During the last two centuries a grand principle has been gaining ground amongst the civilised nations of the globe—a principle which has gradually in noculated the minds of the populace, has infused into them something of the more elevated ambition of philosophy, has imparted an astonishing impetus to intellectual enterprise, and is now rapidly tending to the improvement of our social condition, and facili tating the revelation of the secrets of nature. Ever since the unsound theories of ARISTOTLE were exploded, and the inductive and experimental system pro pounded instead, that mighty principle has been accu mulating to itself additional vigour, and its paramount claims upon the attention of man have been suc cessively recognised by one army of disciples after another. We mean the principle- that more enduring glory may be acquired, and more substan tial advantages achieved, by the extension of human knowledge than by any other earthly endeavour that the imagination of mankind can conceive. That glori ous principle, first germinated in the chamber of the philosopher, has been already disseminated to an astonishing extent among the multitude. The con quest of the difficulties of science, the fabrication of the masterpieces of art, the simplification of the abstruser studies, and the application of the various laws which regulate matter to our own use and ad vantage, are considered to be amongst the noblest objects for the attainment of which the human intel lect can strive ; and this, not merely by the mechanician, the astronomer, the chemist, or the ma thematician, but by agriculturists, merchants, and .civilians indiscriminately. The good seed sown by BACON and by DESCARTES have even now yielded harvest a hundredfold. The people see that in striving for the extension of knowledge they are not pursuing any beautiful illusion ; they see that while they are elevating their minds by the contemplation of the universe, and appeasing a delightful curiosity by analysing its portions, they are conferring practi cal benefits upon society, and satisfying many of our corporeal wants, The allurements of philosophy have proved themselves to be unlike the aerial music and the golden showers of CALIBAN : the most extrava gant visions have been realised by yielding to those allurements. All the incalculable advantages which may be con ferred upon mankind by the diffusion of knowledge may be, in some measure, estimated by the extraordinary blessings already derived from that source. Many eminent personages have been so impressed with the truth as to have devoted the energy of many years to the popularisation, as it may be called, of science generally. Lord BROUGHAM has fought that good fight in England. AL Anaco has done so in France; others have arisen in other countries who have en eavoured to emulate the conduct of their predecessors. Excellently, however, as such efforts are calculated to inform the people of the facts which have already been acquired, and to foster those germs of discovery which are lying dormant in so many quarters of the community, much remains to be done before the great crusade after knowledge can be ade quately commenced. It is not merely necessary to dis seminate the fruits which have been already culled, but it is necessary to sow fresh seed and to irrigate the soil anew, so that fresh fruit may be produced for future distribution. The facts already accumu lated by philosophy are marvellous enough, it i., true, but additional facts must be divulged and collected : the march of science has only just commenced. The source of all our discoveries and inventions must, therefore, be consulted, if we hope to obtain more of similar blessings : the national intellect must be kept in a healthful and constant state of activity, and this never can be done systematically, unless the most eminent of our philosophical minds are brought, periodically, into collision. From the interchange of thought consequent upon the assem blage of such men ; from their mutual collation of arguments and calculations; from the sub mission of the results of their several labours to the scrutiny of each other ; from their constant retrospec tion of what has already been accomplished, and from their constant survey of w hat still remains to be accomplished, most material advantages must neces sarily follow—the stores of philosophy must thereby be increased by the addition of new data— unexpected trains of ideas will be occasionally sug gested by this communion of intelligent and original minds—and those trains of ideas may ultimately lead to the detection of some of the great motors of matter. The secret of steam-power was not developed under half such propitious auspices—or the mystery of the compass—or the combination of lenses into a telescope—or the phenomena of electricity—or the venous and arterial circulation. The British Association, now assembled at South ampton, occupies, to our thinking, the eminent position which we have endeavoured to illustrate. It forms a kind of guarantee that human knowledge shall not re trograde ; it is a national stimulus