Lord Durham as among the measures which he deems essential or hi neficial reforms? Whether can they be con sidered as things eood for their own sakes—that is to say, good as ends. or 2.00 d only in their Ministerial character, as means towards facilitating still further objects? Why, it is manifest that this " ballot," this more " extended suffrage," and this rigorous and inevitable termination of the existence of Parliament ‘• after a three )ears' continuance." contain in themselves no comfort, or benefit, or value worth one single farthing. They are definable or tangible, or susceptible of classification, no otherwise than its being each of them an in. cresse to that mass of democratic power which the Reform Bill had itself so suddenly and prodigiously augmented, and whit h, we believe it is the firm conviction of all disinterested and t. fleeting Statesmen throughout the empire, cannot now b' further enlarged without at once converting, the representative Monarchy of England into an unmixed anti rithide-ritiden Republic, The same spirit runs through the ittn of radical reiorming schemes both here and in Ire. land. " Power" Is the cry, "We must have more iMwer," power ± 441 !in what Titu do nr4 tell us what, hut they at.

Arid all this is attempted, under the name of freedom ! on behalf of men who know not that, in po litical society, the possession of any given " freedom" implies the exercise of a specific trust. Mr. Burke in his immortal Reflections on the Revolution in France expresses himself as follows:—" I must he tolerably sures before I venture pub. licly to congratulate men upon a blessing, that they have really received one. Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver ; and adulation is not of more service to the people than to kings. I should, therefore, suspend my congratula tions on the new liberty of France, until I was informed hoot it had been combined with government—with public force---with the discipline and obedience of arm ies—n ith the collection of an effective and well distributed reveoue— with morality and religion—with solidity and property—with peace order—with civil and social manners. All these (in their way) arc good things too ; and without them liberty is not a benefit whilst it lasts, and is not likely to continue long. The effect of liberty to individuals is, that they may do what they please : we ought to see what it will please them to do before we risk congratulations, which may be soon turned into complaints." The calm and profound wisdom of the above passage, in all its members, ought to be well studied by such light-armed speculators as ord Durham, who scud across the broken field of politics at a speed propor tioned to the little weight they carry. It is mighty fine (it is at least mighty popular) to shout away for " liberty"—" more liberty"---that is, for a greater amount of power to be vested in men who have not yet shown us " what it will please them to do" with such power, or how far they are inclined to exercise, or with the most upright feelings are capable of exercising, the powers they already_hold, and which they must of course retain, for the promotion of that blessing to which alone they have a recognizable right, and to the educated classes of society, have an unquestionable right at their hands—the blessing of good governnient. It would he unmanly trifling on our part to con ceal our strong belief that the communication to the ignorant and non-proprietary classes of those enlarged privileges which Lord Durham and other mob-courting, though mob-hating Radicals, like himself, profess their readiness to bestow upon them, would become a machinery instrumental only to the purposes of a few turbulent and corrupt jobbers in popular ac clamation, and would recoil in curses upon the multitude itself, sooner than on their wealthier and ,more intelligent fellow subjects. The assumption, however, by that Noble Lord, of a language foreign to his secret predilections, was not for the silly and futile object of advancing the progress of democratic measures, which he knows well that it does not depend on him to carry, and, in fact, which he will never live to see in the shape of laws—it was from a much narrower, more immediate, and • more selfish motive. It was to smooth down the Radicals of the county of Durham, and to gain over, if he could, a few score of votes from Mr. Liddell's canvass at the next election, the recent return of that lion. Gentleman having sorely crippled the personal influence, and blighted the self'- importance, of Lord Durham. The Noble Lord proceeds to mystify his hearers upon another topic, with regard to which he requests the Durham associators " not to deceive them selves," but to consider it as what it really is, " the great ques tion o f the d a y," " one