WHETHER the business of the British Association for the Advancement of Science be, in all its details, the best managed in the world, is much more than we can say. We question whether the assailants of that Institution are better informed than ourselves. Such matters may be safely left to the parties more imme diately interested. But we cannot see the public good of attacks continued from year to year, which aim, not at the correction of any practical mistakes in the management of the Association, nor at the better adaptation of its means to the end proposed ; but at covering the Institution itself, its supporters and pro ceedings, with indiscriminate ridicule. There is little of utility or loftiness in the ablest articles, which only result in ministering to the supercilious sneer of self-satisfied ignorance, or to the horse laugh at a Professor from the frequenters of a pothouse. The power thus employed has won much nobler vic tories ; and it would find a far worthier direc tion in aiding the efforts it holds up to public seem. Reformatory or suggestive co-operation might strengthen the scientific and literary members of the Society for more fully accomplishing the objects,which, there can be no doubt, most of them sincerely and earnestly pursue. Science has often suffered for the want of such an Institution. It is especially liable to do so in an age like the present. The diffusion of knowledge, and the practical application of science to so many pur poses of daily concern, have immensely widened the field of discovery, and multiplied the number of dis coverers and inventors. A few minds may conduct the march of mathematical science, or of astronomy. In such departments, the unascertained is only to be arrived at, by a comprehensive knowledge of what is already ascertained. With the mixed sciences the case is different. For one accomplished mathemati cian, we have thousands of chemical and mechanical experimentalists. They have all their chance of discovery. Spinning-jennies, power-looms, steam itself, are memorials of what may be done by the half-informed, or utterly unscientific. Our manufactories are practical labareories. Cotton and silk mills are schools of mechanical invention. Railway travelling is yet only a great experiment, containing within itself a vast congeries of minor experiments, in all of which there is room for discovery, invention, and improvement. Knowledge, in short, has her thousand day-books ; variously kept, and of various worth. An annual ledger, to post the valu able items, and sum up the account of progress, is surely most desirable. Let the world take stock once a year; appreciate the merits of its servants; bring together the contributions of its benefactors; repress activity, when superfluous ; indicate where activity is most needed; and see where we are, and whither we are tending. How is this to be accomplished, but by a General Association for the Advancement of Science ? Rebuke its errors, if you will ; stimulate its indifference; keep it steady to its professions; but as to regarding it only as a fit subject for ridicule, that can scarcely be the honest thought of the most grinning monkey in the Zoological. Many subordinate advantages, of a very desirable kind, attend this main purpose of such an Institution. Personal acquaintanceship is a good thing in the votaries of science. If only as a pleasure, it is a healthful one. It breaks the monotony of solitary study. A more frequent and cordial co-operation is established ; and suggestions are thrown out by one, which become fruitful in the mind of another. A sudden light flashes from the collision of intellects, upon difficulties long struggled with in solitude to no purpose. If the pecuniary help rendered for indi vidual researches be small, it is often, small as it is, the sine qua non of those researches being at all continued; and to the aid of the British Association (in this neither small nor inadequate) we owe the most important of the recent observations that have been made in magnetism and electricity. But the actual utility of the most trifling advances, and the faci lity of their increase from enlarged funds, should miti gate what the political journalist, accustomed to record the munificent votes of parliament, deems the exceeding laughability of these little grants. WOLLASTON worked in a thimble. A philosopher may be set up by a sum which would seem comical in a counting house, and make wonderful merriment in the money market. Science owes more than she will ever pay to men who would not scorn the " odd twopence, " though twopence may be " a phenomenon" in Print ing-house Square; a thing it has to tax its recollection for, like Beau BRUMMELL when the beggar Leaked him for a shilling. It cannot be helped but that twaddle, quackery, and assumption, will follow on the skirts of science. To forego, on that account, any procedure tending to the good and glory of science, would be egregious folly. No earnest attempt has been made by the assailants of the British Association, to discriminate. The most incidental circumstance out of which a joke could be manufactured, is treated as if essential to the Institution. This is one of those untruthfulnesses to itself which intellect is prone to perpetrate. It for gets its own dignity in ministering to the ignorant claims of the capitalist or the customer. It sinks from the qualified instructor into the hired jester. It deserts the cause of mind, its own cause, to make fun for the "faction of fools." It has its reward; but not by services of this kind is earned that sort of recompense which fitly waits on better achievements, such as win the Testimonial of a perpetual scholar ship. On the press, generally, we axe glad to see that a reaction is produced, which, though it may not silence the stupid, after the encouragement they have received, nor teach the scorners to be " merry and wise," will yet abate the nuisance of ill-directed sarcasms. That such a nuisance should have arisen, though we would rather it had come from some other quarter, was to be expected, according to the ordinary course of things. It seems to be a law of human nature, that no considerable good should ever be undertaken without the accom paniment, so frequent in our House of Commons, of " much laughter, loud shouts of laughter." Amid such peals did FULTON'S steamer start on its first voyage. The British Association need not change its course, nor slacken sail. MR. SMITH O'BRIEN'S letter to Lord JOHN RUSSELL is a curiosity in its way, but scarcely deserving of notice on its own account. It is true that when Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN taunts the legislature with not having made more adequate preparations for meeting the im pending famine in Ireland, all who remember how he, a member of the legislature, wasted in a childish squabble the time which he ought to have devoted