Now that circumstances may be presumed to have conducted the machinations of the Count DE BEESSON to their consummation, it becomes a matter of pecu liar interest to observe the relritive position assumed at this moment by the various per sonages implicated therein. And, notwithstanding that the members of the Camarilla may con gratulate themselves upon the temporary success which has attended their arrangements, it is manifest that the present is bat a poor opportunity for the indulgence either of exultation or confidence. Everything that ingenuity could suggest for the speedier accomplishment of the marriages has been hastened forward ; all unnecessary procrastination from the interference of English diplomacy has been avoided by returning no immediate answer to the protest thereby transmitted ; every circumstance that could tend to facilitate the progress of the French Princes through the provinces of the Peninsula relays of post-horses, squadrons of cavalry, the terrible guardianship of 19.-pounders, the "buzzes" of a gold-loving and wine-bibbing rabble—has been skilfully pre-arranged by the crea tures of the Gallic embassy and the satellites of the obsequious Imam. So far these hymeneal pre liminaries have prospered ; but the consequences of this specious precipitation still remain of a very dubious character, and assume, if that be possible a yet more threatening appearance. Their Royal Highnesses are reported to have passed into the Spa nish capital amidst an impassive multitude of spectators ; not a hat was raised, not a handkerchief 'fluttered, not a t•hred of tapestry dis played, not a Viva uttered from the Calles Fuencarrel to the gateway of the palace, slving a few hired accla mations from a little body-guard of " the un washed ;" not a single congratulatory bonfire in the squares of Burgos ; not a solitary cheer from the citizens of Madrid, or from the inhabitants of its en virons ! If this be not a sufficient indication of the unwelcome nature of this Montpensier alliance, there are numberless others proving it to be en ti re l y of a compulsory, and not of a popular character Among these may be enumerated, the secret distri bution of itlammatory appeals to the popu lace, the continued seizure of the Liberal newspapers, and the confinement of different indi viduals who are known to be inimical to the marriage. These, and numberless other circum stances, testify as to how unpalatable this diplomatic device is among the more sincere lovers of Spanish independence, and these are, fortunately for hu- inanity and civilisation, the vast majority of the population. This daring attempt to root the influence of the French Government in the Peninsula, has, in reality, done little more than brought all the political parties of the latter country into a collision of such violence, as renders some calamitous demonstration inevitable. A general and not bloodless pronunc:araento may be calculated upon with some certainty, and the passion which will be thereby engendered must tend rather to the diminu tion than to the permanent establishment of Gallic influence. The balance upon which the continued tranquillity, or the almost interminable disturbance, of Spain now oscillates, is of infinite delicacy. Every diligence is expected to bring intelligence to Madrid of some Carlist insurrection. It is certain that the expectations of the antagonists to the Cama rilla are centering in the person of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN. Many are undoubtedly inclined to turn for a co-operation to General N."-RVAEZ, but the consummate duplicity and eminent selfishness of the ex-Minister renders any steady reliance upon his assistance impossible. In the second " Young Cava lier," the Carlists recognise the representative of an illustrious house, and a Prince who would be insti gated to a resolute campaign by the very magnifi cence and vastness of the guerdon for which he has already proclaimed it as his intention to struggle— namely, the Spanish diadem. Nothing couldirnpart such an extraordinary prestige to the cause of this aspirant as the recent proceedings of the vassals of BRESSON ; nothing could render a coalition of the Carlists with the Progressistas more probable than the despotic means by which the Afrancesados have latterly en deavoured to compel the community to swallow the unpalatable and deleterious draught concocted in the Cabinet of the Tuileries. Little has the hitherto sagacious Sovereign of France benefited his position among the European Powers by his recent attempt to gain the prepon derance. What:the delegated authority of Louis XIV. had proved incapable of accomplishing, the pen and the standing of diplomacy have surely no higher power to realise. The obstacles which were impossible, even before the batons of NAPOLEON'S Mar shals, are surely not more calculated to yield before the thrust of a hymeneal torch. A logical exposi tion of this improbability is, however, rendered wholly needless, now that