Matters are jogging on with sulPtising quietude at Madrid ; but this very tranquillity in the Spanish metropolis during the preliminary movement; of such an unpalatable ceremonial as that of the Gallic ma r . riage with the heir presumptive to the throne of ber Most Catholic MAJESTY, is more ominous than the most tumultuary blustering. It is the delusive pause before the national tempest. Spanish blood has not so degenerated, Spanish hearts are not so phlegmatic, Spanish pride is not so eradicated, that their wishes may be violated with impunity, especially after they have been so significantly avouched. The descend ants of the Cm cannot permit themselves to be bearded to the teeth by any foreign plenipotentiary, however plausible, without evincing that fanatical self-exalta tion for which they have been during so many heroic centuries remarkable. Self-respect still survives iA Spain, despite the Imitations of Mac* rity, the vicissitudes of social organisation, . and the encroachments of a spurious regeneration. Count DE BRESSON must not, therefore calculate upon the infinitely protracted acquiescence of the Spanish multitude in those diplomatic machinations by which he is endeavouring to joia together, with the matrimo nial knot, the disjuncted branches of the Bourbon family, the younger and the elder. Although during the state pageantry which, on the 25th instant con ducted the French Ambassador into the presence of Queen CHRISTINA and her two • royal daughters, al though throughout the progress of this representative through the thoroughfares of the Peninsular capital the utmost order prevailed among the spectators, and no indications of public disapprobation presented themselves, there is less cause for gratulations than in the event of a partial emeute. The principal question for consideration in this extraordinary affair is, whether the Spanish people are rejoiced or enraged at the prospect of the Mont pensier alliance? Upon that question is balanced the futurity of the Peninsula. Upon the settlement of that question rests the prospective tranquillity or disturbance of Spain—the submission to foreign do mination, or the preservation of a venerable and glorious nationality. No conjectures whatever can be formed with any degree of security as to the sentiments entertained by a community upon any matter connected with them selves collectively, except by an assiduous investiga tion of a thousand minute and collateral circum stances. The inhabitants of those eastern provinces of the Peninsula, which are designated in the aggre gate Spain, have not yet acquired sufficient muni cipal and constitutional freedom, they are not sufficiently emancipated from the manacles of feu dality, they are', not indeed sufficiently im pressed with a deep craving for the blessings of political independence, to arise simultaneously, as the electors of this country would unquestionably de, supposing any foreign Cabinet had the temerity to ' encroach upon the prerogatives of the Crown or to battle with the dearest prejudices of the population. Nevertheless, it is possible to discern the partialities or antipathies of such a people as the Spaniards despite their subjection to the majesty of the Govern ment. Are the Spanish people, then, rejoiced or enraged at the proposed marriage of their Princess with the Due DE MONTITNSIER ? Those who have watched the intelligence which has arrived from that European territory since that proposition was first announced will find the answer to that inquiry obvious. The most brazen effrontery cannot find in itself the moral intrepidity to maintain that the Spaniards have given any indication of pleasure at the advancement of this Orleans suitor. Unless the rebellious declarations of newspapers—unless the general fabrication of protests—unless the sullenness of the citizens of Madrid on the appearance of the Court dignitaries—unless the universal execration of Afrancesados and "Gabachos"—unless the mobbing of inoffensive postilions and tailors—unless the groans of indignation uttered, even in Congress, can be re garded as testimonies of national exultation, we must regard the proposition from the Cabinet of LOUIS PHILIPPE as the subject of Spanish abhorrence. Although the English Government has been de rided for its being " entrapped" by the cunning of French diplomacy, and although our representative ;it Madrid was declared by the National to have been " juggled like a nut," we can see no reason for de ploring the recent conduct of our Ministry. The refuial of Great Britain to advance any candidate, her generous reliance upon the honesty and good 'aith of her allies, the calm but emphatic protests entered at Madrid and Paris by Mr. BULWER and Lord NORMANBT, every circumstance in this else where discreditable transaction, redounds to the honour, the dignity, and the generosity of England. We maintain this, notwithstanding the howl of derision raised against our Government by a syco phantic press in the French metropolis. We maintain tt, in contradiction to the whining lamentations of many among our insular journalists. While the other Cabinets implicated in this underhand negotia Lion are tarnished by its many humiliating charac teristics, the Cabinet of St. James's remains untarnished, and is raised to a still loftier position by comparison. " Weak Governments protest, but powerful ones act," is the snarling and insidious jeer uttered by L'Epoque. Can