Whe accounts received each day from Ireland add a . feart'ul corroboration to the tale of misery and suffer ing °ilea sioned in that unhappy land by the total de struction of the potato crap, the desolation that has blighted th.-' almost universal food of the people. The conduct of the sufferers has been in the highest degree • • creditable to them, evincing a degree of patience in their afflictions, and a confidence and hope in the .exertions of the Executive, a conviction that no efforts . -will be spared to afford all just and reasonable relief to the working classes to provide a sufficiency of plain and wholesome food in the place of that which a been lost to the country, and to furnish them th the means of purchasing that food, by securing - .ad to quate employment to every man who is willing to ) a fair day's workin exchange for a fair day's e gt ss. Such confidence mug not be misplaced. .7h * \people must be fed, no matter what difficulties may be encountered, how great a diminution may take place in the luxuries and superfluities of the wealthier classes. The first, the grand principle is, that every owner of land must employ the poor belonging to that land ; the people have a right to be provided with food from the land on which they were born and located, that support may be exchanged for the labour of those demanding it ; but if useful occupation be not provided for them they must be maintained in idleness. This is a principle which has long been admitted and acted on in this country. It was the foundation on which the poor-law of the reign of ELIZABETH was based. ft is one of the institutions of England which must be extended to Ireland, in order to place her people on the promised footing of entire and perfect equality with ourselves. This, then, being admitted, and few we trust can be found with sufficient hardihood to gainsay or deny it, the first object should be the setting to work of that vast quantity of labour, so as to obtain a profitable return, in order by its means to increase and multiply the natural wealth of the country, the produc tive qualities of the soil—to construct useful works which will repay the cost of their execution, to reclaim waste lands, and to bring into cultivation new tracts and districts that have hitherto been neglected, but which, if duly attended to, would speedily yield an ample dividend on the amount of the expenditure incurred, and produce large quanti ties of food to meet the increasing wants of the people. Let it not be said that there is not an ample field for the judicious occupation of the unemployed labourer. At this moment there are no less than four millions of acres of waste lands still untouched, which in a few short years would pay, at the lowest calculation, more than ten per cent on the cost of their reclamation. With such a sphere of action, why should there be a necessity for seeking for the means of employment ? Every encourage ment should be given to private enterprise. Every landowner who is able and willing to commence operations on unproductive parts of his estate, or who can induce capitalists to co-operate with him in so doing, should have every assistance given to him for that purpose. Loans might be fairly advanced by the State proportioned to and in aid of his own outlay. There could be no objection thereto similar to that which is so justly entertained against the advance of money for the payment of charges and encumbrances affecting other lands. In every case, therefore, where the owner of the soil is willing to undertake the cultivation and improvement of his own lands, he should be permitted to do so ; at the same time, furnishing satisfactory evidence that his attempt is a fair and bond fide one, and that the works pro gress, under his superintendence, at a reasonable rate. If, however, he wants the ability or the will, no fancied right of property, no unwillingness to inter fere with private possessions, should be permitted to impede and obstruct measures of vast public utility. We every day are witnesses to the compulsory sale of property of every description; cultivated lands, buildings, all are taken away from the proprietors, who are obliged to accept the price or value at which they may be assessed by a jury of their countrymen, because their acquisition is necessary for the com pletion of a work of magnitude which may be bene ficial to the public, although its profits and returns might be applicable to individuals. If, then, it is just in such a case, and for such a purpose, to deprive parties of the property, whether willing or unwilling, how much more equitable is it to take that which the nominal owners have suffered to lie waste and unpro ductive, idle and unimproved; more particularly when an option in the first instance is afforded to the proprietor himself to undertake the speculation, and, in the event of his refusal, the fair value is given him therefor ? Having thus clearly established the right of the State again to take possession of the lands which it originally granted, we think the vast benefit to the public not merely justifies such an act, but imperatively calls for its adoption. The requisite finds for