Grey, by a majority greater than his mom sanguine ventured to anticipate. Sir George took the lead a s rr t Z rs en s t encement on Tuesday morning, and maintained his beam-able position until the close yesterday, when the Wilms stood [hut : Sir G. Grey Lord Loraine 1236 Lord Osuletes Majority for Sir G. Grey l3O At the dose of the poll, at Alneriek, yesterday, Sir G. Avg eddnased a large crowd from the window of hie cons. Tgieigeipla which had achieved, end Mode merry with she predicament is which his coalesced opponents found them selves, the real contest haring evidently been between them- Nivel. The right hon. baronet was received with enthusiastic awing, and soon afterwards lett for Falloden, his country stet- The excitement which the election has occasioned through- , out the county has been intense. The real extent of the victory cannot cosily be comprehended at a distance. Sir G. Grey has not hail to fight with principle, but with power ; Ins opponents were not the electors, as a bodv,but the landlords, u s cum, backed by the influence of the buke of Northum berland, the Earl of Tankerrille, and other titled personages in the county, whose agents have been neiiher inactive nog wirapul,s. The result, therefore, is as creditable to the independent spirit as to the intelligence of the great body of the elector.. At Alnwick, and the various podding-places at Newcastle end along the Berwick line, the announcement of Sir George's success called forth the strongest expressions of re pang. The declaration to-morrow will call forth a marked malliwtation of popular feeling. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. Her Majesty's steamer Phamix, arrived at Ports mouth, has brought us accounts from Lisbon to the 4th inst. By an ordinance published on the lot inst., the liberty of the press and of the subject had been restored, and by a subsequent decree the municipal bodies of the kingdom were directed to proceed to new elections ; but nothing had been decided on as to the meeting of the Cortes, nor, what is perhaps of more importance, respecting a change of ministers. It ap pears, after all, that the representatives of the allied powers had refrained from pressing Lord Palmerston's requisition for the dismissal from power of the Ca balist ministry. which is accounted fur by an indis positionon their part to emtarrass the government in the present position of affairs. It was, however, understood that the demand would be made imme diately, in the shape of a "collective note," with' which the queen would probably comply, though protesting against such an uncalled-for interference with her prerogatives. It was reported that Sir G. Sey mour had placed before her majesty a list, comprising some thirty names, from which any selection made would be satisfactory to the allies ; but in the selec tion of a ~ew cabinet there were numerous difficulties on all hands, and not the least of them was the bank rupt state of the nation. Das Antas was still at Lisbon, and had addressed a remonstrance to the ministers of three powers as to the cruelties inflicted on political prisoners. An attempt upon the life of Sada Bandeira was rumoured. As to the state of affairs, the Dior° reports thus : " In general, pence is everywhere gradually re-es tabliahed. Isolated attempts have been made here and there, but it is certain that they have obtained no fruit whatever." The same journal published royal decrees—the first re-establishing the depart ments of adjutant-general and quarter-master-general as definitively annexed to the commander-in-cbiefship of the army, which is vested in the king, the Viscount Campanhaa, the king's aide-de-camp, resuming the functions of quarter-master-general; and the second decree reorganising the war-office. The junta of public credit bad published the programme of the grand national lottery, which is to cancel about half a mil lion sterling of Bank of Lisbon notes. The sale of tickets proceeded slowly ; but if it could be effected, it would afford great relef. We annex the letter of ' a Lisbon correspondent : LISBON, Arorsr 3. Her Majesty's war-steamer Phataiz has suddenly received orders from the admiral to leave for England with despatches. She sails at day-break to-morrow, and as a mail "making up, lam enabled to give you a - we brief headings of Lisbon news, aid of the various on rids that are now 160 re particatarly attracting while attention. First, then, and the most prominent and important event as regards facts, Isn'heen the removal of the restricons upon the liberty of the subject and the freedom of the press, and yeeterassy (Sunday being no publishing day with us) we had the satis faction of seeing all our old friends of the press in the field again, the nerolercao de Neembro, Patrin!a, &c., bend" ionic one or two new claimants unon public luna tion; amongst these latter is the Eatandarte, a paper put forwent by the Cabral'', an abusive but a very feeble and miserable affair in reference to literary ability; in fact sews. paper talent in Portugal is as yet but at a very low ebb. To the very moment of the re-appearance of the journals there was hardly other opinion but that the obnoxious ordi nances would have been renewed; and it is believed ster.e. tally, and the impression is I believe well founded, that to our minister, Sir George Seymour', energetic remonstrance alone, we are indebted to this first and very imp_artant article of the protocol being complied with. The tone of the journals, as may naturally be anticipated. is not a :act ly of the most conciliatory description; but, "fleeing upon the muses of exasperation already past and those yet in existence, some clamour might be expected. With the queen, her husband, and the court, neither English admiral nor minister is in very