JULLIEN has the honour to state that his Annual Series of concerts will commence THIS EVENING, October 30, 1846, and be continued FOR ONE MONTH ONLY. M. JULLIEN has great regret in announcing that he is impera tively called upon to terminate this Series of Concerts at a period so unusually early, but the new Proprietors of the Theatre, having stipu lated for possession of the premises on Tuesday, December Ist, in order to commence the demolition and rebuilding of the interior, for their grand Italian Opera, M. JULLIEN has no alternative. The hist Cknicert will, therefore, most positively take place on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28 . m. Notwithstanding, however, the shortness of the Season, M. TULIAZN has determined to present to his patrons every possible attraction, and has made Such arrangements as will afford them 'our Weeks of Unrivalled Musical Entertainment. During the recess 1:e has composed a usw Grand Descriptive Military Quadrille, to be "THE BRITISH ARMY QUADRILLE," nd intended as a companion to " The British Navy," which was :tat winter honoured with such distinguished approbation. In order to sender complete the Grand and Novel Effects intro- Paced in this Piece of Music, M. JULLIEN has (by the kind comic oension of the Military Authorities) succeeded in engaging, (entirely in addition to his own complete and numerous Orchestra), FOUR DISTINCT MILITARY BANDS, v.k. : The Band of HER MAJESTY'S Ind LIFE GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. WAETZLG (by the kind permission of Colonel WILLIAMS) : The Band of HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL HORSE GUARDS, BLUE, under the direction of Mr. TUTTON (by the kind permission of Colonel SMITH): The Band of TIER MAJESTY'S GRENADIER GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. SCHOTT (by the kind permission of Colonel HOME) : and The Rand of HER MAJESTY'S COLDSTREAM GUARDS, under the direction of Mr. GODFREY (by the kind permission of Colonel SHANE). These Four Grand Military Bands will, during the progress of the Quadrille, be combined with the Concert Orchestra, and form a Musical Ensemble at once novel and extraordinary. The whole conducted by M. JULLIEN. The immensely increased expense incurred by the above arrange ments is evident. The Prices of Admission will, however, remain as formerly ; M. JULLIEN (having considerably enlarged the space allotted to the Promenade) intending to trust for his remuneration to an increased number of Visitors, rather than to an augmentation in the prices of admission. _ .

A special train, on the Great Western Railway, was ordered at the Paddington station at half past one o'clock this afternoon, to convey the Minis ters to Slough, on their way to Windsor Castle, to attend the Privy Council held by her MAJESTY, for the further prorogation of Parliament. Parliament is at present prorogued unto Wednes day, the 4th November. Lord JORN RUSSELL, Sir GEORGE GREY, and several other Ministers, left town by the special train. The Lord Chancellor is staying at Winds or Castle, on a visit to the QUEEN. Who is there that has perused any of the remark able statements put forward by the llon. and Rev, S. G. OSBORNE who has not been thoroughly awakened to the lamentable condition of the agricultural labourers in Dorset , hire, and made feelingly alive to the imperative necessity of some immediate step being taken for their benefit? Even those most opposed to that amiable and enthusiastic philanthropist, and most deeply hurt at the exposures he has made, must give him credit for the purity of his motives, and deplore I the circumstances that induced him to stand forward as the champion of the poor and needy, to abandon the seclusion and privacy that was most congenial to his habits, that would suit best his character and sacred profession. The best evidence has been afforded that the interference on his part was not unwarranted or uncalled for, that the state of the working man was not that which it ought to he, and that it was—in the language of the first resolution adopted at the meet ing to which we are about to allude—"such as to give occasion for the immediate efforts of an energetic and well-directed benevolence to produce a per manent and effectual improvement in their condition." On Monday a meeting was held at Dorchester for the purpose of " establishing a Labourers' Friend Society, with the view of bettering the condition morally and physically of the rural labourers and working mechanics and artizans, by carrying out the field garden allotment system under judicious regu lations," over which the High Sheriff of the county presided, and which was attended by the Lord Bishop of the diocese (Salisbury) and several Members of Pat liament, clergymen, magistrates, and country gentlemen of rank and influence. A hope was held out, in which we cordially par ticipate, that the working of the society would not be limited to the objects specified in the requisition convening the assembly, but that the sphere of its duties would be considerably extended and enlarged, until it comprehended everything relating to the wel fare or comforts of the classes for whose peculiar benefit it was called into existence. We cannot, however, expect to see any society in its infancy attain the strength to which it may afterwards, in due