The opening of Parliament is antici pated as the infallible panacea for every grievance and the certain harbinger of every desired boon. One by one these fair hopes are generally dissipated, and the close of August witnesses only a barren harvest as the result of so much political promise. The coming session commences under, in some respects, better auspices than its predecessors. There is less talk—always excepting among one peculiar class, which may appropriately adopt the motto, vox et prcs• erea nihil—there is less talk about what is about to he done, but, at the same time, there is manifestly more practical determination as to what must be done. The public anticipate much actual benefit from the coming labours of their representatives ; they look for something :more attractive than the roost brilliant orations of the most brilliant speakers —something more eloquent than even the caustic p:lilippics of DISRAELI, or the rounded periods of Alecaureey, which a few sessions back cast such occasional splendour over the debates of St. Stephen's. Eloquence is undoubtedly admirable, especially when devoted to its true purpose and noblest employment, the enforcement of truth ; ye*, after all, the most popular specimens of Parliamentary eloquence are the Division Lists which announce some popular boon. This is the kind of eloquence anxiously looked for in tha present; year ; and no marvel ! Since the Feb ruary of 1849 a very potent impulse has been given to the popular yearning for practical reforms. During the two last sessions of the British Parliament conti nental Teurope had been agitated with revolutions The people of this country, meanwhile, happy in their conscious security, felicitated themselves on the admirable acquisition of that Constitution which pre seried the country alike from the misrule of tyrants or the violence of anarchists, and the Parliament was, of course, regarded as a model of legislative wisdom. But the lesson was only half learned. Very soon a disturber of the national tranquillity, as insidious as ASTUTIO and as implacable as HAT :eau, made its appearance. Before the attacks of one disease multitudes fell more plentifully than on the battle-field ; .while, amid the general lamentation, it was universally admitted that grievous sins of omission and commission on the part of the Legislature had prepared _the way for the de vastating progress of the cholera. The blood of the people was, in a great measure, on the heads of their negligent guardians. Hence this session we no longer boast of our amazing national superi ority. humbled by sorrow, we are com pelled to confess that in that point, which is the surest criterion of national wisdom— the protection of the people—we are sorely deficient. Hence it is but natural that, on the re-assembling of our Legislators we should anxiously, yet confidently desire such a system of government as shall prevent a recurrence of past evils_ Also, the paiefal distress of a whole section of the people hcs been recently laid bare, and it is but reasonable that we should look for the real:remedy—for private benevolence can I only effect a passing alleviation —to that distress at the hands legally empowered to promote the greatest good of the greatest number. It is unnecessary to recapitulate the numerous and crying necessities of the people. It is et-lough—ir it should be enough — that those necessities are publicly known. It re mains to be seen if 1850 is to witness the non.-fulfil meat of our just and reasonable expectations. The people have, to a certain extent, th e remedy in their own hands. The mora l force of public o-einion is irresistible where the menaces of an armed faction would be powerless. That moral force must be exerted, that potent " pressure from without" must be app:ied with unanimou s energy in the forthcoming session. Our reforming representa tives require all that support, and the time serving have need of that intimidating "per suasion." Let the people be unanimous and their triumph is inevitable, let them be resolute and their THE SUN, success will be immediate. Therefore, although taught otherwise by experience, we venture to antici pate that the Parliamentary Session of 1850 will realise the popular expectations, for those expecta tions are founded on common sense and com mon justice, and we might almost add in common humanity. The "great national address," as it is magnilo quently termed, of condolence with the Earl of RODEN, has been at last presented to that venerabl e nobleman, with all the state and ceremony befitting so great an occasion ; and we will candidly admit, the tone and temper in which it has teen responded to leaves little to complain of. As political manifestoes, however, both address and reply appear to be totally unimportant ; and we cannot help thinking that the projectors took very great pains to very little purpose. Never did any respectable old lady or gentleman, afflicted with a weakness for autographs, labour more industriously for the acquisition of a signature than did the "sympathisers" to add the name of a discon tented Peer or a neglected parson to the list. They grieved for the punishment inflicted on Lord RODEN, and left no stone unturned, no source untried, to acquire that sad companionship which, it is said, lightens grief. "Solatium miseris socios hab ere doloris." And while we cannot admit that this outburst of sympathy is very flattering to their judgments, we do not feel disposed to think it extravagant in his Lordship to pay his tender-hearted friends the com pliment with which his reply begins, that the testi mony was as " honourable to their feelings as it was gratifying to his own." But the second paragraph