Spain and Portugal appear to be lost to all serrse,Orhonour and patriotism. , They have nowundergone an ordeal of some thirty years for improving their condition ; they have tried almost every kind of government, the representative, the purely monarchical, the des potic, and the radical, and under all these they hare exhibited the same characteristic features—restless ness, without an object, and constant commotion without any result. The people, like the besotted Sovereigns that rule them, have become a bye-word among nations. Though Portugal has been under the protection of England for more than two centuries, and has had every opportunity of assimilating her institutions to those of the country with which she has been so closely allied, she has not advanced one step in social improvement or in strength. Her national Cortes are regarded by the people as a mockery, her army is open to the highest bidder, and at the present moment the small fortress of Almeida, under the command of BONFIM, denounced as a rebel, sets the Quits, the Government, . and the army at defiance. Spain is in a still more deplorable condi tion. In Portugal something like mercy is shown to men who, driven to despair, try to benefit their con dition, but under Queen CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, BRAVO, and Co., butchery is the only instrument of government. Men even suspected of sedition—that is of defending their rights or improving the condition of the country—are arrested, conducted to the presence of priests, and after due religious ceremonies are slaughtered like wild beasts. Every vestige of liberty is swept from that unfortunate country; and, what is more lamentable, not a voice is raised in Spain against deeds which are regarded by other nations with horror. What can be done with such a people ? We have no wish to excuse the policy of Louis PHILIPPE towards Spain. He has taken advantage of her weakness, her .madness, and her slavish propensities, and, has established a despotism stronger than any, perhaps, that ever existed in that country, but he is not entirely to blame. If the people had been faithful to themselves—if they had shown anything like common patriotism, or resented, as most other nations would have done, the inter ference of a foreign Power, he would not have harboured CHRISTINA at Paris, and encouraged M. LESSEPS to stir up Spaniards against ESPARTERO. He knew the people, and treated them as slaves, and slaves they have shown themselves. The woman that has destroyed the Cortes and the Constitution, that has put down the national guards, and abolished their municipal institutions, has been welcomed as a saviour; and though but two years since all were up in arms against the most constitutional and liberal Go vernment ever known in Spain, not a voice is now raised against a system of despotism which has no equal in Europe. Reproaches have been cast on Lord ABER DEEN for tacitly admitting such interference. But what can the English Government, or any Govern ment, do with a nation which is regardless of its ho nour and its interests ? We have enough to do with our own affairs, without attempting to raise up a fallen people, or make men free who are determined to be slaves. On Spaniards alone the blame rests. They have rejected the aid of the only Power willing and able to assist them, and they must be left to their fate. The usual weekly meeting of the Anti-Corn-laW League was held on Wednesday at Covent-Garden Theatre. Though these mee ti ngs h ave b een o f regular occurrence since the commencement of the session, yet there is not the slightest symptom of any falling-off in public interest; the houSe still continues to be crowded—which is more than can be said of St. Stephen's ; and the attention paid by the audience to the proCeedings is still as Vigilant and earnest as ever. Mr. EWART, who was one of the principal ,speakers of the evening, made several apt remarks on the subject of the great progress which free trade had made in the minds of the people, and, alluding incidentally to:negro - slavery, observed: "If they were to have the iron fetters - shaken from the hands of the slaves, the nation said, Jet us also have the commercial fetters shaken from our hands. The negroes were freed, but the people of this coun try continued bound, and unless they imperatively demanded the abolition of these restrictions, they would . , continue to be so, till nothing short of the compulsion of necessity should drive the Legislature to redeem its pledge." The emancipation of the negroes, not withstanding the prodigious cost at which it was effected, was unquestionably a generoui, politic, high- ! nainded act worthy, of a mighty nation like England ; but the emancipation of trade from the shackles, with which it is at present encumbered, is an act at least equally politic, equally necessary, equally called for by humanity. For who would be the gainers by such emancipation ? All classes to a certain extent; but more especially the poor—the oppressed—the despised operatives, on whom the present restrictive system falls with terrible seve rity, crippling their energies, narrowing their field of labour, _throwing a cloud over the present, blottng out hope from the future, and sowing, almost as a matter of. necessity, the seeds of ill-will between- themselves and their employers, by placing each in a. false position with the other. It is but . a : tame, halting, one-sided humanity that re dresses the wrongs of the blacks, while it can endure to perpetuate the slavery—for what is the present factory system, so far as, the women and chil dren are concerned,, but slavery ?