We need not here enter into the question whether a gift to the State from a private individual binds, or should bind, the State to perpetual observance of his will ; here the founder is the head o the nation, acting in a public capacity It was for the national benefit that Queen ELIZABETH consecrated Trinity College to the ad vancement of the Protestant religion ; and succeeding Sovereigns have followed her in tying up its honours and emoluments to the believers in that one form of Christianity which they have sought to thrust upon Ireland—how vainly, is known to all the world. It has now come to be generally admitted that the Pro testant religion has suffered in Ireland by all the forcing which has been used, and that the interests of true religion dc. not require exclusive seminaries of education. Is Queen ELIZABETH'S intention then to prevent us from applying the wisdom, bought by the experience of two centuries and a half, to legislation for Ireland ? While the genius of Protestanism in Dublin for mally excludes a Roman Catholic from a scholarship, Protestant Oxford is at its wits-end to prevent a Roman Catholic in everything but name from scan dalizing her Protestant pulpit. Dr. Pussy's period of suspension from preaching before the University of Oxford has expired; and on the Ist of Febuary he is to preach the University sermon. Dr. PUSSY has not gone over to the Roman Catholic Church, as Mr. NEWMAN, Mr. WARD, Mr. FABER, and Mr. OAICACLET have done ; but can Protestant Oxford, can the Church of England, in which Dr. PUSEY holds the dignity of a canon, do nothing to prevent him from continuing to preach from her pul pits doctrines whose tendency is proved (if it requires proof) by the many conversions among his followers. " That the doctrines I taught at Elton," writes one of these converts, Mr. FABER, on the 9th of last month, to Mr. GEORGE ROBINSON, Rector of Cran ford, " which were what is vulgarly called Puseyism, were Roman, I entertain no doubt, but I was not aware of it myself. Other parties who condemned Puseyism es Roman were more clear-sighted." And again— " I do most fully confess, that in my judgment sub mission to the Roman Church is the legitimate and only consistent end of Puseyism." Dr. Pussy is now engaged in editing a series of Jesuit writers, in the preface to the first of which (Sums) he expresses " his sense of the great value of the practical hints, and temperate and thoughtful cautions" —in what book does the reader think ?- •" in Mr. WARD'S recent book on our existing practical corruptions"—the book for which Oxford degraded Mr. WARD from his degree, and which out raged all English Protestant feeling by its abuse of the Reformation. And this Dr. Pussy is Canon of Christ Church, and a Professor of the University of Oxford, and is to mou n t th e U n i vers i ty pu l p i t on the Ist of next month ! Where is the Bishop of OXFORD ? Or is there is a Bishop of Oxford ? In accordance with that death movement among ;he agriculturists, to which we particularly alluded n our last, a rather important demonstration was made on Monday in the public assembly-rooms in St. James's-street. Animated with a sense of recklessness, and spurred on by a knowledge of their critical and precarious position, these earth -property orators, or, to use still more appropriate language, these mouth- pieces of a despairing land-proprietorship, are becoming each successive day more violent in their vituperations upon the League, more virulent in their sarcasm, more resolute in their assumptions, more lavish of their rhetorical and statistical so phistry. No statement is too palpably insufficient fir their utterance ; no allusion is too hackneyed for their application of it to themselves ; no facts are too meagre and flimsy as a foundation to their num. berless and monstrous theories. 'With particular reference to the Chairman of this meeting in the metropolis, namely, his Grace the Duke of Iticu- MOND, we shall content ourselves with remarking that his reasonings appear to be as sincere as they are decidedly unstable—that his earnestness is only surpassed by the paucity and inefficacy of his propositions. Lord BEAUMONT, however, demands a most remarkable scrutiny : his metaphors are of such enormous compass, his deductions are so extrava gantly irrational, and his whole view of the question at issue is so distorted an 4 be -patched. Surely no imagination but his Lordship's could embrace the possibility of our representative (on some remote oc casion subsequent to the abolition of the corn-laws) " bending in lowly guise at the foot of the American President, and begging of him in mercy to spare the English a little bread, because (forsooth !) of a scarcity in England coincident