Lord BESBOROUGH'S stoppage of the public works in the barony of Upper Tulla, county Clare, does not cause us the slightest astonishment. The deter mination of his Excellency is in accordance with the strictest principles of morality and with the most generous recommendations of humanity. It must be immediately manifest that the consequences of such a procrastination of Government relief to the destitute in those extensive districts will be of the most dis astrous character. In the notification of the Under- Secretary it is expressly mentioned that upwards of 20,0001. in public presentments, for that barony alone, had already received the approbation of the constituted authorities. If we bear in recollection the extremity of destitution which must have elicited so munificent a provisio n f rom th e Executive, and if we remember, moreover, the cer tainty with which the impoverished peasantry must have been latterly calculating upon that assistance , we shall be enabled to for m some adequate concep tion, of the miseries which nevitably accrue to them from the postponement of that indeed,mustthisdcl So calamitous, that supposing it has any particular duration, by famine will beneficentleaayte interference. unquestionably swell the pliocnianlg bilwlssithof mortality. Hundreds have been the direst penury in that neighbourhood ; they have be en emaciated with continuous privations ; th ey absolute have regarded the futu re w i t h a 2terii and desolate despair.

' , , • ,,,.. . - - 1.• ....... Government most:opportunely advanced for the bodily salvation of those to whom a little while before that salvation had seemed an impossibility. There was immediately a prospective happiness for those who had hitherto only beheld an interminable vista of wretchedness ; there was active and certain employ ment for those who were unable previously to earn the most beggarly wages. Money was not to be doled out in miserable driblets. Labourers were to be recompensed honestly, in proportion to their exertions As we have already intimated, no less than twenty thou sand pounds had been already approved by those who had the direction and distribution of the present ments. Just as this had been accomplished, just as the redemption of the Irish peasantry from starvation was on the verge of realisation, the saving hand has been withdrawn, the plank which providentially spanned the abyss hos been broken in twain—not a single straw is left for the sinking multitude to clutch at. IVhat has caused this terrible react ion ? Ruffian ism, lawlessness, and cruelty. The Irish themselves are effectuating their own destruction. The Irish themselves will ultimately be alone answer able for the lives sacrificed in these days of their national tribulation. By contemning the laws, by despising the recommendations of their more patriotic countrymen, by abusing all the sacred . rights of property, and endangering the existence of peaceful and unoffending citizens, these ruthless and misguided insurgents are drawing upon themselves a gigantic and overwhelming responsibility. They are rendering the position q . the obedient and gentle civilian equally precarious with that of the most infamous marauder. They not only render a with drawal of pecuniary aid incumbent upon the Legis lature, but they invoke upon their unfortunate neighbours the rigours of an extraordinary sur veillance. From the obstruction of the appointed officers in the discharge: of their stipulated duties the suspension of those duties is inevitable ; and from the atrocities perpetrated upon private individuals the endeavour to ameliorate the condition of the destitute is altogether prevented. Instead, therefore, of re ceiving assistance from the Executive in their present privations, the peasantry are subjected to others still greater, and they owe this exclusively and solely to themselves. We cannot speak in language sufficiently powerful for the reprobation of these great crimes. We cannot express with adequate force the intensity of our detestation of these public malefactors. We call upon the better-disposed among the Irish peasantry to deliver their evil-doers up to justice, and to bring down upon them that condign punish ment which men never merited more entirely. We adjure Mr. O'CONNELL to exert the great influence which he has acquired by many years of mental and bodily toil for the advantage of Ireland, we adjure him to exert that influence in repressing the evil pas sions of an excited population. He never had such an opportunity of proving himself the Liberator of Ireland. Let him seize that oppor tunity, let him hurl his reprobation upon the guilty insurgents, upon those banded ruffians who shoot men in the twilight, who stab men in the dark, who pillage wantonly on the highway, who intercept and molest the agents of legislative benevolence, who prevent the penniless from gaining employment, the starving from obtaining food, and those who despair from acquiring hope. No terms of execration can define the heinous criminality of those enemies of the suffering