' - iltoritinff J Nom/ LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1844, I.7nfortunatc Spain seems destined to undergo new consulsions, and, to all appearances; as - fruitless as. any that have taken place since the first invasion of the French durin g th e reign of.NAPOLEON. The country novivhas been for nearly forty years in a constant state,of turmoil ; any little - trade that existed has beep - completely destroyed ; the energy of the people ba4fien turned 7 --not to the arts of civilisation, or commerce, or literature—but to plots and conspira-: cies and - intrigues ; and the most lamentable fact in this dismal account is,, that not one man of energy, coMbining honesty and patriotism, has sprung up during that long period. In the revolutions which have broken out in England and France, aP.ine bright genius—some man sur passing lilt his competitors, great as they were-- carnit forth to vindicate the honour of his country, and- lay the foundation of a syste:n of liberty, or, at , all event, of stable gevernment. England and Trance never appeared to such advantage; or were more respected and dreaded by foreign countries, than when they were torn by civil dissensions, and ap peared almost helpless against foreign aggression. What saved them ? The patriotism of 'the people— that • love of country which surpasses all other passions in energy and enthusiasm, and that noble spirit of independence which will brook no interference of strangers. CROMWELL vindicated the maje?cv of the English nation, and though regarded ai an usurper, was courted by every Sovereign, even the most absolute, in the civilised world. For years - before BONAPARTE distinguished himself; the French bad set all their enemies at defiance; raw troops, in spired with the love of country, marched almost to certain death—nothing was thought of but the inde- pendence of their country ; and, to their immortal honour, they not only expelled their worthless nobi lity anti clergy, but male inroads on their meddling neighbours, and magnanimously asserted the inde pendence of the French nation. What glorious struggles, too, the people of the Nether lands made against the whole power of Spain ! They fought to the death against slavery, and were finally victorious, and the house of A.witria strove in vain against a handful of patriots who followed the banners of TELL, and established a pure - Republic in the midst of despotic States.• What a contrast, when we turn to Spain —once the most energetic and powerful kingdom in Europe ! There line aril forservice—she u h b a i ! no . mercantile n av y. Bankrupt cy, dishonour,swindling, conspira cies, and mur d ers, are the only f A. e feature s which distin guish this mi sera bl e country , Dew constitution, under the directions of French authotitie (;' u h n been, framed, and w ill b e fully co mplete as less interrupted by some new conspiracy—som; new scheme for individual interests at the ex pense. of the wretched inhabitants—the victims of every regenerator and impostor. ZURDANU has raised the standard of revolt, but what can be expected from a ruffian of his character, whose only mode of punish ment is death, and who for his ow a individual inte rests would sacrifice the constitution of 1837, and sell himself to the f-st bidder. NAaVAEZ is bad enough, but ZUEBANO would be infinitely worse, and even Don CARLOS himself, who ought to have some regard for the people, would be worse than either. His Du rango decrees mark his ferocious nature, and altogether every leader that has yet appeared, with the exception of ESPARTERO, only exhibits the utter degradation and corruption of the Spanish nation. We look to the contest without the slightest hope of consolation; and every friend of humanity can only lament in despair the sufferings to which the lower classes, from all accounts the most remarkable in Europe, are sub jected by the worthless aristocracy, the grasping priesthood, and the mercenary officers and soldiers. Every year, nay, every month, some new out break takes place ; the unfortunate inhabitants are made the victims, their property is pillaged, they are shot like bents of prey, and there seems to be no end to their calamities. If evor any nation had a claim to the humane consideration of Christian States, Spain has the best right to demand their aid ; and France and England, and the other great Powers, will suffer much in the judgment of pos terity, if these horrible scenes are not put down by a universal combination i❑ the cause of humanity. A correspondent of a morning Contemporary notices the following, among other complaints which are . now being made by the more moderate and ra tional party in the Church against certain of the clergy, chiefly curates, who entertain Tractarian notions :—First, their doing the service in black gowns or white gowns ; secondly, their bowing before the altar; thirdly, their omitting or inter• polating prayers; fourthly, their turning to the east, ind often with their backs to the whole congrega tion; fifthly, their introducing a prayer in another part of the church after the sermon, which embraces scarcely more than has been actually prayed for three or four times in the Liturgy ; sixthly, their establishing offertories directed by the curate's own choice, and even pertaining to other countries ; - Ind