One successful movement may be made for the aggrandisement of an Orleans Prince, but what may not be the compensation required for that solitary advantage ? It is impossible not to perceive that there is some thing contrary to international law in this marriage of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. If the proceedings were consonant with all the regulations of that invisible but almost omnipotent code, why should the whole scheme have been germinated in such profound secresy ? Why should it never have been divulged until the very moment of its realisation had arrived ? And why, when so emphatically protested against by a friendly Power, should the ceremony be hastened forward with such discourteous and blundering precipitation? The ,ypocrisy of the whole affair is miserably shallow, it is manifest upon the very surface. But the upholders of the arrangement fall back, in their dilemmas, upon what they are facetiously pleased to call the satisfac tion of the Spanish population at the husband selected for the INFANTA. The popularity of the Due DE MONTRENSIER in the Peninsula is the theme of lengthened observation in the newspapers sub servient to the French Government. His tri umphal reception by the m ultitudes in the different Spanish towns is elaborately pour trayed by L'Epoque. With all submission, however, to these authoritative informants, we pre sume to question the existence of this popularity and the enthusiasm of these receptions. We cannot conceive to ourselves the possibility of any individual being the idol of the populace in a country where the journals are seized whenever the advisability of his selection as a partner for the Princess is doubted in their columns, or when an officer like General BRETON proclaims that all similar sceptics will be shot in case they presumed to divulge their scepticism. Nor do we conceive it to be customary for a royal bride groom to enter the country of his betrothed escorted by ten squadrons of cavalry, or for such a kingly suitor to be conducted thither in a car riage followed by two pieces of artillery ! The golden apples blooming in the garden of the Hespe rides were not guarded with more ugly and formid able sentinels. Much, however, as we may deprecate the lust of dignity and power which has conducted matters to their present unfortunate position, it is obvious that neither regrets nor recriminations can now pre vent this selfish and ominous marriage. The conse quences, therefore, are the only matters for our consi deration, and we tremble lest those consequences may be more calamitous to humanity than even an imme diate and bloody warfare. It. is an alliance like the present that entails such a countless succession of miseries upon an empire; it is through such an inju dicious compact that generations of woe are entailed upon a people, that years have witnessed only fresh renewals of a struggle for nationality, that provinces have been depopulated because of a mistaken pageant within the precincts of a palace. It was for the pre vention of such calamities that the treaty of Utrecht was signed; and it is by disregarding the express stipulations of that treaty that so much injury has been already effected and so much more rendered possible. Mistrust has already been thereby introduced between friendly Cabinets ; the entente cordiale, which it had required so much ingenuity to patch together, has been thereby cast into a state of premature dilapidation ; the compli cated affairs of the Peninsula have been thereby again entangled just as their internal arrangement had become tolerably organized; and the amicable interviews at the Chateaud'Eu have been thereby most effectually counteracted. Time will evince the fallacy of those reasonings which have conducted affairs to their present lamentable confusion ; but with the flight of that Time the Peninsula may be again wrung with moral convulsions, and saturatel with Spanish blood. We on Tuesday published a document of considerable 1 importance, which has recently been issued from the Commissariat Relief Office, Dublin Castle. It furnishes instructions for the formation and guidance of co ,s mittees for the relief of distress in Ireland con sequent upon the failure of the potato crop in this present year, and contains many valuable and some objectionable regulations, which should, we conceive, be modified, or altered, to make the bodies thereby constituted in the highest degree efficient for the purposes for which they are called into existence. To the lieutenant of the county is delegated the duty of dividing every barony for which extraordima7 sessions have been convened into convenient districts for the action of relief committees. Every such dis trict must consist of at least two parishes, and its exact limits be accurately defined ; for these districts the lieutenant is to constitute relief committees, or to re•assenible committees that hare hitherto administered relief funds, and to appoint a chairman and secretary. The committees are to consist exclu sively of certain functionaries and public officers thereby indicated. We think the constitution