Unless some marvellous and unexpected catas trophe transpires, and that immediately, the evil omened marriage of the Orleans Prince and the Bourbon Princess will in reality be un fait accompli. Whatever may subsequently be the consequences of this calamitous alliance, the English Government will have nocause for self-reproach ; the English protest will be its historical palliation ; the English representatives at the Tuileries and the Escurial will hare acquitted themselves with a dignity, a delicacy, and a discrimination befitting the responsibilities of their office. When these occurrences can be no longer re garded as contemporary, but are matters of political retrospect, the denial of the assertions of Senor ISTURITZ, transmitted by Mr. IlErtair L. BULWER, in a letter to General SERRANO, may be taken as a sufficient testimony of the temperament which then characterised the different Eu ropean Cabinets. Nothing but a most reprehen sible aptitude for the employment of Ministerial hypocrisy could have enabled the leader of the Spanish Administration so far to outstep the limits of social propriety, as well as of Parliamentary discretion, as to misrepresent the language uttered by a foreign ambassador, and the sentiments entertained by a friendly Government. Nothing but a most intense t conviction bf the honesty of the power whose 11_194Wione he was deputed to transmit, and ' of the magnitude of the resources at the disposal of his Sovereign, could have capacitated the British representative at Madrid to 1 en a contra diction combining so much of amenity with so little of compromise or of superfluous conciliation. Upon the spirit of the correspondence published in the Clamor Publico might be decided tin relative can dour and secresy which have latterly distinguished the peninsular and insular diplomacy. Notwithstanding the decisive protest entered against this marriage by Great Britain on interna tional and constitutional grounds, in open defiance of the fundamental stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht, and despite the unmistakeable dissatisfaction ex pressed by the population of the Spanish pro vinces, the melancholy (because ominous) cere monial is being precipitated by every possible device. While the communication of Lord NORMANDY is lying unanswered by M. GUIZOT, the Dukes D'AUMALE and DE MONTPENSIER are passing with an enormous escort from Bayonne to Vittoria, and from Burgos to the capital. While no satisfac tory response is forwarded to the British Embassy by the advisers of ISABELLA 11., the apartments of the Count DE BRESSON are being elaborately decorated for the reception of the bridegroom of the possible Sovereign of the Spanish territories. Infinitely, however, as the Afrancesados may be inclined to congratulate themselves upon the apparently pro pitious consequences of their machinations, they must, on mature consideration, acknowledge the un soundness of their present position, and the probable evanescense of their existing prosperity. While they may rejoice over the patronising serenity with which the Duke of VALENCIA watches their proceedings in the metro polis, have they not cause for trepidation in the sullen tranquillity of the populace ? They demonstrate their temporary puissance by mulcting a sum of 50,000 reals (5001.) from the Eco del Comercio, as a penalty for the boldness of its language, but are there not proclamations of a more incendiary character flying about the valleys of the Pyrenees, calling upon the Basques and Navarrese to rise in behalf of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN ; adjuring them, as they love their nationality, and as they pine for the acknowledgment of their political rights, to de clare for that constitutional liberty which had been previously lost by " the incautious, the credulous, and the docile children of Biscay and Navarre," and proclaiming to the ripened imaginations of the pea santry that " CHARLES VI. is no despot," that he is no antagonist of progress, that he is, on the contrary, desirous of insuring to his people the soundest civil and municipal liberty. These Afrancesados may rejoice in the contemplation of the success which has" hitherto attended their wily undertakings ; but while CHRISTINA and the Duke DR Run- ZARES are tranquilly located in their palace, are there not rumours of the appearance of CARRERA in Valencia ? The cathedral porches may be hung with damask tissue in anticipation of the expected nuptials, the royal brides may be already vesting themselves in their marital garments, and the restricted amnesty by which the twin mar riages are to be commemorated may be al ready prepared for the sign -manual of her most Catholic MAJESTY, but are there not prospects of the Spanish people requiring themselves to be forced to swallow the gilded bolus ? Do not the recent emeutes in the Faubourg St. Antoine show that the French Government may have its own internal embar rassments, for the Journal des Debats appears to have considerable reason in conjecturing that the disturb ances have not originated in any scarcity of pro visions ? There is a hollowness about all these Afrancesado arrangements which promises their speedy subjugation. To say the very least of it, the prosecution of the Montpensier marriage, in open defiance of the British protest, is singularly indica tive of an anxiety on the part of the Gallic Adminis tration to splinter the entente cordiale. If there be honour, and honesty, and security in the consumma