 Conference.-The contest between the People and the high Tory Party has now fairly begun. Yes terday a meeting of Whig leaders was held and committee appointed for receiving subscriptions t carry the election of popular candidates. The To res had previously met in Charles Street, and at the Duke of Brunswck's and agreed plan so com prehensive as to embrace the whole United King dom. To each place, which there was any chance they could contest successfully certain sum was allotted The sum thus appropriated, varied from 50 GOO to 5000l and formed an aggregate of ,300,- 000 To raise this enormous amount, the Duchess of St Albans Rotschild, Barring ec. have for some time past been selling large quantities of stock and to these sales the depression in the price of the pub lie securities is chiefly owing. Several Dukes, as those of Northumberland, and Buocleugh, have sub scribed ,00W each promising to increase thelr contributions if necessary, to 25O 000. Sir Robert Peel gave 20,000t. others from 900 to 500OW- You see therefore that the Tories armng for the combat and stalking their very existence on the re- suit, from conviction that with the triumph of the reformers their reign will be at an end. Much, however, must be done, to produce great and go- rous consummation the late dissolution of Parlia- ment, will contribute much to promote it, and now again recur to this event. in my last, owing to in- disposition, was unable to give you some interest," ing details concerned with 1t.
 No sooner had Earl Grey quilted the House, in consequence of the insult offered him by Earl Car narvon, and the proposed motion of Lord Wharn- clifIe to address the King and request him moi to dissolve Parliament than he hastened to the King and informed him of the whole proceeding: no final resolution was, however, taken till the next day, when Lord Brougham waited on his Majesty, and represented to him that the immediate dissolution of Parliament by the King in person, was the only me- thod of preventing and defeating the threatened ad- dress of the House of Lords. Lord Brougham this occasion laid before the King the critical state of public affairs represented to him that the inevitable result of lnching would be to throw himself again into the arms of toryism; that hostile demonstrations towards France and liberal opinions in Europe, with general war, would naturally follow, when the monarch to his honor be it said already determined to go with the people, interrupted him by saying, q will prorogue Parliament myself, and that instantly" The account of his visit to the House of Lords you will have seen in the public papers, but they give you but an imperfect idea of the surprise. the indg nation the consternaton which manifested itself when the King made his appearance. The King was lavorte with the nobility, the frank blunt manner corresponding but little with the po-
 shed and ultra-refned tone introduced into society by his late brother On this occasion their ordships took the pains disguise their sentiments not only did their looks amply express what they felt, bnt their language even in the Kings hearing, and 1t was after the lapse of some tune that decorum and silence restored
 The King has since been cut by the nobility in a style of which you can form no idea, and really if this odisant loyalty of the highest classes const ute the buwark of the English constitution, it repos es on slender basis (and the destruction of the Bo- roughmongering system will produce events of which no one has as yet dreampt. This result is however, by no certain for the present at least, the newspaper writers In London would per suade you The fact is, that the arstocracy has the advantage of means over the reform party, an advan tage which they know how to profit by better than any body else, and for obvious reasons. They have wielded power for centuries, know all the avenues Of corruption the oces civil and military, fill ed with their creatures and above all, they possess that which in such cases is far more important than talents or money, and which, the Times ofyester- day in it's leading article justly says has kept down the nation, "under prodigiOus lie, holding out to the world, that it had share in framing the laws by which it was governed, when it had no such share boasting that it sent 6o7 representatives to Parla- ment when the majority of those who composed the Parliament were not his representatives, pretending to be free and independent people, when it was a body ofkiclxed and tramped and pundered slaves ! | The news of King Williams dissolution of Parlia ment has produced, according to letters which have before me, deep and overpowering sensation in Paris, sensation which will have the effect ofopen.

There is but one opinion here as to the manner in which the brave French have been caoled into the despotic hands o a monied oligarchy by King who does every thing to bring them back to the ancient regime. The Chambers prorogued What have they done? Why the electoral law has not even been amended. The number of electors is still 150, ,OOO for 30 millions of people: the qualifications is still
 200 francs. Not single debate has been held not one bill been devised which it is now ascertain ed, did not emanate from the Paais Royal and its manoeuvering inhabitants. The last scene in the Chamber of Peers is characteristic of the present Government of France, to pass it bye without no- tce. You know by my previous letters that by the bill discussed, the ex-roya family of Charles K. was forever excluded from France; that is, to be dena- tionalized, the French call it. The bill was re- peatedy urged forward, but the ministers always contrived to keep back. All at once on the 18th the debate on it resumed, and the most barcfac ed high treason combatted the part of ministers with half and half earnestness of manner and when the Chamber divided, "a majority of 15 in favor oI conditional exclusion barely obtained but mark this division and consequent decision took place on the 18th of April the 2Oth they prorogued the Chambers and thus, the bill not having come to the Chamber of Deputies, takes effect.
