If Jews were declared eligible, and more than ten were to get into the House, they would be fairly returned by Chris tian electors, who would not, we imagine, elect persons who were likely to attack the religion of their constituents. What an opinion must those soi-disant Christians have of the power and influence of their own creed, who think it would be endangered by the return of a score of Jews to Parliament ! But in the second place, it is due to the Jews to observe that if they are rigid in the obser vance of their own faith, and obstinate in resisting the attacks of proselytism, they never attempt to convert others to their belief, or directly or in directly assail the Christian religion. If fifty or a hundred and fifty Jews, instead of a dozen, were to get into the House of Commons—if the " City Leviathan" were seated in the House of Lords, there would be no attempt to overthrow the established religion, or to degrade the cha racter of its leading functionaries. The Jews in either House would keep a strict eye on the administration of the monish, and would so far be useful auxiliaries of Mr. HUME and the economists; but they would never think of pitting their High Priest against that Right Reverend Father in God the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. We believe the greatest obstacles which the *Jews have hitherto experienced in their efforts at emancipation, have been the prejudices of uneducated Christians on the one hand, and the disgust of liberal minded men at the degrad ing submission to power evinced by the Jews, on the other. If an attack upon freedom by the despots of any country has been at any time resolved upon, it was the Jews, " say their opponents," who found the means of carrying it into execu tion—if an attempt has been made by the bonds men of despots to throw off the yoke, it has been a Jew who has betrayed them. Were this even true to the extent stated, what would it prove, but that if we debase a man by cruel and unjust treatment, we must not expect from him the same excellence of conduct as we look for from a free agent. There are among the Jews many unworthy characters. Perhaps even in this coun try, where they are more educated than abroad, the lower classes of Jews do not exhibit much to attract approbation or sympathy ; but what have we done to entitle us to expect from them as slaves other than the ordinary indications of slavery ? Make them free and we shall hold out to them the same inducements to good conduct as are found efficient in Christian Society. We cannot expect the same results from a system of bondage as we derive from a system of freedom. We have argued the question upon general grounds, and have assumed the Jews to be, as a body, what their opponents have described them. Let us not, however, be unjust. There are among the Jews in this country examples of pri vate benevolence and public spirit worthy of imi tation by a Chri,tian community. We know one Jew who is the patron of at leapt a dozen public Christian charities ; and we have heard of others who are more Christians at heart than many of our professing Christians. For the sake of argument, however, let it be granted that the Jews, as a body, are not just what we would wish them to be—they are, at least, what our bigotry and persecution have made them. Re- move the cause, and the effect will cease. Emancipate the Jew, and we shall soon see the fruits of his emancipation. The report circulated by the Miguelite papers in London, that an engagement between the troops of Don PEDRO, under the command of Marshal SOLIGNAC, and those of the Usurper, commanded by SANTA MARTHA, had taken place on the 10th instant, in which the Pedroites were defeated, is unfounded, as no such intelli gence has been received. The statement that the Marquis de PALMELLA had resigned is equally incorrect. The Chamber of Peers, as we see by the French Papers, has at length yielded to the Chamber of Deputies, though in a sulky and ungracious sort of manner, on the subject of the repeal of the law respecting the anniversary of Louts the Sixteenth's death. It appears by the extracts from Brussels Papers, that the KING and QUEEN arrived in that Capital on the 18th. By the express from Paris the papers of Monday, and the Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday, have been received. They are principally filled with comments on the abroga tion of the Law of the 16th of January, 1806, for the observance of the 21st of January as a day of prayer for the soul of Louis X VI., and the probability of a change in the Ministry. The victory gained by the Chamber of De puties over the aristocratic