We are, sir, your obedient servants, Moutsorf and Co. February, 1853. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of JAMES MORISON, the HY GEIST, with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hy geian System of Medicine, and he " Vegetable Universal Medicines," after 35 years of inexpressible suffering under the Medical Faculty : J Yi ES MORISON, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770 The family has been long known as one of great affluence and re spectability, and the subject of this brief sketch was the second brother of John Morison, late member for Banffshire. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Henan, in Germany, ibeing intended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subse quently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill health, he was ob liged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking from change of clime a restoration to health, It is now 25 years age, that, by his discovery and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraord•nary cure. We cannot do better than describe the following interesting par ticnlars, given by himself in the " Morisoniana " A 35 years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, should have died as another man, and been forg,tton, and the world could have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' health and old age are within the reach of us all.'

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. ---...0...--.- THE MINISTERIAL MEASURES. (Front the Times.) The Government measures are no longer a matter of speculation. " You see your dinner," as the master of the house says at a family gathering, equally anxious to invite attention to the viands on the table and to warn against rash expectations. The public will not be disappointed, and certainly will not be astonished at the programme. What can be expected from Ministers who dropped from the Christmas-tree ' and who are barely half-way through their first official quarter ? But, lest it should 'be thought that while we defend we depreci ate, we will say at once that we are perfectly satis fied with the bill of fare before us, even though it does not come up to German dimensions. All experi ence proves the dishonesty of promising much, for much cannot be done in one session. If the measures enumerated by Lord John Russell last night are tolerably well digested, and really pass into law, they will constitute an important mass of legisla tion. Taking them in the order in which they are described, and in which they are to be introduced, Lord John Russell announces a bill to enable the Canadian Legislature to deal with the clergy re serves, a pilotage bill, to be accompanied with ex planations on various other matters respecting the shipping interest, a bill for the removal of the Jewish disabilities, a measure, or a "proposal," as Lord John calls it, " which will tend to great improvements, and promote the cause of education throughout the country ;" a proposition" with respect to the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge and the recent commissions of inquiry, an educational measure affecting Scotland, a " pro posal" with respect to the system of secondary punishments, in order to supply the place of trans- 1 portation to the Australian colonies, which her Majesty's Ministers have determined to stop forth- with ; a Landlord and Tenant Bill for Ireland, of a nature to settle that much agitated question—, and nothing more this session. Immediately on the opening of the session of 1854, Lord John hopes to introduce a measure of Parliamentary Reform, which, however, he cannot undertake to • say will be much more comprehensive than that of last year ; and he also trusts he may then be able to put the income tax on a more satisfactory and permanent footing. Such we believe to be the substance of Lord John's statement last night. Here and there the hint of a measure may have escaped our attention, or our pen, but we have at least given the chief heads of the work cut out for the session. Some of these measures are of sufficient mag nitude to distinguish a session that did nothing else of a progressive or remedial character. To provide a good substitute for penal colonies, to devise a plan that would secure the means of education for all without trenching upon reli gious liberty or truth, to make the Universities really open and national institutions, and to give Irish tenants a tithe of what they expect without abolishing the interest of the landlord, are works severally enough for one year—not to say one Administration. To be candid, we do not expect to see it all done by next August. None of these things are done in a hurry. We have to consider not merely whether Parliament will have time to exhaust half a dozen important subjects in as many months, but whether it will be able to do so in addition to all the other subjects which will be forced on its at tention by hostile or independent legislators. Ireland will come infor a good deal. The Financi al Parli amentary Reformers will have their say out. There are ne arl y two hundred new mem bers who will have to prove the w isdom of their and electors, by speaking on some subject or other. The agricultural interest will not be wholly silent. Cardinal Wiseman and May nooth have alread y been mentioned. The Crystal Palace is to be opened this summer either on Sunday or not. Sir Benjamin Hall and the Marquis of Bland ford are already at work on Church property and episcopal incomes. The Ecclesiastical Courts are really to have something done with them as soon as a pending inquiry is concluded. Such are a few of the seeds of prospective legislation dropped