THE SUN, LONDON WEDNESDAY EVENING, IYI. AR C 12, 1851.

The remaining busines s was then disposed of, and the
House adjourned.

plex proceedings we have only too often ob-
served matter for our most serious and un-
compromising reprehension. In the eastern and the
western Archipelagoes, in Asia and in America, in
the north and i❑ the south, in both hemispheres, and
this, moreover, sometimes simultaneously, we have
recognized the evidences of what has appeared to us
the incapacity or the perverseness of the Noble Lord
the Colonial Secretary. We have raised our voices
at one time in terms of the profoundest indignation
against the shameful jobbing by which the noble
island of Vancouver was made over for a series of
years, almost unconditionally, to the directors of the
Hudson's Bay Company ; at another time we have
found ourselves compelled to lament the mismanage-
ment, under his auspices, of the land sales, more or
less, throughout our noble territories in Australia.
Everywhere, very nearly, we discovered only new
sources of annoyance, now at the rigour, and
now again at the weakness, of his tem-
perament in the direction of the interests of his
important and responsible office. And ever, we be-
lieve, have we shown ourselves ready to protest
against his policy under these very lamentable cir-
cumstances, and to proclaim him one of the cleverest
but, at the same time, one of the most blundering of
our administrators. Nevertheless, in all this we have
been far, we trust, from proving ourselves to be ac-
tuated by anything like feelings of a blind hostility.
In no instance have we betrayed a disinclination to
acknowledge the merit of the course pursued by Earl
GREY upon any occasion when, to our thinking, he has
evinced enlightenment or moderation, whether it may
have been directly on his own part, or indirectly on
the part of the subordinate colonial administrators.
Now, in reference to recent circumstances at the
Cape, we avowed only the other day, imme-
diately on the receipt of intelligence from that
possession, that we could perceive nowhere through-
out the whole of the transactions any wilful culpa-
bility in the local Government. A serious re-con •
sideration and re-examination of the uusLlers iu
question fail to alter our opinion in this particular.
We behold in this policy latterly carried out under
the personal superintendence of Sir Helm. SMITH,
only cause for very earnest felicitations. It is ob-
jected, as we have already intimated, that the officials
at the Cape have acted too stringently in pursuing
with such assiduous searches the fallen leader of the
late rebellion. In this view we can induce :ourselves
in no way to coincide. SANDILLI has shown himself
quite clearly enough to be a most dangerous character,
and one altogether devoid of any noble principles
whatsoever. To him were attributable the main
portion of the miseries brought upon the heads
of his compatriots and of the English colonists
,luring the continuance of their last contention for
mastery. It would, therefore, have been little less
than insanity to dream of preserving peace evi..ll the
Kafirs so long as he, of all men in Southern Africa,
remained as large. Events have only testified the
justice of such suspicions on the part of the Cape
authorities. For no very serious noubts can be en-
tertained that any other than SANDILLI has been the
principal instigator of the present rebellion. In con3e-
que.,nce cf his sinister advice the Kafirs have been
nnquestionably incited to adventure upon their
recent outbreak, for he of all men Ras the only one
likely to reap advantages from the agitation. At
bay, so to speak, with his pursuers, SANDILLI saw
that his wisest course, under all circumstances, would
be to call upon his quondam subjects to renew again
the struggle by which he had been deprived of the
powers of sovereignty. Hence the other wise inexplicable
explosion of fury which at one moment threatened to
prove destructive to Sir HARRY SMITH and his mili-
tary subordinates. Thanks, however, to the skill and
promptitude of the veteran conqueror of the Asiatics,
the ferocious turpitude of Africans proved in no mea-
sure successful. Surrounded as he was by a suddenly
collected swarm of antagonists, Sir HARRY neverthe-
less contrived to cut his way through to a position of
comparative security, and there to prepare for subse-
quent and greater dangers, by calling upon the
whole mass of the colonists to rise en masse in arms
at the summons of his energetic proclamation. Suffi-
cient time has, by this means, been obtained to enable
the Home Government to make all necessary efforts
for transmitting assistance to the Cape. No
sooner, indeed, had the disastrous intelligence
of the Kafir insurrection reached this coun-
try than preparations were at once commenced
with a view to forward Sir HARRY SMITH
the aid which, we doubt not, he has so earnestly and
feelingly desiderated. Exertions to this end have
already, it would appear, been made by Lord FITZROY
SOMERSET and other officials connected, not merely
with the Horse Guards, but with the Admiralty and
the Colonial-office in like manner—so that no anxiety
whatever reed be felt in regard to the consequences
of the insurrectionary movement. With a military
captain of such deserved repute, both as to prowess
and soundness of judgment, as Sir HARRY SMITH,
placed at the head of the local Government of the
Cape colonists, the people of this country have no
reason to be solicitous about the ♦igour of repressive
measures against the insurgents. Backed by the
prompt co-operation of administrators at home, that
distinguished warrior, we doubt not, will find new
opportunities for signalising his large and brilliant
capabilities, and of securing to himself, by his ad-
ministrative policy, as well as by his military achieve-
ments, an extension of his reputation.

