was more at home when the do g bit him ; and turning round 'Van the animal, sa id, " Th ou bast bitten me, but I would not do thee the least injury." The dog, however, did not like his looks, and ran away. The Quaker only called out "Mad dog!" He did the dog no injury; it was the neigh bours who killed him.—(Laughter and cheers.) So my Lord Haddington exclaims, " Oh, my dear Irish, I love you from my heart—you are the finest creatures in the World, except that you are good for nothing —you have only one fault which unfits you for liberty —you are, in fact, the most contemptible set of blackguards in the world."— (Cheers.) There is the piety and good sense of the Lords. Who would not be for such an assembly ?—(Laughter.) I bare seen some of their letters ; I wish I knew who taught them to spell.—(Laughter.) I have seen some of their writing. It would ruin a schoolmaster to have it told that be taught them.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. JOHN CHILDS, after pointing out the number of non-resident clergymen who had large and valuable livings in the neighbourhood of Bungay, proposed as a toast— " The abolition of State religious establishments."—Drank with great applause. Captain MONEY proposed the next toast, " A Reform to the Peerage." The toast was received with great cheering. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of Lord Mel bourne and his Majesty's Ministers."—Drank with en thusiasm. Mr. PRIEST proposed " The Health of Mr. Hume and the real Reformers of the House of Commons."—(Cheers.) The Rev. R. ELWYN next rose, and after expressing his admiration of the brilliant eloquence displayed by Mr. O'Connell, and apologising for his own deficiency as a public Speaker, said—preaching is my trade, but extempore preach ing is not my practice. I shall, therefore, trouble you with but a single observation, I can never help feeling that there is a great deal of truth in the supposed retributive justice of heaven. For six centuries we oppressed Ireland, and she gave us a Castlereagh and a Wellington. We are now beginning to do her justice, and she gives us Daniel O'Connell.(Great cheering.) Mr. O'Connell left shortly after ten o'clock, and imme diately set off on his return to town. CORPORATION REFORM in IRELAND (From Keene's Balls Journal.) On Fiic'ay a public Meetinc , was held at the Guildhall, in Viis city, to take into consideration " the conduct of the House of Lords in opposing all salutary reforms, and more particularly in refusing to grant municipal corporations to Ireland ; and to adopt such resolutions and petition to the House of Commons as the Meeting shall deem requisite." At the hour appointed (1 o'clock) the large room of the Hall was nearly filled, and by half-past 1 it was thronged. On the platform were—Gen. Palmer, M.P., J. A. Roe buck, Esq., M.P., the Mayor, Sir Wm. Cockburn, Col. Napier, Col. Chambers, Capt. Mainwaring, Capt. Muttle bury, Capt. Berton, Lieut. Schomberg, Rev. J. Murch, Rev. T. Cater, &c. &c. Gen. PALMER proposed that W. T. Blair, Esq., Mayor, should take the Chair ; which his Worship acceded to amidst general acclamation. The MAYOR said, it was known to most present that a 13ill had recently been sent up to the House of Lords from the Commons to reform the Municipal Corporations of Ireland ;it went up to the Lords a Bill of liberty—a Bill of rights ; it came out of it—[Here so much confusion was created by a few persons, that his Worship was for some time unable to proceed]—l repeat what I said, it went from the Commons a Bill of rights ; it came back a Bill of destruction—a Bill of attainder and confiscation.—(lm mense cheering, mixed with slight disapprobation.) All Governments sould be for the general welfare, and not for sectarian domination . Was not Ireland as competent to manage her local affairs as England and Scotland ? For himself, he must observe, that he always considered Corpo ration Reform in Ireland as consequent on the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill. His Worship, in conclusion, said, that be accorded with the observation of Lord John Russell, " that he did not seek a collision of the House of Lords, but he was prepared to contend with them until Corporation Reform had been attained for Ireland."—(lm rnense cheering.) General Palmer said that as one of the representatives of the city in Parliament, he had attended the present impor tant meeting, not to express his own feelings, but to hear the expression of the feolings of his constituents, and to support the resolutions of the meeting with his voice in the House of Commons ; for in the present Reformed Parlia ment, wherein scats were no longer bought and sold, the representative was no longer free to act upon his own judg ment, but bound to vote accordiog to the will of his elec tors, or to resign his seat.