With the Archduke JOSEPH', Hungary has lost one of her most wise and beneficent Palatines, and Austria one of her most patriotic and intelligent princes. Amidst all the imperial igncrance and po litical retrogression of those territories, while the in stitutions of the country were falling into an almost irreparable state of dilapidation, and the antiquated principles of the feudal ages were gaining new advo cates in the Cabinet of Vienna, the views of this lamented Governor were ever cf a liberal and generous character. Re was not unquestionably enlightened proportionately w i t h the advancement of European civilisation, but as a solitary advocate of those con stitutibnal concessions which are rendered periodically necessary by the development of the popular intellect, and the alteration of circumstances, but which never andtheless were blindly opposed by th e bigotry hereditary despotism of his Princely brethren, the late Palatine of Husicaar has .aterul remembrance of always sorrowful to re ler who has acquired the •ho has invariably evinced )piness and to ensure the population. It is al 'egret to contemplate a remembered at the same time that its recent occupant was illustrious as a national benefactor. But it is peculiarly sorrow ful, peculiarly matter for regret, when we are con scious that the excellence and efficiency of the suc cessor of the deceased is rendered more than ever dubious by the fact of the Palatine being elective instead of hereditary. In the course of nature the anointed head is hardly swathed in its shroud, the new escutcheon barely hung upon the mausoleum, be fore the eyes of a community are turned with mingled anxiety and curiosity to the quarter whence the suc ceeding ruler is most likely to appear. However such may jar upon our susceptibilities, it is solely the consequence of one of the most divine of ordinances ; it is the fulfilment of that mysterious scheme, both in the moral and physical world, which the Poet of Poets has defined, where he says, " All things are recreated." At this moment the destinies not merely of Hungary, but of the Germanic body likewise, are to a considerable extent dependent upon the selection which must be made from the four candi dates offered by the Crown to the discrimination of the Diet. 'With that selection may be decided the social and political retrogression or advance ment of many millions of the human race, because it is mainly upon the impetus afforded to, or the obstruc tion raised against, the supreme councils by his Im perial Highness the Prince Palatine of HUNGARY that the condition and prospects of that vast empire are'dependent. The astonishing influence thus acquired by the Hungarians, and the uniformity with which, during the last quarter of a century, that influence has been exerted in behalf of enlightenment and political eman cipation, are principally attributable to the intel ligence, the independence, and the benignity of the late Archduke Josurn. We are, therefore, most so licitous that that influence and liberality may not be lost by the election of an incompetent candidate; we are most desirous that the successor of so eminent and laud able a representative (of the EMPEROR should in some measure be endowed with similar qualities. Two of the four candidates for the Palatinate are already ru moured Prince ESTERHAZY and the Archduke STEPHEN. The Archduke STEPHEN will unques tionably be nominated as a claimant upon the atten tion of fhe Diet, and there is but little question that his claims to their favour will be sufficiently substantiated to ensure his election. Sincerely do we hope that such may be the result of the approach ing deliberation. A fitter successor to the Archduke JOSEPH could scarcely be discovered in the central districts of the Continent than his son the Archduke STEPHEN, at present Governor of Bohemia. Imbued with as earnest an anxiety for the regeneration of hi s country, and gifted with more eminent abilities for the fulfilment of that high ambition ; possessed of more youthful energies, and master already of the enthusiasm of the Hungarians, this Prince would, if declared the Lord-Lieutenant of that province, be the almost certain instrument of the social liberation of the people, and of the healthy consolidation of the powers of that enormous empire. Identified even now with the cause of free trade, Hungary would thus be enabled to declare herself definitely in favour of the total removal of restrictive imnposts, and thereby disseminate those noble principles of political economy among surround ing states. Should such be the case, as would be almost inevitable on the elevation of the Archduke STEPHEN to the vacant authority, we should, in time, be enabled to enter upon a system of reciprocal benefit with the population of those dominions. Our merchandise would be freely introduced to the ports situated on the Baltic, from Oldenburg to Pomerania, and further eastwards to Russia, from Otterndorf to Dollart, and south-westwards to the Zuider Zee. Of this consequence there would be every assurance on the nomination of his Imperial Highness the Archduke STEPHEN] to the dignity of Palatine of Hungary. Of that nomination there is now happily but little