Pitatitin I. -Snit LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1846, TIIE in comparison with the advantages conferred upon our sea service. It is not, however, so much upon the proportionate disfavour shown to our salt-water defenders as upon the particular and es sential disproportion of the promotions in that all important and noble service, that we feel ourselves compelled to express so much dissatisfaction. Whenever the Executive deem it advisable to encourage our protective forces with an extraordi nary brevet promotion, it would be more in accord ance with justice, and we do believe more consonant with the national interest, if those only were advanced in rank who had merited such promotion by their protracted and meritorious services, by their distin guished integrity, intelligence, and prowess, or by some signal achievement for the glory or emolu ment of the empire. Those only should be selected who would come under one or other of the foregoing category of qualifications. The veteran sailor should be recompensed for his long employment, while those stripplinga who are at present favoured with a precocious elevation, simply because of the accidental antiquity of their blood, should be simply afforded the opportunities of realising their own promotion by their personal merits. Unfortunately the very reverse principle ap pears to be the one by which the Executive has hitherto been invariably actuated. Instead of regarding length of service, they pay supreme deference to length of genealogy ; instead of considering the age of the different officers and the purity of their professional conduct, they pay especial attention to the age and purity of their blood ; in stead of rewarding a man for the personal excellences which are attributable to himself, they re ward him for the adventitious advantages of being con nected with the aristocracy, for which 'Advantages he is in no possible degree accountable. In consequence of this monstrous system, we occasionally, and too frequently, hear of venerable and most deserving officers dying in a state of impoverishment and ne glect, after having filled some subordinate post in the navy for half a century, or thereabouts. The deplorable instances of the two lieutenants GREEN who, but a very few days ago, died in the vicinity of Portsmouth, and with the melancholy cir cumstances of whose careers and decease the readers of The Sun are already acquainted, would have been amply sufficient, one would have expected, to have prevented the recurrence of similar injustice. One of these unfortunate, and most meritorious officers dated his lieutenant's commission as far back as 1806, while the other was only three years later. If we remember these calamitous facts, and remember, moreover, that there ars some thing more than two thousand five hundred lieu tenants in the navy, and that out of that enormous body only eighty have been elevated to corn manderships in the recent brevet, we shall immediately recognise the impolicy and—we cannot but say it—the intolerable cruelty of the circum stance, that amongst those eighty promoted lieutenants there are young men whose commissions are as re cent as 1841, and whose only advantages are those of a fortuitous nature, namely, the antiquity of their family and the political influence of their connexions. In speaking thus we are by no means attaching any individual blame to Lord AUCKLAND and his col leagues ; on the contrary, we are persuaded of the per fect integrity of their motives and of their solicitude for the prosperity of the profession. But we are inveigh ing upon an abuse which has unhappily been in existence during a greater number of years than we have the heart to calculate. It is such an abuse that urgently clamours for its removal, and such an abuse that we can never tire of reprobating. Besides this " crying evil" there is another for the destruction of which we have long yearned. We have long yearned for the removal of all the contin gent evils of the execrable system of impressment for the navy. That system itself is unquestionably but little practised now-a-days. Its character is so directly opposed to the liberal nature of our constitu tion, that it has long been lapsing into disuse from the universal execration with which it is regarded. Nevertheless, there may still be enumerated among our sailors a multitude of the victims of im pressment men who have been torn from their families and their ordinary occupations by violence ; who . have had a laborious career thrust upon them, contrary to their inclinations ; who, notwith standing all this rigorous treatment, have laboured for years in our men-of-war and our frigates, with un common honesty, with distinguished seal, and some times with a surprising intelligence, but who, neverthe less, have received more niggardly wages than those sea men' who are engaged in the merchant service, and, beyond all, have no hope of release or promotion. Are these men punished thus, forsooth, because of their excellent behaviour, and because of their pro tracted toil for their country ? Is it judicious, is it generous, is it, we ask, barely honest, that they should be compelled to expend the vigour of their youth and the lustihood of their prime for a hopeless