EVENING EDITION. SPAIN. The following circular from the Spanish Minister of Finance has just beep issued at Madrid. We ace nothing else that is worth extracting in the Spanish papers : CIRCULAR FROM THE MINISTER OF FIN The call upon the Treasury and the wants of the army are not met by the sums which have been paid .into the coffers of the State. The Regency, acting under the sacred mission which it has taken upon itself, to rescue the country, must have recourse to the ardent zeal and heroic efforts of the principal functionaries of the public treasury, in order to ward against the difficult circum stances in which we are placed. With the view of meet ing the most indispensable charges of the State, it has resolve pon making an appeal to the patriotism of the it intends , and to place in their hands the means of remodyi g •the great penury in which we find ourselves, in order t.) keep up the pay of the army. With that ob ject the Regency has ordered a connibution of fifteen millions of reels to be levied, to be divided between the most influlntial provinces of the kingdom, to be distributed immediately and punctually to the military intendants of each district of those provinces, on account of the current conrgnments, and tti meet the loan and pay of the officers. The provicce, the administration of which is confided to you, is comprised in the division for a sum of reals vcllon, nh'ch must be realised in a week after the present order. You will use every resource, relations of all kinds, the most urgent entreaties to patriots, the furze of com mand, the utmost excitement of cons , ituted bodies, in shot t all that your most ardent zeal cam suggest to you in order to colle;:t the said sum, without neglecting the resource of the twin will interest at sia per cent. a year until the period of reimbursement. You will give a real and sacred guyantee for two-thirds of the sums which bare been zetlised for the account of the extraordinary contri bution of one hundred and eighty millions, the collection of which is alresdy commenced, and which ;on arc to hasten with a very resolute authority. The one-third remaining will be held at the disposal of the Government in confor mity with she decree of the 13th instant. I have sub mitted to you the true situation at the present time ; any other -recommendation would be sups i fluous. The time has arrived for you to peeve that you are deserving of the cot fidence which the Regency has paced in you, and tbat you are worthy of the office which you fill. To collect the sum required in a we( k, and to place it at the dispeird of eric mlitary intendant, is a mission which, under ordinary circumstances, would be but the pure an I simple fulfilment of your dory, but it becomes now a service, which, it executed with vats% and prompti tude, will merit the esteem and a recomponse from the Regency. It is by its orders that this circular is ad dressed to oa for your government, and th it you may fulfil the sarri , .. in every pint. Mal;id, Jan. 27, 1341.

E.—Freezing Point 32 Deg. Strand GOA.—Three vessels, with 500 Portuguese scl diers, have just arrived at Goa from Europe. They have had along and tedious passage, having rut off consichrnble time at Mozambique. A fracas, which at cnc time assumed rather a ',crises aspect, lately occurred betwixt the Gc veruor and the Commander of the French sated corvette Dordogne. As formerly intimatt d, the Governor of Goa issued an order, that no French or English vessels should be permitted to remain at Goa so long as there might be a likelihood of war betwixt England and France. The order to this effect bad been issued in somewhat more peremptory and imperious terms than the French com mander cared for, concluding with a threat of forcible ex pulsion, unless it was immediately obeyed. The reply to this was, that if the Governor of Goa meant to compel a French ship-of.war to leave his shores when she was not so disposed, he bad better build more forts within reach of her. This, of coarse, occasioned an angry rejoinder, which was answered by a speech on the part of the French man, more nautical than diplomatic, to the effect that the Gosemor of Goa might go to the d-1. Matters could hardly go further than this without coming to blows, so the Dordogne sailed out of the harbour in the sulks. The whole matter was reported at Bombay, and a shraf of papers, notices, replica, duplies, and triplies, is to be for warded by thc overland of to-day. The Dordogne has now departed for the Lie of Bourbon, and the French re sident at Bombay has gone down to Goa to appease the irate Portuguese. and prevent a national quarrel. Our friends in Europe, ve venture to say, did not dream of a French war being threatened by an outburst of nationa dignityon this tide the Red Sea.—Bornbay Times, Dcc. 19 STATE Ow THE RlVER.