Scotland has taken the initiative in this matter. The mer chants, bankers, manufacturers, and other inhabitants of Manchester are to meet to-morrow, when the government will be memorialized, to facilitate mea sures for increasing our supplies of grain, by the immediate permission of free importation.

Br 1l irk aad Eeam, Whitetriam We collect from the various accounts received from Madrid, that despite the very bast exertions of the government, the reception of the French Princes was disheartening and far from enthusiastic. They entered by the Bilboa-gate on the afternoon of the 6th, and passed through lines of troops to the palace, accom panied by a crowd of generals, officers, and other officials, and escorted by the Maria Christina Hussars. The military diQplay was imposing, but the pagent was heartless. The whole affair would have passed away in silence but for the salvos of artil lery, for there was not the slightest demon stration of general applause. The populace was reserved, and the little feeling manifested was not of a description to re-asiure the government. Military precautions were considered necessary to maintain tranquillity, and arrests were frequent. The Ero del Commereio, the Espertador, and the Clamor PriWko had been again seized. Mr. Ilulwer received dispatches from England on the sth, and left Madrid early on the following day for Aranjuez. The Kational of Paris gives the contents of a letter from London, in which it is statcd that the Count de Montemolin, about whose movements so much has been said, is not and has not been in London at all, but that the public have been deceived by a young man bearing some resemblance to him, and employed for the purpose of misleading the French police. It is sufficient, in answer, to say, that the Count de Montemolin, well and personally known to several per,ons in London, has been seen, and may probably be still seen, on Sundays, at the Warwick-street Roman Catholic chapel, where, with the Marchioness of Monte Negro, ho has been a constant attendant The Government of Wirtemburg has dispatched agents into Hungary and America to make purchases of grain to the extent of two millions of florins. The corn is to be soldat a low price to the poor and labour ing classes. It has been decided to sacrifice five thousand florins in this undertaking fur the public good. As a sign of the times, which shows that the acces sion of a new Pope and a reformed papal policy, have their influences beyond the walls of the eternal city, it may be mentioned that M. Arnoldi, the Archbishop of Treves, so famous for his part in the " holy coat " affair, has addressed a circular to all the ecclesiastics of his diocese, recommending them, in the most pressing ternr. to employ all their influence to discourage the faithful from • making further pilgrimages to Troves, and stating that such demonstrations, far from being acts of piety, were rather prompted by vanity, savouring of superstition. The Belgian papers contain some severe, and appa rently well-mented, strictures on the conduct of the clergy. At a moment when the horrors of famine are threatening the country, it seems the clergy are preaching sermons in their churches fur the col lection of subscriptions ; charity sermons, in fact, to swell the funds of the University of Louvain, and the seminary of La Bonne E,perancc, both of them noto riously richly endowed institutions for the propaga tion of doctrine, as understood in the dark ages, though no longer countenanced at Rome. Bigotry, in fact, was robbing the poor of bread. The accounts from Geneva confirm previous intelli gence of the success of the revolution and the over throw of the government. The following particulars of the conflict of the 7th are taken from the Ikhats : "On the evening of the Gth, e inhabitants of the faubourg St. Gervais assembled and raised barricades at the bridges. In the morning the militia, with the determi nation of destroying them, fired about 200 cantem shot, which accomplished the desired object After this the sol diery made attempts at two different points to entar and oc cupy the faubourer, but wore received with a galling fire from almost every window. Each of the commandants marched at the head of his regiment, and as marly all of them were wounded, the retreat was beat. and the troops re-crossed the bridges. Still they remained in possession of the lower town and the course of the Rhone. and the insurrection was confined to the faubourg. In the night, however, the in surgents set fire to the bridges, and the inhabitants of the lower town, finding that their safety was compmmiscd, rose in their turn. At the same time the radical ausilliaries of the canton of Vaud came in great force to the aid of the insurgents. The militia, thus threatened on all