PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our attention has been directed to a pamphlet just published by Ridgway, entitled " The policy of England towards Spain." Professing to be a cursory examination of the chapter on the Basque provinces in Lord Carnarvon's work on Portugal and Galicia, it is, in fact, a most able and searching analysis of the entire Spanish question. It is a most valuable contribution, at such a moment, to the information we possess upon the subject, and should be read, attentively read and considered, by every man who desires to arrive at a correct and impartial conclusion upon the progress and present position of affairs in the Peninsula. how ever desirous we may be, our space will not permit us to accompany the writer through his examination of this important question. We the less regrGt this, as we shall doubtless be compelled to revei't to the sub ject, when we shall be able to make a more advanta geous use of the information and- the reasoning of this able writer. For the present we confine ourselves to one topic, upon which no doubt a good deal of stress will be laid by such " moderate" men as Lyndhurst and Mahon in the opposition which is to be given to the foreign policy of his Ma jesty's Government. France justified her abandon ment of the Quadruple Treaty, by referring to the re volution of La Granja. It was the subject of disapproba tion with the King, of severe censure with his Minis ters, of the most violent invectives with the Govern ment press. France, or rather its concentrated Go vernment, was applauded, while England was censured —the one because it forsook, the other because it con tinued to aid the system, created by the Revolution. What justice is there in such proceeding? What pro. duced the events of La Granja ? We agree with the writer before us, that the mortent the French frontier is effectually closed, the civil war is at an end. The Government of Louis Philippe has been feeding the rebellion for the last three years, whether through' fear or duplicity matters not. The fact is so. The conti nuance of the civil war drove the people in their exas peration to the desperate remedy of a revolution ; and for that revolution, if it be an evil, France is hersel responsible " Every step onwards in Revolution in Spain," says tee author of this pamphlet, "has been caused by the civil, -war alone." " Changes of Government effected by : no i sy brawlers were sanctioned by the nation, in the lneoeie that new men might bririg with them new vigour, ar e( ) put an crol to a state of things Which Which bad become intolerable. If Zee bad crushed the war in its birth, Zea and Men lightened despotism would not have artinez de la Rona and the Estatuto Real were eercethrown by the military failures 'which occurred at tae latter period of his Administration. Mendizabal -"lt'd have continued Prime Minister of Spain if be had been able to fulfil his promises of terminating the struggle ; and-the cry of the Constitution put an end to the calamitous Government of Isturitz, chiefly because that Government, beyond all pre ceding ones, was distiTruished by military reverses." This is the troe cause of the instability of each suc cessive Government in Spain, and we confess we can not see in it anything to excite either censure or sur prise. Those who may be preparing their declamations on this inviting subject, will do well to throw their eye over the brief history of the progress of events since the outbreak of that revolution which they so much condemn. Let them fairly examine the conduct of the Spanish people, even at the moment of their highest excitement ; and they will agree, we think, with the author of these pages, that " there is not another people in Europe who, under such try ing circumstances, would - have exhibited such mode ration." But our present purpose is not so much to consider the cause of that revoluticin, or the conduct of the people during its rapid accomplishment, as the 'effects it has produced upon the cause of moderate and weil-ordeeed Government in Spain. Let it, then, be decided - which was the wiser and the more honourable policy—to abandon Spain in the moment of its greatest difficulty—difreedtv not altogether of its own creation, or to adhere to the engagements upon which we had entered, and enjoy the proud triumph of being the chief instrument of giving peace to that distracted and, by the establishment of a Constitutional Govern ment. The writer, whose work we have been coneie tiering, very truly observes, that " the British Govern ment never has, and never could have, supported a democratic party in Spain. Their object and their interest was to uphold moderate men, and to esta blish a moderate system capable of regulating the progress of improvement in the Peninsula. At the time of Ferdinand's death there was every pro spect of the experiment being attended with suc cess. Those prospects have since been as vari able in their aspect as the military events upon which they became dependent. The chances of success never have been, and are not now extin guished ; but we affirm, that had they been incom parably less than they were, England adopted the most judicious course upon the death of the King ; and had the chances of success become since that time incomparably worse than they have, it would have been mean and ungenerous, and therefore unwise, for England to have withdrawn her support from her ally, or to have shrunk from the consequences of her own act." That our policy was generous, and, therefore, wise, no man who is not steeped to the lips in party prejudice will deriy That it has been successful the present position: of affairs in Spain incontestably proves. Our co-operation has secured the triumph, the decisive triumph, of the Queen's arms in the north, while the influence which our conduct gave us at Madrid has,•if not caused, materially contributed to the moderate and constitutional progress of the Go vernment that was called into existence by the Revo lution. Look at- the conduct of the " democratic" Cortes, and