I 11, (t..;Jenin4 ~-,Atti'fo LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1850, Wonderful to relate, the Whig Government has a prospect of appearing before the nation with a finan cial statement adorned by a surplus of about two millions sterling. Simultaneously, however, with this good fortune, comes the movement, the strong an.dainexorable movement, in favour:of a reduction in our expenditure. Harassed by the conflicting advantages and disadvantages of its position, the Cabinet endeavours to relieve itself from the dangers of this dilemma, by thrusting the population between the horns of another yet more perilous to the country, we mean the choice of an arduous and embarrassing alternative. On the very morning of the day when the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to submit his annual budget to the House of Commons a most extraordinary " feeler" is thrown out by the month piece of the Administration. After glorifying and magnifying the surplus secured by the existing system, until any one ignorant of the matter might readily imagine that this said surplus was twenty millions instead of two—it is intimated that now has arrived the opportunity in which it will be expedient to terminate that plan of surrender which has through preceding sessions bit by bit mitigated the amount of the national taxation. Now, quotha ! Now, when the profligate disbursements of the treasures of these Islands of Industry have become more than even unendurable I Now, when the community , is moved to its very heart of hearts by an abhorrence of such continuous prodigality and such interminable extravagance ! Now, when the days of sinecurists and pluralists are numbered, when their doom has been virtually pronounced, not by some oracle of Delphi, or by some Sybil of Cumaa, but by the will of the people and by the voice of their true representatives I Now, when the inevitable diminution of all this monstrously unnecessary ex penditure has already commenced, and when gigantic preparations are making for the removal of everything costly and superfluous in the working of the mils' chinery of the Constitution---it is discovered that of all times, and seasons, and epochs, thi s i s t h e ava il a bl e and appropriate one for the Whigs to withstand any further concessions. "No more surrender !" becomes the cry of the Whig faction, when for nearly the first time in the annals of their Administration they find themselves, somewhat to their own astonishment, in possession of a surplus. "No more surrender !" at the very period when the multitude in tones of thun der is demanding " Retrenchment !" If this be not an iadication of political insanity, then has the wis dom of state smans hip b een hitherto misapprehended . Heretofore it h as b een i mag i ne d that by running di • rectly counter to public opinion, Administrators have been calling dovvn upon their own heads the storms of Opposition, and, in moments of great emergency, even the lightnings of Revolution. Our present tution. Murmurs and complaints were heard on every side,"and the conclusion of the war, in place of being regarded as a subject for joy and mutual congratulations, was looked upon as a cala mity of no ordinary magnitude. We were told by Mr. HARMAN, a Bank director ofgreat acuteness and intelligence, and considerable experience in monetary affairs, that the year " 1816 was a period of very considerable commercial and agricultural distress, which rendered it necessary to relieve the public by an increased issue of bank-notes." The fallen NAPO LEON was generally toasted as the farmers' friend, and the millions, who were:not competent to understand the currency question in its various ramifications, erro neously supposed that it;was the cessation of war that occasioned the palpable evils that were really owing to the wanton contraction of the currency and, the reduced issue of bank notes rulers would seem to be blindly ;actuated by a very different conviction. According to their proposed system it would appear to be altogether apart from their intention to cause their policy to flow current with the wishes or opinions of the population. Hence it is that they have waited until the whole nation, from one extremity to another, has become clamorous for a reduction in the expenditure, in order that then, and not till then, they should make a stand against the encroachments of the Finan cial Reformers. Blindness so perverse, obsti nacy so insane, has, perhaps, never before been witnessed on the part of any British Administration. The project of the Cabinet stands before the world without a parallel. Here, at this particular crisis, when the popular thirst for economizing has become almost insatiable, when the national desire of re trenchment has risen even to a passion, the Whig Cabinet comes blundering forward with its resolve that no further taxes should be surrendered. And upon what plea? Upon the pretence that efforts should at length be made for the liquidation of the National Debt, for the payment of the capital of 800,000,0001.! After this specious attempt to evade the popular demands for retrenchment, we are bold to aver that, in the estimation of the community, the star of the Whigs has become, not merely momentarily eclipsed, but totally and for ever extinguished. The sus picions of so many years have been justi fied ; the dread of