tion of these proceedings, how is it that they have been throughout characterised by so much secresy and so much precipitation ? The proper response to that inquiry would ensure to the Spanish people the preservation of their nationality. Another of a sheep which bled a little when its throat was cut. It was therefore a nice article, and fetched 41d. per pound; others spoke of beasts killed just as they were dying of the quarter evil, and sold at 3d. and 3id., and of their being made ill by meat of that description. This would appear a full corroboration of Mr. OSBORNE, so far as the unwholesome meat was concerned. That as to the wages was still more con clusive. One witness, WILLIAM BENNETT, had 7s. a-week in harvest, and his wife, who received his wages, never in any one year received much more than 21. in money for his work, unless when'he had been working for Mr. BLENNERHASSETT, who always paid ready money. Another, WM. BUGLER, received 9s. per week for twenty-four days in the summer, and but 7s. per week for the rest of the year, and had not drawn as much as 21. in money in any' one year. It is needless to go through the mass of evidence brought forward, which clearly established that the rate of wages was not understated, and that it was, to say the least of it, expected that they would take the greater portion of their wages in goods. AGRIPPA GILL, when drawing money, was asked, by Mr. BRAKE, why he did not take the wages out in goods, that he might have them from him (Mr. BRAKE) as well as from any one else, and called him "a ready money chap," which would not do for him (BRAKE). We trust that all those interested in the welfare of the peasantry will read, and attentively consider, the whole of the evidence given, and say if it does not establish the existence of a state of facts which should not be sanctioned or tolerated in a Christian land, in a civilised country. Something must be done to improve the position of the laborious classes, to educate them so that we may not in the nineteenth century hear of such an absurd proceeding as master and man "going TO HAT" on some trivial occasion, and of the belief of the multitude that the person speaking falsely in such a case would moat assuredly lose his sight. We trust that Mr. OSBORNE will persevere in his useful labours. A cure for the evils which he has so forcibly depicted can only be obtained by the force of public opinion, and that can only be excited by full publicity being given to all similar grievances. We also hope that the unfortunate persons who have been called as witnesses may not be hardly dealt with !by their masters for the answers they have conscientiously given in an investigation challenged and demanded by the farmers themselves. Philosophy, as well as experience, from which it is drawn, alike teach, that knowledge, both acquired and prospective, must be considered as a whole. The limited development of the faculties of the human mind compels us, for our own convenience, and the easier mastery over the materials of intelligence, which a spirit of investigation, pursued in every quarter of the world, daily discloses to our view, to classify and arrange the various subjects that must be assiduously prosecuted for the advancement of general civilisation. It is immaterial what science we first light upon, we are sure to find, as we pursue its laws, that it is intimately blended with another of a kindred character, however remotely connected, if not altogether distinct, both the one and the other might have appeared before the subtleties of intelligence had rendered their connexion manifest. If we begin with the study of geology, we are naturally led to the influence of its varied characteristics upon the herbs and fruits of the earth ; by the differences of the latter, we are drawn on to a consideration of the dissimilar climates that prevail in opposite hemi spheres; and by this dissimilarity our minds are raised to the contemplation of the marvellous science of astro nomy. Every species of knowledge, then, is but a part of an entire whole, whereof the several properties bear a close, though, for the time, an imperceptible affinity. Thus, the more we know the more we become sensible of how little we do know, and to the truth of this a most beautiful homage was paid by the great NEWTON himself. A spirit of selfishness has turned a deaf ear to the sound dictates of philo sophy, and, in this way, avarice and ignorance com bined, have created and fostered,hateful monopolies to the direct hindrance of the onward movement of human progress. Happily, the schoolmaster is abroad, and, in this enlightened age, we are con stantly witnessing that the foolish errors of our an cestors are being wisely and promptly repaired. Monopoly is now all but razed to the ground. A great social revolution is at hand. We have read with unfeigned satisfaction the pro ceedings, on Thursday last, of the North Staffordshire Agricultural Society, at Leek. The exhibition answered the just expectation of its promoters. The dinner was attended not only by the principal agri culturists and professional gentlemen, but likewise by the leading manufacturers of the district. The Earl of TALBOT presided. The advice that was tendered, and the .liberal sentiments embodied in the different speeches, reflect the highest honour upon the company, and evince the peculiar energy inherent in our countrymen whenever it is fairly evoked by a peculiar crisis. It is apparent that the agriculturists consider