PORTUGAL. (From the Times Correspondent.) Llssow, Nov 30.—N0 event of any moment has oc• curred during this week, and attention has been wholly engrossed by the sudden departure of Colonel Hare to Don Miguel's head-quarters (as was said), which mission was expected to be attended with some success, as the Spanish Commissioner, B iron de Rumford, had already (in conse quence of the projected mediation of the Court of Madrid) returned to Santarem, which he bad left with M. Cor dova; but I am sorry to say that up to this date Colonel Hare has not quitted Cartaxo, and front all I could learn is not likely to go beyond, as I am informed (on good authority) that Don Miguel will receive with great indif ference any overture of peace which carries within itself his departure from Portugal, particularly if it should not be made a preliminary that Iris brother Dim Pedro should also quit this country, to which latter condition it will require a clever diplomatist to get the Emperor to consent, —nothing, I am convinced, but a great reverse of arms, which I hope will not take place, or foreign armed inter vention, will persuade the Emperor to give tip the Regency before the Queen comes of age; and besides this obstacle, 1 have every reason to believe that the Minister for Foreign Affairs is not sincere in the peaceable professions he is daily making to Lord William Russel!, and that they are only made in the hope that Don Miguel will refuse, and then draw the blame on him. On the 26th his Imperial Majesty left for Cartaxo, but before starting had the kindness to present the Duke of Terceira with a golden star (placar). On the 28th his Majesty returned from the army, highly satisfied with the brilliant state the troops were in, as well as with the reports of the disorder and want that reign in the enemy's camp. The desertions from Don Miguel continue on an in creased scale, and some prisoners are made on the different points where cur troops are. Reports of a change in the Administration are still pro pagated, but with no more foundation than before. The letter of the Conde da Taipa has certainly had a contrary effect to what he expected, as it has mat , rially strengthened the political existence of the present Minis ters, who did not fear to proclaim a censorship, in spite of the constitution, destroying thus the liberty of the press, one of the mo't viral instituti.rns of a free country. From Spun no further news; Don Carlos could not enter Braganza, and I have reason to believe that he intends em barking off the coast of Portugal for Whoa on the 8d of December. DECEMBER 3.—On the Ist the Confiance steamer arrived, after a heavy and dangerous passage. The Cap— tain put in at Vigo, where it was reported that two ships of war are to be sent to cruise on the Miguelite coast, to intercept Don Carlos, in case he should attempt to embark. Lord William Russell paid his compliments to his Ma jesty on the evening of the 2d. His Lordship is making preparations for his departure, as he expects his successor at the end of this month. From Colonel Hare we hear nothing further ; he is still at Cartaxo. The succtesful events of the Cape de Verd Nand* has induced Government to fit nut an expedition for Madeira, soon to rail, and from which the hest hopes are entertained. (From the Lisbon Papers.) LISBON, Nov. 25.—The following official communica tions have been received by the Minister of the Interior today, 25th November :—.. The Juiz da Fora of Alcobaca write., on the 23d, that the town and district enjoyed perfect tranquillity, and the inhabitants constantly showed their fidelity and enthusiasm in the Constitutional elute. The Corregidor of the Camarca of Rioa Fijo writes, on the 24th, to the same effect, and adds, that be had learned from some prisoners taken from the rebels that they were discontented and discouraged in consequence of the many privations which they suffered, and that they were so fearful, that whenever they observed any motion in the liberating army they immediately loaded their bag gage, in order to carry it to a place of safety. The Corregidor of Alemquer gives, on the 24th, a very satisfactory account of the tranquillity of his district. The Jdz da Fora of Azeitan writes on the 23d, that in the preceding night the 21st Regiment had passed through that town, on its way from Almada to Setubal (St. Übes), and that the rebels had not advanced from their positions. The Juiz da Fora of Aldea Gallega writes on the 24th that perfect tranquillity and good order prevailed in the whole of his district, with the most entire obedience to the legitimate Government of the Queen; that the rebels in that quarter had not made any, important movement; that those who passed from the nosh remained between Salvatierra and Almeirim, where the Infante Don Miguel often passes the night, almost always disguised; that they are in great want of flour; that 60 cavalry soldiers had arrived at Vendas-Nov is, who said they came from Alca cer, and that they did not know their destination ; that the militia of the district which garrisoned Montemor was gone to Morvao, as it was said for a punishmen., and that an irregular fo.ce, which was at Cunha, was gone to Montemor. NOVEMBER 27.