so many generations has been confirmed ; the aristocratic predilections, the pretended patriotism, the truckling to authority, the greed of place, and the lust of pension, are all exposed to the recognition of the empire in colours the most glaring, and in characters altogether indelible. We believe that were an appeal now made to the country none of these Whig sticklers for the maintenance of the present scale of expenditure would be returned to Parliament, saving and excepting those who happen to command certain snug pocket-boroughs— the cherished relics of an obsolete and lamented sys tem. From this time henceforth they cannot fail to be regarded as the arch- advocates of the scheme which of all others has militated most against the national happiness. By their proposed refusal of all farther concession they have identified themselves with the principles now the chief objects of public detestation, they have associated themselves with the structure now for some time past doomed to destruction. It will require nothing short of a poli tical miracle to save them from sharing in that detes tation and from becoming involved in that destruc tion, a detestation as implacable as the des struction will be complete. Making no account whatever of the thousands squandered annually upon the bastards of an extinct dynasty ; taking not at all into consideration the moneys expended upon the descendants of illegitimate accessions to the peerage, and upon the diplomatic triflers who have ceased to display their shoebuckles in the courts of foreign potentates—overlooking as mere bonbons, which the people ought to regard themselves as privileged in pelting at the heads of the aristocracy, the annual 10,5981. for the Duke of GRAFTON, 2,9001. for the heirs of the Duke of SCRQMDERG, 2,0501. to this ex- Ambassadors 1,780/. to that ex-Envoy, and so on throughout the whole deplorable catalogue—the Whig Government intimates its determination to resist all further attempts to reduce the amcunt of the national taxation, and to apply the surpluq, whatever it may prove, to the liquidation of the national debt of 776,465,4351! When in heaven's name, and in all sober sadness, did these most conscientious Whigs ever attempt before to reduce this enormous debt by one cent, one sous, or one penny ? The notion never entered into their imaginations until they found; thtme selves driven thus:into an extremity. Now, however, the demand of reduction in the expenditure becomes importunate—and they suddenly discover that the National Debt must be liquidated. So ! The principles, the policy, and the patriotism of the Whigs are at length transparent. The mask has fallen from the Cabinet, and the scales from the eyes of the community, The Government, consequently, cannot remain very long doubtful as to what they may expect from the people, now that the people know exactly what they have to expect from the Government. Publique abstained from supporting the list of the Elec toral Union. There are certain times when abstaining from action is defection." The Republican party have shown moderation in victory ; they will not give General CHANGARNIER the slightest pretext for attempting measures of coer cion. The National has declared, in the name of the great and united Republican party, that whosoever attempts any violation of the public peace is a traitor to the Republic, and the Republicans have rigidly observed the law to its very letter. The Debats consoles itself with the reflection that the result of the Paris elections will not affect the majority in the Chamber, and the Constitutionnel pre , serves a moody silence. The National says.:— " Such trials of universal suffrage clearly demonstrate the superiority of Republican France over all other forms of Government, and the fecundity and grandeur of our principles. No more pretext now for insurrection or vio lence, when the popular will has thus the means of express ing itself. We are bound also to declare that the people has known I!,w to show itself worthy of that sovereignty which was restored to it in February; it has compre• bended that it could not better consecrate it than by ex ercising it with dignity and calmness. Such as it has shown itself in the struggle, such, we are convinced, it will ' show itself after the victory. It merited its triumph too well to be astonished at it, and it will render it more significant by its moderation. It will content itself with having rendered the most signal service to the principle and cause of progress, and with having proved that in France all is impossible except the Republic." At that period, the bucolics were grumbling as loudly as at present. On every side were heard curses both " loud and deep." The agricultural in terest was involved in ruin owing to the diminished prices of produce, and the farmers, who had entered into improvident bargains in a de- predated currency, saw nothing but ruin before them. Tne territorial aristocracy, however, had the game in their own hands. They possessed powers which have long since been taken from them. Rotten boroughs flourished in rank luxuriance, and a Gatton or Old Sarum had as much weight in the The Presse says : " To the majority which triumphs, to the majority which has proved us to be in the right, we confine our selves to repeatingthes• words of one of our previous articles—' Moderation