themselves fairly put upon their mettle by the recent change in the corn-laws, and that they will, as they ought, eagerly pursue every method that can, and will, no doubt, be yet further devised, to enable them to keep up a free and honourable competition with the culti vators of foreign soils. Mr. GYBE expatiated with considerable intelligence upon the general advantages of diaining and stall-feeding. This gentleman's lecture of last year upon the former topic has been already, as vouched by the Noble Chairman, productive of much good. The statistics he offered are most interesting, and full of pro mise—to an extent, indeed, that must be quite inspiriting to the hitherto despondent agricul turist. By the system of drainage he recommends —which has been satisfactorily tested, and which is to be regarded only as the commencement of a series of agricultural improvements—there would result, according to the least favourable calculation, an in crease of 10,000,000 quarters of the different kinds of Frain now produced on the arable cultivated lands of Great Britain, and twice as much more by similarly draining the uncultivated lands ! Mr. GYRE exhorted his hearers to stir up their energies, and to exhibit no want of spirit, being convinced that abundant fertility would crown liberal enter prise. Mr. ADDERLET, M.P., related an anecdote which was warmly welcomed with all the propriety of awakened conviction. " Not long ago," said Mr. ADDERLEY, " I went with Mr. COBDE N over his ex tensive mill at Stockport. Mr. COBDEN showed me all the machinery, and pointed out to me the many improvements which lead been effected in almost every department; then taking me into the suburbs, he showed me a field overgrown with thistles, and said, That's the state of your manufacture:— (Cheers and laughter.) I have never since forgot the hint."— (Renewed laughter.) Nothing has tended more to retard improvements connected with the soil than that miserable short sighted policy of landlords, in not giving leases to their tenants of sufficient length to encourage them to invest their capital on the land. This narrow minded spirit was, and, for the most part, is still tenaciously clung to for the purpose of preserving political power, and bolstering up their own sordid interests. The evil has, however, recoiled upon the ungenerous upholders of so obnoxious a system. The staff of monopoly has been already wrenched out of their hands, and they are now left to brace themselves up to the dreaded task of competing with the growers of foreign grains, under disadvantages to which they would never have been subjected, had they acted upon comprehensive and national, instead of petty and in. dividual, views. Lord TALBOT spoke out upon this subject with the becoming frankness, true fearless ness, and generous impulse of a thorough English nobleman : " I have always unreservedly given my opinion on (rue important subject connected with agriculture—and I have not been thanked for it by many—l mean the subject of leases.—(ll ear , hoar.) No man i n hi s senses would expend his c a pit a l on a farm without having some security for that capital coming back to himself or his representatives.—(Tremendous cheers.) And I hero publicly state, that if any tenant of mine will come to me and ask me for a lease, I will grant him one.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) It is absurd—to use no stronger term—to expect me to put my hand into my pocket for money wherewith to speculate, without a fair prospect of that money being returned."—(Cheers.) The landlords of England must con over this lesson, imitate this spirited example, take warning by the past, shake off dull sloth, avail themselves of every light of science, 'especially when confirmed by the fruits of experience, and then they will soon become sensible that they _have only been frightened at An investigation of considerable interest took place at Ryme, in Dorsetshire, on Thursday last. It was not undertaken or conducted by any authority, no official or legal personage presided on the occasion, and yet matters were elicited respecting the condition of the agricultural labourers in that locality the im portance of which cannot be overrated. As there was no person or persons authorised to come to a con clusion, and to bring in a verdict, or publish a report as to the result of the evidence taken, the public must form their own opinions thereon. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the Hon. and Rev. SYDNEY GODOLPHIN OSBORNE, a gentleman who has earned for himself the highest character as a philanthropist, the greatest honour for the disinterested zeal which he has exhibited, in his capacity as a country clergyman, for the amelioration of the condition, the increase of the comforts of the labouring classes, by whom he is surrounded, pub lished a letter on the 24th of August last, in which he exposed several abuses to which the labourers of Ryme and . the surrounding parishes had been sub jected. He called attention to existing laws directed against the practice of master manufacturers being retailers of goods to their workmen, to what is com monly called the truck system, which has ever been found most injurious in its effects upon those of the humbler classes who have been brought within its operation, where the parties purchasing are afraid to question the quality or the price of the goods with which they are supplied by their employers, who would have it in their power to dismiss them