of the bodies of a most injurious .character. Experierce has ever shown that the affairs of any locality can be managed in the most beneficial manner by persons resident in, and intimately acquainted with all its wants, and who possess the confidence and esteem of ih‘ people in general. In a vast number of the dis tricts to be formed there may be found many gentle men possessing all the qualifications necessary for the meritorious discharge of the duties. Such persons are excluded from being members of, or from taking any part whatsoever in the proceedings of the several committees. The only persons who are to be selected for the situation are magistrates, who are to be deputed from each branch of petty sessions in the barony, half barony, or lesser division, for which the presentment sessions have been held, not exceeding two from each bench. Every other member is ap pointed by reason of his holding some peculiar situation; they consist of the following, viz. :—the lieutenant or vice-lieutenant of the county, the resident magistrate in the barony division for which the session has been held, the principal clergyman of each church (Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Pres byterian) officiating in each parish of the district, the chairman of the poor-law union, the principal con stabulary officer in the barony, the principal coast guard officer (where available), the officers acting under the Commissary-General, and the principal officer in the barony acting under the Board of Works. Now we do not object to any of the persons thus indicated ; on the contrary, we think that each and every of them, more particularly the clergymen of the different religions, should, ex officio, be entitled to seats at the boards; but our objection is to the limitation to such persons, and the declaration that they only shall be placed on the committee. The most active and useful members of the former com mittees (who shall be re-assembled) will be excluded from the future meetings thereof. Again, under the new rule, such committees can only be constituted in baronies where extraordinary sessions are to be as sembled : this appears erroneous. In many baronies, where there are wealthy landowners, such an amount of work may be provided as to render it unnecessary to present for public works, and yet a relief committee may be very useful in seeing that all the destitute labourers are provided with work, and that food at a moderate price is placed within their reach ; great suffering may be endured in such neighbourhoods, which would totally be avoided if relief committees were in existence therein. We, therefore, submit that the lieutenant of the county should, in every case where he thought it advisable, be empowered to constitute such a committee, and to appoint a field for their labours, whether an extraordinary session for the barony in which it is situated had been held, or con vened, or otherwise ; and that he should also be em powered to nominate such fit and proper persons resi dent in the several districts to co-operate with those mentioned in the instructions, or such Tersons might, perhaps, with still better effect be elected by the rate payers of the district for which they are to be ap pointed. Such 'an addition would have the effect of gaining the confidence of the people to be employed, and would secure the presence of persons who would be intimately acquainted with the claims of those seeking work at the hands of the corn mittee, and enabled ,to adjudicate properly thereon. The remaining regulations apply chiefly to the manner in which the proceedings of the committee are to be carried on. Some do not require much comment. One of the rules is, that the suggestions of individual members are to be offered only at meetings of the committees, so that all communications shall be made only by the chairman or secretary. The most important of the duties of the com mittee appears to be the selection of fit and proper objects, to whom work is to be given. They are di rected, where public works of relief are to be exe cuted, to supply to the officers of the Board of Works appointed to conduct them lists of per sons requiring relief by employment, made up from registries of applicants for relief, in the following order, and not containing a greater number of persons than the officers of works shall propose to employ from each relief division of the barony, having regard to the extent of the labouring population requiring relief in such division :- Ist. Persons destitute of support, who have the largest families depending on them. 2d. Persons with smaller families wholly de pendent on them. 3d. All other persons requiring employment on public works, for whose support it is absolutely necessary. Such a list we consider to be quite essential to enable the officers to select the persons whom it is most desirable to employ ; but why should it be limited in its numbers ? The qualification necessary for a place therein is that of destitution, of a total inability to provide sufficient support for themselves, or those dependent on them, without the assistance to be afforded