people ; and feeling this, we implore all the right-thinking men in the island to co-operate with the Government in ridding, the country of such pests, and of restoring matters to their propitious position. It is to be hoped that these things may be accomplished, and that the aspirations of the Lord-Lieutenant will be realised. Those aspirations are thus expressed by Mr. REDINGTON "His Excellency would hope that the good sense of the people will resume its influence; that they will see the folly and the crime they are guilty of, in thus wan tonly interfering with the means provided for the sup port of the destitute in this time of distress; and that he will have the satisfaction of re,:eiving full assurance of their return to a better course of conduct, of their cordial acquiescence in the arrangements made for their em ployment, and of their determination to refrain from fur ther obstruction or injury to persons engaged in laying out or superintending the public works." Do not these occurrences sufficiently demonstrate the relative advantages of the moral and the physical force movement ? Do they not betoken the brutal other ? Again we adjure O'CONNELL to crush these brawlers and marauders once for all, and, by moral means, to cause the physical liberation of Ireland. The observations which Mr. O'CONNELL, according to his invariable custom, offers every week to the Repeal Association on the passing events of the day, either viva voce, or by letter, were on Monday deli vered by him in person. We have so often expatiated on the vast importance of anything falling from Mr. O'CONNELL on any topic connected with Ireland, that it is quite unnecessary to preface in any manner the comments we may think it necessary to offer on the subject-matter of his communication. It is, if pos sible, of deeper interest, and affords grounds for still more gloomy reflections, than any he has lately put forward. The picture he has painted is, indeed, a sombre one ; but, happily, all is not dark ; there are a few bright spots, on which we can repose with some thing of hope for the future. It has been said that— " It is always the darkest the hour before day ;" and we sincerely trust that when that hour of dark ness has pissed away, and sunshine is again restored, all classes of society in that unhappy land may be improved by the ordeal of affliction through which they will have passed, and that they may prove themselves fur the future to be wiser and better men. The veteran patriot is manifestly deeply touched with the unhappy condition of his father-land; he states " that he had intended to address the Associa tion at great length with reference to the Cork reso lution, and to discuss, in many words, the position of all parties, but that he was unable to du so, for his heart was too full, and his mind too much engaged with the misery of the Irish people, who wanted food and employment." Alas ! the:e is now no longer a doubt as to the extent of their suf ferings, of the depth of misery and destitution in which they are plunged. The most incredulous politician, the most thorough-going monopolist, the most reckless perverter of the facts, could not now venture gravely to assert that the cry of distress has been got up for party purposes, or with the view of deceiving the Legislature or the public, and obtaining their sanction and approbation to the great doctrines of free trade. The stern reality is now fully ad mitted—there is no longer dispute or controversy on that point—and, whatever may be the differences as to le means by which the difficulties may he encountered, here can be no question as to their existence and formidable character. Mr. O'CONNELL adds the weight of his authority to the dark vaticinations that have recently been put forward. He fears that we are but at the commencement of horrors, and that the next harvest will not have the effect so ardently de sired, of terminating the period of scarcity. He says, "He knew the real position of the country well, he knew her dangers, and could tell the gentry, and the Government, that it was absurd to suppose that six or eight months would see them over their difficulties. That if a beneficent PROVIDENCE did not guide the Government, it wasimpossible to say what the position of the country might be in twelve months. Famine was almost universal." This fearful announcement must surely awaken all the sympathies, and bespeak the most zealous exertions not only of every Irishman, but of every British subject—of every man possessed of the commonest feelings of philanthropy. The sublimest precept of our religion—a precept acknow ledged by every Christian, of whatever sect or deno mination he may be—inculcates the duty of " feed ing the hungry and clothing the naked." We know little of Englishmen if any persuasion is necessary to induce them to co-operate in the work of charity and beneficence. The simple tale of misery speaks with greater eloquence than the most accomplished orator could give expres sion to ; and, on the part of our country, we can give the assurance