which must be grappled with"— " which must tie stated to the people of England, and the Conservatives shall not escape from it." This latter sentence is rather lofty vapourieg from him who himself has caught • the Tartar. Who told Lord Durham that it was the Con servatives who wanted to escape from the Irish Roman Catholic question ? Is his Lordship so utterly void of can dour as to deny that the Conservatives have done their utmost to settle that Popish question, or that there is nothing they desire so anxiously as to see it out, and the ,Church and State released from its torturing pres sure ? Can I,ord Durham, again, - have the front to forget that it is the Whig, Ministers who first involved the Popish question in a maze of difficulty, and who now seek to escape from the meshes of their own weaving, but in vain ? Who was it that inoculated the Church question with that ulcerous arid fatal matter of the appropriation clause, which its authors dare not again bring to the bar of either House of Parliament, from a thorough consciousness that it will he contemptuously rej -cted, while the bill. without the clause, becomes a signal for the Radicals to load them with clamorous execrations, and for the Conservatives to walk quietly into office? Escape, indeed ! What door lies open to the escape of Ministers from this mortal question ? There is no doubt that O'Connell and the Irish Papists will agree to quash the appropriation clause, or to swamp or swallow that or any other question which creates the slightest embarrassment to a Ministry who have transferred into their sordid hands the hourly increasing pa. tronage of the British Crown, and have clothed a corps of civil and military insurgents in the Royal livery. As a desperate alternative, therefore, the attempt may, we think, be made to settle the Church question, and commute the tithe by bolting the appropriation clause. If so, the Melbourne Ca- I,inet is a withered and blasted firm. The commutation of tithe is a Conservative measure. ' It formed the subject of an excellent and well-constructed bill, brought into Parliament by one of Sir Robert Peel's colleagues. It was superseded by the Whigs, coerced as they were by O'Connell, because it did not contain the appropriation clause, which the Ministers and their Popish master " declared to he essential to every plan for adjusting the Tithe question," which Mr. Perrin, the Popish Attorney-General, assured the House would go far to soothe and conciliate Ireland, which Lord J. Russell, Lord Mor. petli, Mr. S. Rico. and other Ministers recommended to the House becaus e it %twilit pacify Ireland, but which Messrs. Daniel O'Connell and Richard Sheil proclaimed should only pass with them for a " first instalment" of that debt—viz , the en tire overthrow of the Protestant Church—without the payment in full of which Ireland would not, and .sliou/d not, enjoy tran quillity. Well, then, we ask the Ministers what they will do? And we answer for them--they will swallow their vital appro priation clause—nay, more, they will eat up Lord Mor peth's unspeakaldy impudent and profligate measure Of last Session, for compelling the Protestant clergy that now exist to educate the whole Papist population of Ire land out of their own incomes ! Ay. the Rump Whigs ill do all this, and more : as they votid against the Conservative Church Bill for the sake of turning Sir Robert Peel out of office. so they will now not merely vote fer, hut propose a similar bill, for the sake of keeping them selves in office, and after being thus disgraced, their official nower will follow their moral existence, as a Nii:li s try , b y g . c,:ng heartiong nut of the window. There is another point or two io Lord Durham's speech relating to Popery, which we may observe upon hereafter. Rot the Noble Lord, we sus pect, need not flatter himself that, on any abrupt close of his present diplomatic functions, he can find his euthanasia by falling hack irpo3bome polities as head of the Papist- Radical section of the Whigs. Lord John Russell will inform his Lordship that the post has for some time been bespoken,— alf Ths Duke of Beaufort is suffering from a severe attack of gout at Kultninton. Sir Robert and Lady Fitzwyratn have arrived fiorn North Mymm; Park at Connaught place. Dr. Mike. Physician to the Queen, is to he raised to the dignity of Baronet. We hear that Sir James Graham and Lord Stan!ey Lave signified their intention of not honouring by their pre sence the dinner to which the citizens of London have invited her Majesty on the 9th of next month. Both Sir .lames Grithax and Lord Stanley had received formal invi tations from the civic authorities, but it is said that they Dave come to the resolution of not meeting their Sovereign on this grand and most interesting oceasion.—Observer.

