-Lae comedy of Not so bad as we Seem, •r many Sides a Character, by Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Bart., may be said not to have been fairly launched before the public until Saturday night last. It will be recollected that it was first produced before her Majesty at Devonshire Rouse, by a company of amateurs, the majority of whom were celebrities in the literary and artistic world. On that, and on the subsequent occasions when these gen tlemen gave their performances, the opinion expressed of the piece was generally favourable, but there were re asons for d ou b t i ng whether the decision pronounced by these limited audiences was any test whereby to judge Whether its fame on the English stage would be epheme ul or enduri ng . Th e comedy was originally written to augment the funds of a charitable project—the Guild of Literature and Art—and it was impossible not to feel' a e s eine delicacy in c r iti c i s i ng a wor k w hi c h owe d it s ex tence to such praiseworthy intentions, while it w as against one's grain to find fault, even had one been so disposed, with the laudable histrionic efforts of such universal favourites as Charles Dickens, beuglas Jetrold, Forster, and Mark Lemon. On Satur day night at the Haymarket, however, the audience were under no such restraint ; the comedy was placed before them, as any similar production would be, without any extr aneous help to bring it up, to soften its defects, or neighten its excellencies ; and, moreover, the various h araeters were undertaken by experienced professionals, W T; of course must expect, if they do not altogether like " 44 free exercise of judgment which English theatre goers so delight to revel in. It is with pleasure, there fore,tgo that we h ave to announce t h at t h e come dy p asse d bar on -, the trying ordeal of the Haymarket tribunal With a degr ee of success which sterling, undeniable merit co uld alone secure, and which redounded with honour alike to the author and the actors. Throughout the per formance not a breath of disapprobation was raised, Iv.hile th e applause was frequent and hearty, and the ver ;;l!ct return e d a t t h e conclus i on was un d en i a bly favours,- l e.

As Hardman, Mr. 0 1.1 7, Sullivan was no bad representation of the ardent, r u - viOrking, clever statesman, except that he exhibited to ,bis_ movements a laboured strutt, which could only be tr ee. ated in one o f our t rans p on ti ne or pro v i nc i a l th ea - Mr. H owe , a s David Fallen, the po or au th or , of Gru b - street, leas manly and straightforward, and the B t l e ,tchy chara c t er o f the proud Honou ra bl e J o h n , Duke fliddlesex, was sustained with much imposing pomp, , a sly sense of humour, by Mr. Stuart. All the ladle are mere nonentities, a peculiarity to be ascribed the fact that the work was written for an amateur b i s Pany, for in such companies the ladies are generally . 4- I,Yed by en gage d "p ro f ess i ona l s ," who occupy a sub ih-`-quate position. Buckstone and Keeley kept the house a continual roar whenever they appeared on the age. Th e i r d r unken encou n t ers w ith the watch inimitably droll, especially when Buckstone was L el evated on the shoulders of the old Charlies, and, fancy ing he was on the hustings, began to address his friend as the electors of London, for having returned him as re presentative of so great a city. The comedy has been got up with care and effect. The r epresentative of Will's Coffee-house, with the newsmen rushing in with the Flying Post or the Messenger, and shouting " News, news ! Great news ?" was well ma baged, and both characteristic and suggestive. After the fall of the curtain, first the actors and then th e author were called for. Mr. Webster upon this stood forward, and announced that Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton was too ill to be in the theatre, adding that if anything could give a sick man pleasure it would be the reception which the comedy had met with. The fact We believe to be that the hon. baronet has met with a rather severe accident to his arm. The house was a crowded one. MR. MITCHELL'S FRENCH PLAYS.-ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. On Saturday night, Une Pievre Brulante was played at this theatre, f or th e fi rst t i me s i nce 1848. It had then a long run, a aesult to be attributed, as was, we think, its success on Saturday, mainly to the clever acting of Ravel, rather than to any internal excellence either of Plot or dialogue. Richard Tremblay, the principal char acter, is a young man passionately fond of the ladies, Yet withal afflicted with an unusual timidity, which, in t heir presence, not only deprives him of all speech, but erns his admiration into temporary hatred to the sex. -".e is, moreover—if we may coin the word—a miso - Diallist, and the very sound of a piano excites him to 81101 a pitch, that he gives vent to howls . just like those of a m a d dog. In t h e same house with him lodge an old R ussian di p l oma t e , hi s wife, and his sister-in-law, with the latter of whom Richard is desperately in love, :Ithou gh, by some mistake, he has been led to believe 'oat she is the Russian's wife. This, however, in France, ems to b e a ma tt er o f n o consequence, and Richard is -(4 discouraged on that account. His frequent watchings ree at t he windo w h ave attracted the attention of three tea, also fellow-lodgers, who conclude thence that a,.°of themselves is the object of his him in discover who is the happy one, they visit m hi s ,yattrnents disguised as students, and three handsome ichard r"lag fellow s they make.