Another Ministerial 3efeat—and what is more, a
defeat produced by the l ;rocs negligence and culpable
apathy of Ministers the .mselves. The gross misma-
nagement of the Crowii Lands is no new topic that
could take the members < of the Cabinet, individually
or collectively, by surprise. They have had fair
warning to remedy the abuses which had sprung up
during successive years, and which had rendered a
really valuable property comparatively unproductive
—two-thirds of the proceeds having been diverted
or made away with i n its progress to the
national Exchequer. A close and searching
investigation was institute ?,d, and through the exertions
of the Noble Lord the Member for Bath and the other
members of the Committi?e, matters were brought to

light sufficient to " fright; the isle from its propriety,"
and to indicate the imperative necessity of a large
and comprehensive measure of reform being speedily
introduced. But her MAJESTY'S Government obsti-
nately closed their ears against the well-founded com-
plaints that were preferred day by day, and resolutely
persisted in the " do-nothing policy" for which they
have been so justly celebrated_ The natural result
has followed. A private Member has been found
willing to undertake the duty which they had
disregarded, and the House willingly confided the
charge to the hands of one who had afforded such
conclusive evidence of his qualifications and effi-
ciency. Hence the defeat of last night, which, to a
Ministry of any strength and. any character, would
be exceedingly injurious, if not absolutely ruinous, but
which is a matter of but trivial importance to the
worthy officials in their pre sent state of transition,
ere the unsightly crawling .grub has burst forth into
the gaudy soaring butterfly-
It is impossible to speak: too highly of the admi-
rable statement of Lord au SCAN in asking permission
to introduce his Bill. All, the facts of the case were
clearly and distinctly set. forth, and the evils and
iniquities of the present sy stem exhibited in all their
naked deformity. When we learn that during the
seven years, from 1842 t o 1848, the aggregate in-
come derived from these sources had amounted to
2,446,7851., of which only 774,0001., or little more
than 30 per cent. on the sum collected, had found its
way into the national Exchequer, while the remaining
1,672,7851., or nearly 70 per cent. of the entire,
was expended for cost of management and other
charges—the bill of the London solicitors alone
during that period being 79,2411., or 11,3201.25. 10d.
per annum. Pretty pickings this, especially when we
recollect that the solicitor in Ed inburgh contrived to
obtain an average of 3,0001. per annum, and that the
solicitor in Dublin had his bilk also, the exact amount
of which had not been a.,ce)lained, but which we
may reasonably assume not to be less than those of
his Scottish colleague ; so that law alone has cost
about 18,000/. per annum in this department, ex-
clunive of the bills charged to purchasers from, or
tenants of, the Crown on t'ae execution of transfers or

leases.

