LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1846.: Unless some marvellous and unexpected catas trophe transpires, and that immediately, the evil omened marriage of the Orleans Prince and the Bourbon Princess will in reality be un fait accompli. Whatever may subsequently be the consequences of this calamitous alliance, the English Government will have no cause for self-reproach ; the English protest will be its historical palliation ; the English representatives at the Tuileries and the Escurial will have acquitted themselves with a dignity, a delicacy, and a discrimination befitting the responsibilities of their office. When these occurrences can be no longer re garded as contemporary, but are matters of political retrospect, the denial of the assertions of Senor ISTURITZ 7 transmitted by Mr. lIENRy BULWER, in a letter to General SERRANO, may be tak en as a sufficient testimony of the temperament which then characterised the different Eu ropean Cabinets. Nothing but a moat reprehen sible aptitude for the employment of Ministerial hypocrisy could have enabled the leader of the Spanish Administration so far to outstep the limits of social propriety, as well as of Parliamentary discretion, as to misrepresent the language uttered by a foreign ambassador, and the sentiments entertained by a friendly Government. Nothing but a most intense conviction of the honesty of the power whose opinions he was deputed to transmit, and THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1846 of the magnitude of the resources at the disposal of his Sovereign, could have capacitated the British representative at Madrid to pen a contra diction combining so much of amenity with so little of compromise or of superfluous conciliation. Upon the spirit of the correspondence published in the Clamor Publico might be decided the relative can dour and secresy which have latterly distinguished the peninsular and insular diplomacy. Notwithstanding the decisive protest entered against this marriage by Great Britain on interna tional and constitutional grounds, in open defiance of the fundamental stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht, and despite the unmistakeable dissatisfaction ex pressed by the population of the Spanish pro vinces, the melancholy (because ominous) cere monial is being precipitated by every possible device. While the communication of Lord NORMANDY is lying unanswered by M. GUIZOT, the Dukes D'AUMALE and DE MONTPENSIER are passing with an enormous escort from Bayonne to Vittoria , and from Burgos to the capital. While no satisfac tory response is forwarded to the British Embassy by the advisers of ISABELLA 11., the apartments of the Count DE BRESSON are being elaborately decorated for the reception of the bridegroom of the possible Sovereign of the Spanish territories. Infinitely, however, as the Afrancesados may be inclined to congratulate themselves upon the apparently pro pitious consequences of their machinations, they must, on mature consideration, acknowledge the un soundness of their present position, and the probable evanescense of their existing prosperity. While they may rejoice over the patronising serenity with which the Duke of VALENCIA watches their proceedings in the metro polis, have they not cause for trepidation in the sullen tranquillity of the populace ? They demonstrate their temporary puissance by mulcting a sum of 50,000 reels (5001.) from the Eco del Comercio, as a penalty for the boldness of its language, but are there not proclamations of a more incendiary character flying about the valleys of the Pyrenees, calling upon the Basques and Navarrese to rise in behalf of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN ; adjuring them, as they love their nationality, and as they pine for the acknowledgment of their political rights, to de clare for that constitutional liberty which had been previously lost by " the incautious, the credulous, and the docile children of Biscay and Navarre," and proclaiming to the ripened imaginations of the pea santry that " CHARLES VI. is no despot," that he is no antagonist of progress, that he is, on the contrary, desirous of insuring to his people the soundest civil and municipal liberty. These Afrancesados may rejoice in the contemplation of the success which ha , hitherto attended their wily undertakings ; but while CHRISTINA and the Duke DE MAN - zARES are tranquilly located in their palace, are there not rumours of the appearance of CABnERA in Valencia? The cathedral porches may be hung with damask tissue in anticipation of the expected nuptials, the royal brides may be already vesting themselves in their marital garments, and the restricted amnesty by which the twin mar tiages aie to be commemorated may be al ready prepared for the sign-manual of her most Catholic MAJESTY, but are there not prospects of the Spanish people requiring themselves to be forced to swallow the gilded bolus ' Do not the recent enmities in the Faubourg St. Antoine show that the French Government may have its own internal embar rassments, fur the Journal des Daa's appears to hay( considerable reason in conjecturing that the disturb ances have not originated in any scarcity of pro visions ? There is a hollowness about all these Afrancesado arrangements which promises their speedy subjugation. To say the very least of it, the prosecution of the Montpensier marriage, in open defiance of the British protest, is singularly indica five of an anxiety on the part of the Gallic Adminis• tration to splinter the entente cordiele. If