—Since the memor able frost of 1814, when a fair was held on the Thames, the river has not been in so bad a state, or covered with so much ice, as it was on Monday afternoon. The increase of the ice has been most extraordinary during the last four days. On Sunday, just before high water, the tiers of colliers near Bell Wharf-stairs yielded to the pressure of the ice, and were driven from their moorings. The ships were forced against each ether in all directions, and spars and bowsprits were breaking, while occasionally bulwarks were stove in. Some of the vessels were driven over towards the south shore, and many were carried by the ice a mile or a =toile-and-a-half up the river before they were secured. The Lady Saumarez steam-ship, chartered by the Commer cial Company to proceed to Boulogne, left Fresh Wharf, with about silty passengers, on Sunday, at ten o'clock, and proceeded as far as Globe-stairs, Rotherbithe, where her further progress was stopped by the ice, which formed a complete barrier across the stream. The Meanie, after making several ineffectual attempts to cut through the ice, was compelled to put back and re land her passengers at the Custom-house, and after wards cast anchor off St. Katharine's, where she still remains. On Monday the navigation was almost entirely suspended, and we believe the Dundee steam-ship, from Dundee, was the only arrival during the day, with the exception of a few coal-barges, each navigated by three or four lightermen. The navigation above Blaekw all was suspended. The Gravesend and Woolwich steamers have ceased running, except two vessels from Bleckwall, and very little business was doing either in the docks or in the wharves alongshore. On Monday the Thames Po lice received information that the body of a man bad been seen floating amidst the ice in Blackwell reach, and could not be got out. It was said that a lightermen an swering the same description had been seen alive on Sunday morning near Woolwich on the ice, that he was loudly for help, and that no one could reach him, or succeed in throwing a line to him. It is feared he af tare ards perished of cold. ANOTIIER CORN-LAW MURDER.—On Mon day an inquest was held at the Half-moon and Seven Stars, Stanhope street, Drury-lane, before Mr. Higgs, on Thomas Vaughan, aged seventy-two, whose death occur red under the following circumstances :—James Dixon, of 23, Blackmoor-street, stated that he lodged in the second floor of the above house, in which deceased (a tailor) oc cupied the Trent attic. Friday evening witness heard a tense, as if some one had knocked at his door, and on opening it he found deceased seated on the stairs in a very exbausted state, and suffering severely from the cold. Witness assisted deceased to rise, and led him into his (witness's) room, where he made him sit down be fore the fire. Deceased said he wanted to go out and see about some work, but witness dissuaded him from so doing, and in shout an hour afterwards led him up stairs into his own room. Deceased said he had only earned Bd. all the week, and at his request witness sent out and procured him a pennyworth of bread. Witness also gave him a piece of candle, seeing that he had none ; he was even without coals, and had apparently been without a fire all day. Witness placed him on the bed, anclthen left him. Elizabeth Cross, who lived in the next room to deceased, stated that she afterwards gave deceased a light ; he appeared to be almost in a dying s t a te. He ate part of the bread which had been pro cured for him, and did net seem to have had any food before during that day. He lay down again on the bed, and was evidently getting weaker. Witness, believing that deceased was dying, tent for xhe landlord, who in stantly procured medical aid. Deceased was almost dead before the surgeon arrived, though be came imme. diately. The landlord of the house stated that deceased had lodged with him som e months, and owedh im fou rtee n weeks' rent. What furnitu re there was in the room be longed to the deceased ; it consisted of a chair, table, and bedstead; there was neither bed, sheets, no I blan was ev s i ke t,de the only covering being part of an old ru g . his that deceased had been in the ha bit of sleeping in hi clothes, the appearance of which bespoke extreme poverty. When he died ke bad not even a shirt on. Decensed never c)rnplainea, and until Iris death no one knew that he Val suffering from actual want. The jury, after a length ened investigation, returned a verdict of " Natural Death, aocelerated by want aid the state of the weather." REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—About three o'clock on Monday morning, the watchman in Morton street, Leith, had his attention called to a dreadful noise proceeding from a stable belonging to a carter named John Newlands. Being unable to effect an entrance to see what was the.matter he hastened to Newlands' house at the foot of Lechend-road, and brought him to the place; when, on enterieg. abet was their amazement and horror to find a herd of six swine, belonging to an old man: the adjoining tenant, busily engaged in devouring Newlands' horse I The pigsty was se parated from the stable by a wooden partition ; but impelled, it is said, by hunger, they actually tore down t h e partiti.)n, and seized upon the poor horse, which being tied to its manger, could make little resistance. So desperately ravenous were the brutes, that it was only after additional assistance had been obtained, and the mutilated animal dragged out of the stable, that they were overpowered and driven from their prey. Th e horse was by this time in such a state of agony that hu manity prompted Newlands to procure a gun and shoot him immediately. What adds to the painful occurrence Is, that Newland's sole dependence for the support of him self, a wife, and five children, was his horse and cart; and that he had lost one of his children by death on the previous def.—Scotsman.

