LEGER.—Never has there been known, during any m ~cinrier year, a hi g h er d egree o f i n t eres t w ith res p ec t t o the m2eision of the St. Leger race, than that which prevails on l hands at the present t time :. and it may be fairly questioned e th on any former occasion, the qualities of many of the —3Pective competitors in this great struggle were so superior .f a y s „ i :' this year the case. The public performances of El . 's, o it ure, of Beeswing, of Wedge, of Trapball, of Gladiator, fully, entitle them to be classed as superior horses, evincing, as Z e Y, have done, capabilities in point of speed which is fully up th e St. Leer mark, and which may serve to establish the - "elusion, that, as for the first time, the greatest rivals of the Year will be brought together, the victor must prove a horse C‘f extraordinary powers, even taking into the estimate the Probability that he will at the finish have little to spare. Hence arises the ti reat interest in question—with the firm con ction expressed g on one hand that Elis or Vulture must win, and, on the other, that no one can last with Bloomsbury as sisted by hi s congecners from the same stable. It is true, the b rother to St. Giles occu • the most prominent position in pies fie betting good ian' ; and, cons id er i ng that his trainer possesses asl ire in GI • ing aside Gladiator, it may be presumed,—throwing re assumption that he is too high in the betting scale to win, "ld tha televatedposition onl y tend to increase his _ his that .11 'Wall and discomfiture, —it may be presumed, we repeat, h a d s . Possessed of extraordinary powers. Yet, as he has done i;;",lng in public running —a s h e h as never b een p l ace d s id e s icie with his many and formidable competitors,—the favour he is held can only be attributed to highly favour ‘`),e accounts from his training ground, seeing also who is his Ch It user, and the reasons which have induced that purchase. Mau': be admitted with respect to Giles that he is placed in the hand s o f t h ose w h o are capabl e o f j u d g i ng what he can, •41(1 what he cannot do • but it is an old and a true axiom, th at a reliance upon private trials is generally attended with 4 : failure in public running, especially amid the heat and ex :kitetuent and struggle and strife of such a thundering race as ex the St. Le Fom what we have said on a previous occasion a o _ger. r with the preceding facts and ob- Puolic running, coupledw _e l rations, the conclusion may be safely , drawn that this year t o il f e „ S t• Leger will be a race of the most closely contested and I a most deeply interesting character.—Doncaster Gazette. . . _ 1313TTING AT MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.

MANCIIET7EII, TIICTRSDAY.—HanzIers erltorio of " The Messiah," attracted this morning to the Collegiate Church a most numerous and fashionable assemblage. After the grave and solemn overture, Braham opened with his manly declama tion in " Comfort ye my people." Mr. Machin was assigned " Thus saith the Lord of Hosts," and " But who may abide," in the first part ; the air, " Thou art gone up on high," in the second ; and the recitative and air, " Behold, I tell you a mystery," and "the trumpet shall sound," in the last. Mr. Terrail's counter-tenor was scarcely audible in the recitative and air " Behold, a Virgin," and " Oh, thou that tellest." It should have been given to Mrs. A. Shaw, whose pathetic ex pression in the exquisite air " He was despised " is beyond all praise. Her natural pathos made a deep impression and pene trated the hearts of the audience. Mrs. W. Knyvett had the affecting air " I know that my Redeemer liveth," allotted to her, and succeeded in working upon the sensibility of the au dience. The " Hallelujah" was magnificently done, and the whole interior of the temple during its execution presented the most imposing appearance. The company, of course, were all standing, and the breathless attention and solemn awe which prevailed whilst the entire resources of the orchestra, and the energies of the:vocalists were called into requisition, inspired " thoughts to ascend to heaven." The glorious " Amen" terminated this most successful performance of "The Messiah." Great disappointment was of course experienced from the absence of Malibran, who, however, made the most desperate attempt to keep her engagement. She actually came to the church, but on her arrival was seized with hyste rics, and was taken back to her hotel. Friday Morning, Four o'Clock, We presume last night completing the series of concerts was the reason that the Theatre Royal was mote crowded than on any former occasion. The Duke of Brunswick, the Mar quis and Marchioness V Westminster, Lord and Lady Wilton, Lord C. Thynne, W. T. Egerton, Esq., and many families of distinction in the county were present. Hundreds of persons were compelled to leave, not being able to s find places even in the lobbies, for the purpose of hearing. The excellent arrange ments of the stewards prevented confusion, and there was little difficulty in getting to the reserved seats. The indisposition of Malibran caused some alterations ; Mrs. H. R. Bishop taking her part in the quartett " Mi manci la voce ;" Miss Clara Novello in the finale to " Fidelio ;" and Caradori Allan in the duet with Lablache. The solo, "Oh ! dolce incanto," was omitted. De Beriot's concerto was finely performed, and immensely applauded. There were no less than four encores in the second part ; namely, one of Corelli's variations, at which no person should feel surprised, Madame Caradori Allan in " Should he upbraid," Ivanoff in " Vivi tu," and Caradori Allan and Lablache in " Con pazienza." Mademoiselle Assandri and Mrs. H. R. Bishop had a very narrow escape of being compelled to repeat their respective airs. Ivanoff's triumph was complete in " Vivi tu," and the northern judges were in extasies, having had previously little opportunity of hearing him to advantage. Sir G. Smart con ducted, and Mori led the band. The latter, supported by Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Bishop, Begrez, and Richardson, the flutist, gives a concert at Tunbridge on Monday next ; at Maidstone on Tuesday ; Rochester Wednesday ; Canterbury Thursday ; Ramsgate Friday ; Hastings the succeeding Monday ; and Dover Tuesday. There is one more performance at the Col legiate Church this morning, and the festival terminates to night with the fancy dress ball, upon a scale of unexampled splendour. Malibran is now somewhat better. POCKET-PICKING AT THE BALL ON MONDAY, AND APPRE HENSION OF FOUR WELL-KNOWN THIEVES.