lastly, their refusing marriages and burials, and even the Holy Sacrament, to persons on their death-bed, according to their own caprice. We Agree with our Contemporary's correspondent that these innovations—which, by the by, have been un known for ages—are all frivolous, and some of them ven ridiculous; and we ask with him, " Can any one imagine the Solute:we BRING to be conciliated by such thoroughly insignificant forms and cere monies ?" But not only are they absurd in a religious sense, but they are eminently mischievous in a worldly point of view, for they are creating dis gusts and jealousies and heart-burnings in the Church, and sowing the seeds of ill-will between the clergyman and his parishioners, which will be sure ere long to produ,ce a plentiful harvest, and give a shock to the Establishment from which it will be slow to recover. If ever there was a time when it was necessary for the Church to play s conciliatory part—when it was absolutely indispensable to its temporal safety to maintain an appearance of complete harmony and unity—that time is the present ; and yet it is precisely at this critical moment that it is most distracted by internal feuds and jealousies, and instead of concealing, seems to take a perverse satisfaction in exhibiting its sui cidal differences to the world! And wherefore all these dissensions in the Church ? What is their origin —what the object which the Dissentients have in view ? They originate in a childish passion for spe cious forms and ceremonies, and old, obsolete ob servances--obsolete, because proved by experience to be utterly worthless—among men whose imagination is more remarkable than their understanding; and their ob ject is to substitute the show for the substance—the form for the essence—the dead letter for the living spirit of religion, with a view to take captive the fancy of men, and by artful appeals to what exists in them of sentimentality, to bring them once again under the insidious domination of priestcraft. Such is the ob ject, scarcely concealed now, which the Tractarians have in view in so sedulously promoting what they Gall the restoration of the Church to it original purity. The spirit of free bold inquiry that has been so rife of late years, and which is rather the ally than the antagonist of true religion, is abhorent to these zealots, who, if they possessed the power— which we can confidently assure them they never Hill possess—would check the progress of the human mind in every direction, and put a stop to all legiti mate freedom of thought and action, from an appre hension, certainly not ill-founded, that it would prove injurious to their arbitrary and unwarranted pre tensions. Plausible as are its professions, lofty as are its claims, disinterested, to all appearance at least, as are its motives, and sagacious as are its advocates in their capacity of Divinity tiophists, Tractarianiana is neither more nor less than a crusade against common sense--a dictatorial attempt to check the advance of the human mind by subjecting it, by slow and artful degrees, to the uncontrolled, irresponsible dominion of priestcraft. Surely our Bishops, as men deeply in terested in the temporal welfare of the Church, should at once actively interfere in order to put a atop to these childish--but, alas! dangerous also—freaks of the Tractarians! But instead of this, we find them doing—what ? Actually throwing the weight of their influence into the scales of Tractarianism! We do not mean to say that all the Prelates are guilty of such injudicious conduct, but certainly two of the cleverest and most active of their number are ob. noxious to the charge of so acting. We allude, of course, to the Bishops of LONDON and EXETIIN— pIr nol ile fratrum t—,one of whom, by his ri diculous behaviour -on the subject .of the offer tory,. 20 tha .... ether his still more ridicu. lounindgment jn,4l,_case of the Rev. WamEn Buns; of Helston, hive inflicted a world of mischief on the best. interests of the. Church Establishment iVe anticipate avast increase in the ranks of Dissen from the ill-jud - gtd and ill-timed officiousness of these twin episcopal', luminaries, who seem to be on the most &Stant terms , of Acquaintance with common sense, and to be endowed with the very extraordinary and peculiar power of moving in no direction but a wrong one; SIIALSPEA.Rit'S complaint admirably applies to them " Man, rain man, Dressed in a little brief authority, Plays such fantastic tricks before high Maven As make the angels weep 1" In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies a lengthened discussion took place on the clause of the Reform Bill which annuls the hereditary right of the Peers to seats in the Upper Chamber. The Marquis of MotiTE VISGEN moved, as an amendment, that the functions of senators should be hereditary, in certain aristocratic families. Senor GALIANO opposed the amendment, on the ground that aristocracy no longer existed in Spain, and that it could not be revived by a law in defiance of public opinion. The Minister of the . Interior also spoke against the motion, and said the Government in pre paring the measure, had not lust sight of the conspicuous part which the nobility had acted in the history of Spain, while they, at the same time, looked to the present state of society, which did not permit a larger share of power to be given to the aristocracy than that contained in the Bill. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 88 against GO. According to some accounts, ZURBANO had en what might have been expected, for the writer evi dently had a strong bias against the present occupants, and made insinuations against them, to say the least, not very probable. The Constitutionnel, in adverting to the subject, says, "The letter, which is as odious as it is ridiculous, can meet with nothing but contempt from every right feeling mind in France and in Eng land." The National refuses to sully its pages by the insertion of the letter, and perhaps this is the best way to treat these er parte statements which are often full of exaggeration, and occasionally not founded on facts. Some of the journals express regret that France should ever have taken such useless and dis tant settlements under her protection, and throw no little blame on the Government for its want of fore sight. Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, it appears, has no wish to return to France at present. " A letter from that officer," says the Preme, " announces that the news of his disavowal bas reached him, and that being left at liberty to return to France, either directly or in about two years, after accomplishing a voyage, he has determined on adopting the latter course." The Aloniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho rising the Minister of the Interior to open an extra ordinary credit of 240,000 francs (9,6001.), to defray the expense of the experiment of an electric telegraph on a railroad of at least 24 leagues (60 miles) in length. The experiment, it is said, will be made on the Paris and Rouen line. The following literary gossip appears in the Paris Globe : 44 M. Dujarrier, the proprietor of the Presse, has taken M. Alexander Dumas upon lease at 60,000 f. a year. The Constitstionne/ announces to-day that it has acquired the exclusive property of M. Eugene Sue—we know not at what price, but we believe that he is to have a share in the property of the paper. The proprietors of the Cour tier Francais have offered M. Victor Hugo half the pro. perty of their journal for his novel entitled Quiquen grone.' But it is not only the novel that the daily press, absorbs, it is also the higher walks of literature and his tory. The aforesaid M. Dujarrier has just bought for 80,000 f. in cash, and an annuity of 4,000 f., M. de Cha teaubriand's 'Met:noires d'Outre-Tombe.„' Thus that book which, like a will, was to have appeared but after the death of the writer of Rene,' and 'Les Martyrs,' will be published during the life of the testator between a feuil !don of fashions and theatricals. This is not all; It is, at this moment, contemplated publishing M. Thiers history of the Empire' in the shape offeutlletons in the Constitutionnel. The bargain is proceeding ; if M. Thiers do but consider the hopes of a portefeuille as dis tant, he will assent to the arrangement. From that mo ment the bargain may be considered as concluded. Thus journalism will, ore long, absorb polities, the novel, high literature, history, and science." The subjoined letter from Bayonne, dated the 21st instant, appears in the Constitationnel:— '•News has just been received here that great agita tion reigns in Upper Aragon and at Saragossa, and that two small towns have reared the standard of revolt and declared against the Government, after having dis armed two companies of the Bourbon regiment and a company of carabineers. We have no positive account: of Zurbano. Official reports from the authorities and Consuls intimate that he has crossed the Ebro and got into Navarre, while from other sources we are assured that the intrepid guerilla is in Old Castile, marching upon Lower Aragon, by Morella, where he hopes to raise some partizans. We are assured that the Basque provinces are to be put in a state of siege, which will be a violation of their fueros. The authorities on the film tier have been recommended to observe the strictest surveillance." tered the town of Serie, %here ho was well received by the inhabitants, and where he, of course, took an opportunity of showing his cruel disposition. The political chief had, according to orders issued, pub• li,hed a decree by which ZURI3A3IO, on being taken prisoner and identified, was to be immediately shot. ZURnANO immediately ordered the unfortunate poll- Very little business was done in the funds at TOR- Tom's on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were quoted at Baf. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The President of the Chamber of Representatives announced that the general debate on the project of law relative to corn having been closed, the debate on the articles was to begin. After a long debate, and the proposal of several amendments, some of which were agreed to, the Chamber adopted the several parts of the project of law, and fixed its duration for two years. This last was carried by a majority of only one vote. The Minister of Finance then presented a project of lavr for alienating some national domains, and for the acquisition of some parcels of land to be added to the domain of Tereenren. The celebrated Berzelius has just been seized with so violent a congestion of blood that great apprehen sions are telt for the result. .