that any step which may appear advisable to the Executive will be sanctioned. No matter how serious the expense, or how heavy the burdens in which we may thereby be required to participate—Englishmen, who gave twenty millions sterling to strike the shackles from the slave, to re move the stain from the fair f.me of their country, the blot from their st a t u t e -b ook, will, if necessary, divide, their last crust with their Irish brother before a single one shall perish for want of food in a Christian land. The gentry of Ireland, however, must be up and 1 , stirring ; they are placed in the van of battle, the fiercest part of the contest, they are called on to encounter. Why slumber they so long ? Why is there not a national committee already assembled in the Irish metropolis ? Why are there not sub committees in every district, to aid with their advice, to render every assistance in their power to the Go vernment and the authorities ? The want of such bodies, the material services they could render, are admitted on every side, and yet prejudices have still prevented that cordial co-operation of persons of different parties that is so loudly called for, so ur gently required by their common country. This will, this must, be termi-.lated. We have the gratify ing testimony of Mr. O'CONNELL " that the wretched state of Ireland has been the means of circulating a feel ing that never before existed." He speaks of his personal observation at the Fermoy meeting, where he saw " clergymen of all creeds, and gentry of all creeds and classes of politics, joining together to alleviate the universal distress that prevails, and forming a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant to claim the suc cour of the Government." Fervently do we pray that this better feeling may become universal. If this should be the case the evils afflicting Ireland will not be without their good effect, the dissensions and dif ferences that so long have disunited her children and marred every effort made for her benefit, will be ter minated, and we may look for the greatest ameliora tion in the social and moral relations of the people as the happy result, the first fruits of this great and valuable change. We have only space to say further, that Mr. O'CoN NELL has made the amende honorable to the Board of Works for the attack on them at the Fermoy meet ing. A week since we stated our opinion that many circumstances existed to prevent the board from act ing so promptly as they would wish for the people. Already they have sanctioned presentments to the amount of 800,000 Z. sterling, and set sixty thousand labourers to work, thus providing for an average of 300,000 persons. They have even devoted their Sab baths to the pious work; and it would, indeed, be hard to find a better or more suitable occupation for the day. Mr. O'CoNNELL has gracefully acknow ledged the error into which he had fallen, the mis conception under which he laboured with respect to the board ; and, we trust, that his statement may remove the bitter feelings that have existed in the country against the body. We hope that a little time and consideration will induce him to make a similar confession of error as to what he stated respecting the liberal and enlightened Nobleman at the head of the Government. We confess, that the observation, with respect to the Premier, was the only part of the speech we perused with regret, and could have wished totally omitted. We shall, however, hope that Mr. O'Costnnu.'s candour will induce him to acknowledge his mistake, and that fully and speedily. The St. Petersburgh journals of the 24th October contain the following from the seat of war : were done at 34k. for cash, and 35 for paper; the Four per Cents., at 211 ; the Five per Cents., at 211 ; the Debt without Interest, at GI- ; and the Coupons at 20. " Accounts have just, been received from the seat of war in the Caucasus. On the 26th September the commander in chief arrived at the camp of Fortunga, and inspected the new fortification. Thanks to the ex ertions of General Labinoff it is almost completed. The army of this officer is composed of 7,000 men, and during the whole summer he has only had 17 on the sick list. Schamyl bad threatened to destroy the fort, but he has not made his appearance since the 18th, and then never fired a shot. The tribe of the Nehochanges resist all the promises and offers made them by Schamyl to in duce them to join him. On the 30th of August, Soliman Effendi, a priest and friend of Schamyl, went over to the Russians with all his family, and it is expected that in a short time many more of his partisans will find it to their inter, at to do the same. On the 15th September there was an engagement between the Russians and the mountaineers, in which the latter were completely put to the rout. In southern Daghestan General Prince Argulinski keeps the enemy in check, and is able to protect the tribes who are faithful to Russia. The militia which had been or ganised there had attacked a large band of mountaineers and put them to flight. The enemy had one piece of cannon, and fought very desperately, but were repulsed with loss. The plain of linmik is now cover.sd with fortifications, and there is a strong reserve of cavalry." NVe have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Siecle, which has always boen opposed to the entente cordiale with England, is even more firmly opposed to the establishment of anything like an entente cordiale with the absolutist Governments, as recommenderby the Presse. 