Holland is much more inclined to religious than to political struggles. Here lies the clanger, and the danger is a serious one. At first the ultra organs of the Protestant party bugan to murmur, but soon declaimed against the pretended par tiality of the new King th war dg the Catholics. Never theless, nothing has been done for them yet. They had solicited greater liberty for instruction, buC their prayers, though supported by the ~,liberal opposition, have not yet been granted. The execution cf the concordat concluded in 1827 with Rome—a measure highly desirable for the welfare of the State, has been brought forward, it is true, but the affair is still stationery. Nevertheless this has excited alarm among the Protes tants, and pamphlets have been distributed to the ueople. From elements such as these, painful results must arne I What else can be expected, when religious hatred and 2as sions are raised in the lower classes ? The weakness of the Government on the approach of the crisis renders the peril more meracinn,-. The Govern ment is disorganised—there no Cabinet--no govern mental system—no unity of action, while contradictory measures arc every where running foul of each other. While parties arc struggling, both in the CLamber and in the pavers, the Council of St,te, the Cow,cil of .Mir.is ter,-, remain divided, and are doing nothing. It is highly necessary to introduce order and economy into every branch of the public service, and to call Lack public confidence, which certainly does not exist et pre sent. The present Ministers must be dismissed, and en lightened talented men—men devoted to the constitutional regimen, and rsse;sing the estr ern of the public in gene ral, must take office in their stead. The longer this im minent necessity is delayed, the more authority Govern ment will KO' '44111 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1841. No. 5,170. PRICE sd. GODALNIING, SURREY. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.

CRIME IN TIPPERARY. I apprised you a week or two since, of the scarcity of potatoes in the county of Waterford, to such an extent that the agent of the Mining Company of Ireland, which em ploys a great number of people at the copper mines of Knockmahon, hail found it necessary to import a cargo of potatoes, and to forward a supply of oatmeal for im mediate use. Is the neighbouring county of Tipperary, too, it appears that some apprehension begins to prevail regarding the stock of potatoes, and the peasantry are re sorting to intimidation, in order to compel landlords to charge something like a moderate price fur ground let out for the growth of this esculent. Now, this reminds me of the terrible uproar recently made by the Times, in re lation to some recent crimes in the northern part of Tippe rary, bordering the Shannon, which had, even in former times of disturbance, generally been in a state of tranquil lity. But it appears that the ejectment system has been in operation there for some time past, and that system has bten universally the precursor of disturbance. The Times adopts as its own " thunder," all the extravagant exaggeration upon this subject put forth by a notorious f.brca , or of crime in Tipperary, the Nenagh Guardian, publishing it one day as received by express, and repeating it the next as having "appeared in past only of yesterday's impres sion." There used, in Tory times, to be twenty murders for the one committed during the last five or six years. The (limes now perpetrated are, almost invariably, con nected with the letting of land : and, I fear, whilst that source of evil exists, the character of the country will con tinue to be stained by the most criminal outrages. The praise of the Government is, tha►, under its administra tion, agrarian, as well as all other crimes, have greatly diminished. As the Nenagh Guardian, rec&ved yesterday, had another list of outrages (in not one of which is it even al leged that the slightest personal injury was inflicted), it is probable the 7 biles will have anoth,r express to-morrow, received by the regular mail. I have looked over all of them, and they bear the certain impress of editcrial ma nufacture, a very small ingredient of truth being mixed up with a great deal of pure fiction. A brief description will suffice : " C.iptain Hellfire" (Captain Rock is dead, and hislieu tenants, like those of Alexander, have all become rulers on their own account), Captain Starlight, Captain SieAribs, and, stranger than all, Captain Nobody, are all stated by the Nenagh Guardian to have paid visits to different far mers' houses, to caution them either to give up or not to take certain lands ; but, with the exception ot some bla•ik shots, fired for fun by Captain Starlight's " ancient, Ser geant Flint," no overt act wai done, and not even an assault was committed. But as the following outrages in the list relate to the subject of the scarcity ot potatces, to which I alluded in commencing my letter, I shall extract them, with all the eloquent garnishing of the Nenagh Guardian:— " On the night of the 15th instant a body of men, some of whom were armed, tururd up nearly two acres of mea dow land of John Dillon, of Cloncannon, parish of Anna meadle. " A threatening notice was served by Captain Nobody on Michael M‘Namara, of Turnioyle, cautioning him not to pay more than et an acrefor potato land. " CAPTAIN Nononv.—Another Rockite captain has been appointed from Rock Lodge to watch over the inte rests of the locality of Castleotway and the country there abouts. The title of this new creation 15 Captain No body, and potato land seems to claim his first considera tion; for only a few nights ago he served a notice on John Harrington, of Castleo tway , t h reaten i ng hi m with a cruel death if he asked or took more than 71. an acre for potato land. A shot was discharged by way of a sample of Capt. Nobody's capabilities."—Correspondent of the chronicle.

