IMPORTANT FROM SICILY. PARIS, TueADAY, 101 A NI. Events are hourly developed which render the dis sension which prevails within the governmet.t and the di6Coril between the capital and the provinces, or at least between that portion of the capital which en tertain the sentiments of the Minister of the I Iterior and the population of the departments, more and more rant. The urn has hardly been closed before we are in• inundated with reports, remonstrances, and protesta tions, calculated to destroy all confidence in the validity or fairness of the eketions. Intimidation and undue influence are openly im puted, not only to the agents of the government, but to its very members. Voters are menaced by the pro-cousuls of the Minister of the Interior with another 20th of August, and with a reproduc tion of the horrors of the 2nd September, if they do not blindly deposit in the urn, unmodified, the list given to them by those pro-consuls themselves. One member of the government unscrupulously in vades the province and supersedes the functions of another; provincial authorities, indignant at such dis orders, throw up their functions; and, if the spirit of the population be not of a miraculously pacific cha racter, %earthy must ensue. We find the Minister of the Interior extenning his authority over the de partment of the Minister of War. A letter from Algiers (which province has hitherto been placed under the Minister of War) says : A M. Cuput has just landed here, calling himself corn• milieu, with extraordinary and unlimited powers stated to have Urea given to him by the Minister of the Interior, for ail kinds of chanaes, reforms, mutations, &c., in the germane/ of the civil and military administrations of Algeria, and to direct the elections. The news was so unespeeted that at first nobody werild believe it. How, Indeed, could it be admitted that the Minister if the tenor could delegate powers of this nature in a country which is under the immediate orders of the Atini , tir of War ? The governor-general, it is said, was not less surprised than the papulation. No orth r of the govern ment, no advice from the minister on whom he depends, had announced to him this strange mission. He saw in it such a watt nt civility and distrust that he wrote im mediately to demand that a successor to him should be grimed. The director of civil affairs baa come to the come determination. Everybody is indignant ; every- bed) ask, it it has been resolved to convulse and ruin his is a confusion of powers ; it is anarchy. Upon this the National, of which the chief editor Ind proprietor is a member of the government, ob *nee We wish we could explain the letter of our correspondent I insaying that th re WM an error onis side. hut th facts ' stated in too p recise a manner fo run to have any doubt p on the subject. The government must, therefore, explain 111,11 ; it must say what ita intentions are as regards Algeria sad the governor-general. If it has wished to place Algeria under %h.. orders of the Minister of the Interior, and has not confidence in General Cavaigmac, it must say so openly and Madam its motives. It cannot be permitted to remain I teat. Preterits continue to appear in the journals, throw- 1, discredit upon the elections. Those officially charged with their management continue to be accused of abuses, which would utterly falsify the reterus, and render the assembly a mockery. Letters appeared in the journals, both yesterday and to-day, bearing filenames and addresses of their writers, and establish- itg beyond all ques.ion the reality of the abuses. Advices arrive daily from the provinces, some de tails of which we give in another column, which in dicate the same writ of disorder and resistance to the governmental authorities as we have hitherto reported. The decree which I announced to you yesterday for Pe appropriation of the railways in actual operation 2 . y . the state, has not yet appeared in the Moniteu r. The reason of this delay is, that the government waits until a decision is made respecting the unfinished lines I The' decision a respecting the lines in operation , which announced.... to you yc iterday morning, became Partly known at the Bourse yesterday, and, as such .A., 11k,,.