season, aspire, and too wide a circle in the first instance might impair its efficiency, and prevent it from coming to full maturity. " The child is the father of the future man ;" and it is, perhaps, well that for the present its exertions should be directed ex elusively towards " the carrying out of the field allot ment system," while from its very style and title, " The Labourers' Friend Society," we may draw the happiest auguries for the future. Wherever the allotment system has been introduced and judiciously acted upon, its results have been most favourable, both morally and physically, to the parties who have been participators in its advantages. It has afforded a healthful and innocent occupation for those hours of idleness that might probably have been wasted in the beer-shop, or expended with worthless and profligate characters, to the deep and lasting injury of the uneducated labourer. Some occupation is ever necessary, and the nursery hymn that states that— " Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do," has had its truth attested during all times and periods. The possession of a certain plot of ground that he can call his own, the idea of property thereby oc casioned, the certainty that he will be permitted to enjoy it during good behaviour, " dun, se bene gesserit," and that any aggravated offence or crime may incur a forfeiture thereof, has been of the greatest service to the poor man, and has ensured a degree of industry, a correctness of conduct on his part, that few other means have been sufficient to effect. A Select Com mittee of the House of Commons has reported in the strongest manner in favour of its utility ; and with such powerful evidence on its behalf it is only sur prising that it has not already been brought into more extensive, we may say into universal, use. The statement of the Hon. and Rev. W. SCOTT cannot be passed in silence ; it speaks more eloquently in favour of the system than the most brillir.nt orator:; it shows the rise and progress of the good work. That Rev. Gentleman said that— " When ha entered on the living of Maiden Newton he was ironically congratulated on having got the worst parish in the country to deal with ; and he himself was no less than six times in that very court as a prosecutor. In thelastthree years, during which allotments had been in operation in his parish, he did not thilk he had been seen there. In the first year of the allotments two Con victions took place, and there were consequently two forfeiture* ; but from that time not one out of eighty holders had c omm i tte d any offence to call him up before a magistrate." Can there be a stronger testimony to its benefits ? It is not merely the addition to the bodily comforts, the affording a means of profitable employment during the dead season, when he would be unable to procure it from the farmer—it is not merely that the oc cupation of his leisure hours, which, with perfect faithfulness to his master, he could devote to the cul tivation of his allotment, would produce sufficient to support the labourer, if he were quite without wages for thirteen weeks in the year ; but there is some thing still more desirable and important,—it keeps him from crinae, it brings his mind into a better state, it renders him more contented and happy, less exposed to temptation and firmer in his resistance thereto; and many an humble but happy family may bless the day when the husband and father became a tenant of one of the land allotments. The benefit, too, is a cheap one, it can be conferred with little, if any, ex pense. The same rent that could be obtained from a farmer would be most gratefully and punctually paid by the labourer —what prejudice then has hitherto prevented its adoption ? Is it the fear lest the in creme the f Population would also increase the poor- rates ? The very possession of the allotment has almost every instance prevented the necessity of any application for parochial assistance, and has lessened the burden wherever it was brought into judicious operation. We hail the formation of the society with joy, because we conceive that it will do away with this unfounded prejudice—because it will set an example that will in all probability be extensively followed—because each individual member will to a certain extent be pledged to do all within his power in his own particular ;sphere for the amelioration of the condition of those dependent on him. Well might the Right Reverend Prelate exclaim that— " The association which they were about to found was but a practical means of carrying out a higher law ; that they were in the path of duty when endeavouring by all means in their power to lighten the burden of poverty, to stimulate industry, to encourage honest ex ertion, to cheer depression, and, by raising the physical state of the labouring classes, to give a better oppor tunity for the cultivation of their moral nature' and the development of their spiritual being." Eight days later intelligence from America ar rived yesterday morning at Liverpool by the Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia. From this intelligence, which is of a somewhat startling character, we may discern much that is immediately disastrous to Mexico, while we are disposed, nevertheless, to trace out in the very calamities which have just befallen her military indications