LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1856.

- _.

The illustrious Consort of Queen VICTORIA, it
will be remembered, took occasion a little more
than a year ago to assert that the British Consti-
tution was thou upon its trial. A discovery of
wonderful sagacity, announced to the world by
H.R.H. at a certain Trinity House Banquet, at
which there was actually present—listening with
courtier-like complacency to this very astounding,
and, let us venture to add, also perfectly preposter-
ous revelation—the Noble Lord the present Prime
Minister of England. H.R.H. declared that
nowadays, positively in the middle of the nine-
teenth century, our representative institutions
were upon their trial ; meaning, of course, in
other words, that we had yet to discover, by the
testa of experiment, by the results of experience,
whether or not the country should adhere to the
existing system of Govern went. Le mediate'y at the
time when this monstrous ab.urdity fell from the
lips of H. R. H. we raised our voice in indignant
protest against the insinuation, as one to our
thinking (no matter by whom uttered) very little
short of Vise majestg to the Constitution.
The whole circumstance of the case has been
recently recalled to popular remembrance by au
incidental allusion to it, contained in the recently-
published Address to the people of the United States
reprinted in extenso, in our impression of Tues-
day evening, the frank and genial expostulatory
Address prepared by the Liverpool Financial
Association. Tcwards the conclusion of that
address, it is remarked by the President of
the Society, speaking on the part of his
associates, " We were told by our Prince
Consort during the late War, that that
War had put representative institutions
on their trial, and that it might be fouud neces-
sary to diminish our present freedom both of
speech and publication. This was the captious
objection of an individual whose residence among
us seems not yet to have eradicated the despotic
leanings contracted by his continental birth and
breeding." Precisely. And the fact that it was
so, the fact that it is so, should not, we conceive,
be overlooked for one moment now that that War
during Which this
extraordinary declaration on
the part of Hata'
was made, has been brought to
a disgraceful terniination.;, It should not be forgot-
ten that that opinion was actually uttered by the
Prince Consort, and that it was complacently lis-
tened
to without a murmur by Viscount PALMER
STON. The extravagantly absurd and wholly un-
constitutional opinion that our representative
system of Government is now—now midway in
the 19th century—" upon its trial !" Upon its
trial !—now—notwithstanding the thousand years
whin have elapsed from the days of EGBERT down
to the days of—ALaxar ! Upon its trial !—now—
in spite of the momentous events which have,
century after- century, reign after reign, almost
we might say, decade after decade, enabled the
old, rugged, immature, Anglo-Saxou Mickle-
Synoths or Witena-Gemots to devolope by
little and little, slowly but surely (as an
acorn grows up into an oak), into our
present annual gathering at WeAtminster of the
Lords and Couiuions in Parliainen, assembled.
Yet—the growth of centuries though they are—
these representative institutions of ours are
formally pronounced by H. R. H. to be
now now ! actually now " upon their
trial ! " A. very curious discovery truly
—one that could alone he expected from
a Prince nurtured under the shadow of the Ger-
manic Confederation. Certainly not the kind of

revelation to be looked for from any free-born
Englishman. A rather sad discovery too,
remembering that the heir of H. R. H. is
heir also to the Crown of England. That
England, the representative institutions of whose
Government are said by H. R. H. to be
now, in 1855 or 1856, "upon, their trial"—that
England of which the Great National Poet has
written so majestically—speaking of it as—

" Hedged in with the main,
That wafer-walled bulwark, still secure
And confident from foreign pnrpoiies !"

