Yeatoarton—Mcralaa, Ada pot I ; Menaces, 46 =a. pat I. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 28. THE English public are just now gathered round a dangerously convulsed spasmodic currency patient. 'They see, what, indeed, if they could not see, they would feel, on that shin of the moral man, his pocket, that something is fatally wrong with the poor object of their interest ; but, notwithstanding their sympathy with its quivering convulsions, they remain incapable of pronouncing on the nature of the malady—much more on the probable remedy for the disease. One, irideed, opines that this. falling . sickness has come upon the markets from the depletion of the circulation caused by PEEL'S last bill. Another, with more noise and vehemence, argues that it is rather the excessive consumption of produce sold in the markets, on which railways have brought so many hungry mouths of well-pail navigators and other skilled and unskilled labourers. But surely, if the sages, whom we cell political economists, have not taught us wrongly, an increased consumption and lessened stocks should lead to aught but panic and want of money. For money, under such circumstances, ought rather to be wandering about the land seeking for a habita tion, and finding it not in empty warehouses; wherein, as in bankers' chests, money dwells not con tently, but ever craceth for departure into cotton bales, flour barrels, sugar hogsheads, shares, mines, mills, or even Mexico. But not only are there at present fewer of these things, but what there are of them have shrunk in value ; that is, have squeezed out of themselves some of the money they ence held. Where then is the cash that ought, theoretically, to be abundant ? Has it gone abroad ? Eastward ? Westward? Some has undoubtedly oozed out. Six millions sterling perhaps. Bat ought the disappear ance of even ten millions to make the five or six thou sand millions (to put down the value of England at thoeepaltry figures) partly 35 per cent.cheaper, partly valueless? It should not. The departure of six millions does not show that we are by so much exceeding our income. For how vast is the capital of English mer chants that is always abroad! Is not the life blood of trade at Rio de Janeiro, and at St. Louis of Mis souri, at Delhi and Rangoon, at Timbuctoo and Mo gador, English money? Must not English capital till the trade chenoeli of India, America and Africa, before the current of profit will run through them ? Will not the sovereigns we have sent to JONATHAN, which he cannot circulate, and will not recoin, and which lie in costly useless splendour in the cellars of American banks, "burn in his pockets" till he can spend them in strong drinks and finery in our shops? Are we then to rain our workers, our landowners, our miners and our traders—everybody, in short, but Swedish and Italian singers and French and Danish dancers-- that we may get our six millions of sovereigns back? Why, a e have thrown eight millions into the frothy whirl of Irish dirty water, and shall never get them back—have flung them to a people whom they will make less industrious, less productive, worse cus tomers! Or do we do all this that we may "turn the exchanges ;" that we may make our goods so cheap that all the world will be tempted to come and buy! Formerly we used to encourage exportation another way-by bounties. Then such sages as write City articles in leading journals, argued that it was unmet' for this country to pay, that foreigners might hare our goods for Ices than they cost or would bring at home. Well, are we not now " forcing down prices to turn the exchanges" ?—doing what govern ment did by bounties on exportation ; save that now individual traders, not as then the people who paid taxes for bounties, stiffer the lees ? But does this answer? Do we, by crippling trade, by rendering bargain and sale at home impossible, facilitate exportation Why, before the goods can be exported, they must be bought of and paid for to the maker. And this we hinder. Have we not all read, that in Manchester foreign orders could not be exe cuted, because foreign agents could not get the bills they must draw against shipments cashed? Strange way this of encouraging export, that our sales might be equal to our purchases. PEEL'S last bill was to preserve the currency as nearly as might be in an equablestate--at an absolutely equal amount —that so traders might not be confused by having to attend to aught save the supplies and the consumption of the goods they traded in ; that the honest farmer, miner, manufacturer, might not find the value of his produce sunk or raised by de crease or increase on the quantity of the mea ure of value. Has this been done ? There were lately some days—some awful days— during which the measure of value had altogether disappeared ! Mines, mills, and their produce, had no value! With a famine impending over the land, American flour would not bring money ! All because a few millions of sovereigns had gone from us, leav iig twice as many uncalled