to the national intel ligence of great Britain, and, by inference, to the in telligence of other countries. To our mind, it fulfils precisely the office which was so much wanted : it promotes science by that interchange of thought be tween contemporary philosophers which we have al ready particularised as so necessary. By deriding this Association, as some individuals are unfortunately accustomed to do, derision is cast indirectly upon such men as Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, Sir DAVID BREWSTER, Dr. BUCKLAND, Sir RODERICK MURCHI SON, LEONARD HORNER, Professor WHEATSTONE, and others, who by their illustrious efforts in the vineyard of knowledge have conferred so much that is valuable upon humanity, and have thereby entitled themselves to so much deference. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was formerly maligned as likely to generate a feeling of infidelity among the popula tion,—this outcry originated among the pharisees of religion, and if believed by its authors was clearly the result of a purblind bigotry. the British Association is taxed with being productive of no prac tical benefit to science,—that baseless aspersion can only originate in something akin to indifferentism as to the avowed objects of the Association. The discourse uttered yesterday evening by Sir RODERICK IMPET MURCHISON, the president for this year, was a magnificent retrospect of what has been already achieved through the instrumenta lity, under the immediate auspices, or at the sugges tion of the British Association. That eloquent and comprehensive discourse was a refutation—if any was really required—of the charges levelled at that emi nent body. It enumerated with a masterly per spicuity the deeds which had been done since the first establishment of the Association, —the geographical discoveries under Sir JAMES Ross ; the meteorological observations at the Royal Observatory of Kew ; the zoological researches of FORBES and OWEN ; the geological labours of its associates ; the monster telescope of Lord ROSSE ; the ichthyological works of Sir JOHN RICHARDSON ; the dynamical mathematics under ROBINSON, and the engineering of RENNIE. In proposing a vote of thanks to the eminent Professor who delivered that discourse, Lord PALMERSTON en larged in glowing and beautiful language upon the advantages as well as pleasures resulting from the cul tivation of scientific knowledge, and especially the ad vantages resulting from such societies as the British Association. To the noble and deserved eulogium passed upon that association by her .NIAJESTY'S Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, we refer the reader. It con denses into a few brief sentences the merits of its members and the beneficent consequences of its meetings. One beautiful sentiment uttered by the Noble Lord incidentally we cannot refrain from placing directly before our readers' attention. Re ferring to the contemplations and results of science, Lord PALMERSTON observed :--- " They are not only useful as conducing to the enjoy ment and to the prosperity. of mankind; but they must have a considerable and salutary effect on the minds of men, for is it possible that those who are in the enjoy ment of great and overweening prosperity must not be brought to feel a more proper sense of their position, when they see the utter insignificance of this globe as compared with the mighty universe, which the telescope of Lord Rosse unfolds to the eye? and is it possible, on the other hand, that those who, broken by misfor tune, are bowed down by affliction, should not find a source of resignation and of patience is that science by which they are more especially reminded of the great duration of time, and which shows the small period of time during which they are destined to suffer in this world, as so small and insignificant compared to the great eternity to which they belong, as is a grain of sand to the earth which they i nhabit, or that earth itself to the mighty universe of which it forms so small and insigni ficant a portion?" As calculated to disseminate these lofty considera tions, as well as to extend the scope of human intel ligence, we look with peculiar satisfaction on the an nual meetings of the British Association. The general half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the South-Eastern Railway Company took place on Thursday, when the directors presented the usual report respecting the state anti prospects of the com pany. The document was looked for with much anxiety, in order that the public might know under what pretences the managers would attempt to justify the late increase in the fares and charges for con veyance, and also whether they were prepared to brave the storm of public opinion, and to persevere in the unwise and injudicious course they had adopted, or gracefully to acknowledge their error, and make all the amends in their power for the mischief already done and the odium incurred. It was also hoped that in the event of a continuance by the directors in their suicidal policy, an earnest protest would be offered by the general