The Journal des Debats publishes a list of the State prisoners set at liberty by the late ordonnance- Among thein are MM. DUPOTY, Dttroua, and BAZIN, implicated in the attempt made by QUENISSET on the life of Lours PHILIPPE; seven who took part with Louis NAPOLEON in his ridiculous expedition to Bou logne, and BOURDON and seventeen others convicted of illegal proceedings during the disturbances at Paris in 1839. Several of the journals again comment on this act of Clemency, and among others, the Consti tutionnel, in the worst taste. After a brief reply to an article on the subject which appeared in the Journal des Debats, M. TRIER'S journal thus sums up the the grievances of France, and the burden of the la mentation is the insult offered to the nation by the hospitable reception of the French KING in this coun try :—" In the panegyric which the Ministry thus pronounces upon itself there is a phrase which has been remarked upon by every one who has read it for its assurance, which almost amounts to buffoonery. This is the passage :—' Never, whatever has been said, whatever may be said hereafter—never has France been more respected abroad than she is at the present day: . Respected ? By whom, if you please ? By England, perhaps, which has just imposed upon you the payment of a sum of money to a man whose speeches have already cost the lives of twenty-five or twenty-eight of our brave soldiers; by England, which, after having driven you out of New Zealand, has interdicted you from occupying a little islet in the middle of the sea, and rendered your remaining in it impossible!

It is distinguished by his usual good sense, patriotism, and moderation, and, we may say, every statement he makes is founded on truth. No man ever did more for Spain in the same time than the Duke of VIITORIA ; he put down the Carlists, he es tablished a free constitution, paved the way for the emigration of Queen CHRISTINA, the enemy of liberal institutions, an 1 in every respect adhered to the charter, which he hoped would restore peace and pros perity to Spain. All his constitutional acts, however, were treated with neglect ; an adventurer, the agent of CHRISTINA, intrigued with the troops, landed in Spain from a French port; CHRISTINA speedily followed, and the whole country was placed under martial law. It still remains in nearly the same position. The Cortes, it is true, have been summoned, but there has not been even the semblance of a free election, military despo tism and the imprisonment, expulsion, or banishment of ESPARTERO'S supporters, have been the orders of the day ; and the Spaniards, as far as regards their boasted charter, are as abject and helpless as the serfs of Russia. ESPARTERO may well lament the fate of his countrymen, he may lament that his patriotic designs were frustrated by Frenchmen and renegade Spaniards, but he has this consolation in his exile — he took no selfish advantage of his high station, he honourably performed his duty as Regent and Com mander-in-Chief, and was driven from Spain by men who preferred slavery to liberty. The returns for the year and the quarter are in all respects 'atisfactory. Every branch of trade and commerce appears to be in the most prosperous state. The Custams' Dufy has increased to an enormous extent; the Excise, the Stamps, and the Post-office also exhibit favourable symptoms of improvement ; and in not one department, taking circumstances into account, is there a falling off. We w ill give the viocipal returns in detail, fur the satisfaction of pubiic. The total revenue produced by the Customs fo the year amounts to 20,243,5051., showing an in crease on the year of 1,723,1651., and an increase on the quarter of 4733471. The Excise has not varied much, hut, on the whole, is favourable, with the exception of the ;last quarter. The total amount for the year is 11,959,942/. ; increase on the year, 173,8981.; de crease on the quarter, 5,6601. There is an increase in the Stamps both for the year and the quarter; the increase on the former being 69,1291., and on the latter 15,3221.' The total revenue for the year is 6,533,385/. The Taxes produce 4,204,8551., showing a decrease on the year of 2,9371., while there is an increase on the quarter of 7,3391. The total amount of the Property-tax is 5,1.58,4701.; increase on the year, 106,413/. ; and decrease on the quarter, 89,193!. This, however, is no criterion of the revenue from this impost, as only the money received has been included in the returns, and large sums, probably, are yet due, leaving little doubt that this tax, which Sir ROBERT PEEL modestly