The energies of our commanders, whether naval or military, were being cramped and denuded by a pernicious and almost unprecedented parsimony. By the magnificent brevet, however, announced in the Gazette, and already published in The Sun, a multitude of preventives to emulation have been removed, many deserving offi cers have received the guerdons which they have won by their superior intelligence or their distin guished valour, by their inestimable sagacity in the council chamber or their brilliant achievements ,n the hattle-field, with the decisions recorded by their pens, or at the point of their good swords. The evil of such lamentable continuance will be forgotten now that our veterans are remunerated for its in- fliction. land it is, from her pressing and accumulative sorrows, and in preference to any of the above enume rated objects of national concern, that the eye of the reflective patriot is intently fixed, satisfied that, so long as that great artery of British power continues its present irregular action, the lustre of our fame will be tarnished, and our integral peace and pros perity incessantly endangered. The latest news from Dublin is, upon the whole, of an inspiriting character. Some occasional outrages have been committed; the officers of the Government have here and there been roughly handled, and the transmission of corn, meal, and flour, has not, in every case, been successfully or peaceably accomplished. Still, we perceive with gladness that the principle of voluntary relief is being acted upon in a very improved spirit, with signal benefit, in various parts. In Wexford the landed proprietors have taken Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S valuable hint, by purchasing and dispensing provisions to appointed vendors, who are permitted to realise a small profit. By this plan the people will not find the blessi.ig of food to be beyond their reach. In the barony of Kinalea the system of task work, and the amount of wages earned by it, is now appreciated by the labourers, who have become zealous in their employment, and contented in their minds. At a county meeting in Longford, amongst other resolutions, the chairmen of several relief committees passed the following : " That we consider that the hitherto peaceable and exemplary conduct of the people of this country is de serving of the highest praise, and entitles them to all the consideration which the Government may find it possible to grant them." This gratifying tribute to the temperate demeanour of the people, under their trying afflictions, will, we are convinced, be cheerfully recognised by the Go vernment, as it constitutes the strongest recommends .on for their co-operative aid. A cursory survey of this promotion will illustrate its importance, and afford some adequate conception of how much it was required. In the army brevet alone there are no less four hundred and ninety individual cases of advancement ; while in the navy brevet (we regret to observe the extraordinary disparity of numbers between the promotions connected with the Horse Guards and the Admiralty), we recognise two hundre•l and forty-three instances of advancement. In the Royal Artillery are enumerated sixty-three; in the Royal Engineers, thirty-one ; in the Royal Marines, twenty-five. Three individuals have been honoured with an elevation to the loftiest dignity afforded by the military profession, and in each particular have, most eminently entitled themselves to the distinction. The number of Field-31arshals of Great Britain is con sequently increased from six to nine, by the promo tion to that supreme dignity of the Alarqu:s of AN GLESEY, Of Sir GEORGE NUGENT, 7.ncl of General THOMAS GROSVENOR. The services of the Master• General of the Ordnance require for their recog- The proceedings at the Repeal Association on Monday were neither lengthy nor very impor tant. Mr. O'CONNELL made a short speech. Ile fairly enough covered the " Young Ireland" party with his powerful ridicule. Their announcement that the Nation newspaper was to be the sole pivot of their organisation naturally led the Liberator to lie somewhat facetious : nition none of the lustre of panegyric ; they are intimately associated with those of our second MARL BOROUGH, the Duke of WELLINGTON, they are in scribed upon those pages of history which have been written in characters of glory now almost half a century bygone. - , In reference to the claims of Field- Marshal Sir GEORGE NUGENT we can only e xpress our sorrow that such claims were not more readily confessed, and that a veteran who has been unre mittingly employed during so considerable a portion of the seventy-three years which have elapsed since the July of 1773, should only be rewarded thus at the venerable age of ninety. It is sufficiently re markable to be henceforth remembered that an emi nent soldier, engaged in the first American war, namely from 1777 until its conclusion in 1783, should have been nominated Field-Marshal in 1846. The re maining officer in this triumvirate is Field-Marshal