LONDON: MONDAY EVENING OCTOBER 23, 183% The speech of Lord DURHAM, which was delivered on Tuesday last at the first public dinner of the North Durham Reform Society, is one which will excite Much attention ; for his Lordship stands out in the front rank among the Reformers of the dayyand has, as he himself tells us, been the subject of gross mis representation ; in fact, condemned alike by ultra- Radical and ultra- Tory. This we do not wonder at— indeed we should be surprised were it otherwise—for the Noble Lord holds the safe mean between the two extremes, as will be-evident on a perusal of his speech, which is of a bold and manly, but temperate and constitutional character, such as a British statesman should deliver, and a British audience should listen to. But while we give his Lordship's speech this general praise, we cannot but say that there are parts of it to which we decidedly object. For in stance, he tells us, " I am attached to hlonsehold Suf frage, Vote by Ballot, and Triennial Parliaments, but though I shall ever be ready to declare that attachment in my place in Parliament, I never can, and never will, force them dogmatically on the consideration of the Government or the country. However unchangeable my attachment to these principles may be, if, on a division, this meeting were to decide against me on any, or every, one of them, I would not press them on your consideration, any more than I would press them on the consideration of the people before they were prepared to receive them." Now, if we under stand anything of the English language, the meaning of the above passage is neither more nor less than this :—I am warmly attached to three great political questions, which I think indispensable to the welfare of the country ; but though I cherish this attach ment from deep-rooted conviction, I would not for worlds endeavour to impress the people with the same feelins ;' no, I would rather leave them to draw their own unbiassed conclusions, in the hope that one day or other they will come round to my own way of think ing.—lf this he Lord DURIIA NE's meaning, and we strongly suspect it is, we must frankly beg leave to tell him, that the course which he proposes to pursue, as regards Household Suffrage, the Ballot, and Triennial Parliaments, is one from which no benefit can possibly accrue to the commttnity. If, as he says, he regards the carrying of these measures as indispensable to the furtherance of Reform, surely lie should actively be- • stir him Self, and exert all his influence in their fa vour ! He should not be content with merely holding :hem, but should endeavour, at every suitable oppor tunity, to impress their imperative necessity on the minds of others. Of what use is it to us that Lord I)pairAM acknowledges and feels a truth, if he will not give all possible circulation to that truth ? It is not thus that neat questions are hurried forward to a fortunate issue. If we are convinced ourselves of the justice of a certain political measure, it is our bounden duty to endeavour to impress others with the same convic tion —more especially is his Lordship bound to do so, fur no roan stands higher in the estimation of the Reformers than he does, and if he recommend a cold and cautious and dilatory line of conduct, he may rely on it that he will find hundreds ready and willing enough to follow his example. What we now most need—what we now most desire to see on the part of British state men—are promptitude and energy. Backed by these requisites, our leading Reformers may do every nothing. We are sick of thing ; without them, the bide-your-time principle. It has no mean ing at a stirring period; and leads to all sorts of delusions and disappointments. Either the three _great questions which Lord DURITANI advocates are necessary, or they are not. If necessary, then let !lin: argue them—let him insist on thorn—let him battle for them—without a moment's delay. But to wait till the people are prepared to receive them —was ever such infatuation ? How should they ever he pre pared, if these who are best fitted to enlighten theta shrink from the task of instruction.? ..... We hazard these cursory remarks in no disrespect ful spirit to Lord DURHAM. We know—and have long known—his great public worth ; that he is sin cere in his Pttachment to Reform, and would fain see it progressing as it should do. He should bear in mind, however, that to be impressed with a strong political conviction, and not to enforce that convic tion, is to be guilty of a dereliction of public duty. How could we ever expect to see