there be honour, and honesty, and security in the consumma tion of these proceedings, how is it that they have been throughout characterised by so much secres‘ and so much precipitation ? The proper response to that inquiry would ensure to the Spanish people the preservation of their nationality. An investigation of considerable interest took place at Ryme, in Dvsetshire, on Thursday last. It was not undertaken or conducted by any authority, no official or legal personage presided on the occasion, and yet matters were elicited respecting the conditioi of the agricultural labourers in that locality the im portance of which cannot be overrated. As there was no person or persons authorised to come to a con clusion, and to bring in a verdict, or publish a report as to the result of the evidence taken, the public must form their own opinions thereon. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the Hon. and Rev. SYDNEY GODOLPHIN OSBORNE, a gentleman who has earned for himself the highest character as a philanthropist, the greatest honour for the disinterested zeal which he has exhibited, in his capacity as a country clergyman, for the amelioration of the condition, the increase of the comforts of the labouring classes, by whom he is surrounded, pub lished a letter on the 24th of August last, in which he exposed several abuses to which the labourers of Ryme and the surrounding parishes had been sub jected. He called attention to existing laws directed against the practice of master manufacturers being retailers of goods to their workmen, to what is com monly called the truck system, which has ever been found most injurious in its effects upon those of the humbler classes who have been brought within its operation, where the parties purchasing are afraid to question the quality or the price of the goods with which they are supplied by their employers, who would have it in their power to dismiss them from their work in case of any complaints, no matter how well founded. He stated that he found meat which would have been condemned in Newgate Market sold to the labouring poor; that the wages of at least nine out of ten of the labourers in husbandry was paid in 'the shape of goods, sold to them by their masters, in cluding meat of the above character ; that the wages of able-bodied, married men was 7s. a week, those of single men and lads, from 16 to 25 years of age, from 2s. 6d. to 65.; that for about two months in the year the mowing and harvest afforded some task work, • at which about 10s. per week, besides an allowance of cider, might be earned, but for which the work must be from five in the morning until seven at night. He then detailed the exorbitant prices they were charged under this truck system for articles of the worst description. The sheep killed just before they were (to use the labourers' expression) cold dead ; the diseased cows, in like manner, and the flesh retailed to the working men, who were thus obliged to participate in the farmer's loss ; and that it would be hard to find any man who had drawn 21. in money for his wages in any one year. Such a statement proceeding from so trustworthy a source naturally excited great attention. Mr. OSBORNE did not shelter himself under the disguise of a fictitious signature, but manfully gave his name to the world as the author of these charges, which he did not bring forward until he had by the strictest examination satisfied himself of their truth. At the end of three weeks a formal contradiction was put forward signed by Mr. DANIEL BRAKE, the principal farmer in Ryme, his son-in-law, his nephew, and two other farmers. Mr. OSBORNE having replied, stating the grounds on which he had made his assertions, was challenged by Mr. BRAKE to a public investigation into the truth thereof before the rector of the parish and a reporter, an offer which was immediately accepted by Mr. OSBORNE, and hence originated the meeting and investigation to which we have alluded. Mr. OSB ORNE conducted his own case , while the farmers were re presented by a neighbouring attorney. The wit nesses that were examined were subjected to the strictest cross-examination ; their employers were present, prepared to impeach any exaggerated account, if any such should be offered ; the witnesses who hail been examined were kept separate from those who had not as yet given their testimony, in fact every advantage was given to the employers, even to a speech to evidence from their attorney. The proceedings and the evidence have been fully published, and we confess it appears to us that the statements made have been fully substan tiated. We are told by one witness of a bullock found dead in a ditch, and pulled out by horses. It had been apparently dead for some hours, and yet it was stabbed, and its flesh retailed. Another speaks of mutton—part of a sheep found dead in the fold— salted, and sold to the people at 2d. per pound. Another of a sheep which bled a little when its throat was cut. It was therefore a nice article, and fetched 4id. per pound ; others spoke of beasts killed just as they were dying of the quarter evil, and sold at 3d. and 31d., and of their being made ill by meat of that description. This would appear a full corroboration of Mr. OSBORNE, so far as the unwholesome meat was concerned. That as to the wages was still more con clusive. One witness, WILLIAM BENNETT, had 7s. a-week in harvest, and his wife, who received his wages, never in any one year received much more than 21. in money for his work, unless when he had been working for Mr. BLENNERHASSETT, who