Among the numerous propositions for the relief of Ireland, among the divers schemes which have been propounded in succession for extricating that fertile but misgoverned country from her enormous national embarrassments and for enabling her popu lation to work out their own prosperity and happiness, the minority have been specious and illusory, the vast majority impracticable, and not one —no, not one—calculated to effect any permanent or catholic improvement. The remov a l o f di sa bili t i es u p on th ose who might enter upon leases equally profitable to landlord and tenant is, unquestionably, a propitiou. and important plan. The encouragement of agricul tural' enterprise, of tile draining, of extensive liming, of scientific irrigation , of employing chemical and artificial manures, and of cultivating something more nutritious and remunerative than mere esculents, is likely not only to turn a naturally fruitful soil to the greatest advantage, but to afford an extraordinary amount of employment in farm labour. The removal of the taxation upon foreign speculation, by the free-trade measures, in itself is an enormous boon. Temporarily, again, the public works undertaken by a paternal Government have materially benefited the destitute. In striving to prevent the wholesale evictions of the peasantry, to compensate the retiring tenant for the improvements effected upon the land during the interval of hi, lease, and to render absentees and resident-landlords severally interested in the welfare of their subordi nates, the Legislature has been both benevolent and sagacious. Admirably, however, as these arrang-- rnents were suited to the more immediate exigencies of the people, there has still remained a necessity for the adoption of some more comprehensive system for their general and perpetual advancement. Their ambition must be excited by emulation. t The love of exercise engendered in their reasts by the climate must be developed into a con tinuous and organized industry. The Irish must be by some means remo w ve h d ich from the political and mer cantile isolation in not by their geographicalthey have been plunged, position, Th but by the mere -casualties of circumstancey must be placed -somehow in the crowded and stirring Zion—once placed there, withdrawa,torra''swkluh(g)foTeelisvhinlie.zass, 01' eiestitution will be impossible.

' ' will circulate freely and generously among them ; they will be animated by the wholesome fluctuations encited by the din, and morally elevated by the inter course with their fellow-men, consequent upon inter national traffic. Once place Ireland directly in the track of the commercial orbit by which the other kingdoms of the globe have become so prosperous and so powerful, and her miseries are for ever dissi pated and her glory is already predoomed. In the prospectus of the Wexford and Valentia Railway Company we recognise the indication of the first step towards the commercial orbit to which we have alluded. It will not have escaped the public recollection, that it was originally proposed by this company to connect Wexford and Valentia by a direct line of communication running across the south of Wexford, transversely through Kilkenny and Waterford, through the centre of Cork, and thence through Kerry to its destination. That scheme has been abandoned, and we think judiciously. A new proposition is made by the provisional directors—a proposition much simpler, much less expensive, and, to our thinking, much more efficacious. To condense the scheme into, one sentence—it is proposed that there shall be a line of railroad only forty miles in length from KillLrney to Valentia, that line being connected at the former spot with the lines granted during the last session ofParliament. By this admirable arrangement a moat enormous outlay is avoided while all the original advantages are secured. The 251. share will be reduced to a 101. share, and thereby the liabilities of the shareholders will be wonderfully decreased. cultivated men have long ago abandoned it : the principle that it is sinful to overthrow established tyranny in any country, and under any provocation.' The advantages of the proposal which we have just explained, while they are obvious to every reflective mind, are of such extraordinary importance that some allusion to them is absolutely requisite. We should be incapable of appreciating the value of geogra phical position and mercantile opportunities, were we to allow this remarkable scheme to pass without an immediate and emphatic approval. It must be remembered that Valentia would by this arrange ment be placed in direct communication with the capital, and that, being the nearest har bour to America, ani one of the noblest ports in the United Kingdom, it would thereby ensure to itself an endless and gigantic traffic. As was ad mirably implied at the Court of Baronial Session assembled in Cahirciveen, on the 9th of November last, the western portions of Ireland would be no longer