great favour, a testimony, by the way, of their exertions being honestly bent to seethe queen's promises and pledges fairly and fully car. tied out. At a ball given on the 31st by the officers of the National Guard, to the Marquis of Pronteira d'Aloena, their Wand, a marked slight was offered to Sir Wm. Parker, there prefect ; it was of a trumpery description, but sufficient to show a paltry animus the French and the Spanieh re tinal &nth, ms were repeatedly played during the evening, and vociferously applauded, while our English " God save the Queen" wee purposely omitted. The entertainment itself was of a meagre description, a 1 may be supposed, where early the entire nobility and gentry of a kingdom are estranged from a court, and do not recognise the dynasty of the sovereign. Not but there were present a numerous sprinkling of new made counts and barons; but these gen try for the pres e nt, wear their bleeding honours but awkwardl y —recollections of the counter and the shop stilt embarrass theta. Nor can we expect their se.od and lusty dames to mem extetly the grace and ease of the highborn Ir.d:es of more exclusive courts. /be arrival of the Duke of Saldanha from the north, and the manner of his reception at the palace, have furnished food for gossip, for, not only cad the queen abstain from the usual courtesy of sending one of the royal carriages to re ceive him, but the Prince of Saxe Coburg, her husband, with the little princes, purposely absented themselves from the mewl on the occasion of hie landing, and the poor marshal had to find his way to the palace in • hackney coach. He is "Presented as feeling the slight moat bitterly. The Count des Antos has addressed a strong remons tr ance upon the pre treat Cite of things to the representatives of the three powers, and complains that even at the moment of his writing, the gaols, both here and in other points of the kingdom. were crowded with political prisoners, and that life was not Beare in Lisbon. The document, it is stated, met with very serious attention. A cowardly and attrocious attempt cos made a few slays past to assassinate the Viscount Sada Bandeira, another popular chief, who since his alter ' from prison has been residing with the alsrquie of Fayal ( the Duke of Palmells's son), at his country seat at Luteear. A party of public employs essayed to waylay him en his way to Lisbon, but, timely Iwt icc being given him, the Viscount turned back, was fortunate enough to escape the knives of me wearies. Great excitement is the consequence ; in fact, Me condurt of th, government partisans, military and civil, lief the most vile description. I believe I told you in my int that a battalion, the Sixteenth, notorious for its cowardice in the field and misconduct in quarters, had been ormaitting a series of outrages on the persons of the Gallegos, 11 0 are the water-caniers, end in general our domestic ser vants. The Spanish minister has insisted upon proportionate Pultiehreent being inflicted, and went so far as to intimate that be should require • his warports in event of re tool The matter is still in abeyance, but the bat talk"' W ill be moat likely sent into the provinces, th thus one e l ement of discord will he got rid of in 7°1 41 4 Of the exAzores ition to reduce the we hare ',!,dirt. but, by a sal ped mi just in from Madeira,we learn that ~ , s 26th ult. the Queen's authori mem meettablished in n . "Wei, arid her governor ind Jacketed into ... PM. A royal chow has been published, ordering the 7' municipal bodies of the kingdom to proceed to new elections, and the twentieth d this month is need upon for the preli minary preparations, such as registration, &e., but not a word have we yet as monk the summoning of the Cortes. The government m o st likely will be anxious to get the mu nicipal elections over first; fur, in the event of tolerable sue - ems with these (and with a savage soldiery at the polling-booths who can doubt the result), they will have a powerful machinery to work in their favour when the parliamentary elections come on. The government is as it was,—no Mange for the preemie We are told, indeed, of Sir George Seymostr's having placed before the Quest a list of over thirty persons from whom any selection mode by her majesty would be deemed prudent and acceptable to the allies, but the insurmountable difficulty, want of mew, bilk fair to beat all diplomacy on this head out of the kid. The affairs of the bank, too, appear is rift Mat day worse and worse; the notes are at the monad amount I gave you in my last, but M um Oahe demeaning with ten pounds' worth of them ; they seen, however, as the medium of speculation and =ling amompt the dozen or so of the characterless vaga who have benefitted so largely by the Peckeite revolatiee, sad amongst whom have been shared the church lands and national property of the entire kingdom. It must be the task of the English press to cry out and warn the English capitalist against further fraudulent attempts upon English purses ; that the attempt will be Made is cer tain, impudent as it may appear. The exchange upon England is ' at thirty days, 541 to 1 ; ninety days', 54: to 55. Spanish, Brazilian, anu Mexican dollars, at 915 rm. English sovereigns, at 4800 ras. Die cuunt on Portuguese Moeda note of 4900, is 1800. The corn crops are magnificent. I have jam returned from a trip up the Tips and across the Letitia', and never yet saw in any part of Europe so fine and so abundant a show of grain. What a country might Portugal yet become, with a good government, or in any other hands but the desperate and needy adventurers woe, since 1834, llama driven away its cipital from legitimate investment, while they individually have been enriching themselves by a universal scramble fur the resources of the state.