'We believe that the following article, which appears in the Siecle of Tuesday, may be considered as the protest of the Odilon Barrot section of French Liberals against anything like a Russian alliance : _ _ The Grand Council of Geneva met on the 28th ult , and received a report of the Provisional Go ♦ernment, giving an account of their proceedings from the day of their installation, and concluding with an offer from each of the members to resign of any of their mea-ures. The Grand Council, after eonbiOering the report, came to the following resolu tion, which was carried unanimously : " Taking into consideration the decree of the Council General of Alolard, the Grand Council does not accept the resignation of the members of the Provisional Govern ment, but testifies gratitude to them fcr the services which they hare already rendered to the country, and entreats them to continue their functions." The Journal de rA in had published a correspondence in which it was said that at the time of the approach of the French troops, the troops of Geneva at the same time took up a position on the frontier with two cannon. The Revue de Geneve replies—" This manner of announcing a simple measure of police is altogether false; no cannon were sent. At the most, 30 of the paid artillerymen were placed at the two points of Meyrin and Grand Saconnex, and this feeble detachment has since returned." The Council of Basle adopted on the 29th ult., by an immense majority, the proposition for a revision of the Constitution, and appointed a committee of 15 members, to prepare a re. port on the subject. Intelligence to the 30th of October has been re ceivel from Lisbon. The QUEEN'S troops had been victorious in two encounters with the insurgents. The first victory was announced in the following telegraphic dispatch, which was received at Lisbon on the 30th of October : "FROM SCHWALBACK, VISCONDE DE SETUBAL. " I arrived at the camp of the Baron de Estrenoz a, eleven on the night of the 27th inst., having been in formed by him of the union of the sth and 6th Casa dores and 4th Artillery. The Baron and I marched with our entire column at four in the morning of the 28th to meet the enemy. We met them at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, in a strong position in the town of Viana. I attacked immediately, and at five o'clock P.M. we had completely routed them, they leaving in our hands several cart-loads of ammunition and other effect, with two pieces of artillery. I calculate their loss at 200 men, between killed, wounded, and prisoners. On our part we have had an officer killed and two wounded, together with some soldiers and horses. I will send you, when time permits, more details of this day of glory for the servants of her Majesty the Queen. " VISCONDE DE SETUBAL. " Viana, Oct. 29, 1846." The second victory is thus announced in a letter from the north of the kingdom : " Baron Cazal, on arriving at Villareal, met the de mocratic forces under the command of Veiga, Ribello, and Seixas. He defeated them completely, killing an immense number, and the two leaders, Veiga and Ribello died, the people of the district being struck with such terror its consequence, that the province of Tros-os- Montes need give no further concern. The Baron next arrived at Penaful with the 3d and 13th Infantry and 6th and 7th Cavalry, and went in pursuit of Almargen, who fled by Valongo to Oporto on the 26th. The blockade of the Douro has been acknowledged by the English Consul. The consequence is, that no money i s received at the Custom-house, which produces insubor dination amongst the insurgent troops, and despair in the mob." Count BOMFIN has escaped from Lisbon, and has joined the Count DAS ANT.4B at Coimbra. The Diario de Governo of the 30th contains 1. A decree, by which the Queen, at the recommenda tion of her ministers, assumes the exercise of absolute power as long ai the present rebellion lasts. 2. A letter from the Queen to Count Das Antas, in viting him to make his submission. 3. His answer in the negative. 