dependent upon the eastern ports and channel navigation—always a tedious and precarious medium of transit—for Government stores and provisions. Vast expenses would be thereby re moved, much time would be saved, infinite trouble avoided. It is not, however, in these de tailed advantages that we recognise the excellence of this projected line. It is in its influence upon the Irish population generally. Although covering a length of merely forty miles, we conceive this Va lentia and Killarney Railway to be of a national im portance. By it in a great measure Ireland would be placed immediately in the current of in tercourse ebbing and flowing between the new world and the old. It would share largely in the profits of commercial speculation between the two hemispheres. It would render Ireland a path for Europeans and Americans to traverse. Gigantic markets would be opened directly for Irish produce and Irish manufactures. Such an impetus would be given to industry and enterprise in the island as would act upon all classes of its popu lation—upon its agriculturists, its manufacturers, its landowners, its tenantry, its farm-labourers, its .artizans, its shop-keepers, its ship-owners, its mer chants. Every one would be materially benefited by the stimulus, work would be afforded to those out of employment, provisions would necessarily be more plentiful, large additions of capital would be em barked in the undertakings which it would render inevitable. For our naval forces the magnificent har bour of Valentia, would then present many advan tages. Situated on the most prominent and central of the peninsulas of Kerry, between Dingle Bay and the mouth of Kenmare River, it is immeasurably more accessible than Cork, and infinitely more con venient for American traffic. which shall amount to an acte, and everything leads us to believe that M. Guizot, who on the first day was de cided as to the spirit, is now closely occupied with the form. This will be a real event, and it will not long be delayed." We see no reason for classing Mr. MEEHAN among cultivated men, and therefore hold it of little consequence what principle he either aban dons or cherishes. But if the principle here laid down is to have any meaning or practical import, which, from the bluster they make about it, we suppose must be intended, it can signify only this, that England tyrannizes over Ireland, and that the provocation is so great that it would not be sinful to upset the English Government. It must mean this or nothing. This argument, then, is plain, down right rebellion. Such is the view taken of it by Mr. O'CoNNELL, and, independently of his high attain ments as a criminal lawyer, and his vast experience in political matters, no rational man can doubt that he has done right in weeding out from the ranks of the Association such reckless doctrinaires. "No reason," observes Mr. MEEHAN, " has been urged for yielding our conscientious convictions to the will of Mr. O'CoNNELL, but might equally be insisted upon for the betrayal of nationality, honour, or religion." This is to be taken, we imagine, for irony. Be it so, it is miserable twaddle. A major cannot be contained in a minor:; and if Mr. MEEHAN cannot concede that Mr. O'Commu.'s past struggles and successes afford a presumptive reason for subjecting his opinion to the judgment of Mr. O'CoNNELL, we can only regret that his intellect is so devoid of elas ticity. We are not bound to furnish him with an understanding. If we did this for one, another would soon be asking for the same boon. In all probability the Rev. Dr. OTARROLL would be the next candidate for the favour. This gentleman seconded Mr. MEEHAN, and ex pressed his disapprobation of " priests and bishops mingling in politics, because it gave a tone of secta rianism." Then, what possible business had Dr. O'CiAtuoLx. with the meeting in question ? Why set his opinions and actions fisticuffing against each other ? No proceeding of this nature can of course in terfere with the importance which has been so justly acquired by Liverpool, as the medium of intercourse between Great Britain, the West India islands, and the American continent. In the construction of th e Valentia Railway there is no destroying the interests of one locality for the benefit of another—there is only the greater diffusion of the blessings of commercial, so - cial,and intellectual traffic throughout the United King dom. After all, SYDNEY SMITii was right—the people of Ireland should not so much cry out " Erin-go bragh !" as "Erin-go-bread and cheese ! Erin-go thatch to keep the rain out ! Erin-go pantaloons without holes in them !" Those very sensible if not very poetical aspirations will be realised only by such plans as this of the Valentia Railway. Young Ireland is making a great spurt—the party is actually trying to assume an attitude. They are I evidently sorely vexed with their own diminutive ness, when contrasted with the stately stature of their powerful antagonist at Conciliation