debasement and a miserable pittance ? Are their promotions withheld because of their lack of educa tion? Then, say we, educate them, in common jus tice. You have driven them into an onerous and laborious profession, give them, in Heaven's name, a chance of gaining a footing in it, and of acquiring something beyond a mere subsistence. These abuses of the naval service are so grievous in their character as to demand a generous and compre hensive reformation. The Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland will now become a really useful and efficient body, com petent to meet and provide for the emergencies of their native land, and to take the part becoming an association which has for its president a Nobleman of the most exalted rank, of well-approved patriotism, and of wide and extensive domains, and which com prises amongst its members the most active, intelli gent, and influential of the nobility, gentry, and landed proprietors connected with our sister island. From such a body much might be expected ; there is no part or district throughout the kingdom which has not some person interested in its prosperity, acquainted with its wants, and competent to suggest steps which might be beneficially adopted for its improvement, or the relief of its poorer in habitants, to represent it in the society. The great Irish want—a central society, so constituted, and willing to take into consi deration anything calculated to promote the public welfare, to guard the landed interests, and to do every thing within their power to relieve and mitigate the existing distress in the manner least burdensome to the country—will now be supplied. The society may for the future be termed the National Committee of Ireland ; they will be competent to discharge all the functions of that committee whose formation we have so warmly advocated ; and in the extended ob jects for which the society is now available, and its vastly increased utility, we foresee the greatest bene fits for Ireland and the Irish. Although we have acknowledged the comparative multiplicity of the promotions in the late brevet, we have nevertheless felt ourselves compelled to qualify our gratulations, in consequence of the many blunders both of commission and omission which are observable in their distribution. Granted that the satisfaction of all parties on the occasion of such an advancement is a thing almost morally impossible; granted that no mat ter how judiciously the selection might have been made, there would have inevitably been some malcontents ; granted that the Executive are surrounded on such an occasion by difficulties so numberless, that mode rate oversights must thereby be regarded as in some measure accompanied by an irresistible palliation. We are prepared to make all reasonable allowances for those who are so difficultly, and we may even say delicately, situated. We cannot, however, remain indifferent to any grievous omissions in a brevet of this description —a brevet so long postponed, and so tardily granted—we cannot remain indifferent to any particulars calculated to prove in a remarkable degree detrimental to the interests of the people, and pre serve silence upon such particulars merely upon a punctiliou s and complimentary consideration. We are ready to confess, and indeed h ave a l rea d y con fessed, th a t in numerous instances these rec en t pro motions h ave b een characterised and munifice nce. rtel Neve he by thei r lib era li ty of ss, it ca nno t b e over looked that the disparity the adva ncement in the two profession s h as b een of a invidiou s an d 1 0 0 almost of an unpre ce d ented kind. already commented i n our previous s n observations, this we ha ve have remarked, that w hil e t h e military brevet We braces a catalogue of very nearly five hundred inrndi-- viduals, the naval brevet scarcely numbers two hundred Intd,fifty—so that the army is about doubly benefited The Agricultural Society of Ireland owes its origin to the exertions of the late Alderman PETER PURCELL. That intelligent gentleman understood the great advantages to be derived from the exertions of a body who should make it their especial duty to point out means by which the lands of the country might be brought into improved cultivation, and greater attention might be paid to the breeding of cattle, and a better system of agricul ture. In order to obtain the general co-operation of the Irish gentry, it was essentially necessary that any question of a political nature, or which might by a possibility originate party differences or dissensions, should carefully be avoided ; accordingly, one of the fundamental rules of the society was, " That no ques tion should be discussed at any of its meetings of a political tendency, or which should refer to any matter to be brought forward or pending in either of the Houses of Parliament." Such a rule, so stringent in its terms, and general in its operation, could not be avoided at the time of the formation of the society ; a mutual distrust was felt by gentlemen of differ ent religious and political feelings ; they could not be induced to act cordially together on any point which by a possibility could be tortured into a party question. The universality of the rule, however, prevented the