MONDAY, IITOUST THE DAY'S NEWS Lord John Russell informed a deputation which waited upon him, on Thursday, respecting the state of affairs at Buenos Ayres, that her Majesty's Govern ment was perfectly alive to the necessity for every exertion being made of a friendly character which might tend to arrest hostile movements against Buenos Ayres. His lordship remarked that armed interventions in such cases had. rarely, if ever, been attended wtih good results, and he expressed his satisfaction in being able to state that he had, that morning received a despatch from the French GoVern ment, expressing the willingness of France to lend her assistance to promote a peaceful solution of the difficulties between Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confederation. At the same time, remembering the ery sanguine of success It appears from a parliamentary return issued on Saturday that, on the Ist May, 1834, the public debt of India amounted to £37,827,715. On the Ist May, 1858, it had increased to £80,704,084. _ _ The Marquis Laißico has arrived in London. The Marquis Laiatico is the nobleman who advised the abdication of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, on the morning of ,his flight, as a means of saving the Lor raine dyna4ty. It is understood that he has arrived on a mission from the Tuscan Government. Up to Saturday afternoon six Liberals, members of Parliament, h a d, been unseated, for bribery and corruption at the lale general election. • More of the Conservative members, against whom there were pe titions, have been unseated. ,The result of the pro ceedings before the Election Committees of the House ,of Commons is altogether adverse to the Liberal cause. There is a difference of twelve votes in a division. Th e R ad i cals have hitherto cla i med exemption from that pe cu li ar touch of human f ra i lty that usually displays itself at election contests. That none but the Conservatives resort to bribery and corruption was the theory put forth by Mr. Bright, Sir James Graham, and the Liberal Purists. Against this doctrine we may set the re sults of the election appeals, as far as they have gone. Mr. Smith, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. ' Astell, all Con servative members, have passed the ordeal of investi gation triumphantly, and are declared to have been duly elected. • The petitions against the Conservative members for Kent have been withdrawn: Our intelligence from the Continent this morning is interesting. M. Ratazzi, the new Minister of the In terior, at Turin, has sent an important circular to all the governors and head functionaries of the provinces of the kingdom. The writer somewhat vaguely gives•in his adhesion to the idea of, the future inde_ pendenee of Italy, and oaths on all the .functionaries WE kno- out of the wood how thoroughly the late General Electior to the Liberal appea The resul y and xs to 1 of the the H fore election committees of so far, is, that six Liberal mfined iembe seated on the ground of corrupt practices, while five Conservatives have passed - without taint through the ordeal, and been confirmed in their seats. Now, this woulc whereas ti majority, . What the whole petitions noN lot presume to predict; bu likely .on whiel will prove to have been dc those who were not duly c be rer inavaila blc re assured by Lord better authority ti EMPEROR of the French. )O ichc otes OHN Rus upon no the Mon us land footing ; we sincerely hope such may be the truth. We should have had and sea fOrces upon a pcacc more faith in this expectation, had he been able to backed up the hope by any official explanatiOns between the Government of France and our own, ..It is not surprising that we should look upon any gene- ral statement with a degree of suspicion, arising from the antecedents of NAPOLEON 111. As he gained his present position by a coup d 'etat, he may propose to himself to carry England.by a coup de main. Mr. DISRAELI, with his usual acuteness and penetra- tion, remarked upon this parade of Lord JOHN RUS- SELL'S. A disarmament is only the natural sequence of a war. After alluding in terms of " plaisantri l e" to Mr. BRIGHT'S adoption of him, and who spoke of him with " considerable courtesy as his pupil," the late CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER justly observed, with regard to this disarmament, to which Lord J RUSSELL had evidently alluded, to influence the opinion of the House in favour of his subsequent pro- position in favour of England taking part in a con- gress or conference upon Italian affairs—" Let the whole thing be clone in a business-like manner. 