—of the whites. Referring to the vacillating policy of Ministers, Mr. EW.S.B.T went on to saY:—" Gpvernment were sometimes by their friends and foes charged with being free-traders. He ,gave them full credit for what they did. lie could only with they were more open in carrying into practice their theory of free trade.' One Minister' had just made the declaration he hid already quoted; and others said that the prin ciples of 'fiee 7 trade were the principles of common sense. AnPther was supposed to write in favour of the 'Government principles Of free-trade. If such were the - fPrinCiples entertained by the Ministers, why did they not act on them ?" This is a question that ha's often been asked, and answered in an infinite variety of ways, according to the views of those who replied to it. Our own opinion, which we have 'ex pressed more than once, is that Ministers have aban doned an oldffashioned notion of principle, and adopted expediency as their slieet-anchor. On this alone they act, and will continue to act, so - long as they remain in office. Lofty and comprehensive views are clearly caviare to theni ; they consult only their majority, which is to them a sort of political barometer. And yet, strange to say, - not withstanding the vaunted majority, rarely has there been of late times so utterly inefficient a Ministry: It seems nearly powerless for good, and not over influential even for evil. Quarter after quarter it post pones, struggles, equivocates with, and abandoni, While the country looks on astonished at the phenomenon of a Government scarcely able to make a s i ngle decisive movement, with: a majority of ninety at its buil , • , • ..•.. No apology will be expected; by our readers for xe newing our earnest appeal to their Most serious atten tion, on the subject of our colonial policy. * Without participating in-the apprehensions expressed by more than one of our Cdntemporaiies, and their correspon dents in Paris, that the Otaheite question—precipitated, as it has been, by the vapopririg and coxcombry Of the French naval commander, Rear*-Admiral Durnrrr TuovAus—may yet be destined to involve this country in !hostile Collision _witk France, we must admit that the fait arid lOoie tone of our own diplomatic corres pondence in the affair, and the " would and would not" character of the intervention—half demonstra tion, half menace;--of qur naval officers in those' seas, have not heen of a character to sustain the lofty in fluence of our national reputation, - to vindicate our moral or Political good faith, "or to up hold' the unsullied dignity of th e B ritish fla It is im possible p eruse the to thestat e Paper, -entitlel"' terrespendence rela tive to the Society 131 ;nds; 1843, in continuation of papers • in August that y to both Houses, by command," the -b pr e sented withqUi coming.' • teegli:o,R; the' present • ses s ion, unhappily, that poo r utterly viatimited; "throu g h cu?eneeni\t°ns. th 7A . RE T h h a e s . , I been utterly of her own fears, and the . intrigues i n fluence of . her corrupt . chiefs," (si c h are Lo r a M iza . DEENS own words,) " in signing a deed so fatal to her independence" as that by which she' *placed h-Otielf under the protector*, of the IPng of the Faxmcn. The second conclusion this cqrrespondence irresistibly invite's is, - that the statesmanship exhibited by Lord ABERDEEN throughout the whole affair, subsequent to the date of Mr. Consul PEITCHAED' s first. cerntolini cation to'hini of the possession taken by the French of three of the Marquesas Islands, and OtahOte. and imeO, of the Society Islands-4as of the lowest pre tensions:in- point of Ina or spirit. I The first eigonlit nication was dated " Sydney, New South Wales, Bth December, 1842." On the 14th June, 1843, Lord ABERDEEN apprises Mr. PRITCHARD that our Go vernment "had already been informed of the pro ceedings of the French squadron under DUEETIT THOUARS at the Society Islands. Why then, may we ask, had not instructions been immediately there upon sent out to our Consul nearest to the scene of action, as to the distinct course he ought to adopt in reference to such proceedings ? But Lord ABERDEEN first admits that the matter had been left to the chapter of accidents ; and in the next place evidently labours to show, not so much that it was not our duty to interfere on behalf of the unhappy QUEEN, as that the French had so ably availed themselves of her own act and deed, obtained in the absence of any friendly authority upon whose consideration and in tervention she could have thrown herself. He, therefore, intimates that our Government do not in tend to call the right assumed by the French into question. He also relies for a corroboration of this, his view of the subject, upon two documents which had been forwarded to him by M. GulzoT—the one being an address of congratulation and approval to the French Rear-Admiral on his recent proceedings, by the (British) ministers of the Protestant mission, in the isles of Otaheite and Moorea ; the other, a similar address of British inhabitants, residents at Otaheite. These two documents certainly enhance the difficulty of our Government ; for, as M. GulzoT writes to the Count DE ROItAN CHABOT (11th September, 1843), they amount to an acquiesence on the part of our own resident subjects in the reality of those alleged grievances under which French shipping had laboured when visiting Otaheite, and which, as "faits notoires et ividens," had called, imperatively, for "une energique intervention!" Now we complain that for a state of things which was almost morally sure to arise out of these " no torious and evident facts," no British authorities, civil or naval, had been sufficiently instructed by their Government to be prepared. If there had been, the missionaries and other British residents who would have addressed it on the point, would never have com mitted themselves or this country to two such docu ments. Commodore NICOLAS acted upon the im pulses so natural to a British sailor, in expressing his resentment at the bullying and insult offered by the French authorities to the defenceless QUEEN in person. They set up a flag which he hauled down, and a few other vain exhibitions of feeling escaped him. But he soon proved the danger and difficulty of acting without orders, and therefore desisted. The French carried their point and realised their demands, not merely with impunity, but with the prestige derived from having done so despite this desultory and unauthorised opposition. The Earl of ABERDEEN, we must say, seems