SPAIN. MADRID, AUG. 21.—Espartero still continues with the army, and leaves the Ministry to shift for itself. The French here affect a great triumph, and assert that in future the destinies of Spain will he entirely in their hands. If their hopes are exclusively founded on the probable longevity of the new Cabinet, their mounds for rejaicing are not the most rational. They also assert that Espartero himself has been undergoing for some titre a course of discipline, under the direction of French diplomatists, to prepare him for the task he has undertaken. His conduct at least favours the report, and may possibly have created it. Letters from Teruel, dated the 17th, assert that General Oraa had proceeded to join Buerens, who was in the neigh bourhood,of Santa Eulalia. The factious were there as sembled in the Sierra of Poro, Cedrillas, and Monte Aguado, with the Pretender. Brigadier Alcuin, who was recently ordered to La Mancha to put down th; factious in that province, appears to be succeeding in the objects of ha m►ssion. He has had two encounters with the rebels in that district, in which they suffered considerable loss. • The report of the death of Escalera by his troops has been confirmed. Brigadier Leon has arrived here to join the division of Espartero. Brigadier Alcala also arrived here yesterday from Mendez Vigo's division with a message to the Government, the nature of which hes not transpired. The last accounts place Espartero at Torrelaguna, about six leagues from Madrid. It is generally reported that General Seaone has received sixteen challenges from the officers of Espartero's division shlce his speech in the Cortes on the subject of their revolt. It bas been even asserted that he runs much risk of assassi nation, such is the enmity excited by his exposure of the consiliracy. The report of Narvaez's death, which was current here yesterday, has been contradicted. His health suffered ouch recently, and he goes, with the permission of the Govern.nent, to Andalusia for its recovery. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS BRUSSELS, Aug, 30 —Their Majesties were expected to return from Eaglai;(.l to Ostend on the 10th of Sep tember, and to go to B m ssels on the 12th. The average prices of Wheat and Rye in the week ending the 26th of August were :—Wheat, 171. 19 ; Rye, 11f. 16 per hectolitre ; Imperial duties, 37f. 50 ; and 211. 50 per 1,000 kilogrammes. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 29.—The King gave yesterday at the Hague an extraordinary audience to Sir E. Disbrowe, the En g lish Ambassador, on his return from Lond on. The Hoop smack, which was stranded eff Schweningen, went to pieces on Saturday night. On Sunday, morning, at 4 o'clock, the pleasure cutter Zoe was stranded to the west of the village. It belongs to BAron Treyl Van Se rooskerken. The company, among whom was M. Casimir Perier, Secretary to the French Legation, had been on an excursion, and left the cutter the evening before, which re mained at anchor, but was driven on shore by a storm from the W.N.W. Two men and a pilot were in great danger, but got safe on shore. The vessel lies very high on the beach. . . . ----- COBURG, AUG. 17.—Our Duke is at present on a tour on the banks of the Rhine, to visit his sons, who are stu dying at Bonn. The reports of a marriage between the he reditary Prince and Queen Victoria have died away, and I do not venture to express any conjectures on the subject ; but every body who has the honour to know the Prince will readily allow that he is a very amiable young man, en dowed with all the virtues befitting his rank and age.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1837. We perceive by one of the papers that delights in gathering up the drippings of Toryism from every ob scure corner, that a small knot of worthies professing themselves members of a certain Cheshire Associa tion, misnaned " Conservative," met the other day at Stockport. For what purpose they took this trouble we cannot tell, because the world was already pretty well convinced that there is not a more foolish and ridiculous (because foolish) set of people on .the face of the earth than the Tories of Stockport. They have a vague undefined idea that they ought to oppose what other Tories oppose, and abuse what other Tories abuse—namely, her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and their Liberal measures ; but so stupid are they that they cannot for their lives find out the way to perform so very easy and simple a task. They cannot set about it like other persons ; but absolutely burlesque the cause which has the misfortune of being adopted by them. The Poet says— _ " Its proper power to hurt each creature feels, Bulls aim their horns, and asses lift their heels." But had he lived to see the antics of the Stockport Tories, he certainly would have made them an excep tion from his general rule. Had he been in the Stock port Menagerie on Wednesday last, he would have found animals there, that with every possible