to that subject, are reminded of the cool Irishman, more frequently met upon the stage than in real life. It is true that when Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN recommends as a remedy for the urgent hunger in Ireland, that parliament should meet in Dublin to discuss a new code, embracing all the details and ramifications of the law of real property, the notion of substituting long-winded speeches t'or food, is sufficiently mon strous and foolish. But the sublime inanity of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN is now so familiar, that even these extravagances scarcely provoke a stare, coming from him. His letter is principally worthy of note as adding another stone to the cairn which Irish land lords are so busy piling up to their own dishonour. They are all in a story. Lord DEVON and Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, Lord MOUNTCASIIEL and Lord BERNARD, all agree that there is great distress in Ireland, that somebody must relieve it, but that the landlords must not be called upon to contribute. At the Cork county meeting, Lord BERNARD " contended that the land lords ought not to be called on to pay anything." Lord MOUNTCASIIEL entered into elaborate calcula tions to show that in average years the landlords only derived from their estates an aggregate rental of 5,000,0001., and that this year they would receive much less because the tenants would not be able to pay above half their rents. " Beyond question, those who held their hinds at high rack rents would not be able to pay above a small proportion, if any part, of their rents." Lord MOUNTCASIIEL, with the cool ease of Charles Surface, in the School fur Scandal, hints that his creditors may pay for him. "Those who had the cream of the property in Ireland were the mortgagees and the judgment creditors." Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN speaks more plainly. "Mortga gees and persons derivingjointures and annuities from land, will escape altogether from the taxation imposed for the relief of public distress." The high-minded noblemen and 'gentlemen of Ireland, the landed aristocracy, will give nothing to the poor if they can help it. Their creditors, who cannot get money from them ; the widows or the younger branches of their families, who have been portioned off with small sums secured upon their estates ; may be mulcted if Go vernment please. But it is their privilege to escape scot-free. _ _ The great panacea of these patriots, who would sacrifice themselves by proxy fur the public good, is a Government grant. "The Government," said Lord BERNARD at the Cork meeting, " ,ought of justice and right, as well as humanity, to expend upon improvements of various kinds in Ireland, within the present year, large sums of money, not as loans but as giants." Truly, loan and grant, where Irish landlords are concerned, have been found by government to be pretty nearly synonymous terms. There is a paper in the Correspondence explanatory of the measures adopted by government for the Relief of distress in Ireland, which throws an instructive light on the state of the loan account between the Imperial Government and the Irish landlords. In 1835 it was represented. that large sums had been, in the course of several years preceding, advanced from the consolidated fund for certain ser vices in Ireland, of the disposal of which no clear account could be given. On inquiry it appeared that the excess of advances over repayment was four mil lions, of which about one half was advanced not to be repaid. In 1846 the sum of 2,018,9161. still remained due, of the sum to be repaid, to the consolidated fund, part consisting of irrecoverable bad debts, part of balances in the way of repayment. tinder the Tithe Composition Acts, advances were made to the amount of 279,451/. to defray the expenses of applot ting parishes, and to be repaid by them. Of this sum "51,7241. has been repaid, and the remainder, l or 227,7261., may be considered as irrecoverable." Again, " under the Tithe Act 1 and '2 Vie. c. 109, the landlords' arrears, which were to be recovered in the name of her Majesty, amounted to 120,0001. ; but 45,0001. only were recovered, at an expense in law costs of 7,0001." All the advantages of this expendi ture have been engrossed by the landlords ; and the improvements effected on their estates by its means, have been their apology for exacting those " rack.- rents" which, Lord NIOUNTCASHEL so pathetically complains, stand little chance of being paid in whole or in part this year. One other trait to complete the picture of Irish landlordism. Between the 11th February' and the 7th August of the present year, grants and loans to various Irish baronies were authorised under the act I Vic. cap. 21, to the amount of a little more than 452,0001. The contributions in addition from landed proprietors are: Marquis of Lansdowne, 125/. ; Lord Darnley, 751. ; Sir M. Chapman, 20/. ; Mr. Gielding, 401. ; Mr. Walker, ; Mr. Fitzpatrick, 1001.; Lord Stuart de Decies, 501.; Sir W. Bacon, 50/. ; Lord Fitzgerald, 1901.; Lord Lorton, 20/. ; Sir A. Crichton, 301. ; Mr. G. Wills, 50/. ; -- Mahon, 2001. ; Sir G. Colthurst, 300/. ; Mr. Flana gan, 45/. ; Mr. Dobbs, 50/. ; Mr. Rae, 50/.; Sir G. Aylmer, 1001.: Proprietors not named, 3101.; and Lord LonToN "will contribute 500/. towards such roads in Roscommon and Sligo as will benefit his Property." It is melancholy to reflect that these, with Colonel COROLLA' and the Marquis of HEADFORT, who at meetings reported in our publication of to-day have had the magnanimity to declare that the Irish land lords must make sacrifices, appear to be the sole exceptions to the callous selfishness of their class. All the rest are clamorous to be exempted from contri buting to the relief of distress in Ireland. They say in effect, "Take the money of our unpaid creditors ; take the money of the widow and the orphan ; but do not touch ours. Kill the poor man's ewe lamb to make a banquet for the poor, who are GoD's guests, but spare our flocks and herds." Within the last twenty years upwards of five millions have been advanced by government for works in Ireland, all of which has gone to enrich the landlords, and not one penny of which has any chance to be re paid. And what is Government money ? It is the annual contribution of every citizen in the nation, it is the tax levied upon the poor washerwoman's tea, and on the bread of the stone-breaker, who has nothing else to eat. Out of these contributions, meant to defraythe necessary expenses ofgovemment, upwards of five millions have been diverted from their proper application and paid over to the Irish landlords. Not satisfied with this, these landlords are now making the distress of the Irish peasantry a pretext for ask ing to have as much more sent the same way. And because Ministers, sick of this heartless and scandalous jobbing, have taken