Spanish affairs are at length giving promise of a speedy and amicable settlement. By an extraordi nary express, given elsewhere in The Sun, we are inforLned that the marriage of the youthful Queen of SPAIN is no longer matter of conjecture. All the chicaneries and rivalries and jealousies of. foreign Courts are,brought to a definite termination ; the intrigues by which the causes of so many suitors have been advocated are suddenly dissipated, 'and the royal husband has been selected in such a manner as to excite no sentiment of discontent or animosity among the continental Sovereigns. Queen ISABELLA is to espouse her Majesty's cousin, the Duke DE CADIZ, eldest son of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA ; while the wishes of King Lows l'nuteeE arc to a considerable extent to be realised by the marriage of his MAJESTY'S youngest son, the Duke DE MONTPENSIER, with the Infanta Mar.t.l LUISA FERNANDA, sister of the Queen of SpAix. It cannot but be a source of gratification to all those who arc sincerely anxious for the realisation of social tranquillity throughout the territories of the earth, to observe the pacific manner in which this important matter has been conducted to a conclusion. Upon the question of this marriage have depended all those anxieties all those disturbances, all that rancorous eon /..o:tir S t e Aii,V.,. ( A party, which have latterly placed ,1 ; --- rtti — Splhish Government in such a precarious 4.;•'„ •' - ' ..; '•- 4 d which have excited so many p05h.0n,..( n C ( .4'4. evideneeil . disa ff ection in the eastern quarters of . . the PeninQa. No mattEr what may have been the avowed friiinciples by which the passions of the Opaniirdi have been latterly kindled, the cause of the rilE different claimants to the hand o f their SOVEREI GN has been the intrinsic and extri nsic m otive of th e i r insubordination. But that the phrase I SABE LLA, we should say that her JES'E'Z' had been be construed into a very sorry comp.': LnratigthotQeauseielyn " a bone of contention" between a - most powerful interests of the continental mom !c dies ; and those bickerings of external diplomacy b !ave aroused a cor responding antagonism among the 13 9 3 'm subser vient to her dynasty. What must particularly strike 41 = ?observation of every Englishman as the most sa &Asia story circum stances in the proposed espousal of r , VIEEN ISABELLA are—first, that no foreign Prins !Al{ been forced upon her acceptance ; and, sec nen y, 1 hat the present arrangement partakes sonThwhat . 0 . f the peaceful cha racter of a domestic so that the policies of the continental Cabin :ets cannot well he jatz ndiced by po litical envy, or the minds of statesmen i n fl ame d b y jealousie'i of each other's success. Whether the chos'en partner of her .MAJESTY'S destinies be, according to matchmaking pariam ;.e, the most eligible among her numerous s aitors perso nally, there can be little questi on but that politically the selection is the result of much saga cious forethought. What was hither to a matter of serious contention 'between the Imper ial families of Europe will tbe.zeby be quietly rem , ved from the attainment of any, without causing re gTets or heart burnings of even momentary duration. . What, more over, was precarious in the Spanish G overnment will, simultaneously with that marriage, 2 cquire both sta bility and strength. Those lawless pirits who have merely an affection for rebellion and . bloodshed will have less opportunity, and less excuso for fomenting insurrections ; and the social condif ion of the inha bitants of the Peninsula may so far be melio rated, as to afford some reasonal )1e hope for their greater civilisation. By rnarryir. .g the Infante Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS, Queen ISAB ELLA may be com mencing a new era of prosperity, tnd glory, and hap piness to Spain. We might uriloubt-adly, in'. the score of physiolo gical evils resulting frem incessant intermarriages between Faecestive generations —as instanced in the imbecile descendants of the elder branch of the Boi:enoeze and in those of the Royal Family of the BRAGANZAS—we might for those indubitable reasons find cause for regretting the marriage of the young QUEEN with her cousin. But, considering all the evils which will be avoided and all the inestimable advantages which may be acquired by this connexion, we cannot even here find cause for paramount re grets or serious apprehensions. What noble oppor tunities will present themselves for the display of a timely beneficence on the part of the Spanish SOVE REIGN ! What opportunities for eliciting the loyalty and ensuring the affection of the Spanish population! Pope Pius IX. has, by seizing such opportunities, and by corresponding with the exigencies of the time, kindled the enthusiasm of a previously dis affected populace, and excited the admiration of every honest heart in every corner