DEAR PAPA AND MAMMA, I suspect that you'll smile To find me adopt the poetical style. But, nevertheless, I've a wish to compose A metrical letter instead of a prose. The Midsummer holidays soon will be here, And Fred in your presence will shortly appear. lint before I return, I have something to say Which I'm certaia will not put you out of the way. I shall want a new suit, you are fully aware, For the dress I have by me begins to look bare. My request, then, is this, that you'll purchase nic one Of no other Tailors; than MOSES and SON. My last, you're aware, was obtained at their Mart, And ev'ry one says 'ti: uncommonly smart.: This favour, I hope, will be freely conferr'd— If not, I shall be a complete " speckled bird." For the whole of my school-fellows —barring not one— . Are chest in the suits of E. MOSES and SON. A durable suit has my present one been — For, in spite of my "knockings-about" on the green, MY romping and climbing, and other rough play, Not a part of the clothing has once given way. Altogether my elegant garments have done .Great credit, indeed, to E. MOSES and SON, And therefore I hope that yoa'lt do what rye said And fix upon just such another for Fred.

(t e - I: r . , • •_ _ mandant of a battalioy6f the regiment of Guadalajara, with whose family / Mr. Bulwer maintains relations of friendship, has ex,eited a revolt in his troops, and a t th e , lead of his soldiers has raised the standard of rebellion _ peaceable city, with the singular circumstance of having attacked the dwelling of the Infanta of Spain, without regard either to the state in which 'the young Princess at present is, or to the modest retirement to which she had betaken herself in her misfatlatne. The loyalty of the garrison and of the inhabitanfe4 Seville very speedily put down this new attempt, although at the cost of lamentable losses. Scarcely had the newspfthis fresh disaster spread through Madrid, when the pstblio indignation was at its height; because all the world knows that the chief of the sedition owes his place to the influence of Mr. Bulwer; because this event comes in confirmation of the opinion formed since those events which preceded it, as to the active part which this di plomatist takes in the internal questions of the country; and, finally, becauee this occurrence has only served to corroborate the apprehensions which the recent depar ture of Colonel Fidge (Fitch). Mr. Buie, er's agent, for Andalusia, caused to be entertained. The resentment which the populace of Madrid and the troops which garrison it entertain in consequence of the encouragement to rebellion which they attribute to Mr. Bulwer, reached such a pitch, that her Majesty's Government entertained serious apprehensions with re gard to his person, if the attempts at disorder should be renewed in this capital. It is impossible to describe the indignation which Mr. Bulwer's presence excites in Madrid. Let it suffice to state to your Excellency that even if the Government had less ground for resentment against this diplomatist, for his own security it should cause him to depart from Spain, as the only alternative recommended by prudence in such critical circum stances. Her Majesty's Government has so determined it, delivering passports to Mr. Bulwer, together with the note, of which I herewith transmit a copy to your Ex cellency. Her Majesty's Government enjoins your Excellency, the instant you receive this communication, to endea vour to have a conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in order to make him understand that the deci sion of her Majesty's Government can in no way wound the dignity of the British Cabinet, since, besides that it is warranted by the law of nations, there are not want ing frequent instances in which the withdrawal of a Foreign Minister is required, and this being required with regard to Mr. Bulwer, and for reasons which are notorious to his Cabinet, the Spanish Government, in consideration of the urgent circumstances, has deemed it more prudent to give this Minister his passports, than to expose itself to a conflict by waiting for the order of his Government directing him to withdraw. Moreover, - this decision is itself by no means offensive to the English people or to its Government, because at the same time Spain does not decline to receive another Minister from England, and does not refuse to the English people the fulfilment of any obligation or en gagement. The departure of Mr. Bulwer might be offensive to England, if in itself it signified an offence; but her Majesty's Government is so far from thinking that it thereby offends the English Government or can wound its delicacy, that, on the contrary, it hastens to afford every species of explanation through your Excellency, carrying its desire to avoid the possibility of this occurrence producing a coolness in the relations of friendship which unite Spain and England, to such an extent, as even to have arranged that the respectable Count de Mirasol should immediately pro ceed from this to that Court with an especial commission to satisfy the British Government as to the conduct of that of her Majesty, and in order to offer to it every sort of assurance with regard to its friendly , sentiments, and to its desire that Rye, more than ever, in the midst of the convulsions which atict Europe, the intimate re lations by which the two people are united may be main tained. I , Her Majesty's Government trusts that your Excel !grey will ex er t y ourse lf i n or d er t o cause the Engli s h Government to comprehend these sent i ments o f s i ncere friendship,cause and that you will endeavour by all means to them to b e ma d e pu bli c an d notor i ous among t h e notable and influential persons of a country ever noble and generous, and ever friendly to Spain. By royal order I state this to your Excellency for the objects poi nted out. God preserve, &c. (Signed) THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR. VISCOUNT PALMERsTON TO M. lIITURITZ. _ ce, June 6, 1848 Sir,--I have had th h e i : Foreign mour to Offi receive your letter . of the Ist inst an t, in w te e otohuarset, aswhtihoehreyhouat: not been time for you to knew a t: Government will adopt in con se quence you do qu n e o n t ee r of my refusal to authorised to receive Count Mirasol, mix yourself up with the mission wi e t e l l i place, w hich he charged. In reply I beg, in the first to you, that you were aware on the 26th of t rif re a I could not receive Count Mirasol ; and that, neverthe less, less, on the 29th of May, so far from representing yourself as unauthorised to mix yourself up with his mission, you led me to expect that you would add to the note, which you were then about to send me the statements which the Count had brought. But without dwelling further upon this discrepancy be tween your communication of the 29th of May and that of the Ist of June, I must now, upon broader ;rounds, once more, and formally, on the part of her Majesty's Government, ask from you a written commu nication of any statement on behalf of your Government of which Count Mirasol is the bearer. Allow me to re mind you of the facts which have given rise to this cor respondence. The Spanish Government, on the 17th of last month, took a step of which modern times furnish few examples; and desired her Majesty's Minister at the Court of the Queen of Spain to leave Madrid in eight- And •torty hours. The principal motive assigned to that Nitnister for so vi , lent measure was a professed desire to remove him from an assumed personal danger; a dan ger from which, if it had any existence, it was the duty of the Spanish Government to protect him; but which it rested with him alone to determine whether he should retire from or face. It must have been evident to all mankind that a proceeding, apparently so affronting to the British Crown, req u i re d f rom t h e Spanish Govern ment either a complete justification or ample apology and reparation; and it must also be plain to every one that the justification, if any could be pleaded, must be imme diate' as well as compl e t e . Of this the Spanish Government app ears to ha ve been consciou s; f or , h av i ng preferred the course of giv ing reasons for their conduct, and being aware, as they could not fail to be, that the reasons e a :* in the Duke of Sotomayor's note to Sir He nry an excusel3u l fw n e e r i o f t he 17th of May, were anything butas that conduct, they sent off Count Mirasol, charg ed, have informed me, with further explanati ons; ani o s il o great appears to have been the anxiety of your Govern ment that the explanations of which he was the bearer should reach her Majesty's Government at the earliest possible moment, that Count Mirasol was actually sent off from Madrid before Sir Henry Bulwer could leave that city; the intention of the Spanish Government, no doubt, being that the explanations which he carried should be submitted to the consideration of the Bri tish Government even before Sir Henry Bulwer could have arrived in London. But Count Mirasol came in no official capacity ; he was invested with no diplomatic character which could give any official value to his assurances, or any official authenticity to his statements. It was impossible for; her Majesty's Government, in a matter of so serious a nature, to receive any communi cation from your Government through so irregular a channel , and the more especially while you, the official and accredited organ of your Government, are still re maining at this Court ; and even if Count Mirasol had come provided with credentials to her Majest4, as on a special mission from his Sovereign, it surely is not im mediately after the abrupt dismissal of the Queen's Mi nister from the Court of Madrid that her Majesty could have been advised to receive a fresh envoy from the Queen of Spain, unless, indeed, such envoy had been charged with a suitable apology, en the part of bis Sovereign. I informed you, therefore, at once, that I could hold no communication with Count Mirasol ; but I 'added that which was calculated to remove any difficulty which you might have felt if you had been called upon to state that which otherwise would have been stated verbally by Count Mirasol ; for, in requesting that the commu nication from your Government might come through you, I also requested that it might be made in writing ; a mode of communication which must equally have been adopted if her Majesty's Government had felt themselves at liberty to receive any communication from Count Mirasol. With this invitation you at first intimated your intention to comply, but that intention has now been retracted ; and the hurried journey of Count Mirasol to London, as the professed bearer of explana tions, is to produce no other result than that her Ma jesty's Government is to be required to wait till you shall have learnt the course which your Court may adopt in consequence of a decision on the part of the British Government, which was: the only one which, under the circumstances of the case, they could reasonably have been expected to take. Her Majesty's Government cannot acquiesce in a course of proceeding so disrespectful to the British Crown. If the Count Mirasol has brought any state. ment which it is fitting that the Government of Spain should submit for the consideration of her Majesty's Go vernment, in explanation or in justification of the con duct pursued towards her Majesty's Minister at Madrid, her Majesty's Government are entitled to call upon you, as the official and accredited orgau of your Gov ernmen t at this Court, to make that statement, and to send it to me in writing forthwith. I now formally and officially call upon you to do so; and it is my duty to add, that if you do not do so within two days after the date of this letter, her Majesty's Go vernment will deem themselves entitled to assume that Count Mirasol has brought no statements or explana tions which are in the slightest degree deserving of con sideration; and that the Spanish Government, in sending him hither, had no serious or becoming purpose in view; and'l have further to say, that as no statements can be admitted by her Maj esty's Goverment except those on which the Spanish Government acted at the time, no supp l emen t a ry statements which may hereafter reach you from Madrid c an be recei ved , nor can be ta ken into consideration by her Majesty's Government in ferming their final judgment on this important matter. I am, &c. (Signed) PALMEII,STON. M. ISTURITZ TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. Spanish Legation, June 7, 1848.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern “tter the latter. Tho solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