measures to make sure that what is contributed towards the relief of Irish distress shall attain its proper destination, in blind anger they seek to exasperate the hungry crowds against Government by all kinds of misrepre sentation and vituperative language. They seem to forget, that but for the armed police maintained by the Government against which they rail, their " eeic tione might ere this have borne them bitter fruit. DIE intelligence received from Mexico by the last arrival from the United States is of a remarkable nature. The condition of affairs is complicated. On the one hand, we have the nominal Presi dent, PAREDES, roused at last to action, and on his way, it is said, though rather circuitously, to confront the invading army of General TAYLOR at Monterey ; and, on the other, the ex-President, SANTA ANNA, embarked for the shores from whence he was so re cently expelled, and welcomed before his arrival by pronunciametatos at Vera Cruz, and in the capital. It is no matter for surprise that this demonstra tion in favour of the man whose military fame once made him all-in-all with his countrymen, should have taken place; the coup, in fact, was long meditated, and rumour' had for some time pre pared us for the endeavour on the part of SANTA ANNA to regain the power which he exercised so long. But viewed in relation with the ostensible movements Of PAREDES, it presents an aspect of some singularity, though less singular in a country like Mexico than in most others; for there, the Spanish tendency to declare against their leaders is of more frequent development than elsewhere. A military president at the head of an army of fifteen thousand men, might, under ordi nary circumstances, be considered a formidable rival even to an experienced chief like SANTA ANNA ; bat when we remember how rapid is the spread of the con tagion of disautection among troops constituted as the Mexicans are, the solution of the problem is at hand. It is only too probable that the spirit of fraternisation will swiftly extend from the garrison at Vera Cruz to the army at Monterey, and the pronunciameuto which deprives PAREDES of power is complete. In the meantime, nothing certain is known of the actual " whereabout " of either ex-President. There has been no positive announcement of PAREDES having actually left the capital, nor any intelligence of the arrival of SANTA ANNA on the coast. Enough, however, has taken place at Mexico to settle the question of the occupancy of power. PAREDES has fallen, or will speedily do so; and SANTA ANNA, if unimpeded in his progress by the American blockad ing squadron, reigns in his stead. It is a nice point to consider what will be the course adopted by SANTA ANNA, when he once more fills the office of President of the Mexican Republic. Up to the period of the last nOvices, the pacific offer, of Mr. POLK were not known in Mexico. Will SANTA ANNA, flushed with success, and hailed Util a military deliverer, rely upon his old repatati ;n, and make an effort to recover that of the Mexican army; or will he rather lend an cur to the propositions from Washington, strive to consolidate his power, and construct a strong government ? If the surmises which have gone abroad in the United States have any foundation in truth, he will not take the field against the invaders ; but whatever his wishes on the subject, it is still possible he may, in the first instance, find him self in such a position as to have no choice left. Another battle may yet be fought, though the chances are, we think, against it; notwithstanding the active preparations of General TAYLOR, and the "fire-new courage" of the Mexicans, under an old and again popular leader. The advantage that will finally ensue to Mexico from the recent change is still problematical, whether the immediate result be peace or war. But it is high time that the government of the country should assume a permanent character; that it should no longer be the prey of the sharpest sword, abroad or at home, but have its independence assured. We have received from a well-informed Madrid correspondent the following account of the intrigues by which the marriages of the Queen of Spain uith the Duke of Cadiz, and the Infanta Luisa with the Duke de Montpensier, were brought about "After the Queen Mother had been disappointed in her pro ject of marrying her eldest dau , -hter the Queen to her 'brother the Count de Trapani, she turned her thoughts towards the house of Saxe-Coburg. W i lk in I'aris she had seen and been pleased with Prince Leopold Kohary. On the fall of Narvaez, the Court up to that time under the influence and acting by the coun- I gels of M. do Bresson, sought the support and assist ance of the English Cabinet. She addressed herself to Lord Aberdeen, and requested him to assist her in 1 obtaining l'rinco Leopold as the husband of the Queen, and on this condition the Court would enter completely into the English alliance. But Lord Aberdeen conceived himself bound to France, first by his admission of Trapani as a candidate, and then be cause of his having yielded his assent to the pretensions of Louis Philippe for preserving the family of Bour bon on the throne of Spain. Disappointed in their hopes with regard to the Tory cabinet, Maria Chris tina and her husband, the Duke de Rianzares, who conducted the whole affair, turned again towards France. Convinced of their unpopularity in Spain, they felt that they could not do without the support of a foreign governin nt, and they endeavoured to make sure of that which should offer the surest guarantees for their protection. France soothed the 1 1 disquiet of Christina, and the French embassy be- came the rendezvous of the friends of Narvaez, who ' are here the avowed partisans of France. They first of all sought to obtain the Queen's hand for the Count de Montemolin, but seeing that public opinion was against this match,thcy next thought of Don Enrique, in the hope of inducing him to accept the part of pro tege of France, but the Prince proved intract able. Narvaez then suggested the idea of choos ing his elder brother as the only Bourbon lett, and whom he undertook to secure. Maria Christina, however, held fast by the Coburg match, and resolved to makei another attempt. The ministry of Lord John Russell, since their accession to power, had shown a marked sympathy in favour of Don En rique, but in order not to frighten the Court of Spain by the idea of forcing him upon them, Lord Palmer ston confined himself in the first instance to recom mending the Court to adopt a more tolerant policy, to grant an amnesty, to calm the prevailing irritation and rely freely on the opinion of the country, hoping by this means to prepare the way for an arrangement that should content the Spanish nation. But Mr. Bulwer soon discovered that it was impossible to obtain anything from the Court without giving it what it asked