OCTOBER 17, 1842. The Morning Post, in throwing doubts on some observations on the effects of railways in diminishing the general prosperity of the coun try, has some judicious remarks on the change ra ther than the lessening of employment, by the use of new contrivances, which we should wish that journal always to remember. Speaking. Of such places es Hounslow and Barnet, our Con- teal pbrary says— But . we must demur to the soundness of the. con clusion that these " deserted villages" are the cause ofthe general distress, since they no doubt. produce much activity in other quarters, and the difference between the large sums they receive, and the diviL: dends paid to shareholders, must go into the pockets of working people of some kind or another, and thence to the purchase of such commodities as these people consume. There is, however, much reason to doubt that the innkeeping business has at all kept pace with the increase of travelling in England. The railroads enable people to do without the accommoda tion of inns. Formerly, if a man were coming up from Liverpool, or Manchester, or York, to transact business in London, he would probably spend a couple of pounds by the way, going and returning, at the roadside inns. Now he gets from his own home to London, or from London to his own home, without spending more than a shilling in some luncheon-pa. lace on the railway line. But if he does not eat at the inns he eats at home. True; but then he pays only what the thing costs, whereas at the inn he " distributed" about three or four times the :cost of the viands. There may be something in this. The railroads, while they pay ten per cent. to rich people, who embarked capital in them, cut away many of the profits of the poorer sort. . The same doctrine, of course, applies to all kinds of machinery, all the extra profit made by which will certainly be invested in some kind of new production or other, and find its way into the pockets of some class of working people. " Money-making men," says the Editor of the Streggie,published in the heart of the manufactur ing districts, and well acquainted with the habits of capitalists, " never accumulate; that is to say, they never lay it by, for as it respects the actual possession of cash, they are often amongst the barest. They either sink it in trade, or place it in the bank, whence it is lent on interest to others who are short of capital. In either case it is used in such a mariner as to find employ ment." What master manufacturers gain, there fore, by improved machinery, and by cheapening production, they inunediately put out to use, and the greater their gains the greater is the sum which they so putout; the greater of course, also, is the demand by capital for labour, and the more the labourers are benefited. That is a clear and plain deduction from the admission of the Post, and we hope that our Contemporary will not again accuse machinery of lowering wages, or cheap production of injuring the labourer. Having thus entered the Post on a right track by its own impetus, we proceed to notice, which is our chief object in making the quotation, the beneficial change in morals and in employment which our Contemporary proves to be the conse quence of railway travelling. Sojourning in inns has long been felt to be a great discomfort to domestic men, and has been long stigmatised as unfavourable to morality by religious teachers. Railways, in a great measure, enable travellers to dispense with inns. They pass from their h om e to the other extremity of the island in a few hours, and rarely, or never, have occasion to stop at an inn by ,the way. The old system of travellers drinking every half-dozen miles is quite at an end; if thereby innkeepers have suffered, many homes, we believe, have been made hap pier, ned much money saved from taverns has been spent in a more beneficial manner. The change which that indicates in employ ment k not undeserving of notice. Traveller s stopping at inns spend considerable sums of money on waiters, boots, aild chambermaids, persons whose occupations, however respectable the individuals, require no great degree of talent or skill. So the use of stage coaches gave em ployment at every coach and posting-bonze to a considerable number of ostlers, groom s, stable loungers helps, riding b o y s , about the tap, half mendicants, half labourers, ready for any kind of job—to ride a spare horse, to carry a parcel, to run with a letter; - to deliver a message—a great • bod 7 of persons who were never trained to any continuous patient - toil, and were amongst t h e least s skilful and the least elevated Of the commu nity. At least it is consistent with all our early impressions to believe that the multitudes who collected about coaching inns were, next to poachers, perhaps the least creditable portion (:). the rural community. Railways have nearly Put an end to their occupation, and must tend tol lessen, if not to extinguish, such classes of men. We are by no means of opinion that rail ways have caused any great diminution of employment for horses and coaches, for where one long stage before plied there are now a great number of short stages, of cabs and omnibuses. Little or no employ ment actually depending on the rearing and maintaining horses has been lost. Some of the persons connected with the long stages