question. All Hungary, all Austria, all Europe, are looking with confidence for this welcome announcement. We shall, however, be filled with anxiety until the arrival of the intelligence. which we have adverted. The Premier sp€aks of tha hopes and expectations of himself and his colleagues, "that landed proprietors would have commenced works of drainage, and other improvements on their own account—thus employing the people on their own estates, and rendering the land more productive for the future." Had that been the case, it would only be the surplus labour which would have been employed on the roads, and other works not immediately profitable. His Lordship then explains that the Act was put into operation in a different spirit from that intended, that it was taken for granted that the public works were the chief ob jects to be regarded, in place of being merely auxi liary to private exertion and private expenditure, and he explains how, although lamenting the wrong direction in which the Act had been turned, they yet sanctioned the deviation from the law and the ad vance of money for private works of a beneficial cha racter. He shows the utter impossibility and the impolicy of any attempt by the Executive to maintain the usual price of food in a season of scar city that affects all European nations; that the at tempt to feed one part might, if successful, starve another part of the people ; and that, therefore, Ell that has been attempted by the Government has been to endeavour to create a provision trade, at fair mercantile prices, where no provision trade has hitherto existed, and where, without assistance, none might be willing to undertake a new and un popular occupation. Having thus stated the lengths to which the Government have gone, or are prepared to go, on this most difficult and perplexing question, his Lordship points out, in a masterly manner, that what cannot he done by the State may be achieved by individual and social exertions. He gssumes, as the fable mentions HERCULES to have done to the waggoner, that the proprietors must put their own shoulders to the wheel—must exert themselves strenuously for the mitigation of the evil; that there is nothing to prevent them from purchasing pro visions and disposing of the supplies so obtained at cheap and reasonable rates. This has already been done with good effect in Scotland, and may be had recourse to in Ireland with the most beneficial results. So far relates to the present exi gencies of the country. The rest of the letter ap plies to other questions for the future, to which the attention of landed proprietors may most usefully be directed, but which our space for the present forbids our entering on. Most sincerely do we hope that a National Committee will speedily give the suggestions of his Lordship that full consideration which their importance demands, and that local committees, com municating with the central body, may ascertain the presence of distress, measure the wants of the several d isi ricts, and prevent all waste or misapplication of the resources of the country. IChe following extract of a letter from Lemberg of the 18th October appears in the Frankfort German Jou. rnal : g' Detachments of cavalry, commanded by a sub- Lie tatenant, and accompanied by a clergyman, have been sen tc to scour the high roads of Gallicia. They have orders to shoot immediately all individuals who shall res• Ist them, or refuse to obey their injunctions. The clef gyman is to administer to them the sacraments of the church. Similar patrols are likewise met along the fro itiers of Hungary, watching the movements of the ref wees. The peasantry are directed by artful and in telligent men, amongst whom was supposed to be M. Ed ward Dembowski, foriher Secretary of the Minister cf the Interior at Cracow." 1 'he Congress of the Zollverein has increased the imp( Irt duty on flaxen and hempen threads, but has refm ed to impose a prohibitory duty on cotton thread• According to the latest accounts everything was quiet in Geneva. M. FAZEZ-PASTEUR has beEn elect€ President of the Grand Council by a large maim ity. The• intelligence from Portugal is to the 24th ult• The in Si irrection was still unsuppressed in Oporto, where the Di Lke DE TERCEIRA and his suite had been re moved from the Castle of the Foz to the prison of the Relac lc . The mouth of the Douro was declared blocka ,ded by royal decree. Evora had pronounced in fa ,v our of the Oporto insurgent!, and Bra 22 an Pennafiel had nronounced in Lisbon continued faithful to the Government, and the en t't )lment of the volunteer battalions was com pleted. It is said the KING has given up the idea of taking 'the command of the troops. The force ordered to adv: to ce against Oporto consists of 2,000 men. At this the insurgents laugh, as they hare 8,000 men in garris( )r there to support them. The Conde DAS ANTAS is still advancing on Lisbon. The I)iario publis - the following letter, said to have been ad dresse 3 by him to the QUEEN :- " M a, lame,--Your Majesty has deigned to charge me with tl 3( pacification of the Minho, to which I have de voted i oyself with zeal in order that I might duly re spond t 4 ) your Majesty's confidence. I learned at Braga that