calculated at about three millions and a half sterling, produces nearly the double. The public will rej - ,ice to learn that in one department, which in terests them all—the Post-office—there is a de cided improvement. The total amount for the year is 672,000/. The increase on the year is 82,000/., and on the quarter not less than 40,0001., a proof both of the increase of trade, and the successful working of the new system. The Miscellaneous exhibits a very small return, only 696,3571., showing a decrease of 948,004/. on the year ; but this falling off is easily accounted for. During the previous year large remittances were male from China as ransom, or compensation money, while this year there has been very little, with the exception of the last quarter, and during that period there is an increase of 203,2171. The total income for the year, including impreat and other moneys, with repayments in advance, amounts to 50,741,622/. The increase on the year is 2,390,264/., the decrease 994,9151.; the increase on the quarter 739,2251., decrease 218,2811.; leaving a total increase on the year of 1,395,349/., and on the quarter an increase of 520,9441. This is a gratifying proof of the energy, industry, perseverance, and indomitable spirit of the British nation. - Though grievously oppressed with taxes, though within the last two years trade has seen at the lowest ebb, and the Zollverein of Germany, fund the restrictions of other countries, threatened to injure our commerce, the people never despaired; they awaited their time, the manufacturers kept their mills An cl their workmen ready for every emergency, and 1, when the proper season came, they went to work in goo d earnest. For many years there has not been such activity displayed in the manufacturing districts as at the present mo ment, and th e state of the i s a proof of the fact.

The Ministerial papers contradict the reports in the English journals relative to the QUEEN'S health, and state that it is such as not to give the slightest uneasiness. We would infer from this however, that her MAJESTY is really not in the best health. Rumours of plots and forthcoming risings in the Basque provinces are given in some of the papers, and positively contradicted in ilthpr% There is no doubt however, that a Carlist GIBRALTAR, OCT. Z.—A circumstance occurred yesterday, shortly after the departure of the Great Liverpool, which has caused no little sensation in this place, and will doubtless induce severe comment, if not disagreeable consequences, on the part of the Spanish authorities.

This failing to produce the desired effect, 1 , a second gun was fired with more direct aim; but as the Spanish vessel found herself considerably out of range of the shot, she continued her course, disregard ing both intimations, and (it is currently reported) still refusing to show her colours. A gun of much greater calibre was then brought to bear on her from the battery, when so correct was its direction, that the shot told with fatal effect, and she sunk shortly afterwards, whilst vainly endeavouring to make for Algesiras. Very fortunately a Portuguese vessel was Lot far distant, and with its timely aid, as well as some of the boats of the war vessels in the bay, the crew was saved. Herald. On the 10th of October, 1844, her Majesty Queen Isabel 11. is constitutionally called upon, in con formity with the fundamental law of the monarchy, to begin to govern the kingdom. On this da . y, dis charging a pledge of loyalty, honour, and conscience, I was to have placed in her Majesty's hands the royal authority which the Cortes, in virtue of their constitutional prerogative, had deposited in mine. From the moment the national will selected me amongst my fellow-citizens to elevate me to the Regency, I looked forward to this day as to the brightest of my public station, when, from the pinnacle of supreme power, I was to have descended to the quietude of domestic life, devoting my last words to the banner of the Constitution which the people had raised to recover their liberties—that glorious banner under which the people had shed their blood, and with which they had, twice during the present age, saved the dynasty of their Sove reigns. Providence, however, has not allowed the accomplishment of my hopes; and instead of speak ing to you surrounded by the splendour of a royal and solemn ceremony, I address you from my exile. MONEY ANL) COMMERCIAL ‘..E WS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The English Securities closed steadily. Consols at 100+ for Money, sad 1004 -1 for Account. Bank Stock improved to 2094 to 210.