desire " to hurt," were so unconscious of their " proper power," that the long-eared ani mal might be observed aiming his horns, and the horned one lifting his heels—bruin attempting to play off monkey tricks, and pug labouring with all his might to sting. What Tories of this description said or did, cannot be of the least consequence to any but themselves. There was a gentleman of the name of EGERTON, Member of Parliament for North Cheshire, who spoke in a very desponding tone of the prospects of the anti national—alias the Hanoverian—party in this country; and for so doing—for uttering the only thing that had a glimmering of sense about it, he was rather sharply called to order by a pertish person with the queer name of GRIMSDITCH, who we believe is the same worthy wha got himself smuggled in M.P. for Macclesfield, by dint of corruption of the foulest kind. This worthy re marked that " lie (GRIMSDITCH) felt himself hound to differ from the Hon. Member for North Cheshire in regard to the result of the recent election—a result which he ccntenzplated without fear." He is a bold fel low, is he 110t—RITADAMANTHUS GRIMSDITCII. M.P. for Macclesfield ? The arrivals from China have brought some further de tails relative to the determination of the Government at Pekin to put down the opium trade, and compel Mr. Jardine, Mr. Dent, and other British merchants to leave Canton. The following is a translation of so much as is original of the second Report of his Excellency the Hoppo on th• sub ject of the late orders and measures respecting the foreign merchants in Canton and the opium trade. After detailing the various circumstances connected with his first Report, dated on the 29th of December, his Excel lency proceeds as follows : .4 We find that opium at the present moment is very abundant, and the price of sycee exrremely high. The stores of opium arise from the combinations of traitorous natives. " This is an indispustable fact. It is proved that the Hong merchants have stated in their report that they do not act as go-betweens in the smuggling of opium, and that the foreign merchants also do not receive any money and deliver opium orders ; this is difficult to be believed ; still as we have not yet obtained any proof that they are playing the traitor, we, therefore, cannot act on mere rumour only, and conclude them guilty, which would have the appearance of intentionally causing annoyance and distress. " As to the foreigners who have hitherto frequented Canton, only the English have a very extensive trade. Lately, because the Company has been dissolved, and Tae pans do not come, each foreign merchant manages his own business. " Jardine's trade, and that of others is very extensive, and winter is the busiest time. To order them now abruptly away would not look like a compassionate regard. " Former governors, in their several reports on the fixed regulations, have represented that at times the goods of foreigners are not sold, and that it would be hard dealing to drive those ships out of the port. The foreigners were therefore allowed to dwell in Macao for a short time until they had finished their business, and to engage their pas sage, and return in the succeeding year. This has been the practice for many years, which is on record. Now Jardine, Dent, and Turner have dwelt in the provincial city for many years; it will be difficult to anew of longer delay. We have ordered all of them down to Macao in the second moon of next year, and to quickly finish their affairs and go home. Not the least delay or opposition will be al lowed. " When the time is arrived and they are not gone, whether they have linked themselves on with natives to engage in the nefarious transactions of opium dealing, an immediate and strict examination roust be made, and the heaviest punishment inflicted, by which the laws will be manifested and the practices put a stop to." There was a good sprinkling of Parsons at the meeting. This is a matter of course ; wherever any evil is hatching against the progress of knowledge and the liberties of the people, there we are as sure to find the black gentry, as to find the ravens attracted by the scent of carrion. The meeting was incomplete in one material respect. Though there were oddities encugh there, one was omitted, for which nothing could make amends—Mr. PowNA LI., the rejected of Finsbury at the former election, and of Middlesex at the last, did not make his appearance. We suppose he was detained at Liverpool, where he has been preachi►►g a sermon to the outvoters who came up from that town to support WOOD and him in the county of Middlesex. This is what he calls standing upon the Reform Bill ! It is understood that PowN ALL means to tramp the country, and deliver this precious piece of Evangelism at as many places as he can find fools to listen to him. -He rates it very high, and well he may, since it took him a good month's time to concoct. The question of the Ballot is, as we anticipated it would do, daily growing in importance