Jinxing LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1848. For the last fourteen weeks—ever since the Revo lution of February, in short—it has been a subject of astonishment that the Spanish and Portuguese Penin sula, bas preserved even a questionable tranquillity and the semblance of contentment. While almost every other portion of the continent presented a spectacle of unparalleled turbulence, Spain and Por tugal continued in a state of comparative quietude. The excitement created by the propa g andi s m of the Parisian dem ocrats, an excitement which penetrated into som e o f the most remote corners of Europe, into Finland a n d into PaCeotia, was u n f e lt i n e ith er o f th e Peninsular capitals, an d felt no correspondent thrill in the frontier villages situated on the southern accli vity of the Pyrenees ; while the political waves were rolling as high as the mountains in Germany, and among the Italians, there was scarcely a ripple on the political current in Spain or Portugal. Thrones were toppled down elsewhere, c ons ti tutions crumbled away into nothingness, and empires formed out of hetero geneous states, as in the case of Austria, fell into ruins like a palace of cards built by the h ands of children. Strange as this tranquillity would have appeared at such a moment of universal agitation in any other of the continental principalities, it was peculiarly and wonderfully strange in regard t o the Iberian and L us it an i an p en insula. For of all the kingdoms of Europe, Spain and Portugal had hithert o been th e most li a bl e to t h e h orrors of insurrection. _Erneutes had long ago become the pastime of the Spaniard and the business of the Portuguese ; their attractions had surpassed these of the bull-fight of the present age, and those of the auto•da-fe of the age THE SUN, LONDON, of the Inquisition. What, it will be asked, was the proximate cause of this unnatural, and, we may even call it, unnational quiessence ? We will answer that question briefly, distinctly, and positively. The cause of the apathy evinced by the inhabitants of the Peninsula, in the midst of the turmoil excited by the spread of revolutionary doctrines, was not any abate ment of sympathy with the lovers of freedom, either on the side of the people of Spain or of Portugal (for the very heart's core of the Portuguese and the Spaniards was devoured by a suppressed yearning for their respective nationalities), it was not from any di minution of that manhood which had hitherto been the physical and political characteristic of both Spaniard and Portuguese, it was not this, neither was it the result of any sudden devotion for the self interested and despotic factions of NARVAEZ in one metropolis, or of the Cabrals in the other; the tran quillity of both countries originated in circumstances of a more remarkable andof a more pathetic character, it arose from a despair of struggling against the odds presented to them by their oppressors, from a convic tion that the time for their emancipation had not yet arrived, and from the depressive influence of the tyrranous and irresponsible authority concentrat ed in their own hands by the dominant states men. Such have been the immediate causes of this bewildering and almo s t uninterrupted tranquillity3 in the Peninsul a s i nc e the gigantic outburst of the revolution on the 24th of February. At a moment when the political relations between the Courts of VICTORIA. and IsABELLA appear to be of such a singularly dubious character , when Sir HENRY BULWER is dismissed from Madrid by order of SOT O M AYO R, and when Se nor Iszuain is dis missed from London by ord er of PALM ERSTON, it becomes a matter of supr eme im p ortance to consider the exact position o f affairs, of men, of parti es , and of opinion in Spain, so as to understand at once the exact course which it has become the imperative duty of England to follow in regard to that country. In endeavouring to arrive at this knowledge, in striving to appreciate the real merits of the Spanish Question in its entirety, it is absolutely essential, of course, to accumulate our facts from the most authentic sources, and to listen without im. patience, and most assuredly without the smallest vestige of prejudice to the arguments of the most disinterested am ong t h e political writers of the Peninsula. Such an authority we take Don VICE NT DE PEREDA t o be regarding him, as we our selves E selves do, and as every Englishman and as every Spaniard must d o i n l i ke manner, as -a man of indi sputable impartiality, of unimpeach ableintegrity, and as one of the most distinguished members . of th e great party of the Progresistas. Don ICNTE DE PEREDA has afforded us precisely the medium we required for this particular investigation, we allude to his bold and candid pamphlet entitled "La .Naciony los Partidos, ó sea necesidad de former el Purtido Nacional." Through this remarkable pam phlet we may literally place our hand upon the pulse of Spain. Already, namely as far back as the first of February, before the overthrow of the monarchical sys tem of Louis PHILIPPE, we took occasion to direct the attention of our readers to the manifesto of this illus. trious Progresista.