on the waters last night in the space of one brief hour, for the house was up at ten minutes past ' 6. We had almost forgotten that there are a hundred and thirty election petitions, some of them involving nice questions, and all of them likely to bring out the fact of considerable bribery and corruption. With all this before us, are we wise or not to b e sa ti s fi e d w ith th e mo d era t e con tentswe of kn t o h w e kMowiniisdtieeriaitl is s ro to gramme offer inde pendent members. Wh a t d oes a a n dvi member care for but hi s h o bb y , on whiche independente he t o rides. ar And what i ofthes he when n house, wheneverot on hobby itis humour ? nand ur in odo so Equally useless is it to reason with the Opposition. It of an Opposition, b e f o re all things, is the ings,to c bu ea s s ine et s o s be the Opposition by changing places with. the other side. For them to facilitate public business is to bow their necks to the feet of the enemy. So, at least, they imagine. Never theless, we cannot but urge on all 'sides the very great public benefit of letting other subjects alone for this session, and confining discussion to the topics of the Ministerial programme, Next session is not quite so uncertain an epoch as " to-morrow," for to-morrow depends not only'on the will, but even on the life of the procrastinator, while, if the world endures, next session will certainly arrive. Then put off to next session, on the faith of the Ministerial undertaking, the whole subject of Par liamentary Reform. Give it a rest for one year. There is much virtue in rotation of crops, whether in farming or in politics, and even a fallow is not wholly thrown away. Let the ballot become a novelty. Say nothing about 10/. county voters, and we shall be glad to be reminded of them next year. It is possible to surfeit even of Irish griev ances, and perhaps we may acquire a new taste for them by a short abstinence. Messrs. Cobden and Bright have stolen a march on the session by a whole fortnight of publicity. Will not that con tent them for the present ? There is nothing in the measures announced by Government last night which need excite hostility or sus picion. Then, for one year, at least, let magna nimity and patriotism prevail, and let us have a truce to faction. Next session parties may resume their warfare with all the more grace for their tempoiary self-denial: Last year at this time we (urged " fair play" , for. the Protectionist Cabi net, when it was in the powerA i t Le Liberals to terminate its reign at I very -$ - Thi s year we ask fair play, not for the Administration which is safe enough for the present, and does not want such an appeal, but for its measures, which it is possible for faction or folly to retard, and even to drown, in the hubbub of .desultory debate. All that we ask is, that no subject be propounded ex cept with a view to present effect, and that no measures be pressed on the attention of the Legis lature of which there is not a conceivable chance that they can be passed this session. • (From the Morning Herald.) Things have come to a pretty pass. They are, however, exactly in the position in which we anti cipated they would be when Lord Derby's Govern ment resigned in December last. The shabby, unprincipled, and motley group by which the late Administration was ousted, at a period, when, for Imperial interests, its ability was most influential and useful, made manifest their past purposes and their pre sent intenti on s at the re-opening of the Legislative Chambers yesterday. Their past pur poses (an unprincipled coalition destined to any course of action) were undeniably rendered clear by the fact that there was no common ground on which the group were consentient, save two—the first, a coalition to defeat and deprive of the offices which they had never sought—a British— a patrio tic Government ; the second a betrayal of those principles which Great Britain has marked espe cially to be her own—her Protestant Christianity. To turn out by any means the Government of Lord Derby, and to un-Christianise the Parliament of Britain, are the only disclosures in reference to the past and the present which were condescended by Ministers in both houses last night. At an early period a measure is to be introduced to remove Jewish disabilities 1 Lord Derby, in a speech which well became him, invoked, in the House of Lords, a friendly conces sion from the Premier--a statement of the intended measures of the Government--professing that which every man who knows Lord Derby is aware was enounced with a thorough feeling of sincerity, his anxiety to support and to forward every scheme of policy which 'he should deem to be correct—dis daining faction—proclaiming himself the sincere friend of progress in its legitimate sense, and de claring his desire to promote any honest and well matured measures of the Administration, if there were any. What was the response to this ? We quote our Parliamentary reporter. After the statement of the late Premier, and the becoming reply of the present First Lord of the Treasury, which will be found in another column, thus stands our report : " The Earl of Derby.—l always understood that col leagues in one house were ready to answer for col leagues in the other • and I am here Oa the nbbWord in the other house would not take the step of announcing measures without the consent of the noble earl. I shall limit 'myself, however, to ask what are the measures which the noble earl intends to submit to this house in the present session ? "There was no answer. "The Earl of Derby.