by the public works, and it will be hard to tell the starving labourer that the list is already full, and that therefore there is no place or hope for him, and thus to drive him to desperation, perhaps to crime. Every man in absolute want should be entitled to work, and that work should be provided in some way or other. These lists are from time to time to be revised by the committees, at their discretion. The committees are not to interfere in the execu tion of the works, but they may draw the attention of the Board of Works to any occurrences in relation thereto, which, in their opinion, are deserving of con sideration. They are not to carry on works of relief of the description indicated in the 9th and 10th Vic. c. 107 ; these are to be submitted to the baronial ses sions, and if sanctioned, must be carried on by the Board of Works only. Where the committees are compelled to provide employment from funds at their own disposal, it is to be limited to small works of local utility ; they are not to give higher wages or exact less labour than is given on the works carried on under the superintendence of the Board of Works ; the works are to be only to the extent to which pri vate employment is proved not to be available. The funds at the disposal of the committees are to consist of the balance remaining from the former period, which closed on the 15th August last, sub scriptions for the present period and any other con tributions obtained, and the Lord-Lieutenant's dona tion, which may amount to one-half the amount sub scribed, but which will vary according to the circum stances and the degree of distress to be relieved. This fund is only to be applied to the following purposes :- Ist. Providing supplies of Indian corn or Indian corn-meal, or other food for sale. 2d. Affording relief by employment if necessary. 3d. Defraying the contingent expenses of the com mittee, including remuneration for the services of the secretary or clerk. The above are the chief points contained in the in structions. We shall probably point out some addi tional regulations, which we think might with advan• tage be adopted, and which would render such com mittees really valuable. Accounts from Russia state that one of the sons of SCHAMYL, who has been for some years a prisoner at St. Petersburg, has effected his escape. It appears that when only eight years of age he was taken prisoner by the Russians. The Emperor had him brilliantly educated at the Military School, where he was consi dered one of the best pupils. Ile never spoke of his father, and appeared to have forgotten his birthplace. His comrades and professors were ignorant of his origin, and he was known by a name different from his own. He left the Military School last July, and was sent as lieutenant to the regiment of Finland. A month back he suddenly disappeared, leaving a letter for his colonel, in which he informed him of his birth, and declared that, though young, he bad never forgotten his native country, ar.d that he was going to join his father and brothers This news caused a great sensation. The young SCILA MYI., who is eighteen years of age, was much beloved by his fellow pupils, who at present cannot help admiring the patience and courage with which he endured his lot for so long a time. Eis supposed that he had succeeded in reach ing Sweden. A family of rich Finland peasants have been arrested on suspicion of having favoured his escape. The Jews in the Canton of Berne have been re lieved by the Grand Council from the restrictions imposed upon them by the decree of 1820, which compelled them to take out an annual license to trade —to submit all advances made on pledges to'the police—and which forbade them keeping their ac counts in the Hebrew language, or in any language written in the Hebrew character. Oral proceedings commenced in the criminal courts of Berlin on the sth October. The trial of the persons implicated in the late Polish insurrection, is fixed for the 15th. The greater number of them have already arrived at Berlin. A letter from Warsaw, of Sept. 25, says— " The Government displays an extraordinary severity towards the inhabitants of our capital. All the clubs and circles are closed. Passports for foreign countries are delivered only to persons well known to the autho rities, and not unless they furnish a considerable amount of caution-money. All letters are examined on their arrival and departure, and then resealed with the police seal. As soon as three persons are seen speaking toge • titer in the street, the police agents disperse them. All men wearing an imperial on the chin are noted by the police, aed considered as revolutionary. Every anniver sary of the birthday of a member of the Imperial Family has been declared a fete-day, and the Government re quires that on these occasions all the houses in Warsaw shall be illuminated from dusk to midnight. Such per sons as do not light up their houses, or do so incom pletely, are to be tined and imprisoned, and looked on as suspected. Lately, on one of those days, some bits of wood were cut in front of a house situated at the ex tremity of the town. A