Stalls, 35.; Boxes, 2s.;_ Pit, Is.. Gallery, 6d. ; Pevate Boxes, Institute ; and all the vulgar renown and praise acquired by BONAPARTE in his great battles, even in the present day, sink into the shade when compared with the illus trious labours of LEGENDRE, LAPLACE, andlguviEn. NEWTON, " the greatest and the rarest genius that ever rose for the ornament and instruction of the species," elevated the Royal Society of London to a degree of honour and consequence surpassing all similar institu tions of the Italian and French schools ; and this pre eminence, to a certain extent, it has now enjoyed for a century and a half. Any event, any misconduct on the part of the Council or the Fellows, that can impair this high character, and degrade the first institu tion of the kind in Great Britain, must excite deep regret in the minds of Englishmen, and call for condign puishment on those who from sinister motives, or jea lousy at superior merits, can descend to the most despi cable tricks for the purpose of furthering their own grovelling and vulgar schemes. Such schemes we have every reason to believe have been for some years in operation in this august body, and what renders the evil the more intolerable, the Council declare that they have no power to correct the mischief already inflicted. In another part of The Sun will be found explanatory ex tracts from the Lancet, that has devoted several interest ing articles to the subject. The question will be fully discussed at a meeting of the Royal Society to be held on the 23d inst., and in the meantime we give a brief out line of the case. Some years since Dr. ROBERT LEE made an important anatomical discovery, the paper de scribing which was presented to the Royal Society, and referred by the Council to a commit tee of medical Fellows, among whom was Mr. LAWRENCE, one of the first anatomists of the day. They reported most favourably, affirming that Dr. LEE had made good his claims by the most unquestionable proofs. The paper was approved, ordered to be pub lished in the " Philosophical Transactions," and it ap peared in due course, accompanied by beautiful plates illustrating the discovery. These facts made a great noise in every medical school in Europe, and raised the name of Dr. LEE to much celebrity abroad as well as at home. But, like the authors of other important dis coveries, he had his detractors. The same class that wished to deprive HARVEY and JENNER, of their high honours, so justly merited, formed a plan for robbing Dr. LEE of his discovery ; a surgeon was appo;nted by them to make a dissection of the part, and as far as is known by report (for the paper has not been published), he declared that no such nerves as those described by Dr. LEE existed. For this paper, which had not been read to the Society, which had not even been seen by any one connected with the Society, excepting the secretary and the two referees, and which, contrary to the regulations of the society, had not been printed in the Transactions, the royal medal was awarded. In every respect the award was in direct op .. position to the acknowledged laws of this learned body, and the committee that made the award was illegally constituted. Mr. LAWRENCE, who knew the merits of Dr. Lee's discovery, was first of all got rid off by being told that there was no further business for the physiolo gical committee, and as soon as be had left a new com mittee was formed, at which a recommendation was passed to award a medal for a paper that bad not been read, and the medal was afterwards voted by the same parties in viola:ion of a regulation approved by her Majesty, that " the royal medals be given for such papers only as have been presented to the Royal Society, and inserted in their Transactions." No attempt even at defence has been made by the secretary or any member of this committee. The aff.tir altogether is most dis graceful, and unless the guilty parties be exposed and the honour and character of the society vindicated by an open disavowal of such clandestine and illegal practices, as well as the infliction of a stigma upon the offenders, the public will make their award, and reckon the Royal Society among those defunct bodies which have perished by their own acts. One of the French journalists, in a very fair article on he late victories in India, concludes with these words : "If the rights of nations and equity have often to com plain of the means employed by England to obtain her object, it is only just to admit that no nation more ex tensively fulfils its providential mission. In one and the same year she opens to herself China, establishes herself in Borneo, and crosses the Polar Sea. The conquest of the globe, commenced in the 16th century by Spain and Portugal, is completed in the nineteenth by England ! ils it not time for France to have her turn?" The writer cannot be serious in putting the question. France has had her turn ten times, and in every instance abused it. Few nations have had such opportunities of benefit ing the human race, and if we except, perhaps, the effete Spaniards, the dominion of no people has ever been so , galling or insupportable, or attended by such fatal con sequences to the conquering power. At one time, not more than a hundred years ago, sho had the finest opening ever possessed by any country of creating a new empire in India, and anticipating Eng land in her gigantic acquisitions in that vast continent. But she could not make use of her advantages ; she built forts, landed armies, drilled soldiers, and displayed, in her usual way, all the insolence of military govern ment ; she failed to cultivate the affection of the natives ; she did nothing to improve their condition by protecting them against the tyranny and extortion of their Nabobs., and by encouraging trade and commerce with their new associates ; she would rule over them solely by force, and, thus, like all the conquests of France, her valuable set tlements in the East slipped from her on the first dange rous crisis. This brief outline of her policy will apply to nearly all the attempts made to establish colonies. lf we come to times of more modern date, the same cause s will be found at work in obstructing every beneficial par - pose, and in undermining a power that seemed impreg nable. What European ever had such means of doing good, or abused