Those who are curious as to the position likely to be assumed by the newly-elected representatives on the re-assembling of Parliament will be rejoiced to have all their conjectures reduced to a certainty. The benches of the House of Commons are already ar ranged in respective divisions for the reception of the different classes of politicians. The Liberals are to occupy an elevated place analogous to the Mountain of the National Convention ; while the Protectionists are to be grouped in a lower range, like the mem bers of the Plain in the same memorable assembly. For, be it understood, henceforth, the Liberals are Jacobins, the Protectionists are Constitutionalists, and the Peelites are Girondists. Si r ROBERT PEEL is the new VERGNIAIID, and RICHA RD C ORDEN is only another MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE. Such are the sapient discoveries announced in the columns of a Contemporary, and announced, too, with a gravity worthy of DESCARTES or TOSCANELLI. The visionary who endeavours to impress the minds of his fellow countrymen with a sense of the magnanimity of the Protectionists—the weakness, if not the pusillani mity of the Peelites—and the disguised blood-thirsti ness and inherent agcity of the Liberals and Radi cals, draws his deductions—not from the experiences of common sense, that would be beneath his philoso phy I but from the poetic history of M. ALPHONSE DE La.sa.kamtsiz. It is something odd, we must acknow ledge, to find a disciple of the good old school of Toryism quoting one of the most eloquent and im passioned Radicals of the age, and referring espe cially to the pages of a work which is, in its way, the very text-bo o k of r . • epublicarusm We con gratulate this Conserv a ti ve theorist on * the exquisite obtuseness of judgment which he evinces in raising a Tory hypothesis out of the suggestions of a demo cratic narrative. To say the least of them, his argu ments are as extravagant, but scarcely as indecent, as those which yesterday prompted another of our Con temporaries to compare one of the greatest statesmen in the world to a notorious concubine. V hen w e and, however, the avowed organs of Conservatism tracing analogies between the bloodiest demons of the French Revolution and the pacific advocates of Free Trade, we may, at least, esti. mate the extent of their political bigotry, and th e v i o l ence of their political hatred. ~ Hi When we find them quoting the story of the Girondists" to show that the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, and for the borough . of Stookport, is i n di spos i tion, as well as i n principle, akin to . those ferocious monsters who were the despots of the Reign of Terror, w%may conceive to ourselves the degree of animosity with which the popular representatives are regarded by the lovers of Conservatism. This chapter of nobsense about the elec tions of France in 1793, and of England in 1847, is in itself a sufficient taken of the sentiments entertained by the Country Party, and the rationality with which those sentime.its are enunciated. It is the straw showing which way the wind blows, and inasmuch as 4 7 , 11 s t raw 1 3 valuable as a kind of exteraporaaeop weathercock, the article we are alluding to is, in a proportionate degree, worthy of consideration. Whatever may be the distribution of the three classes—Liberals, Peelites, and Protectionists—over the benches of St. Stephen's, it is already quite manifest that the latter will be incapable of interfering with the measures of the Govern mint in any more important manner than that of prolonging the discussions and giving vent to their ignoble feelings of spleen. Day after day the relative strength of the three classes just mentioned is published in our columns, and day after day the numerical and intellectual strength of the Liberals becomes more manifest. About six hundred out of the six hundred and fifty-eight Members entitled to sit in the House of Commons, have been already elected by those possessed of the franchise in England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland ; and out of those there are no less than three hun dred and seven avowed Liberals. Coupling these with the free-trade followers of Sir ROBERT PEEL it is obvious that the Protectionists are in a deplor able minority, and that the cause of the people is in no very alarming degree endangered. Much reason, however, as we have for exultation in the gradual removal of obstructions from the path way of constitutional reform, there is yet greater reason for our evincing moderation and unanimity— : moderation in the calmness with which the next session shall be opened, and unanimity in the support afforded to the generous endeavours of the present Administration. So essential are these qualities just now, that the measures which are most requisite for the national wel- fare cannot by possibility be carried triumphantly through the Houses of Legislation without them. Some would be overlooked in the enthusiasm of the moment, were not that enthusiasm tempered by mode ration ; others, again, would be in peril of rejection, were not the supporters of those measures unanimous in opinion and untiring in attendance. The elections are, in fact, merely the conscription of the forces and the equipment of the conscripts ; the session will be the campaign, and in that campaign good genera]. ship