The LORD MAYOR having proposed the health of the Queen and the Royal Family, gave " The Navy and army," and joined with the toasts the names of Lord Auckland and Lord Howden. Lord AUCKLAND, in returning thanks for the nary, said they were all aware of the intimate connexion be tween the commercial power of the city of London and the naval power of the country, and he was convinced that if the services of the navy should be again called into operation they would prove as efficient as ever. Lord HOWDEN returned thanks for the army. He re garded it as a particular honour that in a very short ,pace of time he had been twice called upon, though un sxpectedly, to return thanks in that hall for the profes sion to which he belonged. Under ordinary circum ,tances the duties of her Majesty's servants in arms was to guard the honour of their country, and to preserve its came inviolate abroad, and then to watch over her inte rests, her complicated interests, in peaceful prosperity at none—that prosperity which chiefly arose from the good t'aith, the high intelligence, and dauntless energy of that ;rest commercial body which the Lord Mayor so fit tingly, and they had all reason to say, so hospitably represented. But in the present condition of Europe, when its political state was trembling in the balance ; when the tempest of revolution was abroad, before which thrones and dynasties and in ,titutions wore crumbling ; when rebellion and treason were rampant on one side, encouraged by the example 4 a cowardly treacherous defection of a armed bodies n the other ; sterner duties might devolve upon the 13ritish soldier, and those duties would be fulfilled. He could not stop to examine the casuistry of the condi tional obedience of men with arms in their hands. He ti(i not understand that miserable jargon which was the )ffspring of perverted honour and duty. The English soldier feared neither a selfish oligarchy nor a more selfish rabble. He wore freely and tearlessly the livery his Sovereign, and that coat ho would neither turn -tor tarnish.—(Loud cheers.) Far be it from him to cast the slightest reflection on brave men struggling fur just rights and indefeasible franchises ; but if they rished to gain the sympathy of the army of England they must never fur one moment forget that the best of 111 equalities is the equality of the law, and the only lasting and true fraternization—that was the word now —is a just and considerate, kind, charitable Christian consideration of the other interests, various, complicated and great, of which a commonwealth is composed. If the day of danger should arise the army would do its duty, not only in defence of the honour and interests of the country, but of what was too often insidiously at tacked under the name of liberty—the true indepen dence of the people. Tho next toast was " The Foreign Ambassadors," to which the Danish Ambassador returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR said that in proposing the next toast he had a most gratifying task to perform. Agree ably to the good; old custom of the city of London, the Chief Magistrate had the privilege of inviting under his roof, to partake of his hospitality, the Ministers of tier Majesty. In conformity with that custom he had invited her Majesty's Ministers that day, and he felt the utmost gratification in seeing around him nearly the whole of them. The members of the Administration were not invited for the purpose of entering into poli tical discussions, but for the purpose of enjoying some relaxation from their serious and important duties. Under these circumstances they had been invited that day, but extraordinarily situated as they were, it would not be improper to refer to their present position. It was a source of great satisfaction to all that the power ,existed for assembling at that board. It was a privilege not granted to many of the cities on the Continent of Europe, and it showed that Providence was abundantly kind to this nation. Ile congratulated her Majesty's Ministers upon coming to the city of London to enjoy the relaxation to which he had alluded, and he believed sincerely that if any one question more than another ab sorbed the anxious attention of the members of her Ma jesty's Government, it was comprehended in the desire to preserve the peace of Europe. It must be admitted that England was in a state of comparative agitation —lout it was quite obvious, as appeared from everything which had taken place, that the masses of the people desired no change exeept that which would bring im provement with it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL My Lord Mayor, I rise to thank you, in the name of my colleagues and in my own name, for the great honour which you have done us. Being much accustomed to the splendid reception which is given to her Majesty's Ministers in this city, I need express no surprise at the noble hospitality with which we have been received this evening. But, my Lord, you have, I think, very properly expressed that this was an occasion on which we might be expected to make some allusion to the events passing through out Europe. And I cannot forego this opportunity, even though I may be infringing on the office of my Noble Friend the Secretary for the Home Department, of expressing my sense of tho way in which he has succeeded in preserving this country from the horrors of anarchy.