FAMINE RELIEF FUND for the DIS TRESSED DISTRICTS of IRELAND and SCOTLAND. TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, CLERGY, AND COMMONALTY OF THESE REALMS. The Famine with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit the Sister Kingdom, is now beginning to be felt there in all its dread reality. The Government, with an tvtivity and energy that do honour to Its humanity, is anxiously applying itself to the task of alleviating, as far as may be, this most fearful of visitations, by providing for the people the means of employmerA ; but such measures, of necessity, demand time, meanwhile the people perish. In this frightful emergency, the Committee of the National Club, appeal earnestly to all, of whatever station, age, creed, party, or per suasion, to come forward and rescue their fellow-creatures from the most horrible of deaths. By a well-considered and matured system of organisation, which they propose to adopt, a check will, on the one hand, be provided against imposition on the part of the applicants for relief; while, on the other, security will be ensured for the due administration of the public bounty ; the want of which precaution was on a former and somewhat similar occasion so deservedly complained of. The Committee, in conclusion, pledge themselves to a rigid scrutiny into all claims upon the fund—to its immediate, judicious, and impartial distribution, without regard to religious or political distinctions—and to the fullest publicity as to the expenditure of every shilling. Since the foregoing was drawn up, the accounts received from the Highlands of Scotland are such as to have determined the Committee to include them In the contemplated measures of relief.

The inviolability of the decrees of the Imperial Par liament is unquestionably a part of the political creed of Englishmen. But, like all other arbitrary doc - trines, that inviolability refers only to an ordinary condition of society. To say that, simply in homage to the authority of the two august Houses of Legis lation at Westminster, an Administration must behold the population of these islands drooping and abso lutely dying from the effects of starvation, without making a vigorous effort to supply the deficiencies of provisions and without exercising the prerogatives of office in every conceivable manner for the salvation of the populace, would be to speak from the dictates of an extravagant insanity or of a despicable idiotcy. It would transform the benignant institutions of our country into a political MoLocn—a demon for whose glorification we should be immolating ourselves as victims, and offering up our children as holocausts. It would be the voluntary degeneration of patriotic obedience into the very fanaticism of slavery. Mon strous, however, as such a notion may appear, ther e are individuals who would absolutely carry it into operation. There are men so ignorant, so degraded, or so perverse, that they would insist upon the en forcement of this principle even while humanity might be shrieking to them to desist. They would see the country decimated by famine rather than the edicts of the last Parliamentary session should be violated by an extraordinary decree of the Cabinet Council ! They would behold the Irish peasantry roving with haggard eyes and despairing looks among their desolate streets and barren potato-grounds ; they heywould see our E ng li s h art i zans p i nched by in tolerable privations, and the lives of the community at large placed in the most imminent jeopardy, rather than the duties recently imposed upon foreign grain should be altered in one particular, rather than the resolutions p as - ed by the majority of ou r legis. tutors should be di sregarded, rather than the of Great Britain sh ou ld b e opened for the freepoirtsm partation of Prussian or American provision. And in Heaven's name, would the impulses of common sense be thus monstrously thwarted ? Simply because of a reverence for the majesty of the law ! Why, Sir ROBERT PEEL violated the law, so to speak, last winter; and were not the hearts of his fellow countrymen grateful to him for so doing ? Was he not regarded throughout Ireland as a public benefac for ? Was he net beloved by the starving multi tude as ha had never been beloved daring any an terior portion of his political career? The majesty of the law, forsooth ! When a terrible visitation turns a wholesome and nutritious article of food into a species of vegetable poison, and threatens an entire country with famine, the supreme governors of that state are invested by Nature with an autho rity immeasurably above the law. You might as reasonably allow a city to be con sumed by fire without attempting to extinguish the flames by tearing open the water-pipes, cn the plea that no plugs had been supplied by the commis sioners. Blue books will not fill empty larders with joints and cabbages ; political aphorisms and moral saws are but sorry substitutes for dinners and suppers; famine is to be prevented not by precepts inculcating the blessings of subordination, but by "bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the Evening." What we have already insisted upon as absolutely necessary at this period, when the peasantry are perishing in Ireland from want and scarcity, and when scarcity is beginning to evidence itself in England, is being acquiesced in in all directions. We are rejoiced at thi4, because, in the prevalence and continuity of the sup plication, we recognise its ultimate concession by the Government. Let the Ministry but once perceive that the country is throughout soli citous for the opening of the ports, and the ports will be immediately