—The Minister of War has appointed a eommission to regulate and settle the claims of some foreign officers who are going to return to their own country, .fcer having been for more or less time in the service of Dorms Maria 11. We I,arn, by a telegraphic despatch, that the country people in the vicinity of Santarem take many of the enemy pri.oners. NOVEMBER 28.—The telegraph announces the arrival of the Duke of Braganza at the army in good health. We have to communicate the happy intelligence that the Legitimate Government of her Most Faithful Mijesty Donna Maria, and of the Constitutional charter has been proclaimed with the greatest enthusiasm in the Cape de Verd Islands, the inhabitants of which, during the whole time of the usurpation, have always manifested the great est horror of the tyrannical government of the tyrant of Portugal. NOVEMBER 29.—The Corregidor of Setubal writes on . the 26th, that tranquillity still prevailed in that town, and that the additional works were continued, and that it was supposed by military persons that they would he impregnable if they were furnished with rather more artil lery ; the 21st regiment arrived there on Saturday. The Jtfzes ea Fora of Aldea GaPetra, Santarem (writing from C trtaxo), of Obidos, Riba njo, and Villa Franca, give equally favourable account•. Nov. 30.—Among the persons to whom his Majesty gave audience was the Consul-General of Brazil. A Captain and a Lieutenant of the Royalists, twenty soldiers of the militia, and nine of the line, one of them with his horse and arms, deserted from the enemy. Dec. I.—(Telegraphic News).—On the SOtft of No vember six soldiers, belonging to different corps of the enemy, came to the head quarters at Seiceira. On the same day our cavalry went to the Villa da Ga• legs, and took prisoners a Major, a Captain, three En signs, and 36 privates. Oa the Isr, seventeen deserters from the enemy, twelve of whom were horsemen, with their bones and arms, came to the head-quarters; one of them came from peimbra. On Saturday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the pre fect of the province of Estremadura had, at the office of the Minister of Justice, a conference with all the Minis ters, at which it is supposed that matters of great im portance were discussed. _ Drc. 2.—To•day being the anniversary of the birth day of his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro IL. Emperor of Brazil, their Majesties received the congratulations of the Ministers of State, and numerous persona of distinction. The Chronica contains a decree of the Duke of Bra gauss, Regent of the kingdom in the name of the Queen, and acting as her father and guardian to regulate her Royal Howell()Id. VILLA FRANCA, Dac. I.—The rebels have laid bridges over the Tagil', which seems to indicate an intention of passing the river to Alem•ejo. In Alcobaca we have phove 1,000 men in arms ; the rebels do not venture a Deep beyond Leyria, where, we learn from good autho rity, they have hardly 700 men, and only 30 horse; the remainder are militia and guerillas. At Coimbra there are only a few militiamen, badly c'othed and without shoes. SETUBAL, Dac. I.—The rebels at Alcacer do not talk of coming hither ; they know of our fortifications, and are afraid of them. They are, however, placing cannon and digging trenches in the streets of Alcacer, which show, an intention of maintaining their position. The rebel force at Vendas Novas has made no movement, and it is even said that Brigadier Lemod, who was there three days ago, is gone to Elvas. We learn that at the moment of his departure be said tha t he was going t o f etc h artillery and some more troops to attack this place on the day of Noss Senhora da Conceicao, and then to march against Lisbon. Such is the folly of the soldiers that many o f them are convinced that this is possible, and anticipate the pleasures of victory. Our works proceed with the greatest diligence. Same artillery and above 20 students have arrived. —Lisbon Chromica to the 3d of DecAnber inclusive.