in success.' To triumph with out intoxication, is to triumph twice over—materially and morally." General CORBIN, commanding the first brigade of the garrison of i'aris, has just been placed en dia.. ponibilite. He has been replaced by General CAN.. ROBERT. This latter officer, who has but recently attained the rank of general, distinguished himself in the affair of Zaatcha. General GErIEAU, in obedience to the injunctions of the parti pretre, has forbidden the thirty-fifth re presentation of the Juif Errant, at Lyon, after having suffered it to be performed thirty four times without interruption. We suppose the " Etres bien pensans," will shortly insist on the prohibition of the Tartuffe. The llioniteur publishes the names of the members of a committee, appointed by the Minister of Com merce, to organize the dispositions necessary in the interests of French manufacturers and others who intend to take part in the great London exposition of 1861. A letter from Havre states that M. PERIER- DE LA PELLETRIE, a distinguished member of the Legiti matist party, has been arrested in that city by a su perior officer of the Paris police establishment. Several important documents were seized in his Legislature as the West Riding, or Lancashire, or even the county of Middlesex, which then contained populous districts that have since been erected into separate constituencies, as metropolitan boroughs, while Manchester and Birmingham were wholly unrepresented. But this was not all. No person was qualified for a seat in the Legislature who was not in possession of real estate. The " landocracy" were, in fact, omnipotent, and could rule the nation as they pleased, could construct or pull down Ministers — so influential a body must necessarily be conciliated at any sacrifice. Truth and justice was as nothing in the scale. Measures were there fore immediately adopted to satisfy the com munity in general, and the agriculturists in particular. The general body was restored to good humour by an' increased issue of notes, the country banks followed the example afforded by the Bank of England, and everything went " merry as a marriage bell." Something more was neceseary, how ever, to appease the discontent of the sturdy yeomen. A land-tax was imposed, that enhanced the price of food to the war level. The infamous corn-laws were en acted, and the people generally were taxed for the exclusive benefit of the privileged few. The " worth less rags," as inconvertible bank-notes were termed, gave " plenty to the labourer, profit to the trader, productiveness to the revenue, and strength and security to the State." The latter end of JBl7 and the entire of 1818 were yeArs of great and general prosperity, but unfortunately the currency theorists would not permit the people to enjoy that prosperity long. The agriculturists had been purchased by the corn -laws ; the bargain was, as Sir JAMES GRIIIAM declared the other night, "an impro vident one," but still it was a " bargain," and carried into full execution. As " Lord FERNIX' might say, they thought that " they were regularly bought, and they found themselves regularly sold." The fatal Act of 1819 was passed, notwithstanding the unanimous protest of the directors of the Bank of England, and the strenuous opposition of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of Lon don. The warnings of experience were, however, disregarded—the currency quacks triumphed. Mr. RICARDO gravely assured Parliament that " the alteration in value would only amount to four or five per cent., which did not appear very formidable to him," and the bribed agri culturists carried the change. The prosperity of 1818 proved indeed to be but fleeting and evanescent. The calamities of 1816, were renewed with increased intensity. The manufacturing popu lation were the first sufferers, but the distress speedily spread to owners and occupiers of land. They found that they bad indeed sold their birthright for a mess of pottage, and even that poor compensa tion has been most justly and properly taken away ; and as Mr. DRUMMOND truly stated, ," they find themselves exactly in the place where they were in 1819." What, then, remains for the agriculturists ? How are they to obtain a restoration of their former prosperity, and to hope for its per manence and stability ? Manifestly in one mode, and one only, by a return to the former system of currency, and by the total repeal cf the Acts of 1619 and 1844. In these struggles they will not be arrayed against their countrymen—they will not be seeking to gain a selfish object ; they will struggle for a real " protection to British industry" of every description, and they will have the good wishes of he community in general, and their cordial and Friendly co-operation, in place of their decided hos fity and antagonism. house. - M. DUPIN, President of the Assembly, was yester day afternoon summoned to the Elysee to advise with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the state of tffairs. It was believed in well-informed quarters that so soon as the result of the Paris election was known the PRESIDENT of the Rqublic had almost decided on resigning, but that he was persuaded from doing so by General CHANGARNIER• PARIS BOURSE, MARCH 14. —Closing Prices :—Five per Cents, Itentes, 92k. 10e. ; Three per Cents., ditto, 57f. 15e.; Back of France, 2,277 f. 50c.