to have been be wildered by the affair from the first. His dispatches in this instance have the defect (very unusual in his papers) of being even illogical, at least when he writes by the hands of Mr. ADDINGTON. For the latter (letter to Sir JOHN BARROW, Secretary to the Admiralty, 11th July, 1843,) writes thus :—" It certainly would appear, from various reports received by her MAJESTY'S Government, respecting the trans actions which ended in the surrender by the Queen of TAHITI of a portion of her sovereign authority to the French Admiral, that that cession was brought about partly by intrigue, and partly by intimidation." Therefore, it would appear, " that this cession or surrender was NOT voluntary ;" yet Mr. ADDINGTON proceeds—" But the surrender WAS, notwithstanding, VOLUNTARILY made, and completed in due form, by Queen POMARE—under whatever impulsion she may have acted." That is as Much as to say, "her will was constrained in part, and in part it was violated; but it was her free will notwithstanding, however much violated, to whatever extent constrained." The logic is as unintelligible as the policy of Lord ABERDEEN'S office. In his letter of 13th March, 1843, Mr. Consul PRITCHARD thus writes to Lord ABERDEEN, from the British Consulate at Otaheite On my arrival, I found Queen Pomare about eight miles from this place, driven from her proper restdence by the continual threats made by the French to fire upon her. Under the protection of Commodore Nicolas, in her ajesty's ship Vindictive, Queen Pomare has returned to her own residence. Commodore Nicolas and I have endeavoured to act in accordance with the repeated promises of assistance and protection made by the British Government to Queen Pomare. Permit me to refer your Lordship to Mr. Can ning's letter, dated March 3, 1827, to the late King of of Tahiti. "His Majesty, however, commands me to say, that although the customs of Europe forbid his acceding to your wishes in this respect. (hoisting the British flag), he will be happy to afford to yourself and your dominions all such protection as his Majesty can grant to a friendly Power at so remote a distance from his own kingdom."_ Lord Palmerston's dispatch of the 9th of September, 1841, is of similar import :—•' You will assure Queen Pomare that her Majesty will at all times be ready to attend to any representations that Queen Pomare may wish to make, and will always be glad to give the pro tection of her good offices to Queen Pomare, in any dif ferences which may arise between Queen Pomare and any other Power." In your Lordship's instructions of July 30, 4842, the same sentiments are reiterated Upon the occasion of your return to your post at Tahiti, it will be expedient that you should be able to prove to the governing authorities in these islands, that her Ma jesty's Government continues to take that interest in their prosperity which has heretofore been professed." Lord. ADERDEEN, in his dispatch of 25th September, in reply, rebukes Mr. PRITCHARD for having "alto gether misinterpreted these passages in the letters of Mr. CANNING and Lord PALMERSTON ;" and justifies the non-interference of England in the matter, on the ground of that illogical fallacy which we have just exposed. Her Majesty's Government sincerely deplore the pain and humiliation inflicted on Queen Pomare. Moreover, they are willing to do everything in their power to alle viate her distresses. But, unfortunately, the letter in which French protection was solicited, was, by her own will and act, signed by the Queen • and the agr eemen t which followed was equally ent e red into and completed by the Queen's own will and act. _ _ However much, therefore her Majesty' s G overnment may be disposed to regret the coarse of conduct by which the Queen was brought to sign a deed so fatal to her independence, they are deprived, by her own voluntary and formal twt, of all just and available ground for oppos ing the assumption and exercise of the protectorate by the French: Her Majesty's Government do not. therefore, intend to raise any que3tion as to that exercise of authority, nor as to the legitimacy of the now flag which the French have thought proper to substitute for the old Tahitian flag. But all this was not the poor woman's "act" or " deed." Lord ABERDEEN himself once more admits that it was not, when—(to get rid of an ugly case, illustrating that absence of a forecasting and vigorous, though unaggressive, policy of which we complain)— he hinds her to the cruel consequences of scandalous arts which he thus characterises in another part of the, same dispatch. He is giving counsel which we blush, to find ascribed to a British Cabinet Minister. It is cajoling the victim of oppression into an unworthy compromise with unprincipled power, merely because , it is power : But Queen Pomare would do wisely in submitting to the evil circumstances which her own fears, and the intrigues of some of her corrupt chiefs, have brought upon her. Resistance to those who have assumed the rights of pro tectors over her, would but aggravate the miseries of her position, and provoke even worse treatment than she' has already received. Madrid journals of the 17th have been • received, from which we learn that, on the 16th, Queen Cams?lNA reviewed her regiment, the " Reina Guberna dors," to which she had lately been Colonel. She was attended by General NeavArz, Duke DE SAN CARLOS, Duke na LA BOCA, General Coenove, and several other officers of rank. Her MAJRSTY was enthusiastically received by the regiment. Accord ing to accounts from Gibraltar, the Emperor of Mo- ROCCO is making great preparations to resist the proposed attack from Spain. He has proclaimed war against the Infidels, and called out forty thousand horsemen. The subjoined decree appears in ,the Madrid Gazette, put forth probably to gull the fo reign creditors, and prepare the way for a loan : " The Queen, in her anxiety to re-establish and consoli date, by all possible means, the national credit and confi dence of the creditors of the State, and being persuaded that, in order to attain that end, nothing