anything be more contemptible than this endeavour to scoff a ;rent nation into warfare ? Is it not the mispri,ion if all constitutional dignities? Much worthier is the language uttered a few mornings since by another Parisian print. "It is not , e ithout some feelings of humiliation," says the National, " that we see our. :elves compelled to witness a family, a secondary in terest, take the place of great interests, agitate Europe, and threaten France with some fresh degra ilation." Had France acted with as much wisdom and candour in her foreign policy as England, the affairs of the Peninsula would not be plunged into their present lamentable state of confusion ; nor would royal and ambassadorial honour have been so grievously compromised. When Lord JOHN RUSSELL last stood as a candi date for the representation of the city of London, consequent upon his acceptance of the Premiership, he alluded, in his address to the electors, in very ge neral terms, to the cardinal points of reformation which he thought it incumbent on the new Govern ment to promote, in every way, to the best of their anited abilities. He singled out the peculiar posi ion of Ireland, the state of the criminal law, the dearth of general education, the defects of the law as affecting the sanatory condition of the people, and announced, that upon these several matters the collective energy of the Administration would be bestowed, with a view to the introduction of most comprehensive measures for the amelioration, political and social, of the great nation whose inte rests his Lordship had been called on to preside over and prosper. More important subjects than those recapitulated in the Premier's address, to which we have adverted, could not have been selected, and we be lieve that nothing more than this selection for future legislation, especially when viewed in unison with the high credentials for wisdom and integrity which were stamped upon his political life, caused the coun try to hail with satisfaction the elevation of his Lord ship to the highest post in the service of his SOVEREIGN. Whenever a change of Government takes place the public, by prescriptive usage, as it were, look for the enunciation, from the fresh holders of office, of some specific objects, in contradistinction to those which have been more markedly favoured by their predecessors. It has frequently happened that, to minister to the gratification of this customary ex pectation, new Administrations have prominently put forward declarations to which they were either themselves indifferent, or were well aware must result in disappointment. The field, however, which Lord J. RUSSELL carved out for the especial labours of hinself and his coadjutors, was not only new, in the sense of being laid open to public view under the influential auspices of a Government, but it was one to which the records of Parliament attest that Lord Joins had devoted his mind, long before there was any prospect of his Lordship's assuming the head of affairs. During Sir R. PEEL'S public rule Lord Jour; brought forward, in the Heuse of Commons, a string of resolutions, declaratory of the neglected condition of the humbler classes in many respects, and of the duty of Parliament to legislate for their wants—sanatory, educational, and moral. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved the previous question ; and, by a large majority, the sound and judicious counsels of the noble mover were for the time effectively shelved. Nevertheless, at the first feasible opportunity, Lord JOHN made known to his admirers and Great Britain at large, that, with the possession of power, he would not be unmindful of the principles of social reform which he had advocated at the head of a distracted and enfeebled opposition; and with his Lordship's sincerity in this respect the citizens of London, in their electoral capacity, were the first to be made acquainted. The advanced period of the session when Sir R. PEEL resigned, the multifarious business that stood over, and required to be first dis posed of before the prorogation could take place, - *els/ more than enough to engross the attention he of Administrati on up tothe commencemen t cf the recess. t The public, th en , have b een necessar: iiy conte n t e d to Parliament. re-assembling o f have their hop es d e f e rr e d till t ► It is, nevertheless, 8 so':irce of satisfaction to turn to what transpired att l itinauguratiou dinner oftho S heriffs of the city of London, on Wednesday last. At these and other civic entertainments, where parties of every political shade meet together, it is a wise rule that an abstinence from political references is, for the most part, scrupulously observed. Still it not un frequentlj occurs, that upon these occasions much of vast public import is judiciously elicited without infringing upon the harmony which is essentially respected. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS, in proposing the health of Lord J. RUSSELL and her MAJESTY'S Ministers, offered some interesting remarks, founded upon his own experience, on the state of our prisons, the dwellings of the poor, and the deficiencies of education that characterise the lot of many of our miserable fellow-beings. Lord Jo= at once assured the company that, to the subjects of such " utmost importance," as the Alderman had broached, "the unceasing and conscientious attention of the Ministry would be given." His Lordship fervently added— " Let us hope that those great problems, many of which have hitherto been hid in obscurity, but which, nevertheless, are matters well worthy of the attention of statesmen—matters relating to the social condition of the community—will receive such attention, that both here and elsewhere the condition of the great mass of mankind may be improved ; that not only may our gaols be made places of less suffering, and greater hope of re formation, but that by more attention to the• means of in struction many may be preserved from the guilty course on which they now enter, in utter ignorance of their duty both to God and man." This is sound and philosophical. It is probing the wounds of the body politic to their lowest depths. Elevate the mind of the nation throughout its entire range with proportional enlightenment, and crime, with its accursed legion, which now invests our choicest citadels of civilisation, will be comparatively scared from their very precincts. The fell monster may continue to coast our walls, and hover around us, but will cease, in progress of time, to eat into the vitals of a contented, enlightened, affectionate, and morally disposed community. Cessat causa cessat affectus. A passing sentence or two of the Lord Chief Baron came well in aid of the general tone of Lord Jonx RussELL's speech. We extract the following with pleasure : "They might rely upon it that the question of the suppression of crime did not depend upon the manner in which they were to deal with criminals in gaol. It de pended upon the mode in which they treated the op pressed, the poor, and the ignorant, who were not in gaol. By taking care of those classes, and instructing them, they would repress crime, and would prevent the gaols being filled. Let them, then, as far as possible, raise the humbler classes, give knowledge where they found - ignorance, and ever relieve where they met real distress." These are sentiments of noble and enlarged charity —reason applauds, and the heart approves of them. It will be a happy day for this country to behold them fully developed by the wisdom of our lawgivers. Lord Joux RUSSELL is a skilful navigator. He has traced out a chart, and noted down the dangerous shoals and sunken rocks upon which, for want of a provident helmsman, the hopes of many a nation have been wrecked. He has embarked upon an arduous voyage, and sure we are that millions of his com patriots will lend him every assistance to bring it to a prosperous issue. It is said that overtures will shortly be made by Austria, Russia, and Prussia, to the Governments of England and of France for the settlement of the affairs of Poland in general, and of Cracow in parti cular. Madrid papers of the 25th ult..have arrived. The Hcraiclo contains a long account of the formal demand of the INFANTA'S hand for the Due DE MONTPENSIER by M. BILESSON, the French Ambas sador, the whole of which will be found in another column. The Clamor Publico publishes the following corre spondence between General SERRANO, one of the leaders of the Opposition, and Mr. BULWEU, in which it will be perceived that the latter distinctly and flatly con tradicts the assertion made by M. ISTURITZ in the Chamber of Deputies, " that the marriage most op posed by the Minister of Foreign Aflairs of her Britannic Majesty was that of her Majesty the QuEms " TO 11. L. InTLWER. ESQ. " Esteemed Sir and Friend,—The President of the Council of Ministers, replying to a speech in which I expressed my opinion relative to the message concerning the marriage of her Majesty and the Infanta. made use of the following terms;--' But what will the Honourable Member think if I tell him that the marriage most op posed by the Minister of Fortign Affairs of her Bri tannic Majesty was that of her Majesty the Queen ? What w3II he say if I add, that the desire and intention ;.ti that Cabinet was to present, as the sole candidate fur the Queen's hand, another Prince, who, at the present nn went, is in disaccord with what is passing?' The belief in which I have been until now, that the opposition made by you and by the Government of her Britannic Majesty, referred solely to the marriage of her Royal Highness the Infanta, hair presumptive to the throne, with the Duke de Montpensier, and the importance attached by public opinion to a knowledge of the real sentiments of a nation, the friend of Spain, regarding. an affair which so nearly affects our interests and nationality, induces me (being desirous of forming a projAr judgment and of rectifying that of my fellow-citizens) to direct myself to you, in the hope that, if there is no objection, you Wl] have the gO N Odness to manifest to me what you may deem prudent, and what may conduce to the elucidation of the enigma, which the words of the President of the Council of Ministers have created in the minds of the majority of the Spanish public. " What I would most appreciate is, that you will ex plicitly let me know as much as possible what have been the general principles followed by your Government in the affair of her Majesty's marriage, and what are ac tually its feelings in respect to the election of a husband definitively made by the Queen. The object of this communication being dictat e d so l e l y b y a principle purely of public interest, I hope you will nut limit me in the use I may deem fit to make of the answer you honour me with, and remain your attentive and