possibility of any subject of a disagree able nature being intruded, and the first great point was achieved, and Irish gentlemen met on a neutral ground, where they could act together for the benefit of their c ommon country. ab r ly adhered d ra b e a r ny ed t years o,and th n e o rule infri n w g a e s m s e t r ri f ctly and 1 - of its provisions was attempted. Perhaps to 'c-ne association of men of .ionour• SUN, LONDON, S different parties thus occasioned the origin of the better and improved feeling that now exists on every side may be traced. That feeling has been further purified in the school of adversity and affliction, in which the Irish people of every class have lately been taught, and we are happy to acknowledge that almost every Irishman forms a more correct and less prejudiced opinion of his neighbour than was for merly the case. liberality, enterprise, and humanity of our Civic authorities, that the intentions of the Legislature would be faithfully and honourably sustained. The past summer, so remarkably sultry, read us a painful lesson. The number of deaths in our various crowded cities, especially in those parts of them where the supply of water was defective and the sewerage, drainage, and cleansing had been reprehensibly neglected, was fearfully above the average. In certain districts of London, owing to the cesspools and stagnant masses of filth, the pestilential fever is never absent. A period, however, arrived when it became neces sary for the society jto extend Ithe sphere of its operations. During the last session an Act of the Imperial Parliament was passed by which large sums were to be advanced, by way of loan, out of the na tional exchequer for the relief of the fearful distress occasioned by the loss of the potato crop, which were to be charged upon the real property of the country, and to be repaid, with interest, by periodical instalments. No measure could possibly more deeply affect the landed interest of the country than the Lab Dur-rate Act. The na tional prosperity was dependent on the manner in which it should be carried into operation, and the direction of the vast expenditure thereby occasioned into a proper channel, to works of a reproductive character and national utility. The very objects of the society rendered it expedient and necessary that they should discuss the measure and the authorities therein, that they should be brought forward before Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The Clamor Publico announces that, preparatory to the impending general elections, 'from eight hun dred to a thousand electors of the " Progressista" party assembled on the sth, among other orators, the Count DE LAS NAVAS addressed the meeting, which separated after appointing a " directing committee" of twenty-one, including MM. CALATRAYA, BECERRA, MADOZ, SAN MIGUEL, SERRANO, and other men of note. The most contradictory rumours as to Portuguese affairs were current in Madrid ; so contradictory that it is impossible to place reliance on any of them. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 6.—The Three per Cents. had declined to 33f for cash ; the Passives were done at 6i, and the other securities continued the same. the Legislature during the ensuing session, and for this purpose an alteration of the latter part of the funda mental rule to which we have adverted became essen- We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The private visit of the Marquis of NORMANDY to the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER is com• mented on in almost all of them. The majority re joice at it as showing that the absence of the Noble Marquis from the public reception on Saturday is no proof of any alteration in the relations between Eng land and France. The National is outrageous at the conduct of M. GUIZOT in acceding to the Marquis's offer. "If M. GuizoT had theslightest pride," says the National, " would he not have replied to Lord NOR MANRY—' You refused to pay your respects to the Infanta of SPAIN, the wife •of the Duke DE MONT PENSIER, you shall be informed hereafter when the French Princes and Princesses will decide on re ceiving you.' But no; at the first letter from the Ambassador all the doors were thrown open to him, and he is admitted into the private apartments. The application for the audience was made in the evening, and the audience was accorded the next day ! And little is wanting but that there should be displayed the heart intoxicated with joy, because the representa tive of England has thought fit to be presented to the French Princes and Princesses, who were not in Paris when he arrived there ! Ah ! this is the manner Lord PALMERSTON is held in check ! If you go on in that way, you will go far." The French Court is evidently annoyed at the manner in which it has been out-manoeuvred by Austria in the affair of the marriage of the Duke of BORDEAUX. So intent were Louis PHILIPPE and M. GuizoT on securing the inheritance of the IN FANTA for the Duke of MONTPENSIER, that they paid no attention to what was going on in Italy, and thus lost the fruita of years of incessant intriguing ; for ever since M. GuizoT came into power he has been endeavouring by every means to prevent the marriage of the Duke of BORDEAUX, as the