DEC. 3 . —Lieutenant-General Von Henaber, of the Hanoverian service, member of the Military Commission of the German Diet, died suddenly in this city last night. BERNE, Nov. 28.—The Government has really or dered the Poles to quit the canton wi.hin a fortnight ; if they do not they are mad,.. responsible for all the conse quences of their longer stay. The President of the central Committee is, however, making great exertions to have this resolution annulled ; and it is believed that his influ ence will enable him to succeed. VIENNA, Nor. 26.—His Majesty the Emperor has not yet entirely recovered from the effects of the fall from his borate in the camp at Faras. The swelling in the leg is indeed reduced, but his Majesty still suffers from rheumatic pains, and is often obliged to keep his bed, for which reason there have not yet been any public audiences. The advocate Guibourz, one of the companions of the Duchess of Berry, has been for some days plat at Vienna. The Duchess herself is said to be at Leobin, but it is diffi cult to learn anything certain respecting her present, and still more her future place of abode. The little disturbance at Erlau has been long since appeased, and has not found imitators in any part of the country. Deux Powrs, Nov 28.—Yesterday the objection made by Dr. Watt to the Members of the Court of Appeal, removed from Bavaria to the Council of the Rhine, was overruled by the Court of Appeal here. To-day he was summoned, but did not appear, it is said on account of ill health.—Frankfort Papers, Dec. 5. NUREMIURG, DEC. 2.—Ac, ording to the new tariff the import and export duties are diminished, with a few exception., such as copper, paper, and paper hangings, the import duty on which is a little augmented. The transit duties are considerably diminished, especially on goods imported on the left bank of the Rhine, on the Rhine, and on the right hank of the Rhine from Frede riekehapen to Pusan's, in Bavaria, and rice versa. The Elbe toll is raised from 13 groscbe❑ to 13 groscben 8 pfennig on the whole course of the river, from the frontiers next the kingdom of Saxony to the frontiers, of Hanover and Mecklenburg.—Nuremberg Correspondent, Dec. 3. CONSTANTIN'OPLE, NOV. 11. —Another fire broke out in the night of the 31 inst., which was soon extinguished, but it affords the melancholy proof that incendiaries are still at work. Measures of precaution have been resorted to. The ci•d%vant Grand Vizir Redachid Mehemet! Paella, is ❑amed Governor of Sivas. The office of steward of the arsenals is abo'ished. Colonel Bodberg, appointed by Russia to arrange the affairs of Servia, is gone to St. Petersburgli. The recalled Pacha of Emir Pacha is here. Letters from Alexandria of the 4th inst. announce that Mehemed Ali has commissioned four banking houses to pay five millions of piastres (five hundred thousand florins canventional money) to the Porte. This is only one year's tribute due from the Pachalic of Egypt. It is well known, however, that there is still one year in arrear, as well as the tribute of the newly acquired provinces twenty millions per year, of which two years are due, which Mehemet Ali refuses to pay. It is not known from which of these two accounts the sum now paid is intended. Many conjectures are formed on the subject. We have no news from Candia. Opposition to the Porte increases in Samos, and the opinion is, that it is stirred up by foreign emissaries. VIENNA, Nov. 30.—Five per Cent Metalliques 93 25.32. Four per Cent. 83 3-32.

Leely, Pisani, and Cohorn, had arrived in the isle of Samon, o❑ board the French ship of the line Ville de Marseille. Thee,. delegates made known to the inhabitants that they had overtures of importance to make to them, and requested, in consequence, all the principal persons of the island might be assembled together, without excluding the jour neymen and labourers that might wish to atti•nd, as it was tLeir desire to give all possible publicity to their proceed ings. A meeting was appointed for the 3d October, at Vathi. Little goof was expected from it.