sides, began to waver, and at length yielded, and the Council of State gave in its resignation. By the evening the arsenal and the principal public establishments were is the hands of the insurgents, who formed a provisional eov-rnment. The courage with which the colonels of the militia were the first to meet danger wall fatal to them. The ftmilies of the highest considevation of Genera have to deplore looses ; among these are Colonel Chateanvieux, nn old officer of the Royal Guard, and M. Perle. The militia has lost several men killed, and many wounded. The loss of their oppo nents is not yet known, but it is believed that it carnet be very grist, us they were well protected by their barricades. Whilst the battle was going on between the government troops an i the insurgents, 2,030 man were marching from the canton of Vaud to the assistance of the latter ; but the affair having ended in the triumph of the insurgents, a messenger was despatched to stop their advance." The intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, which we yesterday published, principally referred to the light division under Colonel Somerset and to the operations in which it was engaged to the cast of the Kye River. The promptness with which this expe dition was carried out seems to have taken the Kaffirs by surprise. Thr gallantry with which the service was vorfot:med must have completely overawed them, as otherwise the Krcli tribes, which were in consider able force, would have offered a somewhat bolder front to the jaded troops under Col. Somerset's com mand, instead of allowing themselves to be deprived of 5,000 head of cattle after a weak and ineffectual resistance, and suffering them to be driven 100 miles through Kaffirland, without making any attempt for their recovery. Colonel Somerset had received the thanks of Sir Peregrine Maitland, and the colonists were quite elated with his success. Another decisive movement and the war was ; to close when the "great Kaffir question" was to be finally settled, but in what way was matter for debate. We find three plans pro posed, to which a brief reference may be permitted : First, that a better boundary than the Fish river should be chosen, beyond which the Kaffirs are to be driven, leaving the intermediate space to be occupied by friendly native tribes. Secondly, that the interveifng space between the colony and Kaffirland shall be neutral, and guarded against all intruders, whether black or white. Thirdly, that Kaffirland shall be attached to the British territory. This last plan seems to have been popular in the colony, but the question is, whether the acquisition would be worth the expense of maintaining it? To the first plan it has very properly been objected, that it would leave bands:of independent savages on the very threshold of our ter ritory, who, as they increased in numbers, and be came familiar with the use of fire-arms, it would be impossible to control ; and we would at length find we had raised a formidable enemy on our very border. This plan is, accordingly, most objectionable, and we therefore prefer the second proposed to any that has hitherto been propounded in the colony. An effec tual settlement of the boundary question must be of the last importance to the colonists, who are naturally impatient at everything like delay, feeling that deci sive measures of redress are most likely to provide against a recurrence of hostility. The colony has suffered severely. It will take years to restore the (From the Graham's Town Journal of Aug. 4.) Information has this moment been received from Fort Beaufort, briefly detailing the operations of the troops under the command of Col. H:u-e Red Sir Andreas Stockenstrom in the Amstole Mountain+, the substance of which is con tained in the following extract : •' Last dnewlay the Kaffits attacked Colonel Hare's camp under the Arnatola, and I regret to say that a scrjetuet of the Royal Sappers and Miners, named Barnes, was killed, also the Serp.ant Major of the Provisional Company, recently commandol by Captain Loxton, and one Fingoe. The moment this attack was made, a tremendous fire was opened in the direction whence the Reifies had teed, and which was continued some time. Eight or nine of our men (coloured) were wounded in this night attack, but the less sustained by the enemy has not been ascertained, though it is thought that many must have been either killed or wounded. Before sun rise the next mnrning (Thursday) the principal part of this division (Celonel Hare's) and also of Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's were under arms and in motion, the -coloured companies entering the husk with the greatest alacrity and determination. The I Fingoes especially arc spoken of as fighting with so much determined resolution, that