ye. , 1r Majesty has resolved to call to your councils new n nisters ; and I was also informed of the landing and in../ Tisonment of several illustrious Generals. After the vit d ent commotion in the Minho, the least aggra vation excites the effervescence of men's minds, and lets lc o: ;e their passions ; and the least hesitation on my pa rt to place myself at the head of the people and a cc 'ept the presidency of the junta, which has been c if red to me, would have given birth to a civil war and ca a ied the ruin of the northern provinces. To iden tify th 3 army with the people has been, Madame, my predor; ii nant idea, for I have considered the army as an elemen t of order, as the support of the throne and of libeii y, and as entirely distinct from all party. Under t hese difficult circumstances, I have judged it to be si ise and politic to direct every effort to the defent :e of the throne and the country. This is what . 1 have now done, always done, and will contin u e to do. Y our M a j es ty, i n y our hi g h wisdo 33 , will appreciate my conduct, and render justice to the r urity of my intentions. I glory in having served, as wel 1 as :I know how to serve. It has been by this that I have merited the consideration and favours of yous M ajesty's father, my protector, my friend, and my general , eternally regretted. I would sacrifice to your Maje st y all that is dear to honour upon earth. I re gret, 3 ladame, that my services are not greater. I lay them i dl at the foot of your throne, entreating, with the majo ri ty of the Portuguese, that your Majesty will gran t the wishes and wants of the nation. May God pres er ve the precious life of your Majesty, as is the de sire of every good Portuguese." Madrid papers of the 24th, 25th, and 26th have bed. It is said that the Portuguese question has caused split in the Cabinet, and that General SANZ has iclered his resignation. This looks like non•inter ence, for General SANZ has always been in favour un armed intervention in Portuguese affairs. The Gaceta of the 24th contains an ordonnance, ap pointing Major-General JOSE DE OZORES, Seno, de RumANos, Commander of the Corps of Halber dic Ts, in the room of General PALAFOX, Duke of Sa. tgossa. The presence of the gallant defender of Sai gossa must have been a terrible eye-sore to Count BR 2 ssoN, and v►e are not therefore surprised at his rep 1 3val by the Afrancesados. `_ V he Espanol observes, as a curious coincidence, tha t the Marquis of CASTELDORIIIS, whose house owes its ti tle of grandees of Spain to one of his ancestors hay ii ig been the first person who saluted as King of Sp(ii n the French Prince who was the origin of the bons of Spain, died the day the Duke of MONT PE/ it lER was wedded to the INFANTA. 511 le expedition of General FLORES sails, it is said, in Lb e beginning of the next month. al le accounts from Portugal in these papers are very contradictory.

It THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1846. is the business iktr Government not to terget tins sacred duty, and we see with pleasure that it not only of itself is busied about this affair, but accords all its support to the delegates. On Wednesday, Mr. Heming, president, and Messrs. Chard and Henderson, members of the English deputation, who are p-o -ceeding to Madrid to prosecute this affair, in the in terest of all the creditors of Spain, had the honour of an audience from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and received from him the moat positive assurances es' assistance. After having communicated to the dele gates of the other committees the result of their inter view, they sent to the Minister the following letter Sir,—Permit us to express to you our gratitude and sincere thanks for the reception, at once flattering and favourable, which your Excellency was pleased to give us when we appeared before you, as the representatives of the foreign creditors of Spain. We reckon on the pro mise of your assistance as on the representations already addressed on your own part to the Spanish Government, for the success of our just cause, and thereby your Excel lency will have assured to your country the gratitude, thanks, and goodwill of a crowd of persons of all coun tries interested in the Spanish debt. We have to add that a meeting, at which the delegates of the committees of France, Belgium, and Holland were present, it was unanimously resolved to express to your Excellency the part which they took in the satisfaction which we felt after having been received by you.'" The National thus admirably turns to account the admissions made by the Debats in an article on the affairs of Portugal, a translation of which we gave in The Sun of Saturday We may come to an understanding with the Journal des Debats, for there are days on which it approaches much nearer to the National than to royalty, Here is a good augury. , In its number of yesterday it expressed itself with regard to the Queen of Portugal, and more particularly to the band of reactionaries at Lisbon, with an extremely gracious tergiversation. It said, Donna Maria is an imprudent Princess, who may lose her crown in the game she is playing ! and the Debate. adds, We shall not grieve!' This gives us