occurrences are rapidly attesting the reality. Rhetorical flourishes are altogether superfluous at a period when the trumpet of revolt is eagerly listened for by the populace. Two gigantic and neighbouring nations are already estranged from King Louis PHILIPPE by the grasp ing and insidious policy lately adopted by his Govern ment. Of one of these nations he is juggling away the liberties ; the honest and constitutional remonstrances of the other he is treating as idle garrulity. There is so much of unnecessary rashness, and so much of spontaneous recklessness about the Spanish policy ofhis Ministry, that we should be tempted to attribute it to a paroxysm of political insanity ; nevertheless we are persuaded that this appeArance is altogether an affecta tion, that the alliance is not merely a " family affair," as the Preue would wish to insinuate, and that M. Guinn., like HAMLET, " knows a hawk from a hand-saw." The sentence of the court-martial on private MATTHEWSON, of the 7th Hussars, has at length been promulwated. Six months' imprisonment, two of them in solitary confinement, has been considered a punishment only adequate for a petulant expression, for words derogatory to the dignity of a non-com missioned officer, and those, too, uttered in a moment of excitement and irritation, when he was smarting nnder exasperated feelings, when his simple petition for liberty to exchange his term of duty with a brother private, in order that he might for a few short hours enjoy the society of his mother and a brother in-law, whom he had not seen for nine years, was contemptuously negatived, and he was told " that the commanding officer could not grant his request, neither would he see him ;" and when the complain ing sergeant threw himself in the way of the angry man, unaccompanied by any other soldier of the guard, thereby himself violating a regimental order, and depriving the accused of the benefit of testimony to which , he should have been entitled, as if he sought to entrap the poor young man into some indiscreet or hasty expression. Taking all these circumstances into consideration,it does appear . to us, civilians, rather a severe penalty for the offence, although it will, we suppose, be considered most lenient by those officers who on a former occasion condemned the same person to 100 lashes, every one of which was fully inflicted without favour or affection, for calling out " Halloa" to another of that dignified grade. Seriously speaking, can it be wondered at that the people have a strong repugnance, a decided objection to enter into a service where such things are tolerated? It is said that our soldiers are of an inferior class, that they are less respectable in their characters and con duct than the non-military part of the population ; that they can only be acted on, their obedience enforced, by an extraordinary degree of severity ; and this is the attempted justification of the present system. We believe that such an assertion is an unjust aspersion, a gross calumny against a very large proportion of our gallant brethren ; but, were it even the truth, is it not manifest that the superior and better description of men are thereby deterred from joining the ranks, that it occasions the very mischief it proposes to remedy ? It is the just, the humane principle of the British law, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape than that one innocent man should suffer•" Every protection is given by our social law to each person within its jurisdiction : the crimes are fully and clearly defined, the punishments are ex plicitly set forth, and, above all, no one can be con victed of any crime, or subjected to any punishment, except upon the unanimous verdict of twelve men, his peers, before whom he has had an opportunity of urging every mitigating and favourable circumstance by able advocates, men whose education and pursuits fully qualify them for the duty. With the soldier the case is, however, very different. A wide dis cretion is left to the tribunal to which he is subjected. " All disorders and neglects which officers and soldiers may be guilty of, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, though not specified in the fore going cases, or in our Articles of War, shall be taken cognizance of by courts-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offence." So runs the Article of War, and all that is necessary is to allege any act whatsoever to be "to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" to subject the person by whom it was committed to heavy penalties ; although it was never treated or considered as a crime before, nor violated any moral or social law, still it is for the court, if they please so to do, to pronounce it an offence. No person, therefore, can be safe under such a code. The nature and amount of the punishment is also entirely within the will of the court, who may themselves be reprimanded and severely censured if their finding and sentence does not meet the appro