with a scarcity throughout Europe." A Imirable sagacity of de ' duction ! Most incontrovertible of positions! Thus, according to the insinuations of his Lordship; the he mispheres are occupied simply by the American and European continents. Lord BEAUMONT would, by the movement of his lips, tacitly annihilate all Asiatic and African territories, besides submerging by a ne • gative the whole of Australia and the bulk of our colonial possessions. A more vague figure of speech can scarcely be conceived, or one more audaciously beyond the swallowing powers of common sense ; and yet, so greatly did the wishes o the auditors preponderate over their reasoning facul ties, that the supposition was greeted. with the mos hearty and vehement applause. In the declaration however, which followed immediately afterward: the noble speaker surpassed even himself. " He understood protection to mean such a system of legislation as would secure an abundant supply to the consumer; in fact, give the consumer as much as possible, consistently with a fair price to the pro ducer." There is an infinite amount of plausibility in this definition of " protection"— admirably accurate as a summary of what protection ought to be—but most wonderfully visionary as a portraiture of what it is. The " protection " which in reality arouses the ad miration of Lord BEAUMONT, is protection to the pro ducer exclusively, bile the consumer, with exquisite impartiality, is left to shift for himself, under a kind of impotent self•protection. Such are a few of the fragmentary monstrosities which float in myriads along the gurgite vasto of such speeches as the one uttered by my Lord BEAUMONT. As indications of the political hurricane which is about to extinguish for ever these agricultural mo nopolists, they are interesting enough ; but, as sen sible and manly arguments against their opponents, they are worse than untenable—they are prepos terous. They at once afford to the members of the League a subject for the smile of self-assurance and the laughter of derision. We have received Madrid journals of the sth, with he report of the discussion on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies, the result of which we gave yesterday, RE communicated by a telegraphic dispatch to Paris. The only part in the debate of the slightest interest is the speech of General NARVAEZ. In reply to charges made by Senhors SEIJAS and Hoz, he said it was no fault of the Government that the negotia tions with Rome had not been brought to a favourable conclusion. The Government had, throughout the whole business, neglected neither the interests of the nation nor the privileges of the Crown. "It has been asserted," continued he, "that the QUEEN was not re cognised by the POPE, but I declare that the relations between the two Sovereigns are most friendly, and that the Spanish Envoy in Rome is highly re spected, and treated as the Minister Plenipo tentiary of the Queen of SPAIN. Her MAaESTY has even in her possession letters from his HOLINESS who calls her his most beloved daughter.' The settlement of the dotation of the clergy alone prevents her formal recognition by the Holy See. With re gard to the marriage question, the QUEEN had not yet expressed any desire on the subject, and that when her MAJESTY should think proper to make a choice, the Ministers would hasten to inform the Cortes of her resolution." The amendment was rejected by a majority of 117 to 33, which shows that NARVAEZ has the complete control of the Chamber. The Three per Cents. closed at 35i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23i for the 23d inst. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the busi ness before the two Chambers. At the close of the debate in the Peers, on Saturday, M. GUIZOT was ex pected to reply to the speeches of Baron DEPIII and the Count MONTALEUBERT, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, he deferred his remarks till Monday. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies, in Committee, ex amined the extraordinary and supplementary credits for 1845 and 1846, which, after certain reductions, amount to 29,000,000 f. for the two years. The chief increase has been caused by additional rein forcements for Algiers. For the expenses of the fleet on the River Plata, the operations against the slave trade and Madagascar, the Minister of Marine demands 8,000,000 f., and for the losses by the fire at Toulon, 3,165,000 f. The credits re quired by the other departments are not large. In the Committee on the Address M. VITET read the draft to be laid before the Cham ber on Monday, when M. ST. Melte- GIRARDIN pro posed an amendment, to the effect that the Govern ment had shown an absence of foresight in the late