A very important interrogatory will this even ing be exhibited to the Representative of Great Britain at the late Conferences at Vienna. Sir J. WALSH has given notice that he will ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was correct, as stated in a recent despatch of Count Buol, that the Noble Lord and the French Ambassador showed them selves decidedly in favour of the Austrian proposition in regard to the Tb ird Point, an d dertook to recom mend the same to their respective Governments ? When the duplicity and insincerity of Austria has attracted so large a proportion of public attention —when her attempts to put forward plausible ex cuses for the palpable evasion of her deliberate and solemn engagements—have so greatly excited contempt and indignation, and materially influenced the popular mind, it should be ascertained beyond the possibility of doubt whether she received any, and what, encouragement from the Plenipotentia ries of the Western Powers, and whether she was induced to believe that the propositions, which have since been unconditionally rejected, would have been favourably received and acted on by the Cabinets of Paris and London. Many people declare, and with much apparent reason, that Austria put for ward a proposition which she well knew could not be accepted by the Allies, merely as a plausible excuse for evading the solemn obligations into which she had entered. Although we do not consider that any declarations of Lord JOHN RussErz, exceed instructions, ing the limits of his could b e regarded as a justification fcr Austria, it is still right that authentic information should be obtained as to the real state of the f acts, which, although they may not serve as an apolog y for Austria, may furnish abundant reasons for regretting the selection of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL for the mission to Vienna, and for his following the course adopted by M. DRorrix DE I:BUYS-- of retiring for a time from the public service. If a change has occurred in the Ministerial mind— if they are determined now to reject' any terms but those which, in the opinion of the country, will lead to an honourable and permanent peace— it is fitting that the country should know when that salutary alteration of sentiment took place, and whether it is participated in by the Noble Secretary for the Colonies. We trust, then, that the Noble Lord will return a full, distinct, and unequivocal answer to the important question, and with the manliness of character for which he was once remarkable, dis dain to shelter himself under any diplomatic sub terfuges or quibbling evasions. A direct and positive assertion, very damaging to the reputa tion of the Noble Lord, has been advisedly put forward by Count BIM; and if unfounded there can be no possible reason why he should rest patiently under the erroneous but damaging imputation ; while, on the other baud, if it be too true—if he has indeed so far yielded to the blandishments of a pretended friend, he should candidly avow his mistake, and retract, or at least attempt to justify, the - views in which his colleagues" do not par ticipate. It is said that Lord RAGLAN has at length re cognised the necessity of giving place to a younger and more vigorous Commander in the Crimea, and that he has anticipated his probable recall by a voluntary resignation. It would have been well for the British nation had the Noble and Gallant Lord—for that he is brave and gallant is beyond the possibility of doubt or dispute—earlier learned this painful but salutary lesson. We might have been spared many deplorable calamities, and thou sands of gallant men might have still survived to their friends and country but for the undue de- ' ference exhibited towards one connected with the highest branches of the aristocracy. General Sr3r2- sort will, it is said, be his successor. We hope that the Gallant General will justify the selection, and the high eulogiums pronounced in Parliament on his military experience and judgment. Should these prove well-merited it will indeed be a fortunate change for the country, and we shall at length have the intense gratification of seeing " the right man in the right place"—the most important place, too, under existing circumstances. The deaths of Brigadier-General ESTCOURT, and Captain LYONS, of the Miranda, who so greatly distinguished himself in the command of the expe dition to the Sea of Azoff, will be deeply lamented by all classes throughout the length and breadth of the land. The gallant General, who held the position of Adjutant-General to the forces in the Crimea, fell a victim to cholera, that fell scourge, which spares neither peer nor peasant, general nor private soldier. Captain LYONS perished from the effects of a neglected wound in his leg, received while in the performance of his arduous duties. The nation has thus lost one of its most ' efficient and valuable officers, in the very prime of life, one who had on many occasions proved him self the worthy son of a distinguished sire, and gave every possible promise of achieving the high est honours in the national service. Sir E. LYONS' merits, and•the loss of a son, will receive the highest commiseration and sympathy of his fel low-subjects. It is hard at any time to lose a son— but to lose such a son—at the very moment, too, of his most brilliant triumph. It is, indeed, an un speakable calamity, the magnitude of which it is almost impossible to duly estimate. Another event of no ordinary importance has also occurred, which will excite a deep sensation in every English heart. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE —the heroine of Scutari—she who voluntarily relinquished an enviable position, accompanied with all the comforts and luxuries which wealth and station could bestow, for the purpose of alle viating the pains and abridging the privations of suffering humanity, has been compelled to return home to seek the restoration of the he3.lth for- . feited, but we trust not irrevocably, in her glorious efforts. She has, indeed, won undying fame, and her name will ever be hailed with enthusiasm, not only by those who owe their very lives to her beneficent labours, but by all who can appreciate the highest virtues be longing to a truly Christian lady. The War is now to be waged in earnest. We no longer look to diplomacy. The pen must give place to the sword, and we must so far humble Russia in the field that she will be com pelled honestly to relinquish, and to give ample material guarantees against the resumption of the aggressive policy which she has so long maintained at the expense of her unfortunate neighbours. The subservience of the German States proves how much more serious was the danger than was generally supposed ; and in proportion to the severity of the disease must be the stringency of the remedies which can alone prove effectual, or produce a permanent and lasting cure. The fatuity of the aristocratic member for Middlesex, in relation to his execrable Sunday Trading Bill, is really pitiable. The monster de monstration of Sunday last has not convinced him of the unpopularity and impolicy of the measure, ncr the plain palpable facts of the case, and the incontrovertible arguments based on them by the press of its injustice. He will not be persuaded though one should rise from the dead. The noble lord is well-meaning and by no means a SOLOMON, and th• Pharisees of the Metropolis have got hold of him. It should excite no surprise if, under such circumstances, he is impervious to reason and the claims of mercy, and longs for the ho nours of martyrdom when they are to be had so cheap. Ho will go on with the bill. IBE SUN, LOND N; his Lordship knows little about it, and to be de- ceived the masses have gone wonderfully near the mark respecting it. But no, says his Lcrdship, the public-houses and coffee-houses will be open to those who may miss the opportunity to purchase for the day. The utter ignorance of the condi tion of the masses here revealed is positively startling. Fancy the multitudinous army of London labourers, with their wives and children, thronging to their boxes at the coffee and public houses, each of the latter with a halfpenny in its mouth, of course for the waiter. The exquisite nature of his Lordship's perceptions, and the fulness of his know ledge, are further perceptible in the distinc tion he evidently draws between shutting up shops and shutting up the coach-houses of the rich. He cannot see any analogy between compelling the poor shopman to refrain from labour on the Sun day and prohibiting the owner of a carriage from employing his coachmen, footmen, and grooms at their usual work on that day also. Nor can he see that, if the latter were done railway travelling and the plying of omnibuses would still have independent grounds of defence, since in the one case half-a-dozen will minister to the laziness of one, and in the other a similar number to the health and recreation of thousands. Even the case of the Clubs, those great private hotels, does not convince him of the injustice of his bill. His reply is—let them continue—why should he touch them when he leaves the poor their houses for food and refreshment ? As though there would be no Beer Bill on the back of the intended mea sure, and food and wine of all sorts could not be had at the Clubs on a Sunday at any hour, and as though the "houses fur food and refreshment for the poor" were not in the majority of cases a delu sion. Nothing will enlighten, nothing will con vince his Lordship ; he will see nothing and believe nothing but what his Pharasaic friends have shown and taught him. The public must take care that no individual member of either House of Parliament shall be able to plead ignorance of their wishes, or if facts and arguments can move him, lend his counte nance to this atrocious bill. STANZAS. ORIGINAL. I look on the chestnut blossom As it points to the cloudless sky, On the daisy's golden bosom, And the byaciath's deep-blue eye. I see the lime tree flinzing- Iti delicate green arms out, The fragrant sweet-briar springing, And the woodbine running about ; The lilac hiding the paling With clusters of purple and white, And the graceful laburnum trailing Its tresses of radiant light. But