London : Taylor and Walton, 28, Upper ODIFCTAITtei LATEST INTELLIGENCE, THIS DAY. Four o'Clock. We have just received a telegraphic despatch an nouncing the arrival of the Madrid from Lisbon, which was due on the 6th inst., at 3 30 P. M. at South ampton. At the time of going to press, there was no account of the arrival of the Great Western, from America at Liverpool. It is understood that Lieut. Colonel Sir Gaspard le Merchant, at present commanding the B.3th Regt., has been appointed Lieut. Governor of Newfoundland, in succession to the lion. Frederick Bruce. Our foreign express, arrived this morning, has brought Parts letters and journals of Thursday. The discussions in the latter are chiefly confined to disputes relating to the protestation of M. Guizot against the Cracow measure, which would be unin • teresting to the English reader. Their contents are otherwise unimportant. The misunderstanding between Admiral Dacres and M. Barbet de Jouy, the French consul at the Mauritius, appears to be exciting some discussion. The affair is thus stated in the National: " Such are the facts reported. The offence appears evi dently to have been given by an English agent to a repre sentative of France, and yet England has been the first to eemplein ; for we are assured that M. Guizot has received from London a despatch couched in very strong terms, demanding the recall of If . Barbet de Jony, and threatening, in case of delay, to withdraw his exequatur, which is saying, in fact, that he shall be turned out of the island. It is thUS shown that Lord Palmerston eagerly seizes all opportunities, good or bad, to excite misunderstanding and create a quarrel. But this time neither a marriage nor a dower is in question, and though he spends his ill-humour upon another affair, he a convinced that he will find M. Guizot as yielding and accommodating as he was haughty, stiff, and tenacious in the matter of 30,000,000 f." The Quotidienne says, " This dispute is not the least of the embarrassments, which we shall have to reckon among the precious erects which M. Guizot will leave behind him when he departs. The premeditated insult upon our consul by the commandant of the British naval force is the more grave as the consul of the United States, who stood exactly in the same position with the admiral, has been treated by him with an aggra vating courtesy. Most assuredly M. Barbet de Jolly, a man of as much knowledge of what is due to him self and to others, as be is of uprightness and firmness, can not bate rashly engaged himself in a quarrel of mere eti quette. lie, as well, as all our representatives abroad, knows how much he exposes himself to the ill-will of his masters, and their disavowal when a just and careful regard is paid to the dignity of his nation and the honour of its flag. Our consul, therefore, must have weighed with full judgment his duty towards the nation and the personal risk he incurred." We find no confirmation of the rumoured decease of Prince Metternich.

The Madrid journals and correspondence of the 4th were received in Paris in due course en Thursday. The elections which are at present in progress in Spain arc attended with peculiar interest, as being the first practical test of the new electoral law. The ministerial party professes to have done everything which lay with itto secure the complete freedom of elec tion. In the provinces which had been in a state of siege, that condition had been removed. The two extreme parties—the ultra-monarchical on the one hand, and the Progressistas on the other—who for merly determined to abstain from all share in the elections, have now shown a disposition to enter upon the struggle with extraordinary ardour. The Liberal party has, through its organs of the press, formally renounced all idea of resorting to violent means of accomplishing its policy, and has declared its intention of endeavouring to attain its ends by legal and pacific means. The Conservative party, placed between these ex tremes, consists of two sections, the greater of which supports the present Cabinet, and the lesser, called the Puritan, acknowledges M. Pacheco, who resigned in the late ministerial crisis, as its head. This divi sion will necessarily strengthen, more or less, the party of Progressistas, towards whom the Puritans will lean. The effect will, however, be more felt in Madrid than in the provinces, for it is understood in the latter that in the electoral colleges, where ultra monarchical, or Progressista candidates, shall offer 1 themselves, two sections of the Conservative party will coalesce against them. Although it is believed in general that the present elections will result in a considerable Conservative majority, yet all parties will be represented in 'mare's by the most eminent men to be found in their ranks Among the Conservatives returned for Madrid will be Martinez do la Rosa, Mon, and Pidal ; and among the Progressistas, Cortina, Sancho, and General San Elbigucl. M. Mendizabal will be returned at Jaen, and M. Olezega at Logrono. It is thought that M. Tejada, one of the leaders of the Ultra-Monarchical party, will be re-elected. The Count de Thomar (Costa Cabral) had delivered his credentials as ambassador from Portugal in a Private audience to the Queen. El Tiempo states that . the Infant Don Enrique will marry a sister of Maria Christina. Business was a little more animated at Madrid, where a light improvement took place in the funds. tt ;ITh.".Pn" , the I. Mr. m id ._ 'lett bc,,,,„. 7 - 2 and the''.'"wasm. ry Itle e ti4 ...