Hall. However, young Ireland has got into the field, though into the worst part of it. How the creature reached it no body knows ; but it certainly is there. The croaking noises that grated the ear, led the public to turn round and search for the intruder. This living curiosity was discovered concealed in some very rank grass. Its . body is excessively swelled, and its palpitations are distressingly manifest. Some say it is so swollen with rage, it will assuredly burst. It seems the sight of its lordly opponent on the same ground has led to this comical scene. The fable of the toad and the ox is faithfully brought to our recollection. A. meeting " of the Dublin Repealers opposed to the present policy of Conciliation Hall," was packed in the Round-room of the Rotunda, on Wednesday night. A sprinkling of the juvenile political de linquents appeared on the platform. The chair was filled by one Mr. COMYN, of Woodstock. His opening speech was well cheered, first, we should think, on account of its exceeding brevity, which is the soul of wit, and next, for the ex cellence of its matter, whereof the end-all and be-all was, that the present Government was the worst that ever undertook to manage Ireland, and that coalition with any English party was highly to be deprecated. All this was received as sublime truth, and so would have been any other nonsense that be might have chosen to utter. Let us proceed. The secretary, Mr. 11.1‘Gee, next strutted forward. His trick was a very good one. He announced that he had a letter from an eminent professional gentleman, marked private, which he could not therefore read, offering 1001. to any repeal organization that would enable Young Ireland to do their duty at the next election. 1 This was good by-play. The secretary is un doubtedly an adept at the game of hams pm. So fortunate, too, that the letter was marked private, coming, , as it did, f rom a professional gentleman ! Tne communication tickled the fancy, and the meet ing was so go o d-h umoure d th a t thi s littl e pi ece o f delusion went off a greea bl y enoug h. M r . RICHARD 0 . GORMAN, jun., gave vent to some choice rhodo montade. Ile would have it that the answer to the Cork Repealers was unsatisfactory and deceitful, and grew very lachrymose when he declared, that Conciliation Hall had degenerated so low as to be the committee room of an English faction. He reminded the meeting that he was unplaced, unpensioned, and unbought, and only wanted moral force to obtain repeal ? whereas Mr. O'CONNELL desired to use it in support of a Whig Government , The Rev. C. P. MEEHAN, C.C., tried his hand at oratory, and expatiated upon a report drawn up by their committee upon the origin of the dissensions between Old and Young Ireland. Both the report and the reverend gentleman were equally facetious. Their joint rnanceuvre consisted in attempting to prove that Mr. O'CONNELL, and not themselves, forced the secession. How many sane persons they expect to persuade to this, we cannot surmise. But we are satisfied the report will re main a monument of their own folly. That Mr. O'CONNELL would ever have dreamt of voluntarily weakening the repeal party by severance, unless he felt convinced that the very existence of the Association was endangered by the avowed principles of Young Ireland, is sheer nonsense. That this pregnant danger existed, is enforced by the language of Mr. MEEHAN himself. Ilis reverence let the cat out of the bag : "Mr. Co'CoNzieLL' s new reso l u ti ons contai n ed a prin ciple so obviously false and servile, that nearly all Dr. O'CARROLL elsewhere observes that " neither priest nor bishop should join any party, for be thought the people's own power and knowledge and influence should suffice to work out their independence." This is precisely our own opinion. We, there fore, recommend Dr. O'CARRoLL to remain in future quietly at home. But where was Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN during this farcical pa rade ? Great generals, we know, quietly seat themselves on an eminence, whilst a forlorn hope is advancing to breach the enemies' walls. We are not aware, however, that the Member of Limerick has, as yet, done anything to entitle him to such dignified repose. " Discretion is the better part of valour," and we should not be surprised if the war•cry of Young Ireland, under the advice of their acknow ledged general, were soon to resolve itself into " Sauve qui peut." We read in a letter from Limberg (Galicia) of the th ult..