police agent entered and asked for the owner of the house, and, as he was absent, ar rested the man's wife, and had her detained in prison for a month for having profaned the fete of a member of the Emperor's family." According to the Frankfort Journal, the Duke of SAXE COBURG, in the five months from January 1 to May 31, distributed to seven hundred of his peasantry in Hungary, who were suffering from the deficiency of the last year's harvest, a pound of meat and two pounds of bread each per day, and gave employment for all who were able to work—thus expending, during this period, 28,000 forms in food, and 144,000 florins in labour. Lisbon papers of the 26th ult. have been received. The Diario announces from Braga, under the date of September 21, that Father CASIMIR°, the Miguelite Chief, had made his submission to the Government; and that the insurrection having been completely suppressed, the troops had returned to their canton ments. AMP Madrid papers of the Ist have arrived. The Heraldo gives a long account of the cere monial to be observed on the occasion of the royal marriages, which are to be solemnized on the 10th of October, at the Atocha Church. The editors of the Espectador, who have been pro secuted by the Government for their remarks on the ➢lontpensier marriage, have been tried and acquitted. Senor ZEA BERMUDEZ, the late Minister of' FEB. DINAND VII., and the patron of the cause of " en lightened despotism," is at present in Madrid, and is one of Queen CHRISTINA'S confidential advisers. It was reported on the Balsa that the Count of MONTEMOLIN had landed near Almeira. , The Cadiz Comercio has the subjoined information from Madrid :—" Louis PHILIPPE gives his son and daughter-in-law board and lodging, servants, and all they may want in the way of daily living, and more over, 2,000 piastres a month. The INFAN TA'S marriage portion will be 56,000,000 reals de Veillon ; 38,000,000 in cash, and the remainder in diamonds and jewels. At his death, Louis PuiLirrE will leave his son an annual income of 3,000,000." MADRID BOLSA, Our.

In the eccentric and melodramatic history of Spain no incident has ever occurred so marvellously eccentric and melodramatic as this matrimo nial alliance of her two Princessea. Before three days more have elapsed that double ceremony may have been completed. Quietude and indifference may be apparent in the population during the course of these proceedings ; but we may, without any risk of credit in our vaticination, opine that that tranquillity will prove eminently deceptive. Every cir cumstance attendant upon the progress of their Royal Highnesses of France towards the Peninsular capital may be remarkable for propriety ; their processional entrances into the towns upon their route may be conducted a merveille ; youths and damsels in span gled satin may dance the fandango any sorsico under their windows, as they are reported to have done at Tolosa ; but, however apparently propitious may b 3 the accompaniments of this diplomatic adventure, it is tolerably certain that national and international rights have been too grievously violated in its arrangement to permit of any long continuance to this Spanish quiescence and English acquiescence. A multitude of powerful objections have presented themselves to the Montpensier mar riages, yet, in open defiance of those objections, the marriage has been, and is being, hastened forward with, if possible, double precipitation. Has Queen IsABELLs. any dislike to the betrothals ? She is closeted with her Afrancesado Ministers till past midnight ; her tears and antipathies are disregarded, she is stormed into sub mission by reiterated entreaties, and implacable argu ments. Do the stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht present any obstacles ? They are whispered away by the Cabinet of Versailles. Are the Spaniards disposed to repel the Orleans proposition ? Their peti tions are seized by the gendarmerie, and intimidation is employed where remonstrance proves inefficient. Does the Madrid press evince any ability or courage in expos ing the chicaneries of the Count DE BaEssort and Senor IsTrarrz ? The morning journals are denounced, prosecuted, and fined. Has the Cabinet of St. James, through its representatives, protested against the projected alliance? Its protests are treated first with supercilious contempt, and then with protracted silence. Such has been the recent policy of the French Government; and while we must acknow ledge that it is calculated to render them winners in regard to this immediate game of diplomacy, we must, nevertheless, declare that it places their whole future fortunes in jeopardy. The half of a prospective diadem may be guaranteed to the youngest son of the reigning Sovereign, but, the entire credit of the French Government is thereby accompanied by the Duke DE NEMOURS and the Prince DE JOINVLLLE, and attended by a brilliant staff, reviewed the garrison of Paris ,in the Place du Carrousel. His MAJESTY, who made a profuse dis tribution of decorations among the officers and non- commissioned officers, was loudly cheered. A telegraphic dispatch