them with such wanton recklessness, as BONAPARTE ? During the Empire he was master of the entire Continent. He bad conquered Austria and Prussia, he had forced Russia into his alliance—all the other minor states he could dispose of at his will—ho ruled from Lisbon to Constantinople., and from Sicily to the Gulf of Finland ; but it was a military, despotic rule—he never acquired or attempted to acquire the affections of the people—he invariably hurt the feelings of nationality of Germans, and Spa niards, and Russians—he was detested alike by all, and when the crisis came they rose like one man against hint ; the very Poles disdaining to aid him in the depth of his distress, and his army of 800,000 men, hi the short space of three years, was reduced to 120,00 Q.. What glorious opportunities he lost during his brie f reign ! He might, and had he been possessed of a particle of patriotism, he would have formed his native land, Italy, into a separate, milted, and homogeneow; kingdom : he might have regenerated Spain, he might have improved the condition of the German people, by destroying the league of the Great Powers, formed only for their subjection. He could with one word of his mouth, or one of those la,- cone sentences by which he delighted in signalising his despotic power, have established Poland as an indepen dent state, and bound every nation to him by the. strongest ties—those of interest and gratitude ; but he had not the magnanimity nor the grasp of mind—he was cursed with the spirit which unfortunately chiefly ani : mates French generals and governors—he delighted more in the display of power than in using it for any useful purpose. In the language of one of his country , men," NAPOLEON did not fail through the Governments opposed to him, but through the people ; he had strangely abused his dictatorial power over Europe ; he crushed down nations by his treaties, and gave up the populations to kings of his own creation. In Germany, above all, hi 4 policy appears most tyrannical ; he takea away a province from one monarchy and gives it to another ; he plays with the masses as if they were chess men. His is an unparalleled despotism, without reason or excuse. Add to this the French spirit, the French cha racter, which, in his pride of a founder of a great empire, he wished to force upon all Europe." This was the mine which at last exploded and dashed him to pieces, and to this very cause is to be attributed the utter failure of the French to establish colonies. They must change their nature, if that is possible, at all events their policy, before the " time comes fur France to have her turn." It is needless to comment upon the government of Al giers, and the causes of its utter failure. The same baneful spirit there prevails. No means are adopted for conciliating the natives. The people are more cruelly used than their rulers and the soldiers ; plunder, and razzias, and murder by sufft.catien in caverns, or in any possible way, are the measures adopted by the French to reconcile the people to their dominion. Success un der such circumstances would be a miracle, yet even the noble and effective policy of England, by which she has !rude herself mistress of India, and is looked up to for protection by 100 millions of inhabitants, never seems to enter into the conception of these military rulers. why is it "that no nation more extensively fulfils its providential mission?" Because she protects the weak against the strong, makes war against plundering Ameers, and tyrannical Sirdars, and t reats the people as her own countrymen; encourages trade and commerce, gives security to property, raises moderate taxes, respects native prejudices, and never by any incident makes war upon the innocent and helpless population.

Literary and scientific institutions for the encourage ment and reward of important discoveries in any branch of human investigation, have been common in most civilised States, and have, more than victories and con quests, spread their fame throughout the world. The celebrated societies which sprung up in the Italian re publics were long remembered and admired, when the war. 3 which they waged against each other were en tirely fr,,,,,F# "v. L _ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1846. protector, and that Sir 1-JENRY HARDINOE has marched to Lahore as through a friendly territory. At a most opportune pause in► the Parliamentary ses sion, which is destined to render itself illustrious, inasmuch as from it the freedom of commerce will be dated, a Member of the Upper House comes forward with a spontaneous recantation of his former opinions upon agriculture, and confesses himself to be an earnest and conscientious disciple of the free- ;rade doctrines. We believe him to be conscientious, or reasons too numerous to individualise in detail ; and the farmers, who listened to this startling announce ment of the Earl of ESSEX, the nobleman in question, showed by their courteous and almost enthusiastic be haviour towards him personally, that they also attri buted his conversion to the views advocated by the League to a sense of honourable conviction alone, not withstanding many of them took occasion immediately after the Noble Earl had resumed his seat to express their entire dissent from his opinions. These circumstances transpired at a meeting of the Watford Farmers' Club, on Tuesday, where the Earl of ESSEX presided as chair man. Now, let it be especially remembered that his Lordship is president of this society, and that very re cently, at a similar assembly at St. Albans, he had spoken in the most emphatic and decisive manner in favour of what is commonly, and ridiculously, called pro tection to agriculture. A transformation of ideas so sudden and so diametrically opposite may under a first casual con sideration bear a very questionable and suspicious ap pearance. That is but natural. Let us, however, analyse the wherefores of the case, and we shall speedily arrive at a conclusion somewhat different. As an unexpected and really antithetical declaration, it must undoubtedly have been rather embarrassing to the nerves of the Right Honourable Peer, addressing himself, as he was through the medium of the press, to a party furious from the very hopelessness of their partizanship, and ready to place any construction upon fresh seceders from their political faith. The Noble Earl, indeed, acknowledged that he spoke " with a feeling somewhat akin to shame ;" but—mark the co • rollary !