The object of this Company is to construct a line of railway be tween Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport. The accommodation pro posed to be thus given has long been desired, but the diflicalty of ob taining a convenient entrance into Liverpool has until lately proved an insurmountable obstacle. This difficulty the Liverpool and Bury Railway, now in course of construction, affords the means of over coming, it being proposed by the present scheme to make use of that line for nearly a mile and a half out of Liverpool, and thence proceed, by way of Bootle, Seaforth, Waterloo, Crosby, and along the coast, through Formby, to Southport, affording to those places and the ad jacent farm districts a cheap and speedy means of communication with Liverpool. On the other hand, the benefits to the over-crowded population of Liverpool in a sanitory point of view, by giving ready access to the rapid], -increasing bathing places along the coast, the district of Crosby, and the much-frequented and salubrious watering place of Southport, as well as throwing open the intermediate coun try for the purposes of villas and residences, cannot well be over estimated. The undertaking is promoted by the principal landowners and other parties locally interested. The line is about sixteen miles in length, and, being nearly level, is entirely free from engineering difficulties. A considerable part of the land between Crosby and Southport, over which it will pass, has already been given by the landowners, and the cost of construction will be unusually small. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted, by Act of Par liament, to the amouit of his subscription, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for shares may be made, in the subjoined form, on or before the 6th of November next, to the solicitors, or to any of the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. D. and J. B. Neilson, or Messrs. Aspinall and Hughes, Liverpool; Robert M`Ewen, Esq., Manches ter ; or to Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street, London. In the allotment of shares, a preference will be given to parties having local interest, and a reserve will be made for landowners. Liverpool, Oct., 1846 FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—An affray with poachers lately took place on the Killin Moors, Inverness-shire, which had hem taken for the season by Lord Edwin Hill, and a party of his friends. Mr. Dudley Majori banks, who was one of the number, had gone upon the bills on the morning of Friday the 25th of September, accompanied by the gamekeeper and one of his assistants, when they discovered the poachers; and after a short pursuit and contest the latter were overpowered ; and being deprived of their guns, surrendered themselves, when they were sent off to the prison of Inverness. During the struggle, the head keeper (Dickson) had a providential escape' one of the p oac h ers h av i ng l eve ll e d his gun, and fired at him, when almost in a state of proximity, at the end of the pursuit.

Another instance is unfortunately added to the long catalogue, already recorded in history, of the friend ship of nations and the preservation of peace being jeopardised simply in consequence of a dynastic squabble. What frivolity to vaunt the superior en lightenment of this generation ! What vainglorious folly to boast the excessive advances of civilisation in the nineteenth century ! ;What ignorance to cant about our emergence from the darkness of feudal in stitutions ! We may have increased the repertories of knowledge to an enormous extent ; we may have effected a mechanical progression, have discarded horse power for steam, hand-wheels for spinning jennies, water clocks for chronometers, and so forth ; but, as far as the emancipation of human intelligence from the prejudices of government and from the anti quated bonds of legislation is concerned, our position has continued stationary since the war of the Roses and the struggle between the Guelphs and the Ghibel lines : this at least, if the jealousies at present existing between the rulers of Great Britain, France, and the Peninsula, can be regarded as a specimen of our political advancement. At the identical moment when the emancipation of commerce in an empire of commercial influence immeasurably beyond that of Tyre, Carthage, or Venice, promises to bind the whole earth with the golden chain of universal bro therhood, and to render wars impossible from the in timate and catholic reliance of one country upon another—at that solemn and propitious moment the continuance of European tranquillity is rendered dubious by the personal avarice, and for the exclusive advantage, of a single Sovereign. Is this, we ask, in accordance with those enlarged views which political philosophers have been advocating for now nearly a century ? Is it con sonant with the principles which the wisest and most cosmopolite