That England of whom he has elsewhere sung so
proudly—
" This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war ;
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea
Which servos it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands ' •
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England;
TE\is land of such dear soul., this dear, dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world
England bound in with the triumphant sea
Whose rocky shore beats backs the envious siege
Of wat'ry Neptune :"
that England, in allusion to whose fortunes in
another part he haughtily exclaims in words fa-
miliar to us all--
"Nought shall make us rue
If England to herself do rest but true :"

of whose future he asseverates with an air so proud
and defiant—" This England never did, nor never
shall, lye at the proud foot of a conqueror !"
Perennial its liberty is, unfading its glory, lasting
are its institutions, indestructible (humanly speak-
ing) its manner of Government, according to the
patriotheart and judgment of that eminent co untry-
gentleman of Warwickshire, Master SHA.KSPERE,
sometime play•actor in Queen ELIZA.BETECS good
City of London. Nearly three hundred years go
by after the memorable date when WILLIAM
SHAKSPERE lived and died—and then lo ! and be-
hold, all at once, at a certain Trinity House
Banquet, H.R. H. the Prince Onsort suddenly
discovers, with astonishing sagacity, that Eng-
land is but now, that English institutions
are but now, that the British Constitution is
but now (when everybody else had fondly
imagined it to be sound and stalwart to the
heart's core, like its emblem-oak)--" upon its
trial !" Bluff old Farmer Bull is fairly puzzled
by the revelation. Upon its trial I—he asks, him-
self bewildered—England, or Germany ? The
patriotism and wisdom of H.R.H., or the patriot-
ism and wisdom of SHAKSPERE ?

It is to be hoped that the answers of the Eng-
lish Government to the despatches of the Cabinet
at Washington announcing the dismissal of Mr.
CaAMPTON, and the views entertained respecting
the Central American questions, may speedily be
laid upon the tables of both Houses, and thence
communicated to the country. We know the fact
that Mr. DALLAS is to be retained, notwithstand-
ing the insult offered to the British Minister, and
through him to the SOVEREIGN and People of the
United Kingdom. There will be no suspension
of diplomatic intercourse between the two great
branches of the Anglo-S Igoe race. But still we
owe it to ourselves to remonstrate earnestly and
emphatically against the wanton outrage to which
we have been subjected--an outrage which might
have produced very deplorable results. We are
not to receive our castigation with the fawning
submission of a beaten hound, that was ready to
lick the hand that had just administered stripes
and punishment. We must, so far as prac,icable
under the circumstances—at best a very difficult
task—endeavour to maintain our own self-respect
and the respect of the rest of the world. The
appearance of " pocketing the affront" must ne-
cessarily inflict a heavy blow and great discou-
ragement to that prestige whie's we have made so
many sacrifices to preserve unimpaired, and while')
I we succeeded in doing until the unconstitutional
influences of Germanism tarnished our well-estab-
-1 lished reputation.

We could better afford to receive an affront
from the Spanish Government than from that of
the United States. No rational man could for a
moment suppose that there could be any imputa-
tion of cowardice in refraining from pressing to
extremity the insult offered by Spain to our ambas-
sador some eight years since. We could not be
frightened at any possible consequences arising
from a war with that degenerated power. Bat
still wo repeated the movement, by relieving M.
IsTuraTz from his diplomatic duties at the Eng-
lish Court, and refusing to receive the special
Envoy despatched by the Spanish Court, or to
listen to the explanations which he was instructed
to offer respecting the untoward transaction. Wt,
have acted more mildly towards the more powerful
nation, and there will not bewae,tinganahundanco
of " d--1 good-naured friends" ready to ascribe
the most despicable motives for this extraordinary
forbearance to a powerful antagonist. Wo must
then make the best of a very bad job, and endea-
vour so to conduct ourselves that the untoward
affair may not constitute a precedent. If we
swallow this leek patiently, and'without energetic
remonstrance, we may be treated to many repe-
titions of the unsavoury banquet. We may oven
find the Neapolitan Donkey inflicting severe
kicks on the well-tamed Lion.