—it was not shame fur his present conduct, for that originated in the chambers of his reason, in his sense of duty and justice, in the vitality of his conscience and of his honour; no, it was not a shame arising from the nature of his present sentiments, or of the course which he now purposed to adopt—it was a feeling of shame for having taken upon himself formerly to eulogise a system, and to maintain it in operation, without having in any manner considered • its advisability, or without having reflected upon the consequences it might have upon the community at large. It was no mauraise honte, no paltry trepidation as to the constructions which possibly might be put upon his beha viour, which agitated the thoughts of his Lordship. It was a feeling of compunction at a failing of omission rather than commission, a feeling most creditable to his character, and one which exone rates him from every motive not strictly in accordance with honesty of purpose. The Earl of ESSEX then con fesses that his previous enthusiasm for the so-called protective system was nothing but an unreflective adhesion to those princ:ples with which he found himself associated by the accidents of birth and inheritance. He acted as an upholder of the country party merely as a ma!ter of course ; his ancestors had proceeded upon the same undeviating system ; he took the excellence of its effects upon himself and everybody else for granted ; and thus, with a kind of luxurious indifference, or from a generous wish to co-operate with his compeers, the Noble Earl had united his voice with theirs in the laudation ofprotection and the depreciation of the schemes for the abolition of all restraints on commerce. " With that facility," says the Earl of ESSEX, " with which most people are too apt to show in adopting opi nions that apparently favour their own interests, I fell in with the views of those with whom I was classed, and I take shame to myself that I did so without duly I inquiring into and fairly considering the subject." When, however, it became evident that the matter would very speedily be produced before the Upper House of Parlia ment, and when, moreover, he observed that he would quickly be expected to vote upon a measure involving the ruin or prosperity of millions, the Noble Lord began for the first time in his life to take the matter into his se rious consideration ; and "then," says he, "I found after due reflection and strict inquiry, that those opinions (which I had hitherto professed) were erroneous." He drew his inferences with the most elaborate caution, bearing ever in hismind that, "as an honest man, it was his duty to give an unbiassed vote ;" and those inferences were eon • elusive enough. In them he perceived that all his pre vious fears as to the consequences likely to result from the proposed commercial changes were altogether visionary; but especially he felt convinced that, with our wonderful increase of population, " a population increas ing at the rate of a thousand a day," home farming must prove utterly inadequate to satisfy the wants of the coun try. For some novel and striking calculations as to the good which must flow from the abolition of what he de signates " the broken-reed, protection," we would direct particular attention to the address delivered by Lord ESSEX, fully reported in another column. And no single shadow of doubt can he hence forth entertained as to the opinions of the Noble Earl upon the question of unrestricted com merce after he has so emphatically remarked that under the auspices of that system " agriculturists will arrive, I think, at a pitch of prosperity hitherto un known." It is not, however, so much to congratulate ourselves upon the alteration of the views of the Earl of ESSEX - sincerely as we do so that we have uttered these comments upon the Watford meet ing. Our object was principally to demonstrate a great fact by a great instance; to show that among the most conspicuous champions of the Anti-Free-Trade party there are men acting from no appreciation what ever of the justice of their cause, but simply as a thing rather fashionable upon their patrimonial estates. They inherit —that is the precise word—they inherit their attachment to protection, just as they inherit a title, or a town-house, or a seat in Dorsetshire. They have become imperceptibly habituated to the idea, as they became imperceptibly habituated to the saddle and the stirrup. It fell easily and naturally upon them, like a favourite rube de chambre, or a comfortable pair of slip pers ; reflection is irksome to them, an indolent acqui escence in the petty fribbles of their leaders is the most pleasant and unfatiguing course they can follow. such are the bulk of the supporters of the protectionists ! The Earl of ESSEX has shown them a courageous example ; let them follow it if they are men of sense and probity The advices from Alexandria are to the 29th ult. On the 22d the first wife of the Viceroy, MEHEMET ALI, had died at Cairo, after a short illness. His Highness was deeply affected at the loss. The funeral, which was attended by the Viceroy himself, took place on the 23d. The transit of the desert (except the stations from Cairo to Suez) has now completely changed hands. All the employes of the old "Egyptian Company's Transit'' are retained by the new " Transit Administration," ex cept the directors. The following has been fixed as the passenger's tariff : First Class, from Alexandria to Suez, (and X. s. d. vice versa) ... 12 10 0 Second Class 9 0 0 ••• ••• -•• '•• First Class, Suez to Cairo ... ... 