have become omnibus and cab drivers, and probably, by being dispersed, have. improvedin character and station. So far as the servants of inns have been superseded by porters and servants con nected with railways, the change is advantageous, for the discipline maintained amongst the latter makes them in general quite models of propriety. They live not in public-houses, and do not, as the rule, pass their spare hours in drinking and smoking. Policemen on the railway line must be watchful and steady, or they cannot retain their situations. Next come the guards and conduc tors, who are continually under inspection, and must be, at the least, as careful and steady as the guard's of coaches. Great as is the skill of a coachman, and many of them were, latterly, most respectable, steady men, it cannot be compared, we think, to the skill of the engineer, who has superseded the coachman. We know of no class of labourers connected with coaching to be compared to the stokers, who are always occupied during their working hours ; or to the smiths, who make and repair the stupendous machines, that are at once horses and carriages, and give motion to time whole mile long trains. A a great many more carriages are required for railways than for com mon roads, and the use of the former has not diminished the employment of coach builders and coach smiths. The principal and most noted change of em ployment is the substitution of the thousand in telligent and tolerably well educated mechanics who contribute to the perfection of a railroad, fir the stable boys and idlers who congregated about great coach houses and great posting houses. The mechanics live in a comparatively cultivated and informed society, and we could, if it were worth while, quote Lord BROUGHAM'S authority for their being some of the most enlightened and best behaved persons in the community. Such a change in employment is every way ad vantageous. It is a type of those changes which are going on in every part of society—which would go on more rapidly were politicians to in terfere less—and of which the gist and principle is to substitute skilful machinery, the produce of the mind of man, fbr untutored animal power. No persons have a higher opinion, we believe, of railways, than ourselves. Great as is the celerity, the ease, certainty, safety, and convenience of railway travelling, are quite as surprising ; yet we venture to doubt whether their moral benefits, substituting home for inns, and intelligent me chanics for the loungers of the tap and the stable-yard, be not quite as great as their phy sical advantages. We made a-few observations, in the course of last week, on the law of nations in reference to the free navigation of rivers; and we then laid down the principle that the interest of the people governed is the basis of all the rights of every Government. A larger or more comprehensive principle can scarcely be desired or conceived, for it concedes to every nation everything which is for its benefit. According to our view of free trade, which is every day, we believe, becoming more prevalent, all the new tariffs enacted in England, France, Germany, the United States, Ste., are proofs that these nations are not really aware of what commercial regulations and laws are .for their benefit. At least great disputes pre vail here as to our own tariff, as they prevail in America as to its tariff, and France, England, and America, will all, probably, join in condemning the tariff of the Zoll Verein. But if nations are not. yet well aware what laws and regulations will promote their own interest, if that interest is the basis of all the rights of Governments, and of all international law, it follows, that as nations become enlightened as to their own true interest, the rights and duties of their Governments must be changed, and the international law must be also changed. On this principle, we are averse from pinning our faith to the dicta of GROTIUS or VATTEL, or Herr Von MASTERS, 011 the rights of Governments concerning rivers; particularly when those assumed rights extend to interdict or control commerce, with which Governments have properly nothing whatever to do. The necessity of occasionally revising and changing international law, seems, in fact, established by the frequent changes that have been made in the customs of Europe. It was formerly contended that a nation might do with the rivers which pass through it as it liked; but that was at length found to be wholly untenable, and, at the Congress of Vienna, it was declared that the navigation of all rivers which form the boundaries. of States, or pass through several States, " shall be entirely free, from the points where they become navigable to their em brouchures, and that no one who conforms to the police arrangement, shall be debarred the privi lege of navigating them for commercial pur poses." It was further declared, that " duties ex acted shall be regulated with a view to encourage commerce and facilitate navigation." That was a great change on the old principle, that every State might do what it likes with the rivers which pass through it, and shows conclusively, we think, that we must not rely on ancient authorities to inform us what ought to be the laws of nations. It is well observed by the Spectator, from which we copy this brief notice of the treaty of