A large majority of the adult population of Great Britain will recollect the time when a fierce civil war was waged in Spain between the adhe rent• of QUEEN ISasELLA and of the late DON CARLOS. It was a case of disputed succession like our own Wars of the Roses. There was, however, no civil tribunal before which the im portant question could be decided. It was con sequently remittel to the arbitrament of the sword, which eventually ruled in favour of the female claimant. It was chiefly by the aid of British valour that this result was accomplished, and there can be but little doubt that if the matter had rested with Spaniards only, the young QUEBN and her amiable mother would have been expelled from the country. There was, however, at the time much appa rent reason for the sympathy so freely awarded to the successful claimant. " Liberty and the Constitution" were the watchwords invoked on behalf of the youthful QUEEN, while " Prieitcraft and Despotism" were the Carlist war cries. There was also a natural feeling operating in favour of a young and innocent claimant. All will remem ber the efficient assistance bestowed by the Bri tish Legion, and the ingratitude with which they were subsequently treated. Something, how ever, was gained by the supposed triumph of constitutional principles, that induced the nation to forget the injustice inflicted on their own countrymen, and to acquiesce in the success of the Christinos ; and there is no doubt that if the promises so lavishly tendered had been as faith fully redeemed, the English blood F o freely shed in cementing the foundation of the Spanish Throne would scarcely have been regretted, save by the immediate relations and friends of those who fell in the internecine conflict. But Queen ISABELLA now considers herself strong, enough to kick down, by the aid of an unscrupulous Minister, the convenient ladder to which she owed her elevation. She has substi tuted the Carlist cries of "Despotism and Priest craft" for "Liberty aril the Constitution," and, without conciliating the party by whom she was previously opposed, has completely disgusted and alienated the better elms of her own supporters. The ingratitude displayed towards the British auzili- aries has been followed up by even more decided misconduct against her own most faithful and loyal subjects, and there is but too much reason to fear that she has joi:ied in the conspiracy which has deprived the nation of the services of the Duke of VICTORY. He was the head of the Liberal Government, the representativ e of Pro gress and Reform, and, as such, eminently dis tasteful to the Court faction. A coup d'etat was, therefore, resolved on ; and it was cunningly carried into execution. As we yesterday pointed out, there was a Pro clamation ready cut and dry—placing the whole of Spain under martial law—before any attempt at resistance was made, even before the arch deceiver O'Doxbrzra, had thrown aside the mask with whioh be concealed his intentions from his betrayed colleagues. And it now appears that a force of 18,000 men was concentrate) on Madrid, ready to suppress any einetae into which the people might be driven, and which, there can be little doubt, was stimulated by O'DONNELL and his fellow-conspirators fir their own purposes. But it is dangerous playing with edgo-too!s, or flinging firebrands in the neighbourhood of com bustible materials. O'DoNNELL has for the mo ment succeededin the capital ; but in the provinces the soldiLrF, under the gallant GUERREA, have fraternise with the people, and no less than 83 members of the Cortes have seceded from Madrid to Saragossa, where the sandard of the Constitution has been elevated under what may safely be regarded as the Spanish Parliament. A fierce contest may therefore be anticipated, and ISABELLA and her advisers may find that a very dangerous experi ment has been attempted. When Crown and Parliament aro in direct opposition—when the one raises the standard of despotic authority and the other of constitutional law, we may readily con ceive that an easy victory cannot be achieved over those who have the sympathies of the nation in their favour. At present we must be contented to watch the contest in silence, neither interfering ourselves nor allowing others to interfere. The Spanish people have a right to select their own form of govern ment. That is a•privilege which NAPOLEON can not refuse, inasmuch as it is the basis on which his own . title to the Imperial Throne entirely rests. It must also be borne in mind that there has been no attempt on the part of the People against the existing state of affairs. It is the QUEEN that has assailed the Constitution to which she owes her power, and the Cortes and the nation are fully justified in resisting to the utmost the unjustifiable and impolitic attempt. Notwithstanding the opposition with which he was greeted from all sides of the House, the country will sympathise with the