It appears that Count AlinAsoL is to embark at Cadiz, in the Blasco de Garay war-Steamer, and that the E4peranzi and Cortes frigates, and Pizarro and Colon steamers, are also to proceed without delay to ! reinforce the squadron destined for the service and defence of the Spanish West Indies.

The Government of Hanover has protested against the competency of the arbitratic tribunal, and of the restricted federal state. LIATNAU has caused an unfortunate litterateur named lIAcLK to be hanged at Arad. The Catholic bishop of Groswardein was sentenced to a similar purishmenf, which has been commuted to twenty years' imprisonment. Mr. DEummorcp, in the course of his able speech on Tues , .lay evening, fully confirmed the statement that had been rreviouily made by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, that the unjtut and impolitic Act for the restoration of cash payments wo..s the result of an iniquitous and fraudulent compound between the landocraey and the moneyocracy, by which the con- tracting parties endeavoured to impose enormous burdens on the community in general, to double the weight of taxation for their own private when tage. The Honourable Gentleman said, " The landed interest got into difficulties, the cur- rency measure of 1819 sealed the difficulty, and they then got the corn-law as an equivalent for that measure." This is the true explanation of the origin of those iniquitions laws, which involved the nation in the deepest distress and materially increased the pressure of the national obligations during a period of profound peace and tranquillity. During the war there was a currency adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country. There was ample employment at fair and remunerating wages for every man able and willing to work. The taxa tion was enormous, every device was resorted to in order to bring additional revenue to the Ex chequer, but the nation was able to sustain it, and to make ample provision for every necessary demand. Within the last three years of the war there was no less than 610,000,000/. sterling ob tained from the British people, partly by way - of loan and partly by way of taxes. All might, however, have been obtained by taxation, for if persons had the money to lend out of their annual accumulations, they also had it to give, if the exigencies of the nation required it. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following is the complete state of the poll for Paris : Carnot Vidal De Flotte Foy La Hitte Bonjean The above statement gives a considerable increased majority to M. CARROT. The election of the whole of the Democratic can didates for Paris has produced a profound sensation at the Elysee, and would, it was rumoured, lead to a change in the Ministry ; indeed, it was confidently stated on Wednesday, that the whole of the Ministry had resigned, a statement which is at least prema ture, although it is not improbable that some mo difications in the Ministry may take place t indeed, it was confidently stated last night, and the state ment was not contradicted, that General DE LA HITTB had retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The following appeared in the evening journals of Wednesday : " A Council of Ministers was held this morning at the Elysee, at which the President of the Republic pre sided. The Prefect of the Police and General Changer nier were present. " General Changarnier, and M.M. Thiers, Mole, Pis catory, Do Broglie, Montalembert, and the principal members of the majority, met in one of the committee rooms of the Assembly during the sitting of yesterday, to confer on the present state of affairs. " Special letters of convocation were last evening ad dressed to all the Members composing the new Parlia mentary club of the Rue Richelieu." The Presse states that M. CARLIER has been dismissed from the Prefecture of Police. CARLIER was an old employe of the Orleanist faction, and was brought up in the corrupt school of M. TEBTE. He is at present the man of all work of General CLIANGARNIER. The PRESIDENT of the Republic visited the Place de is Bastille on Wednesday afternoon in an open car riage, accompanied by the Minister-at-War and two orderly officers. He was attended by the usual escort of cuirassiers. He was everywhere well received. The Debate gives the following as the positive rep• sults of the elections in the departments from which returns have been received : A very few years since we heard a great deal of the utter impossibility of the nation finding the means of meeting 20,000,000/. or 30,000,009/. per annum for the ereetionlof the greatest monuments of public industry ever constructed in any age, or by any race, the magnificent chain of railways