received on Tuesday an nounces the arrival of the Dues DE MONTPENSIER and D'AUMALE at Burgos on the evening of the sth. They were to set off for Buitrago the following morning. They were received everywhere, says the dispatch, with acclamations. The Epoque, the Ministerial journal, gives a mag niloquent account of the progress of these princes through Spain, but it omits to account for the very slow rate at which the progress is made, contrasting as it does so strangely with " the hot haste" with which the bridegroom elect spurred along the route from Paris to Bayonne. A correspondent of the National, however, accounts for it by stating that the Princes are accompanied by an army (cavalry, infantry, and artillery), to keep off the people, and protect them against any attempts that may be made by guerilla parties to carry them off to the mountains. This writer, in describing the triumphal entry of the Princes into Irun, says : " The cortege advances according to a programme previously arranged. Ten squadrons of cavalry serve as an escort. There were three hun dred infantry at the bridge of Irun, and the carriages are followed by two pieces of artillery. In spite of all this military show, which is well calculated to excite curiosity, the crowd is inconsiderable, and the enthu siasm null. When the escort arrived opposite the church, one of the commanding officers raised his sword, and cried Viva!' The cavalry, in obedience to the word, cried also ' Viva!' The people asked which was the nobio (the bridegroom), and as people were not always well informed, the answers were sometimes absurd, and some people, who took General Athelin for the happy man, thought him a little too old. Here is a conversation which I overheard between two Spaniards, countrymen from the neighbourhood. On seeing the troops and the cannon, one of them said, These French princes, then, come as prisoners?' No,' said the other, but they are afraid of contrabandistas.' Every pre caution has been taken against a coup de main, and, under pretext of honours, an army has been echelon be tween Irun and Madrid. From here to Vittoria there are 2,000 infantry and 600 cavalry; from Vittoria to Burgos, from Burgos to Valladolid, from Valladolid to Segovia, and from that last point to Madrid, there are the same number of troops." The answer of the French Cabinet to the note pre sented by the Marquis of NORMANBY was forwarded on Monday to the Count DE JARNAC, to be presented by him to Lord PALMERSTON. The article which had appeared on the preceding day in the Constitutionnel, and which we gave in The Sun of yesterday, appears to have excited a great sensation in the political circles of Paris. The Legitimatist Quotidienne, in observing on it, says— _ _ " Tne language of the Centre Gauche is very signifi cative: It is well to regard it as an expression from the heart in a moment of anger, and as an evidence in favour of true and serious opposition. Even those who have come the nearest to the p en s& dirigeante, now make com mon cause with us, and justify our opposition. We will not ask the Contutionnel to be consistent with itself, and not to retrograde when it has taken the first step. In the times in which we live acts are daily giving the lie to the words and promises of M. Thiers. M. Thiers gives way to anger, but at the same time he is endeavouring to see whether he maybe able to return to power by a back door. , We are tempted to believe that the article of the Consti tutionnel is not unconnected with such a wish. Whilst it makes some avowals not very agreeable to the system, the Constitationnel takes good care not to attack the prin ciple of the English alliance. On the contrary, it lauds it in an indirect manner, and pretends to prove that M. Gni:a has greatly compromised it. Does M. Thiers, profiting by the diplomatic embarrassments with Eng land on the subject of Spain, wish to offer himself as a saviour? This is quite possible. We declare before hand, however, that this fourth rupture with the British Government will end, like the three others, in some dis graceful concession." The Siècle, vvh;3ll has always hitherto been un sparing in its attacks on Lord PALMERSTON and on the English alliance, says, in allusion to the revelations made by the Constitutionnel in the article alluded ;o- " If these facts be true, and we have too much reason to believe that they are, are we to be astonished at the bitter fruits produced by a policy at once perfidious and pusillanimous ? Will it now be said that the revolu tion is to be blamed if France has no more allies in Europe ?" The French Government, without waiting for the ratification of the treaty of commerce with Russia by the Chambers; without waiting to see whether, before that ratification, any advantages will be con ceded to French vessels entering Russian ports, has taken upon itself, not by ordonnance, but simply by a letter directed to the officers of the Customs, to at once admit Russian vessels and cargoes on the most favourable terms. The Presse, in speaking of the treaty having ex pressed a hope that the advantages conceded to Rus sian vessels in French