—(Lnudcheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK considered the present state of public af fairs one of fearful danger. Civil war impended over them —civil war was about to be brought on by the injustice and insane bigotted opposition to the wishes of the nation at large on the part of a selfish and disappointed faction. The Irish nation naturally feel deeply insulted. They per ceive how little sympathy the Lords have for their suffer ings and misfortunes, and they are now determined to suffer this oppression no longer. Resistance is being organized —agitation has begun—Government, in every thing but name, will soon be at an end, and all our many thou sand troops will be unable to maintain even the no minal dominion of Englaud. Headed by O'Connell, Ireland will resist justice will be on her side, and success cannot fail to follow. I, as your representative, intend to go as far in this course as the Constitution will allow me to go. I am desirous of trying all peaceful and constitutional means, before having recourse to harsh and restrictive measures. If these means fail—if the Lords, deaf to all remonstrance, and listening only to the voice of selfishness, determine to continue headlong in their present mad career—then, gentlemen, I am prepared for collision.— (Loud cheers.) Let us understand what collision means. It means that we are prepared to take the government of the country into our own bands, and to put an end to the present constitution of the House of Lords.—(Loud and long -continued cheering.) If, by the mad opposition of the Lords, I am driven to this extremity, the fault is not in me, but in them.—(Hear, hear.) Justice must be done to Ireland ;if with the House of Lords, well—if not, with out it.—(Loud and continued cheering.) HENRY ALEXANDER BARRY, Esq., then addressed the Meeting. He said—l trust the Reformers throughout the kingdom will be firm and united, but temperate. If we are to fall into the horrors of anarchy, let those horrors be solely and wholly caused by our political opponents. The Reformers would then stand acquitted before God and their own consciences. —(Cheers.) Mr. Barry then moved— " Resolved—That the people of England and Ireland, being one people, require for their good government the same political institutions, and the same lam." Colonel CHAMBERS seconded the resolution ; Upon which a Captain MUTTLEBURY rose and proposed an amendment, to the effect that the House of Lords had Only exercised their undoubted right in altering the Bill, and th a t i n d o i ng s o th e y had ac t e d w ith a soun d discretion. The amendment was seconded by Lieut. SCHOMBERG. Only 15 hands were held up in favour of it, and the ori ginal resolution was then carried amid tumultuous applause. Mr. ENGLISH proposed the next resolution. Mr. BRIDGES, late candidate for Frome, seconded the resnlution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. W. P. ROBERTS moved the third resolution, which was seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS. Colonel NAPIER then rose amidst tremendous cheering, and said—Gentlemen, I do not think that the true question is whether Corporation Reform shall be extended to Ire land, but whether the' House of Lords or the House of Commons shall govern in England—whether the will of the People of England shall stand, or the will, the corrupt will, of some crazy and some factious Peers shall henceforth be Paramount in this country ?—(Cheers, and cries of " No !") This is to my apprehension the true question, and the Irish Corporation Reform is but a limb of it—a subject on which to commence the business of agitation—ay, and a very good subject to begin the battle with the Lords. Gentle- Inen, though the present Ministers are far better than their predecessors, though they are far more enlightened, they are not yet quite up to the mark. They approach it, but I should say, with the exception, perhaps, of my Lord tietbourne, that they are not quite up to it. They linger kehind at times when they should be in front—they seem like men aroused from sleep, starting when they should be ;fet ing ; dodging, skirmishing, and sparring with the enemy Vhen they should grapple him at once by the throat. — (Loud cheers.) You must arouse them by your encou- Ning shout, and even urge them onward by your mena -1:41 cries, for ;they have voluntarily offered to lead us 'out of the house of bondage, and they must not tarry Y th e way .—(L ou d c h eer i ng .) N ot t h at I think :r em treacherous, but they loiter. They would willingly f ed us with manna in the wilderness, but the seem unable rlead us into the land of promise. "To your tents, 0 81.4 e1." must therefore be the cry. The shouting of the pe ople must be heard ; and friends and enemies must be Lehi that if the calm voice of the legislator, and the denun '4tion of the prophet are alike unheeded, the clash of arms 1. 4 d cry o f war w ill b e h ear d.

