Now the person who can thus violate the sanctities of a death - b ed, is very likely an amiable, exemplary man. He probably conceived, that in this act of strange indecency, he was fulfilling a sacred duty. The voices of common sense and common feeling were drowned in him. He was acting from " a lunatic zeal and conscience." It was the same feeling which led the young Quaker girl to travel to Constantinople, and there to admonish the SULTAN at the heed of his army. It is the same feeling which animates Pro testunt associations to deal damnation among their Roman Catholic brethren in Ireland, and dazzles the reason of Sir DIGBY MACKWORTH, tilt he sees a Jesuit in every newspaper reporter, and a Popish bull in every tourist's letter from Rome. If the cases were rare and isolated, it would not be worth while to waste time in commenting on them. But such ill-regulated zeal literally damages the cause which it seeks to serve. TAIT and BLACKWOOD, the Whig and Tory organs of the monthly refleetions and feelings of the , Scotch, unite in denouncing these most preposterous and most cockney acts, which exclude the way farer and the wanderer from the solitudes of Ben- Mac-Dhui and from the road through Glen Tilt. Since the days of RUFUS such a thing has not been heard of. With that great father of game-laws such doings had at least the dignity of tragedy. He de populated, and slew, and by retributive justice was slain. No ridicule can be provoked by the deeds of that iron age. But this is an age of paper, and the ludicrous of the thing now overbears the tyranny. Only imagine an English Duke renting an Alp, and hoping to put the key in his pocket, shutting out the pedlar and the poet, and the whole tribe of Wordsworthian heroes; but proclaiming an edict against the peasant and the poacher, which both must laugh at. In all times the feudal lords, whether of realms or lands, have been endowed with prerogatives andprivi leges which, if exercised to the limit of law, written or traditional, would have rendered their rule as insuffer able as that of a beast of prey. The consequence was, that, in the worst of times, those chiefs never exercised such rights, or pushed them beyond the endurance or submissive spirit of the population. The lives, the goods, the daughters, of vassals, were once at the lord's disposal; but lords had then more common sense and fairness than to enforce such rights. The forest laws of feudalism have, how ever, outlived the personal ones. And the wise for bearance of the lords of old time is succeeded by the . foolish persistence of their descendants in setting at nought the humble rights of what, is now styled the public. The law, we have no doubt, can force the Duke of ATIIOL to open Glen Tilt: a shout of ridicule and disgust ought to drive the Duke of LEEDS from his monstrous monopoly of the mountain's side. What visitor would object to be guided by the civil coun cils or warnings of a keeper, to avoid such paths as would startle the deer, or spoil my lord's sport. But that in order to this, there should be a general edict of exclusion, and the act of the establishment of the New Forest playul over again in the Scottish hills 800 years later, is monstrous: it is as disgraceful for the Scotch to bear it, as for a lord, English or Scotch, to enforce it. If in all countries, and in all stages of civilisation, the rude and the advanced, the game and its preservation, be found the greatest cause of division between higher and lower classes, it is quite time to abolish a pastime fraught with such serious political and social consequences. In our Paris correspondence of last week, we noticed a remarkable article which appeared in the Constitutionnel, on the Cracow affair, and the position in which its consequences have placed the French government. We then remarked that the article bore unequivocal traces of the sentiments, if not the dicta tion, of M. Thiers. In fact there was uo mistaking it, and accordingly the authorship has been since assumed by the Paris press generally. A sequel to this, from the same hand, appeared in the Constitu tionnel of Wednesday. In this manifesto of the leader of the opposition, the relative position of the two governments is examined,and the spirit of the English press canvassed. The writer affirms, that, notwithstand ing the asperity t f many of the diatribes directed against the Cabinet of the Tuileries by the English journalists, there prevails among that people a sin cere sympathy with the French nation. He main tains that there are at present two great and engross ing questions in the policy of continental Europe, on which the French and English nations must entertain identical opinions and accordant feelings. These are, the progress of constitutional liberty and the main- F tenance of the Ottoman empire. In the struggle of States which will ultimately prevail, Liberal govern ments, or absolutism, on the dissolution of the Turkish empire, should such occur, to whom would the spoil I fall? All the interests of Europe are involved in these questions. There are other collateral points in which France and England must be in harmony, such as the maintenance of the neutrality and inde pendence of Switzerland, the enfranchisement of Italy, the growth of constitutional principles in Prussia, the command of the mouths of the Danube, and the freedom of the Dardanelles. In all measures affecting such questions, the two nations must, as a matter of political necessity, co-operate. The journalist maintains that the present dissen sion between France and England arises much less from the imputed violation of the treaty of Utrecht than from the alleged bad faith and diplomatic trick ery practised in the Spanish affair. The marriages had less to do with the quarrel