Vienna, that by Lord ASHBURTON'S treaty so much is not conceded to the United States as England would have been bound to concede to any other Power a party with her to the treaty of Vienna. St. John's is a boundary river, and the Americans may justly daiM to have as free use of it as the inhabitants of New Brunswick, for " commercial purposes." " Th e p r iyil ege, ,, says the Spectator, " conferred upon American produce is in reality a boon to the New Bruns wick ers." There never wasa more idl e cry than that attempted to be raised against Lord ASHBURTON for conceding this privilege to the Americans without exacting some favour in return, unless men are to insist upon being paid for serving themselves." The last words put the right on its true basis. It is the interest of New Brunswick and of England that the right should exist ; and those persons who would have the Government claim a power to prevent the exercise of this right by the Americans, require it to take upon itself the power to injure its own people. Both the theory we have laid down, and the practice of the Congress of Vienna, seem to us to establish the great principle, that the benefit of the people is the basis of the rights of every Go vernment, and, of course, of all international law. But as what promotes the benefit of nations is yet only darkly known, it is the duty of intelli gent and enlightened nations, like the English and Americans, and the intelligent and enlightened journalists who bold the pen for them, to study what will promote the benefit of, nations, and to make the rights of Government and interna tional law conform thereto, instead of seeking in the pages of writers what were the customs of Sovereigns in less enlightened times than the present, and endeavouring to keep our usages in conformity to their barbarous practices. Let us, for example, apply this doctrine to our own right of search for British seamen. It is utterly im possible that it can be for the benefit of the people of England to impress the seamen ; it is not, therefore, fur the national benefit to seek to retain a power over them fur ever ; it is not, con sequently, q ue tl American fo Vessels r our advantage to insist on search for English seamen, and the claim to search, them ought at once to be gracefully resigned, so that another source of contention between these two great nations may be dried up for ever and ever. The Tories say that the rate of wages rises and falls with the price of provisions. Suppose it true, let us see what follows. The Tories have passed a tariff; the object of which is to lower prices; but as; the rate of wages will be reduced in proportion, the working classes will get ncr benefit from it. That tariff principally affects meat and things which are as the rule now beyond the reach of the labouring classes. It lowers prices, therefbre, to the opulent, whom the Tories pretend not to benefit. The persons who will chiefly benefit by this reduction of prices are those who have nothing to sell but money, who possess an annuity. In fact, the Tory mea sures, according to the Tory doctrine, will benefit the money classes at the expense of the pro ducers, and not benefit the labourers. So their policy, on their own theory, accords not with their professions. If they are not errant political swindlers, they are the most ignorant men that I ever attempted to govern a State. ~.1 c - - ..? t , 3 ;,. - i • i-• 11 .41.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper, Bart., joined the Royal dinner circle in the evening. General Sir Robert Wilson, Governor of Gibraltar, attended at the Colonial-office on Saturday, and took leave, on his departure from town,' to embark for his government. Saturday was the birthday of his Majesty the King of Prussia. His Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, gave an entertainment in honour of the day at his residence in Carlton-house-terrace. General Sancho, the Spanish Minister, transacted business on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Sa turday, for Ryde, Isle of Wight. Dispatches were sent off from the Colonial-office or. Saturday evening, for the Earl of Elgin, Governor of Jamaica, and the Governors of the other West India Colonies. Dispatches were received on Saturday afternoon at the Colonial-office, from Sir Charles Bagat, Governor of Canada, and the other North American Provinces THE WILLOW OF BABYLON. The following is a translation of the Latin verses by the late Marquis of Wellesley, published last week, beginning with the words " Passis mwsta comis," and written on the uprooting of a favourite weeping wil low at Eton College. This translation is supposed to have been the last literary effort of this illustrious No bleman : Dishevelled, mournful, beauteous type of grief, That seem'st in tears to bend o'er Thames's tide, And still to rue the day when Babel's chief, liigh_or. Thy Parent stream enthroned in pride, Beheld upon the melancholy boughs The Harps unstrung of Israel's captive band, When heart and voice, and orisons and vows, Refused the haughty victor's stern command To move great Sion's festal lay sublime, . To mingle heavenly strains of joy with Tears, To sing the Lord's song in a stranger's clime, And chaunt the holy hymn to heathen ears. Down by Euphrates' side They sat and wept, In sorrow mute, but not to memory dead ; . Oh Sion I—voice and heart in stillness slept, But, the pure mindful tear for Thee was shed : To Thee, beloved Sion ! vain were given Blessing and Honour, Wealth and Power—in vain The glorious present Majesty of Heaven Irradiated Thy - chosen holy Faite ! Fallen from thy God. the heathen's barbarous hand Despoils thy Temple, and thine Altar. stains, 'Refs of Her children mourns the Parent Land. And in Her dwellings deathlike silence reigns. Rise sacred Tree ! a monument to tell How Vanity and Folly lead to Woe ; Under what n rath unfaithful Israel fell, What mighty arm laid Babel's triumphs law. Rise sacred Tree ; on Thames's gorgeous shore, To warn the people and to guard the Throne ; Teach them their religion to adore, And Foreign Faiths, and Rites, and Pomps disown ! Teach them, that their Forefathers' noble race, With Virtue, Liberty, and Truth combin'd, And honest Zeal, and Piety, and Grace, The Throne and Altar's strength have intertwined : The lofty glories of the Land and Main, The stream of Industry and Trade's proud course, The Majesty of empire to sustain ; God's Blessing on sound Faith is Britain's force. Me, when Thy shade and Thames's meads and flowers Invite to soothe the cares of waning age, May Memory bring to Me my long-past hours To calm my soul and troubled thoughts assuage ! Come, Parent Eton ! turn the stream of Time Back to thy sacred fountain crown'd with bays ! Recal my brightest, sweetest days of Prime ! When all was hope, and triumph, joy, and praise. Guided by Thee, I raised my youthful sight, To the steep, solid heights of lasting fame, And hail'd the beams of clear ethereal light That brighten round the Greek and Roman name. 0 Blest Instruction ! friend to generous youth ! Source of all good ! you taught me to entwine The Muse's laurel with eternal Truth, And wake Her Lyre to strains of Faith Divine. Firm, incurrupt, as in life's dawning morn, Nor sway'd by novelty, nor public breath, Teach me false censure, and false fame to scorn, And guide my steps through Honour's paths to death. And thou ! time-honour'd Fabric stand ! a Tower Impregnable, a bulwark of the State ! Untoneh'd by visionary Folly's power, Above the Vain, and Ignorant, and Great ! The mighty race with cultured minds adorn, And i'iety, and Faith ; congenial Pair ! And spread Thy gifts through Ages yet unborn, Thy Country s pride, and Heaven's Parental care. W. ' ILLUSTRATION OF THE CORN-LAW.—We once, some years ago, heard a very shrewd north country man explain his opinion on the Corn-law, and the re strictive system generally. He did so, as plain peo ple will often do, by a parable. In that part of the country, where great landlords are neither so nume rous nor so arrogant as they are here, hare-hunting is a favourite amusement with all classes. The dogs are not regularly bred and matched, but are picked up, and kept by twos and threes, at straggling farm ho f o t u e s n e s m , o s s o t utnhlaikt farm hat,when e b , r s o i n z g e, h s t pe t e o d g , e a t n h d e r e , v e t r h y e by otherre quality. In the pack with which our friend bunted, there was one remarkably good dog. He was staunch, sagacious, obedient, and discreet. He never gave mouth falsely, nor ever mistook or over-run the scent. He had but one fault, an d th at was excess i ve speed. He outstripped every dog i n th e pac k, never missed his game, and spoiled the sp or t b y killi ng t h e hare himself. To cure him of this, he was made to carry weight, and a collar filled with shot fastened round his neck. Our friend said that he never saw the dog without thinking . of the Corn-laws, nor ever heard of the Corn-laws without thinking what a pity it was that so excellent a dog should be made to carry a lead collar to keep him down to the pace of a set of worthless curs, not one of whom had a tithe of his good qualities. Our case •is even worse than that of the poor dog's. No matter with whom we have to compete, the load is unalleviated. All the nations of the world are improving and outstripping us in speed, and yet here we are, with the leaden weight ' of this restrictive policy, as if we had nothing but the old lame pack to deal with, and when we find our selves stumbling, some wiseacres tell us not 10 Llarre she load, but the energies which so far have enabh d us to sustain it.—Liverpool Journal. Mr. Higgs held an inquest on Friday at the Rising Sae, Knightsbridge, on view of the body of Louisa Morris, aged 24, who was found dead in the Serpentine on Thursday morning last. James Jarvis, of Park court, Great Hertford-street, sworn—On Thursday morning about ten o'clock, I was near tl - e Serpentine with my Newfoundland dog. He brought out a stick that I had thrown in, and then returned to the water and laid hold of something which I soon found was pUrt of a woman's dress. The dog could not drag the body out, and I got assistance from the receiving -house, when it was brought to the shore. James Morris, of No. 7, Norfolk-place, sworn. The deceased was my sister. I saw her alive about six weeks since ; she was then residing with my father. Since that time she has kept company with a young man whom I have heard has recently deserted her. She was not in the habit of staying out late at night, and I believe that she must ' have destroyed herself through his giving-her up. No other evidence being forthcoming, the Jury returned a ve rdict of " Found Drowned, but how she c; me into the Seater there was no evidence to prove." SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 6.—MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN.- This afternoon Court de Parsent, the Chamberlain of Don Francisco, ha; been with the Regent in private audience irom three o'clock until five. This audience, the dinner which was given yesterday by M. Mateu, the treasurer of Don Francisco, to the most influential Ministers and leaders of the Cortes, and the frequent communications of the Infante with . the Duke, are motives for believing that the negotiations for the marriage of the Queen and the young Don Francisco de Asis are continued with more celerity than is generally thought. To-morrow will be judged the case of a cornet on half-pay, who is under accusation of having, for the saki:, of a sum of money, taken the place of a conscript, or become his remplacant. Not being paid, and hay ing no other means of subsistence, necessity prompted him to the act. By order of the Inspector-General of Carabiniers (which here replace the custom-house officers) seve ral chiefs and officers have been removed from their stations, for having had transactions with the contra bandists. The regiment which is . garrisoned in Val , ga is in such a state of distress, that soldiers have been seen on guard en munches de chemise. Yesterday died ,lion Francisco Coposis y Nairn, Count of Tarifa, Lieutenant-General and First Knight Grand' Cross of the Order of San Ferdinand. The Noble Count was one of the Generals of highest merit of the Spanish army, and, as a Liberal, we doubt his superior exists. When Ferdinand the Seventh returned from Valencia in 1814, he was the one who said to the King, "Sire, I cannot recognise you as King of Spain until you have sworn to the Con stitution granted by the Cortes in the year 1812." The old warrior died surrounded by misery, and to such an extreme that we have seen a sale of his mili tary dresses to pay his necessary wants during his illness, and for the funeral the executors have been obliged to apply to the MiniSter of Finance for a month's pay for the expenses. The Minister on this occasion has determined by a decreto that in every similar case of the death of an officer, two months' pay will be given immediately for the funeral. The following circular, addressed to the political chiefs of Spain, has been published in the Gazette by order of the Minister of the Interior " Amongst the means employed by the enemies of public repose to keep the minds of the people in a state of agitation, and to make them believe that a settled government is impossible, is the report of the immediate re-eseitilishment of the Constitution of 1812. His HighneSs the Regent, whose motto is Isabel the Second, and the Constitution of 1837, with all its legitimate consequences, has seen with dis pleasure that it is sought by means of this kind to keep the people in a state of constant uncer tainty ; and has been pleased to direct me to acquaint you to endeavor, by all legal means in your power, to repress the attempts being made by cer tain parties to lead public opinion astray, and, at the same time, to inform you-to subject tothe proper tri bunals all persons wanting in respect and obedience to the fundamental law of the Monarchy." When the report to which this circular refers was first propa gated, the cry of the Opposition papers was, that the Government should contradict it. Now, however, when the Government does repudiate the intention imputed to them, the same journals declare that they do not believe one word of the denial published by Ministers. This, of course, was to be expected from persons whose object it is to effect the very object against which they declaim. Nothing, indeed, would give these individuals more sincere satisfaction than to see the Regent and his Government patronising the mad idea of proclaiming the Constitution of 1812. AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL. The Royal Tar steamer arrived at Falmouth on Saturday morning, with the Peninsular mails and passengers, with a further supply of twenty-eight oxen. Her dates of sailing were—from Gibraltar, Oct. 6, Cadiz 7th, Lisbon IQth, Oporto 11th, Vigo 12th. Passengers—Major - General Sir Charles F. Smith, K.C.8., Henry Mostyn, Esq., Miss Mostyn, John Stapleton, Esq., Messrs. Fosol, Albino d'Ara vijo, F. Roughton, li. Hodgson, J. M‘Leod, and two seamen. No particular news. Money at each of the above ports 'very scarce. The vintage in Por tugal promised well. The salved cargo of the schooner James Graham, lately lost near the entrance of th e Tagus, had realised prices far beyond expectation. The American line-of-battle .ship Columbus, 76 guns, sailed from Gibraltar on the Bth, for Mahon. The Formidable and Lizard steamer remained at their anchorage at Gibraltar. The brig Dolphin, of Jersey, was spoken with by this steam-vessel, working into Cadiz from Newfoundland. The new war steam-ship Montezuma, Captain Cleveland, R.N., received coals at Vigo on the 12th, on her voyage towards Vera Cruz. We have heard of the disastrous fate of the new iron steamer Brigand, Captain Hunt, which, on Wednesday, at 5 P.m., went on the same ledge on which the late Thames steamer was wrecked, and in hour sunk in deep water.