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Permit me, through your invaluable columns, to call the attention of the commercial body to a society that has lately sprung up amongst certain commercial gentlemen, called ".The Commercial Tra vellers' Protection Society," the object of which, so far as I can learn, it to upset the present state of things, and to dispense with the social and convivial mode of meeting in the commercial room, by intro ducing a system of teetotalistn. I think it•right, if any such society is in existence, that it ought to be known, and not to be a secret society. It seems that it has for its object the complete upsetting of the pre sent usages at ions, thereby laying the foundation for still greater distress among the already-depressed landlords, and the ultimate end of which must be greatly to abridge the comfort of the commercial room. tical chief himself to be shot, and the order was car ried into execution. Saragossa had been declared in a state of siege. The Castellano states that at Cadia, on the 14th, the revolutionists had been tampering with the garrison of that city, and that General ARAOE, who was on his way to Cuba, had been arrested and mprisoned in the fort of St. Catherine. Many other arrests had been made in the south. .Respectfully soliciting the insertion of the above for the information of my fellow-travellers, and with a view also to ascertain the real state of the proceed ings of this so-called society—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, , AN OLD COMMERCIAL. TRAVELLER. Bristol, Nov. 25, 1844. T HE XTENSiVE'BANK ROBBERY TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta.,—We caution the public to the serious result of the above extensive robbery, and should advise the propriety of procuring good locks and safes before it be too late. We have made and continue to make, f o r some o f the first banking-houses in England locks and safes which will guarantee this security. The locks we apply to our safes and strong rooms are such as will defy the most ingenious picklocks, or false keys, and the only locks which will not admit of an impression being taken from the key in the event of its being left in the hands of the dishonest—a most important feature to the security of property, as duplicate keys are the most dangerous of instruments. We shall be most happy to show and explain to principals in what consists the superiority of this lock and key, as applied tb safes, strong rooms, &c. — We reo lain, Sir, yours obediently, S.

For obvious reasons the facts connected with the rob bery of the banking-house of Messrs. Rogers and Co. were kept with the greatest possible secrecy until a late hour yesterday,. and then only through the medium of the Mansion-house, and an official statement through the solicitors employed to conduct the inquiry. It was, indeed, not long before the close of business at the Stock Exchange that the fullest extent of this enormous robbery was known. We understand that assistance was immediately tendered to the firm. The business goes on as usual. As all that has yet transpired is most sacredly kept from the public, it would be worse than useless—nay, dangerous in the extreme, to give any of the rumours that are current relative to this extraordinary circumstance. As The Sun was the only paper that bad full particulars of the notes, &c., stolen, it was in great request yesterday afternoon. There is a numerous attendance of persons at the Mansion•house to-day, in the expectation that something may have transpired to give the " where abouts" of the thif or thieves ; but up to mid-day nothing whatever had been stated. There are not any arrivals in the City to-day from the British Colonies or elsewhere, -of importance. In fact, the delinquency above referred to, is the almost sole engrossing topic_ of conversation in monetary and other circles this Morning, The general opinion is, that the parties to the robbery made their way imme diately after the robbery to the continent. The most active means have been taken to apprehend the robbers. Stocks continue 'very firm, but there is very little doing. Consols are 2003 3 for Money and Time. Exchequer Bills realise 60.4. to 625, premium, and India Bonds under 1,000/. 82s, to 84s: premium. Bank Stock is 206 to 2063, being a further advance. India Stock has been steady at 2863. The New Three and-a Quarter per Cents. are 102 to 102+, and the Three per Cents. at 991 to 994. The. Foreign Investments share the dullness of our own Market. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 233 to 243, and the Three per Cents. 35 to 353 ; Portuguese Cone rted are 541- ; Mexican Bonds are a little firmer, being 351 to 553 ; lintel' Two-and-a-Half Cents. have been quoted 63 to 633, and the Four per Cents. 961 to 97. The Railway Shares have been steady generally, but there, is only a limited business doing. Some of the new lines maintain their value, while others have dropped lately. - 'ILICES OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List) Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

The Grand Junction Company deserves great credit for baying constructed the baths, which are oppo site the doors of their extensive workshops, and we have no doubt their intelligent workmen will avail themselves of the convenience.