is more efficacious than the rigorous observation of the laws and special ordinances, and the execution of contracts, has fixed for the Ist of May next the drawing of the foreign deferred debt, which is to take place in the present year, conformably to the law of the 16th of November, 1834. A:Committee, appointed to that effect, will proceed to draw, under the presidency of the Director -General of the Sinking Fund." More butcheries have been committed in the East of Spain, as will be seen from the following procla mation of General Esnare, addressed to the inha bitants of Gerona on the 16th : "Although. the authorities of the neighbouring kingdom (France) have, thanks to their excellent vigilance, arrested 47 Spanish emigrants, Inost'of them chiefs and officers vile wanted to revive tivll war in their country, on-the lith and 13th, nine other emigrants • attempted , to -enter Spain• by night. Seven were apprehended by the people and detach ments in the army. After an inquiry into the affair, and spiritual assistance being administered t 9 them, they have THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL Q& 1844 suffered Le punishment they deserved. They have this vening been shot." The Three per Cents. were done at 36 5-16 for cash, and•37i at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 24. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday a discussion took place on a Bill introduced by the Government for the improvement of prison disci pline. The main object of the Bill is to establish throughout the prisons of France the Pennsylvanian system of solitary confinement, a system to which we are glad to find many of the members are decidedly opposed. It is admitted on all hands that the present mode of punishment in that country does not accom plish its object. Crime is on the increase, and the worst offenders are those who have been committed to the galleys, where they have been initiated into every crime ; but between this defective system and that most horrible of all punishments, the silent sys tem, there is a wide difference, and scope enough for other experiments. One of the speakers, M. DE SADE, strongly opposed the Bill. He considered the system of solitary confinement which it recommended dan gerous and barbarous. Madness and death would Ile frequently the consequence. He quoted instances from the penitentiary at Lausanne in support of this view of the question, and remarked that in Pennsyl vania it was on .the point of being abandoned. This system was, above all, opposed to all religious in struction, and on this very ground the Court of ItOme . had refused to allow cellular imprisonment. None of the Ministers had spoken on the question. In the Chamber of Peers the debate on the Education Bill was going en, and would probably last for several days. The whole of the sitting (four hours) of the first day, was taken up with a speech from M. Consul in defence of the University. " It was asserted," said he, " that the philosophy taught in the University led to materialism. What ever persons said so were not men really religious, no matter what dress they wore. True religion was too sure of itself to dread false or true lights. The true light only made it the brighter; the false one paled before it." The Noble Peer concluded by de claring that the " fate of the University was in the hands of the Chamber, and that he would call on them to remember, in legislating on it, that whatever ame liorations they decided on ought to be founded on the grand principle of the University—the power of in terference according to the State." The following are extracts from the papers : We read in the Constitutionnel :—" The affair of Otaheite is much spoken of at the Chamber, and every one inquires why the departure of Admiral Hamelin has been retarded. To this the friends of the Cabinet reply, that the affair may shortly receive an unexpected solution, which may allow M. Dupetit Thouars' work to be maintained; but they show more reserve when pressed to declare what price is to be paid for this concession by England. We believe, however, that it has been whispered that there is a project of recalling the expedition sent to China. The Ministry is well aware that it would expose itself in France to new remonstrances, but it will have provided for the most pressing matter—the customary policy of expedients. The affair of Otaheite is not the only one, it is reported, which is treating between France and England. A project for the partition of the island of St. Domingo is spoken of in diplomatic circles. France, founding her claims on the non-execution of the conditions attached to the recognition of the independence of Hayti, of which M. de Mackau was the negotiator, is to claim the French part, and England, substituting herself for the claims of Spain, would take the Spanish part, in compensation for certain claims against the treasury of Madrid." The Commerce says ;—" We can affirm, from positive in formation, that M. Guizot has had a note of the following purport, addressed to the various Italian Governments, with the exception of the Duke of Modena The French Go vernment is decided on following such a line of policy as will take away from the agitators in Italy all hope of ever obtain ing. from France the physical or even moral support, with the hope of which they now deceive themselves. All the refugees and leaders of movements in Italy must look on this as a warning.' " A letter from Oran, April 10, in the Constitutionnel says appears that the attack made by Abd-el-Fader on the Ouled-Soleiman has been very disastrous to that tribe. The Emir has succeeded in organising some forces for his attacks. It is pretended that he can dispose of 800 foot soldiers and 1,200 horsemen. If allowed to act as he liked he would un doubtedly find means to seriously disquiet the allied tribes of France, some of whom would be forced to follow him. Chef d'Eacadron Caill:er, orderly officer of the Minister of War, will accompany the expedition• which General Lamorciere, who set out to-night, is going to direct against the Emir."