their conduct excited the especial notice and admiration of Colonel Hare. who repeatedly cheered them on to the attack. The Kaffir* were in several divisions, and it is said displayed considerable tact in their movements, and were not wanting in cnerage. The light continued amonest the klooce and mountains the whole of Thursday. the troops not returning to their en campment until after sunset. It is conjectured—though of course from the very nature of the locolity it can he only conjecture—that not less than 100 Kaffir. fell in these engagements, irrespective of a great many wounded. Two prisoners were taken, and who, it is affirMed, have given im portant information respecting their powder magazine in the Amatoli. During these actions blue lights ant rockets were thrown up at intervals, as signal% to the head quarters division, hut no answering signal woe fe ^ ll, nor entild it be ascertained where this division actually was. The following day all was preparation for a second engem-- ment, but on making a reconnoisance it wax found Coat de e , no the night the enemy had given our troops the shin, and bad retired towards the ports of the Buff.lon, their favourite haunts. The crest of the mountain is now perfectly clear of the enemy, and not, as it has usually been seen, lined with men daring the troops to come forward. Colonel Hare has now moved to Fort Cox, where he will for the present eeta blish his head quarter+, and where he was to he jeineti by Sir A. Stockenstrom, by another route, the seine evening. A brief report has come in of the movements of the latter officer. :led who appears to have entered some of the most difficult passes in these mountain ranges. In nppronch:ng or passing throech one of these a fire was opened upon his men front a commanding rocky eminence. Upon this an order was issued to a detachment of the Hottentot levy to storm and dislodge the enemy from this point, when, so eager were the Fineries for the fight, that on hear ing this order they, without waiting for rommend, rushed forward, clambering the rocky and steep heights in face of the enemy's fire, and by which, I regret to say, six of these brave fellees were shot dead, and three wounded. The enemy were, however, speedily driven from this fastness, with the loss of 39 killed and many wounded." The chief points of importance to be gathered from the shove communication is, that the Kahn have retired , deeper into the recesses of their mountain faetnet-es, and that the several divisions had not, on the com mencement of operations, formed, as de.iretl, a junction at the Amntola. It appears also that the enemy, when steadily met, even on their own ground, had invari tidy retired before the troops, whether Finroes, Idet'entnt4, or whites, opposed to them. We do not know whether the authorities are aware of the fact or not, but it is not the less certain, that if the country in. the rear af the Knffir% be left unobstructed, it will be vain to expert any final crow tinn of hostilities until we have an adequate force of weeder troops in the field. The detention of the Burgher levies is a serious misfortune to the whole colony, and no merle of warfare could he adopted by the enemy better calculated to haras+ the colonists, end to entail serious embarrassment to the British government. than to keep our fords in thejcld, without coming to a decisive engagement. It is said by persons who crowed yc sterday the high ridges lying between Graham's Town anti the Ceded Territory, that the distant sound of a thessw cannonade wax heard by them in the direction of the Amatola.

"\o junction yet between the Governor and Lieutenant- Governor. The :treat attack was to have been made this morning on the Chumic Rock, but no firing heard all day. The impression hrre is that the enemy will slip into the Winterberg and n'IN lann's River, and that the great body of them have fallen back into Tambookieland." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Serjeant Adam and a Bench of Magleree...) EARLS' BEGINNFIM—PIiza IfasTar, aged 15, .torah MiJerls, 16, and Elisabeth Smith, 16, were indicted for stealing a coral necklace wane Bs., the property of Edwin Tillott, from the person of Eizaheth Tillott.