of the globe. All this he has accomplished within the trifling interval of the few months which have now elapsed since his elevation to the Papal chair. As Cardinal MATTE] FERRLTI his benevolence, and piety, and gentleness of disposition had already acquired the love and esteem of his associates and neighbours ; as Sovereign Pontiff he has thus rapidly obtained for himself a great and honourable celebrity. And all this simply by acceding to the de mands of a liberal and enlightened generation, by evincing justice, and candour, and generosity in his administration of affairs. Such another oppor tunity for good things will be afforded to QUEEN Is a BELLA by her marriage with her cousin, the Infante Don FRANCISCO; by availing herself of which opportunity her dominion over a vast and splen did empire might be peacefully consolidated, the well-being of her people might be immediately consulted, and the union of a divided race might prove the most brilliant and satisfactory conse quence. Discretion, however, should of course tem per leniency, otherwise wrong might result from an extravagant struggle for right. May the councillors of Queen ISABELLA direct her judiciously at this important juncture of her history! Such a golden moment may never occur again. An am nesty would be welcomed. Among other paramount circumstances let it not be forgotten that ESPARTERO still continues in banishment. [An additional express, containing intelligence of the betrothal of the royal couple, has reached us since the above was written. We have now to congratulate ourselves upon the performance of the preliminary ceremony of that marriage, the mere promise o; which appeared to us sufficient reason to rejoice.] The sentence pronounced on HENRY will be perused with the greatest approbation by all, and will go far to prevent the recurrence of a similar attempt, which, considering the morbid passion for cre ating a sensation that exists amongst our continental neighbours, would be by no means unlikely, if the offender was treated as a great criminal, and much interest excited in his fate. Contempt, however, is the prominent feeling towards him, and that, coupled with the degrading nature of his punishment, will have a most beneficial effect on persons of a similar class, who might be tempted to act in like manner. Many who would shrink from death at the hour of its approach, would not regard it with the same horror if its arrival was to be delayed for a season, and various forms and ceremonies gone through in the intervening time. As in HENRY'S case, the man who could not screw up his courage so far as to commit suicide, might yet commit an act which would eventually lead to his conviction and execution ; and the knowledge that the punishment for that act would be a protracted one, compelling him to a life of hard and unmiti gated labour, would have much greater effect in de terring him from the commission than if it were the extreme one of death. The manner in which the would-be regicide received the announcement of his sentence sufficiently proves that he was surprised and disappointed at its nature. " On hearing it read by the Registrar of the Court," says the Journal des De.bats, "he trembled convulsively, and a sudden paleness covered his features, in which intense anxiety was depicted. He appeared to be much shocked. I would have preferred death to infamy, said he. I ex pected something else." In fact, his hope was that he would be sentenced to death, and that from the mitigated character of his offence, compared with that of LE COMTE and the other miscreants who have sought an infamous notoriety for themselves, at the expense of the wise and benignant Monarch who now sways the sceptre of France, he would have obtained a remission of the extreme penalty, and been detained for life as a state prisoner, with comforts and luxuries, which he from his em- Larrassed position would have been unable by other means to procure. He took every precaution to pro vide evidence to which he might have appealed in the event of the sentence of death being about to be carried into execution ; he carefully prepared a written statement containing an exact recital of all the preparations he had made, to induce a belief that his attempt was serious; this he concealed in a copper tube, plugged at each side with wood, and buried a depth of eighteen inches in the cellar of the house where he resided. There appears little doubt that he calculated that this, which he considered an indis putable proof of the truth of his assertion that there were no projectiles in the pistols, would have saved his life if really in danger. And he now feels bitterly disappointed in finding that his condition, in place of being ameliorated by his act, is far worse:than it was before. his pride would not permit him to work as a journeyman at his trade, although he might have earned a comfortable