210 0 ~_ Cairo to Alexandria ......9 10 0 Second Class, (and vice versa) 610 0 The tariff regulating the conveyance of merchandise and luggage will shortly be published. On the 28th, at 45 minutes after 5 r.m., two violent shocks of an earthquake, lasting upwards of half a minute, had been felt at Alexandria. There had like wise been the shock of an earthquake at Malta. By the Levant mail, in addition to the news from Constantinople, which will be found elsewhere, Malta papers to the 3d instant, and Athenian journals, to the 30th ult., have arrived. It would appear that the Greek Minister CoLETTI was approaching to his fall. The Exchequer was in a state of bankruptcy, none of the employes of the. Government having received any salary since January. The Budget has not yet been pre sented, and having been beaten in the Chamber on the question of the election of Questor, and out of the Chamber in the election of Mayor of Athens, he dared not ask for a provisional vote of credit, for fear of a refusal. _________ The following letter, from the correspondent of the iTlalta Gazette, exposes the present state of affairs in Greece : " The Ministry, strong in the protection of the Court intot and the French and Austrian Ambassadors, still main tains itself in po!ver, notwithstanding th e Mi n i sterial phalanx is dally diminishing, by itselfthrowing ranks of the Opposition. " The state of the finances is veryembarrassing to Signor Coletti. The budget is not yet presented, and he dares not ask for a provisional credit, fearful of a refusal by the Chamber. The employes are without salary since the Ist of January, and are in the greatest state of misery. " The Senate during the last few days have begun the discussion of the laws upon cattle. The Chamber of Deputies is discussing the laws upon penal punish ments, and the reports of the petition. " The election for the Mayor of Athens took place f e e ff at u e r d ts . of the Ministry, the yesterday Ministerial ; n h d s i t d a a ntdeinvfts thed e " On the occasion of the election of the Questor of the Chamber, the Ministerial candidate had onl y 34 votes, notwithstanding whilst the Opposition had 56." The Athenian journals mention a debate which had taken place in the Chamber cf Deputies on the oc casion of the commission on an Opposition :limber of the Chamber of one of those brutal outrages which have become of almost hourly occurrence since the advent to power of COLETTI. The COW rier d' Athens gives the fol lowing account of the transaction : " An odious attack was committed on Thursday last, at four in the afternoon, in the Rue de Hermes, one of the most frequented points of the capital, on the person of M. Lysander Vala6tis, Deputy for Elide. He was re turning from the Chamber when four Maniotes came up, and after ascertaining by inquiries that he was the person they sought, they attacked him with sticks, and b: at him violently on the head and shoulders. Fortu nately some passers-by came to his succour in time to save him from certain death. Two of the ruffians suc ceeded in making their escape, but the others were ar rested. The questions which they addressed to M. ViL 6 is clearly prove that they did not know him, and that they must have been set on by others. This event caused great excitement amongst the inhabitants of the capital. Both deputies and senators were in great com motion from it, and the sitting of the next day in the Chamber of Deputies was wholly dedicated to this affair. Nevertheless, it is melancholy to say, that though much was said nothing was done." M. METAXA had made this outrage the ground of an attack on the Ministry in the Chamber, and had moved " for the radical reform of the Government," which motion had been rejected by 69 to 37. The offenders had in the meantime been arrested. This was not the only outrage that had been perpetrated in Athens. From the same paper we extract the following "Another fact has taken place of a suspicious charac ter. One of our first bankers, M. Vouros, received an anonymous letter, in which he was called on, in the name of twenty persons, under a threat of death, to place in an appointed spot a sum of money. He concerted with the police, and then proceeded to the place named, as It to place the money. A few moments after a man made his appearance, and went to take the sum deposited. The police agents at the moment rushed forward and took him into custody." According to advices from Constantinople, dated the 27th ult., the independent Circassian tribe of the Ab bazes had declared for ScHAmvL, having previously re jected overturei %MA had been made to them from Russia. On the 26th, a steamer and several other vessels had been launched from the Arsenal in the presence of the SULTAN, the SULTANA MOTHER, and the ladies of the harem. Accounts had been received at Constantinople from Erzeroum, announcing that the difficulties which had hitherto prevented the settlement of the differences be tween Persia and the Sublime Porte had been removed. The Malta Times publishes a letter from Constan tinople, dated the 25th ult., which states that KOSREW PACHA is doing all in his power to thwart the reform principles of REDSCBID PACHA, and that he is availing himself of his return to office to increase his fortune b) corrupt means. The SULTAN has formally consented to the marriage of REDSCHID PACHA'S eldest son with the sister of MnuEmET ALI PACHA, the Minister of Marine, and the brother-in-law of the SULTAN. The news from Syria is satisfactory. The intelligence from Gallicia is to the 31st ult. The following under that date is from the Universal German Gazette, of the Bth instant : " The peasants still continue to pillage. They are mostly commanded by disbanded soldiers. In the circle of Tarnow, Izela, and not Sala, commands 12,000 pea sants well armed. lle is persuaded that he is chosen by Providence to be the executor of the Imperial will. Ile has carried his audacity so far as to send a deputation to wait on the Emperor at Vienna. In the circle of Bothnia a peasant named lihrygo commands the insur gents, another named Janocha in Sandecz, and in Przemyse and Sambo a man named Boschola. The Em peror's letter, thanking the peasants, was received with contempt by the armed hordes When one of the Im perial Commissioners represented to the peasants, who now consider themselves to be the owners of the property of the late nobility, to consider that there exist widows and orphans to whom the property belongs, they replied, ' We have flayed the great dogs, and we shall soon get rid of the little.' Each of the Imperial Commissioners is accompanied by six soldiers, notwithstanding which protection two of them have been already murdered by the peasants. In the circle of Tarnow, one of the most populous districts in Gallicia, there remain but nineteen of all the proprietors and their families." The following resolutions, adopted by the representa tives of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, assembled