—On Monday even ing last, during the dress ball at the Theatre and Assembly Rooms, Lord Blaney had his pocket cut and 401. taken from it. Mr. T. J. Trafford, of Trafford Park, was robbed of a gold snuff-box ; Mr. W. Garnett, jun., of a purse containing some gold ; and several other persons had their pockets picked. The police were informed of these numerous thefts, and, of course, their whole vigilance has been taxed to the utmost to discover the perpetrators. On Tuesday morning last, when the covered avenue leading from the church gates to the church was in a crowded state, the attention of Mr. Diggles, the deputy-constable of Salford, and Mr. Andrews, the de puty-constable of Bury, who were on duty at the Collegiate Church, was drawn towards two men, who appeared to be lurking in the avenue. Mr. Andrews observed also a third, who seemed to be intently watching him. They were then joined by a fourth man, upon which Mr. Diggles directed the attention of Mr. Thomas, our deputy-constable, to the men. They, however, finding themselves observed, made a rush out of the avenue, turned the corner of Cateaton-street, and made a circuit into Hanging-bridge, where they were taken by Mr. Thomas and the other officers. One of the men exclaimed, on being collared, " Don't hold me up to the flats, use me as a gentleman ;" the officer (we believe Mr. Diggles) complied with his request, and offered his arm to him. They were all taken into the Church, and immediately recognised by se veral gentlemen there, as having been at the dress ball on Alonday evening. They had each of them chains round their necks, which, on examination, proved to be made of a base metal, lackered so as to resemble gold. They were brought up at the New Bailey on Wednesday morning for examination. They gave their names John and Thomas Jones, John Wakeley, and William Attwell. The above statement was given as evidence by Mr. Thomas : and Mr. Diggles and four officers from Liverpool were present who knew the prisoners. One of the Liverpool officers, named Ainsworth, identified Attwell as having made his escape three years ago from the Ormskirk constable, who was conveying him by coach to Kirkdale, under a commitment for three months, for picking pockets at Ormskirk fair. The pri soner Wakeley was in custody two years and a half ago, on suspicion of robbing two Scotchmen of 1101. by persuading them to allow him to deposit their money in safety, pre tending to wrap it carefully in paper, and at the time, by a dexterous movement, substituting farthings instead of the sovereigns taken away. Attwell was seen on the Aintree course at the last races, in company with known blacklegs. I Mr. Thomas said that he knew two of the prisoners in Lon don. They were men of bad character. When they were taken they all said they came from different places. It was found, however, that three of their hats were bought at the same shop. Mr. Thomas had received information that the whole four had been at Warwick races, and had come from thence to Manchester. None of them would give anyinfor mation as to where they lodged. Thomas Jones pretended to describe the situation of the street, but so unintelligibly that nothing co uld be made from it. James Sawley, one of th e Manchester - beadles, said that he was on duty at the ball on Monday night, he observed the two Joneses and Attwell come out of the theatre without hats ; they went behind some coaches, where they were joined by two other men ; they must have gone back again unperceived to fetch their hats. Thomas Jones then asked Sawley what time that was, and, on being told about eleven o'clock, he said if the magis trate would send to his lodgings he could bring evidence to show that he was in bed at 10; but, as stated above, he gave such a rambling description of the situation of his lodgings that nothing could be elicited. Attwell described himself to be a resident at Walworth, in Surrey; he was a post-horse keeper, and the amount of his duties w as d ue on th e 12th o f thi s mon th. He should consider it a great favour if the IV.agistrate could discharge him, as, if he was not at home by a certain time, he should be fined. The four prisoners were remanded to Sa turday next, and Mr. Foster stated that they might, in the mean time, send for any witnesses they thought proper. We understand that John Jones is a returned transport ; he came back three years ago, having been abroad seven years. Two London pollee officers are coming down to attend the fancy dress ball, and they will no doubt have a thorough knowledge of the prisoners. The dialect of the prisoners is decidedly of the London kind ; and their manners seem to be such as apper tain to what is called the " swell mob" of the metropolis. EPJtESENTATION OF CORNWALL.—Sir Wm. Molesworth, for whose enlightened political principles we feel respect, has publicly announced to the electors of the Eastern Division of Cornwall, his intention to retire from the repre sentation of them, in the expected contingency of a dissolution The timid and irresolute Whigs of the count have taken of fence at the earnestness of Sir William, and 'lave plainly in dicated their hostility, grounded, it is said, on the Hon. Baronet's avowal that he is resolved to support a Reform in the House of Lords. " The Whig gentry of our county, who have gradually become more and more lukewarm in their sup port of me (says Sir William), and who were compelled alone by the temporary necessities of their party, reluctantly to as sist in my return, have now given such intimations of their future intentions as can only lead me to count on their influ ence being actively used to prevent my return." To confine within legitimate channels the aristocratic influence, the Bal lot is imperatively necessary. " With the Ballot, lam con vinced we could defeat any combination of Whigs and Tories ; and I should rejoice in setting both at defiance." Sir Wil liam counsels his constituents to elect no man who will not pledge himself to vote for the Ballot. " That question (he justly observes) is now the test of liberal principles. He mocks you, who talks of freedom of election, and at the same time refuses to protect you by secret suffrage. He neither deserves the name of a liberal, nor the support of liberals, who will consent to leave you at the mercy oki your landlord, when so easy a remedy can be obtained." THE TOWER OF COMARES.