—Am I to understand that si lence means none. (Laughter). With the sanction of my measures ,, friendare einte o n n he de t dto cr b o e ss la bn i e db ch ef e o s r , I eth ag e a h m ask what ouse? n T o l b le le Earl of Aberdeen made a remark across the table which was altogether inaudible in the gallery. " The house then adjourned at a few minutes after half past six o'clock." Thus, then, we are driven to the House of Com mons for a solution of that which appeared to be so riddled as to be inextricably enigmatical in the Upper House,- wherein the Premier (if there) usually holds the privilege of answering all ques tions in reference to the purposes of his Adminis tration. What, then, was the tone of the leader of the Lower House ? We desire our readers to dwell upon the statement (detailed in our report) of the noble lord the member for London. What has the nation gained by the coalition ? A promised system of finance, the principles of which are yet undecided upon The happy family is still (and will remain so) at tooth and nail as to the princi ples and details of its financial project. One great bone of contention—the income tax—is still so ut terly unpicked, that no jackal of the motley group can know when his master (who is he ?) may throw it to him comparatively clean ; and thus parlia mentary reform, the boon promised to be given to democracy, is thrown over for another session, or to the Greek kalends, as the case may be. Will the nation stand this ? Will England show so great a swallow as to take down, as the only alkali to the possible acid to be propounded by the present Nonconformist, Popish, Puseyite, pro-democratic Government—the soother of all that is un-English —the Jew Bill of the noble lord the member for London. Up Britain ! Up Protestantism ! ! The time has arrived when there should be no mistake. Equi vocal professions or positive silence is not the part of the Premier of ourfree nation amongst his peers. His colleague in the House of Commons is unequi vocal in his declarations. In the Lords, the only measures propounded or hailed w ith satisfaction are y l t n he the Comm ons th e great Chancellor income tax, th e t oo h fn o lty s h e e mp ealateacse u d Ar uponedns pipromised m is t r tab :etdi o l n e a .r b e a n principle of which is yet a bone of contention in the Cabinet, and a bill to un-Christianise our Parlia ment. Great Britain and a large portion of Ireland will kno w how to instruct their representatives. their party (From the Morning Chronicle.) the If the Ministers, looking solely t o interests, had the power of prescribing th e the ex statement of which their opponents should adopt, they would policy certainly desire Lord Derby to maintainno ill-treat ment. -treat- Aberdeen pug nacious attitude which he so gratuitously. and im prudently assumed last night.

Yet it was necessary some ground for complaint ; and the. leader of the time for theevery Opposition attempted to base a grievanc e silence of the Minister in the House of Lords the order in which the business . was to be laid be fore the other branch of the Legislature. Instric o t f form, the Upper House can take no cogni sance any measure which is not actually before. it, nor is y f , .wfOhir. which h Purpose of it possible for any Government to assign a the transmission of bills from the . one assembly to the other. Lord Aberdeen . was, in fact, asked to commit commun aicatetcinlmgicianfl information peer who might entertain any curiosity on the subject would be in possession before . he . went .to dinner. Frivolous assaults, conducted in this spirit, will at irregularity, the same time consolidate the party which sup ports the Government, and render the c onstruction of a serious Opposition impossible. . Lord John Russell's calm and business -like state ment of the measures to be brought forward b y the Government will have satisfied all m o d erate men as to the expediency of postponing the subject of Parliamentary Reform. The Canada Clergy Reserves Bill must . be settled immediately ; . th e abolition of the Jewish disabilities will, no doubt, excite considerable discussion . ; and . the e x t ens i on of education , . the pressing question .. of secondary punishments in . lieu of transportation, and, above all, the financial scheme for the year, will amply occupy the time and attention of Parliament. The Bills for improving the administration of the law are judiciously entrusted to the Lord Chancellor, who will bring them forward in the House of Lords ; but it is easy to see that the interval of six weeks before Easter will scarcely suffice, after the estimates are passed, to launch the various measures which the Government has undertaken to carry. Mr. Spooner has already come forward to impede the progress of public business by giving notice of motion for a Maynooth Committee—in Words, for a debate on the merits of the Roman Catholic faith. If, under these circumstance; the House had been invited to plunge at once into a debate on the re-adjustment of the representation, it would have been necessary to postpone almost all the Ministerial Bills to a future session. The proposal for appointino. - Commissioners to collect information on the subject of the franchise has— perhaps wisely—been rejected by the Government ; and Lord John Russell undertakes to bring for ward, at the commencement of 1854, a measure of which he prudently intimates neither the extent nor the details. He is not pledged to make it either more comprehensive than his former scheme, or, on the other hand, more restrictive. It is, indeed, not impossible that it may be based on very different principles ; but, whatever may be the ultimate result of the Ministerial councils, it would evidently be unwise to divulge the secret prematurely. It is determined that no further