This match of cricket mu commenced on Monday, in Box'. Reyal.grounds, Brighton, and terminated on Tuesday, greatly in favour of Sussex, as will be seen by the subjoined score. Some of the best players in the kingdom were engaged, and some very fine play was shown. Dean, one of the Marylebone-ground, a Slimes man, had a very long innings • and Mr. Clarke, the slow bowler, batted re markably well. Sewell, another of the Ground, wu very unlucky. The bowlirg of Wieden was the admiration of the field. There were 1,500 spectators present the first day, and 1,080 on the second. This is the second time Sussex has beaten Marylebone this season.

For a short time, indeed, Consols were quoted at 87 to .1 for account, which were in advance; but they afterwards returned to the opening rates of 87! to for money, and 87; to I for account. They are now reported to be rather lower, and for account the nearest prices are 871 to Z. The business has not been of much consequence to-day, so far. Re duced Threes, 871 to 1.

No notice had issued from the Bank, at the board meeting to-day, of any alteration in the minimum rate of interest, down to a quarter of an hoar ago. In foreign stocks we have few transactions, and our quotations are nearly as before. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 56 to 3 ; the Fours, 89 to 1, but heavy at these prices.

CO RN.—BosToN, Aug. 11.—After showery weather since Ssturday, we have very hot, forcing to-day, which has prevented any matyrial advance in old Wheat. Harvest is general in Lincolnshire, and we have had a good many new Oats on sale to-day, offered at es. per qr. lege than was ob tainable last week. The millers requiring Wheat have given folly late prices. Beans and old Oats, cads 2a. per qr. lower. No new Wheat yet sold. Wheat, red, 60.. to 655. ; white, 63e. to 675. Oats, new, 23. to '26s. ; old, 28r. Beans, 525. to 565. per qr. to the growers. Hutt, Aug. 10.-The weather has been rather broken 'since our last report ; no great amount of rain bus fallen, and ' certainly not more than the long continuance of dry and hot weather rendered needful. AU spring corn and the Turnips will be much benefitted, and, if it do not con tinue long, Wheat will be no worse for the refreshing showers lately and at present experienced. We have no alteration to make in the remarks of last week relative to the different parts of the 'pantry ; they have received wallahs tion from all the lee= come to band during the week. The trade assumed somewhat more of firmness oa Wednes day and Thursday of last week. People seemed to be think ing that the decline had been too serious, and the panic too sudden and senseless to last, and millers were beginning to look after indeed samples of Whist, when the unfortunate failures announced is Mark-lane on Friday threw a cosi plete gloom over the trade. Qaotations just now are quite fallacious. At this day's market we had a smaller supply of Wheat from the farmers than of late, and, holders of foreign showing less disposition to form satv, le. advance was obtained. Nothing beyond the merest retail mooing in any description of Spring Corn. The sale of Rye Meal went off very well Isst Tuesday, the right class of people to get its excellent qualities known, small dealers, being the buyers; it sold at different prices, from le. to Is. 2d. per atone as in lots, at which prices the importers have continued selling during the week. We have one or two further ar rivals of Linseed, quality various. They are on sole at a little advance upon late rates, The article is in somewhat im proved demand, The price of both Linseed Cake and Oil is well supported. The arrival of Rapeseed noted below is chiefly in small lots, per steam from Hamburg, the chief part for account of crushers; the latest sale is at 281. per last. Wheat, 50s. to 655. ; white, r-d, 66e. to 665. ; Dantate, 565. to 705.; Lower Baltic and Hamburg, 56.. to 6.51. Barley, malting, 365. to 38s ; griading, 325. to 34e. Oats, Danish, 21s. to 245. ; Russian, 245. to 265. Beans, 445. ; foreign, 38s. to 425. ; Peas, white and yellow, 40s. Linseed, crashing, 365. to 50s. ; feeding, 525. Rpeseed, per 10 qrs., 281. Lin seed Cakes, English, per ton, 101. 51. ; foreign, 81. to 91. Rape Cakes, 1101. NEWARK, Aug. 11.-A moderate supply of Wheat this day, but business exceedingly dull. NENICASTLI, Aug. 10.—The weather showery and un settled. We experienced a steady retail demand for Wheat to-day at lut Saturday's prices. Flour slow side, at 48a. per sack for Yarmouth households, and 60e. per auk for white. Prime Western Canal was rather more inquired for to-day. Rye neglected. Barley, Beans, and Peas slow sale. Oata inclining lower, the supply of all descriptions at present ex ceeding the demand. DUBLIN, Aug. 10.—The weather continues uncertain, and we have had wine heavy rain within the last few days. A good many samples of new Oats and Ben, and one of new Wheat, appeared at this day's market, the quality being generally good. Ben supported its value but Oats were Is. to 2s. per barrel lower.