—From the Court of Lions we retraced our steps through the Court of the Alberca + or Great Fishpool ; crossinr , which we proceeded to the Tower of Comares, so called from the name of the Arabian architect. • It is of massive strength and lofty height, domi neering over the rest of the edifiee, and overhanging the steep hill-side, which descends abruptly to the banks of the Darro. A Moorish archway admitfed us into a vast and lofty hall, which occupies the interior of the tower, and was the grand audience chamber of the Moslem monarchs, thence called the Hall of Athbasgadqrs, It still bears the traces of,pasrmagr7f fieence. The walls are richly stuccoed, and decorated with Arabesques ; the vaulted ceiling of cedar-wood, almost lost in obscurity from its heighf, still gleams with rich gilding, and the brilliant tints orthe,Arabian pencil. On three sides. of the saloon are deep windows cut through theimmense thick ness of the walls„ tbe-balconies of which. look down - upon tile verdant ;;alley of the Darro, the streets and convents of the.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PORTUGAL. REVOLUTION IN LISBON. THE CONSTITUTION OF 1820 PROCL•IMED. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 16, 1 A. m.—The Manchester steamer, M'Kellar, master, arrived about two hours since from Spain and Portugal, bring intelligence from Lisbon up to the 10th inst. of the Constitution of 1820 having been proclaimed in that city on the night of the Bth, and of its having received the assent of the Queen as early as twn o'clock on the morning of the 9th. We have just convered with some passengers, per _Manchester, and we are informed that all passed off most quietly, and without a disposition, on the part of the military, to be in the least degree dis orderly. M. Varzeller has arrived passenger in the steamer, and is the bearer of despatches from the Portuguese Govern ment and our Ambassador. LISBON, SEPT. 10, HALF-PAST 11, A.M.—The Consti tution of 1820 was proclaimed this morning, and agreed to by the Queen, subject to the modification of the Cortes. The Government were taken by surprise, and the troops of the line, upon whom they relied, were the first to side with the National Guard, particularly the sth Cacadores, of which his Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand is Colonel. The Viscount da Sada Bandeira, and Count de Lumiares, have received her Majesty's commands to form the new Ministry. Symptoms of a disturbance were manifest yesterday, about 3 P.M., when the Terceira steam-boat, from Oporto, bringing the Opposition Deputies from the northern pro vinces was entering the Tagus ; groups of people assembled on the different wharfs, and as the public were prohibited from letting off rockets by an edict from the Civil Governor, dated the 7th inst.—evidently done to prevent their friends from welcoming them on their arrival—they stationed boats on, the river, and did so as the steamer approached. At 4 P.M. the representatives landed at the Praca de Commercio, where a large concourse was awaiting them with a band of music, playing the Hymn of 1820, which they preceded in procession, all wearing white hats. Vivas were frequently given, and at intervals " Viva a Constituciao de 1820" was distinctly heard. They passed through to Rua Augusta, followed by the Commandant of the Municipal Guard, when all of a sudden they shouted vivas for the Constitution of 1820, and requested the Com mandant to do the same, who answered " Viva a Carta, e a Rainha." An ill-natured fellow, from a window, threw a bottle at him, and the populace began to pelt him with stones. During the affray his horse was stabbed, and he was at last under the necessity of taking to flight to save himself. At sunset the drums of the National Guard beat to arms, some of them assembling in the barracks, and up to 10 o'clock everything was still without the appearance of a tumult, and it was not until that hour that some secret clubs met, that a revolution was determined upon, which they very quietly carried into effect by drawing up an ad dress to the Queen, couched I am told in very respectful language, expressing their loyalty to her person, and point ing out to her that the critical state of the nation demanded the Constitution of 1820 ; and a total change of the Minis try, which was presented to her Majesty by a deputation, composed of an officer chosen from each corps, at the Palace of Necessidades, at four o'clock this morning (where her Majesty arrived from Cintra last evening), which her Majesty assented to, subject to the modification of the Cortes, when they meet. Immediately afterwards Don Thomas de Mello Bryuer, one of the Lords in Waiting, was sent to the Rocio-square, where the National Guards and troops of the line are under arms, waiting the result, then commanded by General George de Avillez (Viscount de Requego), but had been during the night by an ex-de puty, Manoel Soares Caldeira, Colonel of militia, to ac quaint him with her Majesty's determination (when the Castle of St. George, and the Portuguese ships of war in the Tagus fired a royal salute), and to request that he would order the soldiers to their respective quarters ; but they resolved upon first marching to the palace, where they gave enthusiastic vivas to the Queen and Constitution of 1820, and peaceably retired. _ _ The Manchester steamer, by which this goes, sails at mid-day., Not a proclamation is yet out, and I fear I shall not be ablo to get you a copy of the address in time for her. FOUR O'CLOCK, P. M.