extinction of his race would place the family of Louis PHILIPPE in the rank of legitimate Sovereigns. The following letter from Vienna, which appears in the Presse, shows how excessively sore the French Court feels on this subject:— tial. Accordingly, a special meeting of the society took place on Wednesday, the 11th inst., convened in pur suance of a requisition, " in order to take the sense of the society at large as to the propriety, under the present circumstances of the country, of suspending the 14th rule of the ',society, so far as to enable the society to express their opinions as to the profitable and productive employment of the people, the general and thorough drainage, subsoiling, and clearing of the land, and the production of food at the present crisis." His Grace the Duke of LEINSTER presided over the meeting, which was attended by Mr. O'CONNELL, and many gentlemen of the highest consideration A resolution was passed, suspending the latter part of the rule to which we have referred, to the extent mentioned in the requisition, which suspension was extended to the general meeting to be held in the spring of 1847. Two other resolutions of considerable importance were also carried. The first— That the society should form itself into a committee, to take such means as might appear advisable for ob taining accurate information respecting the extent of the benefit derived from the present mode of providing employment, and the deficiencies of the same, to report upon such amendments as were desirable, and submit to the consideration of the proper authorities, from time to time, such representations as those inquiries might supply, thus embodying the collective experience and observation of the society at large." And the second— " That the proper authorities should be impressed with the necessity of making the townlands the units of subdivisions as to assessment, in place of electoral divi sions ; and that any proprietor undertaking the amount of cess to be levied off each townland should be exonc, rated from the assessment of the baronies." The want of space prevents our alluding further to the good effects that must result from the proper carrying out of these resolutions ; but our readers will perceive how fully they are in accordance with the views we have, from time to time, put forward in our columns. From our hearts we congratulate the Agricultural Society on its extended sphere of utility, and the nation generally on the great advantages that must result therefrom. The measures carried into effect under Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration were singularly great and va ried. As we noticed at the moment of his official exit, it would be difficult to select a period in which were passed more comprehensive, sound, liberal, and useful acts of legislation than during the few years which comprised the existence of the late Government• No sooner had the sanction of Parliament been obtained to measures of imperious necessity, that brooked of no delay, than others were launched for discussion and approval, the expediency and utility whereof were immediately apparent upon their in troduction. Among not the least significant of the latter was the scheme propounded by Lord LINCOLN in relation to the health of towns. A subject of deeper interest to the community at large, but especially to the humbler ranks of society, there cannot well be mooted. The change of Government, coupled with the advanced period of the session when it occurred, necessarily dictated the post ponement of this matter. This circumstance is, however, to be regarded with favour, first, because Lord LINCOLN'S Bill, excellent in many respects, was not free from grave imperfections, next because it elicited from Lord JOHN RUSSELL the assurance, that his Government would cordially co-operate in the ensuing session in improving the sanatory condition of the people. In the meanwhile much of valuable information has been acquired, and most important statistics already brought under the public eye. A glance at these indicates the desirableness of the phy sical comforts of our fellow-creatures being speedily engendered and maintained, by some vigorous and comprehensive act of legislation. The alarming fact has been discovered, by a computation entered into by scientific and competent judges, that 136 lives in England are daily wantonly sacrificed, in consequence of the absence of proper and obvious regulations of a ) sanatory nature. Mr. HUME, M.P., remarked last week at a meet ing between himself and his constituents, that" the next Parliament was destined to effect great and salutary changes in our social system ; that education would be one great measure ; and that something was ab solutely necessary to be done in order to repress crime." There can be no doubt of the truth of this statement. Of the intrinsic importance of national education we have been the perpetual advocates ; but the acquisition of habits of cleanliness is almost the indispensable forerunner to the diffusion of mental attainments. The mind and body are intimately connected ; they act reciprocally. By a due attention to the latter, a healthy vigour is imparted to the former. We have a vast mental area to cultivate ; we must be careful so to