utterly extinguishes the political character of the whole drama. His Lordship says, " I cannot but appreciate the generous sympathy (.f those who may differ with me on the policy, or propriety of. certain parts of the course which 1 pursued in reference to the events of the 12th July last, hut who feel satisfied that I acted w.th honesty of purpose." We never attributed any wilful malignity to his Lordship for the very indiscreet part he took in this unfortunate transaction, nor would we now detract from the consolation which be appears to derive from what we cannot look on in any other light than as a tribute to his private worth, for as a justification of his public conduct, o condemnation of the acts of the Govern ment, we - Must regard both the address and reply as total failures. Public functionaries must be judged and dealt with according to their public acts, and not by their honesty of purpose or good intentions. The candid statement made by his Lordship forces us to the conclusion that he is even more guilty in this transaction than we had before imagined ; for he says, when a renewal of the Processions Act was projected in 1849 " I candidly allow that I did state, that at such a time it would have had the appearance of being exclu sively levelled at those who bad so willingly tendered their services in the preceding year to support the Royal authority." Here we have his Lordship using his influence to prevent the re-enactment of the Act against proces sions, which would have saved the country from all the horrors of Dolly's Brae ; and for what sage rea son.? Lest forsooth his " brave and loyal" brother; should take offence. He interferes to prevent the passing of a wholesome and necessary Act, lest the tender sensibilities of the Ulster Orange men should be hurt. Yet, with an inconsistency quite irreconcileable, we find him enunciating that "his convictions had always been opposed to proces sions of all hinds." How his Lordship would attempt to reconcile these inconsistencies we know not, in deed there appears to be on many occasions through " this unpleasant discussion" an unfortunate opposi tion between bis Lordship's acts and words. His Lordship says he will not enter into the details of the collision, and that he "rejoices that the matte: is now in the hands cf the eminent judges who pre. side in the highest criminal court in Ireland." Wt presume he means the prosecution against the Even• ing Post newspaper, the organ of the Irish Govern. ment. We know not what turn his Lordship's re joicing will take . when ho learns that the eminentjudges of the highest criminal tribunal in Ireland indig nantly scouted the application from their Court. We have so frequently gone through every point connected with this unpleasant topic, that we have scarcely a word to add ; but, hE fore we close, we may notice one small matter charged against the Irish Government. It is said that Lord CLARENDON never discovered the illegality of such assemblages as those . _ _ which met in deadly conflict at Dolly's Brae, and tha, be never consulted his legal advisers till afterwards, Tow this appears to us rather a stupid charge. His Excellency could not have been so ignorant of the common law of the land as not to know that thousands of armed ruffians, who had frequently shed each other's blood on former occasions, and who in open day with feelings of deadly hatred to each other parade through the country, are calcu lated to spread dismay and alarm among her MA .I asTl's peaceful subjects, and are ipso facto illegal. it is, therefore, manifest that the opinion of the law officers of the Crown was not obtained for his own information, but rather for the info: mation of thoA4 Ivho, to palliate the omission of a saored duty, affected ignorance of the law. We have now done with this matter, we wish we could say for ever, but we fear will occupy the attention of the L-ghlature, and what turn matters may take there we will not anti- elpate. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals cf yesterday. The Assembly was occupied on Monday in dis cussing the Bill for the dissolution cf the Garde Mobile ; the motion fir the first reading was carried by a majority of 533 to 49. In the course of the debate General CAVAIGNAC proposed that some pro vision should be made for the officers, who would be deprived of their means of support by the disband ment of the corr. This proposition was favourably received, and was ordered to be referred to the Com mittee on the Bill. On Tuesday General CIIANGARNIER reviewed the 20th and 421 regiments of the line. The Itloniteur publishes a decree signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic reducing the pension of the ex-KING JEROME BONAPARTE, as Governor of the Invalides, from 60,000 f. to 40,000 f., in conse quence of his receiving, since his appointment as governor, the pay of a Marshal of France. The Emperor of RUSSIA has, it is said, accredited Count STROGONOFF as Ambassador to Paris. The object of this appointment is to strengthen the reac tionary party, and to endeavour to consolidate Russian and Absolutist influence in France. It is stated that Count MOLE has effected a recon ciliation between the PRESIDENT and some of his opponents. The Courrier Francais says--" We are happy that both have understood the necessity of union in these times of crisis. It is M. MOLF, it is said, who has pointed out to the different heads of the Conservative party the necessity which exists of draw ing towards the PRESIDENT, the latter being, more over, ready to make concessions to the Assembly. Hence the disavowal of the Napokon. It iF, in fact, evident that the two great powers of the State cannot have