The leaders of the Conspirac# have made their influence felt in more than half the Borough Registration Courts in the kingdom ; and they are now preparing to wrest from landowners that pre ponderating power which they have hitherto exercised in counties. Does the Herald deny that the League possesses the power of multiplying, almost without limit, forty-shilling freeholders in a ma jority of English counties ? No, our worthy Contemporary may not venture to deny that the dead' League is more full of vitality than ever, nor that the power of the landed aristocracy of England totters on all sides." This unequivocal testimony to the fast increasing political influence of the Anti- Corn-law League is the more valuable, as proceeding from a journal which has always been conspicuous by its uncompromising hostility to the principles of Free Trade. From the first establishment of the League down to its last great meeting at Manchester, who so decided as the Post in its opposition to it? Who treated it with such supercilious contempt? Who threw such unmitigated ridicule on its proceedings? Who so warmly repudiated the notion that it would ever be able to gain a settled influence over men's minds, or become a really dangerous antagonist to Mono poly ? Not two years—nay, not six months-since, nothing could be more loftily contemptuous than our Contemporary's language, when speaking of the Anti- Corn-Law League and its members. Mr. COBDEN was a mere vulgar, uninstructed cotton-spinner — a man of one idea, and that one a humbug ; and, as for Mr. BRIGIIT, he was a political quack of the first water, who supplied by impudence what he wanted in ability—a long-eared Ignoramus worthy only to bray in Brobdignag, or play the part of a Professor in Swim's flying island of Laputa. Talk of such men—the Post used to observe in its most tranchant style—ever gaining an influence over the mind of the community, or giving a shake to the proud fabric of Monopoly ! The idea is perfectly preposterous, and can be seriously entertained by none but fools and madmen ! Such was our Contemporary's language but one short year ago, or even less. But now, how changed his manner—how crest-fallen his spirit—how meekly sub dued his tone ! The Confederacy that he once des pised, he has at length learned to treat with deference. He now dreads what he formerly ridiculed. Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT have ceased to be mere brawl ing, uniufluential quacks in his estimation. He now discovers that they are men of tact—of energy—of perseverance—" the undoubted authors"—we quote his own words—" of the clamour for agricul tural improvement, and of the conversion of England into a corn-exporting country ;" and if they be' inconsistent and self-contradictory, "it may not be impossible"—urges our Contemporary in their de fence—" to point out self-contradictions on the part of other public men not less startling than those which Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT have found so profit able." Here is a change of sentiment with a ven geance l Not a mere partial reform, but a regular revolution, in opinion ! But we are far from de siring to blame the Post for this alteration in its tone, as regards the League and its members. On the contrary, we respect our Contemporary for his can dour—for his manly, though, doubtless, reluc tant, surrender of a prejudice in obedience to the promptings of common sense and jus tice—for his acknowledgment of the increasing, power of the Anti-Corn-law Confederacy and the decreasing power of the Monopolist landholders. We fear, however, that it must have been with an exceedingly wry face that he bore the above testi mony to the influence of the Leaguers in the Regis tration Courts ; and sure we are that he must have twisted and twirled and wriggled, like a half skinned eel in the hands of a fish-wife, before he could have brought himself to speak— we here again quote his own words —of the " mighty progress which the League is making !" " Mighty progress !" The expression is a striking one, but not in the slightest degree.exaggerated. The League is making " mighty progress;" and the day is not far distant when Sir ROBERT PEEL—true to his favourite system of expediency—will cry Peccavi at its dictation, and yield submissively to its autho ritative demand for a Repeal of the Corn-laws. the Irish bogs on a great scale, like that projected by Mr. NIMMO, the engineer. With regard to the effect of the first of these measures, he holds that "it. Would at dnce make the currency balance the rents and obligations which it has to discharge, and the labour which it has to employ, which state of em ployment and its wages would be about the same an they were on the average of the ten years closing the last war." As to the second, he shows that the opera tion of the law of Jersey (which will not permit the ejectment of a tenant, save by his own consent, so long as he "pays a fixed stipulated corn-rent, con verted into money at the market prices of the day"), is this, that it " makes all improvements the property of the tenant, as they ought to be, and protects the tenant in the enjoyment of the legitimate fruits of his own industry." Upon the third remedy he contends, that upon Mr. NIMMO'S report that the drainage of the waste lands of Ireland, about 3,000,000 out of 5,000,000 of acres being worth that process, at the expense of 1/. per acre, would reclaim, at 20/. the acre, which would then be their value, land to the ag gregate amount of 60,000,0001. sterling, and provide an incalculable mass of employment and amount of wages for the Irish people. The letter (which we reprint) will well repay the reader's perusal. The Madrid journals of 22d instant contain a great many rumours, and stories of plots and con spiracies, for which there may be some good founda tion, for it would be singular if the Spaniards, who look upon a pronunciamiento followed by a rebellion as matters of amusement, should allow the old Con stitution to be smothered without :raising even one cry in its behalf. The Heraldo publishes a letter from Valladolid, which asserts that a conspiracy has been discovered in that town, the object of which Was to proclaim the Constitution of 1812, and to prolong the minority of the QUEEN for four years, and that the conspirators, most of whom were military men, had been arrested. The northern provinces were also said to be in a most unsatisfactory state. Carlist refugees were constantly entering the Spanish territory in spite of the authorities. It was added that 25,000 muskets were ready to be introduced into Navarre, upon the breaking out of the first disorder. A letter from Perpignan of the 19th states, that orders were given on that day for the formation of a cordon upon the frontiers. It was said that Senor SALAMANCA had bought the palace of Buen Vista from the the Prince of PEACE, for four millions of reals. It is intended for the future residence of MARIA CHRISTINA and Murioz, when their marriage is acknowledged. A dotation of four millions of reals per annum and the title of Majesty are to be confirmed to the Queen-Mother. On the 22d an indictment was brought against the Espectador journal, for a libel on the Government, when a verdict of acquittal was returned by eight votes against four. This will give an additional impulse to the determination of NARVAEZ and Co. to put down trial by jury. The decision was loudly applauded. The Three per Cents. closed at 26 3-16 at sixty days ; Five per Cents., 20 at sixty days ; Passive Debt, 6 cash. If it be true that no difficulty, not involving moral or physical impossibilities, is invincible, Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD may live yet to witness the legis lative adoption of his 'long and fiercely denounced currency doctrines. Sir R. PEEL, we apprehend, will discover it to be rather a more laborious matter, next session, to provoke a "derisive cheer" against the worthy ex-Member for Birmingham, than he found it to be on bringing forward his Bank Charter Bill a few months ago. The best clap-traps--the most cleverly seasoned or adroitly disguised—are de tected, at last, in the House of Commons, as well as at other theatres ; and they who have used them the most freely and successfully are the most certain objects of commensurate resentment and disgust with the audience which detects them. The elaboration of the disguise is not permitted to excuse the decep tion. The " pilula" nauseates, despite the careful observance of the instruction, " volvetur aurato folio" —(incredible as such perverseness may appear to a bullionist)! At the reassembling of the House of Commons next spring, the Premier will attempt, in vain, to play off, on the "men of Birmingham," those carefully studied bursts of ingenious wonderment at other folks' wrong-headedness, which they who read Sir ROBERT best, term his " Joseph Surfaceism." The alarm, indignation, and energy of the Scottish banking and commercial public—powerfully repre sented in Parliament, and arrayed against the pro posal (to the attainment of which the Premier has distinctly pledged himself) for subjecting Scotland to the disaster and ruin consequent on the infliction ,of his gold-equivalent scheme ;—these feelings are too intense to be whistled down by his sorry jokes, or his uncandid allusions. Mr. ATTWOOD, on the other hand, may enjoy the honest consciousness of having been amongst the earliest detectors of the fraud of the Currency Bill of 1819, whereof this last is avowed to be the complement, and of having given to the whole scheme upon which these enormous sacrifices to the Usury power of the kingdom have been hazarded, his unqualified and