break up and prepare the soil, that the intellectual seeds which we propose to disseminate may yield an abundant harvest. The Health of Towns' Association has just issued another report. It is one of great value ; too much attention cannot be bestowed upon it. Lord LIN COLN'S measure is criticised with ability and impar tiality. It is conceded to be most promising in ita general features. On the other hand, two objections are taken to it, which the Government, as it seems to us, would do well to remove. One is, that it is con fined to England and Wales. Scotland, Ireland, and the English capital, are not included in its pro visions. This we esteem to be a great error. Ireland, in particular, stands in the greatest need of sanatory protection s and our own metropolis, it is notorious, requires similar treatment, The other objection is, charging the Home Depart ment with the onerous duty of superintending the administration of the measure. The report analyses the multiplicity of business already entailed upon the Home Secretary's office, and renders clear that the imposition of further duties cannot be thrown upon this department of the public service without the certainty that they, or some other, must suffer from unavoidable neglect. This is a point that will, we doubt not, be well conned over when the Bill comes under Parliamentary consideration. Lord LINCOLN has recently visited Dublin, and was, we believe, much struck and pained with the sight of the wretched hovels and squalid appearance of thousands of the in habitants. We hope, therefore, that his Lordship and the Government will see good nason for con ferring upon the Irish the like boon which it is in tended to bestQw . 'upon England and Wales. The authorities of our metropolis have ever proved themselves most exemplary in the administration of their own municipal and local affairs ; insomuch that Parliament has frequently honoured the City with a special Act touching matters for which they hare made provision for the country at lare ft general measure. There are man r lothaties in the metr , 2,i, th . litan districts with sanatory :Z-guiations would and comfort prove of imriiense service,: cowards securing the health and likewise in p reven ti ng t h e prema t toss of the lives, of many of the inhabitants. Should the City desire a particular Act of Parlia ment for the objects contemplated by Lord LINCOLN'S Bill, we see no reason why it should not be cheerfully accorded; and we feel assured, from the known " Many persons at Paris," says the Presse's corre spondent, " will probably consider the Duke de Bor deaux's marriage as Prince de Metternich s work. I cannot tell you what share the Prince Chancellor may have had in the affair. Austrian diplomacy is mysterious enough to baffle better eyes than mine ; yet I think that this may be supposed with some appearance of reason. As it does not behove Austria's policy that the Duke de Bordeaux's race be extinguished, in order that revolutionary France may always be kept in check by this perpetual threat, Prince Metternich, if he has not promoted the marriage, has, at least, suffered it to be accomplished, recommending that matters be managed with the utmost discretion. If the project had trans pired, the Imperial Cabinet would have been exposed to the remonstrances of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, with which it must in some way or other have complied, in order to keep up a friendly intercourse with France by appearing to avert the Court of Modena from the projected alliance. On the contrary, the negotiation has been carried on with the utmost secresy ; and when the affair was concluded Prince Metternich got out of it in this way—he sent for M. de Flahaut, the French Ambassador here, and commu nicated to him a letter from the Duke of Modena to the Emperor of Austria, whereby the Duke notified to his Imperial Majesty his eldest sister's marriage with the ])uke de Bordeaux. Prince Metternich added that the Imperial Cabinet had known nothing whatever of the projected alliance until the moment the Duke of Mo dena's letter had reached the Emperor, who had even greatly complained to his cousin of, his not having been consulted on the subject. Such is what is repeated in our circles, where Prince Metternich's protestations are disbelieved by more than one. M. Guiaot need not, however, complain much ; he has obtained, by the Duke de Montpensier's marriage, a grand diplomatic success, which may console him for the displeasure the Duke de Bordeaux's marriage may give him." In this instance we imagine it is the French Am. bassador who has been "juggled like a nut." The Quotidienne, the Legitimist organ, thus offi cially announces the marriage of the Duke DE BORDEAUX:— " The Count de Chambord (Duke de Bordeaux) marries the Princess Marie Therese Beatrix, of Modena, Archduchess of Austria. The Princess of Modena, eldest daughter of the late Duke Franeis, was born on the 14th of July, 1817, and by her father is great grand daughter of the Empress Marie Therese, and cousin german of the Emperor Ferdinand. Through her mother she is granddaughter of Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia, and niece to the present Empress of Austria. The Duke de Levis arrived at Modena