It might have been expected that the prospect of so large an issue of new stock would have lowered the price of the funds, but, oaths contrary, they we-e sustained. Yesterday, at five o'clock, MM. Lamartine and Ar mand Marmot went to the etat-major, in the Place Vendome, to arrange with General Duvivier the mea sures necessary to be taken to defeat the projects of some of the clubs. These associations had intended, as was discovered, to go in bodies to the sections whi re the bulletins of the votes were deposited, and to carry them away, the elections appearing to be unfavourable to their cause. Precautionary measures were accord ingly adopted. From half-past 9 o'clock at night numerous picquets of the national guard surrounded the mairies, the ministries. and the principal public establishments, to assure their defence. 700 men Bur- I rounded the Ministry of Finances. The battalions of the 9th legion of the guard mobile received orders to be ready to march, and notices were given to the national guard to be ready at the first signal. At 10 o'clock, after the closing of the urns, the boxes which contained the votes were all sealed and placed in carriages, which were escorted by the guard motile, and brought to the several mairien. Some boxes were brought thus escorted by detachments of thirty and forty men, bearing torches. At nil e o'clock iu the evening, M. Arago, Minister of War, went in person to the etat-major, and sent,nn order to the 2nd battalion of the 29th regiment of the line,. in garrison at St. Denis ' and three squadron of cuirassiers to proceed with all expedition by railway to Beauvais, a hero serious trouble had broken out. Two officers of the etat-major were sent to St. Denis and St. Germain with these orders. To morrow the Glut regiment of the line and the sth regiment of lancers will enter Paris, and take up their quarters in the Ecole The garrison of the capital will then consist of two regiments of infantry, the filth of the line and the 11th light, end two ut cavalry, the 2nd dragoons and the sth lancers. The artillery which has been stationed at the Ecole Nlilitaire has been ordered to go to \ incennes. The Madrid mails of the 20th have arrived. Our correspondent assures us that another insurrec tionary explosion was expected to break out before the close of the month. Business was at a stand-still, so generally known was this intended movement. All that I see (says our correspondent) confirms me in the opinion that there will be war to the knife, and that Spain will be shaken to its centre unless the bu,iness be quietly settled by a military pronancia»tento. - - We hare revived a lett , ,r, of the 18th, from our correspondent at Naples. It appears that on the 13th inst., the general parliament of Sicily declared that the Bourbon d) nasty had fallen for ever from the bicilian throne, and that a constitutional government should be established, and an Italian prince called to the throne. The confilet between the Sicilians and the Neapo- I litan troops was still continued at Messina. 31 , 1, Sad ITALIAN REVOLUTION. Since the above was sk ritten, we have recei-ed letters from Milan to the 2 lat. The Piedmonteee army still held the Fame positions on the Mincio, and showed no intention o advancing. We learn that Chard , s Albert, regarding the Mincio as the limit separating Lombardy from the Venetian provinces, declared to the Provisional Government at Milan that, having driven the Austrians out of Lom bardy, hu had no intention of interfering in the .. ffairs of the Venetian States, which had constituted themselves into a republic, and that consequently the mission of the Sardinian envoy would terminate when Mantua and Peschiera should surrender. The following bulßletinio Qua was issued : bul lies Oaaraldo, April 19. This morning a strong division of our troops has attempted, by a rapid match, to surprise the advanced posts of the for- tress of Mantua, but the garrison kept itself i.ttorously within the forums, protected by the fosses tilled with water. Some discharges from the guns of the fortress killed four of our men. Our artillery also inflicted some luau on the enemy, fur we have seen wounded men carried away on iwaggons. The king advanced to the ditches of the fortress. To-morrow the hew:l-quarters will be again changed ta Yalta, probably to commence a•new attempt on the Mincio. LATEST FROM PARIS. PROGRESS OF THE ELECTIONS, T 11ANSFE It OF RAILWAYS PARIS, Tvasnar, 6 r.x. Another explosion is reported to have taken place within the Provisional Government last evening, in which, as usual, MM. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin were in open conflict; the latter desired the further postponement of the meeting of the assembly, the former peremptorily opposed it; the latter threatened a popular demonstration, the for mer treated the menace with contempt. M. Ledrn Rollin then declared that he would have Paris coven d with barricades to-day. M. Lamartine rose and declared that he set his colleague at de fiance, that the n.ajority of the Government were quite prepared for any measure of that description promoted by the Minister of the Interior, and that they would resort to effectual measures to defend it. After this, report says, M. Ledru Rollin lowered his tone. This may afford an example of the scenes which are daily occurring in the councils of the Provisional Government. The Mayor of Paris has ordered that the general summing up of the votes shall take place at the Hotel de Ville on Friday, the 28th, at nine o'clock in the morning. At the Bourse to-day there was a general improve ment in values of every description, a circumstance the reverse of what might have been expected con sidering the agitated state of the capital and the ex traordinary measures of precaution resorted to by the government last night and today. The cause of this favourable movement is the fact which has become known that MM. Rothschild have, within a few days, imported large quantities of specie, and are expected to continue the same operation. The abundance of metallic money thus produced is not the only favour able consequence inferred from this. The passive attitude observed by these great capi talists hitherto has had a discouraging effect. On the other hand, the circumstance of their now taking the a, tive part indicated by the measure I have just mentioned, excites hopes that they intend to come forward and re-assume their wonted position and influence in the financial affairs of the country. This morning the examination of the votes was commenced in Paris and the Barilieue. The election of M. Lamartine will be almost unanimous. It is thought that the election of the 12th arrondissement will be annulled. in consequence of the gross frauds practised there. I learn that go vernment has already received the news that M. Milton Barrot has been elected by an immense majority in the department L'Aisue. As I told you would probably be the case, the couLeil of government his decided to-day respecting he remainder of the railways, viz., the unfinished lines. The shareholders are individually to have the option either of accepting the same terms as have been decided for the finished lines—that is to say, to receive Five per Cent. stock in exchange for their shares, the value of the one and the other being taken at the average prices of thee ix months before February; or they may pay up t remainder of their capital and receive 5 per cent. stock at par for the whole. The decree as to the railways will appear, as it is ex pected, in the Moniteur of Thursday. The Mint is now coining one-centime pieces. They, as well as the pieces of five-francs, are coined from the dies of Dupre, the engraver of the first r a iepubliemale, c. They are in copper, having the head of with a Phrygian bonnet, with the motto "Republique Franca:o ;" on the reverse is " Up Centime, 1848." They are about to coin half a million in value.