at Berlin, on the subject of the republic of Cracow, appear in the Cologne Gazette : "1. The republic of Cracow will continue to be a free state. "2. This state, however, shall not possess the privi lege of reorganising her militia, or of maintaining troops. "3. The three protecting Powers shall alternatively keep a garrison in the city of Cracow. "4. The ancient royal castle shall be transformed into a citadel, to be defended by a park of artillery." By order of the President of the province of Silesia, all Poles coming from France or Belgium, Switz rrland or Italy, who have not their passports vise'd by the Prussian Minister, and proceeding to Breslau, are to be sent back to the place where their passport was last vise'd, and under no pretext he allowed to continue their journey. Letters from Vienna announce the intention of the Austrian Government to establish works for the manu facture of salt from sea -water at Venice. It is stated that the Austrian Minister of Finance will be able to provide for the exigencies of the state from the ordinary revenue, and that there will therefore be no loan, as had been anticipated. It appears that attempts have been made to excite disturbances in Brussels. We extract the following from the Brussels Herald of Saturday : " In the course of Friday afternoon numerous copies of an inflammatory circular were distributed in this city, chiefly amongst the working classes, and in the streets where they reside. The plan adopted was as follows: — At various points of Brussels two or three individuals dressed in blouses, under which they concealed large packets of the obnoxious circular, awaited for convenient opportunities to glide some copies into the hands of the passers-by, whilst other emissaries were on the look-out, to give warning whenever any of the police authorities appeared. Copies were also dropped in the public thoroughfares, thrown into shops, or thrust under doors. Notwithstanding all the precautions which had been taken to conceal the authors of the seditious circular, the police soon got on their scent, and succeeded in dis covering and arresting the printer. This first step led to further arrests, and we have grounds for stating that the authors of the circular are either already in custody or that they are well known." The criminal tendency of this violent circular will be seen by the following extracts:— " The future inspires cruel alarm. You rich people of the land, you aristocrats, are much to be pitied, notwith standing your pleasures and the material treasures which ! you possess. You r hard-h eartedness , your selfis hness, jour a i " That terrible proph e cy will be realised , if a s p eed y and effi cac i ou s remedy be not adopted for the distress of rapacity, your inhuman conduct, will lead to rob bery, larism, and assassination those who are not beggars by profession, but of those who know too well their dignity and their strength to degrade themselves to such an extremity ; fur the pro verb says, Hungry belly has no ears.' " Military brothers ! your relatives, your brothers, your friends are about to expose their state of distress to the Government. We do not wish to war against you; all we ask for is to have work and bread, in order that we may not all perish by hunger. Do not be against us, for you, soldiers, are also children of the people, and if, by order of pitiless or ignorant chiefs, you fire on the people your balls and bullets will strike your own fathers and mothers, your own brothers and friends. Do not fire on the people, but say to yourselves, We soldiers are also of the people ; we will not be our own executioners.' "In other parts of the circular it is stated that the only way to prove to those who have sworn to attend to the interests of the Belgian people that it is high time to listen to the latter, is for all true Belgians to proceed en masse, next Tuesday, the 14th instant, to the King and the representatives of the nation, in order to lay before them an account of the prevailing misery. All true Belgians' are consequently invited to assemble on next Monday morning in the great market-place of Ghent, whence they are to proceed to Brussels, in order that they may meet on the Grande Place of that city at noon on the following day. It is stated in the circular that 100,000 copies of it have been struck off. This is probably an exaggeration; but it is quite cer tain that the document in question has been very ex tensively read. The authorities are on the alert, and our readers may rely upon the vigilance and zeal of the Government, and the love of order of the overpowering majority of the inhabitants of Brussels and Ghent, for the prevention of any serious disturbance." On Saturday evening six prisoners implicated in the above attempt were conveyed by special train from Brus sels to Ghent. Madrid journals of the sth instant have arrived. The Gaceta contains the royal decrees accepting the resigna tions of NARVAEZ, ORLANDO, and BURGOS, and ap pointing IsTottrrz as President of the Council, and MINER° as Minister of Marine, charged provisionally with the War Department. The decree accepting the resignations is countersigned by EGANA, who retains his office as Minister of Justice; that making the ap pointments is countersigned by the new President of the Council, ISTURITZ. The Under -Secretary of State fur the Finances is charged provisionally with the adminis tration of that department. It appears that Colonel ORTEGA made an unsuccessful attempt, during the night of the 4th, to get up a pro nunciamento in favour of NARVAEZ. ORTEGA, MAZZERADO LOIGORRI, the Under Secretary-at-War , and several other partizans of NARVAEZ have been dis missed, and General PEZUELA has been appointed Cap tain-General of Madrid. It is believed that the retire ment of NARVAEZ is real on the present occasion, that there exists an irreconeilegble difference between him awl CHRISTINA and that he will be requested to leave Madrid with as little delay as possible. El Imparcial has been condemned to a fine of 500 reals, fer not having, when it began, fulfilled all the for malities required by the last decrees as to the liberty of the press. The Duke and Duchess of SAxE COBURG GOTHA embarked on the sth at Barcelona for Valencia en route to Lisbon, via Malaga, Gibraltar, and Cadiz.