The rejection of General PIERCE as the Demo-
cratic candidate is unquestionably a great point.
Had he been re-elected there would have been
ut slight hopes of avoiding the conflict' which
he so recklessly provoked. But, although a posi-
tive evil has been averted, we cannot yet predi
c de with any amount of certainty the course that
may be adopted by his successor. Tile manifesto
published by the Convention at Cincinnati—
which appeared in our impression of yes-
terday—proves that while giving such strik-
ing evidence of good-will on one point, the
electors of the Democratic section still uphold
what they denominate " the sacred principles of
the MONROE doctrine, and their binding import,"
which, as they state, "admits of no misconstruc-
tion, and should be applied with unbending
rigidity." There are also assertions respecting
" preponderance" and "ascendancy," and expres-
sions of "sympathy " for the efforts made by the
people of Central America—i.e., the Walkerite
filibusters--to regenerate that portion of the Con-
tinent which covers a passage across the Oceanic
isthmus, which bear a sinister aspect, and seem
to prove that there is still a determination to
maintain the aggressive positions assumed by the
PIRRCE-MAECY Cabinet. We know, too, that the
cho:tea Candidate, Mr. BUCHANAN, declared that
there w— ms nothing on which to arbitrate respect-
ing the Central
American questions. It is true
that, at that time,
he was only obeying the
instructions which he had received from the
Government by vrhieh he was appointed, and that
his own personal views may not
go the full extent
of what he was then bound to argue, but still, we
cannot at once conclude that everything is to be
regarded as catdeur de rose, and that all difficul-
ties have at once terminated. As we have already
stated, we can look forward more hopefully to the
future ; but still these favourable anticipations
must, for a time, at least, be clouded by grax,
apprehensions of coming storms in the political
atmosphere.

Besides, great mischief may yet be effected
during, the brief tenure of office still remaining to

President PIERCE. Under our institutions, when
an Administration has forfeited the confidence of
the country, it forthwith makes way for a new
party, pledged to views more in accordance with
the voice of pubic opinion. It is not so with the
United States. There the mischief may be con-
summated, notwithstanding the clearly-expressed
disapproval of the people. The Government,
however unpopular it may be, still retains office
for the time originally fixed under very different
circumstances, and may persevere in its mischie-
vous course until the impending danger is con-
summated, and the evil becomes irreparable.
It is not yet certain that even Mr. BUCHANAN
will be elected. There ►ill still be a sharp strug-
gle for the high honour. We must, for the pre-
sent, be content with knowing that General
PIERCE'S chances have been set aside, and whoever
may be the new President, it will not be the man
who offered a wanton insult to the British Govern-
ment.

A Protest, drawn up with care by Lord OYER-
STONE, and signed by him and by Lord MONT-
EIGLE, must be worthy of respeotful attention.
Under not fewer than eight heads do they record
in the journals of the House of Lords their objec-
tions to the Limited Liability Bill, which has just
passed its second reading there. We have exa-
mined every paragraph of this document, and while
it is well worth the attention of all who may take
shares in joint-stock concerns, and all who may
have dealings with them, we must affirm that
logically the Protest answers itself. It starts with
an objection which meets most of the following
seven. It begins by affirming that the bill is not
necessary, because liability need not be incurred
in trade. Liability "is the result of taking
credit, or trading upon borrowed capital.
Limited Liability, therefore, is a measure of pro-
tection, not to the capitalist, great or small, but
to the speculator, who wishes to trade for his
own; profit with the capital, and at the risk of
others."