than the way in which they were brought about. He proves then from the facts, as well as from the announcement in the Ger man journals, that the Polish spoliation was the im mediate consequence of the quarrel between France and England, and that the French Government sought to strengthen itself by an alliance with those very powers which have now committed an outrage upon the common law of nations. The organ of M. Thiers thus concludes this manifesto : Behold, then, the situation to which we have been brought by the unconditional advocates of peace, the doctors of the entente cordiale, and the flatterers of absolutist cabi nets ! They desired peace on any terms they announced the approaching realisation of the dream of the Abbe St. Pierre;—all Governments were going to fraternise. Yet to-day treaties are torn; the ambition most formidable to Europe is unchained. Poland destroyed, the neutrality of Switzerland in peril, and the independence of the Italian states menaced! The first difference which arises cau have no other solution but force. Right is everywhere con temned, and France isolated. Doubt!ess our isolation is not a misfortune from which we might not take advantage. We had ourselves counselled isolation after 1840, not as a perma nent police, but as an attitude which would allow us to await with dignity the certai t re.estahlishment of the good under standing between the two countries. We can compre hend absolute isolation, at a moment when a revo lution, an ambition, or a principle, puts a country in complete opposition with the rest of the world. Fritnec proved herself equal to such a position in 1703, and under the Empire. At these epochs she had in her favour two formidable engines. At the former she had the heroic passions of the revolution, and at the latter the sword of the Emperor. If the revolution triumphed in the name of justice, the sword of the Conqueror was broken ; but France long resisted the combined forces of Europe. If called on again to defsnd her dignity, in extreme circum stances, she might bear is lation sustained by a good cause, national enthusiasm and the skill of a good administration ; hut permanent and systematic isolation is not a policy, i t is the negative of all policy. We cannot, therefore, help deploring the repeated faults, and the imprudent conduct which have .sir leading orgaixsiotiluspress, making it at the prominently conapscuous that they are ready to weep: us all its relations that policy which would bnog the countries again into harmony. If, therefore, Lord Palmerston stands out, and the Whig ministry retain office, it is yes, difficult otopeustlichoowf the echactibenent Chambers. M. Guiscit can long survive the Besides the powerful assault aimed by M. Thiers at the Cabinet in the columns of the Ontstitutonnel, other leaders of the Opposition direct their artillery to the same point. The King came on Wednesday to the Tuileries, and held a council of ministers. Marshal Souk was waiting for his Majesty, and had an audience. A ft er inspecting the works going on at the palace, the King returned to St. Cloud, which, it is said, he will leave for the winter on the 19th. On Saturday next the Court will go into mourning for a week for the Grand Duchess Mary of Russia. The Afoniteur publishes three royal ordonnanees, in virtue of the law of 1836, which permits the importa tion of foreign products formanufacture and re-expor tation ; allowing cols seed to be imported duty free in French bottoms, for conversion into oil, and expor tation in that state within a delay of six months ; madder root to be received duty free, for grinding and exportation, on the same conditions ; and tartar in its rough state, to be received in a similar way, and under the same conditions, for conversion into cream of tartar or tartaric acid. A heavy fall of snow took place in Paris on Wed nesday. The cause of free-trade is steadily progressing in France ; it may now be considered as an open, if not a cabinet question. The leading ministerial organs continue to give, from time to time, articles in its favour, written with great force and ability, the rea sonings of which are, however, so familiar to the Eng lish public, that it is needless to quote them. The Jimmuil des Debate, of Wednesday, devotes to this subject all its leading columns. It affirms that free trade is a question of the same order attd origin in France as those of relii,sious and civil liberty, the free dom of the press, equality of all citizens in the eye of the law, the unity of jurisprudence and jurisdiction, the privilege of tax-payers to vote the taxes, the publicity of accounts, and, in a word, of every thing which distinguishes the present representative government from the aneien reyime. A second meeting of the association for commercial reform took place at Havre on Saturday evening, at which the principal merchants of that town were present. The societies of Paris, Bordeaux, and Mar seilles were voted to be placed in direct communica tion with it, but it declined adopting principles so unqualified as those advocated by the three sister associations. It was d .cided that the society should be definitively constituted under the title of the Havre Association for Commercial Reform, by the reduction of customs duties and taxes on consumption. Advices in a private letter from Odessa, of the 12th ult., state that notwithstanding the enormous exports of corn made during August, September, and October, immense supplies still continue in the warehouses; and such is the extent and fertility of the countries which supply this produce, that they arc apparently inexhaustible. The present amount of grain ware housed at Odessa varied from 21 to 31 millions of hectolitres. The price varies according to quality at