for me the garlanded bowers Have lost their rainbow hue— I look on the fieldi and dowers, But not as I used to do. I hear the blackbird telling His love ta'e to his mate, And the merry skylark swelling The choir at " heaven's gate." The cuckoo, away in the thicket, Is giving his two old notes, And the pet doves hung by the wicket Are talking with ruffl.id throats. The honey-bee hums as he lingers Where shadows of clover-heads fall, And the wind, with leaf-tipped fingers, Is playing in concert with all. I know the music that gushes Is melody, sweet and true ; And I listen to zephyrs and thrushes, But not as I used to do. I heat the bird-boy's rattle Chime in w►th the cawing rook, I hear the low of the cattle, And the plain of the rippling brook. I hear the shepherd 'singing, And the bleat of the frisking lamb, I hear the loud flail swinging, And the barn-door's creaking slam. I hear the swallows darting, Like arrows, in chase of the fly, And the tawny leveret starting At play in the copse just by. I hear the broad flags quiver Where the wind and tide rush through ; I listen to mill-wheel and river, But not as I used to do. No more ca❑ my footsteps wander Through woodlands, loved and dear ; I gaze on the hill-tops yonder • Through the mist of a hopeless tear. My spirit is worn and weary With waiting for Health and Hest; My long, long night is dreary, And my summer day unblest. My suffering darkens the noonlight, My anguish embitters the balm, My loneliness weeris in the moonlight And sighs in the evening calm. Oh ! Suffering's mournful story Must be wofully long and true, When it finds me noting God's, glory, But not as I used to do, ELIZA COOK. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA. Viscount Canning has been appointed Governor- General of India in the place of the Marquis of Dalhousie, who returns home. It is a singular fact, in connection with this appointment, that George Canning, the father of the new Governor-General, when acting as Foreign Secretary, was about to proceed -to India in a similar capacity. The arrangement, however, did not take effect, and thus it was he remained in England to die at his post in the more brilliant position of Prime Minister. Charles John Canning, the new Governor of India, is the second so n o f th e Ri g h t H on. G eorge Cannin?, by the third daughter of Major-General John Scott, of Bal comie, Fife , hire. He was born at Gloucester-lodge, Brompton, in 1812, and he married in 1835 the eldest daughter and co-heir of the first Lord Stuart de Rothesay. The new Governor-General highly distinguished him self -during his university career. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, and in 1833 we find that he took first-class in classics and second-class in mathematics. He filled the office of Under-Secretary of State from 1841 to 1846. In the latter year he was appointed to the Chief Commissionership of Woods and Forests. He was appointed to the Postmaster-Generalship in 1853, with a salary of 2,5001. It is scarcely, perhaps, neces sary to observe that the noble viscount sat for Warwick shire from the year 1836 to 1837. The meeting in Hyde Park, in his opinion, con sisted of hoaxers and hoaxees. The great body of the people were deceived. It was not his bill, but an imaginary one, paraded about on a pla card, that excited their indignation and drew them together. Yes ; the forty thousand people present did not understand his measure—laboured, in fact, under the most erroneous impressions about it, and all owing to the wilful misrepresen tations of designing men. It was not, as they said, a " bill to put down newspapers, shaving, smoking, eating, and drinking, and all kinds of recreation for body and mind at present enjoyed by poor people." No, not by any means ! Yet his Lordship admits it was a bill to prevent the sale of newspapers after 10 o'clock, or during the time when they were generally sold, to prohibit shaving after the same hour, or before the ROYAL 'ITALIAN OPERA.—Don P asqua l e was performed over wrought labourer has risen from his hardly- earne d sleep and had time to visit the barber's.

Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sum, and has great pleasure in transmitting the enclosed intelligence, which has this day reached him : The French and English are proceeding with their approaches against the enemy's works, and are erecting new batteries, to be armed with heavy guns. The enemy continues to repair the damage done during the last attack. Very little fire on their part. We retain possession of the round Russian fort in the Cemetery, whence they were driven out on the 18th, and the Mamelon, at the gorge of the valley which divides the English Left Attack from the right of the South Harbour. Intelligence has, it is said, been received by the telegraph, reporting the illness and resigna tion of Lord Raglan, and also that General Sir George Brown is suffering from dysentery. Authentic advices from Vienna state that there is no foundation whatever for the statement pub lished in several German papers, that new pro posals of peace have reached that capital from St. Petersburg.

