MISS STRICKLAND'S IVES OF THE QUEENS proved themselves to be unlike the aerial music and the golden showers of CALIBAN : the most extrava gant visions have been realised by yielding to those allurements. All the incalculable advantages which may be con, ferrecl upon mankind by the diffusion of knowledge may be, in some Measure, estimated by the extraordinary blessings already derived from that source. Many eminent personages have been so impressed with the truth as to have devoted the energy of many years to the popularisation, as it may be called, of science generally. Lord BROUGHAM has fought that good fight in England. M. ARAGO has done so in France; others have arisen in other countries who have en eavoured to emulate the conduct of their predecessors. Excellently, however, as such efforts are calculated to inform the people of the facts which have already been acquired, and to fester those germs of discovery which are lying dormant in so many quarters of the community, much remains to be done before the great crusade after knowledge can be ade quately commenced. It is not merely necessary to dis seminate the fruits which have been already culled, but it is necessary to sow fresh seed and to irrigate the soil anew, so that fresh fruit may be produced for future distribution. The facts already accumu lated by philosophy are marvellous enough, it is true, but additional facts must be divulged and collected : the march of science has only just commenced. The source of all our discoveries and inventions must, therefore, be consulted, if we hope to obtain more of similar blessings : the national intellect must be kept in a healthful and constant state of activity, and this never can be done systematically, unless the most eminent of our philosophical minds are brought, periodically, into collision. From the interchange of thought consequent upon the assem blage of such men ; from their mutual collation of arguments and calculations ; from the sub mission of the results of their several labours to the scrutiny of each other ; from their constant retrospec tion of what has already been accomplished, and from their constant survey of what still remains to be accomplished, most material advantages must neces sarily follow—the stores of philosophy must thereby be increased by the addition of new data— unexpected trains of ideas will be occasionally sug gested by this communion of intelligent and original minds—and those trains of ideas may ultimately lead to the detection of some of the great motors of matter. The secret of steam-power was not developed under half such propitious auspices --or the mystery of the compass—or the combination of lensos into a telescope —or the phenomena of electricity —or the venous and arterial circulation. The British Association, now assembled at South ampton, occupies, to our thinking, the eminent position which we have endeavoured to illustrate. It forms a kind of guarantee that human knowledge shall not re trograde ; it is a national stimulus to the national intel ligence of great Britain, and, by inference, to the in telligence of other countries. To our mind, it fulfils precisely the office which was so much wanted : it promotes science by that interchange of thought be tween contemporary philosophers which we have al ready particularised as so necessary. By deriding this Association, as some individuals are unfortunately accustomed to do, derision is cast indirectly upon such men as Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, Sir DAVID BREWSTER, Dr. BUCKLAND, Sir RODERICK -MURCHI SON, LEONARD HORNER, Professor WHEATSTONE, and others, who by their illustrious efforts in the vineyard of knowledge have conferred so much that is valuable upon humanity, and have thereby entitled themselves to so much deference. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was formerly maligned as likely to generate a feeling of infidelity among the popula tion,--this outcry originated among the pharisees of religion, and if believed by its authors was clearly the result of a purblind bigotry. The British Association is taxed with being productive of no prac tical benefit to science,—that baseless aspersion can only originate in something akin to indifferentism as to the avowed objects of the Association. The discourse uttered yesterday evening by Sir RODERICK IMPEY MuitcnisoN, the president for this year, was a magnificent retrospect of what has been already achieved through the instrumenta lity, under the immediate auspices, or at the sugges tion of the British Association. That eloquent and comprehensive discourse was a refutation—if any was really required—of the charges levelled at that emi nent body. It enumerated with a masterly per spicuity the deeds which had been done since the first establishment of the Association, —the geographical discoveries under Sir JAMES Ross ; the meteorological observations at the Royal Observatory of Kew ; the zoological researches of FORBES and OWEN ; the geological labours of its associates ; the monster telescope of Lord ROSSE ; the ichthyological works of Sir Jonza RICHARDSON ; the dynamical mathematics under ROBINSON, and the engineering of RENNIE. In proposing a vote of thanks to the eminent Professor who delivered that discourse, Lord PALMERSTON en larged in glowing and beautiful language upon the advantages as well as pleasures resulting from the cul tivation of scientific knowledge, and especially the ad vantages resulting from such societies as the British Association. To