always paid ready money. Another, Was. BUGLER, received 9s. per week for twenty-four days in the summer, and but 7s. per week for the rest of the year, and had not drawn as much as 21. in money in any one year. It is needless to go through the mass of evidence brought forward, which clearly established that the rate of wages was not understated, and that it was, to say the least of it, expected that they would take the greater portion of their wages in goods. AGRIPPA GILL, when drawing money, was asked, by Mr. BRAKE, why he did not take the wages out in goods, that he might have them from him (Mr. BRAKE) as well as from any one else, and called him "a ready money chap," which would not do for him (BRAKE). We trust that all those interested in the welfare of the peasantry will read, and attentively consider, the whole of the evidence given, and say if it does not establish the existence of a state of facts which should not be sanctioned or tolerated in a Christian land, in a civilised country. Something must be done to improve the position of the laborious classes, to educate them so that we may not in the nineteenth century hear of such an absurd proceeding as master and man "going TO HAT" on some trivial occasion, and of the belief of the multitude that the person speaking falsely in such a case would most assuredly lose his sight. We trust that Mr. 031101 ME will persevere in his useful labours. A cure for the evils which he has so forcibly depicted can only be obtained by the force of public opinion, and that can only be excited by full publicity being given to all similar grievances. We also hope that the unfortunate persons who have been called as witnesses may not be hardly dealt with by their masters for the answers they have conscientiously given in an investigation challenged and detranded by the farmers themselves. Philosophy, as well as experience, from which it is drawn, alike teach, that knowledge, both acquired and prospective, must he considered as a whole. The limited development of the faculties of the human mind compels us, for our own convenience, and the easier mastery over the materials of intelligence, which a spirit of investigation, pursued in every quarter of the world, daily discloses to our view, to classify and arrange the various subjects that must be assiduously prosecuted for the advancement of general civilisation. It is immaterial what science we first light upon, we are sure to find, as we pursue its laws, that it is intimately blended with another of a kindred character, however remotely connected, if not altogether distinct, both the one and the other might have appeared before the subtleties of intelligence had rendered their connexion manifest. If we begin with the study of geology, we are naturally led to the influence of its varied characteristics upon the herbs and fruits of the earth ; by the differences of the latter, we are drawn on to a consideration of the dissimilar climates that prevail in opposite hemi spheres ; and by this dissimilarity our minds are raised :o the contemplation of the marvellous science of astro lomy. Every species of knowledge, then, is but a part an entire whole, whereof the several properties )ear a close, though, for the time, an imperceptible affinity. Thus, the more we know the more Nke become sensible of how little we do know, and to the truth of this a most beautiful homage was paid by the great NEWTON himself. A spirit of selfishness has turned a deaf ear to the sound dictates of philo sophy, and, in this way, avarice and ignorance com bined, have created and fostered hateful monopolies to the direct hindrance of the onward movement of human progress. llappily, the schoolmaster is :Abroad, and, in this enlightened age, we are con 3tantly witnessing that the foolish errors of our an cestors are being wisely and promptly repaired. Monopoly is now all but razed to the ground. A great social revolution is at hand. We have read with unfeigned satisfaction the pro- ceedings, on Thursday last, of the North Staffordshire Agricultural Society, at Leek. The exhibition answered the just expectation of its promoters. The dinner was attended not only by the principal agri culturists and professional gentlemen, but likewise by the leading manufacturers of the district. The Earl of TALBOT presided. The advice that was tendered, and the liberal sentiments embodied in the different speeches, reflect the highest honour upon the company, and evince the peculiar energy inherent in our countrymen whenever it is fairly evoked by a peculiar crisis. It is apparent that the agriculturists consider themselves fairly put upon their mettle by the recent change in the corn-laws, and that they will, as they ought, eagerly pursue every method that can, and will, no doubt, be yet further devised, to enable them to keep up a free and honourable competition with the culti vators of foreign soils. Mr. GYDE expatiated with considerable intelligence upon the general advantages of draining and stall-feeding. This gentleman's lecture of last year upon the former topic has been already, as vouched by the Noble Chairman, productive of much good. The statistics he offered are most interesting, and full of pro mise—to an extent, indeed, that must be quite inspiriting to the hitherto despondent agricul turist. By the system of drainage he recommends —which has been satisfactorily tested, and which is to be regarded only as the commencement of a series of agricultural improvements—there would result, according to the least favourable