'We must know what the reductions are, just as he shall know what are the reductions we will make and we will give him ample security that these shall be carried out. The EMPEROR must know that it is not because what are called peace principles prevail in this House that we , desire a reduction of armaments—that it is not a mere sentiment." If LOUIS NAPOLEON presumed the desire emanated from such sources, he . would treat us as, so many children, and by unmeaning telegrams and news paperspoilnuitoen, s a i o d f this country; the reducton paper paragraphs hope to m i n u ll s t u e b n e ce real, th e ab o undoubted. It is manifest throughout the spirit and tone, of the d e bate on our Foreign , Relations,, that Lord J. RUSSELL and Lord , PALMERSTON are deter mined to take part in a congress *Or conference, ik not, , say they, upon the peac e drawn up b etween the two Emperors at Vill a f ranca, after t h e battl es ' o f M a k en t a and Solferi no , Certainly in a congress which must meet for the consideration of Italian affair's: Now wdhopo and trust that the feeling of this country, at present so much opposed as it is to any participation in arrang: .p in r g es t e h n e t ~affairsoley cf: that P en i nsu l a, will not allow, the Administration" to drag us", through dvantage, and dignity of this country, than did embassy of the present Secretary fo t Vienna, we shall fall still lower and lower in prestige will suffer great loss and, may be, extinc .stice by which the of six. ,Radical seats has been :the first fruit recent elector The latter was laid, anticipation, all• at the. door of the Conservative party. But prophecy and history are two different things ; and, in fact, it is the most self-Conscious of evil who are generally the most ready in suspicion. To ascribe a special eminence in the arts of bribery tb Conservatism was, we all knew, to read history back- wards. But facts are now too patent and too recent to suffer any but a straightforward perusal. No doubt facts will again be forgotten, and mendacity regain its wonted confidence The real Simon Pnrc - - who has once more been found out, will yet one( more, " half froth, half venom, spit himself abroad,' iulated character deceive the unwary and with h It is useless to break through his cobweb, mlike the housemaid's' insect torment, our political spider can s T ever without wasting his ti It is not unlucky, however, when sometimes a tangible f take aw )r two come to a cleanly rescue, and all necessity for an unpleasant office Two months ago, and the appeal to the country by a Conservative Ministry was stigmatised as a purposed and' deliberate appeal to the powers of corruption. I e constituencies of the country were to have been carried by a coup de nzain, agent in which was to be pOunds, and pence ; the kinds of money to be assorted, not according to the capacity of the bribers, but to the expectations or obstinacy of the bribed. Carlton Club had made every arrangement for the campaign, and the venal army were ready to pounce upon the Supplies might be counted on to any extent, and even a leading journal condescended to adot a falsehOod hopeless from its audacity, and to announce from its leading cohtmns that the high-minded PREMIER, of England had subscribed £20,000 to re- country plenish the coffers of corruption. The Conservative leaders spoke with some confidence of the prospective results of their appefd,, and, their pardonable hopes were construed into a base reliance upon the extent of their iiwcuniary means, and upon the flagitious pliability of English constituencies. Some Con servatives reckoned upon a gain of fifty seats; they actually'gained thirty: But short was to be their triumph. The bill of impeachment was prepaing even before the session began, and in all the Radidal• newspaPers - of the tribunals had lieen .opened o and the gigantic criminals condemned land executed—by anticipation. Such was feigned td be the completeness and the boldness of the organiza- tion, that it had become nothing short of a conspiracy against the 'constitution ; and the march' of the ex ultant Conservatives to Westminster had „acquired something of the impressivene,s of a march of the gUilty to the bar of justice. No one who remenibers, the language used at the time, hi apprehenAnn a Conservative triumph, will accuse u s o f exaggerating the feeling which the Liberal press endeavoured to spread throughout the land. And how stands the game now ? , The tribunal has indeed opened; the judges have indeed taken- their seats, the crier has proclaimed, silence to all England., But the curtain rises, and we see an unhappy Liberal trembling and cowering at the bar; we hear him