* Having on the preceding day, on the 31st of January, alluded incidentally to the publication, we then, on the Ist of February, defined in a few sentences the precise tendency of the argu ments propounded by its author. We then explained that those arguments were to the effect that nothing permanently advantageous to his native land could be accomplished unless the heart burnings of the past were forgotten, unless the honest men of all parties were to gather about a new standard, unless the hand that raised that standard were the hand of a Spanish Prince—a Prince uncompromised by his political adventures, a Prince of courage, of genius, and of patriotism, one who could secure to himself the loyalty and admiration of his fellow-countrymen by the consistency of his career, and by the guarantee of a glorious and liberal constitution: A. Prince of this character is imperatively demanded by Spain according to the arguments of the impartial and pa triotic Progresista. Don VICENTE DE PKBEDA and beyond this he maintains, in the pamphlet already re ferred to, that the policy hitherto pursued by the English Government is directly opposed 'to the inte rests of Great Britain, as well as to 'those of the Spanish peninsula. Hereafter we shal enter a greater length into this extraordinary :manifesto o Don VICENTE DE PEREDA. Poor Tom STEELE has followed his rev ered leader to the grave, having survived him little more than thirteen months. He died last night, at PeE •le's Coffee house, Fleet-street, where every atten t ion that the most affectionate regard and friendly sons itude could dictate was paid to him during the linge ring illness that followed the rash attempt which it was our painful duty to record in The Sun of the 20th April last. We then called upon the public to , contribute to a testimonial which would rescue the I igh-minded patriot from every pecuniary annoyance, :and free him for the remainder of his days from thot ie cares and difficulties which we have too much reasc ea to believe preyed upon his mind, and, couplet I. with the decease of the illustrious man wb( ise devoted follower he had ever been, and the wretched condi tion of his beloved country, rendered If im weary of a prolonged existence and anxious for a SI peedy release from his troubles. That appeal was F romptly and liberally responded to, and considerab] e sums were forwarded from various quarters for the benefit of the consistent politician whose integrity of purpose, fidelity, and devotion to the cause he e spoused, and the leader to whose fortunes he more es p, cially bound himself, were beyond all question. Th e subscription was not limited to those who participate !C: in his poli tical views and feelings —men who had b een strongly opposed to him in the strife of p a rty warfare, who di 'eyed foto calf) from his , opinions on the repeal question, but who ac mired and esteemed his private character and co] iduct, were amongst the most bounteous donors. 13 'he kind in tentions were, however, defeated by the person whom they desired to serve, who firmly and , decidedly re fused to accept of any pecuniary gift 01 aid in any form or under any guise. His over-sere sitive nature shrunk from the idea of becoming a bur len upon his friends, or of sanctioning any act by whi ch the purity and disinterestedness of his motives cc uld be ques tioned. He was resolved that they des ald be above suspicion —that he would go down ti his grave without leaving it in the power of any ix lan to slander his memory. His reply to those friend s who, aware of his difficulties—we might almotsl , say desti tution --urged him to accept the con tributions so freely offered, as the payment of a debt due to his past services, was, " I would sooner g rind a barrel organ through every city and town in Europe, than accept a shilling from any man 7101 V livit lg." Finding his resolution inflexible, and that it • could not be to accede an y arguaccede t o hi s w ishes, and to naen t, they were o p m e l e l e n d t a co m m reluctantly e h l a u k e e t n a n f t o i r y return the amounts forwarded to the various quar ters from whence they had been receiv ac 1. Although he thus refused any pecun 13 ry assistance, we rejoice to say that every cornf or t 'tie could have desired was provided for him—that no care was wanting to soothe his last hours, a n d to aff or d him the best medical aid, and, in fact, y e rer thing which the wealthiest could possibly have obi fined. No wish that he expressed was left