It may be asserted that this er ormous sum has not
been altogether applied to the expenses of manage-
ment; that 116,9201. had during that period been
expended on the Victoria Park, and that 145,269/.
remained to the credit of the. land revenues of
the Crown, in the month of April, 1849. Be
it so, even that will not materially improve the
matter. "Without questioning the propriety of re-
taining so large a sum on hand, a matter by no
means clear, we may observe, tb at there is still
1,410,0001. to be accounted for; and we care not
whether the stoppage be 60 or 7"0 per cent. on the
gross amount collected. Either is sufficiently bad to
demand a total alteration in the system. What would
a nobleman or gentlemen say to the steward who
made away with two-thirds, or even of one-half of
the proceeds of his property, leaving the balance only
for the private use of his maste r ? Would not the
unprofitable servant be dismissed with ignominy and
disgrace from his situation and a more judicious and
economical management introduced ? Unquestion-
ably so; and the nation should act in like manner,
and take every necessary precorution to render the
national domains as productive and profitable as pos-
sible, so as to alleviate the burdens .3n the oppressed
tax-payers.
But it is said that there are a -vox iety of old pay-
ments that are satisfied from these swmrces, without
coming under the cognizance of Parlitament. Against
this unconstitutional prcekeding we 'Loudly and em-
phatically protest. We assert that P vliament should
have the full and unqualified control 'over every shil-
ling of expenditure, and that any attoinpt to interfere
with that control is an act of tree ,on against the
majority of the people. These stoppages in transitu
at present amount to no less than 76a,9261. 4s. -lid.
per annum, and are made from divers sources—from
the Customs, from the Excise, fro m :the Post-office,
from the taxes, and from the Crown lands. It is thug
that the Duke of GRAFTON draws 10,599/. 2s. annu-
ally-7,1911. 12s. from the Excise, 'and 3,4071. 105.
from the Post-office. It is thus that the Earl Cow-
reit enjoys his 1,5951. 165., and the fortunate assig-
nees of the late CHARLES Boom 2,200/. a year ;
that the Duke of MARLBOROUGEI is a pensioner for
4,0001., and that the heirs of the Duke of SCHWA-
BERG take 2,9001. annually to Holland- If these ini-
quities were periodically brought under the
Legislative notice, they could not have con-
tinued up to this time; but, unfortunately,
they remain shrouded in obscurity. Former
Cabinets, who made grants to their own followers,
would not encourage so bad a precedent as to make
any impertinent inquiries; and Lord JOHN is too
firm a friend to the "Dukery" to interfere unduly
with the snug pickings, the comfortable "swag" of
two of the ornaments of the order. 'Thus it is that

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They all publish the following " communicated" note:
" 'rho President of the Republic evil review on Wed-
nesday four regiments, preparatory to their quitting

The President has given orders that no cries shall
ba uttered by them while under arms."
The negotiations for a fusion between the two
branches of the BOURBONS have gone off.
The Constitutionnel says:—
" If we are well informed, and we believe we are, the
Princes of the House of Orleans, consulted on a subject
which so deeply interests them, have declared that they
will only negotiate on the soil of France, and that they
will abstain from all political questions while they are
out of their country. This declaration, made in the most
precise terms, is not of ancient date; it is quite recent,
and even posterior to the vote of the Assembly on the
proposition of M. Creton, and consequently to all that
journalists have drawn upon their imagination to say, to
contradict, to publish, to contest, and to refute on the
question of the fusion of the two branches."

these abuses have gone on increasing in enormity,
year after year, until they have become " aged vices,"
and that still nothing is done to remove stains so
foul as to reflect disgrace on every person sanctioning,
or in any degree conniving at their continuance.
We find that in almost every reign the revenues
of the Crown have been lavished away upon the fa-
vourites of the Monarch or the toadies and followers
of the Minister for the time being. But the
" faithful Commons" generally found a means
of remedying the evil. At the commencement
of each reign, and generally when called
upon to vote supplies, the representatives of the
people insisted on the resumption of these improvi-
dent grants, which were held to be valid only during
the lifetime of the Sovereign by whom they were
made, and not to be bindivg upon his succes-
sors. What charm then is there in the
cases of the Dukes of GRAFTON, MARLBOROUGH,
or SCNOMBERG, of Earl COWPER, or of the assignees
of CHARLES BooNE, that they are to be considered
sacred and intangible? Is it because, in place of being
issued out of real estates, that they are charges on
every draught of beer quaffed by the thirsty labourer,
or on every letter transmitted through the Post-