CORN EXCHANGE. - - - The 'le ,ading country markets held on Saturday 'were) modera tc ly well supplied with home-grown wheats, in which re, ther more business was transacted, at full q u ota tions. I .'ino malting barley, the supplies of which - were limited, : moved off steadily, at extreme currencies, whilst the value , of grinding and distilling sorts was well :sup ported. In the prices of malt no change took place. Beans, p eas, and flour were very dull. Most o f the continental markets continued inactive for all arti Idles of grain, in the prices of which very little change ihas been reported. The last advices fropi. New York state that only a limited business was doing in grain and floc u • on English account. The it rivals of home-grown produce up to our ma rket last we elk were moderate. From abroad we received 2,067 qttarters of wheat, 1,620 barley, 12,285 oats., 317 b e ans, ISur peas, 200 linseed, 117 sundry seeds, and 1,357 sacks of ' The o Lnantity of wheat received fresh up to this in orn ing's m a rket, coastwise, from Essex, Bent, Lincolnshire, wa s very moderate, but in improved condition. From the Eas t coast the supply was limited. By land carriage the rec ei pts of both red and white samples were un im poi :Ant ; hence the quantity on offer was small. Notwith s'Andin g that the attendance of both town and country millers :c vas by no means numerous, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce i sled steady, and a clear ance webs effected at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday - last. The amount of business doing for forward delivery was comparatively trifling, yet growers in gen.oral were ve,r y firm in their demands. The ipply of fresh foreign wheat was limited • but we had ag N supply of granaried samples. Good andmedium parcels moved off steadily, at full currencies ; but damp qualitie c commanded very little attention at la:,e rates. In flc :sting cargoes, comparatively few transactions took place. Prices, however, were supported, as the arrivals of late ha - vex been small. Fine writing barley was very scarce, and quite as dear as on Al :o nday last. Grinding and distilling sorts were in fair reo tu est, at full prices. MALv.—The supply of which was tolerably good, moved off stem lily. In the quota.:;!Ams, no change took place. The s upplies of home grown and foreign oats being sea sonably axtensive, the demand for that description of pro duce wa a somewhat inactive, at late figures.

Fresh. up from oiir own grazing districts the arrivals of . beasts this morning were moderately exte isive, as to num ber, and in fair average condition. Owing to the large number of buyers in attendance, and the favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled some what brisk, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday- last of 2d per 8 lbs., and a clearance was readily effected- The primest lots were worth 4s. 2d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ,we received 1,700 Scots, short-horns, &c. From other parts of Enghuid 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from Scotland 700 horned and polled Scots. The nun abers of sheep were again very limited ; neverthe less, the .demand for that description of stock was in a sluggish state, at the late improvement in value. The primest old Downs were worth ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. The few shorn sheep on offer sold at id. per 8 lbs. beneath those in the wool. Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade, arising from the cold weather, ruled very inactive at Friday's decline in prices. The top figure was 4s. 6d. per 8 lbs.