The deaths occurred at the following ages :—Five under one year, twelve under four years, one five, one twenty-one, and one twenty-six years. The number of violent deaths was twenty-seven, and of these eight were from burns and scalds, and four by suicides. The highest average of the thermometer was 61.5 and the lowest 43/.

ScnooLs FOR ALL.—Wednesday, at two o'clock, Lord John Russell, M.P., laid the foundation-stone of a school-fouls°, which is in course of erection on a site, the gift of the Society of Friends, situated in Chequer-alley, Bunhill row, the intention of the founder being, that the benefit of the education to be given should be bestowed upon children of all denominations. The building is about 80 feet long, and 30 feet wide, and erected in a very plain. style. It will con tain about 500 child/ion.

CLEMENT'S DANES.—Wednesday there was very fully-attended supper party of parishioners of St. Cleo. ; merit's Danes, at Mr. Spillman's, Strand, for the purpose of presenting a massive and superbly-finished silver box to Mr. Henry Thomas Woods, their late Churchwarden. D..Boobyer,, Esq., presided. In presenting the box, the chairman pointedly and appropriately dwelt on the merits and valuable tservicee of their- brother parishioner, to whom he had to hand' th testimony of the estimation in which he was 'held; and 114 marked that their friend had gone through all the parochial offices, not only with great credit to himself; but with va st advantage to his neighbours. He added that he was glad . two sons of Mr. Woods were among then ; and he truitie4 that what they beheld that evening would stimulate them tq emulate the conduct of their respected parent. The Chair.; man then presented the box, on which was the following ini• T scription :—" Saint Clements Danes, Easter, 1844.—Presenbei to Mr. Henry Thomas Woods, by a few friends - and brothe parishioners, in testimony of their personal esteem and re f• spect' for his integrity, and particularly for his usefulnei s during the past year." Mr. Woods, in returning his ac knowledgment for the honour thus conferred on him, said' that he had had the honour of being apprenticed in their parish, that he had succeeded to his master's business, and that he earnestly concurred in the wish that his example might be a stimulus to his sons. To encourage them, he should leave with his family this valuable token, and it on them the value of such efforts as had secured that testimony from his brother parishioners. The inhabitants of IVare have at length taken a step which places beyond doubt their resolute deferral nation consistently to oppose the novel practices intro duced into the services at the parish church. They have decided on converting the Town-hall into a place of public worship, and on Tuesday last obtained a license from the county magistrates. We understand that ar rangements are being in for the performance of Di vine.worship exactly n accordance with the usual ser vices in the Established Church, and that an eminent Wesleyan preacher will officiate. Is it possible that with this fact before him, the Vicar will still persist in adhering to the " novelties," which have driven the pa-. ribhioners to this alternative ?—Hertford Mercury. FROVIDENT CLEARS' ANOCIA.TION,—We have.been• informed that James Alexander, Esq., has forwarded a dona tion of 1001. to the benefit department of this excellent insti tution. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. At the close of business Consols were 99i to par, both for Money and Account. Exchequer Bills advanced to 76a. and 775. premium. The other investments were quoted as in the morning. Spanish Three per Cents. maintained a firm appear ance, being 36i- to 37. The Actives wera 25i; Colom bian were done at 14; Portuguese Old Stock, in which we have not had a bargain for a long time past was done at 79i to 78i. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these:— Birmingham and Derby, 39; Caledonian, * ; Eastern Counties, 101- to 10 ; Greenwich 7i ; and Strasburg and Bale, 2i discount.