find a parallel to its moderation and it wisdom in the proceedings of any legislative assembly in the world. Did . England err in judg ment when she refused to abandon that Govern ment in its hour of trouble ? What have the Cortes done to justify the invectives hurled against them by the faithless, though profes sing, friends, who first betray and then ca lumniate ? Look at their votes upon the Regency ; upon the restrictive measures demanded by the Minis ter; upon the various modifications proposed in the Constitution ; look, in fact, to_ every measure that has emanated from them since they were called together. Turning from this gratifying progress of constitutional - legislation at Madrid, see the altered aspect of the war. The victory of Iribarren is followed by the capture of the Cerlist stronghold in Aragon—Cantavieja—the utter defeat of Maroto in Catalonia—then there was the disastrous expedition of Sanz to Galicia, and the ruinous excursion of Gomez to the south : " The expedition of Gomez," the writer before us justly observes, " has proved that whenever the Queen's Gene rals really chose to look for and attack the Carlists, they will always find and beat them ; for Gomez, with 12,000, was met and completely routed by Narvaez with 4,000. That expedition further proves, that either there exists no sympathy for Don Carlos in the greater part of Spain, or else that the party favourable to his pretensions, is too timid or insignificant to show itself. Except in one or two insignificant places, not a manifestation ,was made in favour of Don Carlos, and in those places order was in stantly restored, upon the return of the local authorities to their functions. In the retreat of Gomez, as well as in that of Cabrera, the Carlists were harassed on all sides by the peasantry, and the stragglers were hunted down and killed like wild beasts. In Galicia, the Asturias; Leon, Castile, Aragon, Valencia, Andalusia, Estremadura, Mur cia, and La Mancha—in short, in nearly the whole of Spain which has been traversed by Gomez, it is mani fest that the people are not disposed to take pal with Don Carlos." The last and most decisive proof of the power of the Constitutional cause, and the weakness of the Pre tender, is furnished in the raising of the siege of Bil 1-ma. Such is a compressed epitome of the - course of events, legislative and military, since the revolution of La Granja, some of which England has produced, in all of which, to her credit, she has participated. Have the events justified her conduct or not ? We can under stand the objection of those whose feelings and whose interests are bound up with the success of Don Carlos as the representative of that despotic principle which they are endeavouring to establish in England. But may we ask those who agree with us in think ing—and they are the vast majority of the people of England—that it is our interest, as it is our wish, to srea Constitutional Government established in Spain, Is hat course would they prescribe to the King's Minis ters other than that which they have adopted ? They should have either gone further or remained absolutely neuter. The latter they could not have done. They dared not. Were Peel and his party inflicted upon the country by the division of to-morrow night, would they dare to call back our ships from the Spanish 'coast, or carry back our arms from the Spanish arsenal ? Lord Lyndhurst may flatter a Doctrinaire coterie in the salons of Paris by the anticipation of such a policy ; but he knows that no Minister of the King of Eng- land dare adopt it. This country cannot look on an indifferent spectator of the progress of a contest in which she has so much at stake as in the Peninsula. Bound to interfere, it is the highest eulogium of her Government that their object is accomplished at the least possible expenditure of blood and treasure. — Morning Chronicle. A prospectus of the King's speech is given from authority in a weekly paper. It contains, as is usual. with the Whigs, a solemn specification of the measures to be brought forward by the Melbourne Cabinet dur ing the session, in the confidence that they wall never pass into laws, but with the generous hoixt that the kind-hearted people of England wily exact from Ministers of the Crown no duty beycald that of mak ing abortive propositions to Parliament, and from the Legislature nothing save intermierable speeches, both being consistent with the retention of large salaries by men in office, who leave behind them no visible re cord of their services but the receipt of each quarter clay. It appears that the dead-lock" system is not to be abandoned ; that wee are to have the same sham catalogue of wooden-basked books as in elle former session ; the same pa w'ted battery of Quaker guns as have bristled from bowning-street since Lord Mel bourne made prize eel that important citadel ; a mock municipal bill for 'lreland ; a mock stability bill for the Irish church ; 7 0111 of pains and penalties for famished Irishmen, unehr r the name of a poor law ; a bill of dilapidation for the churches of England, under the plea of . prretecting Dissenters from a church - rate ; a bill of nstlemnito to Lord Viscount Cupid, for the appalling murders he has committed in Spain, and for the lawless outrages which his contemptible policy bras, entailed on the national flag of England in the east of Europe. It is just possible that the minority of English members who give a discreditable support to the Whig Ministers may be so reinforced by Popis h enemies to the name of England, as to obtain for Ministers a scanty majority in one House of Parlia ment in favour of even their most ruinous and dis graceful acts. But we prophesy that the day of retribution approaches. The Conservatives of Eng land will stand by their colours. They will not suf fer the Protestant clergy to be starved. They will not suffer 'Protestant corporations to be superseded by a Popish monopoly of similar powers. They will not suffer a factitious poor law to be palmed upon the Irish peasant as a measure of