body of the proprietary, and that the sense of the meeting would be testified in the strongest manner against the recent change —a change which was adopted by the directors on their own responsibility, without the opinions of the general body with respect thereto being asked for, or desired. The report (a copy whereof appeared in The Sun of yesterday) was chiefly remarkable for its total disregard of the interests of the public. In every line it breathed the spirit of monopoly. The whole end and object appears to be, how and by what means can the greatest amount be extracted from the pockets of the public ? It is not pretended that the former reduction of rates was not attended with be nefit to all classes ; that a larger sum was not thereby earned by the company, and made divisible amongst the proprietors. On the contrary, it appeared that the increase, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1845, before the reduction had taken place, was 37,653 first-class, 87,712 second-class, and no less than 271,068 third-class passengers ; on the latter an increase of more than 200 per cent. True it was that a greater quantity of ground had been travelled over, consequent upon the opening of the Tunbridge `Veils branch, and that from Ashford to Canterbury and Ramsgate, but it will be found that the increase more than correspond( d to the ad ditional distance, and it is well known that it takes some time fully to develope the resources of a rail way, and that a far less number of passengers have recourse to it during the first months of its existence than when it has been for some time in operation; a great increase of profit may therefore reasonably be looked for from the several branches on future occa sions. The directors, however, seize on the fact, that notwithstanding the increase in the amount received, and in the number of persons carried, the amount per mile per week earned, in 1845, was greater than that earned during the last half-year, to say that it thereby became incumbent on them to reconsider the scale of passenger fares, and to adjust them as seemed reasonable, after the experience gained on a trial of twelve months at the greatly reduced rates. This is the only explana tion they condescend to give, the only apology they offer to the public for the great additional charges they have made at the close of a session of Parliament, during which they relied in the strongest manner on the reductions they had previously effected as giving them a claim upon the nation, and as sufficient in itself to overrule the claims of a rival company, offer ing great advantages to the inhabitants of the northern parts of Kent, and to all continental travellers; they do not mention how much less was the amount per mile earned during the last half-year, nor how that was calculated. They could not possibly suppose that branches just opened would have earned as largely per mile as the main trunk, which had been in full operation for no less than ten years, and which enjoyed peculiar advantages as being (for the present) the route by which a great majority of travellers to the continent must travel. We call upon the directors, if they wish to be sup posed to have acted in a fair and boner file manner, to publish a comparison of the rates per mile earned over the same ground on the fares in operation during 1845 and during the corresponding period of the present year, at the reduced rate ; without pretending to the power of divination, we will venture to pre dict that it a ill be found to have been more remune rative at the cheaper rate. If this be the case, what can be said of the conduct of those who put forwaril , as an argument to justify the increase of fart a, certain circumstances, when, if the facts con nected therewith were fully and truly set forth, it would appear to be strongly in favour of the other course. Let the directors, then, if they wish to be acquitted in the eyes of the public, state what the earning has been during the corresponding por tion of the years 1845 and 1846, or the portion that was, during both periods, opened to the public —say from London to Dover, exclusive of the branches. Lord TORRINGTON, in seconding the adoption of the report, ventured to attack the public press of the country for the animadversions which they, in the honest and fearless discharge of their duty, thought it necessary to pronounce on the conduct of the directors in raising the fares of the line He expressed his regret " that the writers, without looking into the facts, and with out making inquiries into the circumstances, should make such statements, that they should have opened such attacks without strong and serious grounds on which to base their assertions." Now, with all respect for his Lordship, we conceive that there were ample grounds for the observations offered. Those contained io The Sun were based on the simple fact of the in crease of rates, which has been found to be opposed to the experience of the past, which has clearly estab• lished that in every instance in which reductions of fares have taken place there has been a