of philanthropists have promulgated ? The mind can readily embrace the notion of a war being aroused for the purpose of aggrandising the territories of a state—there is an equivalent there for all the sacrifices incident to a campaign, though it is an equivalent somewhat deteriorated by its uricon scientious character. A defensive war is comprehen sib'e ; a war to maintain the dignity of an insulted nation presents an idea which the imagination can readily embrace; but a war undertaken or rendered probable merely for the benefit of a single family, however exalted, is an event altogether incompatible with the enlarged opinions which we have hitherto regarded as the only ones entertained by every civi lised people. For centuries the Bourbon dynasty has monopolised the interests of European sovereignty. To that dy nasty the descendants of RonoLrli of Hapsburg, the Braganzas, and the Plantagenets, were almost liable to be regarded as so many imperial parvenues. , More or less, the descendants of Huau CArET still occupy their original position of importance among the continental principalities—as far, at least, as occupancy is concerned. After an interval, during which the French, Spanish, and Neapolitan sceptres were wielded by the Emperor NAPOLEON, King JOSEPH, and King JOACHIM, that family has been reinstated in its original position—the representative of the younger branch in France, the descendants of the original occupants to the thrones of Naples and the Peninsula. The very name of Bourbon, from its antiquity, is undoubtedly venerable, it is associated, moreover, with many illustrious deeds, with sublime exhibitions of virtue, with astonishing evidences of valour. The name, , has, moreover, been sanctified by the misfortunes with -which it has been latterly coupled, and has justly elicited the superb and pathetic panegyric of CuA TEAUBRIAND. Eminently worthy of consideration as the elder Bourbons are, we are not however dis posed to think that for those reasons the individual advantages of their posterity should be regarded as of superior importance to the tranquillity, the hap pines?, the social and international friendship of nations. It is not surely for the domestic aggrandize ment of any man, even supposing his veins to be en riched by the blood derived from a CAPET, that pro vinces are to be exposed to the peril of being ravaged, or that the blessings which would otherwise encom- pass a whole generation should be altogether pre vented. Such, in simple truth, however, is the nature of the consequences which may possibly flow from the Montpensier alliance. For the extension of the family interests of an Orleans, the peace of Europe is endangered, and the very existence of Spain as an independent nation rendered a matter of the mos harassing doubt and uncertainty. The plea upon which the English Government, through its ambas sadors, has protested against these nuptials, is, as every one acquainted with the mere syllabus of European history is already aware, one of the most simple and indisputable pleas ever advanced by any Cabinet. That plea is the treaty of Utrecht. We are familiar with the language of that treaty ; the terms of the treaties of Amiens, of Luneville, of Leoben, of Campo Formio, and of divers others, recur likewise to our recollection, and we cannot conceal from our selves the fact, th a t never was t rea t y couched__ in language more distinct and conclusive than the one signed at Utrecht. In defiance, how ever, of the explicit wording of those stipu lations, the application of that treaty to the recent occurrence at Madrid has been boldly questioned by the upholders of the Guizot policy. Indeed, a specious article has ap peared in the columns of La Presse, denying that the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER is in any particular opposed to the engagements entered into towards the commencement of the eighteenth century. The arguments there employed have since ;hen been most signally refuted by an anonymous diplomatist in the Rational. It require; however, bu Little trouble to dispose of such denials when we find the redoubted Plump, Grandson of France, Duke of Orleans, Valois, Chartres, and Ne- moors, declaring on the 19th NO.. vember, 1712, in allusion to the Spanish :throne"— "We will and consent, for us and our descendants, that from this time and for ever, we be held, we and ours, excluded, disabled, and incapacitated, in whatever degree we may happen to be, and in what manner soever the succession may fall to our line." The matter which has thus taxed the ingenuity of the Parisian scribes is contained in a nutshell. ffe adverted yesterday generally to certain consti ,utional functions which the Ministers of this country are expected to discharge, and amongst them was that of availing themselves of the extraordinary powers constitutionally vested in them, by virtue of their office, to ward off, or mitigate