Viscount MELBOURNE, in the House of Lop last night, moved an address in answer to her MAJESTY'S Message of the night before, to assure her MAJESTY of their Lordships' concur rence in her desire to provide for Lord KEANE. The Noble Viscount referred to the eminent ser vices of the Noble Lord in every part of the globe, and to the vote of thanks given him by the House last Session for his serviceq beyond He alludi:_qi to the (if_.la\ - in brit42,inrr forward the motion, but declined to explain its cause. Lord ELLEIIBOROUGH expressed the hearty THE SUN. LON concurrence of the Tories 4n the motion, and ' highly eulogised the Indian army, which realised, so the Duke of WELLINGTON had said, his Grace's idea of the Roman legions. The address was agreed to nem. con., and their Lordships adjourned to Thursday. In the Commons, a number of petitions were presented against the New Poor-law ; and for the abolition of patronage in the Church of Scot land, &c. Mr. SANFORD gave notice of amendments to the Poor-law Commissioners! Bill, to prevent parish apprentices gaining a settlement, to give overseers their expenses, and to limit the duration of the Bill to five years. Captain PEcHELL gave notice of amendments to exempt Gilbert unions from its operation. Mr. COLQUHOUN, on Feb. 23, is to ask for leave to bring in a Bill to alter. the law about May nooth. His profane hands should not meddle with the subject. Several questions were put, either so shortly that we cannot abridge them, or they are not worth abridgment, and for them we refer to our report. Lord STANLEY again adverted to the unfortu nate case of Mr. M'LEOD, and expressed an opinion, that for Lord PALMERSTON to lay on the table only the correspondence relative to it which had already been made public, would be very inconvenient. The Noble Lord also asked for some more distinct information as to what the Government meant to do, and what it had done to interfere for M'LEoD. He asked particularly whether the Government had taken steps in re ference to the proceedings then in progress, and which would be effectual to save Mr. M'LEoD. Viscount PALMERSTON explained that when he said, the day before, he had no objection to pro duce the correspondence. in question, he did not intimate any intention, on his part, to lay it on the table; and he thought the Noble Lord had acted wisely in not movinc , for it. With regard to the question put by the ' : Noble Lord, instruc tions, in anticipation of a similar case to that of Mr. M'LEon, had been sent to Mr. Fox a year and a half ago, and on them Mr. Fox had acted in this case. Mr. Fox had since reported the whole case to the Government, but the communication had been delayed, and it was only yesterday that the Government had sent off final and con clusive instructions. In answer to sundry questions, it was stated, both by Lord PALMERSTON and Lord J. RUSSELL, that the Government had approved of the cap ture of the Caroline, and had signified its appro bation to the United States. It is clearly, there fore, a question for adjustment between the two countries; and we trust that the authorities at New York will not be so ill advised as to take ven geance on an individual who, trusting to their good faith, has put himself into their hands. In reply to questions, Lord MORPETH said that it was not his intention to bring in any measure relating to railways in Ireland, or to amend the Poor-law in Ireland ; but that it was intended to bring in a Bill to amend the Municipal Corpo rations Bill. _ Mr. SHAW took the opportunity of defending a Mr. BLACKER from the charge of being an Orange man, which both he and Mr. Sergeant JACK.- soN admitted, by their eagerness to repel the im putation, to be a disgrace. Lord MORPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws for the drainage of land in Ireland, and in doing it said very properly that such a measure would confer more benefit on Ireland than his own or Lord STANLEY'S Re gistration Bill. The Noble Lord has a just ap preciation of the use of legislation, and is more honourably modest than the bulk of the law makers. Mr. F. KELLY moved for leave to bring in a Bill, co-extensive with his Bill of last Session, to abo lish the punishment of death. It is quite unneces sary to re-state the arguments used pro. and con. on this question; we shall only therefore observe that Mr. KELLY is to introduce a measure, if no other person does, to make secondary punish ment effective, if he can. Mr. EWART, who is always active in forward ing measures of humanity and measures of free trade, seconded the motion. Lord Joiri RUSSELL again expressed his opinion that it was not expedient to alter the law to the extent proposed by the Hon. Member. No opposition, however, was made to the motion, and leave was given. Mr. EWART withdrew his motion to equalize the duties on East and West India produce, be