more than proportionate increase of traffic, and that there has been a mutual benefit to the public and the coin panies therefrom. We also thought that this pro ceeding was peculiarly objectionable on the part of the South-Eastern Company, being in violation of an implied contract with the public. Their advo cates had made the committee-rooms resound with praises of their disinterested conduct in the reduction of their fares, an argument of which they re ceived the full benefit. We pointed out how unjust it was that persons Rho, on the faith of the existing fares, had taken country residences along the line should now be subjected to a greatly increased expenditure; that it was very unfair, not only to compel persons to travel an addi tional distance by a circuitous route, but also to charge them for the extra space. These were the arguments used in The Sun, and we defy the Noble Lord to show how they are in any manner shaken by the very lame explanation offered, and to which his Lordship referred with so much complacency. He took peculiar credit to the company for charging only one penny per mile for third-class passengers. We believe that the Legislature are fairly entitled to that praise, and not the company. Mr. SALOMONS made an appeal to the proprietors highly creditable to himself to induce them to retrace their steps; but, with some few honourable exceptions, the assemblage were blinded by mistaken views of fancied pro fits, and disregarded the prudent and sensible ad vice offered. We again emphatically warn the com pany to pause. Should they persist, a heavy retribu tion must await them ; the public will not suffer themselves to be treated in such a manner with im• punity. They may now domineer in fancied security, but they will awake to the disagreeable consequences at a very early period of the next session of Par liament. The attention of the Irish landlords has been thoroughly awakened to the circumstances in which they are placed, and various suggestions are offered from day to day for the consideration of the Govern ment. Food must be provided for the starving multi tudes, and the obvious and natural source from whence that provision is to be obtained is the land of the country. The necessities of all must be fully met by the produce of the soil, before any portion can be applied to the superfluities of any. It has been well stated in the memorial of the Central Relief Committee of the baronies of Upper and Lower Kells and Fore, to the Lord Lieutenant, " that the case which they are now called on to meet differs, not only in degree, but also in the nature of the evil, from that which they had to contemplate last season." Last year there was a pressing but temporary deficiency, and there was a reasonable ground for hoping that on the arrival of the next harvest the emergency would have passed away, and that the ordinary channels of supply would have been available to the public support. That expect& tion has vanished. The evil must now be dealt with as a permanent one. It would indeed evince a sad want of foresight, an idiotic blindness, if some means were not adopted to pmduce a greater quantity and different quality of food for the multitude from that which has been withdrawn from their use. This can only be produced by an increased degree of cultiva tion, an extra quantity of labour applied to the soil, and a more judicious selection of the description of crops to be raised therefrom. Few who are entirely dependent on a single crop will venture on one so likely to yield no return as the potato. The farmers will scarcely be willing again to risk the chance of such a lottery, or to let their ground for such a purpose to persons who, in the event of a failure, will be wholly unable to remu nerate them therefor. There must be means adopted for the adequate employment of the labouring population, so that each man may be cer tain, in return for his exertion, of procuring a suffi ciency of plain food for himself and family, and the shelter of an humble roof. This he has a right to demand from his country, and it must be provided for him, whatever may be the difficulties, the impe diments in the way of so doing. The necessity is admitted by all—the only question is as to the means by which it may be effected. Last year large sums were raised by voluntary contributions. It can scarcely be expected that similar funds can be pro cured to meet the present distress. Many, who gave freely according to their means, would be unable to afford an equal subscription at present. Neither would it be just, if it were practicable, to look solely to voluntary gifts ; those who are disposed to act most justly to provide employment on their own estates for persons having a fair claim thereto, would also be disposed to act most generously, and thus a double burden would be imposed on them, while the heartless and inhuman would escape the performance of a solemn duty. Neither would it be just that the means should be provided from the public ex- • - • , • • .. •-• - THE SUN, LONDON, SATAIRDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12 3 1846, chequer ; if that were to be the case, the industry, the labour of the nation at large, would be taxed for the benefit of a class. It would shift the re sponsibility of providing for the labouring poor from the laud to which they belonged, and which is pe culiarly chargeable therewith, to the nation at large. Every consideration of justice and policy forbids such a course. The true principle is that recently laid down by Mr. McliseLL, himself a large landed pro prietor, viz.