Th e country, which se ntl in forth a Burke, Sheridan, Grattan, Flood, Moore, Wel 81°11, and Daniel O'Connell, is declared unworthy of electing town-councillors ! Why, gentlemer, the Tories say that Daniel O'Connell is the master of the empire— Daniel, the Irishman—oh, how he sticks in their teeth ! and yet they will not allow Daniel's countrymen wit enough to choose town-councillors. We are told that the Lords are firm unyielding men, men of spirit, who have taken their stand, and will not move an inch. The question will soon be tried ; but of this I am certain, that if they will not give way voluntarily, they %yin be pushed aside, and the road for good government shall be free for the people of England.—(Cheers.) The Gallant Colonel concluded by moving the 4th resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Murch. The fifth resolution was proposed by Mr. Shenstone, and seconded by Mr. Crisp.—The Meeting then separated. PUBLIC MEETING AT EDINBURGH. MUNICIPAL REFORM. On Friday a public meeting called by the Lord Provost, on a requisition from a large body of the inhabitants, was held in the Waterloo Rooms, for the purpose of considering the alterations made by the House of Lords on the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, and to petition Parliament in res pect thereto. Upon the platform we observed Sir A. M. Gibson ; Sir T. D. Lauder ; Colonel Mayne ; and Mr. Horsman, M.P. On the motion of Sir A. M. GIBSON ' Bailie Macfarlan (in the absence of the Lord Provost, from indisposition) was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, enjoying themselves the privileges and advantages which resulted from freedom of election, were they desirous to extend these benefits to the sister island, or were they not ? If they were so desirous they would now have an opportunity of manifesting that feeling, and showing to the Legislature their anxiety to have the benefits enjoyed by England and Scotland, extended to Ireland.—(Cheers.) He felt quite satisfied that they had no selfish feeling on this subject, for he knew that the be nefits which they themselves enjoyed they would wish the whole human race to enjoy—more especially their fellow subjects—subjects of the same Government—members of the same community. Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER said, they were asked what was the use of making such a fuss about this question ? It was an Irish question. In answer to that he should like to ask his Right Hon. Friend, the Lord Provost, who was prevented from coming here by the gout, whether his foot had not to be obliged to his hand for administering relief to it. But this was a more important question than one affect ing the hand or foot, for it affected the very vitals of the constitution.—(Loud cheers.) Whatever affected Ireland affected them, and the more so, from this circumstance, that they knew all the evils of the Constitution lay there. Mr. A. MILLAR seconded the motion. Bailie STODART said we have a Government at present disposed to do ample justice to Ireland—(Cheers)—who were prepared to carry out the principle of Catholic Eman cipation, and admit to all offices of the State, and to muni cipal offices, Catholics as well as Protestants. Bailie S. then alluded to the measure of reforming the Irish Corpo rations, upon which, he said, the Lyndhursts, the London derries, and Winchilseas had attempted to put an extin guisher for the present. Were these infatuated men never to learn sense—would they not see that the system upon which they acted had been the bane of Ireland for the last hundred years? But these sapient statesmen would find that the majority of thn Lords were not so strong as the majority of the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland.— (Great applause.) The majority of the Lords must and would yield to the more powerful majorities ranged against them. He concluded by moving the second resolution. The motion having been seconded, A gentleman, in the body of the meeting, who gave his name as a Mr. BARON, requested to be heard in dissent from the motion. The first was, why should Ireland have a larger measure of municipal reform than England or Scot land? He then proceeded to argue against giving the people of Ireland municipal government, because Ireland was not so civilised as Scotland—(Great hissing) ;—because they were under the dominion of the priests ; and because they needed a solid and useful education. _ _ Mr. Aytown, Councillor Robertson, Mr. J. T. Gordon, Advocate, and the Lord Dean of Guild having respectfully addressed•the meeting in support of resolutions condemna tory of the Lyndhurst scheme, a petition founded on these resolutions was adopted. Col. MAyNE, C. 8., then moved the thanks of the meet ing to Bailie Macfarlan, after which it Separated. It is said that the meeting was less numerous than might have been anticipated. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The last week's arrivals of all descriptions of Grain were moderate, and of Flour the quantity was not considerable. The trade was firm throughout the week for every article. This morning the fresh supply of all kinds of Grain has been small. The want of warm rain occasions the general opinion to be in favour of higher prices. Wheat has sold with readi ness, and obtained 2s. per quarter advance on the terms of this day se'nnight. Barley is also rather dearer. Beans firmly maintain last quotations. Pease of both kinds obtain last week's rates. Oats find a good trade, and they are full ls. per quarter higher than this day se'nnight. In the Flour trade there is rather more demand than of late at last week's prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