re lief and consolation. They will not hear of permit ting the sacred edifices of England to be dilapidated, as a sop to the seditious minority of the Dissenters. They will not spread a mantle of grace or oblivion, much less of public recompense and distinction, over the dishonoured shoulders of Lord Palmerston, for the bloOd of an unoffending people, which he has com pelled the brave soldiers of Great Britain to spill on the neutral soil of Spain ; nor will the Conservatives, who are in this case the whole British nation, see without just resentment an imbecile Minister involve the reputation of their warlike and victorious country in the shame of having her flag wantonly insulted, or the commercial rights and interests of her subjects violated, by an aggressive Power which for a series of years has been trying experiments on the forbearance of Great Britain. But we shall know something more of all this before to-morrow night.—Times. To us who were among the first to inculcate, as we have been among the most zealous and unremitting in endeavouring to promote union among all classes of Reformers, it must be no small satisfaction to sec our advice and exertions seconded by so veteran and able. an auxiliary in the cause of Reform as the F.din burgh Review. In the nuluber just published there is an article under the head of " The Approaching Ses sion of Parliament," is which the writer urges, in ener getic language, a close and cordial union among all grades of the Liberals, as essential to the very exist ence of a party which can act even as a check on the Tory faction. He shows, as we have repeatedly don:: before, that the necessary consequence of a split among the Reformers would not only he the overthrow of the Melbourne Ministry—but the return of the Conserva tives to power. We would deeply regret—as we know the country would deeply regret—the dissolution of the present Government, at a time when they are straining every nerve to cairy into effect measures of vital moment to the community. But, great as would he that calamity, that of the re,:mmption of office Lv the Tories would be still 1 7.i -eater. Have the handful of disaffected - Radicals who have of late been so busy on seeking ,to alienate the affections of the people from Lord Melbourne's Administration, and to interpose every possible obstacle to their successful prosecution of that course of policy which they deem most condu cive to the public interests—have these marplots, we say, ever snatched a moment from the time they devote to their destructive enterprises, to ask themselves what will be inevitable results of the accession of a Tory AFnistry at the present juncture ? The first of these would bea civil war in Ireland ; and the next, the ob struction of all measures of reform in this country. h o Edinburgh Reviewer forcibly calls the attention of the Tory Radicals to these frightful circumstances, as the inevitable consequences of a successful pursuit of their present line of conduct. The Reviewer then admonishes them in terms which are almost word for word such as we ourselves employed ten or twelve days since, that in the event of a disunion taking place among Reformers, and a Tory Government being the result, they will be held responsible by the country for the consequences which may follow. The writer, in conclusion, glances at the certain effects which are sure to follow the continued resistance of the Peers to liberal and enlightened measures. We quote the pas sage with much pleasure : " On the other hand, let us take the more pleasing and probable alternative, and suppose that such a majority of the Radicals remains faithful to the present Government as will enable it to carry on the public service in the House of Commons. In this ease it is high time for the House of Lords to be upon its guard. It is as its friends that we say so. We beseech it to look to the dangers which it will accumulate upon itself, and upon the Constitution, by intemperate perseverance in the spirit and conduct which it has recently displayed. To our minds, it is clear as the sun at noon, that it is vain to think of go verning Ireland in peace, prosperity, and honour, except Ireland be governed on the same principles of common sense, equality, and justice, both in Church and State, which have succeeded so well, and which alone could by possi bility have succeeded, in the kindred realms of England and Scotland. To take issue on the distinction between Roman Catholic and Protestant communities, they may rest assured, will never do. If the House of Lords continue to recognise Lord Lyndhurst for their leader, the House of Lords by so doing proclaims itself the enemy of the Irish people—that people whom he has de nounced aliens in blood, language, and religion. If the House of Lords persist to keep itself, whether under the same or any guidance, in an attitude of hostility to a popu larly elected House of Commons, it will soon become ut terly impossible for those who are, and wish to continue warm friends of the i ns tit u ti on , success f u lly t o defend it. A determined severance of itself from the common inte rests of the State, on the part of any one of its constituent Members, can only end in revolution. In whatever form, and from whatever quarter it may come, such a revolution will be much more extensive and much more fatal than any thing comprised in the complete establishment of all the hundred organic changes which the most fertile Radical in vention has hitherto devised." This is a passage which we specially commend to the attention of the Tory Lords. If they are wise for themselves—putting tire interests of the country out of the question—they will adopt the salutary counsel here tendered to them. Whether they will do so or not is a question which a few weeks will suffice to de cide. If they do not alter their course before a month or two elapse, they may then find it will be too late.— Morning Advertiser. The typhus or malignant fever, attended with a sore throat, is very prevalent in Chesterfield and its neighbour hood.

THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 30 s 1837. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT O.P KING'S BENCH, JAN. 28. 4PENCE2t V. NEWTON. Sir F. POLLOCK Showed cause against a rule obtained during the week by the, Attorney-General, calling on the plaintiff to show (muse •why the defendant should not be discharged out of the , :ustody of the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison. The facts of the case have already ap peared. The Learned Counsel, in showing cause, contended that the rule could not be sustained, on the ground upon which it was moved for, namely, that Mr. Newton was exempt from arrest on the score of being privileged in con sequence of the postronement of the hearing before the arbitrator. . Mr. KELLY also s bowed cause on the part of Mr. Lane, 6 who bad sued out a easel against Mr. Newton. The ATTORNEY-.GENERAL addressed the Court in p port of the rule. The COURT was of opinion that the privilege could not be considered to extend from the 7th to the 16th of Jan. The rule must therefore be discharged.—Rule discharged accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, .1.4 x. 28. POWER. V. HORTON. This was an action to recover 13/. odd, the balance of a builder's account, in which a verdict had been found for the plaintiff, damages 5/. 6s. ld., and a rule for a new trial had been obtained on behalf of defendant, on the ground that the deputy sheriff, before-whom the case was tried, had in terrupted the defendant's attorney in the course of his cross examination of the witnesses as to the various items in the account, which were exceedingly numerous. - The rule had been obtained upon an affidavit from the attorney to that effect, and stating that if he had been allowed to pro ceed, he would have been able to reduce many of the said items.—Rule discharged. RYAN V. STACRPOOLE. This was an action on a quantum MC: lilt for work and labour done by the plaintiff in the service of the defendant. The circumstances of the ease have been frequently before the public ; and it will be remembered that the action arises out of a claim to the extent of 100,0001., confirmed by a decision of the House of Lords, which the present de fendant had upon property in the possession of Count Stack poole, and which the plaintiff was employed to enforce ; that for that purpose he proceeded to Paris in 1819 ; but was in about six months thrown int& the prison of St. Pelagic for debt, having, however, previously obtained, through a letter from Lord Castlereagh, several interviews on the subject with Sir Charles Stewart, then British Ambassador at Paris ; that whilst he was there he introduced to the defendant a person named Le Gros, who undertook to prosecute the claim, and with whom a contract was entered into, that - in case of his prosecuting it successfully he should receive 14,0001. M. Dupin, Baron Patier, and other parties also subsequently interfered, and finally in March, 1824, a de cree in favour of the defendant was obtained. The agree ment with Le Gros was litigated by the defendant, but fi nally established by the French Court, and the right of the plaintiff to compensation was referred to the determination of the Judges in this country. An action was accordingly brought in this Court, and a verdict obtained f0r,1,5001., and the object of the present application was to set aside that verdict. The question which arose between the parties was mainly as to the nature of the agreement under which Mr. Ryan first proceeded to Paris. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and Mr. 13AnsTow were heard on Thursday against the rule, and Mr. Sergeant WILDE in support of it. Mr. KELLY appeared this morning on the same side with Mr. Sergeant Wilde. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Court were very desirous that the.partics should free them froni the necessity either of violating a general rule or perhaps in flicting some hardship. if they would only appoint some gentlemen of experience and discretion to undertake the investigation of the matter, the justice of the case might be completely satisfied. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 28. WALLIS V. DAY AND ANOTHER. This was an action of covenant to recover the arrears of a weekly allowance of 21. Ss. 10d. The plaintiff formerly carried on on his own account, the trade of a carrier be tween London and St. Ives. He subsequently made an agreement with the defendants to give up to them the be nefit of his. name and customers. The action was brought open a deed by which - the defendants covenanted with plaintiff to pay him this weekly sum for the space of 13 years, and a diminished allowance for the rest of his life, in cnn sidcration among other things, of the plaintiff covenanting that he would not, either bylnmself ir any in his name or on his account, exercise or carry Oh the trade of a carrier in any part of England, during the term of his natural life, and that he would serve them faithfully during his file. A demurrer was taken to this declaration, on the ground that ,the covenant was void, being granted upon a conside ration which was illegal, being in .restraint of trade, and against public policy. Lord ABINGER Said there is in this case adequate and sufficient consideration for the contract, which is good, and there must, therefore, be judgment for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA NS I ON-HOUSE. On Saturday a man of respectable appearance, named Robert Featherstone Gleathcad, was brought b fore the Lout) Ms or. for final examination, by Sergeant Mealy, of the City police, charged with having procured samples of wine by means of forged warrants. The prisoner, who referred to his long-established repu tation for integrity, and declared that he had committed no effence, was fully committed for trial. B OW- STREET. James Hance, who, it will he recollected, was brought to this office on Saturday week on a charge of conspiring, with another ,person not in custody, to obtain from Ensign Honeywood; of the 88th regiment, three blank stamps, with intent to convert them into bills of exchange, and to cheat and defraud him of the sums for which they should be drawn, was brought up for re-examination, and ordered to be brought