—The Manchester has been de tained until five o'clock ; letters to be put into the bag at four, which just affords me a moment to enclose you a hurried translation from the supplement to the National (just out) of the address, and her Majesty's assent thereto, viz. : " The loyal National Guard and garrison of Lisbon di rect themselves to your Majesty to request you will as sent to their votes, and to those in general of the Por tuguese nation, to provide a remedy for the evils by which this magnanimous nation ha s been unfortunately carried to the brink of the most horrid abyss which can only be saved by the immediate proclaiming of the Con stitution of 1820, with such modifications as the consti tuted Cortes may think best. " And we cannot help beseeching your Majesty to choose a Ministry and councillors that. will promote the well be ing of the magnanimous Portuguese nation, the Constitu tional throne of which your Majesty fills. " The citizens who have the honour to address this re spectful petition to your Majesty are fully persuaded that your Majesty wishes nothing so much as the felicity of the Portuguese nation, anxiously await on the spot where they are now stationed, that your Majesty will benignantly accept their request." BARRACKS OF THE CARMO, SEPT. 10.—Her Majesty received the deputation with that sovereign kindness and benignity that characterises her ; and on being informed of the voice and requests of this loyal people, assented to their prayer, has been pleased to dismiss the Ministry, and charged their Excellencies Viscount da Sada Bandeira and Count de Lumiares with the formation of a new one, the latter with the Presidency and portfolio for the War Department, and the former, after being urged by the Queen and His Highness accepted the portfolio for the Finance Department. This agreeable news reached the Rocio-square at si x o'clock this morning, and was received with the greatest demonstrations of joy ; the troops immediately filed off and marched to the Necessidades-square, where they passed in military array in front of the palace of their beloved Sove reign, in whose countenance unequivocal signs were depicted how much she sympathised with the general feeling of the Portuguese. i • At twelve o'clock, a report having been spread that the Queen was wavering, in consequence of the advice she has subsequently received from her late Ministers, who are a the Palace, all the troops with one accord turned out, and marched to the Campo de Curigne, and from thence to the Necessidades, when the Queen appeared at the balcony, and assured them of her good faith, with which they were perfectly satisfied, and have just returned to their quarters again. Not a single life has been lost in the affair ; in fabt, no fighting took place. Colonel Gil Guedcs, of the first Cavalry, was'fired at ; his horse was shot under him, and he received a slight contusion in his arm while endeavouring to persuade them last night to disperse. 'The Tyrian packet, which was to have conveyed the mail of this evening has been detained until to-morrow, 11 p.m., to take the speech from the Throne, as the opening of the Cortes was fixed for to-morrow, which, of course, is now null and void. I hear it will be a difficult matter to form a Ministry—every person who has been applied to up to the present having refused. Exchange on London at 30, 57 per milree. The Liverpool steamers arrived yesterday from London and Falmouth, bringing nine thousand pounds worth of dollars. His Majesty's ship Cornwallis arrived on the 7th, from Plymouth, and the Malabar on the Bth. FRANCE. The journal La Pair states that the illoniteur of Friday will probably contain a Royal Ordinance, appointing M. Martin (du Nord) a member of the Cabinet of the 6th of ' September. M. Hebert, the present Attorney-General of the Royal Court of Mentz, will in that case be named Attorney-Geleral of the Royal Court of Paris, vice M. Martin (du Nord). M.

(Extract from a letter dated Thursday.) There is yet no Minister of Commerce, no Minister of War. A Council .was held yesterday at the Tuileries, presided at by- the King, to decide upon the expediency of forming a special Ministry of Commerce and Agrieulture, separate from the Public Works, or of uniting the fordier with the Ministry of Finance, because the individual at the head of the latter department (M. Duchatel) is the only member of the Cabinet acquainted with commercial matters. M. Martin (du Nord) was unable from illness to attend the Council. He yesterday .stated to all-his friends, and to Ministers, that he would enter the Cabinet as Minister for THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1836. Public Works, with (added to it) the Administration of the Roads and Bridges, which in the empire was a separate department. He objected to the commercial portion of affairs, because, being a deputy for the Department du Nord, the most manufacturing district of France, and the prosperity of which depended on the maintenance of the prohibition system, he could not with propriety, as Minister of Commerce, advocate ameliorations of the existing re strictive code, which might be injurious to the interests of his constituents. He equally objected to assuring the duration of the agricultural branch of administration, be cause in the next year it might become expedient to tax sugar of home production (from beet-root), and the Depart ment du Nord being the great field of that branch of in dustry, he could not consistently with his Parliamentary connexion with it support a measure calculated to act in juriously upon it. The Council separated without coming to any decision, because of the confusion and embarrassment that would arise out of the dislocation of departments so long connected. As, however, no fit person for the office of Minister of Commerce and Public Works can be found, both were again pressed on M. Martin (du Nord) this morning, but with little prospect of success. Marshal Molitor has positively refused the Ministry of War. " Nearly at the end of my career," said he, " I will not expose myself to the criailleries of the press. I am not an orator, and am determined on spending the re mainder of my life in peace." General Bernard has also been applied to. He has also refused the War Department, because, say his friends, al though an able, he is a modest and an irritable man ; and if attacked by a rude opponent in the Chamber, might in conveniently commit himself. The Duke de Montebello is, or at all events will be im mediately, recalled from Switzerland. PARIS, SEPT. I4.