—Tt appeared from the csidenee, that Mrs. Tillott kept a confectioner's shop, end while she and her little girl were in it one day. the prisoners came in and bought some sweetmeats: and while one of them was paying for them. the others took the necklace from the child's neck, and they all went away. Almost directly after their departure the necklace was missed, and they were followed and accused of the robbery, and at the same time told that if they spoke the truth, and gave up the necklace they would be forgiven. They declared they wee in nocent, and Mr. Tillott took them hack to the shop, and after wards gave them into custody. A young woman produced the necklace, which she picked up immediately after she saw one of the prisoners drop it. The jury found them GuiUT. —Mr. Serjeant Adams enquired what kind of a character the prisoners bore, and wan int wined that they were not known as thieves, but that on last Sunday night, at past 12 o'clock, the officers of the prison were awakened, in consequence of the noise made by the two first-named pr;- goners singing in a eery hni4teroua manner, and refusing to stop when told, while they wer: in different eels. They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment, ten days of which were to be solitary. FlRE.—About 10 o'cloc!: this morning a fire which —but from the prompt assistance of a few people, amongst whom we observed a gentleman of the name of Knipe (well known in the geologiell world). mug have been attended with very considerable destruction of property—occurred in Burton-street, Eaton-square—the workshops and stables belonging to Mr. Simnel Wilson, builder, Elviry-street. The wind being high, in en almost incredible short space of time the entire property was in flames. The cause was purely areidental—the igniting of a stray sharing when one of the apprentices was making a fire. It was sometime before any engine arrived. eonveguentlythe whole was nearly destroyed before the parish engine began to play. which was the first to arrive but having a mod supply of water this was found sufficient to render all the aid which was nreos wiry, although others, from time to time, arrived. We understand the loss falls upon Mr. Wilson, he not being . - SUPFO4ED INF.% NTICTPI7..—Th iq morning about eight o'clock, as police-constable, 79 G, was nrncceding on his beat in the City-road, hi' attention was drawn to a bundle lying noon the ground behind some bricks. He at once took it to the Featherstone-street station-house, and on untying the wrapper, which was composed of coarse linen, the dead body of a full-grown infant male child presented itself. Mr. Mather. the district surgeon, having been called in to view the body, pronounced it to be about three days old, and added that he believed it to have been born alive. It was subseinentiv conveyed to the workhouse, where it awaits a coroner's inquest. COMMERCIAL 4- MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Hoff-past Tito o'clock.—We have a flat market in Consols, although the nearest price quoted is 951, buyers for money and account, which shows an improvement, though very slight, on the closing prices of Saturday. Ex chequer Bills, 15s. to 18s. premium. Excepting in Mexican stock there has been little animation in the foreign market. The disclosure in the Daily News this morning, of the existence of a dispatch from the Mexican government, repudiating the late conversion, and requiring Senor Murphy, the late Mexican envoy, by whose authority it was undertaken, to publish the instructions under which he ought to have acted, and which would sufficiently exonerate the government from blame in its repudiation, created a considerable sensation in the Stock Exchange. The bonds declined to 231 to 1, but the fact is that the prices are nominal only, as few people are disposed to deal in them. Spanish Fives are supported at 261 to 1, the Threes 371t0 1. The Spanish Committee, it seems, are about to dispatch agents to Madrid. ostensibly to press the claims of the bond-holders ; but a suspicion is abroad, from certain antecedents of the larties delegated, that the real object is to get up some other oan or conversion scheme. like the Mexican, for the profit of a loan-jobbing clique. Portuguese are 411 to 21: ENGLISH FUNDS.—CLOSING — PRICES.—Ttrais o'Ct.ocx. Bank Stock, Ditto for Acct., 3 per Ct. Red. 31 per Cents 95 3 3 per Cent. Consols, 95 q Mel:wooer Bills 15s. Hs.

The payment of the dividends upon various stocks now in progress, will probably bring a considerable number of purchasers into the market, which may bare the effect of advancing prices. 8A1.F.6 EFFECTED TO-DAT IN LONDON.

'MINCING-JANE, half-past Taw.—The quantity of Sugar brought forward in the public sales have been large to-day, consi.ting of Batbade.es, Trinidad, Bengal, and Madras, and they were fairly met by the buyers, considering the pressure of late upon the market.

On that day, 2,000 bags of Brasil Coffee, part of the cargoes of the Independence and Fenelon merchant vessels, were disposed of. Sugars, in consequence of the news from Havana, and the rise of prices, were in active demand at higher quotations. Purchases were reported to the extent of 18,000 boxes of Havana, fair brown ; 600 of white sugar; 700 of Bahia, white and fair brown; 1,100 cannis. tera of Java ; and 400 barrels of Puerto Rico sugars.