Hon. Gentle man the member for Bridport in the just indig nation which he manifested with respect to the unglue favouritism manifested towards the Ger man mercenaries. In every instance those who did not behold a single shot fired in anger, who only shed the blood of those by whom they have been fed and supported, have been preferred before our own most, gallant troops. The ftirni- tare supplied to the German officers at shorn cliffe and Aldershot, but denied to British officers, mly, per se, be a matter of comparatively trivial importance ; but it is part of a highly-objection able system. Like the straw flung up, it indi cates the direction of the wind ; and when we couple it with the free passage to, and grants of land in the colonies, while the English and Irish militiamen are stripped of their clothes, deprived of the bounty to which they were fairly entitled, and turned loose on the world to beg or plunder, we cannot feel sur prised that a deep feeling of indignation should be excited against those through, whose presumed influence this untoward state of affairs is pro duced. Nor can we be astonished that the parties thus petted should presume on the indulgence, and think that they too can display hauteur and in solence towards the mere English, whom they are taught to regard as an inferior race, unable to govern or protect themselves without German assistance. We may easily judge of the blessing we have lost in so steadily refusing to accept a Standing German Legion for garrison and active duty within the United Kingdom. There can ba no doubt that such a consummation was contem- plated at the time that the Foreign Enlistment Bill was so recklessly hurried through both Houses, and it was only from the tone adopted in Parliament, and by the Press generally, of all shades and varieties of political opinion, that the full development of the project was averted. Had it been carried out as originally intended, we should have been justified in in quiring " Quis custodiet ipsos custodes," in de manding additional protection against the vaga ries of these quasi conservators of the public peace. As it is, we cordially concur with Mr. MIIRROUGIi in thinking that the retention of a large body of foreign troops during a time of peace is disgraceful to the Government. We are convinced that we are speaking the almost unanimous opinion of the country in de manding that they should be despatched to their place or places of destination with all possible expedition ; and we venture also to assert that the departure of other Germans from our shores would be hailed with unequivo cal delight throughout the country. We may, therefore, paraphrase a toast once proposed at the Beef Steak Club in Ireland, and which created a considerable sensation at the time, " The Exports •! England, and may those who would subvert its Constitution be the first." SUBSIDIES really seem to be understood much better by England than INDEMNITIES. The expe rience accruing to us from the last war affords unhappily anything rather than an exceptional illustration of the remarkable and deplorable fact here particularised. It is a national characteristic, or let us call it at once more correctly a criminal weakness on the part of the Government—of the existence of which almost every successive conflict in which the United Kingdom has become involved has yielded during reign after reign, during cen tury after century, the same wearisome and monotonous demonstration. It constitutes in point of fact the key to the annals of our taxa tion. It furnisles us with a clue through the labyrinthine mysteries of that wearily woven and warily involving Net in which the British Liou has gradually become entangled—the National Debt of 800,000,0001.—the Net vainly expected to be nibbled through, one of these line days, by some keen-toothed mouse of a Financier England, again wo say, understands subsidies much better than indemnities. Her history proves it. The monetary records of the United Kingdom demonstrate this more clearly, perhaps, than they demonstrate anything. They show, in unmistakeable characters, how readily we can disburse, but how very unwillingly we contrive at rarest intervals, in any instance whatever, to be in the smallest degree reimbursed. The Sycee silver is a rarer metal in its way, we take it, than platinum or all uminiutn, or any other of the strange materiel known either to the practised metallurgist or to those most skilled in the science of numis matics. It has been very seldom, indeed, that we have extotted compensation from the van quished as in the instance of the conquered Chinese. Instead of indemnifying ourselves, we have subsidised others : and then so prodigilly and systematically, that it. becomes no subject fur marvel to those in any way familiar with the financial statistics of the groat war against NAPO LEON to find how frequent and enormous were the loans and subsidies lavished upon Foreign