DOROTHEA, CONSORT OF GEORGE 1., Elector of Hanover, and King of England. Including her Diary of the Conversations of various Distinguished Personages of her Times, and Selections from her Correspondence, now first published from the Originals. The story of the life and fate of Sophia Dorothea has hitherto been almost unknown in this country, in consequence of the strenuous en deavours of her persecutors to involve their chief incidents In an im penetrable mystery. Late discoveries in the archives of the prin cipal German Courts, and some private MSS. collections, have, how ever, brought to light the whole of the singular history of this Princess, in which her wrongs and sufferings till her death, after thirty-two years' incarceration, are brought forward in a picture of Court life in the last century, to the extraordinary features of which no imagina tion can do justice.

The House of Lords did not sit last evening. The Commons met at at Four o'clock. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY moved the committal of the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be committed that day six months. The amendment was agreed to, and the Bill was, con sequently, lost. THE SUN, LONDON, THITits'DAI monNING,' JuNE 19, 185 GOULBURN completely in that respect, who went back only as far as the end of March, while the Spanish Chancellor of the Exchequer will levy the new impost from the l tof January last. The bull fights bad com menced, and one of them, if we are to believe a Madrid !otter, promises to be most interesting, as several of the foreign diplomatists, or attaches, are to figure as matadors. The writer says, " An an bull-tight is to take place on the estate of Senor F.tcutioA., which will derive considerable attraction from the parts which some foreign diplomatists are to enact on the occasion. Amongst those mentioned are, LIVINGS DON, Secretary to the American Legation; the Duke DE GLUCKSBERG and M. MERCIER, of the French Embassy; and M. DE BEAUVALLON, a writer of the French Globe, who some mouths ago killed in a duel M. DUJARRIER, connected with the Presce. The Spanish Funds continue to improve. On the 10th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and at 311- at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 201 for cash, and 21 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 26i for cash; and the Debt without Interest at 6 15-16 for cash. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday the principal business for the remainder of the session was arranged, and the following Bills will be passed:—The Paris and Strasburgh, the Tours and Nantes, the Dieppe and Fecamp, and the Avignon and Aix Railway Bills. Several others will be postponed, but all the great lines are to be commenced without delay. In reference to these great undertakings, as well as to the large sums voted by the Chamber for bridges, canals, harbours, and other national works, the Presse pays a just compliment to the new dynasty as well as the Legislature. " The Government of 1830," it says, " may be accused of want of discrimination in its numerous enterprises, of having been prodigal on some points, and penurious on others. But altogether the country has made considerable pro gress during the last fifteen years with respect to modes of communication. The Chamber is about to discuss after the budget of expenses, a Bill by which a sum of 28,000,000 f. is allocated for the amelioration of the fol lowing harbours :—Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Fecamp, Port-en-Benin, Granville, Morlaix, Launay, Lorient, Marans, les Sables d'Olonne, Bandoi, Bastia—in all, thirteen ports. Several of those harbours possess a real importance, and one at present in so neglected a state as not to afford any advantage to trade. Calais, Boulogne, Granville, Dunkirk, and Fecamp, in the Channel, invite the solicitude of a government. According as the con struction of railroads facilitates the communications between the interior and the coast, it becomes necessary that the sea-ports should affOrd both national and foreign commerce a secure station." But, independent of national improvements, this system has other most important advantages. These useful works furnish employment to the labouring population, benefit the landowners, give an outlet to capital, and tend besides to turn the public mind from the dreams of foreign conquest to the more noble and more substantial blessings of local improve ments. This is a victory far greater than any gained by NAPOLEON, and does the highest honour to Louis PHILIPPE. The representatives of the people now ma nifest the same disposition—they are liberal in their grants for national works, but rival Mr. Hustx and Mr. WILLIAMS, the guardians of the English Exchequer, in cutting down the army estimates. These estimates were taken into consideration on Monday, and Marshal SOULT, who hates reductions, was beaten on every point. On the Government vote of 17,000,000 E for the staff de• partment being proposed, an amendment was moved, in accordance with the report of the Committee, to reduce the amount by 80,000 francs, and, though opposed by the Government, was adopted. A reduction of 10,000 f. was also made in the estimate for commandants of military schools, and not less than 200,0001. in the recruiting department. Marshal SOULT would give up 'only 18,0001., but the Chamber would not bate one franc, and he was obliged to submit. The Marshal (says the Const:tationneo is shortly to leave Paris for his estate in the south of France, whence he would proceed to visit the camp forming at Bordeaux, under the command of the Duke D'AUMALE. Accounts from Algiers state that Marshal BUGEAUD had lately made several razzias with complete success—in one he had taken a number of prisoners and 3,000 head of cattle ; and in another had made 150 prisoners and captured 1,500 head of cattle. ABD-EL-KADEH was at Ksar-Beida, near Tanguin, 45 leagues to the south of Teniet-al-llad.