Messrs. Lizardi have forwarded an answer to the Committee of Spanish-American Bondholders, stating that they can give no further information upon the sub ject of the dividends, than that contained in their letter of the 17th inst., and that, as,to the eleven thousand and odd pounds, they have no intention of relinquishing it. Information was received to-day by a member of the Stock Exchange that all the money raised by the New Dutch Font% per Cent. Loan, and also the ten millions of money of: the , first call of the Three per Cent. Loan will he - applied .to the re-pay_inent, of the Co lonial Dutch Five per - Cents., the amount of the latter to be paid = off,- being fOrty-five- millions. Parties not wishing to be paid off may exchange for the New Four per Cents., which will bear interest from the Ist day of May next, with a bonus of 5 7.10 per cent., so that for every colonial five 'per cent. bond of 1,000 florins ' the holder will receive, one bond o f 1,000 fl o rins of the New Four per Cent Loan, with the coupons from 'ay ; 57 fonds as a bonus, and 4 florins, 17, being one month's interest on the Colonial Five per Cent.

A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool, yester day, and at fully previous rates. Speculators took 1,200 bales American, and exporters 200 bales; the total sales being 5,000 bags—viz.. 300 Egyptian, at 7d. to 84d.; 400 Surat, at 34d. to 40.; 200 Peruvian, at Sid. to 6f d. ; and the rest American, at 4-id. to 6d. per lb.— There was a better demand for some of the Counties, 12 ; Edin- Railwai Shares.

Is. ; Paris and Lyons, 2/ ;Ditto and Rouen, 38. - The following is an important document, as exhibiting the rapid increase in the amount of the imports and exports at the Port of Hamilton, Upper Canada:" In 1842 the receipt of Customs amounted to 7,6041., which was considered to be a large sum when compared with Toronto, which, for the same period produced only 8,3004 During the last year it will be seen that the Customs amounted to 12,1901., being an excess over the previous year of 4,5861. The canal tolls have also increased to 1,9861., which, added to the Customs, makes the very large 'sum of 14,1761. To this sum may be added, duty on ar ticles in bond, 2,750/. ; so that the whole amount of customs and tolls for the year is 16,9261. This great increase is owing to the very advanta geous natural position of Hamilton. Placed at the head of Lake Ontario, having_ excellent roads di verging from it in all directions—an extensive and fertile country—hardy industrious farmers, and skilful artisans— enlightened and enterprising merchants—the town of Ha milton must in a few years become one of the largest in Western Canada, and also one of the most prosperous. Among not the least causes to accomplish this end, will be the enlargement of Burlington Canal, which is now in progress. " When this is completed, aided by the improvement on the navigation of the St. Lawrence, the appearance of sea-going vessels in our harbour will be no novelty. Actual Customs Duties, ending Jan. 5,1844........... .£12,190 Canal Tolls, ending Dec. 31, 1843 1,986 Articles in bonded warehouses, which may probably be enlarged before the opening of navigation 2,750 Total amount of Customs and Tolls £16,926" It is satisfactory, to observe, now that we are upon the subject of British North America, that the timber-trade generally israther active, some important sales of the 'West India staple, in addition to Baltic and American woods, being announced at Liverpool for the end of the month. The Stock Market looks very firm again to day, and there are bona fide dealings to support it, in the almost entire ab sence of speculative operations. Consols for immediate transfer have been marked 99i to par, and for time 991 to par. Exchequer bills have been steady at 765., and Indian Bonds at 935. premium. The broker acting for the Savings Banks, &b., has taken Re duced Three per Cents. at 99*. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 103 to the Reduced 1021 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 99 to 3. Long Annuities have realised 121 to 7-16. There has been very little doing_in the . Foreign Bonds, but they participate in the firmness of our own market. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 25 to 25* 1, and the Three per Cents., 361 to 361 and 37, and the Passive Q. Mexican hare improved to 35i. Peruvian are quiet at 294 1 and Bra zilian rather heavy at 801. Dutch Bonds are rising again, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. having touched 60/ to 61i. The Five per Cents. continue at 1001 to 1001. Railway Shares are very passive :—Birniingham have im proved 1281 and 124 premium. Croydon also are higher, and the few others dealt in . support the previous value. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, APRIL 24.—We have had a quiet market , to-day ;, prices generally continue firm.