increase shall be made at present either in the army, the navy, or the ordnance. This announcement will be re ceived by the country with divided feelings - . but there is good reason to anticipate, from the feelings; ability now collected in the Cabinet, a more efficient application of the resources already provided for the public defence. The termination of the Kafir war will, it may be hoped, shortly release a considerable number of seasoned troops, who may be available for service at home ; and the policy of conceding self-government to the more important of our colonies will probably diminish the drain on our military resources. If the Go vernment are able to secure the country both from invasion and from panic, without any further ad ditions to the public burdens, even Peace agitators will admit that the policy of Engllnd is not yet wholly directed by the voice of the legions. In the meanwhile, another class of politicians will re member, with satisfaction, that Lord Palmerston is intrusted with the control of the militia, that Sir James Graham is at the Admiralty, and Mr. Sidney Herbert at the War-office. It was probably in deference to the Committees now sitting on the affairs of India that Lord John Russell omitted to mention a question incompa rably more important than any other which awaits the decision of Parliament. It must not be as sumed that the preparation of the new Charter will be postponed until next session. It is well that time should be allowed for arousing the public interest respecting a topic too generally neglected by politicians ; but it could scarcely be hoped that, during the conflict which will probably arise on the measure for Parliamentary Reform, both Houses could find leisure to deliberate calmly on the future institutions of our Eastern Empire. The statement that -the Ministers have deter mined to deal both with the question of education, from the parish school to the University, and with the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, proves that they are not disposed to shrink from labour or responsibility. It is obviously impossible to an nounce with accuracy their future measures on these subjects, and it is undesirable to publish con jectures which can be only partially correct. It speaks well, however, for the permanence of the Government, that its members have already made up their minds on subjects so replete with difficulty. The obstacles to the establishment of a system of registration, and to the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts, are of a different nature. There is no dis pute about the existing evils attending defective titles to land, and cumbrous tribunals for adminis tering testamentary justice. Experience shows the difficulties which impede any practical measure of reform, but no controverted principle is at stake. In matters of this kind, energy and determination are needed ; but still higher qualities are required in any statesman who would deal successfully with the plausible theories and the honest prejudices which embarrass every project for national educa tion. If the Opposition consults either the public good or its own party interest, no vexatious resistance will be offered to the bulk of the Ministerial pro posals. The arguments against the claims of the Jews are known by rote, and may in the p resen t session be advantageou s ly condensed. The May nooth debate will afford a sufficient vent for any theological bitterness which may stand urgently in need of expression. It may be hoped that, on the Canadian question at least, those who may differ from the policy of the Government will deal with the subject as statesmen, remembering that other interests are at stake besides those of a provincial religious establishment. The first debate of the session will illustrate the temper of the house, and will go far to determine the public judgment on the comparative wisdom and patriotism of con tending parties. (From the Morning Post.) Seldom, perhaps, have a new Government settled into office so smoothly and so quietly. Never has a political coalition come into power under circum stances so favourable for the fusion of diverse ele ments. Their accession to the administration of affairs is not the result of any great party triumph. They find, consequently, no great party in avowed and direct hostility to them, with whom they are, on the very threshold of their career, to be com pelled to join issue on some great political prin ciple ; and there is, notwithstanding the efforts of the Manchester sect, no agitation afloat. The new Cabinet, therefore, have full time and ample space to direct their attention, _without any serious dis turbance, to a large number of subjects, the enter tainment of which, although actually of primary importance, will not awaken or call into play the differing opinions which the respective members of the Cabinet have avowed, and doubtless still main tain. The Governiment have, in our opinion, exercised a wise discretion in taking advantage of this unusual state of things, and postponing, at all events till another year, the only great constitutional question which would necessarily develope every difference of political opinion which exists in the Cabinet, the house, and the country. N o f au l t rests with any particular party—the severe struggles which have impeded the consideratio n o f many soc i al questions long agitated, but still undecided, were unavoid able. A great commercial theory, o pp ose d t o th e convictions of a large and powerful party, and to the experience of centuries, was for six years under the test of actual experiment, and it was not possible that decision on its value should be concluded