The heavy and apparently massive character of its architecture already contrasts vilely with the florid and graCeful Gothic of the new Par- liament llouses. This, indeed, wouldbe more apparent on the completion of those beautiful and magnificent edifices, and especially on the erection of the Victoria Tower. The ornamental elaboration which imparts so much of elegance and splendour to these recent . structures, would inevitably and in truth have already rendered the bridge a most undesirable foil, beyond which the latter accumulation of stone materially interferes with the view of one of the most costly public buildings of recent production. A notification, dated Nov. 10, 1846, and issued from Whitehall, by order of the Commissioners of her MAJESTY'S Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works, and Buildings, contains the gratifying announcement of the intention of those Commissioners to take this long-vexed question into their own hands, and, with the assistance of Imperial Parliament, to make the desired alterations. It is proposed, in this notifi cation, that the existing bridge be pulled down and removed, and that the materials, properties, effects, funds, securities, stocks, and estates thereunto apper taining, be sold. Any arrangement that would e tree tually conduce to the annihilation of this execrable fabric, anything that would remove from the surface and bed of the river such an atrocious and continual remembrancer of so profligate an expenditure of the national moneys ; anything that would so relieve the Palace at Westminster of such an unseemly and in commodious neighbour, will, we are confident, be wel comed with exultation by the population of this me tropolis. The site proposed for the new bridge is as follows :—Across the River Thames from, or from near the eastern end of Whitehall-place to the south bank or shore in the parish of St. Mary, Lam beth, in the county of Surrey. By this excellent suggestion, a more suitable angle of the Rh er will be spanned, the Parliament Houses will be relieved from an intolerable associate, the capital will be wonderfully improved and beautified, and the general convenience be more particularly consulted. New streets will severally connect the proposed bridge with the south- east side of Charing-cross, and with the north side of the York-road, thereby opening a direct line of communication between Pall-mall and the Waterloo-road. With reference to the expense thereby entailed upon the Exchequer, it will be a matter of secondary consideration, inasmuch as any alteration of the kind, however immediately costly, would ultimatel3 prove economical. However much the change of si tuation in the bridge connecting Westminster with Lambeth, may augur calamities to trade among the Surrey shopkeepers, it cannot be forgotten that ample time is afforded them for any suitable arrangement. We are rejoiced at this de termination on the part of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ; it will destroy an abortive effort in the architecture of bridges, and materially benefit the appearance and convenience of London. The English are a peculiarly jealous people of their rights and privileges. Their devotion to the Throne, innate sense of loyalty, love of order, respect for the law, and profound admiration for their Constitution, are not only axiomatic truths in the mind of every native of our own land, but are likewise political data, the first and most easily observed and recognised by every foreigner who has ever visited our shores, or written upon our history and character. So deeply seated, indeed, is the patriotic attachment of the Englishman to the institutions of his country, and their several incidents—such his enthusiastic ardour for the vast political fabric under which his ancestors, time out of mind, have realised social blessings and immunities, and handed down, unimpaired, to be cumulatively developed by the enlightened wisdom of every succeeding age—that the intensity of his enthusiasm has frequently ope rated as a serious hindrance to the progress of human improvement. Time-honoured prejudices were suf fered to invest the mind long after we had, as a nation, outlived the public necessities by which they were first created. However obvious became the desirableness of various suggestive reforms, they were oftentimes provokingly retarded, not on account of special abuses not being admittedly flagrant, but solely from an almost instinctive reverence for the Constitution, coupled with the apprehension that, in the bare attempt to purify it fro.ii unwhole some incrustations, an unexpected shock, to some ma terial part of its framework, might be, either uncle signidly or insidiously imparted. On the other hand, the existence of this sentiment, whilst civilisa tion was slowly progressing, has, doubtless, at times, saved us from many an infliction, attendant upon hasty awl ill-devised schemes of public policy, and presented a successful barrier against their accom plishment. But now, when the national intellect is taking such gigantic strides, antipathies, however en titled to respect, are fast subsiding, and an en lightened people will no longer suffer needless procrastination to defer legislation when it is urgently required for the protection of their rights, highly prized and justly cherished. The bold and moral attitude assumed by the unrepresented masses of this community when they claimed the Reform Bill from the Legis lature, will never be forgotten. Their sagacity taught them that such a measure