cause since he gave notice her MAJESTY'S Go vernment had taken up the subject. Captain PECHELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe ReCovery Act. The Gallant Officer explained that the amendment was necessary, because Ecclesiastical Courts were not her MAJESTY'S Courts. Dr. isitenom. very rudely said that the Bill was necessary by the bungling legislation of the Gal lant Officer, for which remark he was properly and spiritedly rebuked by Mr. F. MAULE and Mr. HUME. The Learned Civilian had allowed the error to pass, and he, therefore, as a law maker, was responsible for it. Captain PECHELL blundered by mistake, Dr. Nictiou. blundered by design. The former was faulty, the lat ter criminal. There are many other persons as well as Captain PECHELL who are not aware that the Ecclesiastical Courts are not the Queen's Courts; but now that Dr. N 'owl. has informed them that they are the Bishop's, destitute of all authority but his, many conscientious men will think it a duty to set them at defiance: It is bad enough to be the slaves of the aristocracy, but the people are not so degraded as to be the slaves of priests whom they despise. Mr. Fox MAULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the practice and extend the juris diction of the County Courts. The object of it is to assimilate the law in all parts of England and Wales, and provide for the establishment of these Courts by one general measure. This is a step towards making the administration of the law cheap and accessible. It extends the juris diction of the County Courts; it gives the Judge a permanent salary, and makes him dependent on the Crown. The Judges are not to practise as barristers. Some discussion arose incidentally as to the dependence of the - bar on the bench-- which Mr. O'CONNELL said was subserviency— and as to the patronage of these Courts but, in general, the measure found favour on both sides of the House, and leave to bring in the Bill was given. Mr. Fox MAULE afterwards obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the LORD CHANCELLOR to transfer certain proceedings in the Court of Chancery to these County Courts. Such analte ration would give a speedy relief to debtors, 'and ensure a great saving. The Bill will probably be looked on with jealousy, as it enables the LORD CHANCELLOR to increase the number of Judges in the County Courts, when necessary. Leave was given. In a Committee of the whole House, on the laws relative to the Copyrights of Design, Mr. EMERSON TENNENT explained at great length the injury which he thinks is now done to the owners of designs, by their being pirated and copied. He proposes to extend the time which a copyright lasts from three to twelve months, and moved re solutions to that effect. Mr. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion, and it will excite some surprise to see him and Mr.' EMERSON TENNENT running in couples. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS opposed it as having a tendency to injure the cotton manufacture. After a protructed •discussion in which Mr. LABOUCIIERE, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Mr. MORRISON, Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. HUME, Mr. BROTHERTON, and Mr. WARBURTON, took part, though neither made a long speech, the resolutions were agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in. It was subsequently brought in, and read a first time. The Address to her MAJESTY in answer to the Message about Lord KEANE, was postponed. In answer to Mr. HUME, Sir J. HOBIIOUSE stated that it was intended to give Lord KEANE 2,000/. a-year for himself - and the two following lives in succession to the title. The question is to be brought forward on Friday. Mr DIVETT moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable Jews to hold office on subscribing a ' declaration instead of takinn . oaths. Sir R. 'Nous of course objected to it, as when did he not object to lessening the savage bigotry of the law 1 Mr. WARBURTON supported. Mr. DivETT and Mr. GLA DSTONE , w h o wr it es b oo ks about the m Church, took th e same v i ew as Si r R.

Mr. MARK PHILLIPS has. given notice of a motion for a Committee of the House of Com mons, to inquire into the 'exportation of ma chinery. The short facts of the case, we believe, are these : Owing to the present state of the law, a good deal of machinery in a complete state cannot be exported. The law prohibits it. The same machinery, however, is exported piece in al. it Qf, or models of it are taken away; and %Olaf! the law litercti)fe does wit prevent foreigners from acquiring our machinery and learning its use—which no law can prevent, • r 4 ON, WEDNESIAY, FEBRUARY 10, 184 E. and which it is rather diabOl%al: o.:lirift . .ati:--it completely prevents our artizans antl.:..tna:thine'l makers from manufacturing:Mashinery 4,i...ie foreign market.