THOMAS GROSVENOR, Colonel of the 65th Foot, who, by a career of industry, courage, perseverance, and enterprise, from his first entrance into the profession in 1779, has nobly won his baton. We could gladly enter into an elaborate analysis of the catalogue of this splendid brevet, did not its very copiousness pre • elude us from the endeavour. It will, however, be re:narked with exultation by all who are patriotically interested in the recognition of valour and self forgetfulness, evidenced in upholding the national cause, that the hero of Aliwal, Sir HARRY SMITH, has been created a Mejor-General ; that the hero of Acre and the Tagus, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, has been created a Rear-A diniral ; that the hero of Navarino, Sir EDWARD CODRING TON, has been created Admiral of the lied. Such nominations are essentially worthy of this auspicious occasion : without the names of those illustrious public servants, the brevet would have been a gigantic blunder, amounting to an absulute defiance of the national will. It would be sorry, if not actually impossible, to deny the inadequate boon of rank to a NAPIER, a SMITH, and a CODRINGTON. Nevertheless, while we congratulate the naval and military services upon this substantial acknowledg ment of the merits of some amongst their most dis tinguished and deserving officers, we cannot but lament the peculiar exclusiveness of these inter mittent brevets. We cannot but lament that while the wearers of the epaulet and aiguilette receive the recompense of their exertions for the national welfare and preservation, the wielders of the bayonet and the hanger should remain unrewarded for their equally ar duous labours for the promotion of the same object. While emulation is excited in the mess-room, it should not be, as it is wholly denied to the barrack-yard. While the interests of the superior officer are sedulously cherished, those of the non-commissioned officer, of the private, and of the common sailor, should not be entirely forgotten. There is something intensely injudicious in this pertinacious retention of stimulants and rewards from the bulk of our soldiers and seamen. Such frequent niggardliness is among the most egregious blemishes of our system ; it warps the in tellect, it fritters away the energy, it quells the am bition, it confirms the evil passions and withers the noblest aspirations of our gallant men. We are desirous of some extensive and decisive reform in these particulars, not so much with the expectation of turning a sailor "before the mast" into a boatswain, and subsequently into a NELSON or a PELLEW ; not so much with an anxiety to behold a drummer metamorphosed into a sergeant, and afterwards into a NAPOLEON or a FREDERICK, as to elevate the general character of our defenders, to instil into their hearts a persuasion that their country will not prove ungrateful to those who uphold her glory or maintain her integrity, however humble they may be in posi tion : that industry, and prowess, and activity, and honesty, and sagacity, and perseverance, will enable any one, without the adventitious aids of interest or blood, to attain the very loftiest rank : that a Government endeavours to follow the divine example of OMNIPOTENCE by caring for the little as well as the great ; that, as in the regard of the latter a sparrow and an emperor demand their full pro portion of attention, so with the former the colonel and the drummer, the admiral and the ship-boy, will receive a proportionate amount of regard. With this reformation in the services, the naval and military professions would be materially elevated, and the brevets would be just as well as generous. " What valiant and gallant heroes they were, that, refusing to be led by such a coward as O'Connell, who • would not fight the horse, foot, and artillery of England, will txpen , l all their bravery in the eolumni of a news paper ?—(Laughter.) What a phalanx, to be sure ! (Continued laughter.) He wondered who w'es the brigadier. general. But it was to be a literary phalanx after all. They were to use quills instead of pikes, and pencils instead of bayonets.—(lloars of laughter.)" Mr. O'CONNELL took occasion to warn the people against the lamentable consequences that would re sult if they did not refrain from impeding the transit of provisions to their several destination , , and like wise from molesting the officers of the Board of Works. Everything will turn for better or for worse, according to the adoption or neglect on the part of the people of this important advice. We hope and believe it will be generally complied with. Mr. O'CoNxELL was about to attend a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, with the view of inducing them to concur in a more liberal policy. This in directly smacks of an approval of Lord J. RUSSELL'S counsel, embodied in the recent letter to the Duke of LEINSTEE, which we noticed at length a few days We trust Mr. O'CONNELL will succeed in his object. since. A circular prepared by a committee of tenant