—(Cheers.) We have felt, supported and aided as we were by the great mass, by the overwhelm ing majority of the inhabitants of this neighbourhood, that there was little to be feared from any attempt to violate order or overthrow our institutions. And I trust and believe that this same spirit of loyalty and attachment to our institutions will preserve that internal peace and tranquillity which less fortunate nations have aeon deprived of. I think, my Lord, that we indeed owe thanks to Providence for having been able to pre serve peace, both internal and external. My Noble Friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs as you have justly observed, appreciates as highly as any man can do the blessings of peace with the continent of Europe. I trust that peace will be maintained ; and I must add, that it is not only our wish that peace between this country and foreign nations should be maintained, but that it is our earnest wish to contribute, by all the means which the influence of this country can command, by all the counsels which impartiality and friendly zeal can suggest, to preserve those blessings to other countries, and to secure their oontinuance—(Cheers.) And, my Lord, I may, perhaps, be allowed to remark that the course which we are pursuing at the present period affords a signal refutation of those calumnies which have been constantly heaped upon this country, as being the country which, founding its prosperity upon commercial and naanufac - taring pursuits, must therefore have a desire for the de preciation and almost degradation of those pursuits in other nations. Such has been the prejudiced idea which has been entertained in some foreign nations with regard to England, and which has been carefully instilled into the minds of their people. But, whatever may have been the notions generated by the spirit of commercial rivalry in past ages, I will venture to say that, at the present time, men of all political parties, of all pursuits, and of all classes in England, ardently wish for the pros perity of foreign nations.—(Hear, hear.) The last six months have given our neighbours to see, even if we had no better motive for wishing independence, riches, and prosperity to other nations—experienc e has shown us that there can be no disturb ance abroad, no injury to other nations, no fears of insurrection or the commencement of war amongst the nations of Europe, without this nation sensitively feeling, in its trade and commerce, the injury which arises from that apprehension and those disturb_ antes.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore, if we had no better motive—which I maintain we have—than a wish for our own interests, that alone should induce us to use all the means in our power for the maintenance of peace, the progress of rights, and of international friendship in Europe and in the world.—(Cheers.) I trust, there fore, seeing that we have no selfish vice's in this matter, that other nations will be ready to listen to our advice, and that we may be enabled, at this great crisis in European affairs, to contribute, as we have done in former times, to allay and remove hostilities, to preserve the independence of nations, and to aid them in g o i n g through the great difficulties of the present time without any serious or formidable infringement of peaceful re lations.—(Hear, hear.) You have said, my Lord, most truly, that the task imposed upon Ministers at present was one of more than ordinary difficulty; but we have the consolation of knowing that we are supported in it by all orders and ranks in this United Kingdom ; we therefore endeavour to perform our duty to the best of our ability, regarding any sacrifice of time, or health, or convenience, as due from us to our c ountry.—(Cheers.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—I rise at this moment to ask you to drink a toast which must accord with all your feelings, and which ought not longer to be delayed —the health of the Lord Mayor of London, and thanks to him for his hospitable entertainment.—(Cheers.) I will not dwell on the many excellencies which attach to his character; I believe they are universally known and acknowledged; and we may congratulate ourselves that at this moment we have such a chief _magi stra te to pre side over the peace of thi s metropolis, and to uphold the honour of this great cit y i n the eyes of the British public and the world.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—I feel more than words can express the honour which you have done me. If I have done anything to render the least service in my position as chief magistrate, I may attribute much of its influence to the assistance and confidence which I have derived from her Majestys Ministers; and I particularly allude to that Minister with whom I have had more frequent communication, by virtue of the office which he so honourably sustains the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Sir George Grey.— (Cheers.) In no case when I have found difficulty and needed advice, have I been for a moment denied it, when I applied to the Right Hon. Gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) He has invariably given it with the greatest kindness and courtesy. I have had access to him at all times, and I feel under the deepest obligation to Sir George Grey for the manner in which he has acted on late occasions. I may allude to another Noble Lord, who continues to render kind assistance to the city of London, whenever it is asked and needed; I mean the Earl of Auckland, who is held in the highest estimation by the citizens of London.—(Cheers). The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Marquis of Lansdowne and the House of Lords."—(Cheers.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—I assure you, on behalf, not only of those Members of the House of Lords who are present, but also those who are absent, that in a period which has been justly described as one of no common difficulty (and the year in which your Lordship has been called to fill the civic chair has been such) it will be the first ambition of that body to discharge those duties, and to perform those functions, and those functions only, which the constitu tion has assigned to them.