uncompromising oppo ' sition through all good and evil report. He may claim, too, the honour of having rallied round him a large school of proselytes, although these may not concur with him in all his views, or carry them to the same extent. In the present movement of the Scottish bankers, and the invaluable exertions and tracts of the " Society for the Emancipation of In dustry," he must find indications of responsive opinion on one of the most vital questions which can occupy the public mind, that are calculated to compensate him for much of that ungenerous criticism and rancorous disparagement which he has experienced at the hands of influential public men, of far less practical acquaintance with that question, and far less honesty of purpose in dealing with it. Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD has just republished in the Morning Post a letter, in which he proposes " some real remedies," as he emphatically characterises them, " for Irish distress and disturbance." He suggests the introduction into that country of the Jersey tenure of land, of which, he says, that it is undoubtedly the wisest and the happiest in the world. If you could prevail upon a single Irish landlord to divide a few thousand acres of land into small allotments of five, ten, and fifty acres each, building upon them decent cottages, and letting them upon perpetual transferable rents, estimated in bushels of wheat, of oats, or of potatoes, convertible into money according to the varying average prices at the county town, you would be instrumental in setting in motiona vast Conservative principle, which would promote the riches of the landowner and the comfort and welfare of the tenant and labourer equally. The landowner would secure for ever a fair and just rent, and when the tenant found that all his improvements would thus become his own, he would quickly ac complish wonders in the state of cultivation. The landowner might at all times convert his transferable rents into money by sale in the markets, which would ensure hi m more th an the present value of his l tahe coursend. of proceeds,remediines he wouldhisprint p edle r t e tsecrribeo ; to indicatefrthe evils of Ireland. 1.

GuIZOT'S paper, the Globe, has at last spoken out without reserve on the new Spanish Constitution. It adopts it altogether, and sees in it one great beauty, a twin-likeness not to the French Constitution of 1830, but that of the present. The French Foreign Minister evidently had a large share in the labour of reconstructing the edifice, and we hope it will do him credit. The Spanish people are so lost to all sense of real freedom, patriotism, and honour, that other States begin to look upon them with an apathy bordering on contempt, and regret no experiment that can be tried to put down insurrections without an object, and re volutions which, as they follow each other, only become more fatal to free institutions. The Globe thus winds up an article in defence, evidently infer ring, and possibly with truth, that the Spaniards prefer slavery to freedom :—" It must not be supposed that we are of opinion that no Constitution is neces sary in Spain, merely because that country is Monar chical and Catholic. She must have a Con stitution, but it must be Monarchical and Catholic ; Catholicism must be declared the religion of the State, and the sovereignty of the people must be expunged from the Consti: tution. Has the Spanish Government gone too far in this course—has it really proposed an unreasonable Monarchical reaction ? Persons who entertain such an opinion cannot have read the Bill. The sove reignty of the people is effaced, and, as the basis of the Constitution is given, the unanimous will of the Monarch and the representatives of the nation. Such are the expressions of the preamble. Can anything be more moderate ? Is it not rather French than Spanish ? The Government consents to a life peerage in a country in which the institution of hereditary nobility is still in its force. This also is more French than Spanish. We comprehend, besides, the reserve of the Spanish Cabinet in .its reform of the Constitution. It has been anxious to give effect to French ideas, whilst it was acting for old Spain. It has had an eye to the future. The reformed Consti tution is still in advance of the nation, but it indi cates the object to be attained by the nation, and to which, without doubt, it will attain. If there should be any tumult in Spain in consequence of this reform, we may be sure that the people will have nothing to do with it. Agitators will have laid hold of the reform as a pretext to satisfy their ambition. The people will not fire a musket for their own sove reignty ; they would sooner do so for the sovereignty of Don CARLOS." The Carlist Quotidienne takes a very different view of the affair, and in the same spirit