IT is generally admitted, that an offer wu made by the Great Powers to hold a conference on the affairs of Switzerland in London, and that our Foreign-office has refused. This is very proper. London should not become a Verona, from whence despots or their envoys are to concoct or sanction the terms of an intervention in favour of despo tism : the mere offer was an impertinence. But it indicates the design. And no doubt Louts PHILIPPE and Prince METTER/MT( are both zealous that it should be carried into effect. The King of the FRE.. 7 4MT has an unfortunate pecu liarity. He can imagine or tolerate no form of liberty, or no liberal party, but the one which is very well exemplified in the moderado party of Spain. Bach a party, after haying thrown off the natural conservative support of the clergy and aristocracy, seeks quarrel with the people, or the citizens, as a rapport equal y dan gerous. And thus it han gs b e t ween the tw o . Such a juele milieu has succeeded in France by a combination of functionaries and courtiers, and army and commer cial monopolists, forming a large and interested league, which with oar neighbours across the channel does certainly comprise a large amount of the wealth, intelligence, and influence of the country. But this moderado party, as successful in France, is utterly impossible in countries lees advanced, less peopled, less developed in their middle classes. The attempt in Spain, for example, is most ludicrous in itself, though convenient enough for France; for it has established in that country the rule of a party, which having no national supp ort , must lean on France for counsel and for stren gth. Loris Pnirtere's views of witzerland are the same. We do not think that the King of the Dimon would desire to establish the rule of either Austria or the Jesuits in Switzerland. 1---_._9-=,,.- But he would prefer their rule to that of extreme or thorough liberals. Re is angry with the Swiss for not being moderados, as if that were possible in a country where there are no gentry, or so few as not to count as a class. Loris VIIILIPPE can no more tolerate M. OCIISENBEIN as chief magistrate of Switzerland, than he could tolerate ESPARTLRO chief magistrate in Spain. His Majesty has a horror of that radicalism to which he owes his throne, and would make a war or a revolu tion any day to dethrone it, and get rid of its neigh bourhood and example. Now, we are no unqualified admirers of M. OCEISEMILIN, or of ultra-democracy, be it Swiss or be it Spanish. But we do hold that parties and party struggles in every country ought to be let alone, without interference from without, and that, being thus left alone, they will work out the cure of their own defects, and remedy their own evils. Democracy will work its own cure, if it be extravagant, just as much as despotism. It would have done so in Spain, if Spain had been let alone. It would have done eo in Portugal. It would do so in Switzerland. Our government, unfortunately, decided otherwise with respect to Portugal. And now the powers of the Holy Alliance come and say, that they want to serve Switzerland as we have served Portugal. And they propose a conference in Lon don. To their purpose of intervening we have I I unfortunately no means of objecting. We flung the right away in Portugal. And the Times , seeing that Austria and France are going to crush the Swiss liberals, begins to excuse the deed of des potism, in its own oblique way, by abusing and calum niating these Swiss liberals. Just what it did with the Portuguese liberals. It denounced the junta of Oporto as • horrid, anarchical, impracticable people. " Down with them !" And now that the word of command of European despots is "Down with the Swiss," the Times comes to tell us, what a very shocking lit atm& the Swiss liberalaiii. Th. Swiss t desire a Isigif seism& ademy ' in which measures of reform, of education, sad of equal taxation may be carried. They object to a few mountain cantons shutting themselves up in ignorance, and poverty, and pride, and prohibiting the march of improvement not only in their mountains but throughout Switzerland. The liberals would abolish the lazy convents and their mortmain laws of pro perty, and would at least send the schoolmaster amongst those benighted regions. The Mies says this shall not be, that the Pact forbids, that the convents shall be sacred, that the little Irelands of the Forest Cantons in the midst of Switzerland shall maintain their Repeal, defy civilisation, and freedom, and the schoolmaster. The Times. in speaking thus, but speaks the doctrines of O'CoNNELL without his liberalism. It expounds