According to this statement the authors of
"liability" are those who give credit. Lord OYER-
STONE must admit that there could be no " takers
of credit" if there were none who gave it. The
evils predicted in his eight paragraphs could all
be prevented by the givers of credit watchfully
doing their part. If every concern can keep, as
Lord OTER.S7ONII asserts it can, within its own
capital, then why allow capitalists to tempt it by
too easy accommodation, to employ theirs. We do
not, however, accept Lord OTERSTONB'S first pro-
position without qualification ; doubtless, col-
lecting and utilising the spare capital of the com-
munity is one of the chief features of banking ;
but we fully accept what it implies—namely,
that those who give credit are the first
cause of others' liability, and that therefore
they should be made their own guardians. No
capitalist is compelled to lend, no seller is obliged
to trust ; these are, as Lord OYEESTONE asserts,
not necessary incidents to trade. If, therefore,
persons will do what is not necessary, why should
the chief or the entire calamity fall on one
side—the weaker side only ? The seducer, in
another branch of morals, we know, is the least
sufferer ; but that is no reason why the commer-
cial seducer should be so too. Whoever lends
another capital, or goods, for it is essentially the
same thing, would benefit the borrower as well as
himself by obtaining adequate proof of his com-
petency to repay.
Apply, then, Lords OvansTortit and MoNTEAGLE'S
Ist objection and leading principle, that traders
should limit themselves to their own capital ; and
let us see how it meets the other objections.—
Objection 2. The bill will enable persons to limit
their loss, but leave their hope of gains unre
stricted, and thus tempt persons to gambling with
the money of others. But, how so, if they confine
themselves to their own capital and if they do not
" take credit?"—Ohjection 3. Reckless enterprise
generated by limitation of risk ; and fraudulent
abstraction under the name of profits or interest,
of what should be the debtor's security. But objec-
iion No. 1 says that it is not necessary to " take
credit," and there -would be no debtors, therefore, to
need security. Objection 4is included in objection
3; it only explains, and correctly, thephilcsophy of
trade profits, and defines the portion which ought
not to be withdrawn as such. Objection 5. It
will transfer capital from cautiously-conducted
eoncerns to companies, who, shielded by liuita-
tiou, will trade recklessly, escape themselves, and
involve their creditors. But how involve their
creditors if they don't " take credit." Objection
6. It will restrict credit by depriving commerce
)f its present high moral character. We were
not aware that commerce enjoyed such a high
moral character. Certainly " startling disclosures,"
large failures," " imm:mse frauds," and the like
have furnished wonderment enough of late to those
who hunt our columns for the marvellous, and we
are sorry to say we have always had such things
to record. Objection No. 1 denies the necessity
of "taking credit." Where the harm, therefore,
of restrior,ing it ? Objections 7 and 8 relate to
the time of introducing the measure. It is
brought forward just when bullion is likely to be
returned and increased largely, money to be plen•
tiful, and speculation to become rife. To which we
reply, Lord OTERSTONN must take the consequences
of his own favourite Bank Act, but they have
nothing to do with liberating persons from
artificial restraints in the employment of their
capital at any time. And his not " taking-credit"
system would prevent all mischief.
Nor are we in these remarks taking advantage
of any mere oversight of so acute a thinker. The
whole controversy turns upon whether credit shall
be left like farming, shipbuilding, and everything
else, to look after itself. As his Lordship says, no
man is compelled to take it—certainly no one is
compelled to give it. Material guarantees, or the
guarantee of character will, under any system,
have their proper worth ; credit given on the
former is not, properly speaking, credit, it is
only " mobilising" capital ; credit given on the
latter, ought not to be given at all,
without, some knowledge of the moral and
commercial habits of the parties ; and as it is not
a " necessary incident to trade," those who give
it to limited liability companies do what is not
necessary, and must abide by the risk. The real
objection to the Limited Liability Bill, is that it
abolishes the monopoly of the great bankers and
commercial capitalists. We do not deny that
the new liberty like, liberty of all kinds, will be
abused, but we prefer liberty instructed by its
own errors, in this as in other things, to the
tutelage of aristocracy or despotism. We had
rather burn our fingers now and then than work
in Lord OTERSTON E'S chains.