from their work in case of any complaints, no matter how well founded. He stated that he found meat which would have been condemned in Newgate Market sold to the labouring poor; that the wages of at least nine out of ten of the labourers in husbandry was paid in the shape of goods, sold to them by their masters, in cluding .meat of the above character ; that the wages of able-bodied, married men was 7s. a week, those of single men and lads, from 16 to 25 years of age, from 2s. 6d. to 65.; that for about two months in the year the mowing and harvest afforded some task work, at which about los. per week, besides an allowance of cider, might be earned, but for which the work must be from five in the morning until seven at night. He then detailed the exorbitant prices they were charged under this truck system fir articles of the worst description. The sheep killed just before they were (to use the labourers' expression) cold dead ; the diseased cows, in like manner, and the flesh retailed to the working men, who were thus obliged to participate in the farmer's loss ; and that it would be hard to find any man who had drawn 21. in money for his wages in any one year. Such a statement proceeding from so trustworthy a source naturally excited great attention. Mr. OSBORNE did not shelter himself under the disguise of a fictitious signature, but manfully gave his name to the world as the author of these charges, which he ' did not bring forward until he had by the strictest examination satisfied himself of their truth. At the end of three weeks a formal contradiction was put forward signed by Mr. DANIEL BRAKE, the principal farmer in Ryme, his son-in-law, his nephew, and two other farmers. Mr. OsnouNz having replied, stating the grounds on which he had made his assertions, was challenged by Mr. BRAKE to a public investigation into the truth thereof before the rector of the parish and a reporter, an offer which was immediately accepted by Mr. OSBORNE, and hence originated the meeting and investigation to which we have alluded. Mr. OSBORNE conducted his own case, while the farmers were re presented by a neighbouring attorney. The wit nesses that were examined were subjected to the strictest cross-examination ; their employers were present, prepared to impeach any exaggerated account, if any such should be offered ; the witnesses who had been examined were kept separate from those who had not as yet given their testimony, in fact every advantage was given to the employers, even to a speech to evidence from their attorney. The proceedings and the evidence have been fully published, and we confess, it appears to us that the statements made have been fully substan tiated. We are told by one witness of a bullock found dead in a ditch, and pulled out by horses. It had been apparently dead for some hours, and yet it wa3 stabbed, and its flesh retailed. Another speaks of mutton —part of a sheep found dead in the fold— salted, and sold to the people at 2d. per pound.

A letter from Venice, of the 25th September, states that one of the three Moncenigo Palaces on the Grand Canal has just been purchased for the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, in his own name, for a sum of 350,000 francs. It was supposed that he would re side in Venice, as it was known that he is about to contract a matrimonial alliance with a Princess of Modena. Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have been received _ • The Afrancesado Ministry still continued their war against the press. The Eco del Comercio was seized on the 28th, before a single number was pub lished, for an article on the blontpensier marriage, and the Government inflicted on its proprietors a fine of 500/., not for publishing, for the Eco was not per mitted to be published, but for daring to form an opinion unpleasing to the ruling powers. The Eco has suspended its publication in consequence. In the Senate, on the 28th, the debate on the col lection of the taxes was continued. In the course of it there was a personal scene between General &A RANO and Senor PIDAL. The General taunted PIDAL with having voted on a former occasion against the MIRAFLORES Ministry from factious motives. PIDAL retorted, and made use of the epithet disloyal, in allu sion to General SzußAxo. The logomachy then waxed fast and furious, until at length the President was obliged to adjourn the Chamber as the only means of putting an end to the disturbance. The matter, however, was amicably arranged ; and on the re sumption of the debate, on the 29th, Senor Mox an nounced that the Government had devised a plan 'for forming a proper provision for the clergy. The de bate was not concluded when the post left. It was reported in Madrid that CABRERA was in the province of Valencia organising his followers pre paratory to an outbreak. The Dukes Ds MONTPENSIER and z'AumALE ar rived at Vittoria on the 3d. They were to leave that city on the morning of the 4th, and are expected to arrive in Madrid on the 6th. The Reraldo says that after the marriage Don FRANCISCO will have the title of King conferred upon him, but that all acts of sovereignty will be in the name of ISABELLA. IL In the same paper we find the following, purporting to be an extract from a letter from Alicant " A person who has arrived here in 36 hours from Gibraltar states that the English squadron, which was at Cadiz on the 24th, had set sail for Tangiers soon after the arrival of the consul from that port. The departure of the British Consul from Tangiers is attributed to some insults having been offered to the English flag." The envoys from the new republic of St. Domingo had arrived at Madrid for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of peace and amity with Spain. MADRID BOLSA, SErr.