farmers in the county of Antrim, addressed to the landlords of that county, has been widely distributed. Both in style and matter it is far beyond what could be looked for from the class of persons from whom it has emanated. It presents a fair and temperate view of their condition, and states the indulgence they hope for from those whose estates they cultivate ; their demands appear to be reasonable, and many land owners have already made voluntary reductions full equivalent to the expectations of their tenantry. Generally speaking, the relationship between land lord and tenant in Ulster is placed on a sounder and better footing than in any other part of Ireland. The proprietors of the soil are less encumbered by debts or charges affecting their properties, a much larger proportion of the rental of the county remains in their pockets, and is applicable to their own purposes than in the southern or western counties. The gentry are more provident, and look forward with greater prudence to the future ; they are not compelled, from their own necessities, to extort the utmost farthing that can be wrung from the occupiers, leaving barely sufficient to those by whose labour the land is cultivated to support a pre carious existence. They are well aware that the real interest of the landlord is closely connected with, and cannot be separated from, that of the tenant, and that by letting their lands at a fair and reasonable rate, and holding out encouragement to the improving tenant, although their nominal rent-roll may be lower, they obtain a larger amount of payment from the same quantity of land than others who act on a different and more objectionable principle. Above all, they concede what is called " the tenant right," the effects of which have proved most beneficial wherever it has been brought into operation. In speaking of this right the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission says :—" Under the influence of this custom the tenant claims, and generally exercises, a right to dis pose of his holding for a valuable consideration, although he may himself be a tenant-at-will, and although he may have expended nothing in permanent improvements; that sums equal to ten, twelve, or fifteen years' purchase upon the rents are commonly given for the tenant right, and this not only where the rent is considered low, hut where it is fully equal to the value." And when alluding to its effects, the Commissioners add :—"Anomalous as this custom is, if considered with reference to all ordinary notions of property, it must be admitted that the district in which it prevails has thriven and improved in compa rison with other parts of the country." This valuable testimony establishes a fact that will little surprise any one accustomed to think profoundly, or to rea son correctly. A feeling of proprietorship has arisen in the minds of the tenants ; they know that they will not be driven from their tenements so long as they perform their parts of their contract with the proprietors ; that any improvements they may effect by their own industry will not have the effect of de priving them o►f the possession, or of enhancing the rent of their farms ; that if they should desire to leave the locality, they will obtain, in the shape of a higher price for " the good will," full compensation for their expendi ture of labour or capital. Hence a motive for exer tion and industry is supplied : they know that they will receive a fair return either in the length and cer tainty of their tenure, or in an equivalent payment on quitting their farms. Agrarian outrages—the most fertile source of riot and disturbance—are un known in those favoured districts, and the landlord is, except under extraordinary circumstances, certain to receive the full amount the tenant has contracted to pay ; and the occupier, whose own rights are fully recognised, learns to respect those of the owner. The document to which we have adverted acknow ledges the duty of the tenant, as a plain matter of justice between man and man, to pay the full amount of his contract, and that the landlord is entitled to enforce the same, but they intimate that as their present position is not only deeply distressing, but altogether new, they require to be treated with on a principle of indulgent liberality corresponding with their novel and perilous position. They state that their potatoes are gone, their oats have fallen short of their expectations, and that, while some of their number may have a small sur plus of agricultural produce to dispose of, many must purchase largely in a dear market for the support of their families, in addition to consuming the entire produce of their holdings ; that linen, the chief article of their manufacture, is in a most depressed state, and that, although pork and butter sell freely at remu nerative prices, they cannot realise the advan tages, the food for swine being wholly lost, and the change of diet rendered necessary by the potato failure obliging them to appropriate a larger portion of the