The following telegraphic despatches have been received to-day : " BERLIN, 27th-ST. PETERSBURG, 27th.—The Grand Duke Nicholas, after having inspected the fortresses of Helsingfors, has taken the road towards St. Petersburg, to visit Revel, Riga, and Duna borg." "VIENNA, 28th.—The Moniteur contains a decree in which the Emperor expresses the satisfaction he feels at being able to send to their homes the re serves which had been called out in order to com plete the 3d and 4th corps d'armee on a war footing." The Emperor honoured the Grand Opera with his presence last evening, to witness the 7th repre sentation of the Vepres Siciliennes. Count de Chreptowitch, the Russian Minister at Brussels, has left that city for Poland, where the greater part of his property is situated. He will ba absent from Belg►um about three months. The Count de Flandre, second son of the King of the Belgians, left Brussels on Tuesday for Ghent, to be present at the races and fetes which are now going on there. On the day of his arrival a grand dinner of 120 covers was given to him in the theatre, at which all the principal persons of the town and neighbourhood were present. There was a review yesterday, held by the Em peror in the Place Carroussel, of troops going to the Crimea. Reinforcements to the extent of 50,000 men will be sent out shortly. It is reported that General Niel, of the Engi neers, and many other superior officers, were op posed to the late attack on the Malakhoff Tower, because the troops would be compelled to march 600 metres, exposed, without any protection, to a crushing fire of cannon. General Pelissier, it is said, took upon himself the responsibility of making the assault, against the opinion of a council of war. BOURSE, JUNE 28.—CLosING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

PETERSBURG, June 19.—The Journal of the Ministry of the Interior gives some particulars now for the first time of an event that occurred more than three months ago at Moscow, which caused great consternation at the time, in connection with' the death of the Emperor Nicholas. The celebrated great bell " Reni," suspended in the tower of St. I wan, in the Kremlin, whilst being tolled for the Czar, fell, in consequence of the iron supporters giving %ay, and broke through no less than three separate storeys of vaults, killing five persons on the spot, whilst five were wounded severely and four slightly. The accident made a deep impres sion at the time on the minds of the superstitious Russians, who regarded it as a direct visitation from Heaven in condemnation of the war under taken by the Emperor ; and processions were made, fasts instituted, and candles burned to the Panagia, or Holy Virgin, to appease the wrath of Heaven. The bell is probably the largest in the world, weighing no less than 2,000 pools, or 80,000 lbs. After 3 months' incessant labour it has been swung again. __ — The Navy Journal of this day publishes a string of promotions and appointments mostly at Cron stadt. The Grand Duke Constantine has the com mand of the whole fleet, Rear-Admiral Schanz tL, steam division, Rear-Admiral Tyrannoff to the squadron of line-of -battle ships, and hoists his flag in the St. George the Victorious. Rear-Admiral Lutkoffsky is appointed to the command of the gun ho It to.the north of Cronstadt, between Lis;-No,c 1,1(+ of K this ; whilst P.f.;el-- Admiral ihren men commands the division on the south side of the island.

THE PRINCIPAL' TIES. The Austrian army in the Principal,ities is suffer ing from those climatic intluencec Which this time last year afforded Prince Gortschakoff a decent excuse for withdrawing his army from before Silis tria. Intermittent fevers prevail at Ibrail, Galatz, and all the towns on the Danube. It has been found necessary to remove a considerable number of the Austrian regiments to the Carpathian high lands and Little Wallachia. An Austrian corps of 3,000 men will be retained at Bucharest. PIEDMONT. Monsignor Franzoni, Archbishop of Turin, ex iled for seditions practices in Piedmont, has trans mitted from Lyons au incendiary notification to the clergy and religious orders in his diocese. Affirm ing that the new law is null and void, and that its execution would be robbery and sacrilege, he ad vises the monks to bar the gates of the convents, and yield nothing except to main force. Canons of coll , ,giate foundations are not to give up their benefices, but if driven from them may accept the pension which the new law provides. The object of the prelate is evidently to provide scandalous scenes which may act on the religious passions of the ignorant. ITALY. TURIN, June 23.—An ordinary despatch from General La Marmora, dated head-quarters, Kadi koi, June 11, reports the number of cases of cholera from the 13th of May to the Bth inst. to have been 869, of which 383 had been fatal, 37 been cured, and 449 remained in hospital. This despatch contains some details of the death of the General's brother, from which it appears that he was attacked with cholera on the morning of the sth in the camp at Kamara, from whence he was transported to head-quarters, where, notwith standing the most diligent care, he succumbed after a struggle of 48 hours, at half-past 1 on the morning of the 7th. From the nature of the dis ease his remains were buried the same day, on the field of the Battle of Balaklava. On this occasion the Sardinian Commander-in-Chief issued the fol lowing order of the day : " General Alexander La Marmora, commanding the 2d Division, died last