The observers of the course of events, and of the relation of the several estates, attach some importance to the Marshal's visit; they consider him not only as the Ambassador to the Russian Court, hut as the able and successful mediator between two divergent systems, whom the present French Ministry very judiciously sent first to Vienna, and then appointed to go to St. Peter-burgh, and now causes to stop for a time at Berlin, in order to act in the same spirit as their organ, with the coalition which now more or less opposes the projects of France, and its present connection with England. The Marshal, with • big - chivalrous ,senrimeuts, and seconded by tl,e respect a hich his military reputation as well as his diplo matic talents merit, is as well qualified for this im portant post as Prince Tilleyrand is (or was) for that of Ambassador in England. The present exchange of ideas, which took place last summer at Toplitz between ' a great number of distinguished statesmen from almost all ' the countries of Europe, whose intercourse was founded 'on mutual esteem, has contributed (as a person very high in office his observed) more effectually to the picificaiiiin of Europe than all the projects for disarming. Only an other such summer, and not another cannon shot will be beard in our part of the world. The light of knowledge appears in the snore splendour the clearly it shows us the means of attaining the obj.cts desired without tie use of gunpowder, anti in future ages war will be known only among savage nations. The j wine); of Count Wittgenstein to Russia, which his been already announced, has lately been reported in the higher circles to he connected with the summons of Count Paskewitsch to St. Peter-burgh. The ree,ll of M. Ribempierre is presumed to he also connected with these circumstances, and with a change in the Government at Warsaw. DANTZIC, Nov. 24.—The thiid and last ves&A with the Polish refugees sailed on the 22d. A few days before some young women of the suburbs where the Poles were in barracks requested also to go to America; this was granted, on condition of their being previously married to the men whom they called their bridegrooms. All parties agreed, and the ceremony was performed in the Catholic Chapel in Dantzic. EXCHANGES ON LONDON. HAMBURG, Dec 3.-13 8; two months, 13 0%. BERLIN. Nor. 30.-Three months, 6 24%. ST.

PARIS, DEC. 2.—The 2cl of December This is the anniversary of the battle of Austerli;z, and of the coronation of Napoleon by Pope Pius the S.venth in the Cathedral of Paris. I was present at that grand and imposing c,treinony, and I can even now fincy it passing before my eyes. I can imagine that I still see the Supreme Pontiff, at the head of SO Bishops, ascending the 60 steps of the throne raised in the centre of the church, and proceed to embrace the founder of the new empire. What a scene—l might almost say, what a dream ! and comparing these times, so full of glory, joy, and hope, with those in which a poweiful nation, a Kisg whom the p-ople love, and a Government whom they support, are obliged to battle foot to foot with a mob of unruly schoolboys and factious clubbists, I would ask whether the art of governing was not better understood, even as respects the interests of the citizens themselves, at the period when every successive degree of strength and pp.ver acquired by the Government redoubled its security and increased its popularity, than at the present moment, when the Administration, harassed, outraged, and calum• nieted, is assailed with every species of hostility, and the press, unbounded in its licentiousness, corrupts the public mind, depraves the understanding, and fosters the spirit of faction in the bosom of the country ? Times. I.ONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1833. The French papers of Monday contain news from Madrid to the 2d instant, at which period the capital remained perfectly tran quil, nor was there any further apprehension entertained at Madrid with respect to the fortune of the war. The insurgents had been wholly put down in the northern provinces ; and ihe straggling parties of guerillas would share the same fate as soon as the Qleen's troops could come up with them. It was reported that NI. ZEA had resigned, or was about to be dismissed ; and that Count TORRENO and MARTINEZ DE LA ROSAS were to succeed him. A few days will settle this point. But the immediate reti re ment of M. ZE A was so firmly believed at Paris, that the Spanish Loan could not be effected—and the Spanish Funds fell in consequence : FRENCH FUNDS.—Putts, Dec. 9.