There are no late arrivals to-day. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's proprietors have held their meeting to-day, and the report of the Direc tors seem to have given more satisfaction, showing an in creased revenue and a diminished expenditure. The Company is certainly better managed than when it was formerly deemed necessary to make certain strictures upon its proceedings in another part of The Sun, but even now it appears that Government has been compelled to re mind the Company that they have something further to do in order to fulfil their contract. In fact, slight as it may appear, the remaining link—from Jamaica to Nicaragua —is of great importance in perpetuating steam communi cation; especially as Mr. Wheelwright's new plan, for establishing steamers to take the Pacific coast, not at present enjoying the advantage, will come into operafrom tion next year, and afford facilities for a quicker passage Australia. The Public Securities are to-day again quiet, and there is not much buoyancy o b se rvable. Consols have been 1001 4, for present transfer, and about 100+ 1, for account. Exchequer Bills realise 755. to 775. premium. East India Stock realises 289, and Bank Stock 2091, there being less doing in these also. The private advices from Madrid and other parts of Spain, continue to allude to the uneasy state of public feeling in that country, and, even allowing for exaggera tion, it is impossible to resist the impression that the Government of Narvaez is not so secure or popular as may be necessary for its endurance. The Bonds, there fore, are necessarily heavy, the Fire per tents. being 234 1, and the Three per Cents., 3414. Portuguese Converted Bonds have been firmly supported again, being 501 to 514. Mexican Stock is at 354 4 for the Active ; at 151 for the Deferred ; at 141 for Colombian ; and at 85. for Brazilian. Danish Stock has been marked 891 ; and Dutch Two-and-a. Half per Cents., 621 1. The Share Market is very passive also, and although prices are steady generally, there is no particular feature. South- Western and Croydon are easier, while Mid land, South-Eastern, and French Shares are in request. PRICSE OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List) 3 per Cent. Consols.

RAILWAYS. _PAUL PER SHARK It is well known that there never was a more open, free, and general discussion, than that which pre ceded my appointment as Regent; I accepted the trust, not as a mural crown granted to victories, but as a trophy placed by the people on the banner of liberty. A faithful observer of the laws, I never transgressed them ; I neglected nothing tending to the welfare of the country ; every law presented to me by the Cortes, I readily sanctioned—the free action of justice was uncontrolled by the Government, which never usurped the functions of the other public authorities—and the sources of riches and prosperity received all the encouragement and protection which circumstances permitted. If, at any time, in order to maintain the purity of the law, I was compelled to have recourse to strong measures, it was justice, not the government, that decided on the fate of the hap less. I shall not descend to the details of my conduct as Regent—history will do me justice, and I submit to its inflexible judgment. History will say, with that impartiality not easy to be exercised by my contem poraries, whether I Ever aspired to anything but the welfare of my country, or was moved by any other thought than that of delivering, on this day, into her Majesty's hands, a nation prosperous within, and re spected abroad. History will show whether, in the midst of the vehement contests of parties, I ever fol- lowed any other device but that of saving liberty, the throne, and the laws, from the violence of contending passions. History will also explain the causes which arrested the completion of many useful reforms. When new disturbances were being prepared, I omitted nothing within the compass of the law to counteract them. I shall not look back, nor attempt to depict, the mournful events we must all deplore, and which, leaving me without the means of resistance, compelled me to seek an asylum in this hospitable land, protesting, before hand, in the name of the sanctity of the law, and of the righteousness of the cause. Spaniards—l protested, not urged by any motives of ambition, which I never contemplated, but be cause the dignity of the nation, and of the crown, thus required it at my hands. As the constitutional representative of the throne, I could not silently see the ckstruction of the monarchical principle; entrusted with royal authority, I was bound to guard it against every aggression ; invested with executive power, it was my duty to raise my voice when I beheld all the laws trampled under foot. The aim of my protest was to avoid the pernicious precedent of coun tenancing, in the name of the throne, the destruction of the throne itself. It was not a war-cry—it spoke not to passions or parties—it was the plain statement ofa fact, the defence of principles, and an appeal to posterity. Removed from you, Spaniards, the slightest complaint in the kingdom has found an echo in my breast—not a single victim has been bereft of my compassion. When circumstances may allow me to return to my beloved country, I, as one issued from the people, shall again dwell among the people—unmoved either by rancour or recollections, satisfied with the share which has fallen to my lot in securing public freedom, the enjoyment of its advantages will be my only desire in my private station—but, if the institutions recovered by the Spaniards should be endangered, the nation, to whose call I have ever responded, shall find me ready to offer my life in her . support. If Provi dence, however, in its inscrutable decrees, should doom me to die in exile, resigned to my fate, my last and most fervent prayers will be for the inde pendence, the liberty, and the glory of my country.