events in Algeria, but the whole of the other members of the Committee were opposed to it, and the amend ment consequently was rejected. Several public documents of great importance had been laid before the Chamber by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Among others, two letters from M. GUIZOT to the French Ministers at London and Washington, rela tive to the annexation of Texas. From these, which we subjoin, it will be seen that the French Govern ment was extremely averse to the annexation, and also views with strong jealousy the encroachments of the United States on the side of Mexico. No Mini ster who regarded the interests of France, and the proper balance of power in the new world, could take any other view of the deceitful and outrageous ma chinations at work in that quarter. The following communirtations from M. GUIZOT on the subject will be read with interest : " TEX AS.—No. 7. " 111. GUIZOT TO COUNT DE SAINTE AULAIRE. " Paris, Jan. 20, 1844. " Monsieur le Comte,--Lord Cowley has read to me a dispatch, written to him by Lord Aberdeen, on the pro ject formed at Washington, of preparing the annexation of Texas to the United States' Confederacy. The prin cipal Secretary for Foreign Affairs expresses in that dis patch the wish to know if the King's Government be disposed to providing its Envoy to the United States with instructions similar to those which the Britannic Envoy will receive to manifest the opposition of his Government to such a project. You may announce to Lord Aberdeen that I shall write to the same effect to M. Pageot. Texas having been acknowledged as inde pendent by several of the great Powers, and particularly by that which now seems to absorb it, it is evident that we have a right to appreciate the act which would annihilate that independence, and to urge the objections to which it may give rise, as respects either right or interests. Those objections are numerous. It is known that even in the United States the wish for the annexa tion in question is far from being unanimous. If the slave states are very anxious for it, in order to subject to a system of customs' duties by which they are bound a coun try whose commercial competition they dread, and, above all, to secure to themselves, by the acquisition of an ally, a preponderance in the confederacy, the other states would, by a natural consequence, view it ‘v ith extreme repugnance, and though it behoves us not to meddle with that internal contention, the consideration on which it rests is certainly not of a nature to make us lean to the side of the partisans of the annexation. Our direct in formation from l'exas seems, besides, to prove that the majority of the Texian people are contrary to it, and ►hat the thought of it is energetically rejected by the existing Government. It is, therefore, only by the aid of violence, more or less avowed, or more or less dis guised, that it could be accomplished; and, I repeat it, it would in no respect suit us to accept such a change without opposition." "M. GUIZOT TO M. PAGEOT. " 10(h February, 1844. " Sir,—l have received the dispatches you have ad dressed me unto No. 36, and the date of the 28th of De cember last. " What President Tyler's Message has disclosed, re specting the projects of the Federal Government, re garding the annexation of Texas to the United States, and what you have written to me about, it could not fail to attract my serious attention. That of the London Cabinet is not less excited as to this question, as you will find by the accompanying copy of a dispatch I ad dressed on the 29th of January to Count de St. Aulaire, in consequence of a communication made to me by Lord Aberdeen, through the medium of Lord Cowley. This communication referred to the opposition which the English Government proposed offering to any project of incorporating Texas with the Confederacy's territory, as well as to the instructions to be forwarded to Mr. Pakt n ham, Load Aberdeen having wished to know whether he had the same intentions, I have desired Count de Sainte Aulaire to inform him that you would receive similar instructions. " The last reports from the French Legation in Texas, whilst telling me of the efforts of the Wash ington Government and its representatives at Anastin, to prepare the annexation, represented President noun ton as energetically opposed to any arrangement of that description, and protesting that nothing of the kind should take place so long sis .he should direct affairs. The language held here by M. Ashol Smith is not less explicit. Nevertheless, it behoves us to know whether both faithfully express the opinion and wishes of Texas, and whether the question of the annexation to the States of the confederacy, if agitated