—There has been little news from Spain on 'Change. The most positive information that we have been able to collect, is that Gomez, notwith standing the advantage which he has just obtained over the division of Lopez, and the boldness of some of his late at tempts, is now in a situation which he himself considers as very precarious, being surrounded by several divisions which seem to combine their movements to hem him in on every side. A private letter from Madrid of the 6th, has the fol. lowing paragraph : " The present Ministry has no chance of duration. It is even unlikely that it will live till the time of the meet ing of the Cortes. Calatrava alone, though much ad vanced in years, is distinguished from his colleagues by some degree of energy. M. de Caballero, who is still in this province, will proba bly be called on by the patriotic party to form a new ad ministration. He will most likely surround himself with entirely new men, whom public opinion will point out to him, and who will be equal to the circumstances. The emigration continues. The Government gives no pass ports, but the Foreign Ambassadors give them to persons who are exposed to danger or alarmed. The Infanta Donna Louisa Carlotta has expressly for bidden all persons belonging to her household from leaving Madrid." The Eco of the sth announces that General Alvarez who succeeds General Manso, had left Madrid to put himself at the head of his division. General Espeleta had_ arrived at_Bayonne on the 9th. [t ►vas reported that M. Alcala Galiano had landed at Etochefort. SEPT. 15.--All the negotiations entered into hitherto in the nomination of a Minister of War, have failed. Mar shal Soult has refused, and is no more thought of. General Caeux has refused. General Dode de la Brunerie has re fused. Marshal Molitor has refused. General Bernard refuses.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—For some time we have not had so boisterous a market as this day; at the opening of the Bourse the price was 79f. 85e., but the Three per Cents. rose rapidly to 79f. 95c., buyers ; it is even said that some bar. gains were done at 801., when on a sudden there was a change in the market, and the Three per Cents. were done at 85f., and remained so, sellers. From the beginning the Spanish Active Stock showed a tendency to fall, the price was 29k, but they were done at 284 almost immediately after. About the close of the market several reports were in circulation, one was that the Queen had left Madrid on the approach of the Carlists. This was afterwards stated not to be the case, but that the Carlists have taken Valencia seems more likely. A sudden fall then ensued in the Spanish securities; the Actives were done at 27-1, but have since recovered to 28, buyers, the closing price.

The Royal order relative to the forced loan of 200 millions was published this morning, with the decree regu lating the sum to be paid by each intendency or financial district. The decree expressly states that the sum to be raised is not a contribution or tax to be paid by each Spaniard according to his means, but a loan to be hereafter repaid. According to the Royal order, the provincial deputa tions are to be charged with making out the lists of the per sons who are to be called upon, and it is very well under stood that the Clergy, and all who are suspected of being suspicious, will have to bear the • burden. The whole 200,000,000 rials are to be paid up by different instalments by the last day of the year. The following is the list of the Intendencies, with the sums they are required to furnish : Intendencies. Reals.

We are authorized to deny, in the face of Europe and of the'world, the extraordinary falsehoods which the French journals,' including the Monitettr of the 29th of August, have published relative to Spain—falsehoods which excite et Once the contempt and indignation of the inhabitants of Madrid, f rom th e l owes t to t h e hi g h est d egree. Th e F rench journals describe the Queen-Regent and her august daughter as being prisoners in their Palace, and according to their account every person in Madrid is threatened with the knife of the assassin. The Royal residence is every moment menaced by the soldiers ; and, in a word, our enemies indulge in all sorts of suppositions, which they would wish to see realized, in order that the cause of the Usurper might be ,thereby promoted. The true state of the case is very different from this description, as is known by every inhabitant of Madrid. Since the moment when the Constitution was sworn to, there has not been the slightest disorder, excepting a dispute which occurred on the 18th of August among some of the soldiers, and which was the consequence of a misunderstanding. That was, however, im mediately suppressed. The Loyal palace has been respect ed, as much as at any period of the monarchy. Neither the sol diers nor the emissaries of any party have trampled under foot the veneration due to the sacred residence of the Spanish inionarelts, notwithstanding the stattments of the Moniteur to the contrary. There has been no sedition ; a simple re monstrance only 'has been addressed to General Seoane re specting the bad quality of th e ir; br ea d. Th e General in consequence examined the bread, and, throwing a bit to a dog, the animal, though hungry, refused to touch it. The Victualling Department is undoubtedly to blame for this. A new regulation has been consequently made, and until it comes into force, the soldiers are allowed white bread. The Moniteur describes this affair as symptomatic of insubordi nation ; but is it not the duty of ..a Government at all times, and under all circumstances, to furnish the troops with wholesome and - sufficient food ?