PORTUGAL. (From the Morning Herald.) PAT2IfOUTH, I i P.m., Nov. 6.—The Pantaloon brig-of-war, Lieutenant Dacres, has just arrived here from Portugal ; she sailed from Lisbon on the 27th inst., and from Oporto on the 30th, with mails. The information by this arrival is still of an 'indecisive character. The Miguelite army occupied Santarem ; the Constitutional forces were encamped outside the fortifications of that town—it was thought to be doubtful whether or not the latter would attack their opponents in their strong hold ; •t all events, it was believed they would succeed in cutting off their supplies. Miguel had retired to Elvas. The greater parr of the Queen's troops had marched out of the capital, commanded by the Duke of Terceira and Count Saldanha, to co-operate, witls the view of the dispersion of the Royalists. A re port was circulated in Li-bon, on the departure of the Pantaloon, that Coimbra had declared for the young Queen; but such an announcement had not been made in any official shape. From Oporto there is but little newt. The guerillas continued to infest the neighbourhood, and proved a continual source of annoyance. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON. OCT 26.—Since my last communica tion no affair of any moment has taken place be tween the two contending armies. The Miguelites though they appeared at first to intend pushing o n to Abrantes, have taken up, and still preserve, ;..eir position in Santarem. In the meantime Don ?edro's troops have cut off as much es possible their means of obtaining supplies, as well as their ability to make an easy retreat. At first, indeed, a party of the enemy, consisting both of horse and foot, with three pieces of artillery, reached Al meirim, on the south side of the Tagus, whence they proceeded to the vicinity of Salvaterra, where were stationed some gun-boats belonging to Don Pedro ; on these they opened a smart fire, and suc ceeded in destroying two, which could not be got off for want of sufficient depth of water, and five or six men were killed. Since this no further attempt has been made on that side. It is questionable whether Don Miguel will not, in a few days, have great reason to repent shutting himself up thus in the town he now occupies. It is ex tremely difficult of access, but the season of the year makes his situation very hazardous, unless, indeed, his supplies were exceedingly abundant, which there is pretty good evidence to believe is not the case. Neither does it appear that he has much, or indeed anything to depend upon in the good-will of the people of the provinces, either in his own immediate neighbourhood, or at a greater distance, for everywhere defect and defeat stare him in the face. It was the general opinion, till within this day or two, that Don Pedro intended making a vigorous attack upon the town ; but the almost inaccessible situation of the place, the ad vanced state of the season, which lays great part of the country under water, present additional im pediments both to his supplies and to his safe retreat. The disposition of the people in the Pro vinces, so lately manifested in various towns in favour of the Constitutional cause, and the known e :tual want of the necessaries of life under which s,ta Aliguelites now labour, seem to be con6dera ,is which have induced the besiegers to avoid an unnecessary waste of blood, arid adopt the method of endeavouring to make them yield through dis tress, or force them by the same means to hazard a desperate, and, to themselves, highly disadvan tageous, retreat from the place. It has been an opinion too currently entertained that the mass of the country people were disposed in favour of INliguel and his absolute Government, and even the ready reception of the troops of the Duke of Terceira in Algarve and Alemtejo was thought by many to be nothing but the effect im posed by an armed force suddenly and unexpectedly appearing among a defenceless people. Within these few days, however, towns and populations, where there was little or no armed force either to encourage on the one hand or overcome on the other, have spontaneously declared in favour of the legiti mate government of Donna Maria, and wanting suf ficient troops, the people themselves have voluntarily sought arms to defend their rights and recover their long•lost liberty. On the 24th instant intelligence leached town from the Governor of Alcobaga, stating that sixty soldiers and other armed men pre sented themselves to him to demand assistance; they had fled from Leiria, where they had spiked the guns and raised the cry in favour of the