the principles of hierrEuNtcn, and pleads the cause of the Jesuits of Friburg and. Lucerne, against the frank and honest, though, perhaps, some what rude, liberalism of M. OCIIANDEIN, and the protestants of Berne. HAVING from the very first taken a warm in terest in the Health of Towns question, we acknow ledge a certain soreness on the point of its treatment by the ministry lest session. We have been all but driven to the belief that whatever might be the individual feel ing of Lord MCKPETII, the government did not sufficiently recognise the great importance of the measure. While all parties have admitted that some thing ought to be done to improve the healthiness of our towns, there has been a lurking sneer ever ready to show itself against the zeal of sanitary reformers. Men who had not devoted special attention to the subject, found a fertile subject for fun in a war against stinks; a crusade against such ig noblelwld adversaries as filth and fector ; a cam paign, whose battle-fields were blind alleys, squalid courts, and reeking cesspools. The old English feel ing was not absent Our forefathers had got on very well despite these nuisances, and why not we ? The charge of quackery or Quixotism was, it is true, far oftener hinted than spoken out, butt certain be lief in it was present in many of those who gave an outward adherence to the sanitary movement, who about it, took the chair at meetings for it, subscribed to the association for pro moting it, got up the necessary blue-books, and altogether played the part of sanitary reformers with deception to themselvbs and satisfaction to the public. Perhaps it must be so with all great changes. A few men conceive them, and rise to a sense of their importance. Their zeal, knowledge, and energy, en force an attention which partakes more of respect than conviction. Every real adherent they win has a knot of sham adherents round about him, partly led by the nose, partly conscious humbugs, partly self-deceivers, whose consciences seldom ask questions, and who are net in the habit of giving them true answers when they do. We have looked with interest to the hustings ex planations of Lord Moareve on this subject. The best thing in them is the utter absence of any attempt at making out a case for the government. Hie words imply what, no doubt, was the great difficulty he had to struggle with. He found an impression existing, at a comparatively early period, that the subject was too complicated to be dealt with in the last session of en expiring. parliament This feeling realised itself as timid feelings generally do. The bill was drawn up kastily, introduced as late as possible, played with in its progress through the house, pieced and patched, and entwined in a conveniently inextricable tangle with three or four other measures, and dropped till next session ; re legated to that land of promise which must be paved, like a certain other place, with good inten tions. Lord Monerrft speaks strongly for the future. He invokes upon himself and his fellow-ministers the responsibility of a speedy and effectual dealing with sanitary reforms. He gives only too good reasons why the legislature should act promptly. He quotes from the quarterly returns of the Registrar-General, which show an excess of deaths on the year of 34,000 above the average. It is true that the year has been one of famine and its accompanying pestilence. But it is also true that the pestilence might have been mitigated if not prevented—arrested if not eradicated. The sanitary history of the past two months at Liver pool proves this. The 'clearing out of those sinks of fever the cellars, at once reduced the rate of mortality in a way that even the health officers had not dared to hope. The curse of the year has brought to that town a blessing in its train ; as curses sent of heaven always do, if rightly comprehended and acted upon. There is a case in our paper of Monday which shows what is going on in the midst of us from filth and the foul air it generates. _ . _ A man was suffocated in the water-closet of a low lodging-house in Long-acre. He had been struck down by the effluvium as by a strong poison. The surgeon who was called in found him lying in a yard eight feet square, in which the stench was so horrible that he could not remain in it a minute. It was perfectly perceptible for sixty yards round. This was in Long-acre, bordering on, if not part of, the property of the Duke of BEDFORD, in a neighbourhood where wealth and traffic tread, it is true, on the heels of vice and squalor, but where there is no unredeemed poverty to justify such a state of things. A man going to the assistance of the de ceased fell down insensible. The surgeon said there was typhus fever in the neighbourhood. Is typhus ever absent from it? The jury adjourned, that the place might be viewed. They