[THREEPENCE. The Piedmontese army is master of the most advan tageous positions near Verona. The heavy artillery is arrived. Two envoys from Parma have offered the concourse of their troops to King Charles Albert, who has accepted it. General Durando, with the Pontifical troops has invested the fortreee of Fer rara." SICILT.—The Independza e Leila of the 13th says: " The decree which pronounced the dethronement of the King of Naples, and of all his race in Sicily, hes been welcomed at Palermo by cries of enthusiasm. Cries were uttered of Down with the statues of the Bourbons!' and thousands of voices echoed ' Down with them!' No sooner said than done. All the statues were thrown down from their pedestals. They began with that of Philip V. The only one respected was that of Charles 11., because he was just and benevolent." THE 'WEATHER AT GLAs(loW.—Since our lad we have had frequent rains and a cold temprrature. We have now a happy change, however, for on Saturday the wind shifted from the north-cut to the south-east, and, in conse quence, the air is snit and balmy, and vegetation begins to go on apace.—Glassyrne Herald.

Letters from Hamburg, of the 22nd, give a some what different version of the engagement of the 21st inst., between German confederates and the Danes, to that we yesterday published. The action was between the " Free Corps," consisting of Hamburghers, Ber liners, &c., and Borne Danish infantry, about 800 men lin all, supported by a small body of cavalry and a couple of field pieces. The former supposed that they could easily regain their reputation lost in the action of Bau by surprising a Danish outpost, but, atter a struggle for a few hours against their better dis ciplined adversniies, and fighting with considerable courage, and at a lon,q'ranr, they attempted tocharge t'tem with the bayot.ct, when they were received by a party of Schleswig volunteers, the regular Danish troops making way for them, and completely defeated, with the loss of 20 men killed and 1;0 wo•inded, The Danish cavalry took no part in the affair, owing to the ground being unfavourable, or the Free Corps would have fared much worse. The Holstein party was commanded by a Msjor Von 'faun, a Bavarian officer, who remain , d on the field and drew off his men with great coolness, notwithstanding a severe wound in the body received at the commencement of the action. Tho Dunes have suffered some loss, but not much. PORTUGAL. By the steamer Tiger, arrived to-day at gonthamp ton, we have news from Lisbon to the 20th instant.

