Observe—opposite the Yorl; Hotel. "Tim police of Hamburg were requested, by a tele. graphic message from the Superintendent of Police, City of London, on the 6th March, to arrest one Susannah Evans, who was about to arrive in company of a man, whose description was given, and several other females, by the steamer Countess of Lonsciale, on the 7th March, at Hamburg. The necessary measures for the fulfilment of this request were immediately adopted, and the desig nated persons were, at their arrival on board the steamer taken into custody by the police, and brought directly to the head office of the police. These persons were the above-named Susannah Evans, five other English girls, and one Maria Schein, who accompanied them. These persons were interrogated by a functionary of the Crimi nal Jurisdiction, who is conversant with the English lan ; guage. It became evident, by such inquiry, that Susan ; oaf' Evans, who said she was 15 years of ate, but who appeared older, has not fully known for what prpose she hal been brought over. The other girls, who had evidently belonged to the worst class of London prosti tutes, had come over with the free resolution to enter into a house of prostitution, an l they declared that such was still theirintention. It was found necessary to send three of these girls to the hospital, in consequence of bodily indisposition. The remaining two, being of full age, so that the police had no right to interfere, went to a brothel kept by a person named Munch, according to their own wish. " Some days later the police officer, whos 3 arrival had been announced by the telegraphic message, presented himself to the police at Hamburg. Susannah Evans, who till then had not been kept in a house of detention, I but who had been given into the charge of a respectable private woman, was placed at the disposal of the English police• officer, and the proceedings of the police were communicated to him. The interview he desired with the other girl; wee not only conceded, with all possible facility, but an effer was made to him to take back with him all those persons, but he declined to do e l, after having seen the two prostitutes at the house of Niunch , Goal having refused to see the three other girls, who had been sent, to ti:e hospital. " In this whole case the Hamburg police have acted With the strongest desire to facilitate the object of the police officer, who repeatedly expressed his thaelts foT the Obliging manner iu which all his requests had been fulfilled, and who desired, on his departure, to be Pre sented to the chief of the police, and repeated to him that all his wishes had been attended to, and that his superiors would he willing to reciprocate their vrvices. " It may also be stated that the accusation of theft against Susannah Evans, alluded to in the English papers, had hardly come under consideration, but was immediately overruled on the production of the letter referred to." The Lord Mayor said he felt sure that the press would give the same fair publicity to the communication which had been male on the part of the police of Sunburg, as had been given to the report of the London officer. BRUTAL ASSSULT.—.IoIuz, Felix, a powerful fellow, who Eaid he was a labourer, was charged with commit ting a most brutal and ruffianly assault upon a woman vyith wimin he had for some months cohabited, named Mary Ann Brookes. The prisoner had been remanded for some days, in order that the prosecutrix, who had been an inmate of St. Bartholomew's Hospital ever since the time the assault was committed, might prrsonally attend. The following is the evidence in support of the charge : J. Fisher, city constable, No. 672—About half•past 11 o'clock on the night of the assault, I went to the third floor of No. 11, Foster street, where I saw the prosecutrix lying on her back in the room ; her head was in a pool of blood, which was running from her mouth and nose. I then fetched a surge , m, after which I removed her to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On my Apprehending the prisoner he said he had struck her in the face, but he did not think it was anything serious. John 111‘Leod—I reside in the same house as the pri soner and prosecutrix did. When I went up stairs about 9 o'clock on the night in question, there was a row. I saw the prisoner give the prosecutrix a smack on the right side of the face. She then ran down stairs, he pursuing her. She again came up stairs, following me, when the prisoner took her up in his arms and threw her down on the floor. She went to the window, and said to the prisoner, "This is the last time you shall do this if I get over it." He then went up to her and knocked her down with his fist, on the face, on the right side, and she appeared senseless. While she was clown he kicked her three times on the back part of the head, he having his boots on. He then stooped down and hit her three times on the right side of the face. The floor instantly became covered with blood. The prisoner has been in the frequent habit of beating her. On one occasion I heard the prisoner threaten her that if she attempted to send him to prison for ill-treating her, he would stick the hooks (a large pair of double hooks used for the purpose of lifting bales of wool) into her. The young woman, Marian Daniels, who attempted to stab Lady Chantrey at the Pier Hotel, Brighton, with a cheese knife, has been pronounced by one of the parish surgeons decidedly insane. On Wednesday an order was made by the borough bench for her removal to Bethnal 4reen.