There are accounts by her Majesty's packet Swift, from Rio, to April 23. It appears that the Chambers were still discussing the bud - get, and that the proposition of the Committee of Finances to levy an extra duty of 6 per cent. on English cotton manufactures was expected to be carried. The exchange on London had been up to 25d., but subsequently went back a little. The Coffee Market was moderately supplied, and the sales were moderate. For stock there was scarcely any demand, and the quotation had receded a little. The Funds are rather livelier to-day, but there is some ' what of a disposition to sell. Consols have been down to 99, but rallied afterwards to 99%. Exchequer-bills were at 565. to 535. prem. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 102% to %.

Tkirteen yachts were ent ere d, a ll of which were gaily decked with their distinguishing flags, &c . The taasbcet ofing admirable, and evidenc e d the their respective command ers . The r e sult of the match was that to the Phebe, Thomas Moss, E sq ., wa s awarded the first prise for the first class; to the Hebe, R. B. Preston, Esq., the second, for the third class; and to the Mermaid, John Grindrod, Esq., the third prize, for the second class. On Monday last a train of twenty-two carriages left the Shoreditch terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway for Chelmsford, conveying about 700 members of the London Tem perance Societies, who were met at the Chelmsford station by a body of teetotallers from that district, with banners, music, Pec., and after passing in procession through the principal streets of the town, proceeded to the grounds of James Christie, Esq., in the Broomfield road, where they passed the day in witnessing a plough ing match, sheep-shearing, cricket, swinging, angling, and other pastimes, not forgetting eating and drinking, which took place in three large marquees erected for the occasion. Thanks to the ex cellent arrangements of the railway officials, the journey up and down was performed to the entire satisfaction of all. PRIZE-FIGHT FOR 501.—0 n Tuesday the fight between Jack Driscoll and Apple Daddy was decided; both men are well known members of the ritig. In betting, Driscoll was the favourite at odds. The pugilists and their friends left London by the Brighton Railway, and arrived at the selected locality (Horley Common). The necessary preliminaries being arranged, the men entered the ring, and appeared in fine condition ; they shook hands in a friendly manner, and then put themselves in a fighting attitude, and after a severe round both went down. Apple Daddy soon proved himself a better " general" than was anticipated. They contended with unabated spirit, and at thirty minutes both men exhibited marks of punishment. Fifty minutes had now been occupied, and both were struggling for pugilistic honours, and at the next round Driscoll received a desperate blow. The contest was prolonged twenty minutes longer, when it was quite obvious Apple Daddy was the stronger man ; his opponent, however, was reluctant to relinquish the hostilities and endeavoured to keep up the fight, when nature refused to assist him further, and the sponge was thrown up by his seconds in token of submission, and Apple Daddy was declared the winner. The fight lasted seventy-six minutes. The result was contrary to general expectation, and muen money mast have been won and lost. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES Commenced yesterday, and, the overflowing of the " mon ster" meeting at Ascot having enabled the managers to came oat with a remarkably strong bill, albeit, saving the handicap, of slender attractions to sporting men, drew a larger attendance than could have been expected from the gloomy and unpropi tious state of the weather in the early part of the day ; re spectable, however, as the master undoubtedly was under the circumstances, it was not numerous enough to " pay,"—the proprietors of the course and their co-speculators, the tenants of the stands and refreshment booths, must, therefore, trust to the second slay for their chances of " making both ends meet." 'f o speak in detail of the racing would be to lose sight of the leading characteristic of these meetings; sport is less thought of at Moulsey than " fun,"—an cbject that, notwithstanding frequent showers was not forgotten yesterday. Leaving the return, then;to show that there was no lack of legitimate amuse ment of a better kind than usual, we may state briefly that the first race was not run until two o'clock, and that in con sequence the last heat of the Strawberry-hill Stakes was not decided until nearly six. It is due to the Clerk of the Course to add that the order of sunning was ob served with considerable punctuality, and that the day's sport was bronght to a termination without any untoward interruption. So ereditable a beginning augurs favourably for the " grand day." The wea ther, which, as we have intimated, was unfavourable in the morning, became fine after the third heat for the Cup, and continued so to the close. The first race on a card that, for correctness, threw Ascot into the shade, was he Gold Cup, in specie, by Subs, of 5 sovs. each, with 40 added, for three yrs old, 7st 71b ; four yrs, Bst 101 b ; five yrs, 9st 31b; six yrs and aged, 9st 71b.

