It is gratifying to observe that the Repeal Associ ation is at present performing an eminent practical service to Ireland in these days of her tribulation. Nearly every factious allusion, and all invidious re vivals of party squabbling, are, during this period of scarcity and national destitution, abandoned. The purpose of the Association scarcely appears to be so much the repetition of that most fallacious and illu sory of watchwords " Repeal," as the consideration of the necessities of the peasantry, and the avowal of an anxiety to ameliorate the distresses of the dejected million. What a noble contrast is this to the vapour lag, and the egregious bombast of the physical force advocates ! While the latter are brooding over the fictitious insolence of the Sassenachs, and nurturing a diseased passion for vengeance, the admirers of the moral force movement are striving by all reasonable persuasions to expedite the salutary exertions of the Government, to stimu late the patriotism of the landlord interest, and to al leviate, by every rational suggestion, the sufferings inflicted upon their beloved country by the inscru table dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDENCE. A national committee of Irish landowners has been suggested as the most probable means of rendering the improvement of the condition of the destitute multitude a permanent and effectual benefaction. It has been observed, and observed with justice, that such a congregation of influential men, assembled together in Dublin, would materially lessen the ob stacles presented to the benevolent efforts of Govern ment, for that by accumulating in periodical reports the exigencies of the different districts scattered through either of the four provinces—Leinster, Ulster, Con naught, and Munster—and by constituting them selves the representstives, as it were, of public opinion throughout the island, extraordinary facilities would be thereby afforded to the numerous endeavours of the Executive to dissipate the gloom which has already descended upon the population. Until that national committee be convened, or supposing indeed that it be never called into existence, the Repeal Association will form its only reasonable substitute. It is the only organised body of men solicitous for the restora tion of happiness and prosperity to their fellow countrymen, which, being altogether distinct from the commissariat and other boards subordinate to the Government, affords from week to week anything like a digest of the deficiencies, the expectations, and the disposition of the Irish people. In this manner we conceive that the Repeal Association is conferring, or striving to confer, a real boon upon our sister island. It is not so much hankering after the pos session of a perfectly unattainable object, as it is struggling to incite those who are competent—the Ministers and the landlords—to diminish the woes by which Ireland is now being desolated. There is an emulation, moreover, among some of the most prominent members of this association to endeavour more earnestly to assuage the sorrows of the million. Instead of the frivolous and contemptible bickeri ng of some pseudo-patriot in the shape of at Captain BOB ADIL , we o b serve th e generous eon tentron between the Hon. CECIL LAwLEss and his quondam opponent Mr. O'NEIL. In the circum stances attendant upon th e l ast meetini, of the Re pealers in Conciliati on H a ll we perceive' the texts of a homily worthy of the perusal of the Young Irelanders We would especially remind th e l a t ter i ndividuals th a t . this is not the time for the breedingof ill blood and for the brandishing of a wooden sword. Ireland is starv ing; the heart of the nation is almost broken by late calamities; -death by famine, by pestilence, by as _ sassination, and by tumultuary risings, already threatens the impoverished and despairing peasant. Surely this is nod the moment for nursing individual jealousies, for bandying unseemly personalities, for swaggering like the TELL of a melodrama. Surely this is not the most opportune moment for intestine squabbles. The sentiments of Irishmen should at this awful period merge into one, and that one the most sacred of all,—the preservation of the existence of the poor. All parties, without distinction, should coalesce at this juncture for the better realisation of the wishes of the Government and the aspirations of every generous heart—the extrication of the Irish multitude from the abyss of misery into which they are plunged. All differences of political opinion, religious partialities, or class interests, should, at the very least, be waived during the continuance of the present alarming visitation. Another imminent necessity is revived for the con sideration of the Legislature, by the brief but em phatic adjuration of Mr. O'CONNELL :—" Rapidity is most necessary—else the people will die of hunger before the supplies arrive." If any exigency requires more frequent repetition than another in reference to the existing destitution, we are fearful that it is this of " Rapidity !" Assistance cannot be afforded by a Government with too much precipitation. When a country is suffering from such grievous and diffused privations, scarcely any expenditure on the part of the Executive can be termed extravagant. The assistance should, indeed, be lavished with a princely munificence and with a paternal promptitude. The dominion requiring that assistance is entitled to that princely bounty and that paternal considera tion. We do net hesitate to assert that this is precisely the period in which the