once obtained, great moral results would speedily attest the wis dom of the concession. Their foresight has not mis carried. The firmness with which the demand was made for a liberal and extended fran chise sprang from the petitioners' innate consciousness that, though the desired boon was large, it would be righteously exercised by them to the promotion of the general weal. The sequel has shown that this was no hazy or egotistical vision. It is, however, becoming daily apparent that the high-minded. spirit that ordinarily excites the electors at large to an honourable fulfil ment of their duties, is receiving an indirect but grievous check, owing to the expensive and cumbrous machinery of registration which must at present be worked, before a great portion of the electoral body can stabilitate their votes for returning Members to the House of Commons. The consequence has been that, in some intances, both counties and boroughs, scared by the expense, have been brought under the corrupting influence of the aristocrat's purse, and constituencies have been bought and sold with as much sang-froid and nonchalance as though they were so many heads of cattle, or other marketable commodity. The most recent and remarkable proof of this growing evil has been furnished by the cele brated Berkeleian correspondence. The exposure herein afforded has startled and disgusted every well regulated mind. The registration forms must be speedily and thoroughly remodelled that we may be spared the repetition of such shameful electoral abuse as has been actually systematised in West Gloucestershire. The unconstitutional traffic that has been perpetrated in this county has effected this double wrong :—First, it has involved a large consti tuencv—most discreditably to themselves, beyond all doubt—in the meshes of a large landed proprietor ; and, next, it has raised the commoner (who lorded it over the fawning parasites), by two gradations, to the dignity of arl Earl in the British Peerage. Thus has an evil example been set, in a political sense, of a most revolting character, calculated to be pernicious in every way. Nevertheless, our hope is, that out of evil good will come, and that Parliament will address itself to the task of providing an adequate remedy against the continuance of this audacious prostitution of sacred rights. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, M.P., published a long letter, on the 9th instant, to his "independent" electors. It entirely confirms the views me embraced of the meeting that was held at Gloucester on the 3d inst., and shortly afterwards submitted to our readers. The meeting was neither more nor less than a piece of preconcerted affectation. They wished to make them selves out independent, whereas the exclusion of the press generally, their own private reporters excepted, and every other step which they took, sufficiently stamped their proceedings, and has since revealed their ill-concealed and unpatriotic designs. Lord FITZUARDINGE is fairly thrown on his haunches by 1 the reply he has provoked from his brother as to the pecuniary assistance he vaunted of having given him. We cannot comment further upon this letter of three columns length. We remain of the same opinion as we were before, that if West Gloucestershire wishes to right itself with the public, they must receive no more money from Earl FITZHARDINGE, nor return - —•— any member of his family to represent them in future. We yesterday alluded to the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, and the important change that has been effected in the fundamental rules of that body, by permitting the discussion of any matter brought forward or pending in either House of Parliament, so far as it related to the em- ployment of the people on the drainage, subsoiling, I. and clearing of the land, and the production of food. These are subjects, as we have already said, peculiarly within the province of an association founded for the express purpose of promoting in every manner the . agricultural interests, and the agricultural improve ments of the country. It might with some show of reason have been urged, that so long as the Legisla ture abstained from dealing in any manner with land, that its cultivation and management were left wholly in the hands of the owners, and occupiers, and that they were left free from any kind of interference, that such a restriction was correct and proper. But the instant that Parliament pro posed to legislate in respect of land, to effect altera tions in the laws relating to the occupation thereof, and to enact measures which might be calculated to encourage the cultivation of the soil, to extend a better system of agriculture, and to improve the re- lation between landlord and tenant, it became the duty of the society to emancipate itself from the trammels by which it had heretofore been fettered, to give the benefit of iits experience and the weight of its authority to measures likely to effectuate -these objects, and to stamp with their disapprobation any project by which injury might be inflicted on a class without a more than proportionate advantage to the nation in general. Such discussions, so long as they were confined to points affecting the landed interests of the country, and avoided all questions which by a possibility could lead to differences of a political or religious character, would be most beneficial and valuable. The society, how• ever, abstained therefrom, as many excellent and efficient members feared that any relaxation of the stringency