She was in an exceedingly weak state. She was not in immediate danger, but from the injuries she had received she would have been in danger if she had not been immediately attended to. She is now progressing towards health. The ribs which had been set on the former occasion were not again br.,ken. The Lord Mayor having asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer <to the charge, the latter replied that he should leave the matter to be dealt with by his lordship. The Lord Mayor said the whole case presented far too serious an aspect to be dealt with summarily, and he thought the ends of justice could only be attained by committing the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial, on the charge of unlawfully and maliciously in flicting upon the prosecutrix grievous bodily harm. Committed accordingly. BOW-STREET.—Tan PARK GUNS —A number of boys, of ages varying from 12 to 16, were severally charged with throwing stones at the soldiers engaged in working the park guns. It appeared that about one o'clock that afternoon orders were received to fire the guns in celebration of the c mclusion of the peace. They were accordingly got ready on the parade, but the order being countermanded at the last moment the charges were drawn and the guns removed. A crowd had assembled, principally of boys, some of whom commenced pelting the soldiers, and the police apprehended all whom they caught in the act of throwing stones. Penalties were inflicted of from ss. to 10s., or in de- fault, imprisonment for from 7 to 10 days. Win. Randall, age 23, was fined 205., or in default, sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, for a similar offence. Mary Ann Brookes, the prosecutrix, a sickly, ema ciatid-looking woman, who was carried into court in a chair, and remained seated during her examination, and who appeared to he still suffering intense agony from the injuries she had received, said—l have been cohabiting with the prisoner about seven months, and have now cnne here from St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On Saturday night, the Bth March, the prisoner came home rather tipsy, and complained that his supper was not ready. He then struck me, and knocked me down, and on my telling him that if he repeated the blow I would put him where hecould not come out, he lifted me up in his arms, and threw me upon the ground with the left side of my face downwards, and then struck me several blows on the right side of my face. He then kicked me on the back of my hod ; he had his shoes on at the time. The blood gdshed from my mouth. I screamed "Murder," upon which he returned and gave me another kick on my right side. I was, at the time, an out-door patient of the London Hospital, in consequence of the ribs on my right side being fractured by a blow from six or seven weeks be fore. Mr. J. Allen, house-surgeon at Bartholomew's Hos pital, said—The last witness was brought to the hospi tal about two o'clock on the morning of the 9th March, when I examined her, and found her in a very weak state. She appeared half stupified. There was coagu lated blood upon her face. There were marks of a blow on the right eye, on the right cheek; and on the right side of the chin. There was also a swelling on the back of her head, apparently from a blew or fall. She had a plaister on her loins, and a bandage round her body, with " London Hospital" marked upon it, whish'had been placed there for some previous injury. There was a recent mark on the stomach, as from a kick, mad REVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDING No. I.—An Abstract of the Net Produce of the Revenue and other Receipts of the Unii the corresponding periods ted'Kingdom, in the undermentioned periods, of the preceding year. ....

One of those dreadful spectacles, happily now of ra7e occurrence—a public executian—took place yesterday mqriiin in the metropolis, in the front of the gaol of NewgaLe. The culprit was William Bousfield, who was convicted at the March sessions of the Central Criminal Court of the murder of his wife in a most horrible manner, by cutting her throat and wounding her in several other party of the body with a chisel, there being also three other indictments against him for murdering his three children at the satno time and with the same instiument. The dreadful acts appeared to have beta committed without any motive that was apparent, and the wretched man, after he had destroyed his wife and children, went straight to the police-station iii Bow-street, and avowed the fact, and delivered himself up to the police. The learned counsel who defended him at the trial (Mr. Ballantme) admitted that he was entirely helpless as to a defence, except that the enor mity of the crime was in itself a proof that the prisoner could not have been in his right senses when he com mitted it ; and the jury, having at once returned a ver dict of guilty, the law was left to take its tour-e. Almost from the moment of his being committed for trial the prisoner exhibited a peculisr sullen and taciturn demeanour, and he evaded every attempt to obtain some clue as to the causes that could have induced him to commit such atrocious acts ; but although the Rev. Mr. Davis, the ordinary of the gaol, has paid him unre mitting attention, and frequently conjured him for bis own sake, if not for that of the public, not