provision by so doing, and he is compelled to a much severer description of labour, unrelieved by any mitigating circumstances. The great object to be attained in according punishment is the prevention of crime on future oc casions. Our own beloved SOVEREIGN was exposed to similar attacks. The first offence of OXFORD was speedily followed by that of FRANCIS, and then of BEAN : the latter probably resembled HENRY most cl o sely in his objects and motives. The example was catching ; imitators followed in the track of the first criminals, until it was wisely decided that corporal punishment, flogging —the most infamous and disgraceful of all, should be inflicted on any future offender. We are happy to say that from thenceforward we have been spared the pain of re cording any similar outrage. GOD knows we are no advocates for the lash. Our country has too long permitted its 109 in both the branches of the service, LONDON, THURSDAY E It should only be used on criminals of the deepest de pravity, of the most infamous class ; but we cordially approve of its use in such cases. We should have no objection to its appli cation on such offenders as JOSEPH HENRY. Seven times has the life of Louis i'IIILIPPE been attempted. The peace and tranquillity of the world, the happiness and prosperity of nations, have been endangered by the atrocious acts of miscreants, ac tuated by various motives. The evil is a fearful one; it requires active and energetic measures to prevent its further spread. We think that the nature of HENRY'S sentence is a step in the right direction ; we hope that it will be followed up by enactments, authorising rigorous and degrading punishment for any demonstrations against the life of the French Sovereign ; and, by so doing, the Monar h will be spared from such annoyances and the people from knowing that their beloved ruler is subjected thereto. Punishments create terror according to the rarity of their infliction ; a constant repetition takes greatly away from the effect the horror excited. In our own country the lash does not excite the same horror— from its being known that it will be used on our soldiers or sailors for offences of the most trivial cha• ,•aster, involving no moral guilt—that it would in France, from whose punishments it has been blotted out altogether. Let such criminals be declared liable :hereto, and it will go far to prevent the possibility cf s similar offence. The Countess Sam°Low, the widow of a Russian nobleman, has had her property confiscated by the Russian Government, because she has con tracted a second marriage with a foreigner in Trieste. The Countess has large estates in Russia, which will he put up to public auction in the space of six months. The 'Warsaw Courier of the 26th August publishes a new ukase from the EMPEROR, which states that all persons condemned to hard labour for life in the kingdom of Poland, and even all those condemned to hard labour and to imprisonment for stated periods, if their punishment has yet five years to run, shall be sent to Siberia. The first-named shall be employed 20 years in the mines, and shall be colonists for the rest of their days. The others shall be employed in mines or at fortifications for the half of the time which their punishment would have lasted in Poland, but they are also to remain for the rest of their lives in Siberia. It is not stated whether the prisoners are free to accept or refuse these conditions. In the Augsburgh Gazette of the 27th August we find it announced that Prince PASKEWITCU has been entrusted with the execution of a plan for relieving the inhabitants of Poland from all the feudal services which at present they are liable to render. Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have arrived. They all speak of the marriage of the QUEEN with Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS as of a matter completely determined on. The news from Lisbon by these papers is to the 22d ult. The rumour that GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled, at the instance of the Por tuguese Government, on account of his intrigues in favour of the CARRALS, is confirmed. The Spanish army, which, in consequence of his representation, had been concentrated on the Portuguese frontier, has been withdrawn, and the two Spanish ships of war which he had ordered to Lisbon, have been dis patched to Vigo. Admiral PARKER, in consequence of the directions given by General VILLALONGA to qis troops, to pursue the Spanish refugees into the Portuguese territory, had immediately on his arrival at Lisbon sent off a steamer to Corunna with dis oAtches to VILLALONGA, warning hi.n to abstain from All armed demonstration against Portugal. MADRID BOLSA, AuG. 27.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34* for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 211 ; the Five per Cents. at 22i ; the Debt without Interest at 64 ; and the Coupons at 20*. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. On Monday the Chamber of Deputies were engaged in discussing the validity of the return of M. DRAULT for Poitiers. M. DRAULT was a member of the Left Centre, but in order to secure the votes of the Legiti matists, he had given them a written pledge to vote in a certain manner on certain questions. His return was petitioned against on the ground that, having given a written pledge, he did not enter the Cham ber as a free agent, that he was in fact a mere delegate and not a representative. The .fiscussion on this question, involving as it does the whole theory of representative government, was very animated and very interesting. M. Guizoz, who is opposed to this system of pledge-giving, thus detailed his views of the true theory of representative Government. He said "that hitherto he had refrained from entering into the question of pledges given by candidates to the electors, as he considered it as one of great delicacy. He now, however, felt that he could no longer remain silent on the subject. The great characteristic of a representative government was, that every member should have the free exercise of his own conscience. At the two extremities of the :Government there was irresponsibility. The KING, who appoints peers and ministers, is irre sponsible, and the electors, who named Deputies, were .o likewise. The giving of pledges would tend to overthrow the equilibrium that ought to be main tained, as it would confer power on those who did not discuss. What would be said if the Crown were to require pledges from the Peers of France whom it created ? The Crown did not demand any such en gagement, and why should electors ? It would, in his opinion, be the subversion of a representative govern ment for a federative one ; which was the worst of all governments, for it was the aristocracy of localities. To grant to the electors the right of requiring pledges, was to create 459 sovereigns; it was to bring together in a hostile manner a c,Ttain number of absolute sovereigns, and thus destroy the unity of France. The requiring pledges struck at the root of all free discussion; it abolished the freedom of those who took part in debate ; in fact, it was the abolition of a free government. It had been said that those pledges were null. The Chamber did not recognise them, and they were consequently not obligatory. That doctrine, however, he must designate as an immoral one. It was like a man contracting a debt of honour, and then not paying it. It had been also said that a Deputy from whom pledges had been required might resign. But what would be the consequence of such a state of things It might follow that on the very day that the Government had rallied round it a certain number of Deputies, those men might find themselves compelled to resign. The liberty of the Deputy, he repeated, should be unlimited, and therefore he thought the election ought not to be validated." M. ODILON BARROT, who supported the return of M. DRAULT, admitted the validity of M. GUIZOT'S theory, but contended that it did not apply to the case then under consideration. He observed— " That undoubtedly the constitution did not recognise, in a legal point of view, the giving of pledges by a would l)ePu tYand if such introduce afea federative e c g ti o ce were government established tfura it repre sentative one. But, be would ask, was there really any great danger of such a result in the present day ? Could, fur instance, the pledges now protested against be for a moment assimil a t e d t o t h ose commonly ' given in a Swiss canton ? There was nothing but a moral engagement, and into that the Chamber had no right to inquire. Were, indeed, that d one i t would be to exercise a species of inquisition. Where was the limit to be placed. How far was a candidate to go, and where was he to stop ? When was an election to be an nulled under a moral engagement ? If a c an did ate, i n a meeting of electors, pledged himself to vote against flotations, was the election to be annulled ? Certainly not, for if that were done the majority would be deci mated ! (Hear, hear.) AI; Drault had entered into personal engagements, such as he had a perfect right to take. But it was objected no pledges ought to be given, xeept in conformity with one's convictions. Granting that, by what right was the Chamber to decide on any inan's sentiments ? Why was it to be changed into a confessional ? Was it when the pledge was given on one point or on several that the election was uull ? Where was the line to be drawn ? Ile maintained, that M. Drault had morally engaged himself to support opinions which were his own, and that he was per lectly justified in doing so." On a division the numbers were for annulling the return, 151 ; against it, 134. The Opposition papers of all shades are outrageous against this deci sion of the Chamber. The