These, however, namely, the gaining a large profit, and the sustaining and tempting customers by a reasonable credit given, on unimpeachable, security, were perfectly legitimate objects, which required no concealment, but might be openly avowed. It is true that they created no extravagant claim on English gratitude, but they excited kindly feelings, and induced us to deal more freely and extensively iu consequence of the consideration thus evinced. But there were other grounds that would not bear investigation quite so well, some of which were prompted by the selfish feel ings of the AUTOCRAT to secure for himself a safe retreat in the hour of tribulation—others as a bait to gain a larger prey, a net to secure a greater number of gudgeons—and, more, to give a hold on the borrower, which the lender might use to advance his own nefarious projects, without fearing the - opposition which he might otherwise anticipate from those whom he had succeeded in fettering with golden chains ! These hidden motives have gra dually been brought to light. These objects have been clearly revealed, and exhibited in the best point of view, and we may therefore estimate the pretensions of Nicuous to our gratitude at their actual and bona fide value. . in the London Gazette, will, on or Before the 30th day of Novem ber instant, be deposited for public inspection with the Clerk of the reace for the county of Denbigh, at his office in Ruthin afore.aid, and with the Clerk -of the Peace for the county of Flint, at his office in Mold, in the said county of Flint; and that a copy of so much of the said plans, sections, and books of reference rB , ipectivey, as relates to each parish, in, from, through, or into which the said proposed railway or railways, branch railway or branch railways and works connected therewith respectively, are intended to be made and maintained, an I also a copy of this notice, as publ'shed in the London Gazette, will be deposited for public inspection, on or before the said 30th day of November instant, with the parish clerk of each such parish, at his respective place of abode, and that on or before the 31st day of December, 1853, printed copies of the bill intended to be brought into Parliament in the miming session, upon which the said act is intended to be founded, win be deposited at the Private Bill-office of the House of Commons.

We cannot altogether forget the state of the European Continent at that time. The extraor dinary progress of the democratic principle, or the natural solicitude which every potentate—except THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LAITE, Lessee, Mr. E. T. Sraith. our own constitutional and well-beloved SOVE REIGN—must have felt during the period that may well be described as the monarchical crisis, it was natural that such parties should be desirous of securing a place of refuge in the event of being driven forth from the territories where they had once exercised supreme control. Even NICHOLAS himself might haVe felt that with 4,600,000/. in the English funds, he might have contrived to drag on existence as plain Mr. RomArroFF—and that in the British Patmos he would be safe from the vengeance of the Muscovite Republic, or the Russian limited Monarchy. This was a perfectly natural feeling, and one for which—although purely selfish in its nature—we could scarcely blame him. But next it was used as a bait ! We cannot forget that a Russian loan of 5,500,000/. was shortly • afterwards brought forward. We our selves commented on the fact at the time, that the proposition was introduced at a moment when the borrower, had 4,600,000/...available in England, which the moment the terms of the contemplated advance were regularly concluded might be with drawn from the "United Kingdom, and that thus 10,100,0001. would be at the disposal of NICHOLAS. Had it not been for the advance he would have had but little chance of success. The hook was, however, cleverly concealed, and, ac cording to Stock Exchange parlance, the credit of Russia was firmly established in the English Market. This was the second time in the cata logue, and for this we cannot owe any extra ordinary gratitude to the benevolent AUTOCRAT. The third object has now come to light. The baleful operation of our Monetary Code was well known to the EMPEROR. He saw the effect he could, produce by withdrawing nearly 5,000,0001. in specie at a moment's notice. It would, as he thought, so paralyse onr energies that he could " devour his. Turkey" at leisure, without let or hindrance on our part. .In this he " reckoned without his host." His own exigencies in duced him to withdraw the greater portion of the deposit, from time to time, as he required it, but a comparatively small part remained. This he has now taken at once, but fortunately it can not greatly injure us in consequence of the Aus tralian and Californian discoveries. The mask has been flung aside before we could. be greatly injured ; and the 600,0001. that has been sud denly withdrawn will act as a salutary lesson to warn our capitalists not to enter into foreign loans, and furnish those who may speedily be placed in • a hostile position with weapons to be used against ourselves. We can afford the money, now ex ported, but what would have been the result if we had, a little time since, concluded a Russian or Austrian loan, the proceeds whereof were kept at the disposal of the borrower, and the whole to be drawn at a moment's notice ?

The chief organ of the Government treats with absolute con t e mpt all that real Ref o r mers h ave a l wa y s advocated. 'The great mass of the people are un disguisedly sent to Coventry ; they are not cla mouring through, conventi o ns and delegates for political rights, therefore they d on 't wan t th em ; and w i f they did, they are not fit f or th em , an d we get 'em. Then, the Ballot ! What sane man would now bestow a tho ug ht on GROTE and his ballot-box, or his sealed envelopes ? Silence is the best discussion of such nonsense.