ports will be granted to French vessels in the ports of Russia, the Univers says — "The Presse whose sympaties in favour of Russia are well known, does not inform us whether the borderies of the Cabinet of London have contributed to hasten this arrangement, but the terms in which it ex presses itself give reason .to fear that this is the case. The Gran d polzteque has perhaps fund in this treaty a new ves:ation for Lord Pal merston. It is not y et rectified, and we are never theless told that already the Director-General of the Customs has given orders for Russian vessels b e ing from this moment treated in our ports as th e vesse l s o f o ur own nation. Has not France in ord er t o obtain the conclusion of this treaty, too hastily dispensed with certain obstacles, in abandoning pretensions which she had hitherto maintained ? We can coeceive that the Autocrat, notwithstanding the eager cond esce n s ion of our Government, wo uld wait for the ratification of the treaty before he permitted our vessels to enjoy the favours which from this m oment we grant to the vessels of Russia; but the Presse dots not say whether these privileges are to be reciprocal e:ren after ratification ; ft merely hopes so. We hope, says the Presse, ' that the same favour will be g ranted to our vessel s .' Th e ex p ress ion, it must be admitted, is rather strange in a journal which defends with so muc h ener gy th e rights of our commerce in the relations wit h En g land. If the question was a thhop w ould e commercial treaty con cluded wit h the Cabinet of London, o frceiproFity would not sa ti s f y th e P resse , which not ic fail to demand explanations from the Journal des Debuts. In our turn we entreat the Presse to explain the modest language that it uses as regards Russia. Its hopes are nu " t of a n a t ure to tranqu illi se our commercial interests. --TheCO;stitutionnel, while stating its approval of the treaty, condemns the Ministry for acting con trary to law. It says — "We do not attack the treaty in itself; we are even dis • posed to approve of the general spirit which has dictated it, whilst regretting that it is applicable only to the navi gation between our ports of the Atlantic and the Chan nel, and the Russian ports of the Baltic ; but we demand in virtue of what law the Government executes the stipu lations of this treaty ? There is a law of 1614, which concedes to the Government the faculty of modifying cer tain customs' tariffs within certain limits when the Cham bers are not sittkg, on condition, however, of submitting these modifications to the legislative sanction in the beginning of the following session ; but this law, which accords to the Government an exceptional power, which it has used too frequently, does not relate in any manner to tonnage or navigation dues. It is inappli cable to the present circumstance, and we are not aware that there has been any intention to appeal to it. Where, then, does the Ministry find out the right which it now arrogates to itself? Apparently in this pretension—that treaties when signed have no need to wait for the legislative sanction. We thought that this question had been de finitively resolved i n 1826 . Th e m atter related to a similar treaty p assed between France and England; the discussion was a l ong one, and M essrs . Cassimir Nocier, Sebasti an i, Royer-Collard, and Humana spoke aga i n s t Messrs. e Vil:fil e an d Syieys de Mayrinhac. The question w as eventually decided b y a l aw i n favour of the power o f P ar li ament. " According t o t h e Courrier F ranca is, it was re ported at Malaga that ABB-EL-KADER had dethroned the Emperor of MOROCCO. A copy of the second protest presented by Mr. BULWER to the Spanish Cabinet was delivered to M. GUIzOT on Monday, by the Marquis of NORMANDY. A letter from Toulon, of the 2d, says— " The Turkish fleet, under the orders of the Grand Capitan, was on the 10th of September in the port of Saloniki, which it was to leave on an early day. No news had been received of its ulterior movements, but, according to news received at Malta, an expedition against Tunis was more than ever considered probable. The English Ambassador at Constantinople being per suaded, notwithstanding the assurances of the Porte, that a serious enterprise was really intended, and for which Austria a n d R ussia ha d prom ised their aid, directed the Go vernor of Malta to sen d, w i t h ou t d e lay, to ' Tripoli, of Barbary , s evera l o ffi cers , for the purpose of a certaining if prep arat i ons were real l y b e i ng made for an expedition by la n d a l so against Tun i s. I n consequ ence, the Ilecla steamer, scarcely arrived two days from Tripo li, with dispat c h es f rom the British Consul, again left on the 18th of September for that port, having on board Captain Tidy, of the staff of the garrison, and Captain Rullo, of the 42d. This steamer returned to Malta on the 21st, but did not bring back the two officers. That circum stance leads to the supposition that their stay at Tripoli was deemed necessary, But did they remain really to watch the preparations of the Porte against Tunis, as the Malta journals declare? Time must resolve that question." _ COIIRS AUTHENTIQUE, PARIS, OCT. 6.