feeling of the House of Peers is treated as a most revolu- tionary majority by the Carlist journals. The Quotidienne of Monday recalls to the memory of all loyal Frenchmen that that day forty years, the kind and persecuted Louts XVI. was dragged to the scaffold by a revolutionary mob, who were thirsting for his blood, and recom mends them to offer up their fervent prayers for his departed soul. A Council of Ministers was held on Monday, at which his MAJESTY presided ; they sat in deli beration for several hours. The unsettled state of le Belgian and Dutch question appears to be the great object of their discussions. A great disunion exists in the Ministry. M. THIERS and the Duke de BROGLIE are at variance. Marshal SOULT, the Minister of War, and Pre sident of the Council, is extremely jealous of the flattering manner in which Louis PHILIP expressed himself to AI arshal GERARD, and the chief officers of the army of the north, and the kind feeling that appears to exist between the Duke de BASSANO and his Majesty. In all probability a change will shortly take place. The Cour Royale, and the other Courts of Justice, did not sit on Monday. Daily interviews take place between the Aus trian and Prussian Ambassadors and the Duke de BROGLIE, and at the Hotel of Lord GRAN VILLE, the British Ambassador (who is still unable to leave his room), on the affairs of Hol land. The statement that Prussia had reduced her army, proves to be incorrect; that Power will not, it is positively announced, put herself on the peace-establishment until the Dutch ques tion is finally settled. Private letters have been received at Mar seilles from Constantinople, which state that the SULTAN, finding himself so pressed by IBRA HIM PACHA, had applied to Russia for im mediate assistance, and that a private treaty had been entered into between these tn•o Powers• The troops of the SULTAN had been defeated, and obliged to retire towards the capital. Intelligence has been received from Oporto up to the 10th instant, via Bayonne, and from Vigo to the 14th. Don PEDRO was strongly for tified and well provisioned. Marshal SOLIGNAC was to make a grand attack upon the enemy on the 12. h or 13th with the greater part of the forces. Admiral SARTORIUS had left Vigo, for Oporto. The last news from Spain up to the morning of the 12th, represent Madrid to be in the greatest state of agitation, as most serious disturbances were expected. An order has been issued by the police at Paris to the leaders of the Italian Committee that they must leave the capital. This order is in consequence of Government having discovered that they have taken a very active part in the in trigues against the present dynasty. Paris continues tranquil. It was*stated in an Evening Paper last night, that the Germanic Diet had protested against the annexation of Luxemburg to Belgium. Nothing official has yet transpired on the subject. In another part of our Paper will be found reports of two separate public dinners, given, one to Mr. HumE, at Staines, and the other to Messrs. BRISCOE and BEAUCLERK at Wands worth. Both were well attended, and both equally remarkable for the number of sound, wholesome, spirit-stirring truths spoken. How different is the case with the Tories ! While the Reformers, like honest, hearty fellows, are dining in all directions, the faction can scarcely muster courage enough to get up one Conservative dinner. To be sure, we have heard of two or three tea-parties in the North, and a thing called " a breakfast" in one of the Mid land counties ; moreover, we have a suspicion that an attempt at a dinner was made a short time since at Leicester and Norwich—but with the exception of these sorry make-believes, nothing worthy the name of a dinner, nothing that even the most charitable Alderman would not turn up his nose at, has yet been given by the Conservatives. This is an unanswerable proof of the decline of their influence and confidence. Party triumphs always develope themselves in England, whatever they may do elsewhere, through the medium of ap peals to the gastric juice ; when, therefore, a great political faction (hitherto remarkable for the number and variety of its convivial meetings) has so far degenerated in its notions of the fes tive, as to substitute thin bohea for the sparkling juice of the grape, we appeal to all unbiassed judgments, whether such a party may not be fairly pronounced on its last legs. " Tea and turn out" is now the (appropriate enough) em blem of Conservative festivities. But to turn to a more grateful theme. Mr. HUME'S speech at Staines was just what we should have expected from him. It was manly, pointed, and