for in exchange, that is to say, promis ing the hand of the Prince of Coburg, so strongly desired by the queen-mother, and he explained the state of things frankly to his government. The answer of the British Cabinet was waited for before they would come to a decision or yield to the pressing solicitations of M. de Bresson. If its assent was given to the Coburg match, liberality would have been the order of the day in Madrid. The ministry would have been changed, an amnesty would have been granted, and a constitutional course of government followed out. If on the contrary the cabinet refused, the court would throw themselves into the arms of France, would accept her candidate, and invoke the support of Narvaez. The period named by Mr. Bulwer as necessary for ascertaining the deci sion of his government expired on the evening of the 27th ultimo. In the anxiety of the critical moment, while yet in suspense, M. de Bresson gave an evening banquet to the friends of General Narvaez and the editors of the Heraldo, and there amidst thoughtful lucubration and the fumes of champagne, they discussed and wagered upon the result of the grand affair which was to resolve their doubts on the following day. The day came, and with it the declaration of Mr. halwer to Senor Isturiz, that the English cabinet declined the engage ment of putting forward the Prince of Coburg as a candidate for the hand of the Queen, and that the Court of S*n was perfectly free to act as it thought proper. These words had scarcely been uttered, and the Queen Mother informed of their purport, than she went to her daughter, and by making it appear to her that the refusal as to the Prince of Coburg was an insult, she decided her to accept the hand of her 1 cousin, the Infant Don Francisco de Assise. By adopting this course she conformed to the views of the French cabinet, accomplished the desires of M. do Bremen, and secured a triumph for the partisans of the reactionary anti-liberal system which governs us ; for the Infant Don Francisco, who, personally, is acceptable to the Constitutionalists, when taken as the expression and the instrument of French influence, becomes most objectionable to the friends of Spanish liberty and independence. At the same time that the marriage of the Queen with her cousin was decided on, that of the Infanta and the Duc do Montpensier was settled, which is nothing more nor less than the renewal of the Family Compact, and will give Spain over to the reactionary coterie who aim at converting the constitution into a hypocritical instrument of t xclusive domination. The country would witness without displeasure the annul ment of the choice of Don Francisco as the Queen's husband. It would have pielerred his brother, Don Enrique, but with regard to the Duke of Montpensier who as a principal might have been well received, he will be repelled as a secondary candidate, for in that match will be seen the guarantee of the offers made to the Queen Mother and her husband, to sustain the reactionary system which weighs upon this country." We have received, by our usual express, our private correspondence and the Paris journals of Sunday. The Minister of Public Instruction has left Paris for a tour of inspection in the departments. The hake and Duchess of Saxe Cobourg lift Paris for Brussels by an express train on Friday morning at half-past nix, with the;r children and suite. They reached the frontier of Belgium at twenty-five minutes past two o'clock. The Academic des Beaux-Arts awarded, on Satur day, the prizes of architecture. The subject proposed for competition was the construction of a Museum of Natural History. The successful candidates were— first, M. Normand, 24 years; second, M. Monge, 23 years ; and, third, M. Ponthien, 29 years of age. A letter from Brest, dated the 9th inst., informs us that rElltric will convey to the Isle of Bourbon a body of marines and a million of francs in specie,' which will make the third million sent to Bourbon in five months. In the anticipation of an insufficient harvest in France, and with the desire of providing for the humbler classes the resources necessary- for passing the winter, the Ministers of the Interior, of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works have in structed the prefets of the departments in which the crops are deficient this year to establish charitable workshops (ateliers de elarriLl) to which workmen are to be admitted who are thrown out of employ by unavoidable causes. In the departments of the Sarthe, the Indre, the Vienne, the Allier, &c., they are to proceed before bad weatier sets in to the adjudication of the works on lines of railway, the making, repair ing, and iinprovin4 all high ways and eistnet roads, so that the operations undertaken during the winter may supply the necessiti. a of the workpeople, and mitigate, in some measure, the results of deficient harvest. Between Tours and Bordeaux the authorities are to proceed without delay to organise the works for the second section of the riii!road. The construc tion of the great viaduct over the marsh of Arveyre is to ha proceeded with as actively as possible, and 200 workmen are already- employed there. On every point where the Government has con trol, it will take the most effectual measures to alleviate, as far as it can, the miseries of the work ing classes; and, to this end, on the application of the local authorities, the ministers in their separate de partments will open the necessary credits, so that no enterprise of public utility may fail for want of means. 'Ehe appearance of the vines in Champagne is most promising, and the vintage expected to be very pro ductive. The wine, it is will there, as in the liuniuutly and Bordeaux districts, be of the finest quality. A lethr, titled Tangiers, 24th August, gives a different version of the new s in the Moniker Algerien, as to the progress of Abd-el-Kadcr in the empire of Morocco. According to this correspondent, "the Emir does not appear to be at work tbr him self, though perhaps he will unmask his designs very soon ; but the fears which he inspires are still more serious and inconvenient, than ure given by the official organ of Algeria." 