with the people. Meetings in its favour have been already announced in many of the most influential country towns ; a►,d among other emphatic signs of the times on the sub ject, we may refer our readers to another column of this day's Sun, where they will find a report of an in teresting public meeting that took place on Tuesday last expressly on the question of the Ballot: At this meeting there •was but one opinion on the matter, namely, that the Ballot must be conceded. So say we. Reform cannot progress without it, as experience has already fully shown. The least, therefore, that Mi nisters can do, is to make it an open question. In Tait's Magazine for this month we find a clever, but, in our opinion, far from conclusive article, pur porting to embody an answer to the now all-important question—" How is the QUEEN'S Government to lie carried on ?” If the Radicals be noted for one qua lity more than for another, it is for their honest, straight. forward adherence to intelligible principles—for their manly avowal of facts—for their substitution of the practicable for the imaginative and the dishonest in the working of political science. It is their peculiar boast that they employ a political language intelligible to the common-sense, the moral, and matter-of-fact feelings of their countrymen. But from this standard of Ra dicalism, as hitherto exhibited by its leading profes sors, the article in Tait is a marked departure. No thing can be conceived more indistinct and shadowy than the writer's ideas as to the exact line of policy which Ministers ought to pursue—nothing imagined more lofty than the heroic contempt with which he looks down from the highest pinnacle of Mount Pa triotism upon the tiny obstacles that impede the rea lization of the hopes of the Radical party. He does not condescend to examine the political complexion of the New Parliament —h e does not think it worth his while to admit that a plan for the future guidance of the Cabinet might require to be materially consistently too with the highest regard for the national welfare—in consequence of the result of the first two or three divisions to which the Corningns mast pow THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1837. on one or more of the great questions which stand for ' discussion early in the ensuing Session. If Ministers will rot do, what it is very clear they cannot think of doing in the present quiescent state of public feeling, be is for throwing them overboard, and allowing the Tories to take the helm—unconscious of, or indifferent • to the fact that the Tories, by judicious management, might contrive to wriggle themselves into office, and that once there, it would be as difficult a job to dis lodge them as it ever was before the passing of die Reform Bill. His view of the actual position of Mi nisters, and of the light in which the public should 4- gard it, is equally narrow and erroneous. " Merc : Ti7 he says, " will be cried for Ministers once more, en account of their difficulties I—Consider their diffici4- ties ! We have been considering them for five years, and have never been able to get rid of the idea that they are either self-created or wilfully magnified; that they have grown by tolerance, and have sometimes been not unwelcome. Before sincere Reformers, these phantoms must eitln r have disappeared, or taken solid ; form long ago. Theie was a period when the Crown was hostile, when Ireland was almost in insurrection, and Mr. O'CONNELL denouncing Earl GREY'S government as—' base and bloody.' These were tangible difficulties—for O'CONNELL is a formidable foe, whatever sort of ally he may prove ; but where now is the invincible obstacle ? Has the want of the confidence of the country in Ministers taken the place of all those exploded difficulties? Or, rather, does any difficulty exist, save this dilemma—that the Tories will have office, and the people will have reform ? And how can a government act in the difficulty created by these violent antagonists, especially when it has re solved neither to surrender office, nor yet to give re form? Truly these difficulties inspire great sym pathy l" Now what a farrago of nonsense have we here. Is the writer so ignorant as not to know that the obstacle in the reforming path of Ministers is as great and as tangible now as it ever was—that it was and is the House of Lords ? What had DANIKL O'CONNELL ever to do with the obstruction of any measure demanded by the Radicals, that his name should be introduced as a Liberal playing into the hands of the Tories ? What measure of Radical Reform encountered the hostility of his vote even during the unobjectionable part of the Anti-Irish career of Lord GREY'S Administration ? It requires, we think, a tole rable stock of assurance to denounce the hostility of the House of Lords a " self-created difficulty which has grown by tolerance"—a " phantom" which has yet to assume a solid form I As they say in Scotland, the writer, whoever he may be, and we think we can re