of the rule would be abused, and that political questions would be intruded that might lead to bickerings and dissensions, and seriously impair the general efficiency of the body. Perhaps it may be as well for the country that the change was not effected until the present time, when the pressing difficulties by which the kinedom is encompassed, and the evidences already afforded by Mr. O'Coyeeee and his followers of the perfect good faith with which they would observe the pledges into which they might enter, have enforced the necessity of a cordial co-operation of all classes, and have removed, or con siderably mitigated, the prejudices and distrust that existed on every side. The other resolutions to which we briefly adverted are essential to the due and efficient carrying out of the objects of the society, and naturally followed the abolition of the restrictive rule. By the first, the " society is formed into a committee, who are to seek information respecting the extent of the benefit derived from the present mode of providing employ ment, and the deficiencies of the same, to report upon such amendments as were desirable, and submit to the consideration of the proper authorities, from time to time, such representations as those inquiries might supply—thus embodying the collective expe rience and observation of the society at large." Here, then, is a realisation of the project for a national committee, which, if duly followed up, would prove so beneficial to the nation, and the speedy formation and valuable results of which we have so warmly advocated in The San. We could scarcely have antici pated that the body would have been so speedily con stituted, and be at the very moment of its creation so efficient, and command such weight and influence. The adoption of the resolution makes the society in everything but name the National Committee of Ire land, and gladly do we hail its existence, and tender it our best wishes fur its favourable progress in the path in which it has started. We have long felt the equity and justice of re lieving the landowner who discharges conscientiously and honourably the duties imposed upon him by the possession of his property, who gives to his dependents and neighbours the amount of employment fairly pro portioned to the quantity of land in his hands, from the burdens rendered necessary by the apathy of his brother proprietors. Their neglect of the labouring population in their respective localities enforced the legislative interference ; a labour-rate was required because they would not afford employment on their •iwn estates to the people belonging thereto. It was therefore palpably unjust that the man who per formed everything that could be expected or desired at his hands should be doubly taxed, and the calling on such a person to pay his proportion of the labour rate, without making any allowance fur the expendi ture already undertaken by him, was not merely inequitable, but most injurious in its operation. It too often compelled him to discontinue the useful works he had commenced, to discharge his work men, and to cast them upon the public works, to the expense of which he was forced to contribute. With this impres sion we long since urged the propriety of exempting the person who distributed in wages to his own labourers, selected from amongst the persons for whom it was necessary to provide employment in the district in which his lands were situated, from the amount for which his lands would be liable to the labour rate. We have pointed out the good effects of such a regu lation, and we are happy to say many influential persons have adopted our sentiments in that particular. We may now number amongst the supporters of the principle " The Agricultural Society of Ireland." The last resolution adopted at the meeting on Wednesday goes the full length of the views we have advocated. They have re solved that the townlands should be made the units of subdivisions as to assessment in place of electoral divisions, and that any proprietor undertak ing the amount of cess to be levied off each townland should be exonerated from the assessment of the baronies. We cannot doubt that a proposition so just and reasonable in itself, and now so influentially supported, will speedily be sanctioned and adopted : in such a case, there is little doubt that the great majority would give the required undertakings, and that they would direct to works of a useful and reproductive character that labour for which they must pay, how ever it may be occupied; and thus that vast quantity of labour will be made a source of national wealth and prosperity, in place of being, as heretofore, a burden on the resources of the country. Intelligence from Lisbon to the Bth instant bile been received. The QUEEN'S army, amounting to 4,000 men, and commanded by SALDANHA, who had been created a Duke and Viceroy of the northern provinces, had marched from Lisbon to attack the Conde DAS ANTAS, who had his head-quarters at Leira. The KING remained at Lisbon, and did not accompany the army, as had been announced. The disaffected were in possession of Santarem. The Diario publishes a decree suspending the guarantees for another month ; also a second decree, ordering all peasants caught in arms to be shot. It also publishes a letter, which states that there are 200,000 stand of arms among the people —every man is armed. The resistance will be obstinate. A large array of titled persona have joined and lead the people. Juntas were formed in almost every town of the kingdom. The