In one of my recent letters I detailed to Sou the proposed plans of the Portuguese Finance Minister res pecting the budget, and m. nti d the intention of .• capi talising " the overdue dividends upon the foreign debt, and in commenting upon this shameless proceeding stigmatised the measure as a robbery of the English creditors. Lord Palmerston, I am hooey to state, appears to have receive d the news of the contemplated fraud with equal disgust, and has, in consequence, forwarded instructions to the British minister here, not only to protest against any such act on the part of the government; but, what is het'er, and more to the purpose, the protest has been accompanied by an imperative demand that the dividends in arrear should be immediately paid up, and, if his lord ship would only slow himself really in earnest in his demand, some chance might exist for the poor bond holder ; but, rely upon it, that if protests and demand are merely confined to paper cartels, they will be lust as much heeded as were the stipulation+ of the protocol when Eng- I and had done the dirty wor k for Donna Maria, and Eng lish assistance wns ho longer needed. Now, it is not at all unlikely that, out of the circum stance of this protest and this demand I.y Lord Palmerston, on attempt (emanating from here) may be made to force up Portuguese stock, and to give it a temporary fictitious value ; such an effort would be peefectlyin keeping with the chars, • ers of certain stock-jobbing ex-nuniaters, the John Olivetras, &c., and having tor its own end and aim • little profitable busines. for their own special behoof and benefit; you will do well, therefore, to pat your readers upon their guard, and to sound aloud old 'fownsheners monitory caution of " Gentlemen, pray take care of your pockets." Sir it :mitten Seymour, I can assure you will not be enabled to writs very cheeringly to his chief upon this subject, as in his interviews with the Portuguese uon.ster, the only reply or satisfaction he could extort was simply a regret at the impossibility of even promising a farthing in the way of liquidation. ' We bad some notion a few nights since that there would have been a disturbance, as in the middle of the night the noise and rattle of the wheels of gun carriages were heard in all directions ; it proved a false alarm however, and the artillery, after having been despatched to the various barracks, bad, in the morning, to be quietly trundled back again. P.S. A rumour is current of an intention on the part of the Quern to mat Costa Cabral to her councils; hut I hold rice report to be altogether unworthy of credence, more par ticularly as the Duke of Pal:m.lla landed yesterday from HAVANNA. We have bean favoured with the following com mercial news from Havanna, nt March 28th: Since tiv• 26th ultimo, the prices of Sugar have gradually experienced an advance, owing to the combined influence of an active general demand for Spain, the United States, Germany, and Cowls and a market, and to the prevalence of unfavourable weather, which has kept our stocks in a very moderate state, by impeding the movements of coasters with supplies from the interior. Such was the state of the market until the arrival of the English steamer, and the value of Sugars was sustained at the following rates : Awned kinds, for n. 6s. 10d. to 75. Ild.; whites, free on hoard, per cwt., 23,. Ild. to 265. Ild. ; superior, 28s. ld. to 28a. Bd. ; yellows, 18s. 7d. to 19s. 9d.; Floretcs, 20s. 4d. to 225. 9d. ; browns, 16s. sd. to 18s. ; Cucuruchos, 15s. Id. to 15s. Bd. Muscovado Sugars come forward only in mode rate quantities, and sales were made at srs. to 51rs. Vcry little of prime quality makes its appearance. Molasses has been supported at lira., though loft. rly there has not been much doing. The late shipments to the United States have been heavy, resulting from large speculative purchases made at high rates. The transactions in Coffee are scarcely worthy of notice, at 61 dole. to 7 dole. The last transactions in freights were at 21. 17s. 61. to 31. 2s. fal. for Cowes, ace ding to the size and character of the vessels: one of very large capacity was taken at V. 12a. fd. For small English vessels, 31. Ws. was paid, and 31. Sa. for a smell Spanish brig to Hamburg t irect. One cannot judge yet what effect the important occurrences re ferred to above may exert on the shipping interests in our ports. The bulk of exchange operations on London for the packet were at 11 per cent. premium; but since the arrival of the inward steamer, higher rates were asked, but very little has been done. The last transactions on Paris were at 3i per cent. di s count, but now there is no inquiry fur bills on that city. PARISH ELECTIONS took place yesterday in various . parts of the metropolis. The following points are worthy of notice: IN LAMBETH, on the election of the board for the superinten lence of the highways, a ratepayer inquired what arrangement had been ,ome to on the part of the late board with tke South Western Railway Company relative to the re pairs of the roads rendered necessary by the formation of the extension line through the parish, and it was stated, in an swer, that the board had received from the company 1,0001 towards the repairs of the ro .ds, which was considered a most satisfactory arrangement. They bad also received from the company a further sum of 2.501: on account of the rates, and the balance in hand amounted to 2,0601. —IN ST. SA vioules, SOUTHWARK, a notice of motion was given by Mr. It. Clark relative to future interments in the church. These interments had been found highly, .injurious to the health of these who attended divine service, besides being attended with other consequences of a painful nature. — IN BERMONDSEY, Mr. Elkington stated that he had given notice of a motion to petition the legislature upon sub- ject of the income tax; b ut as that question had been the settled in the Rouse of Commons, and as a number of members of parliament and gentlemen had agreed to seek a better state of the representation, he thought that it would be more ad. visable to direct the attention of the vestry to support that question.--Av ST. ANNE'S, WESIMINBTER. Mr. George, in pursuance of previous notice, proposed the following resolution : That for the purpose of enabling the vestry to ascertain whether so much of the act of 9 and 10 Vic. c. ;4, 18 may be applicable t ea- this . pariah shoukl be carried into effeCt, a committee be formed to e vour to obtain the ocincurrenee of someone of the adjoining parishes .a • form jointly with them isiths and wash-houses, and that they should ezuleavour to obtain the moat eligible site and the estimates of expense for the erection thereof. An amendment, that the consideration of the question be postponed to that day twelve months, was, however, moved, and earned by a large majority (for dirt).— IN ST. GILES, CAMBERWELL, the report on the highways i and sanitary state of the parish showed that the committee had, by direction of the metropolitan commission, caused surveys and plans of the levels of the parish to b e e made the with a view to the effectual drainage and sewerag of parish. The demands against the board were 1,1601., whilst . they had but GU in hand, 1,2291. of the rate remaining to be ' collected. THE CHARTIST CONVENTION WWI IIIIIOIIIICed to I meet yesterday in John-street, Tettenhotn-conrt-road, and in oorurequenoe a large crowd sureembled, who were doomed to disappointment, as they were informed by a messenger stationed at the door that there would be no meeting. Whe ther the Cll3llll and Government Security Bill, which re ceived the royal assent on Saturday, had an it y is effect inrstood pre ' venting the assembly was not stated, but und ' that some of the delegates have resigned.