THE MELODY COLT AFFAIR. The inquiry into this case, which was commenced on Sallie -1 day last before the Stewar.ls of the Jockey Club, assisted ;:y Lord Normanby and Colonel Peel, terminated yesterday even ing. The following is a copy of the official report and sen tence : " We have examined into the charge against Mr. Crommelin, of having offered John Day, jun., a large bribe to procure the defeat of the horse then called the Melody colt, in the Derby of 1840. This charge, founded upon a statement made to Mr. Etwall, tlie proprietor of the horse, by John Day, jun , was supported only by his own evidence, which we find to be utterly unworthy of belief, contradicted, as it was, on many im portant points, by letters in his own handwriting of that date, addressed to Mr. Crommelin, and produced by him. It having been necessary for Mr. Crommelin's defence that he should place these letters in evidehce before us, we further find from the contents that, subsequent to this period, both John Day, sen., and John Day, jun., had not only continued but increased their intimacy with Mr. Crommelin, whom one accused, and the other believed capable of such atrocious villany, and to which person John Day, jun. , was in the habit of confiding the secrets of the stable. The nature of this cotinexion appears to us to have been very discreditable to all the:parties concerned; but, considering the length of time that has elapsed since the transactions occurred, we think it unnecessary now to take further steps with respect to this part of the case, than to give the strongest expression of our opinion that sach a connexion as has been established is calculated to destroy that confidence in the faithful attention of public trainers to the legitimate interests of their several masters, on the security of which the continued prosperity of the Turf can alone rest. John Day, junior, having before U 3 endeavoured to support a criminal charge by wilful falsehood, we direct that he be warned off the Course at Newmarket, and out of the Coffee room yard there, and be not permitted to ride in any race at Newmarket. We also recommend the Proprietors and Stewards of all Race-courses, where the rules of the Jockey Club are in force, to prevent him from appearing on such courses.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A LICENSED VlCTUAL cittes ♦r LAMBETH. —Shortly after two o'clock on Tueday afternoon a fire broke out in the extensive premises known as the Jolly Gardeners public-house, occupied by Mr. Samuel Bird, licensed victualler, and situate at the upper end of Lambeth-walk. It is not exactly known how the fire originated, but while the family was at dinner their attention was arrested by a strong smell of smoke and fire. In another instant the flames manifested them. selves by bursting from the cellar, through the floor of a private parlour, most valuably furnished, and adorned with a quantity of paintings of considerable worth, and highly Prized by the proprietor. The flames had obtained so thorough a hold that in a few minutes this room was one body of fire, and so intensely did it burn that it was found impracticable to save any of the articles of vertu or the furniture. Without delay information was dispatched for the engines, and iu as short a time as was possible the parish-engine, the Waterloo-road brigade engine, the West of England engine, the Southwark bridge-road, and Messrs. Burnett's distillery engine were got to work. An abundance of water flowing from the main of the Lam. both and Vauxhall works, a considerable number of men were em. played to work the engines, but the flames progressed very rapidly, extending their ravages to another apartment on .he ground floor, and after demolishing the glass in the windows, the fire communi cated to the liquor vats in the bar, which were then in imminent danger, as well as the upper part of the premises. The vast stream of water judiciously applied at this critical moment had the effect of arresting the violence of the flames, but it was cot until about an hour after the outbreak that the fire was completely extinguished. The result is that a considerable amount of pro perty is destroyed, and although the proprietor is insured in the Sun-office to the amount of '2,300/. for the stock and furniture, the greater part of the paintings are not included in the policy. The police arrangements, under Inspectors Stantiard and Ferguson, Were highly satisfactory. TEM LAI'S THOMAS HOOD.—We are informed that a local subscription was last week set on foot at Manchester by a few private gentlemen in aid of the fund now raising for the family of this distinguished writer; and that upwards of 100/, were collected in the first twe days. Contributions are still flow. trig in with a rapidity that well attests the liberality of Manchester, and the estimation in which literary genius is there held. It is probable that in the other great towns of Great Britain, subscrip tions for this excellent object, if started with equal spirit by ludividuals, would. be supported with similar liberality by the GRFAT MEETING OF THE ANT!-CORN-LAW LEAGUE AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A great metropolitan meeting of the members of the Anti Corn-law League was held last evening in Covent-garden Theatre. At half-post six o'clock the doors were opened, and by a quarter before seven there was not a seat in the theatre unoccupied. There were a great number of ladies in the boxes. Precisely at, seven o'clock George Wilson, Esq., chairman of the League, entered the theatre, and took the chair amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. He was accompa nied by R. Cobden, Esq., M.P.,; John Bright, Esq., M.P. ; and W. J. Fox, Esq., who were received with loud applause. Among those present, we observed George Wilson, Esq., in the Chair; Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., John Bright, Esq., 111.