and effective manoeuvring will be necessary for the attainment of victory. Courage, then, soldiers of the nation ! and champions of constitutions' reform ! Courage, and your success is even now assured. Yourselves, led by a Liberal Prime Minister, and that Prime Minister clad in the armour of popularity, you must prove in the end invincible. A letter appears this day in our columns from Dr' GEORGE MOBERLEY, Head Master of NVinchester School, in which that Learned Gentleman attempts to show that the severe and dangerous illness of the young gentleman, referred to in the letter signed " HUMANITAS," which some time since appeared in The Sun, was not wholly ascribable to the system of fagging, and in which also he not merely justifies, but in the highest degree eulogises that practice. We generally find that a defence of a bad case ex poses its weakness, and exhibits its defects in a stronger point of view, than the attack to which it is intended as an answer. In this respect, the Rev. Gentleman's epistle forms no exception to the general rule; indeed, it more than confirms everything stated by HumANITAs. It admits that " the boy was sent to watch out at cricket for some of the pre fects," or senior boys, who possess the privilege of compelling their junior fellow-students to discharge the moat degraded menial offices, to become the abject slaves of their taskmasters; but adds, " that at the end of two hours he was at liberty to leave off, according to a rule laid down some years ago by the present warden, and, as far as I know, always most punctually and cheerfully obeyed. The day being one on which the usual arrangements of time were broken up on account of preparation for the holidays, other prefects came to play, and the game was continued. The boy in question was well pleased to go on watching out without claiming his exemption, and did so much longer than was good for him, and the result is, that he is very ill—not, as the surgeon assures me, dangerously, at present, but still very ill." Here, then, we have the circumstances at once deducible from the admissions of the Reverend Gentleman, We find that the fag, obliged by the regulations of the school to attend the behests of the juvenile despot to whose tender mercies he is consigned, no matter what his own pursuits or desires may .b _ , vssraot fcmrs.en. tivsm 161L.c. io GOTT'S pelled to relinquish his recreations during the brief space allotted for them ; nay, he cannot devote the time to preparation for the ensuing school hours, however deficient he may be in the tasks in which he is expected by the master to be perfect. He must give up every thing to watch out for the prefects at cricket, or to discharge any other duty they, or rather his peculiar tyrant, may choose to dictate. But he is at liberty, forsooth, at the end of two hours, to leave off, a rule which, as far as the head master knows, has been most cheerfully and punc tually obeyed. Why, what a mockery is this. What boy is there who, so long as the system is sanctioned and tolerated by the school authorities—so long as his master is authorised to punish and tyrannise over him,' to deprive him of every comfort, and make his life itself a burden to him, would dare to complain of any breach of the regulations, or refuse to remain as long as his attendance was required without claiming his exemption ? Should he even venture to do so, and to report to the masters the violation by the prefects of that rule, in what manner would his complaint be received, and what future protection would be afforded to him against the vengeance to which he would be exposed for his audacity ? The master would most assuredly be the very last person to hear anything of such a transaction, and hr may very truly say that, so far as he knows, the rule is cheerfully obeyed, when the very contrary may be notorious to every pupil in the school. The outwork at cricket, without any admission to the bat or the more agreeable portions of the game, is not so very fascinating a sport that a boy would voluntarily con tinue at it for several hours on a broiling day in the month of July, until he actually fainted on the ground, unless some strong method of persuasion was used to induce him ; the result, in the words of Dr. MOBERLEY, is, that he is very ill, although not dangerously so at present—that is, at the end of five weeks from the attack ;—in the words of HIIMANITAS, he has for that period " lain in a state of lifeless insensibility, and remains at this moment unfit to be removed, a most miserable picture of human suffering." Whichever of these statements may be the most correct, either is amply sufficient to startle the atrocious of every ouspra ti la d sent ento a still t maintained. school . Whey y w w he il r th le ask themselves, is it for such objects that they have parted from their child, that th ey have undertaken heavy expenses on his account ? Is it that he may become the dutiful and obedient servant of a schoolboy that he may do the out-work at cricket, clean shoes, run messages, and discharge all the menial offices required by his senior ?