the noble and deserved eulogium passed upon that association by her MAJESTY'S Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, we refer the reader. It con denses into a few brief sentences the merits of its members and the beneficent consequences of its meetings. One beautiful sentiment uttered by the Noble lArd incidentally we cannot refrain from placing directly before our readers' attention. Re ferring to the contemplations and results of science, Lord PALMERSTON observed `° They They are not only useful as conducing to the enjoy ment and to the prosperity of mankind; but they must have a considerable and salutary effect on the minds of men, for is it possible that those who are in the enjoy ment of great and overweening prosperity must not be brought to feel a more proper sense of their position, when they see the utter insignificance of this globe as compared with the'mighty universe, which the telescope of Lord Rosso unfolds to the eye? and is it possible, on the other hand, that those who, broken by misfor tune, aro bowed down by affliction, should not find a source of re , ignation and of patience in that science by which they are more especially reminded of the °Teat duration of time, a n d w hi c h shows the small period of time during which they are destined to suffer in this world, as so small and insignificant compared to the great eternity to which they belong, as is a grain of sand to the earth which they inhabit, or that earth itself to the mighty universe of which it forms so small and insign ficant a portion?"

As calculated to disseminate these lofty considera tions, as well as to extend the scope of human intel ligence, we look with peculiar satisfaction on the an nual meetings of the British Association. The general half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the South-Eastern Railway Company took place on Thursday, when the directors presented the usual report respecting the state and prospects of the com pany. The document was looked for with much anxiety, in order that the public might know under what pretences the managers would attempt to justify the late increase in the fares and charges for con veyance, and also whether they were prepared to brave the storm of public opinion, and to persevere in the unwise and injudicious course they had adopted, or gracefully to acknowledge their error, and make all the amends in their power for the mischief already done and the odium incurred. It was also hoped that in the event of a continuance by the directors in their suicidal policy, an earnest protest would be offered by the general body of the proprietary, and that tho sense of the meeting would be testified in the strongest manner against the recent change —a change which was adopted by the directors on their own responsibility, without the opinions of the general body with respect thereto being asked for, or desired. The report (a copy whereof appeared in The Sun of yesterday) was chiefly remarkable for its total disregard of the interests of the public. In every line it breathed the spirit of monopoly. The whole end and object appears to he, how and by what means can the greatest amount be extracted from the pockets of the public ? It is not pretended that the former reduction of rates was not attended with be nefit to all classes ; that a larger sum was not thereby earned by the company, and made divisible amongst the proprietors. on the contrary, it appeared that the increase, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1845, before the reduction had taken place, was 37,653 first-class, 87,712 second-class, and no less than 271,068 third-class passengers ; on the latter an increase of more than 200 per cent. True it was that a greater quantity of ground had A letter from Rome, dated 28th August, which appears in the Augsburgh Gazette, has the follow ing : The attention of the Irish landlords has been ioroughly awakened to the circumstances in which hey are placed, and various suggestions are offered from day to day for the consideration of the Govern ment. Food must be provided for the starving multi tudes, and the obvious and natural source from whence that provision is to be obtained is the land of the country. The necessities of all must be fully met by the produce of the soil, before any portion can be applied to the superfluities of any. It has been well stated in the memorial of the Central Relief Committee of the baronies of Upper and Lower Dells and Fore, to the Lord Lieutenant, " that the case which they are now called on to meet differs, not only in degree, but also in the nature of the evil, from that which they had to contemplate last season." Last year there was a pressing but temporary deficiency, and there was a reasonable ground for hoping that on the arrival of the next harvest he emergency would have passed away, and ,hat the ordinary channels of supply would have been available to the public support. That expecta tion has vanished. The evil must now be dealt with as a permanent one. It would indeed evince a sad want of foresight, an idiotic blindness, if some means were not adopted to produce a greater quantity and different quality of food for the multitude from that which has been withdrawn from their use. This can only be produced by an increased degree of cultiva tion, an extra quantity of labour applied to the soil, and a more judicious selection of the description of crops to be raised therefrom. Few who are entirely dependent on a single crop will venture on one. so