The CHAIRMAw, having advanced to the table, proceeded to address the meeting as follows :-Ladies and Gentlemen,-It is no great novelty to see this place on these occasions filled to overflowing, but certainly looking at the appearance presented by every part of the House at this moment, I must confess that it has never before been my lot to behold a more brilliant as semblage than that which I have now the pleasure of seeing before me.-(Cheers.) It may naturally be expected that some allusion will be made this evening to those proceedings which have for a time superseded the necessity of our assem bling together here as usual. These our nocturnol meetings have only given place to another method, perhaps more rigr..e able, and certainly cqually gratifying, of disseminating the principles of free trade-I mean the Bazaar.-(Loud cheers.) There is not any necessity for me now to refer to the imme diate reason for holding it. It was no secret, twelve months ago, that the League had determined,for the purpose of meeting the contingent expenses of carrying on this agitation, as well as for the purpose of enabling the country generally to demon strate the interest which it felt in the cause of free trade and the abolition of all monopolies, to raise a fund of 100,000/. It is equally well known that from the first the ladies have at tended our meetings, and countenanced by their presence the greater portion of our public proceedings, and that at the time when great distress prevailed in the manufacturing districts ; and when we petitioned the Legislature on the subject the la dies memorialised her Majesty, beseeching her to look with an eye of compassion on the sufferings of the people, and in order to alleviate them to permit the corn then in bond to be de livered to them duty free. The signatures to this memorial were obtained by ladies, who canvassed them from door to door in the depth of a severe winter in the manufacturing districts.- (Cheers.) They did more. They held a Free-Trade Bazaar in Manchester by which they realized for the League the sum of 10,0001.-(Cheers)-and to show their unabated interest in the Anti-Corn-law movement they proposed to complete the 100,000/. by holding a bazaar in this theatre last year.- ( Cheers.) The baster last year was postponer for reasons into which it is now unnecessary to enter. It has been recently held in this theatre, and with what success I :shall presently aciow ( Cheers.) Now, as 1 have said before, it pecuniary contribu tions alone were what we had looked for, a bazaar would in alt probability have been the last thing to a power ful body like the League would have b •en wiling to commit itself-depending as it must necessarily do on such a variety ot circumstances. In the firs place we proposed to make it a national exhibition, and it was a national exhi4ition. -(Cheers. ) We received contributions from Shetland, a + one end of the Kingdom, and from Cornwall :it the dther (Cheer. )-and I think all those who had an opporitniit ) of seeing the bazaar will agree with me in sa ing that never has there been seen colleeted together in this country such a pro fusion of beautiful, ingeniously constructed, ant useful articles, the production of which reflected the greatest credit on the skill and industry of the working men of this country.-(-Loud cheering.) It is not my intention to enter into minute details respecting the peculiar circumstances of holding this, bazaar. I may however state, that in many districts of the country, from which it was difficult to furnish contributions of goods, small purses were sent, and from many other districts we received contributions, both in goods and money. Every county in England made some little acknowledgment, tor the purpose of manifesting the in terest which it felt in the progress of the free-trade cause.- (Loud cheers.) From Devonshire we received in money eon. tributions 41/. es. 9d., from sales 96/. 13s. Gd., making a total ot 1361. 3s. 9d. From Northamptonshire we received in money 1 71. 11 a. Gd, for sales 1241.