1% e are on the eve of great events. In La Garda of Madrid of the Bth inst., is the following official and important declaration : " We are authorised to announce that the marriage be tween H.R.11. the Infanta Dona Alaria Luisa Fernando de Bourbon and H.R.H. the Prince AntoinesMarie Philippe Louis D'Orleans Due do l'elontplusier, has been stipulated, agreed to, and decided on, by his Ex c-llency Senor Don Francisco Javier Isturita, First Secretary of State and President of the Council, invested with full powers by her Majesty the Queen our Lady, and his Excellency the Comte de 11, a sson, Ambarsador of France, also authorised with full powers from the K itg his august sovereign, who have drawn up, confirmed, and duly signed and sealed the raid act. The Cortes will tie duly informed of this alliance (De este statrimonio se Bard oportunumente cuenta d /as Corlit)." El Ileraido asserts, from the authority of letters from Italy, that Don Miguel was actively engaged is attempting to get up a revolutionary expedition to Pot tugal. PARIS, SEPT. 11. I think you are aware that the attempt made by the heiu:s rd the Protectionist party in Franca to influence the ministry was a failure. M. Duch:fle•l declared that he could not withdraw from the Free-trade association formed in l'arits, the authority to ms mble and address the public; but he stated at the same time to the delegates that he was quite willing to authorise them to organise themselves in the same manner. They will, however, think twice of it before they provoke a public discussion on their interests and doctrines. It appears, moreover, that the parti sans of the protective system, the iron-masters themselves, have ceased to maintain a good un derstanding amongst each other. The iron-masters in the north of France, who can only increase their manufacture by employing foreign foundries, and, above all, Belgian ones, demand the reduction of the duties which are laid upon cast-iron ; while, on the other hand, theiron-masters of the middle and south of France are oppcsed to these tariffs being lowered. The ministry divided between the two op posing demands, takes no step in the mitter, waiting, doubt less, till public opinion shall become sufficiently strong to de cide the question. This opinion already declares itself. Associations are being funned in most of the large towns in favour of free trade, to correspond with the central association of Paris. Marseilles has been the first to follow the example; then came Lyons ; and now it is announced that Havre is engaged in organising a si•ailar association. Before long free-trade, instead of being a mere abstract principle in this country will have assumed a substantial torm, and pos ess a voice. The Central Association will have another meeting at the end of September, and in the course of the winter the meetings will take place once a week. It is proposed, besides, to establish a weekly paper to report the proceedings, and extend the principles of free-trade. It is, in fact, the organisation of the English League which is to be re-produced. In the mean tune, the facts which are being revealed are most significant. They prove that France can no longer remain in the trammels of the prohibitive sys tem. The iron-masters who have the privileged control over the French market, and arc protected by a duty of 81. sterling per ton of iron, are perfectly unable to furnish enough for the co Isumption. Very recently, the Paris and Strasburg Railway Company, being in want of 25 thousand tons of rails, the French iron masters would undertake to supply them only on the condi tion of employing Belgian foundries i❑ their manufacture. At the present moment the atmospheric line from Paris to St. Germains is not open to the public, because the French forges which should furnish the tubes, have not yet delivered them. The company, basing their demand upon the im possibility of the French foundries to complete their contract, requested from Government permission to order the tubes from England, and import them duty free. The govern ment, who are the slaves of the iron-masters, would not consent ; and from this scandalous connivance between the administration and monopolists it re sults that the public will not obtain their rail way till full six months after the period originally named for its being opened. A case of a similar kind occurred with the company formed :n Paris, for establishing a line of transatlantic steamers between Havre, the United States, the West Indies, and Brazil. The French forges were unable to supply some necessary iron plates, and an appeal was made to the government to obtain them duty tree, but again the iron-masters interposed, and the request was re fused. It is calculated that within the last thirty years France has paid to the iron-musters alone a premium ex ceeding forty millions sterling. There was a time when iron was worth 3.13 francs a ton in France, the price in England being 120 francs. Now that rails arc sold in England for 240 francs a ton, they cost in France from 360 to 570. Does not this sufficiently account for the inferiority of French indus try, and is it not time to destroy a monopoly so greedy and so unproductive. 0. FRANCE.—BouLOGNE t SEPT. 11.—Having observed in some of the English papers, some very incorrect accounts relating to the death of our respected townsman, Mr. Barry, of the Marine Hotel, who had been for many years the corre spondent of several of the London papers, the following particulars may be interesting to his friends in England: " On Friday last he left his home, on horseback, for the pur pose of proceeding along the route to Paris, to meet the courier he was then momentarily expecting to arrive front Paris with despatches for the linglish newspapers, his object being to expedite the forwarding of the despatches by the packet then on the eve of departure for England. He had scarcely got 400 yards from the Marine Hotel, when he met the courier in the Rue de l'Ecu, and returned with him to the quay. Upon arriving opposite to the Passport-office, Mr. Barry was observed to suddenly check his horse, when he fell with considerable violence on the pavement. Medical aid was immediately at hand, but he never breathed or gave the least signs of life after his fall. There was, no doubt, cording to the opinions of the French and English doctor, that the unfortunate dee: ased died of apoplexy. His re maims, which were interred on Tuesday last, were followed to the cemetery by a very numerous circle of his Fri nch and English friends and relatives, and also by a daachmeut of the cavalry cf the Natimal Guard, to which he belonged: having been naturalised as a French citizen many pears since. He was certainly, and most deservedly, highly respected amongst his brother townsmen." GERMANY.—SCLIWERIM, SEPT. 9.—The statement of the French papers, that the Duchess Louisa will marry the Duke of Bordeaux, finds no credit here on many acconiits. - . ---- REMEDY FOR ILYDROPITOBIA.—The following cure fur hydrophokia has been brought to France from Germany by the Duke of Dondeauville. 'rho wonderful effects of the remedy were attested by persons of credit :—" Samples of the four following herbs must be culled at the end of May, the beginning of June, or in September : Euphortila Mama. 2nd, I 'cratrunt album. 3rd, l'olyymaium hydropiper. 