the undertaking might be procured in many different ways. A waste land stock might be created similar to that which in Belgium was prccured for the construction of railroads, which were planned by and remained the property of the State, or it might be offered to associated companies of capitalists, who by such means would, we doubt not, acquire consi- derable profit, in addition to the vast benefits they would confer on the community at large. Either of these methods, we consider, would be desirable ; but there are many other ways in which the object could be attained; for instance, a judicious system of loans and advances to be applied under the auspices and with the ap- probation of the Board of Works. The employment thus afforded, the outlay might be dispensed gradually, so that the returns from the earlier works might assist in those which should be attempted at a later period. Two or three millions would, in the first instance, be amply sufficient to mitigate the existing distress, and test the efficacy of the project. How. ever large such a sum might appear, its expenditure would be as nothing in comparison to the distress thereby relieved, the vast benefits attained. It would be auxiliary to the occupation that will be pro duced by the railroads in progress of construction, the improvements by thorough drainage, fencing, and bringing into high cultivation the lands already in use. It would go far to mitigate, if not entirely to remove, the existing distress, and surely for such a purpose, and with the great probability, if not the certainty, of an adequate return, a sum less than one-fifth of that which was cheerfully devoted to the abolition of slavery in the British Colonies might feirly be risked. The subject is too important to be compressed within the space applicable to a single article. We shall, on an early occasion, return thereto, and we hope to be enabled to show that the present distress may be made the means of great and permanent advantage to our sister kingdom. The Peninsula seems destined to be embroiled for evermore, and unless some strenuous or miraculous regeneration takes place, both in the Spanish and Por tuguese Governments, that destiny is in a fair way of being fulfilled. While the inhabitants of Madrid ire thrown into the utmost excitement by the:pros c-e t of beholding the Due DE MOZiTPENSIEE abduc the Infanta LussA, the population of Lisbon is case into a state of peculiar tribulation by the possi bility of being again subjected to a Cabral Administration. It is difficult, indeed, to de termine which of the Peninsular kingdoms is involved in the greater embarrassment. The Spaniards, almost with one accord, are indignant at those machinations of the French Embassy by which the national integrity of their common country is placed in such remarkable jeopardy; and the reso lute persistence of King Louis PHILIPPE and his ambassador, M. BRESSON, in consummating their en deavours, promises to enkindle a flame in the bosoms of the Spaniards which cannot be very readily ex tinguished. The Portuguese, on the other hand, are plunged into the most agonising uncer tainty. Miguelite insurgents, or rather par ties of guerrillas, leagued together ostensibly for the purpose of upholding the cause of Don MiGuEn, are roving about the northern provinces of Minho and Tras-os-Montes, creating much anxiety in the minds of the southern civilians, and harassing the troops which have been dispatched for their sup pression, not merely by the violence of their sallies, but by the rapidity of their movements among the mountains. So considerable have been these disturb ances, that General Count DAS ANTAS has been com pelled to require additional reinforcements to the forces committed to his direction, and which forces had been already rendered more formidable both in numefical strength and in general efficiency. Not merely, however, have the northern provinces of Portugal been the scene of these insurrectionary movements, not only have these guerillas brought terror amongst the peaceable inhabitants of Moncao, Nobrega, Pico de Regelados, and 13raga, but the southern provinces appear to have suffered from a proportionate disorganisation, and the Alemtejo has been the arena of nearly similar outbreaks. What may be the, ultimate consequence of these continual commotions it is almost impossible even to conjecture. It is, moreover, so generally believed that the guerilla insurgents are abetted by the parti sans of the late Cabral Government, that the Spanish Ministry is desirous of reinstating the Cabral party in power, and that the Queen of PORTUGAL herself is most solicitous for the return of its ob noxious leader ; that the people continue in the most ► miserable state of uncertainty, a prey to the most distressing anticipations. Any implement would be seized with avidity for the purpose of annihilating projects so calculated to prove detrimental to the nation generally. The proceedings, therefore, in the Minho are fraught with the utmost importance to the excited imaginations of the population of the capital. By an assurance conveyed in the columns of the Diarie, they were for a period lulled into a