Constitution. These soldiers were part of the garrison of that place ; the Governor of Alcohaga reinforced them with addi tional troops, and marched upon Leiria. Here, then, is an instance where part of the troops and the people joined together in the cause of freedom. On the 22d instant, which must be about the same time, a small town called Porto de Moe, midway between Leiria and Santarem, and where there were no troops, declared for Donna Maria. The people armed themselves as well as they could and many ran to join the troops of Alcobaga ; the same thing has happened at Obidos and other places. We also hear that Coimbra and the neighbouring country had declared for the Constitution. More to the south where these events are not yet known, and re the detestable Miguelite guerilla parties still rob and t , , , nress the peopit :he constitutional arms have very la,ol v been hi v i,iy on the 11th at Lagos te, iss,guelite robbers suffered a great defeat, and on the 15th at St. Jago de Cassem they experienced another, with the loss of 100 men I killed. Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, Don Pedro, in company with the Duke of Terceira, the Marquis Loule, and other distinguished personages, embarked at the arsenal with Admiral Napier, and passed up the river to Villa Franca, where he landed, and proceeded to pay a visit to his army. SPAIN. (From the Boletin do Commercio.) MADRID, OCT. 16.—The history of Spain pre sents in the latter times two epochs, in which it has been fcund practicable to reconcile discords and effectually promote the public welfare, by soothing and extinguishing parties, calming agitations, afford ing no scope to the projects of the ambitious, and repressing all pretensions inconsistent with the real interests of the state, which always depend on the improvement end progress of the classes that con stitute the great body of the nation. But at both periods the evil genius of Spain, re. presented by an implacable and egotistical faction, in different to the misfortunes and calamities of the country, counteracted and rendered abortive the de clared intentions and wishes of the Monarch, who could have no other interest than that of his people, nor other glory than that of the nation, which had so often given him proofs of the purest loyalty. We certainly do not mean to employ the language of declamation, our only object being to direct at tention to the past, with a view of deriving from it a lesson for the future. Thus policy may be enabled to avoid the quicksands to be encountered its a course complicated by events which are succeeding each other with an extraordinary rapidity; and thus also may the guide of prudence be assured to the resolutions which so delicate and critical a mo ment may demand. All our misfortune s have their real origin in the division constantly kept up by these who succeeded in frustrating the salutary effects of the decrees signed by the benevolent hand of our benevolent monarch --decrees which tended to union and peace, to the oblivion of all errors, and the reconciliation of all minds. Acts so worthy of a beneficent sovereign could not be approved by men whose hearts yearned for blood and vengeance, and whose destructive policy disowned those sound principles which were calculated to regulate all interests, and to form the foundation of the wealth and prosperity of the state. The words which our good King Don Ferdinand VII. addressed to the nation in 18 Weave no doubt respecting his sentiments, and point out the course which be would have followed during his reign, had not been prevented by the force of subsequent events, and the conduct of the faction, unceasingly engaged in discrediting a Government which even then they desired to see placed in the hands of the Prince whom they now proclaim as their King, and whom they consider better fitted than any other person to effect the consummation of their dark de signs, their brutal projects—in a word, the destruc tion of our country. " Your Sovereign" (thus did our illustrious Mo narch explain his views) " has no other object in reigning but your welfare ; and he considers it as the greatest glory to he the Sovereign of an heroic nature, whose immortal deeds have acquired for it the admiration of all the world, and preserved its liberty and honour. I abhor and detest despotism. The knowledge and civilization of Europe no longer permit its existence; and in Spain the Kings were never despots. Despotism never received sanction from the excellent laws and constitution of Spain, though unfortunately, as in other countries, and in all human affairs, abuses of power have occurred, which no constitution whatever can entirely guard against. The abuses, however, were not vices inherent in the constitution possessed by the nation, but were the acts of men, and the effect of deplorable, though seldom witnessed, circumstances, which gave to those Men place and opportunity to act."