the Ballot carried, if its advocates, instead of writing for it, speaking for it, and struggling for it, were to say, one and all—" we will not be dogmatists ; we will not strive to enlighten the ignorant, and remove the prejudices of the bi L ;ott, , d ; but !et the question take its emir e, and trust for its success to the chapter of accidents." Doubtless the Tories would thank us for such luke warmness ; but would they show it themselves ? Have they ever shown it on any great question where their own interests were concerned? Not a bit of it. They are active enough then, anti so should we be—parti enhaly on such a measure as the Ballot, without which the Reform Bill a we have lately had too much rea.- son to know—is but a dead letter, Let tis itatir ottr. selves, then, promptly and actively, ort this great question, the netedsity of whith, as Lord Dom AM has justly ohserved, is now placed beyond a doubt. His Lordadiip's allusions to the Tories, and his exhorta repkte with the tritest eloquence ) to the peopk, to foim Reform Societies in every dittriet of the kingdom, were in the best possible spirit. Equally admirable were his remarks on Ireland, which will thrill to the heart of every Catholic in that kingdom. Spea4ing of Minis ters, the Noble Earl said, 1 4 my confidence in Lord M ELBOURNE is such that I believe you may safely trust him. I speak independently. lam in the service of the Crown, but I am not a Member of the Govetn ment. I know nothing of their councils. I look only to their public proceedings, and at the character of their head, and I shall be much disappointed if you do not, at the ensuing Ses sion of Parliament, see them pursue a course that will secure to them the respect, the esteem, and the confidence of all classes of Reformer,, be their opinions what they may." We . believe there is much truth in these remarks. Ministers are entitled to cur confidence ; but while we say this, we at the same time exhort the people to keep a sharp look out a-head, and by 'toucans to indulge in that blind security which is the result of over•confidence. They must act as if they had none to trust to but themselves. If they desire the Ballot, they must struggle for it themselves. If they wish to see justice done to Ire land, they must themselves insist on it. If Church Reform, and Law Reform are dear to them, it is by their zeal, by their unanimity, by their perseverance, that these blessings must be secured to them. Since the above remarks were written, we have been informed by a gentleman who was present at the North Durham Dinner, from the accidental circumstance of his having arrived the day before at Durham, and who is quite unconnected with politics, that nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which Lord DURHAM was received by a very large company, composed of the most respectable and influential gen tlemen of the county and neighbourhood. The tribute of praise, in particular,. which he bestowed on Mr. HUTT, whose valuable services we trust to see soon restored to the cause of Reform by a Committee of the House of Commons, was received with the greatest enthusiasm. In referring on Wednesday last to various commu nications received by us on the subject of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA'S visit to the City of London, on the 9th of November, we suggested to the Privy Council the expediency of issuing an order com manding that the day of her MAJESTY'S first visit to the capital of her dominions should be observed as a holiday. We are glad to find that our suggestion to this effect has met with very general approbation, and that measures are about to be taken by a respect able body of citizens, which cannot fail to obtain for it the attention of her MAJESTY in Council. At a meeting of the Police Committee of the Common Council of the City of London on Saturday, Alderman VENABLES, who filled the chair, proposed that the Committee should recommend to the Court of Alder men the appointment of the 9th of November a holi day in the city, .which was instantly agreed to—the Committee expressing their hearty and entire approval of such a measure. Now, under no circumstances can it be contended that a holiday is more necessary in London than in Westminster ; and if the Court of Aldermen agree to make an order for closing the shops in the city, the Privy Council will be in duty bound to extend a similar opportunity of expressing their devotion to their young and be loved SOVEREIGN, to the inhabitants west of Tem. ple-bar. Besides, as we before stated, it will be impossible