delu sive belief that - the Miguelite guerillas had been dispersed, and that a permanent pacification had ensued. Intelligence, however, has been subse quently received of the renewal of these disturbances, and of the requisition of Count DAS ANTAS for two additional regiments. The guerilla warfare is indeed of such a vagrant character, and resembles so much the predatory incursions of Cossacks, that nothing is more improbable than the speedy extermination of the in surgents. Portugal, if not in the mcst calamitous, is unquestionably in the most precarious, condition. Something of a surprising and unexpected character can alone extricate this kingdom from anarchy, and restore it to a respectable position among the Euro pean principalities. In the midst of the general confusion of the Peninsula there is, nevertheless, reviving a sentiment of patriotic sincerity. Opinions are abroad among certain classes of the people, and men are already associated together anxious for a rational adjustment of all difficulties— prepared to make all reasonable concessions—and filled with a deep and ineradicable reverence for the genius of constitutional liberty. Such sentiments are entertained both in Spain and in Portugal— sentiments inspiring the population of the former with a repugnance to any endeavour on the part of France to abstract from the nationality which is at present ensured by the reigning family; and in spiring the population of the latter with a dread of the threatened domination of CABAL. These sen timents, it is true, are entertained by a minority ; bu when we recal to our recollection the obscure room in Manchester, partitioned off by a dingy red curtain, with its little junto of free-traders, and when we re member how that project, from being at first con sidered chimerical and contemptible, became at last of gigantic puissance, and was ultimately realised in the Imperial Parliament at Westminster, we cannot but still feel satisfied that the twin nations of the Peninsula may restore to themselves peace and prosperity, and at length assume their original and elevated position among the civilised kingdoms of the earth. The Shah of PERSIA, in consequence of the death of his eldest son, who was carried off by the cholera, has named MALEK KAssIM MIRZA, brother to the late SITAR, one of the most learned men in the country, and who is well versed in the European languages, to be guardian to his second son, now heir to the throne, who is only eleven years of age. MALER KASSIM is Governor of Tabris. A letter from Rome, dated Sept. 8, which appears in the Semaphore de Marseilles, says, that from the date of the publication of the amnesty, the Roman people resolved to give the Holy Father a public testimonial of their gratitude, and decided that it should be on the Bth instant, the Feast of the Nati vity. A subscription was accordingly opened for the purpose of erecting a monument destined to comme morate that act of clemency, and•a temporary trium phal arch, representing the intended monument was built on the Piazza del Popolo; its summit and base were surrounded with statues, symbols of religion and of the \rho/ties of which Pius IX. is the model. Inscriptions extolling those vir tues, in appropriate and affecting terms, adorn the columns. A rich carpet, with the arms of the Holy Father, surrounded with various devices, was spread under the arch ; and thence to the Qui rinal the whole line which the pontifical cortege was to pursue was strewn with flowers. It is impossible to describe the aspect of the Corso at this moment. I can cnly compare it to an immense saloon, magnifi cently decorated, offering to the eye everything that is calculated to move the heart and mind, 100,000 enthusiastic spectators, richly dressed, completed its decoration. It was a truly sublime spectacle. The most profound silence pervaded the crowd on the an nouncement of the approach of the Sovereign Pontiff, and permitted us to hear the distant acclamations which saluted his passage. Five horse Gendarmes opened a passage for the cortege through the multitude. Five hundred young men, dressed in black, holding branches of laurel in their hands and bearing the pontifi cal colours, walked six abreast, and sang hymns in praise of Pius IX. They were followed by the household of the POPE, dressed in crimson, and after them came the pontifical carriage, from which his HOLINESS, whose tears betrayed his deep emotion, bestowed his benediction under showers of flowers and sonnets, and amidst the most deafening acclamations." . . . " Pius 1X.," adds the correspondent of the Sema phore, " now possesses a moral power that nothing can resist. The Sovereigns of the other states of Italy are fully aware of it. They know that their subjects would instantly respond to an appeal of the Sovereign Pontiff. The time is come when princes should meditate on those words of Scripture, —Et nunc reges intelligite. May they soon comprehend their meaning! On the other hand, may the hope conceived by the friends of progress and of a wise liberty, from the glorious and promising accession of Pius IX. to the chair of St. PETER, not be ultimately deceived !" THE SUN, Lk/i4bON, THURSDAV EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1846. I press sees in this marriage nothing but a n ew ~pledge of concurrence and support given by France to the arbitrary and wilful system on which Spain is ruled ; public opinion is excited ; and the jealousy of the people is awakened. We have already said that this projected alliance has produced great emotion in England, a lively discontent in all parties, and even, we are assured, among tllie.e who are above all party. Many persons imagine that this movement in men's minds in England and in Spain will cause the ne gotiators of the marriage to reflect, and moderate their petulance. The following phrase in a curious article of the Times has keen remarked:—' We suggest that the Queen and her sister are not Siamese twins, and there fore need not be both married at the same time. It has also been observed that in the official note of the Madrid Gazette no mention is made of the time at which the union between the Duke de Montpen sier and the Infanta is to be celebrated ; and this phrase, `ln due time an account of this marriage shall be rendered to the Ccr tes,' implies an adjournment. It has already been said that the marriage of the Infanta may be deferred until after the first pregnancy of Queen Isabella. We, however, shall not dwell upon these facts or these conjectures. We will suppose that neither the agitation of two great natirns, nor the efforts of parties, nor the protests of ambassadors, nor the notes. of Governments, nor the letters of august personages, can cool our diplomatic love, or our matrimonial ardour. We consider the mar riage as settled. What will issue from it? For what great result, for what high national interest have we passed so many barriers, and compromised that precious entente cordiale, so dearly purchased, and formerly so much vaunted? The two Courts will exchange decora tions and favours, and no doubt there will be a double shower of ribbons. The Duke de Montpensier will bring his young bride to Paris, and the Royal Family will have another amiable Princess to cherish. But will our in fluence in Spain be increased? Will the political results be of any value? Let men of understanding answer these questions. It is certain, it is self-evident, that when ever a question in any degree interesting to France may be agitated in Spain, our counsels will be rejected on this ground—' Beware of awakening the jealousy and suspicions of the Spanish nation! Spare the suscepti bility of England! Endeavour to make our allies forget their dissatisfaction at the marriage! Every influence set up in Spain is an influence lost!' If any misfortune happens to Spain, if any fault is committed by her Go vernment, France will have to bear her share of the responsibility. At the same tame her influence will be diminished, her advice will have less weight and autho rity. Beyond a rich dower, we cannot find that we gain anything by this alliance; which, on the other hand, creates many embarrassments, brings with it a new cause for coolness between France and England, and will, as the Times says, make the Duke de Montpensier in Paris a Spanish Prince exiled in partibus infidelium." The following account from the National of the measures adopted by the French Governors of Spain to stifle anything like the free expression of national opinion, is by no means exaggerated : " While waiting for Narvaez to resume the conduct of affairs, the present Cabinet of Madrid is paving the way for his return by an admirable system of mildness. During the last week three Progressist journals have been seized in the capital. Orders have been given to keep a close eye upon those citizens of Seville who made known their adherence to the protest published in the Clamor Publico. The day that the petition, addressed to the Queen against the marriage of the Duke de Mont pensier, appeared in the Echo, M. Bresson put himself in a great rage. lle complained to M. Isturitz that a docu ment so improper should have been allowed to be printed and circulated. On this the Political Chief of Ma drid was summoned and reprimanded; police agents went to all the places where the petition lay for signature, and it was declared that every one who had placed his name to it would be imprisoned and sent to the Philippines without any other form of trial. The Ministry afterwards addressed a circular to all the Captains -General of the provinces, enjoining them to prevent the circulation of the petition, and Co punish with the greatest severity the first who should sign it, in order that this warning m4,lit prevent others from following the example that had been set. Particular recommendations were given to the Captains-General of Andalusia, Gallicia, and Ca talonia. Such are the means employed to have s sincere manifestation of public opinion in Spain on a marriage which i to overflow her with joy and happiness. The journals, however, whether seized or not seized, continue an ardent opposition against the projected union." The Constitutionnel publishes the following Intel ligence from the Prince DE JOINVILLE'S squadron in the Mediterranean :—" The squadron was on the Gth still lying in