to leave the world without giving some explanation upon the subject, it proved of no avail. Upon some occasions he appeared ' as though he was inclined to make a statement upon the subject, but after saying a few words he would suddenly appear to check himself, and not a syllable more would escape his lips. Enough, however, has transpired to make it appear that jealuu-y was the primary cause of the dreadful tragedy, and in a letter written by the pri- Honer to his father he accused his wife of having coin mit:ed adultery ; and it appears that one of the unhappy children who died by his hand had informed him, a few days before the fatal occurrence, that she had seen a young man who was in the habit of frequenting the cigar shop kept by his wife kiss her, and this, it would appear, greatly infuriated the prisoner, and very probably led to the fatal result. It was very evident for some time that the prisoner entertained strong hopes that his life would be spared ; and he appeared desirous to impress the authorities of the prison by his conduct that hia mind was affected. His proceedings in this respect were, however, of so clumsy a character that the deception was immediately detected, and upon his being remonstra.ted with and reminded that such a course could not by any possibility benefit him, he at once desisted. The ordi nary was constantly engaged in reading and conversing with the unhappy man in the hope that he might be brought to a proper sense of his awful position, but it appeared that his exhortations were attended with very little effect. On Saturday the prisoner made a most desperate at tempt at self-destruction. The public are aware that the condemned cell, which was formerly the receptacle for prisoners condemned to death for the short period of their lives then allowed by the law after seeteuce, is no longer made use of, but the prisoner is placed in a suffi ciently comfortable room, at this period of the year with a good fire, and watched night and day by one of the officers of the gaol. It appears that en Saturday after noon the prisoner was visited by two of his sisters. They were very much distressed, as may be conceived, under the circumstances ; but the prisoner exhibited a good deal of indifference, and very little passed at the interview. After his sisters had left him, Bousfield was seated upon the edge of his bed, which is close to the fire place, the officer being quite near him, when he suddenly started from his seat and threw himself head foremost upon the grate. The officer immediately rushed upon him and dragged him from his perilous position, and, with assistance, his clothes, which were on fire, were pulled off, and he thus escaped from receiving ma terial iitjury. The prisoner had a good deal of hair under his chic, and this had ignited, and the mouth and lower parts of the face were severely burned. Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the gaol, was at once sent for, and he found that all that could be done was to apply cooling lotions to the face, to relieve the pain, and these were con tinued almost constantly during the remaining period of the wretched man's existence. It appeared tiat from this time the prisoner refused to take any sustenance, and the only nutriment be received from Saturday after noon to the time appointed for his execution was a small quantity of milk, and that was almost f orcibly adminis teredl to him with a spoon. It is due to the sheriffs, Messrs. Kennedy and Rose, to state that they have take n a mos t painful interest in the unhappy man, and they have grant e d every facility for representations to be made in the proper quartem with a view that if any facts existed that would justify a commutation of the sentence they should be made known. The sheriffs or their deputies, Messrs. J. A. Rose and Stone, have seen him almost every day since he has'been in the gaol; - and they have joined their exhortations to those of the ordinary to endeavour to bring the wretched prisoner to a proper sense of his condition ; but, al though he appeared grateful for their kindness, their attentions did not Deem to be attended with any 511CCet/ the prisoner to the last remained dogged and silent, and refused all explanation upon the subject of his critneß. As early as six o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Sheriff Rose, accompanied by his brotherand deputy, Mr. J. A. 11ase, was in attendance, and Mr. Sheriff Kennedy and Mr. Under Sheriff Stone shortly afterwards arrived at the gaol. The , Rev. Mr. Davis had been with the wretched man from an earlier hour, but all his endea vours to induce bim to receive the consolations of roll- pion were ineffectual. He appeared, indeed, in an almost totally prostrate condition, and Mr. Weather bead, the newly-appointed governor of Newgate, directed that some wine should be given to him. When the authorities, whose painful duty it was to superintend the execution, were admitted to the room where the wretched man was confined he was found sitting on a sort of couch that formed his bed, with his head buried in his breast, and apparently utterly unconscious of what was passing around him. Calcraft, the executioner, at once pro• ceeded to pinion the culprit, and when this had been completed the prisoner vomited for a considerable time, and the whole of his physical powers appeared