for, and therefore not wanted, in the cellars of the Bank ! While the aim of PEEL'S bill was to make the quantity of currency as nearly as may be the same, its actual effect has been another sliding scale, multiplying the subtrac tion from the currency of the export of sovereigns. We pretend not to understand how these thini can be the proper and salutary results of the Great Regu latory Bill. Nor do we think it necessary to trouble ourselves with such vain inquiries. We see that the bill is a failure in practice : we knew that it was wrong in moral design ; that it aimed at regulation what is above, or beneath , or beside, the of government ; that it intruded the official clerk into our private business ; that it carried on the most diffi cult, delicate, and dangerous departments of trade— the trade on credit—that its whole principle, and its every practice, was interference—interference which its very author had admitted to be too dangerous and impracticable for the rougher trade in beeves and grain. We refuse to follow through their tortuous wind ings of fallacy and falsehood the arguments of the millionaires, who thrive by the fluctuations of money, and by this craft have their wealth. It is enough that we see horrid ruin and ridiculous failure follow these promises of freedom from panic; and that we know that no law should overrule the consent of the community to receive as sufficient payment whatever they may think each, or should make ' a purely me chanical art," as ADAM SMITH calls banking, a mys tery and a monopoly. OUR readers who take an interest in Scotch affairs are aware of the rather warm dispute that has been waged between the established and free churches in Scotland, respecting the right of property in certain chapels erected by private subscription not long be fore the " disruption." To this pretty numerous class we feel confident the intelligence contained in our Edinburgh correspondent's letter, that there is a reasonable prospect of this painful and unedifying contest being terminated by negotiation, will afford unalloyed satisfaction. The state of the question is simply as follows : Previous to 1833, only 63 chapels were erected in connexion with the Scotch 'establishment in the course of a century, while 500 dissenting presby terian churches sprung . up in half that time. Pre cious to 1833, the ministers of chapels in connexion with the establishment had no voice in the church courts. In 1834, the general assembly of the church of Scotland enacted that all ministers of chapels of ease should be constituent members of the presby teries and synods within whose bounds they were situated, and eligible to sit in the general assembly. Between the time of passing this act and the end of 1840, 216 chapels of ease in connexion with the este . blishment were erected at an expense of 287,5001 There can be no doubt that the inducement to build these chapels was the prospect of their ministers and congregations being allowed the full rights of church o:timaskup. Since the secession of the free church the establish ment have again reduced the whole of these places of public worship from the position they occupied to that of mere chapels or preaching stations. Yet, after thus violating the agreement under which they were erected, the establishment insist upon seizing and re taining the whole of them. At the time et the " dis ruption" a great majority of the ministers and people of these chapels adhered to the free church ; and in every such case the establishment have either taken possession of the chapel (under protest), or instituted a process before the civil courts to have it delivered up to them. It must be kept in mind that the free church minis ters officiating in these chapels are, in many instances, the individuals for whom they were built, and the congregations, the individuals at whose expense they have been built and maintained. The establishment claim them on the ground of clauses in the title deeds declaring that they shall belong to the esta blished church ; wilfully overlooking the fact that the parties who erected and occupy (or till of late occu pied) them, made this gift to the establishment, on the express condition that their congregations and ministers should enjoy all the constitutional privileges of parochial churches. The establishment having broken its promise, ought, in common honesty, to restore the gift. In a memorial addressed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL by a committee of the General Assembly of the Free Church, the claims of that body, in respect to the chapels, is thus stated: " Your memorialists do not desire to retain all the churches —they do not desire any party triumph—they simply desire to retain and secure what they can prove to be their own ; and they would respectfully eagges , , that if an act of parlia ment were passed, authorising every case to be settled on principles of equity, by arbitration or other wise, after heariug full evidence, the ends of justice would be effectually secured, whilst