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that that is their first wish; and I am convinced they feel that their strength consists not in the possession of any exclusive power or privilege, but that it rests upon the consideration well known to those who have studied the constitution of this countay, that those functions and powers are linked with the functions and powers of all other classes, and are made to combine and to co-operate with them in one harmonious whole. In that feeling I am sure they all unite; and I am convinced that they will discharge their part in the maintenance and preser vation of the institutions of this country, and its liber ties as founded upon those institutions.—(Hear.) The LORD MAYOR—I have now the honour of pro posing " The health of Lord Palmerston and the Members of the House of Commons." The country at large must be under great obligations to the Members of that House, for their unwearied labours in promoting the best interests of the nation. In connecting with the toast the name of Lord Palmerston, I would observe that I have no doubt his Lordship is animated by a sincere desire to support the honour of this country ; and I trust that, amidst the difficulties and confusion now creating distur bance in neighbouring countries, he may be enabled to steer clear of those evils, so as to preserve the peace and tranquillity which we now enjoy.—(Cheers.) Viscount PALMERSTON—I return you my most cor dial thanks for the double honour you have just bestowed on me—that of drinking my health in this great and dis tinguished assembly, and that of connecting my name with one of the most noble public bodies that exists in the civilized world. —(Cheers.) I would thank you in the name of the House of Commons fur the honour you have done them in drinking their health on this occasion, did I not feel there is that brotherhood existing between that great assembly of freemen and the great cor porate body of the City which must convince you that the Members of the House of Commons cannot but be grateful for the compliment paid them by a body representing the commerce of the kingdom. Commerce and freedom go hand in hind, and are mutually dependent on each other; it is natural, there fore, that this great commercial city whose interests depend upon the freedom of which the House of Com mons is peculiarly the guardian, should not forget in the social and convivial moment to do duo honour to the Commons House of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) If there is any period at which, more than another, Englishmen ought to be sensible of the great blessings which the House of Commons, as part of the Parliament of this country, confers upon them, the present time is perhaps not the least remarkable of any. We see around us the nations of Europe that have long been deprived of those blessings of freedom which we pos sess, and which we hardly value sufficiently, because they have been handed down to us as an inheritance from our remote ancestors—we see the nations which have not enjoyed those blessings now struggling through the greatest difficulties, and affronting the most appalling dangers, in order to obtain possession of the freedom we enjoy, and to fulfil an ambition which perhaps might be described as almost the ordinary ambition of men.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") And therefore I say this is a moment at which every Englishman must peculiarly value those inestimable in stitutions which have secured us the benefits of internal peace when the nations around us are so plunged in con fusion and disturbance. Your Lordship has been pleased to advert kindly, and with a d ue est i mate of the feelings by which I am animated, to t h e part i cu lar office which I have the honour to fill. I can assure you, my Lord, that it hes been, and will b e , my cons t an t study, in dis charging the duties which belong to that office, not merely to endeavour to the utmost of my abilities to maintain and preserve for this country the blessings of peace, but, has my Noble Friend Lord John Russell has said, it shall be my endeavour to preserve that blessing to other countries, and in every part of the world to which our influence may be permitted to extend, in every case in which our advice may either be accepted or solicited, to endeavour to preserve to those countries that blessing, or to restor e i t , if , b y an u nfortunate com bination of circumstances, th ey h ave b een for a moment plunged into the horrors o f war. I t i s a satisfactory illustration of that which y our L or d s hip so well pointed out—the connexion betw een peace an d the progress of civilization—thati those attempts which are now conuvls ing Europe from one end to the other, although, in former periods, when the triumph s o f c i v ilization were less than now, they would p ro b a bly have produced a universal war, have, hitherto at least, only partially dis turbed tranquillity in different portions of Europe.— , h n e c a e r. m ) ay l o m nl o y st bfeertveemntplyo•rharoyp? andthatthat we may that partial (Hoar, s d o is o t n urba see tranquillity restored, and that the progressive change which is taking place among the different nations of Europe may pass to its consummation without any disturbance of the general peace of the world.—(Cheers.) t His Lordship conclud e d by proposing " The health of the Lady Mayoress."—(Che er s.) w The Lowe MAYOR returned thanks , and concluded by proposing "The Church:and the Bishop of Norwich." The Bishop of Nonwicn in A acknowledgments l o long a s ex pressedhe his hope that the clergy w ould alway s ma i nta i n that high position which they had hitherto h e ld i n t h e estimation of the people of England. Church did its duty zea lously and devotedly it would always enjoy the respect w hich . was its due, and whi c h would be secured by the learning, talents , and devotion b of its members.—(Hear, hear.) ~ The LORD MAYOR next proposed The health of Sir G. Grey."—(Cheers.) Sir G.