By Frankfort papers, we learn that incendi ary fires still continue at Constantinople. These journals contai❑ no other news of moment. We have news from Lisbon to the 4th, at which period things remained much in the same position as before. We refer to another column for particulars. The Times, which seems well-informed on all matters relative to the affairs of the East, contains another article this morning on the subject of Russia's intrigues against Turkey, by which it would appear that that wily power has at length succeeded in procuring the sur render of Wallachia and Moldavia. This of course will furnish the SULTAN'S, already half revolted, subjects with additional food for dis content, and enable them also to probe the depths of Russian duplicity. " The popular dislike to Russia," says the article in question, " increases every instant, as the schemes of that Power become more and more evident." This tardy disrelish may do something to ward off the evil hour ; it may procrastinate, if it cannot prevent, the fall of the crescent ; but unless Poland rise again in arms, or Finland make a sudden effort to reunite herself to Sweden—. 3 circumstance by no means of unlikely occur rence, or France and Britain speak out with energy, and prepare promptly to follow up their sayings by corresponding doings, the fate of the SULTAN and his dominions is sealed. But we have little faith in the chapter of accidents—absolutely no hope of seeing Turkey saved by a providen tial insurrection in one of the " thousand and one" Russian provinces ; its destiny is in the hands of France and England, and of these two Powers alone, who, however, to do good, most be prepared to resort to extremes, to hazard even a European war, if necessary; for it is not to be supposed that Russia will let go her hold of the hare that she has been hunting down, and fol lowing through all its doubles, from the days of POTEMKIN to the present time, without having the whip laid vigorously upon her haunches. In plainer words, she will not give up Turkey without a struggle, which she thinks France cannot, and England will not, dare to engage in. Our contemporary seems to think that a de nouement is close at hand in Constantinople. " None," he says " can wonder at the general expectation that a few months will bring about great events." Assuredly not. It is the interest of Russia not to delay a moment, but to strike while the iron is hot. Now is the time, or never. A year hence and it may be too late. Poland can never be more thoroughly prostrated than she now is, and the odds are that every month brings such an acces sion of moral strength to her cause as to render it, at no distant period, irresistible. But we have no doubt that Russia has already matured her schemes ; that Prussia and Austria have been bribed or bullied into blinking the ques tion ; and that one fine spring morning, we shall find the SULTAN bow -strung in his Seraglio, Constantinople in arms, and a Russian army in full march for the City of the Faithful, under the plausible pretext of preserving the peace and integrity of the empire. It is a great event in the history of the world, the fall of a mighty empire, which from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century has con stantly kept Europe in hot water ; twice thun dered at the gates of Vienna, and twice menaced all Christendom itself with destruction. In an age teeming with striking vicissitudes, few, none are more impressive than this. Yet it scarcely awakes attention proportioned to its importance. Few seem to know, or to care to know, that at this very hour Turkey is in the last agonies of dissolution. The prosecutions of the Tribune in France, and the question of the Assessed Taxes in England, have created twice as great a stir in the public mind. We subjoin our Contemporary's article, and direct particular attention to that part of it where the conduc t of Russia as respects Persia is alluded to. She is playing, it seems, the same game with the SHAH as with the SULTAN, spreading out her vast arms to draw both within her clutches. A Christian Power—should such a circumsta ,, .ce occur, which is all but impossible —once in pos session of Ispahan and Constantinople, the re gion which for a thousand years past has usurped one third of the world, would not survive the century:— . " CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.-The disorganization of the Turki.h empire proceeds rather rapidly. The accounts from all quarters represent the people as highly discon t.