DANISH CLAIMS.—TIIC case of the Danish claimants, it seems, is once more about to be brought before Parliament, and it is to be hoped for the last time. It cannot have been forgotten that these claims have been divided into three classes, viz. —book debts, goods seized on shore, and ships and cargoes taken in port and in the Baltic. The claimants of the first class have been compensated by the Parliamentary grant of last session, and Mr. Spring Rice has appropriated a sum•of 78,0001. in the miscellaneous estimates of this session to in demnify the second class; but he refuses relief to the third class, on the plea that the seizures were 'yin conformity to the practice and usage of war prevailing among the nations of Europe." Eminent counsel have, however,, given it as their opinion that the circumstances under which the losses were sustained do not in any respect bear the construction at tempted to be given to them by the Treasury, but that, on the contrary, all ordinary practice and usage were violated. An other plea, scarcely worth notice, is, that the granting of com pensation might form a dangerous precedent. Nothing can be more evident, however, than that it is the duty of Govern ment, on the commencement of an aggressive war of their own seeking, to provide, a s f ar as i n t h e i r power, for the indemnity o their own subjects, who may be involved in loss by such aggression, and there could not be a more just or equitable precedent, than in such a case as this, where the Government obtained large means, to grant the compensation, more especially as it is well known that the mere pecuniary loss in these cases was, as compared with the book-debts, aggravated, in many instances, by the parties having had to suffer severe imprisonment. To refuse relief, therefore, would be the much more dangerous prece dent, as it would be that of a Government making a profit by the retention of the proceeds of Danish private property at the expense of innocent individuals. Mr. Spring Rice, with a laudable regard, had he had anything like justice on his side, for shillings, and pence, h as f oug h t stur dil y every inch pu h o of nd the ground in this affair of the Danish claimants, but he must now be driven from his last bold—that is, if the other branches of the question were decided upon any thing like principle.— Times. A Requisition has been transmitted to the Lord Mayor, requesting his Lordship to convene a Court of Com mon Council, to consider the propriety of petitioning the House of Commons to take the most efficacious means for securing to the people of Ireland the advantages of local self government by the instrumentality of Municipal Corporations.

GENTLEMEN, . 4 F NCOURAGED by a numerous body of Elee tors, to become a Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, to supply the vacancy caused by the lamented death of your late highly respected Member, Mr. Hall Dare, I venture to declare my acceptance of so flattering an invitation. I come forward only in the absence of some more worthy Candi date, for the sole purpose of affording an opportunity to the con stituency of declaring those sentiments which anima' e the ma jority of the electors, and upon which I confidently rely for our ultimate success. An equitable commutation of tithes, ecclesiastical and municipal reforms, and a removal of those disabilities which still press upon the Dissenters, shall have my most strenuous support. In pursuit of these objects I shall be guided by principles of equal justice in endeavouring to secure for the nation peace, economy, and useful re forms, and for individuals the inviolability of private property. My opinions are known to be favourable to the support of the Church pf England, in so far as that institution shall be rendered and maintained an efficient means of supporting the Christian Re ligion in this land. In regard to agriculture, my property and my connections are bound up in its interests ; my habits, both of study and of action, have been much directed to its welfare ; and it is for you, and not for myself, to estimate the value of my opinions in connection therewith, as they are well known to a large portion of the Constituency. The short period which must elapse between this time and the day of nomination must prevent my waiting personally upon every elector ; but I hope to bz? able to present myself in every district pf the division to state more fully my opinions. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, Upminster Hall, May 26, 1836. C. E. BRANFILL. HAMBURGH, MARCH 18, 1836.

Mr. GROVE PRICE, we perceive, talks of taking the sense of the House of Commons—possibly this evening—on the subject of O'CONNELL'S intended motion for a Reform of the Lords, by proposing that it be expunged from the Journals. This is a manoeuvre growing out of the mixed fear and desperation of the Tories, which it is impossible can succeed. The Re presentatives of the People cannot so far forget them selves, as to acquiesce in a motion which, if carried, would put. a stop to the further progress of Reform, by perpetuating the oligarchical despotism of the Lords. And why should this be? What is there in the insti tution of the Upper House that should entitle it to greater reverence or forbearance than the Lower ? Is it its hereditary wisdom ? Alas, that is but another name for hereditary imbecility. Is it its hereditary virtue and morality ? There is nothing of hereditary growth, but pride and prejudice. Why, then, we re peat, _should the Lords be treated with greater deference than the Commons? We reformed the latter when they required it ; and with the same zeal and unceremo niousness should we set about the reform of the former. As for Mr. PRICE'S motion, the bare announcement of it is an insult to the people ; for what is it but to say, " No matter how the Lords behave to you ; no matter how many measures intended for your welfare they reject with contempt ; it is your duty to submit humbly to all their caprices, for their's