QUEEN'S troops are to bombard Evora on the 7th. Private letters state that the whole kingdom is in arms to support DAS ANTAS ; that the Government troops have suffered frequent repulses; and that the cause of the QUEEN is at the last extremity. -- Madrid papers to the 7th inst. have arrived. They are filled with accounts of a squabble between Count IhEssoN and the Tiernpo, which would be simply absurd, did it not show the wanton and arro gant manner in which the French Proconsul sets all the laws of Spain at defiance, and glories in forcing the members of the Spanish Government to minister to the degradation of their country. The Tiempo, it appears, had published an article accusing Count BRESSON of having used his interest with Government to screen a contrabandista from punishment. If Count BRESSON felt himself aggrieved, the ordinary tribunals were open to him, but the ordinary tribunals would not suit the purpose of Count BRESSON, or of his employers, who seek on every occasicn to insult, and, if possible, extinguish the sentiment of Spanish nationality, and accordingly he demands of the Go- (gt 1•1 • •• W s ovf GNI. 44, Ntt 'at' • •-• "ify•--,5- • )4 , DiAl'r Rrt •M. • a IT &enti ,nn LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1846, CABINET COUNCIL. Summonses were issued from the Foreign-offici yesterday to all the Ministers, to attend a Cabine Council on Monday next. PRIVY COUNCIL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord LANSDOWNE, Lord MORPETII, and several other Ministers, left Padding ton at half-past one o'clock this afternoon, by a spe ci-a.l train, for Windsor Castle, to attend a Privy Council, appointed to be held by her MAJESTY at half-past two o'clock. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the other Cabinet nisters are expected to return to town this evening. Very frequently permanent and extensive advan tages arise out of temporary and local inconvenience. It is proverbial that the great fire of 1666, though grievously calamitous to the then citzens of the Bri tish capital, has been productive of the most ines timable improvements. By that terrible visitation multitudes ware beggared and rendered house less, the mercantile transactions of the metropolis were for a period in a state of ruinous stagnation, and the scene of so many domestic comforts and of so much civic prosperity remained for a considerable time a chaos of smouldering rabbis and rafters. With these unquestionable miseries, however, were associated a variety of undoubted benefits. By that conflagration the frightful scourge by which the City had been decimated, and the hor rors of which have been recorded with so much of terrible naturalness by DEFOE, was thoroughly era dieated ; the atmosphere, which had been poi soned by the plague, was thereby effectually purified; the narrow ramifications of the thoroughfares, those miserable and dilapidated bye-lanes which the insuffi cient drainage of generations had rendered so infec tious to their inhabitants, were utterly demolished ; and the beggarly wooden and antiquated tenements which constituted London were exchanged for a more salubrious and commodious arrangement of domicile;. That gigantic calamity, of which the Monument is the splendid and perpetual memento, was in reality the forerunner and originator of the noblest benefactions that have ever been conferred upon this vast metro polis. By it the appearance of London was beauti fied, and the salubrity of London ensured ; by it, moreover, the sanatory condition of millions of citi z-ms was materially advanced, and their cleanliness And contentment rendered matters of possibility. The same principle is observable in operation not merely in an artificial state of existence, but throughout the domain of nature. Out of apparent evil frequently arises positive good. What was thus beneficial on an enormous scale in the middle of the seventeenth century, we are persuaded will be mani fested in the middle of the nineteenth century, on a scale much more contracted, but locally of tantamount importance. In accordance with the decision which has been long since and significantly pronounced by the public, Westminster-bridge is to be completely rooted out of the Thames, and a more convenient and graceful structure erected in a more suitable locality. The repeated mishaps which have befallen that building have ultimately elicited this determi nation to improve the neighbourhood. It would be frivolous, if not absolutely impertinent, to enlarge upon the advisability of such a proceeding as far, at least, as the destruction of the present bridge is concerned. Anything more unwieldy, more precarious, more perilous, more awkwardly situated, or productive of more exorbitant and unnecessary outlay, was certainly never erected in the capital of a prosperous empire in civilised times. Since the period of its first unfortunate erection Westminster bridge has interfered with the navigation of the river, it has placed the lives and limbs of the lieges in in cessant and peculiar jeopardy, it has injured the synimetry of the neighbourhood, and, beyond all, has been a continual and unremunerative drain upon the public purse to an extent almost incredible. From the ill-omened Act, passed in the ninth year of his Majesty King. GEORGE 11., intituled "An Act for building a bridge across the River Thames, from the new Palace-yard in the city of Westminster to the opposite shore in the county of Surrey," enormous sums have been perio dically expended, or, as we may say, literally