that formidable and growing mass of litigation, and that asperity of feeling which have sprung. up and which will undoubtedly yet result from the present state of matter', would be effectually checked." The general assemblies of both churches are at this time in session ; and it is to be hoped, before they separate, the overture made by the representatives of the free to those of the established church, to acquiesce in the reference to arbiters herein suggested, will be courteously responded to in the affirmative. Nothing tends so much to injure religion in the estimation of the worldly-minded, as disputes relating to property between religious bodies. IT is long since "a nice man" was defined to be a man of " nasty ideas." The definition receives an ex cellent illustration from a r ep orted discussion in that chosen show-place for all wi sd om, humanity, and good taste, the Marylebone Vestry. The other day, while urging on our readers the claim of the baths and wash-houses in Glasshouse-yard, we observed that Sir PETER LAURIE objected to them as ying room for indecent exposure . Mr. SMITH, the honorary secre tary of a similar establishment in George-street, Euston-square, attended on Saturday at the vestry meeting to "express the surprise and regret of the committee" at Str PETER LAURIE'S statement, that he had seen two or three dozen bathers in the plunge bath whose gambols were indecent and disgusting. Mr. SMITH, it appears, had himself conducted Sir PETER over the establishment, when there was a per son learning to swim in the large plunging-bath, and four persons in the smaller, who were conducting themselves in a very orderly and proper manner. Sir PETER expressed his cordial and unqualified appro bation of the arrangements. In a letter to Mr. SMITH, however, who had di rected Sir PETER'S attention to the report of his statement to the vestry, Sir PETER acknowledges its correctness except as to the numbers, and declares that it expresses his opinion correctly. He confesses that the committee have a guard always on duty, but considers that the low compartments (about four feet higb, says Mr. SMITH) in which men dress and un dress themselves, all but publicly, in each other's sight, "are quite insufficient for the preserving that decency " which he is certain the committee is desi , roue of maintaining. From circumstances forced upon Sir PETER'S notice as a magistrate, he feels coa -1 vinced " that public plunging-baths are most objec tionable." Every man has a right to his opinion. And every man has a right to express his opinion of another man's opinion. Sir PETER LAURIE claims, and exercises, both rights to the full, and must net be surprised that he occa sionally finds himself the subject of comment instead of the commentator. Logic would suggest, that if Sir PETER objects to four feet boarding as not high enough, he might insist on six feet or seven feet compartments. But he prefers to object altogether to the plunging-bath. It is the same " lunatic zeal and conscience " which urged Sir PETER against suburban swings, that now drive him headlong into plunging-baths. His virtue is at once of the most lustrous water, and the most delicate susceptibility to dirt. It seems able to defy any shock, and to tremble at every breath. He is so pure that the slightest suggestion of impropriety fills him with the nastiest notions possible. His last ex ploit is worthy of the rest, and in a more suitable cause. Such a Don QUIXOTE demands antagonists more able to defend themselves than swinge and ad vertising vans. So Sir PETER mounts dirt for his Rosinante, crowns himself with an empty . wash-hand basin, and runs a tilt against Cleanliness in the name of Prudery. We feel by no means disposed to let this last freak pass as good-humouredly as its predecessors. It is no flattery of the poor to say that among those who avail themselves of these cheap baths there is no more likelihood of finding any disgusting indecency than amongst a parcel of Eton boys amusing themselves in the Thames, or a batch of Sunday cockneys dis porting in " the tepid" at Brighton. Sir PETER refers to his magisterial experience. Seated at Ouildhall,he has now and then a filthy and dangerous rascal brought before him, and straightway concludes that all poor men bathing are filthy and dangerous. The syllogism by which he arrives aWhis conclusion is a LAURIAN one. Oa the same principle, all the parks should be shut up, because these villains, to whom Sir PETER alludes, find them convenient places for their extortions and abominable threats. Bat that a man, in no way distinguished for large nese of knowledge, splendour of virtues, peculiar hu manity, or anything else to justify or excuse him in passing judgment on a large class of his fellows, should venture thus to throw a slur on the persons using these baths and wash-houses, and should find a nephew to support him in the insinuation, is at once surprising, sad, and disgusting. It indicates that habit (most unpleasantly characteristic of wealth