EASTERN AFFAIRS. C ONSTA NTINOPLE, SEPT. 28.—The Syrian ques tion was a gain agitated in an extraordinary Council, held on the 27th, at the country seat of Sarim Effendi, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and at which were pre sent some of the Ministers and principal functionaries of the State. The Porte appeared most anxious to settle this affair, and, with a view to facilitate its con clusion, had offered to withdraw the Albanian troops a f from n S i s y t ra Syria, to recal O mar P ac h a , and to intrust the oin of Lebanon to Esaad Pacha, the pre sent Governor of Saida and Tripoli, who would ap point two Caimacans , a Maronite and a Druse, revo cable at his will. There was, consequently, every prospect that this matter_would be speedily arranged, although the Ambassador had insisted that the Caima cans should be directly appointed by the Porte. Mus tapha Pacha, the Serakier, was not to quit Beyrout until the arrival of Esaad Pacha. The Sultan has accepted the mediation of England and Russia in his difference with Persia. It was be lieved that the moment the Shah should have given his adhesion to the propositions of the two. Powers, the quarrel might be deemed settled. In the mean time warlike preparations were in active progress, and men, artillery, and ammunition were daily forwarded to the army assembling on the eastern frontier. The Persians, on their side, had concentrated at Kouleh force of 10,000 men, under the command of Prince Rakhman, brother to the Shah, under pretence of repressing the inroads of the Kurds. M. Boutinief, the Envoy Extraordinary of Russia, landed at Constantinople on the 25th, from a Russian steamer of war, coming from Odessa. The arrival of that diplomatist at a moment when no person expected him caused considerable sensation, and gave rise to much conjecturing. He was said to be charged with a special mission, but nothing had transpired which could lead even to suspect the object of his ab rupt return. He was only a few hours in town, when he waited on the English Ambassador, and the Mi nister of France delayed the departure of the packet steamer for twenty-four hours, in the hope of being able to collect for his' Government some information resp?cting the cause of M. de Boutinief's presence at Constantinople. On the 21st one of the Sultanas was delivered of a Prince, who received the name of Abdul Hainid. On the following morning this fortunate event was pro claimed through the city with the usual ceremony. The Kislar Aga, the chief of the eunuchs, escorted by a numerous cortege, repaired to the Porte to pre sent to-the Grand Vizier the imperial halt, relative to the birth of the Prince. The envoy of the Sultan was met, in the Court of Honour, by the officers of the Porte, and ushered into the Council-hall, where the Grand Vizier, the Ministers, and high dignitaries of State awaited his arrival. One of the Secretaries of the Palace having read the imperial haft aloud, the Kislar Aga withdrew, and returned to the Palace with the same cortege. The feasts ordered on the oc casion had lasted seven days. The Sultan assisted, on the 26th, in the arsenal, at the launching of a steamer of war. Mr. Fonblanque, the British Consul in Servia, ar rived at Consta n ti no ple in the steamer Fernando on the 25th. Advices from Monastic stated that eight battalions of infantry and two regiments of cavalry had left for Sophia, wher e th ey we re to take up their winter quar ters, The garrison of Monastir would consequently among g essel from Al exan d r i a , cb g t ne a der been that s ibi o ar n to towns,to consequence I t ll i‘ra breorted that the pl ague h a d y p is t iaf o rdo t i e l f c se b ua a ri t or t en a di l e i o a r a i s rno . :oft meats stationea a t Janina, Sop hia, Nissa, and other of the latter having been im mediately admitted to katique, a case of plague had occurred at Cavalla. The English steamer Iberia safely effected her first trip to Constantinople. She reached that capital on the 22d, and was to leave on the 30th for London, ith goods and passengers. There was but one wish, in favour of the success of an undertaking which would place London within 18 days of Constanti nople, and afford new facilities to trade. ance, it being th e day MARRIAGE IN M GR LIFE. — On Thursday last the fixed for the celebration or the town of Petw or th presented a very animated appal-- nuptials of one o f the doll g hters of Colonel Wyndh ain to Mr. Montgomery.

T r bt ' tt . :p 4‘Palc",*l *troithrziOttion SUN OFFICE Three o'C'hich The people of Boston, in the United States, have been highly favoured lately. Some weeks ago they had a visit from a Noble Lord, a rate personage in that democratic republic, ivlio sur prised and delighted thorn by his modest de tneanour,by the intimate knowledge he displayed of their domestic affairs, and by his hearty and sincere expressions in favour of a lasting friend ship between the two countries. Next to which was the grand entertainment giVen to their own countryman, Mr. WEBSTER, who made an able speech on the occasion, and began it by repeating the same sentiments, " My object,' said he, " was to disperse the clouds which have been hovering over England and the United States, to determine questions which had existed for several years. and which, though not always threatening war, yet never assured us of per manent peace." That object he has in a great measure accomplished, and every friend of both countries will readily bestow upon him a tribute of praise for the skill with which he conducted negotiations of no ordinary difficulty, requiring on the one hand a show of firmness to suit the tastes of his countrymen, and on the other, good sense and judgment to con cede points which were absolutely 'essential in bringingaffairs to asuccessful issue. His speech is characterised throughout by sound views, and by a degree of