which ani mated the Jacobite ballads of Scotland, proclaims that there will be no peace in Spain till CARLOS is installed in the Escurial : " The men, who at this moment think they can re establish a monarchical Government in Spain by en deavouring;to efface from its Constitution the principles of revolution, are undeceived in the most striking manner even by the very factions who are contending for power. To men who have shouted Long live Narvaez other men reply with acclamations of Long live Espartero and should Espartero set his foot on any one point of the Spanish territory, he would find partisans and draw to himself troops, and a new Pronunciamiento would at once put in jeopardy both reform and reformers. In what position then is the monarchy in a country where its Constitution and its Government are thus at the mercy of two rival influences—where the sword of two warriors, superior to the sceptre itself, must decide the destiny of the State? We have seen amongst ourselves formerly in the times of minority and regency conten tions of ambition between our great men ; but the Con stitution of the State was never shaken, and every one knew that on the day when the King should take the reigns of Government into his own hands, the moral authority of his royal rights would at once restore peace to the country. In Spain the monarchy, although at its majority, is without its due power, because in that martial country the disastrous attempt of combining usurpation with the distaff is being tried. In Spain, at this moment, the real Sovereign is Narvaez, to-morrow it may be Espartero, and nothing but civil war can be the consequence of this perpetual rivalry. One is not less revolutionary than the other, and for both the sword is the ultimo ratio of Government. In a country where the passions are so easily inflamed, where adven turous and warlike men are always so prompt in having recourse to the terrible arbitrament of trial by battle, law and justice must interpose between the champions who are contending for power. Now justice protests against the will of Ferdinand, and the royal right, as regards both Narvaez and Espartero, is not at Madrid, but at Bourges." The Senate, as will be seen from the following telegraphic dispatch received at Paris, has made quick work of the address : " MADRID, OCT. 25, " Tho discussion on the address was terminated this morning in the Senate. The paragraphs of the project of the Committee were adopted almost unanimously." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers. The Presse says : " It is known that when M. Guizot received from the hands of M. Martinez de la Rosa, the Spanish Ambassa dor in Paris, the Order of the Golden Fleece, several de corations of the Legion of Honour were given to the Ministers and other important personages of Spain ; but in this number M. Martinez do la Rosa was not included, although he was certainly not less entitled to it than them. This omission can only be explained, by sup posing that the Government imagined that the Grand Cordon Rouge of the Order of Christ of Portugal, which M. Martinez de la Rosa wore at the time of the inves titure of M. Guizot, was that of the Legion of Honour. " The Governor of the Island of Bourbon opened the session of the Colonial Council on the 20th of May last. In the speech which he delivered on the occasion, he announces the intention of making an experiment of the system of free labour in the colony. Ile says ;—. 4 The relations which are about to be established at the ex tremity of the East, by a representative of the King, will enable you, I hope, to call in the la bourers in ai of your ' agricultur• and augment its wealth and activity.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Everts.) IN RE JOSHUA SMITH. The insolvent, a schoolmaster, late of Norwood, now of 15, Blissett-street, Greenwich, applied to-day for his interim order, but was opposed by Mr. Duffield, a cre ditor for 2251, on the ground of his having furnished an incorrect schedule. The creditor having made his statement relative to his own debt, Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he should defer the matter to a future day. Had Mr. Duffield any further objection at that time ? Mr. Duffield said there was one circumstance which he felt bound to mention to his Honour. The insolvent to his (Mr. Duffield's) certain knowledge had borrowed a sum of 701. from a poor woman, without her husband's sanction, and that sum was not placed in the schedule. Mr. Commissioner EVANS (to the petitioner)—ls the fact so? Did you borrow 701. from this woman? I did, your Honour. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—How comes it that you have not mentioned it among your other debts? Because she forgave it me. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Was her husband aware of it? No; it was her own private property. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—A married woman has no private property. The sum must be added. The insolvents solicitor was going to speak; but Mr. Commissioner EVANS said he would hear no more. Hero was an insolvent in an amount of 3,4391 without an available shilling to pay his creditors, and the very least he could do under the circumstances was to let them have a correct statement. He should deer the petition until such was given to the Court. --- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Newman, a private in the 2d battalion of the Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar on the fol lowing charge s Mr. Williatn White, of No. 13, New Wharf, Black friars, a barrister's clerk, aged about 18 years, stated that about half-past eight o'clock last evening he was passing through Hyde Park, when the prisoner overtook him, and forced a conversation on him, continuing to walk by his side. As witness was proceeding in the di rection he was going, towards Albert-gate, from Bays water, the prisoner still continued to walk beside him, , and at length made propositions to him of an abominable nature, and committed a very gross assault upon his person. Be indignantly repelled it ; and the prisoner then snatched his walking-stick out of his band, and said, "If you don't give me what you have about you, I'll charge you." Witness said he had nothing to give him, and would call the police, and did call loudly out for them. The prisoner, however, per sisted in searching him, feeling in his pockets, and took from one of his waistcoat pockets some small amount of copper coin, and a gold-mounted enamelled seal ; also a red silk pocket-haldktrollief from oneof his coat pockets. The prisoner then said, " You've a watch." Witness said he had not, when the prisoner said, "I must search you again," and felt his fob ; but, on finding that he had no watch, he said, " You must give me your coat ; take Wolf* your back." Witness then called again for the police, and on hearing the footsteps of some persons approaching, the prisoner set off running. Sergeant Hardwicke, A, and constable No. 106 of the same division, asssisted in capturing the prisoner as he was running away, after he had been seen to throw down the property he had robbed the prosecutor of. On the way to the police-station, the prisoner offered to give to Sergeant Hard wicke a valuable silver watch, with gold chains, seals, &c., which he had suspended round his neck by a black ribbon, adding, " take and share it amongst yourselves, and let me off, for I know how these cases go. ' He afterwards said that he would rather have been shot than such a thing should have happened. The sergeant of the company to which the prisoner belonged stated, that he bore a bad character in the regiment. He had long been suspected of being one of those soldiers who infest the parks at night, and rob persons, under the threat of making abominable accu sations against them. The prisoner said he was innocent. Sergeant Hardwicko said he had been charged with a similar offence twelve months ago, at Queen-square Police-court, but escaped through some legal inaccuracy. Fully committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court.

BRUTAL A S SAULT.—penis Gorham, who has been frequently charged at this office with the commission of very aggravated assaults, was placed at the bar before Mr. Lung, charged with having assaulted John Luther man, a potman, at the Coachmakers' Arms, Marylebone lane. The complainant stated that yest er d a y a ft ern oon be was sent by his mistress to post two letters. He had only proceeded a short distance wh e n the defendant came up to him, raised his fist, knocked the complainant down, snatched the letters from him, and ran away. Complainant followed him, and on coming up to him, he swore ho would murder him if he followed him, and again threw him down. He al so assau lt e d hi m several times with a strap with a heavy buckle at the end of it. A policeman came up, and he was given into custody, and was not conveyed to the station-house without difficulty. In answer to the charge, he said he was drunk at the time, and did not know what he was about. The prisoner was further charged with having bru tally ill-treated a person who was confined in the same cell with him, because he would not sing. Mr. LONG said be had heard quite enough, without going into the last case, to think it his duty to punish the defendant to the utmost extent he had the power of doing. lle should fine him 51, or two months' imprisonment, for the assault on the complainant, without taking into account the very serious assault on the constables. A man named Flannagan was fined 20s. far endea vouring to get the last prisoner from the police, and for using considerable violence towards them.