on the 3d instant, furnished with all necessary powers from the Count de Chambord, and on the sth made a formal demand of the hand of the Princess. The marriage was to take place by procuration on the 7th, and on the 9th the Princess was to go to Frohsdorff, attended by the Duchess de Levis and the Countess de Chabannes." In addition to the above, the Quotidienne says— " Our letters from Modena and Italy are filled with details on the subject of the Princess, who is about to become the consort of the Count de Chambord. She is tall and elegant, with a royal carriage and demeanour, a mostp la s gracefulness, made her the idol of her family; the whol e city of Modena regrets her departure as the Providence of the poor, and yet they take pride a n d congratu l at i on to themselves in her new destiny. The Duchess o f e i ngl Her character, her goo d ness, and her y expressive countena nce , an d a cult i vated understanding. Parma, the Empress Maria Louisa, came on the day of the ceremonial to give her felicitatioa s , an d di ned with her family and her cousin." The following letter from the Duke DE BOR DEAUX to the Marquis DE PASTORET, and dated Frohsdorff, the 28th ult., appears in the Quotidienne and France : "Frobsdorff, October 28. " Monsieur le Marquis de Pastoret,—l desire that on the occasion of my marriage, the poor may take part in the joy with which this new proof of the protection of heaven in my family and myself inspire me, and it appears to me that those of Paris have a particular right to my interest, for do not forget that it is in that city that I was born and spent the first years of my life. I, in consequence, have to announce to you that I place at your disposal a sum of 20,000 f., which I charge you to distribute. In the employment of this succour you will pay attention to no other consideration but that of the necessities and posi tion, more or less unfortunate, of each person, concerting to that effect With some of my faithful friends, who will be happy to lend me the aid of their seal in assisting you to fulfil my intentions. I experience only one regret, that of not being able to give more. When I think of the misery that prevails at preseiat, and of which the corn ing winter can only augment the severity, I could desire to have treasures to give, in order to assuage so much suffering. lam sure that my friztids will feel, as I do, the necessity o f i m p os i ng on themselves new sacrifices, and of rendering their alms amore abundant tban ever. They can do nothing more agreeable to me ; it is be sides a great means of keeping away from our common and beloved country the evils which threaten her, and of drawing down on her all the blessings that can ensure her happiness. I repeat to YOU, Motniettr, the assur ance of all my esteem and affection, (Signed) " HENRY." The whole affair has been cleverly managed by the I.)E BORDEAUX and his advisers. Some of the Paris journals mention a report that Prince Louis NAPOLEON is about to be married to Miss BURDETT COUTTS. It appears that there has been a secret meeting of prelates at St. Germain en Laye. Concerning the proceedings of this conclave there have been various rumours, a resume of which will be found in the fol lowing article from the ConstilutionuL.l: "Several-,J .suh ~urnals have occupied themselves wi t h t h e ject of the Consistory, held by our prelates on the int. at St. Germain. According to the Siecle, the simple question wa s t o i nves tigate the origin of certain L i e sshe not dto have disp disordets in a religi ous h ouse in Paris, which the rope remedie d. dispute that the Thebishops Siecle, may a have trratecl t the same time. ,!pots polities. The ational asserts that inure politics than religion were the objects of the conference. Ac cording to that journal, there was a iliscus,inn as to .?tether a remonqr4nee should not be addressed to the Pope, warniiir , him that his liberal ideas and measures had singularly compromised him in the minds of the episcopacy of France. The meeting was afterwares en- TURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 1846. gaged, it is said, in discussing the recent decree of the Royal Council, reminding the Freres de la Doctrine Cre tienne that according to their statutes they could not re ceive any salaries, and that it was on this condition they re ceived authority to teach. It is added, that the Consistory of St. Germain has obtained an assurance that the decree of the Royal Council shall be held to be of no effect, and that the prelates have also intimated to the Govern ment that it was time for it to keep its engagements with the Holy See on the subject of education. They are said to have received for answer to this, that before the end of the next session the Church would be invested with the right of erecting in face of each college of the State an ecclesiastical college, with exemption from all condition of grade and control. In all this there is no thing improbable. It would be no more than the pure and simple execution of the bargain entered into by M. Guizot from the tribune, during the last session, and in reliance upon which the Royal Council is given up, as an earnest for the fulfilment of the contract. It is, nevertheless, doubtful whether the Government