of her ultimate advancement among the most flourishing republics in the new world. It is to be hoped that such anticipations may at least in some measure be realised, and that after her many decades of tribulation, Mexico may assume to herself that majesty and prosperity which she is so well calculated to attain, both by her geographical position and by the voluptuous prodigality of her climate. By the former qualification, if it may be so charac terised, Mexico is more adapted to become a gigantic, influential, and opulent nation, than any other terri tory in the western hemisphere. Situated in the southern portion of the northern continent, and con nected by the Isthmus of Darien with the northern portion of the southern continent, Mexico is the ne cessary receptacle of all the overland intercourse be tween the different inhabitants of America. By her numerous ports situated upon her eastern and western l i coasts, she commands both of the great oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic, thereby facilitating her mercantile intercourse with the shores of Europe and Africa in one direction, with those of Asia in another, with the spice -islands in the Indian Ocean, and the numerous clusters situated in the southern seas. Beyond this the soil of Mexico affords oppor tunity for the accumulation of extraordinary wealth through the medium of cultivation. It does not, like the stubborn glebe of a more northerly region, require to be fattened by artificial manures, or to be stimu•• lated by incessant applications of lime; it requires neither a complicated irrigation nor an elaborate drainage, but emits a spontaneous vegetation, and that vegetation of the most profitable description. In addi tion to the capabilities offered by this embryo state, it may be observed that the national character is one which, despite its superficial degeneracy, presents ex traordinary facilities for a speedy and permanent im provement. The torpor and effeminacy of the Mexicans have been superinduced, not by centuries of domination and conquest, but by a protracted state of national quiescence : hence these are essentially remediable. From their very indolence the Mexicans are pliant in disposition ; they may be modelled to any state of excellence by a suitable government, and by being brought into such immediate intercourse with more civilised and thriving races as to be excited to exertion by a consequent emula tion. Mexico possesses all the materials for a grand and enlightened people ; those materials only require to be fused by a correspondence with other kingdoms, and to be shaped by a judicious Legis lature. While the well-wishers of Mexico are meditating upon her possible re-organisation ; while they are actually recognizing in the minimum of her present enterprise the maximum of her future prosperity, the wily and unswerving invaders from the United states are vigorously availing themselves of their previous successes for the realisation of yet more important victories. Hardly have Texas, and California, and New Mexico yielded to the annexing influence of American generalship,:before the forces under General TAYLOR push forward to the battlements of Monterey, and after a gallant defence of five days by the garri son and auxiliary troops, commanded by General AMFUDIA, render a formal capitulation on the part of the latter absolutely necessary. Although Monterey is taken, and AMPUDIA vanquished, it must not be imagined that this originated in anything like national poltroonery. On the contrary, we would especially direct observation to the gallantry evinced by the besieged army—a gallantry which is not merely suf ficient to redeem the Mexican soldiers from indis• criminate derision, but which has even evoked the tacit acknowledgment of the conquerors. The particulars of this engagement at Monterey are the most interesting that have hitherto reached us from the seat of war since the commencement of hos tilities. On the 10th of September General TAYLOR, with a force amounting to 6,000 men, encamps at the Walnut Springs, a spot removed some three miles from the city. Monterey is reconnoitered im mediately upon his arrival, and arrangements made in accordance with the information thus acquired. On the 20th instant a futile attempt is made by a division under General WORTH to capture the heights overlooking the epis copal palace ; on the following morning the same endeavour is renewed with better success, while a di version is made in a different quarter by two other divisions, supported by the Tennessee,.Mississippi, and Ohio regiments. By the evening of the 22d considerable advantages are gained by the assailants, which advantages are materially increased during the subsequent day; but not until a quarter past five on the evening of the 24th—namely, five days from the commencement of the operations—is the capitulation extorted from the Mexican General. It would be preposterous to deny the vanquished army the credit of having displayed considerable courage and fortitude during this serious and protracted engagement. But, as a lasting testimony of the valour of the Mexi cans upon this occasion, we subjoin an epitome of the terms of capitulation given at length in another column ; and we are induced to call especial attention to these terms, because, from their remarkable and almost