Exchanges—London, 37k; Paris, 165. We have received Paris papers of Friday and Satur day, which are principally occupied with discussions on the recent changes in Spain. The Constitotionnel of Saturday states that the fall of both the NARVAEZ Cabinets arose from the Stock-Ex change speculations of the Minister:— " It must be confessed, painful as is that confession. that the dissolution of the Mon-Narvaez Cabinet was oc• casioned not by a political, but a pecuniary quarrel. The most influential person in the Cabinet had been formerly connected with a banker of Madrid in some speculations, but had lately quarrelled with him. The two associates became antagonists, speculated against each other on the Exchange. The banker proved victorious, and the Minister of Finance having refused to join in the ha zardous speculations of his ducal colleague, the Cabinet was therefore dissolved." " The second break-up was also on a Stock- Exchange question, not of so serious a nature indeed as the other, for as the point in dispute was merely whether fifteen days or a month should be allowed as the delay for the suppression of time bargains, the question could only have been a pretext on one side, and a foolish piece of obstinacy on the other, it indeed that short difference of time was not of importance to the pecuniary interests of General Narvaez. Be this as it may, however, the re sistance of one member of the Cabinet to the wishes of the President of the Council led to the overthrow of the entire Cabinet." With regard to the chances of the new Ministry, the same journal observes:— " How long will the new Ministry of M. Isturitz hold office ? Not long, unless the new Minister carries out all the projects of his predecessor. " Moreover the marriage presents the same difficulties as ever. The Conte de Trapani can no longer be relied on, although Queen Christina persists in her refusal of any other son-in-law. It may be seen by the manner in which a son of the Infant Don Paulo has been treated, bow far the members of this Prince's family are from the throne. Many of the Spanish, and perhaps even the French Cabinet, would possibly consent to receive M. le Comte de Montemolin, who who has for some time past been much more courteously treated by the Government, and is almost freed from surveillance of any kind. " The Liberal Prince is arrested—the Carlist Prince is favoured—this is a counter revolution." On this subject the Presse, which is looked upon as the organ of CHRISTINA, has the following : "M. Isturitz, it is said, has declared that he will not committ the fault which produced the downfal of M. Miraflores. This fault was to have adopted only half measures, to have deeply discontented the friends of General Narvaez, and the Absolutists of M. de Viluma, without completely satisfying the great constitutional and sincerely liberal fraction of the Conservative party. M. Isturitz has not confined himself to these generalities. At a meeting, which took place in his house, he declared that the only means of protect. ing the public liberties and the Constitution from the coup de-main of General IN arvaez, and from the in trigues of the Absolutists, who flatter him for the pur pose of making use of him, was to change the Captains- General of Catalonia, Andalusia, Aragon, and New Castile, to renew in great part the posts about the poli tical chiefs ; and, lastly, to compose a Ministry with men whose principles offer equal guarantees to the partisans of the revolution and the friends of order and Conserva tive ideas." Lord and Lady PALMERSTON, who are in Paris, dined with Marshal SEBASTIAN' on Monday. They were to dine at the Tuileries on Sunday, and had ,likewise ac cepted invitations from M. GUIZOT, the Princess LIEVEN, and Baron ROTHSCHILD. The Courier Francais of Friday says— " It is confidently stated that Governor Bruat has ad dressed to the Minister of Marine a letter, in the form of a secret report, in which he imputes to the English the gravest acts. He declares that it is impossible to do anything at Otaheite as long as the Protestant mis sionaries inhabit the country. He has not the means of thwarting intrigues, which assume every kind of shape and re-appear at every turn ! Queen Pomare has taken up her abode in one of the windward island, and holds there a sort of Court. Two missionaries, Mr. John Knateh, and Mr. Adam Rowe, and a native chief, entirely de voted to the English, form her Privy Council. A print ing-office is established in a cottage neighbouring to her residence, and there are fabricated without ceasing pro clamations destined to stir up (the populations against France. All these acts are so flagrant that M. Bruat declares that he cannot remain with honour at his post if measures be not taken to put down so great a scandal. It is even said that the brave governor, now too well edi fied relative to the energy and patriotism of M. Guizot, solicits his conga and permission to return to France." The same journal, of Saturday, mentions as a rumour that Don ENRIQUE had written from Bayonne to the Prince de JOINVILLE, asking permission to serve on board his ship as a volunteer. It was reported in Paris on Saturday that a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Bayonne, announcing the arrival of General NARVAEZ in that city. Algiers journals to the sth had been received in Paris. They contain no news of importance in addition to the last accounts:Ante EL-KADERiS represented as a fugitive abandoned by his former supporters, who aro hastening, say these journals, to make their submission. The Prince DE JOINVILLE