4th, IfeUeborua rulgaria. These plants grow in swampy fields. It is necessary to bike a p.nch of each, put them into a tea pot, and pour bo:ling water upon them. A table-glass full Is to be given to the person or dog bitten by the mad animal. The wound is to be washed with vinegar and water, and the mixture to be taken forty-eight hours afterwards (twenty-four for a dog) and not previously. This potion has also the virtue of indicating if the bite was inflicted by a doe in a state of hydrophobia or not. In the first ease, the potion, which must always be taken fasting, will cause vomiting, and the p. Lion must be continued until the vomit ing, have catirely disappeared, which usually occurs after the third or fourth dose, taking one dose per diem. If the dog was not mad, the vomiting will not take place. Two does are sufficient to prove it. A dog cured by these means may be kept without fear. NUREMBERG, AUG. 31.—The following notice of the magistrates has been published to-day :—" The manu facturers of boxes (probably snuff-boxes), lithographers, copper-plate printers, printers, painters on porcelain, tur ners, .tc., are regain warned that it is prohibited on the most serious punishments to manufacture or tell articles which ' have any reference to the affairs of religious sects, such as portraits of the several Feet.iyiens, and with mottoes. In cases of disregard of this injunction, not only the manufacturers and sellers, but the copper-plate printers and lithographers concerned, will be proceeded against. At the tame time, the manufacture and sale of articles contrary to good morals is warned against, and will be punished iu cases of trans gression." VIENNA, SEPT. 6.—Yesterday afternoon, the sth, his Imperial Highness the Archduke Michael arrived at Vienna from Ischl. The transit hither from Linz was ac complished in the incredibly short time of 71 hours. The Archduke will await the return of hi: illustrious consort, and immediately after fix the time for his homeward journey. His Royal Highness the l'rince of Warsaw Teturncil hero from Ischl a few days since, and will commence his intended journey to Oldenburg in the course of a few days. BERLIN, Su'r. 6.—The departure of the Prince of Prussia for Vienna will take ' lace on the 11th of this month, and that of the King, for Silc xis, on the Dili. We bare no information whatever respecting the arrival of the Crown Prince of Wurtuxburg, and his consort, the Grand Duchess Olga. SEPTEMBER 7.—A clergyman in this neighbour hood late.y took upon himself to declare from the pulpit on all those who insured thzir furniture against fire, because they showed by . doing so a want of confidence in God! This clergyman has Insured his own very excellent furniture for 4,000 rix-dollars. Ile has received a very severe reprimand for his zeal. LEIPSIP, SEPT. B.—Yesterday and to-day two more bodies were found in the ruin, of the lire of the 26th of August, and it is very much feared, on further clearing away, still more victims of this dreadful disaster will be found. Yesterday we had again an alarm of are in two places, Bruhl and Quandtt, but speedy help prevented any serious consequences. It unfortunately appears, in clearing away the rubbish in the Ham streets, what very great in jury was done, not wily by the tire, but by the means that were employed to eviuguish it, such as brcakirg through the walls, &c. The damage is estimated (on a very rough calculation, it is true,) at 1 , 00,000 rix-dollars. ALTONA, SEPT. B.—The Mercury has the follow ing among its official notices: " His Majesty the King has been pleased, by a ministerial rescript of this date, to dis charge the Councillor of Conferences and Chamberlain Count of Reventlow, at his humble request, from his office as President of the Schleswig-Holstein Laucuburg Chancery, and to appoint in his room Count of Moltke to the post of President in that Chancery. EGYPT.—TOLERANCE OF lIIRARI3I PACUA.—The popularity of Ibrahim Pacha is, as we learn from Grand Cairo, on the increase. He has given proof of his great tolerance on two occasions lately. The great rabbi of the Jews had died, and it was indispensable to do that honour in death, to the chief of a religion, which was his due. The fear lest some fanatics might disturb the ceremonies had caused au application for protection to bo made by the Israelites to the governor of Cairo. He gave in return an evasive answer, and it was determined that an address should be sent to Ibrahim Paella in person. This address Ibrahim Pacha received in his divan, and after hearing it read, he turned towards the assistants and said :—" Since my journey through Europe I am discontented with myself. We carnet conceal from ourselves the fact that much re mains on our part to be done, not only to put ourselve, on the level with Europe, but also to comnieuce in the way of progress. I have seen what protection is generally given to religion of every de , cription, and the respect in which all are held, and I do not intend that in Egypt it should be otherwise. We owe the same protection to all, and I should he most unhappy were it otherwise. Instead of giving you a few soldiers to escort the conveyance, we shall put 3,000 at your disposal, and my own carriages will be given to you to put the bier in." The Pacha concluded by saying: " Fear not to be disturbed in the exercise of your religious duties to the head of your church. Go, and remember that Egypt shall henceforth be a country where all religions may be followed with entire liberty." This action, which reelects so much honour on the Prince, was followed by another. Ibrahim called together all hie MaineluLea, and gave theta their liberty, leaving them, at the same time, the full choice of having her service if they so wished it. They all assured him that nothing would induce them to leave the service of so good a master. ANIERICA.—ARREST OF A DEFAULTER FROM LON DON.—In July last an advertisement appeared in the Daily News, offering a reward of £2O for the apprehension of one Richardson, president of the North London Branch of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, who absconded with upwards of 5001., with which he had been entrusted, to pay over to trustees for investment. It having been ascertained that he went to America, a letter was sent to a former member of the institution he had robbed, who resided in New York, and he caused hand-bilis to be printed, describing Richardson's person, and offering a reward for his apprehension. By this means he was arrested just as he was leasing New York for Philad e lphi a . The prisoner was brought before Mr. Justice Drinkwater, who committed him for trial under the Ashburton treaty. The case having been removed into a superior court by a writ of habeas, sacs the Fein York Herald, it was argued by counsel before judge Jones, who decided that Richard son could nut be detained, and he was therefore discharged. Four 61. Bank of England notes were found in his watch pocket, besides other moneys, and also a new silver watch and gold guard. In his trunks wereseveral rings, brooches, breast pins, and a silver guard-chain; besides a post-office order for 41. 