tion of the Commander-in-Chief. A bare majority of the court is sufficient to declare the crime, and to pronounce the punishment, except indeed in capital cases, where two-thirds at least of the members must concur before sentence of death can be passed. The soldier also is deprived of the benefit of legal assist ance : if by a sort of pious fraud a'professional man is admitted, he is called the friend of the accused and is not recognised as his advocate, or permitted to ad dress the court on his behalf. All these are serious dis advantages to which no person will lightly expose himself, unless he attains some great advantage by so doing; but this unfortunately is not the case, for the military authorities will rely solely on punish ments, and resolutely refuse to give a trial to a system of rewards, which would probably be far more efficient for the preservation cf discipline, and in a great degree would dispense with the necessity of the present punishinents. Nothing but imperative necessity can possibly justify anything so much at variance with, and so re pugnant to, the spirit of the British Consti tution. Let us for a moment inquire whether there is any such paramount necessity. We are at once willing to admit that such a power may be desirable in a state of war, and perhaps in a more modified degree when any regiment is abroad, and out of the jurisdiction of the ordinary tri bunals of the country; but we distinctly deny that at home there is any occasion whatsoever for anything be yond the common laws administered by the judicial authorities of the land. Two of the most able writers, men who have adorned the ermine, and put forward principles of jurisprudence that will ever be hailed with respect, have stated their opinions that military lay, should be abolished in time of peace. " Martial law," says Sir WILLIAM BLACKSTONE, " which is built upon no settled principles, hut is certainly arbi trary in its decisions, is, as Sir AIATTIIEW HALE ob serves, in truth and reality no law, but something in dulg, d rather than allowed as law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the only thing which can give it countenance, and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the King's Courts are open for all persons to receive jus tice according to the law of the land." In addition to these high authorities, let us add one of more modern times—a distinguished soldier, who has devoted his time to the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of everything relating to his profession, and who has put forward the soundest views with singular ability. Sir CHARLES JAMES NAriza says—" There ought to be a military code for peace and a military code for war. There is a peace establishment and a war esta blishment for most of the branches forming the mili tary system, and why not for military law." And again—" If the objects to be gained by military law in time of peace are, as I have said, different from those demanded in time of war, and if they are also of a gentler nature, and more approximate to those sought for by social law, and if the soldier's life is in peace very similar to the life led by a citizen, is it not natural to abate that rigour of the law which in war is necessary to attain the more urgent objects of obedience and sanguinary results ? I think reason tells us that this is both natural and wise." We shall for the present rest on the opinion of those eminent persons. We trust most sincerely that what we have said is sufficient to direct the public attention to a thorough investigation of the subject, and that the force of public opinion, when once fully awakened, will have the same deference paid to it by the military authorities, and will be as productive of a beneficial mitigation of this severity of the code, as it has recently been in respect to cor poral punishment. The following account of the revolution in Geneva appears in the Journal des Debuts : "On the evening of the 6th the inhabitants of the faubourg St. Gervais assembled and raised barricades at the bridges. In the morning the militia, with the deter mination of destroying them, fired about 200 cannon shot, which accomplished the desired object. After this the soldiery made attempts at two different points to enter and occupy the faubourg, but were received with a gall ing fire from almost every window. Each of the com mandants marched at the head of his regiment, and as nearly all of them were wounded, the retreat was beat, and the troops re-crossed the bridges. Still they re mained in possession of the lower town and the course of the Rhone, and the insurrection was confined to the fau bourg. In the night, however, the insurgents set fire to the bridges, and the inhabitants of the lower town, find ing that their safety was compromised, rose in their turn. At the same tirre the Radical auxiliaries of the canton of Vaud came in great force to the aid of the insurgents. The militia, thus threatened on all sides, began to waver, and