The Belgian officers sent to Metz, to be present at the reviews which have just taken place there, have returned to Brussels. They all speak in the highest terms of the cordial reception given them by the French army, and they cannot find terms to express their admiration of the precision with which the troops executed those fine manoeuvres. The Journal du Commerce, speaking of the refusal of the Government to confirm the sale of the British Queen, says, that if the second attempt to sell, it does not prove impossible, it is thoug ht that it will be given up to the Navy Board to be ta ken to pieces, and that the materials will be employed in the construction of some gun-boats and schooners, of which we are in much need, for, besides the Louisa Maria and the Duke of Brabant, now fitting out at Bruges, we have only the Congress. which is so old and rotten that it cannot move without risk of sinking.

LEIPSIC, SEPT. 29.—1 must acquaint you with an affair which causes a great sensation here, because ill disposed journals may very likely spread all sorts of false statements respecting it. His Majesty the King of Saxony, before his journey to England, made purchase of a Jewish jeweller to the amount of 30,000 dollars for presents. On distributing them it appeared that most of the stones were false, for which reason the return of all the presents is requested. THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—Java TEA.—If, as appears by . a letter from Calcutta, the comp e tition w ith J av a indigo, which, on account of it s goo d qua lity to otherindigoes, begins to alarm tho:indigo merchants at Calcutta, our trade in Java tea begins, in like manner, to alarm the Chinese tea merchant, and they can find no better means to discountenance it with the opinions of the consumer, than to deny it the good qualities which are acknowledged in Europe. 'I 'hen the Semaphore Free Press, in its number of the 2d of May last, says that, in 1842, Java tea was sold at such a low price th a t it seems t o be hardly worth while to cultivate it ; and it concludes with affirming that the cultivation o f J ava t e a has completely disap pointed the expectations that had been conceived of it. The spirit of rivalry is but too manifest in this article, and accordingly M. Jurobron, Inspector General of the tea plantations in Java, has victoriously refuted the assertions c,f the Semaphore Free Press. So long as the Chinese tea had no rival, people were obliged to make use of it. Thus congou has been sold for souchong, the latter for pekoe, which teas have been found to be injurious to health. Not l on g a g o speci mens of Chinese teas, having been chemically analysed, were found to contain deleterious ingredients, and this is the case with almost a ll the g reen teas of China. Dut.,h papers, Oct. 9. CARLSRUHE, SEPT. 28.—The Minister of Finance has issued an ordinance, dated the 14th of September, by which, from the I st of October this year, coals may he imported into the Grand Duchy of Baden duty free, it having been agreed between the Governments of the several States of the Customs' Union, that it should be left to each of them to reduce, or wholly to abolish, the import duty on coals, as should appear to be necessary.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Oct 5. We are pleased to learn that it is in contemplation to form a line of railway from Mallow to Killarney. We have this information from the highest authority.—Cork Examiner. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtt eptitton. " Who runs may read." POREION. The Constitutionnel says the Ministers continue to go ;o St. Cloud nearly every morning. We are told that ;hey render accounts of all affairs to the Duke de Nem - ours, who communicates their substance to the King, in a correspondence regularly kept up. An active service of estafettes is organised between St. Cloud and the Chateau d'Eu, and measures are also taken for the most prompt conveyance of intelligence to and from England during the King's absence. We are assured (says the Patrie) that the Minister of Finances is only waiting for the conclusion of the loan of 300 millions to retire from office. Marshal Soult: also seems much disposed to retire. New negotiations have taken place with a view to Marshal Bugeaud's becoming Minister of War. A letter