- According to the Prase, M. GUIZOT communicated on Wednesday, to his colleagues assembled in Ca binet Council at the Foreign-office, the substance of his answer ,to the note announcing the incorporation of Cracow, The same paper states that the Duc DB BORDEAUX and his bride are about to visit England. The Journal des Dibats, in answer to:the observations of the Constitutionnel, which we published yesterday, after a long introduction, reminding the Opposi tion press of the occasions on which they had com promised the alliance with England, says— " It must not be supposed that the outcries of the Op position journals have been without result. The irri tation that they have caused in France they have pro duced also in England. We are perfectly convinced that the affair of the Spanish marriages would have been viewed by our neighbours with a calmer and juster eye, were it not for the secret resentment which so much abuse kept brooding at the bottom of their hearts. They seized on the first pretext widen offered to send us back our reproaches of avidity, Of un satiable ambition, of perfidy. An alliance, which they beheld dependent on four votes in so paltry an affair as that of the Pritchard indemnity, appeared to them to merit but little confidence. No; the present difficulties are not the work of one day, but of six years. We pay at the present moment for the follies of the Opposition. We are now gathering the fruit of their declamations against a Government and a people who were stretching forth their hands to us. When everything has been done to destroy the enter* cordiale, with what a good grace any one can come forward and say the accord be tween France and England is the most powerful guaran tee of peace and liberty ! Peace and liberty I This, then, is what the opposition has been near to sacrifice to a foolish self-love, or something worse—to its rancour against M. Guizot in the Pritchard affair! At present, it is true, the Opposition turns round. Is it for the purpose of coming to the aid of its country in a difficult position? No; but to join its abuse to that of the English journals—to become the accuser of the French Government. It alone has broken the alliance !, England has good cause to be irritated ! The proceedings of M. Guizot have been in famous ! For a dowry, for a mere family ambition, 'he accord which best guaranteed peace and liberty has been broken Might there not be some means of re esta blishing this precious accord ? Perhaps there might. Fer instance, if Lord Palmerston accepted as a suffi - cient reparation the sacrifice of M. Guizot, would not all be terminated—to the satisfaction of M. Thiers ? Would not the alliance bloom forth again under the auspices of the two Ministers, who a ; reed so well together in 1840? The plan is excellent, and we recommend it to the admi ration of France. In this way would be explained these sudden accessions of sympathy for England. these hypo critical tears shed for the rupture of the alliance ! But what matter to us are your plans ? public honesty will treat them as they deserve. Your plans will fail, whilst your declarations will remain. You are par tisans of the English alliance. We are so likwise, and we have the advantage over you of having been a:ways so. We proclaimed before you, and we do so now with you, that this alliance is the surest guarantee of the peace and liberty of the world. Therefore it is that we do not believe in a definitive rupture. The peace and liberty of the world will not be sacrificed to paltry interests. The English nation is a noble one. The cloud will disappear, and the alliance of the two countries will be renewed on a more solid foundation than your miserable combina tions of persons. We shall wait. As to the two questions which you submit to us, and which you consider, no doubt, exceedingly insidious, nothing is so easy as to reply to them, or rather we have already done so. You ask us if it is not true that the French Government has endeavoured to fortify itself by an alliance with the Northern Powers, and if it was not after having seen this project fail that we have turned anew towards Eng land? We reply, in the most peremptory manner, No! This is all the embarrassment you cause us!" It is certainly rather rich to find M. GUIZOT sneer ing at an alliance as is a mere miserable combination of persons. What, we ask, was the entente cordiale but a " mere miserable combination of persons,' who sacrificed the honour of the two countries to " The sentences on 31 of the persons, all military men, tried for having taken part in the revolt at Przierris, have been published. Two officers were condemned to death, but the punishment has been commuted to 20 years' imprisonment in a fortress ; the chaplain of a regiment is sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment; several non-commissioned officers and soldiers are to labour from six to eight years on the fortifications ; and one officer and one soldier are acquitted." The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 30th ult., says— " A new law is daily expected at Limberg respecting the forced labour of the peasantry, and containing many concessions in their favour. It is said that Tarnow writl be the seat of government of Western Galicia, that Cracow will be fortified, and that all the commercial privileges and franchises now enjoyed by Podgorze will be extended to it." The Aix-la-Chapella Gazette, of the 30th ult., states that so great is the distress of