opposite interests. What the majority wish is, that the authority of the PRESIDENT should consoli date itself, in order that it may labour efficaciously to save society from the dangers with which it is every day more and more threatened. What Prince Louts BONAPARTE desires is, that his efforts, instead of being thwarted by paltry ambitions, should be loyally se conded without any arrare pensee. M. EisILE DE GIRARDIN is to be started as one of the candidates for Paris at the approaching election. The Credit has the following observations on the report of N. TETERS on the Public Assistance Bills : " After having demonstrated that it is a special matter for the human race to have two sexes, and com mence by childhood and end with old age Id. Thi ers establishes not less victoriously, th at if there are pri vate evils which individual benevolence is charged to so there are generation s t o which it is necessaryprovidefar, io arply collective) benevolence, or public assi. tance, as defined in the Constitution of 1848.' The following is ti e [tanner in which the Committee has deciJed fir each of the three phases of human 1:f . For itf.tncy, there is no institution to add to those already in existence. For adolescence, mature, and old age, it had been affirmed, with some appear. ante of reason, that the State could, by establish ments cf credit, place capital within the reach of all the workmen of the towns as of the couutry dis tricts, and by adding subventions to the pension-funds ensure al honourable repose to the o!el age of work men. The committer; has no faith in credit foncier, such as it is proposed to establish it in imitation of Germany; it rejects formally associations which are t) be aided by tho State, aad does not attach much weight to others. It sees nothing beyond savings banks; however it com prehends mutual-aid societies ;it would even tolerate pension-funds, on condition that the Stato would not contribute anything, and that payments are not to be obligatory either for the workmen or the masters. It allows also that something may be done with respect to insalubrioua dwellings; th a t voQuintion might same- times be had recourse to ; and lastly, that the hospices might to made less disagreeable to the poorer classes. That is all. M. Thiers has condensed his views in this way : What is good and incontestable the ancient so ciety had imagined ; what it has left to be done is pre cisely what is doubtful, problematical, and contestable.' Such is the nonentity of a plan which has be on come to by a committee of thirty members, with M. Thiers at its head, and after nine months' close atentior. Besides, ought any one to be astonished at this, when at the commencement of the report is found the following avowal of the primary idea which presided user all the labour of the committee ? The fundamental principle of all scciety is, that each man is charged to provide f r his own wants, and those of his family, from his own re sources, either acquired or transmitted.' Ne, M. Thiers, you have thus defined only the principle of all egotism, that which, at the beginning of the last reign. M. Dupin defined by the expression chucun pour soi, cYzacun chez soi. The fundamental principle of society, on the con trary, is mutual assi:t Ince. In whet limit ought public assistance to be exercised? That is what, by the text of the Const:tution, you were called on to determine, and what you do only by the most incredible and cynical denial of justice." General NIEL, who commanded the Engineers during the siege of Rome, arrived at Toulon on the 24th, together with several of the troops whose period of service expired on the Ist instant. A letter from Marseilles, of the 25th instant, announces the arrival of HORACE VERNET on his return from Rome, where he has been studying the theatre of the last operations of the French army, previous to his preparation of his grand histo rical painting. M. DESLOGES was tried before the Court of As sizes at Paris on Monday, for having attacked Repub lican institutions in a pamphlet, comparing the merits of the white and tricoloured flags. He was found guilty, with extenuating circumstances, and sen tenced to imprisonment for two months, and to pay a fine of 300 f. The French Government received dispatches on Monday relative to the negotiations for the cession of a portion of Lombardy to Piedmont. A joint note from Austria and Prussia has just been addressed to the French Cabinet, calling on the Government to unite with them in obliging Switzer land to expel the revolutionary leaders who are there sheltered. Should France refuse, these Governments are determined on compelling the Swiss Government to accede to their demands, even should an armed in tervention be necessary. The report of the Commission of the Budget on the Paris to Avignon Railway will be presented in a few days. It appears that the delay which has arisen has been caused by a change made in the original direction of the line, the result of which will be to form a junction with the S. Etienne line from Lyons as far as Gisors. The Minister of Public Works is now negotiating with the St. Etienne Railway Company for that purpose. It is positively stated that the negotiations with the Northern Railway Company are almost brought to a conclusion, and that the company, in consideration of.an increase in the term of its concession, will take on itself to construct the line from St. Quentin to Manhenge, an extent of 90 kilometres, and which will form a more direct communication between Paris and Cologne. The Bourse was crowded to excess yesterday, and the Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 50c., with every appear ance of a further rise.