to have left lain , . There can be no doubt, how ever, from what subsequently occurred, that a good deal of this was as sumed, in the hope, possibly, that some of the usual pre cautions would be neglected, and that he might thus be enabled to carry out the plan he had evidently cottem , plated of creating a scene on the scaffold. Fortunately, however, notwithstanding the apparently prostrated condition of the prisoner, he was securely pinioned, and bis subsequent desperate proceedings on the scaffold only had the effect of increasing his own sufferings. ' When the ceremony of pinioning had been completed, the prisoner let his head drop on his breast, and he appeared to have already felt the pang of death. Eight o'clock, the fatal hour for the execution, haring arrived, the prisoner was raised by four men, and in that manner oenveyed to the scaffold. As he appeared totally unable to stand, it was considered the best course to be adopted was to place him in a chair under the beam, and he was sustained in that position by one of the assistants, while Calcraft fixed the rope in its proper position. The Rev. Mr. Davis accempaniei the wretched man, but from his apparent state it seemed useless to perform the usual offices of religion. When the signal was given the chair i❑ which the wretThed man was still seated, of course gave way with the drop, and consequently the fell was not ne trl v so great as it is under ordinary circumstances, an 1 at ttii.3 dreadful moment the prisoner attempted to eery out the desperate struggle for life which be evi deaily contemplated. The sound of the falling drop lad scarcely passed away, when there was a shriek from the crowd of "He is up again," and, to the horror of cite ry one, it was found that the prisoner, by a powerful muscular effort, had dra en himself up completely to the level of the drop, and that both his feet were resting upon the edge of it, and he was vainly endeavouring to raise hn hands to the rope. One of the officers iintne ,iiately rushed upon the scaffold and pushed the wretched man's feet from their hold ; but in an instant, by a vio lent effort, he threw himself to the other'side, and again succeeded in getting both his feet on the edge of the drop. Calcraft, who had left the scaffold, imagining that all was over, was called back, and he seized hold of the wretched criminal, and it was with considerable difficulty that he could force him from the scaffold, and he was again suspended. The short relief the wretched man had obtained from the pressure of the rope by those desperate proceedings had probably enabled him to respire ; and, to the astonishment and horror of the spectators, he a third time succeeded in placing his feet upon the platform, and again his hands vainly attempted to reach the fatal rope. Calcraft and two or three other men then again forced the wretched man's feet from their hold, and his legs were held dcwn until the final struggle was over. Wluie this fearful scene was being enacted the bells of the diff-rent neighbouring churches were ringing merrily upon the aninuncement of peace, offering a sad contrast to the melancht}if proceedings. At 9 o'clock time body of the prisoner was cut down and placed in a shell, and in the evening it was buried in the gaol, pursuant to the terms of the sentence. The crowd assembled upon the occasion appeared to be much smaller than usual. THE "WHISPER OF FACTION." ( Front the Dispatch. ) There are few features of our time more ominous of the future, or significant of the recent past, than the t,triking disruption of the political ties which formerly bound citizens and their common principles of govern ment up in a bond of cooperation in Parliament, and of firm union before the face of the country. The issues of political power and the forces of government being centred in the House of Commons, it was_early .sPen that to " doctor" the theory of popular election by the practices of corruption and by the perversion of the elec tive system, was the only way whereby government, by monarchy or an oligarchy, e , old be possible. King and lords, therefore, set their wits, and, we may add, their creatures, the judges of the land, to work, to mould the la the electors and the suffrage districts to their pur pose.. When other interests arose, these were assumed into the general partnership of corruption ; and, in place f dividing, added to, the strength of the yielous rystem. The Church, the East India Company, the Rink of Eng land, the municipal corporations, the colonial, the ship ping, the agricultural interests, sopped by exelusile privileges, differential duties, and protective tarin and rights, conspired with the army, the navy, and the sti endiaries of the State, to strengthen the first and second estates at the expense of the third. War came and we lt, drowning us in debt. Protection over-reached itself, and found that it had smothered its fondlings into feebleness and ruin. Discontented exclusiveness and grumbling privilege quarrelled with its accomplices in the plunder of the public. Catholic emancipation shook the loyalty of the Church to the cause of corruption ; and the Reform Bill, albeit defective in details, " took away the breath" of veteran reformers by the extent and thoroughness of its changes. Even that great charter of the people would perhaps have failed to eradi cate