cognize his identity, " must have a hard cheek"—a face to which blushes are a stranger. We repeat, the difficulties of the Reform Cabinet will be found to centre in the existing Constitution of the House of Lords ; and, in the present temper of the people, we are not inclined to admit that difficulties springing from such a source, would be at all lessened by the voluntary resignation of the Whigs. On the contrary, we are persuaded that nothing could be more injurious at this particular juncture in the foreign and domestic relations of this country. The QUEEN has not yet 1 arrived at an age when political predilections can be presumed to exercise an influence over the Royal mind, too strong to admit of those nameless modifications which a faction skilful in Court intrigue might turn to dangerous account—principles involving the fate of Europe are at war in Portugal and Spain—a social and political earthquake agitates Italy—.and at home, though we deny the existence of re-action, we must admit that the people are not yet prepared for the practical agitation of the question of the sweeping away of the second branch of the Legislature. We know that Ministers are blamed for having occasioned the popular apathy—that they are accused of having by their timid vacillating policy disgusted their honest supporters. Undoubtedly, Ministers have not acted with sufficient energy ; and bitter, in consequence have been the re buffs, and many the indignities which they have been doomed to experience. But their continuance in office, after passing the ordeal of two general elections, is proof positive and conclusive that the people continue to place confidence in them. It was not their fault that the Municipal Corporations Bill for Ireland has not passed—they are not to blame for those abuses in the Irish Church for which they provided a remedy sanc tioned by the House of Commons, and hailed as a tranquillizing boon by the Irish Catholics—and they arc certainly entitled to the credit of having effected improvements in the • criminal code of this country which will reflect lasting honour upon their Adminis tration. Had Lord MELBOURNE'S Government nei ther effected, nor attempted to effect, more than it has done, towards the purification of the criminal statute law of England, it would have acquired for itself a just claim to be remembered with respect and gratitude by posterity. We are not professed admirers of the Whigs, as our readers well know ; but we have always done justice to their motives, and we will continue to support them as long as better and more Liberal states men are not to be found in a conditio❑ to occupy their places in the councils of Her MAJESTY. We are, moreover, persuaded that the Radicals are more than ever bound to " consider their difficulties," and to avoid useless collisions, which may end in the return of the Tories to power. The Radicals will yet have their day of triumph ; but if they really wish it to be soon, they must not provoke an exchange of a Reform ing for a Tory Cabinet, as such an event now would retard it more than any other that could possibly hap ' pen. When the people demand, and demand in a voice of thunder, a Reform of the Lords—then, and not till then, will we chime in with those who would now persuade the honest Radicals of the United Kingdom, that Ministers have only a " phantom" to overcome. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday. They bring no intelligence from Madrid of a later date than the 21st ; though it was rumoured that a dispatch had been received, the contents of which the Government thought proper not to commu nicate to the public. Of course it is presumed to be unfavourable to the QUEEN'S Governmentor rather to the QUEEN, for her Most Catholic MAJESTY, by her intrigues with ESPARTERO, may be said to be now without a Government. The Monde, a Paris journal of no political character, has the following ex traordinary announcement, which we submit to our readers without comment—simply because we more than doubt its authenticity : The Spanish papers have not reached us to-day ; but here is what a correspondence contains which has never de ceived us. We presume the dispatch received yesterday at the Home Office announced this decisive march of events : " On the 22d, in the morning, 77 Deputies assembled at the house of M. Arguelles, and drew up a proposition to the Cortes, dorn:lnding— " 1. The removal of Christina as Queen-Regent, leaving her the faculty of remaining with her daughter, in the name of whom she will govern a Regency, consisting of five mem bers, selected by the Cortes. " 2. The prosecution of Generals Espartero, Lahera, Ri bero, Van Halen, and generally of all the individuals having participated in the plot which has subverted the Calatrava Ministry. " 3. The requisition of all Spaniards from the age of 16 to that of 40. 4. The immediate dismissal of all the officers of Espar tero's corps d'armee. 