* History has preserved in this important docu ment, to the shame and reproach of the impudent faction by whom our Sovereign's intentions were thwarted and frustrated, the sincere wishes and great designs of the Monarch whom we have lost, and whose pure desires will always render his me mory hallowed, while they cause to be remembered the criminal acts of those who abused his confidence, gained an ascendancy over his mind by fictitious plots and pretended alarms, which really could have no foundation in a nation instructed by experience, and admonished by domestic and foreign examples. In the other epoch to which we have alluded (the year 1823), we see the grandees and the prin cipal landowners of Spain approach the Prince ‘lho then commanded the French troops, and thus ad dress him :—" Effect speedily and happily the com pletion of your great undertaking, associate in on , cause the liberty of a King allied to you by blood, and the just expectations of a nation friendly to France; from the united efforts of these two gene rous rations, may their common benefit and a new and durable bond of friendship and alliance result, — may bad and hateful passions give way to beneficent concord, and the nation, forming one family, be animated with one desire, that of rallying round the royal throne,—may the Spaniards be at last placed in an honourable and just harmony with the civil:zed na tions of Europe, as far removed on the one hand from the intrigues of arbitrary power, the sure precursor of disasters, as from the disorders of destructive anarchy on the other—may we, and may out chil dren, on a happier day, be able to exclaim, with ineffable and everlasting joy—" The King Ferdinand VII., of Bourbon, ( a captive in the palace of his ancestors, assisted by his faithful subjects) and the Spanish nation oppressed by a small but baneful faction, recovered their liberty and their rights, and saw revived the mild and beneficial influence of a sacred religion, public morality, and the salutary reign of the laws, through the aid of France, and under the direction of the august Prince the Duke d'Angouleme. " We, ourselves, or those who gave us being, witnessed, and anxiously desired to co-operate in this glorious consummation, having cordially offered to sacrifice life and property for its attainment. " But the noble expectations formed on this oc casion by the respectable portion of the SpaniFh noblesse were likewise frustrated, and their patri otic wishes were falsely interpreted, and treated with contempt; because the leaders of the faction, having in view other interests, employed hypocri tical arts to mislead the conscience of the Morsarch, availing themselves of the same means which they put into practice in La Granja to terrify their King, and to wrest from him a decree which could only have been dictated by the most abominable treason and ingratitude." * Royal Decree of the 4th of May, 1814. GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 2.—Namik Pacha is gone to St. Petersburgh as Ambassador from the Pore. The object of his mission is said to he to request, on the part of the Porte, for delay in the payment of the contribution in arrear, to enter into a new arrangement relative to the payment of the same, to define more clearly the boundary line between Russia and Turkey in Asia, to settle de finitively the affairs of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and all the yet undecided points of the treaty of Adrianople. Servian affairs appear to be already settled in all the main points. The son of Wogorides, who is appointed Prince of Samos, is gone to that island in company with three Commissioners representing Eng land, France, and Russia, fully empowered to summon the inhabitants to submit to the resolutions of the Porte, but in case of refusal to declare to them that they must no longer rely on the support of the Three Powers, but will be left wholly to their fate. There is not much hope of an arrangement. It is suspected that the Servians, by conti nuing their refusal,have ground for reckoning o.: ':.reign aid.

The cause which England gives is, that as yet nothing is definitively settled relative to the future lot of the islands of Candia, Rhodes, Scio, Cyprus, and Samos. We have letters from Scutari.