that port, from twelve to sixteen francs per hectolitre. Two-thirds of the grain in store are in the hands of foreign merchants, and their destination is already settled, but fresh supplies continue to arrive daily : the late harvest having been magnificent both in quality and quantity in the three Polish provinces. Half a million of hectolitres of wheat were expected to arrive by the Dniester. The north east wind had hitherto prevailed, but the navi gation was open and the cold moderate; few vessels had, however, arrived, although a great number at Constantinople were bound for the Black Sea. The same absence of freight was felt at the mouths of the Danube. At Galatz nearly a million of hectolitres of wheat, and as much at Braila, were waiting for vessels. On the three days ending Nov. 27, sixteen vessels freighted with grain had arrived at Mar seilles, and one bringing 2,500 barrels of American flour, being the first importation of that kind re ceived at Marseilles from the United States. Of the 16 vessels laden with grain, the total cargoes amounted to 53,400 hectolitres. This quantity, and former importations reported, gives a total amount of a million and a half hectolitres in 31 days. The circumstance of the Bey of Tunis being re ceived as a sovereign Prince in France, is thus ex plained by a French journal : " Ahmed Pacha, ho had long appreciated the full value of our friendship, wished to visit France, but before he would undertake the voyage, he was desirous of knowing on what footing he would be received. lie wished to be sure that he would not be presented to the king by the ambassador of the Porte, as Ibrahim Pacha had been. The French government had only to base its answer and its conduct upon the relations which we have kept up with Tunis for the last two centuries. Within that period we have concluded conventions and treaties of commerce with the Beys of Tunis. If the Bey is an ancient vassal of the Porte, if the Sultan still regards himself as his suzerain, he is not de facto his sove reign, particularly for ns who have long since acknowledged the independence of Tunic. It was quite natural that the Bey should be received with the honours due to sovereign princes, and, in giving him this reception, the French government reflected, with reason, thatAbmed Pacha was not in the some situation as Ibrahim. The Sultan is still the true sover,ign of Egypt ; he bas delegated his sovereignty ; but he has retained the principle and the regal rights. Over Tunic, ho sever, he has only the shadow of suzerainty, which leaves intact the independence of the Bey. When Ahmed Pacha landed in France his intention was to proceed to Paris and London, and, by this politeness, to prevent England from taking umbrage at his presence amongst us. With this design he wished to ascertain from the English embassy the sort of reception which he might expect in Lon don. Lord Normanhy had tha candour to cause him to be informed that he was not to expect in London a reception similar to that which he has experienced here; that Englard could not receive him as a sovereign prince ; but as a gover nor of a Turkish province. We are assured that this intima tion has determined Ahmed Pacha to renounce his intended visit to England." The Madrid journals and correspondence of the 26th were received in Paris on Wednesday. The return of the Infant Don Enrique was ex pected. The ministerial and court party manifested much gratification at the prince having broken with the Exaltados, whose counsels they said had, for a moment, led him astray. The elections were pro ceeding with much animation, the results promising to be favourable for the ministry. The return of M. Mon for one of the colleges of Madrid was considered certain. Baron Athalin, aide-dc-camp of the King of the French, had arrived at Madrid : the object of his voyage was 'aid to be a modification in the Ministry. "The Count del Minho, Minister of War," says the Ern del Conercio, in reference to this, " was engaged during the day in regulating his family affairs." The journal Esree tador had been seized by the political chief. fhe ministerial journal Herald() says, that the reported recall of Count Bresson had reference to a change in the diplomatic arrangements of France, in virtue of which that minister was to have gone to Rome, but that as that arrangement depended on Count Rossi being appointed to a scat in the Cabinet at Paris, the change was adjourned for the present. The embar rassments of the Bank of St. Ferdinand, from the want of specie, were reported to have been relieved by the receipt of 100,000,000 reels. No further intelligence had been received from Portugal. FRANCE.—Fresh corn riots have taken place at Chinon (Indre et L lire). On Thurwlay, the last market day, the new memiures were broken, and the corn dealers were °hilted to sell the wheat et 1 f. 50 c. the decalitre. One of the ringleaders was arreste.l, but was quickly taken out of prison by the peasantry, armed with their rustic weapons, Ninety persons have been arrested, eighty-five men, and live women. FURTHER SIIIPNIENT OF CATTLE, FROM Bou- LOONE FOR ENOL•ND —Extract of a private letter from Boulogne, dated Tuesday morning: " On Friday six hundred sheep, and between thirty and forty beast., were put on board the William Wallace steamer, which had been dispatched from London for tie express purpose of convey ing them to Englund. It having become known in the town that this shipment was about to take place, the authorities were fearful that another disturbance would have been caused by the mob. In order, however, to guard against such an event, a detachment of the National Guard, a company of the troops of the line, several gendarmes and municipal police, who were also accompanied by M.