Legitimatist France designates it as an abuse of the right of majorities. The C onstitutionnel stigmatises it as one of the gravest and most violent acts that has been committed by the Parliament for the last fifteen years, and it would say for the last thirty years, if the ex clusion of MANUEL had not been the first ex ample of that abuse of strength on the part of the majority in arbitrarily attacking the minority. And it sneeringly asks, " Does not M. GUIZOT know that in his Cabinet he has himself taken from many can- SUN, SE PTEMBI.I R 8, VENING, didates precise and positive pledges to vote for Minis ters on all Cabinet questions ? Does he not consider the honour of those Deputies as pledged, precisely in the same degree as the honour of M. DRAULT can be ?" while the National concludes a furious tirade against M. GUIZOT in these terms : " The vote is a curious one! We saw some Conser vatives who had stood up in favour of M. Drault avoid the ballot, whilst others of the number voted against him; and as the balls became equal whippers-in were dispatched to find a number of functionaries. The great victory was then achieved. M. Drault was declared unworthy to sit in the Chamber, because he had pledged ::imself in writing,to vote for electoral reform; for the reform of the laws of September; and to refuse dota tions! Scarcely was the result known when the Left, with one voice, uttered cries of ' Bravo, bravo.' Yes, bravo! that is what must be repeated. They trust be encouraged in this ruinous path; they now walk in it, but they must be induced to run; they are impelled by a vertigo; let us not retain them! let us press them forward." The Chamber, on Tuesday, elected its fourth "Vice President. It will be recollected that M. D ELESSERT the fourth Ministerial candidate, did not obtain an absolute majority on Saturday, when the other three Vice Presidents were elected, and that therefore a new scrutiny was ordered to be taken. On this oc casion M. DELESSEAT was successful; he obtained 147 votes out of 280, while M. BILLAULT, the candi date of the Opposition obtained but 86 ; M. VATOUT, 9 5 ; and M. DEBELLEYME, a Vice-President of last session, but who since the recess has been ccquetting with the Opposition, only 20 votes. The following letter from Rome, dated August 2 is published in the Semaphore de Marseilles : " The Pope steadily pursues the accomplishment of his work of regeneration in the midst of impediments every day raised against him by the enemies of progress. The Jesuits become more and more uneasy, though without cause, if they have only the interests of Christianity in view. If, however, they aim at some thing else, they may with reason feel apprehensive. Heaven, in giving to the Church an enlightened Pon- Jiff, appears to intend putting an end to intrigues which cause such a serious prejudice to religion. At his last weekly public audience; his Holiness heard the claims of forty eight persons. Those who had not brought with them a written account of their grievances made a viva voce statement, of which the Pope himself took notes. His Holiness is occupied with the means of developing the resources of the public wealth —resources which have been hitherto allowed to lie dormant. For this purpose chairs of physic and of mechanics, applied to arts and industry, have just been founded at La Sapienza; a chair of political economy is also talked of. Piedmont has just given a noble example to the other Italian states, by addressing to the Pope its eounatulations on the work of regeneration he has undertaken. Amongst the prelates acting as provincial governors, who actively concur in the system of Pius IX., must be distinguished Monseignor Ricci, the legate of Civita Vecchia, a son of the celebrated poet formerly pupil to the children of Murat. Eighty Individuals who were confined in the bagne at Civita Vecehip, on mere suspicion of being connected with political affairs, have been liberated through his active solicitude. Cardinal Gizzi, not wishing that the generous wish of his Sovereign should be imperfectly carried into effect, has just addressed a circular to the authorities, recommending them to practise kind treatment towards the liberated political offenders, and in no case to allow their past conduct to prejudice them in the honest life they may now wish to follow. The same paper contains advices from Oran of the 25th ult. The whole colony was in a state of pro found tranquillity, although Ann-EL.KADER was still hovering abuut the frontier. Accounts have been received in Paris of the death of the Right Rev. Bishop LUSCOMBE, for many years chaplain to the British Embassy at Paris. lie died suddenly at Lausanne on the 24th ult. of disease of the heart. The death of the venerable prelate creates a vacancy in the chaplaincy of the Embassy, which is in the gift of the English Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Gazette de France states that the Minister of Finance has declared to several high commercial per sons that the conversion of the Five per Cents. and Postage reform shall be amongst the earliest ques tions brought forward after the opening of the en suing session. Circulars have been issued to all the prefects, to forward to the Government all the information they can procure as to the proluce of the harvest, and the state of the potato-crop.