The writer of the letter says the total sum paid into the suitors'-fund is 345,1221., upon the recovery of which the fees amount to 255,4361. This is not a lair way of putting the question. The amount of fees is not paid upon the amount paid into court, but upon the amount sued for, being above 1,200,000/., or nearly four times the amount paid into court. This is proved by computing the amount from the general fund. _ You will observe by the Parliamentary return that no less than 161,000 plaints never came to trial at all, the plaintiffs and defendants having, doubtless, in most of the cases, come to an arrangement without incurring the cost of hearing and judgment. In many other cases where judgments have been ob tained, the parties afterwards effect an arrangement, so that, in fact, the suitors fund does not represent at all, or in any considerable proportion, the amount of money actually recovered by the plaintiff With respect to such points as the Act may re quire amendment in, I think the subjoined form of petition might be judiciously adopted.

COUNTY COURTS ACT.—At a recent meeting of the Chester Town Council the following petition was unanimously adopted : " To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, " THE PETITION, " Showeth,—That the Act of the 9th and 10th Vic toria, c. 95, entitled, An Act for the more easy re covery of Small Debs and Demands in England,' has been of great benefit to the trading and honest part of the community, notwithstanding its limited jurisdiction. " That your petitioners fully approve of its leading provisions, particularly as embracing local jurisdiction, the easy proofs of debts and demands, and summary re medies against the property and persons of fraudulent debtors. " That your petitioners pray that your Honourable House will not suffer the efficiency of this measure to be in the slightest degree impaired ; but, on the contrary, that you will be pleased to pass a measure extending the jurisdiction as to the amounts which may be recovered ; further simplifying the proceedings ; reducing and rendering more uniform the costs and fees ; and intro ducing such modifications and improvements as the pre sent experience of the working of the measure may show to be desirable, in order to insure the objects of the en actment. " And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray,' &c. &c. ELECTION PRACTICES. _ - - - - On the system adopted by the Lower House during the present session with regard to void elections, there is not a borough or county in the United Kingdom which might not be left unrepresented for an indefinite time. That system just amounts to this:—Let A and B offer themselves as candidates for a particular borough on opposite interests. Towards the close of the poll, B finds his rival has a clear majority in his favour. To fetch up the difference is beyond hope, it is impossible B should become the sitting member. He is not quite beaten for all that. lie cannot get in himself, but he can turn his rival out before he is well warm in his seat. He can do more than this. B, the candidate of the 50 votes, can not only unseat A, the candidate of the 500 votes, but he can mulct the 500 constituents who have been unable to dis cern his Parliamentary capacity to the full extent of their suffrages. It is not even necessary that B should tuke any step himself. He may be a man of spotless honour and integrity, such an one as would shrink from the dirty act of dragging down a rival by unfair means. But amongst his electioneering agents may be found a person not quite so scrupulous. There would appear, sh i o m u ln ec unhappily,election matters,t be which a does kindof not,conventional as it stamp the parties concerned with infamy. All that B's m ld o o ra f lity in eright, agents then have to do is by the hands of their sub agents—there is always a lower depth —to a d m i n i s t er a bribe to each of half at-dozen electors professedly in A's name, and to dispatch them to the poll to register their votes in his favour. If adequate care be taken that the proofs are sufficiently stringent, B in due course of time presents his petition before a Parliamentary Committee; and A, the sitting Member, is unseated. The indigna tion of the Parliamentary Purists does not stop here. They not only exile from their untainted fellowship the Member who has been found guilty upon such evidence. but declare, as a cumulative penalty, that the borough where such proceedings aro practised or countenanced is unfit to return Members to Parliament. For the sake of the ten unjust men the city is condemned. And what does the public all the while? Pretty much what the public generally dues when it takes no particular trouble to sift a question to the bottom— Odit dumnatos. The words " venality," " iniquity," and " rascality" fly freely from mouth to mouth, and the United Kingdom runs a very good chance of being disfran c hi se d i n d etail. What between the adoption of thi s pract i ce of the Committees, the officiousness of pri va t e M em b ers, and the inexplicable delays of Govern men t i n forward ing their own Bills, we h ave arr i ve d at this prac tiiacuatl towns n result—that the so k m in e gd o o f m the ar m e most opulent lentand iP unrepresentedr in Parliament. We have no desire to press the point to its consequence; but is it not a remarkable fact that the concurrence of Queen, Lords, and Commons, of the three branches of the constitution, is requisite to add one single Member to the Lower House, or to bestow the franchise on a hitherto unrepresented borough, and yet the Lower House by its single agency can dock and clip the constituency of the kingdom of its right propor tions, and, by its simple act or its mere acquiescence, deprive Englishmen of privileges won after eight cen turies of struggle? It may be said the House can only proceed to actual disfranchisement by way of Bill; but as far as practical exercise of the franchise is concerned, in what respect do such important towns as Derby or Leicester at this present moment stand in a better position than though the sentence of perpetual exclusion had been actually pronounced against them? The tri bunal is not ready before which they are to be arraigned. We can only say that in spirit and in practice, if this be accepted as a good answer, Parliamentary law must be very different from any other law. If a poor wretch but filch a pocket-handkerchief, he is not committed to gaol while a statute is framed which shall apply, and a tri bunal is constructed which shall adjudicate in the cora pletest manner possible upon the exact nature of his crime. You take the offence as you find it, and dispose of it by the existinc , law and before existing courts. If the law be not sufficiently valid, or the court be judged defective in its administration, these matters aro looked to, and offences subsequent to the new law are tried under its provisions. Felons are entitled to an early gaol delivery, but there is no delivery, it would seem. for thousands of upright and intelligent freemen, if a few voters of scabby morality have crept unawares into their ranks.— Times.