opened. And when they are open the shutting of them again will be a problem rather difficult of solution. The dilatoriness of the concession will then be compensated by the vastness of the boon, though the unfortunate creatures who have already perished in the sister country, through the scarcity inflicted upon the population by existing restrictions, cannot be thereby summoned from their miserable coffins for the re-enjoyment of existence. At a meeting of the Town-council of Manchester, presided over yesterday by the Mayor, we are grati fied to observe that the necessities of the people were estimated at their true importance. So impressed were the members of that municipal council with the exigency of the time, that they resolved, by a large majority, upon petitioning the Right Hon. the First Lord of the Treasury " to call the immediate atten tion of her MAJESTY'S Government to the present and prospective condition of this country, in consequence of the high and rapidly advancing price of corn, and all other kinds of the people's food, in order to induce them forthwith to open the ports of the United King dom to the unrestricted admission of every kind of provision, from whatever part of the world it may come; or to call Parliament together, with the view of immediately abolishing all duties on the importa tion of food." That most important entreaty, coming from so im portant a body, and enforced by so many and such striking circumstances, will, we are assured, com mand the most serious consideration of Lord Joins RUSSELL. As Prime Minister of this great countr3 and therefore as the chief guardian of the lives of its inhabitants, the Noble Lord cannot but entertain an almost painful sense of the heavy responsibilities con nected with his elevated and illustrious office. Nor can the Noble Lord but acknowledge that the pre sent extraordinary calamities demand most impeera• tively remedies equally extraordinary. When men are dying literally from starvation in Skib bereen and other places ; when waggons, convey ing corn and meal, require the protection of the soldiery, and when, notwithstanding those precautions, the sacks are ripped open and their contents ex tracted ; when, even in this country, bread is rising., meat is rising, butter is rising, almost every individual article of sustenance is rising, and that almost daily, so as to render famine prices inevitable—unless some re markable remedy be speedily applied, it would be blind ness, or hypocrisy, or actual inhumanity to deny the want experienced by the community for some prompt and valorous effort on the part of the Legislature. The annihilation of monopoly appears to be precipi tated by the decrees of Nature. Happiness, content ment, and prosperity appear to shun these islands until that cheering announcement shall be heard— " The Ports are Opened !" Anything coming from Mr. O'CoNxELL must be perused with peculiar interest at the present crisis. The deliberate opinions of any man possessing such extraordinary influence with the great majority of his countrymen, who has during so long a period been the leader of the people, and exercised a power greater perhaps than that ever enjoyed by a public man, unconnected with Government, and holding no official situation, for an equal length of time, must command the greatest respect ; but, when we consider the great sagacity, the political wisdom, he has displayed, and the perfect knowledge he possesses both of the characters of the people and their exigencies and wants, that respect and authority is immeasurably increased, more especially when the subject is uncon nected with any of the political questions on which he had formally declared himself before the distress had attained to such a fearful extremity as unhappily is the case at present, and when none of his darling projects, particularly that which he declares to be the great end and object of his existence—the repeal of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland—can in any manner be influenced thereby. If Mr. O ' CONNELL was an unprincipled or un conscientious person, if he was disposed to make use of every means, unscrupulonsly, to promote that end, could he have reconciled it to himself to turn the sufferings of the people into a weapon against the continuance of the union, to inflame their passions, and to excite their minds to the utmost pitch, it is impossible not to perceive what an instrument has been and is now within his power, and how formidably it might be directed against the continuance of the connexion between the countries ; but he has already afforded the strongest evidence of the sincerity and the purity of his motives; he has incontestably established the truth of his former statements, that he Kill act by peaceful and constitutional means only, that he will trust solely to argument, and that he would consider the restoration of the Irish Parliament too dearly purchased if one drop of human blood werf shed, one single life lost, in its attainment. To moral force, and moral force only, would he lend himself. and promptly and vigorously has he opposed and un hesitatingly put down every attempt, however in sidiously it might have been put forward, to justify t recourse being had to physical force under any cir cumstances, or to speculate upon a contingency or time when such an appeal might become not merely expedient, but necessary. His intelligent mind saw the pernicious tendency of such doctrines, the fearful effect they might have upon the popular mind it debated in the assembly he had himself called into existence ; and he risked to a certain extent his well-- earned popularity, and severed