the Neapolitan harbours, and it was said that the steamers Descartes and Asmodee would shortly return to Toulon. A report prevailed that the ships would not quit the Mediterranean. A strong Ottoman division, having sailed out of the Dardanelles, may present itself on the coast of Bar bary. Morocco is violently agitated, and is perhaps at this moment the theatre of serious events. Now, it is of importance that we should always be ready to protect the Bey of Turas against the attempts of the Porte, and to act with vigour, both by sea and land, against Morocco, should the population of that coun try actually espouse the cause of AITD-EL-FADER." Intelligence to the 9th of June had been received from the island of Bourbon. The new Governor, Captain GRAEB, had arrived on the Gth. The aban donment of the projected expedition to Madagascar had caused great dissatisfaction. We extract the following from the Moniteur Algerien of the 10th : "We stated in our last that Lieutenant-General Bedeau had left Constantina on the 21st ult., for the purpose of chastising the tribe amongst whom was committed the murder of the Khaid Lackhal, one of our best servants. The last mail from the East has brought us au account of the results of this short ex pedition. The principal persons of the tribe of the Beni,Ketits have been arrested, and a fine of 55,000 f. has been inflicted on the tribe. A fraction of the Beni- Soughals, who, contrary to orders, had given an asylum to the Beni-petits, and had received their flocks and herds, in order to conceal them from us, have been se verely punished. An investigation has been commenced with a view to discover the authors of the murder, and give them up to justice." The same journal gives an account of a fine having been inflicted by the Commandant of Biskra upon a tribe which had clandestinely received some Arabs who had sought to evade the authority of the French. The state of Algeria generally is described as tran quil, and nothing is said to corroborate the rumours about new and important demonstrations by ABD EL-KADER. A report was current at Orleansville, that Bou- MazA had re-appeared in the neighbourhood. Marseilles has joined the free-trade movement. A Free-trade Association WrlS formed there on the 11th. Several of the most eminent merchants have been appointed members of the Committee, of which M. LUCE, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, has accepted the office of President.

Lord John Russell is expected to arrive at his re sidence in Chesham-place, this afternoon, from Os borne House, Isle of Wight. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 10th instant. Certain guerilla movements, nomi nally Miguelite, but really Cabralista, and which there was reason for more than suspecting were fomented by the Spanish Government, had taken place in the north provinces, but had been put down by the Count das Antas, Who, however, had deemed it prudent to ask for reinforcements. It is said that part of the price agreed to be paid by the Portuguese Camarilla for the assistance of Spain in the restora . tion of the Cabrals to power, was the vesting the right of the navigation of the Tagus in the Spanish Government. It is not surprising, therefore, that Gonzales Bravo should have set at defiance the law of nations in his endeavours to bring about this restoration. CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION (THIS DAY.) The revising barrister, Mr. T. J. Arnold, resumed the examination of the list of freemen voters, at ten o'clock, commencing with the Dyers', and proceeding through the other companies to the Lorireers'. The name of Mr. Patey, a freeman of the Furriers' Company, was objected to by Mr. Samuel Brown (for the Conservatives), on the ground that he did not reside in the City, or within the prescribed limits (seven miles of it.) Mr. Matey, being examined in support of his claim, stated, that he had a house in Lombard street, the whole of which, except the c-iunting-liouse, was furnished for his private residence and occupied by his family. He had another house in Croydon, where he usually slept, hut he resided a l so frequently in Lombard. street. The BARRISTER said that Mr. Patey had clearly a resi dence in the City in the meaning of the Act, and as the question had been decided before in other cases, he would dismiss the objection with costs. Mr. Spicer, a freeman of the Fishmongers' Company, was objected to also by Mr. Brown, on the ground that his name was not properly described. After a prolonged discussion, The BARRISTER said that an error in the description of a name was not fatal to the. claimant.. Under the 40th section of the Act the barrister had power to cor rect the error. However, as this was a point which had not been raised before, he would not give costs in the present case, but would do so in every future case of the same kind. The other cases decided this morning were of no novelty or general interest.' Madrid papers of the 10th have been received. The Heraldo contradicts the statement made in some of the papers of the Bth, to the effect that Count BRESSON had already made a formal demand of the hand of the INFANTA for the Duc