without vehement contest. Those contests, ' however, beyond doubt, did have the effect of shelving much general legislation. The great question at issue is at rest, those contests are over ; and we cannot but think that the present Government would have taken a most unwise course if they had re-created the difficult circum stances which we have just got rid of, by hastily throwing on the table of the house a new Reform Bill for every political section to pull at. In point of fact, too, the sessional programme announced by Lord John Russell includes a suffi cient number of subjects to occupy the most indus trious Parliament at the least till the end of July. The question of the disabilities or inconveniences which our present laws impose on our commercial marine, the increase and perfectionment of our naval defences, are matters which cannot be lightly treated or hastily disposed of. The consolidation 1 of our criminal law and the subject of secondary punishments are matters of high importance and primary urgency. We rejoice that such experience and administrative talent as is embraced in the pre sent Cabinet is to be brought to bear upon this great question. We learn with satisfaction that our colonies are no longer to be paltered with as regards the transportation of convicts ; and that the—to use a plain word—dishonest proceedings which threw so much, and such deserved, discredit on Lord Grey's Colonial Administration will no more be permitted. On this subject, the Duke of Newcastle wisely and justly adopts the policy of his immediate predecessor in office. In addition to these questions, the Government promises to submit propositions for the better edu cation both of poor and rich—applicable to the systems pursued in our universities as well as in our national schools. They propose, also, to carry to more complete development the schemes for law reform so ably and energetically initiated by Lord St. Leonards. The budget, of course, is a matter which for c es it se lf i n t o cons id era ti on bon gre vial gre ; but we trust that, having now for t we lve years patched our revenue by t em p orar y expedients, and f Made both en d s mee t b y th e proce eds of a tax o originally triennial, but latterly only of annual, vitality, and having settled the greater contestbe tween the principles of f r e e trade and protection, we shall at last have our financial system put on an intelligible, safe, and permanent foundation. If Mr. Gl a d s t one w ill d o t hi s, we w ill not quarrel with 1, him for taki ng till A pr il t o con sider his budget. On one great question, however, we feel compelled, leven in this early stage, to enter our strong and earnest protest against the course which the Go vernment-are prepared to pursue. That Lord John Russell should have been left free to propose, as an independent member of the house, a measure for the admission of the Jews into Parliament would have been, considering the position in which Lord John Russell stands with regard to that question, only a natural and fair determination ; but we can not see the slightest ground, or the least justifica tion, for making of this subject a Cabinet question. The Jews are exposed to no hardships by the with holding from them the privilege of sitting in Par liament • ' they have perfect religious equality, per fect civil and commercial freedom ; and a measure framed expressly for their admission involves, ne cessarily, the infraction of a great religious and constitutional principle. The Legislature, we trust, will not, however, permit any Ministerial urgency'' to induce them to swerve from the position which they have taken upon this subject, and have hitherto consistently maintained. With regard to the other promised measures of the Government, we shall, without reference to party distinctions or party reminiscences, be pre-. pared, according to their merits, to consider and discuss them in an honest and independent spirit, and with an earnest regard and heartfelt anxiety for the preservation intact of the great principles of Conservative civil and ecclesiastical polity, to which, we believe, England owes her greatness and her stability. (Fr - ora the Daily News.) Lord John Russell's Ministerial explanation con tains much ground for congratulation—but much also for regret. It is of course agreeable to us— and must be equally so to many of our readers—to find the new Government come forward, on the opening night of the session, to say they mean to carry into operation many practical reforms long urged upon public and legislative attention in these columns. We, and thousands with us, must be glad to see that many arguments of the Daily News in favour of practical reforms are about to be crowned at last by Ministerial action. It is satisfactory to learn that the Cabinet contem- . plate the abolition of transportation to Australia, and mean to give up to the Canadians their un doubted—but long disputed—right to settle the question of the clergy reserves in their own Legis lature. It is gratifying to hear a Minister of the Crown announce the intended reform of the taxes on shipping—and declaring a determination to ex tend education, and to legislate on the subject of the civil disabilities of the Jews. All these things must be sources of congratulation and applause. But indicating the measure in which praise should be given, it will be needful to learn how far these improvements are to be thoroughly carried out. This is especially necessary in reference to shipping, and will be little less so in relation to the steps to be taken on the subject of Education, and on the plan of secondary punishment now in store as a substitute for transportation. Still