the effects of any unlooked-for conjuncture of affairs that might hap pen to menace the general welfare of the country, andjvve stated that we considered it a positive duty on the part of Government, under existing circumstances, to unbar our ports for the introduction of all kinds of grain, duty free. It is apparent that some of the deep thinking, clear-headed, and well-organisedpublic bodies of vast experience and prominent influence, have fos tered the expectation" that, owing to the indisputable and melancholy aspect of the country, in relation to the threatened dearth of food, with its serious and inevitable consequences, the Administration would ere this, and without any promptings, have authorised —at any rate till the extreme pressure was subdued —the intromission of grain, free of duty, from every quarter of the globe. But the patience of those bodies is exhausted, and sensible that the crisis brooks of no further delay, they are endeavouring to convince the Government that wisdom and humanity alike dictate the necessity of our ports being immediately thrown open to the foreign merchant. The Directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures dispatched a memorial to Lord JoHN RUFSELL on this absorbing topic. It is powerfully drawn up. They express their gratitude for the measures of relief lately granted by Parliament, and the confident hope they entertained of reachi ng w ith out mater i a l injury the end o f the three years, during which duties were to be leviable upon foreign corn. It is then solemnly observed, that " the dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDENCE have, however, interposed, and, in the opinion of your memorialists, have thrown upon the Government further awful responsibilities." The following cutting expose of the " conflicting and cruel anomalies" of our system cannot fail of its due im pression : "Prayers are directed to be offered up in our churches to have those evils averted, and yet one of our laws enacts, that whatever may be the price of wheat, the smallest duty to be paid upon the in:port of it shall be 4s. per quarter ; another law decrees that food brought into the country by certain vessels shall not be eaten at all by our people ; whilst a third declares that nothing shall be used in our distilleries but that which would serve as food." The Town Council of Sheffield have followed the ex ample of Manchester, Dundee, and other places, and actually (which was not strictly legal) suspended a standing order, with the view of losing no time in memorialising her MAJESTY in Council to favour immediate free trade in corn. 'We trust these philanthropical demonstrations will have their due weight. From no man more than the present Premier have we a right to anticipate that the prayers of these influential peti tions will be readily acceded to. His position is un doubtedly a responsible one, and we quite concede that nothing short of an imperious necessity could justify any deviation from the terms of the great settlement effected by Parliament in relation to the corn-laws. But that dread necessity has arisen, and it is now too late, such is the national urgency of the question, to summon the Legislature to take the initiative in relaxing their recent law. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as well as Mr. COBDEN, deprecated the " rag of protection " which Sir R. PEEL offered the obdurate landed proprietors, and only offered, as we believe, not from a conviction of its being free from objection, but simply with the object of enhancing, the chances of passing his great measure into law ; and now that "the dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDENCE have interposed," to expose its futility in point of wis dom, and its excessive cruelty towards the helpless poor, we trust that our Prime Minister, who pre dicted these things, will not hesitate to apply the needful remedy. Only yesterday we mentioned that " famine and crime were haunting us on all sides," and this morning brings us the sad intelligence of four deaths from starvation in Ireland. Two have fallen victims to famine at Castlehaven, one in Macroom, and another in Skibbereen. Deplorable facts, these, to go forth to the world, that within the far-famed British dominions people have suffered the excruciating and fatal pangs of hunger, and which might never have been their miserable end had not selfish laws precluded them from participating in the enlarged bounties of nature so prodigally scattered over the various quarters of the earth. It seems almost a mockery to offer up our prayers in churches, that we be shielded from the aggravated calamities by which we are surrounded, till we have first squared our laws with the true principles of universal charity. If we would deserve to be emancipated from the cumulative horrors of pestilence, famine, and death, we must draw close the bonds of civilisation with every