faithful friend. (Signed) " FRANCISCO SERRANO." ANSWER. "TO THE MOST EXCELLENT DON FRANCISCO SERRANO. "My dear General—l know of nothing in the spirit of true and honourable diplomacy that should induce a Minister representing England, in moments and upon an occasion like the present; to involve the opinions of his Government in the mystery of forms. This Govern ment is honest and frank, and I speak to a gentleman equally frank and honest. "I at once, then, answer you, saying that the English Government, whilst respecting the election of her Ma jesty the Queen of Spain, whoever might have been the Prince she chose for a husband, has always wished it might fall on a Spanish Prince, judging that such an election would be the best calculated to preserve the existing relations in Europe and tho independence of this country, and which, being most advan tageous for the interests of Spain, possessed the greatest probability of meriting the approbation of the Spanish people. The manifestation which all parties made a short time ago in favour of the pretensions of his Royal High ness Don Enrique, and the manly, independent cha racter of this Prince, joined, it must be said, with the objections made by persons in this Court, competent to judge of such a matter, in regard to hie Royal Highness Don Francisco d'Assis, induced the British Government to believe that Don Enrique might better unite than any other candidate the qualities which should adorn the consort of Queen Isabel, and this opinion was expressed as one friend might give advice to another in an affair of importance. " I cannot declare what has passed in such conversa tions; but the formal protest which I have presented on the part of my Government, the notes which I myself have addressed to the Minister of State of her most Catholic Majesty, in which question has not been made in any way of his Royal Highness the Infante Don Fran cisco d'Assis, together with this simple relation, fully justified, in my idea, your belief that the opposition made by me and by the Government of her Britannic Majesty, alone referred to the marriage of her Royal Highness the Infanta, and whatever may be said to the contrary, I have the satisfaction of affirming, with the confi dence of a person who knows his language is that of truth, that the Government of her Britannic Majeaty will see with pleasure the election which has been made of a Spanish Prince, and if this iti'rince upon whom has now f a ll en t h e choice of 'dor most Catholic Majesty, corresponds with the 0 1; . mion manifested in his favour, and acts according VI the sentiments natural to the blood which circulates in his veins, that is to say, as a Royal Prince and true Spaniard, evincing a love of liberty, respect for the laws, and a firm adhesion to the independence of this country, not only will he be to garded with a just and and favourable sympathy by the British Government, but likewise will attach to himself the affectionate and ardent approbation of the English people, who regard Spaniards as Irl•others, with whom they have shared the glories and perils of .war ; allies, with whom they have ever 'been anxious to culti as vate friendly relations ; as m.:ln worthy of enjoying the benefits of peace and in ( lependenee ; and, finally, as friends, to whom, a 8 :you may perceive by this commu nication, their re p r :esentative can speak with sincerity and without disguis:,. ou r e c n i n at g i to "With th.'is motive, I have the pleasure .. . and p, you the assuraP.tles of my distil-- 7% . ar attentive servant, L. BULWER." 1 remaining It is needless to add, that the Clamor Publico was seized for the publication of these letters. It is said in Madrid that the Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Cabinets are in perfect accord with the British Government in the view which the latter takes of the Montpensier marriage. They consider that its consequences threaten the preservation of the ba lance of power in Europe, and dynastical and coni raerciil intexo* of gain modes, ad, ill ccaljunc4 tion with Great Britain, they have determined to observe jealously the future conduct of the French Government in the Peninsula. NARVAEZ is restored to favour, and has quite inden tified himself with the Afrancesado party. The Government were still endeavouring, by every species of intimidation, to prevent persons from sign ing the petitions against the Montpensier marriage. The English squadron, under the command of Admiral Sir W. PARKER, was cruising on the 20th off Cape Trafalgar. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 25.—Despite the tranquillity as yet prevailing, so many rumours of an unpleasant na ture (several of them, however, very contradictory) were afloat, that the funds were looking downwards. Three per Cents., 35i money Five per Cents., 224 money ; Debt without interest, 64 ; Coupons, 20k. Exchange— London, 36} money. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Montpensier marriage is still the all-absorbing subject of comment. It is evident that the opponents of the match have by far the beat of the argument, and one proof of this is to be found in the anger, ill humour, and acerbity manifested by the Presse, the Epoque, and the Journal des Debats, the only three journals which support the marriage. The latter paper speculates on the embarrassments which may be occasioned to the English Government by the famine in Ireland. In reply to the reiterated assertions of the Ministerial journals, that the mar riage is popular in Spain, the National says:— "That nothing can be more unpopular in Spain than the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier. That ques tion has roused all parties, and it meets with a strenuous and warm opposition even amongst the most considerable fraction of the Conservatives. The Tiempo and Espanol, organs of that faction, wage as fierce a war against it as the Progressista journals. If the Government had been assured of the public assent, what need had they of increasing their violence against the press, of seizing five journals in one day, of arresting one five times in a week, of sending police agents to suppr ess an articl e a t th e moment of printing it, of menacing citizens guilty of signing a petition, and of patrolling the streets of Madrid with strong detach ments of infantry and cavalry ? And all that proves that Spain anxiously and joyously accepts your mar riage ! You must suppose your readers to possess an extraordinary portion of credulity to dare to affirm it. Revolt has not yet taken arms,' writes our correspond ent, but it is to be found in every heart. I know not at what hour it will burst forth, but I am certain that every moment advances the hand which points to the hour. Christina has played a terrible game, but she shall lose it.' " The Siècle is not so opposed to the Montpensier marriage as some of the other Opposition papers are, and strenuously urges the French Government not to permit the INFANTA. to renounce her right of succes sion to the throne. Yet, even the Siecle, although urging the Government to persist in the marriage, now that it has been entered upon, thus foretels the consequences of the policy of M. GuizoT, and the intrigues of M. BEESSON. It asks—" Is our Govern ment prepared to meet all the contingencies likely to accrue from the open or concealed resentment of Great Britain? Have they their eyes fixed on every snare that she will lay for it in the Peninsula ? Do they sup pose that, the day after the family alliance about to be concluded, the policy of France toward the Spaniards will become easier ? Will they continue to accept in their eyes the responsibility of acts of violence and reaction, such as have of late disgraced the Govern ment of Madrid ? Will they involve the name and the future prospects of the young Duke DE MONT.. PENSIER, who is personally animated with widely different dispositions, in the embarrassments of a forced situation? Do they wish that the Prince, and the dynasty, and France herself, should be irrevocably engaged in that deplorable solidarity, of which the hatred of all Spain will be some day the unavoidable result, and the just expiation ? What a strange contrast in the conduct of two rival Powers! Whilst aristocratic England, faithful to the policy she has already marked out for herself, supporting liberal and pro gressive ideas, fomenting discontent, caressing na tional prejudices, artfully flattering that Spanish pride of which the susceptibilities are so warm, will command all the passions of Spain, we shall scarcely be able to command family and Court infl uences ! Instead of availing ourselves of the double revolution effected on both sides of the Pyrenees to replace the family compact by national sympathies, we have, adopted the contrary course, and the result will be that an alliance which would have drawn closer the natural ties between two nations will perhaps serve to render them irreconcilable enemies, and will create dangers where we should have found support and security !" The Constitutionnel thus alludes to the breach of the verbal convention of Eu by M. GUIZOT : " The Journal des Debats reposed yesterday after the effort which it made the day before. Once that the words of the oracle have been pronounced the sybil has become mute. After that, complain that the reply made to the public is remarkable neither for clearness nor even for sincerity, you will get nothing for your pains. It is in vain that you knock at the door of the sanctuary—the occupant of the tripod will speak no more. The rumours circulated a week back by foreign journals, and already forgotten, are willingly recurred to, but not a word is said about that which occupies most deeply the French public. You will be told of the file of equipages, and the slightest details of an itinerary already so frequently traced out; but to ex plain why so public a departure has not been officially notified to the representatives of the various powers— that will be carefully avoided. If the Debats supposed that it was satisfying the public it much deceived itself. In its wish to systematically extenuate what it would have done far better to expose frankly, it has let avowals escape complete enough to cause attention to be directed to what it concealed, much more than to what it permitted to be seen. Besides, the truth has forced its way out on all sides. Every one is aware, in spite of the reserve of the Debats, that Lord Nor • manby's note was founded, above all, on the convention concluded at Eu—a convention, the violation of which is the principal complaint of England, and on which ex planations must be given, for the whole truth will be spoken in the English Parliament. Every one also knows that the word " protest " is written in the note, although the Debats asserted to the contrary three days hack. Every one knows