on all these points there remains, as the matter now stands, a balance of reasons for congratulation, to be - set up against the disappointment inevitable on the decla ration that we are to have no improvement in the income tax, and that,—urgent as are our needs for electoral reform,—no measure on the subject is to be introduced till next year. The heartiest " hear, hear" that greeted, last night, any one of Lord John Russell's topics of explanation in the house, arose when he first referred to Parliament ary reform. Altogether his statement was re ceived with great attention,—and silence. No enthusiasm was manifested. A cheer bespoke the legislative interest on education ; another greeted the intimation that additional soldiers were not deemed requisite, but no other sign worth notice enlivened the polite, but apparently, disappointed attention with which Lord John Russell's explana tion, as a whole, was received. The silence of the house over these Cabinet disclosures is not likely to be imitated by the country. The people—when they sof) the weakness of the reform element in the present Ministry,—may think fit to take such steps as may seem best to strengthen that section of the Cabinet who would do most for the public, and to teach the laggards the dangers begotten of broken pledges. It is difficult to -z reiinquish the belief that the Minister who was last night the mouth-piece of the Cabinet can heartily concur in the postponement he announced. Lord John Russell, when himself Prime Minister, brought into the house a bill for electoral reform. Be, therefore, cannot plead ignorance either of the ills to be cured, or of the means by which such cure might be effected. He has been a parliamentary reformer long enough to know alike intimately the need for change, the in terests involved in such alterations, the prejudices to be met, the cliques to be b r a ve d, and the good to be done. To find him, therefore, standing up in his place in Parliament say we are to have no sign on the subject till the opening of the next ses sion of Parliament looks very like the liberal ele ment of the present Cabinet having been almost swamped by its more reactionary section. It may, and will doubtless be said, in reply to this sugges tion, that the people are themselves indifferent on this subject. That the present affluence of the country—the increased price of labour—the readi ness with which all claimants for occupation may gain it—the hearty flow of emigration to the newly found land of gold—have conspired to make men patient for a time about internal changes is doubt less clear enough. That these varied influences have been at work to divert a portion of public attention from urgent political discussion is to some extent true, but those who urge this as ample reason for a perfect electoral stand-still are most lamentably out in their reckoning. To say we want no change is tantamount' to saying that poli tical feeling is dead, which is certainly not the case. The country though prosperous and calm - , is not indifferent. The plethora of wealth has not acted like a plethora of wine, and stupefied the nation. On the contrary, the changed condition of the people, by giving them more business to do, and more wealth to win, has inclined them more than ever to crave that political position which the theory of the constitution declares to be their right. Men hungry and desperate may be feared for vio lence, but men prosperous and full are far more po litically dangerous to any clique or combination who may stand in their way. Of this we may soon have proof enough should the popular voice ex claim—" Why support a Ministry which boasts the possession of all the administrative talent of the country,' if that administrative talent is not ready to do the people's work ? Why uphold men who, when the time comes for action, ask leave to pro crastinate ? " These are questions that may as suredly be asked throughout the country, and the Coalition Cabinet must be prepared with their re ply. If the leader of the Commons had been per mitted to announce that at the end of present ses sion the promised Reform Bill would be laid upon the table of the house, with a view to its discussion at the beginning. of next session, there would have been more reason for the step. But, after the pro mises of the hustings—and the unopposed returns there made—a bitter feeling of disappointment, nearly akin it may be in many places to a sense of having been cajoled, may naturally be felt. This postponement seems all the more unwise when we find it coupled with an intimation that Ministers intend to ask for a renewal of the income tax in the present form. If the public mind has been made up upon any one question of taxation, it is—that the inequalities of this impost must be remedied. Even the last Tory Government did ex-Chancellor their share towards strengthening feel ing on this point. The the popular of the Exche quer made, perhaps, in reference to this tax, the most acceptable of all his propositions when indica ting a desire to discriminate between the income derived from realised wealth and that won by the useful toil of the industrious. He would have taxed the territorial millionaire at a somewhat heavier rate than the struggling shopkeeper or the temporarily. successful professional man ; and, vicious as some portions of his plan were, it had within it, in one respect, an element of national acceptability. Yet now we have Lord Aberdeen taking the whole income tax at once, and telling us to wait a year for his promised instalment of reform. We are to pay down our five millions of hard cash--whilst the Minister coolly postpones for a twelvemonth the redemption