• The people of Spain have desired and have obtained new gu'arantees for their fran chises ; they have unfurled .before their enemy the blessedbanner of the Con s ti tut i on, w hi c h f ormer l y,,recogn i se d and by the wh o l e country, preserved the independence of S o. Pain military a e s e s and the Throne of th e King, and contributed in a g reat l measure to th e freedom, of the whole w orld, ine . n:y , e by se e solid tb f r o u l trd a" a . s anfundament a l ,dm dp b o t t a im l institutions - tion as shall b e esta bli s h e d ty the Cortes ; lot, at the same time, th e y repe l w i t h indignation the charge that they are now deficient i n that l o yalty which the' have constantly Fi° la 11 w ' pacedtl)eYi honeon sucht o a exhibited towards their Sovereigns, or in that veneration which is due to the Queen Regent and her august (laughter. We advise the French journals not to fill their columns with calumnies as barefaced as they are easy of refutation, or they must expect to see them characteiiseil, in plain but appropriate language, as lies?' - The Madrid' Gazette announces, that the Government have complied with General Alaix's demand, and sent him 700 pairs of shoes, 400 shirts, 400 cloth trousers, and 1,500 military caps for the use of his troops ; 20,000 reels have also been sent to that General. It is said that the Government has directed a Council of War to assemble, to investigate the conduct of Gen. Manso (Castellan). The following account of affairs in Spain is from the French papers of Thursday :—The intelligence received to-day from Spain represents the national party as fully d e _ termined on taking themselves the necessary means of ob viating the want of decision and incapacity of the Govern ment, and perhaps of preventing treason. The example of Barcelona has been followed by Cordova, Malaga, and Granada. The juntas of those cities maintain their power, and have adopted, in their respective provinces, the revolu tionary measures required by circumstances. At Cadiz, where the junta had been dissolved, contrary to the wishes of the patriots, and to the injury of the Constitu4ional cause, the receipt of this intelligence had occasioned considerable fermentation, and, although a junta had not vet been named, there was every probability that another would be forthwith re-established, composed of men possessed of more firmness and activity, and less disposed than the former to abdicate their insurrectionary power, at a mo ment when the country was in imminent danger. The members of the new junta of Cordova, elected by a numerous assembly of citizens and National Guards, was incessant in its labours to promote the triumph of liberty. It had resolved on governing the province until the Cortes had met, and the Queen taken the oath to the Constitution in presence of that assembly. The National Militia was about to be re-organised in battalions, and the proceeds of the tithes had been applied to purchase regimentals for the men. Arms, however, were wanting. The plan respecting the clergy, adopted in Granada, was likewise to be enforced in Cordova. The former civil governor, Pastor, was to re sume the functions of political chief. All the public func tionaries hostile to the Constitution had been dismissed from office. A corps of volunteers was in progress of organiza tion, for the purpose of being sent to the army of the North. The column of Malaga, commanded by Escalante, which forms the advanced guard of the Andalusian forces, still re mained at Carolina. A detachment of Lancers from Malaga had reached Cordova on the 28th ult. Letters from Malaga of the Ist inst. state, the junta of the province had sent to Madrid three conarniss;oncrs, Messrs. Gregorio Condom, Jose Blake, and Antonio Bresca, commander of the National Guard, to acquaint the Government with its determination to continue in power until the cause of the revolution had completely triumphed. On the 30th of August the junta had farmed out for two years to Don Jaime Alguier Cases the mines of lapis-plomo of Marbella, on condition that he should pay ten reels per quintal of ore. The Ecclesiastical Board having apprised the junta of its inability to pay the forced loan of 200,000 reals (2,0001.) the latter replied that if, in the course of four days that sum was not vested in'the Treasury, it would be under the necessity of taking the most vigorous measures against . its members. Don Antonio Castaneda, Vice-President of the Junta of Granada, announced to the people, in a proclamation dated the 31st ult, that the junta of the province, which had been dissolved, on the 26th, by an act of violence and rebellion, had been re-established, at the desire of the inhabitants and National Militia. The Eco del Commercio of the 6th, invites the Minister of War to place himself at the head of the army of the north as soon as possible, and calls on the Government, if it cannot procure by legal means tlae pecuniary resources it stands in need of, to use the power placed in their hands to realize the sums of money necessary for the public service. In another article, respecting the sale of national property, the same journal recommends its division into small lots, in order that its sale may be more easily effected, and that a greater number of citizens without fortune may partici pate in it, and thus be interested in the success of the revo- lutionary cause. The first accounts of the affair of Jadraque received in Madrid had announced that Brigadier Lopez had been killed. It is now known that this general officer is a pri soner of Gomez, with a considerable number of officers and soldiers of his column. It had also been stated, that Guada laxara was occupied by Gomez, but it appears he did not enter the city. On the mere report of his advance, the commander, the authorities, and the garrison, were seized with a panic, and evacuated the place in the utmost dis order, abandoning 600 muskets, 100 arrobas of gunpowder, and all the materiel of the corps of engineers. Even the standard of the regiment was forgotten in the commander's house. A student, named Medrana, and four soldiers vo- unteered to go and fetch it after the evacuation of the place. A report of Captain-General Manso, dated Alcolea del Pinar, September 1, contains an account of the move ments of the forces under his orders. He states, that having been obliged to wait for two columns he had de tached in pursuit of Basilic), it was impossible for him to follow Gomez with rapidity, but he adds that he then occu pied the high road to Arragon and Molina, and was in a tondition to cut off his retreat in that direction, whilst the division of Espartero and the Madrid columns would march in pursuit of him in the other. Since Basilio has re-crossed the Ebro, all the columns of Old and New Castile have been marching after Gomez, who will find it impossible at present to return to Navarre. This accounts for his movement on Cuenca. It is proba ble that, after drawing the Christino columns to that quar ter, he will again suddenly proceed towards the north, and elude their pursuit, as he has done during the last two months, with such wonderful success. SWITZERLAND, FEDERAL DIET.