sunk, first in the construction, and subsequently in the re pair of this ill-starred structure. Alternately the patience and forbearance of the community have been severely tested by the alternate settlement of the starlings an inch or so deeper in the bottom of the Thames, and the cor_sequent settlement of so many additional thousands sterling. What was intrir ,ically intolerable has been since rendered more so , re l a ti ve l y an d cimparat i ve l y. Since the commencement of the New Palace at Westminster it has been painfully manifest that the cumbersome bridge which there connects the shires of Surrey and Middlesex will constitute not merely a detestable eyesore, but a most indisputable ii.l VENIN 11, NOVEMBER 14, .144 k Vernment that they shall give him satisfaction within 9 4 hours; and the Spanish Afrancesado Government, of course, at once obeyed its master, and ordered the Fiscal of Madlid to proceed against the article, and this notwithstanding the protest of Senor CANEJA, the Minister of Justice, who declared that no law in the Spanish legislation authorised such proceedings, and in direct violation of the law, which says " that injuries or calumnies against individuals or corpora tions by the press, or other means of publication, are to be submitted to the ordinary tribunals at the re clamation of the offended parties." Rumours of approaching Ministerial changes were rife in Madrid. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 7.—TLe Three per Cents. were dune at 33 to fur cash. The other securities conti nued the same. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday• The Presse continues the polemic on the Mont )ensier marriage. It has long since, however, ceased ro argue on the matter, wand now confines itself to violent abuse of Lord PALMERSTON. The Sii:ele has a powerfully-written article on the position and prospects of M. GUIZOT. The following extracts from it would soein to announce the tactics that will be pursued by the Opposition in the Cham bers during the approaching Parliamentary campaign. After speaking of the English alliance, the writer proceeds— " Now, behold the alliance broken, and why ? for what interest ? For one purely dynastic, for a marriage, which, it is said, is not to cause any change in what exists. It was not therefore true, as was so often re peated, and with such ridiculous emphasis, that peace, that precious peace, to which all the nations of Europe cling so sincerely, was imperatively connected with the presence in power of such or such a statesman ; it was not then true that with one it must necessarily be agitated and uneasy, and with another always certain and tran quil. Is it not agitated and uneasy at present ? And yet M. Guizot still governs—that same M. Guizot whose word was a guarantee, whose moderation allowed him to undertake much without peril ; who, by an insulting allusion to the character of his predecessor, declared in the tribune, in order to justify himself for the mystifica tions which he had met with at London I spoke in your name ; I repeated your declarations affirmed ; I in sisted ; and they would not believe me !' And he, who was always to inspire so great a confidence, now speaks, affirms, protests in his - own name, and yet he is nut believed I What a chastisement for the un worthy conduct which this Minister adopted in IS4O, and for the shameful weakness with which he has since then protected his responsibility _? What would this great Minister think if all persons in France to-day joined their voices to those of the English, in cursing him ? if his own agents bore witness against him ? if those who had enjoyed his confidence, or at least followed him in his policy, turned against him with anger, and cried out all of a sudden in concert—Peace, what have you done with peace ? What is become of our security ? Why have you broken the entente cordiale ? And if, at his side, a man should happen to be found, who, finclng the occasion good to seizo en power, should make of him a sort of scape-goat, and accusing him in the face of Europe of having by his intrigues compromised the repose of nations, should undertake to repair his faults, that is, to immolate him to the self-love or resentment of the English Ministers, what judgment would he form of such a man ? Who knows but that we shall perhaps behold this expiation; then it will be curious to know what may pass in M. Gtlizot's mind." The Constitutionnel has the following on the war between the United States and Mexico : "The news from the United States confirm what was known before relative to the critical position of the American Government. Its financial situation becomes daily more complicated, and the victories which its troops gain in no way alleviate its embarrassment. After the gain of three battles and the conquest of several provinces, the United States are ir.finitely more in want of peace than Mexico herself. In fact, they cannot supply for any much longer time the enormous expenses which the war necessitates, and' all their successes are found to be useless, since Mexico persists in not demand• big peace. It will, therefore, be necessary to go and forcibly obtain it in Mexico. But will tLey cause the little army, which has purchased at such heavy cost the possession of Monterey, to pass over seven hundred to eight hundred miles ? The country, laid waste by the enemy, cannot suffice to feed them, and when the system of military contributions shall be in vigour, when the peasants will have an interest in carrying away their cattl.e