SPANISH CORRESPONDENCE. The following are the most important portions of the additional Spanish correspondence. The first part con tains a private letter of M. Isturiz, and a personal con troversy, of no public interest, with Lord Palmerston:— M. ISTURIZ TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. London, June 3, 1848. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Catholic Majesty, has the honour to transmit herewith to Viscount Palmerston, her Bri tannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, copies of two dispatches from the Duke of So tomayor, First Secretary of State of her Catholic Ma jesty, dated Madrid, the 15th of April and 12th of May, both of them relative to the steps taken by the under signed to obtain the withdrawal of Sir Henry Bulwer from his mission at that Court. Two motives have induced the undersigned to make the present communication—first, the determination expressed by her Britannic Majesty's Minister for Fo reign Affairs in the house of Commons, that everything should be stated in writing; and secondly, the declara tion made in the House of Lords by the Marquis of Lansdowne, that the correspondence hitherto produced his notes of the 28th and by the undersigned was not considered entirely satisfac tory, o a f ll m ucl a i clearly that the undersigned has written little and tar dily,her Britannic Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs will acknowledge, at the same time, that the reading of qc offi cial e p te o d si tt that position g h a e v m e i h g i h m t , yngLdnolstdoouf doubt, to concerning the affair to which they refer. But them will have added little or nothing to the full infor mation which he has received from the undersigned in the various conferences which have taken place on these matters. In the stage at which this affair has arrived, the un dersigned does not hesitate to reduce it to clear and in telligible dimensions. The Government of the Queen convertedm ati c functions. in to ,:) his mistress were convinced that her Britannic Majesty's was previously a declar c possess itself of power, and in consequence, they re minister at Madrid employed the means which his offi wtoh . should confine himself to the fulfilment of hisdiplo amereason that he has well as by custom, havingright as demand, authorized by difference between the Spanish Government and the Britishandthatwhich representative, having been adding a i n n y t observa tionshv'. iperson,sdheldvery of passports. The undersigned abstains from ab stained from writing, until he found by circumstances to do so accumu lating grounds of irritation, he has's instead of conciliation, and because his desire is o t u o gh t for those of mind of Viscount Palmerston, that the impress on the her Catholic Majesty only aims at maintainingvrnment of unim paired the relations of peace and friendship, advantac , eous to two independent countries e s t' m h foo s t A in i . g „ Spain and the noble and enlightened English such as nation. The undersigned, &c. (Signed) XAVIER DE ISTURIZ. THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR TO M. ISTURIZ. Madrid, April 15, 1848. Most Excellent Sir,—Her Majesty's Government has unfortunately for some time had well-founded grounds of complaint against the conduct pursued at this Court by the British Minister, Mr. Bulwer, who, forgetting the character and friendly attributes of his mission, for reasons which it is difficult to characterise, has not ceased, to the surprise of everybody, to direct all his ef forts and the influence of his official position against the Government to which he is accredited, in aid of a poli tical party which harbours a turbulent and violent frac tion which aims at overthrowing the existing Cabinet that governs the country by means of the entire confi p e n Thisvv a rinet favourh risepcloaotefedsa t b p e y a n r deuce bestowed upon it by the Crown, and with the support and ample sanction of the Cortes of these king doms. Although such a proceeding on the part of the diplomatic agent of a friendly and allied nation would at all times be deplorable and im proper, in the present critical circumstances in which Spain is placed, in consequence of the dis turbances in Europe, it had become even dangerous and alarming for the security of the state and the preserva tion of pblic order, which the Government at all cost is determined to maintain. For this reason it can no longer overlook an affair of so much importance ; and, however painful, it finds itself forced to adopt the mea sure which its duty imposes upon it, and tho only one calculated to obviate the consequences of such a conflict. Since the events of the 26th of last month the con duct of Mr. Bulwer has attained a degree of greater significance and importance. The Government is as sured that at this moment his house serves as a refuge to men of different classes in life implicated in that at tempt, some of whom were seen at the barricades with arms in their hand., and were consequently ordered to be arrested by the proper authorities ; that from that asylum they continue their machinations in concert with those without, in order to disturb anew the public order and tranquillity of this capital. I aced not state to your