up on Tuesday, when he will he finally com mitted. Henry Livingstone, Sarah Liu°, William Hutting, and Charles ifilliams were brought for re-examination, charged on suspicion of being concerned in an extensive burglary in the house of Mr. William Cordwell, a pawnbroker, re siding at No. 31, Compton-street, Brunswick-square, on the 21st of February, 1886. Evidence was adduced in support of the charge, and Mr. MiNstiem. expressed his opinion that the case was so far supported against Livingstone and Ligo as to authorise him in committing them for trial on this second charge. The evidence against. Williams and , Hutting not being conclu sive, they must be discharged. . • " • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Sarah and Emma Hulford, and their mother,. Mary were put to the bar, the two girls charged with having stolen, and the mother with having received, a quantity of property belonging to Madame Caroline Echon, of 29, Ma rylebone-strcet. The evidence in many points being incomplete against the mother and Emma they were released, and Sarah was fully committed. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Friday J. Beadle, an old pensioner, who bad fought at Waterloo, but who is at present a supernumerary at Drury-lane Theatre, was charged before Messrs. GREGO.. RIE and BURRELL, by James Blany, with " wringing his nose," at the Feathers, in Great Chapel Street, West minster. The complainant had been compelled to dismiss the de fendant from the Theatre for insubordination, and the latter thought proper to wring his nose in consequence of that cir cumstance. Mr. GREGORIE—You arc an actor, I suppose ? The complainant (who stood in a military attitude)—said that he was not, but that lie was a Sergeant of Supernume- rams. Mr. GREGORIE—What do you mean by that ?—The complainant explained to him that a certain number of men from the Guards were engaged at the rate of a shilling a shilling a night at Drury-Lane Theatre, to personate se nators and official authorities of every description. William Croft, of the Grenadier Guards, one of the parties engaged in the same p rofession, d eposed that the defendant had called Mr. B l a n y a --- rogue, but this he thought only a joke until he saw the defendant drag him round the bar by the nose , and the n he thought the affair was becoming serious. Mr. GREGORIE asked the defendan t wh a t he could say to the charge ? Defendant —Wh y, your worship, he has cut me out of my business. MAGISTRATE—And what is your business? Defendant —Why, for seven years, your worship, I have sat on the stage as one of the " Council of ten," in Venice Prese:ved, and I have carried a banner with the immortal John Kbmble, when he played Macbeth, but this man (complainant) has always tried to-cut me out of my business. Mr. GREGORIE—Did you take him by the nose? De fendant—l did, your worship ; but I was exasperated. I have carried the Roman eagle before Mr. Kemble when he played Coriolanus, and this man's conduct to me has been so gross that I could not put up with it. The MAGISTRATE said that as he could net Aeny the assault in the present instance they were compelled to fine him 20s. and costs.—He was locked up in default. fine specimen of the Phucts furcatus, or forked hake, was caught in Mount's Bay a few days since. This fish seldom visits our coast, and then only in winter, when it probably comes to deposit its spawn.-4 Vest Briton, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.—The Madagascar, 42, Commander, Sir J. S. Peyton, arrived, with the Galatea, nt Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 9th of December. By the last accounts the Melville, 74, with the flag of Sir Peter Halkett, was at Bermuda. The Hercules, 74, Captain Berkeley, arrived frem Ply mouth on Monday, and sailed on Thursday for Sheerness, with the Royal Marines of the Thunderer on board, be longing to the Chatham division. She returned, however, to Spithead, owing to strong easterly winds, and with a large portion of her crew incapacitated from duty from the effects of the prevailing influenza, The Thunderer, 84 guns, Captain Wise, C. 8., will be paid off at Plymouth on Tuesday next. The influenza has prevailed to a great extent among her crew, or she would have been put into ordinary some days since. Ships at Plymouth—Royal Adelaide, Thunderer, San Josef, Corn wallis, Inconstant, Stag,Trinculo, Scylla, Savage, and Rhada manthus. The Savage was to go into the Sound yesterday ; and the Stag frigate will - follow in the course of next week. The Beagle surveying ship, lately returned from the South Seas, after a surveying expedition which lasted five years, is now fitting out at Woolwich for a voyage to Torres Straits and the north-western coast of Australia, where she will proceed in the course of a few weeks, under the com mand of Lieut. Wickham. The land expedition, consisting of Lieutenants Gray and Lushington, of the army, and Mr. Porrer, as surgeon and naturalist, will proceed in the vessel to their destination—the Swan River, where they will receive the aid of troops from Captain Stirling, the go vernor, to prosecute their researches in the interior. The /Etna and Raven, surveying vessels, arrived at Sierra Leone, from Gibraltar, on the 19th of November. The Pearl, 20, returned to Lisbon on the 7th inst., from a two months' cruise off Madeira. The Wasp, 18, left Ja• maica for Carthagena, on the 23d of November ; and the Forte, 42, for Vera Cruz, on the 30th. .Both these ves sels may be daily expected in England, with specie on board.

A few days since the Camelion revenue cruiser, Lieut. J. H. Helby, captured and took into Weymouth the Ed ward, French smuggling cutter, of 40 tons, with a crew of "seven Frenchmen and one Englishman, and a cargo of fifty. one tub S -of foreign spirits. The Edward is an exceedingly fine vessel, nearly new, and sails well. During a chase of several hours she made every exertion to escape, but she had more than her match in the superior sailing qualities of the Camelion, which vessel was lately built by Mr. Thomas Inman, of Lymington. On Wednesday last, the Ferona sloop, of 120 tons bur then, bound to London, ran on shore on the rocks called Atherficld Lcdge, Isle of Wight, when, by the great exer tions of Lieut.