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN. We have received by extraordinary express a let ter from our Paris correspondent, from which we make the following extract:— " PARIS, TUESDAY NIGHT, SEPT. TEN O'CLOCK. " Intelligence has reached Paris from Madrid o an official and highly important character. " It is decided that her Majesty Queen Isabella shall marry her Majesty's cousin, the Duke de Cadiz (eldest son of Don Francisco de Paula), and that the Duke de Montpensier, youngest son of King Louis Philippe, shall marry her Majesty's sister, the Infanta Maria Luisa Fernanda. " It is further settled that the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier shall leave Spain immediately after the marriage, and pass some time in France."—Times• EXPRESS FROM PARIS. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. (From the Times.) We have received by extraordinary express from Paris a letter from our correspondent in Madrid, fully confirming the intelligence we published this morning. We make the following extracts from our corre spondent's letter : " MADRID, AUG. 28. "If what I am now about to mention, and I am assured of it by a person who has opportunities of acquiring information, and who is considered good authority, be true, all further speculations on her Majesty's marriage are at an end. " It is said that the ceremony of the betrothing was performed last night at the Palace, between the Queen and the Infant Don Francisco d'Assis. " I am also assured that it was done in the most mysterious and surreptitious manner, and that not more than four or five persons were present. " It is unnecessary to dwell on the importance of this news. That something out of the usual course occurred at the Palace about eleven or twelve o'clock last night there is little doubt. "I have just learned that at two o'clock this morn ing the Minister of Grace and Justice, M. Caneja was summoned out of his bed to a Council of Minis ters ; at the same time several employes of the Minis terial offices were summoned, and in particular the Keeper of the Archives of the Department of Grace and Justice."

The Government have at last published the decree prolonging the term granted to the Bank and Con fianza Company for the suspension of payments. A fresh delay has been granted for forty days from the 20th instant. This measure was fully expected, and caused no difference in the discount of Bank notes, which continues-at about nine per cent. lhe Polyphemus came in yesterday f. om the squadron, with which almost daily communication is maintained either by s t ea m or signal. The Constanc e , Sp ar t a n, Raleigh, and Eurydice frigates have joined the Admiral. IRISH RAILWA Y COMPANIES.—Mr. Labouchere has stated that he would entertain the grant of loans to Irish railway companies which bad obtained Acts of Parliament . and the Parliamentary deposits on which had been bona fide paid up, and continued in bank to the credit of the companies. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales 8,000 to 9,000 bales, including 2,500 on spenla tion. Pernarn, 6d., Egyptian, 6d. to 7d., Bahia, 6id., Sea Island, 11d. to 16d., and American 4d. to 6d. Shares were dull. Some alllusion bas been made by one or more of our Morning Contemporaries to the conduct of the Directors of the Hudson's Bay Company in underselling purchasers of gc ods at their periodical sales. There is little doubt but the Directors are to blame. We shall make in quiries, and report thereupon to-morrow. The state of the Stock and SEare Markets in New York is anything but favourable. We are upon this subject, thus advised : " Many of these quotations of Stock are merely nomi nal, in the absence of operations. There has recently been very little business done in State Stocks, or, in fact, in any description of stock security, real or fancy. Even the quotations for those in which transactions have been made, are no indications of their actual value as invest ments, either temporary or permanent. The position of public affairs, at present, is such as to preclude the pos sibility of obtaining prices for our really good and sound stocks, near their actual value ; and so long as there exists that uncertainty and doubt in relation to the operation of those measures affecting our commercial system, and our externa affairs continue in their pre sent state, vie cannot hope for or expect any improve ment in prices, or in the demand for stocks for invest