HADLEIGH, April 24.-We had a small market to day, owing, in part, to the holidays. Fine dry Wheats were Is. to 2a. dearer, and Barleys full Is. per qr. Beans remain the same as last week. No Peas on offer. H er.e, April 25.-Not only in this immediate neighbour hood, hut for some distance around us, the weather during the past week has been anything but what we expected from the experience at this day se'nnight, and we have some com plaints from practical agriculturists that the growing crop of 'Wheat is not all right; dry weather is much needed, both Inc the sowing if spring Corn, now very backward, and for the improvement of the young Wheat plant. Owing to the usual holidays at this season, business has been more or less suspended during the week ; still the bulk of the arrivals noted below have gone into consumption at the market rates. New foreign Wheats have been sold at 475. to 495. ; Barley (Sul), at 315., and new Danish, at 29a, to 30s. ; Beans 325. The reports from inland markets are more lifeless than we expected, owing, doubtless, in a very great measure to the severe cheek which every branch of trade has received through existing political and commercial disarrangements; still it must b. , remembered that stocks in factors or millers' hands are universally Iwo, and hence we may calculate on present prices being sup ported, with a chance of some improvement. The steamer arriving this mailing from Hamburg, states the Sound to be stopped to ell Prussian vessels, and that some have been detained. This will naturally affect our supplies of Baltic produce, and may be expected to produce some stiffness on this side. Supplies and stocks of Wheat at Hamburg were short, and the market Is. to 2s. dearer. We had for to-day's market a moderate supply of Wheat from the farmers, which sold at fully last week's prices, and in some instances, for choice quality, a trifle mere money was made. A good sole for foreign at the abovenamed rate., but holders gem rally asked more money, and this quite checked Mod nem Barley, which has been in improved demand during the the whole of the week, obtains full prices today. Oats continue as dull as we have had lately to write them, hut from their low price may attract attention. Beans and Pees are ex:cedingly dull, though the former article is more en quired for. Linseed, if it were not for the unfortunate state of the Continent, would be dearer, but the cessation of ex port orders for Oil, combined with a limited demand for Cake, has a contrary effect. Of Foreign Cake we have much choice; quality very good, price very tempting. Rapeseed arrives more freely, and meets a good demand at our currency notwithstanding the continued import of Rape Oil. Rape Cakes are offering very low, in comparison with the prices of March and the value of other manures. Bones, owing to the unexpected arrivals, are dull and lower. I IPSWICH, April 25.-The trade in Wheat is to-day by no means lively. In a few instances for fine dry things, a trifling advance has been obtained over lost week's rater, but damp and inferior qualities may he noted nominally the same. Barley may he noted lls. per qr, dearer ; the supply is email. Scarcely anything doing in Beans. LEEDS, April 25.-The arrivals are pond today of all grain, except Barley. We experienced a fair tale for Wheat at the full prices of Friday. Barley also quite as dear and scarce. No variation in Oats or Shelling. Beans also steady. Little passing in other articles.