is a sacred institution ; and even to whisper of reforming it, is an offence against the majesty of the Constitution, which the Commons, as sworn guardians of that Constitution, are bound to denounce in the strongest terms of which language is capable." Now we say it is impossible that the people's representatives can listen for d an in stant to a motion of which the above is a correct inter pretation—unless, indeed, they are prepared to aban don the free exercise of legislation, and confess them selves the mere vassals of the Lords. Justice to the country demands that they insist on justice; from the aristocracy, at whatever hazard, adopting as their motto—Fiat justitia, ruat cerium. If the Peers are to be held above the reach of Reform, to what purpose have we been struggling for the last five years ? Small, indeed, has been our gain by the expulsion of boroughmongery from the House of Commons, if its factious and tyrannical spirit is still to be allowed to take refuge in the House of Lords. But the country will not permit a grievance like this to continue long without a remedy. We see a spirit at work in the provinces ;at Bath—at Ipswich —at Bungay—at Edinburgh—and generally through out Ireland—that will soon bring the Lords to their senses. Let the collision between the two Houses come when it may, the country' is fully prepared for it —fully resolved, too, that if one is to be worsted in the struggle, that one shall not be the Commons. . If the Lords intended—as no doubt they did—to set Ireland in a flame, they have succeeded to their heart's content. From the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, all is in commotion. There is but one shout throughout the length and breadth of the land, and that shout is, " British rights, or ,a Repeal of the Union I" In England and Scotland too, " Justice to Ireland" is the rallying cry of every public Meeting. The popular mind is roused to the vast importance of the question which the madness of the House of Lords has put in issue. If this infatuated body is to be allowed an unrestricted swing—if it is to act with out the aid of any other counsellors than its own prejudices and i!s own selfishness—it is evident to every thinking mind that the dismemberment of the Empire is an event for which we must prepare ourselves. It is utterly in vain to suppose that Ireland, treated as she has been by the Lords, insulted, outraged, de graded in the face of the whole world, will submit to a humiliation which would prove her really to be that which her bitterest enemies have represented her— unfit to be received within the circle of civilized com munities. If she cannot obtain justice, has she not a right to demand a Repeal of the Union ? Is there a man of right feeling or sound thinking in the couttry who can deny this right ? No, not one such does deny it. The fact is, the ardour of the people on this subject, outruns that of the Press. The people feel that the Lords have violated the sacred claims of justice—those claims which it requires no laboured effort of reasoning to define or to elucidate, but which come home at once to the bosom of every honest man, whatever be his station in life. Every man asks him self, how he would like such treatment himself ? The Englishman and the ScotAmu have only to consult their own hearts. They have only to ask how they would feel, and what they would do, had the House of Lords swept away their ancient national institutions on the plea that they were not fit to be trusted with the managemement of them. Resistinee to tyranny is the first instinct of nature in such a case. Shall we wonder, then, that there is a community of feeling between the three portions of the empire on this point? Ireland nobly assisted England and Scot- land to achieve the reform of their institutions. Eng land and Scotland are now proving that they are re solved to repay the obligation. Let the Lords look to it. The motion for a Committee of Inquiry into the Danish Shipping Claims comes on in the . House of Commons to-morrow evening, the 3lst. It is an in quiry as to the equity of compensating claims for losses occasioned to British subjects through the acts of the British Government, by which a large sum of money was produced to the Treasury, through the seizure of Danish merchant ships prior to any cause of hostility. It is to consider upon what grounds the book debts have been exciusively compensated out of the proceeds of shipping, for they were provided for by the treaty of Kiel ; and whether these book-debts had, in reality, a more equitable claim than those of the poor mariners who lost all their property, and were imprisoned, because their own Government committed a wrong against the Danes, i❑ the first instance ; mis leading their own subjects at the same time to venture up the Baltic in pursuit of their accus tomed trade, and then leaving them to the mercy of their enemies. Instead of resisting these just claims, Ministers ought to be glad of an opportunity of affording another precedent of doing justice ; and it ought even to be laid down as a law, that Govern ment, in a case of an aggressive war, is bound to pro vide indemnity for its subjects who may suffer through the aggression, and that the droits accruing ought to be appropriated to that purpose. The Spanish Cortes are dissolved. This important measure took place on the 23d inst. During the sit ting of the Procuradores on the 21st, a resolution was proposed and carried by a majority of 'seventy-eight to twenty-nine votes, to the effect that the ISTURIZ Cabi net did not enjoy the confidence of the Estamento. This resolution, in conjunction with the previous vote of the 16th, deprived the President of all controul in the Chamber ; and he found. himself, at the close of seven days from his appointment as Minister, reduced to the alternative of dissolving