produce of their dairies to household purposes than heretofore, they feelingly , ask whether, under such circumstances, their land lords will compel them to sell their cows, or part with the only portion of bread that remains for the sup port of their families, in order to satisfy their rents. Justice, they know, would sanction it, but mercy in terposes and forbids the cruelty; they implore that there shall be no act of severity exhibited towards them during the arduous trials they are called on to LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1846, Sanguine as all those individuals were who formed any expectations respecting the military and naval brevet in honour of the fifth anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, their anticipations have been fully realised. Throughout both the distinguished services the promotions have been distributed with munificence and discrimination. Many of our most illustrious veterans have at length received the recompense to which they have been so long entitled either by extraordinary exhibitions of personal prowess, by adroit diplomacy, or by con tinual and active employment. The protracted re servation of this recompense has for a considerable period been matter of astonishment, and has origi nated numerous heartburnings. Tardy, however, as this compensation noquesti n ly is, the oversight is now virtually acknowledged, and the ingratitude of such intolerabl e d uration is obli terated by a g enerous and extensive advancement. In consequence postponement of' this proceeding the of th e different ranks, but especially those o f th e highe s t become liable to the indonveniencee fer, em bracing an unnecessary numb er of officers. So enormous was this obstacle to adva ncement in ; either profession, that hope became extinguished even in the most sanguine temperaments, that emu lation was almost entirely destroyed, and that senti ments of apathy, and in some instances, of absolute disgust, began to interfere with the incitements to naval and military enterprise. Such were the natural but grievous consequences of this impolitic apathy in the Legislature. By denying the reasonable oppor- Never had any Government more arduous or more serious duties to attend to than the present. Were Ire land the only portion of territoryto which their functions were limited, in the place of being, as they ire, ex tended over immense tracts of earth, peopled with millions upon millions, where British dominion pre vails in every, quarter of the globe, none could deny that the state of Ireland is sufficient to tax the ener gies of the Executive to the uttermost, or the grave responsibility inseparable from their Minis terial position. Lord Livintroon once said no one could easily conceive the perpetual anxiety incidental to the Premiership of England, or with what feelings the chief servant of the Crown contem plated the delivery of each day's post, by which the actual position of her great and vast dependencies in either hemisphere was to be ascertained and consi dered. Neither is it facile to depict the serious sen timents with which Lord JOHN RUSSELL must await in these days the receipt of each morning's intelli gence from the other side of St. George's Channel. Threatened as Ireland has been to be scourged in every part with destitution, disease, pestilence, and famine, aware that these frightful evils are still immi nent, that victims of starvation have already swelled the tables of mortality, and that a patient and endur ing people have already, in some instances, from actual despair, been tempted to burst the bonds of social order, the mind of our Prime Minister must be precluded from the enjoyment of repose. The events which are passing on the great Transatlantic conti nent, where a reckless spirit of territorial aggrandise ment pervades the councils and governs the operations of a grasping republic—the hasty, unbecoming, and unscrupulous diplomacy recently suffered to creep in and predominate in the Cabinet of Madrid, subversive of an international cordiality between England and Prance, the maintenance of which has been hitherto regarded as the best guarantee for the p reservation of peace in Europ e —th e state of Portugal, where the throne is shaken, and revolution is pursuing her almost ephemeral, yet ominous gambols,—these, and the like, must, in turns, be diurnally demanding the vigilant attention of our statesmen. Yet upon Ire- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER l2 , 1816, encounter, anti faithfully promise that on their part there shall be no combination against landlords—no conspiracies in opposition to the payment of rent. They state that they are destitute of means but possess willing minds, and on that ground alone do they crave a liberal indulgence ; and they earnestly pray that in good faith, mutual attachment, and undiminished confidence, their landlords may affectionately meet them in a spirit of generous and liberal compromise. They propose to make a prompt effort to pay one-half the gale of