of his pledge. We cannot believe this to be a course in which Lord John Russell does, with any heartiness, coincide. There is only one consolation to be had from the postponement, and it is that the question of Re form being put aside for the present, there will be more Parliamentary energy left for the furtherance of other measures. We may get the Tariff relieved of the 281 articles that burden industry, whilst returning less than 500,0001. a year to the Treasury; we may have the question of Law Reform and Religious Disabilities cleared satisfactorily out of the way; we may, perhaps, succeed in getting full justice done to shipping ; and may, moreover, ex tort from the Chancellor of the Exchequer some modicum of justice towards soap, paper, advertise ments, and other things now unwisely taxed. The statement that no additional men are to be raised, 4 Must turn Executive attention to Army and Navy EMIGRATION. The difference of opinion formerly existing in reference to Emigra tion is now completely removed. No one doubts the expediency and advantazes of Emigration, but the expence is the principal conside ration with everyone contemplating a change of country and pursuits. It is scarcely credible how small an amount will procure an Outfit at E. MOSES and SONS; it is also impossible for any class of Emi grants to obtain the articles they will require, so good or so cheap as they are offered at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The attention which every Emigrant requires is provided for by a separate department being kept for Outfitting. The Goods and Clothing specially required by Ennizr m's are offered at wholesale prices, and are acknowledged by thousands of Emigrants to be every • wty superior to any which can be had elsewhere. Ship-sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post-free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON _regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman•like f ilsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or" It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No OONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Eoteblishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 44,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

We may possibly, in return for the 15 millions paid for armaments, have a sufficient force, naval and military, kept at home to render us invulnerable. It is well sometimes to seek rea sons for hope, and it is wise always to make the best of exitsing circumstances. This being so, we may say that this year's delay—if we must submit to it—should be turned to the best use, by placing the question of Reform in such a position that the twelvemonths' consideration shall bear the fruit of a better measure than we could now hope to pass on the instant, under the cold shadow of an aristo cratic Coalition Cabinet. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The oracle has spoken, but what a speech ! Lord John Russell last night undertook to submit to the House of Commons a programme of the con templated Ministerial policy of the session. But did the noble Lord discharge the duty which he thus engaged to perform There will be but one answer to the question. O n many i mpor t an t sub jects which occupy th e attention of the country, the Foreign Secretary literally said nothing. He did . not even allude t o th em. And on those on which he did touch, the information he afforded will be felt by all classes to be scanty and unsatis factory to an extent which no one could have been prepared to expect. Anything more meagre and vague than the observations of his Lordship, when he did say anything at all could not be imagined. Apart from the one great measure of which the country is to be baulked, and respecting which we shall have some observations to make presently, the Ministerial programme for the session does not pro mise anything which is likely to call forth the enthu siasm of the country. The measures indicated in the speech of the Foreign Secretary may be enu merated in a few words. A bill is to be brought in to enable the Legislature of Canada to dispose of the clergy reserves. A* these clergy reserves have been for many years a subject of much ill-feeling in our Canadian posses sions, we are glad to find that the Aberdeen Ad ministration have raarle_up theix,minds tolegislate -- on the subject. Whether they will adopt the best kind of dealing with the question, is a point on which we must reserve our opinion until we see the measure which they mean to bring forward. Let us hope that it will not be a half measure, but one which will fully meet the merits of the case. Next, in the order of the Ministerial statement, we have a bill for the removal of the civil dis abilities of the Jews. That measure will meet with general approbation, but it is not one in which the public take any lively interest. Of itself, it is a measure which will not add much to the strength of the Government. The third measure which Lord John Russell last night announced as part of the Ministerial programme for the session is one of great importance. A bill is to be brought in for the purpose of promoting the education of the people. In other words, we are to have a scheme of national education. This is a ques tion in which the public has long felt a profound interest. It is a question of great difficulty. If the Aberdeen Administration bring forward a mea sure of national education which will command the • confidence of the country, they will, indeed, be in a position to boast of having achieved something meritorious. But we have great doubts on the sub ject. We shall, however, not condemn the intended measure before we