LONDON HOSPITAL.-- At the anniversary dinner in support of this useful institution on Monday at the London Tavern, the Secretary read the report, which stated that the amount of subscriptions received last year had amounted to very nearly 13,0001. Amongst the sub scriptions announced for the present year was that of the Duke of Cambridge, 251., and followed by that were seve ral liberal subscriptions from members of the Jewish na tion. The entire amount of the subscription, though fall ing very far short of the amount subscribed last year, was still very considerable. The Duke of Cambridge was in the Chair. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CH R ONICL E.—lt is now little more than a twelve month since the Tories proposed in Parliament a formal vote of watt of confidence in the Melbourne Administra tion. The principal ground upon which that vote was urged was the supposed connection between Whiggism and Chartism. The MiniAcrial party were accused of touchline to demecratic agitatio n , i n o rder to purchase votes. We said 'at the time that the charge was untrue, and that the crime of tampering with men whose language and con duct proclaimed them the enemies o! all social order,might be imputed with much more justice to those who were re ecia ing on the hustings the support of the Oastlers and el'tei ',henna than to the Whig Government, whose policy had proved the greatest possible discouragement to the cause of revolution. The proceedings connected with Mr. Walt.e's canvass at Nottingham place this fact of the natural alliance between Toryism and Chartism in a mere striking light than ever. A scat becomes vacant in an important manufacturing town at a time when the temptation to purchase a single additional vote at any cost of character and consistency is too strong to be resisted. Accordingly a candidate is put fora ard, who, although his support would at any other time be indignantly rejected by any party calling itself Conservative, eppears the most likely to succeed in the grand tack of getting the Tories and Char tists of Nottingham to merge what the Times, with its ac customed delicacy, calls" their ordinary differences," for the purpose of striking a blow which shall be." felt in the recesses of Downing-street." Of Mr. Walter's qualifications as a Conservative candidate there can be little doubt, after the speeches of his supporters in the Conservative Hall at Nottingham, as reported in the Conservative papers of yesterday. According to the express testimony of one of the principal speakers, Mr. Sweet -:who describes himself as an " nneortipirami ing eisattlat7,4lt. IffAlcsieshas come down to Nottingham, sanc.ioned by noless an authority than that of Mr. Richard Oastler and Mr. Vincent. " I go," says the uncompromising Chartist, " by advice of my friend Mr. Oastler, my friend Mr. John Fieldea, my friend Mr. Pitkeitbly, and my friend Mr. Vincent, to sweep the Whigs from the face of the earth. I believe that if we succeed now in returning Mr. Weber for our representative, it will strike the death-blow of the Melbourne Administration." Really the difference be- tvreen the " uncompromising Chartist" and the " uncom promising Tory" is become too minute to be any longer distinguishable, and the advice of Messrs. Oastler and Vincent coincides to the very letter with that which we have been in the habit of hearing at Conservative dinners. Why Tories and Chartists should not coalesce when they have professedly the same prime object in view, namely, " the striking a death-blow at the Melbourne Adminis tration," we are at a loss to know. Whether the respec table Conservatives of Nottingham will enlist under the banners of Messrs. Oastler and Vincent, for the purpose, (to borrow once more the language of Mr. Writer's uncompromising Chartist supporter, "of showing to the world their detestation of the princi ples and the concoctors of the infamous and damnable Poor-law," remains to be seen. Perhaps, before doing so, they will ponder a little on the fact that the Duke of Wel lington, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, and all the most distinguished Parliamentary leaders of the Conservative party are, if not the concoctors, the pledged and avowed friends and supporters of this " infamous and damnable" law, and of the principles upon which it is based. They will consider, perhaps, that great as may be the value of a vote on party grounds, it may be put chased too dearly by the loss of character to the Conservative party, and by the palpable encouragement to the re volutionary designs of Chartist demagogues, involved in the return of such a candidate as Mr. Walter on such grounds as those proclaimed to the world by his most ac tive supporters. One good at least must result from this election, however it may terminate; it will test the sin cerity cf the Conservative leaders in Parliament, who have over and over again expressed, in the strongest terms, their adherence to the principles of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and their abhorrence and de testation of such language as is now used to forward the success of Mr. Walter. If after the meeting at the Con. servative Hall, at Nottingham, the Conservatives of that town do as a body support Mr. Walter, it mutt be mani fest to every one that the Tories are willing to do what they falsely imputed to the Whigs, viz., to purchase place by coquetting with revolution. POST.