in the Texian Cangress, would not be affirmatively resolved on there. That annexation would be lawfully justifiable, but in the event of its being voluntary, and not the result of thed with r resist ance s u violence on the part of the United ov S e ta a t i e l s , States—and a an s c w e e o l f t a th s e w m ith ajt E ir n it g y of England, it he Texian people to the accom plishment of such a project, that the opposition we should manifest would be founded. But, I shall add, that even should the annexation be voluntary and freely assented to on the part of Texas, considerations, both political and commercial, would not permit us to view it with indifference ; and that, under all circumstances, we must wish that that country remain independent. " In a political point of view a real interest of equi librium is connected with the preservation of that lode • pendence. The annexation of Texas, by extending the United States' territory to the Rio Grande, would yield the immediate consequence of bringing them in contact with Mexico, that is to say, afford them the means of invading and encroaching upon that country whenever they pleased. Now, it cannot suit us to see that barrier fall ; everything leads us to desire that a confederacy as powerful as that of the United States remain at a dis tance from the Ifexican frontier, by the interposition of a state, also formed, it is true, of an Anglo-Saxon race, but still, and for a long time to come, feeble enough not to justify the same fears, whilst it would still sufficiently fulfil its destination of opposing the invasions of that confederacy. "In a commercial point of view we have also reasons for desiring the maintenance of the independence of Texas. Futurity has chances which we must not lose sight of ; and, from this moment, we might find in the Texas colonists a progressive element of exportation, and, above all, a real aliment for our direct navigation, an advantage which we have not, and can scarcely expect from the United States. " Lastly, Sir, for the very reason that France has been.the first of the European Powers to acknowledge the independence of Texas, and to connect itself with that Republic by a treaty of unity and commerce, does it not, as it were, behove our dignity to see that what we have so solemnly acknowledged be respected and preserved? " From all these considerations we must be naturally contrary to any project tending to the absorption of Texas by the United states. I know not what the tenor may be a the instructions sent from London to Mr. Pakenham, and consequently how far the English Cabinet intends carrying the manifestation and conse quences of its opposition; but I say enough as concerns us not to let you be mistaken as to the attitude you are to assume, and the language you are to hold. We manifest our opposition to any violent and forced annexa tion of Texas to the United States, and even should that Republic spontaneously pronounce itself, as the journals' news announce, you would still have to express yourself in such way as to make it known and well recorded by the federal Government, that we cannot behold with in difference such an occurrence; and, in the event of its taking place, we could not dispense with very expressly making every lawful reserve as to the alterations that would result in the position and advantages oar treaty with the Texian Republic has yielded us in that country. I, however, confide in your judgment and experience, and you will, besides, be enabled to come to an under standing with Mr. Pakenham as to this object, which is common to the two legations."

The accident on the Rouen and Havre Railway, of which a description is annexed, caused a great sensation in Paris on Monday. The Barentin Via duct, which is now a heap of ruins, was a splendid work of art, and its fate is universally regretted. The effect of its destruction will be to postpone the open ing of the Havre Railway probably to the end of the year. Lord Brougham arrived in Paris on Sunday from Cannes. The Noble Lord is on his way to London. The contents of the Paris papers are not important. FALL OF THE GREAT VIADUCT OF BAREN TIN, ON"THE ROUEN AND HAVRE RAIL WAY. The Rouen journals of yesterday give the following account of the giving way of the viaduct of Barentin, on the Rouen and Havre line of railroad. On Friday, at about six o'clock in the morning, a tremendous rumbling sound, which was heard as far as Pavilly, near three-quarters of a league from the spot where it originated, awoke the inhabitants of Ba rentin. It arose from the falling of twenty-eight of the pillars which supported the viaduct, which rose more than 100 feet above the level of the ground. The people hastened in a mass to the scene