Madrid journals of the 23(1 have been received The discussion on the Bill authori6ing the Minis ters to collect taxes had not been brought to a con elusion. It was rumoured that there was a probability that diplomatic relations with England would be restored, and that Lord HowDEN would be appointed British Ambassador to Madrid. The Bolsa was closed on the 23d. GERMANY. At Berlin the elections for the Parliament of Er furt have resulted in the triumph of what are called the Constitutional Conservatives, that is those who are in favour of the adoption without modification ( f the Constitution of the three Kings. Only a small portion of the electors, however, took part in the vote. In reply to the note of the Federal Commission of Frankfort, the Government of Mecklenburg-Schwe rin has declared that it does not recognise the right of the Federal Commission to interfere in the ques tions pending in that Duchy s as the new Consti• tution was legally and normally voted by all the au thorities. In a recent sitting of the Assembly of the States of Saxe -Weimar, a clause was adopted in the Con stitution, only authorising the GRAND DUKE to ex ercise a veto on Bills of which he may disapprove. The GRAND DUKE would not, it was said, approve of this. A letter from Vienna states that the editors of the Wanderer had received an intimation to adopt a more moderate line of policy, and the publisher had been deprived of the post of printer to the Court. M. GIRARDET, the Court bookbinder, had also been deprived of his post for the part he took in the eveats of 1848. The editor and one of the principal con tributors of the Fiquelmeze, of Pesti), had been ba nished. The Archduke JOHN arrived at Graetz a few days ago. He was received with every demonstration of joy, and the town was illuminated. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Copenhagen journals state that, in order to meet the extraordinary expenses incurred by the State in consequence of the war, the Danish Go vernment has felt itself compelled to raise the import duty on several articles—viz., coals, 50 per cent.; sugar, raw and refined, molasses, and treacle, 25 per cent.; tee, 20 per cent.; tobacco of every kind, raw and manufactured, and cigars, 20 per cent.; timber and deal cf every kind, inclusive of Finland, 20 per cent.; wine, 10 per cent. This alteration of tariff came in force on the let of January, 1850, and is to continue in operation till the 31st of December, 1850. A letter from Keil of the 23d says:—" The confi dential commission (vetrauens manner) yesterday received a letter from the King of DENMARK, in which his MAJESTY expresses his satisfaction at the loyal sentiments of his subjects, and invites that commission to send him their proposals or to bring them to Copenhagen. Their departure is expected to take place shortly. ITALY. The following are the particulars of the liberation of Dr. Acnir.F . ,_ . as communicated t o th e var i ous journals by Sir qULLINO EARDLEY "It has been already stated that Dr. Achilli is set at liberty, and that this intelligence reached Paris by tele graph last Friday. We uneeritind from Dr. Achilli's friends that they are able to prove that the assistance of the French military was fraudulently obtained for his arrest, and that the French Government was f sliely informed that he was imprisoned to murder and et'.er crimes. The inquiries instituted at Vif orb° by his friends forced the accusing power to drop tho mask and to avow that he was seized fir religion alone. A similar local investigation in Rome enabled hi.; friends to prove to France, by the evidence of her own officers, that a detachment of her troops on duty at her Prefec ture of Police at Rome were parties to the seizure, though the Prefect made a return that there was no such entry in his register. The soldiers were dispatched for the purpose without the cognizance of the Pi erect, by word of command of a subordinate. Tho second in com mand of the French police is an Italian gentleman, em