calculation, an in crease of 10,000,000 quarters of the different kinds of grain now produced on the arable cultivated lands of Great Britain, and twice as much more by similarly draining the uncultivated lands ! Mr. GYDE exhorted his hearers to stir up their energies, and to exhibit no want of spirit, being convinced that abundant fertility would crown liberal enter prise. Mr. ADDERLEY, M.P., related an anecdote which was warmly welcomed with all the propriety of awakened conviction. " Not long ago," said Mr. ADDERLEY, " I went with Mr. COBDEN over his ex tensive mill at Stockport. Mr. COBDEN showed me all the machinery, and pointed out to me the many improvements which had been effected in almost every department ; then taking me into the suburbs, he showed me a field overgrown with thistles, and said, That's the state of your manufacture.— (Cheers and laughter.) I have never since forgot the hint."— (Renewed laughter.) Nothing has tended more to retard improvements connected with the soil than that miserable short sighted policy of landlords, in not giving leases to their tenants of sufficient length to encourage them to invest their capital on the land. This narrow minded spirit was, and, for the most part, is still tenaciously clung to for the purpose of preserving political power, and bolstering up their own sordid interests. The evil has, however, recoiled upon the ungenerous upholders of so obnoxious a system. The staff of monopoly has been already wrenched out of their hands, and they are now left to brace themselves up to the dreaded task of competing with the growers of foreign grains, under disadvantages to which they would never have been subjected, had they acted upon comprehensive and national, instead of petty and in dividual, views. Lord TALBOT spoke out upon this subject with the becoming frankness, true fearless ness, and generous impulse of a thorough English nobleman : " I have always unreservedly given my opinion on one important subject connected with agriculture—anti I have not been thanked for it by many—l man the subject of /eases. —(lleer, hear.) No man in his senses would expend his capital on a farm without having some security fur that capital coming back to himself or his representatives.—(Tremendous ci.eers.) And I here •tiWiely state, that if any tenant of mine will come to . me and ask me for a lease, I will grant him one.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) It is absurd—to use no stronger term—to expect ine to put my hand into my pocket fur money wherewith to speculate, without a fair prospect of that money being returned."—(Cheers.) The landlords of England must con over this lesson, imitate this spirited example, take . warning by the past, shake off dull sloth, avail themselves of every light of science, especially when confirmed by the fruits of experience, and then they will soon - become sensible that they have only been frightened at shadows, and will realise to themselves the satisfaction of constituting an aristocracy, not proud, as heretofore, simply because they were powerful, but powerful because they have taken a pride in rendering them selves useful, and securing the regenerated affections of the hardy and industrious tillers of the land. A letter from Venice, of the 25th September, states that one of the three Moncenigo Palaces on the Grand Canal has just been purchased for the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, in his own name, for a sum of 350,000 francs. It was supposed that he would re side in Venice, as it was known that he is about to contract a matrimonial alliance with a Princess of Modena. Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have been received. The Afrancesado Ministry still continued their war against the press. The Eco del Comercio was seized on the 28th, before a single number was pub- lished, for an article on the Montpensier marriage, and the Government inflicted on its proprietors a fine of 5091., not for publishing, for the Eco was not per mitted to be published, but for daring to form an opinion unpleasing to the ruling powers. The Eco has suspended its publication in consequence. In the Senate, on the 28th, the debate on the col lection of the taxes was continued. In the course of it there was a personal scene between General SER RANO and Senor PIDAL. The General taunted PIDAL with having voted on a former occasion against the MIRAFLORES Ministry from factious motives. PIDAL retorted, and made use of the epithet disloyal, in allu sion to General SBRIIANO. The logomachy then waxed fast and furious, until at length the President was obliged to adjourn the Chamber as the only means of putting an end to the disturbance. The matter, however, was amicably arranged ; and on the re sumption of the debate, on the 29th, Senor Mox an nounced that the Government had devised a plan for forming a proper provision for the clergy. The de- bate was not concluded when the post left. It was reported in Madrid that CABRBRA was in the province of Valencia organising his followers pre paratory to an outbreak. The Dukes DB MONTPENSIER and v'Aurcur , ar rived at Vittoria on the 3d. They were to leave that city on the morning of the 4th, and are expected to arrive in Madrid on the 6th. The Reraldo says that after the marriage Don FRANCISCO will have the title of King conferred upon him, but that all acts of sovereignty will be in the name of ISABELLA 11. In the same paper we find the following, purporting to be an extract from a letter from Alicant : " A person who has arrived here in 36 hours from Gibraltar states that the English squadron, which was at Cadiz on the 24th, had set sail for Tangiers soon after the arrival of the corn ul from that port. The departure of the British Consul from Tangiers is attributed to sonic insults having been offered to the English flag." The envoys from the new republic of St. Domingo had arrived at Madrid for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of peace and amity with Spain. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 29.—Three per Cents. for cash, 341; Fives, 22 paper. Exchange on London, 364. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. There was an attempt on Saturday night to renew the bread riots in the Faubourg St. Antoine, hut, like the attempt of the preceding evening, it was speedily suppressed by the authorities. Criminal prosecutions have been commenced against sixty of the rioters who were apprehended on the night of Friday. Great ap prehensions are entertained of famine and scarcity in France, and on this subject M. DE LAMARTINE has written a long letter, which the Dibats justly cha racterises as a mixture of excellent ideas and of great blunders. The Debats of Sunday has the following article, written evidently in order to calm the existing excite- ruent : " Tho disorder which for the last few nights has eigned in one of the faubourgs of Paris, has not been Or a very serious character. The rise in the price of bread was probably but the pretext for it ; public atten tion has nevertheless been called to the subject, and the question has arisen whether or not alarm may be felt at the result of the late harvest, and as to what the Go vernment might and should do in supposing it bad to interfere. In the first place, what has taken place at the shops of certain bakers proves nothing. One or two of the bakers, when asked for bread, had no more ; nut that they had made a less quantity on that day, for want of flour, but because they had sold a larger quantity during the day. In the second place, no alarm should be felt, were it not only that because alarm would not cause an hectolitre more wheat to come to us, and would rather cause that which was on its road to be stopped, supposing that we were in want of it. Besides, the country is in no way exposed to a want of food. Under this idea there is not even a shadow n k i i fi n c g e d n o t m h t a o r v thees t ot h h a e s r b e To e n tehxep greatec ted t orarrsotm. danger.i one si m eenndAt of the a a l g l the world, the crop, after beinghrashed, has been found to b e but middling , ra ther below than over an average quantity, but, however, of a quality superior to that of years of scarcity. A disap pointment has consequently been felt generally as to the quantity. s t o b f an eor t n h , is a nwasd for parties necessary t t o a o speculate on an advance. B ut nothin g ca n l ess r esemble cause Nothingi n price a country exposed to famine than France with the harvest which she has j ust had. Ther e i s onl y one country in Europe in which famine has made its appearance, and that is Ireland. But the misfor tune of Ireland does n ot solel y arise from the want of corn. The Irish are not fed on corn ; the y consume potatoes ; and, by a cruel fatality, that unnappy country this vear has had its crop of potatoes entirely de stroyed by the disease which has also been felt in Europe. France has therefore abun dancealmost every part of of corn. Besides wheat, it has other grain, and also potatoes. The worst that could arrive would be, that the north of France, which contributes to the supply of the south, should keep for themselves a pa r t of what is generally sent to tha t p art of the countr y . But in case of that happenm • g it is known that the Mediter ranean is rich in corn-growing countries. The wheat of the North Sea can furn ish us at a moderate p rice. Such is the real state of the case ; and we ask of any man o f sense whether there is any cause for alarm T Paris, in particular, has i ts su pplies as well secured as in former years. The environs of Paris are among the number of those parts of the country where the harvest has been the most abundant. Th e ordinary measures which cause Paris to be one of the points of the globe where bread is found in the greatest abundance haveenever ceased to be in operation. Paris is the city of France and of the world, where disturbances on account of corn are the most without any pretext." On the subject of the affairs of Spain, the Journal des Debats declares that Count MONTEMOLIN was in London on the 30th September, and that he had dined with ESPARTERO, who had endeavoured to persuade the son of Don CARLOS to become a constitutional monarch. With regard to the whereabout of the Count on the 30th ult., it is extremely improbable that it should have been London, seeing that his par tisans have always denied that he has ever been in a L n o d n d w o h n ic h a n w d i will that b a e fou p n ro d cl i a n m a a n t o io t n, herpcuoblulishe column, is i b h s y da i t m, e d Sept. 14, from the foot of the Pyremles. As to the story of his dining with &TARTER°, we think we may venture at once to state that it is a pure fabrica tion. Very little reliance can be placed on anything which appears in the French Ministerial papers on the subject of Spanish affairs. As the National most f o t u e b r w t doubted. rd s How pro v e m d a t n o y be f truthfully obser ves , " It will so on b e suff i cient for a piece of news to b e announced in the Mi n i sterial journals to cause i t to b e atten tion?