The Moniteur of yesterday morning contains the following important and authoritative announce ment, completely disowning M. Billot's " Lettres Franques.' We easily recognise in this " note" the epigrammatic power and terseness which have characterised so many manifestoes of the Emperor : " Factions cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that France and Europe have escaped from their hands. Peace lies heavy on them. Despair ing of obtaining anything from the sympathies of the people, abused for a short time, their only hope lies in the return of disorder. To arouse it they avail themselves of every means ; now, sanguinary provocations ; now, anonymous calumnies writings which, under the pretext of awakening the generous instincts of the country, serve only to mislead them, and thus to maintain distrust and agitation. " Such is the purpose of a new brochure, entitled Lettres Franques,' published by a writer of the Legitimist party. It would no more merit the at tention of the Government than it does that of the public, were it not that silence might be falsely interpreted. " The author addresses himself, without ado, to the Emperor of the French. He decides with in credible seg-sufficiency, on the highest diplomatic questions, and on the destinies of Europe. " After having assumed for the title of his brochure the memorable words of the speech at Bordeaux L'Empire c'est la paix,' the author em ploys himself wholly in urging France to war, in pointing out established treaties as the fitting ob jects of her resentment, and in endeavouring to rouse our old hatred of England. " The tactics of those who inspire such publica tions are not difficult to perceive. They have pro mised themselves that the Government of the Emperor would be placed in the painful alternative of either shocking national feeling, by combatting these writings, or of giving them, by its silence, a kind of tacit approbation, which would be for Eu rope a permanent cause of uneasiness and distrust ; so vexing is it to vanquished factions to see peace and general prosperity re-established without them and in spite of them ! " The snare is too gross for the country and the Government to allow themselves to be caught by it. The Emperor, like France, wishes earnestly for peace ( veu t l apa i x ), a frvigill and honourable peace, tie only one which is suited to the nation; and it certainly is not from the old parties that the heir of Napoleon the Great will ask counsel in any matter of honour or of national dignity. "Nothing can be wore strange than that such provocations should proceed from those who call themselves Legitimists. Do these waiters, then, believe that France has forgotten her recent his tory, and do they not know how easy it would be to overwhelm them with its facts ? But the Go vernment has the interest and the glory of the country too much at heart, it is too anxious to put an end to our old divisions, to allow itself to be betrayed into recriminations, however just, and to recal pitiable reminiscences." The neu museum at the Louvre, containing many curious and valuable relics of the Kings of France, was opened to the public yesterday. The Siede is republishing, with official approval, Mr. Cobdeu's letters on the peace question. The Athens journals report a terrible massacre of Christians at Salonica. The people of Rheims are actively engaged in petitioning the Emperor to, go to that ancient city to be crowned. The Empress has contributed I,ooof. towards the erection of a church in Coutmerle (dep. Correze). The Abbe de Veze, first vicar of the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, Paris, has been appointed Master of Ceremonies at the Imperial Chapel of the Tuileries. The Abbe Denie preached a setzaon in English yesterday at the church of St. Rosh. A decree, dated the 9th inst., abolishes from the Ist of March next, the Fourth Chamber ofFinance, established Jan. 15, 1852. M. Rolly, counsellor of the Imperial Court of Metz, has been appointed President of the Court of First Instance at Charleville ; and a number of other changes and promotio in the higher ranks of the magistracy are recorded. The Constitutionnel mentions a report that the Ministry of the Interior, Agriculture, and Com merce is about to undergo a new organisation. It will, it is said, be divided into three distinct branches, under the general control of the Minis ter. The political direction, comprising the per sonnel, will be confided to M. Cho vreau, the Secre tary-General of the Mixister ; departmental admi nistration, the Beaux Arts, the charitable establish ments, &c., will be under the direction of M. Fr emy, Councillor of State, and M. Heurtier will romain at the head of the direction of commerce and agriculture. A Council of Ministers was held on Saturday at the Tuileries, under the presidency of the Emperor, when the measure was read and approved of. At the ceremony of the opening of the legislative corps to-day, the senators, deputies and councillors of state a re t o be called on to take the oath of allegiance. The Gazette de France has received a first aver tissement, for saying that the papers of M. de Rothschild had been ransacked by the police. A performance extraordinary is to take place at the grand Opera on Tuesday, to which the Emperor and Empress are to go in state. None will be ad mitted who are not invited. The political arrest of journalists still engage much attention in Paris. The Legitimists have all, with one single excep tion, been set at liberty for want of proof of any kind ; and the foreign journalists are still kept in prison, while an investigation is going on which it is hoped may lead to the discovery of some offence. In fact, the whole proceeding partakes largely of a practice which nearly produced revolution in En gland in former times, and which has been abolished as utterly incompatible with the liberty of the sub ject, namely, general warrants. The only difference is that the practice is carried into execution in Prance at the present day more arbitrarily than it was in England in the worst of times, and that, moreover, the people of France have not a Habeas Corpus Act to protect them. Here the authorities first arrest, and then hunt out an offence of which to accuse the prisoner. It is said that so little was discovered in the course of the investigation before the juge d'instruction on Saturday, that it is sup p osed that the whole of the prisoners, with one P,4ingle exception will be set at liberty. The Emir Abd-el-Kade r arr i ve d a t B roussa on the 17th ult., and was joined the following day by his family and those of his two former Kalifs. All appeared enchanted with their new residence. The Governor of Broussa received them with the greatest distinction. By his orders, one of the principal per sonages of the city, Si-Mokhtar-Bey, met Abd-el- Kader at Guemelek, the port of Broussa, with his own horses, his finest saddle, and his carriage. An escort' of cavalry also awaited him there, and the greatest number of the officers of the Pasha's house hold came out to compliment him, and joined his escort on the Guemelek road. The Sultan as signed as a residence to the 'Emir one of the finest houses of Broussa, which was lined with carpets and divans at his own expense. The French Go vernment supplied him with all the other articles Of furniture he wanted, and Abd-el-Kader and his family are now most comfortably installed. The families of the two Kalifs are lodged in adjoining houses. THE INSURRECTION AT MILAN. The Paris Moniteur of Saturday announced "The Government has received by telegraphic dispatch news from Milan of the 10th. Order was entirely re-established there." This brief announcement leaves us only the duty of gathering up the circumstances of the outbreak as they are to be found in the Swiss and Italian journals.