explicit. The Hon. Member spoke in forcible terms of the neces sity of a Reform in the Church, which, though he topic be hacknied, cannot be too often dinned into the public ear ; and on the subject of the ballot said, " he was proud in being the first, five years ago, to bring the question of the ballot regularly under the consideration of Parliament. Lord ALTHORP then sup ported the ballot, and ascribed to it the preservation of the liberties of Europe. He said, that had it not been for the ballot in France, M. VILLELE would have destroyed the liberties of the people. What was there now to prevent his Lordship entertaining the same opinion ? We repeat the question. What is there to prevent Lord ALTHORP holding the same opinion on the ballot in 1833, that he held in 1828 ? If it was necessary then, it is still more necessary now; for the Conservatives, mad with rage at their defeat and loss of place, have been recurring of late to their old electioneering manoeuvres with more perseverance and effron- tery than ever. But, it may be urged, Reform has been achieved since Lord ALTHORP de clared himself so warmly in favour of the ballot ; the necessity, therefore, of such a measure, is in a great degree done away with. On the con trary, we repeat, the necessity is more pressing than ever. Reform, as it at present stands, is incomplete—unfinished—a mere foun dation, in fact, of which the ballot and triennial Parliaments form the indispensable materials— the crowning glory of the superstructure. What good architect would ever think of stopping at the ground-work of a building ? What would have been said of Mr. NASH had he halted at the kitchens and cellars of Regent -street, and left the other por- (ions of the buildings to shift for them selves ? Yet Ministers seem just now work ing in this bungling spirit. They raise a goodly foundation, and there they stop. They clear away the rubbish of the old edifice, lay the ground.work of a new, and then exclaim, " Our work is accomplished ; come one and all and admire it." Now this is language that no sterling architect can, or will uphold. It smacks of indolence, of prejudice, of self-complacency. No good workman has a right to claim praise in advance. He must go right through with his duty, before he calls on the public to give him credit for it. Ministers, we trust, will complete the work of Reform in this spirit. Public opi- nion runs strongly, and not more strongly than de- servedly in their favour,and they have only to float with the current, to bear down all factious opposi tion. As we have more than once observed, Reform cannot come to a stand still. It must advance, for it is the tendency of every good change to pave the way for a better. It is the intelligence of the age that calls for the ballot and triennial Parliaments. As that intelligence increases (and its advance is now numbered by weeks and months, not by generations and cen turies, as in the olden time) so will the popular voice gain strength, and its demands extort compliance. PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS. MEETING OF THE RATE-PAYERS, (THIS DAY.) • A public meeting of the Rate-Payers of the Parish of S Paperer; was held this day, at the Institution, Gray's Inn -road, N. A. VIGORS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, for the purpose of consulting upon the necessary measures to be adopted with a view to lessen the present enormous amount of the poorot ites. The CHAIRMAN commenced the business of the meet ing, and said they had been called together to deliberate on the affairs of their parish, to pass judgment upon the mode by which they had hitherte been conducted, to hear the statement of those to whom they had hitherto delegated their interest, as to the manner in which they had executed the trust reposed in them, and to give those persons such further advice and instructions, as should strengthen them in th-ir exertions.—( Hear.) One of the subjects was the lamented and extraordinary increase in the poor rites. That impost was grievous enough some time ago, but it was now still more grievous, by the exaction of four pence in the pound additional. The second subject related to the salaries enjoyed by the parish officers ; the delegates had instituted an in vestigation into those salaries, and had recommended a considerable reduction in their report to the great body of vestrymen, anti the meeting would hear that that report had been treated with disdain and insult, anti that it had been rejected.