—Our readers may imagine iha insanity of pre :Lidice which actuates the advocates of a repeal of the Corr-laws when we tell them that these philosophical gentry can see no difference, as respects the prosperity of this country, between an abundant supply of corn from our own soil and an abundant supply from foreign countries. 'Tis all the same, they cry, " the manufac turers and shopkeepers, and the whole inhabitants of towns, would feel the benefit precisely the same." We do not at all admit this ; but, supposing it true, is it fair to consider only manufacturers, and shopkeepers, and inhabitants of towns? Grant that it is the same thing to the manufecestreeses,hee.44 the produce of his capital and industry be exchange corn-grower of Hungary or cf Hertfordshire, surely it is not the same thing to the English corn-growers? And, as it happens that the annual produce of land in the United Kingdom exceeds in value the produce of manufacturing industry by no less a sum than one hundred millions sterling, it is, without a doubt, as important a national concern to look after the interest of the corn-growers as that of the manufacturers. It is easy to speak in glowing terms of the blessings of abundant and cheap corn, but if we consider that the process by which corn is to be made abundant and cheap would deprive one half of the population of the means of purchasing corn, what would avail the abundance or the cheapness to them? Would the manufacturers or the importing merchants give away the cheap foreign corn for nothing to the English I agriculturists who would be thrown out of work ? No ; that is not their principle. They would rather sell their skeletons to foreign bone-fanciers, if they could make a commission per tentage on the sale. Great, indeed, is the advantage of abundance of corn, when in every way it touches upon the condition of our own people—when our farmers who raise it have not only enough, but to spare, and can expend the surplus in the purchase of com forts which the manufacturers prepare. But it is absurdity, and more than absurdity—it is mare insanity—to com pare with this state of things an abundance which by the force of competition would drive our farmers out of our own markets, and leave them without any remunera tion for their labour. The inhabitants of some manufac turiag towns might not feel the difference, but is it not perfectly clear that, whe-eas in the one case the country is made happy, in the other case it would be made mi serable ? Nor is it in the least probable that upon the whale the manufacturers would derive any benefit from abundance of foreign corn, f or su pp os i ng th e f ore i gn mar ket to take off a hundred millions' worth in the year more than it does at present (that is to increase threefold, which is an extravagant supposition), still that would not more than compen, ate for the loss of the home market for ma.. nu`-eturcs. And if the landed and agricultural interest were ruined, assuredly that home market would be ruined also. TIMES. —We adverted last week to a feature in the policy of the present Administration, which is rapidly be coming more apparent and more di'gusting. We allude to their systematic and total disregard of all those ques tions which former Governments, of whatever shades of politics, would have felt it their duty to endeavour to settle, simply because their want of settlement led to dissensions and disorders among the people, and thereby proved and rendered manifest the deficiencies of the existing law. The marked and studied contempt with which all such matters are now passed by, in a great measure warrants the opinion, which is rapidly increasing, that the Melbourne Cabinet looks with pleasure on these dissensions, and would by no means desire to end them, inasmuch as they tend "to keep the people occupied," and thus to withdraw their attention from the weaknesses and blunders of the Government. A variety of cases cf this kind might be specified; but we will only instance two or three. Nothing can be more lamentable than the state of affairs in Scotland. The civil and ecclesiastical courts are there approaching to utter defiance of each other. Se veral leading ecclesiastics have, for months past, braved the strongest threats of the Court of Session • and a very short time more may see a fearful flame lighted up, the quenching of which might be synonymous with the extinc tion of the existieg church establishment. Never was there a case in which it was mere evidently incumbent on a Gcvernment at least to attempt something in mitiga tion, if not in removal, of those prodigious perils. But the Prime Minister, when asked with great anxiety by his brother Peers what his intentions are in this matter, carelessly replies, with more than his customary non chalance, that he really has no intentions whatever ! In England the law of Church -rates, though not fraught with one-half of the perils which threaten the Scottish Establishment, still works fur both hurchinan and Dissenter by its various obscurities, ndless trouble, litigation, acrd heart-burnings. In 1831 Lord John Russell and his colleagues introduced into Parliament a measure for the settlement of this ques tion, which was generally accepted by Ch urc h men, and only opposed by Messrs. 