4. A decree, depriving Count Das Antas, Count de Mello, the Marquis of Loule, Viscount Sada Bandeira, and Baron Algodres, of all their titles and honours, for having taken arms against the Government." The British squadron, under the command of Sir W. PARKER, entered the Tagus on the 30th. The squadron consists of the Hibernia, the Trafalgar, the Albion, the Rodney, the Superb, and the Terrible and 'Nattier steamers. " To console themselves for the imminent ruin of the English alliance, our Ministers flatter themselves, or rather boast, to have regained at Vienna and St. Peters burgh all the ground that they have lost at London. For our parts, we do not perceive the trace of this happy progress, unless there be given to us a pledge of the benevolent dispositions of Austria in the efforts which she is snaking to have a cut at Switzerland, and to give a finishing stroke to Poland. On all sides the interests of this power are opposed to the interests and sympathies of constitutional France. Before forming an alliance with her, our Government should commence by betray. ing her. We are well aware that for M. Guizot that is neither an insurmoun'able difficulty nor an impossible condition ; but even supposing this alliance realisable, what would be the advantage of it ? Of all the states of Europe, Austria is perhaps that of which the power is most menaced. She has j alidifficulty to live that her action is neither formidablegglier enemies nor of service to her allies. Italy, that slave always quivering, as one of her poets calls her, gives to the Nestor of the Holy Alliance too cruel anxieties to allow him to be at leisure to join in the diplomatic dreams of our Minister of Foreign Affairs. It fears that at Venice the winged lion of St. Mark may respond to the Roman eagle, but inefficiently lulled to quiet, and the 50,000 bayonets which line the southern frontier of Austria scarcely suffice for her security. By pressing on Poland, felled as she is to the ground, she with difficulty restrains her fatal convulsions. Let her abandon her prey for an instant, and at once the victim starts up to struggle with her executioner. In Bohemia and Hungary the spirit of modern liberalism unites with the anarchy of the middle ages to excite continually renewed embarrass. ments against Vienna. Occupied in watching her indo cile subjects can she exercise a high influence on the destiny of her neighbours ? In Germany an adroit and persevering rival is displacing the centre of Germanic unity ; Prussia, by means of the Zollverein, constitutes a great business feudality, of which she declares herself the suzerain, leaving to the self-entitled heir of the Cmsars a shadow of a power which soon will not exist except in a vain ceremonial. Pressed or menaced on all sides, invaded by the advanced posts of constitutional opinion, penetrated by parts of other states which destroy the cohesion of her territory, Austria, even supposing her to possess the will, could not have the power of giving an impulse to public opinion in Europe; her part is inert, and her policy negative. Is it to this power, now in a dying state, that our Ministers are about to hold out t h e hand ? Do they hope to fill up by such an alliance the chasm which the disap pearance of the English alliance would leave in our foreign relations ? They boast also with an indiscreet vanity of the unhoped-for advances which the Cabinet of St. Petershurgh has, they say, made to our Government. The Czar, the Ministerial journals lately declared, deigned to invite the Charge d'Affaires of France to a family dinner. The whole importance and bearing of such an event are at once felt! Who can possibly doubt after that of the good dispositions of Russia? Does not Providence offer us, with a wonderful opportuneness, that consolation to diminish the bitterness of the divorce which separates us from England? Anxious to pay the dowry, even before the celebration of this new union, our Ministry lowers the customs tariffs in favour of the produce and vessels of Russia, without waiting for the ratification of the Czar to permit our flag to enjoy a like favour in the Muscovite ports. It is well known how we regard the Russisn alliance as far as the interests of liberty are concerned in France and Europe. We should not advise a French Ministry to seek an ally so far, by passing over the body of unfortunate Poland. But, besides, is such a scruple the only obstacle which opposes the realisation of this project? Does there exist any point of contact between the petty spirit of our Government and tl:e enterprising genius of the Romanoffs? The status quo is the system of the one, conquest is the object of the other. Only an offensive alliance can be contracted with Russia; it was possible, perhaps, immediately after the revolution of 1830, now it is only a chimerical idea. What pledges would our Government receive ? What part would be given to it in the profits of this association ? Whilst under favour of the assistance or of the neutrality of the French Government, the Russian arms invaded the East, where would there be found compensation for France ? Is it in Belgium, which has been declared neutral and in dependent? Or in Germany, on the banks of the Rhine, where the powerless and cold diplomacy of our Ministry has almost caused the French name to sink into oblivion? Can Poland at present rise up again ? Will Russia offer to reconstitute with the ruins of that unfortunate nation a state which shall re-establish in Europe the :.c t uilibrium that has been destroyed ? Russia has not conceived a sufficiently high id( a