and corporate importance in this country) of passing the most sweeping censures upon the poor on the lightest provocation ; of speaking to them and of them as if they belonged altogether to a different order in the human scale; of forgetting when they are concerned, not only gentlemanly courtesy, but Chris tian charity and common consideration. It is the same spirit which generally guides workhouse autho rities in their dealings with pauper*, and too often masters and mistresses of the middle class in their treatment of servants. We have no wish to flatter the poor. As human beings they are the same as the , rich, with the accidents of life very much less in their favour, and playing havoc with a great deal that is most necessary to make them good men and good citizens. Those who tell them that they are always virtuous, wronged, insulted and trampled under foot by the rich, are their worst enemies, whatever be their intentions. But take them with all their good and bad, both natural and the growth of circum stances, and they have a claim as men to be treated with a respect and consideration which Sir PETER LAURIE, and others like him, Deems always to forget. He attacks the plunging-bath, because it may lead to indecency. This too, remember, when a guard is continually present, and all dressing and undressing take place in separate compartments ; so that every one mast be in the plot for anything indecent to occur without exposure. In exactly the same spirit a na tional schoolmaster, of the LAURIE class of intelli gence, being found by the inspectors to have given up teaching his scholars to write, and asked the reason, replied that when they did learn writing they only used the knowledge to write bad words in their books and on the wale. The inspectors were not satisfied with this answer ; though of course Sir PETER LAURIE mint, to be consistent, approve of it entirely. Probably it was on similar good and sufficient reasons thathe denounced the "humbug of education," because as a magistrate he often found thieves able to read and write. Really some situation should be found for this worthy kni A ht. Ifs is one of those candles whose beams are hid under a bushel in Guildhall. Were it nut that we and eur brethren of the press occa sionally take him oat and stick him into oar columns, a pet deal of hia light world be wasted. Why does he not get into parliament? COlGnei SIETRORP is becoming rather stale. We know no one who would wear the cap and bells of St. Stephen'. so gracefully QS Sir Prrea LAURIE—the patter down of swings and suicide, of advertising vans and educa tion, of cock-shins and cleanliness. But it is not his single self, great as that is, that tempta us to notice him. He is a type. Much of the silly selfishness and cool conceit, and petty bustling prejudice, Which seem to keep up the liveliness, but really aid the vis inertia of society, and either obstruct alt improve ment, or mar it in the working, may be traced to its parochial Sir PETERS, always anxious to be doing, and al ways doing wrong, not from any well-con sidered preference for mischief, but from sheer inability to draw a sound logical conclusion, and without that intuitive sense of nght which, for many persons, supplies the want of logic. The journals and correspondence of Paris of Wed nesday are engrossed by the discussion of postage reform. The debate was continued in the chamber, but the result was not doubtful. The new minister of finance made a speech, in which he reproduced all the old arguments, so familiar in England, against the Hill system, and declared that the government was determined to oppose it now and hereafter. The National gives, as proceeding from its private sources of information, that intrigues for the expul sion of the Guizot-Duchatel ministry from office have ripened, and that the new cabinet has been settled even in its minutest details. For some timp cer tain secret agents have, according to that journal, bean engaged in a negotiation with M. Mole, whose reluctance to assume the cares and responsibilities of office have at length been =mounted. "We give," continues the Nit- Mona:, " the following list as it has been given to us, and, without going farther, we say that It is very probable to be carried into effect : M. Mole, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M. Dufaure, Interior ; M. Hippolyte Passy, Finance ; M. Dode de la Brunerie, War ; M. Billault, Marine; M. Vivien,Justice ; M. Darn, Public Works; M. St. Marc Girardin, Public Instruction ; M. Bignon, Commerce. Besides these, MM. Itivet, Biaean,&c., are to be included. The young conservatives represented by La Freese are to be propitiated by the poet-office, =toms, &c. This cabinet is to be called " the ministry of the two centres." Queen Christina proceeds, in the first instance, to Rome, and not, as was stated, to Naples. Her imme diate object, it is said, is to use her influence at the Vatican to prevent Queen Isabella front obtaining a divorce, and thus to secure the succession of the