unparalleled lenity, they are a triumphant re futation of the sarcasms and aspersions latterly cast upon Mexico, The terms of the capitulation were— " That the Mexican officers should be allowed to march out with their side arms; that the cavalry and infantry be allowed to march out with their arms and accoutrements ; that the artillery should be allowed to march out with one battery of 6 pieces and 21 rounds of ammunition ; that all the other munitions of war and supplies should be turned over to a board of American officers appointed to receive them ; that the Mexican army should be allowed seven days to evacuate the city; and that the American troops should not occupy it until evacuated ; that the cathedral, fort, or citadel, should be evacuated at ten A.M., next day, 25th; the Mexicans then marching out, the American garrison marching in; that the Mexicans should be allowed to salute their flag when hauled down; that there should be an armistice of eight weeks, during which time neither army should pass a line running from the Ranconada through Linares and San Fernando." Whether the Government of the United States will accede to these pacific stipulations or not, it is manla fest that a vast proportion of Mexico has already been wrested from her by the lawless aggression of an avaricious neighbour. Meanwhile SANTA ANNA maintains his preponderance in the internal legislation of the beleaguered republic. In his patriotism, the Mexicans have the true palladium of their aggregate independence as a nation, and their individual liberties as a people. If they consolidate their strength and place their reliance upon their present President, the fertile mountains of Mexico will not be trodden by a conquering army, and her people may yet emerge from this struggle with the Americans unscathed, and even invigorated. If the expendit ure o f money i n I reland for the employment of the p eo pl e b e con fi ne d to the making of new roads, or to the cutting down o f o ld ones, t h e Irish people will on ly b e t emporary ga i ners, inso much as only the m one y t o b e pa id to the 1 labourers will be so much more money circulated in the neighbourhood where public works are under taken; but, if the Government, by a judicious direc tion of the funds at their disposal, will drain some portion of the bog lands now lying waste, a large . breadth of land will be r9ndered suitable for corn 'cultivation, and a large addition will be made to the means of permanent employment for the pecple. One instance of this kind has been brought under our notice. An English Mining Company have been working the mines of Killibricken, in the barony of Islands, county of Clare, seven miles from Ennis. These mines produce lead and silver ores, and about three hundred of the neighbouring pea santry are employed in the works during the summer months, and the monthly expenditure for labour is about five hundred pounds ; but as the mines are situated in the centre of a large bog district, when the winter rains descend the bog is overflowed by the streams, the water per colates through the peat, and the mines are filled with water. When this happens the mines cannot he worked, and the mining operations cease from the month of December until May—the peasantry, who, 'luring the summer months, have acquired industrial habits, are discharged, they fall back amongst the agricultural labours, and, as at this season of the year very little work can be given to them by the neighbouring farmer, much want and misery is felt by them. A sum of 3001. expended in draining the bog, and one or two of the adjoining lakes, would not only render nearly two hundred acres of land available for cultivation, but would cause the Killi- bricken mines to be worked during all seasons of the year. Now, this is one of many cases in which an advance by the Government of the funds necessary for draining the bog lands would confer a permanent benefit upon the district, for not only would three hundred people be constantly employed, the country permanently benefited by the increase of cultivated surface, the habits of industry perpetuated amongst the labourers, but, also (what is much wanted in:the western parts of Ireland), a great increase to the circulating capital in a comparatively poor locality. We think this matter wants the attention of the Board of Works. Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. According to the Heraldo, the decree dissolving the Cortes was to have been published on the 23d.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Presse, the organ of the Tuileries, thus sums up the affair of the Montpensier marriage, and gives vent to its hatred of England, her institutions, and her people : " French diplomacy has accomplished a work of the most lofty bearing. It has effected this in the interest of the country, in the plenitude of its right, and with all the courtesy which a great nation owes to its allies. In the great interest of the country—and, we may add, in that of Spain likewise, which escapes by that alli ance , or rather by th e renewal of its best alliance, from that political and commercial servitude with which England menaced her—Franc e no longer apprehending that the rivalry which pursues her on the seas will place itself in her presence at the foot of the Pyrenees and threaten to bring down