Legislature is afforded the opportuuity of demonstrating in the most signal man ner the fallacy, the impolicy, the madness of the struggle for repeal. A splendid moment presents itself for disabusing the Irish population of that chimera, and of proving—though in a totally opposite sense than the one implied by the Hon. CECIL LAW LESS—that THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1846. " UNION IS STRENGTH !" We may show in the most signal and benignant manner that in the days of her desolation Ireland experiences the advantage of that Legislative union which her truest patriots are erroneously desirous of dissevering ; we may for ever obliterate the recol lecti9n of the wrongs inflicted upon that country by our ancestors; we may, by a just interference and a judicious alacrity, so entwine the interests of these islands together, and introduce such a cordiality amongst their population, that in reality as well as nominally they may be recognised among all nations as the United Kingdom. The private rupture that has taken place between Earl FITZHARDINGE and his brother, the Member for West Gloucestershire, and also between the Peer and his two other brothers, the representatives for Bristol and Gloucester, actuated us, on Monday last, from a sense of public duty, to proffer some remarks upon these peculiar and startling fraternal diffarences. It is nothing to the public that family quarrels exist among politicians, but it is a matter for serious scrutiny when what has been elicited renders it pro bable that animosity is to be indulged in, and ven geance wreaked, by an unwarrantable interference with, and at the expense of, the important constitu tional function of electoral bodies. We must say that the electors of West Gloucestershire cut a very sorry figure, in so far as we have as yet been initiated in their political mysteries. Lord , FITZEIARDINGE may confine his defence of what has crcurred to this simple point—that he has habitually paid certain heavy registration expenses, and that he will do so no longer, if the constituents of West Gloucestershire should re-elect Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY. This is not a very dignified course for a nobleman to pursue. In the first place, we disapprove of any Peer assisting by - his purse any man, or body of men, charged with the responsible duty of returning a Member to Parliament. It is an indirect interference in a most objectionable shape—an attempt to influence the composition of the popular branch of the Legislature, between which and the House of Lords the constitu tion has wisely ruled there shall be drawn a line of perfect independence. The electors, to be worthy of their vocation, should repudiate with indignity every offer on the part of a Peer to contribute towards de fraying the expenses necessarily incidental to the fulfilment of political duties. The electors of the empire ought to be above receiving any pecu niary aid from those between whom and them there exists, for the purposes of political freedom, a strict constitutional line of demarcation. Such con tribution wears in every instance the aspect of a that the recipients will not exercise their functions with that independence which they ought to preserve and maintain. But if Lord FITZHARDINGE has suc • ceeded in converting the electoral body of West Gloucestershire into a race of fawning parasites, and found them ready enough to swallow his bait in the shape of registration fees, and should plead that what he has done in this respect is an error participated in by many other members of the House of Lords, still, to render his defence of the part he is enact ing complete, he should assert that his purse-strings will be closed in future, should his brother be re elected, upon the broad ground that Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY has failed to discharge his Parliamentary duties, either with efficiency, or integrity, or both combined, and should distinctly indicate the precise reasons upon which such conclusions have been arrived at. Since we last wrote on this subject another letter, of the 17th instant, has appeared from the prolific pen of Mr. G. BERKELEY. His style is certainly not felicitous; it is turgid and diffuse, but it presents, in point of matter, a favourable contrast with that of his opponent's—it is straightforward. Our readers will recollect that the "influential supporters" of the Liberal interest, in other words, the hangers-on of Lord FITZHARDINGE, had shifted their plea for aban doning their present Member, on account of his Lord ship having menaced to withdraw his registration subsidies, and, for the sake of public decency, had set up as the principal cause for their defection, that Mr. G. BERKELEY had in 1845 announced his determina tion to resign his seat " unless some private arrange ment between himself and Earl FITZHARDINGE were effected." That this allegation was a mere specious afterthought seems pretty clearly established by Mr. G. BERKELEY distinctly declaring to the traders of the Castle, that at the meeting of the 6th of October, not one soul among them told him, or tendered to him, that which they now state in writing, as their "principal cause" for arriving at the resolution. Upon the main point the M.P. for West Gloucester shire is entitled to a notice of his public answer. We therefore extract a paragraph in extenso " I did, in the strongest language possible,' in 1845, announce my determination to Lord Fitzhardinge, and to several of these gentlemen, of immediately resigning my seat, if Lord Fitzhardinge expected