On Saturday the King and Queen of the French, their Royal Highnesses Madame Adelaide, the Duchess d'Or leans, the Duchess de Nemours, the Princess de Join- Ville, and the Duke d'Aumale, accompanied by Generals Athalin and de Rumigny, the Count de Strada, and two orderly officers, visited Versailles, but returned to St. Cloud to dinner. In the evening their Majesties re ceived the Ministers of the United States, Sweden, Chili, and Tuscany, the Minister of Commerce, the Count de Chabannes, Barons de Busseres and Deffaudis, M. de Lesseps, and M. Conte, Director-General of the Post office. M. Herbet, the French Consul-General at Dublin, has been appointed Consul at Trieste. Dr. Bowring, M.P., arrived in Paris on Saturday, at the Hotel Victoria, from London. Mr. Hume, M.P., has also arrived in Paris. M. Lebas, the member of the Institute, who has been two years in Greece on a scientific mission, hav - lately written to the Minister of the Interior, stating that he has collected about 4,000 Greek inscriptions, 2,500 of which are entirely new, and the rest corrected and rendered more complete. With these be has 500 drawings of antique buildings, statues, and bas-reliefs, besides several pieces of sculpture in marble, which will be valuable to the arts. The Journal des Chemins de Fer states that it forms part of the arrangement between the Saint Germain Railroad Company and the Government on the atmos pheric railway from Nanterre to the terrace of St. Ger main, the various systems of Messrs. Clegg, Hallette, Perquem, Chaineroy, &c., shall be tried for a certain time before the opening of the road to the public, in order to test the advantages of each. The first section of the railroad of Lower Silesia, viz., from Breslau to Leignitz, a distance of about 58 English miles, was opened on the lath. This is part of the great line of railway which will extend from Kiel (Holstein) to Trieste, and thus connect the Baltic Sea with the Adriatic. A letter from Sarterre, in Corsica, of the 21st, states that a man named Canazzi, who on the 13th assassinated a medical student named Pianelli, in the commune of Olmeto, and who had almost immediately afterwards posted up a notice forbidding all persons to work on the property of Captain Pianelli, the uncle of his victim, has paid the penalty of his crimes. The authorities, deter mined to seize on this man, pursued him so hotly that he was obliged to take refuge in the arrondissenient of Ajaccio. The brother of the young man who was mur dered continued to pursue him unceasingly, and on the night of the 16th he and some gendarmes succeeded in bringing him to bay, after the exchange of a few shots. The Marseilles and Toulouse journals contain accounts of severe storms, accompanied with an enormous fall of rain, in these places ; but it does not appear that any serious damage was caused. On the debate in the Portuguese Chamber of Depu ties on the measures of the Government during the sus pension of the Constitution, Ministers had a majority of , 48, in a house of 1 00 members. The Ministry is, there fore, secure. Despotism is congenial to the soil of the Peninsula. The mem b erh of the Congres Vinicole met at Bor deaux ©n the 24th to: the first time this year.

The case of Sawyer, the attorney, of Bow-lane, Cheap side, came on for judgment, before Sir C. F. Williams in the Bankruptcy Court. The Learned Commissioner con eluded his judgment in these words:—" I am of opinion that no day shall be named for the final order, and that he be forthwith remanded to the prison from which he has for a short time been released, under the authority of this Court." The insolvent was forthwith conveyed to the Queen's prison. Patrick Gamon, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding, and thereby seriously endangering the life of police-constable Higgins, 130, of the N division of metro politan police, also with violently assaulting police-con stable Gooderam, 433 N, was committed for trial, from Clerkenwell. At Queen-square, yesterday, a young man of colour, whose attenuated figure, and threadbare garments in dicated the extremes of disease and poverty, -applied to the Magistrates for relief. The applicant, who had evidently received