Pleading, guilty, to prevent an investigation into the details of his crime,—we see him fall upon his knees and beseech his relenting judges, that he may save his casts, on condition of his admitting every particular of hi s shame! ' We have no wish to continue the vein of metaikor. In all seriousness and , sincerity, we denounce the boldness of that mendacity which spattered its -an_ worthy charges of anticipated corruption Upaii op ponents, in order 1,0 rover a Possible,irevevse) We 1 matter of engagement signed, sealed, and witnesses. Henceforth we had better erect an El change for the negotiations of a traffic so necessary for the establishment and prosperity of Liberal prin ciples. Wakefield or Huddersfield should be the head- quarters, and the brothers LEATHAM the coryphaei of the market. Neither 101 it disturb the family combination if Mr. Brother-in- law BRIGHT accepts the office of principal correspondent and' patron THE magnitude of our Empire is a source of our weakness This may appear a paradox, and an enigma. But such, nevertheless, is the case. WE boast, that the sun never sets upon her MAJESTY'S dominions The empire over which QUEEN VICTORIA rules, is not only immeasurable in extent, but almost countless in population. Our colonies, however, which are considered the source and fountain of our great wealth and puissance, are yet drains upon the one and the other. Such an immense area as o colonial possessions represent, diffuses d alienat( our power, and exhausts our resources It absorbs that power which the mother country requires for herself and yet does not afford, sufficient and complete security to those among whom her forces are dispersed. That such is a true representation of the case, might be gleaned from a perusal of the debate in the House of Commons, upon the military defences of our colonies, so ably opened by Mr. ADDERLEY, the honourable member for North Staf fordshire, who always brings to the subject which he Undertakes to discuss, sound argument and talent, fortified ' by the fruits, evidently, of assiduous thoughtful, and untiring industry and application Responsible government has been granted to' most of our colonies, and they ought, therefore, to be now self-reliant, as they are self-governed Imperial Goyern- The question is one of not .dependant upon the went for protection of not small importance, how far this country is called upon not only to supply the colonists with troops, but also to defray the cost of these troops within their territories. ,It appears by the return moved for by Colonel SYKES, the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, that while the taxation upon the inhabit ants of the United Kingdom for Army, Navy, and Ordnance, was as D. per head, Canada, which tells least for the argument, as it bears a greater propor- tion of taxation for its own defence, upon the assump tion that it contained a population of 2,000,000, would be as £1 per head for 50, as against £1 per head here. The military defences -of our colo- nies cost us £3,000,000 per annum ; to which they contribute only • £337,000 per annum Deducting the cost of such military stations; as Gibraltar; Malta, the lonian Islands, the Bermudas, and Ceylon, which was £2,500,000, whilst the sum contributed is only £220 ? 000, the proportion con tinues the same ; our colonies proper paying only one tenth of the cost of their own defence. And among the colonies 'there is a .greater disproportion, of the distribution of the Imperial expenditure. `1 ADDERLEY observed, that' so absurdly unequal was this distribution among the colonies 'themselves, that hp might almost say, as a general rule, those who ought to pay the least paid the most, and those who ought to pay the most paid the least. When, therefore, we .consider that at the present the whole military force, including militia, which we have at home, amounts to 11'0,000 men,., of which only 35,000 , could 'be brought into the field for , effective service ; that we have in India 85,000 European soldiers; indepen dent of native troops, subtracting the forces in Malta and Gibraltar; and other 'purely military stations; • , we have distributable among our colonies proper, all over the globe, to garrison our vast possessions of Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, only 22,000, men. This is, a force quite inadequate for their 'defence against any hostilo' aggression ; a source of no security to theco lo n ies, in which these Archaeologists, but by nerally, has been chiefly concerned, th h we must con ys foremos of the town is evinced by thos every intellectual and improving subject, rather than by public generally. , The Society, therefore, had oceasit o _ _ congratulate itself on several account proceedings was taken by the M Mayor himself, we find, beih ;hat the city was indebted for visit of so distinguished and learned a body.

