jeopardy, but the convenience of the public in the impor-
tant matter of travelling, will lie at the mercy of those,
who have proved that they are totally unworthy of being
entrusted with any discretionary power. This is a responsi-
bility which the Government will hardly venture to undertake.
Let the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then follow out,
without flinching, the plan which he has laid down. Let
him, instead of narrowing, enlarge it, so as to embrace the
interests of those who travel by the Railways, as well as
of the Post-office, and we assure him that, although he
may incur the abuse of the self-interested monopolist, he
will have the feelings and the wishes of the cour.try hear-
tily on his side. The public are now convincei that
some legislative measure is imperatively called for, to
restore to them the rights of which they find that they have
been deprived by the Railway monopoly. Experience has
taught them what they have to expect from the tender
mercies of jobbing speculators.

The subjoined intelligence from Hanover will be read
with feelings of the liveliest interest by all who are in the
habit of paying any regard to the political movements of
JOHN BULL'S late German yokefellow. We confess we
begin to think better of the people of Hanover than we
ever did before. Their representatives have nobly dis-
charged their duty to themselves, their constituents, and
their country by the firmness with which they have hitherto
successfully resisted the despotic designs of the Royal
Grand Master of the Irish Orangemen. The journals
represent King ERNEST as driven to court the support of
the mobs in every city and town—his capital not excepted—
against the legitimate and patriotic influence of an upright
and incorruptible magistracy. On his birthday crowds of
the poorest artizans were permitted to tender him their con-
gratulations in person, while a Royal ordinance officially
announced that the Magistrates, having dared to contend
against the legality of abolishing the Constitution of 1833,
were forbidden to appear in the Royal presence. This
took place in the capital. From the annexed ex-
tracts from the German Papers, it is obvious that the
some insurrectionary game was played over again by him-
self and Von SCHELE on the 27th at Osnabruck, but with
what mertif)ing results will best appear by a reference to
the address of the Elders of the town on that memorable
occasion. As his MAJESTY has prorogued the Chambers,
preparatory to a dissolution of that refractory body, we re-
commend himself and Von SCHELE to try the effect of an
electioneering canvas all over the kingdom. The Carlton
Club can assist his MAJESTY with a brace or two of expe-
rienced vote purchasers.

HANOVER JUNE 2U.—The motion of M. Conrade that the discus-
sion of the Constitution should be deferred till the first Chamber should
have given its assent to the previous resolution of the second Cham-
ber was brought forward yesterday, and it was resolved to defer the
vote till next Tuesday. The motion of Syndic Lang, " that the Go-
vernment be called on for a positive assurance on the recognition of the
principle that a Constitution cannot be formed in a valid manner, ex.
cept with the concur. ence of the competent assembly of the Estates,''
'
will bedecided to.day.

P.S. In the afternoon.—After the commencement of the sitting, the
Chamber learnt that the first Chamber had rujected the motion of M.
Comrade as wholly inadmissible. On this Mr. Lang rose and withdrew
his abovementic,md motion; he probably had a presentiment that the
end was at hand. The new elected Member for Emden had just
entered the Chamber to take the oath, when the Secretary read a Royal
letter, da'ed o,lsabi tick, the 27th inst., by which the Assembly of the
Estates is prorogued sine die. 'I Isis was about 2 o'c!ock. The Mem-
bers immediately separated, and several of them leave Hanover to-day.
Persons who are wed informed have no doubt that the prorogation will
soon be folluwesi by a dissolution.

CSNAURUCK, JULY 2.3.—The King yesterday admitted to an audience
the elders of the town, who presented to him an address to the effect,
" That his Majesty would be phased graciously to grant to his faithful
subjects the continuance of the Constitution of 1833, that ever
memorable gift bestowed on the country by his Majesty King
'William IV." A petition which had above 300 signatures, though
it had only been circulated for one day, had led them to this
step. The King received them very graciously, took their petition,
aid said that the love of his subjects seas the sole principle
of his actions. The Magi,trates have had no audience. To the
address of the Burgomaster Stuve, which was conceived in vague
expressions on his entering the city, the King answered, " I know
that the citizens of Osnabruck are loyal and honest, when they
do not suffer themselves to be deceived by fine speeches. They
do not yet know me: they must become acquainted with me; they wilt
then see the Almighty knows that I speak the truth, that I mean well,
and desire to promote the interest of Osnabruck, and of the whole
cruntt y." The town of Quackenbruck has sent a deputation to express
its attachment to Vie King, and it is said has also presented a petition in
favour of the Constitution of Ism