'Hume and Hawes and the Dis senting Radicals. Why has this Bill never been again brought forward ? Ministers could pass it, or something amounting to the same thing, this very Session if they chose. But they " have re) intention "of even attempt ing And why not? Chiefly, we fear, because it is supposed to answer their party purposes better to leave r C a s b s u i I r l e g h m e a a e n h an o d the D r, issenter, finding full occupat i on i n h a _ the que s ti o n still in dispute and doubt, s o th a t b o th might have no leisure to quarrel with the imbecility of the Government. HERALD.—We have allowed the County Courts Bill an interval of repose. It is now several weeks since we disturbed the parental solicitude of Mr. Fox Maule by ruddy exposing to public view the misshapen proportions and rieketty deformities of this precious bantling of his logo-legislative genius. Gently did the mild spirit of a temporising Conservatism conceal its defects. Silent was that excessive charity which occupies the seats of Opposition, and which, rather than disturb the quirt of the House of Commons, can look on while all our most valued institutions are crumbling away beneath the tinkering of the clumsiest workmen, and most ruthless destroyers in the world. Nay, even flowers were strewed by some so - called Conservative hands upon the cradle wher e Mr. Fox Maule's darling, fresh from the Home-office nursery of little monsters, awaited the magic touch of the Parliamentary wand that was to send. it forth a full- g rown and g ig a ntic evil on th e coun t r y. We trust that before that time comes, we shall have consigned it to that state in which it will be only fit to bo preserved in t pints, and deposited among the dusty lumber of some mu seum of ugly curiosities. We have spoken of having diSe turbed the parental solicitude of Mr. F. Maule, but we forgot ourselves, Mr. F. Maule "never reads the Morning Herald," and so he remains in happy ignorance of what we have said of his Bill for converting justice into an itinerant pedlar, seeking custom by the exhitition of the " cheapest" and worst of wares—wares cheap at no price, and dear at any price. If cheapness—that is an apparent cheapness—is the great consideration in the administration of law and justice, why not begin with the Courts in Westminster Hall, and by applying the reduced scare of costs to litiga tion there, give the public some chance of getting the genuine article as well as the cheap one ? If the principle of Mr. Fox Maule's Bill be gouts, it is as applicable to the Court of Queen's Bench, or Common Pleas, or Ex chequer, or to the three Courts of Equity, as to any County Court in the kingdom. GLOBE.—The Times assures us that Mr. Walter never was a party man ; and the Standard, that be is in dependent of Whig and Tory. To a c(rtain extent this is correct. Though receiving support from the party to which for the time he affected to belong, we arc not aware that he was ever countenanced by the leading men of any. Each was glad of his vote—neither cared for his com pany. To the world he seems to hays made many doubiings in his pursuit of the phantom popularity; but these, perhaps, are imperceptible to the Times, which bas accompanied his changes, on the same principle that to aeronauts the earth appears to move, and the balloon to remain stationary. In that branch of jusenile literature which is fast gcing extinct, is a continuation of the story of " Jack and Gill," recording, amonz other things, how Jack was apprenticed to a blaeksmi.h, and undertook to forge a ploughshare, but having hammered away the iron till it would not do for that, he resolved to make a spade. The like iesult attended his labours, so be went on to a horse-shoe, and finally to a nail, with equal success. Find ing that ton much for his skill, he exclaimed— "l know this, If it won't make a nail it will make a good hiss, So into the water he threw the iron smack, Hiss,' quoth the iron. I thought so !' said Jack." In like manner Mr. Walter Las tried to make something of himself, and has always failed. He sat in the first re formed Parliament as" Whig and more,"—in the second as a Tory. Then, as he says in his pamphlet, " seeing that no good was to he cape cted there, lie quitted that scene "—.hick is a delicate way of expressing his retreat from Berkshire, when there was no chance of his re-elec- tion. He does not say whether inability to do any good in other scenes made him seek the old one as Tory and anti- Polr law candidate fur Southwark; but having failed again there—having Nile! as a poor man's magistrate, and broken down at the Crown and Anchor as an agitator—he is come to the nail at last as Charto-Tory candidate for Nottingham. STANDARD.