ployed formerly in the police of Gregory XVI. The chief of the French army and diplomacy in Rome, Gen. Bare guay d'Hilliers (soon after the 10th of December), applied in person, at Portici, to the Supreme Pontiff for the pri soner's liberation,which was positively refused on no other ground than that the prisoner had done much harm to religion, and would do more, if free.' Owing, how ever, to proceedings, the nature of which is not known, the French Government received in Paris, on December 20th, a telegraphic message from the General that the Roman Government offered the French Government to liberate Dr. Achilli, on condition that the English Go vernment and his friends would insure his leaving Italy. The British Ambassador in Paris, with the kindness which has characterized him throughout, wrote himself, extra-afficially, to Dr. Achilli, engaging him to do se. His friends did the tame. The French Government intimated to the General and Ambassador its con currence in the arrangement. The French Gene ral communicated the reply to the Supreme Pontiff et Portici, and claimed the fulfilment of tie promise. It v as answered that he would take time to consider it, and would arrange the matter on his return to Rome. In the mean time, and subsequently to the arrival of the reply from Paris, the Fiscal of the Icquisition visited Dr. Achilli in prison several times, intimating to him that he was to be put upon his trial, and that he (the Fisca )wasto be his judge. The knowledge of this delay and of the accompanying circumstances reached Paris about the 10th of January. The Government of the Republic took up the matter strongly, and commu nications of an urgent character wore made to Rome. On the 9 5th the French Government was made aware Os has been stated) that Dr. Achilli was already on his way from Rome to Paris." King BOMBA has refused to accede to the earnest request of the POPE, that he would grant an amnesty. In the sitting of the 231 of the Chamber of Dos- LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY an ties of Turin, the discussion on the creation of new rentes to the ateouet of Rev minloes, prop o sed by the Minister of Finance, led to a motion, by Advo cate RATAZZI, that the discussion should be adjourned until the Minister had laid on the table all the documents relating to contracts made with foreign capitals for the sale of the notes created by the laws of September and October last. Sena tor NIGRA, Minister of Finance, in answer to M. Rerazzr, entered at length into explanations on the contracts in question, and on the employment of the funds voted by Parliament. He declared himself ready to produce all the documents relating to the subject, but thought the explanations he had given rendered them superfiuoue The Chamber then re jected the motion, and passed an order of the day declaring that the explanations of the Minister should be token note of, and the examination of the docu ments postponed to a more convenient period. Deputy BROTFERIO then moved, that before autho rising the Cabinet to create four millions more of rentes, the Chamber should require Ministers to fulfil their promise by preparing laws for the execution of the franchises granted by the statute ; to which the Keeper of the Seals and the Minister ( f Public Instruction replied that the Government was con stantly exerting itself to apply the principles of the statute in all the branches of public administration. General D'AVIEBNOZ and Advocate BaorrEnlo then alluded to:some rumours on a projected change in the national colours, upon which the Minister of Agricul ture declared that the banner which had floated on the Mincio and the Adige should ever remain the banner of the nation. Loud applause from all sides greeted this declaration. The Chamber then adjourned the discussion of the Bill to the following day, and separated. The Piedmontese Government has dissolved the Na tional Guard of Nice, excepting the co m pa n y o f ar tillery. It is immediately to be re organised.