some hopes for the events to happen. The principles of the Debate are so sound that they may be carried a long way without spoiling—they may cross the Estramadura, and be appli cable at Madrid as well as at Lisbon. This journal is indignant, because the constita'ion has been destroyed. and the freedom of the press and the liberty of the sub jest no longer exist in Portugal. The Debate becomes absolutely f rious azairst these coups d'autorite, which suppress the constitutional guarantees. We hasten to accept and acknowledge these fine sentiments, but require that they should he generalised. What is imprudent in a Princess of the house of Bracranza cannot be g god and laudable in a Princess of the house of Bourbon. If Donna Maria deserves to lose her crown for having destroyed a constitution and anni hilated the liberty of the subject and the freedom of the press, what does Maria Christina deserve for having done as much or worse in Spain ? To give a little lift to the logic of the Debate, v. e humbly request it to tell us whether Maria Christina and her friends at Madrid, have had nothing to do with the coup d'autorite which it now condemns. Can this journal, so well informed as it is, be ignorant that Gonzales 11 avo and Costa Cabral have entered into this conspiracy ? Does it not know with how much enthusiasm this audacious act was re ceived in the Palace of Madrid ? Has it not read in the Heraldo and the Spanish correspondence. manufactured under the eye of M. Guizot, how much felicitation there has been on the success of this measure, which is of a nature to give great annoyance to England ?' If we were not afraid of appearing to he too urgent and in discreet, we should venture to ask the Debats by what generous hand it was that 6,000,000 of reals were re mitted to Queen Donna Maria or her agents—a sum deemed necessary to accomplish this glorious task ? M. Guizot had nothing to do with this. neither had Mdme. Munoz, nor her husband, and M. Bresson, who is inno cence itself, has never been consulted, nor knew a word about what was going on. Our Government detests coun ter-revolutions—particularly when they fail; and it is so ill served by its agents,that they always leave a bit of their skirts when they go into bad places, where they have no business to be. This is fatality. M. Guizot did not r. ceive M. Saldanha on his way through Paris. If he had received him, he would most assuredly have diverted him from all ideas of conspiracy. And yet, from the 15th of August to the 6th of September, and particularly during the days immediately preceding the nocturnal trap at Lisbon, the principal actors in this drama were in constant conferences with the French legation. Dietz the Marquis de Fronteira, the Duke de Terceira, Sal danha himself, all non-official personages. had inter views with M. do Rouen, our Chare 6 d'Affaires at Lisbon. He undoubtedly preached to them due respect to the constit ition and loyalty of conduct, and equally. no doubt, was in accord upon this point with th, Spanish legation, which Gonzales Bravo left behind him. and which showed itself so active in favour of liberty. M. de Roueu himself has been so perfectly obliging to a friendly Government, that, informed as he was of all that was plotting in the Pelee e he could not conceal it from the Duke de Palmella, in an interview he had with him only a few days before the famous night of the 6th of September. If by any chance M. de Rouen had been consulted individually by any person connected with the Bank of Lisbon, we are con vinced he would have replied—' Assist in strength ening this Ministry: it has the e lements of durability.' we,.now ear it would have been displeasing to M. Guizot for him to have meddled in these intrigues, which have brought Portugal to the point at which she has arrived. Thus, it is well understood, M. Guizot at this hour condemns ell that has been done. The Spa nish Government, with which M. Gu"sot was carrying on such tender courtship, is also as great a stranger as himself to this imbroglio, of which the Debate can corn prehend nothinee Costa Cabral, received with so much favour at Madrid, has taken no part in what has hap pened. Donna Maria, who was so much in want of money, receives no supplies from any one. And yet our Cabinet was struck with surprise and grief when it heard of the trap! All this is clearly demonstrated by the Debats, and it has a decisive reason, for the National, speaking a few days ago about Saldanha, declared that neither his words nor his actions warranted a belief that he was guilty of an act of treason so infamous. What! because Saldanha may have seen other persons in Paris, does it follow that he did not see M. G u i zot? What an overwhelming argument! It destroys, without reply, all the acts of complicity we have related ! Come ! come! Let us have a little good faith ! Remember what your friends at Madrid said and printed on hearing the first news of the event. Remember that the counter revolution, fortunate at Lisbon, helped you in confirm ing the power of Maria Christina which you wished to consolidate. It is not right to be so harsh towards an audacity so devoted, and the worship of success ought not to be carried to the extent