Have they been more exact relative to the movement of parties and the con duct of men? No, they published that the Carlists and Progressistas had formed an alliance, and that a mon strous coalition would be seen. Nothing was more false than this news, and the Ministry knew it to be so at the moment it endeavoured to make the public swallow it. However, they persisted, and to add to the lie, announced pompously that Cabrera had dined on a particular day with Espartero. We did not take the trouble to contra dict so stupid a ealoolo3'; but there are people with whom stupidity alone succeeds. Finally, the Wats lately stated that the son of Don Carlo s had' had an interview with Prince Louis Napoleon, and the place, day, and hour wet 0 named. W e had no distrust of a piece of intelligence so officially •affirmed; it was, however, just as false as all the rest. We are at present requested to state that Prince Louis is not acquainted with the sum of Dan Carlos, that he does not know where lie is, and that he never saw him. A review, f o rmerly faithful to the Left Centre, and which bad fortune has lately converted, re lates in its turn the history negotiations connected with the marriageof the ' in that tone peculiar toMinisterial confidences; the accoust is garbled front one end to the other. It is there also stated that Nlontemolin did not succeed in contractin g a loan. and that he could scrape together but 25,0001. We know p asitively that these 25,000/. were his own property, and that before leaving London the son of l)on Carlos had speared all the financial means which be might want for the rising which he meditated. As we pray most THE WEST INDIA MAILS.—The Royal Mail steam ship Medway, with the Mails from the West Indies and Mexico, arrived off Southampton at nine o'clock this morning. SOUTH AMERICA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The peace and harmony which have been recently re established between the republics of New Granada and Ecuador aro threatened to be again interrupted, through the intrigues of the Spanish Government, who are con- niving at, if not encouraging, General Flores, ex-Presi dent of the latter state, in fitting out an expedition for the purpose, ostensibly, of placing him again in the Pre sident's chair, but suspicions attach to the undertaking of Spain entertaining some idea of asserting her claim, and again establishing her dominion over it : if she succeeds in that, she will very shortly follow up her views by seizing on New Granada and Venezuela. It is very evident that General Flores must have some underhand support, and a supply of the sinews of war from some unknown quarter. In the Cortes, the Minister of War, in reply to a question put by a Deputy, asserted that the Spanish Go vernment had nothing to do with General Flores's ex pedition ; but after M. Isturitz's assertion with regard to the opposition of our Government to the marriage of the Queen, who can put any faith in any assertions of the Spanish Ministry ? At all events the only convin cing proof they can give of not being concerned in it, is to put a stop to it, and order General Flores out of the kingdom. Reports are very rife that tho above General has agents lin Ireland to raise recruits for him, under the cloak of hiring them as agricultural labourers, but it is to be hoped the Irish peasants, notwithstanding their present destitute state, will not be the dupes of General Flores's agents, and plunge themselves into still greater difficulties, danger, and destitution. The object of general Flores, if attained, will plunge all the South American Republics into the greatest anar chy and confusion —renewing those horrid scenes of bloodshed and butchery, which have been so recently put an end to—and annihilate the good understanding and mutual confidence now restored amongst them. Besides, should that part of South America be again plunged into the gulph of civil war, it will prove highly injurious to the commerce and shipping of all European States, and likewise of the :United States of North America, consequently it becomes the duty of their re spective Governments to do all in their power to frustrate the views of an adventurer, and to undeceive the Go vernment of Spain, by showing that they are not indiffer ent to the we ll-b e i ng of her c i-d evant colonies, but now independent Republics.

ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR B CYYS.—L as' night a quarterly general Court of the Governors of thi: inititution, was held at the offices of the Secretary, Mr. Thisselton, No. 7, Bloomsbury-place, Bloomsbury, for the purpose of electing a treasurer in the room of Sir David Pollock, senior, recently appointed Chief Justice of Bombay.

FATAL RENCONTRE.—An inquest was On Satur day resumed, and concluded at llarefield, near Uxbridge, on the body of William Norman, a steersman in a canal boat plying on the Grand Junction Canal. The deceased, it appeared, had had sonic disagreement with a man named James Carpenter, who was in the employ of the Canal Company, respecting his not having one of the l oc k s ready. A quarrel at length ensued, and they agreed to settle their differences by a pitched battle, an d retired into a field for that purpose. They fought seve ral rounds, and at length Norman fell, and on some per sons going to big assistance it was found that he was, dead. The surgeon deposed that in his opinion death had h - een occasioned by a blow or a fall, thereby causing concussion of the brain. The jury retwaied a verdict of Manslaughter against Carnenter.