—offices under which the manly vigour and brilliant intellect Of PERCY BYSCHE SHELLEY had almost suc cumbed, and the recollections whereof excited his horror and indignation at every subsequent period of his life. Is a course of slavery in the first in- stance, succeeded by the most despotic power, the only way by which the character of our English youth can be formed and prepared for future success ? Dr. MOBERLEY asserts that " where a large number of boys are assembled together there is a great danger, indeed, a certain prospect, that strength will often overrule and tyrannise over wf,‘akness." This is undoubtedly the truth—it is th-e tendency of human nature, against which the most stringent laws are required in every station •and position ; there is no doubt that if left, w h o ll y t o themselves a fearful amount of c rue lt y , wan tonness, and suffering is sure to tak e p l ace; but we join i ssue at once with the Rie v . tlemen in his con c l us i on that the system. of Den fagging is the only way in which it can be cheeked, or that it furnishes the noblest method of fon, ling the cha racters of those who exercise it, a n d those who live under it. As well might he assert tt iat modern lawn should be set aside, and that we shoe Al return to the patron and client system of ancient times, when the middle classes were obliged to became the retainers up teir i l nd h e o pe y nd ir e g n i c n e ia i nn r o e f tu so rn me for patrician, theprotection d y ield o na..mordehd . a planter may assert that tbere is na better method of Forming a character than in slaking a man first a slave, and afterwards the owner of slaves, and the argument of Dr. MOBERLEY may prove convincing to such an auditory, but it will scarcely carry much weight with it to a body of free-born Englishmen. .Ve trust that a speedy inquiry may take place into the entire sys tem. Winchester, as well as other public schools, derives a large revenue from endowments; and the manner in which they are expended, and whether or not the practices there sanctioned are conducive to the public benefit, form a legitimate sulject for the notice of the Legislature. Much more attention has of late years been paid to education than was formerly the case, and recognised abuses will be no longer tolerated. It is not for the children of the middle or humbler classes that protection is required, but we demand it on behalf of the wealthy and highborn, the offspring of the magnates of the land. The Central Committee of the Swiss Popular As sociation has just published the following manifesto, addressed to "the sovereign people of Switzerland," as a reply to the calumnies of which it says it is the object, and a s an exposition of the end it seeks to attain, and of the means which it intends to em ploy : _ _ " On the 10th of July last the Bernese section of the Popular Association invited all good citizens to unite themselves to detend the dearest interests of the country. This appeal was heard! The meeting which took place at Berne on the 27th July furnished an irrefragble proof of it. The cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Bale- Campagne, Argovia, and Berne, were there represented by about five hundred citizens, who founded the Swiss Popular Association in the western parts of the Con federation. Thus is realised that national idea, the object of the ardent wishes of so many patriots! The Swiss Popular Association declares itself by this act for mally and definitively constituted. But, to dissipate the alarms which the common enemy perfidiously endeavours to spread by misrepresenting our intentions, and to paralyse ulterior efforts, we declare positively, before God and the dear country, that we will never quit the path of right, and that we energetically reject all malevolent and false accusations directed against our institution. On the other hand, we declare that we are decided to employ all legal means which may tend to free the country for ever from its most dangerous enemies, the Jesuits and the Sonderbund, and to throw off the yoke of the pact of 1815. Such is the object of the association. We give, besides, the formal assurance to our Catholic brethren that we have no intention to injure their faith; on the contrary, we affirm, on our honour and our name of Swiss, that our only object is to combat the enemy of all confessions and religions—the Jesuits! - Swiss, who sympathise with us, and who are impatient to see the country freed from the bonds which, paralysing our in tellectual and material development, prevent us from becoming a Switzerland united and grand, capable of re• sisting the foreigner, unite yourselves to us, and let us take the oath to have neither rest nor truce until the Helvetic soil shall be purged of all the elements which stain it. Then our fathers of the Grutli will rejoice at the patriotic spitit which animates their descendants! Come to us, Swiss citizens, animated by a firm and en.-rg.