It would appear from an article in the Journal des
D4bats that an attempt has been made by the Legi-
timatists to bully the Princes of the House of Orleans
into submission. " They require," says the Debats,
" an immediate and absolute submission, a formal
disavowal of 1830, and of 18 years of reign, or the
eventual rights of the Princes of Orleans to the suc-
cession of the Duke of BORDEAUX shall be transferred
to the Spanish branch of the Bourbons." The
Daats then proceeds to comment on the project of
fusion thus :

" The fusion, if it ever be possible, if at a given pe-
riod it be the means reserved by Providence to unite all
parties and to save France, ought not to be exaggerated
by puerile discussions, nor reduced to a mere intrigue or
even an affair of party. Th© moment should not be pre-
cipitated. The fusion will never be a real one unless France
effects it, and until it be in the hearts of all before it be in
the mouths of the few. The fusion will be easy when it is
the only thing to be concluded, and that France shall have
signed the treaty. We answer beforehand for the
Princes of the House of Orleans, without even consulting
them, that their interests will not for a minute retard the
accomplishment of the universal wish. They will very
naturally enjoy their rank as Princes of the blood, of
which France will not deprive them when re-esta-
blishing the Monarchy, and which no one will dispute to
them. As for the present, if they did anything against
the fusion they would merit reproach, and it might be
believed that they preferred their own personal ambi-
tion to the means of salvation for France, and that they
claimed all or nothing. But to reproach them with
their silence; to allege it as a crime that they remain
tranquil; to be angry that they make no act of submis-
sion of any kind except to the National Sovereignty;
that they do not disavow the memory of their father;
that they do not disavow themselves; that, in a word,
conformably to all the traditions of their family, they
await the will of France and do not dictate theirs, is
neither reasonable nor just. Moreover, if the letter of
the Duke of Bordeaux is regarded as a friendly invita-
tion, it will be admitted that the vote of the Ist of
March and the speech of M. Berryer are not such as to
claim much gratitude. The fusion will be accom-
plished when it shall please heaven and the country,
This is what we desire to say, once fur all, on this grave
question.'
The Bonapartist Pays has the following on the sub-
ject of the Orleans family :
" The Independance of Brussels announces that the
Orleans family is about to leave Claremont so as not to
be in England during the Exhibition. The Queen, it
says, will go to Brussels; the Duke of Nemours to his
father•in-law; the Prince de Joinville either to Scotland
or to Portugal; and the Duke d'Aumale to Naples.
ab3enc. of the family will cantina,: as loug ss the
Exhibition lasts. It will be remarked that the fusionist
journals last week mentioned the probability of the
Count de Chambord's visiting London during this very

office ? These matters must be attended to, and that
speedily. No Government can continue in office
that will not heartily and effectively enter upon the
work of reform.

Again, why should woods and forests, containing
110,000 acres of valuable land prove darnnove heredi-
tates, sources of loss, and nut of profit ? They might
easily be disposed of for two-and-a-half or three mil-
lions sterling, and the amount might be applied to
many valuable purposes. But the Whigs would per-
severe in their old jog-trot movement until they
received a significant hint to expedite their
progress. That they have just got through the in-
strumentality of Lord DUNCAN, and if they are not
prepared to act thereon, they should make up their
minds to relinquish the positions of which they are
unworthy, and to make way for better men.

SANDILLI has, according to some, beenunlefao
dertur-
s
nately too much the object of anxiety with the
of the Cape Government. But for the needless per-
tinacity with which they have endeavoured to hunt
darorgni theine s
might
fa e n chieftain of the Kafirs, those luckless
never have been driven into their
c presentnjectu conjectures
ofteof insurrection ; such, at least, are the
o
a certain class of unreasoning de-
claimers against the policy pursued by the Colonial
Administration. No one can reasonably charge us
with anything like a predilection for the system
adopted by the Earl GREY in the conduct of his par-
ticular department. Our task has, unhappily, been
but too frequently that of directing general attention
to what we have conceived to be the culpability of his
method of superintending the affairs of our remote
possessions. Throughout the whole of his com-

Exhibition, and now we learn that the Orleans family
leaves London as soon as the Count de Chambord ap-
proaches it."