the political ties by which many of his followers were bound to him, by his conscientious opposition to their favourite doc trine and his rigid adherence to the fundamental rule of the Association. Influenced by these considerations, we gave credit to Mr. O'CoNNELL for the perfect good faith in which he put forward his proposition for the as• sembling of a National Committee of Landed Pro prietors in Dublin; we felt and expressed our full conviction, that if the project was carried into execution, no attempt would be made at the intro duction of any question of an irritating nature likely to produce party dissensions or religious diflerences ; indeed any effort of the kind would most assuredly take away from the efficiency of the committee, and destroy its value. We examined the proposal with unprejudiced minds, and we satisfied ourselves of the vast benefit that would be conferred upon the nation at large by the formation of such a body. It would act as a central committee, to receive and maturely consider the suggestions offered by individuals or smaller bodies, and if their suggestions should be thought worthy of adoption, the sanction of such an assembly would give them great additional weight ; they would co-operate with the several relief corn• mittees and procure immediate attention to their re presentations. Everything relating to the procuring an adequate supply of food for the people, and that in the cheapest and most beneficial manner for the owners of the soil, would coma within the sphere of their duties, and a more cordial and kindly feeling would be produced between persons of all classes, creeds, and parties, who would assemble together on a neutral ground for the benefit of their common country; prejudices would be softened down, and in a short time every one would think better of his brother Irishman, and regard his opinions and actions with a less jaundiced eye. In the usual weekly letter which Mr. O ' CONNELL has put forward, he gives ad.:itional evidence of his good faith. He expresses his opinion that the wise and bold determination of the Lord-Lieutenant, the vigorous decision at , Ahich he has arrived, has com pletely done away with the necessity for an immediate meeting of Parliament; indeed it would no longer be expedient or desirable, as it might tend to em barrass and retard the carrying out of the plans of his Excellency, and that at a time when immediate action is of the utmost importance. Mr. O ' CONNELL mentions an additional calamity that has recently been occasioned by the terrific storms that have prevailed for the last fortnight or three weeks, and which have prevented the arrival of vessels laden with food for the people, and it is feared in too many instances have caused their total loss. This has added to the difficulties of the Go vernment and the nation, and of course extraordinary and increased exertions will be thereby rendered necessary, in which the National Committee might ai 1 with the most beneficial results. He has also usgested the formation of sub-committees for each of the provinces, who should report from time to time to the parent body in the Irish metropolis, and thus measures fur the relief of every locality in each province would be going on simultaneously and without interruption. The proposition appears to be an admirable one; and the sub-committees of which he speaks would naturally grow out of the general committee; indeed, if formed in the first instance, they would furnish the materials for the central commit tee, which might be composed of representatives from each of the provincial committees. The most valuable part, however, of his letter is that in which he expresses his decided opinion that the Repeal As sociation should have nothing to do with its forma tion. The National Committee should have no poli tical or sectarian character; their entire exertions should be directed to the alleviation of present cala mities, and the prevention, if possible, of their recur rence in future years. The following extract from his letter expresses clearly the nature of the proposed committee and the manner of its formation, and cannot, we think, be thrown away upon the Irish landlords. lie says— " For the present I dismiss any further consideration of the National Committee. If it take place, it must originate, and be modelled in its constitution, by other hands than mine—in short, it must emanate from the sense of imminent danger, and anxiety for preventing the fatal consequences arising in the minds of great leading proprietors of land in Ireland. If they do not feel the necessity for such a committee my voice ought to be heard in vain. To effectuate any good, the body should have, from the nature and number of its members, powerful influence in Eng land as well as in Ireland. In short, it should em brace within its members the leading nobility and gentry of all parties; and unless a very influential number of men of all parties concur in forming such a body, it ought not to exist." Comment is quite unnecessary on this paragraph. We sincerely hope it may be maturely considered, as it deserves to be, and that it will remove the doubt and suspicion that hitherto has alone prevented the formation of such a committee. A letter from Athens, of the 4th, states that it wai rumoured in that city that the Pacha of CANDIA had, in accordance with the expressed wishes of the Greek and Turkish inhabitants, declared that island inde pendent. The Arch'i 21ago is still infested by pirates. It was rumoured that the Duke of DEVONSHIRE wa , expected at Athens on a special diplomatic mission, the object of which is to negotiate for the cession of