Beans, old, 295. to 315.; new, 235. to 2.5 e. ; Peas, 25e. I to 28e , all per 5 bushels. LEWES, April 25.-We had a small supply of Wheat at this day's market, which came principally to hand rough and in bad condition, owing to the dampuess of the weather. I Fine dry samples sold freely, at an advance of la. per qr. from the rates of this day se'nnight. Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, in good demand. The Seed trade still remaias very dull. White Wheat, 121. 15s. to 131. 50 ; red, 111. 15s. I to 124; Barley, 335. to 355.; Oats, 19s. to 20s. ; Beans, 345. to 355. ; Peas, 355. to 365. LtvEnrooL, April 25.-On reference to our import note I beneath, it will be seen that the aggregate arrivals of Eng lish and Irish produce here this week axe rather inconsider able; and that, excepting a fair quantity of Indian Core from the American States, and a cargo of Beans from Egypt., the supplies fresh in from abroad are unimportant. Duties this week remain unvaried. The long-continued preva lence of unsettled weather up to this date, not only keeps the soil in a very unfit state fur either culture or the reception of seed, but in many parts of the country corn- plaints begin to be more frequent of the prejudicial effect produced upon the autumn-sown Wheats, which a more genial season for the future alone can remove : today is fine, with the appearance of more settled weather. Having an increased number of home and country millers at this day's market, most descriptions of English and Irish Wheat were in fair request at en advance of Id. over the current rates of Tuesday last ; the general runs of Foreign were also Id. to 24. per 7011 e. dearer, whilst superior kinds of Foreign, upon a limited demand, remained unaltered in value. American Flour, being scarce, and very few five brands uttering, improved 6d. per barrel, and Irish, being taken freely by consumers, obtained au amendment of Is. per sack. Although in Barley of any kind little business was done, no change in prize was apparent. English and Euro pean Beans, meeting little notice, were rather depri seed in value Egyptians, on the contrary, were held with increased firmness on somewhat higher terms. Peas, being neglected, receded 2s. to 3s. per qr. Oats and Oatmeal, commanding a fair degree of attention, the former realised full ld. per 451 b., and the latter 6d. per load above our last quotatione. Indian Corn, meeting an active inquiry, was taken rather freely again fur Ireland, at an advance of Is. to Is. 63. per 4801 b. ; and Corn Meal acquired lbs. to 12s. 6d. per barrel. Lamer, April 25.-But a few samples of Wheat and Barley toiday ; both fully Is. per qr. dearer. Wheat, Slam to 631b5., 48s. to 515.; fine white, 545. Barley, best runs, 31s. to 335. Oats, Did. per stone. Beans, 345. to 38e. PLYMOUTH, April 25.-Our Corn market today was thinly attended. The few sales made in foreign Wheat were at the rates of last week. The weather appears more settled. Setisavitv, April 25.-The supply of Wheat being short, the best dry samples sold at an advance of from Is. to Is. pet qr.; =Aerate and inferior, at about last week's prices. Heavy white Wheat made 555. per qr. ; red, 535. ; second quality, 48s. to 50s. ; inferior, from 425. to 445. Of Barley, a few first-rate Chevalier, weighing 561bs. per bushel, sold at en advance of by. per bushel ; moderate qualities, Is. in ad vance. Much remained unsold at the close of the market. Prices from 325. to 385. Oats A short supply, and few sales, at last week's prices. Beans and Peas gave rise to few trans actions. Tares and small spring seeds in better demand, owing to the fine weather. Sr. Ives, April 21.-The Wheat trade to-day was better ; it is Is. per load higher than last week. The Barleys were a better trade, particularly the malting; they made ls. per Ir. more than last week. The general trade to-day was 'I, indeed. MANUFACTURES. —HUDDERSFIELD, April 25. —We have had quite as many attenders at our Hall to-day as last week, but by no means so much business doing ; low goods, at from 24. 4d. to 2s. 10d. per yard, in fancy styles, are what have been sought for today. HOPS.—SausarnY, April 23.—More moneyasked for Hops ; for best Farnham, W. per cwt. ; rather chocolat% d, 51. ss. ; best country, 41. 15s. to 51. ; moderate, 31. 10s. to 41.; yearling, 2L to 21. 10s. WOOL.—iICDDERSYLEL, April 25.—This busi- 1 nese progresses very tardily. The put week has exhibited no symptoms of improvement, and the general feeling among the best informed in the trade is that, at the approaching public sales which are advertised for the fourth next month, Wools must come down in price. SALISBURY, April Z.—Trade rather better, but prices remain unvaried. Best Teg Wool sold at per lb.; Lamb and long Wool, 100. to Ild.; coarse, 7d. to ed. CATTLE, A:e.---/Coxylca.—Our market exhibited a very short show of Scot/ and Short-horn', which is gene rally the cue the week of our great fair. Late prices were fully maintained for good stock. Fat Beasts, a good show ; trade dull, but not lower, at prices from Ts. to is. Gd. per stone of 141 be. The pens were badly filled with Hoggeta, aad prices much the same as at Tombland Fair. Fat Sheep from Be. to 9s. par stone, and all sold. Good Store Pigs 32a. to 355. per head. Fat Pork, 6s. 9d. to 71. per stone. ST,, Ires, April 24.