rent now due, and ask that the landlords shall freely forgive the remainder, and they state that they ask the re mainder to be forgiven, for they are justly averse to the accumulation of a debt in the shape of arrears, which, while they live, they have no prospect of pay ing ; it is only calculated to cramp their energies and to sink them into utter despondency. Such an appeal cannot be disregarded ; it carries with it a conviction of its justice and expediency. We trust that the landlords of Antrim may respond to it in a similar spirit, and that mutual concessions will more closely cement the ties between them, and increase the feelings of mutual regard and respect that should exist between landlords and tenants. Letters from St. Petersburgh state that the long talked-of project of forming a railroad from that capital to i3allisbport, on the Baltic, is about to be carried into execution by a company formed at St. Petersburgh. The Government guarantees to the company 41 per cent. on the capital actually expended in its completion. The same company has also ob• tained an authorisation to lay a railroad between Cronstarit and St. Petersburgb, with a branch to Moscow. ment, which transiently deprives the Royal Family of an ugent ho has often proved useful in their communica tions with foreign Powers, may be of some importance. It shows, at least, how little family alliances can be de pended upon. King Leopold had, for fifteen years, been wholly devoted to his wife's family ; the failue of a mar riage for one of his nephews, and the disappointment it has caused, have sufficed to make disaffection and bit terness succeed to kind feelings, and to make him view with regret the good luck that has befallen his brother in law."- . _ The sale of gun-cotton in Bavaria has been pro hibited by the Government, on the ground that as it cannot by its appearance be distinguished from ordi nary cotton its sale may give rise to accidents. According to the Post AmptGazette of Frankfort, it is intended to form a general Italian Customs Union. A grand banquet was given on the 30th t , ) the celebrated RONGE at Brunswick, at which 180 guests were present. Many toasts were given, and among them one to Pope Pius IX., proposed by Pastor 13EsTE, an orthodox Protestant. In the evening RoNGE was present at the burgher assembly, where he delivered a discourse in which he traced the deve lopment of German Catholicism in Silesia. He was loudly applauded. The galleries were filled with ladies. • dew Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. _ _ _ " Several Spaniards," says the Constitutionnel, " resident in Paris, joined with the suite of their Am bassador in congratulating the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER. They saluted the Prince in the usual manner, but to the Princess they kneeled, and kissed her hand, as presumptive heiress to the throDe." It is said that the Duke and Duchess of MONT PRISSIER will reside at Vincennes, the former resi dence of the Duke, where apartments have been fitted up for the Duchess, and where they are to have their reg ular fours de reception. According to the Courrier Francais, the Chambers will be convoked for the 15th December, instead of the 12th January, the day originally fixed by the royal ordonnance. The Journal des Debats confirms the announce ment of the approaching marriage of the Duke of BORDEAUX with a Princess of Modena. It says— " It appears certain that the Augsburgh Gazelle's news of the Duke de Bordeaux's marriage with a sister of the reigning Duke of Modena is true. The marriage w a s to have been solemnized on the sth inst. The Princess's father was the only Sovereign in Europe who would not acknowledge the revolution of:;1830. Her fortune is estimated at 100.000,000 of francs, or four millions ster ling. The Princess is four scars older than the Duke, who is in his twenty-sixth year." On the evening of the 2d inst.. seventy Carlist refugees passed through Narbonne on their way to Spain. Seventeen of their number, including a Lieutenant-Colonel, a Commandant, and some in ferior officers, were ea-Jfured by the French authori ties.. Forty-seven more Cariist refugees have been No authentic intelligence had been received fi cm Portugal, ;Although there were many alarming rumours on the subject of Portuguese atrairs current in Madrid. It is again confidently affirmed that one of the first measures proposed to the new Cortes will be a revision of the tariff. This w ill be done, it is for the purpoec of endeavouring to conciliate England after _ the affront put upon her by the Montpens:er marriage. It cannot be denied but that a relaxation of the protective and prohibitory system of tariffs adopted in Spain would be of advantage both to Spain and to England. It was reported that the KING of the FRENCH was about to create MuNoz a French Duke at the request of Queen CIIRISTINA. It is im possible, however, to attach any credit to a rumour so absurd.