night. Fidelity to his Sovereign, love for his country, indefatigableness for the interests of the army, were the virtues which distinguished his long military career. "Immense is the grief I feel for such a loss. You all, lam sure, share it with me. But to give way under present circumstances would be a crime. " For my part, I support the great responsibility which the Sovereign has deigned to confide to me, and redoubling, all of us, our courage, providence, and per severance, with the Divine aid, we will surmount the malady which causes such cruel losses ; and we shall be ready to co-operate with our grave allies in the fatiguing operations about to be undertaken. " ALFONSO LA MARIMBA." WEST INDIA MAILS. The Royal West India mail-p . acket Atrato, Capt. Woolley (Admiralty agent, 'Lieut. Poole, R.N.), from the West Indies, &c., arrived at Southamp ton yesterday. Her dates 7 of sailing are—Chagres, June 8 ; Car tbagena, June . 10 ;- Jamaica, June 10 ; Demerara, June 9 ; Trinidad, June 9 ; Barbadoes, June 11 ; Antigua, June 14; Martinique, June 13; Grenada, June 12 ; St. Thomas, June 15 ; La Guayra, June 9. The Atrato brings 104 first-class passengers, among whom are—Lieut. Richardson, Capt. Clark, Hon. C Berkly, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Le Caze and family, General Delve and servant, Count Simon, Mr. and two Misses Rothschild, Mr. Buen, Mr. and Mrs. Jandon and family, Mr. and Mrs. Belewzey and family, Mrs. Bridges and family, Mrs. Col. D'Arcey, Mr. and Mrs. Row and family, Dr. Tweaddele, R.N., Don Jose Alverado, Marquis de Gourgault, Mr. and Mrs. Joncheere, Mr. and Mrs. Espinosa, Mr. and Mrs. Levi and family, Mr. and Mrs. Francis and family, Re'v. T. Radley, Rev. J. Lowe, Mr. King, Mr. List, Miss Jermeteau, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Miles, Mr. Fyfe, Mr. Garraway, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Hugo, 36th Regt., &c. The freight on board includes 538,361 dole. ; gold dust, 315,663 doll. ; silver, 222,698 401.5. ; platina and palta pina, 19139 dots. The Atrato brings no news or mails from Mexico. Jamaica continues healthy ; the island has been visited by very heavy rains, which has done great injury to the sugar crops in some districts. Porto Rico has been visited by the yellow fever, 12 per cent. of the troops have been attacked ; also second general in command, with his family, were suffering from the fever when the packet left. The weather at St. Thomas's has been unusually hot and sultry, and the yellow fever spreading very much amongst the shippi r. g; there are 3 merch au t ves sels in the harbour that have lost all their crews by fever. The Royal Mail Steam Packet, Wye, has been visited with fever ; the Ist, 2d, and 4th officers have been attacked, but are recovering ; the chief engineer is in a very precarious state, and Mr. Bidwell, purser, had died after a short illness. The chief engineer of the Eagle is dead ; this is the second chief engineer that has died from the Eagle in a very short time. A hurricane is expected at, the West Indies. The allied squadron destined for the attack of Petropaulovski had, it appears, nearly completed its concentration at the Sandwich Islands, and would consist of fifteen English and French ships, including four steamers. The English and French Admirals are both young men for flick rank, and are reported to be quite up to their work—in fact, made of very different materials to those of the commanders in the last attack, who, by the ac count of the officers engaged in the expedition, were neither more nor less than a couple of old women. It appears from letters recently received from some Russian officers in Petropaulovski, that the place was on the point of surrendering when the Allied squadron retired. The frigate Aurora, by the latest accounts, was in that port ; but it is expected she would have taken an early oppor tunity of retiring to the fortified river of Amour, where the Russians are reported to have assembled a body of some 7,000 men for its defence. It is probable, however, that the Allied squadrons will, after destroying Petropaulovski, next direct their attention to Sitka, another accessible point. In Peru affairs continued quiet.; with a good prospect of a very improved state of affairs under the administration of General .Castilla's govern ment. The city of Lima had been lighted with gas, and a railway destined to unite the port of Arica. with the important city of Tacna is now more than half completed. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Buzzard was at Santa Martha on May 28, and expected to go from thence to Grey Town. MOVEMENTS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS.—June 10 : her Majesty's ships Termagant, with Commo dore Henderson's pendant, Daring, and Arab, at anchor at Port Royal ; June 15, left royal mail steam-packets Wye, Clyde, and Eagle, at St. Thomas's ; Conway, in the Gulf of Mexico ; Teviot, Spanish Main ; Prince, Belize ; Dee, left St. Thomas's on June 9 for England.