—There was a short supply of fat Beasts today in the market, but good quality. They made Ss. per stone. The Idntion vade to-day wee very dear. There was a good supply of store beasts to-day in the market. Trade brisk. --- - • • for Yeaterdoo's Mar/cola U. kilt Gaps. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o Clock.--The market is better supplied with money stock this morning, fur which the demand, moreover, has slackened on the part of the public. Political and other circumstances come now more into play, and depress prices. Consols opened, and tor some time remained, at 82 to t, both for money and account, so that the back wardation in favour of monty stock, which has ruled for some time, no longer exists. They have since beta as low us 811 to but are now 811 toy for time and money. Reduced Threes are 801 to 1. Three-and-a , Quarter per Cents., 811 to 1 1. Exchequsr Bills, 425. to 455. premium. Bank Stock, 187 to 9. The accounts frum Madrid represent the commer.oe ment or an extraordinary state 01 financial confusion through the country. Merchants and bankers in the provinces hod advised their correspondents in the capital to suspend all commercial transactions on their account. Bank notes had fallen to 12 per cent. dis count. There can be little doubt now that the sudden fall of 2 per cent. in Spanish Bonds yesterday was not occasioned by the Palmerston-Sotomayor correspoudence, but by extensive sales of bonds by parties who were in possession yesterday of the unfavourable intelligence now become public. Spanish Fives are now quoted 11 to I ; the Threes, 21 to ; Passive, 21 to 3. Portuguese, 141 to 151. Mexican, 141 to 15. Peruvian, 29 to 31. Brazilian, 63 to 7. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 39 to 41 ; the Fours, 58 to 60. Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 50 to 5. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives have de finitively voted the government project of loan, but two supplementary regulations were subsequently brought forward for discussion, for authorising the conversion of the loan receipts into treasury bonds of 1,000, 20 and 10 francs each, to be made available as notes payable to bearer. The articles and conditions of the loan-law project are extremely complex, but, substantially, the securities for the pay ment of interest, and reimbursement, arc based upon the land tax and personal tax of the present financial year; the annual product of the retiree and capitals advanced on loan (to corporations and individuals it may be supposed), guaranteed by a conventional mort gage ; and on a tax upon a certain scale upon all the pensions and salaries paid by the state to public functionaries.

TC.BOASCOW—NOtIIIag. 41 ola. peat 7 LONDON,WEDNESDAY APIIIL26 LORD PALMERSTON is a foreign minister, gifted with a great many valuable qualifications, difficult to finder to unite Many statesman. Great experience, skill, ad roitness, talent, are in him joined with a thorough love of liberty, and of the progress of liberty in foreign countries. But his character has its defects and draw backs. Ile is terribly impatient—he cannot bide his time—he will net allow freedom to await the usual and natural term of gestation—he would anticipate events—ho would run, as a poet has represented SHAKESPEARE, far before Time, and leave the old gentleman with his scythe to toil after him. What pains has not Lord PALMERSTON taken for Spanish liberty, for Grecian liberty, for Cracovian liberty, nay, for French liberty, fretting and insinuating that Louts Pitisires himself was retrograde, was absolutist. and insidiously striving to resuscitate the Holy Alliance, and the policy of I Louts XIV. Surely in all this Lord PALMERSTON has given himself an immensity of trouble for very little purpose. Could not his lordship have trusted a little more to events? These have done ample justice by all Lord PALMERSTON'S antagonists, by Louts PHILIPPE, by Prince Mrxrensicu, by King Onto, and by those Prussian statesmen who hit him so hard about the navigation laws. Lord PAL MERSTON triumphs and reigns; whiggism lords it paramount ; nor is there a crack in any one of the multifarious coronets, or wears rs of those coronets, which form its ministerial Caryatides. Could not even success mollify Lord PALMERSTON? NO—LOCIS PHILIk PE in a blouse; METTERNICH escaping from Vienna, and ensconcing himself at itotterdam, till ROTHSCUILD could find heart to cash a bill for him—not all this—not the misfortunes of French, and Italian, and German despots couid give Lord PALMERSTON bowels towards the Spanish Sejani. In the midst of March, that is, to the sound of tottering thrones and flitting prime ministers, Lord PALMERSTON sits down to pen one of his terrible lectures to Messieurs &Iron/owe, NAttvArz, and Co. These poor devils are keeping guard upon the Queen of SPAIN, in hourly dread of