—The advocates of the harsh provi siohs, and harsher administration, of the New Poor-law are sorely pressed to make out a case, when they pretend that relief to such as can partially support themselves is an injury to those cf the labouring community who are in a condition to maintain their families without parochial relief. The attempted sophistry scarcely demands expo sure. The poor arc a class, every member of which may, by the will of Divine Providence, be placed in a condition disabling him from supporting him self and his family without some help. Now let it be said whether the class is more .kindly treated by insuring that each shall, without the necesAty of incurring pain or de gradation, be insured a living ii willing to work for it ac cording to his ability, or enacting that the least abatement from the average capacity to labour, whether caused by old age, accident, disease, or any bereavement, must con sign him to an ignominious imprisonment as the alternative of dying of famine ? The labouring classes have indeed answered the question for themselves; they have de clared their willingness to encounter the competition of the aged and infirm of their number, as the in surance that in their own old age and infirmity they shall net, while any strength remains, be condemned to the mercies of the union workhouse. The hypocrisy of this affected anxiety fur the interests of the labouring poor is, however, equally transparent with its folly. ISO they who arc so anxious to protect the labourer from the com petition of his eged fAber or infirm brother, show an equal anxiety to protect him in the rathei; more formidable con test with capital and machinery? No; upon this point we hear nothing from them. They will weep over the losses of an errand-boy, whom a few shillings a week allowed to an aged pauper puts out of employment, but they have no feelings of compassion for a thousand labourers throln out of the means of maintaining themselves by steam-engines or power-looms, or by laying under grass vast districts of tillage-laud. Such is their consistency 1 COURIER.—It is really edifying to find one of the Ministerial prints degenerating so much into the suaviter in modo, on occasion of an anti-Cern-law meeting in Man chester, where the clergy formed one of the usual staples of vituperation, as to observe only, that " we were sorry to hear the chairman at the Manchester meeting, Mr. J. B. Smith, state, that they had met with . much opposition from their opponents, and those, too, were men from whom they might have expected better things, the clergy.' This cannot fail to diminish the utility of the clergy, because such conduct is utterly at variance with religion." The lament over the diminished " utility" of the clergy is a novel feature in the political career of the sectarian, or rather nothingarian, journalist, and would seem to smack so much of the grace of repentance for past evil anti clerical and anti-religious courses, that we would gladly re frain from disturbing one in apparently so promising a frame of mind, could we really believa as much in the endurance as we do little in its sincerity. That Mr. J. B. Smith, or any person else of that stamp and station, should seize every occasion to vituperate the Church and the clergy, will excite the less surprise when it is taken into account that the accuser is himself an off-shoot of a sectarian tribe, and even closely connected with a priestly family in it, and a tribe usually remarked as the most sour, supercilious, and intolerant of all sects since the days of the Pharisees, more especially when dominant, as in the days of the Long Par liament, Praise God Barebones and Oliver Cromwell. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—There was but little passing in this part of the town to-day to attract attention. Money continuessufficiently easy for all the purposes of trade, and Equally, or even more so, at the Stock Exchange. It is evident, however, that the late intelligence from China has affected the credit, in a greater or less degree, not only of houses known to have been speculating in the tea market, but that of others also who ar3 supposed to be im plicated, though less directly, perhaps, in the losses that will bo eventually realised by the leaf. Yet it is considered that many persons who have not, in the ordinary way of business, any dealings in this branch of commerce, may have been induced, by the pecu liar state of the trade, and the great prospect there seemed at one moment to be of difficulties of some duration with the ChincEe, to participate in it to a considerable extent. A general dulness pervades the produce markets, and it is upon this assumption that the circumstance is accounted for by the best informed people connected with it. The funds, in the interval, maintain the advance lately reported with much steadiness. _ _ The packet arrived at Falmouth from Lisbon does not appear to have brought any news of importance. At all events, there is nothing in what has transpired that ca I be considered favourable to the interests of the bondholders. These was a prospect of the new commercial treaty with England being at length concluded, and if the bases of it prove to be what they are pretty generally understood to be, Lord Palmerston seems to be in a fair way to be out manoeuvred by the crafty and unscruplous Lusitanians ; but the Exchequer was in the same impoverished condition as heretofore. Not a milrcis was to be tound for the cut rent expenditure of the Government, otherwise than through the medium of the old usurious process, to which it has been the practice to resort when a crisis has arisen to countenance the proceeding. The bonds here have, never theless, advanced a trifle to-day. A SABBATH-DAY SCENE. (From the Morning Chronicle.) EARL OF CARDIGAN.

ARREST OF ALDERMAN PERRIN.—A letter received by the Caledonia steamer states that Alderman Perrin, on the very day of his landing in New York, had teen arrested in a coffee-house upon a civil bill process, at the suit of Mr. Hunt, merchant, of this city. Hav ing given bail, however, he was at once set at liberty.