the Cortes, or resigning. He chose the former—but in consequence of a olunder on his own part the Cortes were not dissolved till the 23d, though they were to have been dismissed on the 22c1. Up to the morning of the 23d no address had been sent to the electoral juntas, and great doubts existed in the public mind in Madrid as to whether an election of Deputies would take place for some months longer. In the mean time nothing is known as to the means by which the Government proposes to carry on the affairs of the country. The treasury is empty, and every attempt that has been made to raise money has signally failed. Public credit is on the brink of ruin. All bills drawn upon the treasury that have come in since the fall of the MENDIZABAL administration have been protested ; and it is apprehended that those payable in the provinces, out of the local revenues, will also be dishonoured.. To acid to the perplexity of the new President, several of his colleagues are pre paring to desert him, and some have already placed their resignation in his hands. SOLARTE, who is still in Paris, has addressed a letter to ISTURIZ, in which he has inclosed his resignation of the Fi nance Department. General SEOANE has like wise declined the part of War Minister. Senor EGEA, who was appointed, ad interinz, Minister of Finance in the absence of SOLARTE, was offered the department permanently / but he declined it on hearing that the President was about to have recourse to the perilous experiment of a dissolution of the Cortes. There is, therefore, now no Finance Minis ter, the office at present being as much a sinecure as that of purse-bearer to the Lord Chancellor of England. Senor BARRIO AYUSCO, Procurador for Soria, has accepted the Portefeuile of Grace and Justice. Gene ral SANTIAGA MENDEZ VIGO, who is with the army, is appointed Minister of War. Such is the troubled aspect of affairs in Spain. All the previous readiness and foresight of IsTuatz seem to have deserted him since his appointment to the Pre sidency of the Council. His incompetence to discharge the functions of his high office is visible at every move ment. In the Chambers he has committed nothing but blunders ; and his mouth has only been opened to the alienation of his former friends and adherents. He resembles an inexperienced swimmer, ignorant of the strength of currents and the eddying of whirlpools, who for the first time attempts to breast a rapid stream; be cause he has succeeded in keeping his chin above wa ter in a bath. We are not surprised that he has had recourse to desperate means to save himself ; for he knows well that if he fail now, he is lost for ever. Suc cess only will prevent the world from saying that the means by which he obtained office were as infamous as his failure was sudden, signal, and deserved. It is reported that, rather than recal MENDIZABAL, the Regent will open her private coffers, and place the funds therein carefully treasured at the disposal of Is- TURIZ. We doubt the truth of this rumour. The Regent is as fond of money as Lout s-Pli 'LIPPE him self, and we believe she would make any sacrifice of feeling rather than part with a single real of her wealth. She is unquestionably immensely rich. During the last four years of FERDINAND S reign she divided her time between political intrigues and the amassing together of property in money and jewels—of every frac tion of which she is still possessed. Her object was to guard against the worst that might happen ; but though the money so acquired would go a great way towards extricating the Government of her daughter from its difficulties, she has hitherto refused to refund a real of what undoubtedly belongs to the nation, and ought to be applied for its relief in so great an emergency. On the 22d, accounts had been received in Madrid of juntas forming at Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Cadiz, Murcia, and various other places in Spain, for the purpose of petitioning against the ISTURIZ Cabinet. In several places the people had declared, that in the event of the Cortes being dissolved they would pay no taxes —nor do we suspect that the threat was an idle one. The disso lution of the Cortes was a dangerous expedient, to which no Minister in his senses would have had re course. Besides the dissolution of the late Cortes, summoned as. they Were for a specific purpose— namely, the passing of an electoral law—is in itself a stretch of the Royal preroative, for the advising of which, _the President of the Council has subjected himself to an impeachment. Nothing could have jus tified the dissolution of the Chambers, but a refusal, on their part, to adopt the proposed law, for the rati fication of which they had been called together. A Morning Contemporary publishes the following exiness from Paris, in a second edition : " PARIS, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 11 P.M. " It is understood here that the movement of Cordova is part of a combined series of operations, to which Evans and Bernelle, and the whole force at Cordova's disposal, are parties." The annexed is the telegraphic dispatch which was received at five o'clock, p.m., announcing the victory : " Cordova set out from Vittoria on the 23d, at the head of three divisions. After an engagement, in the course of which he drove back the Carlists on Onate, causing them considerable loss, he occupied the heights of the Sierra of San from Adrian as far as Aranza. De la Torre, who commanded the Carlists, was seriously wounded. The Christinos had about 200 men put hors-de-combat. Brigadier-General O'Donnel was among the number of wounded. During the night of the 233, Cor dova had taken possession of the positions of Arlaban, &c." We believe the above to be a mere fabrication ; but even if correct it is of little importance. CORDOVA'S occupation of Onate and Arlaban