Excellency, that when I refer to this fact, contrary to the law of nations, violating diplomatic privileges, and offensive to the Government of her Majesty, I have the most complete persuasion of its truth. This state of things is no longer compatible with the dignity of Government, nor consistent with the friendly relations which should exist between the Iwo countries. The Government, which is resolved to maintain public order at every risk, cannot do less than complain of the moral support which Mr. Bulwer openly lends to its ma nifest and decided enemies, who aro also the enemies of the throne and of your institutions. For these reasons her Majesty commands me to instruct your Excellency to make this known to Lord Palmerston, in order that, with the expedition which the case requires, he may be pleased to make arrangements in order that Mr. Bulwer may be removed from this post, and replaced by a person who may study with better success to represent the honourable and generous sentiments of England at the seat of a Government which entertains towards her all the sympathy and regard which in so many respects she merits. By royal command I state this to your excellency for your information, and for execution. God preserve, &c. (Signed) THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR. TIIE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR TO Ti. ISTCRIZ. rid, 48. Most Exc e ll en t Sir,—l have Mad communicay 18 ated to her Majesty the contents of your Excellency's dispatch marked No. 255, in which you make known to me the reasons that induced you to withdraw confidentially the written demand addressed by your Excellency to Lord Palmerston for the removal from this Court of Mr. Bulwer, the British representative. Her Majesty ap proves the zeal which has guided your Excellency in this matter, in consequence of the extra-official knowledge which you possessed of the turn which this affair was taking as the result of the interviews which the British Minister had with me; but unfortunately the subsequent course of political events renders that step more urgent and indispensable. That recent occurrences of the 7th instant have pro duced in the public mind an irritation ;difficult to ex press, and of which the periodical press is in truth but a feeble reflex. The political conduct observed by Mr. Bulwer in these last times, the decided and open protection which he has afforded to many of the individuals most conspicuous o t h f e t n h c e e B w r i i t t h i h t the e t, j n e e ct na e Mr.s of Sampsonin the conspira c y o f the 26th, sheltering them in his House, and a ll ow i ng them to communicate from guage of some of hi s personal friends, and particularly of the Union Bank, w h o is alleged to have instigated in theGove ( r s n a m ns e o n in t, ), the direlcatnor some degree the l ate events, have had the effect of irri to such K d egree, that the Government can t g the passio ns, and of exciting public opinion against him, Youryour so t E n x y : ow e I ao l e yo n uc c oo y tnri s t h ie ns o u, u ie l t d t: r . w ceedings with the British Government, in order that Mr. Bulwer may b e removed from hence. The Spanish Go vernment cannot in o e treat fa y . oituhr very de sirable mo and in ord er t h at this determination may not affect the e relations b etween that Lord Palmerston should take forthwith that step which propriety and the true interests of the two countries recommend.Mr • Bulwer addressed a note to me dated the Bth, of which h ave the h onour t o enc l ose y our Ex ce ll enc y a co I py, as also of my reply, written with the concurrence of all the members of the Cabinet. By this correspondence your Excellency will see confirmed all that I have stated, and that our position with respect to the present British minister admits of no other possible solution than his immediate absence from these kingdoms. In proceedin g to obtain this object, your Excellency will assure the British Minister for Foreign Affairs, that the feelings of friendship and harmony which the Spanish Government entertains towards England are unalter able, and that as they are based upon mutual interest and respect, the Spanish Government considers them too durable to be in the least impaired by this unpleasant occurrence. By royal command I communicate this to you for your information and for execution. God preserve, &c. (Signed) THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR. TIIE DUKE OF SoToMAYOR TO N. ISTURITZ. ad, a 17 148. Most E xce ll ent Sir—Your Excellency M will y beinformed by my communications of the 15th of April and 13th instant, of the embarrassing position in which the repre sentative of England at this Court has placed her Majesty' s Government. However much her Majesty's Government may have desired that the differences pro yoked by the irregular conduct of Mr. Bulwer should be terminated in a friendly manner and by common agreement between the two Governments, by the retire • mont of that function ar3 • its efforts unfortunately have , up to thi s ti me, been unavailing ; and in the meanwhile the scene s o f di sorder are renewed, and in all of them her Majesty's Government meets with more than suf ficient grounds for suspecting Mr. Bulwer's influence.