Powers by the British Government. Sub sidies and loans so enormous, that in 1801 they amounted to 690,1141., in 1802 to 285,4511., in 1803 to 212,275/., iu 1804 to 103,4231., in 1805 to 35,3411., in 1806 to 595,8471., in 1807 to 859,0821., and in 1808 to as much as 2,897,873. Increasing so immensely and rapidly after the opening up of the Peninsular struggle, that w..; find these amounting in 1809 to 2,579,0391., in 1810 to 2,110,543/., in 1811 to 2,367,4131., in 1812 to 3,908,5211., in 1813 to 6,786,0221., in 1814 to 8,442,5781., in 1815 to 10,024,6241., and finally in 1816 to 11,035,248 ! Perfectly in keeping with which extravagant loans and subsidies during the Euro pean war of 1800.1815, we now note at the close of the European war of 1854-1856 a total ab sence of anything like the merest semblance of indemnification. Insomuch that the Crimea is given up once more unconditionally to the aggres sive Government of the CZAR. Not a single stronghold is retained by the Allies as a security for the future good behaviour of the Musco vite. England and France, and what is still . THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EITENIP !JULY 22, 1858. ONEY MARKET harder, Sardinia, and what is most hard of all , Turkey- -each of the Allied Powers is re quired to bear the whole weight of the war in money as well a in hard fighting, by debt as well as by bloodshed—without apparently the smallest notion being for au instant entertained as to Russia yielding them even the shadow of a com pensation. Viewing the present disgraceful Peace solely in its application to ourselves—here is Eng land at the close of the War with millions of money rifled from her, with tens of thousands of her bravest sons crumbling into dust hard by the dreadful pest-houses of Scutari and the terrible trenches before Sebastopol—with the grinding income tax doubled—and food still in a great measure at war prices--and Russia disbursing not one single doit towards the liquidation of the immense increase of debt resulting from her law less aggression upon the Sublime Porte, with a view to the flagitious seisure of Constantinople ! .The knowledge of all which must console the Czar ALEXANDER with the sense as of a really lubstantial vengeance over his adversaries—as :he recollection of .it cannot, by any possibility, rail in the end to reflect at once disgrace and infamy upon the British Government.

Accounts from the agricultural districts S 3 represent the appearance of the 'growing crops as 20 very favourable.

Her ad vices were not so late as those previously received. 1C The yearly meeting of the Commercial Bank of 25 London took place this day, when a report was 25 read, showing a net profit of 38,9751. 15s. 6d. for 41 Bt. 2i the year ending 30th June last.

Why, it must have tickled the ribs of FALSTAFF, moved to the rarest envy that mountain of wit, to have witnessed the manner in which his aristocratic rival in the regions of fun and selfishness managed to extract enjoyment from the march of his humbler troop through Coventry. True, the recruits of the Noble Vis count were not reduced to that deplorable state of destitution arrived at by the fat knight's ; considerably more than a shirt and two napkins doing duty among them for regimental linen, and little, if any, exception being takeable to their personal appearance on the ground of want of carnal solidity or due comprehensiveness of ves ture—the Parliamentary recruit being, as he ought certainly to be, in good condition by the end of the session, whatever he was at the begin ning, and having, as was fairly to be expected, parted with all superfluous liking for self-denial. But in that well-arrayed convoy—that lumber ing "Parliamentary train," so jealously guarded by hussars—how many rags of independence and self-respect were forthcoming ? Not many, we should fancy, to judg/ by the gleeful care with which the Noble Viscount paraded them for observation, yet kept the wind from coming be tween them and his nobility. Beneath an exterior levity his Premiership conceals a good deal of ambition, and perhaps still more of patrician pride. Depend upon it, his Lordship meant some thing when be planned the march of the Parlia mentary vans, and determined to head them on horseback, instead of sharing the comforts or vicissitudes incident to occupancy inside or out. What could it have been? A thought flashes across our minds. The noble septuagenarian, inveterately funny that he is, must by this time be on the verge of, if not entered, a second time on the period of addiction to practical joking common to vivacious and enterprising youth all the world over. His Lordship may be supposed—there is nothing at all outrageous in the supposition—to have be come wearied of leading his abject followers in private by the nose, and to have thought it would be capital fun to let the public participate in his former enjoyment of the spectacle. Pro bably enough