of me a submission I deemed disgraceful, or by his own acts, at the instiga tion of another, forced me into a position which incapa • citated me from doing my duty to my constituents. I declare, and I invite each of these gentlemen signing this letter in the Chronicle individually and collectively to induce me to forego that declaration if they can, that the private arrangement' they are now fain to lay hold of involved public proceedings, and those gentle men, some of them, know that it did as well as I do. This private arrangement,' as they call it, affecting my public position, I am prepared to explain to my consti tuents at the right time, if they require it. I will not further touch on it now, as I scorn to call for any addi tional sympathy from the public, or to seem to seek friends other than the abstract public quarrel may re- - quire." If, as here stated, the private arrangement involved public proceedings, and that, as intimated, their in tended effect was to place him in a position that would incapacitate him from effectively serving his constituents, then, so far from being cashiered, it seems to us, the electors will eternally disgrace them selves if they do not reward their present Member by a continuance of their confidence whenever the next election takes place. The plot thickens, and the electors are under t a cloud. We trust the sequel will show that they have spirit enough left in them to emancipate themselves from oligarchical serfdom, and that, from very shame of what has been elicited, they mil hereafter exhibit a manly freedom, and shalo. , off the degrading thraldom of Berkeley Castle. We have no doubt that Bristol and Gloucester are well able to defend their own rights. It would naturally be supposed that the sad con dition of the lab.mring population of Ireland at this moment would demand the most active exertions, the most zealous co-operation with the authorities, of all her more favourably circumstanced children. While famine arid destitution are progressing through the land with giant strides, awakening the sympathies ot every one possessing the commonest feelings of humanity, it is surely not too much to expect that the landowners, who are themselves primarily re sponsible for the support of the people, will, to the best of their ability, discharge the duties entrusted to their care; indeed, not only do the dictates of philanthropy impel them to such a course— self-preservation, which has justly been called the first law of nature, imperiously requires them so to do. They are slumbering on a volcano, the sword of DAMOCLES hangs suspended over their heads, and any injudicious or improper conduct on their part may cause the eruption of that volcano, the fall of that sword. It is quite impossible for any Government, however well disposed, for any public department, however well constituted, to meet the emergency, unless aided and assisted in their endeavours by those locally interested, who are supposed to be well acquainted with the necessities of their several districts, and to be qualified to suggest the means to be taken for the relief of those necessities in the manner least burden some, and productive of the greatest permanent benefit to their several vicinities. The chief duty of course rests on the landowners ; they are morally responsible for the condition of the people belonging to their several estates. As we have already repeatedly urged, the land itself is bound to provide sustenance for the population belonging thereto. The labourer is entitled to be fed out of the produce of the soil on which he was born, and to the cultivation and improvement of which he has devoted, or at least is ready and willing to devote, his labour. This is the first grand principle, which cannot for an instant be lost sight of. It was found s however, that individual exertions alone could not be relied on, that there were unfortunately too many who were either unable or unwilling to give the era. ployment necessary for the support of the poor, and it was deemed essential that measures should be introduced for the purpose of providing adequate em ployment, and charging the amount equitably upon the entire landed property of the several districts. With this object, an Act of Parliament was passed, by which the Lord-Lieutenant was empowered to call together extraordinary sessions, who were to present the sums necessary to set the labourers to work, and to allocate them in such portions as they might think advisable for the making or improve ment of such roads, or other public works, in their baronies as might appear to be most beneficial. To the persons entitled to take a part in the proceedings of, and vote at, these sessions, consisting of certain justices of the peace and associated cess-payers, an important trust was confided. It was their bounden duty to calculate as accurately as possible the sum that would be absolutely necessary for the relief of the existing distress, to - curtail every unnecessary ex penditure, so as not unduly to charge the already overburdened property. Above all, they were to guard in the strictest manner against any of that jobbing to which country gentlemen have un fortunately too great a propensity, to see that the money charged to the public was applied for the public benefit only, and that no private gain or advantage was to Le made out of the universal calamity. 