the labouring classes at Berlin, that they are compelled to pawn al most everything they possess to procure bread. The crowd is so great at the doors of the pawnbrokers, that it has been found necessary to place sentinels there to procure order. We learn from Berlin, 26th ult., that the deputa tion of merchants and traders, who had arrived there from Breslaw for the purpose of representing the in jury that the commerce of Breslaw would probably sustain from the incorporation of Cracow, had been received by the Ministers, CANITZ and BODEL SCRWING, who obtained for them an audience of the KING, in which his MAJESTY declared that every thing proper would be done in the negotiations with Austria to protect the commerce of Silesia. It has already been stated from Berlin, that there was no truth in tha rumour of Austria having, in return for the annexation of the territory of Cracow to her empire, given indemnities of territory else where to Prussia and Russia. This contradiction is now officially given by the Austrian Observer. A letter from Bologna of the 25th November says " During the last week an occurrence took place at Bassano, in the province of Bologna, half a league from the Duchy of Modena, which had fatal consequences. A party of young men at a tavern, while regaling them selves, were singing the popular hymn in favour of Pius IX., when some carabineers of the police interposed, and an altercation ensued. The soldiers withdrew ; but, in the evening, as the young men were retiring, the sol diers fired upon them and killed M. Minelli, son of the cui 6., and another person. The exasperation of the peop!e became so great that they went to the barracks where the carabineers retired, and commenced a riot, which was only appeased by the intervention of the magistrates of the town, and the delivering up of the offending carabineers, who were con ducted to Bologna, and there committed to prison to take their trial. On the IGth and 17th there were disturbances at the University of Bologna, and in the evening of the 25th at its theatre, during the performance of Chi istiun VIII. King of Denmark, in consequence of its allusions to the oppressions imposed upon Denmark by foreign states. The officer of police ordered the curtain to be dropped, and stopped the re presentation. The public thereupon became enraged, and tore the curtain down, destroying everything within their reach. The armed force did not venture to show itself . ; but the officers of the civic guard interposed, and put an end to the riot." The POPE is still engaged in the promotion of libe ral measures. He has recently commuted the punish ments of several political offenders, and is about to issue a decree diminishing the duty on salt. Since his HOLINESS has established civic patrols, nocturnal attacks have entirely ceased. Madrid papers of the 27th have arrived. The Heraldo notices two rumours current in Madrid—one, that the Government, dreading to meet the new Cortes, intends to dissolve it immediately after its organization ; the other, that the Ministry will be dissolved, and be replaced by a Ministry of which the Marquis of MinArLoaEs will be the chief. The Herald() says it does not think either of these rumours entitled to the slightest degree of credit. The Heraldo announces the arrival in Madrid of the Count DE THOMAR (COSTA CABRAL), the new Envoy Extraordinary to the Queen of PORTUGAL. The Espanol mentions a report that CABRERA had not only entered Spain, but had actually arrived in the province of Madrid. This is very improbable. The Foment() of Barcelona states that on the 221 ult. an engagement took place near Susqueda between a detachment of police of twenty men and a band of fifty Carlists. The affair, however, was not of any importance, for no person was killed, and only one was wounded. There is no intelligence from Portugal in any of these Papers. MADRID BOLSA, NOV. 27.—The Three per Cents. closed at 34 • the Four per Cents. at 21 ; the F ive p er Cents. at 214 ; and Coupons not Capitalized, at 19k. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. On the subject of the rumoured change in the Ministry, the Revue Nouvelle, which is supposed to have access to official sources of information, says— mere party interests ? We, however, feel firmly convinced that " the cloud will disappear, and the alliance of the two countries be renewed on a more solid foundation," more solid because it will be a real alliance between the nations instead of an entente cordiale between factions. The _National begins to reckon up what France has paid for the Montpensier marriage, and thus gives the result of its inquiries as to what it has cost the country to secure a dowry for the son of the KING " For those who wish to have in figures the glorious results of this marriage—for those who wish to know what our country has lost while M. Guizot was receiving the dot, WQ beg to recal the fact that the Minister has already added two millions to the budget, which have