country, keep wide open our harbours to the shipping of every clime, and not presume by con ceited laws of prohibitions to disturb the reciprocal interchange between enlightened and enterprising countries of the different bounties with which Pnovx- DENCE has severally blessed them. The convention of the noblesse of Livonia, at pre sent assembled at Riga, has been engaged for ten days in discussing the new constitution for the peasantry, proposed in the spring by the special corn mittee at St. Petersburgh. ' The POPE on the 7th visited the towns of Albano and Castelgandolfos, and returned to Rome in the evening. His progress both going and returnin g was a perfect triumph. A letter from Rome of the Bth states, that in con sequence of the systematic hostility manifested by the Congregation of Cardinals to the reforms pro posed by Cardinal Gizzi, the POPE had replaced that body by a Consulta di Stab°, formed of the Under- Secretaries of State, of the prelates occupying at Rome the highest administrative fuections, and several distinguished lay members. A weekly paper, called the Contemporaneo, was on the point of ap pearing under the auspices of Cardinal Gizzr. M. BALIIITI had been appointed Bishop of IMOLA, the see lately filled by the PorE. 1 Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. They are filled with details of the preparations for the royal nuptials, which were celebrated at ten o'clock on the night of that day. Mr., BULWER, who had been in vited to attend the ceremony of the signature of the marriage contracts, had formally declined to attend. "It is proper, however, to state," says the corre spondent of the Journal des Debats, " that Mr. Buz,- wax excused himself with the greatest possible polite ness on the ground of the particular circumstances which impose upon him the reserve to which he has I confided himself, at the same time declaring his re spectful devotedness to the KING of the FEENCII and the Royal Family of France." On the evening before there was a grand dinner given at the French Ambassador's. In the published list of the guests we do not observe the name of the Duke of VALENCIA (Narvaez). Before the dinner, the Duke DE bIONTPENSIER presented to M. IsTuarrz,'in the name of the KING, the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, and the cross of grand officer to the , Duke D'OssuNA and M. DE PEZUELA, Captain-General of New Castille. The Clamor Public° states that on the 9th Mr. BULWEN returned from Aranjuez, and that before he left Madrid for that place he presented to the Spanish Government a new protest against the consequences of the marriage of the INFANTA with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. In this note, adds the Clamor, the displeasure with which the British Government be holds the marriage is strongly set forth. The same journal, on the authority of letters from Valencia and Saragossa, states that a Carlist band has made its appearance in the Muestrazgo. The 10th being the fete day of the QUEEN, the ' Boise was closed. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Journal des Dads, in a very temperately written article on the subject of the Genevese revolu tion, denies that it has , ever manifested any sympathy for the Jesuits. It expresses its regret at the revolu tion, but from the tone adopted it would appear that it is not the intention of the French Ministry to inter fere actively in the affairs of Switzerland. On the subject of the Montpensier marriage we find the following reply given by the National to the assertions of the Court organ, the Presses—. _ - " The Presse has noted our declaration that if the English Government had conducted itself with bad faith in the negotiations relative to the marriage, we shOuld have been eager and happy to accuse it, as we have always done. Neither the National or the Presse have certainly been consulted upon these negotiations, but the Prase has received and published a version, which we believe to be entirely incorrect both in facts and dates. We beg that it will answer the following questions:—ls it true, that at the first interview at Eu, which took place in 1842, there was no mention of the marriage of the Infanta, but only of that of the Queen ? Is it true, that, far from p resent i ng the sons of Don F ranc i sco de Paula as candidates, M. Guizot named only Trapani and Montemolin, and that Lord Aberdeen brought forward the two Infantes ? Is it true that this first conversation was resumed in England, with this concession, that it would not cramp the in fluence of France to promote the preference of Trapani, provided Spain retained her freedom of action ? If the first point is certain, it has been wrongfully stated, first, that the French Government wished to be adopted as the best of all plans, the union of the two Infantas with their cousins ; and, secondly, that' Lord Aber deen was completely in accord with M. Guizot on this point. The