the island of Egina to Great Britain, as a compensa tion for the English guarantee of the Greek loar. The rumour however, did not obtain much credit. The Universal German Gazette of the 16th sap that there is reason to believe that Austria and Prussia will protest against the possible consequences of the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIEIt with the Infanta LUISA. On this subject the Allgemeine Preussiche Zeitung (the official organ of the Prussian Government) contains the following communica- tion : "It is now manifest that Lord Palmerston, when h( saw that it was too late to prevent the marriage of the Infanta, took his stand upon the renunciations which he hopes to obtein from the French Prince and his bride of their own claim and those of their children's children to the throne. We must wait to see what the result of this political blow will be, for it is certainly open to no littli hesitation and objection. In the first place, an act of re nunciation is required from the Duke de Montpensier of rights to which he does not even lay claim, which hi neither possesses nor ever can possess; and, secondly, in so far as the Infanta and her children are concerned, a re nunciation of a right to the throne on her part would In nothing less than an alteration of the lineal succession to the Spanish crown, as it has been confirmed in that king dom by the Cortes, and by the events of recent date. I: Queen Isabella 11. dies without issue, it is clear that the Infanta Donna Luisa Fernando, and her posterity, are the sole representatives of that branch of the royal house o Spain which the Act of Ferdinand VII., the acquiescence of the nation, and the co-operation of England and France, have placed on the throne ; if, however, in the teeth o , those facts, Viscount Palmerston insists upon excluding that Princess and her posterity from the succession to the throne, it is no less clear that England throws the weight of her influence into the scale in favour of the Carlist party. The Count de Montemolin then becomes in the eyes of England the heir presumptive to thi throne of Spain. " Such plans as these hardly belong to the department of a Foreign Secretary of State ; no such renunciation .if the throne is worth the paper on which it is written ; for if the Spanish nation thinks proper to call the Infanta, and her children to the throne instead of the posterity of Don Carlos (Charles V.), England is, at all events, bound by the whole course of her Spanish policy to acquiesce in the choice of the country. It is more than probable, however, that this proposed renunciation will be treated with ridicule, both in Madrid and in Paris, and, if ever the contingency against which Lord Palmerston seeks to take precau tioaary measures should unhappily occur, and Queer• Isabella should die childless, the utmost that can be said is this, that England, resting upon the fundamental principles of the tr.aty of Utrecht, may have in prepara tion a casus belli. Such views, however, lie too remote to be built upon with certainty. A far nearer and greater orobability is, that the French faction in Spain will soon -xcite the hatred of the people of Spain against them, and that a general movement will take place for the pur pose of expelling all the members of the Bourbon family .vho have taken part in this intrigue. " No surprise will, therefore, be felt if the views of the -on of Charles V. should assume a wholly different haps ; and the Court of the Tuileries has rendered great service to Queen Isabella by identifying her taus( .vith French domination i❑ the Peninsula. " Sooner or later this French dominion will either have to be supported by a French army, or those who set it up will be buried beneath its ruins ! Here is at. dternativer The Diarie of Lisbon, of the 9th and 10th, has arrived. It contains a great number of appointments of governors of military posts, in place of those appointed by the Palmella Ministry. A telegraphic lispatch of the 9th announces the arrival at Santarem of the new commandant of the 10th regiment of infantry. The dispatch says he was received with enthusiasm. A report being current that a great number of the disbanded National Guards had refused to deliver up their arms, the Diarie asserts that all the arms, with the exception of a small quantity, have already been received by the Government. A royal decree replaces the National Guards in the capital by three battalions, one of the clerks and others in the service of the Government, the other two of volun teers from the trading classes. The Diarie publishes the following decree, suspending the constitutional guarantees : " Article 1. All individual guarar.tees are suspended throughout the kingdom for thirty days. Arrests may be practised without any previous forms of procedure." " Article 2. During this period the publication of all journals and other l eriodicals is prohibited—with the exception of literary and scientific publications and the Diario do Gorerno." The Diario also publishes a royal decree dated the 9th, signed by the QUEEN and all the Ministers, re voking the decrees published by the last Ministry re lative to the direct election of Deputies with extraor dinary powers, and for the convocation of the Cortes for the Ist of December. These decrees do in fact establish in Portugal a pure, absolute, irresponsible despotism. The QUEEN is at this moment by virtue of these decrees more absolute than ever was Don AfIGUEL, and this is what M. GUIZOT calls constitutional Conservatism. Madrid papers of the 15th have been received. That day was the anniversary of the execution of DIEGO LEON, and the fetes were suspended