dare venture to go so far." The National publishes the following account of the state of affairs in Spain and Portugal. The Madrid correspondent of the National, it should be remem bered, has generally been remarkable for the accuracy and the earliness of its information : " Our letters from Madrid communicate to us some news respecting the position of Portugal. It appears that after having obtained at Viana a slight advantage purchased at a dear rate, General Schwalback went to attack the insurgents at Evora, but he received a rude lesson, for the insurrectional troops precipitating them selves on him defeated him completely, and forced him to return to the quarter from which he had set out. This victory, the news of which was immediately spread abroad, at once drew into the movement all the district that the royal troops had occupied. The forces com manded by Das Antes and Sada Bandiera had ad vanced in good order to the gates of the capital. The position taken up by Das Antas, near Cintra, permits him to attack vigorously arid ensures him a retreat. The city besides was to be attacked in three different quarters, and the movement was not to commence until the different corps were ready to support him. In addition, the animation of all the insurgents is extreme. Fears were entertaind for some time of a certain hesitation on the part of Das Antes, in consequence of his letter to the Queen ; but the reply of the latter, and the decress depriving the principal chiefs of their titles and grades, leave no room for amicable arrangement!. It is the fate of arms that must decide the contest. Numerous desertions have al ready taken place ; the population of Lisbon awaits the moment when the engagement is going on, to throw off the yoke of terror which it supports with impatience. According to the last letters that had reached Madrid from that capital, no doubt was entertained of the triumph of the people. The Progressist party and the dissentient Conservatives do not conceal the vows they offer up for the success of the insurgents of Portugal. Mine. Munoz is furious at this spirit of faction. She was aware that amongst the generals and certain political men a hope was expressed to rid Spain also of a woman, who being officially nothing in the state, yet wanted to keep every one under her orders. She determined to have vengeance, and demanded nothing less than the proscrip tion of General Narvaez, Ferrand, Roz de Olano, Cor dova, Cotoner, and half a dozen others, for generals are thick enough at Madrid. After them came, it is said, some political quarrels. The Minister of War refused to sign the order of exclusion, and neither Pezuela, nor Fulgorio would execute it, unless on a formal mandate from the Ministry. She then wanted to dismiss General Sans ; but at that moment precisely, the young Queen, dissatisfied with M. Mon, wanted to dismiss him, and the crisis was going to become complicated. The two in trigues by clashing came to nothing, and Christina broods over her rancour whilst waiting for something better. Isturits, however, would willingly go away, for nobody is satisfied with him, and he is in ill humour with every one. The slightest shock, coming from Portugal, would fling confusion and disorder into the midst of this political circ:e in disarray." The KING and QUEEN of the FRENCH, and all the Royal Family, left Paris on Tuesday for Compeigne. Their journey had been deferred for one day in order to allow of the presentation of the Marquis of NOR MANBY to the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER. The Bey of TUNIS arrived at Toulon on Tuesday. He was to leave the same evening for Paris. The Orleans and Bordeaux Railway will be re opened next week. The damage done to it by the inundation of the Loire is not so great as had been anticipated. The Moniteur announces that the total amount of subscriptions for the sufferers from the inundations of the Loire was, up to Monday, 340,729 f. 85c. The Marquis of NORMANBY has since sub scribed 1,000 and Lord W. HARVEY 100 francs. 1,613 have been collected at the Episcopal Church in Rue d'Aguesseau, after a sermon preached by the Rev. W. CHAMIER, and there are several other liberal English donations advertised in Galignani's Messenger of 'Wednesday afternoon, the proprietors of that extensively-circulated print contributing 300 francs. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Wednes day at 82f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents., 117 f. 85c. ; the Or leans Railroad Shares, 1,227 f. 50c.; Rouen, 901 f. 25c. ; Havre, 6821. 50c. ; Great Northern, 658 f. 75c. ; Avignon, 880 f. ; Vierzon, 5721.50 c. ; Bordeaux, 550 f. ; Basle, 220 f. ; Fampoux, 405 f. ; Dieppe, 3551.; Paris and Strasburg, 4851.; Tours and Nantes, 495 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 507 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 490 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 477 f. 50c. ; Spanish Actives, 33k; Spanish Domestic Debt, 33.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, the sales being 5,000 bales, of which, speculatators took 1,000. Prices ruled much the same as previously. Shares were without any material alteration. At the sale of railway shares, to-day, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, there was no great alteration in prices. East Indian shares were lower. The following ate a few of the principal sales : Great Indian Peninsular .£o 4 6 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 Manchester and Southampton, 1846 1 5 0 East Indian ...