of the energy of the French Cabinet to purchase its alliance. She will pur sue her destinies in her formidable isolation. If by chance her eagle unites with foreign colours, has not It 9g, howilAtiat . it!s to march against France or her • diplomacy pushed to its last shifts. At the moments of &diger the Government will find itself alone between the contempt of courts and the distrust of nations. Such is the consequence and the chastisement of the wretched policy which it practices." The Republicans, as represented by the Nation ii, and the Thiers party, as represented by the Constitutionnel, are equally opposed to an intimate alliance with the absolutist Governments; and we believe that there is not to be found throughout Prance a member of any sec tion of the Liberal party who would not oppose to the utmost of his power the formation of any such entente cordiale. The Univers, the organ of the parti pretre, rejoices embarrassments of the London says over the misfortunes of Mexico, because it fan c i es that those misfortunes may tend to embarrass the uner rassEngl i a v nd ; ‘ The nt v si o mn Mexico," th a t th e American Ca "tend b ` iet.o l l a t st n i is increase vne theo e Go vernment is intent on the conquest of Mexico. The menacing situation of Ireland, and the misunder standing between the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries, are circumstances whiCh the Americans will turn to account. The revolution of Portugal is additional complication. T A Lor d P.ILMuRSTON amidst those difficulties, appears to the Washington statesmen much less formidable than to the rulers of France. The occasion is certainly favourable to for ward our national interests. Nevertheless, and not withstanding the instructive example set to us by the Government of the United States, everybody anxiously inquires if the honour and industry of France are to expiate the success of our dynastic diplomacy. The strength of the United States lies entirely in the knowledge of the situation of Great Britain. The moment we shall prove to England that we are aware of her difficulties, and that we also mean to have a will of our own, the harshest exigen cies of the cordial understanding will vanish of them selves. The experience of late years has but too well demonstrated that the purchase of the friendship of England at the price it has hitherto cost us would compromise it seriously and for ever." The Minister has suffered a defeat in the election of President and Secretary of the Council General of Paris. Hitherto the Ministerialists have always obtained a majority, but on Monday M. A RAGO was returned as President by a majority of 20 against 17, the number for M. AUBE, the Ministerial candidate. M. LEJEMFTEL was elected Secretary by 22 votes. " This result," observes the Si&le, " was the more significant, as the Prefect of the Seine had used all his influence to prevent the nomination of MM. ARAGO and LEJEMPTEL." According to the Presse the bakers are selling bread in Paris at less than the market price of flour. It adds that flour is extremely scarce in the Paris market, in consequence of the flour millers on the Seine, the Marne, and the Eure, not being able to grind during more than three days in the week, their supply of wheat being short. The stock of flour in Paris has diminished during the last eight days by more than 6,000 metrical quintals. There remain at present in the stores but 10,414 metrical quintals. The average price of wheat in France, which on the 30th of September last was 25f. Ic. the hecto litre, had risen on the 31st of October to 26f. 36c. the hectolitre. The rise still continues in the depart ments of the east and in the neighbourhood of Paris. The price continues nearly stationary in the southern and western provinces. It is to be hoped that the price will speedily be reduced by the import of foreign grain, large quantities of which have arrived at Marseilles. The Journal des Debats gives the fol. lowing extract from a letter written in that city on the 29th ult. : The military impressment still continued in Lisbon, an embargo was laid on all houses, and workmen were employed in putting the lines in a state of defence. Madrid pape , !s of the 29th ult. have arrived. It was reported that Count MUSSON was about to leave Madrid 'on leave of absence. According to the Heraldo, the Government has received information of an intended Carlist rising. The decree dissolving the Cortes was -to appear in the Gaceta•pf the 30th• Rumours of 'a modification of the Ministry were again current in 111adrid. i "There arrived h ere yester d a y 145,154 hectolitres of grain of every description, of which 138,498 hectolitres were of wheat, 4,764 of barley, and 1,89 2 of maize. Of these 145,154 hectolit res o f grain,' 30,6 62 arrive d f rom the kingdom of Naples, by nine Neapolitan and one Roman vessels; 1,220 hectolitres from Genoa, by one French vessel; 6,885 from the Wallaehian ports by one Greek and one lonian vessel; 15,102 from Turkish ports by three Greek, on e R uss i an , and ore Austrian vessels; in fine, 91,315 hectolitres arrived from the Russian ports of the Black Sea by 26 ships, of which two were Russian, one Neapolitan, one Turkish, two Austrian, nine Greek, and 11 Sardinian. The number of vessels which ar rived in this port in one clay laden with grain amounted to 44.