was announced in this Journal in the early part of last week. We have just received an account of an important public Meeting on the subject of the Irish Municipal Bill, which was held on Friday last at Taunton, and at which Sir THOMAS LETHBRIOGE expressed him self strongly in favour of a Reform in the House of Lords. We regret that from press of matter we are compelled to leave over the report of this Meeting till to-morrow. We have accounts also of numerous other Meetings, all of which show that the country is at length fully roused, and determined to put down the irresponsible authority of the Upper House. The City of London will meet in the course of a few days, on the Irish Corporation Bill ; when, 'from all we can hear, some startling truths will bespoken, calculated to give their Lordships the cholic. We have received letters and papers from Lisbon to the 21st inst. inclusive. The Marchioness FICA LHO, her MAJESTY'S especial favourite, had been created a Duchess. The disturbances at Tras-os-Montes were far from being put down, and the inclination for rioting and disaffection throughout the country was fomented by the efforts of the Opposition, who had leagued themselves with persons suspected of Miguclite prin ciples, for the purpose of embarrassing the CARVAL HO Administration. German and Brussels Papers have been received. Extracts from them will be found in another column. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Satur day have been received. They announce the dissolu tion of the Spanish Cortes, but bring no advices of importance from the North of Spain. The subject of discussion in the French Chambers on Thursday and Friday was the home Budget, when severe censures were passed on the immorality of the French theatre. M. TITTERS admitted the extent of the evil, but doubted the propriety of all interference on the part of the Government. The grants were voted as proposed by zhe Minister of Finance, without amendments. Annexed are extracts : PARIS, MAY 28.—The Algcrine Moniteur of 20th May, which has been received at Paris to day, contains no news re specting the colony or the military operations on the Tafna. A letter from Algiers says that on the'receipt of the news of the re-occupation of Medcah by the partizans of Abdel Ka der, numerous arrests took place among the most influential Moors at Algiers. who were suspected of a secret correspon dence with the Emir. Notice was immediately sent to him that their life should answer that of the Europeans who were made prisoners in Medeah. These arrests have caused some agitations among the native population, and illutapha Pacha, who was a member of the Municipality, had thought it his duty to give in his resignation.--Illessager, May 28.

The New York Papers to the Ist of May have the follow ing : " CONORESS.—SENATE, APRIL 28.—The Vice President laid before the Senate a Report from the Secretary of the Navy, stating that one and a half millions annually would only be required in addition to her naval services. In the House of Representatives, the Deposit Bank question came on for discussion ; the Army Appropriation Bill was debated at length, in which Mr. Mackeob defended the Administration from the charge of corruption. The House then adjourned." The news from Spain, received this morning bx the express from Paris, confirms what we stated a few days since, that the Cortcs would be dissolved, and that the new Ministry were determined to hold out to the last. Great excitement is caused in the City by this hews : particularly among the Spanish Bondholders—this desperate act, it is greatly feared, will throw the whole of Spain into a state of great agitation ; and the speculators at present are at a loss to know on what prin ciple the new Ministers intend to act. Spanish Active Bonds, in consequence of the above intelli gence, are much depressed.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILROAD.—Another rail road strikes us as likely to be highly advantageous, and dis tinguished by similar peculiarities with Cundy's Brighton road—we m?an the Eastern Counties Railroad, which will traverse, without doing injury to private property, and cer- tainly without damage to the picturesque, the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. The peninsula formed by the last-named county, the actual termination of all roads at the edge of the sea upon that coast, at a distance comparatively small from London, will, by means of this road, be brought forward, and receive benefits of which, however susceptible, it is at present deprived. The far-famed cattle of Norfolk, its poultry, its fish, its corn—in fact all its agricultural produce, is now kept from the London markets, because the expense of conveyance is more than double that at which canal navigation already transports the products of the northern parts of the em pire to the metropolis. The distance by the Eastern Coun ties Railroad from London to Norwich is only four miles more than a direct straight line, and the advantages derivable, not only to London, but to the various provincial towns and cities with which it will communicate, from the rapid conveyance and certain supply of the most desirable luxuries of life, are incalculable. The whole of the capital required for its forma tion has been subscribed, and the Bill, which has received the support of every place through or near which it is to pass, has gone through the Committee, and will be read on Wednesdu for the third time. In both these cases we sec utility and convenience combined, and combined, moreover, with facility and security.—John Bull. Chando's Leigh, Esq., the President of the Lea - mingto n - M ec hanics' Institution, has presented to that Society a copy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.