—French Five per Cents., 1171. 75c. 70c. 7ir , 80c. 75c. 70c. 75c. 117 f. 70c. 65c. three per Cents., 82f. 75c. 70c. 75c. 70c. 65c.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 bales were taken in on speculation, principally of middling qualities of American. For Egyptian and Surats, decidedly full prices have been paid. The tenor of the accounts from the United States favour the movements of the specu lators. By the last accounts received from Canada, we are happy to observe that the directors of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad have resolved upon commencing that important work, and proceeding with it through the eastern township, without present reference either to the general body of scripholders in London, or to Americans. We have no doubt that, by pursuing this course, they will ultimately procure ready subscriptions in England, to complete it to the Province line, or as far towards it as would be necessary for a purely Canadian enterprise. There is no question that will be of great advantage to Montreal, and as the first sections which are proposed to be completed and at once opened to the public will command a large traffic, the attention of ca pitalists will be effectually attracted. With respect to the cotton crop of the United States we are thus advised by the latest arrival:— " NNW ORLEANS COTTON TRADE, 1845 AND 1846. The season commencing on the Ist of September last may be said to have opened under highly flattering prospects for ready sales, at fair prices—a position of the market in favourable contrast with the gloomy features which characterised the advent of the previous year. This cheering promise was derived from a view of the un paralleled degree of activity which prevailed in the ma nufactures both of Europe and this country, and bright anticipations were very generally entertained, notwith standing the early impression which prevailed that the crop would prove a large one. As the season advanced, however, its progress demonstrated a very ma terial failing off in the amount of production, as compared with the previous year—a circumstance which would unquestionably have led to an important enhancement of prices under a continuance of the favourable lea- Wres which marked the opening of the commercial year."

A 36 lA THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—Numerous workmen are busily employed in removing a portion of the scaf folding by which the colossal statue of the Duke of Wel lington was raised to the top of the triumphal arch at Hyde-park-corner, but in consequence of the firmness with which the timbers were braced together, the pro gress is very slow. No correct idea can be formed of the general appearance which the statue will p resent when it is fully exposed to th e v i ew of the public. FOREIGN POTATOES.—It IS . now some time since we had occasion to notice an importation of potatoes from abroad. A vessel arrived at Bristol from Jersey, in addition to a variety of other articles, had 100 cwt. of this esteemed and much-spoken -of article on board; and the steam-ship, Ocean, arrived on Monday, from Rotter dam, had thre e h ampers of potatoes on boa rd, the growth of Holland, and the first arrival of the kind from that country for several months past. SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DlSTlLLERT.—lnformation has been received by the Commissioners of Excise of the seizure of an extensive illicit distillery in Manchester, which illegal traffic, notwithstanding the vigilance of the authorities, appears to be on the increase. From sus picions entertained by Mr. Watson, an officer of Excise, he went to a house in Butler-street, where he disco vered a distillery, completely fitted up, on a scale calcu lated for carrying on a large business, with stills, worms, heads, &c. The stills, at the time of the entrance of the officers, were in full work, and two men, who gave the names of Davis and Ryley, were attending to them. They were, at the moment of detection, running through the stills low wines, known to the trade as "faints." From the appearance of the fittings-up of the distillery, it is believed that this contraband trade must have existed for a considerable time. ALARMING HIGH TIDE.—On Wednesday the tide of the river Thames rose to an alarming height, causing a serious destruction of property situate in all the low-lying cellars and warehouses near the water-side. At Bankside and Lambeth the loss of property is very great. Many of the dwellings of the poor dredgermen and others were inundated with water for hours, compellingmany families to leave their humble habitations until the water had been pumped out by the means of pumps, &c. The tide likewise visited Vauxhall, Nine Elms, Battersea, Wands worth, and Chelsea, where many of the market gar deners' and florists' grounds were covered with water tor a considerable period, causing extensive damage to their choice flowers and vegetables. The flood is mainly 'eAtri bated to the boisterous state of the weather. 