been employed in couriers, missions, presents, and ex penses of police. This is the smallest part of the cost. What is worse is the general position of commercial affairs and of general credit. It is the rarity of cash and the high price of money. To set a value on the embarrassment, the loss sustained by private industry, is impossible ; but at all events we can compare the prices of the funds at the moment of the marriage and at the moment when the Cracow affair was announced. We have made the calculation, and we give it without com mentary. The total diminution in the value of the rates and railway shares is no less than 304 millions of francs. This is pretty clear. Let us boivt of progress ! Let us be proud of being a free people who manage our ox n a ff a i rs . Here is France agitated, Europe shaken, and all interests suffering—because a prince and a princess were to he married." The National publishes an amusing bit of scandal, on the subject of the preliminaries to the Spanish marriages. It would appear that whilst Louis Philippe's agent, his Excellency Count Bresson, was intriguing about the Montpensier match, he was commissioned by the Queen Dowager, Maria Christina, to procure for her daughter everything " most splendid, and of the most recent mode," in the " magasins" of Paris. This commission his Excellency entrusted to his lady. Madame Bresson or dered at one shop a quantity of beautiful lace of the value of 22,000 E, it being stipulated that it should be forthwith sent to Madrid, and, if not approved of, as promptly returned. About two months having elapsed without either the lace or the money being heard of, the loser by this royal bargain has determined on bringing an action against the Queen-Mother's " intendionte" of the large property she has in France. After the action was brought, an offer was made to return the lace, but the seller refused to receive it back, alleging, with much reason, that the delay which had taken place was quite sufficient to autho rise him to consider the sale as effected, and on Fri day the case was to come on for trial. "If the tradesman," says the National, " were an inhabitant of Madrid, it is possible, considering the delightful system of government under which the Spaniards have the happiness of living, that this escapade might cost him very dear. In France, unfortunately, the im prisonment of a tradesman, for demanding that which is due to him, is a matter somewhat more difficult of accomplishment. If perchance the young Duchess of MONTPENSIEE, who is, at the present moment, visiting the curiosities of Paris, should find herself, on Friday next, at the tribunal of commerce in the Bourse, she will hear a trial in which she cannot but take a great interest, She may, perhaps, be enabled to write to her Lady Mother, that there are to be found in France lawyers so audacious as to plead against her, and judges so ill-instructed as to condemn her." The Constitutionnel states that the King of the BELGIANS is expected to return to Paris by the 15th inst., and that this visit will be followed by one to London, with the intent of endeavouring to bring about a reconciliation between the two Cabinets of France and England.

Another error of the public is the belief that, since the Spanish affair, no re lations are possible between the two statesmen who direct the foreign affairs of France and England. The sad event which has occurred in Poiand has just proved the contrary. L rd Pabnerstou has not indeed adopted the suggestion made by our Government for a collective demonstration, but he has taken care to explain to it the motives of h s refusal in the most proper and cleverly guarded terms. If he has been desirous of preparing the elements of a new policy from which we may have to suffer at a later period, he has not, at least in his re ply to the French Minister, suffered to creep out the anger with which he was said to be animated. There is no statesmen amongst his adversaries who would not take upon himself the responsibility of his conduct in the affair of Cracow. On this point the French Govern ment is, if we are rightly informed, still in the prelimi nary stage. It is desirous of making a mauifestation THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER #7, 1846. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From 7hc Sun of Saturday Evening.) In the Liverpool Cotton market yesterday the sales were 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 to 4,000 were on spe culation, the market closing very firm. Shares atLiver pool were not quite so good yesterday. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool during the week have been no less than 78,020 bales. The stock is now reduced to 483,500 bales, against 929,000 at this time last year. The advance in prices this week is id. to td. per lb. The weekly statement from the Bank of England made last up, shows a decrease in the notes issued of only 4,2951. A decrease in the Rest of 2,7221. An increase in the Public Deposits of 571,1701., or t• 8,447,560/. An increase in the other Deposits of 43,333/, or to 8,018,3911. A decrease in seven days and other Bills of 892,3551. An increase in other Securities of 209,1471, or to 13,562,8221. An increase in the notes of the banking department of 215,8501., or to 8,325,745/. The quantity of bullion held by the Corporation is now returned at 15,008,1321., or an increase of 84,360/. Should, as reported, the managers of the Bank of France require aid from the directors of the Bank of England, in consequence of their stock of specie being very low indeed, not a doubt exists but, either directly or indirectly, the assistance required will be cheerfully given. The arrivals to-day are but few, and none of these of later dates than those before received. The West India mail is now due. There is little doubt that her advices will be received before our next Monday's report. The Consol Market has been flat to-day, and without any business of importance having occurred. Consols for the Account have been quoted only at 951 for the first transfer day next week at 9541, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 96. Exchequer-bills are heavy at 7s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 2061. As some doubts appear to be thrown upon the report published yesterday, that Santa Anna had seized 2,000,000 dollars belonging to British subjects, the market for Mexican Stock has rallied to-day to 224. Such a course of proceeding would of course damage considerably, for a period, all those who have a lien upon the property. The price is now a shade lower. Portu guese Four per ,Cents. have advanced from 3gi to 39.1. Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds are rasher in demand, as well as the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Brazil Five per Cents. continue at 86.

VIENNA, Nov. 24.—Ti1l the expiration of six weeks from the day of the incorporation of Cracow, with the Austrian territory, all goods will be imported free, but under certain controul, for which purpose a cordon will be drawn on the Russian and Prussian frontiers. After the expiration of these six weeks, a list will be made of all the goods which still remain, and from that time nothing be admitted free of duty. All goods which re main at the end of nine months, not having paid duty, will either have to pay duty or be sent abroad. With respect to the future commercial relations and customs of Cracow, we find the following statement in letters from Breslaw, of the 20th of November:—" According to ac counts received this day from Berlin, the deputation from this city has bad several conferences, among others, with the Minister of Finance. The result, we are sorry to say, is unfavourable to our city and to the province, for the Minister of Finance only knows that the conditions of the incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian territory are :-1. A moderate transit duty through the territory of Cracow. 2. The permission to have magazines for transit goods in Cracow itself ; and, lastly, the junction of the railway, The deputation afterwards had an audience of his Majesty the King. It appears from this that the trade with Cracow is lost to us, since goods will be liable to pay duty accord ing to the Austrian tariff. VIENNA, NOV. 25.—The Austrian Observer has the following article :—" The Augsburg Gazette of the 25th November, in an article from the Galician frontiers, re specting the decisions of the three powers relative to Cracow, adds, to counterbalance the acquisition made by Austria through the incorporation of Cracow. Prus sia is to have Hotzenplotz, a district belonging to Aus trian Silesia, and Russia a small tract to the north of the circle of Tadnopol in Galicia, we are authorised to de clare that these statements are wholly unfounded. BERLIN, Nov. 30.—The new regulations of the post office drawn up during the life of the late Postmaster- General, Von Nagler, which were to have been intro duced in the year 1847 are indefinitely deferred, because some changes which are more suitable to the present times are to be made in them, which will require some time, so that our post•office will remain for the present on the same footing. FRANKFORT, Nov. 25.—The Committee of the States of Wurtenaburg is said not to have judged it advisable to raise by the issue of paper the sum of five millions of rix dollars, which could not be raised on bonds at 4 per Cent. For this reason it is intimated by the Swabian Mercury, that the States will be convoked in an extra ordinary session, in order to discuss the proposal for an issue of Bonds bearing interest at 4} per Cent. to the above amount. BERLIN, Nov. 29.—0 n Sunday next divine service will be performed for th e fi rs t ti me i n th e new Engli s h chapel, in the Hotel du Nord, which is very elegantly fitted up. Her Majesty the Queen of England has sent a contribution of 100 ducats to defray some necessary expenses.—Hamburg papers. Dec. 1.