—(Shame.) The third subject related to the accounts of the Church Trustees, who had refused to submit the detiels of the accounts to the parish auditors, and insisted in only giving the sum total. In conclusion, the Chairman requested a fair and impartial hearing for whoever might address them.—( Hear.) Mr. BLAKEMAN said it was his duty to submit to the meeting the first resolution. The parochial committee had felt it their duty to invite the attention of the parish ioners under circumstances of no ordinary character, and he hoped they would not separate without doing some thing which would tend to their own benefit and that of the parishioners at large. The poor rates had been in creased 4d in the pound—increased at a time when they bad a right to expect there would have been a diminu tion—(Hear, hear)—at a time when the state of the times rendered such an increase the more alarming.— (Hear.) If the delegates of the parishioners had acted upon their own judgment of the conduct of the parties to whom blame attached they would have impugned the conduct of the majority of the Vestrymen, of the Direc tors of the Poor and of the Church Trustees ; but acting on the principle of fair play, they had invited those parties to attend this meeting.—(Hear, bear.) On looking around him, however, he could not perceive one of them, and what, he would ask, was the cause of their absence ? Was it that they felt a degradation in meeting their fellow-men ? He (Mr. Blakeman) would sooner have to deal with aristocrats themselves than with such asses.—(Laughter.) Probably they felt that it was not convenient to attend and attempt to exculpate themselves. Instead, however, of their coming, they had a represen tative in the person of a reporter, who had been sent by the Vestry-clerk (Mr. Scadding) to take notes of the proceedings.—( Cries of "Ah !" " Turn him out !" "No ! no ! fair play !") The meeting would, however, do nothing but what they could justify; and the reporter might go back to his master, and say with what indigna tion the meeting viewed such proceedings. Mr. B then went on to detail the proceedings at the vestry meetings. In June last the parish sent the delegates to the select vestry, for the purpose of correcting abuses and checkine extravagance, and they found, that although they could detect abuses, they were not strong enough to cor rect theta—that forty against eighty were too long odds-- anti that, therefore, their little party were for a time defeated. He used the word " patty," because they were elected and sent there as a party ; and if it should appear that any of them have seceded, and broken faith with the people, anti have joined the party who had so long been offensive to them, the meeting would know how to express its opinion of such conduct. He would now state the cir cumstances under which the rate of 4 , 1. in the pound was imposed. When the delegates first went into the vestry, a cu rious proposiiien was made by the vestry clerk, viz., that as there was a doubt whether the proceedings in the memo rable wealth of May were in accordance with the Vestry Act, both sides should agree to have a friendly suit insti tuted in the King's Bench to decide the point.— (Laughter.) The answer was, that they. the delegates, had acted properly ; and, therefore, let the other party go to law if they pleased. The result was, that no proceed ings were taken. On the 18th of July, a proposition was made for an eighteenpenny rate, and for the purpose of endeavouring to justify such a measure, the vestry clerk was reluctantly ob'iged to lay before the delegates the predicament in which the parish affairs had been placed by the old governors ; the v stry clerk s tid they had overdrawn the parish bankers 110/., that they owed the parish servants, the collectors of the rate, 5001. ter col lecting the ratelevied on the 4th January preceding, and this too in a parish the exchequer of which was annually nearly 7,000/.—(Sliame.) They were then told that th y owed to the county-rate 1,823/, a sum which ought lon g before to have been paid ; and to crown all, tt appeared they were indebted to the new police 4,2921.