It is that no vessel will be chartered by them for the purposes stated, unless fitted up with lightning conductors, fixed upon the most scientific and approved principles. It is to be hoped that all emigrant ships will in future not be per mitted to leave our shores for distant colonies without similar safeguards being peremptorily demanded. It is hardly pcssible to estimate the loss of lives and of pro perty that has occurred at sea by lightning. The most approved plans now adopted are easy of application and not costly. The Austrian Government, it appears, is likely again very shortly to be in the market as a borrower to some extent, and, all things considered, certainly at rather an inauspicious time, the more especially if, as is asserted, there are other S tates also in treaty for large advances; The eminent capitalists, Rothschild and Sine, however, have no doubt sufcient power to furnish the requisite supplies, and to them this task is stated to have been assigned. The A ustrian Treasury is believed to be well provided with funds for all general purposes, and the object of the loan is supposed to be rather the extension of the rail way system than the supply of any deficiency. Whether the amount required will be raised simply by means of a loan, or a loan and lottery combined, is not yet ascer tained. The Baron Salomon Rothschild is expected in Vienna about the middle of the present month, and the sum intended to be raised is said to be forty millions of Although a considerable amount of business has been transacted in the Stock Markets this morning, the variations in prices have been slight. Consols for the Account have been alternately quoted at 944 and at 94k, for immediate transfer precisely the same ; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 95i -a; and Exche quer Bills at 14s. and at 11s. premium. Bank Stock is lower by 1 per cent. than it was yesterday. The only prices worth notice in the Foreign Stock Market to- day are, for the Portuguese Four per Cents. 3814 ; for Spanish Five per Cents., 268 ; the Three per Cents., 37i ; the Dutch Two-and -a-Halt per Cents., 59 ; while the Four per Cents. are flat at 918.

The Equerries in Waiting to her Majesty and his Royal Highness also attended on horseback. The Royal Family took their usual walking and pony exercise this morning. His Excellency George Bancroft, the American Mi nister, left the Castle to-day. Viscount Palmerston, Lord and Lady Holland, and the Hon. J. Bligh, also took their departure to-day.

The latter, with kindlier feelings than his ducal neigh bour, allows large numbers of sheep to be reared in the forest of Glenavon, of which he is lessee—and hence the paucity of the deer killed by himself and party in com parison with the large number slaughtered by his Grace of Leeds.—lnverness Courier. M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS AGAIN. —We find the following in the Clangor Publico of Madrid:—" Our cor respondent at Grenada writes thus, on October 31st:— The celebrated writer of novels, Dumas, with his son, is arrived in this city, having come to visit its historical monuments. We did not wish to speak of this distin guished man of letters in other than terms of admiration and respect; but we have unfortunately to relate a scandalous act, in which he and his son have played a prominent part. They went together to the residence of a French artist, who takes portraits in Daguerreo type. They were looking at a dance of gipsies on the terrace in front, and were very much amused, when sud denly a stone, thrown by SR unseen hand, struck the young Dumas on the forehead and slightly bruised it. Alarmed ill! irritated by this occurrence , a ll the French who were in the house rushed into the street to endeavour to :learn whence the stone came. It appears that ono of the gipsies pointed out the house of the architect, Jose Contreras, directly opposite. 'Without giving themselves time to verify the fact, without going to the competent authority, the Frenchmen rushed into the house, made their way into the apartments of the architect, and, e , inning One if .1.%!! !ions quietly occupied in drawing, they beat him severely, and even threatfmed to kill him with the weapons which they carried. In the midst ‘`.:f the noise and confusion, the mother and sister of the young man interposed to save him from further injury. These ladies the Frenchmen also struck and threw to the ground, and were about to further ill-treat them, when a police-officer came in with a troop, and put an end to this scandalous scene, or rather committed still greater out rage against propriety, if that were possible. The worthy ' officer, without any formal inquiry, suffered the French men to go unpunished, because, as he stated, he had no iorisdietion over them, and carried his arbitrary conduct vo iar as „ot niPu:e a hi. of I.oOG vials on the house. This wits bet•ause Dumas bal:f ho came into Spain as an , iit4cLi of th lerench (taba3sv.