BARNSLEY (YORKSIIIIRE)NiICIIARLMAS FAIR, OCT. 12.—This fair was thinly supplied with llorscp, and scarcely a good one to be shown. The dealers had been in the town and neighbourhood for oeveral days previous buying up all the useful horses to be found ; coreoquently few were shown, and those realised high prices. We had a moderate supply of Mikh Cows, which ranged from 121. to 221. each, and were quickly sold. Drapes scarce and dear. Pigs were never so abundant. Large numbers came which could not find room to stand in the usual plcce allotted for them. lligh prices were asked for fat ones in the morning, but receded 20 per c,,nt. before night. Small Pigs were a complete drug; hundred,3 remained toe. dd. Bacon Pigs sold at from 6P. to 6s. 6d. per stone of 1111).

GIII:AT FAIR.— Yesterday this great cattle fair was resumed, and notwithstanding the large Falcs effected on Saturd iy, the Sheep pens were equally well fillet, and many fr. it droves of cattle were brought in. The supple was met with a great demand, and many large buytrs who lad stood out at laq yielded to the owners' prices. Prime young Ewes (Southdown) went off at 365. a head, end some pens of choice.bred lots fetched 12s. a head. Ewe Lambs of the best description made from ads. to 335. a head.

Two year old Sheep made 335. to 395., and three year old Wethers, well bred, were bought for folding off at 355: to 445. a. bead, and good fat Wetter Sheep maintained prieeevarying from 48s. to 645. a head. In Bullocks a brisk sale was obtained for the best steers and young store Bullock•, and well-framed beasts fir the fattening sheds sold at 12 to 16 guineas.

At the quarterly meetings held during the last week, Loth here and at Wolverhampton. the greatest ac tivity prevailed in every department of the trade, and at Dudley also on Saturday evening. No nominal admnee upon manufactured iron has taken place, but something letter—a real and substantial advance. The order books, which in the early part of last quarter were filled at prices very considerably below the list agreed upon, are now pre senting a different appearance, and the bri , k demand for Pig lion by most of the first-rate houses who arc accustomed to buy, as well as their c , refulness to accept orders only to limited amounts, indicate that an upward movement is looked upon as extremely probable, and near at band. The pig makers have etrtai .ly succeeded in obtaining better prices; and fir good cold-blast mine pigs U. 10s. was gene rally demand. d, though, we think, scarcely realised. A con siderable sensation was created by a report in the Times newspaper of the inability of a certain house (not named) to meet their engagements; and it is a very general opinion that the paragraph was inserted for the discreditable pur pose of damping the confidence of the trade, by some party largely interested in preventing an advance of price. What ever might have been the intention or effect, we trust the report was without foundation, and feel confident that at the present moment the general stability of the trade, as well as its encouraging prospects, are much more satisfactory and durable than we have had the pleasure of recording for many years.—Aria's Birminyhan Gazette.