-tic determinatton to defend our rights and liber ties, and let us tie the knot of an indissoluble union! Salutation and fraternity !" The Poles, THEOPHILUS 1S ISNLOWSKI and JOSEPH KAPUSCZINSSI were executed on the 31st of July, at Lemberg. The execution was 1. - ,oked on as a mar. tyrdom. On the scaffold the victims urged the people to persevere for the liberation of Poland. Crowns of flowers were showered upon them as they proceeded to their death. It was a triumph rather than an execution. The Prussian State Gazette publishes a notice by the KING of the proceedings of the Diet, in which his MAJESTY promulgates his royal will for giving the force of law to the decisions respecting the Jews and other matters approved of by that body, and exprew , ea his intention of modifying for a future Diet some of the propositions which were objected to by the late assembly. With reference to the refusal to authorise a loan for the construction of the railroads of the east, his MAJESTY stares that he cannot promise tl , at he will submit a new proposition to a future Diet, but he reserves to himself to ordain, according to time and circumstances, whatever may be necessary for continuing the construction of the line ; always, however, taking into consideration the opinions ex pressed by the Diet, and the resources of the State, so as to be able to give aid for the construction of other important lines. The language of the KING is throughout the *hole document firm, but at the same time moderate, and betrays nothing like irritation against the Diet, although there are expressions of regret at the rejection of some of the measures which were submitted to it. A letter from Vienna of the 3d states that the new Tototiyo to the prent3 which the Germanic Diet is about to adopt, will borrow their principal dispo sitions from those of Denmark. In that country there is no censorship, but the Government has the right to seize the whole edition of any number of a journal. The editor may consent to the seizure, or demand to be brought before the tribunals, which will either declare the seizure good or void, and if good will inflict the penalty awarded in the law for the publication of the offensive article. Among the penalties which the law inflicts on responsible editors of newspapers is the interdiction for a certain number of years, or even for life, of the privilege of publish ing anything without previously submitting it to the censorship. Letters from Rome, of the 2d instant, state that Monsignor MORICHIN is appointed Finance Mi nister, and Cardinal ANTONELLI, the former Finance Minister, has been sent as legate to Forli. Madrid papers of the 7th histant, have arrived. A forged proclamation, i,sued in the name of the KING, and urging the nati , .n to upset the Govern ment, has been seized by the authorities. The KING denies all knowledge of it. It wi.s forwarded to his MAJESTY at the Prado with a request that he would affix his name to it. The lima immediately forwarded the parcel to the Mi nister of the Interior. It is said that PACHECO BAHAMIINDE and PASTOR DIAs are about to retire from the Cabinet, which will be remodelled by SALAMANANCA. General CONCHA, the Marquis (d . AIIRAFLOKES, and General SERRANO will, it is said, have seats in the new Cabinet. It is said that SALAMANCA not being able to raise the loan of 100,000,000 of reals in Spain, has sent an agent to Paris to endeavour to raise the money among the French capitalists. A royal decree has been issued, permitting the exportation of grain from Spain. MADRID Bome., Aug. 7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i for cash; the Five per Cents. at 171; and the Coupons at 15. The Paris jiurnals of Thursday have been received. From a correspondence published in the Moniteur Parisien, it appears that the Bishop of ST. BRJEUX, who from his conduct must be, we should imagine, the PRILLPOT'S of France, has managed to get into a squabble with the civil authorities, which promises to afford matter for amusement to the quid ;tuna during the recess of the Chambers. It appears that in consequence of a difference between the diocesan authorities and the directors of the College of St. Brieuc, the Bishop demanded the immediate dismissal of three functionaries of the College, viz., the Prin cipal, Sub-Principal, and Chaplain. A refusal having ht w ha m ev s iennxgoetrfeaciioslmee failed, complied et his ies w r i et Bishop,i religious n been given, the Bishop declared that if his demand three at t w h ee func ti ons . e k s expirationf r This m h s the day of his notice, be would interdict the Chaplain from day allowed, passed the order of interiction. The Department,Minister of P t u h b e l i cm Instruction, Council t Prefect of st. B o ot r f hf :t t u h ha c e et , and the directors and committee of the College, have all protested, but in vain, against this decision of the Bishop, and the affair is now in the bands of the Minister of Justice and Public Worship, who will, it is supposed, bring it before the Council of State. This demand on the part of the Bishop, for the dismiss=al of three of the officials of a coil ege over which he had no control, is one of the cool eat pieces of impertinent niedd;ing that we have ever m et with m S i a x y de, e b a r u s t ago the s s u u p e r h , 0 a r t n g a i t v t , e n m b p y t . w m o . o G l d u z e o v e T r t ilt () t v h e e b j ee e n . suits in Switzerland iris emboldened the Pctriti Pretre in France, who imagine that they will obtain from M. GUIZOT and LOUIS PHILLII'PE that power which even POLIONAC and CHARLES X. dared not grant them. I It would be well, however, that G' mot. should awaken to the signs of the times. The spirit of li berty in France is not so dead as he wound desire ; witness the reform banquet at Colmar, of •which the following account appears in the Notional Itossee, First President of the Royal' Court of Colmar. accepted an invitation to preside on. /he occa sion. Tlrs Prefect, togetber witb the priv i cival tune- tionaries of the department, in yam endeavoured to