second interview at Eu took place in October, 1845. Then it was that the question of the marriage between the Infanta and the Duke de Montpensier was first raised. Was it proposed that this marriage should be consummated at the same time as that of the Queen ? Did not Lord Aberdeen conclude his opinions with the following phrase This mar-, riage would be attended with fewer objections if the suc cession to the Queen were assured by her giving birth to one or two children ? Did not M. Guizot take the indirect assent with these conditions and in these terms? if this be certain, it is, consequently untrue to say that he combination which is now effected had the consent of .he late English Cabinet, since the marriages are simul- - Aneous, and Queen Isabella is without a direct heir to throne of Spain. The Presse has since stated that M. Guizot communicated to Lord Palmerston the verbal conventions of which wo have just spoken, trad asked whether he accepted them. These communi cations, it says, were made as far back as the month of May last. This is a singular date, for the Whig Ministry did not enter upon its functions until the be ginning of July, and the marriage was concluded on August 28. What passed during these six weeks ? What guarantee were the communications of M. Guizot attended with ? Was the marriage of the Infanta men tioned in the letters to M. Jarnac, or that of the Queen only ? Was it not towards the end of July that this first letter was sent ? It has been said that Lord Pal merston gave no answer to this letter, nor to a second, which reached him a few days afterwards. Is this cer tain ? Had not Lord Normanby an interview, on this occasion, with M. Guizot in the name of the British Ministry ? Was he not charged to declare that the affair of the marriage required more reflection ; that the choice of the Count de Trapani as a candi date having been unfortunate, Spain should be con suited on that of Don Francisco ; that, as the Cortes was about to be renewed according to the terms of the constitution, it appeared to be more proper that their meeting should be waited for ; that it might be in ferred from what had been said by M. Isturitz to Mr. Bulwer, that there was a certain mistrust of the new candidate proposed ; that, in fine, the Infante Don Henry appeared to be more likely to insure the happi ness of the Queen of Spin ? We cannot warrant the correctness of these particulars; but was there not in fact an answer from Lord Palmerston ? It would be, there fore, wrong to assert that from his silence an intrigue was inferred. In fine, are we to be told what is the date of the last letter from M. Guizot, announcing that if England did not explain herself clearly and distinctly on what was agreed upon with the preceding Cabinet, France would act as she thought best for her own in terests? Was not this letter of August dated the 24th, while the of eir was concluded at Madrid in the night of the 28th ? Thus, as bile M. Guizot was calling upon Lord Palmerston to explain himself, he was playing his cards at Madrid in such a way as to trick Lord Palmer ston, and bring about the marriage. This certainly was very cleverly done ; but if our facts and dates are cor rect, however much M. Guizot may boast of his address, can he at the same time boast of having been honest, sincere, and without reproach, AS the Presse has de clared ? We affirm nothing. We do not nor can we know if what has been related to us has really taken place. If we hare been deceived so much the better, and we shall be able to resume with the deeper conviction the confidence which will make us happy in combatting with the utmost energy that British perfidy, against which we preserve the most lively, the most immortal animosity." The Constitutionnel thus comments on the utter selfishness manifested by the Guizot Administration throughout their whole proceedings : " A difference remains to be settled between the,Eng • lish and French Governments. Will England permit, without saying another word, the final accomplishment of the marriage which she has endeavoured to prevent? Evidently not. If our information from England is exact, it is probable that the indirect offer made by our Government of the renunciation of the Duke de Mont pensier for himself and his descendants to the throne of France will not be accepted. It is also probable that the renunciation of the Infanta to the crown of Spain will not be insisted" upon, for that would be immediate war. But our readers must expect to see a note addressed direct to France by the Eng lish Government, to repeat all the reservations made in that already transmitted to the Spa nish Government. These reservations, it is well known, refer principally to the hypothesis of Queen Isabella happening to die without children, and the Duchess de Montpensier being in consequence called on to ascend the throne of Spain, and to transmit to her descendants