in conse- quence. It appears certain that ere long there will be some sort of amnesty published. The Heraldo says it will include all military men, without exceptions THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1846. from the rank of colonel downwards, and civilians of corresponding rank. The .Populur adds that many others of higher rank will be specially pardon el by name. The Tiemp Fay: that the amnesty , will h:Lve no other exceptions than Don CARLOS and his family, and General CABRERA. Unless the personal wishes of the QUEEN are over• ruled by the interference of the French Ambassador, there can be no doubt but that the amnesty will be an extensive one, since, according to the Espanol, the QUEEN has on mere than one occasion declared emphatically that she will sign no stinted measure, but will have a comprehensive pardon, or none at all. Queen CHRISTINA was hissed on her return from the bull fight on Tuesday. The young QUEEN was loudly cheered. The Cortes were to be dissolved OD the 20th, and the new Cortes convolved for December. The Due D'AUMALE was to leave Madrid on Mon day last, the 19th. The Due DE MONTPENSIER. and his bride will not leave until the 28th. The Mercantile Association of Madrid have given a grand dinner to Mr. COBDEN in the Fonda del Principe. Senor Aniceto Alviro, President of the Association, presided, and besides Mr. Cobden and his travelling companions, Mr. Shwabe, of Manchester, and M. Roux, of Bordeaux, there were invited the Duke of Sotomayor, the Count of Santa Olalla, and Senors Luzarriaga, Florez Estrada, Barzanallana, Teijas, Bellvan de Lis, Calderon Callantes, Moron, J. M. de Mora, and Senor C. Marrieta, of London. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 15.—The Three per Cents., 35, buyers; the Four per Cents., 21 1 / 2 ; Five per Cents., 22, buyers, with the Coupon.

It is evident that France is meditating an armed inter vention in the affairs of Switzerland. The Debats says— " Although we have not, thank Heaven, any new dis orders to deplore in Switzerland, we cannot dissemble that the situation of this unfortunate country appears to become more and more afflicting. A rumour prevailed yesterday that Basle-country was about to attack with :rms Basle-city, and the intelligence of that event may ioon be expected. In another direction the free corps are in agitation, and the league of the seven Catholic , !antons is preparing for resistance. At Friburg already the Council of State has decided to call into the town three companies of infantry and a company of artillery, o pass a review throughout the wholc canton, of the landwehr of the first class, and of the landsturm ; to Corm a battalion of the landwehr of the second class ; to augment the battalions of the landwehr of the first class by voluntary engagements ; and, lastly, to organise in companies, and to arm with carbines, men forming part of the landsturm and of the landwehr of the second class. Thus fears are entertained of seeing repeated in this canton the scenes which have just ensanguined Ge neva. The rabble are numerous there and in arms, and the example of their neighbours causes a dangerous ex citement." The rabble of Geneva are, if we may judge from their acts, a much more orderly set of persons than the respectable ultramontanists of Lucerne. The vic tory of General SONNENBERG in Lucerne, by which the Jesuits obtained an ascendancy, was followed by wholesale incarcerations, banishments, and confisca tions. The reverend fathers showed no mercy. The rabble of Geneva, on the contrary, have not in any single insta nce prosecu t e d or p ersecu t e d one of their opponents , and even their enemies are obliged to admit that Geneva has never been more orderly or quiet than it is under the Provisional Govern ment. If the French Government will cease at tempting to force the Jesuits on those cantons which reject their interference in the education of the people, Switzerland will be tranquillised at once. For his own sake we hope M. GUIZOT will not attempt an armed intervention in support of the Jesuits. The Chamber compelled him to expel the Jesuits from France. Is it likely that the Chamber will approve of his wasting the blood and money of France in support of Jesuitism in Switzerland? So intense is the hatred borne to the Jesuits by the French people (and just cause the French people have for their hatred), that we believe, even in the present Chambers, M. Guizor would not be able to muster a majority to support him in an attempt to force the Jesuits vi et arnis upon the people of Switzerland. The recent coup d'etat in Portugal is commented on at great length in all these papers. The National, in the language of honest indignation, thus comments on the more than Yankee smartness exhibited by the Camarilla in bringing about the recent change : "If all these wretched tricks had been employed to overturn not a ministry, but a revolution, to deceive by aid of the army, seduced and led astray, the manifest wish of the country, to cover a whole city with soldiers, :o surprise it by an Act placing it in a state of siege and by the proclamation of the dictator, supported by bayonets—if all that had passed in a country, called constitutinal, by the caprice of a Queen and by the aid foreign gold, what suitable name could be found to qualify such infamy? Such is, however, an abridged iccount of the last exploit of Donna Maria. She placed herself at the head of a veritable conspiracy against her own Ministers. Her right permitted her to change them, but openly, in full daylight, and according to the formalities which the law requires. She lays a snare for them, draws them to