MANuELLA, A TA I.> MADUID.—A story under this title, of the most absorbing interest, and includ ing disclosures of a remarkable nature, relative to the secret machinations out of which has arisen the existing civil war in Spain, has just appeared, from the pen of an eminent English author, who has recently returned from a long residence in Madrid. The writer, though neither a partisan of the Carlists nor Christinos, was placed in the most favourable position for acquiring intelligence known to but a few ; and as the facts thuS elicited are of a highly romantic nature he has embodied them in a work of fiction, which, for intense interest and singular development of cha racter, will yield to no production of the kind in our language. AMERICAN Boys.—" An American of ten or twelve years of age is as much of a young man as an European at sixteen and when arrived at that age, he is as useful in business, and as much to be relied on, as a German at twenty-four, or a Frenchman at fifty. Some thing similar to it may also be found in England.; but, neither climate nor education promote it to the same ex tent as in America. From the earliest period of his life a young American is accustomed to rely upon himself as the principal artificer of his fortune. Whatever he learns or studies is with a view to future application, and the moment he leaves school he immerses into active life. His reputation, from the time he is able to think, is the object of his most anxious care, as it must affect his future standing in society, and increase the sphere of his usefulness,"—Grund's Americans, in their Social, ,Moral, and Political Condition. AMERICAN STEAM-BOATS, CANALS, RAIL ROADS, &c.—" In the year 1831, there were on the Western waters alone, 198 steam-boats running. The number of miles of canals in the United States completed on the Ist January, 1835, and which would not long after be com pleted, is estimated at 2,864, and their coast at 1 2, 2 14,6 20 1. ster li n g. The extent of railroads was nearly 700 miles, without including any of the large projected schemes for extending them to the west, and connecting the southern states with those of the east and north. These, however, have already been partially carried into execution ; and it is expected that in less than 20 years a traveller in the United States will be able to traverse the country from the western extremity to the shores of the Atlantic, and from the borders of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, without being once obliged to slacken his speed, or to exchange a locomotive car or a steam-boat for the less expeditious mode of a carriage drawn by horses."—Giund's Americans, in their Social, Moral, and Political Condition. Williams, the convict, who is now in Chester Castle, under sentence of transportation for life, for strip ping and ill-using a girl on the walls, has been concocting, with another felon, of the name of Bootle, a plan to escape from prison. Williams had procured a broom handle, out of which he had, with some pieces of iron, m anufactured a most terrific weapon. Bootle was to ring the night-bell, and on the arrival of the turnkey they were to rush on him and murder him, then secure the keys, and liberate themselves. A man who had been committed for want of sureties overheard the plan communicated, and by that means saved the turnkey's life. The miscreant was heavily ironed and handcuffed, and, after a search, the weapon was found secreted in the nightroom. On Williams being charged with his intention he most impudently avowed it.—Chester Chronicle. The parish of Clerkenwell, in consequence of the alarming disease and distress caused by the influenza, have raised a subscription for the relief of the poor, and we are happy to state it is rapidly increasing, and food and medical attendance have been procured. Yesterday the parish officers visited the abodes of those afflicted, and rendered necessary relief. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday, Jan. 28.) TRADE OF LEEDS.—The quantity of goods sold at the cloth halls was much the same on Saturday as during the last few weeks ; but on Tuesday there was an unusually small number of manufacturers and buyers at the market, and from the very dull state of the atmosphere during the time the market was held, very little business was done. In the warehouses there has also been less business done this week than last : it being so near the close of the month, few of the wholesale buyers have been in the market. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 24.—We have no change to report in the state of this market. BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. 26.—The general opinion is that no improvement has taken :place in the piece market to-day, though some say that more goods have been sold. There is an evident caution on the part of buyers. The yarn market continues the same as quoted last week. There is no material variation in the wool market. Busi ness is dull, and some sorts may be bought a shade lower. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JAN. 23.--There has been very little business done in flannels to-day ; those of the middle quality have been most in demand, and even of these but comparatively few have been sold. Prices have undergone no variation since the last market. Wool still keeps up its price, and manufacturers arc unwilling to pur chase only for present use. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 27.—We have not had that active inquiry for combing wools that has existed for the previous two months, and we can report but few transactions in them this week. In blanket and clothing ' wools there is a steady, but by no means extensive, demand. By a letter, received on Friday, from Berlin, we learn la the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland and seventeen of their household are suffering from the epidemic raging in the Prussian capital. It also states, that upwards of 50,000 inhabitants of Berlin and its suburbs are confined to their rooms by the serious visitation. The Duke of Cum berland, who, for many Sessions past, has always been pre sent at the meeting of Parliament, will not return to Eng land for a mouth or six weeks. A correspondent of Le Volcur says, that Mr. Green's Balloon is not, as professed, the largest ever con structed, for that in which the Duke de Chartres ascended in 1783 was fifty feet (French) in diameter, and that Mr. Green's balloon is only 49 English feet in diameter ; that Messrs. Mialan and Janavet