Altogether, we repeat, the Arohwolog have had a very great treat, and must have left the off with many grateful recollections. during re clad to s, large and hi ghly influential meeting (1 has been held at C°l.' learn from the So - utltern Rep or; e for the purpose of extendin,% the west of that important count) Skibbereen and Bantry. The immediate object was t extension _of the Bandon Railway, which, it seems, lj hitherto failed .to pay, simply -because the line stoPP railway communication at Bandon, and did not penetrate the rich and . protlut districts lying towards the we s t ern sea b oard. " The sent project," it is stated, " supplies the short-coming former projectors, and will, if 'realised, as it'Ultimately' be, render the scheme, of railway communication in til great county perfect. • This undertaking must force it° upon the attention of capitalists. Its object is the extensi e of railway and' telegraphic communication f rom Cork i Skibbereen, Bantry, and the other principal towns in western part of this county—to its magnificent harbo ur ,' and its imp or t an t min eral and agricultural districts." P, enterprise . of this kind must possess great interest, eve tt ,, i this count r y, s i nce i t i s so eminently calculated to devell the resources o f I re l an d ; a n d 'thereby create fresh and'Pr‘w table markets for English prod uce , a t th e same t i me it in° increase the Irish supplies, "It must be anything but agreeable to the Liberals ii this country," says the Manchester Guardian, "to find o' l four Liberal members of the House have already be ei unseated for bribery." This candid confession and COls plaint is very significant. It is honourable to our conte o porary, we admit, to make So honest an acknowledgment g Liberal p r ofli gacy. t u f it shows that th e grea t f ac t catin' ni be denied or g l osse d over, that the popular Liberalism °i , the day i s n o w q ui te as. much identified with corruption. was ever, the ran k est T oryism of days gone by. Thy cases refeired to are those of WakeAeld and' Dartmout h ' for each o f which places a member h as b een unse ated on the sco re o f b r ib ery ; and that of Gloucester both t" ,, ,Liberal members for which have shared the same fa te ; The latte r case perliaps, — the wo r st o f all—one of worst, indeed, of which we have any records in the annu l ' of electioneering. An emissary of the London Refn, Club was sen t d own to the city With bags of gold, 15: he distributed with a lavish hand among the humblest do' of vote rs , f or t h e purchase of their, votes ; and this pole' , was constrained to state before the Committee that he re' ceived a note, requiring him to proceed to Gloucester on infdmous a mission, in Lord John Russell's committee -W it : in the City of L ondo n ! So that, it is evid en t, "the gre a t Liberal party" at head-qUarters had set in motion the O r chiiiery for bribery and corruption ; throughout the country at the last general election ; having first, of course, e, Prt)- vided th e necessary f un d s for the purpose. 'As a contr ast , to . these : cases , we , may f a i r l y present that of Mr. Asten; the Conservative mem b er f or A s hb urton, aga i nst whom tu charge of bribery a n d corrup ti on was got up, b ut w hiclt , when it came to b e examined, was found to be Utterly de' void of truth. We d o no t k no 4 t h at t h e Liberals hush actually come to m onopo li se altogether these c or rupt po c tices at elections ; but, undoubtedly, they now seem to tak the lead in them everywhere. We are sorry to learn that the forbearance of the mesh builders towards their men, which we remarked upon a cit., or two since, in thi s pa r t of our paper, is not, aft e r all/ i be extended so fa r as t o prevent that great calamity we hoped had been avoided. It is well described by th Artie& as " one of the greatest calamities which M befal an industrial nation ; a calamity, tdo, which fall most heavily on those whose wrong-headedness an folly are the causes of it." As we have already sh°; the workmen in the b u ildi ng trade have long bee, agitating for a reductibn of the hours of labour to nine, 111 ; stead of ten hours, on th e same wages ; and as the agitawto have mischievously induced a number of the workraell strike, on this account, the principal firms in the trade h ale at length resol ve d to close their establishments, rather t bs: s'abmit to such unwarrantable- dictation. The result