There was an attempt on Saturday night to renew the bread riots in the Faubourg St. Antoine, but, like the attempt of the preceding evening, it was speedily suppressed by the authorities. Criminal prosecutions have been commenced against sixty of the rioters who were apprehended on the night of Friday. Great ap prehensions are entertained of famine and scarcity in France, and on this subject M. DE LAMAETINE has written a long letter, which the Debats justly cha racterises as a mixture of excellent ideas and of great blunders. sincerely for his failure, we inform the Government, of this fact, that if sympathy is wanting to the re presentative of the Cabinet, money is in his possession. After having pointed out these errors, it appears to us superfluous to dwell on the sweet and amiable confidence with which the Debats yesterday speaks of the difficulties which this marriage causes to the Government. Diffi culties, it appears, there are none. The intervention of the English Government,' it says, will be confined to a protest full of dignity, and a simple representation * of the consequences that may ensue from the union of a son of the French King with the Infanta: The firm conduct of the French Government begins to produce its effect. The famous volcano, which was daily on the point of bursting out in Spain, has postponed its eruption to an indefinite period. Every morning the correspondents of the English journals open their windows to see the eruption, but do not perceive the smallest rocket.' The journal of the Court was delirious yesterday ; it has already the happy smile and free bear ing of a husband married the day before. We are un willing to trouble its joy : it will have the thirty mil lions, and even perhaps its honeymoon. What we want to call attention to is, that, according to it, the Eng lish Government will confine itself to a protest full of dignity, and that Spain will remain perfectly calm and tranquil. Either we are much mistaken, or this double expectation is the most idle and foolish of illu sions. We are convinced, on the contrary, that the Whigs will not confine themselves to those in offensive protests which are the resources of the weak : we are convinced also, that Spain will overturn the Government which oppresses her, and will assert her independence. The French Ministry has a means to dissipate all these threats—to cause the Infanta and her husband to renounce for them and their descend ants all pretensions to the Spanish throne ; but this means would be so base and cowardly that without doubt it will not be had recourse to. Can it be that this shame is to be endured ? If any other thing is persisted in beyond having a young girl and a rich dowry, the gravest complaints may be expected. This we again repeat, whilst the Debats believes quite the contrary. Events will show which is right." It does not appear that M. GUIZOT has as yet re turned any answer to the protest presented against the Montpensier marriage by the Marquis of NOR, MANBY. The Noble Marquis is at present on a visit to Count MOLE. This fact has given rise to much speculation. 'lt is said that King Louis PHILIPPE has invited M. THIERS to deliver his opinion on the affair of the marriage, which is so likely to create a coolness between England and France. The Univers says— " A fact, which the fear of compromising the party by whom it was communicated prevents us from publish ing at this moment, but which is not the less true, and which cannot fail to become public, demonstrates to us that the Ministers, at the moment when they are boast ing fiercely of having acted against the wishes of Eng land in the affair of the marriages, continue to bend before her on another question which truly interests the national honour. Let some new complication occur— such as Pritchard or the right of search—and France shall be made acquainted with the secret articles of the Duke de Montpensier's marriage contract." Although the Univers is the organ of the high church party in France, yet, as its articles are not articles of faith, we may venture to express a doubt as to the authenticity of this statement. We hope that it is true, and that there are secret articles intro duced in the marriage contract, which when made public will obviate the grave objections which at pre sent exist to the match. Queen CHRISTINA does not return to Paris with her daughter and the Duc DE MQNTPENSIER, she will remain for' some time longer in Madrid, where she will be joined by the Duke of RIANZERES and her children. The Ddbats of Sunday has the following article, written evidently in order to calm the existing excite ment : The Carlist refugees residing on the frontiers have been all ordered into the interior of France. The Journal des Debats says:— " There are at present in the citadel of Blaye, fifteen Spanish superior officers and ecclesiastics, retained pri soners provisionally. Another Spanish Carlist has been arrested in his lodgings in Bordeaux and conveyed to the same destination." According to the Siecle, bread riots have broken out in several of the departments, and in many in stances the troops have been obliged to fire on the pea sants before order could be restored. The squadron under the command of the Prince