by which our island is intersected. This money was all expended a home, the best description of capital was created, and the expenditure of one year enabled the people to provide, in part at least, for the subsequent outlay. Yet Nye are told by the great organ of the bullionists that 10,000,000/. per annum (including the national expenditure and the interest of the debt) was suffi cient to paralyze the energies of no less than 28,000,000 of people, and to bring on a commercial crisis of unparalleled intensity, bringing mercantile houses of the first class, which it had taken ages to rear up, to the verge of ruin and bankruptcy ; while in 1813, 14, and 15, at the close of a most sanguinary and expensive war, carried on without intermission for more than twenty successive years, the inhabitants of the British islands, then consisting of only 18,000,000 of souls, were en abled to contribute no less than 170,000,0001. ster ling per annum to maintain the glory of England, by being squandered away in foreign wars. "Look on this picture, a n d on that," and say which naone. tary.system was the wisest, and tended most to the national prosperity. Unfortunately, this state of affairs were not suf fered to continue. The currency quacks were active in their vocation, and the betrayed people were easily led astray and deceived by their specious sophisms. Scarcely had hostilities been terminated before the Bank directors were warned to set their house in order, and to prepare for the restoration of cash pay.. ments, to be ready to meet liabilities contracted when gold was worth Si. 2s. per ounce, in an appreciated currency, when gold should be delivered at 3/. 17A. loid. per ounce, and w hen that gold would constitute the only legal tender for sums ex ceeding forty shillings in amount, in place of a mixed , currency (f gold and silver being available • for that purpose, as was formerly the case. The evil, consequences, the fatal results of this most impolitic measure, were but too plainly discern ible. The Bank, after the warning it had received, had no alteinative. It was necessarily obliged to contract its issues, and at the same time to use every exertion to bring gold into the country. As the gold came in prosperity de parted : the people who were before happy and con tented, working hard, but well paid, were reduced to a condition of poverty and comparative desti- Wheat. Barley.

The Pattie says— " A small number of Legitimists—we know not whe ther we do not offend the true Legitimist party by giving t'at name to some revolutionary Whites—have voted for the Red list, and diverted a great number of electors from taking part in the ballot. That is a political con duct which the Legitimist party itself ought to do justice on. We are certain that the consetenea and the good faith of the true beads of that party have already judged that.defeetion more severely than we ourselves could do.

The market was quiet at pre vious rates. Tho sales comprised 3,500 American at 5d to Bd, 300 Pernam and Maranham at 64d to 6d, 600 Bahia at 610 to 6d, 100 Egyptian at 7d to 81d, and 600 Surat at 4/c1 to 44d per lb.—ln Railway Shares very little was done without material alteration in prices. The Colonial produce markets have continued inactive throughout the week, and prices generally have been in favour of sellers. The news from Paris is more favourably thought of to-day, and the gain of a few moderate votes is counted for something. Some idea of the apprehension excited may be gathered from the fact of a great many foreign families having left for Brussels. The Amsterdam Bourse, on Wednesday, was quiet, and rather heavy.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, has been on the increase; the total quantity being nearly 3,000 quarters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage , the receipts are small, but of full average quality. To-day, the show of samples of both red and white was trifling; still, how ever, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, arising chiefly from the large quantities of French Flour offer ing, was exceedingly heavy, and Monday's prices vi ere not supported. Upwards of 6,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this week. Fine qualities were mostly held at full rates of currency, but the middling and inferior kinds were Is. per quarter lower to pur chase. The supply of both English and foreign Barley was on the increase. Grinding, distilling, and making parcels were all somewhat cheaper. Malt came freely to hand. The transactions were wholly in retail, at about stationary prices. Oats, Beans, Year, Indian Corn, and Flour bad a downward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Oats. Malt. Flour. Qrs.