will probably tack an indignant remark to their verdict. But there the matter will rest. It is only the strong hand of law that can crush these abominations. Private selfishness is not accessible, in general, to remonstrance or rebuke. It is the veriest staff to talk of the rights of private property, when the neglect of private duties is destroying life and engendering pestilence. Are the phy sical consequen ce s of such abominations the worst . "Cleanliness is next to godliness," says the grandmother's proverb, and there is a truth hidden in the maxim. Godliness carries cleanliness after it, and cleanliness predis poses to godliness. We nowhere, in the towns of civilised nations (the Celts mug be excepted), see great filth go along with great so briety, honesty, and intelligence. The haunts of criminals in a town are always its foulest districts. Moral corruption is attracted to physical by a law as unerring as that which carries the morti fication of a wound gradually over the limb. The doker merIe ILIEETEIS at miter, reform may thank the ir stars that there are someforeseeing and earnest spirits in the country to avert the evils which their supineness will not rouse itself to appre ciate. Never, at any period of our history, did the nation stand in more urgent need of spiritualising than new. Trade is extending, and education is needed to turn that extension into a blessing. Public opinion is becoming more powerful, and it depends on education to prevent that public opinion from be coming a brutal and blind tyrant instead of a bene- .~ ~~.~. ficial teacher and a glorious guide. It is useless to iurorm the mind wt Ile the 'oody is left unutishit and the abode filthy. No education can be effectual to which sanitary reform does not at once furnish an element and open a path of access. WHEN Sir HENRY POTTINGER was appointed governor of the Cape of Good Hope, he loitered and fingered about head-quarters till the Express was obliged to take upon itself the office of trumpeter, and blow " boot and saddle." And with such good will was the blast blown that it blew the loiterer oat tomes forthwith. Sir HARRY SMITH, on the contrary, with characteristic promptitude, is already immersed in his preparations for departure, and has been obliged to decline a cordial invitation to a public dinner is Glasgow, where the confidence, esteem, and love he inspired during his residence in the eventful year of 1819 are still warm as on the day of his departure. This soldier-like expedition is of good omen for the colony, and reminds one of Sir HARRY'S memorable ride from Cape Town to the eastern frontier, on the breaking out of Htsrzs's war. Our confidence in the fitness of the new governor has been repeatedly expressed, and that confidence will be materially increased if it shall prove that ministers, in nominating a new governor for the Cape, have also modified the existing arrangements respecting the frontier authorities. Sir lIENRY POT TINGER, though nominally a military man, has been so long engaged exclusively in the discharge of diplo , matic functions, that to all practical intents he is a mere civilian. It was, therefore, requisite that a military officer should be coupled with him for the oonduct of the Kaffir war. This multiplication of authorities —a lieateaant-governor for _ the eastern provinces having been, 'for the sake of addi tional complexity, added to make up a triumvirate —has been found productive of great delay and emberrasament. The high military reputation of bir RAMAT SMITH leaves little room to deabt that the civil and military command have been combined in his person ; and the reported promotion of the Lieutensnt-Governor of the eastern districts, if true, would obviate any delicacy on the score of super seding that officer. Until the Kaffir war is ended, and the country settled in some way likely to be lasting, it is moat desirable that all authority should centre in one person. It is only thus that the unity, consistency, and promptitude of action required 111 ' such unsettled times can be obtained. We do not venture to doubt that Sir HARRY proceeds to the Cape as the only governor for the time being, and also as commander-in-chief. There is another arrangement connected with his appointment which we have already earnestly pressed upon government. As soon as the intimation of Sir HENRY POTTINGRR'S nomination to Madras reached us, we called attention to the expediency of making Sir HARRY SMITH his successor at the Cape. And at the same time we added that his power satisfacto rily to settle the affairs of the colony would be local , cuLbly increased, if a free charter of government, analogous to that conferred upon New Zealand, were sent out along with him. We urged this arrange ment, knowing how far the boon of local self-govern ment would go to confirm the loyalty