Of the man with many names we hear no more ; but the Rev. Jon DUDLEY decides that there is no occasion to bind Mrs. TILER to keep the peace, but that she must pay 38s. costs. This unex pected penalty alarms the conscience, or moves the compassion, of the complainant. Ile handsomely sub scribes the half, and pays " 19s. or 19s. 6d." But "poor MARY Ave " is the wife of a labour, r, with five children, from two to thirteen years of age to support out of his earnings, which are 10s. a week. She tells the Rev. JOHN 10 . 01,5 x of the impossibility of her raising the remainder. There upon the preacher of charity orders her to the House of Correction in the county gaol, for fourteen days' hard labour " unless the said sum of 385., and the further sum of 9s. fur her ranreyance to prison be saoncr paid." On the 11th day (May •1, 1846) from the com mittal, Sir JAMES Gictittst informs the Rev. bolls DUDLEY that "the whole of these proceedings was contrary to law," and threatens to tell the LORD CHANCELLOR of him " if such a thing should occur again." Whether the late or the present LORD CHANCELLOR has ever been told of the Rev. J. DUDLEY, we know not ; nor whether anybody has told his bishop of him. But, through Mr. CHRISTIE'S intervention, the House of Commons has told the public of him; and the public will do the duty of Chan cellor and Bishop so far as the administration of mere rebuke is concerned. That is all the penalty which the public can levy. It is a very light one for such a perversion of justice. What a sentence ! 38a. for being the object of an unsustained charge; 9s. for going to prison; and fourteen days' hard labour in gaol fur nut having saved 475., out of los. a week for thesupport of the labourer,his wife, and five young childri rt. The Rev. J. DUDLEY acts upon a singular theory of crimes and puaishments. lie will make his parishioners remember being poor, and not being guilty. lie punishes poverty as the French punish military treason; condemning the culprit to pay for the powder and shot of his own execution. If there be no cash, he sends them to oakum picking or the treadmill ; to take their change out of that. Was Mrs. TYLER conveyed in a hackney coach to the House of Correction? Nine shillings is a long fare, as she had no luggage. This was pro bably the dearest ride in her life. Was it meant to give her a taste of comfortable travelling? After all, " nothing can come of nothing." The poor woman's limbs are put under the screw, but no cash flows. The clergyman's vagaries are a cost only to the county; and his cruelty runs to waste. The Loughborough Sessions rejoices in another clerical justice ; the Itev. Wit. ACWOIITH, of Itothley vicarage. His exploit consists of sending to gaol JAMES .1.110 IS, a pauper, seventy-five years old, but certified by the surgeon to be remarkably stout " for his age," for refusing to pump water in the poor-house. His sentence was for twenty-one days; but as the Rev. W. ACWORTH pithily expresses it, " Be fore the imprisonment expired, the man died." We presume the worthy incumbent officiated at the funeral of " our dearly beloved brother," who had taken the liberty of expiring before his imprison ment. And this man tells Sir JAMES GRAHAM that he has been " foully vilified and misrepresented in one or more of the Radical Leicester papers." Ho tries to curry favour as a brother Tory, intimating how " it has been peculiarly painful to his feelings to find that, under the sanction of the present Govern ment (May 8, 1846) a petition from a quondam reporter for a scurrilous and Radical Leicester journal, was printed, fie." Of the two offences "scurrilous and Radical," the latter is evidently regarded as the mist heinous. As for the old man's death in gaol, that was " the visitation of God," and to be acqui esced in patiently. A visitation of radical complaint and censure was not to be endured. What worse than his own statement was made of the fact, it is not easy to imagine. The old man of 75 a•us ordered to the workhouse pump, as " employment suitable to his age and condition ;" and he eras committed to the House of Correction for 21 days, as punishment suitable for his offence. And he did die in the gaol, as a conclusion suitable to the character of the pro ceeding. Everything is as it should be ; provided we lived in a world turned upside-down. The Rev. W. Acworent is perfectly satisfied with himself and his doings. " Whatever is, is right ;" except that we can suppose him repining that a Tory ministry should not have authorised his ordering radicals to the pump and the gaol, after the old man who slipped through his fingers and escaped from imprisonment into tho grave. 'fire third case brings together both the clergymen and their lay appendage with the number of names. It is that of a girl, CATHERINE Srem;s, who, besides doing the household work of the farmer her master, milked the cows, and carried their dinner to the hay makers, and so was construed to be a " servant in husbandry," and therefore liable to punishment for not discharging her duties—which she did discharge: only that, having 'a lover at a distance, about whom her mind was disturbed, she was going to run away. The intention was made, by those mock-Christian teachers, to cost her two months' imprisonment with hard labour. Mr. Itocsits, Queen's Counsel, who was sent down by Sir JAMES GRAHAM to inquire into the circumstances, reports that the conviction would hare been right (in law) if the fact of service in husbandry had been given in evidence, which it was not. And he also reports that the Magistrates considered the intention to run away a " misbehaviour ss give them all the benefit that the legal flaw was only men, had they been Turks devised some more lenient a case. The only palliation of the 7hilrst in the service."