-CONCLUSION OF THE DE BATE OF THE 911 i, RESPECTING THE AFFAIR OF CONSEIL. _ _ . M. Kern (Deputy for Thurgo via) expressed his entire adhesion to the majority of te Committee, whose only wish was to let the truth be known. _ M. Monnard (Vaud) characterised the system of politi cal police as a system of corruption, a disgrace and pest to civilization. The circumstances of which the Committee had obtained knowledge, sufficiently proved that that sys tem which maintained a regular body of instigators to crime had had the effect of compromising the neutrality of Swit zerland, and endangering her relations with foreign Powers. Why had it been thought necessary to send spies into the territqry of the Confederation ? Was there a coun try in the world where there was less mystery and more open speaking ? As no plots were in existence, the agents of police found 'it necessary to creatd them, and having made a few dupes, advantage was taken of that circum stance to accuse the Swiss nation. Conseil endeavoured to persuade some students of the University of Berne to belong to the " Societe des Families." • Supposing•that he had succeeded with some, would that be a sufficient reason for making a charge against the University ? It was by the means of the police agents that the neutrality of Switzerland had been compromised, and those by whom they were employed were- more to be blamed than the subordinate agents themselves. He (M. Monnard) con sidered it to, be the duty of the Diet to publish all the facts which had come to the knowledge of the Committee, in order that all Europe might be made acquainted with the manner in which Switzerland had been treated and calum niated. It ought to be known, that in order to incriminate Switzerland, it'was first necessary to abuse her hospitality, by maintaining spies within her territory. The present question was important with reference to the relations of Switzerland with France. As soon as Conseil was known to be not an accomplice of Fieschi, but a spy of the French police, it was the duty of the French Ambassador to declare that he was mistaken with regard to the character of that person. With regard to the head of the French Govern ment, the King of the French has some reason for looking on Switzerland with affection ; and he ha d n ever r disclaimed that feeling. How necessary it was, the n, that dared to Monarch should know that he had unskilful agents, who that w place themselves between the Frenc h and would theths wt ations. at he The Hon. Deputy concluded by declaring _ majority ; and by suggesting, in vote for the report of• the majo r . „, e ach. addition, that that report sho uld be co municated t o a ll t h e cantons, in the respective Lingua e of M. de Riedmatten (Va lais) was of opinion that .Conseil was the victim of a system of terrorism, and th a t h e never set his foot in the Fren ch embassy • lins deputy abstained from voting. from the After a few obs ervations other deputies, the di vision took place. • , The proposition o f the majority of the Committee, that its report , togetherwith authenticated c o pi es o f, the docu mentsshould on the iculd be laid before the French Go vernment, was not carried, only 101 S • being • Neufchatel,2 tates in its which f a vour.belongs to Prussia, ,was the only c anton that expressed formal d' . disapprobation of what hall been done in this affair.

HOLLAND. It is no lon g er a secret that the to be concluded conven tion concerning the Java irAport duty contest was the sub ject of the two extrabrary Cabinet Counci l s , p resided at by,the Ki ng , now near l y a fortnigl.t ago, and to the se cond of which the Prince of Orange was so suddenly called from his avocations in the camp. It appears, however, that the fresh instructions transmitted to Sir E. Disbrowe a few days before by Major Cartwright were not of a nature to smoothe the debate between the two Governments. My correspondent tells me that much dissatisfaction was ex pressed at the 6,000,000 indemnity pretended to have been offered by the Dutch Government, but that for the rest the general calculation of the money-people seems to be founded upon the notion that considerations of a higher order will withhold the British Cabinet from again pro ceeding to coercive measures for an object of only secon dary political interest for the present, however haughty may have been the tone of Sir E. Disbrowe's recent note in the opinion that you may see expressed in the Hague cor respondence of the above mentioned papers. All the troops encamped near Reyen broke up for their respective garrisons on Saturday. The two young Princes of Orange proceeded to Soestdyk, and to-day the Prince Field-Marshal himself left Tilburg for the same destination, to spend a few days with his Imperial Consort and family previous to the return of all the Royal house, which is fixed fbr about the 24th of this month. Prince Frederick Henry will not sail for the East Indies before October. It had been expected that the Kin.- would review the encamped division of infantry on Thursday, besides the ca valry not already inspected, together with the other division, and actually orders had been issued that all these troops were to meet for this purpose at a small distance from the camp on that day. But on Wednesday evening this was countermanded, in consequence, of an estafette having brought notice that his Majesty was prevented.