the peccant burnoure of the elder Adam from our political system, had that been a solitary measure. Bat the depression of commerce through monopoly, and the crippling of our manufacturers by the protective policy, at the very time they had to sustain a fierce competition in neutral markets with formidable and unfettered rivals, necessitated, under our burdensome dispensation of na tional debt and extravagant expenditure, an entire ex plosion of the protective system. The charter of the East India Company went first ; the cerporations were converted into provincial friee Parliaments ; Catholics and Dissenters invaded the civil privileges of 'Church men ; the colonial tubs were made to stand on their own leaky bottoms ; the home shipping was ma le to sink or swim as its own seaworthiness or otherwise might find it ; even bread was untaxed, the farmers exposed to the breezes of competition, and home manufacturers left to sustain their oven merits in competition with their foreign rivals in the colonies and the mother-country. Those privileges, the creatures of statutes made by their bene ficiaries, have gradually been destroyed ; and there has for some time ceased to be any motive presented to large nao e bdn m le,e y n a , t n t t ihhyneei longer interests,nrnhgeereae, new classes of the community to command the issues of Par liamentary power, and, therefore, to combine together tblwoooindt longer eu o ros t fto b atf e iha r nen e y s tn t i sia a oet t ici e roi s an t l. to cadefyocrN :i)Parliamentary their nllinaitore, nh tataiali E re o deys common been l E p o u(nio n iesnupi e etne n di policy of free trade has called into existence other classes essentially p spirit and tendencies. The unprivileged shipowner and S merchant, the unprotected manufacturer and land owner, thriving by the freedom of commerce, competing in wealth with even the hereditary aristocracy, have sought to crown the ambition of their success by seats in Parliament. The railway system and other great joint-stock undertakings have given enormous wealth, suddenly acquired in open competition to persons sprung from the ranks, sometimes the dregs of the people. Having no other badge and sign of social dis tinction open to them, these parvenus and nouveaux reci tes have instinctively turned their eyes to that which would command for them the attention and fl atter y of the high i and Parliament titled and the powerful. A seat in " the House" is the "c h m i o i tt n i, e society,stock Exchange, re ; , u engineers, acontractors,nge manu f acturers , eteam-shipping managers and railway directors. In "the good old time, when George 111. was Ki n g," men entered Parlament with definite public objects and spec ific p olitical views. The y were not , countingfeu sesame e - s h a o m is' u l s e e' ' p, o t t populated ue rank,l factory,at e fashion, with indeed, suffered to climb the steep of power until they bad pledged themselves to a distinct political confession. The members were all nominees of others who held the strongest opinions on affairs of state, and looked upon seats in Parliament solely as the instruments whereby those were to be upheld and enforced. With the de struction of corporators, monopolists and ecclesiastical ascendancy, the powers of nomination have ceased. Men enter into Parliament as mere political amateurs. They are pledged to no party, and utterly indifferent , to mere political views. They are too rich to be drawn within the influences of the Treasury or the at mosphere of the blandishments of the Opposition whipper-in. The nicest calculations of faction can not count their noses, and party has become, on all sides, a mere rope of sand. Party leaders, in place of resisting the innovation, have lent their influence to the change, and responded to the spirit of the time. Sir Robert Peel broke up his party. The Liberals have always been too disunited to sustain each other in office 1 with the firmness and unanimity which would enable their leaders to dispense with the occasional assistance of the Opposition to defeat their own supporters, and, therefore, they have been in a chronic state of resigna tion for many years. They have, however, always as if by common consent, instinctively united against Tory ism whenever in the exigencies of party it surprised itself into office. The recent coalition was a virtual ac knowledgment that parties had failed and were super seded by a temporary union of abstract principles. Broken up by the capricious secession of the leader of the Reformers, that combination has been succeeded by a scratch pack of all parties; and now we are assured that Palmerston holds office only on sufferance, until peace is proclaimed ; that party is dead; that there are no factions at all, and that all Government is very nearly at a deadlock. It is said that faction is the madness of ' the many for the gain of the few ; but it requires a high attainment of political principle and public intelligence to do without it. To that moral height we fear we have ' see - : not yet reacked.nand. wiyare, therefore, in that dangers e N one state in e wtneh party. is_too we a k te comma.nd the cellectiveorof Government and wisdom and patrio tism are no, r 3 dg enough . to make public spirit its own reward, and to induce mento agree to sink minor differ ences, that they nriy by their union compass