ungra • , and had h e been a brother he could not have b s , a more affec tionately and carefully watched over than by Mr. and se-house, AUSTIN, the proprietor of Peele's CON , _ other friends. Their care s ha ve - now, alas • terminated—the scientific engineer —the accom plished scholar—the high-minded :ntleman—the enthusiastic and incorr u ptibl e pa t r i c I t h as breathed his last. Some tribute of respect ma y, however, be paid to his memory, and as his hon curable scruples can unfortunately no longer prey ail, his funeral should be worthy of such a man, an d at the public expense. Mr. AUSTIN, too, should n of be suffered to be a pecuniary loser in any respect b 7 his generous attention to him whom so many s rot :Id have been delighted to serve. It is due to t ::at gentleman to state that he is wholly ignorant of this. I ippeal. The Bill to facilitate the sale of encr kbered estates in Ireland is to be submitted, we bell ;e, this week to the consideration of a Committee ) f the House of Commons, having already obtained, in more than *" La iVacion y los Paitidos, (1 sea n( cesidad de formal• el Partido Nacional. Dccidado a todos los espaynoles (pie tengan fe,en la regeneration de su;patri, 1," Pp. 96. Par Don Vicente M. de Pereda. W. IL Dalton. 1848. Londres. one form, the sanction of the House of Lords. The policy of the measure has been earnestly advocated by some of the most reflective commentators upon the social exigencies of Ireland. Few countries of Europe present so vast and unwieldy a concentration of landed property as the sister-country. The prin ciples of primogeniture and entail, combined with a multitude of causes homogeneous to the character of Irish aristocracy, have so fettered that dominion which is elsewhere exercised over land, and has so of fectually obstructed its transfer, as to:place it all but beyond the pale of exchangeable property. In the existing state of the law there is no freedom for the transfer of land, where the interests of its owners and the welfare of thousands indirectly concerned in its more divided appropriation and uses are equally in volved. Hence it is that the Bill in question has the rare good fortune for an Irish measure to be favoured in it 3 scope and policy by all classes of Irishmen. With all the care, nevertheless, with which the measure has been framed by the Lord Chancellor, by whom it was introduced into and conducted through the Upper House, and the supervision it has undergone on the part of the law officers since its introduction i n t o t h e House of Commons, we behold in its ma c hi nery anything but appropriate and effective means for the attainment of the proposed ob• ject. It is well to replace the dilatory and ruinously costly course of a bill in equity with its vexatious train of interlocutory procedures, by a remedy brief, summary, and comparatively inexpensive; but the value of promptitude and dispatch, of a direct and economical path to the desired goal, does not lie in brevity of procedure alone. The hardships of delay and the ruin of costs would be averted to no good pur pose, if interests which it is the paramount duty of a court of equity to maintain were overlooked, and rights which it should sedulously guard were in dan ger of being sacrificed. The Bill has been altered since it left the House of Lords in a respect which suggests these apprehen sions. The power given to the Master by the Bill in its original form to appoint a solicitor, whose duty it would be to collect all necessary information for the guidance of the Court, to watch with a vigilant eya each step in the proceeding by which the rights of in `ants, lunatics, and others, not in a position to take care of those rights, and to restrain all attempts at collusive sales between proprietors having but tempo rary interests and their debtors ; that salutary power has been unaccountably withdrawn, and the conse uence must be that many of the sales will take place upon partial information only, or possibly upon 4 representation of the circumstances of the case alto• ;ether deceptive and fraudulent. This is a fearful consideration, bearing in mind the conclusive nature of the sales to be effected under the Act, and the im portant fact that the vendee is to get a dear Parlia inentary title against every claimant whatever. The Bill also seems very defective in not requiring an abstract of title as a foundation of the proceedings on summary petition before the Master, ratified by the solicitor's affidavit. Where the proceeding is at :he instance of the proprietor wishing to be relieved, there could be no inconvenience in his being required to furnish such an abstract, and where the petition is presented by the encumbrancer, the materials for such an abstract could be procured by interrogatories in the nature of a bill of discovery. We utterly distrust the