Duchess of Alontpensier and her consort to the Spanish throne. In this she will, of course, be sup ported by the French ambassador at Rome. The Minister of Finance brought, on Wednesday, two important bills before the Chamber—the first, to the effect tint if, on the Ist May, 1848, the Paris and Lyons railway company should refuse to execute the works according to its agreement, the government should be authorised to take the line in hand, reim bursing to the aforesaid company the expense of the works already carried out, retaining, at the same time, the double of the caution-money deposited; that is to say, 24 millions of francs. The second bill pro poses a similar proceeding as regards the Lyons and Avignon line, retaining, however, the simple amount only of the caution money deposited ; that is, 10 millions. Advices from Madrid of the 21st init. say that the Queen was still at Amnjuez, and the King at the Pardo. The court, however, was expected to return to Madrid on the 23rd. Private letters from Aranjuez say that the Queen leads there a regular and mono tonous life. She is constantly accompanied in her walks, rides, and hunting parties, by her father-in law, Don Francisco, and her sister-in-law, the Infanta Josef& who are also present at her receptions. During the day she receives only her ministers and the members of her household. In the mornings and afternoons she walks in the public gardens, and in the evening visits the theatre. El Tiempo says, on the authority of its corre spondent at Aranjuez, that the msuneuvres to form a progresaist ministry have failed. M. Olozaga, hav ing remained several days at Aranjuez, was on the point of departure for Logrono. El Espamd denies that the separation of the King from the Queen has been caused by any domestic differences. That journal maintains that it has originated in the discontent of the King at not being allowed to exercise direct power in the affairs of the state. ROME, Ms: 18. To-morrow Pius IX. leaves Rome for a prolonged visit to the Benedictine Abbey of Sahiaco, in the , 1 Apennines, forty-four miles inland. This important move had been determined on previous to the receipt of to-day's news describing as desperate the hopes of, Mr. O'Connell's attendants of dragging him alive to this capital. No change in our sovereign's projects can be ascribed to the advent or non-arrival of the father of repeal ; indeed, when it was known here that they had decided upon a land journey from Genoa to the Tuscan frontier, involving the " Pass of the Magra," of which any of your readers can form an idea from Stanfield's picture exhibited, as I read, in this year's gallery, the hopelessness of his coming alive was demonstrated; their selecting the route to Lyons by Mont Terme having previously shown how little conversant they were in practical geography. But as for our pontiff, his mind is essentially practical; and in labouring for the substantial welfare of his people he has an utter disregard for clap-trap and mere popularity. The object of his visit to that glorious wilderness is understood to be twofold. First, he intends to reform the monastery, root and branch, and restore it to what it was in 1465, when it gave hospitality to the first print ing press that was set up in Italy; two fugitive Germans having claim( d its shelter for the printing . of the editio prineeps of Lactantius, a copy of which is carefully preserved in its once splendid library, type Sweynheim et Pannart:, MCCCCLXV. The lately defunct Cardinal Polidori was titular abbot of Sabiaco, a snug sinecure of 6,000 dollars a year. He is to have no successor in that fat berth, which lapses into the national treasury, to pay the national debt. The late Gregory, who granted the sinecure to the late Polidon, was very partial to a sojourn in these romantic regions, and from the adjacent village he brought to Rome his favourite, the famous barber Gaetanins, who trafficked in all commodities, sacred and profane, for sixteen years. The second object of our monarch is to keep aloof from the turbulent manifestations of popular applause which he anticipates from a series of new reforms fixed and decided on, of a most sweeping character. Financial, administrative, and municipal decrees will issue from hie retreat at Subiaeo, calcu lated to astonish the red-tape politicians of Europe, and smacking of the old Roman energy of Sixtus Quintus. How different his position, in this austere abode; from that of him who wrote verbose epistles from the island of Capreca to the ghost of a Roman senate! Poor Acton is gone to Naples to die ; his life is not worth a fortnight's purchase, and he was a real saint. His removal was the signal fur the break up of a very curious establishment kept on for centuries here—a government school for young aspirants to diplomatic and prelatic office, a kind of ecclesiastical Sandhurst, where " church cadetships " were the sure reward of successful intrigue and a display of clerical hypocrisy. Learning was at a low ebb in this snug gery, to which none could be admitted but of rich and noble Roman families ; but in lieu of erudition, all the arts of cajolery, duplicity, and _finesse were practically and theoretically cultivated. Pies has swept away the nuisance without pity, and seized the hinds for public use. The institution was a well-meant thing in its original inception; but, like vegetables which have been planted in too fat a soil, it had " run to seed." English litigation is very rife just now in Rome. There is the case of an old and respected incumbent, Rev. F. 