likely to yield no return as the potato. The farmers will scarcely be willing again to risk the chance of such a lottery, or to let their ground for such a purpose to persons who, in the event of a failure, will be wholly unable to remu nerate them therefor. There must be means adopted for the adequate employment of the labouring population, so that each man may be cer tain, in return for his exertion, of procuring a suffi ciency of plain food for himself and family, and the shelter of an humble roof. This he has a right to demand from his country, and it must be provided for him, whatever may be the difficulties, the impe diments in the way of so doing. The necessity is admitted by all—the only question is as to the means by which it may be effected. Last year large sums were raised by voluntary contributions. It can scarcely be expected that similar funds can be pro cured to meet the present distress. Many, who gave freely according to their means, would be unable to afford an equal subscription at present. Neither would it be just, if it were practicable, to look solely to voluntary gifts ; those who are disposed to act most justly to provide employment on their own estates for persons having a fair claim thereto, would also be disposed to act most generously, and thus a double burden would be imposed on them, while the heartless and inhuman would escape the performance of a solemn duty. Neither would it be just that the means should be provided from the public ex- " It is stated that Cardinals Vanicelli and Dellagenga, the one legate of Orbiz and Pesaro, and the other of Bologna, are about to give in their resignations. From the late events their positions are no longer tenable ; the partisans of the ancient regime are still agitating, and to that must be added that the Propaganda in Paris and in London are not content with the amnesty. They dream of a kingdom of Italy, and endeavour to gain over the youth ; the people, however, reject this odious idea, and the persons who have been amnestied show them selves worthy of the clemency of the Pope. Cardinal Gizzi has lately addressed a circular to all the authori ties, calling upon them to oppose every tendency to re volution. The Government has already given proof that it will not overlook any negligence on the part of public functionaries. Dr. Fossi, Governor of Fazenza, has been brought before the tribunals, and his place given to another. MM. Gorga and d'Asti, directors of police at Foligno and Pesaro, had met with a similar fate. The former only escaped being massacred by putting on a disguise, in which he got off. His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville is expected to arrive here this day. He is charged with a special mission from the King, his father, to the Pope. He will stay only one clear day at Rome, and then return to Naples." The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople of the 27th, and from Athens of the 30th ult. The Constantinople journals state that accounts had' been received from Trebisond of the suppression of the revolt in the Adjara, and of the capture of its chief, KEUR HUSSEIN BEY. At Erzeroum the people were still in an agitated state, and the guard at the Persian embassy was doubled. The cholera was ravaging Teheran and several other cities of Persia. One of the sons of the SHAH had died, and so great was the alarm that the SHAH and his Ministers had fled from the city, and lomatique were about t to he fo m llo e w mb th er e s ir o e f xa t n h i e ple7 B diP At Athens the Chamber of Representatives was still occupied in discussing the budget. A royal decree has been issued for the colonisation of the Thracians, Bulgarians, and Servians, resident in Greece. By this decree, they are all to be united in one establishment, instead of residing, as hith3rto, in different parts of the country. The decree consists of 34 clauses, fixing the regulations of the colony, and the attribution of the different officers. Madrid papers of the sth have arrived. It would appear that Mr. BULWER, on being in ormed of the double marriage, had made a condi tional protest against the MONTPENSIER alliance. This fact is now admitted by the Government organ, the Heraldo. The opposition to this marriage on the part of the Spanish nation was daily increasing ; the Carlists and the Pro gressistas are joined in their opposition by the more powerful section of the Moderados. In the Cortes PACIIZCO will lead the opposition to the project for the MONTPENSIER marriage; and the Tiempo says, that so afraid are the Afrancesado party of encountering discussion, that the announce ment to the Cortes of the marriage of the QUEEN will be immediately followed by the reading a decree dissolving that body. There was a rumour in Madrid that the preparations for the marriage of the INFANTA had been countermanded. It is said that the mar. riage of the QUEEN will take place on the 18th. General PEZEALA having been appointed Inspector. General of Cavalry, has resigned the office of Cap tain-General of Madrid, which has been conferred on General SHELLY. The troops, which were concen trated on the Portuguese frontier, have gone into cantonments near Seville.