competency of the House of Commons to make the measure satisfactory. '1 he subject is essentially professional, and involves tech nicalities beyond the comprehension and .kill of 'tatesmen and politicians. The prudent course would be to refer the matter to the judicial and legal autho rities of the country, which the Bill deeply and im mediately concerns. SPAIN. Aladrid journals of the 10th have arrived. The decision which the Government had come to to dissolve the contract with the Bank of St. Ferdi nand has been revoked. The Ileraldo publishes the following from Ceuta : " Ceuta, June 3. " A conspiracy, of vast ramifications, and which had its roots, without doubt, in a foreign soil, was upon the point of exploding last night ; but the vigilance and energy of the military authority have known how to de feat the plans of the disturbers of order, and to avoid a day of mourning and desolation to this city. "It appears that it was sought to excite an insurrec tion of this numerous I'residio, complicated with a mili tary sedition of the troops, with the project of an inva sion of the coast of Spain, by means of a surprise of the vessels on this station, in order to light up a civil war there, after giving up the fortress to the first who should present himself, whether Moors or Christians. " General Ros de Olano has fortunately known how to get hold in time of the threads of this dark plot, and at this moment eleven prisoners are answering the questions of a permanent court-martial. The inquiry is going on with activity, and the guilty parties will very shortly re ceive condign chastisement. " The spirit of the garrison continues in the best sense, from the time that his Excellency, presenting himself in front of the battalions, reminded them of their duties in an energetic address. "At this moment the worthy inhabitants of the town Are receiving the arms which they have solicited with enthusiasm, in order to organize themselves, and to co operate towards the maintenance of order and public tranquillity." The arrests in Madrid continue undiminished. Among the last persons arrested are M. LOPES GRADO, the deputy for Oviedo, and M. MUCIIADO, the deputy for Cadiz. A body of three hundred political prisoners left Madrid on the 10th, under a military escort. This reign of terror is exciting the disgust of even the warmest friends and most strenuous supporters of NARVAEZ, and the Espana, the court paper, while praising him for his firmness, reminds him of the saying of ISTURITZ, "fusilar no es gobernar—to shoot is not to govern."

Coutrary to general expectation no explanations on the part of the Executive took place in the sitting of the National Assembly on Wednesday, and M. PAS CAL DUPRAT postponed the question of which he had given notice on the subject to the succeeding day. The Ministers and Executive Committee held another Cabinet Council yesterday, for the purpose of consi dering the line of conduct which, under existing circumstances, it might be deemed advisable they should adopt. It appears that M. DE LAMARTINE was the member of the Executive who ordered the rappel to be beaten on Monday. General CLEMENT Inomas yesterday produced to the Assembly the written order of M. DE LAMARTINE directing the General of the Na tional Guards to order the rappel to be beaten. M. ARMAND MARRAST will, early in next week, present the report of the Committee on the Constitu tion. The Committee recommend that the ma gistracy shall be irremovable, in order to secure the independence of the judges. The justices of the peace and the councillors of the courts of cessation and of accounts are to be elective, the former by uni versal suffrage, and the latter by the National As sembly. The Constitution is to be revised by a Special Assembly, elected by universal suffrage throughout all France every four years. The Mem bers of that Assembly shall meet together under the title of delegates, and shall occupy themselves in bringing to perfection, if any change be required, that great work, which may have come out incom plete from the hands of its authors. Several persons supposed to be implicated in a Bonapartist conspiracy have been arrested, and it is said that the police are making strict search to dis cover Madame GORDON, an Englishwoman who was implicated in the Strasburg conspiracy of Prince Lours NAPOLEON. The Legitimists voted for the admission of Prince Louts NAPOLEON. Messrs. Thiers, Odillon Barrot, Duvergier de Ilauranne, Berryer, most of the former Deputies, and the members of the Montagne, equally voted in that sense. The ylkbar, of Algiers, states that a number of labourers in that town had been engaged to work at the fortifications of Mahon. It is added that the Go vernment of the United States has supplied the funds for the completion of the extensive works undertaken in that island. FRIDAY EVENING, ' The Sub-Committee of Public Works has proposed an amendment on the railway project as follows : Art. I. Declares that the repurchase is of public uti lity. Art. 11. Authorises the Minister of Finance to carry it into effect. Art. 111. The repurchase will be on the following conditions, viz.:-Ist Class.