On Monday the thirty-fifth anniversary of Louts Philippe's marriage was to be celebrated at St. Cloud; and, according to the Constitutionnel, the marriage et the Duke d'Aumale was to have been solemnised at Naples on the .saws day. A letter from Bordeaux of the 21st, published in the Journal des Debate, announces the arrival in that city of the infante Don Francisco de Paula and his family. .According to a Corsican paper, Louis Philippe is about to create another Duke in the person of Marshal Sebastiani, late Ambassador at the English Court. The Gazette de France ventures the statement that the Ministry have come to the resolution of applying to tha Chambers, at the commencement of the icn- I session, for the large sum of 80,000,0001. for the purpose of providing the fortifications of Paris with ordnance. Official accounts had been received at Marseilles of the arrival, on the 11th, in the bay of Naples, from the roads of Tunis, of the squadron under the orders of Admiral Parseval Deschenes, composed of the Ocean, Alger, and the Marengo. This squadron is destined to escort the future Duchess d'Aumale to Marseilles. A decree of his Sardinian Majesty has just been promulgated at Turin and Genoa, whereby the French _decimal system is to be applied to weights and mea sures throughout his dominions. The Prague Correspondent of the Cologne Gazette writes under date of the 15tb, that the Duke of Bor deaux had arrived there, and that it was highly pro bable that he would fix his residence in Bohemia, as he had purchased a large estate there. It appears that he has become extremely stout. Letters from Mora via state that Prince Wasa has sold his beautiful estate of Eichhorn to Baron Sina for a large sum of money. A club is about being established at Berlin, on the same plan as the Societe Italiana in that city, for the cultivation of English literature, and where only English is to be spoken. A large library, to consist of the most renowned English authors' works, is to be purchased for the use of the members. Dr. Spiker and Dr. Forster are at the head of the undertaking. 1 Accounts from Bayonne, of the 21st, state that the intelligence of Zurbano's revolt reached Saragossa on the night of the 14th, and produced an extraordinary sensation. The inhabitants openly sympathisel with the revolters, and .on the 16th the public excitement rose to such an extent that General Breton declared the place to be in a state of siege, and distributed his troops in commanding positions. General Concha, Captain-General of the Basque provinces, has established his head-quarters at Miranda del Ebro, from whence he will direct future operations against Zurbano. Brigadier Barranechea arrived at Irun from Tolosa on the 19th; and took the command of the frontier cordan. The entire frontier from Irun to Vera is strictly guarded by Spunish troops, for the double purpose of preventing any one from joining Zurbano from France, and to cut off his retreat. LAW AND' 7! OJGXCIs. At the New Court, Old Bailey, John Johnson, an expert lad, who made his third appearance et this bar, was convicted of stealing, on the 13th inst., 464 yards of Orleans cloth, value 151., the property of Mr. Co verney Doule. It was then proved that the lad had been before convicted of felony, and suffered three and six months' imprisonment. The Learned Judge in timated that the prisoner was irreclaimable, and too expert to be allowed to remain in this country ; the sentence, therefore, was, that he be transported be yond the seas for ten years. George Webb, aged eighteen, was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief,' value 45., from the per son of Mr. T. Clarkson. The evidence was of a very conclusive nature, and the prisoner was convicted ; but as there was no previous charge, he was only sen tenced to six months' hard labour. At Bow street two men, well known to the police, named George Carter and Joseph Edwards, were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with having bur glariously broken into the shop of Mr. Plowman, 9, Agar-street, Strand, and stealing four pair of boots and four pair of shoes, his property. The prisoners had nothing to say in their defence, and were commit ted for trial. A tall young man, who gave his name George Cook, was brought up to the Marylebone Court handcuffed, and charged with having stolen plate of different descriptions, to a considerable amount, the property of Mr. Thomas Sydenham Clarke, a bar rister, residing at No. 36, Gloucister-place, Portman square ; he was also charged with stealing a watch belonging to the footman. The prisoner, who had no thing to say, was fully committed for trial.