Shortly after ten o'clock this morning, an accident 0, a most fel:alai character occurred near the terminus of the North-Western Railway, Euston-square,,to Joseph Gill, one of the postillions belonging to the carriage of the Duchess of Cambridge, as ho was driving his royal ceittress to the station to be conveyed in an express train to Frogmore. It apps ars that at the above time, the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by two ladies in waiting, left Cam bridge-house, Piccadilly, in a carriage drawn by four horses, and proceeded to the North-Western Railway terminus, for the purpose of being conveyed by the quarter-past ten o'clock express train to Frogmore. On the carriage turning the corner of Whittlebury -street, the near bide-wheel horse slipped, and fell on its off bide, throwing the unfortunate postillion Gill, upon the ground. The animal, in endeavouring to rise, fell upon him, and struck the other horse, on the off side. This horse commenced kicking and plunging. Gill received several severe kicks about the head and body, and, eventually, before the horse could be held by the head, he slipped, and fell upon the unfortunate postillion, and both horses then commenced kicking at each other. Before Gill could be released her Royal Highness and her ladies in waiting wore assisted out of the carriage and conducted to the Lamb Hotel. After considerable difficulty Gill was extricated from under the horses, and was found to be in a state of in sensibility, and bleeding most profusely from several severe wounds he had received. He was instantly re moved to the house of Mr. Oliver, the landlord of the Drummond Arms, where Mr. Caharn, a surgeon, and several surgeons from the University College Hospital, soon attended. They found that his right leg was most extensively fractured, and his body covered with contusions and bruises, and in addition to which he had been most severely injured in the abdomen. The usual remedies were immediately applied, and he soon &ter wards recovered from the st .te of insensibility. His sufferings are most acute, and he remains at the public house in a very precarious condition. The Duchess gave strict injunctions that every possible attention should he paid the unfortunate man, and shortly after wards left the hotel, attended by the railway officials, and proce, ded to the station to start for Frogmore. Her Royal Highness loukei 'excessively pale, and seemed greatly agitated and alarmed. - - FINE ARTS.

The Lords present wero Lord Brougham, Lord Langdale, the Judge cf the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. Their Lord:hips were occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in Rawson 's petition in the case of Noble's patent, in which it was sought to ex tend a patent " for certain improvements in combing wool and other fibrous substances, " granted originally to Mr. James Noble. The patent was, however, eventually assigned to Messrs. Rawson and Denisthorpe, of Brad ford, and those gentlemen had entered into an agreement to assign the invention to Mr. Samuel Cunliffe Lister, of Manningham, Yorkshire. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat again to-day in his court, the Old Hall, Lincoln's•lnn, but we regret to say his Lord ship did not appear much improved in health. Hi s Lordship, after disposing of the unopposed lunatic pe titions in his paper, proceeded with the further argu ments on the part-heard appeal of Tomlinson v.

FOREMAN V. BARTLE TUE YOUNGER. This was a summons taken out on a judgment ob tained in one of the superior courts. The defendant said that he had passed the Insolvt at Court since the judg ment, and had obtained protection. The debt was in serted in the schedule. His HONOUR, after some consideration, said he could not make an order, for the protection was against all pro cess. personal or otherwise. The plaintiff's attorney urged that it had been held in other courts, that protection in insolvency was no pro tection t.gainst process in county courts.