—that every owner of land must employ the poor belonging to that land. If this be carried into execution, he will speedily find some productive labour on which to occupy them, and no longer permit their energies to be expended on that which can yield no return. Public works may answer very well as a temporary expedient, but in a short time all that are really useful in the district will be exe cuted, and then the lands must be charged for that which is absolutely useless, when the labour which would be required therefor might be so much more beneficially applied. That labour for which the land is compelled to pay should be employed in developing the productive power of the land. The necessity for the interference of the State is to compel a certain quantity of land to provide for a certain quantity of labour ; if the owner or occupier of that land is willing to do so, he should be permitted to select the manner of that employment himself. In such a case he will be certain to apply it in the most bene ficial and advantageous channel. A. labour rate should be imposed on the land sufficient for the remuneration of the persons requiring employ ment, but a drawback should be allowed therefrom for the actual amount paid for labour by the person chargeable. If one hundred acres of land should be chargeable with the maintenance of ten labourers, the owner should fairly be discharged :from any pay ment, if he can clearly and satisfactorily prove that he has kept ten men in constant occupation. He should be only bound to pay the balance not so ex pended ; the means of acting on this system might be difficult but not impracticable. A register should be kept in every district of the persons for whom em ployment should be provided, and an apportionment of the quantity of labour, so as to ascertain the quan tity fairly chargeable against each acre in proportion to its value. A local board should be constituted whose duty it would be to investigate that any credit claimed by the person chargeable was a fair and bond fide one, and let them sanction the drawbacks claimed. By such means, where every member of the board would be interested in preventing any evasion of fair responsibility, a strict superintendence might be kept over the entire dis trict, and the burden fairly and equitably distributed. It is only by some such means that the emergency can be met. It may press heavily on some who are already embarrassed and encumbered, but, as we have already said, such persons must withdraw from positions the duties incidental to which they are un able to discharge, and leave an opening for others who have the ability. Whether the improvidence which has reduced them to such a state be their own, or that of the persoes from whom they have derived the properties, it is not reasonable that the nation should be the sufferer. A letter from Rome, dated 28th August, which appears in the Augsburgh Gazette, has the follow ing : " It is stated that Cardinals Vanicelli and Dellagengn, the one legate of Orbiz and Pesaro, and the other of Bologna, are about to give in their resignations. From the late events their positions are no longer tenable ; the partisans of the ancient regime are still agitating, and to that mutt be added that the Propaganda in Paris and in London are not content with the amnesty. They dream of a kingdom of Italy, and endeavour to gain over the youth ; the p€ (Tie, however, reject this odious idea, and the persons who have been amnestied show them stives worthy of the clemency of the Pope. Cardinal Gizzi has lately addressed a circular to all the authori ies, calling upon them to oppose every tendency to re volution. The Government has already given proof that it will not overlook any negligence on the part of public functionaries. Dr. Fossi, Governor of Fazenza, has been brought before the tribunals, and his place givein :A) another. MN?. Gorga and d'Asti, directors of police at Foligno and Pesaro, had met with a similar fate. The former only escaped being massacred by putting on a disguise, in which he got off. His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville is expected to arrive here this day. Pie is charged with a special mission from the King, his father, to the Pope. Ile will stay only one clear day at Rome, and then return to Naples." The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople of the 27th, and from Athens of the 30. h ult. The Constantinople journals state that accounts had been received from Trebisond of the suppression of the revolt in the Adjara, and of the capture of its chief, KEUR HUSSEIN BBL At Erzerou►xx the people were