The mob, which was immense, seeing the preparations which had been made to resist any attack, quietly allowed the sheep, &c., to be embarked. As the National Guard were return ing through the Hu* de l'Ecu, a large stone wasthrown from the third story window of No. 9, the house of M. Alfred, tailor, but, fortunately, without striking any one of the guard. The troops were halted, the officer in command and several of the men rushing into the h',use. The English lodgers were out, and no one was discovered but the female servant, and she was in the cellar. Ig aas afterwards found that the stone had been thrown by one of M. Alfred's ap prentices, who was immediately marched off to prison, where he still remains. Twenty-eight rioters, including several women, have been apprehended by the gendarmes. They will be tried, it is expected, to-morrow (Wednesday), when it is feared some further disturbances will take place. Two companies of troops of the line have just arrived from St. Omer and Ardres. General Walderstein, and M.

The whole of the Boulogne National Guard were summoned to assemble on Sunday, for the purpose of their being in troduced to their newly-elected officers. The affair, how ever, was postponed in consequence of Colonel Sansot not being able to be present, on account of the injuries he sus tained at the former riot, by being wounded on the head with a stone." GERMANY. Under the head " London," the Augsburg Gazette of the 28th has the following : " On Mon day last, the three protecting powers of Cracow communi cated to Lord Palmerston the news of the incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian dominions. The noble lord re plied that he would inform the cabinet of the fact that very day, and that in every ease England would protest against such a measure. Lord Palmerston seems convinced of the inutility of this step ; he nevertheless thinks himself bound to make a formal protest, to act conformably to his previous line of policy. It is said that the noble lord is much irritated at this new mishap (for it is a mishap for him). lie fears lest the French, who, however, have no great respect for treaties, may throw off all restraint, and attack the order of things in I tal y , whic h might lead to the most dangerous consequences for Austria and the peace of Europe; but the projects of the French on the Po and on the Rhine did not wait for the fall of Cracow, and that event has not added to their lust of conquests. Give them the power, and they will seize all they can lay hands upon on the Po and on the Rhine, without minding Cra cow. Lord Palmerston also fears the reproaches of the British nation, owing to the rupture of the entente cordiale with France, as the three powers dare not have taken such a step if it had still existed. But in this he is unjust both to himself and to the powers. To himself — as he is not the cause of the rupture of the entente cordiale, that rupture was evidently caused by the egotistical line lof policy followed by France. To the powers, because they had already decided on suppressing Cracow, before the entente eardiak was menaced. The resolution of Nov. 6is not the first nor only agreement of the powers on the subject. This Lord Palmerston is perfectly aware of. He is also aware of the existence of separate treaties between the three powers ea the conditioned duration of the republic, the invalidity of which towards the other powers is not to be doubted. NVe repeat it, the incorporation of Cracow would have taken place in spite of a good or a bad understanding between France and England, and was decided up on without an y regard being taken of it. And it is in the interests of Great Britain not to quarrel with all the world in an affair the necessity of which is self-evident, though the manner of effecting it is blamed both at London and Paris." FROM THE ELBE, Nov. 22.—Diplomatic persons maintain that the incorporation of Cracow could not have taken place without the French government having first been apprised of it. It is one of the sacrifices made by Louis Philippe to obtain the neutrality of the northern courts in the affair of the Montpensier marriage. It may also he said of the marriage of the Duke of Bordeaux that the Duke never would have married an Archduchess of Austria if the entente cordiale bad remained intact. As M. Guizot withdraws from the English alliance he gradually draws nearer the head-quarters of the Holy Alliance. Pius IX. was elected by French influence,: which suggested to hint the reforms he has taken. As yet Count Rossi is the confidant of the Vatican, he has also probably persuaded the Pope that he is not to lose sight of the interests of other cabinets. Arrangements are spoken of relative to Switzer land, for which France proved very accommodating, all owing to the Montpensier marriage. Though this line of family policy may momentarily succeed, it may, in a future not far distant, trouble the peace of Europe. England is quite isolated in the Cracow affair. After the formal decla rations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Lansdowne on the integrity of the treaties of Vienna, they can only send in their resignation, for who would risk the dangers of a war ? But we fear that England will take advantage of the Cracow affair to declare null some other clauses of the treaty of Vienna." In the audience which the deputation of the Bres lau merchants had of H. M. the King of Prussia, his Majesty arsured them that steps had