We read and quoted witl - Pgreatfpleasure, on Friday week, Sir R. PEEL'S - r.rd.dreS : stbn, opening the Literary Institution at Tdinwortii. We saw in it much to admire, and NiNtre redly to praise the Right Hon. Baronet as a, convert to princi ples which his party had continually opposed. He advocated the progress of knowledge, and he implied thatit is very beneficial, if not all-suffi cient. We were not at all surprised, therefore, to: find the Right Hon. Baronet's addi.ess severelk: censured in the Times of last Friday. The attack appeareAin the form of a letter, (No. I. of a series, we presume, though No. 11. has not yet appeared,) which was honoured with large types, leads, &c., to make it as conspicuous as possible, without elevating it to a leader. The JoUrnal was willing to inflict that chastisement by the hands of another which prudence forbad it to inflict by its own hand. The writer says— I shall surprise no one who hai carefully read Sir Robert's Address, and perhaps all who have not; by stating my convic tion, that, did a person take it up without looking at the title page, he would to a certainty set it down to be a production of the years 1827 and 1828, the scene Gower-street, the speaker Mr. Brougham or Dr. Lushington, and the occasion, the laying the first stone or the inauguration of the then called London University. I profess myself quite unable to draw any satisfac tory line of difference between the Gower-street and the Tamworth exhibition, except, of course, that Sir Robert's personal religious feeling breaks out in his Address across his assumed philosophy. I say assumed ; I might say affected— for I think toolvell of him to believe it to be genuine. What a character is given . of Toryism and of its chief in that single passage. In it volumes of instruction are compressed. ITypocrisy is its corner-stone. The writer accuses Sir ROBERT PEEL, he belonging to Sir ROBERT'S party, of as suming and affecting philosophy, and he thinks _ _ too well of Sir ROBERT to believe that ,his lan guage was sincere. He professes a burning ad- miration for deceit. He openly avows, speaking genuine Toryism, that it is vicious to be honest. What a mass of crime is involved in that single sentence which concludes the quotation. Hypo crisy, lying, cheating, and boasting of immorality: It is the sketch of Toryism by a master hand. " They best can paint it" who know it best, and such a description by the Tory Times is a gem to be preserved in the cabinet of every Liberal. Sir ROBERT'S philosophy, though " assumed" and " affected," resembling the genuine philo sophy of Lord BROUGHAM and Dr. LUSHING TON, is what moves the writer's anger. The more knowledge is exalted the less the ministra tions of a priesthood are necessary; and to lessen the value and importance of these sets some persons scolding and hissing as if water were thrown on red-hot iron. They will not allow knowledge even to be hypocritically praised, without taking up arms. Sir ROBERT, following in the wake of Lord BROUGHAM and Drl,Lusn- INGTON, as well as quoting Sir IsAAC NEWTON and Sir H. DAVY, came to the conclusion that " man in becoming wiser became better—that he rose in the scale of intellectual and moral existence—and that, in proportion as the veil becomes thinner through - which he sees the cause of things, he will admire more the brightness of the Divine light by which they are rendered perceptible. "My firm belief is," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " that that superior sagacity which is most con versant with the course and constitution of nature, which sees the wondeVul preparations which are made for the subsistence and enjoyment of the meanest animal, will be the first to believe that the Almighty Being, who has made such prepa rations for mere physical enjoyment, has not left in neglect and indifference the immortal soul of man." All such doctrines are gall and worm wood to those who teach that the knowledge of the world never can lead to GOD; that it is a hindrance to faith in their doctrines; that to see GOD man must exclude or conquer the phy sical world; that physical enjoyment, which the Right Hon. Baronet regards as a proof of the Divine existence, and as sufficient to justify a belief in another life, is the chief snare laid by the Devil; all such doctrines are directly op posed to the doctrines taught by a large body of of the Established Priests, if not by the whole of them, and therefore it is that one of their repre sentatives speaks in the Tory Times of the Right lion. Baronet's doctrines in the following lan guage : On the occasion in question Sir Robert gave expression to a theory of morale and religion, which, of course, in a popular speech, was not put out in a very dogmatic form,,but wkich, when analysed and fitted together, reads somewhat as follows : Human nature, he seems to say, if left to itself, becomes sensual and degraded. Uneducated men live in the indulgence of their pissions, or, if they are merely taught to read, they dis sipate and debase their minds by trifling on vicious pub:ications. Education