The subject to which the attention of the House
of Lords was last night directed by the Earl of
MALMESDIIRY is one which will excite much sym-
pathy throughout the country. The fate of poor
Capt.
,ThomrsoN, and even more that of his
bereaved relatives, has indeed something very
touching about it. After having undergone all
the labours, dangers, and suffering incident to the
defence of Kars, and arrived in safety like his noble
brother officers in England, and been welcomed to
the bosom of his family,
to die a worn-out man
before the expiration of four days, and ere a grate.

ful people could testify their admiration of his
heroic conduct, seems very hard. Still harder ,
the fate of his mother and relatives, who, after
having experienced the greatest anxiety for his
safety during the siege, and subsequently as a
Russian prisoner, had that anxiety in a great
measure removed by the tidings of his approaching
arrival in this country, yet, after all, had so soon
to part from their beloved hero for ever—to part
from him ere the honours he had won, or the
rewards to which he was entitled, had been be-
stowed on him —ere the maternal and sisterly
elation at his triumph had been gratified, or even
the word of welcome had died on their lips, and
so to part with the knowledge that to bury him.
" out of their sight" would leave them compara-
tively penniless. The story is " wondrous pitifu!,"
and we are quite sure will be listened to with the
deeepest interest, and elicit, as it is well calcu-
lated to do, manifestations of respect, gratitude,
and sympathy, which will drive away the demon
of poverty from the homestead of the deceased
hero, if not rescue his bereaved parent from the
overwhelming grief in which she is plunged.
There is not, we are satisfied, an Englishman
deserving of the name but will agree with us
in recommending the case of the bereaved
mother, burdened at once with grief and poverty,
and the care of a large family, to the liberality of
the Ministry and the House of Commons. It is no
eleemosynary aid that is required for that unfor-
tunate lady. The gallant captain deserved well` of
his country, and that country will look to see his
claims recognised by the bestowal of a pension on
her who gave him birth. To have been a worthy
subordinate of WILLIAMS in the defence of Kars
was no common merit—and that distinction WAS
his. After ten years honourable service, and
being wounded in India, he repaired to Kars, and
in every possible way seconded the efforts of its
illustrious defender. Struggled, endured hard-
ship, fought, hungered by his side—was true to
him in thought, word, and deed. The man loved
his country ; and though Kars was betrayed, and
a province through that betrayal fell hit• the
grasp of Russia, the country feels that betrayal
too bitterly, and honours the defenders of Kars
too highly to have their fair claims, or those of
their representatives neglected. Two-thirds of
the names that figure on the pension list
might indeed be erased with more honour than
the name of Mrs. THomrsort. be omitted.
The Court and the aristocracy see to the reward-
ing of their tools, whatever their merit ;
the country would be disgraced if it neglected
those who have served it, and served it nobly.
That, however, has never, hitherto, been its ♦ice,
and there is no danger of its ever becoming so.
Bamboozled a thousand times by demerit, it is as
willing and as ready to reward the claims of merit
as ever. Any delay, therefore, in succouring the
bereaved mother of the gallant THOMPSON, will be
the fault of the Ministry, and not of the public.

the Swedish yacht Aurora Borealis, and a Scotch clipper
yacht, appear ready to conte-t for superiority with the
best yachts of the R.Y.S. The number of yachts fitting
out in this and other yachting ports greatly exceeds that

ferent cups are expected.

We have reason to believe that her Majesty will be
advi.ed i y Lord Palmerston to raise Sir Edmund
Lyons to the Peerage, in consideration of his services
while in command of the fleet in the Black Sea. This
will be the only peerage conferred for military or naval
-ervice rendered during the late war. Sir Edmund
Lyons, notwithstanding the new dignity conferred
upon him, will retain the command of the Mediter-
ranean fleet. It is we are informed, intended to
confer on Sir Edward Walker the honour of a baro-
netv, in recognition of the great ability and unwearied
assiduity with which he has fulfilled his laborious
duties as Surveyor of the Navy.
MR. AGUILAR'S CONCERT. —Mr. Agnilsr's annual con-
cert, given yesterday morning, at the Hanover-square
Rooms, was such au entertainment as to be expected
from so distinguished a mu-ician. The room was
crowded by a fashionable audience.
HAYMAIIKET THEATRE.—This theatre is doing so well
with its established pieces, that we have to record no
other novelty than the first appearance, last night, of
Miss Oliver on these boards.