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Ckwk.—The funds are heavy, and with a rather marked tendency downwards. The market closed at 93) to f, ex. die., for Consols, which is a decline of e upon the opening quotations, and those of yesterday. Exchequer BlUe, however, have again advanced, and are now lls. to 140. ri•Tati4T stocks, which have been lately rather in demand at improving prices, have fallen to-day, the Two-and-a-half per cents. to GO to 4 ; the Fours, to 924 to 1. The prices, it appears, come lower :from Am isterdam. Mexicans remain 231 to 1. Spanish Fives, 26 to 1 ; the Threes, 371 to.l. Per taffuese are down from 364 to 74. The Bank of England averages, made up for the week ending the sth inst., show the following results on comparison with those for the week preceding :—ln the department of issue a decrease of 44,2401., the average hues standing at the lut date, 28,269,1051. In the active circulation a decrease of 121,0051., the average of the notes out being 19,866,8051., and the notes on hand in the banking department 8,402,3004. In public de posits an increase of 164,9281., the average held being 8,612,4881. In private deposits an increase of 286,1321., tlie average held being 8,303,5231. In " other " securities an increase of 290,3901., the average being 13,853,2121. In coin and bullion, a decrease of 5,2691 , the average held In both departments being 16,002,8731. In seven-day bills, increase 3,1281., the average out 895,4831. In the Rut • decrease of 47,7641., the average of the fund bring 3,432,2031. The most particular feature about these returns is the large decrease in the Rest. Had such a decrease followed upon a quarter day, or upon the payment of a dividend on Beak Wok, it might have been intelligible. As it is, with an in crease of securities, which should represent a more extended and beneficial employment of money, and to the extent an increase of profits - , this decrease of On reserve fund of aeeu mulated profits is difficult to understand, or explain. The continued decline in the active circulation is sufficiently ac counted for by the increase of deposits. illtOLlall FUNDS.

LINCOLN, DEC. 11.-There was bat a thin attend ance at market to-day (owing partly to the inclemency of the weather), with very little grain offering.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 11.-Daring the early part of the week, the frost seemed to be gradually disappearing, and nearly the whole of yesterday we had extremely heavy rain ; but freezing again last night with redoubled severity, and the wind being still contrary, the supplies reported since Monday are altogether light ; one very large American grain vessel, however, has worked inwards, but it is not entered in time for insertion to-day. Although, in general, we had leas activity is the corn trade, during the interval since Tuesday, than tof „late, the sales of Indian Corn, and the low qualities oT foreign Wheat, progressed to a fair amount, the former at our last quotations, and the lat ter at rather improving rates : all other articles remaining unvaried. Our market to-day opening with a lively de mend for Wheat, the sales to English millers were extensive, in the first instance, at the current rates of Tuesday; and some parcels having been taken by speculative buyers, the trade for most descriptions of this grain subsequently un proved, and closed firmly at an advance of Id. to 2d. per 70 lb., although for Irish account this morning, but few transactions occurred. Irish Flour, though in very slow re quest, was held 2‘. per sack above our last quota were tions ; whilst of American several large sales effected, good Western brands commanding 345. in bond, and 365. free, being an am endment of Is. per barrel. , I ' Malting Barley and Malt, neither being plentiful, fully:pum tained late prices, and grinding Barley was 2d. to per bushel dearer. Peens and Peas continued to rule precisely the same as stated in our last report. Oats, upon a fair in quiry, advanced Id. to 2d. per 451 b ; and Oatmeal, though still meeting little attention, WWI held on somewhat bight terms. Several thousand quarters American Indian Corn, I on board the vessel above alluded to, is reported to have been ld at 645. per 4801 b ; and small parcels remaining on the so spot command higher rates. Of floating cargoes near at hand few are now offering.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 11.-The Liverpool reports of the corn trade are animated, and the continued demand for Ireland has tended materially to give increased firmness in all articles • some large sales of Flour have b een made in this district for that country, besides which, in the absence of the usual imports from thence, there is an increased drain upon this market to supply the deficiency, so Mat our require' ments are, and will be, great this season. For this day's market our arrivals of all grain ar e small, caused mainly by contrary winds. Wheat finds free sale at an advance of 1.. per qr.

SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 11.-The superiority of Sheep and Beast killed as Christmas approaches, causes Skins to come to market of the very best quality-to-day there were between five and six hundred Sheep Skins of that class; the best South Downs making 4s. to 4.. 6d. each; some inferior at Gd. per skin less. Long-wool, or half bred, from 4s. to 4s. 9d. do.; some at Gd. leas. Ox-hides, the best, weighing from 701bs. up to 1001bs. at 4d. per lb. Cow-hides, and those under 701bs. weight, fetched but 21d. to 31d. per lb. Calf Skins, at 41d. to sd. per lb. Horse hides, more than usual, which sold at 10s. to 14s. each. Rough Butcher's fat, 23. 1 0 d. per stone. CATTLE, &c. ABINGDON FAIR, DEC. 11.-The quantity of fat and lean Beasts for sale far exceeded the usual quantiber wty ere hi therto brought to this fair ; and the greater num generally sold at a decline, excepting the pe of 8 lbs. rime.t fat Oxen , which made from 3 s. Bd. u p to 4s. per ston F Heifers, Cows, and other inferior qualities, from 3s. to 3s. 4d. Lean Beasts of every description were from ss. to 10s. per head lower; many, even at that reduction, were driven away unsold. The Sheep offered were condition quality. The first-rate South -tooth We Down We 2 hers, 6 and 4-t tbers andooth, made from ss. to Is. 4d. per stone Ewes, from 4s. 81. to ss. ; Long-wool, or half-bred, with Leicester or Cotteswold, from 4s. 4d. pen s Bd., a few infe rior lota going off at 41. t,o 41. 4d. The of lean Ewes, Lambs, &c., were sold at a decline of at least 3s. each, and then trade was anything but brisk. Of both fa n for bacon,t and lean Hogs and Pigs there wer e many. Large fat Swin Os. to 9s. 6d. per score ; do. Porkers, well fed, from 10a. to 10s. 6d. ; dairy-fed reaching lls. Lean store Hogs were very cheap, one worth 21. with difficulty fetching 30s. Sows and small Pigs low in proportion. In the Horse fair there were many in number, but very few of good quality ; and those sound, useful, and not too aged, sold at good prices, tending to rise. The other kir,ds were with difficulty got rid of at any price. Good compact Cobs and Ponies sold well ; but bad ones had to be taken from the fair unsold. BEDALE FORTNIGHT FAIR, DEC. 8.-We had the usual supply of fat cattle th is day. Good Beef me h t wit I ready sale at last fortnight's quotations; inferior qualities lower, and a few unsold. Lean Beasts and calving Cows scarce, and sold readily at last fortnight's prices. The show of Sheep was good , and the demand pretty brisk, though no alteration in price. Beef, sa. 6 d. to 6s. Gd. per stone. Mutton, 5 ,d. to Gd. per lb. GISBURN, DEC. 7.-Our supply of fat stock to-day was only of a quality, which met a very dull sale at prices no better than middling slat fair. Sheep were a great drug, bad to sell, at less money than they have made for some time. We had only a poor show of present Carers, which were not so good to sell as they have been for some time back. We had above 1,000 head of lean Irish Cattle, only a few got sold, the remainder turned out for Gargrave fair on Friday. Upwards of 1,000 head of lean Irish Cattle passed through this village during the last 20 weeks. LHDLOW FAIR, DEC. 5. -Sheep were sold at sld. •, ions choice lots fetched 6d. For fat Pigs, s;d. seemed to be the standard price.