And notwithstanding this we have remaining by us as many contributions undisposed of as will furnish another Bazaar equal to any that has ever been held for any other purpose in this country.-( Cheers. ) But, ladies and geetlemen, there is a very gratifying feature in connexion with it. It is the conclusion of our exertions on account of the 100,0001. fund. We class the contributions and the fund of er this manner. On December the 31st, 1844, the public receipts in favour of the band arnouoted to 86,009/. 7s. 3d. Since received, 5,6321. ss. 2d. ; Bazaar, 25,046/. 10s. 11d., making a total of 116,6871. 13s. 4d. - ( Cneers ) It is not merely in a pecuniary senvi that we congratulate you on the re sults resented by the Bazaar. Freeu the first day visitors were admit'ed the daily numbers exceeded 5,000; from first to last 120,0: 0 persons were admitted. The Bazaar lasted 17 days, so that upwards of 7,000 must have been the daily average of visrtora -( Hear, and cheers.) The receipts per day ave raged more than 1,200/. The especial thanks of the friends of free trade are due to those alone oho at this jancture assisted in the completion of the League fund, and gave evidence to the country that an interest was felt in it which had never be n surpassed on other questions by the same class.-( Hear, hear. ) The moral effects of that demonstration are great and will be felt for many years to come. I have heard but one opinion ex pressed by those who visited it that they never in all their lives before saw so great a multi tude collected together who manif sled the same order and decorum as they observed during the time that they visited it. The contributions are more diffused throughout the country, doit.g your work, and when other things shall occur which may at pear more congenial to the taste of free traders, the simple relics of the result of the la bours of those who sent to the Bazaar shall be reading a quiet lesson in the dom.-stir circles for years to come. --t Hear, hear.) I have great pleasure in calling on Mr. Cobden.- (Loud cheering.) Mr. CoanitN came forward, and was received with the same hearty and unbounded demonstrations of applause which inva riably greet him in free-trade meetings-He said, Ladies and Gentlemen, I could not help thinking, as my friend the Chair man detailed to you those interesting and novel statistics, that I was following him at some disadvantage, inasmuch as I would have little chance of communicating to you anything so new or agreeable. He is just come from the north, where he has been making up his accounts. -( Laughter.) I have just come from a railway group, where I have been on the tread-wheel for the last three months, as much a prisoner as though I had been on Newgate, and with the disadvantage of feeling. conscious that I was in a place where more time was wasted than even in the distinguished House itself. Yet even under the roof of St. Stephen's something has of late passed of a very cheering cha racter. I think I may say, I bring good news from the House of Commons. --( Hear, hear.) It is not, alter all, such a bad place, especially for agitation.-( Hear.) Last yea r we made a little mistake at the beginning of the session-we laid our heads together, and came to the conclusion that we should employ ourselves better out of doors, in visiting some of the counties and agitating a little,-this year we changed our tac tics, and we think Parliament was, after all, the be s t pl ace f or agi tating.-( Laughter.) You speak with a loud voice when you speak on the floor of that House. You are he ar d a ll over the world, and, if you have anyth ing hard to say, it is a long whip the lash will reach over the kingdom.-(Cheers. ) We deter mined to confine ourselves to Parliament, and the result shoos that it was the best field for our labours. We there brought for ward a succession of motions ; we asked for a Committee to inquire into the nature of the corn-laws ;we challenged the protectionists to show us what benefits the corn had conferred ; they refused a committee of inquiry, and the country would rightly interpret their motives.--( Hear, hear. ) M r . B r i g ht, an active-minded man, looked about him and thought that of all the burdens on land none was greater than the game-laws, for t h e ga me, to a great extent, consumes t h e produce of the land. -( Hear, hear.) Lie felt anxious, if possible, to point out to the landowners how they could compen s ate the tenantry for the abolition of the corn-laws by the abolition of the guag-laws. 1 3;.L v rir ]ike~~ise rrx>.:: iercd z.o Le ~ u,tl a s-cond Mr. 1.