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Journal d es Deb ats h as an art i c l e which may be looked upon as official on the subject of the mar riage of the INFANTA to the Duke DB MONTPENSIER. After designatin g it as for Europe a great " political fact, for France an event of immense national import ance," it thus continues : "The marriage of the Infanta to the Duke de Mont pensier is a pledge of a complete reconciliation between Spain. and France. It re-establishes that traditional in timacy which had been so unfortunately broken. It may now be said without fear that there has been for nearly half a century a wide breach of continuity in the history of Frarice and Spain. Those ties, which were formed by nature, and strengthened by religion and good policy, were unhappily broken by the Imperial invasion. The hand of violence can never be laid with impunity , upon It;Ae liberty of a people —upon their national in depen.J ence. The recollection of this has long dwelt in the' hearts of the Spaniards, and, perhaps, has not even :,et completely disappeared. Nothing can be more .likely to efface the last traces of dissa tisfa,ctio n and consummate the entire reunion of the two nations, than the happy alliance that has just been agreed upon. The marriage of the Infanta of Spain with a son of France will, we are convinced, be the seal •of oblivion pat upon all painful remembrances, and marl : the close of this unfortunate era. The Pyre nees will stand fast, but there will no longer subsist be tween tb e two countries, those moral barriers which are more powerful still than those of geography. At no period , could the re - establishment of this ancient in timacy have been made under more happy auspices. There was a time, still not very far back, when it might have be en accomplished, but not in a manner so com plete. When Spain had no strength but for incessant revolutions—when she expended all her energies in re bellion,. and presented to the world no other spec tacle t'nan that of an anarchy whose source was in the lavrs , France could not so closely identify herself ith Sps.,in without rendering herself in a measure a participa tor in a state of things in hostility to her own institutio ns,f her own policy,:and the:principles of her own Goverinwnt. Spain has happily saved herself from this been travelled over, consequent upon the opening of ' chequer; if that were to be the case, the industry, the Tunbridge Wells branch, and that from Ashford the labour of the nation at large, would be taxed to Canterbury and Ramsgate, but it will be found for the benefit of a class. It would shift the re that the increase more than corresponded to the ad- sponsibility of providing for the labouring poor from ditional distance, and it is well known that it takes , the land to which they belonged, and which is pe some time fully to develope the resources of a rail- culiarly chargeable therewith, to the nation at large. way, and that a far less number of passengers have Every consideration of justice and policy forbids such recourse to it during the first months of its existence a course. The true principle is that recently laid than when it has been for some time in operation; a down by Mr. Mosseee, himself a large landed pro great increase of profit may therefore reasonably be prietor, viz.—that every owner of land must employ the looked for from the several branches on future occa• poor belonging to that land. If this be carried into sions. The directors, however, seize on the fact, that execution, he will speedily find some productive notwithstanding the increase in the amount received, labour on which to occupy them, and no longer and in the number of persons carried, the amount per permit their energies to be expended on that which mile per week earned, in 1845, was greater than thai, can yield no return. Public works may answer very earned during the last half-year, to say well as a temporary expedient, but in a short time that it thereby became incumbent on all that are really useful in the district will be exce. them to reconsider the scale of passenger cuted, and then the lands must be charged for that fares, and to adjust them as seemed reasonable, after which is absolutely useless, when the labour which the experience gained on a trial of twelve months at would be required therefor might he so much more the greatly reduced rates. This is the only explana- beneficially applied. That labour for which the land tion they condescend to give, the only apology they is compelled to pay should be employed in developing offer to the public for the great additional charges the productive power of the land. The necessity for they have made at the close of a session of Parliament, the interference of the State is to compel a certain during which they relied in the strongest manner on quantity of land to provide for a certain quantity of the reductions they had previously effected as giving labour ; if the owner or occupier of that land is them a claim upon the nation, and as sufficient in willing to do so, he should be permitted to select the itself to overrule the claims of a rival company, offer- manner of that employment himself. In such a case ing great advantages to the inhabitants of the northern he will be certain to apply it in the most bene parts of Kent, and to all continental travellers; they ficial and advantageous channel. A labour do not mention how much less was the amount per rate should be imposed on the land sufficient mile earned during the last half-year, nor how that for the remuneration of the persons requiring employ was calculated. They could not possibly suppose ment, but a drawback should be allowed therefrom that branches just opened would have earned for the actual amount paid for labour by the person as largely per mile as the main trunk, chargeable.