of the disaster, fully apprehending that many lives had been lost. Happily, however, they were soon satisfied that this was not the case, and that the viaduct alone was the sufferer. The piers and other of the ruins were piled one upon the other, and fortunately in such a direction that the only other building touched by the fall was a corn mill on the River Sainte Auslreberthe, and this was thrown down. There was one of the miller's men in the mill, but he heard the noise in time to shelter himself under a main beam, and when drawn from under the ruins he had received no other hurt than a slight wound on one of his fingers. The mill, with its machinery, was completely crushed. It had been purchased by the railroad company. The course of the river, which passed under the viaduct, was diverted, and its waters turned over the adjoining lands. The now fall. n viaduct was commenced in the spring of 1844, since which time from 200 to 300 men have been employed upon it, and was so nearly finished, that not more than forty were still at work. This was a colossal structure, formed upon 27 arches, each of 150 feet span, formed of brick-work, as well as the pillars, on socles of stone. Its entire length was about 500 yards, and now scarcely any portion of it remains standing. The cause of this vast destruction cannot be ascertained; but it is attributed to the use of bad materials. The loss is esti mated at 1,300,0001. At the first news of the event, the prefect of the department went to the spot, and passed nearly the whole day in making inquiries and giving the necessary directions. _ (From the Debatt) A serious accident, which might have occasioned very fatal consequences, but which luckily has not been at tended with any loss of life, has just occurred on the works of the Rouen and Havre Railway. The great viaduct across the valley of Barentin suddenly fell in on Saturday morning, between five and six o'clock. By the greatest good f3rtune, and on account of the earliness of the hour, very few workmen were yet on the line, and none were injured. The elec tric telegraph brought the news to Paris on Saturday, Mr. Locke, the engineer of the Company, one of the administrators and contractors, and the head of the works, went instantly from Paris to Rouen and Baren tin. The accident, to all appearance, will have none of the serious consequences at first anticipated from it. The manager publishes the following note from Mr. Locke, which contains that gentleman's first notions re specting the cause of the disaster, and which is to be followed by a more detailed report : " At present it is impossibis to determine the precise causes of this disaster. The arch which first fell was that on which the ballast was placed. Its fall may possibly have been caused by the inequality of the lading, the weight of ballast lying more on one side than on the other of the arch. The giving way of the latter may have oc casioned the falling in of the rest of the construction. " The late thaw, by which the mortar was softened, and the solidity of the arch diminished, and the unequal distribution of the ballast at the same time, may have destroyed the equilibrium of the whole. "No one was hurt. The repairs will be commenced immediately. The accident will cause the contractors a loss of 500,000 or 600,0001., and will occasion two or three months' delay in the opening of the line." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS (From T/l Sun of lAA Night.) There was a very firm market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. Sales 6,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation. Prices were very firmly maintained, and in some instanceS higher. A large business was done in shares, but scrip was generally lower. The movement in the commercial markets is not very decided, but for to• morrow a good many sales are declared, and the dealers who have become low iri stock, as usual when the year is commencing, are now compelled, from the increasing demand for consumption, to come into the market as buyers. The deliveries, therefore, from the London ware houses are increasing considerably. Custom-house man agemen t, or rat h er m i s-management, is pretty well understood, and it is astonishing that the frequency of complaint had not long ere this more effect upon the Board. Better late than never, however, is a con solitary saying, and it is hoped that the appointment of additional superintendents just made will tend to facilitate business at the docks, and serve as a protection to the fair trader into the bargain; for what with delays and duties, the penchant for smuggling is not very difficult to account for; in fact, smugglers might teach a useful lesson on the quick delivery system.