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND )übttc Iptnton, " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. Louis Philippe has presented to the Chamber of Peers his statue at full length, in marble, in his royal robes executed by M. Jector. It was conveyed on Sunday to the Luxem bourg, and placed in the hall preceding the old Chainber. In the same hall has also been hung a large picture in wax, re• presenting the great legislators under the inspiration of the Gospel. At the summit of, the picture is Christ presenting the Gospel to the world, attended by the four Evangelists. In the foreground are, in different groups, all the great law givers from the time of Constantine the Great down to Louis Philippe. A fetter from Barcelona, of the 18th, states, that seven un fortunate persons suspected of being Carlist refugees were shot within the Spanish frontiers a few days previously. The Sentinelle of Toulon announces that, on the morning of the 18th inst., with a breeze from the west, Admiral Parseval Duchesne, with his squadron, consisting of the Ocean, Jemmappes, Inflexible, and Suffren, of the line, the frigate Belle Poule, and the steam-frigate Asmodee, sailed on a cruise of prdctice for the Islands of Hyeres, where they came to an anchor at two o'clock. The corvette Lamproie also took her departure with dispatches for Oceania. The Countess Beauchamp has arrived in Paris, at the Hotel de Bath, Rue de Rivoli. The Courrier Francais states that M. de Lesseps, the late French Consul at Barcelona, but who is at present in Paris, is to be appointed Consul-General of Egypt, in the room of M. Lavalette, who removes to another station. The States of Hanover have resumed their sittings. At the date of the last accounts they were engaged on a Bill for the amelioration of the system of public education. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Russia left Darmstadt on the 18th for St. Petersburgh. A letter from Frankfort, of April 17, in the Augsburgh Gazette, has the following :—" On the occasion of Prince Oscar's accession to the throne, Prince de Vasa has written from Darmstadt to all the great Powers, to say that, in the present position of affairs, he should certainly abstain from all demonstration ; but that he did not intend, on that ac count, to forego his own claim, as well as that of his family, to the throne of Sweden." C OUR.T —31".A.131110N.A.21 Her Majesty's birthday drawing-room to-day was brilliantly attended. Many splendid files by the leaders of the beau monde are understood to be in preparation, and several Royal strayers from the Continent are expected to visit the-metro polis during the season. The Duchess of Hamilton, accompanied by the Countess of Lincoln, arrived in Portman-square on Wednesday even ing from Hamilton Palace, Lanarkshire, where his Grace, whose health is improved, is still staying.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in consequence of the late fatal accident at ore of the termini of the Dover Railway, have ordered that the iron roof being constructed by Mr. John Rigby for the new boiler manufactory and foundry, built by Mr. Rolt, at the Woolwich Dockyard. should be tested to ascertain its utmost strength. The de partment for the use of the boiler-makers is 228 feet in length and 62 feet in breadth, over which the span of the iron roof extends at the height of about 40 feet. The usual weight or strain considered a sufficient test of the security of a roof of this dimensions is four tons on two principals, oi at the rate of 101bs. weight to the square foot. This weight was applied without the least visible deflection, and addi tional weights were added to test the greatest strain the roof would bear, without any part giving way. The mon ster chimney attached to the extensive boiler factory and foundry has had the wooden roof with which it is covered in during the winter removed, preparatory to workmen being employed on the Ist of May to ra i se it to its ultimate height. which - will be about ten feet higher than the Monument near London-bridge.

Captain Grover has just received letters from Dr. Wolff, dated Teheran, Feb.l2. The doCtor had been received With great distinction by the King of Persia, who recollected hav ing met him at Meshed twelve years ago, when he was only Prince Royal, and reminded him of their conversation. The doctor rode on horseback in full Canonicals, accompanied by Colonel Shiel in his uniform, going, to and returning from the Court. He then visited the Ambassador, recently arrived from Bokhara; who denied in toto the fact of the execution of our friends. The Ambassador' and the at;achis rose when he entered the room, treated him with the greatest civility and respect, and the Ambassador expressed a strong desire of ac companying him to Bokhara. The doctorwas to leave Teheran on the 14th of F e b ruar y, accompanied by an escort, ordered by the King, and by Raid), who had been servant to both Stoddart and Conolly : he had been bastinadoed at Bokhara, by the Anieer's order, on account of his faithful attachment to his misters, and had exposed his life by going to Cabul. The doctor had also seen the Ambassador of the King of Khiva, an enemy of the King of Bukhara, and he could give no information whatever concerning the death of the captives. "Therefore," says the doctor, "whilst I beg you not to be too sanguine of my success, I also beg you not to despair of it ; for as all the Persians. I have hitherto seen, tell me, Afalloont west, nothing, is certain about it' . . . . you must not expect from me au exact and detaile d journal, for I . shall neither carry ink nor paper with me, and 1 shall write to you in Persian from Bokhara, and send the letters through the medium of the Anieer, in case Stoddart and Conollf are alive; should they not be alive,. I shall not write at All until I have left the frontiers of Bokhara." Colonel Shiel's exertions hare - been unremitting. THE SOVEREIGN PRINCES OF THE HOUSE OF GONZAGA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—An