of cynicism," On Thursday the KING gave a grand banquet at St. Cloud, in honour of the sixth anniversary of the formation of the Soult-Guizot Ministry. On this subject the Constitutionnel remarks— "lt has been reported during the last few days that the accession of M. Guizot to the Presidentship of the Council was to take place yesterday, Oct. 29, the anni versary of the formation of the Ministry. But the Moniteur, and the semi-official journals, say nothing about it. It was also said that a great:movement wa. about to take place in the prefectures. The prefects who had shown most personal activity in the electoral struggle were to obtain advancement, and it was pro posed to disgrace those who had not manifested sufficient activity and zeal, or who had allowed themselves to be borne down by public opinion; others, again, were to be placed on the retired list for age or ill-health. But it appears that the greater number of these plans have been _abandoned, and that only a few changes will take place." The Prince DE JOINVILLE and Admiral DUPETIT TIIOUARS had each long interviews with M. GUIZOT on Saturday. It is said that it was determined at those interviews that the French fleet in the Mediter ranean should be strengthened. All the Opposition journals of Saturday are very severe in their remarks on the royal ordonnance open ing to M. GUIzOT an extraordinary credit of 300,000 f. for secret expenses. The following are the observa tions of the National-- " The day before yesterday we reproached the Minis ter with the miserable parsimony of the first suns given to succour immense of icti ins. Nearly three months still separate us from the meeting of the Chambers, and when they have met, six weeks at least will elapse before the Bill destined to repair so many disasters shall have passed. It is, therefore, an interval of nearly five months which the Ministry has proposed to fill up with this alms, destined to so numerous a population reduced to the severest extremities ! But of what do - we complain ? It is constitutional scruples that have paralysed the generous heert of the Cabinet. It feared to encroach on Parliament by ordonnances. What a noble reserve! The Moniteur of yesterday has appeared expressly to confirm it. A few days back M. Guizot had an extraordinary credit co!' 200,000 E, voted for the expenses of couriers and diplo matic missions. The sum voted by the Budget was, however, sufficiently large, but it has been exceeded by 200,000 f. But they were marrying the Duke de Mont pensier, and as he was going to touch a dowry of thirty millions, it w as j ust that France should commence by pay ing the expensesofextraordinarycouriers. However,a sum of 200,000 f, i 3 somewhat dear, and many a man can be sent from Paris to Madrid for that amount. At present we have a very different thing! The Moniteur adjudges to M. G ui zet a new credit, accounted for in these terms: Consi dering that circumstances have given occasion in the course of the year for extraordinary secret expenses which could not be foreseen when the Budget was voted, there is now opened to our Minister of Foreign Affairs an extraordinary credit of 300,000 f., for an urgent service, the expenses of which shall be the object of a special chapter, entitled Extraordinary Secret Expenses.' What, then, are the circumstances which have given occasion for extraordinary sec ret expenses ? What is the work of darkness and shameful police which M. Guizot is anxious to hide from every eye ? The secret funds necessary for his department were largely voted ; he spent them all, and then lie wants 300,000 f. additional ! What to do ? Do negotiations, conducted with honesty, demand so great a prodigality of espionage? The Queen has consented with transport to her sister's marriage ; the vote of the Cortes was a free one; M. Bresson's hands are pare, and already the credit relative to messengers and missions hare been doubled. What, then, rematns to be paid ? To whom is this money of the public treasury wasto b e it fl n u e n cVssa W ry ha t t o Where have they exercised their functions? For what re m cr a u k i e tm ? en l t v o h f en ci c i e pl i t i n a a ve ai t c he n 3 Te c c o ' m fa e r d; object? In what interest for France ? It is hoped to l alt 1,,,w3 of * 33 n! ,, i ch hay , pro vidNi for ease. of urgency, permit the credits to be proportioned to the wants. But that supposes that the wants are I known ; here, on the contrary, it is shameful wants, un derhand dealing! Let us be told what purse may be henceforward pledged to the arbitrary will and waste of the public money, if a Ministry cart by ordonnance vote itself secret expenses? What answer will be given to suspicious folks, who may accuse the Civil List of placing to the account of the State expenses which it ought itself to support? The secret service money de mands from its very nature a sort of confidence, and it is on that account that it has always given rise to political debates in both Chambers. But a Ministry which votes itself credits of this kind indicates that it has no doubt of itself ; but it proves at the same time that it sets itself without the slightest ceremony above the most elemen tary principles of constitutional