DE JOIN VILLE has returned to Toulon. " The disorder which for the last few nights has reigned in one of the faubourgs of Paris, has not been of a very serious character. The rise in the price of bread was probably but the pretext for it ; public atten tion has nevertheless been called to the subject, and the question has arisen whether or not alarm may be felt at the result of the late harvest, and as to what the Go vernment might and should do in supposing it had to interfere. In the first place, what has taken place at the shops of certain bakers proves nothing. One or two of the bakers, when asked for bread, had no more ; not that they had made a less quantity on that day, for want of flour, but because they had sold a larger quantity during the day. In the second place, no alarm should be felt, were it not only that because alarm would not cause an hectolitre more wheat :to come to us, and would rather cause that which was on its road to be stopped, supposing that we were in want of it. Besides, the country is in no way exposed to a want of food. Under this idea there is not even a shadow of danger. A magnificent harvest has been expected from one end of the kingdom to the other. To the great astonishment of all the world, the crop, after being thrashed, has been found to be but middling, rather below than over an average quantity, but, however, of a quality superior to that of years of scarcity. A disap pointment has consequently been felt generally as to the quantity. Nothing more than this was necessary to cause a rise in the price of corn, and for parties to speculate on an advance. But nothing can less resemble a country exposed to famine than France with the harvest which she has just had. There is only one country in Europe in which famine has made its appearance, and that is Ireland. But the misfor tune of Ireland does not solely arise from the want l m of corn. Th e I r i s h are not fed on corn ; t h ey consume potatoes ; and, by a cruel fatality, that unnappy country this year ha s had its crop of potat oes entirely de stroyedwhich r a n h e as e haaalso therefore been abun dance felt i n of corn. Besides wheat, it has oth er gra i n , an d also pot a t oes . Th e worst that co u ld arr i ve would b e, that th e nort h o f F r ance, which cont r ib utes to the supp l y almost every evbeyry the part disease E as u e rop eF . of the south, should keep for themselves a part of what is generally sent to that part of the country. But in case of that happening, it is known that the Mediter ranean is rich in corn-growing countries. The wheat of the North Sea can furnish us at a moderate price. Such is the real state of the case ; and we ask of any man of sense whether there is any cause for alarm ? Paris, in particular, has its supplies as well secured as in former years. Th e env irons of Paris are among the n u mb e r o f those part s o f the country where the harv es t h as b een the most abundant. The ordinary measures which cause Paris to be one of the points of the globe where bread is found in the greatest abundance have never ceased to be in operation. Paris is the city of France and of the world, where disturbances on account of corn are the most without any pretext." On the subject of the affairs of Spain, the Journal des Debats declares that Count MONTEMOLIN was in London on the 30th September, and that he had dined with ESPARTERO, who had endeavoured to persuade the son of Don CARLOS to become a constitutional monarch. With regard to the whereabout of the Count on th e 30t h ult., it i s extremely improbable that it should have been London, seeing that his par tisans have always denied that he has ever been in London, and that a proclamation, published by him, and which will be found in another column, is dated Sept. 14, from the foot of the Pyrenees. As to the story of his dining with ESPARTERO, we think we may venture at once to state that it is a pure fabrica tion. Very little reliance can be placed on anything which appears in the French Ministerial papers on the subject of Spanish affairs. As the National most truthfully observes, " It will soon be sufficient for a piece of news to be announced in the Ministerial journals to cause it to be doubted. How many histories, fabricated at leisure, and tion? F afterwards prov e d t o b e false, have they not published since theMontpen s i er affair has occupied public atten irst of all, England a greed;be exp ecte d to pout, -but wou ld next, she was to say nothing; after that, she spoke, but only . to express a simple friendly dissent; at last she protested, but against consequences that were distant, eventual, and improbable! It was necessary for us to give an exact analysis of the document, and to quote some of the expressions to induce persons to acknowledge the true character of this note, the measured and polite terms of which left all its tra nsparence to the sentiment of distrust and deep ho s tili ty which inspired it. Have they been more exact relati ve t o t h e movement of duet of men ? No, the Published ta the C and Progressistas h a d for they published that the Carlists and Progressistas had formed parties and the con an allianc h e, t and that arlists a mon strous coalition would be seen. Nothing was more false than this news, and the Ministry knew it to be so at the moment it endeavoured to make the public swallow it. However, they persisted, and to add to the lie, announced pompously th at C abrera had dined on a particular day with Esp