—The rail ways of Paris to St. Germain, to Versailles (rive droite), Versailles (rive gauche), Strasbourg to Bale, Paris to Orleans and Corbeil, Rouen, Rouen and llavre, Paris to frontier of Belgium with branches to St. Quentin, Calais, and Dunkirk, Orleans to Bordeaux, Orleans and the Centre. The shareholders of these lines shall be paid after an average of the prices of the shares lor twelve months before the revolution of February, in stock, at the average price of the same twelve months.-2d Class. —The railways of Monteroau to Troyes, Avignon to Marseilles, Amiens to Boulogne, Paris to Strasbourg, Paris to Lyons, Tours to Nantes, The shareholders of these lines shall be paid on 'the same basis, except that the average of the 18 months preceding the revolution of February shall be taken. The shareholders who shall not accept these terms shall be compelled to refer their claims to arbitration, the amount awarded being always payable in stool>, The State to have immediate pos session. In other respects the project is adopted. The 5-sous banquet is postponed to the 14th July, the anniversary of the taking of the Bastille. It is stated in one of the journals that several of the Paris friends of Louts NAPOLEON, whose counsel is likely to have an influence on his mind, have re solved at a meeting, which was convened for the purpose, to advise him not to take his seat in the National Assembly in the present excitement, but to wait until the Constitution shall have been decreed. The Executive Government, in order to satisfy certain demands of trade and to develop labour in Algeria, has made modifications in the import duties on nankeen, loeking-glass, iron from the metallurgic establishments of Algeria, and iodine. And, in order to encourage the exportation of national products, and thereby increase labour at home, the Executive has further drcreed that, from the 15th instant to the 31st December next, the premiums or drawbacks established by existing laws shall be in creased 50 per cent., and that certain tissues and thread shall on being exported receive a premium of 41 per cent. The Committee formed to examine the Bill to re establish the practice of divorce has pronounced by thirteen votes to four against the measure. The whole Committee were unanimous in declaring against the presentation of the Bill at present, on the ground that the moment is inopportune. It is supposed that the Government will withdraw the Bill. M. THIERS has been elected also at Mayenne. The following was the state of the poll at the close : THIERS DE LA BROISE .. • • 16,979 BEAUCHENE 5,864 CHARTIER ..... 3,120 BOLTER DESMORTIERS Placards were yesterday posted all over Paris, re commending the election of M. CAUSSIDIERE as Pre. sident of the Republic. It will be seen from the report of the proceedings in the National Assembly, that M. PASCAL DUPEAT has given up the intention of putting the question of which he had given notice to the Government, and the Executive Committee not venturing to ask a vote o confidence from the Assembly, is content to remain a Government on sufferance. LAMARTINE and LEDRU Ror.LIN advocated the immediate resignation of the Committee and the Ministers, but they were over ruled by GARNIER PAGES, ARAGO, and MARIE. It is probable that they will be beat on some of their financial measures, and will make the defeat the ex cuse for resigning. It was report( d that Lours NAPOLEON had arrived in Paris, but he had not presented himself to the As sembly up to the hour the post left. The Assembly met at half-past seven. The order of the day was the interpellations to be addressed to the Executive Committee. M. Pascal l)uprat ascended the tribune amidst marks of some surprise, as none of the members of the Execu tive Committee were present, and only ono Minister— be for Foreign Affairs. " Gentlemen," said M. Pascal Duprat, " the grave and important circumstances which induced me yesterday to demand permission to ask for some explanations from Government have become ex ceedingly modified—(Ah, ah!)—they in fact no longer exist.—(Ah, ah I) la consequence, I have now to declare that I renounce my intention of bringing for ward my interpellations."—(Loud laughter greeted this declaration.) M. Chabaud presented a proposition, declaring that the export duties fixed by the Bill of June 2, 1839, shall be abrogated.—To be developed hereafter. The next order of the day was the discussion on the Bill having for its object to declare the union of Algeria to France. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 15.