on her that spirit of revolution of which she is the evil genius. France is sure hereafter to find in Spain, where the worship of monarchy will long be perpetuated, a friendly power and a faithful guardian of her southern frontiers, and, if Spain succeed in recovering her ancient prosperity, and in resuming her rank in the world, an ally which may aid her some day to maintain the balance of power on the seas, so much compromised by the formidable force of England. France must find henceforth in the union which has been ac complished an advantage which cannot but ameliorate her position in the world. A struggle for influence has taken place in Spain between France and England, and France has been victorious. This result alone would be of the highest import ance but this importance is in creased still more b y the dissatisfaction manifested by England, and by the impotence of the efforts which she multiplied in order to avert the check which she had not foreseen. The result is accomplished; and whatever may hereafter ensue, the crown of Strain shall not fall on the head of a prince devoted to the policy of Eng land. But France, whilst securing this result, has not violated any of the bases of public law in Europe. She has not interfered with that principle of the balance of power in Europe established 150 years since to secure the eternal separation of France from Spain. Shoul I events, impossible as far as human foresight can imagine, produce that confusion which Europe wished to prevent, the renewal of the renunciations which formerly served as a means would soon place the matter beyond the influence of any leers, still more now that Princes enjoy but a restricted power, and that the sovereignty belongs principally to the two nations who assuredly would never consent to abdicate or confound their nation ality. Their separation is secured by force of events more powerful than any renunciation or any treaty; and Europe, which already found a sufficient guarantee in the fair-dealing of our Government, finds a still stronger security in the constitutional liberty of the two nations whose union she might fear. Nothing, therefore, has been done contrary to the law, or contrary to the inter est of Europe. Nothing, moreover, has been effected in violation of diplomatic courtesy towards England. The French Government would have sacrificed its personal convenience rather than depart from the provisional en gagements contracted with her ; but England herself departed from them, and so dissolved those en gagements. The introduction of a new candi date, a stranger to the royal house of the Spanish Bourbons—the efforts made by British diplomacy to effect the success of the candidate devoted to her interests—an intrigue on the point of being accom plished, clearly in contempt of the promise given—this it was which the French Government discovered at the very moment when she trusted in the engagements con tracted with her. The effect of that discovery was to permit her to oppose, n fr o e t e a h n e i r nt f r r i o g m ue h t e o r e a e n g egem intrigue, ent ' b a t nd a negotiation as ho nourable as it was skilful to a manoeuvre as unskilful as it was perfidious. That was what caused her success and established her right, and what renders as ridiculous as odious those declamations which the British diploma tists have resorted to, and the manoeuvres which they put in practice, in order to oppose difficulties to an ac complished fact. What remains of all that at present ? Die alliance is concluded ; but England has protested beforehand against the consequences of that alliance. She has declared that she would never acknowledge (the case arriving) the accession of the descendants of the Duke de Montpensier to the throne of Spain. That is to say, that she wished to leave a perpetual menace of war suspended over Spain and an eventuality of universal confusion over Europe. England loves to create situa tions which cause nations to feel uneasiness respecting their future prospects, and which, by occupying them at m e s e , preventofh t w h o e r m id. from lt opposing ore pposi i ng her usurp at i on of the h a bi tua l odious policy she p ursues in Eastern throughoutbh a o s t thee India, and even in Europe ; and the admirers of her policy cite with enthusiasm the art with which she succeeded, in 1815, in confining the states of the Continent within a net of internal embarrassment s and eventual conflicts which would Effectually prevent them I from opposing her designs. But on this occasion this menace, which might perpetuate agitation in Spain by maintaining the hopes of all parties and of every pre tender of every colour to the Government of that coun try, is so vain that England might have spared herself the odium resulting from such an act. To believe that Spain will force the daughter of her Kings to abandon the rights she possesses by her birth and by the consti tution of the country—to believe that Europe will expose itself to the chances of a new war of succession to re venge the discomfiture of a meddling Minister, whose name will sink into merited oblivion —would be an act of insanity; and assuredly neither France nor Spain, nor Europe, need trouble themselves with such pretensions. But the most certain result, and in our eyes the best consequence, of this struggle, is the