have seen it. When it is fairly before the country, we shall not be slow to express our opinion of its character. The question of transportation to Australia is one which has occupied the attention of the Coalition Cabinet during the recess, and the conclusion at which Ministers have arrived, is that no more con victs shall be sent either to that part of our colo nial possessions, or to Van Diemen's Land. This was the course which Lord Grey meant to propose to the last Parliament, but the sudden extinction of the Cabinet of which he was a member, pre vented the noble lord from carrying his views into effect. In conjunction with the resolution of Mi nisters to put an end to the transportation of con victs to Australia, we are promised the careful con sideration of the whole question of secondarypnnish ments. The qu6stion of law reform has also occupied the attention of the new Government, and we are promised further advances in that direction, in the course of the session. A bill for further law re forms is to be brought in, in a few days by the Lord Chancellor. The financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not to be brought forward till after the Easter recess. What we are to have then, in the way of novelty, if anything at all, has not been permitted to transpire. Ireland is not to be forgotten in the legislation of-tile seg-sion t , lAw:1-40143.41wiseil.,informed. the house that it is the intention of the Government to move for the appointment of a select committee to consider the landlord and tenant question, in that country. Last of all, the noble lord came to the question of questions,—the question o f P ar li amentary re form. And here, we regret to say, the new Govern ment have broken faith with the country. As the Times stated a few days ago, and as we informed our readers more than t wo months since ' we are to have no Reform Bill this ye ar . Wh en we first annnounoed that Ministers had come to a resolution not to have any Reform Bill this session, the public could hardly give credence to the statement. Nor was it willing to believe the fact that it could be so, when the Times reiterated last week, what we had affirmed eight weeks before. Nor can we wonder that the country was loth to believe that the new Ministry, every one of whose members had given a solemn assurance, either in Parliament or on the hustings, that we were to have a liberal measure of reform,--could be guilty of so flagrant a breach of faith with the public as the postponement of the Reform Bill involves. Such conduct is deeply to be deplored on the ground of public morals. It not only impairs, but it destroys all confidence in pub lic men. It is melancholy to behold so many per sons as those which constitute the Aberdeen Government all concur in practising a deception on the country. The people, it now turns out, were too confiding. They carried their gene rosity to excess. Ministers asked for a fair trial. They implored the country not to prejudge them. They begged to be allowed to develops the policy they intended to pursue before they were condemned. We acquiesced in the reasonableness of the request, and intimated our readiness to grant them the fair trial which they demanded. The country did the same. They have had their trial. They have been allowed to announce their policy. They have been tried, and found wanting. The event has shown that the country's confidence was mis placed.oul have d We say all this with sorrow. u given us great pleasure to have seen eas lt th ur w e eswh Aberdeen ioh Administ r ation bring forward m would have justified us in giving them ou They have, however, determined on not p . taking one s support. step in the path of popular progress. The country • will now ask, and ask with reason , w hat we ha ve gained by the ejection of the Derby G o vernmen t m ell easureis there to be found fromo programme of last i f i fi i c t e ll ? e A W b e h r a d t e e s n i n - R g l u e s s night which Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli would not have given us ? We have had a change of men, but we are to have no change of measures. This is really, as a former Premier once remarked, " too bad." It is not only a gross breach of faith with the country, but it constitutes an outrage on the national understanding. It is a most unwarrant- able trifling with the people of England. It as sumes that they may be deceived, and yet not be aware of it. We fear that the consequences of the Ministerial developments of last night will be of a very serious kind. There will be a reaction in the public mind. The existing tranquillity will be succeeded by scenes of excitement and agitation which we would much rather not be fated to witness. The mingled amazement and coldness with which Lord John Russell's speech was received by the house, ought to have been regarded by his lordship as an ear nest of the feeling with which that speech will be received in the country. The disappointment will be deep and universal. So will be the indignation which the speech will evoke. And, as if it had not been enough to tell the House of Commons, and through it the country, that we are to have no Reform Bill this year, Lord John Russell was at great pains to disclaim the idea of ever having promised to give a more liberal measure of representative reform than his bill of last session. He was even indignant that words to that effect should have been ascribed to him. M. never said nor meant anything of the kind. does not even promise us so good a measure as that of 1852. The probability is, that if any such sure be ever got from the present men,. Vlii, much worse than the one of last session. THE RECENT ROBBERY' OF 3,0001.