been already taken by the Prussian cabinet, with that of Vienna, for the continuance of commercial relations with Cracow on the same footing as has hitherto been the case ; and this hats tended greatly to quiet the anxiety felt by the merchants of Prussia and Silesia on the subject. The transition of Cracow into an Austrian city is almost imperceptible, as, since 1833, it has been governed according to the Austrian system. A Hamburg correspondent writes :—The incor poration of Cracow has not caused so great a sensation in Galicia as beyond the frontier. Since the entrance of the Austrian troops into Cracow, the idea that the republic had ceased to exist had become familiar. The declaration of the ministers in the French and English parliaments that they had received the assurance from the northern powers that Cracow was to be maintained as a republic, and that the military occupation was but temporary, alone served to make some believe that the Austrian troops would be with drawn in time. Since then premises were made of a defini tive organisation, and the recent act proves better than anything else that the present state of politics in Europe, and especially the violent language of Lord Palmerston, hastened the measure taken by the three powers. The peasants of Galicia seem to rejoice that Cracow has been punished for joining the nobles ; these latter on the contrary are greatly irritated. In a correspondence from the frontiers of Silesia, in the Augsburg Gazette, it is stated : " The revolutionary movement in Galicia, far from subsiding, has of late dcve• loped itself considerably. The nobles acted openly. A meeting was to have been held towards the middle of November at Cracow, but Wielicza was afterwards chosen, the surveillance at Cracow being too severe. The meeting was numerously attended by the no bles The pride of the Polish character manifested itself on this occasion, and it w as easy to perceive that the revolutionary propaganda of Paris had given them new hopes when the news of the incorporation of Cracow fell upon them suddenly. The blow was unexpected, it was thought impossible for England and France to consent to I such a measure, and more improbable s till that the three powerselare take such a step without their consent. This changed the whole face of affairs, and consternation drove away every other feeling, and they broke up in silence. This event is a new proof of the urgency of the step taken by the three powers." COLOGNE, DEC. I.—Mr. Schwarzer, the editor of the journal of Austrian Lloyd's, who has undertaken the management of the Overland Indian Meil, vid Trieste, arrived here this forenoon. The courier took sixty hours to traverse the distance between Trieste and Mannheim. Mr. Schwarzer met him at the latter place, and conveyed thence the deepa•ches to this city in sixteen hours and a half. He left Cologne by the second train this morning fur Ostend, where a steamer awaits him. The inhabitants of this city take a very great interest in the undertaking, and heart ily wish Mr. Waghorn's efforts success. STETTIN, Nov. 27.—The Cologne Gazette, of Dec. 2, publishes a correspondence from Stettin in which it is stated that after the Ist of January, 1847, the duty on the exportation of all kinds of wood, employed for dyeing, will be raised throughout the Zollverein from 5 silbergroschen per cwt. to 10 silbergroschen, consequently 100 per cent. On the other hand, the import duty will be entirely abolished. The ship merchants are not over pleased with the increased duty on the above articles of exportation, as many of them will suffer severe losses next spring. It may be stated, moreover, that the duty on the above kinds of wood, passing in transitu through Russia, has also been raised 100 per cent. The object is, of course, to keep such useful materials fur manufacture sin the Union itself. In spite of all its ex ertions, Prussia, as the head of the Zollverein, is obliged, it would appear, to sacrifice commerce, properly called, to the demands of the manufacturers and to their jealousy of Eng land. This tendency on the part of Prussia will necessarily keep such cities as Hamburgh and Bremen aloof from the German Customs Union. lIESSE DARMSTADT, Nov. 29.—During the recent discussions on civil and religious marriages in the Second Chamber of the legislature, one of the members warmly con demned the practice prevalent in certain parts of Upper Hesse of demanding considerable quantities of oats as " presents" from the bride and bridegroom, in return for the performance of the church ceremony. It has been already stated in the Express that by a recent law the religious portion of the marriage ceremony must precede the civil contract. WIRTEMBERG.—The Frankfort correspondent of the Cologne Gazette states that the pecuniary difficulties of Wirtemberg are on the increase, and that it will be under the necessity either of contracting a loan under the onerous terms of 5 per cent., or of issuing paper money, It is 'irged that the latter step would not prose sufficient to meet the necessary expenditure for the railways.

The vizier has marched at the head of the regular troops under his orders, and of a number of the inhabitants of Scrajero and Traynik, towards Baujaluka to restore order. The unfortunate rajas of the Greek and Catholic religion will, in all probability, be the greatest sufferers, as both parties will levy tribute from them, and will, as has formerly been the case, be plundered andill-treated.