still in an agitated state, and the guard at the Persian embassy was doubled. The cholera was ravaging Teheran and several other cities of Persia. One of the sons of the SIIAH had died, and so great was the alarm that the Snail and his Ministers had fled from the city, and the members of the corps diplomatique were about to follow their example. At Athens the Chamber of Representatives was still occupied in discussing the budget. A royal decree has been issued fur the colonisation of the Thracians, Bulgarians, and Servians, resident in Greece. By this decree they are all to be united in one establishment, instead of residing, as hithorto, in different parts of the country. The decree consists of 34 clauses, fixing the regulations of the colony, and the attribution of the different officers. Madrid papers of the Sth have arrived. It would appear that Mr. BULWER, on being in ormed of the double marriage, had made a condi tional protest against the MOINTPENSIER alliance. This fact is now admitted by the Government organ, the Heraldo. The opposition to this marriage on the part of the Spanish nation was daily increasing ; the Carlists and the Pro gressistas are joi❑ed in their opposition by the more powerful SE ction of the Moderados. In the Cortes M. Pactizco will lead the opposition to the project for the AIONTPENSIER marriage. and the Tiempo says, that so afraid are the Afrancesado party of encountering discussion, that the announce ment to the Cortes of the marriage of the QUEEN will be immediately followed by the reading a decree dissolving that body. There was a rumour in Madrid that the preparations for the marriage of the INFANTA had been countermanded. It is said that the mar riage of the QUEEN will take place on the 18th. General PEZEALA having been appointed Inspector- General of Cavalry, has resigned the office of Cap tain-General of Madrid, which bas been conferred on General SIIELLY. The troops, which were concen trated on the Portuguese frontier, have gone into cantonments near Seville.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Journal des Wats has an article whicl; m May be looked upon as official on the subject of the mar riage of the INFANTA to the Duke DE MoNTrENSIER. After designating it as for Europe a great " political fact, for France an event of immense national import ance," it thus continues : " The marriage of the Infanta to the Duke de Mont pensier is a pledge of a complete reconciliation between Spain and France. It re-establishes that traditional in. timaey which had been so unfortunately broken. It may now be said without fear that there has been for nearly half a century a wide breach of continuity in the history of France and Spain. Those ties, which were formed by nature, and strengthened by religion and good policy, were unhappily broken by the Imperial invasion. The hand of violencecan never be laid with impunity upon the liberty of a people—upon their national .in dependence. Th e reco ll e ction o f thi s has long dwelt in the hearts of the Spaniards, and, perhaps, has not even yet completely disappeared. Nothing can be more lik e l y to E ff ace t h e l ast traces o f dissa tisfaction and consummate the entire reunion of the two nations, than the happy alliance that has just been agreed upon. The marriage of the Infanta of Spain with a son of France will, we are convinced, be the seal of oblivion put upon all painful remembrances, and mark the close of this unfortunate era. The Pyre nees will stand f ast, b ut t h ere w ill no longer subsist be tween the tw o countr i es, t h ose mor al barriers which are more powerful still than those of geography. At no period coal(' the re-establishment of this ancient in timacy have been made under more happy auspices. There was a time, still not very far back, when it might have been accomplished, but not in a manner i so com plete. When Sp a i n b a d no strength but for incessant revolutions—when she expended all her enerjes in re bellion, and presented to the world no other spec tacle than that of an anarchy whose source was in the laws, France could not so closely identify he rse lf with Spain without rendering herself in a mea sure a participator in a state of things in hostility to her own institutionsAher own policy,:and the.. principles of h er own Government. Spain has happily saved herself from this anarchy. In these latter years she has secured the durability of her free institutions, by founding them upon the basis of order. Since the reform efhcted in her fundamental law she has become a truly constitu tional country—she has, in fact, a government. As the law no longer allows citizens to organise inde pend-nt military corps, and thus establish permanent revolt—as the provinces can no huger dismember the. monat chy, and the local authorit;es can no longer place themselves above the Central Government, and scatter to every extremity of the kingdom the fragments. o the executive power, from this day a representative any! constitutional Governors nt is founded in Spain, upon regular, solid, and natural bases. 