LISBON, OCT. 24.—We have given no accounts of the liberating army, because no movement of importance has taken place, nor any event worthy of attention. It is no part of our system to make vague declamations, without any reason but to deceive our readers. Realities and facts ,re the only foundations on which we shall give our opinions. We shall spare no pains to collect them, but when we do not succeed in this we judge the talent of inventing them much beneath honesty. We know for certain that the situation of our enemies at Santarem is desperate. Some days ago the want of every thing, especially bread, began to naake the soldiers feel the dreadful effects of hunger, which have been for some time felt by the wretched inhabitants of that town, because all there is, is lint little for the troops. This distressing situation will soon be aggravated by the season. Santarem is an island of mountains, in the midst of vast plains, some of which are inundated by the overflowing of the Tagus, which renders them impass. able; others are converted into marshes by a fall of rain, and others covered with water by the overflowings of the many ditches which traverse theta. Where will they be able to get provisions ? The liberating army, occupying the eminences from the Castaxo to Az9ia, has intercepted the roads by which the enemy might escape or receive the necessary subsistence, no road remaining to him but that of the Campo, which the Tagus will inevitably dis pute with him. In our opinion, it was a measure of consummate prudence to suspend operations against San tarem, where, in the absence of spirit and courage in the rebels, the nature of the ground favoured them, the place being difficult of access, and this advantage might even animate their desperate cowardice, and render mere dear to us a victory which is always certain. In the distress in which we see the unnatural usurper and his ferocious soldiers, we think that an event not distant will put an end to the deluge of evils anddisasters in which he has plunged our unhappy country, and which would have been wholly ruined, had not the invincible arm of the saviour of legitimacy, the immortal giver of liberty, rescued it from the abyss. VILLA FRANCA, OCT. 24.—This town enjoys unin terrupted tranquillity. It does not appear that the rebel s h ave made any movement since they concentrated their for ces as much as possible in Santarem. Nothing has h h a av p e p e b n e e e el n t t o ak e t h n e b s y o south, Corregidora nd them ostto preserve judicieus measures sures pro visions and flocks in Lesira. SITUBA.I, OCT. 24.—The greater part of the force which the rebels had at Alcacer, was ordered to St. Jago de CasPem, where they lately received a lesson which they will not soon forget. That place has now a sufficient force, not only to defend itself against any attack on the part of the enemy, but to meet and vanquish them. The rebels in Alcacer do not amount to 600, men for the most part without discipline, or the organization necessary to resist the attack of a regular force. The rebel Remechido, one of the most barbarous and sanguinary commanders of Guerillas, m ide another attack on Lago, but was again repulsed, with the loss of above 300 men, and fled with precipitation and disgrace. LISBON, OCT. 26.—The Gazette contains a circular to the Minister of State, and the public departments which it concerns, from the Minister of Justice ; " in cluding copies of the decrees of July 30, 1532, and Aug. 13, of the same year ; the first abolishing the tithes paid by the landowners and farmers of these kingdoms ; the second regulating the future amount of the property of the Crown and of the orders, in order that your Ex cellency may give orders to carry them into effect, so far as your department is concerned, that the people may, as soon as possible, know and enjoy the benefits which they well deserve from them, and have this additional reason to bless the efficacious solicitude with which the august Regent of these kingdoms endeavours to promote the general felicity of the nation, which he so wisely and pru dently governs in the name of the Queen.

(From the Derby Reporter.) On Tuesday last, a meeting was held at the King's Head, in this borough, of gentlemen friendly to the esta blishment of a railway communication between Derby, Nottingham, and Leicester, and forward to London by a junction with the London and Birmingham railroad. This project has originated with some of the l-ading in habitants of Leicester and its vicinity, who have zea lously engaged in the enterprize. Already have surveys been made of the intended lines between this town and Leicester, and Derby and Nottingham, and part of the line from Leicester to Rugby, and , orrveyora are now di. ligently employed in completing the survey of the pro posed line from Leicester to its junction with the line of the London and Birmingham railroad near Rugby. A very influential Committee has been formed in Leicester, and shares to the amount of 60,0001. have been applied for. At Nottingham a Committee has been formed, which comprises four or five C.,iinty Magistrates, and other gentlemen of property and influence. Here also the applications for shares are very favourable to the success of the