independence, and a bold expression of his own opinions, however unwel come to his hearers, which we rarely see ex hibited in statesmen. The M‘LEop affair, the immoral doctrine of repudiation, and the wild outcry raised by the inhabitants of Boston against his own party, form important features in• his speech, and are all treated in a plain straightforward manner. Without justifying the attack on the Caroline, he reproaches the Ante ' rican citizens for the conduct they displayed on the arrest of WLEoD, and still more for pro ceeeding, contrary to the well settled doctrines of public law, in trying an Englishman for an act which was avowed, by the British Government, as a public act. Any elevated Government, where a citizen was accused by another, in consequence of they ing• its orders, he said, would have acted as England had done, and take upon itself all the responsibility. These remarks, however, . affect others besides tl►e riotous, headstrong mob, and will not be very acceptable to the Judge and lawyers who showed, by their proceedings, not only such ignorance of international law, but of the very principles on which their own Government had acted. There are a number of other questions treated at length, and especially the tariff ques tion, and the state of the currency, which our rei.ders will find worthy of perusal. The last topic on which he touches is one of some importance to the people of this country, and rather a sore point for the repudiating States. The following extract will afford a fair specimen of the I►onest view which he took of the question, and of the plain manner in which he told these States that they were little better than public robbers : I cannot help thinking that if the statesmen of a former age were among us, if Washington were here, if John Adams, and Hamilton, and Madison were here, they, would be deeply concerned and soberly thoughtful about the present state of the public credit of the country. Why, at this very time we have a loan in the market, which, at the present rate of money and credit, ought to command in Europe one hundred and twenty-five per cent. Can we sell a dollar of it? And how is it with the credit of our own Commonwealth? Dees it not find itself affected in its credit by the gene. ral state of the credit of the country ? Is there nobody ready to make a movement in this matter—is there not. a man in our councils large enough, compre hensive enough, in his views at least to undertake to present this case before the American people, and thus do something to restore the public character for morals and honesty? The doctrine of repudiation has inflicted upon us a stain which we ought to 'feel worse than a wound, and the time has come when every man ought to address himself soberly and seriously to the suppression of this great existing evil. A weekly paper states that " at a meeting of the Marylebone Vestry on Saturday, a proposi tion was made to grant a site for the erection of a monument to the memory of the Scotch Re formers of 1793, which occasioned some argument and questioning, but on which the Vestry came to no decision." This proposition ought at once to have been decided in the affirmative, with out the slightest " argument or question ing," for it was one which it was no more than an act of common justice to accede to, and which it was ungracions-and we may add, ungrateful—to refuse. Who have stronger claims on the respect and gratitude of all con scientious Reformers, than those who braved every difficulty and danger in the cause of Re form ? Beset by obloquy, subjected to the bit terest contempt and ridicule, dogged by spies wherever they went, while the j aloes. restless, ever-vigilant eye of Government was fixed on their s ightest movements, and its legal emis saries were prepared to misinterpret their slightest and most inoffensive expressions; the ScottiAt Reformers yet nobly perse vered in their attempts to ameliorate the political condition of their countrymen ; they were the great pioneers of Reform; and if we have at length, after a world of difficulty, suc ceeded in obtaining this boon; if the,voice of the people be now heard in the House of Commons, where, fifty year::: ago, it was scarcely permitted even to whisper—it is to the disinterested, pa triotic martyrs of 1793, that this vast im provement in our political system is mainly owing. The Marylebone Vestry ought not to have forgotten this fact and they should have borne in mind also, that had it not been for the strong impetus given to Reform by the indefatigable exertions, and ungrudg,ed per sonal sacrifices of MUIR, PALMER, GERRA LD, and their colleagues, Marylebone might, at this mo ment,like the ot'ier Metropolitan boroughs, have been vc ithiut a Represent ttive in Parliament. It t-_llls but indifferently for public spirit when pro posals to h wour the MC-41101y of the tri: t c dead, are.received by public bodies with coldness and apathy. The accounts from Constantinople of the 28th ult. possess considerable 'interest. The media tion of England and Russia had been accepted by the Porte in the Persian affair; and the SULTAN had communicated to the Ambassadors of the Great Powers his determination respecting the Syrian question. He consents to remove EMMER Pacha, and to replace him, as regards Mount Lebanon, by ESA AD Pacha, who is to ap point Maronite and Druse Princes to rule over their respective tribes under the Pacha's in spection. The affairs of Servia still cause anxiety, and this has not at all been lessened by the arrival of M. DE BOUTINTEF at Constantinople, from which some persons conclude that Russia has a new intrigue in preparation. It was totally unex pected, even by the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. DE TITOF. It is supposed that Austria, France, and Prussia will follow the example of Russia, and forthwhich dispatch ministers and ambassadors