We will not evoke evidence that we hard to ki c k rea l R e f orm t o d ea th . equal constituencies, or anything of thatAard as trying to kind,oh ! its quite unnatural for this coun try. Who but the broad-brims that built Phila delphia would think of representing this country by straight lines, crossing each other at right angles. True, the demand is irresistible for an nihilating the little boroughs which return, virtu ally, county members, but we've a scheme for that affair ; most liberally advocate length ening the county side of the beam, and down will :.0 go the right scale, just as well as when the pocket-borough weights, were in it. Such is the strain of Coalition writers, and . wise are they in their generation. Argument is nothing, to a good bold face. Treat a person or a cause as having no locus standi, and half or more of the bystanders will take it for granted that it is so, • It is not, therefore, altogether surprising that some of the press who do not wish to do so should be imposed on by the trick ; and, though thoroughly liberal journals, that they should deal with old and sound reform propositions as being at present out of question. Able correspondents also, while professing that the three main points of radical reform must be arrived at before we shall have done with Parliamentary Reform, yet pro pound their clever arrangements for getting rid of the country gentlemen's boroughs but to give them members in another form, just as if they had no fulcrum at all whereon to rest the lever of honesty and truth. To us this appears, in great part, a groundless delusion. We have the fulcrum, and it is so close to the mass to be moved, and gives us therefore such power over it, that our adver saries know their chief hope to lie in concealing it from our eyes. In the House of Commons, in the Ministry, and in the Cabinet itself taken together, we have a standing place from which a political Archimedes, if such an one could now be found, might easily move the anti-reforming world. Last June not less than 172 members recorded their vote in favour of the Ballot, under the disadvantage too of knowing that it was not a practical question. A change on the part of about one-fourth of those who voted against it would have obtained a majority in its favour. In the Ministry the Ballot has a phalanx of consistent supporters such as it never had be fore, and in the Cabinet it has gained one for the first time, we believe, since the Reform Bill was passed. Had the opposite party such a hold upon the Government and PErliament, they would well know how to use it in behalf of a cause, even far less popular ; but with one so popular as a complete Reform Bill would be, Mr. BENJAMIN DISRAELI and Lord DERBY would soon be masters of the field. With such watchwords, as " the right of self-government," "taxation only by, our own representatives," " free voting," " equal political rights," and the like, they would soon bring public opinion to bear with irresistible power on the waverers, and convert, effectually, , al i recusants who would rather govern an eman cipated populace than not govern at all.

John Dickenson, aged 31, described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously marrying Jane Wilkins, his wife being alive. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The second wife, a good-looking young woman, stated that the prisoner declared upon his honour that he was a single man when he married her, and she believed him, or she would not have gone to hurch with him. The prisoner made a statement to the court in miti gation of punishment. His first wife had behaved very badly to him. Some time ago she left him, and went to cohabit with a policeman ; but afterwards, at her urgent entreaty, he agreed to take her back again. He did so, but all the return that he got for this generosity were a number of debts which his wife incurred in his name. She then returned to her former paramour, and as she had been living with him in St. John's-wood ever since, he thought he was justified in marrying again. The Court asked the second wife if the prisoner re ceived any money with her, and she replied in the nega tive. The prisoner was sentenced to eight months' imprison ment. LETTERS BY r K ft; G)LD EN AGE, The following letter from The consignees of the Golden Age corrects some of the observations circulated regard ing the refusal of her owners to allow her to take a mail, and also exhibits the nature of the negotiations carried on with the Post-office. " Liverpool, Nov. 26. " Sir,—ln the money article of an evening paper we have observed the following remark t—` It is considered somewhat strange that the owner of the Golden Age should have declined to take letters to Australia at the customary rate allowed by the Post-office, because the immense num ber that would have been sent must have paid them, as it did the Great Britain, far better than the 1,000/. granted to contract vessels. " You probably are aware that the Post• office authorities have heretofore claimed the right to speculate on mails sent by private ships, of whatever nation, paying for the service performed 2d. on each letter, and charging for the same Bd., or a profit of 300 per cent. This demand on the part of the Post-office was resisted by the owners of the Golden Age, but at the same time a tender was made to take the mails for one half the amount of postage charged by the Post-office, f irly concluding that a profit of 100 per cant. was sufficient for the simple receiving and delivering the mails. " This proposition was declined, and an offer made by the Post-office department of 151. per ton measurement for any mails the Golden Age would receive from it, being the amount charged and paid by shippers of ordinary mer chandise by the steamer. This the o,iners, of course, de clined. Yet desirous of accommodating the publio they again tendered the ship for conveyance of the mails for the sum usually paid to sailing vessels for the same service -viz., 1,000/. This the department also declined, and there was no alternative for the owners of the steamer but to decline receiving mails from the Post-office alto gether ; but, at the same time, with a liberality worthy of praise, they offered to receive letters and papers on board the steamer, and convey them free of charge to Australia for any one who would take the trouble to send them to the ship. " The statement as to the large sums received by the Great Britain for carrying letters is altogether erroneous, as the entire amount for letters and newspapers, at the miserably low rate paid by the Post-office department, was only 911. 7s. 6d. Further comment is unnecessary, " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " DEANE, YOULE, and Co., " Consignees of the Steamer Golden Age." LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.