enfeebling of that exclusive alliance which for some years past has placed France at the tail of England. It is the conclusion of all the sacrifices which the illusion of that alliance cost us. It is a term placed to the unpopularity which re sulted to the Government in consequence of the tenacity with which it adhered to that alliance. England has proved herself throughout this affair, and in the discus sions which ensued from it, so haughty, so insulting, s o full o f i n j urious and hostile intentions, that no person in France at present—neither people, nor King, nor Minister —can reta i n any illusion on the impossibility of ever establishing a cordial and sincere alliance between France and England. The veil which covered the eyes of the most blind has now fallen; and on the other hand, disembarrassed from the grasp of the cordial understandi ng , France comprehends that she ought to return to he r natural alliances with the states of the Continent. And she comprehends it so much the better , that in thi s affair of the Spanish marriages, where the interest s o f t h e nation and the interestof the dynasty were equally engaged, she found in Europe that assent which England disputed with her, and that sincere benevolence of which England offered her the mere illusion. Such, in our eyes, for the present, is the not, a most impo r t ant result of this affair. The s French . believed, su b serv i ent to the will of England, and that It could bra vo h er anger and her hatred in presence of a great na ti onal interest. The French Government Govern ment demonstrat e d th at i t was was has elevated the policy of France in the world, by causing her influence to prevail over that of England. l We willingly permit the Opposition journals to bewail nthmeerhuspattuisrfeaoetfiotnh,ethcaotrdwiael u m n a d y er d s e ta fy nding, so much the so ever tore - establish an alliance whose rupture more as this rupture is hailed by public opinion with himself fall excite such sentiments amongst us.

Such are the present results of the affair. God only knows what may be the future consequences ; but if new complica tions are to be produced by it, law is on the side of Spain and on ours. The opinion of nations, and no doubt that of Governments, will be on the side of the law. The disgrace, and we trust the defeat, will be on the sid e o f England. But, above all, may it please God that there may arise from the new situation in which this incident has placed our Government a new system of alliances which may at length unite all the nations of continental Europe in a common understanding against their com mon enemy,. England I We were asked some days since what nations we would desire to see combined, in this new cordial understanding, and why we inclined for an alliance between our country and Russia ? We wish to sum up in a few words our entire opinion on that subject. We are convinced that sooner or later a contest will tuke place between the Continent and that Power which uses it for her own purpose under favour of its divisions. This contest will be particularly a maritime contest ; and now that the naval power of Spain is de stroyed, we see only Russia that can lend us that effica cious support in Europe which the United States are re serving fur us in America. It is our opinion, in a word, that for the repose of Europe it is necessary that the colossal power of England be reduced, and that this power shall not fall except under the triple alliance which her three national enemies will one day form-- namely, France, Russia, and the United States." The Commerce, which, equally with the Presse, disapproves of the entente cordiale with England, is equally opposed to an alliance with Russia, which the Presse has for some days past been advocating. "Do you know," asks the Commerce," what you would sanction by an alliance with Russia ? Ask that nation of fifty-four millions of men, held in the bonds of servitude and ignorance by a Sovereign who, to the all-absolute power of political ehief, unites the intolerance of the supreme head of reli gion; ask the victims of Minsk and Poland, which has not yet, notwithstanding three partitions, and all the efforts of usurpers to denationalise it, become assi milated to the people which seized on its finest pro vinces." The Constitutionnel has a long article on the affairs of Portugal. The writer, who is evidently well acquainted with Portugal, thus describes the cha racter of the Count DAS ANTAS, the chief of the in surrection in the north : " The Count das Antas, then Lieutenant-Colonel Xavier, commanded at Terceira the sth battalion of chasseurs, which was the first to rise in favour of Donna Maria on the usurpation of Don Miguel, and which preserved that island for the cause of the Queen in spite of its inhabitants. He distinguished himself during the war of Don Pedro; was made a general, and commanded the auxiliary Portuguese force, which, in virtue of the treaty of the quadruple alliance, contended in Spain against Don Carlos. He returned to Portugal at the head of his troops at the moment of the war of the Marshals, and it was evident that the contest would be decided according to the part which he might take. Restrained by the bonds of past subordi nation to the Duke de Terceira, excited by the perspective of ambition, which was opened to him by