Yesterday, about six p.m., some officers and soldiers were attacked. The au thorities immediately took the requisite measures ; strong patrols scoured the town in every direction ; some individuals armed with long stilettos were arrested ; they will be tried by martial law, during the state of siege. At the usual time for frequent ing the , theatres, tranquillity was sufficently re stored to allo w of their being opened to the public. We have to deplore the death of several persons, both civil and military ; others have been wounded. It' has been attempted to seduce people of the lower classes by money and excitement of every kind, but the good sense of the population rejected these provocations, and not only did the people remain quiet, but they openly condemned this foolish attempt as an impious act of madness. The Government is strong, and will cause order and public security to be respected by all such vigorous measures as circumstances may require.

At 8 p.m. order was restored, and has not since been disturbed. Twenty-eight individuals have been arrested with arms in their hands. Everything indicates that this attempt to revolt has be( 311 fomented by the revolutionary party in foreign countries,, in order to frighten peaceable citizens, and, above all, - to prevent their enjoying the pleasures of the carnival- Prooeed ings have been commenced against the guilty." The Opinione of Turin, in giving the particulars of the outbreak already known to our read ers, states that, on the sth, Count Gyulay had intrusted the command of Milan to Count Strassold o, and left Milan for a short time. It adds, that h: id he been there himself, he would , have taken much severer measures than his deputy has. On Sunday morn ing, unknown persons were seen distribu: ting money among the lower classes, but that none' but a few drunkards and abandoned characters accepted, and that it is to them the murders committed are to be attributed. The respectable portion of the inhabi tants not only took no part in the movement, but actually expressed 'its aversion for the rioters in the most unequivocal manner. St. With regard to the aff a i r o f Ri m i n i , the Par 10 mento of Turin, of the 9th, states that the T.nunici- St. polity of that town, seeing that they were punished St. en masse for the act of a few vagabonds who had St.. thrown mud at the escut c h eon of the Austrian St. Consul, immediately sent a d eputat i on to General St. Nobili at Bologna, the comm an d er -i n - c hi ef of the Austrian troops of Romagna, to complain to him St. of the exorbitant contribution of 30,000 piastres 12 laid upon the town by the Austrian colonel in the 1 5( 6 ) 3 command of the troops that h a d come from Forli. s t : The result of this step has been satisfactory G eneral Nobili having reduced the contribution to Vi 2,000 piastres only, to be paid by the trim t o 4-: ile 50 above-mentioned troops. 20 MONTENEGRO. 10 St. On the 29th tilt s (says the Tri- St. positions Ister Zeitung) the 20 were attacked by the tribe• . ~ , 10 of Selim Bey at ~ 11. .dzu• ani the Turks were obliged to , re ' ti ;i _ in the south, theme Czernizza and St. came nu e reinforcements ' 56 came up, which enable -a' them to regain tlieir lost footing. The P°P'alation of the small dis • f district o 25 Pi era appear to nave submitted to Omer Pacha their se. on condition t: nat they should retain arms and 8i pay n 0 taxes. This was acceded to, but the St. TurirdSll commander had no sooner signed the St. agraement than twenty-five (a telegraphic notice s °, says thi r t y ) of the leading men of the district were / 1 - 0 6 seized as hostages, and sent off in chains to Scutari, St. to be shipped for Constantinople. This act of 6 perfidy became known throughout Montenegro at av 25 f , the sal time with th e news f rom Vienna, so " ourable to their cause ;so that great excitement 20 prey ailed, and a general call to arms was responded st. to 'oy the infuriated tribes. Omer Pacha has . been 15 r Jbliged to discharge some 3,000 (the telegraph says 50 5,000) of his levies, raised from Albania and St. Bosnia, and consisting partially of Rayahs, on l i g account of insubordination, but th e i r places are filled up by regula r in f an t r y d raw n f rom Rumelia, 8 8 so that the number of his army remains pretty 20 much the same. 20 By the latest dates we learn that hostilities of e the worst kind ha ve b ro k en ou t, an d are still going on ; that a Turkish army of 40,000 or 50,000 men surrounds Montenegro (Prince Danilo, is said by the correspondent of Ll o yd t o have 15,000 fighting men under his command) ; and that Austria is con centrating a whole corps d'armee almost within gunshot of the belligerents, having previously dispatched a special envoy to