at length yielded, and the Council of State gave in its resignation. By the even ing the arsenal and the principal public establishments were in the hands of the insurgents, who formed a Pro visional Government. The courage with which the colonels of the militia were the first to meet danger was ;awl to them. The families of the highest consideration of Geneva have to deplore losses; among these are Colonel Chateauvieux, an old officer of the Royal Guard, sad M. Ravie. The militia has lost several men killed, and many wounded. The loss of their opponents is not yet known, but it is believed that it cannot be very great, as they were well protected by their barricades. Whilst the tattle was going on between the Government troops and the insurgents, 2,000 men were marching from the canton of Vaud to the assistance of the latter; but the of tir having ended in the triumph of the in surgents, a messenger was dispatched to stop their advance." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1846. Madrid papers of the 6th and 7th have arrived, The Espanol gives the following as the substance of the note presented to M. Gurzor by Lord NOB MANBY on the subject of the Montpensier marriage:— "England, after having remarked upon the difference between her disinterested conduct in the negotiations, and the recent conduct of France, and the spirit of con ciliation and respect which she had shown towards France in the question, observes that by an indirect course the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier tends to create fears which the Ring of the French had ad mitted it would not be just to excite, by r enounc i ng a ll pretension to th e hand of the Queen of Spain for one of his sons. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Eng land then i ns i s t s upon t h e fact of the exclusion, as re gards the throne of Spain, which has been imposed upon the House of Orleans by the renunciation of Utrecht, and the stipulations of that treaty considered by it as forming an integral part of the public right of Europe, and proves in an explicit and ounelusive manner that, conformably with the stipulations of that treaty, the children of a Prince of the House of Orleans cannot reign in Spain. The note of Lord Palmerston is so ex plicit on this point that it asserts that the treaty leaves no doubt, and that although in conformity with its clauses there can be no doubt entertained on the subject, the English Government regards it as essential that no pretension shall be set up which at a later period might lead to an attempt to elude the guarantees pre sented by this treaty for the repose of Spain, the balance of power in Europe. England, relying on these considerations, declares that the descendants of the House of Orleans cannot, on any pretension, aspire to the succession in Spain, and states that these consi derations compel her to protest against the consequences of the marriage, which, on such conditions, would com plicate the relations, and injure the interests of the other powers. In conclusion, England applying to France the principle which she has invoked relative to Spain, in the protest addressed to our Government, declares that it is not a petty interest of' rivality which induces her to make these representations to the French Government, and that she considers the power, the grandeur, and the prosperity of France as one of the most essential ele ments of the balance of power in Europe ; but that France is already so great a nation, and her own re sources are so immense, that the augmentation which the would derive from the eventuality of rights acquired by a French prince to the throne of Spain can only tend to menace as to the future, and even now the repose and security of Europe." Senor ISTURITZ has replied to Mr. 13uLwEa's pro. test, but the nature of his reply has not transpired The French Princes entered Madrid on the Gth They were received quietly. No demonstration of any sort was made on their arrival. MADRID BOW, OCT. 6.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34% for cash; the Four per Cents., '21%; the Five per Cents., at 21%; the Passives,' at ; and the Coupons, 20%. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Presse contains the following official defence of the conduct of the French Government in regard to the Montpensier marriage : " While Sir Robert Peel was in office, Prange and England were in perfect harmony on the subject of the Spanish marriages. Putting aside all personal preten- sions, France agreed, and even proposed as the best ar rangement, that the two Spanish Princesses should be united to their two cousins, the sons of Don Francisco de Paulo, in which the British Cabinet agreed. This arrangement, however, was rendered impossible by one of these Spanish Princes breaking suddenly and scanda loualy with the Constitutional party. Then occurred those conversations at Eu of which so much has been said, in which the French Minister proposed the arrange. menu