Members during the last Session of Parliament of the want of ventilation and difficulty of hearing, within the last few days a great number of workmen, under the superintendence of Professor Read, of Edinburgh (who has come from Scotland expressly personally to inspect the works going forward, which arc in conformity with a plan he submitted to a Committee of the House), have been busily employed in making considerable alterations in the interior of the House of Commons, the walls of which are now completely gutted. The objects of the altera tions in progress are, first, to obtain a better ventilation ; and, secondly, to make the building, if possible, better adapted for hearing, both in the body of the House and the Galleries. To accomplish the latter desideratum, it is the intention of Professor Read considerably to lower the present ceiling, and instead of, as at present, being flat and level, it is to be converted (as much as the nature of the building will admit of) into a circular form, resem bling a dome. In order to carry this plan into effect, it is intended that the Gallery for the Reporters, and the Strangers' Gallery, shall be brought several feet farther into the body of the House, and considerably lowered ; but when lowered agreeably to the plan proposed, doubts are entertained that considerable inconvenience may pos sibly arise, from the ceiling being so near the heads of those occupying seats. The ceiling which—as we before stated—is to be in a circular form, will in the principal part of it be covered, or cased with glass, which Professor Read considers will very materially increase and facilitate the sound of a speaker's voice. In order to obtain a better ventilation, the Professor has given instructions for a shaft to be sunk at the south-end of the building thirty feet deep, and over the shaft a chimney one hundred feet high is to be erected. The floor of the house is to be raised and laid on arches, so as to make it hollow underneath, and apertures are to be formed communicating with the shaft and chimney. Orders are also given for perforating ten thousand holes, or more if necessary, in the floor—(an un successful experiment, it will be recollected, tried some years since in the House of Lords by Sir Humphrey Davy). Other alterations of a minor character are also in progress, but they are of too intricate a nature to describe with any minuteness. It is calculated that the expense of the alterations now going forward will amount to between eight thousand pounds and ten thousand pounds ; but the expence will not be lost if the plan is successful, as a similar one will be adopted in the erection of the new houses. Messrs. Baker and Son are the contractors employed _under Professor Read, and when a doubt was expressed that pro bably the alterations might not be completed in sufficient time for the assembling of Parliament, those gentlemen stated that on a few hours' notice, they could put five hun dred men on the works. We understand, however, that several eminent scientific men express doubts as to the such cess of Professor Read's plan.—Morning Paper. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Ship, in Mary gold-street, Bermondsey, before Mr. CARTER, the Coro ner for Surrey, on the body of Jeremiah Boyle, a child two years and a half old, who, with its mother, was taken out of a deep well at the rear of a house in Marygold-street. The mother when taken out of the well was alive, but the child was quite dead, and a very general rumour prevailed in the neighbourhood subsequently to the occurrence that the former had intentionally plunged into the water with her child in her arms, for the purpose of destroying both. Evidence was gone into at very great length, in order to afford the jury an opportunity of judging whether there had been a wilful act on the part of the mother ; but, after a short deliberation, they returned a verdict that the deceased's death was occasioned by accident. Ma-NSLAUGIITEII.—Yesterday afternoon an inquiry was instituted before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner, at the Percy Hotel, Rathbone-place, touching the death of Elizabeth Broderick, aged 30, the wife of a carpenter, residing at No. 10 in the above-named place. The investigation ex cited a considerable degree of interest, in consequence of a rumour that the fatal event had been caused by the vio lence of her husband. Susan Archer, a lodger in the same house, stated that the deceased was seized with a fit on Wednesday morning last, and on witness going up stairs she found her in the room by herself, laying before the fire. Her right eye was fright fully discoloured, which was owing, as deceased t subse quently asserted, to her husban d havin g struck her while i n bed on the previous night. She see med very much alarmed, and in fear of her husband coming home ; but in a sh or t time she became somewhat calm. Soon after she was again attacked in a similar way, when her husband, who was sent for, arrived, and procured a surgeon, and while h e was bleeding her she had a third fit. Some medicine w a s ad ministered to her , but she quickly died. About two months ago deceased had been so cruelly beaten by h er h us b an d that she was necessitated to go into a hospital, w h ere s he re mained more than a fortnight. She wits generally ine briated once in two or three weeks. w l‘ s slaeassn committedswere g te " examined, whe n th e J ury re t urne d a to ga N ins e t w J a Other witne irteeosnßtrioiederick, Coroner'sthe l a , u % s ' e b r a d n i c d t , N o Y f il 0 " warrant. MR. SHERIFF DUKE'sLivEntEs.—We have been favoured with a peep at the splendid state liveries prepared for Mr. Sheriff Duke by Messrs. Swain and Co., the celebrated Corporation tailors of Fleet-street ; and we have no hesitation in saying, that'for elegance of design, and superiority of work manship, they far surpass any thing of the kind that has ever graced the pageant of a Lord -Mayor's show. The coat is of a brilliant Darnley blue, richly trimmed with gold lace, and decorated round the .breast and on the flaps and cuffs with a very handsome embroidered pattern of roses, thistles, sham rocks and oak leaves, wrought in colours to imitate nature. 1 The epaulette is formed of a wreath of burnished gold laurel leaves, the crest on which is represented in alto rclievo, crest of Mr. Duke, tastefully done in silver.

Various tables of reliefs and other authentic information are in progress, to which will be added a complete and entire statement of the colonial services of each regiment Tin the British army, in order that when the subject is brought forward, as it will be early _next session, th e a dv o c a tes of justice and humanity may not b Silenced for want of information. —Morning Paper.