They are nearly all of Anglo. Saxon race ; they consider themselves too weak yet to stand alone, and they, therefore, coalesce with their strongest neighbour, to whom they are bound by so many affinities and interests. The acc,mplishment of this nefarious trans action was effected by deep and selfish cunning, and its astonishing success, as well as the very humiliation of England and France, which had been so egregiously duped, have emboldened the rulers of the United States to put forth higher pretensions, and to claim the sole right of managing affairs in the New World. M. GUIZOT expresses his just appre hensions at seeing the overgrown republic extending its frontier to the Rio Grande, and thereby coming into immediate contact with Mexico ; for it was the wish of the French Government that a powerful state should be created in that quarter, with a view to protect Mexico against further encroachments. But in that he has been disappointed, and he, therefore, candidly declares that " the French Government cannot behold such an occurrence with indifference." LOUIS PHILIPPE and his Ministers would be hopelessly blind if they did, for the uncontrolled dominion of the American Republic in the New World would be as dangerous to France as the uncontrolled dominion of Russia or Austria, or England in Europe. But if such were the feelings of the French Cabinet twelve months ago, what are they now, when POLY, with the most reckless daring, has defied all the European Powers, and forbidden them either to establish colonies in the northern hemi sphere, or interfere in any way whatever with the policy of the United States ? It is only sur prising that a bond of union has not already been formed by these states, and a r►aani£esto issued, pro testing, in the strongest terms, against such lawless as sumption. America is now only ten or twelve days' sail from Europe; it is connected with many of the States by the closest ties of commerce, policy, and other in• terests ; it must always have a great influence on the affairs of England, France, Prussia, and Russia, and can they submit tamely to be interdicted from using their influence in turn ? But the affair requires no discussion. Every careful observer can see that the object of POLE and his party is continued encroach ment and additional conquests. General Cass, who seems to be the favorite orator of the Senate, and the right-hand man of the PRESIDENT, openly declared in that assembly that "he would go for all future extensions of our general area, where they could be rightfully made (witness Texas). There was nothing to fear from the extension of our borders," and then he broke out in violent language against Great Britain, and after such admissions about extending their "general area," grievously complained that they " had been charged as an ambitious and grasping nation." No European State would now dare to make use of such flimsy pretexts for universal dominion, and for the good of the people themselves they must be un deceived. They are still sadly deficient in civiliza tion an in many of the primary virtues necessary to consolidate a great state. They require, therefore, for some time longer the European schoolmaster to teach them the distinctions between meum and ilium, to teach them that honesty is the best policy, that ,hey should pay off their old scores before they con ;rad new debts, and that England and France w not stand by idle while they are extending their "general area" to the Isthmus of Panama. The visitors of Trinity College, Dublin, have dis missed the appeal of the Roman Catholic student seeking admission to one of the scholarships of the College. They could do no otherwise. It was their part to interpret the existing statutes of the College; and the published opinion of their legal assessor (Judge KEATINGE), must satisfy every one that the scholarships and fellowships of Trinity College, Dub lin, are confined by the statutes to Protestants. That is the law. The visitors cannot alter it. But other parties can. And the next question is, should it not be altered ? In Belfast, Galway, and Cork, a Conservative Go vernment has planted three colleges, in which Pro testant and Catholic students are to mingle on equal terms, and all posts of honour and emolument are to be open equally to members of any Christian per suasion. Can it be said . of religious equality that it is a good thirg in Belfast and a bad thing in Dublin ? Sir R. PEEL has given a Roman Catholic president to one of the new colleges. But, while the very highest academical post is thus to be filled by a Roman Catholic clergyman in Cork, the very lowest place in the foundation of Trinity College, Dublin, is inaccessible to a Roman Cltholic. Where is the con sistency or common sense of this ? Oh ! but it may be said that the very establishment of these three unsectarian colleges in Ireland takes away from the Roman Catholic all ground of com plaint at exclusion from Trinity College. So it has l'een said that, since the establishment of the Uni versity of London, the English Dissenters have no reason to complain of exclusion from Oxford and Cambridge. But new colleges do not enter the race on equal terms with others of ancient name, hallowed by innumerable associations, and fortified by wealth and privileges accumulated through centuries ; and if the Roman Catholics of Ireland wish for a proof of this, they have only to look at the University of Lon don, still struggling against prejudices, and having re ceived to this day no aid which is worthy to be men tioned from the