and provisions, it will become an impossibility to subsist. In consequence, General Taylor has received orders to break the truce and attack SAW°. When he shall have taken that place he will divide his troops amongst Monterey and two or three other places, in order to escape as much as possible from famine and winter. In that position, full of perils, he will wait for reinforcements or for a cessation of hos- ' tilities. Here, then, is an army reduced to inactivity, and out of a state to do anything to contribute to the conclusion of peace. A second one, therefore, will be requisite, to go and attack Mexico. It appears, in fact, thr.t the American Government is resolved to form an expeditionary corps, which is to seize on Tampico or Vera Cruz, and to proceed from the coast towards Mexico. This way is, in fact, the shortest, and preYents nei:her de serts nor mountains, like that leading from Monterey to Mexico. It appears that the Americans recoiled from the idea of attacking St. Juan d'Ulloa, and that Gen. Patter son has received orders to assume the command of a body of troops to attack Tampico, and to march from that port on Mexico. The fleet is to make at the same time a demonstration en Vera Cruz. Although the Americans have failed already once before at Tampico, there is no doubt that they will succeed in obtaining possession of it. But the necessity of keeping up this second army will double their expenses, to whiA already neither the revenues nor the credit of the Government suffice, and against which a powerful party is rising up each day. The reaction against the war is already com mencing in the United States, and after the winter will probably be in the ascendant. The Mexicans, therefore, at present are in every way interested in prolonging the struggle; they can incur no serious dangers until after the winter, and a few months may effect a complete change in the opinion of their adversaries Therefore it is not astonishing to see Santa Anna rejecting every idea of an arrangement, and writing to General Almonte, in a letter already published, that Mexico ought to get out of the present war victoriously or cease to exist as a nation." It is evident that the Carlists are meditating an outbreak in Spain. The following, which appears in the Presse, would go to show that they have now arms and money; of soldiers they can always com mand more than a sufficiency. " A letter which arrived yesterday, and has been communicated to us, announces that an armed band of Carlists has made its appearance near Berga, in Upper Catalonia. This guerilla party, which is said to be numerous, is commanded by Colonel Cabellaria, better known by the name of Muchacho. We are also in formed that the agents of the Count de Montemolin have succeeded in procuring for him, but at a most ex travagant rate, a sum of not less than 3,000,0001. A portion of this money has been employed in purchasing arms, and it is said that, a few days ago, 8,000 muskets were sent off from Liverpool to Gibraltar. Among the persons who accompany them is a priest, the well-known friend and confidant of Cabrera. These facts, the cor rectness of which is warranted to us, must fix the atten tion of the Government, particularly if it be true, as is asserted, that not a Carlist has appeared at the embassy to take the benefit of the amnesty. On the other hand, about a hundred Progressists yesterday received their passports, and most of them are preparing for their im mediate return into Spain." According to the Courrier Francais,Pueen CHRIS TINA, yielding to force majeure, is about to come and pass some time in France. The ex-Regent has become so imperious and exacting, that there is no dealing with her. There have been several very warm alter , cations between her and the three principal Ministers, who have at last declared that they would retire from office rather than submit to such despotism. Other manifestations even more significative have been made by a great number of personages placed in the highest stations. M. BRESSON, in order to prevent an explosion, went to Queen CHRISTINA, and recom mended her to make a visit to France ; but he was obliged, it is said, to urge many strenuous arguments before he could prevail upon her to accede to his ad vice." This confirms the reports which have been circulated in Madrid on the subject of the intrigues and counter-intrigues of CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ. The ratifications of the treaty of commerce and navigation, lately concluded between France and Russia, were exchanged in Paris on Monday. On this occasion the Emperor of RUSSIA has conferred the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Alexander Newsky on the Baron DE BARMITE, French Ambas sador at St. Petersburgh, and the KING of the FRENCH has presented the Star of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour to M. DE KISSELEFY, the Russian Chargé d'Affaires at Paris. On the proposition of the Prefects of the Seine and the Police, the municipal council has voted a credit of 300,000 f. for supplying the indigent and the dis tressed workmen of Paris with bread at 80c. for the 41b. loaf, first quality, should it at any time rise above that price.

There can be no doubt but that Mr. Hood has well acquitted him self of his task, nor can we disguise our impression that Monte Video is partly to blame for his failure. At Rio, on the 22d of September, the exchange was 27d., and the alteration of the sugar duties here was expected to give some impulse to the trade of Brazil.