the greatest practicable amount of public good. At this moment, perhaps, a greater nuraber :at the members of both houses are agreed on the support of the interests repre sented by Mr. Disraeli than on any other single interest ; and that gentleman pretty confidently looks to an early return to office. But jealousy of theparvenu and the Israelite operates strongly against him. Pak . ington, Walpole, and the old Herries and Wellington school 07 Tories are disgusted with the merely destruc tive, satirical, and censorious attitude he invariably as- Burnes ' and except to that s l as hi ng s t y l e o f personality which forgets the sober business of the house, simply to abuse and ridicule individuals. Report whispers that the Earl of Derby is not so well affected towards him as formerly, and that Sir E. B. Lytton contests with him his place. In finance he is not regarded a 3 safe by , capitalists ; but it is quite possible that, were a Tory Ministry once formed, a powerful combination might give it strength. Should it belie its principles and tak e to the policy of reform and progress, we do not deuht its chances of continuance a-e considerable ; but nnee ee the Lord Stanley element in it grow stronger and stronger, it wwild only endure by sufferance, and would be hurled from office by Radical measures carried bra combination of all the elements of the Opposition. The spirit of the age is so decidedly progressive and reconstructive in its tendency that no party, whetever be its name, can main tain itself in place without yielding homage to th e p reva il. inn tendency of pubic opi n i on . It is, therefore, only by Tories ceasing to be Tories that they can begin to be permanently in office. What Sir R. Peel did for Con servatism, Lord J. Russell has effected for Whiggery— he has effectually ruined it ; we wish we oould say front s simf motives. We see no probability of his being alst, kit er up and around him the fragments he scatter est tonly. His lieutenants have entered another Fie r ✓ ,;he has destroyed his Dissenter antecedents by ? D i e c uct on the Church-rate question ; many of his 'tra ditional supporters have died off or been superseded at the hustings ; we see no prospect that he can cysr lead again ; and without Lord J. Russell there can, be no Whig party. But a new combination of inched duals is eaptemplated, which looks with Bauch confide ac e t o a tease of power. Messrs. Gladstone, Cardwell, Herbert, Graham, and other Peelites, have already virtually co alesced with the party represented by Messrs. Cobden, Bright, Gibson, J. B. Smith, and the Mancheister school. Their political spirit has long been nearly identical ; the details in which they differ become gradually fewer. They have the favour of Prince, Albert, the ear of the Court, and are fully agreed upon the policy of peace and retrenchment. In the Legislature they are entirely isolated ; in the country they are de tested and despised. They are, notwithstanding in our opinion, the ablest men in Parliament ; and, the question of foreign politics excepted, they are the most enlightened, intelligent, and least corrupt politicians who can at present be combined in the co-operation of patty. They are fully aware of the bad odour in which they stand ; but they depend upon the Court to call then, to office, and upon the boldness, thoroughness and radicalism of their programme, to carry public popula rity by storm. It is the hope of Lord John Fussell to come into power upon a Reform Bill ; but the Peek Manchester party trump that card by adding the Ballot eta their bill of rare, and by improvements in the system of finance, banking and taxation, they do not doubt they will secure the support of the commercial classes. Examining the prospects of faction on the theory of exhaustion, we come last of all to the collection of indi viduals at present drawn together under the leadership of Lord Palmerston. It is easy to call it a mere transi tion Government ; but what for the last 12 years has any other been ? It is easy to allege that it has no de tsrinieate policy ; but what was the policy of Derby ! The preponderance of principle in the present Ca binet is greatly liberal ; it has been exemplarily diligent and vigorous in its administration ; it has proposed good and useful, even bold measures of practical reform, which have only been too liberal and radical for the present temper of the Legis• lature ; and where it has failed, it has not been by its opposition to intelligent progress, but by being liberal beyond its strength. As yet we are not satisfied that the country could change the Administration for the better ; but that Administration must very plainly see, that against the majorities which so frequently thwart its measures it cannot hope to make head without a thorough change in the machinery which determines tb e issues of political power. With the rein . roduction of peace, Lord Palmerston must put forth hie own scheme • Pail amentary Reform. The earnest spin t and strorg cony ctions of the people must be more . irrpreq.ol upon the hosting'', and better marked at the pod'. The mete Par iementary loungers, pledged to ne principles, hav ing no convictions, professing only what will get them ✓ turned, and only to serve the purpose of returning them, must be swept away by a fresh organic recon struction of the