the pride of the artist may have had a little to do with his determination and in showing how slavishly obedient he had made them, he may have further contemplated a political de monstration, and a humorous bit of rivalry with the General commanding at the review. None of these things imperatively demanded personal contact or association in public ; consequently, as a thorough-paced aristocrat, who will use praise and pay, but generally objects to associate in public with a plebeian good•for-naught, his Lord ship saw no reason why he should prove an ex ception to the rule. Trotting them out, however, would afford but imperfect enjoyment unless accompanied by ap propriate description and comment. Whether his Lordship had that pleasure and shared it with others, or not, we will not undertake to say ; but really, if he had, wo should have enjoyed it, had we listened to him, amazingly. Nobody could, nobody can tell better than the Noble Vis count, how sinners are made of Parliamentary saints, and to what extent this or that political virtue is or was proof against temptation. We could have said as much at the commencement of the session—it is not easy to say more at its con clusion, though all his Lordship's previous expe rience was a mere joke, we should fancy, to what has been gathered in th© interval. Inveterate joker, witty, heartless, reckless good fellow—tell us in your own good time the story of the session whose moral you so whimsically portrayed in your me .rch to Aldershot—and if you cannot spare us, from blushes, be merciful at least to our ribs. Tell us what jokes you cut on the subject, both before and after you set out ; and don't fail to ranee !abet . what the Members said, and how they 100 led (knowing what great culprits they were) w b en the Vans came for them, accompanied, for all ‘,rhe world—You malicious dog I—by a troop of ausiars ! Didn't every man of them believe, a:1)(i tremble in his shoes at the thought, that he wen being, sent for his sins to the Tower ? After all, it is too bad to tempt a poor plebeian, and then him out and puke fun at him ! Too bad, i after wheedling and ringing him, to lead him forth by t. `lO nose, and brand him henceforth for what you ha, f l helped so materially to make him.

IMPE MA lAMEN HOUSE OP COMMONS.—(This Day.) Tho SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lc,r.ib' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—.A.Lerdeen and Se. , ALish midland Junction Railway Companies Amalgamation, Oxford, Worce3ter, and Wolverhampton Railway (Ex tension of time, &c.), Severn Navigation Improvemsrit Commission, and Westminster Terminus Railway Bills. The following bills were read a third time and passed : --Bell's Estate, Dalling,ton Estate, and Thoroton's and Croft's Estate Bills. TORTURE IN INDIA. Mr. OTWAY presented a petition from the President of Madras, complaining of the present mode of torture in India, and praying the house to appoint a mixed com mission of Europeans and Indians to inquire into the subject, with a view to putting a stop to it. COUNTY COURTS ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Oa the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. GLADSTONE called the attention of the Go vernment to the state of the courts in Westminster-hall, which was a matter that ought to be taken up by the executive rather than by a private individual member of the house. He wished to ask if her Majesty's Go vernment were disposel to make any inquiry during the recess into the state of the judicial establishments in Westminster-hall, particularly into the present number of judges, especially taking into view the immense relief and diminution of busine-s in Westminster-hall, which had been brought about by the establishment of County Courts. Sir G. GREY said that from information he had ob tained ho found that the civil business in the Superior Courts had not decreased as was anticipated, nor had it diminished on circuit, except in one or two instances. The question of reducing the number of judges was one requiring grave consideration, because in addition to civil business they had the criminal business of the coun try to attend to, and he had received several commu nications from Glamorganshire, complaining of inconve nience from one judge only being sent there on circuit business. At present there was but one learned judge in town, the others being fully occupied on circuit. He would consider the matter during the recess. Several verbal amendments were agreed to in the bill, and clauses added. Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of the follow ing clause :—" Clerks articled to attorneys or solicitors may, after serving two years under articles, and with consent of their masters, appear as advocates; the clerk to any attorney or solicitor who has already been, or who hereafter shall become articled to such attorney or solicitor, and who may have served two years under his articles with such attorney or solicitor, may appear as advocate on behalf of any party to any proceedings in the County Court, on pro ducing to the registrar of the court his articles, and als° a certificate from his master that he consents thereto; and the attorney to whom such clerk is or may be arti cled shall be entitled to the same fees as if he bad per sonally attended the said court, provided that the clerk shall be subject to the same rules and regulations as attorneys now are or hereafter may be subject to." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL resisted the clause on the ground that these courts ought not to be dealt with as schools for professional education. In no court of law were persons who were qualifying themselves for a particular status allowed to exercise the functions of all advocate. The courts of law exercised control over ad mitted attorneys, but they had no control over attor neys' clerks. Under all circumstances, he thought it desirable that this clause should be rejected. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the clause on public grounds, and as regarded the interests of the public, and not with reference to the educational part of the question. After some remarks from Mr. Stafford, Mr. Glad; stone, Mr. Crau;urd, Sir E. Perry, Mr. Mullings, an Mr. Fitzroy, in the course of which it was stated tha t agents, not professional men, were allowed by the judge to attend in these courts for plaintiffs or defendants, but that t iey had no pee er to award him a fee as in the case of an attorney. The clause was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. HADFIELD then moved the following clause :1' "Any attorney may act for another attorney concerned in any plaint or action, or in advocating in court for biro in case of illness, absence from home, distant residences and other special grounds or reasons." Mr. ROEBUCK opposed the clause. It was intended, to do away, by a side wind, with the interference 0' barristers. If it was desirable to do that, let it be done openly, and not in this covert manner. After some discussion, the clause was negatived wit h• out a division. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved there-insert ion of the clause permitting a registrar or assistant clerk to reside out of the district under special grounds and by consent of the Lord Chancellor ; or, when the district is within the Duchy of Lancaster, by the consent of the Chancellor of the Duchy, but his office to be within the district. He thought the house ought not to ca d upon the registrars of populous districts such as Shoreditch and Bethnal-green to reside within then After some discussion the clause was negatived with• out a division. Mr. ROEBUCK complained that the clause referring to the retiring allowance to be given to County Cci tu ,, t clerks had been altered since the bill passed throug" committee, from one-fourth to one-third. The SPEAKER said the alteration could be made without notice. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—Then the matter being now passed, is beyond our control. Mr. WILSON wished to explain. The SPEAKER—It cannot now be discussed. Sir J. GRAHAM—Then 1 cannot sufficiently express ration should have be en made without previous notice. both my surprise and sorr ow, that so important an alte- The SPEAKER —The hon. member can refer to it on the question that the bill do pass. The remaining clauses, after some discussion on vari ous amendments, principally of a verbal character, wore pm agr eed to. On the question that the bill do pass, Mr. WILSON entered into a detailed statement with reference to the position of the clerks in the Governmen t getting rid of the plurality of courts, and stated that the vested interests of the clerks in these courts, considering they had resigned their private practice on taking these offices, and the justice of the case, demanded that the retiring allowance should be one-third instead of one fourth. The increase in amount would be small, but would not increase the existing charges which were paid out of the fees of the courts. Sir J. GRAHAM said if it had not been too late he shouid have moved the reduction of the amount one' es--• fourth, believing that a sufficient retiring allowan ce ' LEFT SPEAKING.) LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE KING. This bankrupt was described as of Guildford, book' seller, Stc., and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate, which had been adjourned. Mr. Chidley appeared for the bankrupt, and applied for a certificate of the second class. His Honour said that the bankrupt had made awai with the whole of his property, and there would not be 101. for the creditors, and it was a question whether the certificate ought not to be further adjourned. Mr. Chidley said the case had been before the Co urt some months. His Honour then granted a certificate of the third class. IN RE PAWLEY.