The pious and patriotic Duke of Victory has just termi nated his devotions at the different churches from his own head-quarters at the extremity of the Calle Alcala, to the termination of the Calle 3layor, in the very neighbourhood of the Royal Palace. Tho military pilgrim was accom panied, or rather followed (for he walked alone at the head of his attendants), in his penitential promenade by the most numerous and gaudily-equipped staff that ever fol lowed at the heels of a General-in-Chief; presenting in their personal appearance a strange contrast to the humility of spirit and self-denial which might characterise those who celebrate the return of this holy season. As for the hero of Bergara himself, he was arrayed in all the gor geousness of military finery. Nothing was forgotten or neglected which could serve to mark him out particularly from the crowd of the obsequious attendants that followed him. Embroidery of the richest arid most massive kind, stars and orders of the most dazzling brilliancy, scarfs and ribbons of every hue and colour, were lavished with profu sion over the person and uniform of this wonderfully fortu nate and very vain man. As he went along he entered every church on his way, and remained a few minutes in each, km cling before the altar ; and having completed his hasty devotions, proceeded with the same ceremony, still on foot, to the next. Any notice of this pilgrimage of Espartero would scarcely possess public interest, were it not for the (to me convincing) proof of the truth of the observations which I have made of the state of public feeling as regards him in most of the principal towns, both in the Basque Pro vinces, and in Castile, even to this the capital of the Spanish monarchy. Whatever doubts I may, in the anxiety to form a correct judgment have entertained, as to the exact nature of my views, were almost totally dispelled by the display of this evening. You arc, perhaps, aware that the portion of this city which was chosen by Espartero for the scene of his devotional exhibition traverses the centre of Madrid, and i ncludes in its inhabit ants and its frequenters, not only every class of politicians, but every grade of society which can be found here. In that part of the Alcala and the Plaza de las Cortes which approaches the Prado, may be found the mansions of some of the highest of the Spanish nobility ; the vicinity of the Palace at the other and opposite end is not less important, nor, generally speaking, less aristocratic, whilst the space which lies between these extreme points is occupied by those classes, of various callings and different avocations, which crowd the most populous thoroughfares in a large city, and which are diversified at every step until they become blended into one heterogeneous mass in that great central spot, around, which constantly congregate the aristocrat and the republican, the merchant and the water-carrier, the capitalist and the mendicant, the military man and the civilian, the em pleado and the pretendienfo, the honest man and the rogue, the moderado and exaltado, the Carlist and the republican, the dupe and the swindler, he who is occupied, and he who starves on in idleness—l mean the Puerta del Sol. The part of the city thus selected could not have been better 1 chosen to test the present popularity of the dictator of Spain. It presented the best ordeal to try the nature of his political reputation. I followed this man from church to church, as he proceeded on his way, and I marked his eye as it sought, with a sort of convulsive eagerness which the anticipation of success imparts, the salutations and welcome of the crowd, such as it was, that surrounded and followed him ; and I saw it droop in disappointment at the absence of any one of those de monstrations of unthinking and hollow popular clamour which, for a space, hail the presence of a mob favourite ; and I marked his hand as it fell by his side after having been vainly raised to return the courtesy which he expected, but which lie did not receive• Not a single " Viva" was raised even as he passed the Custom-house or the Post office, whose hangers on crowded the windows and gates as he passed. Out of every 100 persons that crowded the streets, not more than five appeared to accord him even the com mon civility which may be snpposed to be due to his mili tary as welt as civil rank. The guard at the two establish ments I have mentioned turned out, as a matter of course, to present arms to the Captain-General of the Spanish armies; but it appeared to be done coldly, mid as a mere matter of ceremonious etiquette, and not a spark of enthusiasm was lighted up in the countenance of the National Guards, those terrible urbanos, formidable when there is no enemy to contend with, as the former god of their idolatry ert on his pilgrimage. A crowd of about 200 persons was assembled at his door previously to his leaving his quarters ; it was composed of the very lowest classes, and of boys who were attracted by the splendour of the uni forms and the plumes; but even amongst those who are in every country the most susceptible of being imposed on by the pomp of military display, he was received, not only without enthusiasm, but even without the slightest demonstration of respect. The crowds collected in the different places through which he passed were not caused by his appearance, but by the acts of devotion which are performed during this season, and which render it necessary to visit every church in Madrid. As Espartero ascended the steps of the second church in the Calle Alcala, so great was the crowd coming out and going in, that be was compelled to remain outside a con siderable time, and was at length obliged to go away without having effected an entrance. Do not suppose that the crowd retired or yielded to let him press ; he and his staff were elbowed and pushed about as if they were not dressed in splendid uniform, or es if he had never in duced Maroto to become a traitor. His annoyance at this disrespect was visible, and it was said that, in a moment of impatience, he was determined to return to his quarters without