the inheritance of that Crown. England will declare herself beforehand to be fully determined to oppose any such succession. Even should the English Ministry confine itself to this protest and these reservations, it would be a serious matter, even for the present. It throws on the politics of Europe a permanent doubt, which cannot cease except when the Queen of Spain shall have had several children. Until that time our relations with England, the probability of peace or of war, and the safety of the Spanish monarchy will undergo all the variations attendant on the health of a young woman and of her first child. Suppose that one year —two years, should pass ever without the Queen of Spain having any hope of an heir, during that time mutual distrust must increase between England and France, peace becomes problematical, and the prolonged incertitude places in peril interests which require that the future should be reckoned on with cer tainty. Is the perpetuity of a difference, the solution of which is entrusted to chance, a good situation to exist between two nations? Free nations hare secured them selves by their very constitution from the most objec tionable chances of the monarchical succession ; they have resolved to enjoy as much as possible only its ad vantages. And behold how, for a petty interest, family discords, family intrigues, family arrangements, have ren dered subordinate, precisely as was the case one or two centuries back, the political relations of three constitu tional countries—France, England, and Spain—to the birth, the health, and the physical condi tion of a child yet to be born ! Meantime our ministers and our ambassadors have obtained, as the clear and. possible result of their great triumph, a very cool reception for the Princes in Spain, the irritation of a part of the Spanish nation, and the rup ture of the English alliance, with all the reciprocal ill humour which may burst forth in all points of the globe. Persons who for the last six years have been grovelling before England considered us too patriotic because we defended with some energy their own policy in Syria ; they got annoyed because we blamed them for throwing themselves, immediately after a humiliation, into the arms of their late adversaries; they preferred disavowing three French officers, and paying an indemnity to the murderer of our soldiers, rather than supporting the coolness of England; and at present they become all mix ieti for a marriage and a dowry! Here we behold them all in a ferment about a matrimonial alliance which they, however, declare, ought not to chaugeanything in the po litical state of things; and they were cold and trembling when the interests and honour of their country were at stake! France was neither in Syria, nor in Texas, nor at Otaheite, nor with M. Dupetit-Thouars or M.Bruat; but she is altogether at the feet of a little Spanish Princess. The entente cordials was then the supreme, the only in terest of the country ; and at present, what signifies the entente cordiale compared with this ma rr i age pr i ze ! F or si them into invet erate patriots Foolish people as they are, not to perceive t o w h at a d egree o f Court affair a a ff puerility and paltriness they lower th e i r po li t i ca l con d uct by the language which they use at pr esent ! Th e pu bli c ai t r he t y ur w ns were e proud 'to b e E nglish, and now a in France is observant of their deplorable inconsistency. It compares what they say and do at present with their words and acts of the past time ; it looks with pity on their court patriotism ; and it judges with an equal se verity both the unworthy sacrifices which they have im posed on France during six years in the name of the entente cordiale, aid the sacrifice which they make to day of the entente cordiale so dearly purchased." It is said that M. Guizot will seek an intimate alliance with the Northern and Absolutist Powers, as a substitute for the entente cordiale, and that he has succeeded in obtaining from Prince METTERNICLI an expression of approval of the Montpensier marriage. Austria will, it is presumed, bring with her Russia and Prussia, and the Russian alliance has always been an object of desire with Louts PUILIPPE. On this subject the Courrier Francais observes that, some months since, even before the appearance of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE on the coast of France, it pointed out the obvious desire entertained by the Cabinet of the Tuileries, and that of St. Petersburgh, to approach each other. "Russia," adds the Courtier Francais, "has never remained indifferent, particularly since 1830, to the poli tical events passing in the south of Europe. In Spain, for example, it formerly supported the pretensions of Don Carlos, and the Emperor furnished him with consi derable sums of money, so long as he believed that he might succeed. At present, on the contrary, when the son of the same