now carried into elect. Lord Aberdeen replied that he saw no objection, espccially (surtout) if the Queen should have an heir to the crown at the time of the solemnization of the marriage of the Inf an t a . Thi s was the position of thi ngs w h en Sir Robert Peel resigned. On the accession of Lord Palmerston, the French Cabinet ne cessarily put itself on its guard. It soon learned that Lord Palmerston, corresponding with Mr. Bulwer, was en deavouring to substitute a Prince of Coburg as a candi date absolutely on the same footing as the sons of Don Francisco. It was known that Mr. Bulwer had indi cated Don Henry as the proper husband of the Queen, and that England was doi ng a ll th at s h e could to bring to a conclusion a marriage with the Prince of Coburg, and that already the Spanish Cabinet, being reluctantly forced to adopt a course, gave ear to the propositions thus made to it. Under such circumstances, France was compelled to act, and how could she act otherwise than she has acted? She gave notice to England that the latter was departing from the course agreed upon, and receiving no answer, and knowing that the Coburg in trigue was still proceeding, she gave definite notice that she would hold herself free to act as might seem most conducive to her interests, and would marry the Duc de Montpensier either to the Queen or the Infanta. This communication, which dates so far back as last May, was followed by the proceedings the issue of which is now manifested. Such are the facts, the exactitude of which we defy the English Ministerial journals to dis prove, or to show that the French Government through. out this negotiation has exceeded the strictest limits of good faith. Let English diplomacy, caught in its own nets, cry out against a result which it might have pre vented by observing tie neutrality agreed on between the two Cabinets. Let it try to distort the facts, and to cast upon France the wrong of its own defeated du plicity. Nothing is more natural. Let the French Op position journals seek satisfaction in the clamours of the English press, and mingle in foreign declamations against us. Nothing, to our shame, is more enimon among us. But let any man of good faith and good sense, having the facts before him, say whether the con duct of England has not justified that of France ; even admitting, which we do not, that France has need to consult England in such a matter." We believe that this is one of those artfully com pounded mixtures of truth and falsehood in the con coction of which, from long habit, Lours PurrArrß surpasses any man living. For instance, it is true, we believe, that the Spanish marriage was the sub ject of :conversation at Eu between M. Guizor, Lord ABERDEEN, and Lours PHILIPPE, but it is not true that Lord ABERDEEN said he saw no objection to the Montpensier marriage, especially if the QUEEN should have an heir to the crown at the time of its solemnization. What Lord ABERDEEN did say was, that such an event wou'.d (not do away entirely with his oljections to the marriage, but) render it less oljectionuble. There is a vast deal of difference between " less oh- jectionable" and seeing "no objections." Again, it is not true that Lord PALMERSON or Mr. BULWER endeavoured to bring forward a Coburg candidate; but it is true that Queen CHRISTINA, acting upon the suggestions of the French Ambassador, endeavoured to prevail upon Mr. Bunwun and Lord PALMERSTON to propose a Coburg candidate, and that Mr. BULWER and Lord PALMERSTON refused. Again, the assertion about Don ENRIQUE is not true, for at the time of the conferences of Eu, Don ENRIQUE had not broken with the constitutional party in Spain (called constitutional, we presume, at lucus a non lutendo). But it is _ useless to unravel further this tangled skein, in which the slightest possible in • fusion of truth is made to colour oceans or falsehood. There is, however, one portion of thi3 article which is worthy of being remembered :—"Trance has given England notice that henceforth she will hold herself free to act as may seem most conducive to her in terests." Be it so; England then will do the same. In commenting on the article in the Presse of the day preceding, in which that organ of the Tuileries took upon itself to order Queen VICTORIA to choose for Ministers Tories who would not object to see a grandson of Louis PHILIPPE on the throne of Spain, the National says— " We are not under the necessity of remarking upon an antagonisine which expresses itself in terms so violent. Between the Whigs and Louis XIV. it was war, but in the historical events referred to by that paper, it omitted to cite the simple dates which corroborate the great guarantees of the treaty of peace signed at Utrecht. The date of that treaty is 1713 ; Louis XIV. died in 1715. In 1719 the war broke out again. Perhaps the Presse ought to have added that the principal author of this treaty (Bolingbroke) was compelled to fly to France to escape from the justice which threatened