to discuss and watch over this ques tion, which cannot henceforth be left at the mercy of Russia. M. DE BOUTINIEF, on his arrival, was waited upon by the first Dragoman of the Porte, with whom he at once entered upon the objects of 'his mission. His Excellency at the same time made communications to the representatives of the four Great Powers upon the same subject, with a view to tranquillise both them and the Porte as to the intentions of the Russian Cabinet in regard to Servia. The dates of the Smyrna paperS just received come down to the 30th ult. inclusive. M. LE LEU, the Superior of the Lazarists in the Levant, arrived at Smyrna on the 26th front ConStanti nople. He was to proceed thener to - the Grecian Arcl.ipelago, on an inspection of the religious establishments placed under his jurisdiction. Mr. BANKHEAD, First Secretary of the British Em bassy at Constantinople, and Coimnander QUAG LIA, the Tuscan Charge d'Affaires, passed through Smyrna on the 29th, on their way to Europe. On the 25th the British corvette Beacon s died for Vourla, %%hence she was to repair to Caudia, to complete the surve3 of the coast of that island. The letters from Malta, of the sth inst., are destitute of interest. The squadron was still cruising between that island and Sicily. The Portafoglio Maltese states that it was again re ported that the present Governor of Malta wouid shortly be superseded in that post, and it avails itself of that opportunity to call on the English Government to appoint in his place a civil, not a military Governor. The Mediterraneo of Malta has a letter froth Alexandria, 2fiLlt ult., stating that Mehemet Ali had at 'wig tit paid a 6um of money on account of the seamen of his fleet, and, in order to recruit his finances, had issued a circular, calling on all persons who were indebted to him to pay up im mediately, or find themselves excluded from all future contracts This circular appears to have created great astonishment and dissatisfaction, as it was understcod when the last sales of corn were effected by the Government that the pur chasers were to be allowed a certain time for the payment of a portion of the money. Madrid papers of the 9th have been received. A Te Deum was sung in the Chapel Royal, on the 7th, in commemoration of the triumph which was gained last year over the movement, headed by General DIEGO ,LEON. The QUEEN, the REGENT, and all the civil and military autho rities were present. There was no particular ceremony ordered to be observed on the present occasion. The Halberdiers who so distinguished themselves on the night of the Bth October, 1841, are to be regaled with a dinner. The young Queen of SPAIN accomplished her 12th year on the 10th (Monday last), but her Majesty's guardian resolved that there should be no besamaaos or other ceremonial. In the even ing the public offices were to be illuminated. A Committee has been nominated to draw up a Bill tbr regulating the liberty of the public press, and to incorporate in one law the varitm; measures which had reference thereto. Advices.from Pampeluna state that Brigadier IRA NETA, the Governor of that place, and Senor IVIADoz, the political Chief, have been dismissed. MADRID BOLSA, SATURDAY, OCT. B.—The busi • ness done to-day amounted in English money to about 286,596/. The market was tolerably buoyant, and prices are a shade • higher than yesterday. In the Three per Cents. one transaction was effected for a million of reals at 21 for the 20th instant, with the current coupon.

Exchange on London at 90 day 3, 37g. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday con tain no news of interest. In several of them comments are made on the returns of the quar ter's revenue, and regard the unexpected de ficiencies as a proof' that the prosperity and trade of the country are fast declining. The Presse makes the following remarks on the measures in troduced by Sir R. PEEL last session : " When Sir Robert Peel presented his financial plan he aimed at two things—to prccure a more easy existence to the people, and aid the branches of that trade suffered. The increase of the revenue was but an ac cessary of his design. Now, it appears .that not one of the three results has been attained. The Exche quer has not gained since the quarter's revenue has fallen off, notwithstanding the causes of increase which have influenced the movement of commercial affairs and home consumption. One of the principal branches of trade in England—the corn trade—is at present loud in exclamations against the new Corn laws ; and lastly, the working classes have not expe rienced any relief, for they have been forced to de prive themselves more and more of the common ne cassaries of life, and to revolt against their employers. Therefore, up to the present time, Sir R. Peel's fa mous plan has not been so effective as was expected. Will it succeed better hereafter ?" The Ministerial papers are silent on the sub ject of the treaty of commercial union with Belgium. But the Liberals discuss it without reserve. The National admits the disadvan tages consequent on a commercial treaty, but declares that a political union cannot otherwise be brought about. The higher commercial classes in France are, however, so opposed to it, that their union can never, probably, be carried, except as the result of a popular clamour similar to that which forced them to vote the fortifica tions of Paris. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duc D'Au MALE left Nantes on the morning of the 15th inst., for Brest, where they were to embark fur Lisbon, from which place the Due D'AUMALE will proceed to Algiers.

The subject of this i d r t, nomenon is the Washington Treaty, and it is a n _ Ire acquisitive, and pertinacious people, prone to mi ne s• and reprove their Government, especially in ° n o - Iv tion with foreign relations, that display this re • ° a of able unity.