'They were to give the aid of their ex perience and local knowledge to the officers of the Boar I of Works, so as to guide and direct them in their proceedings—in fact, almost everything was left to the sessions. They were not compelled to pass any presentments ; such a provision was supposed to be quite unnecessary. It could not for a moment be imagined that any body of men would be so blind to the duty they owed their country, to every Christian feeling, as to disregard the claims of the famishing, or to enter with levity upon the consideration of the means by which the hungry were to be fed. At first the proceedings which took place at those sessions were highly creditable to the parties concerned. If any fault could be ascribed, it was perhaps an over liberality, a granting of sums beyond the necessities of the people, and too large for the amount of the property on which it was to be charged. It was, how ever, an amiable weakness, and it was impossible to blame the parties willing so heavily to tax themselves. Representations having been made to the Executive of the injurious consequences of expending such large sums of money on works of a comparatively barren and unprofitable nature, his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, in a manner deserving of the highest praise, took upon himself the responsibility of sanctioning a deviation from the terms of the La bour rate Act, and permitting money to be voted on certain conditions for the improvement of the soil. oncessioshould ww rail for thp vratpfol nelzi netinaen n s ts of theeess-payers, and increased exertions on the part of their representatives at the sessions. We regret, however, to say that latterly there appears to be an inclination on their parts to cast all the re sponsibility on the public authorities, to go through their business in the most loose and careless manner. Presentments have been passed for purposes which it was perfectly manifest could not be sanctioned by the Board of Works, all deliberation has been cast aside, and presentments have been carried en masse without inquiry or investigation. Macroom has made itself particularly conspicuous, has attained an unenviable notoriety. The proceed ings at the sessions there may indeed be termed " extraordinary." We find gentlemen of edu cation and property, men who should guide and direct their neighbours, turning the pro ceedings into a farce, and practically depriving the people of the employment they might reasonably expect, and that at a time when a fellow-creature was lying dead who had perished from starvation in their neighbourhood. Every schoolboy has read that " NERO fiddled while Rome was burning," but we could scarcely suppose that Irish gentlemen, and many of them, as we have been informed, really men of humanity, would, in the nineteenth century, be guilty of such conduct as is reported to have taken place at Macroom. A proposition was made to pass every presentment brought forward, which narrowly escaped being carried, as all the others were, by clamour and violence. Everything that was pro posed was forthwith passed, no matter what it might be, until at length, in the words of the secretary, the matter became too ridiculous to be continued any longer, and the chairman, at half-past four o'clock, re jected all that had not been proposed up to that hour, and made his escape, with the secretary and county surveyor, from the turbulent assembly. Most sin cerely do we hope that we may be spared the repe tition of similar scenes, and that due notice will be taken in the proper quarter of the conduct of those who occasioned the disturbance. If men will not assist themselves they cannot expect assistance from others, and many of the chief actors may bitterly re gret the part they took on the occasion, when they perceive the fearful results to which it may possibly give origin. Fortunately the Board of Works have a controlling power, and by their interposition the mischievous effects may possibly be avoided. In their hands we must for the present leave it ; the better course would probably be for the Executive to annul the entire proceedings, and to call another sessions for the district, composed of men who will properly discharge their duty. The Nuremburgk Correspondent publishes a letter from St. Petersburgh of the 7th instant, which states that the Russian Cabinet had received the protest of the Britannic Government against the marriage of the Duke DE MoNTPENSIER with the Infanta of SPAIN, and had regarded the conduct of the English Cabinet with favour. "It appears," adds the letter, "that the Russian Cabinet has decided on acting in this affair on the same line as England, and to appeal to the treaty of Utrecht." Madrid papers of the 14th have been received. The fetes in honour of the royal marriages were still going on. Senor 'STURM, having done the dirty work of the French Government in the affair of the marriage, and having rendered himself hateful to his country men by so doing, is not in a position to be any longur useful to his foreign patrons, therefore he is to b., got rid of without ceremony. It is stated in Madrid publicly that the days of IsTuarrz as a Minister are numbered; and even the Heraldo, the organ of the French embassy, hints in terms which cannot be mis- Liken, at the ah;olute necessity v► hich exists tin- getting rid of Senor leruarrz as speedily as possible. This is clearly indicative of his fate. If the French Am bassador orders, the Spanish QUEEN dares not dis obey. As the new° says— " For some time past the interested counsels of France have alone been listened to in Spain; and both in mi,tuentous and petty affairs the French Ambassador issues his orders. We know nut one of our political men whose influence can be even distantly compared