Constantinople for a definite answer to a peremptory message, which is to settle the question of peace or war—are facts which nobody can gainsay. The prisoners of Gra hovo with their Wojvod, a re p u t i n c h a i ns b y the Turks (according to the Dalmatian Observer). The son of the Wojvod, on hearing of his father's fate, is reported to have stabbed himself with his yatagan, preferring death to Turkish captivity. An English war steamer is cruising in the Adriatic, off the mouth of the Bojana river, to watch the progress of the operations. A French steamer, the Chaptal, stationed in the Pyraaus, was about start ing of the same errand. In English agent came to Scutari on the 22d ult., on a second mission to the Pacha. He was despatched-thither (say the - accounts) by the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, imme diately after the arrival at Corfu of the English consul for Albania, who had been absent in England. The Albanian coast is blockaded, we are in formed, by a Turkish brig and a corvette ; while two war steamers, with the admiral, Aclunet Pacha, on board, are in as haven of Antivari. According to the best authorities, the Porte has already expended 32,000,000 piastres in the expe dition against Montenegro. GERMANY. A telegraphic dispatch of the 12th inst., from Vienna, states that General Csorich had on that day tendered his resignation, which was accepted by the Emperor. General Bamberg was charged with the military administration, and it was thought that the portfolio of the War Department would be suppressed. _ The - -Russian Minister of War has, it appears, drawn up a plan for the augmentation of the army, which has met with the King's approbation. The projected increase will amount to the addition of an infantry brigade to each of the nine corps d'armee, which brigades, if they be of the same average strength as the four brigades now composing a corps d' armee, will amount to 6,000 men, or a total for the nine corps of upwards of 50,000 men.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND BRUTAL VlOl3lllOll AT Irswicii.—A highway robbery was committed on Wed nesday night, under most atrocious circumstances. About half-past eight, Mr. Thomas Charlton, a Primi tive Methodist preacher, residing in Rope-lane, was on his road home fro m W as hb rook. When , between the residence of Mr. Harmer and the railway bridge, on the road leading to Crane-hall Hill, he met two men, and on passing bade them "Good night." Mr. Charlton, however, had not proceeded ten yards further, ere he met a third man, who, without Raying a word, flourished a powerful bludgeon, and striking Mr. Charlton two blows, one upon the head and the other behind the ear, knocked him down. Th e other two fellows upon this immediately came up, and whilst Mr. Charlton was lying stunned and bleeding from th e e ff ec t s o f th e v i o l ence , he was kneeled up on and robb e d o f a s il ver w atch, two half-crowns, ,an d a purse. It appears that during the whole ofetran actions not a word was spoken by the highway men.istsvila E ated to Express. recovering s f O ro n m F t r h id e a inju l‘ ri lr es C he ha r r e l c t e o i n wved.a—sp 20 I 35 30 I a 20 I 20 1 ai 1 a 1i 2 14 3i 44 5 14 14 et 311 I 15 5a i 2 2i .§ i 6i x d 55 4 SPIRIT OF TER PUBLIC JO URN (From the Times.) , In the absence of more promising-entertainment, Si r Charles Wood is ,to, be asked this evening by M r. Disraeli whether he did really and indeed make the re. marks on Napoleon 111. and the press, that appear in his speech to .the electors at Halifax ; arid,ln order t o carry out the plan of simultaneous operations recom mended by Lord Derby, the . Marquis of Clanricarde is to ask a question on the same subject in thelords. Sir Charles will probably admit the substantiallruth of the report, and it will then devolve on Mr. Disraeli-to take . the further steps for the sake of which the, qu6stion is asked. If the object, is simply to make a speech, even that object will not be attained by a question, and some further notice will have to be given. As it might be in full sight of these consequences that the inquiry has been made,.it is to be presumed that Mr. , Disraeli thinks ciSuetestionTihne' n tb o o ble Lordo is a grave off ence has been committed against Ministerial decorum, th e comity of nations, or the safety of the ta marquis in w the habitwho has asked fsp the e oic i n s a m g e often enough, out of office to make for his gene ral up taciturnity when in, so he will probably be content with a speech. But Mr. Disraeli has no taciturnity to re deem. He must do something more than rate at Sir Charles, and contrast his rude tongue with the more courtly phrase in which the late Foreign Secretary an nounced his friend's ass umpt i on