-On the 7th there was an immense num ber of very fine cattle in the fair. Prices varied from sd. to and some few prime thin p fetched 6d. On the whole there was a tendency to a decline in price. ; at least, former prices could not be maintained. -Salt butter, as usual, varied in price from 10d. to lid. per lb., and a very large quantity remained unsold. REIGATE FAT STOCK FAIR. -On 9th inst. the winter stock fair was held. There was more than the ave rage number of Beasts, but owing to the high prices asked, comparatively few sales were effected in the malting. In the a ft ernoon, however, prices declined from five to ten per cent. ; and more business was, in consequence, done. Of Horn% there was a fair average number, good ones main maintaining proportionate prices, but inferior were very dif ficult of disposal. W ORCESTER CHRISTMAS FAIR, D E C. 10.-This fair exhibited every symptom of being a Christmas show. There was a good supply of Beasts and he but buyers were not plentiful by any means, probably owing to there being four fairs in the neighbourhood this very day. There were some fine animals exhibited.

Of Pigs there were wry few, and scarcely any Horses. YORK FORTNIGHT FAIR, DEC. 10.—Our market this day war tolerably well supplied with stock of all de scriptions, but the quality of which, considering that it was the Christmu show, was certainly very inferior to that of the stock exhibited on previous similar occasions. In-salvers were well sold up at the previous rates. There was a fair supply of Sheep, and the business transacted was somewhat extensive. Beef, 6s. to 6s. 6d. per stone; prime, Ts.

Pine Apples are scarcer, and likely to become dearer, and Grapes, both English and Foreign, are scarce, the firmer rising in price. Apples and Pears have not altered in price since last week ; the latter are rather more plentiful. Oranges are excellent in quality, and brought in greater abundance; but still continue to fetch good prices. Nuts are sufficient for the demand. Walnuts are scarcer, and there is little demand for Filberts. Lemons are rather more plentiful. Of Vegetables, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, &c., are good and plen tiful. Carrots and Turnips have altered but little in price. A few French Beans have made their appearance. Celery is good in quality. Good Potatoes are scarce. Lettuces and other Salading are plentiful. Horseradish still continues to be imported. Cut Flowers chiefly consist of Heaths, Jasmines, Camellia Pelargoniums, Gardenias, Cacti, Nea politan Violets, Lacuna gratissima, Bifnonia radicans, Roman Narcissus, Allantantra cathartics, luchsiss, Azaleas, and Roses.