10s. 4d., dated St. Alban's, June 8, which he offered to give up, but his counsel prevented him. According to the bills found on him, the principal part of the jewellery was purchased in London a few days previous to his departure. fo some defect in the Ashburton treaty, or to a misconstruc tion of it by the American bench, must the escape of this fellow be attributed. THE SANTA FE EXPEDITION. An express from Gen. Kearney's camp at Bent's Fort, arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the 14th inst. The express left Gen. Kearney on the 19th of July. Gen. Kearney, with his command, consisting of several companies of U. S. Dra goons, the let Regiment of Missouri Volunteers, under Col. Doniphan, and the battalion of Volunteer Artillery, under Major Clark, sent out from Bent's Fort for Santa Fe on the Ist day of August. The troops were all in excellent health and spirits. There had been but one death up to the time the express left. A general stampede took piece among the horses two days before the express left, and at the time of his leaving, about fifty horses, chiefly belonging to the volunteers, were missing, and it was feared they would not be recovered. This will operate severely on those who have lost their horses, for in the event of their not re covering them, they will have to travel on foot. A short time before the express left, Captain Moore, of the U. S. Dragoons, captured three spies, who had been sent out from Santa Fe to ascertain the character, extent, &c., of the United States force. After their capture, and their purpose was ascertained, by the orders of General Kearney they were shown all over the army, and after they had seen everything, they were dismissed, and permitted to return to Santa Fe. From these men, and also from other sources, it had been ascertained satisfactorily that there would be no resistance made to General Kearney's taking possession of Santa Fe. In fact, it is said that the Mexicans were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the army, believing that it would furnish them a harvest in the way of trade, and protection from the troublesome Indians in their vicinity. There were no troops at Santa Fe nor in the upper pro- vinces, and none were expected. Governor Armijo bad issued a proclamation, in which he states that the existing hos tilities between the United States and Mexico will not inter rupt the trade between the United States and Santa Fe ; that in all respects it shall be conducted as if the war did not exist. This, of itself, is a sufficient indication that Governor Armijo does not intend to offer resistance to Gen. Kearney. —Our informant states, that the ladies of Santa Fe were making extensive preparations for the reception of the United States troops; and some of them expected to be per mitted to go with the expedition to California. Prepara tions were making for fandango dances and other sports.— It is said that Gen. Kearney will stop at Santa Fe until Col. Price's regiment arrives there. That, upon their arrival, that regiment, or a portion of it, will be left to occupy Santa FE and other important points in the vicinity, and Gen. Kearney, with the residue of the force, will proceed imme diately to California.—St. Louis Republican, Aug. 21. CONDITION AND PROSPECT 3 OF MEXICO.—The present state of the contest between the United States and Mexico, suggests matter for anxious consideration, not only to the English merchants and bondholders (whose property and capital to a vast amount are invested in the Mexican funds or embarked in commercial establishments through out the Mexican Union), but to the British government, which cannot view with indifference the progress of a war, which may in its results determine the balance of power in the western hemisphere. The troops of the tufted States, victorious in nearly every instance, ate advandagio, the heart of the country, and if unchecked by trety,. the mediation of a neutral power, they will most dictate their own terms of peace as conquerors. direct accession of territory (considerably beyond riot Grande) will no doubt be the first condition itupeeed by p a , sident Volk, and it will be well if one or more indepsok ig republics (independent but in name) are not carved oat s e the Mexican deco nions ; iu addition to these, dipulati esk extremely favourable to the trade, commerce, at :I male% of the United States, may naturally be looked for, t; the n& judice more especially of the &hie!' merchants, v. 1.0 1 0, hitherto maintained a leading part in the trade s !oag Mexican coasts.

The indolent and e on men of the South are no match for the hardy ritl eoe , and hunters of Kentucky, Texas, and the Bord. r Sta.rt the Union, nor have they yet learnt to make up by skfilu g g discipline for the deficiency of their physical force. Al abound ng iu wealth, yet is the state 03 the verge of ruptcy, and the vast riches of the empire will only serve y inflame the avarice of their enemies. This leads me ti e s ,„ Sider what are the prospects of, what is the destiny Resho t the Mexican Conte deratien ? Let ua suppose, lc.teingu e the best, that the victorieus Americans e .1 leo the cession of a large district on their fronts, will retire without exacting harder terms ; judging hem i experience of the last seventy years, we can only look forms/ to a succession of ephemeral governments, dnetrecti , .g ie s state by turns, each lasting only until wine turbulent edit overthrows it an./ seizes the reins himself, the state a prey o internal dissensions, and a rource of discord to foreign natio, It is the interest of the British government to endeuvour guard against such a state of things, not enly by offens e to mediate on the present occasion, but by using their influence to effect a more permanent Pettis meat of the Mexican form of government; the ene rienco of many years has shown that there is nut is Mexico, a national spirit adequate to sustain the due week, leg cf republican institutions. It is the opinion of nifty experienced statesmen that a monarchy modified by come tntional forms is the best, and, indeed, the only form of govereenent capable of securing to Mexico interuulpea t e ae g external independence; a prince apprueed of by the usiew, and in alliance with forerga states would offer the aura guarantee of the public credit, and the best safe-guars reg.. inst foreign aggression. Srpt. 12. Pao -Cox set. COLONIAL. CANADA. Our files of Montreal papers are to the 29th ci August. Their political news are not of mark or moment The Morning Courier of the 28th says, in its Packet Sum. may—" Political affairs remain in Oulu quo, although it is generally believed that some further overtures have bus made by Mr. Draper to the leaders of the French Canadian party; they have not been attended with success, and Mr. Draper, it is raid, went oil to Saratoga to a grand mugs a rude—preferring the polka to polities. Of the latter it may be presumed he is getting as sick as the people are of hi blunders. Most of the other ministers are absent has town." The following extract expresses, we doubt not, the fishnet of the Conservative party in Montreal; we suspect Mr. Buda is the only Whig whom the Courier would let down* gently : " Great anxiety generally prevails in the colony relatire to the appointment of a successor to Earl Cathcart, r Governor-General. It is generally believed that his lordship will be recalled, and the colonists feel that a very great deal depends on the character of his successor. 