—(L0ud cries of " Shame, shame.") Those arrears amounted to 6.7251., and on that account that c Bled for an income 0 1 2d. in the pound. The delegates were informed that there were outstanding rates amounting to 6,8361., which it was presumed by the vestry clerk would cover the arrears ; but lie 'nide no allowance for the weekly expen diture which, at 1,400/. wont I amount to 8,4001. before the new rare could be collected. Finding the recommen dation for the rate of 204. in the pound to come keno the , Directors of the poor—finding that, at the meeting of the Directors recommending it, there were only eight in dividuals present, and the Vicar in the chair,—(Loud laughter, and cries of edisapprobation,)—who, in his (Mr B.'s) judgment, had much better devote himself to his spiritual duties, and leave the parish matters to be guided by those more competent' (for he had a strong dislike to political Parsons) ; the delegates proproed and carried a resolution to appoint a committee to ascer tain whether a 20d. rate was necessary—(Cheers)—and to inquire into the salaries of the officers, and the duties they had to perform. That committee s-it for months, and gave their fullest time ,rl.l attention to the subject, and at last tn+cle a repo.t which was rejected. Although reductions to the amount of 1,8001. a year were recommended, the report was scouted, aud they wet e unable to do anything.—(Shame, shame.) On the 8 h August, the Committee that had been appointed respect ing the amount of rate that was necessary, recom mended that 18(1. in the pound only would be requited. That arneunt was 2,1. less than the Directors asked. They were given, upon the recommendation of the Com mittee, Is tid. in the pound, by which they would have an exchequer of upwards of 30,0001., which, together with what they had admitted to be good arrears, would amount to about 36,8001 , for the support of the parish front the month of August to the present time; such being the case, he would ask time meeting what they thought was the situation in which the parish now stood ? How the directors had expended the money which had been raised he could not tell, the vestry not having the management of the parish affairs or funds. It was true the parish had one hundred and twenty vestrymen, and he (Mr. B.) hoped that in a short time it would have 120 vestrymen of its own choosing. The public purse of the parish was under the control of 40 Directors of the Poor, a term he (Mr. B.) hated, thinking it would a ppear much better as applied to a slave-driver than to one of the officers of a great parish like St. Pancras. However stron g the previous part of his statement had been, those he had to make were much stronger, and he felt convinced that the meeting would hardly believe the statement when he made it.---(Hear, hear.) With an exchequer of upwards of 36,000/ for a halt year's expenditure the parish was greatly in debt with their bankers. He found, that at the close of yesterday the parish could not have 6001. in their bankers' hands, if all the cheques which had been drawn by the Directors had been paid. H e found that on the 11th of Sept. the Direc tore had borrowed 3,000/. from the bankers ; on the 31st of the same month 6 5001. had been borrowed.—(Shaine.) And on the Ist of January in the present year 1,0001. had been borrowed, and at the present moment, however start ling might be the fact, the parish was in debt to the , and the rate wa s pl e d ge d f or t h at "What has it been spent in ? _p of we suppose.") Th e meet i ng m i g h t a t bankers h. feasting, we well ask for what the money had bean expended ; he, however, could not tell them. Probably, if the Directors were asked, and he was sorry that none were present, they would say that on the 11th of De- cember they paid the arrear of the County Rate -3,6741. ; that on the 31st they paid up the Police Rate, and a fine arrear it was truly ; in the month of July it exceeded 4,292/, and on the 31st December had increased to the enormous sum of 7,2921.—(5hame.) How that had taken place he could not tell. Such facts as these, he trusted, would fully convince the meeting that it was utterly impossible to carry on the affairs of the parish proper!, with such persons as had hitherto been at the head of it,and he trusted, therefore, in May next the pat ishioners would mark their opinions of the conduct that bad been pursued.—(Cries of "We will.") If they did so they would find the expenses of the parish materially diminished. It was absurd to suppose, in an opulent parish like Pancras, a poor rate of 3s. Bd. in the pound for the year WAS necessary for parish purposes. He would not go farther : in this country it unfortunately hap. pened that the greatest truth was the greatest libel. If, therefore, he had fallen short of speaking of parties as they deserved, it was on that account he left the meeting to draw their own conclusion, feeling convinced they would he upset. He could not omit to state that one of the charges on the account for half a-year was 99/. for leeches.—(Shame, shame, and cries of " They ought to have had them put on their hicks.") The worthy gentle man concluded an excellent speech by proposing the fol. lowing resolution " That this meeting learn with surprise and dis• pleasure the intended incr., ase of the poor rate of four pence in the p.iund for the current half year, and regret that the old vestry should h ive so unwisely conducted the parochial affairs as to render such increase requisite to preserve the character of the parish, and to liquidate the heavy arrears of the police and County Rate occasioned by their imprudent management. Mr. COOKK seconded the resolution, which was carried unanirnou•ly. Mr. MURPHY TM to propose the 2d resolution, and was speaking when our reporter left. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