'frappes versus Dr. Browne, of Liverpool; Rev. D. Hearne, for twenty years incumbent of Manchester, versus the said Dr. Browne, of Liverpool; Rev. Dr. Can, of Bristol, an old incumbent, versus the new vicar, Dr. Ullathorne ; with an Irish ease, that of the Vicar-General of Dromore versus Dr. Blake, of Newry. These cases, both English and Irish, are very discreditable to the prudence and forbearance supposed to form part of the episcopal character. Your manly and sensible opposition to the capricious des potism vested in these "wars" has been duly appre ciated here, and has worked well for the public as well as for the oppressed plaintiffs. It is too bad th it these functionaries should misspend the moneys of deceased benefactors of their church, and claim to do so by papal rescript, pour encourager lea entire, (ride case of Johnson's fund in midland district). Mr. Hominy's bill, which was introduced too late is the session, would go far to remedy these flagrant and crying abases. The savings bank here has been rohbed of 40,000 dollars, by one Tamberlick, a creature of Gregory's barber. This official is safe in Castle St. Angelo. The greatest financial reform which Pius IX. has yet effected is in the matter of the hospital of Santo Spirito, the great Hotel Dien of Rome: its revenues surpass, in land and houses, 100,0001. a year, and, of course, the official plunder is proportionate. The " master of the Spitler had so good a berth of it, that what with fines (bribes), and other douceurs, in letting out the prope rty , ho scorned a cardinal's hat, which was his on res igning his office. He has been cashiered, and the management put into the care of efficient and honest laymen. The Princess Barberini is dead, and lies in state. I have to record another investment of Lord Ward : this time he has bought, from a set of old monks who ' live close by the Fontana di Treri, a gallery of thirty pictures—some good and some bad—for the round sum of 27,000 dollars. DEBATE ON FREE TRADE IN THE FIRST PRUSSIAN CHAMBER. BERLIN, MAY 26.—Perhaps the most important de bate that Las yet taken place in the Diet—assuredly that in which foreigners are most interested—is that which took place in the chamber of the high noblesse on the 17th inst., on re ceiving the report of the committee to which Prince Lick. nowskis petition and memorial respecting the Zollverein duties on yarn, and differential duties on ships. The memorial complained that the late raising of the duties on cotton yarns from two to three dollars per centner, and on linen yarns from 6 silver groschen to two dollars per centner, had not given an impetus to the home manufacture of yarns, and had been attended with a diminution in the export of goods. On this ground it was proposed to levy a duty of five dollars per centres on all linen cotton, and woollen yarns imported, and to grant a drawb ack of four dollars on goods exported. It was also proposed to impose differential. duties on foreign in favour of Prussian ships, to arrest the alleged diminution of the national shipping. The report of the committee was guarded in the extreme. It stated that the controversies relating to the duties on yarns, to the ex pediency of drawbacks, and to a avetem of differential ditties, could not be considered as definitively settled by the deci sion of the last conference of the Zollverein; that the pet 6 tion ought, therefore, to be presented to the King with the expression of a. wish on the part of the Chamber of the high noblesse, that the Prussian government, after taking the opinion of the owners of factories, and of the Chambers of Commerce in the western, and the Merchant guilds in the eastern provinces, should again move the question in the next conference of the Zollverein. Count Itzeoplits, appointed by the committee to tender and explain their report, was as careful not to commit himself by ex pressing an opinion as the report itself. En nossant, how ever, he admitted that the raising of the duties had done more harm than good. Prince Frederic of Prussia adverted to the sufferings of the working classes in Prussia, and ex pressed a wish that something might he done to gire them additional employment. M. von Duesberg, Minister of Finance, declared that government were anxious to learn the views and wishes of the nation on the important questions raised by the petition ; that they believed these views and wishes might best he gathered from the sentiments of the estates general ; and they were determined not