On the 11th the second Chamber terminated the third and last deliberation on the changes the consti tution is to undergo. When the Secretary-General read a communication stating that the higher Chamber had repulsed all the resolutions taken and adopted by the Chamber of Deputies respecting the future repre sentation of the country, the reading produced peculiar sensation. They will now proceed to con ferences. Notwithstanding the opposition of STUVE the Minister, the Chamber adopted, all but unani mously, a proposition stating that if on the coming to the throne of a new Sovereign, the Chambers were not sitting, they shall be convoked within a fortnight, and if not convoked, meet of their own accord; they can in no case whatever be dissolved before one month, unless at their own request. SWEDEN, DENMARK, AND THE DUCHIES, STOCKHOLM, JUNE G.—His Majesty the KING, accompanied by the CROWN PRINCE and the Duke of UPLAND, left for Malino yesterday by the steamer Gylfe. his MAJESTY had previously established a standing Regency, composed of Count SPARRE, as President, and the Counsellors of State, FAMAERES, WALLENsrEIN, and EIIRENSTAN. The preparations by land and water are carried on with great activity. The fortresses of Waxholm and Carlsten are to be placed in a state of defence as speedily as possible. MALIN°, JUNE 6.--His Majesty the King of SWEDEN arrived here today. He will probably re main here two or three weeks, and return to Stock holm at Midsummer. The King of DENMARK is expected to arrive here in two or three days. Yes terday eleven battalions of choice troops arrived here. They are to embark for Fahnen between the 13th and 14th, whither a division under General LowEisnoALm has already set out direct from Gothenburg. The C o mmander-in-Chief of the whole army will be placed under General LEFRON.—Huni burgh Correspondent. it was repurted at Copenhagen that Prince MEN. ZIKOFF, General SPRENGPORTEN, and the Danish Minister, would arrange as to the operations of the Danish, Swedish, and Russian forces against the Germans. From Malmo they write that 15,000 troops were assembled there with GO guns. In the roads were several large vessels of war, and twelve to sixteen Itu , sian ships of the line were expected there. C!OFENUAGEN, JuNr. 10.—The KING departed with the Aegyr for Malmo, where be arrived, and had in terviews with the King of SWEDEN" and Prince CARL GUSTAVUS and OSCAR. A review of the troops took place at Malmo ; both Kings repaired to Landscrona there they inspected the artillery corps and other troops, and the KING returned then by Helsingor to Fredericksborg. The Swedish troops are remark ably fine men. General lIEDEMANN says of the affair at Sundewitt on the sth :—" We had hard fighting, hut it was a successful [day for :us. Abcut noon the enemy at tacked our outposts, and our men retired under a heavy fire. I ordered my troops to take up a posi tion on the Duppeler heights ; here the warm recep tion we gave the enemy arrested his advance. Be tween seven and eight I attacked him with my re serve. The village of Duppel was taken and re-taken, but the enemy was obliged to withdraw his whole line, and towards dark our troops occupied their posi tion of the morning." Lieutenant-Colonel MORGENSTIERN was killed on the sth, and General HEDEMANN reports the number of his wounded as 199, brought into the hospital. In the order of the day of the 6th, the Danish commander says to his troops, " Soldiers, I thank you. You have gloriously contended against the enemy. At Flensburg you dispersed the insurgents ; at Schleswig you taught your enemy to respect you by the courage and determination you displayed against a superior force ; at Sundewitt you boldly drove back the enemy; and yesterday you fought like veteran soldiers, and his repeated attempts to force you from your position were frustrated by your resolution." General WRANGEL'S force, the Danish reports add, amounted to about 7,000 men, to which must be reckoned HALKETT'S division. RUSSIA. We translate the following from a letter which appears in the Paris National of yesterday, and which purports to have been written at St. Peters burgh : "Every one here is expecting some great event, if credit is to be attached to the reports in circulation, and which there is every reason to believe are well founded. The Emperor yesterday sent for the President of the Senate, the principal dignitaries of the empire, the bishop, and the ministers, and communicated to them a project which he had in contemplation, for immediately enfranchising all the peasants from personal servitude. They would then be placed in the same condition as the Poles, and the people in the provinces of the Baltic. " The young Prince G- V--, who is very popular at St. Petersburgb, warmly supported the plan; but the hereditary Grand Duke, who was believed to be of a weak awl irresolute character, supported by his uncle the Grand Duke Michael and a great number of important personages, insisted, with much firmness, on things remaining as they now are, founding their argu ments on the danger which would arise from giving freedom to men yet plunged in the lowest state of bar barism, and who have not yet received any of the advan tages of education; and that on the eve of a probable war any change of the kind would be impolitic. Not withstanding this opposition, orders were sent by the Emperor to the civil and military authorities in the dif ferent provinces, to sound the feelings of the people on the subject. _ _ " Poland, although occupied by more than 200,000 troops, causes much uneasiness to the Government, and it appears that it is resolved on to reconstruct that king dom. The question, however, is to know who shall be placed on the throne. The Grand Duke Constantine, the second son of the Emperor, has declared that he would not accept it, and his name, moreover, reminds the people c,f horrible atrocities. - " - The Emperor wishes to select his son-in-law, the Duke de Leuchtenberg; but the principal Boyards, jea lous of the Duke (who is called amongst themselves M. Beauharuais), warmly oppose it, and prefer the youngest son of the Emperor, only