insurrection, abhorred by the people, repudiated by the Cortes, and having for all stay to keep them from perdition a few regiments. Sixpence would be a bidding too high for their lives and fortunes. And yet Lord PALMERSTON finds it in his heart to be hard upon these poor wretches. He sends Mr. BULWER a Downing-street lecture on their unconstitutional con duct, and holds out the menace to them, that should MON ['VIOLIN or any avenger come, he will not stir a finger to help them. Really, we think, all this might have been spared. Revolution advances rapidly and terribly enough not to need British heralding or aggravation of it. SOTOMA YOR is apoor reed, a cunning, selfish, empty diplomatist—without party, without principles, with out consistency. NARVAEZ may be iron, but he is an iron weathercock that has wreaked and twisted to every wind. What matter to England or an Eng lish minister, what policy such miserable statesmen and such ephemeral powers pursue ? If Spain con sents to stoop to such mere unsupported sub alterns, why, Spain deserves her fate, and merits to be spit upon. But, what have we to do with it ? Why should we interfere ? Had we left Spain alone since 1820, Spain would be in a far better condi tion now to claim, and to keep her liberties. But, foreign intermeddling, diplomacy, and parties, have so worn and worried Spain, have given birth to such premature, ineffectual, and unnatural move ments and excitement, that now, when the real time has come for enthusiasm, and for vigour, there is none left of either. And whilst all Europe flings off its chains, Spain crouches beneath the boot of NARVAEZ. If she wishes to do eo, we say for GOD'S sake let her. There is no free dom in the world worth having but the freedom that a nation conquers for itself. The letters which have passed between Mr. BIM WER and the Duke of SOTOMATOR, of which we have before given the purport, and of which we now give the text, have caused us pain. We feel humi liated at England's entering into altercation with beings so vile, and at England's, after all, not having the best of the argument. Is it not time for us to come to the conviction, that Spain had better be left alone ? In the present state of Europe there is no fear but that any people which deserve liberty can acquire it. Lord PALMERSTON was not able, either by lectures ar commando to give any impulse or aid to liberalism lin France, or in Austria ; yet it has advanced and triumphed without his lordship's assistance. Could not the Cite of Spain be entrusted safely to the same providence and the same current of circumstances? In the present condition of Europe, we should strongly recommend any and every British minister to rest on his oars, and abstain from act or comment, as far as Europe is con cerned. It is idle and absurd to preach to a con flagration, or to volunteer calm advice to persons struggling for their lives, fortunes, and positions. NARTAEZ and SOTOMATOR are drowning men. To assume the didactic tone towards them, as Lord PAL MERSTON has dose, is simply preposterous. Cannot his lordship let them sink or swim, or at least re serve his counsels till after the catastrophe ?—for a catastrophe must come in Spain, as in every country where power has oscillated from despotism to license, and where it has never yet been able to settle in a fair, free, and constitutional system. Ye, IT is rare to meet among the moneyed class — whether merchants, manufacturers, or retired capi talists—a man who regards with tranquillity the aspect of our financial affairs. One and all of this elms admit frankly, in private conversation, that much money is levied in the name of the public service which is not applied to its ostensible purpose—that the burden of taxation is unfairly and injudiciously apportioned, pressing heavily on the poor and leaving the rich comparatively exempt—and that many of our taxes have a tendency to drive trade and industry from their natural channels Into such as are compara tively unprofitable. They anticipate from this mis management diminution of the national resources, falling off in the revenue, weakening of national credit, discontent, and turbulence. And yet these men, who have so much at stake, will not raise their voices against perseverance in a system of impolicy which 111 hurrying the nation to the verge of ruin. Ask them to speak oat, and they reply : " Wait till a more convenient season offers—till excitement is over." It is as if the physician, when called to the bedside of a patient, isho..ld propose to wait till the fever wee over before he applied his remedies. The excitement comes of the very abuses of which they oomplain, and will not be over till they are remocA er till they have exhausted the national energies be yond even the power of complaining. \VII9 A lga ..- f.'' .A know of no convenient amen but the prerat- - Past • ' 7 2 .. /1 aseasio calms. w In good time some of the more intelligwilkand 1'7.1 lute of the Liverpool merchant s have benkan !hart j r l, T tit, stints silence in which their class elser :to 4 les, :t4..__l:t:‘,,c 1 o:.its,. l!krei-0 i.