to give a bias to the expression of these opinions by uttering their own in advance. He wished, however, to direct the atten tion of the diet to certain considerations. The first was, that any alteration of the existing Zollverein duties depended not upon the will of the Prussian government, but of the union, and that a resolution to alter them could only be carried by an unanimous vote of the conference. The second was that with regard to the commercial legislation of Prussia, free trade had been the rule since 1818. The exceptional protective duties had been allowed, but never at a higher rote than 10 per cent. Under this legislation the national manufactures which had languished under the old restrictive system had made rapid advancer. Between 1831 and 1843 the number of looms employed in the manufacture of silk and half-silk goods had increased from 8,956 to 16,911 ; the number of cotton and halteotton Porn., from 25,464 to 47,717; the woollen looms, from 15,360 to 17,911; the stocking looms, from 2,110 to 2,272. The only falling off was in the linen manufacture. He begged to observe, that the quantity of exported goods was no sufficient criterion of the prosperity of manufactures. Between 1834.6 and 1843-5, the import of cotton twist consumed in this country increased from 242,000 centner to 438,000: in 1846 the in crease was still greater. During the some time the import of cotton increased from 120,000 to 340,000. The increase of the raw material and the hall-manufecture was more than double. But the whole amount of exported cotton goods was only 77,000 centner. In other words, six-sevenths of their cotton manufactures were consumed in the country, and only one.seventh exported. Their manufacturing In dustry was evidently or, the increase ; and, as the imports of cotton had increased in a somewhat larger ratio than those of twist, it was obvious that the spinners too had participated in the advance. He begged to observe that, when the question of differential duties was brought before the conference at Carlsruhe by the Pros-ian government, the sense of the Union was found decidedly opposed to it. With reglad to the Prussian user. cantile marine, M. von Duesberg produced some statistical , tables, to show that it was on the increase under the existing system. The Crown Prince expressed a wi-h that any branch of Prussian industry that might be depressed should be supported by protective duties ; which he thought might be done without discarding the general fundamental prin I ciple of free-trade. With respect to differential duties, he was for favouring the shipping of those nations which favoured theirs. He adverted to an article which had appeared in a certain journal, to the effect that there was net likely to be any conference of the Zollverein this year, end wished the Minister of Finance to declare whether that was really the case, or whether, as he hoped, the article was an unacknowledged one (ein vertorner Zeilungs artikel). The Minister of Finance said that the tariff of the Zollverein could not be altered except at the end of every three years. The period at present running termi nated next year ,• and, under the se circumstances, it was very unlikely that any conference would be held during the present. Prince Adalbert, of Prussia, expressed his concurrence with what had fallen from the Crown Prince . Count Sandretzky (Silesia) protested against all protective duties which fostered manufactures like hothouse plants. He had witnessed during the past winter the fatal effects of encouraging artificial industries. Count Shaffgotsch, of Warmbrunn (Silesia), adverted to the decline of the linen manufacture in his province since 1799, and advocated pro tective duties as necessary for the interest of the working elegies. Count Dyrhn said that the collocate of protective duties was simply this : A hags protective duty which injures B, and therefore 41 must have a protective duty to injure A. Count DohnneLsuck (Prussia) would be inclined to vote fur higher protective duties, because he believed the majority of the nation wished them. The risk of reprisals must, how ever, be taken into consideration. M. von SenfthPilsach cross-questioned the Minister of Finance with a view to elicit information respecting the intentions of government, but the minister was too many for him. Prince lechnowsky spoke his own memorial over again. H. Kiihne (general director amen) adverted to the fact that the linen manu facture, said to be the most depressed, was the least exposed to competition. He did not see what increased duties could do to help it. It was true there were dis turbances at present among the unemployed linen-weavers ; but there had also been riots, and for the same cause, among theMinl79o,when the system of protection was most stringent. Count Von Arnim inclined to the protective system; the most flourishing branch of national industry—the woollen manufacture—was that which had been most protected, He advocated differential duties on shipping as the only means of inducing the north-sea states to join the Zollverein. He wished to see a German navy created. The General Director of Taxes and Prince Adalbert of Prussia stated some facts which allowed that the Prussian marine was in creasing wider the existing system. Count Ds rhea begged to correct a statement made by Count Arnim : the cloth manufacture was quite as much depressed in Silesia as the linen. Count Zieten pointed out that the depression of the linen manufacture was in great part owing to the use of cottons having superseded that of linens. The report of the committee was adopted with a slight modification. FRANCE.