ment or for speculation. "Considerable anxiety exists in relation to the course the Government will pursue in regulating its own finan cial affairs. Several attempts were made, before Con gress adjourned, to compel the Secretary of the Tr• u sury to report whether any Treasury notes under the new law, had been issued, and if there had been, to what extent, and at what rate of interest. None of these at tempts were successful, and we are, therefore, without any official information unon the subject. We are, however, informed that the new issue of Treasuey notes has taken place at the south west, and that an issue will be made here in a few days It is possible, however, that the bulk of the new issue will first appear at the south and west, as these notes can be put into circulation upon more fa vourable terms to the Government— that is at a less rate of interest—than at the north, where there is not so much demand for them. We have no doubt, however, but that nearly the whole amount authorised will be issued at a 1 nominal rate of interest. Had the independent Treasury Bill gone into operation at once, the new issue of Trea sury notes could have been made more easily, and at a more reduced rate of interest, than they will be now, as there would have been a demand for them to make pay ments to the Government, at different points, where they would otherwise be required in specie. Even under ex isting circumstances, there is very little doubt but that they will obtain a circulation, if they are not forced out, by putting on a high rate of interest—as, in that case, they would be sought after for permanent investment and be locked up in the vaults of capitalists, where they would remain until called in by the Government for final redemption. If these notes are issued at a nominal rate of interest, they will be continually going into and out of the Treasury; they will be to the Government what paper issues are to a bank, and will ebb and flow, so that they will answer the purposes of a much larger amount, if that amount was absorbed by capitalists and salted down. An issue of ten millions of Treasury notes, if issued for investment, upon proper principles. would be paid in and taken out of the Treasury several times in the course of a year, and would iu this way be equal to an issue of several times the amount, made in such a manner as would make them desirable invest ments." The Consol Market has been extremely steady to. clay, at 96i for the Account; for Money the current value is 96. TN) premium on Exchequer-bills remains at 18s. to 21s. India Bonds are at 255. to 30s. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 2081- to 2092. In the Foreign Stocks a very considerable amount of business has been transacted this morning. Spanish Five per Cents. have advanced to 27k; the Three per Cents. to 39k; and the Dutch Two• and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted at 60. In the Railway Share Market the transactions have been rather considerable to-day. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 2091/4 2083% 2091/2 3 per Cent.

So long as Imperial duties were imposed in favour of the mother country's produce there was a shadow of a pretext fur this arrangement. It might be said that local officers ap pointed by local authorities might connive at evasions of the Imperial restrictive policy in favour of local interests. All that is now at an end. Colonial Customs' duties are only to be levied in future for purposes of revenue, and they are to be imposed by the local Legislatures—where there are any. It will be found conducive to general economy, and to honest discharge of duty, that the power of nominating to and removing from such offices should also be vested in the local authorities. The remote Imperial Board of Customs cannot detect and check delinquencies in subordinate officers so well as a local assembly or council. The only use of retaining such appointments in the Board of Customs is to enable its members to diffuse their patronage in favour of retainers over a wider sphere. As long as the Board of Customs dispense these appointments the colonies will be subject to periodical immigrations of small, conse• quential officials, looking down upon the " natives," and re lying for support against all accusations upon their great friends at home. There is no convincing home authorities of the delinquencies of such protégés. With a noble spirit of independence the creatures themselves bid defiance to all at tempts of the colonial representatives to keep them in the line of their duty. They are a nuisance in the colonies; and all the benefit the mother country derives from their ap pointment being vested in the Board of Customs Is, the per petuation and aggravation of low political corruption. Musgrave Brisco, Esq., M.P., and Mrs. Brisco have left Harrogate for their seat, Coghurst Hall, near Hastings, Sussex.