a liberal education, was, he said, a native of Demerara, and came to this country at a very early period. On the death of his father, who was connected with the West India trade, applicant, who was educated for the medical profession, was obliged to relin quish it on account of pecuniary difficulties, and the prejudice he had to contend against as a person of colour. In consequence of long-continued ill-health, which had now assumed an asthmatic form, he had been reduced to very great distress, and, with a wife and child to support, was compelled by dire necessity to make the present application. Mr. Bond afforded him some tem porary relief, from the poor-box, and desired him to call again in a few days. Louis Woodcock, a gentleman of property, who is well known from his disputes vrith various hotel-keepers with whom he has at times taken up his abode, was charged at Marlborough-street with having broken two lamp-shades, and also assaulted Mrs. Coquerell, landlady of the European Hotel, Leicester-place. It appeared that the defendant went to the European Hotel to obtain linen he had left there, but the linen was refused to h i m 0 , - ;!il he had paid the balance of his bill. This excited the '•:.! endant, and with his stick he broke the u g lasses in question, and then afterwards struck the land lady a blow on the o i:th and two on the body. He was fined 31. Thomas, a tobacco and At Lambeth-street, Mr. tr. 1 , . on _extensive business at snuff manufacturer, carrying ;;ftfor . e Mr. Henry, No. 115. Ratcliff-highway, appeared to answer to two informations, charging 1;1m with hav ing on his premises 173i1bs. of smuggled tobacCO3 which had been found by the Customs' officers on the bi b and 7th instant. He was committed on both informatL7s in the penalty of 1681. 18s. 6d., and detained until tha money was paid. The late M.P. for Newcastle-under Lyme, Mr. Jahn Quincy Harris, appeared at Union-hall yesterday, to answer a charge of endeavouring to provoke Mr. Philip Roberts, of Upper Montague-street, Russell-square, to a breach of the peac... The parties, it appeared, were con nected by marriage, and in consequence of family dis putes Mr. Harris had challenged Mr. Roberts to fight a duel. Mr. Harris was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in 500/. to keep the peace. At Hammersmith, Mrs. Susannah Folkard, 10, Pel ham-road, Brompton, who has repeatedly appeared at that court on similar charges, appeared before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, on summons charging her with having, on the 16th day of October instant, and on divers other da) s, burst into the house of Colonel Francis Home, at Knightsbridge, in the metropolitan police district, and then and there behaved in a menacing and violent manner, whereby the said Francis Home ap prebends some bodily harm. The magistrate ordered her to find two sureties in 10/. each to keep the peace, upon which the defendant declared that she would die in prison first, and then the public would know the villainy with which Colonel Home had treated her. She was accordingly conveyed to prison. Isaac King, a coal-porter, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, at the Thames Police-court, on a charge of breaking sixteen panes of glass in the Harrow public house, High-street, Poplar. He was fined 405., which he soon paid. Singular enough, before his liberation the breaking of glass was renewed in the High-street front age of the tavern, and continued at intervals throughout the day. About thirty panes of glass were broken during the day. The stones appeared to come over the houses on the opposite side of the way. Some of King's relatives and a companion live in that quarter, but the persons who threw the stones could not be discovered. Mr. Abbott caused posting-bills to be printed and cir culated, offering a reward of 51. for the discovery of the offenders, and several policemen were on the look out. 0 °VAT --' ILS3IqZOIII di331411.

It is a remarkable sign of these railway times, that not only have all the shares in the Derry and Ennis.- killen been taken, but that there were shares applied for beyond the number allotted to the amount of 11,1761., or, in surplus capital, 558,800/.

