bably elapse before India can be governed otherwise
than by the sword ; bat the time baa already come
when the Government of India and its Annie. must
command respect by their moral qualities—when
with every year greater deference mast be paid to
local pablic opinion.

AN attempt is likely to be made, we understand,
to prevent any discussion on Mr. BERKELEY'S motion
for the Ballot. Various pretexts, more or leas un-
worthy, are assigned in justification of this design.
To the idlers who only want an additional evening
to devote to pleasure it is only necessary to whisper,
" Get rid of the bore of a debate on the Ballot as you
did the other day of a debate on the Oaths Bill;
keep up an incessant row from half-past six to coven
o'clock, and you may count securely on being able to
brat an early division, and a whole night free to do
what you like with." There seems to be quite as
large a class in the new House of Commons with
wham such considerations are paramount as there
ever was; and we have very little doubt that if
those who call themselves the sincere friends of
liberty of Election show any disposition to suc-
cumb to the species of bullying we advert to it will
be successful. Every great measure of progress has
had to encounter this description of tactics at some
period or other—generally when it seemed to have
arrived at the point of being formidable, and of im-
pedance in party calculations.
It will, perhaps, be said that Lard PALMER-
STON having notified his intention of not beim
present, it would be useless to argue the question
at any length. Now, what does this 'maguey lsele
mean ? Does anybody suppose that a Prime MAW
who wishes to retain power will ever be converted on
a question of popular right until after a majority of
the House of Commons are ? The business of those
who advocate reforms for the purpose of carrying
them is to appeal in succession to all the interests
and feelings by which the community and its elec.
tire representatives are swayed, confident that when-
ever the battle of moon is fairly won with them, or
looks like winning, the man at the helm will quietly
put about, and sail the ship quietly into the midst of
the victors. We have seen this done so frequently
by sacosesive Premiers that we have come, in fact,
to regard it u a matter of course. The Duke of
WELLINGTON, Lord MELBOURNE, Sir ROBERT PEEL,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Lord ABERDEEN have
each in turn consented to haul down the flag of un-
availing resistance, and to hoist the standard he had
spent half a life in refusing to acknowledge ; and
probably the most facile proselyte on great points of
policy that ever held the reins of power is the versa-
tile Viscount who at present presides over the coun-
sels of her MAJESTY.

To all intents and purposes, therefore, the noble
lord may just as well be occupied in partaking of
the hospitalities of Manchester as in listening to
arguments for and against Mr. Btanxxer's motion.
If the new House of Commons does not contain ten
or a dozen men sufficiently in earnest about the
matter to devote one night to its elucidation and
enforcement, it would be idle and impudent hypo-
crisy to pretend to expect that Lord PALNIERSTOIC
will give it even a consideration in framing his con-
templated Reform Rill. A constitutional Minister of
England thinks with 638 brains; and unless you can
affect these, you cannot influence him.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR OF
AT HAMBURG.

(YRON OUR OWN CORRISTONDENT.)
HAMBURG, Berraney, Ji NZ 27.
At nine o'clock this morning signals were made
by the look-out people at Buick, the outer headland
of the harbour of Kiel, indicating the approach of
' the imperial flotilla, which entered the inner harbour
at eleven o'clock, the steam frigate with the Emperor
and Empress on board mooring alongside the landing
jetty. . . . .

Prince Ferdinand of Denmark, the King's uncle
and immediate successor to the throne, having been
commissioned by the King to receive and welcome
the Emperor, arrived at Kid last evening from
Copenhagen, and slept at the palace usually inha-
bited by the Duke of Gllicksburg. It may be men-
' tioned as a significant fact that the Danish prince
selected to welcome the Emperor is the last living
scion of the direct lino of the Dukes of Holstein-
Gottorp, from which also the Emperor is descended.
After a short interview between the Emperor and
the Danish prince, during which the Russian impe-
rial flag was saluted with a royal salute from the
Danish frigate Heimdal, at anchor in the harbour of
Kid, the distinguished travellers entered the special
train, and at about half-past one o'clock the imperial
swage arrived at Albans. Here the carriages
sent oat from Hamburg were in waiting to
convey the travellers to this city. The pro-
cession consisted of about forty carriages.
At a quarter-past two this afternoon, tho cortege
entered the city, and drove to the Hotel do l'Europe,
on :the Jungferustieg, where they sleep to-night.
The Chevalier do Kudriaffsky preceded the proces-
' don, and by a short cut arrived at the hotel in time
to receive the imperial party. In the first carriage,
driven by Herr Lauenstein himself, and preceded by
outriders in the Russian court livery, sat the Emperor
and Empress, with their eldest son and daughter, the
Grand Duke Nicholas (born September 20, 11113),
and the Grand Duchess Alexandra, together with
the emperor's youngest brother, the Grand Duke
Michael (born October 23, 1832). On their arrival
at the gates of the city they were received and wel-
comed by Senator Godeffroy and Syndics Merck on
the part of the Senate. The Emperor having inti-
mated his wish to retain his incognito and :decline
all formalities and festivities, the only public de-
monstration to be made is a serenade and illumina-
tion, with a brilliant display of fireworks, to take
place this evening on the beautiful basin of the
Inner Alster, under the windows of the Hotel de
l'Europe.
As the arrangements stand at present the impe.l
dal party MOB the Elbe to-morrow morning at nine
eslock, as based the Hamburg steamer Heligoland,
width the owner (M. Senator Godcffroy) has placed
at tilisErsparcr's disposal. On their arrival at Har-
burg they proceed to Hanover by special train, dine
with the court of Hanover at the summer residence
of Herrenhausen, and then go on by special train to
the University of Gottingen, where they sleep that
night, and proceed the next day to Kisaingcn. There
they join the Dowager Empress, who is drinking the
waters of that fashionable bathing-place.