-nterl, and requiring but some bold chief to make some elfin to get rid of the detested Sultan In every district the opposition of the people has produced an excitement which threatens sooner or later to terminate in a revolu. tion. With Russia and Austria on the north—with Mehemet Ali on ti e south—with confusion and disturb ance pervading all the distant provinces from Albania to Bagdad—with the Sultan throwing himself more and more into the arms of Russia, while France and Great Britain are hourly urging the Porte to make some effort on its own behalf—none can wonder at the ,qeneral expectation that a few months will bring about great events in this country. "The reply of the British and French Governments to the official communication of the treaty that closes the Dardanelles at the dens end of aussia is daily expected ; and the presence and increase of the combined equadroos in the Arehipel igo give reason to the discontented Turks to hope that the long-wished-for opportunity is at hand. The popular dislike to Russia increases every instant, as the schemes of that Power become more and more evident. The Sultan places all his reliance in the friendship of the Czar, who, in return, treats him with a great display of kindnesa. Achmet Pacha'a reception on landing in Odessa was most flattering. Magnificent Persian carpets were spread on the pier, and a carriage with eight horses was at hand to convey him to the palace constructed for him in the L zaretto, where he had to perform 14 days' quaran tine prior to his dep irture for St. Petersburgh. Achmet Pacha is instructed by the Sultan to propose a foil and complete surrender to Russia of the principalities of Wal lachia and Moldavia. If Nicholas accept the proposition, how will the Austrians feel on finding the Russian serpent folding itself round the empire? " The latest intelligence from Bagdad represents the Russian influence as equally predominating at the Court of Persia as in Turkey ; for there, too, that overreaching Power has offered troops to keep all quiet, and it has also gained some of the Paellas and influential men on the frontiers, so that its future encroachments may meet with little opposition. The dissatisfied Turks maintain that Russia will have a war, even by forcing France and Eng land to begin it, and that for that purpose the army has been increased in the Crimea, and the fleet at Sebastopol has received six months' provisions. That similar pre• parations on the pact of Russia continue there is ❑o reason to doubt. " The British and French squadrons remain in the Archipelago. They are at present anchored in the bay of Smyrna. It is affirmed that order's have been sent for an addition to the British squadron, and that it will soon consist of three three.derkers, three two-deekers, and two large frigates. The Barham having sustained some injury in her masts, has gone f. , r repairs to Malta. The Done gal and Caledonia are among the expected ships. " The latest news from Egypt is that Mehemet Ali is resolved not to make any warlike attempts doting some time, being occupied in increasing his navy immensely, and in consolidating his system. But as that able chieftain knows how to keep his own secrete, no reliance is placed on his affected disposition for peace." The Leeds Intelligencer, we perceive, con firms the information we spoke of as having reached us yesterday, of an intention, on the part of the Conservatives, to put Mr. SADLER in nomination fur Leeds. We find in it the following paragraph : " In the evening of last Saturday a numerous meeting of the electors who voted for Mr. S idler on the last oc casion, was held, when it was unanimously resolv e d th at immediate steps ought to be taken to promote th e return of an independent Member for Leeds, and a P rov i s i ona l Committee was named, and a day.by.day adjour nment determined on. On Tu-sday a requisition to Mr. Sadler was agreed to, and put in immediate circulation for signa ture ; the district and out-township Committees were re. organised, and an active canvass is already going on in every part of the borough," It surely cannot be that such a make-believe as Mr. SADLER has any better chance with the independent constituency of Leeds than he had when he offered them the insult of soliciting th e ir suffrages just after having declared by his votes that their great interests wanted no express Guardians in the House of Commons. It may be that the excitement occasioned by the first elections under the Reform Act has ill a consi derable degree:subsided, and that, therefore, the Conservatives may hope to make influence have greater weight than principle in the choice of a new representative for the great manufactur ing capital of Leeds ; but still we cannot believe that the Liberals of that opulent town will so stulti‘j themselves as to choose Mr. SADLER to defend their interests and advocate their rights. Let them consider what he has done, what he is likely to do, what the party with whom he is bound up body and soul, desire to do. His sole claim to notice is a loudly trumpeted desire o benefit the condition of the poor. Now, sup posing him to be sincere in this object, which we are willing to suppose, in spite of his eternal canting about it, in what does he surpass a thousand others ? Mr. SADLER will not surely claim merit for not being one of those who " Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame." The