enterprize. The coal owners of this, and the adjoining county of Nottingham, had taken shares amount ing to 50,0001. in a project instituted about two years ago for a similar purpose, but which was not then carried into effect ; this sum will be thrown into the present undertaking, which, when added to the amount ready to be subscribed for at Leicester, will form one-sixth of the capital required, without the aid of Nottingham and Derby. Plans of the intended lines from Pinxton to Leicester, and from Nottingham to Derby, were exhibited at this meeting. Mr. Bell read the dial:. of a prospectus, which enumerated the probable amount of expense necessary to complete the project, and the sources and amount of income. It was estimated that 600,0001. would he an ample capital far the completion of the Railway and its establishment, which it is intended to divide into 6,000 shares, at 1001. each. The profit, upon the most moderate and grtatly reduced estimate, was computed as follows, v;z. : From travellers by coaches, by posting, and car riage of light goods, it is expected there will £ be a revenue 0f... From heavy goods now conveyed by boats and waggons 8,288 From coal, iron, lead, stone, timber, linen, corn, &c 102,467 From v - hich are to be deducted for the expenses of locomotive power, repairs, &c 37,2J0 Leaving a net surplus of 65,217 To which are added the probable increase from travelling, and carriage of light goods, agree ably to the scale adopted in all recent compu tations of this kind .. 40,620 And the probable increase in merchamhze, and heavy goods, from extended markets and re duced expenses 8,160 £113,997 Mr. Bell then stated, that Mr. Babington, who has taken great interest in this project, and who was expected to have been at the meeting to explain the details of the plan, as he had done at Leicester and Nottingham, would not allow his name to be used till he was convinced of the accuracy of the calculations from which the foregoing results were derived by going through the whole himself with great care and attention. He had very considerably reduced all the sources of income, and now felt assured that if any error had been committed, it was in estimating the income from the proposed railway too low, rather than at too high a standard, and that they should be quite safe i❑ assum ing the profit to be ten per cent. at least. Mr. Bell then mentioned several sources of income that had not been noticed in the estimates. Several questions were asked by gentlemen present respecting the proposed rates of carriage, which appeared to be very low ; ; was then stated that the cost of carriage to Leicester, now bs. 2el. to 6a. per ton for coals, and very much higher for merchandise of various kinds, would be reduced to 2a. 9d. or 3s. And coals, which are T..- sold at from 12s. to 15s. per ton, would I— ....auced to from Bs. to Ils. Another e -=':«""n inquired, whether the Le would not limit the rate of profits ; to which it was replied, the rates for both passengers and :tones had been limited by Acts procured for the establishment of railroads now in use, and regard had been had in the estimates made to this circumstance. It was also st ited in answer to another question, that the probable addi tional income which would arise from a junction with the High Peak railroad, and with one talked of from Sheffield, had not been taken into the account. It was then moved by Mr. S. Fos, and seconded by Mr. Byng, that the prospectus and estimates be approved of by the meeting. Several gentlemen then present were added to the Provisional Committee. NEW RAILWAYS. The project of the Leeds and Liverpool Railway is revived, and Mr. Walker, the civil engineer for the Leeds and Selby R iilway, is at pre-ent engaged in surveying that part of the new line which lies between Liverpool and Manchester. —Bir mingham Advertiser. FOREIGN RAILWAYS.—M. Navier and his staff of civil engineers, amounting to eight in number, have been twice upon the Leeds and Seiby Railway withi❑ the last fortnight, examining the works with great minuteness, preparatory to the commencement of con structions of a similar kind on a large scale in France. We understand that these gentlemen expressed themselves much gratified with the scientific skill displayed upo❑ this great public undertaking, and with the beauty and solidity of the works.—Birmingham Advertiser. THE HEADSMAN, BY COOPER.—" The story of this new novel has many scenes of touching loveliness; we have been kindled and subdued, surprised and amused ; and our expectation has been ever kept alive with the hope of seeing the dark made light, for we felt the presence of some great mystery, which we knew must be unravelled. Sigismund, the young, the brace, the chivalrous, interested us much with his love for the Baron's daughter, and the deep and bitter feeling of hi degradation as the son of the Headsman of Geneva. The work is in three volumes, and each volume possesses an interest of its own. The first contains the narrative of a voyage during a storm on the Lema❑ Lake, in which the maritime tact and courage of Maso, and the fortitude and daring of Sigissnund enable them to triumph over every peril. The second relates the agitations and woes of Si gismund and Adelheid, when the latter