Lbjeet of Nu Mr. AGLIONBY bad never regretted his connexion with the New Zealand Company, which was composed of honourable and high-minded men, united together, for the purpose of carrying out a benevolent object. The complaints of the Gallant Officer who had last spoken, were all founded on misapprehension. Ile implored the Government to reconsider their policy, so as to promote the permanent interest of the colony. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. BARKLY, Sir H INGLIS, Mr. HAWES, Sir H. DOUGLAS, and Lord Howrca, after which, on the motion of Mr. MANGLES, the debate was adjourned. In our impression of Monday last we published, in juxta-position, two very remarkable announcements. The one, contained in a letter from our very flourishing settlement in the island of Hong-Kong in the China seas; the other from Lloyd's agent at Gibraltar. The former recorded a most signal instance of the sudden enlightenment of the Lord of the Celestial Empire in the true principles of trade and revenue; the latter con tained a whimsical exemplification of the suicidal despotism under which the Emperor of MOROCCO settles the "pro tective" and "prohibitory" duties that regulate the fo reign trade of his dominions. Both of them are well calculated to convey a salutary lesson to the framers of our own mercantile and fiscal legislation, not the less impressive because they travel from so remote regions of Asia and of Africa. After waging a war of extir mination against the " barbarian eyes," or foreign traders, who, in spite of all the Imperial edicts that his ancestors as well as himself have fulminated from time to time against such enormities—after incurring, in his zeal to put down the vicious custom, followed by a few millions of his subjects, of chewing opium, and to resent the in dignity put on the ineffable authority of his loftily worded proclamations by reckless smugglers, who still presumed to import the noxious drug into his dominions, because there was yet many more millions of Chinese of all ranks who would continue to smoke it—after in curring, we say, a memorable chastisement in the pur suit of these projects from the tremendous naval and military armaments of the distant Britons,—after con cluding peace in one of the most populous and important of his capitals with these invaders, and running no in considerable risk of losing his enormous empire—the largest in the globe—the Emperor of CHINA, who the other day would have thought it well lost for a success ful expulsion of opium from every corner of it, now " admits it openly in every one of his ports ;" allows it to be carried about the streets for sale ; and though some little remains of shame may yet prevent him from expressly authorising the trade in it, he con descended to draw from the reduced duty it paid on its enormously-increased consumption in the city of Canton alone, last year, a revenue of 250,000 dollars. From the thirty-eieht full cargoes known to have been dis posed of without molestation at Shang-hai, and the market which it is sure to find at Amoy, there is some probability that the imperial privy purse was benefited altogether by double that amount. Now, to us it seems a marvellous advance to have been made, within so short a time, in the true science of mercantile policy which is thus exhibited in the person of a descendant of these Mongol-Tartar Khans, who, exactly two hundred years ago (last year) overthrew the ancient native dynasty of China, and settled their own upon its " celestial" throne, as they somewhat arrogantly term it. He rules, it is said, over more than 300,000,000 of subjects, with that most searching of autocratic powers which is exercised by a despot to whom divine honours are paid daily, not only within the precincts of his palace, but throughout the length and breadth of his stupendous dominions. He might be to some extent excused if servile and habi tual homage of this kind had effectually extinguished the suggestions of common sense in his mind by the prejudices of education and of hereditary prece dents. But the EMPEROR has reasoned much better. A single man's appetite is more power ful than an Emperor's sceptre ; fur it wil urge him to deeds of desperation which imperial re wards will neither tempt a man into, nor compensate him for. But if twice a million of mankind, men and wo men, have a passion for intoxicating themselves in some cases, reasonably enjoying themselves in others, in others re-establishing their healths by the use—or the Ouses, as it may be—of opium, not even the earnest ness of a Chinese; conviction of imperial infallibility can persuade the Majesty of China, it seems, that he can successfully contend against the indulgetre of such an appetite. So he gives over his crusade against the smuggling trade which ministers to it. He breaks up his interminable establishment of mandarins, of blue buttons and white buttons, and one peacock's feather and three silk dragons ; his war junks, and his swift and many-oared rowboats, and his clumsy but pic turesque revenue cruisers of all denominations of colour, force, size, and ugliness He eschews the stately, but perilous folly of quarrelling a ith mighty kingdoms for the vindication of antiquated dogmas, or exploded errors in commercial