the Palace as into a trap, and calls on the General in command of the division of Lis bon to write the necessary orders for all the troops of the garrison to be drawn up by daybreak in the open space in front of the Palace. When she had obtained what she desired, she imprisons the Mi n i sters an d t h e G enera l, then destroys the National Guard, suspends the consti tution, and arrogates to herself absolute despotism ! She does not even give herself time to wait for her new satellite, Saldanhe, to change the commanders of the different corps ; she had beforehand replaced them all, unknown to her Ministers ; she had signed commissions for the old officers brought back by Cabral ; she had renewed, on her own irre sponsible authority all the civil and military posts; and, that being done ; she had sent her agents to arrest at the same time the persons who had not been inveigled to the palace. We cannot say what will be the denouement of this drama, but we were anxious to enu merate the facts, in order that the opinion of Europe may judge them beforehand. And if, as we hope, this audacious insult to a whole nation be followed by a marked and exemplary chastisement, what political party will there then be that will dare to find too severe the act of justice that shall ensue ? Nations cate'see every where at present at what sport monarchs amuse themselves -- what importance they attach to their declared, a ll kinds of perfidies are had reco urse t o . liberty—what respect they prof ess f or their manifesta tions ! Where force is wanting, corrupti on steps i n ; where war falsehoods,cla res no t and b be o p p e e r n fi l [t is supposed, perhaps , that by such means insu rrect i ons stratagems, may b e discouraged ; but, on the contrary, this is the way to prepare them, to render them inevitable, and to unwinds victorious nations that moderation which they made use of the morning after victory ! This lesson will one day cost dear to those who gave it, and then it will be too late to repent of what is done." The C'onstitutionnel thus analyses the old and the new Portuguese Ministry : " The names of the men who formed the late Ministry wire so many guarantees both for liberty and the throne of the Queen. The Duke de Pahnella, a tried Mode• redo, but who surpassed by M. Costa Cabral as anxious to work at the task of the Absolutists as M. Gotiesles Bravo was at Madrid, naturally found himself placed at the head of the Liberal reaction opposed to the first; Viscount Sada Bandiera, the most chiva'rous Por tuguese of the present day, chief of the honest and per. severing Exaltadcs; Count de Labrarlio, a Liberal, con stant and without stain, Minister to Donna, Maria during the emigration; M. Aujuiar, an old Chartist; and Mo• rinho d'Albuquerque, more strong in his opinions than the Duke de Paltnella, and less so than Viscount Sada Bandiera, and with a mind and character suited (gldly to accord with both. Two worthy acts have above all others marked this Administration—the re-establish ment of the National Guards, which was proposed by the Duke de Pahnella, and the order given by M. Bernard da Sa to the army nut to use terror in influencing the voters in the elections—a thing never before heard of in Portugal or Spain." After censuring in severe terms the QUEEN'S pro clamation it thus proceeds : " Let us now consider the acts of the new Ministry. A decree for disbanding the National Guard, and ano ther abolishing the constitutional guarantee; despotism and anarchy ! This is too close an imitation of Spain ! And who were the men who undertook this duty ? What were the tools made use of in this task ? Who were the i nstruments, not of this counter-revolution — the word is odious alihoueh not wanting in grandeur— this intsigue ? Marshal Saldanha, the perpetual suc cessor of the Duke de Palmella, at one time all for the Exaltados, and at another for the Resctionists. A fine presence, a chivalresque attitude, as it is vulgarly called; a b o d y stuffed with bran dressed in a velvet coat ; such are his political and military qualities. A y meg chamberlain, two men scarcely known, and two Ministers, one or whom is absent and alio will probably rd not a, h cce the Queen, or rather the King, or much rather the German mentor. Of Portugal, of her interests, and of her men, there is scarce thought, or question , ly more than of the constitution. VVe cannot treat these petty intrigues with too much severity. The Constitutiosnet. so long asM.Costa Cabral did not make an abusive use ut power, expressed wishes for his remaining in office. It has desired that the successors of the Costa Cabral Ministry, more worthy than it of inspiring co nfidence, might for a long time hold the direction of the affairs of their country. It may now be permitted to deplore the absolutism of an enlightened Court, making itself the accomplice and instigator of anarchy." The Courrier Francais has a long article recom mending France to seek an intimate alliance with Prussia) rather than with Russia, Austria, or England. The French Government is actively employed in improving the state of its navy, and accumulating naval stores at its different dock girds. Last wet-k a contract was concluded by the Minister of the Marine for oak tifduer for ship'ouilding to the amount of upwards of one million sterling. Contracts have also been taken for a large supply of coals, to be delivered both in France and in the French colonies. A French company has just concluded a contract to deliver four thousand tons of coals in Madagascar, where it is rumoured the French Go vernment intends to send another expedition, if the disturbed state of their relations with the other states of Europe should not prove an obstacle. By the terms of the different contracts both the coals and the timber must be carried in French bottoms. From this it will be seen that our neighbours, though they profess to be under no alarm for peace, do not neglect preparations for war. PARIS BOURSE, OcT. 20.—The market has been scarcely so firm to-day; Threes have, however, closed within a shade of yesterday's prices, but the Fives have slightly receded, the last price called for the former being 82f. 65c., and of the latter 117 f. 65c.