'I his is a work which undoubtedly can never be accomplished in a day —Spain has undoubtedly still to pass through many trials Ilefore she can reach the end; but she is well on her way—she must march forward rapidly—and France will now have greater interest in encouraging- and supporting her in her endeavours. It is a great advantage to France to have acquired new points of contact with a country in which order is being daily more and more consolidated, and in which nothing is wanted but order to bring forth all its immense resources. Com merce will naturally follow in the same path as its policy, and Spain must necessarily become one of the most vast and viluable marts for the produce of France. But this is nut meant to indicate that France has either the pretension or the desire to exercise an exclusive influ ence over Spain, or to take advantage of her natural means of action, to exclude the interests of other coun tries. Even wli n most intimately connected with us, Spain will not the less retain her lull freedom of action towards her other allies, and will continue to be com pletely independent in a!1 her relations. Fiance seeks only to draw more closely in Spain those bonds which are rendered natural and indispensable by proximity of territory, by historical tradition, by relationship of sovereign families ; but she does not aspire to create for herself, in any other respect, any species of monopoly, or any exclusive preponderance." The Debats next maintains, that although the re vival of the family compact is not thought of, the marriage between the INFANTA and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER is of great " dynastic interest," since it sheds fresh lustre and éclat on the house of ORLEANS, and is another step towards uniting the great BOURBON family, now occupying three of the first thrones in Europe. The first step towards this reunion was the recognition of the Queen of SPAIN by the King of NAPLES ; the next the marriage of the Due D'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess; and the third the marriage f the Due DE MONTPENSIER with the Infanta of SPAIN. A free-trade association is about to be established at Lyons. The Due DE MONTPENSIER, who is to be imme diately created a Major-General, has arrived in Paris. The Prince DE JOINVILLE was expected at Rome, charged with a special mission to the POPE from King LOUIS PHILIPPE. The account of the expulsion of the French from Otaheite, which was published a few days since, is contradicted by the Journal du Havre. The last accounts from Otaheite were to the effect that some hostilities had taken place, but that the natives had been repulse 3, and a piece of cannon captured from them. The accounts from Algiers are up to the sth. The country was tranquil, but in the neighbourhood of Constantina a caid, named LAKIIAL, distinguished for his partiality to the French, had been set upon by a large number of Arabs and shot, and his mules, horses, and baggage taken off. llis attendants fled at the moment of the attack. According to the Ahbar, a French envoy had arrived at Tangiers, to treat with ADD- EL-KADER for an exchange of pri soners. The Courrier Francais says :—" An order has, it is said, been sent by telegraph to General DE BAR, Governor of Algeria ad interim, to prepare an expe ditionary body of 5,000 men to enter upon a cam paign immediately after the return of Marshal BuGEAUD."

SPAIN. (From the Times.) MADRID, SEPTEMBER 6. El Herald() declares that the marriage of the In fanta with the Duke of Montpensier will take place, notwithstanding the resistance to it on the part of any Foreign Power. El 77empo says that M. Bussen was to present himself to-day at the Palace, and demand, in a formal manner, the hand of the Infanta, the Queen's sister, for the Duke of Montpensier. El Espectador was seized to-day by order of the Political Chief. Mr. Bulwer, British Minister at Madrid, sent him, at one o'clock this day, a second note, of a strong and enerzetic character, to Senor Isturitz, on the subject of the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Mont pensier. He warns Senor Isturitz of the danger that will probablY follow a perseverance in that scheme. He maintains the right of England to interfere in the marriage of the Ifanta, which, by the law of the country, is of as much public importance as that of the Queen herself. He declares that England, of all other nations, has a right to interfere, as her armies bled and her treasures were squandered in sustaining the independence of the country. He regrets that so much mystery and secresy have been observed by Senor Isturitz on the subject; and fears that thereby he incurs a grave responsibility. Even if the Cortes agree to the marriage, it will nevertheless not cease to be a question of public im portance and interest to all Europe. The Queen of Spain is an independent Sovereign in her own states, but she cannot disturb by any act of hers the rela tions that exist between the Powers of Europe. A Cabinet Council was summoned at trvo o'clock in consequence of the above. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GAMITZT.