IT is au egregious error to suppose that Ireland is at this moment in an exceptional position in Europe. The condition of England forms almost the sole ex ception to the generally prevailing distress caused by real or apprehended scarcity. The sufferings of the poor in the continental states are suppressed or pro claimed according to the degree of freedom allowed to the press. But the measures generally taken by the respective governments reveal sufficiently what the efforts of the police are directed to conceal. The Rhine is at this moment crowded with vessels carry ing corn into the heart of Germany. Their ca r t, like are not voluntary importations of merchants, the grain and meal sent to Ireland, these supplies have been brought from a distance at the cost of the governments of Wurtemberg, Baden, and Hesse, at the risk of deterring future speculators from embark ing in a trade that henceforward defies calculation. Prussia has proclaimed a drawback of the Sound dais , on grain sent from the Baltic to her Rhenish pro- ' vinces. The same letters tell us, that the pressure of poor applicants for relief to the house of refuge at Nlagdeburg is so great as to make it necessary to guard the doors with the police force. Austria and Russia have both put heavy export duties on grain sent abroad from various provinces of the two emptres. Th e distress that prevails in Belgium, Holland, and parts of France, is n otorious. It is sad that knowledge must at the be purchated cost of so much suffering ; and carefully ought the lessons of such sorrowful experience to be treasured up. That now taught is, however, of inestimable value. It tends to open the eves themost blinded by the preju dices of tration to real position of the land owner in Europe. The economical sophism, that has for centuries tyrannised rather than governed in this quarter of the globe, is radically extirpated in all thinking minds who contemplate the state into which it has forced so many civilised countries. We never expect to hear it again stated that the agriculturist in Europe is, by the grace of God, appointed purveyor of food to his fellow-citizens ; that tills peculiar calling endows Mtn with rights, or entitles him to privileges before other industrious members of the state. No intelligent being can henceforth sulecribe to the doctrine that men, living in a limited territory, are doomed by their Creator to pay a gradually swell ing tax to the owner of the soil for leave to enjoy the blessing given to them—increase and multiply! The production of food must for all rational men, rank by the side of the other exertions of the industrious. Between the production of bread and of meat, of cot tons and of woollens, of iron and of gold, there can be no distinction of preference, excepting in as much as a greater degree of skill may be required to pro duce the one object than is requisite for another. The worship paid to the ownership of land in every European country is nearly at an end. The modern Mower', on whose altar myriads have been slaugh tered, has been weighed by his own idolaters in the balance, and found wanting. They cannot conceal from themselves the simple fact that the land, as they till it, does not yield a competent supply of food for those who demand it. The sole country that is now freed from fearful sdffering is, as we stated in the outset, England, whose people last year shook off the shackles, which they long had worn in common with their continental brethren In Germany, in Holland, in Belgium, the example set by England it; in course of being followed in the pre sent year. The Germans use the lead ceremony in deal ing with the question. Corn is imported at government expense, without any questions being asked, even in states that have representative assemblies. The land owners, who there form the bulk of the population, and not a select class of nobles and gentry exclu sively, are convicted of not furnishing the necessary supplies, and are treated as not competent to vote upon the best mode of filling the empty granaries. For us a great warning is timely imparted by this proceeding of the German governments. It is in the recollection of all, that a transfer of the property in the soil to the cultivator, and an arbitrary redemption of rents, were commanded by the Prussian monarch between the years 1806 and 1811. The Prussians have notoriously and signally failed in promoting the good mode of cultivating the soil which these violent changes were expected to bring about. The German theorists have long held that land, on which human labour is substituted for beasts of burden and for machines, will yield the most and the best food; that digging produces a more prolific crop than ploughing ; and that labour is best bestowed in directly producing and preparing the daily meal. It is not easy to conceive a grosser misconception of the dignity as well as of the industry of man than this. No theory could be advanced that is more completely refuted by experience. Ire land, Flanders, the greater part of central Europe, and our sugar plantations, all testify to the grand fact, that, to make land productive, it must be treated on the footing of all other instru ments put into the hand of the industrious. The head and not the hand is able to make the most of them. A man who digs land for po tatoes, grain, flax, sugar, or other products, that can be grown cheaply on a large scale, is in a parallel situation with the hand loom weaver and hand-spinner competing with steam power. Ho resembles a carrier with a pack-horse ambling along the road, that is traversed twenty times a day by a railway train. The reason why neither spinner nor carrier need grumble at being displaced by the more powerful machine is, that