main difference between him, and twenty better men that the Leeds people could readily lay their hands upon, is that he has been more loud in proclaiming his quack nostrums, than others have been in urging measures which they trusted their own worth would recommend to the attention of the public. Perhaps Mr. SADLER may talk of Ireland, and his advocacy of poor laws for that country, but in what does he excel others, even upon this point ? There are few men not now convinced that something must be done to restore the degraded peasantry of that fine island to their proper rank in society; and that whatever measures are adopted, one of them must contain some plan that will have the double effect of giving the people employment, and compelling, whilst it enables, the landlords of Ireland to discharge their social duties with out the probability of having their throats cut, or their houses burnt over their heads. What the plan ought to be that is to have this effect, nothing but the soundest judgment presiding over the most deliberate consideration can deter mine. It requires no ghost to tell us that Mr. SADLER has anything but a sound judgment. He has some industry, and this has enabled him to collect a number of facts which he has packed up into volumes ; but he is about as capable of sound reasoning upon them as are the boards in which they are bound. As we dare say there are not many of our readers who have put themselves to the penance of reading Mr. SAD LER's works, we will mention a specimen of his reasoning powers. Having noticed from the population returns of different European coun tries, that in the more densely peopled States, such as England and Holland, the number of births was not as great as in countries less peopled, what is the inference, does the reader think, this would-be legislator draws ?—That the po pulation being dense in England and Holland, and the difficulty of procuring subsistence greater than in America, so many people do not marry, or marry later, or have, as Mr. CORBETT says, " lengthy courtships" ? Not at all. He at once jumps to the rational conclusion that Providence proportions the number of births according to the number of inhabitants to the square mile, causing fertility in the thinly populated coun tries, and degrees of barrenness in thickly peo pled countries. Whatever may be a man's charitable feelings, if he holds one such opinion as this he proves his own unfitness to legislate, for the relief of the misery he laments. As we are more particularly addressing ourselves to the people of Leeds, we would remind the great woollen-manufacturers of that town of the conduct pursued by the party to which Mr. SADLER belongs, when the to them vital ques tion of lowering the duty on foreign wool was agitated. The Administration was at the time a mixed one, but fortunately liusxissoN's influence in commercial matters was predominant. The duty on foreign wool, which had excluded in a great degree that article from our markets, which had forced it upon the manufacturers of the Continent, and enabled them to establish and consolidate the manufactories which are now competing with our own, this duty, we say, tinder the rising spirit of free trade was re duced. But what said the NEWCASTL ES, the LONDONDERRIES, and others, now dis tinguished as corn law advocates, or Sadler ites ? Why, they said, " give protection to our own wool ; the admission of foreign wool will ruin the English landlord and farmer, and so destroy the manufacturer's best market, &c." There are still men selfish and stupid enough to use the same arguments in the case of corn, but we cannot, we will not, suppose that Leeds, the seat of the woollen manufacture, will send to Parliament a man who can hold them to be sound in any case. Should it send Mr. SADLER to Parliament it will deserve to have applied to it literally the proverb of " a grew cry and little wool." MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)

This appeal bore the title of "Reftaiones sobre el derecho de la Infanta Donna Maria Isahelia Luisa al trono de Espana:" and it is said to have demonstrated by refer ence to historical precedent. that, according to the recog nised laws and usages of Spain during the last 800 years, the eldest sons of the Sovereign, or, in their default, the eldest rlaughters have inherited the royal sceptre. The instances in point are Donna Sancha de 'Leon . , Donna Urraca (daughter of Alphonso VI., who declared her his successor in the presence of the grandees of the kingdom), Donna Bereguela, daughter of Alphonso VIII., Donna Isabella the Catholic, and Donna Juana, her daughter. All these princessis were invested with, and exerci.ed the prerog itives and power of full sovereignty. It was only by virtue of the nonexistence of the eilique law in Spain that Philip V. mounted the throne ; it tell to him as the natural heir to the rights of his ancestress, Maria Theresa of Austri s.

Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTiC . and a Common Jury.) DOORMAN V. JENKINS. This was an action to recover the cuts of 321. 10s. The SOLICITOR-GENSRAL and MC. RICHARDS Can' ducted the case for the plaintiff; and Sir JAMES SCAte LETT and Mr. COMYN that for the defendant. The circumstances of the case were briefly these :—Th e plaintiff was in the practice of frequenting the Anetiot, Mart Coffee-house, of which the defendant was the (anti' lord, and transacting his business there. Having a bill for 321. 10s. becoming due on Mon lay, the 23d July, ISS 2 ' which would be presented at the Coffee-house for p a yment , and intending to get out of town, be on the Saturday pr e eiousli left the 321. 10s. in the defendant's hands, requestingbo; to pay the bill w h en i t was presente d. Th e defendant the money into his cash box, in which was 2071. o f hill own money. On the intervening Sunday, however, . 031 cash box was stolen with the whole 23W. 10s., and 0 ° the bill being presented on the Monday, the answer WO " that Mr. Jenkins was not there, and there were 00 orders." The plaintiff then brought the present actio n to recover the 321. 10s. on the ground of alleged carele o ' ness on the part of the defendant, by which the money vii' lost. It was also stated that the tap room in which 0 5 the bar whence the money was stolen was not like as ordinary tap room, but was frequented by very respectabl e persons. As a cir cums t ance on t h e part o f t h e plaint ill'e case it was stated that at the period of the alleged robber,' the defendant kept no banking account, but that shoal,' afterwards, viz., on the 4,th of August, he opened a" account with Jones, Lloyd, and Co., and paid in 100/. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, for the defendant, submitted that there was no case to go to the jury. There was no p r oof of negligence; on the contrary, it appeared that th e de fendant bad taken the same care of the money as he did of his own, and that he was robbed of the whole at the same time. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended that there was prima facie case, which called on the defendant fur as answer. 11i3 LORDSHIP thought it was a question for the jury. Sfr JAMES SCARLETT then addressed the jury, contend .. ing that the defendant, in being asked to take charge of money, without remuneration, to pry a particular bill, was nut required to take more care of it than of his own i money ; and, theref o r e , if reasona bl e care were ta k en, as t appeared in this case, the defendant was not liable to make good the loss. - His LORDSHIP, in his address to the jury, said it was not enough for a man to say that he had taken the semi care of his friend's money as of his own, and that that was an answer to an action ; because a man might lose till own and his friend's money when he was drunk, and that would make him !fable. It was for the jury to say whether, under all the circumstances, the defendant had taken ordi nary ca , e of the money. The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 321. 10s. THE KING V. BOWMAN. This was an indictment at the instance of Mr. William Elton, a Blackwell-hall factor, charging the defendant, Mr. Thomas Bowman, a merchant and underwriter in Botolph- lane, with fraudulently obtaining 576 b o xes of or,inges and lemons, which had been consigned in 1829 by Abraham Bensoni, of St. Michael's, per the schooner 'William, Bartholomew Carlisle msster, to the pro• ecutor. Sir J. SCARLETT having stated the case to the Jury, called the following witnesses Mr. Bartholomew Carlisle said he was master of the schooner William. In 1829 he sailed for St. Michael's, under the orders of the d e f en d an t. H e there rece i ve d a cargo from Mr. B e ns o ni (th e bill o f l a di ng was put ; that was signed by wit ness , an d h e lftit at St. Michael's,He signed three.

It was for a cargo of 576 boxes of oranges and lemons, and consigned to the prose cutor. Witness continued—ln April he arrived in the port of Loudon and brought his vessel to Cox's Quay. li e had scarcely arrived there when the defendant c ane on b oar d andcame into the cabin. Witness said the cargo was consigned to Mr. W. Elton, and that he ha I got out of St. Michael's th fore the other ves.el, the Speedy, which had a cargo on board for the defendant. The defendant s.tid he would take witness's citrgo for Mr. Elton, and that tie was authoriz ty Mr. Elton to take the cargo. Witness gave the packet of letters to Mr. Wood. who was Mr. Bosvusan's partner. Mr. Wood went with witness to enter the cargo as Mr. Bowman ' s broker and partner as witness supposed.—(Th e entry produced.)—That was. the entry witness signed at the Custom-house in Mr. Wood's presence. The defendant was not there then. Mr. Wood drew out the entry. The package of letters was delivered to Mr. Wood to take to Mr. Elton.