is the cultivation of the intellect and heart, and use ful knowledge is the great instrument of education. It is the parent of virtue, the nurse of religion ; it exalts man to his highest perfection, and is the sufficient scope of his most earnest exertions. Physical and moral science rouses, transports, exalts, enlarges, tranquillizes, and satisfies the mind. Its attractiveness obtains a hold over us ; the excitement attending it supersedes grosser excitements ; it makes us know our ditty, and thereby enables us to do it ; by taking the mind off' itself, it destroys anxiety ; and by providing objects of admiration, it soothes and sub dues us. And, in addition, it is a kind of neutral ground, on which men of every shade of politics and religion may meet together, disabuse each other of their p r ejudices, form intimacies, and practise co-operation. This, it is almost needless to say, is the very theory,. ex pressed temperately, in which Mr. 13rougham once expatiated in the Glasgow and London Universities. • • • It is reserved for few to witness the triumph of their own opinions ; much less to witness it in the instance of their own d.rect and personal opponents. Whether the Lord Brougham of this day feels all that satisfaction and inward peace which he attributes to s uccess of whatever kind in intellectual elorts, it is not for me to decide ; but that he has achieved, to speak in his own style, a mighty victory, and is leading in chains be hind his chariot heels a great captive , is a fact beyond ques tion. Such is the reward in 1841, for unpopularity in 1827. • What, hoyievlr, is a boast to Lord B roug ham, is in th e some preportion, 'slur upon the fair fame of Sir Robert Peel, at lest in thdjuilgment of these who bare hitherto been his friends. t lirhethe'r fir ROBERT were only shamming Lord BROtTGIIAINI'S wisdom and sagacity, as the da Tory wriOriays or whether he wee h re in e om a rnge toest, at Tamworfa, and really paying " divine philosophy," the palpable discrepancy between Mm and the priest p art y is not the less remarkable, and the homage, whether sincere or not, which he has paid to the importance of knowledge, is not the less deserving of public approbation. The bitter hostility which is avowed to his doctrines must• prove that the Priest and the Ultra -Tory party have a deadly enmity to knowledge, and will crush it, though encouraged by Sir R. PEEL, wherever they can. That is their creed. Toryism and knewledr.re, Toryismi tui d biumanitr, are antl*- liist prilie:iples, itticl no nia,tl'lL: ill c;o- 1 ,,c of Toryis:a without rilt ,, to 60 fic kno* ,. '"le€ l ;:e, and all the brotherly affections of mankind. But though Sir R. PEEL, at least in what he ' --affects and assumes, is ranged on the side of the 'Liberals, he must and will, in his actions, go with the Tories. For the sake of power, he will condescend to be the slave of the men who ac- Ase him of being a hypocrite. He will justify 'tlieir accusation. Far from being satisfied with 'promoting secular knowledge, when he returns to .office lie will most likely endeavour to plant mere churches, and endow more parsons. Far from then acting as if knowledge ennobled and elevated man, he will devote the public income to hire and bribe an additional army of clergy :Jaen to suppress knowledge, and to teach that they alone can lead men to morality here, and hap ,' piness hereafter. Far from then supporting the doctrine that the preparations for physical en joyment supply a proof that the ALMIGHTY -has not let't in neglect and indifference the immortal soul of man—which implies, as the preparation has always, and everywhere existed, universal redemption, and the redemption of the - whole human race of all time—he will then de ' maid more Church, aye, and lie will inflict civil privations on those who do not belong to the Church, though it deny, in opposition to his own doctrine, redemption to allbut the small number of human beings who have believed as it has be ' -lieved during the. last 1,800 years, and Nvito may have received the sacrament at the hands of its pastors. Sir Hop.EnT PEEL, by his conduct in - -supporting the Church, proves every day that the Tory writer of the Times knows him well, and that he was only shamminw philosophy when he assumed the language and affected the send ," ilients of Lord BROUGHAM. Since the above was in type, which a press of otlier matter compelled us to defer, No. 11. of the series in the I'imes, has appeared. Some Oservations in it at the close, completely identify She writer, who signs " Catholieus," with the priest , - party. His objections to Sir llonEaT's doctrines '• are, that they slur over or dissipate the passions, do not by means of religion aim to re d-nodel the heart of man. In other words, the writer derides all knowledge as useless ;to rectify and enlighten conduct, except jthat of which the priests claim a monopoly. le quotes wise man instances of indi . uals knowing their duty and neglecting to per form it; but Christians do that as well as heath ons ; and, at least, the man who does know his duty, is