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. JAifAICA. June 10. The general feature of trade since our last issue, says De Cordova, has been its dullness. Halifax exports have poured in, and we despair of our remarks teaching ex porters of fish cargoes to this island anything like pro dente. One-half the quantity sent us wonid amply supply our daily decreasing wants. Breadstuffs look better, and the demand is moderate, but an excess of supplies will again throw down our prices without re ference to what may rule in England or America. Alewives are in large supply, and held at 18s. Butter—lrish, all at market, say about 500 firkins, has changed hands at 13d. A higher rate is now de manded. No American and Halifax, of prime quality, at market. Brandy—Small sales at 18s to 18s 6d. The market is very heavily supplied, and there is very little inquiry for the article. Cheese Double Gloucester at is. Candles—Very dull, and in excessive supply. A small parcel was sold at public sale at 9d. Codfish—Four cargoes now in first hands unsold, be sides large quantities in second bands. The two cargoes which were noted on the 11th ult. as having been sold at 18s., in tierces, were brought forward at auctions during the last fortnight, and sold at from 345. to 60s. per tierce—such was the great deterioration in quality during the brief period since their receipt. arising from some serious defect in the curing of the fish. Flour—A lot of 300 brls. sold at 51s. 6d. to 525., since which a better feeling is appardit, and 250 brls. sold at 535,, and tbat figure is firmly refused for several lots. Freights—Tonnage is quite ample, and there are seve ral vessels wanting charters. Lard—Sales of small iron bound kegs at 81d. to arrive. Rum is held at 3s. Soap is in enormous supp'y, with little demand. Sugar—A parcel of middling sold at 15s. 6d. per 100 lbs. Exchanges on London: 90 days, per cent. premium; . 60 days, 1 per cent. p re mium ; 30 days, 1i per cent. premium. An a tuatcur performance is to take place at Bridge• water House on Friday evening, July 13, in aid of the Hospital for Convalescents at Walton-on-Thames, which, owing to the bankruptcy of Menge StraJAAD poi and Co., is totally dootitute of funds. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. No. IV. • ELECTION EXPENSES'. 1 1 / 4 ) 'Mg EDITOR OF THE BIM SlR,—There was some show of reason in one defence made for rotten bordughs, that they favoured the entrance into Parliament of young men of talent without influence, or the means of contesting (as things went) the larger eonstituetacies. But the basis of this and similar arguments is the fallacy that large pecuniary outlay is indispensable to a candidate for the senate. It may be an usage, but it is not a necessity, and the sooner it is de monstrated and put an end to the better. In contemplating a task the first thing to be ascer tained is, whether the apparent obstacles are insuper able, or capable of removal. To be the former they must possess some natural attribute or law, and it this does not appear, with proper exertion there is good hope of success. Joint-stock companies and associations are models of society in miniature. Their object is to bring combined action to do what single efforts would never accomplish. This will be the task of the Administrative Reform Association if it intends to succeed. It has certain pro fessed objects in view. By what means are they to be carried into effect ? Are the impediments occasioned by any natural or physical law, or are they the spawn of routine, selfishness, and mistaken policy If the Associ 'don only succeed by its inquiries and inductions in producing a temporal , amendment to silence popular clamour, and not establishing a machinery by which the reform might go steadily on, it would not be worth the value of its first year's subscrip tion ; for, unlike the Anti-Corn-Law League, it is not directed to the repeal of one or more obnoxious statutes, which, when attained, success is accomplished ; but it has to build up as well as cut down, and the result of its labours should be to leave in action a power by which its designs may be perpetuated. They cannot create an Ephori, nor establish a censor ship ; they cannot set up tribunes, imperium in imperio, for that would be an u , urpation ; but they can bend their efforts to make an existing recognised power in the state a real represenOticn of a great and united nation — the key, the mainspring, and fulcrum of combined har monious action. Li 4 them do this and their labours will be glorious, and to pave the way they cannot co a more acceptable service than promote the means of inexpensive elections. I am told that the late contest for Marylebone (with out bribery) cost Lord Ebrington 5,0001., and Jacob Bell quite as much ! Is not this monstrous ? Can such be called a delega tion of an important trust, requiring devotion, labour, and efficiency, or is it the purchase of an oppirtunity for personal advancement ? If it be made the latter, no constituency can have a right to complain who make their representation such a costly luxury. If, instead of 5,000/., I could be elected for Maryle bone, or any other constituency in the kingdom, for as many shillings, I would not have it at the price. No doubt with large bodies like the metropolitan con stituencies, under the present system of canvassing and electioneering, there is necessarily a considerable expen diture, without the least impure practice on the part of the electors, simply to bring them acquainted with the aspiring candidate. For instance, at Marylebone the hire of public rooms alone, for the purpose of addressing the electors of the several districts, amounted to a large sum, independent of paid agents and canvassers. The latter might be well dispensed with (if the people would take it in hand), but there must be some means of seeing and hearing in order to judge ; for it may so happen that the least-known candidate may be infinitely the most deserving. How is this difficulty to be met ? I am afraid