offers to become his wife, and he is compelled to proclaim himself the son of the Headsman. And the third involves the whole characters in this Swiss drama in a snow-corn on the Alps. The beauties of the narrative are numerous; all is earnest, tender, and impassioned; and the characters of Maso and Adelheid have the original and natural air so strongly impressed on all the productions of this author." —Athenceum. COMMON COUNCIL. --A Court of Common Council was held ye,terday to proceed with the Watch Act for the ensuing year, and the remaining clauses having been gone through, and a long discussion held upon the amounts of moneys to be raised by the several Wards, the same was finally settled and agr ee d to, and the Act passed. . The Court agreed with a Report f rom the Committee respecting the inquiry into Muni c i pa l Corporations in England and Wales for appropriating th e L or d M ayor ' s hustings in the Guildhall for the sittings of the Commis sioners when they proceed in the examination of viva voce evidence, which they had commun ica t e d they proposed doing on the 26th inst. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1833. By the arrival of the Pantaloon at Falmouth, we have received the Lisbon Papers to the 26th inst., and private letters of the same date. Their contents are far from important. The Miguelites continued to occupy Santarem, which they had well fortified, and it does not appear that an immediate attack by the Constitutional ists is contemplated. According to the Lisbon Papers, the enemy are straitened for provi sions, and it is supposed that the sword will be unnecessary for their subjugation. The private letters from Lisbon state, that a dispute had arisen between Major KELLY and the Govern ment respecting the pay of his recruits, and that he and the officers who accompanied him had resigned. About eighty of the men who refused to serve under new of had been imprisoned. The Paris papers of Wednesday contain an ordinance for the meeting of the Chambers on the 23d inst. There are no later accounts from Madrid in these papers than the 29th ult., and no further intelligence from the army under SAARSFIELD had reached Paris. It may be pre sumed, therefore, that up to the 4th inst. that general had not entered Vittoria ; for, had he done so, the news would have been transmitted from Bayonne by the telegraph, unless the wea ther had been so unfavourable as to prevent that mode of communication. The Temps says that M. ANDINO has been appointed Spanish Mi nister of Finance, and that M. CAMBRONERO is to be the new Minister of Justice. These gentlemen are known in the political clubs of Spain as Afrancesados. There is an article in the Constitutionnel stating that the Duchess of BERRY has lately crossed Switzerland, as was supposed, for La Vendee. She is said to travel with an English passport, accompanied by her husband. We do not attach much importance to this statement, forif the Countess of LUCCHESI PALLI be rash enough to make another attempt at revolution in France, her husband would not, we think, be quite so ready to assist her in her desperate freaks as he was in lending her his name to extricate her from the consequences of her reputed faux pas. The Sultan has sent an ambassador to St. Peters burgh, to solicit time for the payment of the arrears due by the Porte to Russia. The mag nanimous Autocrat will certainly grant the re quired delay, knowing that a merciless creditor has never so firm a hold of an unfortunate debtor as by allowing time for his embarrassments to increase.

The report of the Agricultural Committee a ppointed last session established, beyond a doubt, the fact for which we have long con tended, that the inj ury i n fli cted upon the coun try by the corn laws was not profitable even to the landowners, for whose exclusive benefit they were intended by the oligarchical tyranny which framed them. The Report of the Committee on Commerce and Manufactures,—or, rather, the minutes of the evidence taken before it, for the Committee has not expressed any opinion of its own,—has been in our hands for a week past, ' and, after a diligent examination of it, we can state, with the greatest confidence, that there is not a witness whose testimony does not, directly or indirectly, establish the fact, that those same corn laws are vitally injurious to every other class of the community. Our ma nufacturers are at the present moment in tole rably full work, but the continuance of their employment depends almost upon the turning of a straw. There are three ways in which it is possible to keep up our manufacturing competi tion in foreign markets—first, by lowering the wages of labour at home, without lowering the price of food; secondly, by raising the wages of labour, or price of food abroad ; and thirdly, by lowering the price of food at home. The first has been in operation for some few years, principally from the competition of Irish labour ; but it is at ended with much misery to the working people, not to mention danger to every other class. Besides, it is by no means desirable that the standard of living among the industrious and working poor should be reduced to that of the Irish labourer. Humanity and policy (if, indeed, they be distinct) alike