from Constantia, 24th ult, in the Algerie, in forms us that the taxes in that province this year amount to three millions of francs, and that they are paid with much more promptitude and regularity than could have been expected. The Sentinelle of Toulon states that a telegraphic dis patch has been received there, ordering the Triton man of-war to proceed to Brest, and the Jemmapes to join the squadron of Admiral Parseval-Deschenes, They are both to sail on the 15th. The Africain arrived on Sunday at Havre from Hayti. The captain reports that, on the 10th of August, General Guerrier, the President, received the submission of General Pierrot, who commands the army of the North, and that immediately .after the rejoicings which took place on this occasion, the two generals set out at the head of the army for Cape Haytian. The country was perfectly tranquil. A letter from Rome, in a German paper, states that a new creation of cardinals is expected, and that amongst them will be the Archbishop of CologeO, The lianoper Galetio of the Std publishes a Royal de cree, extending to the city of Hamburgh the same advan tages for merchandise, as regards the tolls of Brunshausen, as are already enjoyed by other parts of Germany, and Denmark and 13eigium, We learn from Posen, 25th ult., that a strong spirit of persecution on the part of the inhabitants generally against the Jewish inhabitants having been manifested, the authorities have received orders from the Govern ment to give all possible protection to the Jews, and to punish with severity persons who are guilty of this per secution. It appears by a letter from Vienna, of the 29th ult., that the Emperor of Austria has positively ordered the suppression of lotteries in his States, from the Ist of January next. The persons who keep the lottery aices, and whose appointments were all for life, are to receive a small pension and a sum of money out of the profits of the lotteries for the present year. ' The railroad from Nuremberg to Bamberg was opened on the Ist inst. A FrankfOrt journal states from Bremen that 3,000 emigrants from the north of Germany are waiting thoro for embarkation to Texas, on the territory purchased by a company at Frankfort. LAW AND POLICZ. A bankrupt laceman, named Jonathan Thomas Mound, who had carried on business in Birmingham, was exa mined on Wednesday before Mr. Commissioner Evans, touching a deficiency in his account of 735/. He said he had his pocket picked of that amount in the streets of London on the 17th of August. The Learned Commissioner said that this was one of the most extraordinary stories he had ever heard, and not one tittle of which did he believe. His Honour, emphatically addressing the bankrupt, said, " There is not enough in the evidence at present to justify my committing you to Newgate, but for your own sake I would advise you to give up this money to your creditors, for I am sure you have it." The petition of Benjamin Carpenter, a licensed vic tualler, was dismissed by Sir C. F. Williams. The criminal business for the October Session for Middlesex has commenced at the Sessions-house, Clerken well-green. The calendar contained the names of sixty four prisoners for trial, fifty-five of whom were indicted for felony, all of which were of a trifling nature. The remaining nine stood charged with misdemeanours. Amongst the cases disposed of was that of Charles Augustus Cooke, convicted of stealing two baskets and a quantity of pears, the property of William Attwood. It having been ascertained that he had been previously confined in a lunatic asylum, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, for the purpose of enabling the medical men to ascertain the state of his mind, on which the prisoner broke out into the following rhapsody : " The fact is, you are as mad as I am; but I'm not mad. No, I'm not ; but I think you ought to be here in the dock instead of me. I have seen greater rogues in the court to day than I am. Send me out of the country, for its both unpleasant and inconvenient to remain here ; fur I have spent the greater part of my life in madhouses and prisons." At Guildhall a young man, named John M'Gregor, a shopman in the employ of Messrs. Hall and Allan, drapers, St. Paul's Churchyard, was brought before Mr. Ald. Copeland, charged with robbing his employers. '1 he prisoner