proceeding further. In this, however, he was overruled. _ Do you suppose that his presence produced any sensa tion amongst the scum of Madrid society, which haunt, like untroubled spirits, the Puerta del Sol ? Quite the contrary ; not a man, ragged and wretched though his appearance may hare been, ever stirred from the spot he was standing in, to make way for the hero of Her gara. A rather ominous occurrence was taking place even at the moment the Duke of Victory was passing that universal resting-place of idlers and pickpockets. The workmen had, an hour or two previously, commenced their labours, in taking down the pillar, or column, or monu ment, formed of canvass and sticks, which had been constructed in the centre of the Puerta del Sol, to cele brate his arrival in Madrid, and which for some time past has manifested symptoms of falling. The un solid and very fragile structure has suffered severely; the canvass, which was coloured so a 3 to present an imitation of granite, has been long torn and shattered in various parts, and exhibits to the lazy and laughing crowds which throng around its base the hollowness and weakness of the deception ; and the linen robe which covers the person of the figure of Fame, which surmounts it, has been rent, before and behind, and has for some time afforded material for the exercise of the wit and causticity of the unwashed politicians of the Puerta del Sol. Might not this monument present a not inapt illustration of the character and reputation of this new ornament to the an cient and honourable Order of the Bath ? In the various towns through which I have lately passed, and in which I have sojourned for a space, more or less, during a recent journey from San Sebastian to Madrid, I was struck by the almost universal feeling of disrespect with which Espartero's n a me w as generally spoken by persons of almost eve r y c l ass, inc luding many military more ro a en preserve, dif f icult u l a position vheis popularity, witnessed than E variousipsaanrdt erhave isa vaeetffaot also s t io s s og h m rh is ill success and his consequent disappoint ment;o d I am convinced of the f ac t t h at no man was here, not only this day , but on many previous occasions, evertnawino moment. e n mn a e ei catch, n c n f s h ed t a , h . an His reviews to celebrate the anniversary of his victories (?) in imitation of Napoleon—his addresses to the troop►—his walking simply arrayed, or gorgeously decorated, with his wife, amongst the crowds that throng the Prado, appa rently unpretending, and on foot like the rest, seem all unavailing. Discontent and murmurs arc heard every where; and in these public displays of pretended humility, scarcely a hat is raised to salute him, and certainly not a voice is heard to give him welcome. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, APRIL 11.—Within a very short period political and moral alterations of far more seriJus impor tance than is generally believed, have taken place in this country. The most remarkable changes have occurred within the last ten years. In Holland every thing was upheld by old King William—everything has been shaken by his removal from the political scene. The confidence of the public mind has given way to uneasiness. Nevertheless the constitutional opposition wo uld meet with great adhesion were it not suspected of Catholicism, fur, unfortunately, intolerance runs high in Holland, and the greater part of the Protestants in this country arc inclined to consider as Catholics all who are unjust towards them. The Catholic population forms two-fifths of the whole pc). I pulation of the kingdom ; but this proportion is but nominal, ‘s as the Protestant population i s far more powerful b y i, wition. With the exceptionofNoaritmwt emirhßrabaiit ti: of at - id Limburg, frontier provi nces, c onsisting Catholics, the wealth and functions belong princi; I°lY to the Protestants, so th at the liberal constitutional o p . . p ot osition, although eminently aristocratic, receives but littl su from the Catholic s, who in their opposition seek e ppr Catholic views.

There is no information afforded of the mis sing steamer, the President, by her. By the latest ac counts we find that General Harrison continued indisposed, but was decidedly better than he had been. The following is- from the Morning Courier of the Ist instant, on " the Financial State of the Country t"— There is no one fact so universally admioed by all pasties and every cl,ss of politicians, end by those too who eschew politics in every shape, as the absolute necessity of an interference by the general Government to pre<erve the credit of the Soar. It has now become apparent to every body, that we are on the eve of a crisis in regard to State credit and the honour of the country, which must be met by the repre,entrtives of the people in Congress assembled, at the approt.&.iog extra session. " Politicians, and public men generally, are very apt to postpone the consideration of impovant questions as long as it is possible to do so, and very frequently avow their determinations to oppose certain ro2a.aures, simply from a belief that they will never he brought to test the truth of their declarations. And sue!, is precisely the case with hundreds of prominent ioen in the United S:ates in regard to the question of ' loaning to the States the credit of the general Government,' as it is called, but more properly speaking—the people determining to use their joint credit for their joint benefit. " The constitutionality of loaning money to or depositing it with tile States had already bLea definitely settled; nod so has the question of dividing among the States the pro ceeds of the public lands." The article continues on the subject of Mr. Cley's Land Bill." An abstract of the Bill for the relief of the banks, which has passed both Hou:es of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and is now before the G.;vernor for his signature, is re ceived by this vessel. Considerable doubts rested upon the question as to whether or not he would sign it ; public opinion varied considerably on the question. Sec. 1.