Joyous paeans were forthwith chaunted in favour of the mighty, and, what was more to the purpose, the wealthy potentate who had afforded such timely aid in the hour of dis tress and difficulty, and also of the operation of the self-acting monetary code, which produced a supply when it .*as really needed. We-then ven tured to differ with our bullienist contempdraries on both points. We did not perceive that he was entitled to any extraordinary gratitude for rendering pecuniary resources that would other wise have remained idle and unproductive the sources of a very profitable transaction, by which he was entitled not only to realise some 600,0001. or 700,000/. sterling for his privy purse, but also to maintain a market for the staple produc tions of his empire that would otherwise have been paralysed, if not entirely closed. At the same time, we pointed out the possibility that the AUTOCRAT might have been influenced by other and less legitimate motives, the know ledge whereof would convert the thanks and gratitude claimed for the concession into something approximating to contempt and defiance. The profits to be realised were per ceptible to the most superficial observer. The imperial agents bought in when Consols were about 80. Twenty per cent--sufficient to excite the cupidity of the most greedy money-lender —was clearly to be made of the transaction. Twenty per cent., without risk or danger—without a chance of the debtor pleading minority, or resort ing to the assistance of Bankrupt or Insolvent Commissioners, for the purpose of liquidating the claim --twenty per cent., well secured, would not entitle the usurious lender to any extraordinary gratitude from the needy borrower, whose neces sities compelled him to accede to such extravagant terms.

We hope that honest; Reformers will yet find some OMER PACHA. There is one singular course we have noticed in some of the leading Coalition journals. It is a clever playing fast and loose with two of the fun damental Reform questions. When the Ballot is talked of, they assume that universal, or house- ' hold, or municipal suffrage is never to be granted, and they shake their heads, and, as if they pre sided in a Court of Equity, tell you how unfair it would be to allow one-sixth of the adults to vote fot the other five-sixths without the responsibility of their votes being known to the non-electors ; the ballot might be all very well with universal suffrage—but—that--why, thank HEAVEN, there is no danger of a second Deluge, and they point to the varying hues of the Cabinet (we would not be profane) as ab.w of political promise. On the other hand, when universal suffrage is whispered, we are favoured with diatribes on the venality of poor electors, on their absolute dependence on farmers, landlords, and cotton-lords ; they may be purchased by the hundred for five shillings a piece, or half that sum, and those who cannot be purchased may be coerced. Notice to quit a cottage, or paying off on Saturday night, will effectually cure insubordination. All this is as earnestly pleaded as if any asserter of popular rights ever thought of giving the working man a vote without guaranteeing its freedom by the ballot. These sages choose to separate what Re formers have always joined together, and then reproach the divorced with barrenness. They succeed, no doubt, in 'further confusing many confused minds, and strengthening the fears of some who are timid enough already ; but it ought not to require much perspicacity to see through the juggle, and all experienced Reformers recognise it at once. We do not deny, however, that we would give the whole of any Coalition Reform Bill without the ballot for• the ballot alone. While fully alive . to the immense disadvantage of beginning to work it with a number of small constituencies, like elec toral bad debts, still pressing on us ; while de sirous in preference to have very large constitu encies returning several members, we yet stand by our creed, that Independent Voting is the proper starting point. What, indeed, can any honest legislator mean when he proposes to give an individual a vote ? Not surely to give him one which a creditor,' a landlord, a master, or a customer can filch from him. Against these poli tical thieves the legislator is bound to protect the voter he enfranchises. The man who will part with his birthright for a mess of pottage, it may be impossible in every instance to protect against himself, though secret voting would do it more than all other little Acts of Parliament put toge ther ; but the man from whom his neighbour would take it by force—by the force of a screw on his fears—ought to be protected by the me chanism through which the votes are given. It is suggested that the borough franchise should be extended to the counties. Good theoretically. We recently showed, however, that it would be an immense extension of dependent voting. Give the ballot first, and it would immediately enfran chise more than a hundred thousand CBANDOS clause voters. Give it with the borough franchise to the counties (including all the small' towns and disfranchised nomination boroughs) and we should have a vast extension, indeed, of a real franchise. The Ballot alone would create more independent votes out of the present suffrage than any mea sure without it ; while any extension without the Ballot would be probably, three-fourths of it at least, but a sham. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.) Parliament was this day further prorogued by Royal Commission until Tuesday, the 3d of January nest. To-day, the Lord Chancellor and the other Peers named in the Royal Commission having taken their seats on the woolsack, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the Commons to the bar. The Royal Commission was then read by the Clerk at the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR then declared the Par liament to stand prorogued until the 3d of January next. The proclamation did not contain the significant words, " then to meet for the dispatch of business." COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, Nov. 28. Divine service was performed yesterday morning at Osborne, by the Hon. and Rev. G. Wellesley, before her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alice. Lord de Tabley, Lord in Waiting to the Queen, and Colonel Wylde, Groom in Waiting to Prince Albert, left Southampton this afternoon for Lisbon, with letters of condolence from her Majesty and his Royal Highness to the King Regent of Portugal, on the occasion of the death of the late Queen. Despatches froth the GoVernors of Australia and N,w Zealand were received on Sunday at the Colonial-office. The Judicial Committee of ber Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council sat yesterday in the Council Chamber, for the consideration of petitions in cases from different colonies, and of motions in several patent cases. Th e Lords present were the Lords Justices Turner and Knight Bruce, the Judge of the High Court of Admi ralty, Sir J. Patteson, and Sir E. Ryan. Shakespeare's Hamlet has just been performed, with immense applause, for the first time, at Stockholm. The translation adopted is that of Professor Hagberg. Mr. Joseph Robertson, the present editor of the Edin burgh Courant, has been appointed to an office in the Register House as Searcher of Records for Literary Purposes.— Scotsman. THE BOURBON "Fustorr."—The French Minister of Foreign Affairs has sent a circular to all the representa tives of France in foreign countries, directing a close watch on the proceedings of the Princes of both branches of the House of Bourbon. DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the past week show a decrease. They have consisted altogether of 11 vessels—five to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 1,866 tons; two to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,059 tons ; two to New Zea land, with an aggregate burden of 946 tons ; one to Sydney, of 698 tons ; and one to Hobart Town, of 577 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 5,146 tons. The rates of freight have been supported with steadiness. THE INDIAN QUEEN.—This vessel has arrived from Melbourne, whence she sailed the 28th of August, with 38,990 ounces of gold, valued at about 156,0001. The letters and papers are nearly a week later than those brought by the Argo steamer. THE AMERICAN CLIPPER NIGHTINGALE.—This vessel has arrived from Shanghai with a full cargo of tea and silk, having made the passage in 112 days. QUEEN OF • THE SOUTH.—Advices received from the Cape of Good Hope, via St. Helena, state that the Queen of the. South (s.s.), had put into Saldanha Bay for fuel and water, having been 46 days out. STRAND THEATRE.— -The small but efficient operatic company of Mr. Allcroft, under the direction of the popular favourite, Miss Rebecca Isaacs, deserves every possible encouragement. The vocal and instrumental music is of a very high character, and the executants persons of superior .qualifications. The performances during the week consist of Love in a Village, with the whole of the original music ; The Pet of the Public, which is oue of the most successful new pieces ever pro duced here ; the old but always welcome melodrama of The Miller arid his Men, with all the music, by Sir H. Bishop ; the original operetta The Maid of Normandy, and an operatic drama entitled The Female Massaroni, or the Fair Brigands. We would counsel all who wish to enjoy a good evening's entertainment to look in at the Strand. The house has recently been tastefully re decorated, and everything has been done in the interior arrangements to consult the convenience of the wau dience. ACCIDENT TO THE AUSTRALIAN STEAMER, GOLDEN AGE—Yesterday morning, about 9.30 a.m., he steam ship Golden Age, recently arrived in Liverpool from the United States, left the Huskisson Dock to proceed on her voyage to Australia, having on board about 139 passengers, 10,000 letters and 5,000 newspapers. About half past 10 o'clock, while in charge of a pilot, and when the tide was running down the river with great force, an attempt was made to turn her ahead of a ship lying in the stream, and where, unfortunately, there was not space sufficient for doing so. The Golden Age was thus run stem on to the new sea wall at Seacombe, but, the collision being foreseen, the accident was not so serious as might have been expected. Beyond the starting of the cutwater and the grasure of some of the planks, the vessel sustained no injury, and she was immediately taken to the moorings in the Sloyne, whre she now lies. The detention consequent upon this untoward accident is not expected to occupy above two days at the utmost. Fortunately, none of the passengers or crew sustained any injuries.