for bankers to keep open their estab lishments without hazarding the loss of immense property—a risk to which we are sure our gracious QUEEN would not willingly see any portion o f her faithful subjects wantonly exposed. Shopkeepers though not exposed to the hazard of such heavy losses, will require equal protection—namely, an authority to shut their shops w.ithout injury to themselves, or dis appointment to their customers. The appointment of the 9th of November a general holiday within the city and suburbs of London will put an end to all dis putes between the employers and the employed— will afford the opulent an opportunity of in dulging, without risk to themselves, the loyal enthusiasm of those depending upon them ; and will quash the incipient jealousies of the inhabitants of London and Westminster. It ought to be borne in mind that for several hours in the day, the shops along the whole line from St. James's Palace to Guildhall must he closed. Now it is the closing of their shops v.ithont the previous knowledge of their customers that is really injurious to the shopkeepers. To obviate this injury, there is no remedy but that which we have pointed out—the appointment of the 9th of November a solemn holiday. In another part of our paper will be found the speech delivered by the Rev. Mr. STARK, at the late Reform Festival, held at Inverness. The toast which the Rev. Gentleman proposed, " The National Board of Education," led him naturally to contrast the policy of the two parties in the State who have had the ma nagement of our public affairs. The picture whiA . he has drawn cannot fairly be said to he overcharged on either side. .The Tories may, perhaps, not much relish the severe truth which the artist has infus,id into the piece—particularly when they consider the flattering likenesses which their family painters are in the habit of furnishing ; but let them only examine themselves i►upartially let them look a little into their own doings, stripped of the false colours which it is the business of party hirelings to lay upon them, and we will answer for their acknowledging—in their hearts at least—the force of the likeness. Their ambi dexter chief stands out from the canvass in prominent relief, and if he make a pitiable figure when plucked of the borrowed plumes in which he bed arxayed himself, and reduced to the puny standard of his own intrinsic dimensions, we can only say it is the► fate which, sooner or later, awaits all who appro priate to themselves the merit that belongs to others. Mr. STA RK, af:er mentioning the principal mea sures for which the country ►s- indebted to the Reform Administration, such as the throwing open the India and China trade—the abolition of Colonial slavery— the granting of Liberal Municipal institutions to Eng land and Scotland—the Marriage and Registration Acts—the mitigation of the sanguinary Criminal L a w, concludes the summary with the following emphatic passage, in the justice and truth of which- we venture to say there is not a well-informed man in the British empire who does not heartily concur. " These, Gentlemen, are but a few of the measures of im provement which have been introduced by the Reforming Mi nistry in the course of five or six years; and of nothilig am I more certain than that if the Tories had been able to retain their hold of the reins of government, they would not have done as much good in five or six hundred years—( Cheers) — nay, that they would not to the end of the world make one single concession to the public freedom, and public happiness, and the rights of conscience, unless it was extorted from them by the public cry—that is, by the dread of losing their places." (Cheers.) The Reverend Gentleman then goes on to show that certain measures of a liberal nature which the Tories sometimes claim credit for as being passed wider a Tory Government, were not granted by, but in spite of that Government ; the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts having been opposed by. the whole strength of the Cabinet, and the Ca tholic Emancipation having been yielded to the indig• nant voice of Ireland, speaking through the Ca- Idiotic Association ; and then only at a crisis when Sir RouF,am PEKL declared, that though still as WitICII opposed as ever to the policy of giving relief to the Catholics, he acquiesced in it as the only means of carrying on the Government, The observations of Mr, STARK on the Ministerial plan for abolishing Chorthqatcs arc well worth the attention of those who profess themselves friends of the Church of Englantlw After