right. If, indeed, the enemy was at our gates, it was necessary to observe his movements. and ward off perils by which the coun try was endangered, extraordinary secret expenses could be conceived ! but what ! to marry a prince, welcomed with so much enthusiasm ! for a marriage greeted with such transport! In an honourable and loyal negotiation, in which all rights have been respected and all properties observed, it is not sufficient to lay out 200,00 f. in extra ordinary expenses, but a sum of 300,000 f. must be added for secret expenses ! And all this by an ordonnance ! Thus all the ordinary credits are expended, and 500,0001. are demanded for extraordinary ones for this princely union —France is called on to pay 500,000 f. to procure a prince a dowry with his wife of 30 millions ! But if an asylum is to be given to the unfortunate with out resource, M. Duchatel trembles to be lavish, and demands only 400,0001. ! He has still constitutional scruples ! Let the country compare and judge." The DAats has a long article on the Montpensier marriage, which, however, merely reiterates the old assertions, and another on the affairs of Portugal, on the occasion of a letter from a Portuguese, who ad vocates the course adopted by the QUEEN. The cor respondent of the Debats, alluding to the suspension of the liberty of the press in Portugal, which has been censured in warm and generous terms by that journal, says that the QUEEN has a constitu tional right to suspend the liberty of the press under the charter of Don PEDRO. The Debats observes, that it has not the charter before it, but it is necessary to see whether it will bear the in terpretation that has been given to it. " A constitu tion suspended," says the Debats, " is a constitution destroyed. What is the object of constitutions, but to prevent the exercise of arbitrary power ? If these constitutions themselves are subject to the exercise of arbitrary power, of what use are they ?" Marshal BOURMONT expired on Wednesday last at his chateau in Anjou. The Marshal was in his seventy-third year. The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that the Paris and Lyons Railroad Company will shortly make a call on their shareholders for a second instal ment, which, it was reported on the Paris Bourse, Will probably amount to 50f. per share, and be re quired in January, 1847. The administration of the Rouen and ITavre line presented to a general meeting of the shareholders on the 29th ult. a report on the state of the road, from which it appears that it would be ready for general traffic in the course of six weeks, were it not for the trial of the solidity of several works of alt. which still remained to be made. The receipt 3 of the Paris and Orleans Railroad luring the week ending on the 27th ult. were 168,309 E, and from the Ist of January 7,573,815 f. Those of the Paris and Rouen line during the same week were 176,974 f., and from the beginning of the year 6,945,989 f. The Tours and Orleans section of the Bordeaux line, owing to the interruption of the communications at Vendome, only produced 26,746 f.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL, NEWS. 1 tie cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was quiet ; sales 4,000 bales, including 300 on speculation. There was no change in prices. Shares were rather better. The state of the grain markets this morning are most satisfactory as respects the interests of consumers. It is considered impossible that the present high prices for wheat, &c., can be upheld. In the meat and poultry markets also, a fall in quotations is deemed a certainty. There are accounts from Sydney to-day to the 30th of June last. It is satisfactory to find that some fine rains had fallen, which had produced the most satisfactory results, as respects agricultural prospects. In politics there had been little or nothing stirring. Accounts from Otaheite, received at Sydney. state that the few English still residing in the Society Islands were in constant and imminent danger of their lives from the arbitrary proceedings of Governor Bruat, who confined them within a circle of about a quarter of a mile on pain of being shot. One of the missionaries was fired at by a sentinel while walking opposite his own verandah, the excuse of the soldier being that the Rev. Gentleman omitted to answer his challenge, at eight o'clock on a fine moonlight night ! The Stock Exchanges and the Share Markets are closed to-day, pursuant to " ancient custom." We have not, therefore, any report to make as to prices. Pri vately a few transactions have taken place ; but, as no authority exists for the prices, it is useless to go into details. The circulation of notes, throughout the United King dom, for the month ending the 12th September, is summed up in the Bankers' Magazine as amounting to 37,817,416/., a decrease of 62,3721. compared with the month to August 15. Of this 37,817,416/., the amount for England alone was 27,782,454/. While the Bank of England decreased its issues, the private and joint-stock banks of England, Ireland, and Scotland were increasing theirs. escape these questions by using the expression 'secret. expenses,' but it is precisely that phrase which calls them forth.