DE MoNT PENSIER. The Espanol says that at Eu, last year, a formal understanding was come to between M. GUIZOT and Lord ABERDEEN that the question of the MONTPENSIER marriage should not be mooted until the Queen of SPAIN bad children, and that the Marquis of NORMANDY had, in a very animated con versation, recalled the recollection of M. GUIZOT to this circumstance, and stated that England considered it to be an engagement binding on the French Go vernment. The same journal states that the English and Austrian Ambassadors at Paris had presented a joint protest-against the marriage. In his interview with M. GulzoT, Lord NORMANDY is said to have declared that his Government would consider the affair as one of the few questions calculated to in terrupt the amicable relations between France and England. As a proof of the hatred which the Spanish people bear to a French husband for their INFANTA, we quote the following anecdote of the Espanol:— " The last French courier," says the Espanol, " who brought to M. Bresson the dispatches ho so impatiently expected, repaired to the post-office, as ho did not know Madrid. There he asked for the French Ambassador. The curious assembled around the post office soon guessed what the object of his journey was, and the news soon spread even unto the Puerto, del Sol. The courier hastened to the French Embassy, but on leaving the post-office he was universally hissed, and the hisses escorted him to the Calle Mayor. The poor man, dis mayed by such a reception, gallopped on in double quick time, and lost his stirrups, which mishap did but increase tho charivari. We tell the story just as it has been told us, not that we wish to approva of an act of intole rance and rudeness, but to give an idea of the state of public opinion, and of the pleasure with which Spaniards submit to foreign influence." The POPE'S license for the marriages is expected to arrive about the 20th of this month, and the 10th of October is the day at present fixed for their celebration. The announcement of the admission of Cuba sugar into England had given great satisfaction throughout Spain. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 10.—The Three per Cents. were done at 36 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 221 ; the Five per Cents. at 22i; the Debt without Interest at 61; and the Coupons 21k. We have received the Tanis papers of Tuesday. The Journal, des 13Ybats says not one syllable on subject of the MoNTPENsTER marriage, and this silanco is perhaps more significant than any of its observations could by possibility have been. The Opposition journals of all shades of opinion are most strenuous in their-opposition to it. The Constitu tionnel says— " We confess that we cannot admire the chef-d'ceuvre in diplomacy of M. Bresson—the glorious coup de tete of our Government—the triumphant conclusion of the mar riage of the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta of Spain. We have only one motive to give for saying this. We shall not take any account of the obstacles which may render doubtful or retard the accomplish ment. of the pr o j ec t e d un i on . Th e Lib era l p ar ty in Spain is irritated ; the Carlist party combines its angry feelings with those of the Progressists ; the Spanish EXPRESS FROM PARIS SPAIN. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, The French Government has this day received a telegraphic dispatch from Madrid, dated the 14th instant. The opening of the Cortes was not signalised by any incident of importance. The Cortes, it is said, received this communication with great favour. A commission was named to prepare an address in answer to the' speech. The commission was composed of men extremely devoted to her Majesty. The commission will present their draft of the ad dress on the 15th or 16th, and it is expected to be adopted on the spot. It is believed that the dissolution of the Cortes will take place on the 20th at latest. They will be con voked again early in Demember.—Chronicle. DONCASTER RACES. WEDNESDAY.

Red House, in, 300, &c. BANK OF ENGLAND—(THIS DAY). A half yearly general court of the proprietors of the Bank of England, to consider of a dividend, and also a quarterly general court, appointed by the charter, were held to-day at the Bank of England. The report of the proceedings of the last court having been read, The GOVERNOR (W. Heath, Esq.) stated that the present was one of the quarterly general courts, ap pointed by the charter, and also one of the half-yearly general courts, appointed by the bye laws, to consider of a dividend. The Court of Directors, looking at the present state of the Bank accounts and its funds, were of opinion that a dividend of 3i per cent., free of income tax, might be declared ; but before he put that question the proprietors, no doubt, would be anxious to hear from him a statement of the Bank accounts and the rest. In August of last year the rest was 3,588,8871. On the 20th of February, 1846, the rest was 3,689,430/.,, and the amount at that period added to the rest was 100,5431. In August the rest was 3,789,9731., and the further amount added was 150,3231., making a total increase in the two