serving the opposite party, he would become its arbiter, and the first military chief. This consideration decided him, and the Constitution triumphed. At a later period he took part in the compromise between the Chartists and the moderate Constitutionalists. Commanding at the present moment in the north, he has large means at his disposal, and has begun to make use of them in order to prevent his dismissal. He is a resolute man ; with ambition, without having too much, his decision consists in taking advantage of circumstances, and, above all, in not allowing his own position to be lowered. Lie is the friend of the soldier—the comrade of the chiefs —more truly the officer in authority than the marshals —and particularly so, from the fact of th e i r not h av i ng been for a long period in immediate contact with their troops. It is impossible to know what is passing in the mind of a man tormented by continual alternations of power and reverses, heated by conflict, and having fre quently only a choice between supreme power and abso lute distress ; but if the Count das Antas has approved of the declaration of the Junta of Oporto, which pro claims the dethronement of the Queen, it can only have been under the influence of momentary anger, or from having been led on by associates who are evidently more ardent than himself." The writer then proceeds to speak of the conduct of the Court, and concludes the article in these words— " How shameful is the conduct of these Polignacs, au petit pied; of these imitators of the Gonzales Bravos, of all these abortions of champions of absolutism, who thus place in peril a throne and country! Let us hope that their adversaries will have at once more force and more sense than them. One of the best things done by the Portuguese people was, when after having conquered the attempt at counter-revolu tion of the King and Queen at Belem, their regarding the madness of the act as expiated by its failure. Things were replaced upon their former footing, as if the es capade had never taken place; but such follies are dangerous; it is not prudent to tempt fortune ton much. On the other hand, the Portuguese Liberals must know by their own example and that of Spain the dangers of excess. Monarchy, in a country where everything else has gone to dust, is the only common link; republican virtues are not to be created solely by the faults of a court. The Queen, and even the King, have good qua lities in spite of their blindness. The overthrow of Queen Christina did not profit Spain, and whilst Queen Christina was a foreigner, the Libetals of Portugal have, in the united names of Donna Maria and liberty, fought for several years, and they have now the good fortune of being able to respect their princes, whilst struggling against the folly and madness of the Court. We wish them to have the wisdom which has been wanting in their adversaries." It was generally considered in the political salons of Paris that the Queen of PORTUGAL had acted throughout by the advice of the King of the FRENCH ) and that the late counter-revolution was the result of a French intrigue, the object of which was to give France an opportunity of interfering by means of her vassal Spain in the affairs of Portugal. The inundations still continue, and cut off in a great measure the communications between the capital and the provinces. At Marseilles no Paris mail had been received for four days, in consequence of the inundation of the Loire and the Nievre. The inundation of the Rhone had subsided, and it was found that the railway bridge at Tarrascon had sustained no injury. The illoniteur publishes the 'following telegraphic dispatah, dated Brest, Oct. 25 : "La Somme, Loire, Allier, Recherche ' Pilote, Cara vanne, and Jouvencelle have just sailed from this port ; the first three for Oceania, the two following for Senegal, and the last two for the West Indies." The Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER arrived at Bayonne on the 26th. Before the Duke quitted Madrid Queen ISABELLA presented him with the rich and splendid insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece which was worn by her father on great occa- sions, and also the sword which his late Majesty wore with them, the hilt of which is entirely set with diamonds, and the pommel of one large topaz. The alarming aspect of affairs in Portugal, aggra vating the gloom and apprehension caused by the Montpensier marriage, and adding to the unfavourable state of our money market on Monday, produced a considerable fall in prices' on the Paris Bourse on Wednesday.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Ze Dicu et la Bayadere, that exquisite composition of Auber, in which plot, vocal music and ballet have b een combined with such marvellous felicity, presented us last night with several deUtants. Mr. Rafter, who enacted he Unknown, is young and good-looking, and although his voice is neither very powerful nor very extensive, and his notes occasionally veiled, he is unquestionably en acquisition to the establishment. The other accession to the vocal troupe is Miss Messent, a pupil of the Academy. This young lady has a highly intelligent countenance, and although her dramatic action as yet displays inexperience, it is far from displeasing. Her voice is clear, her notes liquid and resonnant, and she sings with aptness, taste, and feeling. She displayed considerable facility as well a s power, withour resorting to that species of shouting to which our best English singers are so much addicted. The Bayadere was itnpersonnated by Mdlle. Adele Dubignon, who appeared to produce a highly agreeable impression on the audience. In figure, she is petite, with a winning look, and a highly graceful manner; her person is well formed, excepting perhaps too great an amplitude of the lower limbs—and withal she has the quality in a dancer—for present impression and for future promise—youth. Her pantomine, without being vivid, is highly intelligent, and in her dancing there is variety and effect, without effort.