The removal of the premises in Carey-street is not for
the purpose of widening the entrance of that street, but'
to clear a site for the erection of the new offices of the
Law Fire Assurance Company.
HIM MAJESTY'S ACCESSION TO THE THRONE.—To-day
is the 19th anniversary of her Majesty's dcceesion to the
throne. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired
a royal salute, and the bells of the various metropolitan:
churches rang merry peals on the occasion.
EMIGRATION TO AIISTRALIA.—LIVERPOOL, ThUrAday.
—The clipper ship Beetnah, Captain Pickernell, of the
Eagle line of packets, sailed to-day for Melbourne, with
a full cargo and 26 passengers. The Royal mail ship

"sails at noon to-morrow, for Melbourne, with, the
Australian mails, about 400 passengers, and a full cargo
on freight.
SHIPMENT OF WARLIKE AND COMMISSARIAT STORES

orders having been received fur the immediate despatch
of large quantities of military and commissariat stores,
and a number of extra labourers were employed to ex-
pedite the shipment.
MEMORIAL TO LORD RAGLAN AND OTHERS WHO
FELL IN THE LATE WAR.—Yeaterday afternoon a nu•
merouely attended meeting of " 04 Westminsters" was
held in the We•tminster School, Little Dean's yard, for
the purpose of considering the propriety of raising some
permanent memorial to the late Lord Raglan, Colonel
Markham, and other "Old Westminsters," who felt in
the Crimea during the late war. Resolutions carrying
out the objects of the meeting were agreed to unani-
aaonsly.
A letter from Vienna of the lath, is the Post 'lnapt
Gazette, says —" The episcopal - conferences were
brought to a close yesterday. The members do not
appear very well satisfied with the result of their
deliberations."

THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR At RvasiA.—The prepara-
tions of Count de Morny for his departure for Moscow
are nearly completed. The Embassy will be on a mag-
nificent scale, and nothing will be left undone, and no
•zperss saved, to represent France and her Emperor
worthily at the coronation of the Czar. Not less than
60 persons, it is said, will comprise the personnel of the
mission.

HAMBURG, June 18.—Stockholm accounts up to the
11th inst. mention the arrival of the Danish steamer
Hekla, with Dani.,h, and the Norwegian steamer Gan-
ger Rolf, with Norwegian students, respectively from
,Copenhagen and Christiania.
ARRIVAL OF A TURKISH FRIGATE IN THE MERSEY.
—Liverpool, Thursday.—A novel occurrence took place
here this morning, in the arrival of the fine new Turkish
frigate of 42 guns, named the Geyvau Bahry, under the
command of Mustapha Bey, which was sent to Liver-
pool to receive her armament.
Guy's HOSPITAL.-At a general court of the governors
of this hospital, held on the 18th instant, Dr. Owen
Rees, of Albemarle-street, was elected physician.'
CANTERBURY HALL.—Mr. Morton to determined to
spare neither expense nor trouble to render his estab-
lishment worthy of the extraordinary patronage-it has
hitherto received. In addition to his ordinary company
—of which we have had occa-sion to make favourable
mention on many recent occasions—he has secured the
efficient services of the Hungarian band, conducted by,
Herr,SalozdY, which occasioned•so great a sensation by
their brilliant periormances at the St. James's Theatre.
The band, under their efficient leader, will perform. every
evening at 9, and again at 11 o'clock, and an admirable
programme is put forward, from which choice selections
will be made, so that the audience will have the oppor-
tunity of hearieg first-rate ratiSiO given in first rate style.
Mr. Morton is-adowiog the right course to insure the
continuance of the great success that has hitherto at-
tended his indefatigable exertions and enterprising Woe.