ar t ero . We did not take the trouble to contra dict so stupid a calumny; but there are people with whom stupidity alone succeeds. Finally, the Debats lately stated that the son of Don Carlos had had an interview with weroeffincaiamlleyd'affirmed; W e had Prince L ou i s N apoleon, and the place, day, and hour which bad braedviefwo; rtuonreme n i t o was,distrust however,of a j pieceus just as asintelligenceall so the rest. W e are at present requested to state that Centre,never s aw anhdi i n. Prince Louis i s not acquainted with the son of Don Carlos, th a t h e d oes not know where he is, and that he lates in its t urn t h e history of the negotiations connected with the m arr i age in that tone peculiar to Ministerial has rly latelyfaith faithful a t v o e r t h t e e d , L r e e f ! confidences; the account is garbled from one end to the other. It is there also stated that Montemolin did not succeed in contracting a loan, and that he could scrape together but 25,000/, We know positively that these 25,0001. were his own property, and that before leaving London the son of Don Carlos had secured all the financial means which he might want for the rising which he meditated. As wo pray most The French Three per Cents. were weak on Sunday in the Passage de I'Opera. They were done at 82E 80c., and rather sellers that buyers.

THE WEST INDIA MAILS.—The Royal Mail steam ship Medway, with the Mails from the West Indies and Mexico, arrived off Southampton at nine o'clock this morning. SOUTH AMERICA. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) The peace and harmony which have been recently re established between the republics of New Granada and Ecuador are threatened to be again interrupted, through the intrigues of the Spanish Government, who are con niving at, if not encouraging, General Flores, ex-Presi dent of the latter state, in fitting out an expedition for the purpose, ostensibly, of placing him again in the Pre pislent's chair, but suspicions attach to the undertaking of Spain entertaining some idea of asserting her claim, and 'again establishing her dominion over it : if she succeeds in that, she will very shortly follow up her views by seizing on New Granada and Venezuela. It is very evident that General Flores must have some underhand support, and a supply of the sinews of war from some unknown quarter. In the Cortes, the Minister of War, in reply to a asserted ud ro tz, swith assertiont Generalhat the Spanish wpii tohr e s ,8 Go vernmentex- ex pedition ;r egard to the opposition of our Government to the marriage of the Queen, who can.put any faith in any assertions of ciues . t . in p h u b a t u d t b y aft a e nothing r D m ep . o t t i 'y o: t the Spanish Ministry ? At all events the only convin cing proof they can give of not being concerned in it, is to put a stop to it, and order General Flores out of the kingdom. Reports are very rife that the above General has agents iin Ireland to raise recruits for him, under the cloak of hiring them as agricultural labourers, but it is to be hoped the Irish peasants, notwithstanding their present destitute state, will not be the dupes of General Flores's agents, and plunge themselves into still greater difficulties, danger, and destitution. The object of General Flores, if attained, will plunge all the South American Republics into the greatest anar chy and confusion —renewing those horrid scenes of bloodshed and butchery, which have been so recently put an end to—and annihilate the good understanding and mutual confidence now restored amongst them. Besides, should that part of South America be again plunged into the gulph of civil war, it will prove highly injurious to the commerce and shipping of all European States, and likewise of the United States of North America, consequently it becomes the duty of their re spective Governments to do all in their power to frustrate the views of an adventurer, and to undeceive the Go vernment of Spain, by showing that they are not indiffer ent to the well-being of her ci-devarot colonies, but now independent Republics. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.— Yesterday a general meeting of the subscribers of the above society was holden at the London Tavern, fur the election of two men and two women, additional candi dates on the fund for providing a permanent relief to decayed artizans, mechanics, manufacturers, tradesmen, and the widows of such persons, above sixty years of age; Luke James Hansard, Esq., presided. Indepen dently of yesterday's election, there are on the list fifty-five recipients, from sixty to ninety years of age. The.males receive 1/. 1 ls. and the females 1/. 2s. per month. The business of the day having been concluded, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. PAST-OFFICE NOTlCES.—Yesterday the following notice relative to the departure of the foreign mails was announced at St. Martin's-le-Grand :—The mails dis embarked in consequence of damage sustained by her Majesty's steamer Bulldog, having returned to London, the letters addressed to the Cape of Good Hope will be forwarded by the ship Lady Flora, which is appointed to sail from Portsmouth on the 6th instant, and the letters for Lisbon will be forwarded by the Peninsular mail of the 9th instant. ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS.—Last night a quarterly general Court of the Governors of this institution, was held at the offices of the Secretary, Mr. Thisselton, No. 7, Bloomsbury-place, Bloomsbury, for the purpose of electing a treasurer in the room of Sir David Pollock, senior, recently appointed Chief Justice of Bombay. James Savage, Esq., was in the chair. After the general and preliminary business of the meet ing had been gone through, it was moved and seconded, and carried unanimously "That Benjamin Bond Cab bell, Esq., F.R.S., M.P. for St. Alban's, be appointed treasurer, in the room of Sir David Pollock." Mr. Cab bell having intimated his willingness to accept the office, a vote of thanks was voted to the chairman, and there being no other business before the Court it broke up. FATAL RENCONTRE.—An inquest was On Satur day resumed and concluded at Harefield, near Uxbridge, on the body of William Norman, a steersman in a canal boat plying on the Grand Junction Canal. The deceased, it appeared, had had some disagreement with a man named James Carpenter, who was in the employ of the Canal Company, respecting his not having one of the locks ready. A quarrel at length ensued, and they agreed to settle their differences by a pitched battle, and retired into a field for that purpose. They fought seve ral rounds, and at length Norman fell, and on some per sons going to his assistance it was found that he was dead. The surgeon deposed that in his opinion death had been occasioned by a blow or a fall, thereby causing concussion of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Carpenter.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 10,000 bales, including 3,000 American and 2,000 Surat on speculation. The market is firm, prices are not higher, though American sorts are difficult to buy at previous rates. There are no late arrivals to-day from any quarter. The Discount Market appears to be rising. The re venue returns are looked for with interest. In the " Commercial Magazine," a very ably con- ducted work for information and reference to business persons, there is an article devoted to the exposure of the practices of " London bill-swindlers." The extract now made from the publication is worth attentive perusal and remembrance : " We regret to find that several manufacturers and large tradesmen have been recently swindled by fic titious bills of exchange, passed upon them by small dealers in the country who have become embarrassed by railway speculations, and have adopted this method of supporting their credit! As it may be useful to keep our readers informed of the plan of operations carried on by the bill swindlers and their accomplices, who pass the bills into circulation, we may briefly describe the manner in which this is effected. " There are two or three parties in London—we do not think they are very numerous—who manufacture fictitious bills. They have a printed circular, offering to accommodate tradesmen with bills of exchange, bearing all the appearance of genuine business bills, and such as they might get discounted by their bankers, or pass away in paytnent to their creditors, without excitin g suspicion. These bills the swindlers offer to send to any party requiring them on receiving five per cent. on the amount and the price of the stamp. The manufacturers of the bills send circulars to small tradesmen in all the chief towns in the country, pointing out the facilities afforded for obtaining temporary credit by means of these accommodation bills; and as the writers of the circular do not pay the postage, they are enabled to make their swindling concern known at a very little expense." The Indigo sales have begun this morning. It is yet too early to give an opinion as to the result. Consols for the Account have been heavy at 951 while for Money the price has ruled from 951 to 95k. East India Bonds are at 28s. premiun, India Stock at 2581, and Exchequer-bills at 15s. to 18s. premium. The only business in the Foreigh Stocks to• day has peen in Brazilian at 85, in the Mexican Five per Cents. at 25k, in the Portuguese Tour per Cents, at 414, in Spanish Passives at 54 4, and in Dutch Two-and- a- Half per Cents., at 59.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF A Boy.—On Monday shocking accident occurred to a boy, about ten years 0 age, at the colliery of Messrs. Davis, Rounds-green , under the following circumstances:—lle had been in th e habit of amusing himself in the very dangerous practice of riding on a flat chain, proceeding from the pit to the drum barr e l a t t h e eng i ne. It came near to the green and the b o y wou ld get on the top, where he sat until 1, got near th e d rum b arrel, when he leaped off. Abou t eleven o'clock on the day in question, the boy w, es ordered aw a y b y J o h n Turner, the engine-man, but he refused, and h a d t o b e beaten before he would comPlP In about half an hour after he returned with two of h l5 companions, and, taking advantage of the absence of the engine-man, who had gone to put coals on the fire ' again mounted the chain. Unfortunately, however, be neglected to leap off in time, and was carried round the drum barrel, where lie was almost literally cut in two The cries of th e b oy and his two companions at lengt h o reached the engine-man, who stopped the engine quickly as possible, butlong before the boy had breathe' his last. On Tuesday an inquest was held at the hous e of Mr. Sadler, Rounds-green, before George, Hinebliffe, Esq., when a verdict of " Accidental death" was re turned.—Birmingham Journal. f There was lately picked up in th e s tr ee t s o f Exete r an order up on th e Q ueen of Spain for the payment ° f 200'. in favour o f M r.