of empire, Unless he balks the just expectation of the public, the session is likely to improve very fast on its prosaic beginning. What, then, is the offence which has excited the in dignation or the terror of two men so ' - different and hitherto so wholly unconnected as the Marquis of Clan ricarde and Mr. Disraeli ? Is it that Sir Charles Wood has said that which is not true ? Why, does anybody doubt its truth ? Napoleon 111. himself, so far from denying, would exult in the statement that Le has gagged the French press effectually, and that,hot a lin e can be published in France but by his leave.; If th e word "gag," is not exactly true, because it' implies ab solute stoppage, and the press-is not absolutely stopped in France, then take the, mfitaphor of the -truncock., The Emperor has at least secured a hold on the tap, and lets the press run, or stops the supply, at his pleasure. Only last week, after Sir Charles had made the speech in question, NapoleOn 111. gave a fresh proof of its truth, by executing a razzia on the Parisian correspon dents of the whole continental press; and at this moment a score or two most respectable journals in various Euro pean nations can obtain no intelligence from Paris except what is supplied by the Parisian press itself. As little :doubt can be felt, we should think, as to the state of the Imperial mind towards the press of this country. If ,English newspapers are not altogether pifihibited in France, and their correspondents banished the soil, it is not from any favour to them, but simply because it is well known that we shall obtain information one way or another, and that it is better for the E mperor that the way should be open and acknowledged:' Between an Emperor and a free press such as ours any truce is better than downright war. No übiquity and ingenuity of the police, no secret department of the post-office, can stop the supply of information from Paris to London: - The current of news is as deep and as silent as the pulsation s of the submarine wire. But, if there is a species of truce, there is no preten ce o f l ove — no good understand ing between the head of the French despotism and the organs of British liberty. Sir Charles Wood, then, never said a more t rue , we m i g h t add a more admitted thing, than when he told' his constituents of Halifax that Napoleon 111. hated the English: press because he could not gag it. How could it be otherwise, when he had gagged all the press_ ghat he could possibly lay his hands upon, and could notigag _ours ? (- But the truth is not to be spoken at all time, it will be said, or by all people, or to all people. Here we must reply that England and France do their politics and express their sentiments towards one another in very different ways ; and that if France expresses its policy towards England by a frequent allusion to Waterloo, by nearly half a million of men under arms, by reviews, on one pretence or another, of a hundred thousand men at a time at Paris, by keeping th a t num ber of men always ready t o march at a moment's notice, by building large fleets of vessels, which are mail-packets on the stocks but war-steamers as soon as they touch the water, and, finally, by suppressing all discussion of English questions in France, so far as to "warn" a jour nal that dared to speak civilly of the Duke of Wellington, - -if France expresses its feelings this way, then we also have our way of expressing our feelings and car rying out our p o li cy. T hat way i s to "gag " no press, to tie no man's tongue. This freedom of speech, which is an institution of the country, every Englishman claims for himself and concedes to his neighbour. - We do not forget the man or the neighbour in the Minister ; and if Sir Charles Wood, in a meeting of his constituents, addressing himself to ^people whom, as he said, he had known from his youth, and could refer to in the most familiar terms, chose to speak as he felt about Napoleon 111. and the press, he was only using a liberty in which we all recognise our chief security for our freedom and independence. One man, indeed, will express himself differently from another, and act alto gether differently. The Chief of the Cabinet might not have said anywhere What Sir Charles said to his consti tuents ; but in England we are accustomed to take one course ourselves, as being more suitable to our nature, and to permit a wholly different course to our neigh bours or colleagues, whose position, after all, may not be so very different from ours. We deny, however, to no public functionary the privileges of a citizen. De barred, as we are, by our constitutional maxims and our national character, from many means of political influ. ence and operation—from coups de etat, from conspiras