Government, in its arduous competi tion with the time-honoured and richly-endowed Universitie s of Oxford and Cambridge. But, after all, this is not a question of whether Roman Catholics and Dissenters complain or not, but whether unsectarian colleges are benefits, and ex clusive colleges, evils or not. That unsectarian col leges are benefits, and exclusive colleges evils, was the principle of last year's Irish Colleges Bill. This is an intelligible principle. To continue to coddle and nurse an exclusive college in Dublin, is to tamper with this principle. If colleges should beunsecta rian, Trinity College , Dublin , should be made un sectarian also. This is not a case in which compro mise or compensation is admissible. We presume that Ireland is not to be legislated for on the principle , that she must have some of both—some rligious It will be seen from two dispatches addressed by M. GUIZOT to the French Ministers at London and Wash ington, published in another part of The Sun, that the Government of Louts PHILIPPE has been for some time convinced that the annexation of Texas to the United States' . is fraught with great danger to France as well as to England. We never had any doubt as to the view which the KING and his sagacious Minister would take of such a wanton aggression, but, owing to the hostile feeling displayed towards this country by a certain portion of the Paris press, and their sympathy for the encroaching Americans, we hardly expected that their convictions would be expressed in such strong and unequivocal language. By acknow ledging the independence of Texas, the French Go vernment conceived that they had, to a certain extent, established a barrier between the United States and the defenceless republic of Mexico, and hoped that in time a state would grow up sufficiently strong to ward off further encroachments. But in this they mere com pletely deceived and literally " taken in." A regular plot had been formed between the chief men of the new, independent, and free, republic of Texas and the TIMERS and FOLKS to disarm all opposition to the annexation on the part of other powers. The Texian chiefs professed their sole object was independence, and all they required from England and France was to recognise the territory as an independent state; and no sooner did they lead these two powers into the snare than they carried out the plan concocted in the United States, and joined that republic. Of course no country had a right to object to the mea sure. The Texians were free, and might do what IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN. We have received the Madrid papers of the sth and 6th inst. The Government had taken great offence at the manifesto of the Infante Don Enrico, and the young Prince had received orders to leave Madrid within forty-eight hours. Passports were sent him for the Ferool, where the ship of which he has the command is now lying; and it isAtated in the E'eo del Commercio that on his arrival - There he will find further orders, which will give him the pleasure of a trip to the Philippine Islands or some other distant rgicm.

STOCKHOLM, Dm. 31.—The new Trollhatta Canal is completed, and the improvement that has been effected is infinitely great ; an official report states that this happy result is entirely owing to the extraordinary skill of Lieut. Colonel Erickson, the celebrated en gineer. GOTHENBERG, DEC. 31.—We hear from Stockholm that the qui stion of private banks has been discussed in the Council, and that the Government has come to the resolution that a new charter shall not be giv*-n to any private bank which will not agree, Ist, to just respon sibility, and, 2d, to issue no note of less value than 6 rix dollars 32 schillings. FROM THURINGER, IN DECEMBER.—Persons about the Court of Wiemar affirm that the Princess Maria Louisa of Prussia, daughter of Prince Charles, (now 17 years of age) may be considered as the affianced bride of Prince Frederick of Hesse. The Emperor of Russia is supposed to have had some share in the negotiation. BERLIN, JAN. 3.—Our papers publish the list, which they state to be derived from authentic sources, of the Deputies appointed by the several German Governments to go to Berlin, and to take part in the " Protestant Conference," to be held there. We do not find that any Deputy is appointed for the kingdom of Saxony. A South German paper says, that the Conference of the Zollverein, which was to be shortly held at Berlin, is again delayed, because the questions to be discussed are not sufficiently prepared. Besides the duties on yarn ano linen, the Conference will have before it the pealing negotiations with Brazil, Holland, and the Hanseatic cities. BERLIN, JAN. 4.—The important intelligence has just been spread, that on the 30th of December a conspiracy was discovered at Thorn, which was to have broken out on the 31st, in West Prussia, Posen, and Russian Yolard. The intention of the conspirators is said to have been tew get possession of Granden* and Thorni especially the latter. The news has excited the greatest astonishment, and no small bustle in the public offices. The 7th and 21st Regiments of Infantry, the Ist of Hulans, and a battery of Artillery, are ordered to proceed with all haste to Thorn, to reinforce the garrison. Thorn and Grandenz are declared in a state of seige. (?) Though it is presumed that no fears are now entertained re specting the tranquillity of the Prussian Provinces, we do not know what is passing in the kingdom of Poland, from which news is expected every hour.—Humburyh Papers, Jan. 9.