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have all been received.
Their contents are interesting, particularly the following
gratifying communication, extracted from a letter from
Toulon, dated the 29th ult. :

" Yesterday, at sunset, all the ships in our roads fired a royal salute
of twenty.one guns. In the evening the Princess Charlotte was illu.
minated, and made a grand display of rockets and ether fireworks.
This scorning Admiral Stopford, with a large suite of officers, at-
tended by Captain Matterer, who is acting Major-General of the Ma-
rine at Toulon, came to the Arsenal and visited its establishments.
After a few hours they were joined by the Maritime Prefect, who,
being somewhat better, accompanied them to the ropery constructed
by Vauban, and the naval armoury, the artillery depot, the flock.
yards, and other objects of interest at the port. At six o'clock
the Prefect, the Sub-Prefect, and other officers, with M. Jouve, the
English Consul, %tent to dine with the English Admiral on board his
flag-ship. At this banquet, which was splendidly got up, everything
went off remarkably well, and the greatest cordiality existed between
the French and English officers. Numerous naval officers in the
British and Danish uniforms were seen parading our streets, but none of
the crews of the English ships have come on shore. The wind is blow-
ing strong from the north west, and the sea runs very high, but the
maritime Prefect had arrived safe on board the Princess Charlotte, and
was received with a salute of seven guns. It is to be remarked that
no English sqnadroh has come into our roadstead since 1793. Admi-
ral Stopford has consented to remain till the 10th of July, and the
fetes prepared for the occasion will take place with great eclat.
10,0001. have already been subscribed for the ball which will be given
on the 7th."

The happy coincidence between the friendly reception of
Marshal SOULT in London and the English fleet in the
harbour of Toulon, is dwelt upon with evident delight by
all the Liberal French Journals. But no observations
made thereon appear to us so forcible and so just as the
following brief remarks, extracted from the columns of the
Presse :

" These twe circumstances are the noblest acts of homage that for the
last 20 years hare been paid to the ascendancy of civilization. Between
the barren rock of St. Helena and Westminster Abbey, between 1821
and 1838, between Waterloo and Toulon, an age of time has elapsed—
a new world of ideas and interests has been created. It is also worthy
of remark that this grand revolution which has taken place in the rela-
tions existing between the two countries has been operated by the
people themselves, whose spontaneous inspirations have been merely
followed by their respective Governments."
The Chamber of Peers was engaged on Tuesday with
the reception of reports on Railway and other Bills of local
Interest.

A letter from Vienna of the 24th ult. states that a
strong feeling prevails in Hungary, particularly among the
Nobles and great commercial houses, against the aggres-
sive restrictions imposed by Russia upon the navigation of
the Danube. Proposals for resisting by force any attempt
to restrict Hungary in the free navigation of that river
were not only made but openly encouraged. These indi-
cations of a will, not easily controuled, may drive Prince
METTERNICH to draw closer the bonds of the amicable
alliance at present uniting Austria, England, and France.
Such an union—if cordially rendered available to
the great purpose of checking the grasping am-
bition of Russia—would soon quiet the appre-
hensions now entertained respecting the ultimate fate of
the Ottoman Empire. Austria, single-handed, is no longer
able to cope with the CZAR. Though one of the clearest-
sighted Statesmen in Europe, Prince METTERNICH, has
found it impossible to out-wit a Power before the talismanic
touch of whose gold every lock flies open—every secret is
disclosed. He bad to create a system and to organise a
means of conducting it ; whereas his great rival, NEssE,_
RODE, found a system which had been organized be-
fore the accession of CATHERINE ll.,—which had
never been allowed to stand still a moment, even during
the perpetration of imperial tragedies, —in effective
operation ; and from that system he never deviated
a hair's-breadth. Tho policy of METTERNICH is essen-
tially and necessarily pacific and conservative, because the
Austrian Empire is composed of large disjointedanmdua.bsosouetishd,
ready to fall asunder in a contest with an adjoining
Power. On the other hand the policy of Russia is, from
a necessity resulting from the ignorance of her barbarous
population, wholly aggressive. Repose would bring intelli-

that word be spoken, and t! e CZAR will find enough to de,
without meddling either with the Egyptian question, or the
navigation of the Danube. It will not be more difficult to
provide a King for Poland than it was to find Sovereigns
or Belgium and Grace—for it can no longer be contended
that NICHOLAS has not forfeited all claim to the protecto-
rate of that country.
