The R.M.S. Cambria came to the Cunard Wharf at Halifax, at 10 a.m. on the 26th. Her Liverpool dates are of course to the 15th May. The on. S. Cunard, and G. R. Young, Esq. are among the pas- sengers for Halifax, 13 in number.

The amount of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England now exceeds £20,000,00l_l sterling, and the rates of accommodation are easy beyond any former precedent. The arrivals of produce continue large,

ut the confidence of merchants remained unsliaken,

and no more goods are in the market than is requisite for present necessities. Trade was brisk in the man- ufacturing districts, with every probability of perma- nence. The Board of Trade returns are highly sut- isfactory, as regards the commerce of the country. Quite an excitement has been got up in England by the discovery of gold in Devonshire. Finnnciers are speculating on the probable result of these repeated discoveries of the precious metal on the relative val- ue of other commodities. Iron, ’l‘in, and Copper have advanced. Wool is firm, Spirits are active. The Directors of the National Provincial Bank of England have declared ii. dividend of6 per cent and it bonus of '2 per cctit, out of the profits of the year.

The dissolution of Parliament, will, it is said, take place about the l0tli of June. Up to the sailing of the steamer no person had been named as the fiitiiro Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia: but it is gone- rally believed that a Military man will be appointed. The Cape and New Zenlnnd‘ Constitutions will not be taken up until Parliament re-assembles.

The Conservative Ministry had retained its ground —passing the Militia Bill by a clear majority of 117.

The son of 0. Liverpool gentleman, writing home from the Australian gold diggins, states that in three weeks he succeeded in getting 150 lbs. of gold,which at the rate of £3 per ounce, would be worth £7,200 sterling, or £2,400 a week. .

The Ship Gazelle, from Zanzibar, on the coast of Morocco, arrived on Saturday in the London Docks, having on board two splendid Arabian horses, a grey and it bay, as a. present to Her Majesty, from the Emperor of Morocco. ~

The ageant of the 10th of May at Paris passed oil‘ peace- ably. 'rom 80,000 to 100,000 troops were paraded on the Champ do Mars; the cry of ciuclc Enipcrcur predominated; and the old Eagles were restored. The seamen charged with fixing the tri-colour flag over the entrance of the Elysee, fell while in the act ofdoing so, and was instantly killed by the fall. Arago, the celebrated astronomer and director of the Observa- tory hns resigned his ofiice, having refused to take the oath of fidelity to Louis Napoleon.

The Duke of Glucksburg has been formally recognised as the heir presumptive to the crown of Denmark and its dc- pendcncies.

The Emperor and Empress of Russia reached Vienna, Silt inst. They were met at Cesel by the King at Prussia. It is presumed that this visit is to consider the position of Louis

Great endeavburs are being made to save the life of a Bri- tish subject, named Murray, under sentence of death at Rome. The charge against him is that he was associated with known assassins at Anconzi. His complicity in the crime has not been proven, and his trial was out of the ordinary course, hav- ing been taken from the oidinsry tribunals. 'l‘hc Grand Dukes Nicholas and .ihIl1‘llCI of Russia. have arrived. M. 'l‘hicrs is on his way to .'\'.ii-lcs. _

The news by the last steamer from the Cape ofGooil Hope is more siiisfuetory, but nevertheless the K-zillirs show no dia- position to succumb. It appears that Sir H. Smith has suc- cessfully carried out his darinir expedition against Macomo and his brollier chiefs in the Waterklocf. The Government ilcspatcli of these remarkable operation details in the fullest manner the whole of each day‘s movements, and it is S‘) for satisfactory to say that although the loss on our side has been

very severe, still the enemy has been extirpatcd from that strongliold, aml S. H. Smith is still in full march upon the other points of strength in the Amatola mountains, whence we have no doubt he will drive the enemy across the I\'ci.

We are told that the British prisoners captured by the Kaflira are tortured in the most protracted manner. A vast number of female prisoners have fallen into our hands, who have described the hideous atrocities practised. Governor Catlicart has arrived at the Cape. The draft constitutional til'tIlIlZIIICC has passed the Council, after some alterations rais- ing the qualifications, &c. The Government oflicers voted against the changes as affecting the principles ofilie draft. A General revulsion in public opinion has taken place in favor of Sir H. Smith, who is very correctly described as having been sacrificed by Lord Grey tosiive his party. Sugar ofa superior quality has been raised at Nata .