Don Carlos likewise pretends to the throne of Charles the Fifth, the Russian Government will neither afford a moral support nor advance a rouble. Whence has arisen such an alteration with regard to the Spanish Carlists? Is it not an evident proof that Russian policy must have changed with regard to the French Go vernment? If the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, no mat ter whether from cunning or necessity, would not connect itself with us, would it not at present favour the views of the Count de Montemolin ? Is there any one, in fine, who believed that the treaty of commerce lately concluded between France and Rus sia was possible ? Is there a further proof required in support of our assertions ? The following is one which any person at all acquainted with the character of the Czar will not refuse to acknowledge. The Baron de Rayneval, our representative at St. Petersburgb, is at present on the best terms with the Russian Court and diplomatists, and the Czar invites him to his family dinners. It may be said, in reply, that M. de Barante likewise en j oyed a certain consideration at St. Peters burgh. Yes, no doubt, but that consideration was purely personal, and when the op portunit ypresented itself; th e A utocrat failed not to insult, not M. de Earante, but the representative of the French Govern ment. On what conditions has M. Guizot obtained these results? Whatever they be, we believe them to be radically i ncompatible with the principles in the name of which we repel that alliance which will be quite as factitious, quite as false, and quite as disgraceful as the famous cordial understanding, and which, moreover, will be immoral. R o • re jo ices a t see in g the ' cor dial understanding' between France and England dissolved by the events of the Peninsula. The Rus sian. diplomatists have on this occasion indulged in ob streperous joy ; but let us not deceive ourselves ; it is a joy full of peril for France. Russia would desire the annihi lation of theßritish power, and it is under the empire of that hatred that it will ally itself for a certain time with France; but if it be imagined that for that reason the Emperor will sympathise more with France, or the liberal spirit of which she is the true representative in the world, it would be to-fall into a gross illusion, and at a future occasion we should inevitably endure bitter de ceptions. This is the reason why, after ever having 'combatted the:Cordial understanding, we shall as ener getically repel the French-Russian alliance as long as Russia shall not have entered into the course which Pro vidence cannot fail to open for her in spite of her Czars. We ought not to seek our alliance either in Russia or in England. Germany in a state of progress is there, and Prussia at its head ; let us turn our eyes in that di rection. If great political problems have often arisen at the extremities of Europe, it is almost always at the centre that they have been resolved. Charlemagne, Charles V., Frederick, and Napoleon, have experienced it sometimes in their triumphs, at other times in their r3verscs. It is an historical event not to be disdained, that the Germanic race has formally been engrafted on the Gallic race, and thence we can compreh e nd that the French and Germans ought to be brothers, in spite of the contests which the two nations hare had to maintain one against the' other." • The number of the Spanish refugees who have been sent to the Castle of Blaye since the escape of the Count de Montemolin, is thirteen, and their names are the Marquis de Valdespina, a Grandee of Spain, formerly Minister of War; Generals Villa real, Gomez, Vargas, and Guibelalde ; Colonels Men zano, Negueralla, Zabuto, Zebacho, and Aysete ; and three ecclesiastics, Gonzales Balthazar, Jose Antonio, and Jose Übage. Valdespina, Villareal, Menzano' and Negueralla have been so much indisposed as to require and receive the attendance of Surgeon-Major Brivin, who is charged with the medical service of the castle. The Moniteur publishes the Excise returns of France for the first three quarters of the present year, which show, as compared with 1845, an increase of 13,000,000 f. (520,0001.), and with 1844, an increase of upwards of 27,000,000 f. This statement does not appear to have had a favourable influence on the Bourse, where it was stated that " the reserve" of the Bank of France had from 254,000,000 f. diminished to 130,000,000 f., and that the reserve of the public Treasury had dimi nished in a similar proportion. The pressure for money was so great in Paris on Wednesday, that bills amounting to 15,000,000 f. were tendered for dis count at the bank that day ; the largest sum on re cord fur many years. The price of bread and of meat continues unpre cedentedly high in Paris. The consumption of butchers' meat has considerably lessened, as compared with last year, and the number of bankruptcies has greatly increased.