5, The establishment of an extraordinary: C omm i ss i on , entrusted with the chastising of All individuals who shall op pose the new system of Government." This much, however, may be relied upon—the Cortex4 o 411 in their p9wer to thwart th e d es i gns of ESPARTERO, whose disgrace appears to l t c at hand. The Army, finding bun no longer the idol of the Na- ITALY. Wo have not time to do more, in respect of the letter of our Swig; Correspondent, which re arc about to subjoin; than to direct to it the attention of our readers. " LUCERNE, Ana. 27.—1 received this morning', a letter written by a Swiss offie.er in the service of the Pope. It is dated Ravenna, August 17. The following extract of it will enable you to form an idea of what is now going on, or about to take place, in Italy : The insurrections which have lately occurred on va rious points of Italy, and the disturbances in Sicily, which are said to have assumed a rather serious turn, have spread alarm in the Roman States, where partial risings are every mo ment apprehended. Our regiment, in garrison at Ra verme, has been supplied with ball cartridge, and received orders i.n hold itself in readiness to march at a moment's no ti c e. The fear of the cholera has in some measure sub sided, and made way for more alarming (political) appre hensions. Events calculated to bring about new distur bances throughout Italy may be considered as imminent. Let what will happen, we shell do our duty, and not belie the old character of loyalty and bravery ever attached to the Swiss name. " ' P.S.—This instant our regiment hag been ordered to _march to Forli, whence detachments are to be sent to dif ferent points, where popular movements are dreaded,'" — Times.

ESPARTERO is a compound of villainy and folly. Had he not been a villain, he would never have had recourse to a military conspiracy, to effect the overthrow of a Constitutional Government, in the presence of the National Representatives ; tine had he not been a fool, as well as a villain, he would not, after proceeding so far, leave it in the power of those Representatives to punish him for his crime before he had tasted the fruits of his ambitious daring. It is the property of base natures to conceive crimes without being able to perpetrate them. We are not, therefore, alarmed by the apprehension of the :Temps of Wednes day, which, on the authority of a current rumour, inti mates the probability of a real attack on Madrid by the Christino Commander-in -Chief. EsPA RTERO IS too timid to attempt any thing of the kind, knowing, as he must, that there is, not a private in his ranks who would not join the Cortes. There is no domestic news •f any moment in the Paris Journals, save the brief announcement that, at a Council of Ministers held on Wednesday morning, at which the Duke of ORLEANS presided, the expe dition against Constantine was finally resolved upon. His Royal Highness had just then returned from the reviews at Compiegne, where both himself and the Duchess HELENA met with a most enthusiatic recep tion, from the assembled chivalry of France. A report of the capture of Vittoria by the Carlist chief TARRAQUAL, was current in Paris on Wed nesday. The fact, however, was doubted by all but the partisans of the Pretender. Vittoria, though the capital of one of the Basque provinces, is a place of no strength, and stands in the centre of a bleak plain, at a considerable distance from the sea. • The British Legion there first experienced the hardships and the Ministerial bad faith, with which its subsequent career in Spain made it so fatally familiar. The present King of Hanover has just claimed all the diamonds of the Crown of England as family property, taken to England by his ancestor, George I. The proof of the property is said to result from the inventories drawn up at the end of each reign, and which show that George I. on his..accession found at London • only a few jewels of small value ; and, on the other hand, from the inventories of the family of Hanover, which show the quantity and the value of the diamonds transmitted to George 1., and from which their perfect identity may be ascertained. Ac cording to the family statutes these diamonds are trans ferred, as well as the crown, to the male heirs. This point is not contested, and cannot cause any difficulty. The ques tion is entirely one of fact, and consists in deciding whether the present diamonds of the English Crown are really those brought to England by George I. It should seem that nothing is more clearly established, and the Coinmissioners appointed to inquire into the facts have found their task to be provokingly easy. The Diane di Roma at length confesses that the cholera is at Rome. Some physicians had doubted of it, because there is at Rome, besides the cholera, another fever called Algida Perniciosa, but the number of cases and the cha racter of the disorder leave no doubt. Up to the 17th there had been 132 cases of cholera and 53 deaths. FRENCH FUNDS.-Ps ass. Ana SO. Five per Cents., 110 E 55c. 60e. 50c. 55e. Four per Cents., 1011. 75c. 80c.