for the lower grades, which constitute an unusually large
proportion of the stock, while at the same time they are -
almost wholly unsaleable. In qualities from middling
upwards there is comparative steadiness and firmness,
they being less plenty and more inquired for. Although
some parties are drawing conclusions from the late large
supplies, favourable to their large crop estimates, most
well-informed persons find therein no reason to change
their views of the probable total yield, as the present
large receipts are accounted for by natural eauses, and
do not come unexpected. If the abundance of poor and
trashy Cottons now coming to market indicate anything
at all, the inference that the tail end of the crop is
coming in seems certainly permitted. The most gene-
ral estimates still run from 2,100 to 2,200 m bales.
" We have again to report a very quiet market for
Tobacco, and transactions are confined to small sales of
old crop, which, in the finer grades, fetch very full
prices. Of new crop Tobacco there have not yet been
any transactions of sufficient amount to establish market
rates, and therefore its value is still nearly nominal. Wo
are sorry to be unable to report any amelioration in the
quality of the new weed, and the proportion of really
fine Tobacco is very small indeed.
" A remarkable feature in the Tobacco business this
year is the falling off in the exports to the continental
markets of Europe, whilst, for instance, the exports to
Bremen amounted to 3,419 hhds. last year at this period,
they are only 884 hhds. this season, and of this small quan-
tity 676 hhds. are stems. The shipments to other ports
on the continent are nearly in the same proportion, as
our table below indicates. It appears that the high
prices prevailing, and the indifferent quality of the new
Tobacco, are impediments in the way of shipments; and
as these causes are not likely to be soon removed, the
markets abroad will probably feel the natural influence
of very light supplies.
The supply of the California market by the shippers
of goods from the Atlantic ports, does not appear to
have afforded them any large return. It is said that a
very large proportion of the cargoes sent out have been
sold at a loss to the shipper, in many cases the returns
not paying freight and charges. This, undoubtedly,
' arises from the sudden changes in the market, from the
merchants not understanding its true character, and, in
some cases, from the roguery ef San Francisco
agents, who encourage shipments by exaggerated
tales. An article is said to be very scarce, and to
command a high price. The New York merchant
ships a supply of the description of goods required
in one of the fast vessels engaged in the trade, at a high
rate of freight, a dollar and a qaarter par cubic foot
being sometimes paid; others fellow his example, both
in his own city and in other Atlantic ports, and the ship-
ment finds the market glutted, and the goods not worth
more than the freight and the high charges of landing
and selling them.
In the Amsterdam Stock market on the 10th inst. the
Funds tended upwards, but there was not much anima-
tion. Duch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were 57te
Spanish Bonds were more offered.
In a letter addressed by Mr. Francis Lyne to the mer-
chants, bankers, traders, and others, of Great Britain,
various excellent illustrations are given of the heavy
losses and vexatious delays imposed upon the mercantile
community by the present defective system of law, and
additional facts are brought forward to prove the urgent
necessity for tribunals of commerce. Foreign
merchants look upon England, in the midst of all her
refinements, as in a state of barbarism without a
tribunal of commerce, as in their respective countries
they enjoy the advantages that spring from courts of re-
conciliation and of arbitration, and from tribunals of
commerce. Abroad, it is the province of such courts to
ward off, as Mr. Lyne describes it, "Irons commercial
men the heavy and useless expenses of the superior
courts, into which a business dispute cannot be carried
unless both parties first appear before the judge of the
tribunal of commerce, whose business it is to try to in-
duce the parties to agree to a reference, and in case of
his failing by the stubbornness of one, he gives a certi-
ficate which secures the party who agrees to refer from
all future expenses, whether he win or lose in the superior
courts." In England the interest of some of the legal
fraternity is to " blow a trifle into a costly suit," ac-
cording to the system which Sir John Romilly described
as being " invented for the creation of costs, and not for
the due administration of justice."
There is a dull market for Public Securities, and
prices are not buoyant. Consuls have been 96i for
Transfer, and 96a for April. The renewed defeat of
Ministers upon the Woods and Forests seems to have
no particular or immediate effect, but certainly is
regarded as unfavourable to the due administration
of the affairs of the country. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 99 to 99i, and the Three