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. Filly-four vessels, laden with 184,000 hntolitres of wheat from the Black Sea, Turkey, Egypt, and Italy, have entered the port of Marseilles. Only ten of these vessels are French, and they have come from Italy. The lieforme says— " The arrival of the above wheat has not produced even a transient fall in the southern markets. The rise continues in evtry part of France without any exception. In the radius of supply of Paris, the movement was, yesterday and the day before, more sudden and rapid titan cou!d have bet n expectecl, and the trade themselves have 1);:en alf:rmcd at it. Since the harvest so decided an increase had not been witnessed. It amounts, every wlyre, to between one and two francs per hectolitre. Hitherto the rise had been constant, hut its progress was marked by increases of only 50 to 60 centimes. The rnest a!arming symptom is the extreme eagerness evinced by all parties at this moment ; and, after the sowing has taken place, to buy grain, notwithstanding such high price. This eagerness, especially on the part of the trac., proves that no decline of prices is anticipated. Scarcely do the markets last half an hour, so active the purchasers are. On some points all that has been offered has been bought up in less than ten minutes" It was reported on the Bourse on Monday that the Government had received unpleasant news from Portugal. Detachments of the sth, 16th, and 56th Regiments of the line, and from the 12th Light Infantry, are on the point of being embarked at Port Vendres for Africa ; and detachments from the 2d and 7th Regi ments of Artillery are on their march for the same The absence of the Marquis of NORMANEY is tbe subject of comment in almost all of them eccept the Journal des Debuts, the organ of the Ministry. The Presse, the organ of the Court, says— " Some of the journals have commented on the ab sence of Lord Noriminhy from the reception of the di plomatic body at the Tuileries. It appears to us that this absence might have been foreseen, and that it adds nothing to the manifestations of displeasure and bad feeling which the affair of the marriage has furnished England an occasion to display. We say, in addition, that if this absence of the English Ambassador must ab solutely be considered as a new protest of the Govern ment which he represents, it must be admitted, on the other hand, that the presence of the Ambassadors of all the other powers is a very significant adhesion, which ought to remove the doubts that acme persons are trying to disseminate as to the sentiments manifested on this occasion by the continental powers. All were represented at this reception by their Ministers now present at Paris, or by their Councillors or Secretaries of Embassy. The Commerce was wrong yesterday in an nouncing that the Belgian Ambassador had imitated the English one—the Prince de Live was present at the reception. This last assertion of the Presse is untrue, and considering the source from which the article ema nates, those who directed it to be penned must have been perfectly aware that it was untrue at the time. " The Prince DE LIGNE," says Galignani's Messenger, " is absent from his post en cove, and the KING of the BELGIANS is at this moment represented here by Count RoGIER, as chargé d'affaires. M. RoGIER also was absent from the public reception on Saturday but we hear that he is to have a private reception." This little incident will give some idea of the reck less disregard for truth which has characterised the organs of the Tuileries throughout the whole of the controversy on the subject of the Montpensier marriage. As another instance, we may mention the direct con tradiction given by the Portefeuille, the organ of the Foreign Minister, to the malicious assertion of the Presse, that the Marquis of NORMANDY had insisted on having both sides of M. GutzoT's folding-doors opened to him when he recently waited on that Minister. The organs of the Château seem to adopt in its entirety the maxim of RICHELIEU, that there should be no hesitation in asserting that which is false, although take dpilsaccoev, the ery falsehoodof the falsehood d h must ave take place within twenty -four hours, provided before such discovery k produced the effect desired. The Siecle has the fol lowing observations on the absence of the Marquis of NORMANDY "It appears to us that an excessive importance ought not to be attached to incidents of this nature. England is no more resolved on an open rupture than the northern powers on an intimate alliance with France.