him in Eng land, and which accused his colleague, Lord Oxford, of high treason. All these recollections are of an irritating nature, and we can scarcely understand the imprudence which rouses them at a moment when the Whigs are more firm than ever." The KING has pardoned upwards of one hundred persons on the occasion of the marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. Among them are five of the ac- Comp Hoes Of QUENISSET. The Epoque contradicts the statement which ap peared in the papers of the day preceding, that a revolt had broken out in the 15th regiment of Light Infantry, stationed in Algeria. The price of flour fell on Saturday nearly 2f. per metrical quintal, at the &tile of Paris.: The Constitutionnel says— " The inquiries ordered by the Minister of Commerce fur the purpose of ascertaining the produce of the crops in the departments are now terminated. The Prefects have addressed to the Minister detailed reports, which are said to leave no doubt as to the extent of the evil. The greatest part of the central departments, and many of the western, have sadly suffered, and the working classes will be left without resources during the rigorous season, if the Government does not devise means of re lieving them. The Minister of Commerce, it appears, has concerted measures with his colleagues of the de partments of the Interior and Public Works, which, it is hoped, will have the effect of reassuring the popula tion. Several Deputies have recommended the Admi nistration to give labour to the people, and open cha ritable establishments, in which the old an infirm, unable to earn their bread, should be admitted during the winter. The Government, we are informed, has acceded to those demands, and approved various works proposed by the local authorities." The Illoniteur contains the following telegraphic dispatch, dated Marseilles, 10th instant : " Therapia, Sept. 28. " Reschid Pacha Is appointed Grand Vizier. Ali Effendi succeeds Reschid Pacha as Minister for Foreign Affairs." The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 82f. 70c.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evedis.) IN RE, G. B. wAßswonTu. This bankrupt, who had carried on business in part nership with two other persons, as surgeons, &c., in Broad-street, Golden-square, came up for his certificate. The bankrupt's debts amounted to 1,800/., and the assets were very trilling, on which ground Mr. Law rence opposed. The bankrupt had disposed of his share in the business, but his explanations of that transaction were very unsatisfactory. The bankrupt had reserved one-half of the profits, but was to rejoin the firm. The Learned CommissioNEß—Do you mean to swear that you do not expect to go back to the same business again and share the profits? Bankrupt—l swear Ido not. ' The Learned COM3IISSIONER — Not in expectancy, even? Bankrupt—l do not. I swear Ido not. The bankrupt, on further examination, said that his name was still retained on the door-plate. The same books were kept. The Learned COMMISSIONER—It has been set out in the papers that you are entitled to money—a consider. able sum. Are you prepared to make some proposition to your creditors ? Bankrupt—l have no means. The Learned CommisstoNna---You appear to have sacrificed your creditors altogether, and therefore I should be fully justified in suspending your certificate for a year. I will, however, give you one day to con sider your predicament. I wish to convince you and others that persons shall not make themselves bankrupt, and dissolve partnership, and then return back. If per sons fancy they can do so with impunity, they will find themselves very much mistaken. I will adjourn the hearing till to-morrow, to see if you are inclined to make a reasonable offer, to your creditors. I have no doubt you have the means. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a bench of Ma gistrates.) Sarah Roberts, 16, and Eliza ins(licted for stealing a coral neck , hi, tli E liza s int/171167, wareag ed lace, value Bs., t h e property of Edwin Tillott, from the person of Elizabeth Tillott. It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Tillott kept a confeetionor's shop. The prisoners came in and bought some sweetmeats, and while one of them was paying for them, the others took the necklace from the child's neck, and they all went away. They were followed and ac cused of the robbery, and at the same time told that if they would speak the truth and give up the necklace, they would be forgiven. They declared that they were innocent, and Mr. Tillott gave them into custody. A young woman produced the necklace, which she picked up immediately after the she saw one of the prisoners drop it. The jury found them Guilty.—They were sentenced to one month's hinprisoument, ten days of which were to be solitary. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Ann Veale, a meanly attired middle-aged woman, was charged by John Kinnor, a labourer, re siding at Isaac's-place, Somers-town, with robbing him of two shillings. Prosecutor stated that he met the prisoner between three and four o'clock in the morning, who asked him if he thought there was any hope of getting a drop of drink, to which be answered " No," when she suggested that they should go to a coffee-shop in the New. road, and whilst on the way thither he felt the prisoner's hand in his pocket and seized it, but certainly did not find any money, although he afterwards missed two shillings, and consequently gave her in charge. The female searcher at the station-house deposed to finding a canvass bag in prisoner's bosom containing 281. in gold. Prisoner, in reply to Mr. RAWLINSON, said he was a washerwoman, and worked very hard, and her sister having told the Bench that she knew of the prisoner's having hoarded the money, she was discharged. . - I CLER KENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged woman, named Mary Ann South, was charged with stealing a valuable china tea-service, two silver spoons, a gallon of whisky, and several bottles of wine and rum, the property of Mr. Hunter, of 42, Myd dleton-square. It appeared from the evidence that Rfr. Hunter and his family left England for France about the latter end of the summer, and did net return until last Thursday. During th e i nterval the prisoner was left in charge of the hou se i n Myddleton quare, and on Mrs. Hunter's return she mi sse d the tea-service and spoons, and sub sequently, upon another search, it was found that a quantity o f w i ne and spirits had been taken away from the cellar. s Two of the detective police of the G division proved having taken the prisoner into custody at her lodgings in Tabernacle-walk, Where they found the greater por tion of the tea-service on a shelf in the room. She said the things were her own. Mr. Hunter, however, identified the whole of the articles, and the prisoner, who declined saying anything in her defence, was committed for trial. ceiDvoutuhßaty-or;ArNßanTticiiipEaAtrot --- Bishop, in Balf e ' s opera, the Maid if Artois, are realised to the fullest e x t ent , and that her finished style of sing mus.c, but which is manifest from the by the public, res en- We are happy to per ions is not only appreciated by pe a c l t l in r g eal M a a i d u a a m te e ur A s ni c i i a f i thustastic manner sh e i s encored in several p i eces of the opera nightly.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000 to 10,000 bales, at full prices, including 3,000 American on speculation. The business consisted of 600 Pernams and Maranhams at gid. to 74d. ; 400 13.11iia at Gid. to 61d. ; 6OO Egyptian at Cid. to 7d. ; 800 Surat (500 on speculation) at 3id. to 44d., and the remainder American at sd. to bid. There are very general doubts entertained in the City as to the authenticity of the news received, or said to be received, vin Havre and Paris, of a treaty of peace hav ing been signed between the United States and Mexico. However, a temporary purpose has been served by the advance in the price of Mexican Bonds. Had such an important event really occurred, it is con sidered very improbable that the intelligence would have come by such a route. It Need hardly be remarked, that the extremest anxiety is expressed here to have the fact represented fully confirmed. It is hardly a useful occupation of space, to enter at present upon the question of the policy of the Mexican Government to change their Charge d'Affaires cr their provincial agents here. It is true Mr. Murphy is an able and intelligent man, courteous at all times ; but still with alterations at the seat of the Government of the Republic, variations in agents may be looked for. The Mexican Ministers have played so many pranks to the injury of the foreign creditors of the republic, that it were a vain hope to anticipate much fixity of purpose, as the mere quibbles can Le raised the more delay is obtained in paying past, and rapidly increasing accumulations of obligations. In the private advises received from New Zealand this morning there is very little information beyond that already made public. There was an increasing demand for labourers. Money was scarce. The payment of the half-yearly dividends has not yet had any sensible influence upon the rate of interest. Exchequer-bills have declined a trifle to-day. Consdls for Aceount remain at about 95i, and for private transfer at 951 f. Some bargains have been made in India Bonds at 255. premium, in Bank Stock at 206, and in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at a fall to 96, ex dividend. There bas not been a single bargain reported in Spanish Stocks up to this hour, nor for Portuguese. Mexican Five per Cents. have fallen to 23i 4 ; Brazilian Bonds are at 851; Grenada at 21; Venezuela at 414 ; and Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates at 914 The Railway Share Market is not very brisk to-day. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock ...... . . ....... ..... 206 ex div 206 3 per Cent.