more likely to perform it than he who has tio knowledge of it whatever. How a man igno- OW, Of his duty is to do it, except, like the slaves !4t . the Jesuits in Paraguay, they do what the IPries's tell them, we know not. To have this )vriter, who avows himself an admirer of hypo „Crisy, insincerity, and deceit, who thinks too %Well" of Sir ROBERT PEEL, not to suppose that he deliberately bummed the confiding people .who lent him their ear and their minds at Tam worth, to impress on them the image of his own soul—to have this avowed enemy of knowledge and defender of the lowest and most despicable vice, identified with the priest party, is for us a great delight. It demonstrates clearly that they will stop at no falsehood, no guile, no deceit which serves to attain their end. They even brand their greatest leader as committing one of the paltriest tricks of low charlatans, and as being one of the paltriest of mankind. The Paris Papers of Monday have been re ceived The Monitcur contains the following official despatch announcing the settlementa the Douro question : " MArRID, FEB. I. " TUE FRENCS CHARGE D'AFFAIRES TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN A!FAIRS. " The question relative to the Douro is terminated. The Chamber of Peers has voted the law for the regula tion of the navigation of this river. The Queen has giTan her assent to the Bill introduced for that purpose.'! The same announcement is made in the Madrid Gazette, of the Ist instant, in the following terms.: . _ " filer Majesty's Government received yesterday . the 1 grateful information of the Portuguese Senate having ap proved on the 26th of January the regulations for the free navigation of the Douro, pursuant to the Treaty of the 31st of August, 1835; and of her Fs4hful Majesty the Queen of Portugal having sanctioned the measure, in accordance 'with both Chambers, which thus becomes the law. In this manner has this most important Treaty, which opens a prolific source of advantages to both countries, been fully completed, and. will be immediately carried into effect. From this day forward it will become a new bond between the two nations, uniting closer and closer their relations and common interests ; whilst in so grateful an event the Spanish Government finds the means of showing Europe the sincerity with which they acted in this question, which ending ia this satisfactory manner, nothing can alter or disturb the amity and alliance existing bet Ween the tyro kingdoms." Next to the adoption of the Treaty for the Navigation of the Douro by the Portuguese Go vernment, we hail as a good onion the excellent spirit in which this concession to a threat has been received by the Spanish Regency: The French Government also published on Monday the following despatch, confirming the news from Malta, published in The Sun of yes terday " MALTA, JAN. 28. " THE FRENCH CONSUL TO THE MINISTBR FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The Turkish fleet, restored by Mehemet Ali, bad quitted Alexandria. Solyman Pacha had arrived in Cairo, with a division of 8,000 men. Ibrahim was ap proaching Gaza, whither the Nile steamer had been sent to meet him." There was a report current in Paris on Mon day, originating we know not with whom, that a satisfactory adjustment of the China question had taken place. We do not believe that in such reports there is a syllable of truth. From the whole of the accounts brought by the last overland mail we hesitate not to pronounce Ad miral ELLIOT'S expedition a complete failure. And, taking all the circumstances into considera tion, we do not see how it could be otherwise. From a letter from Macao, dated October 13, now before us, and for which we shall endeavour to find room in Tice Sun of to-morrow, it appears that when Admiral ELLIOT was at the mouth of the Peiho he refused personally to negotiate with the Imperial Envoy .as being his inferior in rank, and therefore left the negotiations to be entirely carried on by Captain ELLIOT — the last English man in China who ought to have been entrusted with such functions. 1 f the Admiral was of opi nion that it would be imprudent to waive the least point of etiquette in treating with the Chinese, he surely might have insisted on the appointment of an officer of higher rank to treat with him. But to leave the Peiho without even extorting the courtesy of an interview with an offi cer of his own rank was in itself to destroy the moral effect of the expedition. In the Chamber of Peers on Monday the Mar quis DREUX BREZE, a Royalist Peer, called the attention of the Government to the Treaty with Buenos Ayres, which he denounced as discredit able to France. M. GulzoT replied that the Treaty was concluded under the instructions of the THIERS' Cabinet, and that as he and his colleagues did not view it in so unfavourable a light as the Noble Marquis, it was the intention of the Go vernment to ratify it. There is very little political news of any mo ment in the Paris Journals of Monday. On the subject of the arrest of the editor of La France the subjoined official paragraph