now 17 years of age. " All the Boyards understand with their master that it is desirable to settle the affair of Poland as quickly as possible, as it is the hot-bed of propagandism, the ramifications of which penetrate by little and little into the empire. " When free on that side, the Russians may fall with all their weight on the Danubian and Sclavonian pro vinces, which they have so long coveted. "For some time past the C4ar has spent whole days and nights at his telegraph, the lines of which are now established as far as Warsaw and the frontier of Prussia." ITALY. NAPLES AND SICILY. A body of 2,000 troops landed at Reggio on the Bth. This insurgent population at Cossenza have expelled the gens d'annes, who have returned to Naples. Advices from Sicily announce that the French Go vernment has acknowledged that of Sicily. The American Commodore READ applied to the Government for permission to winter in the harbour of Syracuse. A deputation from the Sicilian Government had been sent to Rome, who reported that they had met with the most favourable reception from the POPE, and that the Holy Father had expressed his sympathy with the people, and advised them to remember that they were making war not upon the Neapolitan people, but on King FERDINAND.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole morn ing with motions and petitions, it being the last day of Trinity Term. Nothing, however, came before his Lord. ship during the morning calling for a special report. VICE - CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the Vice-Chancellor of ENGLAND.) CHAMBERS V. SIGGERS. The VICE•CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, directing an issue to try whether the bill in question in the cause was or was not in the possession of the defendant Siggeri, on the 14kh of November last. The COURT then proceeded to hear motions, it being the last day of Trinity Term. (Before the Vice-Chancellor kNIGHT BRUCE.) GEE V. PEARCE—JUDGMENT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE KNAPP. This bankrupt had carried on business as a banker at Abingdon, and to-day was appointed for his last exami nation. Mr. Johnson, the official assignee, said that another adjournment must take place, as thu bankrupt had not yet satisfactorily accounted for the deficiency of 3,0001, which bankrupt said existed when he joined his father in the banking concern some years since. After a short discussion, his HoNon, said that the case must be adjourned at the bankrupt's expence ; the ad journment must be until after the vacation in September. SECONDARIES'._( 'HIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) RING V. SAUNDERSON. This was en action to recover the sum of 391. odd. The plaintiff is the landlord of a farm in Devonshire, and defendant was his tenant. The demand was for grass, fencing, &c., according to the custom of the country, and for poor's-rates paid by plaintiff. The value of the grass, &c. was p rove d, an d also an admission that defendant was to pay 40/, but plaintiff, by his particulars, admitted payment of 331. The SECONDARY held that plaintiff could only recover for the difference, as although there was a count on an account stated, there was no evidence—there was very little doubt how the matter was, that the money had been paid for the farm; bat, legally, as oLly the value of the grass was proved, the 33/. mist be set against it. The jury thereupon gave a vei•ciict for 6/. 3s. The other cases were withdrawn. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A young man, nam e d Phillips, was charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mary Williams. The prosecutrix said that, about eleven o'clock last night she met the prisoner in St. James's Park, and en tered into conversation with him. He told her that he was a comedian, and had a right of admission to every theatre in London. He proposed that they should go to one of the theatres, and they went towards one of the gates of the park with that view. On the way he in- I formed her that he was a single man, and wished to get married, and if she would consent he would marry her. She agreed. They went to several public-houses. They agreed to take a lodging, and they accordingly went to a house in George-street, St. Giies's, where they re mained for a considerable time. When they were about to go away, the prisoner took up her watch from a table on which she had laid it, and said he was going to see a friend, and he would like to wear it. She endeavoured to get it back from him, but he would not give it up, but left the place with it in his hand. She followed him, and " led her about " through all the narrow lanes its the neighbourhood till four o'clock in the morning, when they met a policeman, to whom she gave the prisoner in charge. They hsd met several men, to whom she would have spoken but that the prisoner threatened to blow her brains out jf she did. The policeman found the watch upon him. The prisoner said that the watch was his own property. Mr. JARDINE remanded him, in order that evidence on this point might be given on both sides, and that the police might make inquiries about some trinkets and duplicates that were found on the prisoner. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been on a fair average scale, and of excel lent quality. As the attendance of buyers was on the increase, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. Al though the imports of foreign Wheat continue compara tively small, the sale for that article was in a very slug gish state, but the importers would not submit to lower currencies. Very little English Barley was on offer; but the•show of foreign was larger. All descriptions ruled dull, and, in some instances, prices had a downward ten deucy. The show of Malt was on the increase, and the trade was heavy at barely stationary prices. The arrivals of Foreign Oats being largo that article was heavy on somewhat easier terms. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour dull, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Barley . . Oats. I Flom. 1,610 qrs. 14 ;1 0 0 qrs.i 4,260 ski -- 9,730 Malt, 4,710 qrs. SMITEPXELD.