alluding to the scenes of irritation and strife which the Church-rate contest is daily producing, and the religious animosity which is thereby engendered, he asks—let the advocates of Church-rates answer the question—" Is this a state of things favourable to the Established Church, or to the interests of true reli gion, or to the peace and prospetity of the 'com munity?" The most interesting part, however, of this excellent address is that in which the Rev. speaker enlarges upon the system of national education now in pi ogress in Ire land. That system has been misrepresented and reviled by the Tories and their organs, simply because while it imparts instruction to, the ignorant, it is attended' with the most beneficial effects in overcoming those preju dices, which have so long kept the Catholics and the Protestants at variance, and which it is the policy of the " Ascendancy" party to foster for their own selfish ends. One of the false pretences put forth by the unprincipled party who oppose national educatim in Ireland is that it excludes the Bible from the schools ! Religion, say these hypocrites, is totally neglected. Now, hear the opinion of a sound and strict Scottish Divine upon this important point : "It is the fundamental principle of morality—it is immutable justice, to give to all their due, and what are we to think of a church which cannot afford to do this without ex posing herself to danger l—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, there is no branch of the policy of her Majesty's Ministers which is more virtually opposed by the Tories, and in regard to which greater misrepresentation prevails than the National System of Education in Ireland. Now, it is the distinctive character of this system that its advantages are open to all classes of the community—it gives no superiority to one religious denomination over another. So much had I heard of the irreligious, unscriptural, and Popish character of this plan of education, asserted by those who ought to assert nothing but the truth, and who ought to know that it is the truth before they assert it, that I actually procured copies of the different books appointed by the National Board to be used in the schools, and after carefully examining them, I declare it to be my solemn conviction, that the education supported by the Government in In land is more imbued with Christianity—contains a larger proportion of the religion and morality of the Bible, and of the rca ling of the Scripture, than the parochial school education of Scotland." We have not time at present to dwell upon the fact so important in its consequences—that out of be tween three and four hundred thousand scholars now in the course of being educated in Scotland, only sixty-four thousand belong to the parochial, or so called " national" schools. Letters and papers from Madrid of the 14th inst. have been received. By a Royal decree of the 11th, the Province of New Castile was declared to be no longer in a " state of siege." The Cortes had passed the Church Reform Bill, but the REGENT manifested n 1 inclination to adopt it. On the morning of the 14th, a British courier arrived in Madrid with no other covering than a blanket, having been robbed of his horse, clothes, and despatches by a band of Carlist Lancers. The despatches were addressed from our Government to Mr. VILLIERS, our Ambassador at the Court of Spain. This was the second robbery of a courier by the Carlists in the course of a week. Generals CA ROIsIDELET and LoRENzo have ad dressed despatches to the War Minister, giving a very different account of ESPARTEItO ' S gallantry at the battle of Retuerta from that published by the magni loquent Commander-in-Chief. According to these Officers the incapacity of ESPASTERO has hitherto impeded the triumph of the QUEEN'S arms ; that jealous of his subordinates he took every opportunity of rendering their best concerted plans abortive ; that he wilfully fatigued and dispirited his troops by use less, circuitous, and heavy marches through bad 'roads ; and that, when in presence of the enemy, he sought rather to avoid than to court an engagement. They concluded by tendering their resignations, as they could not benefit the Constitutional cause while subordinate to such a Chief, and their example was instantly followed by Generals Van HALEN and RIBEIRO. According to private letters the QUEEN had accepted the resignations of the four Generals, and that on the 14th, Generals ALDAMA and CA.