erroneous notice relative to my hereditary pos sessions of Mantua, and the Sovereign Princes of the house of Gonzaga, having been inserted m the Gazette Universel d'Augsbourg, dated Ist of tliis month, No. 92, I avail myielf of your valuable journal to observe :- Ist. That the statement therein contained is untrue of Mantua ever having belonged to the Emperors of Germany: on the contrary, historical faeti and authentic documents prove that the family of Gonzaga reigned there during seven centuries, according to the salique law 'derived from the Capitulars of Charlemag,ne, and consolidated in this country on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Hugo, grandson of Lothaire, King of Lombardy, with a noble Princess of Lom bardy, named Gonzaglien, or Gonianglien, whence he adopted thi name of Gonzaga. The empire of Germany was at this time, and long after, torn in pieces by dissensions and intrigues, and in conse quence of the powerful aid granted byFrancois First de Gon zaga to the Emperor Sigismond, he came in person to Mantua in 1433, for the express purpose_ of signing a diploma con firming Francois de Gonzaga sovereign lord of Mantua to perpetuity for him and his posterity masculine, in all the branches, in the titles and privileges of Sovereign Margrave of Mantua and Princes of the Roman empire. 2d. As far' as regards the personal allusion cited also as being intended - for me in the Almanac/toy" Gotha, in the year 1838, I declare positively that 'I never authorised, directly or indirectly, any such insertion, as the details in reference to my family ate false. So far from approving the article (as it is said in the Gazette d'Augsbourg), I have several times de manded its rectification, but uselessly ; and the Editor of the Almanach in his last letter, dated the 13th July, 1843, " en treated me most humbly to excuse him, as it could be detri mental to his interests as publisher of the Almanach if he made any insertion regarding me or my family." 3d. It is equally false that the title of Murzymowski belongs to us from the marriage of a Margrave Valentine de Gonzaga with a Princess Lubomirski. We have adopted this title since the first marriage of my father, Prince Joseph Gonzaga di Castiglione with the. Princess Suzoff, Countess of Murzynowski, whose name may be found in the list of the ladies chauoiness, in the chapter of the noble order, f the four Emperors, and admitted before 1789 under the title of her Serene Highness the Princess Helen Gonzaga Castig lione, at the same time as Marie Antoinette, and the Dau phine de France. 4th. As to my adoption of the title of Murzy nowski, in Germany or elsewhere, I consider myself at liberty to do so, in the same manner as other Sovereign Princes, who frequently select an inferior title for political motives, or for economy on their travels, or when not ac tually in their dominions. The author of the article in the Gazette d'Augsbourg ex presses his thanks to the Count Pompei detta for the infor mation contained in his genealogy of the Princes of Gonzaga. I cannot cite this persoa as . an impartial historian, as he writes under the influence of the Austrian Government, and occupies actually a post at Milan of some importance. I confirm the facts recorded in the memoir of the Com mander• Pourret des Gauds, member of'several literary societies, and as a general reply to all 'attacks for the future, and at the present moment, I will maintain my protestation of the 26th of April, 1843, addressed to all the 'Kings, Princes, and Potentates of Europe, and my lawful rights to the throne of my ancestors, before a congress of Sovereigns, and in face of all Europe, whenever the occasion presents itself. You will oblige me by inserting this.answer to the Gazette d'Augsbourg as soon as postible, in your estimable journal ; and believe me, Sir, yours truly, ALEXANDER PRINCE DE GONZAGA, Boulogne-s r-Mer, April 2 1) 2, 4 18U e-o . f u , THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE EXETER COFFEE HOUSE, STRAND.—Mr. Mason, if Brighton, who was lately robbed of 701. at the above coffee-house, remained till Tues day morning, in the hopes of being able to find the missing 45/., and by .a most singular.circumstance.he recovered his stolen property. Being Much annoyed by a London bug on Monday night, he told the landlord of it, who forthwith resolved upon having his beds taken down. On removing the bed,' in* which the prisoner Gill (who is charged with the robbery) .slept on the night of the robbery, the chamber maid felt a hard substance in the mattress, and on minutely examining the mattress they discovered that a portion of it, where the lump was felt, had been sewn up in a very bung ling manner, and on unripping the stittlies they discovered Mr. Mason's purse, partly burnt, but containing the missing 45/. This circumstance will establish the theft against the prisoner. Had the prisoner secreted the whole of the stolen property in the mattress, he would, without doubt, have es caped detection. BRUSSELS, APRIL 22.—Scarcely anybody in this country recollects to have seen vegetation in general so for ward in the month of April as it now is. The promenades, the fields, and the numerous gardens in the environs of the capital, look as -if we were already . in the middle of May. This extraordinary precocity his occasioned another Thaw menon which, indeed, is not so rare ; and that is the ap pearance, in some parts of Brabant, of a raulitudeuf M.4ybsiga.