appears in the Message?. : " Several papers have called on the Minister to explain himself respecting the arrest and imprisonment of the gerant and chief editor of La France. The answer is simple, and all men of good faith must be aware of it. The Magistrates charged with the examination of an affair have not rendered an eceount of their motives. They act in virtue of the law, and the law not only authorises, but compels the arrest of individuals accused of forgery." The Customs' Bill occupied the Chamber of Deputies on Monday. The debate, up to post hour, was of no interest. The only paragraph of importance adopted was that fixing the duties on foreign coals, as follows :--" Imported at any point between the sands of Olonne and the port of Dunkirk, if in French vessels, ten sous the 100 kilogrammes (2001bs.); if in foreign bottoms one franc the 100 kilogrammes. At other points of the coast the existing duties to be maintained. Duty on coke double that of coals." Tlie Toulonnais has the Subjoined statement respecting the ensuing campaign in Africa : " Advices from Algiers of the 26th of February, state that a decisive campaign is in preparation for the spring. Several transports, loaded with provisions and supplies, have been despatched from Toulon for Algiers. It is ex pected that by the Ist of April there will bo a full supply of provisions at Algiers. " The general effective state of the army is now 60,000 men. every thing included. It is stated that on arriving at Algiers General Bugeaud will occupy himself in the first instance ai h the ameliorations which the sanatory state of the al my demands. " It is thought that the time for a colonization in ear nest, and on an extensive scale, has arrived, The Arabs are in dismay and worn out, the occapation of Medea and of Miliana has driven them away from Algiers and the Mitidja. There is now room enough on the Sahel and on the plain for 100,000 colonists. " We learn that the expedition which is in preparation will be directed in the first instance on Tekedempt, where Abd. el. Kadei 's principal forces are united at this moment." FIRE IN FRANCS.—The Journal de Toulouse gives the following account of a fire which occurred a few days since at Castellanes, from a cause extremely rare at this time of the year, and under circumstances rather extraordinary. After a night pouring down a de lu g e of . rain, a violent storm of thunder and lightning. ca me on just es the daylight on the succeeding evening began to fail, and aeon afterwards a bolting-mill seated on the river Douine was perceived to be on fire. It burnt fi.'!r:!;.ly red rapilly until it wns entirely consumed. tllnuo not only completely surrowadeci by water, bat cl.mt flooded to t'ne d. nth of betoeeri t vc . o tnrce feet above the ground floor. The scene is represented as having been most awful, giving the resemblance of a large EVENING EDITION ship in flames in the middle of the ocean. By some per sons the adeAent is attributed to a barrel of quick linv, which, being reached by the water, ignited, and at last burst into flame ; hut the more general opinion is that it was caused by the lightning, as there was a tremendous explosion only a few seconds before the flames were rer ceivcd. The journal states that the value of the property destroyed was very great, but does not mention the loss of any life. A correspondent of the Sud, at Alexandria, writes on the 23d ult., that Commodore Napier was riding about wherever he went in the carriage of Boghos Bey ; and that Walker Pacha and his aides-de camp were taking their promenades on the Viceroy's horses of ceremony, with their gilt saddles. Mehemet Ali himself isdecribed as not presenting any symptoms of dejection in his coun tenance. He continued his friendship as usual to the French Consul-General, and complained of not seeing him at the palace so often as before. The foll,r‘ving from Odessa, 18th ult., is given by tl.e 111 , miteur Parisiett ,‘ The pl ,gue has made its appearance in Georgia, and, although not very malignant, has already extended about 20 leagues on this side of T Ells. General Golowin, the goverresr•general, hail received orders to establish a sana tory cordon on the line of the Caucasus, in order to save the interior from.being attacked. lie, however, abstained from ding this, representing that cordons to such a vast extent tfferd no protection, while their more cer tain consequences are ruin to commerce, discontent of the people, and imi.ediments to military operations; he added, that he censidered the measure adopted by him of surrounding every place where there was the least appearance of the evil, leaving the intercourse between the other parts of the country free and open, as one more effie&ClOLl3. This opi iion is said to have prevailed at St. Peters , surgh. Never heless, as in such cases too much precaution cannot be taken, four regiments of Cossacks have been placed at the disposal of Ceunt Woronzow, to establish sanatory cordons wherever he may think right, in case the plague 51 o ild pass from the Caucasus and make an irruption into Ru;i'a.