cies, from vast armed demonstrations, from extravagant shows, from profuse largesses, from annual appeals to universal suffrage, and from the unscrupulous subser viency of official subordinates—deprived of these means, we take refuge in the simple course of expressing our opinions with the utmost freedom, and expecting the like from our neighbours. This is our chief arm of de fence, and the basis of that mighty power —public opi nion—more formidable than twenty armies, and a better protection than twenty citadels and twenty miles of cur tain, bastion, ditch, and glacis. U n i on, as the French are ever telling the world, is force. Our union is that of sentiment, and can only be obtained by a freedom of expression, which, so long as it regards truth, does not spare institutions, nations, or potentates, be they ever so far or ever so near. (From the Morning Herald.) The independent portion of the public is everywhere asking, and in a grave and stern spirit, What have we gained by the substitution of the present occupants of Downing -street for their predecessors ? And why was it made ? Two questions these, which the good sense of the country will answer, we predict, and more peremp torily every day, by saying we have gained nothing, but lost a powerful and practical Government, displaced by faction at the very moment when they were doing the business of the country in all its departments in such an effective manner as had silenced all complainants. They did instead of talked ; and those who out-did them in talking can now do nothing, but either tread in their foot steps, or vainly try to satisfy expectations which they stimulated only to disappoint. No thinking reader of their versatile organ, the Times, of even only on Friday and Saturday last, can fail to see that it is at its wits' end to disguise its mortification, and its apprehension of the contemptuous and indignant spirit with which the country is likely to regard this loud-vaunting, do-little Ministry. With a very sorry peculiarity it strives to twist even the ugliest signs of its patrons' weakness into evidence of their strength—through the weakness of their predecessors. But this trifling will not do. thisT r s e e m ee e n n d do e u d s i ti w en as e f t h A e u flo t u h r e is r h a o le f n t t r s u w m a p e e n ts eh w e i r t e h d w in hi b c y h the Times.

Open went his mouth, and it remains open,. honest John fancying all the while that nothing hair gone into it ; but his friends telling him that there has, and they have gone away under that pretended belief to enjoy their own comfortable dinners ? " Lord Aber deen," quoth the Times of Saturday, " has made no speech. The other Ministers have answered some questions shortly enough." We have heard of one who " died and made no sign ;" but here we have a Govern. ment which "lives and makes no sign." The Times - would fain resolve it all into apathy—the "weariness overtaking excitement at last"—and says, "we have entered on a period of collapse." That is not the solution of the pre sent ominous quietude of parties, as none know better than the Times and its -patrons ; and both are quaking at that silence. " A dullness so marked," it says, "may admit of various in terpretations. It may be the calm before a storm." It may, indeed, be : yet no hostile in dication has come from the friends of Lord Derby, whose resolute and dignified attitude of watchful fairness is the source of undisguisable anxiety to his eager and unscru pulous opponents, as they begin to see the flimsy threads gweitthherwohviling ytwheair patchwork cov er i ng is a ttached to even already. Ireland and Manches ter are already their " difficulties," and they will prove insuperable ; for Lord Aberdeen, to conciliate both for the moment, has promised each what will alienate from him even those on whom he had placed his greatest re liance. But for adopting some of the measures of their predecessors they would have nothing to lay before the country. It yeas a blighting French criticism, "There is e much that is new and that is good in this boolc s , tn author's mouth watered, " but that whicnhewinewthe is not good, and that which is good is n with the present Government—what is _go from f r their prede pro- cessors is not new, being derive: author's face fell.

It stated that the sworn balance sheets of the collectors for the year showed the loss on account of bankruptcy and absconded, 1,452/. 4s. ; excused, by reason of poverty, 1,3491.45. lid. —making a total loss of 2,801/. Bs. 11d. Of this amount returned as lost, it appeared, on investigation, that no less a sum than 1,0091. 2s. 2Ad. was written off by the col lectors without the knowleage of the board. 12A 12i St. 25 10 106 10 20 20 33i 10 20 :05i i 9a 11i II