with that which the aforesaid French diplomatist exercises on the affairs that exclusively concern us. All the doors of our Ministerial departments and of the Palace are opened to him much more than to our high function aries. These privileges have reached so strange an ex tent that even the president of one of our legislative bodies has been wounded in his dignity by the French Ambassador." No amnesty has been issued as yet. It is said there is a disagreement in the Cabinet on the subject, and that the King Consort has refused to support those who take the more merciful view of the question. Two chests full of crosses of the Legion of Honour have arrived in Madrid from Paris. The unfortunate inhabitants of the Spanish pro vinces are forced by the authorities to make rejoic ings for the Montpensier marriage, 'whether they are so inclined or not. The Espanol says— " The political chief of Murcia has issued an order of banishment against the advocates who declared that they would not contribute to the expenses of the ftles for the marriages, on account of the increased burdens of taxa tion that weigh upon them. Four advocates having been banished, the judges, the dean of the advocates, and the vice-president of the Provincial Council waited on the political chief, and obtained the revocation of the order, on condition that the whole body o f a d voca t es should declare the marriage of the Duke de Montpen sier with the Infanta to be agreeable to it. This was agreed to, and the Chamber of Advocates, ha v i n g as sembled again, voted (on pain of banishment) a volun tary subscription." The Espectador publishes intelligence from the frontiers of Portugal. Heavy firing was heard at Badajoz on the 10th, and it was reported in that city that the Portuguese people had risen on the frontier, and demanded the revocation of the royal decrees and the restoration of the constitution of 1820. The movement extended to Elvas and to Campomayor. Two officers of the garrison of the former place and one of that of the latter had been killed. The conflict was still going on. The Bolsa was again closed on the 14th, but some jobbing took place at the Puerta del Sol, where the Three per Cents. were said to have somewhat de- clined. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. Some of these journals continue to comment on the Montpensier marriage, but they merely reproduce arguments with which the public is already familiar. The Journal des Debate gives an account of the Afrancesado counter-revolution which has just taken place at Lisbon. This statement may be considered as the official defence of the conduct of the QUEEN and her French advisers, and a most lame and impo tent defence it is. " We have received news from Lisbon to the Bth. The change of Ministry has caused general surprise in that capital, but has given rise to no disturbance. It appears that the dread of the new troubles at the future elec tions was the principal motive which induced the Qua en to call to office Marshal Saldanha, who pos sesses in a high degree the confidence of the army. It is stated that, in order to prevent any resistance 6n the part of some troops of the garrison, and a popular rising, the Queen sent in the evening of the sth, the day before the publication in the official Gazette of the dismissal of the Palmella Ministry, appointments, signed by her own hand, to all the chiefs of the corps which had been dismissed, desiring them to resume itn mediately the command of their troops. Thus, in the night of the 6th, General D. Carlos de Moscarenhos, com mander of the Municipal Guard of Lisbon, a resolute man, and much devoted to the Queen, found himself at the head of that body, which is the most important of the garrison of Lisbon. All the heads of the various corps, at the sight of the royal decree, gave up their commands, without opposition, to those whom they had replaced a few months back, Only in one regiment, when the order was given to the soldiers to take up arms, a young non-commissioned officer fired on an officer, and killd him on the spot. This was the only incident that signalised the counter-revolution. The troops have occupied the principal posts of the city, and tle population, were collected groups apparently - riectly around indifferent the bands t o thi s new change, of the different regiments, e hick were executing na tional airs. The Duke de Terceira, appointed General in-Chief of the northern provinces, has received the most extensive powers. He is to proceed at once to thou provinces, which were the centre of the last in surrection." The Lisbon correspondent of the National thus ex poses the intrigues of the Portuguese Afrancesados:— " For upwards of a fortnight the ground had been. mined under the Palmella Ministry, and that Ministry which was far from being homogeneous, allowed itself each day to fall away and become almost powerless. The s b e a c nk re t h i a n d tim r e a c t e i i o v n e d to fr e o l m o s e t h i t e s Q c o u ff e e e r n s , , by to e rn m e t a i n n g s n o i f s I D I e ie n t . z d , i t a , and thus to add to the embarrassments of business. Would you believe that lately the Ministry could not find 1,500,000 f. necessary to pay the troops? The mem bers of the Cabinet at last proposed energetic means of getting out of this situation, but the diplomatic character of Palmella caused them, to be rejected. Incapable of n g i o n v i e n r e t i i i i t ng by a t tb t e h is c clue r e i tcl period, n i a a ndberearn sla a , ri c i k i shackled e tt each d t iseon_ lentrri at the accused Him of