Not only their talent has been impeached, but their motives ; the integrity of their intentions has been most severely commented on. Scarcely a day passes that the most violent philippics are not in dulged in, and the most invidious comparisons drawn between the conduct of the late and of the present Ministry. Our present rulers are termed "poli tical jugglers ; " their policy is said to be of the most cruel, procrastinating character, The Premier himself is accused of truckling to his constituents, the merchants of London, and of refusing the adoption of the only steps that by a possibility could avert destitution and starvation from unhappy Ireland, in order that large profits and famine prices should be wrung from the suffering and misery of the people by fiat highly-favoured class; and this not withstanding the repeated assurances given by the sagacious and intelligent patriot who has so justly obtained their entire confidence and respect, of his full appreciation of the conduct and motives of the Liberal Cabinet, and his full trust in the benevolence and purity of their intentions towards his beloved country. Had not the course of policy of the Whigs, for a long series of years, been of the most enlightened and liberal character—had they not evinced, at all times, the most ardent solicitude for the removal of the various grievances affecting our sister island—had they not laboured to restore the Irish to a full and perfect equality in every respect with ourselves, to purify the statute-book from every vestige of the atrocious and vexatious penal laws, to remodel eN ery enactment of a persecuting or inequitable character to permit every man to worship his CREATOR in the manner which he conscientiously deemed right, Ind to take care that, in so doing, he should not be si.b jected to either insult or injur3 —their conduct during the past session, both before and since they assumed the administration of the national affairs, most undoubtedly deserved, and ought to have secured the esteem, respect, and confidence of the people, as it has of their veteran leader. Can be forgotten that it is to their exertions, while s out of office, that the rejection of the Coercion B is fairly ascribable; that when they obtained place and power, they abandoned the " Arms Act," which had been so long in operation, and gave the people the full benefit of their past good conduct; and in the short interval that elapsed before the close of the session, when opposed and burdened with the enor rnws weight of business cast upon them, their first deliberations were directed towards the state of Ire land, and the means necessary to be taken to meet the impending difficulties and exigences, they carried through the Legislature the Labour-rate Act, by which an enormous sum will be advanced for the relief of Irish necessities, and the repayment of which, at a moderate rate of interest, is to be accepted by easy instalments spread over a period of ten years ; and that when they discovered the injury that might be sustained by reason of a strict adherence to the letter of the statute, with a courage and decision that has not often been paralleled, they acquiesced in the determination of the patriotic Nobleman whom they selected for the high and, at the present crisis, arduous post of Viceroy of Ireland, and gave their sanction to advances being made for useful and profitable works of a reproduc tive character, although of a private nature? Our space forbids a recapitulation of the other measures relating to Ireland brought forward within the last ew weeks of the session, nor indeed is it necessary ;o allude to them further at this time. The measures and the conduct we have spoken of should have silenced the railers against the Government; and if anything was necessary to be done, the suggestions should have been offered in the most respectful terms, and the language of reproach, and of coarse and virulent abuse, should be entirely eschewed and most cautiously I avoided. We regret that this has not been the case, and yet, had it not been so, we might not have obtained the views of the Government, and the development of the Whig policy brought forwari in the document to tel fel of COL Tr CIRCULAR WINDSOR, MONDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert took their usual early morning walk. His Royal Highness Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of shooting this morning. His Royal Highness was at tended by the Earl of Morton, Mr. G. E. Anson, and the Hon. Captain Gordon.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse, attended by the Bart - mess Scheele, the Earl of Denbigh, and Baron Meysenbuch, left Cashiobury-park, Herts, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, yesterday morning, for Watford, and travelled to town by the London and North Western Railway. The Princess and her suite went to Marlborough House, where she arrived soon after eleven o'clock. Their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand-Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz visited the Princess at Marlborough House. In the afternoon the Princess of Hesse, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelita, and Prince Frederick of Hesse, honoured the establishment of Messrs.