- RA TA LA—the latter an officer of no military repute= had been named successors of two of the Generals who had resigned. The Journal des 'bats of Saturday has the fol lowing intelligence from Spain : A letter from Burgos of the 14th of Oct. states that they had been just informed by a dispatch sent off from Covarub bias on the evening of the 12th, that Don Carlos, with all his staff, had set himself in motion, in order to take the way to wards Madrid again ; the troops which accompanied hi.n con sisted of 8,000 Navarrese, of tiso Castilian battalions, a Valen- clan battalion, and a battalion called that of Algiers. This dispatch stated, that the troops had on the 11th pushed for ward their advanced posts to Sargos and Castello, almost to the banks of the Duero, and that it was probable that they would continue to advance to the South of that river, taking the direct' on of the Sierra'd'Altienz.t. The Burgos letter ex presses the greatest uneasiness for the future fate of Old Cas tile, as presaged by the present circumstances, which would lead one to believe that it was in its turn now destined to be come the seat of the civil war. In fact, the Curlists are orga nisit', themselves there with the most imperturbable assurance. TheCarlist Junta of San Leonardo is returned to instal itself in that place, front whenee it has issued its orders for the levy of a new contribution in men, money, and provisions. It is true that Zariategui, with from three to four thousand men under his orders, has quitted the country for a time, for the purpose, it is supposed, of supporting the movement of Don Carlos, with which intention he himself is marching in a parallel line to the high road to Madrid, which he thus, as it were, keeps in view. The famous Cure, Merino, moreover, again appears upon the scene, and besides the considerable forces which he commands, the influence which his old repu tation, and his advantage as compatriot, give him over the in habitants of the Sierra de Lerma, is much dreaded. His troops consist of two Castilian battalions of 300 horse, a great number. of recruits, and occupy the country between Ontoria de la Cantera and 'Quintero, in the mountains. _ The Madrid Gazette of the 13th contains a Royal decree, authorising* tl►e sale of the convent bells and plate, for the use of die army. On the same (lay the house of Oshea gave 5,0001. for the bells, which are supposed to contain a considerable quantity of silver. The following telegraphic despatches from Spain are copied from the Moniteur of Saturday : BORDEAUX, OCT. .(8,..11.11.F-PAST 12, P. M.—According x) the news of the 14th, from Madrid, the Pretender had marched on the road to Aranda. On the 10th, Espartero marched from Salas, in the same direction. Nothing impor tant had occurred at Madrid, but the elections were generally in favour of the moderate party." " NARBONNE, OCT. 20, RIX O'CLOCK, A.M.—(Perpignan, 19th, evening. )__The Baron de Meer, with four hundred men, returned from Manileu on the 13th, to Barcelona, to re ' establish order there. He was re-organising the national guards. On his return several families who had taken r-Auge on board the vessels In the 'roadstead, landed at Barcelona. On the 11th Valencia was surrounded with small bands. The mails from Madrid had not arrived for two days." In a letter from Madrid of the 14th inst., published by a Morning Contemporary, we find the following con firmation of the conclusion of the first of these de spatches relative to the progress of the elections; : The moderate party have triumphed in the elections for To ledo, Burgos, Zamora, Leon, Salamanca, Logrono, &Man del', Asturias, Soragossa, Soria, Valencia, Murcia, Corunna, Orense, Pontevedra, Lugo, Biscay, Navarre, Caceres, Cor dova, Almeria, Jaen, Seville, and Cadiz, in all 24 provinces. The exaltados have been successful in Madrid, Ciudad Real, Valencia, Avela, Albacete, Alava, Guipuscoa, Alicante, Gra nada, Malaga, and Huelva, in all 11 provinces. We do not as yet know the result o f the elections at Guadalaxara, Cu enca, Segovia, Valladolid, Huesca, Teruel, Barcelona, Ge rona, Tarragona, Lerida, Castellon, Badajez, or the B mlearic and Canary Islands, but it is not too much to expect that one half of them will vote in favour of the moderote darty. Amongst the new members of the Cortes are to be found Count Toreno, Martinez de la Rosa, Galiano, Barrio Ayuso (Minister of Grace and Justice in the Isturiz Administration), the Duke of Gor, Senor Lopez Ballesteros (Minister of Fiv nance during the Calomarde regime), the Duke of Rivas, Senor Rivaherrera, General Quit oga, and several bishops who were proceres under the royal statute.