want of energy, and indicated before hand an act of treason. It was, in fact, in preparation, and its menaces were visible to any one that carefully observed what was passing. The embassy of Madit I received and brought back almost every day to the châ teau the correspondence of Cabral with Dietz and the Queen. The first had frequent and lengthened inter views with the Charge d'Affaires of France, and Sal danha had several private audiences. During this time, the ex-Commander of the Municipal Guard, Dom Carlos Mascarina, so determined a Cabralist, who had remained at Lisbon, was intriguing with the ex-colonels and heads of regiments, and engaging them in the conspiracy in the name of the Queen. All the preparations were ter minated for October 4th, but the blow was not struck until the night of the 6th. The conspirators remained either in the Palace or the neighbourhood. At midnight, the Queen sent for Palmella, Bomfim, and some other principal functionaries. She declared to them that she had resolved to change her Cabinet, and at the same time presented to Palmella the decree appointing the new Ministers, saying to him, ' I have charged the Marquis de Saldanha to form a new Cabinet ;' Palmella made some observations to the Queen on her determination ; he represented the perils which there would be for the monarchy itself to disregard the wishes of a whole popu lation, only a few weeks after a victorious insurrection. The Queen replied that Saldanha was as much the friend of l i b erty as a ny other, &c. The resistance continued, but the assurances that there was no intention of effecting a counter-revolution were repeated several times, and the functionaries thus called in the middleof the night, learned that the palace was guarded by the most devoted friends of Cubral. Bomeen was next made to sign an order, call ing on all the troops of the garrison to assemble at day break on the Place du Terreiro, near the palace. When all this was terminated, the Queen withdrew, and, at the moment when Palmella and Bomfim wanted to go away, an officer on service came to declare to them that they were prisoners, and that they could not leave without further orders. They were there still on the 7th of October, at seven in the evening. In the morning, the inhabitants of Lisbon on awakening e absephecetldoftahecistytrienetas occupied by soldiers. Patrols of cavalry w ere p ass i ng up and down in every direction. Not a cry or movement took wa posts w n oiseo of arms, sti h doubled, all th e mus k ets slate of There egree; all t he charged, and the artillery, protected by a strong battalion, was On t h e Place de Terreiro. At the same time ap peared the Diaria of the Government, containing the proclamation of the Queen, and th e d ecrees c h anging the Ministry. It was like a thunder -stroke to the people. They soon learned that the regiments were com manded by their old colonels. Dom Carlos Masca rina was seen in the streets in grand uniform, whilst his brother, the Marquis de Fronteira, resumed his place as Civil Governor of Lisbon. The Duke de Terceira was going to resume the command of the division of the North. The National Guard is dis solved ; all the constitutional guarantees are suspended for thirty days. The new Ministry, with Sal daubs at its head, is invested with the dictatorship, un der the orders of the Queen. In fact, the treachery is Complete. The troops, who had not been paid, received double pay for the day's duty. There were not ten contes in the state coffers, but plenty of money was found to pay the effecters of the conspiracy and to ac complish this work of darkness. Monarchies, it ap pears, strike all their blows by night. This one was so a t h, Orleansi that t t w i w a s diplomatici pf Family-rvepena g r el d . at:: iasi well prepared that resistance was impossible. However, all the men the most ultra and the most compromised in the revolutionary party hastened to join Caesar Vas concellos ; others left for the provinces, where the in surrection had commenced. Such is the state of things a a n g d en c t o s n concluded d F e dr France e the n d Queen, n Dietz,Spain, np ported by this Saldanha, who, in his proclamation, speaks of duty and virtue. It is thus that revolutions 1 0, 0 a l n ` hde opening to are punished for their moderation. Can any ono be as tonishednte. terrible?" The s The same paper complains of the expense to which France is subjected to maintain the influence of the r s i:: i r n s e a k n i d nd tr w a published yesterday, in its official pert, another royal ordinance, bearing the date of Oct. to the Minister of Foreign Affeirs a supplementary credit of 200,000 f. for expenses of velling. t w h e e ek in s a . tri r tn t has beenTh is issuedis t: f d o t u a r i t n h gtiie i ordinance astfe o w f the matrimonial sdarleulated that the proceedings to which conventions of Madrid have given rise cannot cost the budget less for travelling expenses than 500,000 f." Among the Spanish officers seized and incarcerated by order of the French Government in the Castle of lllaye, is the old Marquis DE VALDESPINA. The Gnyenne states that the Marchioneis, who was re siding at her seat at Marquina, on hearing of the incarceration of her husband, was struck with apo plexy, and died instantaneously. On learning this dreadful intelligence," pursues the Gupenne, " the Marquis De Valdespina remained without sens . ation for several hours. A physician was obliged to via him t ice duri ng t h e d ay , an d a t presf nt he is confined to his bed, The Marquis is upwards of 70, and wants the ri g ht Grin ; his health, previously delicate, is much impaired by the humidity and unwholesomeness I of the citadel of Blaye." i We do not envy Louis PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT their feelings on reading the above account. It is seldom that a more wanton act of cruelty has been ever perpetrated, even by absolutist and irresponsible Governments, than the incarceration in the damp and unwholsome dungeon of Blaye of this old Spanish nobleman, who has been guilty of no crime, and whose honour is untainted. This outrage reflects the deepest disgrace on all the parties concerned in its perpe tration. The French Government is concentrating a strong force on the borders of Switzerlaid, evidently with the intention of intervening actively in that country to put down the spread of Liberal opinions. The Journal de l' din of the 16th says— "We learn to-day that the French troops have re ceived orders to march towards the Swiss frontier. A battery of artillery from Lyons is to proceed—part to Nantua, and part to Ferney, there to remain until fur ther orders. Two battalions of the 68th, in garrison at Lyons, are to proceed—one to Nantua, and the other battalion to Ges. The fort De l'Ecluse is to be rein forced by two companies detached from these battalions. It is said that Austria and Sardinia are also about to station troops on the frontiers." M. GuizoT seems ambitious of being the M. DE VILLELE of the dynasty of the Barricades. Already is he adopting the traditions of the Restoration, and the France of 1846 will soon become, under his government, the France of 1823. The Journal des Debats announces that the Bey of Tuxes intends to embark on the 15th on his voyage to France. In announcing this decision to the French Consul-General, the BEY declared that he was so much gratified by the benevolent solicitude of the KINQ of the FEENCH, and so sensible of the value of the present made to him of the steamer Dante, that he wished to express to his MAJESTY in person his deep acknowledgment, and to assure him of his devoted attachment. The BEY added, that he was most desirous of returning the visit of the French Princes, who, when they came to Tunis, expressed so much interest in the prosperity of his country. The BEY communicated this intention to Sir THOMAS READ, the English Consul, and informed him that he would go to London, and pay his respects to her Britannic MAMSTY.

TROTTING AT HOUNSLOW, FOR 501. A SIDE.—The an nounced match for the above sum, between Mr. Bart lett's Tinker and Jenks's cob (the property of Mr. llildt r), came off on Tuesday, from the 13th to the 10th milestone on the western road. The start took place at a minute after five ; for the first mile and a half Tinker led, and increased the distance gradually until he had cleared an interval of 150 yards good between himself and his opponent. From this point, however, the cob drew slightly upon him. The confusion at the goal was shameful, and the latter part of the cob's performance materially interfered with by the closing in of eques trians and pedestrians after the passing of the leading horse. One man was knocked down by Tinker, and he broke ; but as the match was according to the Amer:can rules, he did not back or turn, but 111 W a LI OL. Ibis was within a few yards of the winning -post. The cob was then well up, and too close to be pleasant, but he also broke from a similar cause. The scene was alarinirig from the pressure of the multitude, and highly danger ous for the public and the drivers. These matches should be contested on regular courses, or enclosed grounds, and not on the turnpike road. Eventually Tinker was , declared the winner, having covered the three miles in a second or two under nine minutes 1 The betting was at odds in favour of Tinker, and the settling, therefore, comparatively light. PEDESTRIANISM. SULLIVAN AND KINISERLEY.—This quarter of a mile race between Sullivan, of Lambeth, and Kimberley, of Bermondsey, for 5/. a-side, came off at the Jolly Caulk ers, Lower-road, Deptford, on Monday morning, between the hours of six and eight. At starting, Sullivan took the lead, and at 300 yards was 20 a-head of his opponent, who here made an effort to reach him, which he was unable to accomplish, being out paced, Sullivan winning by a dozen yards. The Baron Davillier, Peer of France, an old and respected banker, died in Paris on Sunday, aged 88. The Right Ilon. Lord Morpeth arrived at Doug , las's Hotel on Friday, and along with Mr. Nixon, architect of her Majesty's office of works; on Saturday visited Holyrood Palace, and inspected the Queen's Drive round Arthur's Seat. His Lordship left this city on Sa turday evening, on a visit to Lord Blantyre, at Erskine House.—Caledonian Mercury. Sir Robert Gordon, late British Ambassador at the Court of Austria, is expected to arrive in town in a few days from Vienna. THE EARL Or Liwcor.N.--We understand the sonstituents of the Noble Member for the Falkirk burghs have concurred in inviting his Lordship to a public dinner at Hamilton, but that important engagements in Ikeland—whither his Lordship sailed yesterday—have prevented him accepting the invitation.—Glasgow Con- The Duck lighter arrived from Woolwich on Saturday, with stores for the dockyard. PUBLIC BATAS AND WASHHOUSES IN ST. MARTIN'S PAnisu.