WATERLOO BRIDGE.—It is now a considerable time since the tolls on a certain kind of carriages were di minished at this bridge ; and now the revenue arising from that particular kind has increased, while the revenue from other carriages which pay higher toll has diminished, as cannot be denied at the bridge office. This result should induce the proprietors to lower their tolls generally ; and if they are so blind as to neglect it the public are injured thereby, and Government should exert its influence to in duce them to benefit themselves and the people at the same time ; especially as the proprietors cannot lose by the trial, because they can return again to the present tolls imme diately their revenue appears to be diminishing. If a pas senger paid a halfpenny instead of a penny then four times more people would pass, and the revenue would be doubled. VICTORIA TII EA TR E.—Last evening the per formances at this theatre were Lucille, or the Story q f a Heart ; Forty and Fifty; with the afterpiece of Paid and ri•ginia. With such a variety the audieke must hate been difficult to please, considering the manner in which they were supported, if they did not find some scenes to gratify and amuse them, We are bound to observe, from the manner in which pieces have recently been represented at the Victoria, that it is fully entitled to the patronage which of late it bits received, The great attraction, how ever, of last night was the performance of Mrs. Hooper in the character of Lucille. It was a beautiful and faultless representation of woman in the most interesting and attrae. tive situations—the supporter of a blind and helpless ad= wirer ; his discarded lover when restored to health ; and, notwithstanding all her sufferings, her heart still clinging fondly to this image he presented when she was his only support, and the attractions of the world had not won him front her. In sustaining. such a character, there was iq Mrs. Hooper's actin all the spill 10 04 with the moist (lel;vaim display of 4 4 In L s ringing the home feelings of an aileetionate lenwle before the public. Such acting as that of Mrs. Hooper is alone sufficient to secure the at• tendance of crowded audiences ; and we feel quite assured the more her talents become known, the more certain must the victoria Theatre be of having its visitors increased.

A CI-DEVANT FASHIONABLIR REGION.—About a stone'i throw from Russell-square there is a formal old fashioned street, one side of which consists of small houses, the majority of which are usually let out in lodgings to the minor class of merchants, foreign as well as domestic, who having no city establishment of their own content themselves with a mere counting-house ; or to single gentlemen of slender income from the country, who come one week to take wing the next. The other side consists of a quaint range of dingy buildings, vast in structure, aristocratic in aspect, with lofty entrance halls, broad stone staircases, and sculptured doorways of a pattern now all but extinct. During the major part of the 18th century this street, or rather this side of it, for the other was not then built, was one of the favourite abodes of metropolitan wealth and rank ; Int its glory has long since departed from it, and few save those in its immediate neighbourhood know it oven by name. Towards the west it expands into an antiquated square, the garden of which is laid out in the style of Queen Anne's day, with a wooden statue of a crowned king at one end, and a dumpy church at the other, hard by which stands a cobbler's stall, and eastward it terminates in a bustling thoroughfare—the only convenient way by which horses and carriages can approach it. Pass by this street at any hour of the day you please and scarce a soul shall you meet with, except, perhaps, some prim old lady creeping stiffly along with a powdered footman behind her, or a veteran lawyer retired retired from the world, and anxious for solitude. a t is a fashion, and complete in itself, unknown to the world of lot:: and voted " low" by the upstart world of commerce, formal families aristocratic side being inhabited chiefly by sedate stubborn tofall in t o hiei the middle d n d i er march class, f ihnod tooadhere d 1 to the a f of their ancestors by eating fish with _a Biackwoods Man, fork, and , persistmg in the vulgarity of port after cheese. • Prince Tallevrand is much better, and passes much of his time with his old acquaintance and country neighbour.