The canvass of the candidates for the representation of the town of Nottingham in Parliament, is proceeding with great rapidity, both parties meeting with great support, but Mr. Lament realizing decidedly the most numerous promises. He is a men well fitted to canvass a large con stituency, being of most obliging address ar,d manners, and has been every where received with kind congratulations and cordial greetiogs. After the meeting on Thursday evening, which was noticed in The Sun of Saturday, the work commenced in earnest. On Friday morning Mr. Walter arrived, and a bill was immediately issued, stating that he would address the electors that evening at six o'clock. At that hour, a very large number of the Conservative party assembled in the Conservative Hall, Low Pavernent. FRANCIS HARDWICKE, Esq., was called to the Chaie. He introduced Mr. Walter to the meeting (which, ali t:wog-1r very latge, consisted principally of Chartists without votes. ) The gallery where Mr. Walter was statioued presented the strange anomaly of Chartiate, Radical', and Tortee, all mingled together, and determined to aid in the return of Mr. Waiter, solely through a factious spaal'aof op position to the present Government, and a sett-stylca ".11a trod to the new Poor-law." Mr. WALTER addressed the meeting at great length, declaring his uncompromising enmity and hatred U.) the New Poor-law, and the Rural Palice. In his opinion: it was those two measures alone that produced Chartism, and military law would come next—(Cheers)—for what ever might be done, the people of this country could not, and would not, be driven from their once respectable stwion, down, and down, and down into slaves again. (Continued cheers.) He had found no chance of doing asy good when he was in the House, for all patties were so hot in f Naar of the measure; he therefore retired to hus band his forces for a fitter time. That time had at lark: come, and there he was at their ievitation, because ho felt that if he was returned to Parliament he should be able to act with efict as their representative.—( Loud cheers.) What acted much in his favour, also, was his declaring himself nut only an Anti-Cora-law Repealer by expressions, but that he had already voted for the alailitiora of those laws. Ile also declared himself a stern opponent of all inclosures of land, which, he said, ruined the poor to increase the wealth of the rich. He had, while in Par liament, been the main instrument of turning out many of these Bills. He dwelt mostly upon the New Poor law Bill, which he described as base and bad as the hearts of those who conceived it. Several of the most noted Chartists and Radicals, who have al ways been the hottest in tloir opposition to the Tories, then spoke in favour of Mr. Walter, exhorting all their friends to vote fir him as the friend of the poorer classes in being the opponent of the Poor-law. Their maio reason for doing so was that th e y might get the Govern ment out, and then at a general election return one of their own Chartist body. This is an utter impossibility, and therefore, for a mere visionary scheme, they would reject a Radical, who would do them much good, for a Tory who will cut their throats the moment lie gets in. In the. end the meeting agreed to support Mr. Walter, and he com menced his canvass on Saturday morning, an d h as con tinued it up to the present time. A letter has been published from Mr. Pitkeithley, a rank Chartist, exhorting the people to support Mr. Walter, and also from Messrs. Oastler and Fielden, exhorting them to " la against the new Poor-law, and let that measure, not politics, decide their votes. Yesterday evening (Monday ) Mr. Pitkeithly addressed a great number of persons--:ll nor.-:lectors —on the importance of their endeavouring to obtain the suffrage, and that they should do their utmost by supporting Mr. Walter, in the %corking. department, to get him returned. Hosts of squibs, s ongs , extracts from the weathercock Times, Cc. , ar, continually pouring from the press. Money µill flow in thousands, but in spite of all coercion, bribery, and base coalition, there is no doubt of Mr. Larpent being returnee'. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. On Monday we visited this Lyceum of the East, and were well pleased to find the elegant little theatre well filled in every part, and the boxes presenting a most fashionable appearance. 'the performances commenced with a new melo-drama, called Las de Castro, which, although not founded on the tragic story of the celebrated Inez, was as interesting as such things usually are, and was made sufficiently entertaining by the aid of good scenery, the broadsword combats of Coney and Blanchard, fascinating archness and vivacity of Mrs. Honey, in sundry disguises and perilou: adventures, together with the very good farce f , c d o r tuuntk jester. b b The p n i d e e t eh is an h the first d miques tionable hit, although it belongs to a school which criticism has long since overlooked. It was very much applauded li o t f tl i e l "" . l lD o u ss n,n as asaa throughout, and especially the parts in which Ross, Mrs. Honey, and Dunn, were prominent. The burlettaof Woman's the Devil was next presented, being time this season. When we say that Mrs. Hone tained, her favourite part of Lady Brilliant, it is y sus. to add thai , the burletta vas received from b needless to end with bount!less laughter and applause. The beginning entertain ment concluded with The Emperor Napoleon ; or, The De sertcr and his Dog , in which Mr. Bennet, a s Napoleon, Mr. Blanchard, as the Deserter (with his fine dog Hector), and .Miss A lvery on t ag ue, as Therese, received liberal and merited app l a use. Ross, as the Polish and discarded lover, excited v ery great laughter, by giving a good deal of breadth and force to a very meagre and insignificant part.