THE riANt OF ENGLAND. The hearing of " Leith v. Irvine," which has occupied two or three whole days, was interrupted by an applies tion in this case for an injunction. Mr. Prrrs appeared for Messrs. Harris, who are the assignees of Matthie and Co., bankrupts, who carried on t? business at Liverpool. The facts have been fully brought. before the public upon the recent discussions of the cage tie Vice-Chancellor's Court, therefore it is unnecessary oZ. detail them all now. About 9,000 dollars had been home from the Brazils by one of the Matthies and by William B. Cotter, in the Rinaldo and Swallow, to be deposited in the Bank of England in the names and fur the respective shippers. When Matthie arrived here he fund a cemmission of bankruptcy had been issued aeainst him and his house, consequently he could lay no claim to his share of the dollars. It was supposed that Cotter '.ad only been made the nominal proprietor of the bullion, that in point of fact it was all Mattbie's that Cotter's name bad only been used to cover a fraud, and that he was to be a trustee for Matthie ; therefore the plaintiffs aop!ied erparte to his Honou r for an injunction to restrain the Bank of England from parting with the bullion to Mr. Cotter. The injunction issued. but was afterwards dis solved upon the answer coming in. Application was instanter made to th;s branch of the Court to ave the injunction renewed. His Lordship could not hear the motion then, but directed that the Bank !slaoil.l not part with the money till today—hence the application this morning. Mr P. pys stated, that since the case was br f re hi , Honour the plaintiff+ had amended their bill for the perpose of being able to bring forward the new evidence of c stain letters; but as the affidavit in support of that evittence was only filed this morning, S r Edward Sugden objected, and Mr. P pys was put to open the to tion on the o d bill, and upon the evidence that was in the Court below. The Lord Chancellor, how ever, considered it so important that his mind should ha A isfied upon whether the letters ought now to be let in or not, and he directed the case to stand over till to morrow morning, that he might have the opportunity of looking iota authorities. His Lordship o. served, that if he let in these letters, then be would have to give time to the o her side to answer the new evidence if tiny could, and that in that case he certainly would not continue to detain the hul ion in the bank's hands ad interim, but let it go upon Mr. Cotter's giving security, becau-e the Mer cantile existence of a inan might be destroyed, by locking up a large sum, even for a very short time, by the in junction of this Court BRIGHTON, JAN. 22. Their MAJESTIES continue to enjoy uninterrupted good health and spirits at their Marine Palace. Yesterday afternoon the KING drove out in a carriage and four, with two outriders, to near Shoreham, and back to the Palace, accompanied by Miss D'EsrE. The QUEEN did not take her usual equestrian exerci,e yesterday. Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLAEENCE and the Doke of DORSET arrived last evening at the Palace, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. The Earl and Countess of MUNSTER continue at the Palace, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. The Princess AUGU.TA drove and walked' yes.erday through various parts of the town, accompanied by Lady MARY TAYLOR. Prince GEORGE rode out on horseback, accompanied by Lord FITZCLARENCE, for nearly two hours. Vice Admiral OTWAY, Lieut.-Cdonel DRUMMOND, and Lieut.-Colonel AITCHISON, had audience of the KING yesterday. The guests invited to the Royal table last evening were, the Duke of DORSET, Lord and Lady ROBERT GROSVENOR, Lord DECIES, Hou. Miss BERESFORD, Lord and Lady BERESFORD, Mr. and Mrs. MELVILLE WILSON, Sir HARRY and Lady NEALE, Lord ARTHUR HILL, Count DONHOFF, the Earl and Countess of MUNSTER, and the suite and household. Amongst the numerous persons of rank and fashion who had the honour of paying their respects to Royalty yesterday, were Lord DE Roos, Marchioness CHOLMON DELEY, Earl Of CHICHESTER, Sir D. and Lady GOULD, and Mr. CAMPBELL. A meeting, convened by the High Constable, will be held to-morrow here, for the purpose of taking into consi. deration the most effectual ►nears of enforcing a more rigid observance of the Stobath-day. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—ln your report of the Meeting at Guildhall on Nfonday, there is an error which you will oblige me in correcting.. In what is stated to have fallen from myself, I am made to speak as follows :—" What do you think of Stafford (where I happened to be at the time of the election, and) where men were notoriously bought on the first day at the rate of from I/. to 101. a-piece ; and, on the last day, they were bought—and by whom ? Aye, by whom were they bought? by a German—(Name)—.it is a queur Ger. man kind of a name, however—it was a fellow whose face was covered with hair ; and he bought them at 10/., 151., and 20/. a-piece !" The fact is that on that day, I happened to be at IVOI. verhampton as a candidate for that borough. Now if the words contained within the above 'Jaren thesis had been omitted, your statement would have been correct. It is perfectly notorious to every man in Statiqrd, that the statement made by me at the meeting (with the excep 'ion alluded to) is undeniably true. This trifling error is not to he wondered at when it is considered with what extraordinary despatch the report was made, yours being the only Evening Paper that pub lished the important proceedings of that day. As your Paper is much read in Wolverhampton, I am sure you will not refuse insertion to this explanation. Your must obedient Servant, JOHN NICHOLSON. Fenchurch-street, 23d Jan., 18 .3. ORDIALITY AMONGST THE CONSERVA. nvEs.—HEAD4;OFFICE..-.-On Thursday peace-officer Ruin, of this establishment, took into custody Captain Cornsin HAM, of Conservative fame, under a warrant from Alderman DA RLEY, for having called on Captain EDWARD \IA YN E to fight a duel.

We understand the affair will not rest here.—Dablin Express. The packet ship Virginia, which sailed from New York on the 24. h ult., was off the Welsh coast on 11 , inday ; the wind was blowing from the eastward, but she would, it was expected, work into Liverpool on Tote., day. Important intelligence from the United States le x t rected by this packet. A notion has been for some time prevalent here that the change which has lately taken place in the Government of Spain would Jrad to some new and early arrangem,nt with the creditors under the Cot tea he ins, who are now entering the tenth year of their unsatisfied cia ma; but though the accounts from Madrid have been looked for with much eagerness for indications of such a return to honourable conduct, they have not as yet fur nished anything of a positive nature. It is not, however, to be c , ncluded too hastily from such absence of inininia tion that nothing of the kind is in contemplation. Thee are two approved methods, where great operatio ,s in money matters are in question, in which the speculators act ; one of which is by exaggerating the importance and security of them ; the other, by concealing what they really know, and, so far as thy public are concerned, it comes nearly io the same thing, whether too high a price is paid for the security or it is parted with below it, real value. Those capitalists, therefore, who may have to engage in an ex, tensive financial arrangement with Spain would prohal A hr be politic enough to conceal them until they tire ripe for execution, as that would enable them to buy up on better terms the debt intended to be cancelled. It is impossible, to say, in the absence of all information, whether thisi 14 the ease in regard to the Cortes loan, but the holders have to reflect that the time cannot be far distant whet% their claims must be met in some degree of fairness, and th a stigma removed from the Spanish Government. We ha a frequent applications from correspondents on this mini a, and requesting us to inculcate on the original holders of the bonds on no account to part with them at this junc ture. These have induced us now to advert to the ques tion, and to describe what the real situation is of the holders of the Cortes bonds. There is not, however, ac cording to the best information that can be obtained, any negotiation yet entered into for the satisfaction of their claims. Those who were the original subscribers to the loans, and have held their stock up to this tina.., ar e not likely now to throw away the chance that remains; as for the mere speculators in them, their interests are a matter of very minor consideration.-- Times.