constructed a balloon in 1784, in which ❑ine persons ascended, and which also carried bal last that Selim ()gat, the first Turkish aeronaut, ascended at Smyrna, in 1825, in a balloon of 110 feet in circumfe rence, and that the balloon in which M. Lennox ascended in 1832, was capable of containing 60,000 cubic feet of gas, and was filled with pure hydrogen gas. The writer proceeds to contend that although the use of carboretted hydrogen gas is not se expensive, and is more convenient, yet that it requires a balloon of larger dimensions. Another objection urged is, that the maximum height which Mr. Green could attain, even if alone, would be about 5,500 metres (about a league and a half ), and, of course, the as cending power would be less, if he carried several persons with him ; that carburretted hydrogen gas only differs from pure hydrogen gas by being less effective. He enumerates several other defects in Mr. Green's general process : and in conclusion he observes, that there is nothing either use ful or new about his balloon, and that Mr. Green's alleged discoveries respecting currents of air are entirely French discoveries. - A little boy, only nine years old, the son of Mr. Alfred Davis, of Bromham, on Saturday week, by some means obtained -an empty pistol, which he loaded heavily, and discharged the contents through his head, blowing his skull to pieces.—Cheltcnhant Gazette. On Thursday night a party of poachers were in the preserves of Sir T. Winnington, Bart., of Stanford Court, when the keepers and some of the domestics went in pur suit ; after remonstrating with them on the dishonesty of their proceedings, one of the miscreants deliberately turned round, presented his gun at and shot one of the under keepers through the body. The poor fellow is not yet dead, but his disease is hoUrly expected. The poachers then made their escape, but left their hats in the wood, which it is expected will lead to their detection.—Woreester Journal. AMERICAN LOVE OF OCCUPATION.—There is probably no people on earth with whom business constitutes pleasure, and industry amusement, in an equal degree with the inhabitants of the United States of America. Active occupation is not only the principal source of their happi ness, and the foundation of their national greatness, but th•ey are absolutely wretched without it ; and instead of the " dolce far menus," know but the horrors of idleness. Business is the very soul of an American ; he pursues it, not as a means of procuring for himself and his family the necessary comforts of life, but as the fountain of all human felicity. From the earliest hour in the morning until late at night, the streets are thronged by men of all trades and professions, each following his vocation like a perpeluitin mobile, as if he never dreamed of a cessation from labour, or the possibility of becoming fatigued. Neither is this hurry of business confined to the. large cities, it communi cates itself to every village and hamlet, and extends to and penetrates 'the 'Western forests. It is as if all America were but one g igantic workshop, over the entrance of which there is the blazing inscription, " .No admission here except on business."—Cirvilds Americans, in their Social, Moral, and Political Condition. On Sunday morning a poacher, named Smith, was shot. by his own gun in Brafferton Spring Wood, near Bo roughbridge. He had been loading his gun, and while striking the butt against the ground, for the purpose of forcing the powder into the nipple, the piece went off, and lodged the contents in his head, blowing the skull to atoms. On Tuesday a fire broke out in the tar-manufactory at Wincolmlec, which burnt the still-house to the ground. One of the workmen, named Wilkinson, was drawing out the bung of the still, when his foot slipping he fell in amongst the boiling pitch. Another man immediately res cued him from his horrible situation ; in doing which, be set ligamhtes The p to the pitch, is am a l th i e ns b n u re il d. di_ng .u ‘ i v i a ll s p im ac mz e d t. iately in fl.

At East Brent, on Sunday week, as the Rev. Mr. Rocket was performing the burial service, and reading that beautiful passage, " Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust," Joseph Day, the sexton, while in the act of sprinkling the earth upon the coffin, dropped at the side of the grave and immediately expired. The Clergyman's son, a surgeon, at tempted to bleed him, but it was perfectly useless ; the vital stream had ceased to flow. The deceased was 7G years old, and bad been sexton 20 years.—Bristul Paper. The body of the man who died suddenly a few days since, waiting for a Greenwich stage in Gracechurch street, and which was taken to Allhallows Church, was bu ried, after remaining there three days, and proved to be that of Pemberton, whose evidence tended principally to the conviction of Thistlewood and the Castle -street conspi rators. He resided at Woolwich on a pension granted to him by the Liverpool Administration for his services on that occasion. SHAMEFUL AND CRUEL FRAUD.—In conse quence of the late conviction of Mr. Pilbrow, the contrac tor for several workhouses in this county, before the Ma gistrates of the Deptford Bench, for using false weights, both in the purchase of his provisions, rind in the delivery of rations to the paupers, the former being overweight, and the latter considerably deficient, the Mayor and Guardians of this city determined to institute an examination of the weights employed by Mr. Pilbrow in the workhouse here, for which he is also the contractor. On examination of these weights, eight or nine of them were found deficient. The Magistrates ordered the weights to be sealed up in their presence; and issued a summons against Mr. Pilbrow to appear before them to answer the charge. The case was begun on Monday, and adjourned for further evidence.— Kent Herald. Tallowin, a pauper of the parish of Snettisham, was found lying in the night upon the road leading from Snettisham to Heacham, he having, it appears, no place of lodging. He was taken off the road and conveyed to some out-house as a temporary shelter, and on being removed from thence, he died very soon after. He was 74 years of age, and it appears that he had been for some time subsist ing upon the parish allowance of half a stone of bread per week, but had been destitute of the means of providing him self with a lodging. A coroner's inquest was held upon him on the 28th ult., when the verdict returned was, that lie came to firs death by the inclemency of the weather, and being put into nu improper place.".