has left Paris for Toulon, where he will probably meet the Duke CONSTANTINE. The Russian fleet, under the order of the young Admiral, is composed of five ships—The Ingermanland, of 74 guns, on board which the Archduke has hoisted his flag; two corvettes, of 37 and 24 guns; andtwo steam frigates. The Courrier de Marseille, of Wednesday, says:— " The news which we gave a few days ago from Naples, is confirmed. The Grand Duke Constantine will be here in a few days. The Government has given orders to the Admiralty for his being received with all the honours due to his rank. He will proceed from Toulon to Brest, and visit successively the principal maritime towns of France." The Moniteur publishes the law allocating an extra ordinary credit of 1,000,000 of francs for secret service purposes. All the French papers have long articles on the sub ject of the debats in the House of Commons on the Irish Coercion Bill. The doctrines of free trade seem to be exciting con siderable attention in France. The Courier Francais and the Constitutionnel have each long articles on the subject. The Courier Francais advocates the principles of free trade, while the Constituticnnel, without abso lutely taking the other side of the question, seeks to dis courage those who entertain enlarged and liberal views on the subject. The two companies formed under the auspices of Baron de ROTHSCHILD and M. CHARLES LAFITTE to bid for the Western Railroad had withdrawn the pro posals which they had deposited in the hands of the Minister of Public Works. The Journal des Chemins de Fer mentions that the Amiens and Boulogne Railroad Company had signed a contract with Messrs. MACKENZIE and BRASSEY for the construction of the line, and that the works would commence forthwith, and be carried on with the utmost activity.

Died, after a short illness, at his residence in Albe marle-street, on Friday the 10th instant, deeply lamented by a numerous c ircle of friends, Louis Eustache Ude, in the 78th of his age. Solemn mass will be performed for the re poseyear of his soul at the French Chapel in Little George-street, Portman-square, on Thursday the 16th instant, and on the same day his remains will be interred in the Kensal-green Cemetery. Miss Burdett Coutts, with her charasteristic gene rosity, has given 501. to the testimonial, raising for the widow and family of the late respected superintendent Pearse, of the Metropolitan Police, whose exertions in saving the Crown jewels at the fire at the Tower of London deserved the highest commendations, as also his efforts in subduing the Chartists of Bethnal-green. Notwithstanding 15 years ser vice, there is no pension for the widow of persons in his station. Eighty or a hundred thousand ball-cartridges are often tired in the course of a military action without killing or wounding more than 500 men. HEAVY FAILURE.—The extensive house of Messrs. Carne and Telo was announced on Wednesday as having stopped payment, with liabilities exceeding 100,0001. in amount : some statements reach a much higher sum. The Borough Bank, it is said, is a very large creditor on this, as on other recently unfortunate concerns; a circumstance that has reduced the value of shares in that establishment from a handsome premium to a positive discount.—Liverpool Mercury. _ _ The'Great Western sailed from Liverpool for New York on Saturday last. She takes out about 130 passengers and a good cargo. Lord and Lady Palmerston dined yesterday with Marobal Sebmtio,ni.—Galignani's Messenger, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 6 010 bales, half of which were on speculation, and half for exportation. Shares were steady generally. The communication received from the office of Com mittee of Privy Council for Trade, by the Secretary or Registrar of Joint Stock Company's Registry Office, stating rather precisely the intentions of Government relative to abortive, or ill-conducted new railway pro jects, has been the subject of almost general conversa tion in the City, among moneyed and commercial men, This important document will be found in grips then column of The Sun, and it is worth the most attractive perusal. There may be many useful improve ments made in the Bill to be brought in by Government in the course of its progress through Parliament. A proposal, urged in some quarter is, that scripholders should be c.,nsidered entitled to vote for the dissolution of any project to which they have been allotters of shares, from the day Sir Robert Peel gave the outline of the intentions of the Ministry, meets very general: sup port, as it is already known that many parties, who have paid their money, or are under a responsibility to do so, have been induced to sell their interest at a greatly reduced value, the buyer of course in such instances coming in for all the profit that may arise from the ope ration. Very many other points, well worth a remark or two on another occasion, to make the Bill as perfect and stringent as possible, have been communicated. The great point to be gained is, that the intentions of Govern ment should not be defeated by any underhand work on the part of solicitors, of scheming managers or committee men, who of course, if they can relieve themselves from responsibility, will drain the funds in hand, or calculated upon, to the uttermost, before they consent to the aban donment of projects, the continuation of which so well filled their pockets. It has be en suggested that a public meeting should be convened, at which delegates from all scripholders or allottees might attend, to take means of compelling the winding