that Lord Normanby declares himself authorised to make the most energetic remon. strance. It would, no doubt, be a great piece of curiosity to ask what reply has been made to Lord Normanby note. But that, however, is what the public is most in terested in learning. Wo supposed that the departure of the Duke de Montpensier has not been the only reply made to the energetic remonstrances of the English Govern ment. What is the character of this reply ? What is the capital point, the very hinge of the whole question, as on that reply depends the turn which our relations with England will take. The Debats affirms that these relations will preserve the character which they have hitherto had. That is not what the tone of Lord Nor manby's note leads one to suppose. It is from the reply of our Government that the Debuts draws this favour able augury ? To allow something to be seen would have been the most certain means of calming the public. Meanwhile the Debats, yesterday, copied an article from the Standard, exceedingly insulting to the Whig Ministry in general, and to Lord Palmerston in particular. Are we to perceive in this amiable attention of the principal and demi-official organ of our Cabinet a first step to wards the good accord and good intelligence of the two Governments 2" A telegraphic dispatch from Angouleme an nounced the arrival there of the Dukes DE MON'I , PENSIER and D'AUMALE, on Tuesday, at three o'clock in the morning. They were expected to arrive at Bordeaux at four that afternoon, and were to start for Bayonne on Wednesday morning. The Marquis DE VALDESPINA, Generals GOMEZ and VILLAREAL, and M. DE VARGA, who were resi dent at Bordeaux, have been transferred to the chateau of Illaye. The Major-General of the Navy reviewed at Brest, on the 25th, the troops destined for Oceania. These troops consist of 1,300 Marines, 200 soldiers of Artillery, 50 Artillery operatives, and 50 Sappers and Mi ne r s , 50 Gendarmes will shortly be embarked for the same destination. . ... . _ ....._ .._ The Constitutionnel sage s..

The plaintiffs are ribbon-manufacturers, &c., in the City, and the defendant is a linendraper at Hull. The amount claimed was 9/. The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de fault, it was therefore only necessary to prove the de livery of the goods as directed by the defendant. It was proved that the principal part had been delivered to the " boots" at the hotel where defendant lodged. The SECONDARY said that was sufficient delivery. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY,) (Before Mr. CORRIE.) SEYSELL AND ANOTHER V. HOLM. This was a summons under the Small Debts Act, and the case was adjourned until this day, for the attendance of one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, named Clarke, who had been summoned under the fol lowingcircumstances:— On the summons being called on, Mr. Aims, who appeared for the plaintiff's, said the defendant asserted that she had paid the money to elle of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, who held an execution against her goods. He (Mr. Atkins) had seen Clarke, and had no doubt that what defendant said was correct, and that if the matter were inquired into, it would be found it had been a continual practice in those Courts to receive money, and make returns to the executions of no effects. The Learned JUDGE asked whether the High Bailiff was not answerable? and was told that the officers acted also as agents. The defendant said the officer told her she could not prove the payment to him. The Learned JUDGE said, it was a most shameful transaction, aitcl he would issue a summons for Clarke's appearance, and the plaintiffs ought to see that the matter was carried out. Mr. ATKINS now stated that ho had served Clarke, who, however, was not in attendance ; he had sent his assistant with 255., a part of the money, and a promise to pay the remainder. The Learned JUDGE said it was a very shameful case, and if he ever heard of another like it, he would have a statement of facts drawn up and submitted to the pro per authorities. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) The young woman, Maria Pratt, who was remanded from Monday last, upon a charge of stealing several silver spoons, and a valuable ring, the property of Mr. Burls, of New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, under circum• stances of marked ingratitude, was this mcrning again brought before Alderman SirWilliara Magnay, vAen additional evidence as to her being seen i n p ossess i on of the prop•lly, and baying pawned it, was produced, and she was fully committed. BOIT-STREE'r.—(THIS DAY.) John Paisici, a foreigner, was charged with stealing a hat, pocket handkerchief, and pair of gloves, the pro perty of James Gibbon. The complainant said, that on Wednesday evening he attended a meeting► of freemansons at the Freemasons' Tavern. Tho prisoner was there as interpreter to a person who could not speak English. They were to gether in the ante-room, and complainant was in the board-room. Wishing to speak to a gentleman who was in the ante-room, witness left his hat, gloveF, and a handkerchief in the board•room, and went to his friend. When he had been in conversation with his friend for about ten minutes, the waiter came up to him with xn old hat, not his own, and an umbrella, and said, " These are yours, sir?" Ile said they were not his; but the waiter replied that that was the only hat in the room. It being observed that the prisoner had left the room without his friend, which was unusual, he was punned by the waiter and overtaken, and the hat was found ripen him. The gloves and handkerchief were not found. The prisoner, in broken English, said that he took the hat by mistake. The waiter said the prisoner had no right to go Into the board-room at all, lie had been at the tavern with the person for whom he acted as interpreter several times before, and they always went away together. The prisoner was committed fur trial. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Fredrick Lewis was charged with having commateil an aggravated assault upon a young woman named Catherine Byfield. Complainant said that about 8 o'clock last evening she was proceeding along the Ilampstead-road with an infant in her arms, when the defendant ran against her, and on her expostulating with him for not taking more heed he kicked her, and eventually knocked her down by a violent blow on the mouth. A young woman, who was accidentally passing at the time, confirmed complainant's statement in the main. The prisoner admitted the assault, but averred that complainant first struck him several blows and collected a mob about him. Mr. LONG, after commenting upon the unmanliness o the act, fined him twenty shillings. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A well-known thief named William Smith, alias Jones, was charged with stealing a roll of flannel, containing 38 yards, from the shop of Miss Emily Saggate, Islington terrace' It appeared that the prisoner was seen, in company with another man, lurking about the premises for a con siderable time, and at length, during the momentary absence of the person In the shop, the prisoner's compa nion walked in and took away the roll of flannel, with which he got clear off. Mr. Broughton committed him for trial.

Derby Mercury. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 bales, includirg 2,500 American on speculation. The market is steady. We have not any late arriyals to announce today from the British colonies. The following extract contains some interesting facts relative to the Cotton, trade, crops, Sze., which must be of interest here and at Liverpool:— " The cotton year closing on the Ist September, it now appears that the crop of 1845-6, as indicated by the receipts at the shipping ports, amounts to 2,073,529 bales, in comparison with 2,391,503 bales of the crop of 1844-5, being a difference of 320,974 bales ; the amount of the crop of the State of Texas, 27,008 bales, being added this year, makes the crop of the United States now 2,100,000 bales. This crop was gene rally estimated at 2,400,000 bales up to the Ist of January last, in consequence of the healthy state of the plant during the whole growing season —a late frost, and the picking season being the longest and most favourable on record ; and, in fact, it was only in Feb ruary last that the estimates at New Orleans and Mobile, of the best informed persons, were reduced to 2,100,000 bales, the receipts of those ports falling far short of the no minal growth. The quantity taken for home use this last season, stands at 422,597 bales against 389,000 bales last year, and 346,744 the year before. Of the present crop, the quantity received at the shipping ports is about 300 bales against 8,700 last year. In all remarks during the growing season, we have referred to the backward state of the plant, and to the excessive wet and unpropitious weather, and latterly to the estimated injury of the army worm, and the boll worm; of the latter the complaints have ceased to any large extent; but, inconsequence of the first, the picking proceeds very slowly, and it is evident that the growing crop will, under any circumstances, and even if frost should not appear till November, be under an average one. There are no late arrivals this morning, except the usual mails from tho Continent. According to the ac counts from Hamburgh, some districts in Germany will stiffer considerably from the deficiency of the rye crop; but the failure of the potato crop will not be so extensive as was apprehended a month ago. Emigration to Ame rica was still going forward on an extensive scale, not withstanding the lateness of the season, particularly from the districts bordering on the Rhine. The leading subject of interest is the accounts re ceived from Ireland yesterday, announcing the first contact with the military . and the peasantry from the failure of the potato crop in that unhappy sec ti on o f th e empire. Similar collisions to that which appear to hare occurred at Dungarvan, are, however, not unlikely to follow in other districts,and as nobody can clearly see how it is possible for the Government to proceed against them, a priori, an increasing degree of anxiety is felt for the re sult in the money market. In the meanwhile the price on provisions keeps steadily advancing in the county mar kets in England, and there is no doubtwhatever that many of the farmers are so ill advised that they are withhold ing the usual supplies under the impression that they will obtain a further advance. The Consol Market keeps heavy. Some sales for Money have been made to-day at 95*, and for Account at 9.1. India Stock is at 258, and India Bonds at 28s. premium. Exchequer-bills command from 15s. to 18s. premium, Business has been flat in the Foreign Stock Market this morning.