BANKR UPTC Ii.—(THIS DAY.) (32tbre Mr. Cow mission& r SHEPHERD.) BEAN V. JOHNSTON. This was an adjourned summons under the Small Debts Act. The plaintiff; it will be remembered, is the landlord of the Greyhound Inn , at Croydon, an d th e de fendant is a l a dy who had been connected with the affairs of his Serene Highness tho Duke of Brunswick (the particulars of which were reported in The Sun of Saturday last). The defendant had contracted a debt of between 121. and 13/., but refused to pay, and a ver dict was recovered against her, The case was adjourned in order that the plaintiff might adduce evidence to show that the defendant possessed means to pay. At the request of the defendant, summonses were also granted against two gentlemen to attend. Mr. Bean said that he was labouring under a great difficulty to show she could pay the debt. He under stood from the defendant's offer, on the last examination, to hand over documents to show that she was entitled to property, that the defendant meant to make out some thing was coming to her, out of which alone she could pay the debt, and therefore that defendant ought to make out her case. The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Bean must show that the defendant was in a condition to pay. Miss Johnston called Mr. Warutord, a solicitor. Mr. Harrison, Mr. Warnford's managing clerk, said that he attended to produce a deed. Mr. Warnford was at the Judge's chambers, but would attend in a short time, and regretted he could not do so at the moment. Mr. Milling, a solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Dudley, a relative of the defendant, and who had been summoned, and in answer to questions by the Learned Commissioner, said he did not think that the defendant had any interest in the property she claimed. Mr. Bean urged that the defendant had admitted on the last occasion that she had received money from his Serene Highness, and could receive more. The defendant said the last money she had received was in January last. She was an authoress. The de fendant then passed some very strong remarks on the case. The Learned CON3IISSIONER cut short a warm con versation between the defendant, and Mr. Hillery, and Mr. Bean, by saying his duty was only to see whether the defendant had means. Mr. Hillery was the only one who spoke to the point, and he thought the de fendant had not means at present, and therefore no order could be made ; if, however, it was shown hereafter that she could pay, an order would be granted. The defendant, who had a large packet of newspapers and documents, was proceeding to address the Court on " the whole matter in dispute," as she termed it, but was checked. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Storey, of Fleet-street, was summoned by the Churchwardens of St. Duntan's-in- the West, for non payment of 91. 155., due for church-rates. The case was heard before Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Alderman Copeland on last Saturday, when the de cision was in favour of the Churchwardens, but no war rant of distress was then pressed for. ,This day Mr. Perry appeared for the defendant, and contended that the magistrates had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the rates due amounted to 151, and were therefore not re coverable in this court. After a very prolonged discussion the magistrates de cided in this (and in the other following cases), that the complainant had discretion to take out a summons in the first instance for the smaller sum, and to proceed afterwards for the remainder. They would not grant an appeal to the sessions, for which they considered there was no ground. A warrant of distress was accordingly ordered. Several other cases of the same nature were similarly diposed of. MARKET NEVII7---S.-(TIIIS DAY.) COVENT-OARDEIT.

To James Jackman, 70 S, one guinea, for apprehending two men, for creating a dis turbance and assaulting Mr. James, Bedford Arms Tavern, Camden•town.

MONEY and CO3I3II2I:CIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO TIIRE.E. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000 bales; about 6,000 were taken on speculation, at full prices.

Much satisfaction ha 3 been produced by a full denial of the report prevalent at Liverpool very generally—here par tially—that one of the Halifax steamers had been con sumed at sea by fire. As a proof of the extraordinary facility now afforded by steam and railway conveyance, by adopting the port of Southampton for the unloading of cargoes of produce, a convincing instance may be reported of the dispatch used by the dock and railway authorities at South - ampton, in the dil,eharge of a cargo of figs and sultanas, brought by the Achilles steamer, from Smyrna, the whole of which, consisting of 15,000 drums, having been landed and cleared at Southampton, and received by railway in London for distribution 24 hours after their arrival. The increase of the importation of fruit and perishable articles to Southampton, as affording a quicker mode of transit to the London market, has so much increased, that the directors of the Dock Company have appointed a superintendent exclusively fur the landing, clearing, and forwarding the various articles of this now important branch of trade. The Bank of England returns for the past week, shows a variation, with the items of its predecessor, as follows : A decrease in the issue of notes of 281,6601., or to 29,078,1351. A decrease in the rest (owing to the payment of the interest upon Bank Stock) of 503.8271. An increase iu the public deposits of 25,2071. An increase in the other deposits of 155,4831., or to 5,322,6261. A decrease in the seven day and other bills of but 7930/. In the banking department the notes last time were 8,809,150/. Decrease, 503,3651. Thera is a decrease in the amount of the precious metals in store of 234,392/., or to 15,582,2341. The Consol Market has been extremely heavy this morning. For the next Account the price has ranged from 95* 4 and and for Transfer from 95 to 94i. The Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities have been sold at 934, and Exchequer-bills at 13s. premium.