MONEY and CON' I ERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Q UA.III TO THREI The Cotton Market at. Liverpool yesterday was firm, at the previous advance, althou h the accounts from Ame rica notice some relaxation in the speculation going for ward. Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 bales American on spec ulation, and 500 for.exportation. Shares were steady, though not active. The accounts from the United States, per Hibernia,- are almost entirely occupied with the warlike operations in Mexico, which are again, despite rather a gallant re sistance, all in favour of Brother Jonathan. The markets for produce have been active again, and large shipments continued to be made to Europe. Respecting political affairs in British North America, the following is interesting :—" There has been no change in the heads of departments, forming the Execu tive Council or 'Responsible Government,' since the departure of Lord Metcalfe, excepting the appointment of Mr. Caylcy as Inspector-General of Accounts, and the retirement of Mr. D. B. Viger, who was President of the Committees of the Executive Council : we have not heard of any other being appointed. " Some new signs of life, have, however, been shown on the part of the Ministry, who resigned in 1843, although they had a decided majority in the Assembly. The ensuing election put them in a small minority, and they kept up a continued clamour and opposition during the two past sessions, without, however, proposing any thing in the shape of reform, of which 'A e had heard so much. They, in fact, sanctioned all the past expendi tures, in establishing which, they, indeed, had some share, when in power ; concurring in old and new taxes, and imposing new laws, and new burdens on the com munity." Upon the subject of the timber trade, we are advised by Messrs. Forsyth and Bell, of Canada, that " the winds, which in August and the early part of September were prevalent from the west, have changed, and for the last fortnight have brought up a very heavy fleet, about 300 having arrived since our last, and our port now is in full bustle and activity. " White Pine.—The accounts from Liverpool are to the 18th ult., when'a steady demand for wood goods was experienced, and prices had gradually advanced since spring lid to 2d. per foot on mostly every kind of square timber. This, with the tonnage now in port, and daily expected, would, in ordinary times, have been very perceptibly felt in our market ; but the heavy stock on hand in some measure neutralises the effect of the progressive advance in England, and many sellers are most anxious to realise. Still the sales have been on an extended scale, at prices varying from 3d to sid., in the raft, measured off." The accounts from India by the overland express bear out what was stated under this head when the pre vious arrival took place, and there seems to be a continued heavy appearance in the markets for im ported goods. In exports there had been a slight increase of business at Calcutta, and the rate of the exchange was again lower. At Bombay the markets also were dull. Freights were tending downwards. The weather and the approaching Poojal holidays checked business, but as regards imports the stocks no doubt were too large. At a meeting of parties connected with the Indigo trade, it has been decided that the future sales shall be held in February and May, and that goods in second hands shall be separately catalogued. The Stock Market is to-day by no means in a better :tate than at the conclusion of business yesterday after noon, and it is certain that the nature of the intelli gence from Lisbon, Madrid, and Gibraltar, combined, made a decided impression here in encouraging Bear operations. Consols are now 94 to I-, being full per cent. lower than they were yesterday morning for imme diate transfer. Time bargains have been effected at 94k- to 94k. New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have been 94 to 95, a similar decline on the previous rates of this week. Exchequer-bills are almost nominal at Bs. premium. Bank Stock is worth 204 only, and India Stock 256 to 257. The Foreign Bonds all share in the decline. Spanish Three per Cents. are 36} t, the Five per Cents. 25f i ; Portuguese Converted, 38i to 40 ; and Mexican, 21i to t. This is settling-day, and there are some rather con siderable differences to make good. Shares Lave been generally well supported. There is a call upon North Staffords, and this makes them lower. French lines are dull. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns 93% 9274 3 per Cent. Consols Annuities 9 4 14% 94 1 / 1 New 34 per Cent.