The restrictive commercial policy so pertinacious''' . maintained for the benefit of the land Gwne rs is pre ducing the worst results that were anticipated foul it. The Brazilian Government, who have for 'y ear : reasoned, advised, courted, and at last threatelle", that they might obtain a removal of the Yestr i f„, tinny imposed on the importation of their sugar in_,,"`" this country, have at last acted. The Brazil: ens have long since shown their desire to establish * liberal commercial intercourse with this countrff and, by_the resolution they have adopted, they prtl e themselves thorough masters of the subject, able tact clans, and apt imitators of the cunning condifioal provisions for the protection of a class, which t Robert Peel has so liberally introduced into a ll ter° commercial regulations adopted by his Governme n t In his remodelling of the tariff in 1842, Sir Rob e introduced the system of making comprehensive e!:i ceptions in favour of various interests, such as I'S not previously existed, and in his modification, h'e rather derangement of the sugar duties this year, A 4 introduced a special reservation, placing in the 6f the Executive Government the power to achn' t b ° 6 exc h i ,:le, by lowering or advancing the duties; pro d uce ,f certain countries, according to their int ern policy : 1 : had its sugar, w h e , - eby Brazil, though not specially na med which we so much require, just,:, e ffectually excludeJ; as though a special pr o m. bition had been enae..ed against our importing produce of that country. it is long since the Melt bers of the Brazilian Government characterised, A S deserved, the conduct of the British aristocracf monopolising the supply of food for tile country, ato the supineness of the British people in submitting it. Being fully aware of the position of parties, a i t' or the , real motives which covered the pretence O, the mock humanity displayed on the s l a ve quest',"o,,, the Government of Brazil has not been slow to the taliate on the commerce of this country for invidious distinction made against their own, rfe, that in terms equally powerftil, yet equally ge,o rally. expressed with the terms in which O st Robert Peel couched his recent prohibition agar. the admission of Brazilian produce into our IV7 o f kets. By the packet just arrived we have a copy the new tariff agreed to for that country , which CO P, tains, amongst other provisions, the f ollowing stir gent clauses, which speak for themselves : Th e Government is authorised to impose upon o p merchandise of any country, in which the produe 9 of Brazil is liable to a higher duty than similar produ ee o other countries an additional duty, so as to ne utrwi re the ill effects of the difference of duty upon Brazil P ed duce, such additional duty to cease when the incress duty upon Brazil produce shall be abolished. t he " A similar differential duty will be charged uP °ll Of, c " merchandise of any country in which the produ e , ' jp Brazil is chargeable with a higher duty if imp orte foreign vessels than in national bottoms." " of By this imitative provision of the enactmeal-„o• the Peel Cabinet, it will be observed that the G ° ' l, merit of Brazil reserve the unqualified power of tota'o;', prohibiting the importation of British manufa ctu l F or It is net only an additional duty which i 5 bicb posed on the produce of those countries impose a higher duty on the produce of P; 01 0 than that of any other country. The Br fi° , / ,0 provision contemplates more than this. It pr° - for the imposition of such additional dutY l ita will neutralise the effect of such Pto provisions, by leaving the Government fre °ee t be add cent by cent to the duty, till ob i, educe of such countries are thoroughly PTd, t4,: - ed—the bad effects of their legislation neatre',,, i t of The ,three countries to which the greatest anntiteil Britisfi manufactures is exported, are the u'orst States, the east Indies, and Brazil. To the tvv ° s 1111 the exports rioN v avera g e about six millions 89,,, na and to Brazil, prior to the late rupture Ytrn v efe Government of tat country, the export' upwards of five mOons and these o f the to fia t ' scriptitm which afford ,tl:e best remunera t op our ma nufacturers. The Al, `'le exports of Gre a oo lll l taro only average about fift. , ," millions aa ii r tlO 4 and have been more frequently unc,..'r than ' 3° o o a mount. By the injudicious, limis Pr a Di, made by our Government last sessa.on , .* f r t the retaliation it has caused on the P - 00 0e: Brazil, here, then, is a tenth of our whole le r, factured exports at once to be prohibited and the hands of the makers; and that good S 'Alfi v k cost of which consists almost entirely of labour' the suppression of so much of the employment T o be our countrymen stand in need of, they are yet compelled at the same time to pay threepeue: fof pound additional on all the sugar they consi r itis b , the benefit of our colonial monopolists. The A IP, m aster and workman are thus first toe' pes l the benefit of the monopolists, and they ar e ° , 0 0 starved out of the means of b ot h PaYiPrifsei tax, and of existence fir the very same ..,F; ; ; c oa ll t , w Along with the co of the new Brazil tariff , v 0c 10 3 „/ D'Abrantes has come nassenger in the same 1_,3, , carrying with him full p o wers it is underslnio yet holding out the olive brat2.cl, and of neP on an equitable commercial treaty with du s before the damage and ruin consequent. 1 tis ? 0 1 breaking off all commercial intercours e selo completed.