—Norfolk Citron. +cam_.. - - ~ --- ORICAL AN ORA E Sly. The -following very amusing scene took place the other day, at the Police Correctionelle, in Paris. Two men being placed at the bar, the case against them was thus stated : Wit nes s—l was going down the street St. Jaques, when I perceived a stranger leaning against the rails of the hos pital, rather the - worse for liquor. Two persons were so porting him one on the right and the other on the left. When they saw me they went. away suddenly. Here is a lovely scene, said I to myself ; here are two men performing the most sacred duties of holy morality, in affording assis tance to a nian incapable of taking care of himself. This pure reflection was, however, soon followed by the most sinister suspicions. In giving aid to the drunken individual perhaps the two strangers were about to rob him—an ac tion, gentlemen of the jury, altogether bad, a cowardly crime, destitute of dignity, for, as it has been observed in ancient history— President (interrupting)—Never mind ancient history, if you please. Witness—Very well, just as you please. To proceed. The notion often came across my mind that I was destined to play a great part ; and that, if any crime was about to be committed, it was to me that the glorious task was assigned of punishing the guilty, and saving the innocent. To con ceal myself behind a column was the action of a moment, for great men conceive great things at critical epochs. President—To the point —to the point, if you please. Witness—Very well, just as you please. Presently I beheld from the place of my concealment the two prisoners return, with villauous aspect, and, approaching the victim: of the rosy god of , wine, they commenced to pick his pockets. President, I was not alarmed, for I had two vigorous sons, the very picture of myself, with me. We rushed to the spot, and, animated by the most elevated thoughts for the protection of society and all men overwhelmed with wine, we seized the two robbers in the very act of mal-appropria tion. Every good citizen would have done the same, I ima gine ; for our beloved country, and the public at large, are equally interested in the safety of the streets of a capital, which is not only the centre of Europe, but the centre of civilization, and, as I think, the capital of the entire world. In the course which I pursued, I believe no blame can be attached to me for having taken upon myself, in conjunction with my.two vigorous sons, the very picture of myself, to repress crime, and to become the protector of an inoffensive drunkard. At all events, my conscience does not reproach me. President—Why should it ? On the contrary, much praise is due to you. Witness—That is just what I said to myself : nothinein the world ought to hinder an honest man from obeying the cry of conscience. President—Well, well! you have disclosed all you know —sit down. Witness—And to allow any personal motives to hinder me from acting would be to incur general disapprobation, 7or— President—Enough;Sir ; sit down. • Witness (continuing)—For the social wants require one to- President—Sit down. Witness—Afford mutual help, which— Presideat—Will you sit down ? Witness—Alone can be of real protection to "Citizens— President—Officer, make the witness resume his seat. Witness (speaking as he is led away by the officer) — Against the spoliatious of the nocturnal robbers— Officer (forcing the witness to his seat)—Come, come, we have had quite enough. • Witness (rising a minute or two afterwards)—Who in fest Paris. The witness having thus completed his oration, did not further interrupt the proceedings. INFLUENCE OF THE IMAGINATION.—The fol lowing is striking :—" The most melancholy record of the miseries of hypochondriacism is to be found in the diary of Dr. Walderstein, of Gottingen. He was a man much de formed in person, and his mind seemed as distorted as his body. Although of deep learning and research, and con vinced of the absurdity of his impressions, yet he was unable to resist their baneful influence. My misfortune, says the doctor, is, that I never exist in - this world, but rather in possible combinations created by my imagination to my con science. They occupy a large portion of my time, and my reason has not the power to banish them. My malady, in fact, is the faculty of extracting poison from every circum stance in life ; so- much so, that I often felt the most wretched being ,because I bad not been able to sneeze three times together. One night when 1 was in bed I felt a sud den fear of fire, and gradually became as much oppressed by .imaginary heat as though my room were in flames. While in this situation, a fire hell in the neighbourhood sounded, and added to my intense sufferings. I do not blush. at what inif , ht be called my superstition, any more than I should blush in acknowledging that my senses informed me that the earth does not move. My error forms the body of my judgrnent t and I thank God that he has given it a soul capable of correcting it. When I have been perfectly free from pain, as is not unfrequently the case when I am in bed, my sense of gratitude has not unfrequently brought tears of gratitude in my eyes. I once dreamt, adds Walderstein, that I was condemned to be burnt alive. I was very calm, and reasoned coolly during the execution of my sentence. Now,' I said to myself, lam burning, but not yet burnt; and by-and-by I shall be reduced to a cinder.' This was all I thought and I did nothing but think. When, upon waking-, I reflected upon my dream, I was by no means pleased with it, for I was afraid I should become all thought and no feeling.' It is strange that this fear of thought, assuming a corporal form in deep affliction, had occurred to our poet Rowe, when he exclaims, in the Fair Penitent,' Turn not to thought my brain.' 'What a fear. ful avowal from a reflecting and intelligent man ! Does it not illustrate Rousseau's definition of reason—the know ledge of our folly ? Last week a party of thirty persons, the majority of whom were not more than from ten to eighteen years of age, assembled at a respectable tavern in the precincts of Dudley, to partake of their Club Christmas dinner. The tit-bit" repast concluded, it was ascertained that the " small party" of, thirty had eaten 1201bs. of beef, 251bs. of spare-rib, 161bs. of mutton, a strike of potatoes (exclusive of an immense quantity of other vegetables), and a bounti ful supply of bread and sundries, too numerous to mention. —Ten Towns' Messenger.