The show of foreign stock was by no means large, and the arrivals from Scotland did not exceed 260 Scots. There was a slight falling off in the numbers of Sheep, owing to which the sale for that description of stock was firm, at very full prices. We had an improved demand for Lambs, but we have no advance to notice in prices, Calves, the supply of which were ex tensive, met a slow inquiry, at late rates. In Pigs, next to nothing was doing.

The Osservatore Triestino of the 6th instant appears to be apprehensive of a revolt of the ,Scla wonic population of the province of Istria, for the attainment of national independence, inasmuch as it devotes two columns to a leading article on the subject, demonstrating the inestimable advantages de rived by Istria from its union with Trieste, and depre cating, in the most energetic terms, any attempt on the part of the Sclaves to effect a separation. It ap pears that the province of Istria is disided into two distinct classes, the inhabitants of the cities and those of the rural districts. The former are Italians by language, customs, historical reminiscences, monuments, and, in short, everything that consti tutes nationality. The latter are Sclaves, who esta blished themselves as colonists with the consent of the Venetian Republic when the primeval inhabi tants had been almost entirely extirpated by wars and pestilence. The first represent the intelligence of Italy; the latter still sleep in the arms of Russia, and have always obstinately resisted any fusion with the Italians. Should this ignorant multitude rise in insurrection, a dreadful civil war would be the in evitable consequence, according to the Osservatore Triestino. CHANCER(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chancellor heard appeal motions and appeals to-day. • ST. 'VICTOR V. DEVEREUX.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the arguments were concluded yesterday. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from . the judgment of the Vice-Ch ance ll or o f E ng l a nd, allowing , a general demurrer t o th e pl a i n tiff' s bill for want of equity. The plaintiff, who sued in forma pauperis, by his bill, filed in May, 1843, claimed to be entitled to a portion of money awarded as compensation in respect of an estate called La Roche Talbot, which had been con fiscated during the French revolution. The estate in question was mortgaged to a large amount in the year 1777 by the then owner, Fanning, an English subject, and in the year 1791, during the French revolution, was confiscated by the French authorities. Under the conventions made with France in the year 1814, funds were set apart for compensation to be awarded to English subjects whose property had been confiscated during the French revolution. In pursuance of these Acts of Parliament the defendant Devereux preferred a claim to the Commissioners, as executor, in respect of the property confiscated, and ob tained au award of upwards of 24,000/. for the portion of the estate confiscated, the arrears of rents, and the personalty or moveables confiscated. The plaintiff's claim was founded upon his being a judgment creditor in respect of money advanced upon credit to the estate confiscated, and therefore the hill prayed that it might be liquidated out of the sum awarded as compensation. The demurrer for want of equity was supported on the grounds—first, that the treaty giving the compensation was limited entirely to English subjects, and that the interest of the plaintiff; who is a French subject, did not enter into it, and that the Court had no jurisdiction to give to a French subject what was wholly intended for an English subject; and secondly, that the decision of the Commissioners, who had decided against the claim, was final except in cases of fraud or trust, and no case of fraud or trust bad been even raised by the bill. The Vice-Chancellor allowed the demurrer, and from this order the plaintiff appealed. The Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment to-day, went at some length into the facts of the case and the authorities bearing upon the subject, especially those of Lord Eldon and Sir John Leach. It was clear to him that the compensation fund was intended for English subjects and Euglish subjects only, and such being the case, the plaintiff being a Frenchman, was not entitled to any participation in it. The judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England, allowing the demurrer, must therefore be affirmed with costs. Judgment affirmed with costs. MOTT V. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY. PRENDERGAST V. LUSHINGTON. These appeals, which stood on his Lordship's paper to-day for hearing were postponed to a future day, in consequence of the absence of the Solicitor -General, from indisposition. CARTER V. BARNARD. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court, upon a petition of rehearing, against the decree of the Vice-Chancellor of England, occupied the Ccurt the whole day.