Govsnuon or Nova Sco'ri.\.—Nntliing has transpired as to the appointment of a Governor for Nova Scotia. ' probable the post will be offered to Sir Harry Smith, on his return from the Cape

We believe the bench and bar of Halifax hold proper views upon the question of the appointment of Queen's ouiisel ; and that they have given a proper check to a Reform Ministry, which has certainly worked very hard, upon more occasions than one, to make itself an object of ridicule. The “oflice should be a judicial, far more than a ministerial, appointment ;" and the gentlemen who have silk gowns bestowed upon them, should be rather distinguished members of the profession, than the more tools of a Ministry. We think u beneficial change in the system of appointing Qucen’s Counsel might be introduced into Canada, for manifold reasons; but chiefly to check the prostitution of the dignity of the bar, by the corrupting influence of the government of the day, in the selection of prefermenis of silk goivns.—-'l'oronlo Colonist.

From the Neil;/id. Morning Post, May 20, 1852.

The Hon. the COLONIAL Sucusnnv, li command of his Excellency, laid on the table a Copy ofa Despatch from the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, on the subject of Respon- sible Go vcriiment.

[No. 5]

[Copy of Despatch.] Downing Street, 6th A ril. 1852.

Sir,—l have to acknowledge your despcteli o. 5, of the I3llI February last, ttansmiitingto my predecesaoi Earl Grey, e'copy ofa series of resolution! passed by a majority ofthe House of Assembly of Newfoundland on receiving his Lord- ship's reply to the address in favour of Responsible Govern- ment

- 5'

2nd. I have to thank you on the part of her Majest ‘a Go- vernment for the assistance which you have aflorded t cm by your clever and able statement ofthe circumstances lllltlcl’ which these resolutions and the addresses were passed, and of the present political state and prospects of the colony. 3d. lIer Majesty's Government see no reason for dilfering from the conclusions at which their predecessors had arrived on the question of the establishment of Responsibie Govern- ment, and which were conveyed to you by Lord Grey in the despatch already mentioned. I consider, on the contrary, that the wisdom and justice of these conclupions are confirmed by the accounts since received from Newfoundland, and especially by the contents ofthe addresses from the Cliainbcr of Com merce at St. John's, and from the majority ofilie liar, eu- closed in your present despatch. 4th. Iconcur also in your own general views on this sub- ject, and approve of the liberal and conciliatory principles by which your personal conduct, and your distribution of patron- age have been guided. 5th. Her Ma'esiy’s Government will entertain no disincli- nalion to lace ewfoundland on the same footing an to co- ponsiblc 'overnment as the other orth American Colonies whenever it shall appear that such a boon can be conceded with the general concurrence, and for the general advantage of all classes. But whatever objections are felt to this con cession under present circumstances can only be increased by the unhappy dissensions aggravated as it appears by religious diflerenees by which the community has been and continues to be distracted. 6ili. It is impossible for instance, for her Majesty’: Go- vernment not to notice with deep regret that the Roman Ca- tholic Prelatc ofthe Island, according to his own declarations, of his sentiments through the press is disposed to trike the part of a political leader rather than to inslil into the minds of the members ofliis persuasion the duties of forbearance and Christian Charity. They will not however, refuse to enter- tain a hope that ilio Bishop may yet be brought to see the impropriety and injurious consequences of such a course. 7ih. Should the event ofa collision between the Executive and Legislative powers in the colony unfortunately occur, her M:tjcsly's Government will depend upon your meeting such a crisis in that judicious and temperate, but at the same time firm and (I€Cl(lt.il spirit which cliaraeterisce your dcapzitch. While you continue to act in such a spirit you may rely on the support oflier Majesty's Government, and if the necessity for such a course should uuhappily arise, they will not hesi- tate to recommend to Parliumciit such measures as in their judgment the case may require, in order to ensure the better government of the Colony.