it as suredly offers him the opportunity of directing his hand labour better than to spinning and vaga gondising. He will either be better paid if he joins in working the new machinery, or he will find a new trade opened by the cheap supplies it furnishes. For the same reason, if the cultivation of corn and potatoes is left to these who produce them on a large, and consequently cheap scale, the owner of a small allotment, devoting his time to some refined descrip tion of labour, will find that his potato field may prove a garden, and furnish luxuries instead of neces saries. It is the instinct or plain sense of English men that has long led them to act upon this prin ciple, which now gives to England an exceptional position in Europe. Such a position Ireland does not enjoy. It is, however, attainable ; and we must record our ardent wish that it may be perseveringly and systematically pursued. It is a natural error for men who have spent all their time in hard labour to fall into, that this labour is their birthright. The friend of man must not cease to propound the doctrine that not the labour itself, but the wages of labour, is what must be kept is view. A judicious distribution of labour is the beet source of wealth. In England this distribution is better effected than in most other countries. Ireland in this respect takes rank with the countries in which the'" "--tion of labour is most faulty. the AN accident involving the lives of a few passen gers on a railway attracts universal attention, and produces a strong expression from the public of the necessity for legislation to prevent the chance of its recurrence. We all travel, and, therefore, can fully understand the dangers arising from careless manage ment, and are personally interested in supporting any measures, which:would relieve us front its evil consequences. But we do not all descend into the depths of the earth, nor are we exposed to the immi nent risk, which hangs over the miner in his dismal occupation. We read with horror of a catastrophe, happening perhaps every three or four months, in which forty or fifty of our fellow-creatures are hurried into eternity. For a short time public attention is excited by the event ; government is asked to investigate the causes of the accident ; commis sioners examine and report ; but, in the din of politics, the clamour becomes hushed, and is soon forgotten. Last year a fearful explosion occurred at Jarrow, destroying the lives of about forty persons, and was soon followed by a similar accident at Rises. The explosion at Oldbury had scarcely taken place when another was announced in Lancashire. Public atten tion is still directed to the two latter accidents, and probably this will induce the government to take similar steps to those adopted in the cases of the ex plosions at Haswell, Jarrow, and Rises. Inquiries will be made ; the results, like their predecess ors, may be buried and forgotten in the mass of blue books issued during the next session. This is not creditable to our governments ; nor is it to public feeling, which is readily aroueed and kept awakened when individual interests are concerned, bat is apt to sink into apathy unless these are para mount. Something must be done by the legislature to protect the lives of the miners, a very large and most important class of men. We are well aware how difficult it is to legislate upon, or to interfere with, any system of productive labour, and how much caution is requisite to prevent unnecessary and arbitrary restrictions. But the legislature has already moved in this direction; our factories are under a salutary surveillance, and women are no longer permitted to work in mines. In facto ries machinery is not allowed to be exposed so as to occasion unnecessary risk; why, then, may not mines be regulated so as to mitigate their present excessive dangers ? An ill-considered system of legislation would cer tainlybe productive of more evil than of good. Legis lation in detail, applicable to the Durham coal-field with its beds of coal five or six feet thick, would ill suit the conditions of the collieries of Staffordshire with their lofty galleries of thirty feet. A system of ventilation applicable to the one is not adapted to the other, nor can the modes of working seams of coal, inclining at every angle from the horizontal to the perpendicular, be made uniform throughout the coun try. It would be useless as well as mischievous to enact that every colliery should be worked with a safety lamp, when in some districts inflammable air never appears. It is, therefore, obvious that any one of the many methods proposed for the efficient venti lation and , protection of collieries cannot be made to suit conditions so varied. We admit all these difficulties ; and yet at the same time arc fully assured that the subject is ripe for legislation, and ought to be introduced for considera tion by the government in the approaching session. The general principles of ventilation are well known, and are universally applicable, although the methods adoted in practinotce must vary. The legislature cannot and ought to define any special modes for pro ducing the desired result. But it may fairly enact that the plans adopted shall be efficient, consonant with the advanced state of science, and adapted to the peculiar conditions under which the coal is worked. This can only be done by a well-directed inspection of the works by competent persons combining practical and scientific knowledge, whose duties would be to examine the underground workings and the efficiency of the means adopted for the protection of the workers. The reports of these inspectors to govern ment would form the basis of proceedings regarding the works in question. Sir H.