of re lying upon mutual forbearaece, yet this the Association proposes, when it asks constituents not to solicit mem bers, and the latter not to " darken Mr. Hayter's doors." If it can be done in that case it can in others, and I know not how talent and integrity is t 3 have fair play if a large outlay cannot be avnjded. It may be said this is one of OP natural advantages wealth cannot be deprived of, just a., to ride in a coach while merit walks in the mud ; to liver , in a fine house while talent inhabits a garret; and to enjoy all the com forts of a plentiful estate—which I would Not deprive them of. But the point is, while giving wealth all its private rights and advantag , s, in the public service to counte:*act if possiiile any undue advantage, so as not to exclucL l poor merit from all competition. Let constituencies invite the comparison of candidates, as congregations in want of a pastor. Give them a meet ing and an opportunity to address them, and afford themselves means of judging who is worthy of their support. _ _ _ The effect, at present, is, that where a man is not known or introduced, he thinks it vain to appear ; while some wealthy noodle, equally unknown, swoops upon a vacant borough—sends for a leading attorney, whom be retains with others, and is at once provided with in troduction, committee, proposers, and—a seat ; with all its baleful consequences to the nation. Of late we have had a few vacancies, and I select them as illustrations merely because they have occurred. The la3t was Bath, a large, important place, vacated by Mr. Phinn. He being a native, and otherwise known, at the general election was returned ; but retiring kft no one in similar circumstances to succeed him. The interval is often designedly short, as at Liskeard and Devonport ; aGovernment candidate travelling with the writ, or carrying the news of the vacancy which he offers to fill, and we all know the advantage of a good start. Bath had therefore to seek—or be sought—by a stranger ; and then the pruce-ts is—a Coa.ervativa Churchman being already in the field, some Dissentinir adinirers think of a Culling F 4 a , dley, or some other favourite saint to oppose him, and a negotiation is opened for the purpose. It fails, and now the vice-chairman of a new and popular association comes down as a volun teer, clothed with all the influence of his official capacity. What an outcry would have been heard had I, or any other person of reform principles, started as an indepen dent candidate—what a roar of dividing the liberal in terest,.fighting the battle of the enemy, &c., &c., would have been raised ; and yet, what allegiance is due or broken ? As the Irish member' saiu of posterity, the intruder might exclaim, " What has the liberal interest done for me that I should retire," as if, otherwise, the sun of England would set for ever, or the British lion expire in convulsions ?—the eyes of the world being always fixed, of course, on that most important struggle. It was a tight contest without this ; it would have been a Tite defeat with it. Apply this to Canterbury, Hull, Windsor, Devon port, Norwich, and other places, and you will find the battle tune with variations, 8x uno disce omnes. Fur Myself, I have often thought that, with courage awl' self-reliance, much might be done by one's own exertions, and at least an opportunity given to the great bulk of a constituency, who are quite free from the job bery and the corruption, when there' is any, to exercise a choice rather more extensive than Hobson's. If an occasion Gr necessity shall arise I will some .day set the example. The mass of the electoral corps are as much the viotims of the system as any one. They are not bribed, for you cannot purchase legion (it is al ways a small clique who get the money and the places) ; and they must either vote for the led candl ate or not at all, being much in the condition of little children, who are to "open their months and shut their eyes, and see what God will send t:.`ent." Let an indepenclent and corupetent man go down to a constituency, proclaim himself thi'ough the press, issue addresses, and if he cannot get rooms, !fleet in the open air, as they almost always do at the non:ination, and if deserving be is certain to attract supporter enough to flat, if not to return him, and thus, fighting iris battle cheaply, with none but the bare legal expenses (which the 'public ought to pay), and a :ftw handbills (particularly with short Parliament's, and an extended suffrage), money competition would soon be beaten down. Like Pyrrhus their victories would ruin theta. Depend upon it there is notLtin4 like'healthtul competition, and none are more inte►ested than electors themselves. They should encourage deserving applicants for their suffrages, and despite the patty cries of in terested rivals. If they would be well served, elections must be free. Better would it be for them to subscribe for the purpose of meeting unavoidable expenses than make the blind choices they are driven to. They ought to pay their re presentative, as the old constitution prescribed, and until they do let them cease to tax him. If Parliamentary labour is an honour worth paying for, why then do Ministers of Stae receive salaries ? Surely as the distinction is greater, arid the power more considerable, their posts, on similar principles, should be a source of revenue to the country they derve. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, SA 1! . 1 UEL CARTER. 3, Church court, Temple, Jime 24, 1855.