half years of 250,8661. The rest at present stood 3,859,752/. He trusted that this state of their accounts would be satisfactory to the proprietors. If any gentleman present wished fur further explanation on any point he should be most happy to give it. A PROPRIETOR wished to know what amount the Bank had paid into the Exchequer for income tax. The GOVERNOR-30;0001. Mr. DE WINTER was compelled, however reluctantly, to rise, in order to move an amendment to the proposi tion brought forward by the governor and directors. He thought that under the present circumstances, when the Bank, on the sth of this month, had above nine millions of notes, and about six millions in bullion unemployed, when the powers were so much extended under the new charter, and they were empowered like the private banks of the country to command the markets—he thought that when they had 25 millions to be divided, being something like 25 per cent., that the very least the directors could do would be to allow 4 per cent. instead of 3i. He thought that the proprie tors should reap a little present advantage, instead of working all for posterity.. He begged leave to conclude by moving that on the 10th day of October next 4 per cent., independent of the income-tax, be declared, itl stea.d of 31 per cent. Mr. WILLIAMSON seconded the motion. He ,thought they might well afford an increased per contage when they had within the last two half-years added to their funds above 250,0001. Mr. GEORGE DEER thought that the governor and directors, considering 'the favourable state of the ac counts cf the Bank, should add to the capital of the pro prietors. from the rest, the sum of 1,455,3001. Mr. FIELDEN supported the original motion, and op posed the amendment of Mr. De Winter, believing that the directors would give the proprietors a half-yearly dividend of 4 per cent. as soon as they were able, con sistently with the affairs of the Bank. He deprecated all' notion of giving bonuses. Mr. COOK thought the directors ought to give the proprietors a dividend of 4 per cent. on the last half- Y e n - - - Mr. CLARK supported the original motion for a divi dend of 3i per cent., as proposed by the court of direc tors. He could not but compliment them on the course they had pursued, and he considered them entitled to the thanks of the proprietors! generally. The GOVERNOR could assure the proprietors of the anxiety of the directors to manage the affairs of the Bank in a way that would most conduce to their inte rest.—(llcar, hear.) The present dividend had not been proposed by the directors without great considera tion, and he believed it would be for the interest of the proprietors to adopt it. The GOVERNOR then put the amendment, which was supported by 8; and negatived by a vast majority. The original motion was then put and carried unanimously. It was then declared that the dividend warrants would be made out and paid on the 12th October next. Mr. PILCHER wished to know whether the satisfactory state of their affairs would not admit of their paying the salaries of the clerks and the income-tax thereon. The GOVERNOR said that the directors could only entertain the subject if a substantive motion were made upon it. The conversation then dropped. Thanks were voted to the governor and directors, and the court separated. TEIE EAST INDIA MAILS.—The East India mails will be made up this month, on the evening of the 19th inst., instead of the 2d. The overland mail will be made up on the 24th, as usual. WESTMINSTER-BEIDGE.—Th e work of demolition has been going on during the last few days. At the present time the whole of the balustrades 'and stone work on either side of the bridge have been pu'lled down, and some hundred loads of stone removed. It is very questionable whether the bridge will ever be again opened for carriages. The lamps on both sides have been transferred to the centre of the old carriage road, to light the small space that is still left for pedestrians. This looks as if the re-opening of the carriage-way, not withstanding what has been said about the safety of the bridge, now that the erection is not so heavy, was never contemplated. RUSSIAN BEM-A ship named the Vernon, just arrived in the river from Archangel, Russia, had on board, in addition to 15 barrels of tongues, and a variety of other productions, the large quantity of 704 tierces and 48 barrels Qf beef. The - Queen went to the Cortes, and read a speech, in which she announced her intended marriage with the Infante Don Francisco d'Assis, as well as that of her sister with the Duke of Montpensier. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000 bales, at steady rates. Shares were quiet. The meeting at the Rink of England, held this morning, has gone off satisfactorily. The Rest shows a considerable increase, say 250,8601., for the year. It was proposed that the dividend be increased, or that a bonus of 2 per cent. be declared immediately. However, the court of proprietors considered it the safest plan to adhere to the old dividend for the present. Consols for Account have been firm, at 96 to 962; but for Money the value is at ^95:43- 2 only. Exchequer-bills are at 102. to 13s. premium.