constitution ; and decided cpinions sell principles, without which party cohesion will be impost Bible, must be secured by infusing the earnestness of the masses into the representative system through a wider extension of the franchise, and a more direct account ability of members to their constituents. Unless Lord Palmerston is prepared to do this his days of office are numbered ; should he satisfy the country on this point, we see no reason to doubt that his tenure of power will contieue on a better title than that of any who at pre.. sent aspire to his position. THE TALLOW TRADE. The position of the tallow trade, viewed in con nexion with the conclusion of a peace, is thus re marked upon by Mcssrs. Smith and Charles : Having now, for more than two years, been compelled to deviate from our wonted course, and refer to politic al questions ; and having, during that period, invariab y advocated such measures as we felt persuaded—and respect of which our kraewlede,e of Russian affairs quali fied us to form an opinion—well calculated to bring the war to a close, you will readily understand the satiefac• tion with which we now congratulate you oa the restora• tion of peace. We can add nothing to what you have already learned from the newspapers on this most happy event. We are not acquainted with the actual terms ere • which peace has been concluded ; nor, if we were, wouldl it be fer us to discuss them here. We, as commercial; . writers, have only to do with the great fact itself, and tee point out to you the probable consequences in connexion with the trade in which yoe a. e concerned We cannot, 11'4 , x -ever, take leave of politics, which we do this da: we trust for ever—without stating our convict on thet, whatever may be the terms of peace ; and, wt. ther Alexander of Russia has, or has not resolved • n a an• dining the aggressive policy of his ancestors, we believe that ageressi t ve action on the part of Russia wits be im possible for years to come ; that, in the meantime, the rulers of that vast and splendid empire will discover it to be—as it unquestionably is —their true interest to deve lope her internal resources, and that, in so doing, gover nors and governed will alike become the subjects of that. influence which commercial prosperity engenders, and with which the war passion cannot co-exist ;—and conse quently that so far as Russia is concerned. the neece of Europe is not likely to be again disturbed during the 1 fetitne of the present generation at least. Nor is this all; in Oie pro , pect of an undisturbed peace of indefinite duration, capital will flow into the Danubian provinces, and the fertile countries on the borders of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff, and agriculturists and mer chants will arise to exchange their raw commodities for our manufactured goods ; and this state of things, while it will tend greatly to enhance the proeperity of Great Britain, will create a race of people whose instincts and interests, opposed to war, will furnish an additional guarantee for the tranquillity of Europe. It will he seen by the foregoing remarks that we look for a large consumption of tallow ; for this, as a matter of course, follows on a state of general prosperity. We belitve moreover that the trade are unprecedentedly hero of stock, and that they have been bolding back front purchasing till peace should be declea exhibit longer,hdi.bit This a totally h and then is attitude theyodif ferentur appearance pe y pl possibly evaerrai ensc"e will, from maintaineh what t they littlehave of late. In expect,the first place, then, there is the us ual quantity required for the wants of the c ommunit y ; then, the excess above the average arising from increased activity in trade, and, finally, there is the quantity usually held by the trade to be gradually made up. As to supplies, we have nothing new to add to what you will find in our circular of the 20th inst., which amounts to this, that they will not exceed the average aggregate quantity. On Saturday our market was steady at 475. ; March and April, at 465. 9d. to 475. ; October and December, 475. 941.

POSTMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.—The report of the Postmaster General for 1855, just issued, states, with regard to the inland service, that 525 port offices have been added, making the total present number 10, 498 . The experiment of pillar letter-boxes has fully succeeded , and the number, especially in London, is to be large l y increased. Measures are in progress for accelerating the first delivery in the metropolis, so that it may ef fected by nine a.m., and also for sec a uring proportiona more of s peedy about ran 1 s : mission of letters between one part of London and t another. For this latter object 10 centre s of distribution are to be established, and hourly deliv eri es will then tak e place. The total number of letters duri ng the past year showing was 456,000,000, showing letters for every individual i n England, 7 in Ireland, and 15 in Scotland. The number of newspapers posted has undergone a diminution of ab out one - fourth since the abolition of the stamp, a nd the lo ss o f revenue f rom th a t source has been about one-half. The transmission of book packets has e xperienced during 1855 the enormous increase of 273 per cent., and the number is now 1,400,000 per a nnum.