It may press heavily on some who are was, during both periods, opened to the public —say already embarrassed and encumbered, but, as we from London to Dover, exclusive of the branches. have already said, such persons must withdraw from Lord TORRINGTON, in seconding the adoption of the positions the duties incidental to which they are un report, ventured to attack the public press of the able to discharge, and leave an opening for others country for the animadversions which they, in who have the ability. Whether the improvidence the honest and fearless discharge of their which has reduced them to such a state be their own, duty, thought it necessary to pronounce on or that of the persons from whom they have derived the conduct of the directors in raising the the properties, it is not reasonable that the nation fares of the line He expressed his regret " that should be the sufferer. the writers, without looking into the facts, and with out making inquiries into the circumstances, should make such statements, that they should have opened such attacks without strong and serious grounds on which to base their assertions." Now, with all respect for his Lordship, we conceive that there were ample grounds for the observations offered. Those contained in The Sun were based on the simple fact of the in crease of rates, which has been found to be opposed to the experience of the past, which has clearly estab lished that in every instance in which reductions of fares have taken place there has been a more than proportionate increase of traffic, and that there has been a mutual benefit to the public and the com panies therefrom. We also thought that this pro ceeding was peculiarly objectionable on the part of the South-Eastern Company, being in violation of an implied contract with the public. Their advo cates had made the committee-rooms resound with praises of their disinterested conduct in the reduction of their fares, an argument of which they re ceived the full benefit. We pointed out how unjust it was that persons who, on the faith of the existing fares, had taken country residences along the line should now be subjected to a greatly increased expenditure; that it was very unfair, not only to compel persons to travel an addi tional distance by a circuitous route, but also to charge them for the extra space. These were the arguments used in The Sun, and we defy the Noble Lord to show how they are in any manner shaken by the very lame explanation offered, and to which his Lordship referred with so much complacency. He took peculiar credit to the company for charging only one penny per mile for third-class passengers. We believe that the Legislature are fairly entitled to that praise, and not the company. Mr. SALOMONS made an appeal to the proprietors highly creditable to himself to induce them to retrace their steps; but, with some few honourable exceptions, the assemblage were blinded by mistaken views of fancied pro fits, and disregarded the prudent and sensible ad vice offered. We again emphatically warn the com pany to pause. Should they persist, a heavy retribu tion must await them; the public will not suffer themselves to be treated in such a manner with im punity. They may now domineer in fancied security, but they will awake to the disagreeable consequences at a very early period of the next session of Par liament. J I ~ I ~ ~~~ ~ ~~ -- ;~~ LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1846, During the lase two centuries a grand principle bag been gaining groui2d amongst the civilised nations of the globe —a principle which has gradually in noculated the minds of the populace, has infused into them something of the more elevated ambition of philosophy, has imparted an astonishing impetus to intellectual enterprise, and is now rapidly tending to the improvement of our social condition, and facili tating the revelation of the secrets of nature. Ever since the unsound theories ofARISTOTLE were exploded and the inductive and experimental system pro pounded instead, that mighty principle has been accu mulating to itself additional vigour, and its paramount clams upon the attention of man have been suc cessively recognised by one army of disciples after ;.pother. We mean the principle- that more endurin,s , glory may be acquired, and more substan tial a th ran. tages a c hi eve d , b y the extension of human knowledge than by any other earthly endeavour that the imaginatiOn of mankind can conceive. That glori fi:st germinated i n th e c h amber of the ous principle, h as ,I)een already di ssem i nated to an philosopher, astonishing extent a11i0n,.7 the multitude. The con quest of the difficulties' of science, the fabrication of the masterpieces of are, the simplification of the abstruser studies, and tile .application of the various laws whicit regulate matter to °_.r own u3e and ad vantage, are considered to bc. , amongst the noblest objects for the attainment of