The Carlists themselves appear to enter tam but little hope that the place ‘sdl he able to hold out against ORAA, whose movements are guided by superior military talents, and who, of all the QUEEN'S Generals, appears the most in earnest in his prosecu tion of the war. ORAA has committed many gross blunders, but after all, he is the only Christina officer of whom Don CAA really afraid.. Were he joined in the. command of the army of the North by Brigather.General NA it VA EZ, the affairs-of the Penin sula would quickly assume a mare favourable aspect. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been all received, We learn from one of them that t h e di s pat c hes of the French Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersbnrgh have lately assumed such im portance in the Council that the Elections are par tially forgotten. M. DI/BA RA NTE, according to these Journals, has repeatedly complained to the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs of the coldness, amounting al most to studied contempt, with which he is treated by the Imperial Cabinet : and that to such a pitch has this insolent bearing towards him been carried within the last few weeks, that he can no longer tolerate it, and, therefore, begs to be instantly re-called. This statement is, perhaps, too highly coloured. Though it is quite true that the ENT PERoft is dissatisfied with the matrimonial alliances entered into by the House of ORLEANS ; nevertheless, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY iS too sagacious not to be aware that to break with France at the peseta juncture would accelerate the downfall of Carlism in the Peninsula. There is no intelligence of much importance from Africa. It is asserted that the Bey of TUNIS died of poison. The following extract from a private letter includes all that is to be found in the journals : " fioNA, 1-M.—General Bro was about to leave this night for Med el Ammar, on the road to Constantine, with a weak escort of twenty men. But the general thought better of it, learning that a band of at least three thousand Arabs were ho vering on the road. To-night, however,.orders have been given, and General Bro does set out with all the remaining force, the militia doing the service at Bona. The outskirts of the line is harassed with Arabs; three of them were killed yesterday, one taken and shot. Four Arabs, who came with news, have been locked up, and prevented from communi cating. " An officer who accompanied the Prince of Joinville writes that the rain had commenced on the Bth, falling in torrents, that the mud was tremendous, and the difficulty of getting on the provision carts proportionate. " A letter front Tunis says the French system prevailed, after the death of the Bey, solely through the presence of the French fleet. But for that the conspirators, instead of allow ing his son to succeed him, would have given the post of Bey to one devoted to the Porte." TRIERS is said to have returned from Italy with opinions considerably modified. According to one account, be considers a French intervention no longer suitable - to the progress of events in Spain. Were this true, we would only conclude therefrom that TIIIERS wants to taste afresh the sweets of office—of which no Minister of his standing ever sipped more plentifully. The following are extracts " The following is the explanation given in a letter from Naples, received at Toulon, of what passed on the appearance of the French squadron : " < When the ships of Admiral Lalande appeared in our road, the Government feared that the sight of the tricoloured flag might excite a sedition, and it sent gunners into the forts. Such is now the situation of the absolute governments. The ships were not admitted to free pragque.'" We receive this moment news from Toulon of the 17th. Another steam-boat, the Cerbere, had arrived that day, and did not bring any confirmation of the news so generally spread, and which had caused such great satisfaction. " A few letters had arrived (says our correspondent) ; the most recent are of the 14th, arid all that was known at Bona at that time was that the siege continued. " Many reports are in circulation; but they appear to be without foundation, and I do not repeat them. " The Etna steamboat, Captain Laurencin, left yesterday for Bona and Algiers with the mail and passengers." A letter from Algiers of the 10th October, which we have received, says " All is tranquil, but we have not yet been able to take possession of the territory ceded to us. The Emir, instead of concluding every thing when he was near us, has suddenly departed, for what reason is not known. We dare not venture into the plain, and far from the camps ; and this state of things paralyses all business ; and while the merchants of Oran can go into the interior to conclude their bargains, we are confined to the city, and obliged to submit to the terms of the Arabs who come to our markets."--Le Commerce.

The past week's arrivals of all kinds of Grain were moderate, and the return of Flour was also middling. The trade throughout the week for most articles was certainly not lower than last Monday. This morning the fresh supplies of Wheat and Oats are again moderate; of Barley, Beans, and Pease, the quantities are good. In consequence of a bet ter de mand for Wheat, partly from country buyers, the best parcels obtained an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. on the terms of this day se'nnight, and other qualities fully maintained their former quotations. Barley of fine quality sold readily at a little im• provement in value—other sorts met sales with much difficulty. Beans are unaltered. Bailing Peas are 2s. per quarter, and Grey Peas ls. per quarter lower. There is some firmness in the Oat trade to-day at the terms last quoted. Flour expe riences a dull sale, but the Millers are unwilling to alter the top price, and ship parcels are not lower than last Monday. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

The acceptance of the tender which was n:.de by , defendants in the words of the advertisement was dated O c t . 20th of October, and it only remained to settle the pattern °a the chairs, some railway Companies using one description, a" others a ditivrent pattern.