'lbis is use of toe most important epochs in colonial history, and the eyelet. of the next year will in ell probability decide the fate of Canada for the next two centuries. Under these circumstances the character of the representative of the Crown is of all import ance. He ought to be a man acquainted with commercial atilein to a considerable eau ut, and at the s ame time a politician, alio understands the mode in which representative and napousi• ble government is worked in Englund, and who will carry out the same system in Canada. Ile must at the same tier be a man of the most determined resolution, accustomed to judge for himself, and who will not yield one io:a when be knows that he is constitutionally right. He ought also to a a man of easy access and conciliating manner., and of a liberal disposition withal. We do not want a man to coma to Canada, whose only consideration is how much money be can save out of his official income. We trust that the new ministry are impressed with a sense of the necessity of paying more attention to colonial affairs than they liars hitherto done, and wo.are the more readily , inclined to think they will from the composition of the co lonial office, M t . Charles Buller knows probably more of Canada than any other English politician, but ho is not popular hero with the Conservative party, and is generally thought to be rather too crotchetty. ' Montreal continues to be disgraced by savage feuds be. tween the ltibsndmcn and Orangemen; and unles feu makes men exaggerate, the antipathy felt by the former to the latter is beginning to extend to all l'rotestants. A lit. Clark Leonard was brutally murdered by an Irish mob re the Course of St. Pierre immediately atter the close of the first day's races, on the 19th of August. From the evidence given on the inquest, it appear* that a band of ruffians bad sought him out on the course and beat him to death with clubs. The only person who had the courage to inter fere on his behalf was a young girl of the name of Mary Carroll, who thus simply told the story of her own iutrepe dity : " I remained on the course, until the last race ass run. I saw a large number of men with sticks in their hands beating some person. I did not know who it was, (erne was s stranger to me, nor do I know the persons who were beating him. I saw him fall on his hands and face in a drain : while on the ground, I saw him struck. I ran into the crowd, to help him, for I saw the blood streaming down his left ride. I threw myselfon him to save him : I was pushed off. I then returned to my brother and went home." The only ofiince known to have been given by Leonard to his murderers was that he (originally a native of the United States) had enter tained a number of Orangemen at breakfast some time before. The coroner's jury, after a protracted and deems. filmset° investigation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against four or five individuals, and haaded the following letter to the coroner " We, the jurors assembled on the coroner's inquest, holden on the body of the late Clarke Leonard, deem it incumbent upon us, to express our great recrit that those to whom the conservation of the peace is confided, did nut adept more efficient means fir the msintenance of peace and good order, on the lira and second days of the late races, on the St. Pierre race-couese. We are further of opinion, that a hi asy responsibility at taches to these arties in corm, xion with the vio lent death of Mr. Leonard, being . firmly eons incest. that a judicious disposition of the same free of mounted police officers, as that present on the Let day of the raw, even without the presence of the military, would have ren dered the perpetration of such an outrage as that in *Skit the deceased met his death, highly improbable." The want of proper police in Montreal appears indeed to be most discreditable. The Montreal Times mentions a number of outrages which have been perpetrated unchecked by loth factious. It is lamentable that our Irish countrymen should insist upon ke: ping up their blood feuds in a country where there is not the shadow of a grievance on Other side. In the United States it is the saute. To their clannish spirit and invincible taste for faction fights they owe the invete rate dislike of the "Native Americans." ELOGICLNCI Or THE MoNTILEAL Tows CorNCTL.—TRE CANADIAN TeLLY.—The Town Council of M"ntreul rijoices in an orator who bears the inspiring name of Tully.

" After making a reply to the mayor, which, front the confusion, we were unable to bear, Councillor Tully kit." NOVA SCOTIA. THE COMMENCESIE:k.'T OF Silt JIMIN IIARVES'S REIGN. - We have files from Halifax to the 3rd instant. Sir John Harvey arrived there, in the steam-ship Unicorn, from Newfoundland, on the morning of the _"9th of August. He landed a little after ten ; was Tees i%td he a great concourse, " no boisterous cheer," asp the Halifax Morning Post, "breaking the imi owing elkct of the cere mony ;" mounted, according to the same authority, "on a et black charger;" and rode straight to the Council Cham ber. There he "fa received by the Executive Council and the members of the legislature, the Lord Bishop, and the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, with other notables. Major- General Sir Jeremiah Dickson proclaimed, and Sir Rupert George administered the oaths to the new Governor, who thereupon " took his seat on the throne, and in due form, at ten minutes past eleven, assumed command as Lieutenant- Governor and Commander-in-Chief." Sir John's tact was soon tried. He had been expected to arrive a fortnight sooner, and a congratulatory address had been sent, nobody exactly knew by whom, for signature to various stores. As it was not anticipated that time would be allowed for more regal'sr proceedings, the public were inclined to acquiesce in this arrangement ; but when it was known that two full weeks were to elapse before the Governor's arrival, a number of the inhabitants wished to have the address initiated and adjusted at a public meeting. A meeting accordingly was held on Tuesday, the Vith of August, at which objections were taken by sonic leading liberals to the phraseology of some parts of the address, as haring a tendency to compromise inn.