Admiral DUPEREE died on Mon3ay of a disease of the spine. The gallant admiral was in his 72d year. The Portefeuille states that there will be no change in the Ministry before the meeting of the Chambers, but that until that period, at all events, Marshal SOULT will continue President of the Council. The cause of free trade is rapidly progressing in France. The Dibats states that at a meeting of the Association du Libre Echange, which was held on Saturday, the President of the society announced that M. D'HaussorivlLLE, Deputy for Seine and Marne ; the Marquis DE La VALLETTE, Deputy for Dordogne ; M. NICHOLAS KcscuLLN, the largest ma nufacturer in Alsace; Messrs. JEAN and FREDERIC ZURER, who conduct immense manufactures at Mul hausen ; and M. BOSSON, the proprietor of the im mense spinning-works at Boulogne, who employs 1,700 workpeople, had joined the Association. The Moniteur contains a fifth ordonnance, granting money cn account of the losses caused by the inunda tions. A sum of 200,000 francs is allocated to the Minister of Finance, to provide for the derangement of the Post •office service, and to aid the postmasters in their efforts to secure regularity in the dispatch of the mails. The National estimates the damage caused by the inundation at one hundred millions of francs--four millions sterling.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was again rather dull. Sales 5,000 bales, including 500 American fur exportation. American qualities were about l td. per lb. lower than on Friday last, viz. 4d. to 6: 1 2 -d. per lb., Pernams 60. to 711, Surat 4d. to -lid., and Egyptian 7d. to 'lid. per lb. Shares have been better. A number of merchants and others, of the first stand ing and wealth at Liverpool, have formed themselves into a company for carrying out a line of railway be tween Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport. The sound ness and utility of the project is sufficiently attested by the names connected with it. From its locality and cheapness of construction, the line has every prospect of being highly remunerative. As a matter of interest to the manufacturing classes, and having been asked to give publicity to the following resolutions of the merchants, brokers, and others con nected Kith the important trade in Indigo, we give the resolutions recently passed at a meeting of the parties interested. Our country readers will thus be enabled hereafter, with safety, to make their arrangements for attending the periodical sales if they think fit. It was unanimously resolved (Sir George de 11. Larpent in the chair) as follows:- 1. That the periodical sales should take place on The second Tuesday in February, The second Tuesday in May, The second Tuesday in July, and The second Tuesday in October. 2. That no indigo be included in either of the sales, but such as has been on show six working days previ ously to the commencement of such sale. 3. That the new and old goods be kept distinct in separate catalogues, and that, as far as circumstances will admit, separate days be allotted - to the sale of each, commencing with the new goods. 4. That goods previously bought in by, and still in the hands of the importers, but not otherwise, be considered as new goods. 5. That goods previously withdrawn be considered as new goods. 6. That on the day after the deposit prompt of the sales in February, May, and July respectively, the brokers meet to draw lots for their respective stations in the following sale, and to declare their quantities; and that for the February sale the like meeting take place six weeks befbre the day of sale. The commercial advices received this morning from the West Indies are of a most satisfactory character. The rains had been most abundant, and should things go on well, sanguine expectations were entertained that ihe crops of sugar for the season 1846-7 would make up for all the deficiencies of the last two or three years. The market for money nas light, especially in Jsm-iica and Danerara. Much caution was used in making ship ments, except to first. rate houses. . From Mexico we learn that Santa Anna had placed himself at the head of the army, but setiously speal.ing it was held to be but a ruse. There .havo not been received any remittances by arrival for „,„. . _ Connected with East India aff:tirs, it may be men-. Honed here that the report that is current that the directors of the Last India Company have all but unani mously agreed to concede a grand trunk line, has given much satisfaction among parties connected with the India trade; and the belief is in all quarters, that the East India Railway Company will have the preference, as atnong its directors there appears the names of most in fluential persons who are engaged in the. trade to India and China.