polity. He foregoes the luxury of " mak ing examples " and of " striking terror into the hearts of offenders," by bastinadoing, bamboo•caging, or strangling any of those luckless ones among the more .tinter prising of his maritime lieges who may be caught rt - turning from the mouths of the Bogue with the transferred opium, and without the Sycee silver which has been paid for it. In short, since it is a commodity the demand for which he cannot control, and which must and will be satisfied somehow, and by somebody, the EMPEROR, like a very wise man, gives up the hopeless struggle ; eco nomises his revenue by putting down a most costly, use less, and vexatious portion of its machinery ; gratifies his subjects by allowing them to gratify their own tastes ; puts the foreign trader in perfect good humour, and puts an annual revenue of some 130,000/. sterling into his own private pocket by the transaction. Let us suppose all this done in res of corn, or sugar, tobacco, or in some country nearer home, of class into rests, and high prohibitory duties. Have we nothing to learn i❑ the oldest monarchies of Europe from the wise and sound example of the more ancient empire of China? But Morocco, more barbarous and " nearer home" than China, supplies us with the converse of this example. The more warlike but less statesmanlike Est- Puaoa of the old Mauritania, having all the elements of legitimate military empire about him (that is to say, dilapidated finances, decayed resources, large army esti mates to provide for, large establishments to be main tained, divided councils, a distracted people, a violated frontier, and exhausting aars upon his hands), this mo narch is compelled to make the usual sacrifices de manded by such a state of things. To supply for a sea son—for a moment, the inexorable necessities of perma nent and ruinous claims upon his coffers, he flies at all the trade he can grasp, on his coasts or within his pro vinces; at Mogadore or in Fez, at Tetuan or El Araiche. On whatever commodities or merchandise the spirit of commercial adventure brings within his reach, instead of encouraging their renewed investments by moderate and equitable imposts, and by dealing with them on terms prescribed by former conventions or lan guage, he has just attempted to lay strong hands, as it were, in order to squeeze violently out of them whatever can be presently obtained, at whatever future loss to his exchequer and his people. It seems, on the authority we have just quoted, that it has been deemed expedient—by the Board of Trade of Morocco — that the same rates are to be levied on all kinds of cotton and woollen piece goods, without reference to their re spective qualities, and the same system is to be observed also with regard to goods usually imported by weight, so that ss. or 21s. sterling will be charged in a quintal of copperas and other goods of very little value. This is abundantly foolish—barbarous, if you will ; but it strikes us that analogies may have existed to within a very recent period in the unwise legislation we have known to be doggedly pursued in respect of prohibitory duties on raw material, colonial, and other products, and foreign fabrics of indisputable importance to the comfort of a community more enlightened, more for midable, and certainly more patient than that of the em pire of Morocco. Accounts from Brussels of the 16th announce the re signation of all the Ministers. It appears that the elec tions, both in the capital and Antwerp, had gone de cidAly against the Government candidates, and eleven Liberals had been returned. These unexpected results had such an effect upon several of the members of the Cabinet, that a Council was summoned, and, after some delibra , tion, all gave in - their resignations. Baron D'HuART, Governor of Namur, and formerly Finance Minister, was immediately sent for, and intrusted with the formation of a new Ministry. The visit of the KING and QUEEN to England has in consequence been deferred. The Libe rals have reason to congratulate themselves on the down fal of this Ministry, which showed every disposition to consult the views of the bigoted Catholic party. Madrid journals of the 10. h have been receive& It is announced in several of them that the regulations for assessing and levying the new property-tax will be offi cially published in a few days. The law, it appears, is to have a retrospective effect, and Senor MON beats Mr. COURT CittCULAtt. Sir Robert Peel had an audience of the Queen yesterday at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the Royal gardens. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice wore taken their accustomed a;rings yesterday.

The Queen and Prince Albert inspected yesterday the newly finished proof line-engraving, by Greatback, of the Waterloo Banquet, from the picture painted by Mr. W. Salter. It con tains nearly ninety portraits of officers engaged in the battle, assembled to commemorate the event at the table of the Duke of Wellington, at Apsley House, and was submitted by Mr. Moon. Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by Prince Armand and the Princesses of Saxe Weimar, landed from the Batavier steam-packet from the Con tinent, at half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning.