Iu France, a steady improvement is still go ing on in trade, and there is a sufficient supply of cash for all legitimate purposes. The problem to be solved, hoe - ever, in that country is whether the Government will require a new loan, and although the semi-official organ of Louis Napoleon has declared that there will be no present need of such, we find it dif ficult to understand how tie deficiency known to exist can be made good, or rather we should say that we feel satisfied it cannot be, without recourse to bor rowing. It is merely a question of time, and, what is more, the reduction of expenditure among our neigh bours will have to be carried much farther in France, unless an augmented and annually accruing deficiency is to bo cre teed. Time will serve to prove whether the Cabinet are equal to the task of gi appling with a difficulty which has baffled previous administrations, and contributed to their fall. The Money Market hero is very fully supplied with cash, and there is less employment for it, in some re speet,, nen there was even a short time back. This is ascribable, in part, to the fact that speculation in many staples has receivz-d a check, which, at least tem porarily, throws money back upon the hands of the capitalist and the t auker. It has been re ported tint Messrs. Barings have loaned a large sum at 2 per cent. on the security of Console, and that the same forms part c f the deposit on the Russian loan. Pert aps the conclusion would be rather too hasty that because of this special. and immediate employment cf the assets at command, no portion cf the lean will be remitted to Russia, but it may bo true that to replace the fund usually and necessarily kept here and at Paris fur the payment of legation expenses, interest on the old bonds, &c., and which has doubtless been reiuc e d f rom the wean of money in Rus!.ia, to carry on the Hun garian war, some or the present loan will be retained here, and posidbly there are payments yet t) be made fir railway materiel, as well as for articles which will be required in the formation of tie propo;el docks at Cron stadt, intended, it is said, t r be upon the model of Wool wich. We are now, however, as must be clearly under stood, giving the current rumours, for we have long since learned to mistrust everything Russian. On the Continent money promises to be easy, per se, if the governments can only keep fona borrowing, but the value of capital in the United States will be regulated mainly, we presume, by the yield of Californian gold. In a recent communication from New York it was stated that " It will be a long time before we shall again have such an easy money market as has existed during the past! ight months. The receipts of gold may continue large, and the banks may extend to their utmost limits, but all classes are becoming so extended in their operations, that the demand for money is likely to in crease full as fast, if not faster, than the supply. The ball has commenced rolling, and as it progresses will gain such an impetus that it will be impossible 'to-stop it. We have no way of arriving at the increase in private credit, but it is our impression that the aggre gate is, at least, double what it was six months ago. The demand for money must, therefore, soon be com paratively large, and the probability is, that the rate of interest will soon be above the legal standard." Whether these anticipations are strictly correct it is far us, at this distant.-, impossible to say.

MESSRS. COBDEN AND BRIGHT AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, JAN. 29.—A great meeting was hell at the Free Trade Hall this evening, upon the questions of financial and Parliamentary reform and Richard C o bd en , Eq., M.P., and John Bright:D.q., M.P., having been announced to take part in the proceedings, great anxiety was manifested by all classes of the public to be present. It was soon found that the 8,000 tickets at first ordered would by no means meet the requirements of the case, and steps were taken to reduce the number of seats in the body of the hall, so as to make standing room for an extra number. The whole number of tickets was then increased to 10,000, including 8,000 far the body of the hall, and 2,000 for tha galleries and platform. Of these, no less than 6,000 were applied for on Monday (the first day of issue), and tc-day the offices in Newall's-buildings have been besieged by vast num bers of disappointed applicants, after the 4,000 tickets forming the balance of the issue had all been disposed of. This being the principal market day many of the merchants and manufacturers from the neighbouring towns, who had come to do business on 'Change, have been tempted to remain in Manchester, to be present at the meeting; and the consequence has beer, that the assemblage was of a much more influential kind even than these meetings usually are. It was understood that on this occasion the Manchester branch of the Freehold Land scheme was to be launched, and this also tended to give additional interest to the meeting. The honourable Members for the West Biding of Yorkshire and of the borough of Manchester were most enthusiasti cally greeted on entering the hall, and for some mo ments after they had taken their beats. Mr. GEORGE IVILSON, chairman of the associatior, presided, and opened the business in a speech that was much applauded. Mr. A.RCHIBILD PRENTICE then stood forward and moved a resolution to the effect that an expression of gratitude was due to the Members for the borough for their past services, and requesting them to support a reduction of the national expenditure to at least the standard of 1835, and to the motion of Mr. flume for triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, a redistribu tion of seats, and household suffrage. Mr. ALEX. HENRY, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was agreed to with much cheering. Mr. COBDEN was then called upon, and presented himself amidst renewed bursts of cheering. lane Hon. Member spoke for an hour and a half, and was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. Mr. BRIGHT, who was also received in the same enthusiastic manner as the Hon. Member for the W i t i addressed the me e ti ng f or n i ne t y proceedings closed at h a lf- past ten o ' clock. mne Thesu te s" idi ng, Tables were then prepared will books upon them, to receive the names of persons desirous cf entering the Freehold Land Society, to qualify as 40.7. free holders.