which the human intel lect can striv e ; and this, not merely by the mechanician, the astronomer, the chemist, or the ma thematician, but by agriculturists, merchants, and civil'ans indiscriminately. The good seed sown by BACON and by DESCARTES have even now yielded harvest a hundredfold._ The people see that in striving for the extension of knowledge they are not pursuing any beautiful illusion; they see that while they are elevating their minds by the contemplation of the universe, and appeasing a delightful curiosity by analysing its portions, they are conferring practi cal benefits upon society, and satisfying many of o ur corporeal wants, The allurements of philosophy have THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1846. , anarchy. In these latter years she has secured the durability of her free institutions, by founding them upon the basil of order. Since the reform effected in hsr fundamental law she has become a truly constitu tional country—she hes, in fief - , a government. As the law no longer allows citizens to organise inde pendent military corps, and thus establish permanent revolt—as the provinces can no longer dismember the monarchy, and the local authorities can no longer place themselves, above the Central Government, and scatter to every extremity of the kingdom the fragments of the executive powcr, from this day a representativ e and constitutional Governmtnt is founded in Sl',ain, upon regular, solid, and natural bass s. '1 his is a work which undoubtedly can never be accomplished in a day —Spain has undoubtedly still to pass thrt,ugh many trials before Eh.° can reach the end; but she is w ell on her way—she must march forward rapidly—arid France will now have greater interest in eecouraging and supporting her in her endeavours. It is a great advantage to France to have acquired new points of contact with a country in which order is being daily more and more consolidated, and in which nothing is wanted but order to bring forth all its immense resources. Com merce will naturally follow in the same path as its policy, and Spain must necessarily become one of the most vast and valuable marts for the produce of France. But this is not meant to indicate that France has either the pretension or the desire to exercise an exclusive ence over Spain, or to take advantage of her natural means of action, to exclude the interests of other coun tries. Even when most intimately connected with us, Spain will not the less retain her full freedom of action towards her other allies, and will continue to be com pletely independent in all her relations. France seeks only to draw more closely in Spain those bonds which are rendered natural and indispensable by proximity of territory, by historical tradition, by relationship of sovereign families ; but she does not aspire to create for herself, in any other respect, any species of monopoly, or any exclusive preponderance.' The Debats next maintains, that although the re vival of the family compact is not thought of, the marriage between the INFANTA and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER is of great " dynastic interest," since it sheds fresh lustre and éclat on the House of ORLEANS, and is another step towards uniting the great BOURBON family, nolv occupying three of the first thrones in Europe. The first step towards this reunion was the recognition of the Queen of SPAIN by the King of NAPLES ; the next the marriage of the Duc D'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess; and the third the marriage cf the Duc DE MONTPENSIER with the Infanta of SPAIN. A free -trade association is about to be established at Lyons. The Due DE MONTPENSIER, who is to be imme diately created a Major-General, has arrived in Paris. The Prince DE JOINVILLE was expected at Rome, charged with a special mission to the POPE from King LOUIS PHILIPPE. The account of the expulsion of the French from Otaheite, which was published a few days since, is contradicted by the Journal du Havre. The last accounts from Otaheite were to the effect that some hostilities had taken place, but that the natives had been repulsed, and a piece of cannon captured from them. The accounts from Algiers are up to the sth. The country was tranquil, but in the neighbourhood of Constantina a caid, named LAKIIAL, distinguished for his partiality to the French, had been set upon by a large number of Arabs andshot, and his mules, horses, and baggage taken off. His attendants fled at the moment of the attack. According to the Akbar, a French envoy had arrived at Tangiers, to treat with ABD- EL-KADER for an exchange of pri- soners. The Courrier Francais says :-" An order has, . is said, been sent by telegraph to General DE BAR, Governor of Algeria ad interim, to prepare an expe ditionary body of 5,000 men to enter upon a cam paign immediately after the return of Marshal BUGEAT.M."'

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