VIENNA, OCT. 19.—Authentic accounts from Monte nego say that the Vendika is on his way to Vienna ; it is stated that he arrived at Trieste, and is expec:ed here to•morrow or the next day. With respect to the illness of the Grand-Duchess, daughter of the Grand-Duckess Helen of Russia, there are no hopes of her recovery. Her Highness is labour ing under pulmonary consumption, which is particu larly fatal in Vienna to some constitutions. It appears that his Majesty the Emperor has resolved to introduce oral proceedings in all civil causes. This reformation is of immense importance to the hereditary states, and will be hailed by all the inhabitants of the empire as the beginning of a new era. BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The Grand Duke Constantine, who has been residing in this capital for some time, and, as we learn, returns to St. Petersburgh at the latter end of this month, is reported, in the higher circles, to have been betrothed during his visit at Weimar to the youngest daughter of the reigning Duke of Saxe Alten burg. His bride, the Princess Alexandra, was born on the llth of July, 1830, consequently she is in her 17th year.

The conquest of California and New Mexico extends the boundary of the United States on the west coast from the 42d to the 32d parallel of north latitude, and produces a great alteration in the territorial possessions of the belligerent Powers.

Agriculture is carried on by extensive irrigation, for which the mountain streams afford great facilities. California is said to con tain valuable mines of coal, iron, zinc, gold, and quick silver, but for agricultural and grazing purposes its im portance has been overrated, the protracted droughts of summer having thus far baffled the skill of the American people.—New York Sun. TIIE GREAT WESTERN.—LIVERPOOL, SA TURDA Y.— The noble Atlantic steam-ship Great Western, Captain Mathews, sailed hence this afternoon for New York, with a complement of 96 passengers, including Sir Allan M'Nab, of Canada. The departure of the Great Western to-day, within the brief space of six days since her arrival, presents a notable instance of commercial dispatch. SERIOUS ACCIDENT,--O R Saturday evening a female named Emma Evers, while crossing from the eastern to the western side of Blackfriars-bridge, was caught by the wheel of an omnibus ; at the moment, a cart, heavily laden with wood coaling up, she got jammed between the two vehicles, and so seriously injured, that her life is in great jeopardy. She was taken to the house of Mr. Rose, surgeon, at the corner of Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, when, upon examination, it was found that the pelvis was so injured, that he deemed it de sirable that the sufferer should be removed to St. Thomrs's Hospital, where she was conveyed in a very weak state.

The weather, however, ultimattho clearing up, the steam was again put on, s nci , te if Needles were passed without accident—im inel o. after which the weather again became I .' y so much so that it was impossible a pilot could ti A e ,: c the vessel. The speed was consequently again r e ` -c o e re t and the ship merely glided along, not progressing m ore than two knots an hour. In this manner she neared Cowes, or at least within three miles of that plae% ho elt the vessel suddenly grounded. So slight was th; ‘ , - no or that only the commander, the chief engineer, an d R id e rs two others, were aware of the circumstance • s' a t he were immediately given to reverse the engines, au to be order was with the utmost alacrity attempte" goe obeyed, but without the slighteseef fi ct : there was g et defect in the machinery, arid as it was impossible t°oo. the engines to work, toe steam, as a prec autions* ? tt he sure, eas blown off. It was now nine o ' c lock, ie st 4acs tu: n of high water, and as there was not the lessl c i rs ef of getting the vessel afloat, Lieutenant Brady, Au r° agent in charge of the mails, started in one of the s t , 10 1 boats to the Motherbank for assistance.