of the Cape colonists ' • how warmly the outline of the New Zea land charter had been applauded by all classes and parties in the Cape colony ; and how admirably its provisions for ensuring justice to the aborigines, and gradually absorbing them within the pale of civilised society, were adapted to the peculiar circum stances of the eastern and north-eastern frontiers. Events which have since occurred have increased our anxiety to see Sir HARRY SMITH made the bearer of the first charter of constitutional government to the Cape of Good Hope. It appears by the latest intel ligence received from that quarter that the burgher levies, having been discharged, have declined to re engage for a new term, and that the Fingoes who have been disbanded also refuse to re-enlist. The remarks of the local journals, corroborated by private letters, indicate that this is in part owing to the disgust at • protracted military operations, the weak point of all militia forces; but also in part to the inability of those at present in command to win the affections of an irregular soldiery. Sir HARRY SMITH'S ante cedents in Kaffirland have shown him to be just the man to keep an irregular soldiery together by enthusiastic attachment to his person, if ones they have been got together. His difficulty will be to collect the requisite force from among the set tlers and aborigines in *fir present listless and dis eentented mood. Some Impetus will be required to stir them, to awaken the spirit of enterprise among them, to put them in the mood to throng around his colours. And to this end we can think of no better measure than conferring upon the colony a constitu tional charter, similar in its greatoutlinestothat of New Zealand. The desire for local self-government has long been ardently cherished, and as ardently expressed by the Cape colonists. To grant it to them at this moment would be to create a new spirit within them. The elite of the colonial youth would flock to the frontier to prove themselves worthy of the privileges conferred upon them. And the Fingo and Hottentot, elevated in their own estimation by having the full rights of citizenship conferred upon them, would fall into rank, twice the men they were. The regulations of the New Zealand charter, too, relating to aboriginal provinces, would be an apt framework to aid in erect ing the structure of civihaed government throughout Kaffirland—a task which can now no longer be postponed. Tire La Plata Courier (a new journal published at Montevideo) contains news to the 28th May. The officers in command of the combined French and English squadrons in the roads of Montevideo, have proposed an armistice to ORIBE, which has been ac cepted. The terms are :-1. The belligerents continue to occupy respectively the posts of which they are at present in possession. 2. They are only to communi cate with each other except by flags. 3. Hostili ties are not to be renewed without twenty-four hours' previous notice. The Montevidean government has ,despatched orders to Colonia, and all other points occupied by its forces, to observe this truce. It was reported at Montevideo, on the 28th of May, that Omsk had liberated all his prisoners of war. It is stated by the captain of the Fauvette (the vessel which brought these papers to St. Malo) that a rumour was spread at Montevideo, on the 29th, to the effect that the exorbitant demands of Ros ts had interposed a temporary check to the negotiations. The following appeared in part of our last eTening's impression. We have Paris letters and papers of Tuesday. Although the Chamber of /Deputies virtually closed its session a fortnight ago, the formal adjournment of the legislative body did not take place until Monday, when the royal ordonnance to that effect was presented in the Chamber of Peers by M. Hebert, and, in the Chamber of Deputies, by M. Gnizot. There is no intelligence of geaeral interest. The Madrid mails were not received in Paris on Tuesday when oar express left. Letters from Rome, of the Ist inst., have brought the intelligence of the nomination of the provincial deputies, who are to meet in that city in November, and to form a representative council. The mode of selection is as follow': The provincial governor or legate sends a list of names to the Cardinal Secretary of State, among which the latter selects the deputy. Although the principal of popular election is not thus brought into play, still it is an important step towards a representative system, and will doubtless, in due time, ripen into an elective system, mare or lest popular. The reality of its ,, :pproach to a constitu tional system may be pmct • lly estimated by the agony of terror into which it has thrown Andzia and the despotic court/. Twenty-three deputies have been thus appointed, representing the provinces of the states of the church.