pre- vail on him to refuse to assist at a demonstration organized by the Oppo,ition. •• M. Ro,see considered that the moment had arrived to give the Government a salutary warning, and in this point of view the participation of the head of the Alsa tian magistracy in this civic solemnity was hailed with joy by his fellow-citizens. M. Emile Dolphus, Mayor of Muihausen, and Deputy for the Upper Rhine, likewise accepted an invitation to attend, but unexpected circum stances, which occurred on the eve of the festivity, pre vented his carryine his intention into effect. M. Struch, Deputy fur the Upper Rhine, was pre sent at the banquet, together with M. Coulmann and M. Koechlin, former Deputies, several members of the our icipal councils of Stra.burg and Mulhausen, and a considerable number of the inhabitants of those towns ; and moreover, several deputations of electors from the principal towns on the Upper Rhine. When the guests had taken their seats M. Gerard, the chief editor of the Courtier d' Alsace, and secretary of the committee for directing the birtquet, proposed the appointment of a permanent electoral committee fur the department of the Upper Rhine, and invited the assembly to sign immediately the petit:on prepared by the central committee of the elec tors of Paris. The petition was immediately signed by all present. The greatest cordiality prevailed throughout the meeting, and the' Marseillaise,' with other patriotic airs, was pertormed by an excellent orchestra. Atter dinner the font 'wing toasts were given from the chair, and enthusiastically cheered Electoral reform,' 'The union of nations,' The French Revolution,' The realisation of its doctrines and principles,' The organi zation of labour,' and The probity of public authors ties.' M. Borsch, member of the municipal council of Strasburg, and principal editor of the Courtier du Bas Rhin, in proposing a toast, To the patriots of the Lower Rhine,' delivered a speech, from which we make the fol lowing extract:— " Yes, gentlemen, the present situation of affairs ap• pear to us dangerous and lamentable. It is with sorrow in her heart, and a blush of indignation on her brow, that France has been for some time witnessing the can cer which is consuming her. It is with terror that the nation contemplates all the evil caused by the contagion of pernicious examples and pernicious maxims. A nation may endure innume rable disasters, see her armies defeated, her fleets destroyed, her finances exhausted, and her commerce annihilated. These, no doubt, are severe trials, but they do not constitute disgrace. Waterloo was a catastrophe for France, but Waterloo is not a stain on our national history, for there was no dishonour in contending alone against all Europe, and by closing by one day of reverse half a century of victories. Moreover, a nation may take its revenge for a lost battle. It may recompose its army, rebuild its citadels, reconstruct its navy, revive its commerce and manufactures, and a few years are sufficient to restore its strength. France was in that po sition in 1830, prepared to recommence the gigantic struggles of the republic and of the empire, if any foreigner had dared to lay his hand on her, or if he had dared to prevent the accomplishment of a great act of popular sovereignty and of national justice. But, gen tlemen, what is more serious than a battle lost, or any material disaster, is the moral decline of a nation and the extinction of public spirit in her breast.

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The arrival of the royal mail steamer Britannia, Captain Harrison, at this port, after a voyage of twelve days and a half, from Boston, including her calling and stay at Halifax, has put us in possession of our files of papers to the Ist inst., her day of de parture from her first port. The Britannia has 107 passengers. She met the outward bound steamer, Hibernia, between Halifax and Boston, which latter port she might be expected to reach on the 2d inst. The United States steamer Washirgton had arrived out at New York on the 30th of July. The commercial news is important; the rate of exchange had declined to 51 per cent., and between that rate and 61- there was an active business done, with plenty of bills offering. The following are the quotations, •-- Whipple has been lassoed near Vera Cruz.

" This express left Puebla on the 3d, and the news was rcoeived there the day previous, that three commis sioners had been appo►nted to meet Mr. 'l'rist at Martin on the B.h, and learn thr.►ugh him the terms offered by the President.

The result will soon be known. It is said that Santa Anna was disposed in favour of peace. " General l'a)lor's position remained unchanged, and no clue to his future intentions hut' been promulgated. Recruits are slowly gathering to his forces. "The advices just received contain accounts from Ca lifornia. The two regiments of volunteers from New York had arrived in the territory, to occupy and colo nise the coast around Monterey and the Bay of San Francisco. A newspaper has been established at each of these points, and another in Oregon. American en terprise is thus spreading the English language along that wide extended coast, and diffusing the arts of civi lisation and peace among the untutored savages of the wilderness. A new city has been laid out in the Bay of San Francisco. FOREIGN EXCHANGES.