The absence of the Britannic Ambassador has a double signification—it means, first of all, that England understands the treaty of - Utrecht differently from France; and, secondly, that the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier with the Infanta has been contrary to verbal conventions passed at the Château d'Eu. On the first point there are two decisive answers to the arguments of England. Austria, Prussia, and Holland do not attach to the reciprocal renunciations of 1713 the same interpretation as the English Foreign-office. Russia ranges itself with the opinion of these powers. Here, then, is England alone against all the Governments that signed the treaty or adhered to it. It is true that the Northern :powers refer to the pragmatic sanction of Philip V., and pretend that the crown of Spain cannot counapeentolstahbeelfleam, hasale line until after the males in all the branches a re ext i nct . B ut England, in recognising g recognised the Infanta Lui sa . There is, therefore,nothtihnge rightss serious of butus the arguments drawn from the conventions of the Châ teau d'Eu; and this is only a question of procedure be tween the two Courts and the two Cabinets, the dignity of the two nations remaining perfectly intact and foreign to this discussion, more dynastic and personal than po litical. As to the absence of the Belgian Ambassador, it proves that King Leopold does not take part against his own family, which has been wounded in its interests and self-love. But it must not be inferred that the King of the Belgians renounces the part of mediator attributed to him by the letters of the English correspondents. We think, on the contrary, that if the son-in-law of King Louis Philippe places himself apart at present, it is because his remaining away can alone offer a pledge of impartiality to the two Cabinets. When any one de sires to act as arbitrator or conciliator the way to begin is not to offer an opinion in one sense or the other. If, however, the statement which appears in La Semaine, a Sunday paper, can be relied on, King LEOPOLD, far from consenting to act as mediator be tweensthe French and English Governments, does not dissemble his own strong disapprobation of the Montpensier marriage. A few days ago, at St. Cloud, and in his father-in-law's very drawing-room, he maintained, before several political men, that the marriage was manifestly contrary to the spirit and text of the treaty of Utrecht. After detailing his arguments, the Semaine sa3s— " We record Leopold's opinion and conversfttien, for the authenticity of which we can vouch, sully because it reveals all the disagreement the Duke de Montpen slur's marriage has produced between the King of the Belgians and the King of the French.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From Tie Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but the quotations of all descriptions remained without alteration. Sales 3,603 bales, including 500 American for exportation, 00 Egyptian realized 7d. to 7 d., 350 Surat 4d. to 4id., and 2,500 American at sd. told. per lb. Shares and Scrip, in general, appear to have been steadily maintained, and with a moderate business doing. The merchants of Antwerp, according to advices re ceived thence, are more anxious than ever to establish a line of packet ships between their flourishing pnrt and New York, but have been rather thrown in the back ground by the prior movement of the Bremen traders, , who seem to have obtained some special privileges. If Antwerp can support am independent line of sailing vessels, undoubtedly there would be great faci lities afforded, not only to her own, but like wise to the German manufacturers, in making shipments across the Atlantic, and an extension of the American trade would be the result, though we have no fear of mere rivalry in the matter of navi gation, the London and Liverpool liners surpassing in speed and general capability any merchant vessels that ever ploughed the deep, and to a good extent owned by British merchants. The English funds are to-day again firm, but with the same characteristic feature—an entire ab.;.ence of specu lation. The general money business has been rather less active than yesterday, but still the public exhibit more confidence than the dealers. Consols have been 94i for present transfer, and are nominally the same fur time. Exchequer-bills remain at lls. to 14s. premium. Bank Stock is worth 2051, and India Stock has been 2551 to 257. The New Three-and-a-quarter per Cet:ts. are 951 1. The Foreign house is very dull. Mexican Bonds have been 22k, and Brazilian 84i to 844. Spanish and Portu guese Stock have not been dealt in. The former are about 37i for the Three per Cents., and the latter 38 for the Four per Cents. Dutch Two-and-a. Half per Cents. have realised 591 to it. For Railway Shares the market is quieter, and upon the whole less buoyant. Manchester and Leeds, how ever, have improved a little, Midland have touched 134, but are now down to 1321, North Stafford hits° been at 3 to 3/1 premium, Northern of France Shares have been as low as 10 or 5 premium.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 9.