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have offered to lease the stone-yard, in Orange-street, Lei cester-square, to the Commissioners appointed to carry out the Act in that parish, recently adopted to " encou rage the e s t a bli s h ment of baths and washhouses :' An epidemic has for some time past existed among park deer, which has now assumed a threatening cha racter. The epidemic bears a similarity to the disease now prevailing among cattle. It is of an inflammatory description, and affecting the throat—a few days decides the fate of the deer. The epidemic is confined chiefly to full-grown bucks and does. NEW STOCK AND SHARE EXCHANGE.—A meeting of the members If this society took place on Tuesday at the Exchange in Old Broad-street, for the election of a board of management, and the adoption of certain rules and regulations for the guidance of the members of the society. IMPROVEMENTS TN THE CITY.—The re paving of Cheapside with granite, which has rendered that great thoroughfare—the most crowded in the metropolis— almost impassable for several weeks, is now nearly con cloled. It is expected that both sides of the street will be open to vehicles in a few days. The houses in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, which were mentioned the other day as about to be thrown down for the purpose of allowing that handsome structure to be seen to greater advantage, are expected to be wßolly removed in less than a fortnight, when that part of the City will present a very different appearance from what it has hitherto done. Great progress was made yester day in the work of pulling down the house, westward of the Hall of Commerce. Another great improvement, which, however, is only in embryo at present, thou g h it is confidently believed it will soon be a " great fact," is the erection of a handsome viaduct extending from Snow hill to the top of Holborn-hill. The plans have been pre pared, and measures are about to be taken to bring the project before the public. VICTORIA PARK.--Since the accession of Lord Morpeth to office as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, some important changes have been made in the plans for the completion of the park. Amongst others, two portions of about twelve acres, at eithep end are to be appropriated as cricket-grounds, with which a gymnasium is to be connected. A plan for the erection of a museum is also under the consideration of the Com missioners. The utmost vigour is now shown in the pre parations for planting, which will, it is expected, be completed in the enstiin ; ;; spring. IMPORTANCE OF LLOYD'S.—The vast importance of Lloyd's establishment t o merc h ants, shipo wners under writers, and others, int eres t e d i n maritime affairs,rs, may be easily gathered from the fact that on Monday there were received no less than 57 British and Irish manu script shipping list s , w i t h 58 foreign ditto together newspapers to the sam e extent. Thisnot by "is any 'i means a solitary instance o f t h e receipt of so vast a mass of shipping and mercantile intelligence in one day. To judge of the well- organ i sed arranfrement of the esta blishment, hi:shed:eat, it may be o b served that ° each list and news paper has been r ea d an d checked through carefully, which great labo ur was accomplished on Monday les ' t by the usual hour of closing the business of the day. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was again rather brisk, but Shares were not very active. Much interest and conversation has taken place in the City this morning upon the subject of the East India Railway, it having been stated that at the Secret Court of the Directors of the East India House, to be held this afternoon, the report of the eminent engineer, Mr. Simms, sent out to ascertain the practicability of con structing railways in India, and the best line to be commenced, is to be read. It is hardly probable that the report referred to, though looked for with great anxiety, will be made public, before it has been for warded in due course for the consideration of the Indian Board connected in the administration of the af fairs of the country, in conjunction with the Di rectors in Leadenhall-street. Latterly there have been some considerable transactions in the East India Railway Shares, and should the report cur rent prove correct that 4 per cent. is to be guaranteed, with half profits after a certain period, the market for all scrips of railway contemplated to be made in the vast country under consideration, must be most materially enhanced. Beyond the advices which we publish of the state of affairs at the Cape of Good Hope, there is little in the private letters requiring comment, as they are princi pally filled with commercial matters, and upon the whole it is represented to us that the condition of trade is very satisfactory. All the Public Securities are a fraction lower than they were yesterday. Consols for the Account have just been done at 95, and for immediate transfer to 941. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are down to 94j. Bank Stock is firm at 206 i ; Exchequer-bills have receded to 13s. premium ; India Bonds have been quoted at 275. premium. In the Foreign Stocks there have not been any impor tant variations to-clay. Austrian Metalliques have im proved to 111} ; the Brazilian are at 851 ; the Mexican at 234 4. Mr. Murphy, the financial agent of the Mexican Republic has given his promised expose as to the debt and the late conversion. He contends that he had full powers to effect the conversion, and expresses his firm conviction that it cannot, or ought not, to be set aside. Mr. Murphy's statement, in extenso, will be found in another part of The Sun. Portuguese Four per Cents. for Account are at 421, Spanish Actives at 26, the Three per Cents. at, 37i, the, Dutch FOur per Cents. at 921 92, and the Brazilian at 854.