—Toe CANON TRISTANY.—The Journal des Dibags publishes the following particular. respecting the celebrated Carlin chief, Tristany, contained in a letter dated Barcelona the 20th instant r—'• The execution of Tristany, on the 17th, at SoLsona, which he had burnt 10 years before, wee attended by an immense concourse of people. That earliest chief, who from 1833 to 1840 never gave quarter to any of his enemie., and who, from a calculation made by a journal of our city, must have shot about 1,200 persons, evinced no courage at his lot hour. It was necessary to sup port him on his way to the place of execution, and he was unable to conceal his dejection and the terror that agitated him. The day Tristany fell into the hands of the Queen's troops, another Carlist chief, Roe de Eroles, who lately arrived from France, was surprised in a country house by a detachment of the troops of Colonel Baum.. Having refused to surrender, he fell pierced with several bullets. The pariah priest, Jose Resell, and commander Valcrio Roca, who had likewise arrived from France, having been taken with arms in their hands, were shot the next day. The Captain-General, Pavia, has published a proclamation, granting a complete amnesty to all the factious who should submit within a delay of eight days. The death of Tristany and Roe de Eroles will probably cause the dispersion of all the insurgent bands. Tristany, by his experience, his influence, and extraordinary vigour, was the soul of the Carlist movement Ciltaiollll. He was bsrn at Ardebol, and was 63 years of age. He had studied at Solsona, where he made himself conspicuous by his agility in all bodily exercises. and his untitneee for all laborious Undies. In 1622 his family wished him to enter Holy °niers, and he was only admitted to them after the third examina tion. Tristany hod scarcely been ordained a month when the events of 1822, recalled him to his natural vocation, and induced him to levy a corps of Royalist partisans. The services he rendered the Rey neto caused him to I be nominated in succession Captain, Commander, Colo. nel, and Brigadier. At the clue of the war Ferdi nand VII. conferred on him the dignity of canon of the Cathedral of Gerona. This new office was little suited to his taste. He was oftener enjoying the sports of the field than praying with the chapter, and he sometimes client several dos and night-. together in the mouttaine. He him self used to say that he cos fitter to hold a sword than a breviary. lie took arms Beaus in 1833, add only laid them down in 1840. His exploits and atrodtive during the' seven years' civil war are well known. Every soldier or militia man who became his prisoner was put to death with out exception. As to the inoffensive civilians, he was in the habit of fixing a pitch cap en their heads, sad sending them home after they had endured the most excruciating suffer ings. From 1840 to 1846 Trietany constantly remained in the mountains of Arbedol. He lived in the woods and , and sometimes received hostritslity in isolated houses whose owners were devoted to hue. Hu life was leveret times menaced by deceived husbands or forsaken I lovers, for he often abused the confidence placed in him to gratify his passions. He was a man of ferocious habits and dissolute morals." A naval court-martial assembled at Toulon on the 21st inst., Admiral Parseval-Dechines acting as president, to try Lieut. Costlier, of the royal navy, for the lass of the Caraibe steamer on the western coast of Midas. According to the regulations, in every vessel commanded by a capilaine de volume, the second in command must be a capitaine de corvette; but in the case in question, it appeared from the evidence that there was no capilaine de corvette on board the Caraibe, and that the command f the v. soel, in the absence of the capitaine de vaisseau, devolved on Lieut. Costlier. It was proved also that this latter officer, whose experience in naval matters was fully acknowledged, had constantly taken his orders from Admiral Montagne& de la Roque, the officer in command of the squadron on the west ern coast of Africa, whose flag was floating from the vessel that was wrecked. The court, after duly weighing the evi dence, gave in a verdict of acquittal.DENMAßK.—A Leith correspondent of the North British Mail says that the Danish government has des patched ships of war to St. Petersburgh, to bring cargoes of rye te Copenhagen.