—The Stadt Courant announces that the ratifications of the commercial treaties concluded on the 13th of September last, between the Netherlands and Russia, were exchanged on the 30th of October at St. Petersburgh. If we may believe a journal of this town, the plans and other documents, relative to the construc tion of a sea-port at Scheveningen, have been laid before the administration of the Hague. It is affirmed that the question has been propostd ►what sum the town of Hague will contribute to the expense which the construction of this port will require. We have already mentioned the heroic conduct of some Dutch sailors on the occasion of the shipwreck of the English ship, the Helen, Captain Orfour. We are now informed that besides the 101. sterling granted by Lloyd's, the town of Yarmouth has sent, through the English Consul at Rotterdam, the sum of 501. sterling, which has been distributed among the four Dutch sailors who saved the whole crew of the Helen. THE lIAGuE, Nov. 6.—The deputies of the persons concerned in the fisheries have lately presented an ad dress of thanks to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of Finance, and Colonies, for the serious interest which (as the address says) was manifested by these gentlemen in the treaty with Belgium, respecting the national fishe ries. The deputies affirm that the changes made in the treaty, in the article respecting the fisheries, have already had a favourable effect, and premise to be yet more ad vantageous in future. MAESTRICHT, Nov. s.—Reports have been for dome time in circulation here, respecting the station of the railway from Maestricht to Aix-la-Chapelle, which re presented the intended sites as very disadvantageous to the general interests of the trade. In consequence, several inhabitants have got up an address to his N ajesty, in which they petition him to be so good as to refuse his assent t 3 the plan already submitted to him for the erec tion of the said station, and to be pleased to order, that instead of placing this station without the city, it may be t rected within the walls. THE HAGUE, Nov. 9.—According to a letter from Batavia of the 27th of August, all the Dutch ships then in the road which were still disengaged, had been freighted by the factory of the Netherlands Commercial Company, for the purpose of being laden with sugar for Cowes, Isle of Wight. VIENNA, Nov. I.—The joy of the public at the im provement of the health of the Archduke Palatine was clouded by the news of his relapse. The Archduke John immediately went to Olen ; but an express has this moment arrived with the satisfactory intelligence that the state of the venerable patient is so much improved that there is no further cause for alarm. EGER, OCT. 30.—This morning, at nine o'clozk, the inhabitants were alarmed by a report resembling thunder, accompanied by shaking of the houses and breaking of the windows. The powder magazine, near the city, had been blown up. One of the officers of cur garrison, who had the superintendence of the powder magazine, is said to have gone into it this morning, and had scarcely shut the door behind him, when the whole building was blown up. Bricks, beams, and even iron doors, were scattered to a distance of above 300 feet. The dead body of the unf,,rtunate officer was found, dreadfully mutilated, at the distance of eighty paces, whereas the soldier on duty, with his sentry-box, was scarcely touched. VIENNA, Nov. 3.—The accounts just received from Ofen, respecting the Archduke Palatine, are again un favourable. Archduke John is gone to Ofen; part of the attendants of the Archduke Stephen, who had already arrived here, have returned to Ofen. This morning his Highness the reigning Duke of Nassau left this city. RAILWAYS. The Northern Gloggentz Venice Milan . lO6l Leghorn rest h . . Our exchange was very much agitated to-day, and the prices which could not be ,kept up yesterday, fell still lower today, and in spite of many efforts to keep up the shares in the railways, they fell considerably. The lowest price of the Northern Railway was 1611, and that of Venice Milan 1041. The prospect is in general very gloomy, and under such circumstances the discouragement increases. Notwith standing this money was not scarce , Allyeineine Zeituny, Nov, 6. INDISPOSITION OF TIIS DUKE OF CAMIMIDat.— We regret to learn that in consequence of the indisposi tion of the Duke of Cembridge, arising from a severe cold, his Royal Highness was unable to accompany the Duchess of Cambridge and the Grand Duke and Duchess of Meeklenberg-Strelitz to Windsor, on Mon day, to be present at the banquet given by her Majesty to celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Wales. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse, accom panied by Lord Denbigh, and a distinguished party of friends, visited the Royal Polytechnic Institution yes terday, aid amused themselves for a considerable period with the various interesting models, the dissolving views and diving bell ; this elicited considerable approbation from the royal party. LORD FIFE.—It is currently reported that the Earl of Fife is about to become the purchaser of that part of the Earl of Seafield's estate situated in and near the town of Banff, including the Castle and approximating Duff House. The Nt.ble Earl has now been pasting some years in retirement, and has quite redeemed the encumbrances on his estate, and now enjoys a clear in come of 7,0001. per annum.