7 3 4 7% ii P 72 A P 1% 134 ' 24% I A P 1 % P 3714 21% 12% 3% 40% lqi 1 454 1 3 4 13 1 / 2 14 1 / 2 8143 THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. By the packet-ship Yorkshire, Captain Bailey, which arrived in the Mersey this morning from New York, after a fine run of twenty days, we have re ceived advices from that city of the 16th ultimo. The Yorkshire also brought a considerable number of passengers, and during the passage encountered very severe weather. These advices, though but one day later than those received by the last Halifax steamer, communicate a mass of interesting details concerning the movements of the United States forces. The result of Santa Anna's return to the Government of Mexico upon the relations of the country with the United States would appear to remain still entirely doubtful. The tone of the American journals would seem to indicate however, a less confident belief that pacific effects were to follow. The details received from the United States force in Cahahuila possess considerable interest. The ut most activity prevailed at Camargo in the dispatch of the troops en route to the interior. All the regu lars, with the exception of one regiment, had left the depot ; and General Taylor, according to the latest dispatches received at Washington, expected to make a further advance with the volunteers by the Ist of September at the latest. General Wallis's brigade had left on the 22d of August, with orders to ad vance towards Monterey as far as the village of China, and to remain there until further advised. The reports made to General Taylor as re gards the state of the roads were very unfavourable. Colonel Hays, who with his regiment had succes sively visited the towns of San Fernando and China* lying in the route, returned on the 26th of August to Camargo, and reported to the Commander-ill" Chief that the advancing troops, baggage, &c., would encounter many difficulties, and the men experience great fatigue, from the rugged nature of , the ground over which the route lay. Nothing like a military road, or one affording easy transit for arrnea bodies, from Camargo to Monterey, indeed, existed- From San Fernando to Chino, a distance of 1 00 miles, Colonel Hays found the road exceedingly ue' even, and occasionally precipitous, ascending and eta; scending huge hills, thickly covered with jungle al* chaparral, and brushwood interlacing, so as to reac t the pioneers' labour indispensable. During his march, he had visited all the ranchos or farms, which studirj the country in profusion, but the most profme tranquillity reigned throughout. The accounts with regard to the Mexican foie' still remain indefinite and meagre. A report was ill circulation at Matamoros that a party of Americ sll adventurers had taken possession of Monterey will' out encountering resistance. From other quarters on the Mexican frontier ti tg accounts published in the newspapers are of no N V ment. The advices received from St. Louis, ho ever, express fears that General Kearney's comm a.° would fall short of supplies. The Indians were cil l ' rying on a system of depredation against the trade!! It is stated in some of the letters published in t p : journals that they had offered their services l' the Mexican commandant at Santa Fe, to /IS the army. This statement has not since been C O firmed. From the Pacific there is no further intelligent; The United States ship Columbus was expected the coast of California. The internal affairs of the United States are 1; tirely unimportant. Mr. Bancroft was expected _... leave New York for London by the Great Wester:, on the Bth of October. Mr. M`Lane had bad- le audience with the President at Washington. 74 learn from St Louis that two Mormon spies had 130 0 shot by the anti-Mormon mob at Nauvoo. Th is ' t y is feared, is the commencement of a sanguinary Cc' eict between these factions. NS The ship Eben Preble, from this port to j Orleans, had been lost near Key West on the 27th hie August. The ship on that day struck on the D6 9 . l : iy , headed Shot Keys, causing her to leak verri, ii,.. and in attempting to reach Key West the blige d to creased, and the officers and crew wer e c ',, , r ho ld, abandon her with eight feet of water in Pe, Port' They were taken off by the brig Harriet, et de l, land, Captain Collogan, from Havannah far Phila. , h 4 phia, and afterwards but narr ow ly escap ed 5 wreck on board the vessel in a storm off C a p e tto teras. The Eben Preble was afterwards taken IP Xey West by the wreckers. t o From Canada we have accounts to the 14th They are entirely unimportant. OPERATIONS OF THE ARMY AND NAvir. (From the Washington Union.) A .OO The last mails bring no very late intelligence ,`",,0 the army on the Rio Grande. The last dispatches P:a, General Taylor state, that the army will be on the 5;0 vance for Monterey by the Ist of September, at to latest—perhaps several days earlier. The coey, b o begins to be impatient for action. The heroes 0450 6th and 9th of May displayed such energies on te t y memorable occasions as could not but encourag e ~0 1 0 most sanguine ex p ec t a ti ons of a prompt and vig e 'oo campaign.