Maria Donald was placed at the bar charged with stealing a purse containing 19s. and some trinkets from a gentleman named Goodyer, in Farringdon-street, on Monday evening. When the case was called on the prosecutor was not in attendance, and the Alderman, Sir Peter Laurie, having ascertained that the prisoner was not known to the police, anti certainly was not one of the females who infest the streets of the City, strongly censured the con duct of the prosecutor in omitting to come forward to substantiate the charge, said, that in consequence of the statement of the police, he was disposed to think that the prosecutor was mistaken. Whilst the magistrate was speaking, Mr. Goodyer came into Court, and having apologised for his un avoidable delay, and declared that he had no intention of abandoning the charge, of the truth of which he was perfectly convinced, he said that on Monday evening, at seven o'clock, as he was passing through Farringdon street, the prisoner accosted him, and asked him the way to Bride-lane. As he was giving her an answer le was hustled by two " gentlemen" so violently that his " breath was taken away," and in the meantime the pri soner abstracted his purse from his great coat pocket, and ran off. Last evening he met her on Blackfriars bridge, and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and referred for her character to the person with whom she resided, and to the tradesmen for whom she worked. After hearing the inspector of police and other con stables, as well as the friends of the prisoner, the magis trate dismissed the case. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A cabman named ,Sidney Kersey, w as charged before Mr. Hall with being concerned in stealing a watch and chain from the person of a gentleman, whose name we did not hear. The prosecutor said that last night he was at a public house in Long-acre, and seeing the prisoner with his cab opposite the door, he offered to hire him, but the prisoner said he would not take him, as he was en gaged. Witness then went away, but had not got far from the shop when he was met by some women, who laid hold of him, and attempted to seise his watch. Witness pushed them away, but the prisoner, who had followed him from the cab, caught him by the arm and held him while the women robbed him of his watch and chain. Witness was not quite sober, but he was per fectly collected, and able to know what passed. The prisoner called in his defence a witness, who said that he and a friend took the cab in Barbican, to drive to Lung-acre, when they stopped at the public-house to get chancre, and give the prisoner his fare and some thing to drink. The prosecutor was there, very drunk, and was twice turned out by the landlord, and he offered to take the prisoner's cab, but the prisoner refused to drive him. The prosecutor went away, and the prisoner returned with witness and his Iriend to the public-house, where he remained for some time. The prosecutor, after some time, again came into the public-house, and charged the prisoner with stealing his watch. Witness told him he must be mad to make such a charge against a man who had been in the public-house ever since he himself left it, and was there at the time he said he was robbed. 'rho prosecutor, however, insisted on giving the prisoner in charge. The other witness corroborated this statement. Policeman F 53, who took the prisoner into custody said that he and his witnesses were sober, but the pro secutor was drunk. Mr. HALL said there was no foundation for the charge, it ought not to have been made, and the prisoner ought not CO have been taken into custody. If the prisoner chose to bring an action for false imprisonment he would be pretty sure to get heavy damages. The prisoner said he would do so, for it was a very hard case. MARLBR(Y-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Frampton. an errand-boy, wAs charged this morning with stealing a great coat from a gig, and a pair of leather soles. Gen. Floris, living at 34, Edward-square, Kensington, said he drove up last night about a quarter before seven o'clock to a house in Jermyn.street. The defendant and another lad came up to hold the horse, which he gave to the boy Frampton, and went into the house, leaving his top-coat in the gig. He had been inside about twenty minutes, and found when he came out that his coat was gone. He gave the boy into custody, and at the station house property was found on him which he had come by improperly. James Macmillan, 104, Gerard-street, said the de• fendant, his errand-boy, had been sent up to Carnaby street, on business, some hours before this took place. The pair of leather soles found on the boy, he said, were his property, and had not been given him. Just 'before leaving the boy made a pretence of g down to wash his hands in the cellar, where the soles could be found, and no doubt had taken them then. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the coat what ever ; but as to the soles, he said they were his master's, which he had been induced to take by one of the work men, who meant to put them on his own boots. Mr. HARDWICK said, as the coat had not been dis covered he would remand the boy till this day week. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY). The lad Callaghan, whose case was remanded on a charge of pigeon stealing, was again brought before Mr. Long. Mr. Courtnay, of No. 9, Finchley-road, was satisfied that the birds in the possession of police-constable Grant, 63 S, were his property, and Martha Ballanger, residing at 3, Finchley-road, de post -d to having seen four boys go over the wall belong ing to Mr. Courtnay's premises, and take each a pigeon from a coop. The boy having confessed to the robbery was com mitted for trial. SOUTIIIV ARK.--ITHIS DAY.) James Simmons, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Turner, hair deah rs, Leadenhall-street, City, WriS placed ut the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of hair, the property of his employers. Burton, a constable of the M division, said that on the ' previous evening he was on duty in Berm,aidsey-street, when he saw the prisoner enter a marine store dealer's with a bundle under his arm. He follow( d him in, and saw him produce from the bundle a quantity of hair, which he offered for sale; but the shopkeeper refused to make any purchases. Suspecting the property to be stolen, he (the officer) questioned him respecting it, when he ascertained it to.d been stolen from the warel.ouse of his employers. He accordingly took him into custody. The hair was identified by one of the complainant's men, who had clipped it from various heads. A clerk in the same employ said, the prisoner had been in their service about three years. and the utmost confidence was reposed in him. his employers, how ever, had no wish to press the charge as the prisoner had a wife and family dependent upon his exertions. Mr. SECKER said he could not overlook the prisoner's conduct. He had been guilty of a serious crime, which would have caused him to have been transported had the 'prosecutor desired him to commit him for trial. He should, under the circumstances, sentence him to three months' imprisonment. WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Joseph Davis wss brought before Mr. Bingham, the sitting magistrate, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. Police-constable 323 N, stated that at about 10 o'clock last night he was on duty in the district near the Re gput's Canal, when he observed the defendant delibe• rattily mount the parapet of the bridge, and precipitate himself therefrom into the water, before witness could possibly reach him. The drags were obtained, and the defendant was got out alive. Medical aid was also speedily obtained, and proper nourishment having been administered to the defendant, he was cot veyed to the station-house. Witness added that he had since seen a brother of the defendant, who is in good circumstances, and who appeared well disposed towards the latter. Mr. BINGHAM enquired whether the brother was will ing to receive the defendant ?—Defendant replied that he had no doubt of it. Mr. BINGHAM, in an animated but feeling manner, animadverted upon the awful situation from which he had so providentially escaped plunging himself into. Ile should detain him until the arrival of some of his ramily. MORTALITY OP THE METROPOLIS.—The total number of deaths regiaered in the metropolis during the week ending Salurday, Oct. 17, 1846, was 821 : of these 802 were from other causes than violence, showing a decrease in the number of deaths from disease of 72 as compared with the week preceding. The deaths from diarrhoea were 35, from dysentery 3, from cholera 2. The births rrgistered during the week were 1,287. . _ MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TI! The Cotton m irket at Liverpool yesterday was firm, the sales being- 7,000 bal-s, of which 4,000 were on speculation. Shares were dull aain. There are n o s hip arr i va l s t o day with late intelli gence of any interest. We are advised in accounts from Odessa of the 18th ultimo that 150 vessels had arrived in port there within a day or two, chi( fly Greek and Italian. 'I hese were to receive on board from 350,000 to 400,000 quarters of wheat for Italy and the south of France, and after that large quantity had been shipped, there would still re main at Odessa about 150,000 quarters av&lable for ex portation from last year's harve:A. The produce of this year's crop was not expected to arrive at Odessa until about the middle of the present month. According to report the crcp would be sufficiently abundant to allow of large further exports. There has been a disposition again this morning, in the English Stock Market, to ell et sales, and the con sequence is a further sli g ht depression in prices. Con sols realise 94 Z- for present transfer, and 948 to 95 for Account. Exchequer-bills are 13s. to 16s. premium. Bank Stock is marked 205 to 2061. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 93i ; and the Three per Cents. 93 a East India Stock is worth 2578 to 259. There is quite a pause in the Foreign market. Spanish Three per Cents. are 31, and Mexican are nominally about 228 to 23. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 5%..1- to 59. For Shares there has been a steady market generally. East India Scrip has been flatter, but not lower. It is not known that there has yet been any decision come to upon the subject of the facilities which the East Intlia Company will give to railways. The business done has been to a moderate extent. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 0 06 1 4 205 206 1 A 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities ... 93% % 3 per Cent.