said he wished to confess the charge was true, and he hoped the magistrate would be as lenient with him as he could. Evidence having been gone into to prove the charge, the prisoner, who declined signing his confession, was committed for trial. Mr. Bond gave judgment at Queen-square in the case of Charles Lowing, of Hatton, near Hounslow, who was charged at this Court about a week ago with hawking hay without a licence. The learned magistrate said, that as this was the first case of the sort that had come under his notice he had adjourned it, in order to make himself better acquainted a ith the law on the subject. He was now perfectly satisfied that it was an offence within the meaning of the Act, and he must, therefore, convict de fendant in the penalty of 10/., or in default commit him for three months. The penalty was paid. Andrew Quick, a tall fashionably dressed young man, was brought before Mr, Maltby, at Marlborough-street, charged, by various tradesmen, with having obtained goods under false pretences. That the prisoner has - • :-ed the whole of them, there could be no doubt, tvl matters so cleverly, that in every but he had mantic; case the transaction resolved itself into a simple debt, and he was consequently discharged. At Alarylebone, after the cli§posal. of the night charges, a tall athletic Frenchman entered the miter office, and having accosted Jones, the usher, to whom he stated that he wished to make an application of mull importance, he was introduced to the sitting magistrate, Mr, Raw haw!), who inquired the nature of his business. The applicant had, on a previous occasion, applied at one of the City police-courts for a warrant against the Icing of the French, and he now applied to the magistrate to for ward a paper to the Queen, with the request that her Majesty would bring it under the notice of King Louis Philippe. Mr. liawlinson of course refused, but pro mised to look over the papers himself, with which the Frenchman seemed satisfied. William Duval, an American sailor on board the Prince Oscar, an English vessel, at present lying in the London Dock, was charged, at Lambeth-street, with the ferocious act of " gouging," or forcing one of the eyes of his Captain (Lawson) from its socket, and inflicting other injuries upon him. The prosecutor, who is in the London Hospital, is su severely injured as to be unable to attend, and the prisoner, who in reply to the charge carelessly said that he was in such a state of mind at the time as to be unable to control his passion, and uncon scious of what he did, was remanded. . Mr. William Frederick Bickford, an officer in her Majesty's Customs, was committed from the same police court, on a charge of stealing a small chest, containing upwards of 141bs. of tea, the property of the St. Katha rine's Dock Company. At Woolwich, Eliza Fuller was charged with carrying and conveying ashore one pound and three-quarters of foreign cigars, liatsle to forfeiture under the Customs. Being her first offence she was let off with a fine of 20s.

The revision of the list of voters for the borough of Warrington and Latchford has terminated in a gain of 32 to the free trade party, in consequence of which, it is said, the Tories are in dismay, as, should an election take place on this list, the return of a free trader is certain. The blue ribbon placed at the disposal of the Premier by the recent death of the Duke of Grafton, occasions the eighth vacancy that has occurred in the role of Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter since the accession of the present Ministry to office. The Hon. Mr. Denman revised the list of voters for the borough of Liverpool on Tuesday and Wednesday. There were thirteen claims on the part of Tory freemen, nine on the part of Tory householders, and twenty-seven . - on the part of Before' , house holders.

I reside immediately opposite Mr. Ifayter house, and am his solicitor here ; and in his temporal absence beg to state that no part of his premises has be e° on fire ; and consequently your Correspondent's report is a fabrication, and wholly untrue. I am happy to add there has been no incendiary fire here or in the neighbourhood, and I think there is 0 1 fear of one, unless your unprin c ipl e d Correspondent should be amongst us—his feeling no right-minded 1ne. 1 . ) , can envy.