rejecting, then, the first mode of meeting foreign competition, the question is, whether we have it not in our power to adopt the second or third. If we could cf a sudden double the superficial extent of the United Kingdom, abundance of profitable employment for our spare capital, and cheap food, would be the immediate consequences, without any increase in the price of food abroad. If bread can be imported from abroad without increasing the price in the countries from which it is drawn, we have the advantage of cheaper food where with to feed our manufacturers ; but should the effect of a free importation of foreign bread be, as we have no doubt it would be, to raise the price of corn abroad somewhat, as well as lower it somewhat at home, we should have the further advantage of making manufac turers abroad eat dearer bread. In fact, should place them exactly, as regards the price of food, upon the footing of our own manufacturers ; whereas, at present, we cut the throats of the latter, by compelling the foreign bread grower to sell his commodity cheap to the foreign manu facturer. This double operation of our Corn Laws, the making bread abroad cheap, as well as making bread at home dear, has not l i met with the attention it deserves. It never seems to have crossed the minds of many of the most intelligent witnesses examined before the Committee on Trade, for they all speak of the destruction that must soon overtake our own manufactures unless English wages be reduced. Thus Mr. S. JACKSON, of Sheffield, at page 185, says expressly that the wages of workmen in cutlery must come down. It appears not to have struck him that it was possible to raise the price of food and wages of labour abroad, the low rate of which he justly looks upon as affording foreign manufacturers their great facilities for competing with our own. According to his evidence an English saw maker receives 15s. per day, for a particular kind of work, at which a French saw maker of Molsheim earns only 10 or 12 francs per week, turtling out the same quantity of work. This work too is not inferior to much of our own ; English marks are forged upon it, and it is sold in large quantities in America. Our ability to stand this competition rests solely upon the slender foundation of past character. Mr. JACKSON, at the same time, gives some ac count of the price of provisions at Molsheirm which, in conjunction with thz; lower rate of living among foreign workmen, sufficiently explains their ability to take these poor wages. House hold bread is id. per pound ; wheaten bread lid. per pound ; beef 3d. per pound ; potatoes 2d. per peck ; and beer Id. per pint. Our cotton appear to be in as great danger as our iron manufactures ; and upon our main taining our superiority in this article de pends the employment of millions of our fellow countrymen. By the evidence of Mr. W. R. GREG, it appears, that the average wages of work people in cotton mills in Switzerland is 4s. sd. per week ; in Austria 45.; in the Tyrol 3s. 9d.; in Saxony 3s. 6d.; at Bonne, in Prussia, 2s. 6d.; and in France ss. Bd. The greater part of the men earning these wages are certainly worse off than English cotton spinners (the average of whose wages is, according to Mr. GREG, 10S. per week), but still they are able to live upon them. This they would not and could not do, if the price of provisions were in the least raised. We have it in our power to raise the price of their provisions, to compel their mas ters to give them higher wages if they manufacture at all, and at the same tine to lower somewhat the price of bread in Eng land. This double effect would be pro duced by a repeal of the law, which, as far as possible, forbids our manufacturers to exchange i their cotton goods, their iron ware, f or f oo d fugrowns e t abroad.o put his shoulder I V o h u o l d e i r to t he wheel, s there then l e that and willad re in the abolition of the selfish, short sighted, pick-pocket Act of 1828 ? We see it stated in the miscellanies of the Asiatic Journal of the present month that a society is forming at Sydney, Australia, the bond of which is the consumption of no article not of colonial produce or manufacture. The scheme is absurd, and its authors will no doubt shortly discover that it is a losing one ; but it indicates the kind of feeling which our own monopolising spirit produces. In all our colo nies we sow the seeds of hostility, we impose ridiculous or mischievous restrictions on the em ployment of capital ; and then wonder at their disaffection. The Australians do not a-k to to have placed on German t h h a e v have a a s n ad high ian s a desiredu ty on German wool as timber ; but . they require not to be shackled in the use of the coal on their own estates ; the% require to have their tobacco admitted at ar equal duty with that of our American co lonies they require being allowed to export their corn tc us us flee of duty as we send them our broad del and our cutlery. None of these things are done and if we do not take care we shall find th 3 ' instead of rearing a colony which will in leg than half a century furnish an outlet for 0 1 manufactures, doubling every sixteen yep we shall have been sowing the seeds of a tariff injurious to our commerce as that of the Urn?