Sin,--Seeing a few remarks in your paper, on a lette r written by me a short time since, in which I suggested the practicability of foieniog a large volunteer corps of 50,000 men for active service in the East, I feel anxious to trespass still further on your time and space by adding a few more details in explanation of my plan. But before I do so, allow me to revert to that period of our history - when the followers of knights and barons far exceeded our present army in numerical force, and although the composition of this force differed ma terially from that which we have at present, wanting the permanent embodiment of the regulars, as the feud:a soldier after the campaign relapsed into the yeoman, till again called upon to fight, • yet superior to the militia, as his services were available for foreign wars, following the persons of the mailed knights to the East against the Sa.acein, and to France, as Cressy, Poictiers, and Agincourt can testify. In the - three kingdoms there could have been little short of 200,000 of these fine troops. • And now in the 19th century we can scarce find more men than a third-rate Power can afford to lend us from her superfluity. It would appear theref , re that our military force has diminished with the increase of. the population. Perhaps it will be argued because we did not want men to fight, but to work. A good argument in time of peace. At present how ever, a re' er ie at least of 100,000 men is necessary, and under the existing system cannot be procured. We must, therefore, follow-our forefathers' plan, and make an offer more attractive in' former times. The barons and the different grades below them held their lands by military tenure, a rather more appreciable arrangement than the miserable present and hopeless future of the modern recruit. The stout yeoman of old readily jumped into the saddle, in consideration of his acres, and was ready at the beck of his lord to do a little private or public busi ness, as the case might be. We had better then imitate , our ancestors, and if we cannot give our soldier s broad lands in England ' let them have it in the colonies, not in lieu ot, but in addition to, their half p a y and their pensions ; and I cannot see why they should not have the choice of the colony, if possible. I propose, therefore, to hold out to the volunteer corps, as inducements to serve the country, Pro motion, without purchase, land in the colonie, if an officer, in addition to his half-pay ;if a soldier, to his pension. Officers should be appointed to the corps on its first forma/ion by the Heise-G All subsequent vacancies to be filled up from the non. election. commissioned officers of the corps itself—by After the candidate has passed a military exaroihati°n he is then to be recommended for promotion. The volunteer to be entitled to his land at the qu a tion of the term lie has agreed to serve for—the quail' tity according to hii military rank. If wounded, or incapable of service from sickness, then to receive it at once. The land orders to be -transferable, either by wilb by sale, or by gift.' • • nerds. To be forfeited under certain grave circumstances. All other regulations of the army to be in force ; ecen missions, &c., made out in the usual way. Toe a ment of m litary commissioners fur enrolling the ma° , think, would work better than the half-tipsy recruietag sergeant. of A man entering such a corps feels that the door promotion is to be unlocked by merit, and not by a golden key. He would feel that he had been fairly. ppoint; dealt with, that no one had been thrust over his 120 4 because he was not rich. The profession of arms at • present entails disaprint" meat on far too many when in the service, and narrow' circumstances when out. My plan may be objected to, but it must be bett_e! than hiring men to fight our battled: w hi c h is declaration of weakness, and has hitherto significantly marked the decline of nations , their IF, therefore, the men of England who boast of power, who aspire to set hounds to a mighty nation' aspireshould turn out unab e to carry on with sufficient to oe! force the great struggle they have had the courage corn melees, then they will sink frem their high p a fearful ositi and be considered a nation who wages w ar without 0.01; diers, trusting to money to hire from on e Continental_ country soldiers to cut the throats of people living I . o ' another. all with our own brave population than S ardinia or Why should we be less able to fight our ow n battle s Other small State ?