up of doubtful, bad, or other schemes, the parties connected with which a e anxious to have such affairs brought to a speedy t e rmination. Many difficulties, now in the way of the b eneficial working of the Bill to be introduced by Go vernment, might at such a conclave of parties most fully acquainted with the subject, be removed, and the measure of the Ministers rendered more efficient and complete. There are not any late arrivals from the British colo nies to-day. By an official return of the circulation of the Irish Banks for the month, ending on the 28th of March, it appears that the amount of bullion in the sister isle at that date, amounted to about 2,500,0001. It has been previously explained that when the late Act of Par liament came into operation, compelling all banks in Ireland to have a certain amount of specie, according to their issues, the stock of the precious metals in the coffers of the Bank of England were lessened very considerably, but the effect of the new law has been to give more stability, if possible, ti,an before existed to the Irish banking business, a continuance of which must of course have tke most beneficial effects in increas lug confidence on the other side of the Channel. All the banks chartered, as well as private or joint-stock, seem by the present return to be doing a safe and a lucrative business. The Consol Market has been scarcely so firm this morning as it was on Saturday, but the re-action in value has been slight. Consols for Money, and for the first transfer-day, to-morrow, have been quoted at 968 4, for the Account at 961 and ; Exchequer-bills at 245. to 275. premium; the Reduced Three per Cents. at 95/ while the New Three and a Quarter per Cents. have re ceded from 971 to 964. India Stock has fallen from 2611 to 261; and Bank of England Stock from 2064 to 206. There has been a slight reaction in Mexican Stock this morning, the official notification of the amount re ceived by the Avon, on account of the dividends being smaller than was anticipated. This is, however, easily accounted for, as the Conductor had not arr i ve d a t V era Cruz when the mail left, supposed to have over 2,000,000 dollars, on merchants and other interests, with it. Mexican Bonds opened at 328, and are now at 311. In the Portuguese. Bonds there is an advance to 574 ; in the Dutch Four per Cents., to 921 ; in the Two- and-a- Half per Cents., to 59/ ; but Spanish Consols have gone back to 25. Old Brazilian Five per Cents. continue at about 801. In the Railway Share Market, the proposed measures of Government, in order to enable shareholders and scripholders to compel the winding up of new projects, continues the theme of anxious discussion. In the mean time, there is not much doing in Railway Shares, bu prices are more firm. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.)

Later in the evening, as Mr. Hawkins was expressing his regret at what had happened to some of the party, Mr. Ashton said his conduct had been very ungentlemanly ; on which Mr. Hawkins struck him. Mr. Letang, for the defen dant, stated that Mr. Ashton would not accept an apology without exacting more from his client than, as an officer, he could admit. The Chief Justice, in his charge, said that plaintiff had done right to come before a jury rather than have recourse to duelling. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 100/. CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.—" The bottle containing this paper was thrown from her Britannic Majesty's ship Erebus, eight P. 3t. , 4th April, 1842, in lat. 53 59 south, and long. 60 47 west. Whoever may find it, is requested to for ward the paper to the Secretary of the Admiralty, London, with the date, together with a notice of the latitude and longitude where found.

The figures and words marked by us in italics were in darker ink than the document itself, and must have been filled in by the captain (whose signature is appended), a few minutes before com mitting it to the ocean. The writing appears as fresh as if just written.—ED. Port Philip Herald.] IRON MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS.—DITDLEY, SATURDAY.—The last of the usual quarterly meetings of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire and Shropshire was held this evening. The attendance at the hotel was numerous. The prices adopted at Birmingham were "bolstered up ;" but, as at the previous meetings of the week, there was an inclination for " adrop." " It is positively affirmed," says the Courrier Francais, " that when the Queen of England visits Paris, Prince Albert will be treated with royal honours. It is known that during the excursion which the Sovereign of Great Britain took to Germany, the Prince received only the honours paid to the members, not the heads of royal families, and that Queen Victoria was mach anuoyed at it."

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE -MONDAY; The arrivals of English Wheat, up to last week, coastwis_ A et as well as by land carriage and sample, wa s on a very limit ed scale, though of somewhat improved quality. Of Barley , Malt, Oats, and all other articles of home produce, the re' ceipts were small. From Scotland, no grain of any descrir tion came to hand; while from Ireland, only about 11,0 00 quarters of Oats came fresh to hand. The importsof Foreie, Wheat and Beans were l arge — upwards of 26,000 quarters o f the former, and 10,000 quarters of the latter having been landed in bond. Fresh up t o -d ay, the receipts t)f Wheat were again small; however, the stands exhibited comparatively limited number of samples.