— Warwick Ad vertiser, lONDAY, MAI. 30, 1836, ~`~ MR. O'CONNELL AT PUNG-.4..y„ (FROM A COII.I•NiVNIANt.) The Committee in Bungay deptitierthao,peritleonen to pro ceed to Ipswich in order to convey Mr. O'Clititiell to Bungay, and they left Ipswich at about ten o'clock on Saturday morn ing. Their course lay through a district so parson-ridden, so landlord-ridden, and at once so densely covered by Tory darkness, that it might have been supposed Mr. O'Connell would meet the reception of a w ild beast. At Woodbridge, however, and at Saxmundhani, the populace were waiting to receive him, with demonstrations that even among them his character as a friend to England, because the advocate of Ireland, was well appreciated. At Halesworth his reception was most enthusiastic, and he was delayed by the presentation of the following Address : " The sincere and ardent friends to Civil and Religious Liberty, residing at Halesworth, in the County of Suffolk, rejoice that Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., is this day passing through their town. " They gladly embrace the opportunity of offering to that gentleman this hasty and humble tribute of respect and ad. miration, for the talent and energy with which he is support ing every liberal and patriotic measure of his Majesty's Ministers • and they sincerely hope he will live to see tl - o rights of all classes in England, Ireland, and Scotland, equally established on a firm and permanent basis." On his arrival at Bungay, he addressed a few words to the people who had congregated in the market ; but shortly after wards .an immense concourse assembled before Mr. Childs' house (where Mr. O'Connell was staying), and after waiting a short time, sent a deputatioh, requesting that gentleman to afford them an opportunity of hearing him. He accordingly presented himself, and in a few spirit-stirring sentences, epi tomised the object of his exertions—the condition of Ireland —the state of the national politics—the means of national re generation, and especially the duties of the working classes. The crowd then quietly departed, carrying with them truths which they will never forget—the leaven of a slow and wholesome fermentation. One chief benefit from Mr. O'Connell's visit to these districts will be,' that when newspapers are cheaper these working men will seek with eagerness the reported speeches of Mr. O'Connell, and his advice will come to them as if directed by the voice of a friend. The arrangements of the Committee were admirable ; and, as in every assemblage of the Reformers in this town, abso lute quiet was preserved. Intimation was given by the Chair man at the commencement of the proceedings that the theatre must be closed before midnight ; and when Mr. O'Connell retired, about ten o'clock, nearly the whole of the company accompanied him. Some members of the Committee, ap pointed to see the theatre closed before Sunday morning came in, found, at eleven o'clock, that only waiters and attendants were remaining. Li half au hour the doors were locked, and there was only left a strong ditermination in the minds of the people to struggle, vigorously and peaceably, for "justice to Ireland, and prosperity to Britain." GERMAN, BRUSSELS, AND LISBON PAPERS. SrocgtioLst, MAT 17.—The Staatszeitung declares that there is no foundation for the accounts taken from the Mor genblad of the fortifying of two harbours, from apprehension of the possibility of an attempt by England to take possession of them. The Dagligt Allehanda thinks that such an appre hension would be highly absurd, as it is evidently the interest of England to remain in friendship with Sweden. BERLIN, MAY 24.—The French Princes having passed another day in the circle of the Royal Pamily at Potsdam, and viewed every thing remarkable in that residence of the Great Frederick, took leave of the King and all the members of the Royal Family, after the end of the play, and returned to Ber lin, intending to set out this morning at 8 o'clock, but were delayed till 10, in consequence of receiving visits from some distinguished persons, from whom they had already taken leave. The Princes go through Silesia to Vienna. We are already expecting more distinguished visitors—for instance, the Grand Duke Michael and his amiable consort the Grand Duchess Helen, who are going to the South %Vest of Ger many. VIENNA, MAT 19.—The apartments which the Emperor inhabited when Crown Prince are putting in order for King Otho. The French Pricnes will occupy the apartments in the Palace which were the residence of the Prince of Salerno. Many distinguished families have deferred their departure to the country, in order to be here during the visit of the Princes. The Nadir steam-boat which had returned to Presburg from its voyage to Pesth, having set out a few days ago with a great number of passengers to Pesth, had not pro ceeded a league from Presburg when it was discovered to be on fire, which spread so rapidly, that it was with great diffi culty that the passengers were all saved. The vessel and goods acre quite destroyed.—Haniburgh Papers, May 27. VIENNA, MAY 19.—The French Princes will stay here about ten days, and return to France by way of Turin. All well-informed persons affirm, that the tour of the Princes is wholly unconnected with politics ; nay, that communications have been made on this point, which leave no doubt of it. Lord Palmerston's letter to Messrs. Bell and Co. respect ing the rights of Russia to levy tolls at the mouth of the Danube, has caused much sensation here. We are curious to see the result of this difference in which Austria is so much interested. _ FRONTIERS OF ITALY, MAY 18.—Several journals have re peated, almost periodically for three years, a report of the in tended cession of Parma, Piacenza and Guastulla, for which there is no foundation whatever ; yet it is strange how some journals persist in so frequently repeating the falsehood.
