The Lords re• assembled last night after the Easter hol;de.ys ; and the instant they met they began that war whieli we hope to sec grow a little warm between the parties. Lord MLeeot;eNt has too long suffered himself to be snubbed by 'the Tories. They treat him almost like a child, and the honour of the whole Radical party is concerned in knowing that he is sensible of their conduct and prone to resent it. Lord ABERDEEN, borrowing the sentiments andlang,rnage of the f'or it is doubtful whether the worthy Thane have vigour enough to form sentiments of his own, schooled her Majesty's Ministers about not following a straight forward, manly, just, and honest course. Why this tirade? Because some explanations which have been obtained from .St. Petersburgh touching the "employMent of a Russiant agent in the East, and which Lord MEL BOURNE pronounced to be satisfactory, had. not been raid on the table. The reason because they could not be got ready. For this second-band kind of impertinence, . Lord MELBOURNE took the would-be Foreign Secretary properly to task and said his remarks were probably according to the peculiar courtesy and agreeable style of expression which prevailed in that House. Properly and justly said, and the Earl of ACERDEEN felt that it was so ; for he immediately professed the highest personal respect for Lord MELBOURNE. When nettles are firmly grasped they sting not ; and now that Lord MELBOURNE has been taught this by experience,we hope he will continue to act in the same way. The Tory Lords have a rotten cause, and a brave bold heart would soon bring them to submission. If Lord MELBOURNE proceed, as he last night commenced, the end of the Session will be for him more pleasing than its beginning. The R. - fort concerning the Hand-loom 'Weavers was laid before their Lordships, who immediately adjourned. Vknion3 petitions were presented in the Commons, and a , l:orig.-:t them several from p'aces in Ireland, expressing confidence in the Government, and praising its policy as to that country. • Sir GEORGE CLERK, who is naturally anxious about Tory monopolies, inquired whether the Ministers were f prepared with a measure to regulate the printing of the Scriptures in Scotland, as the patent of the Queen's Printer would expire on July 17, when any person (why should he not ?) might print a Bible in Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE, we are bappy to see, stated that the Government did not mean to renew the patent, but had prepared a Bill to regulate the matter. The LORD ADVOCATE afterwards moved for and ob tain:•d leave to bring in two Bills, one to ascertain and &floe tL'e right of voting for Members of Parliament in Scotland, and the other for the better registration of Parliamentary electors. We shall decline m entering into many of the details of these Bills till we see them in print ; but we pay at once observe that it is a rceornmendAtion of them that Lord STANLEY spoke against. them. Fictitious votes are a great et, it in Scotland, and to check them the LORD 4AiVOCATE is to make it incumbent on joint tenants to prove a true interest in the joint tenantcy. To correct the evils of registration, he proposes to esta lill,h a Court of Appeal, to consist of three Judges. To Correct the evil of non-resident voters, he means to make residence necessary, to the exercise of the fran chise. So it ought to be. Why should a land owcer have balf-a-dozen votes, for different counties, Mid a resident in a borough, however opulent, only one ? shall not venture to offer an opinion on such corn- Plieatedmelisures, but they practically give a contradic tion to Lord JOHN RUSSELCS theory of the finality of th, Reform Act. It is not fin 1 for Scotland, and c l annot he for E'nglancl. PerharT'the Ministers mean thi7ss fills to give an earnest to their supporters of their good intentions. POULETT TitomsoW obtained the appointment of a &Act Committee to inquire into Railways. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL received leave to bring in a Ti li to amend the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, Act. • . At a ‘ely early hour the 1-Lwie adjourned. They never neglected the interests of commerce ; and if there have been occasions when they omitted to hold language with regard to Russia which m'ght have had the effect of checking the aggress:v.: movements of that Power, the blame is attributable not to them, but to the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department. We repeat that these promotions are highly creditable to the Govern ment, useful by their example to the public ser vice, honourable to the distinguished persons so elevated, and well calculated to restore popularity :o the Peerage. The Reports of Mr. SYMONS and Mr. HARD ING, two Assistant Hand-loom Weavers' Commis sioners, have just been published by the House of Commons, and some of the information they con tain we shall proceed to lay heroic our readers. It seems that a considerable portion of the weavers ate capitalists, and probably they are suffering from that competion which Sir ROBERT PEEL said was ruining .the smaller capitalists. Out of 9,085 rooms in Glasgow 2,876 are used by heads of families, to whom they belong ; and such people, combining profit with ought to be able to obtain a living. Spe cimens of their earnings are given, as follows :—A man, his wife, and four children, one of which did not labour, get 235. per week, or 3s. 10d. per bead. A min, his wife, and five children, with three of the latter not , working, earned 16s. 2d. per week, or 2s. 3 5-7 d. each person. Another family, con sistinz of a men, his wife, and two children, 7s. lid. per week, or is. 1144. for each person. A fourth family of a man, his wife, and five children, only one of which worked, gained only 7s. 2d., or Is. - 0 2-7 d. each person per week. The first and the last cases are said to be extreme cases, and the two middle cases are a nearer representation of the aye ; rage. With such small rewards for working 70 hours in the week, while there are great numbers who live in comparative opulence, doing nothing, it ought not to . he surprising that the people ge nerally should prefer idleness to such excessive labour. Besides weaving the families are variously occupied, and particularly by winding, by which the women can earn 2s. 6d. per week. We cre glad to see that these men can adapt themselves to other work. At Mauchline they have become manufacturers of snuff-boxes Lat Langham they have become agriculturists ; while at Hawick the agricultural labourers arc becoming weavers in consequence of the rapid growth and healthfulness of the eastern woollen trade. The change of employment, then, is not difficult. \Ve are told, too, that a comparatively slight variation in point of number has been caused by the power-loom, .owing chiefly to the fineness of of the staple fabrics woven in the Scottish hand looms. Old men have lost business in the coare calicoes, in consequence of the power-loom, but its effect has been inconsiderable. It may be expected that the food of these people is of a coarse description, and deficient in quality. Their furniture is, in most cases, scanty ; their beds are of straw and their clothing not so good as common dly labourers, either Scotland or England ; articles of massive furniture, the relics of former days, are sometimes treasured up, and the contrast between their present condition and their past corn fort is, by the old people, more bitterly felt than their actual destitution. They formerly ranked higher than other classes in the social scale, and the intelligence and education which enhanced their prosperity now renders their poverty more poignant. Yet these people, in many cases sturdily honest, battle with the most extreme destitution, with sick ness and grief, rather than receive relief, and set an example worthy of the imitation of the titled and the opulent classes, who submit to dependence and slavery, to get a pension or an alms, rather than forego some useless but fashionable luxuries. As might be expected, from the decay of this numerous class, their children are not so well educated as those of former generations. Attendance at places of public worship, too, is frequently neglected, and the reason assigned is want of decent clothing. The younger classes are represented in all respects as worse than the seniors, 'and growing up in vice and savageness. The book societies, which the weavers formerly supported, are gone to decay, and books on science and philosophy are said to be excluded from their dwellings. At the same time that poverty and vice are making such strides amongst this part of our industrious population, discontent is glowing up to a fearful height. On them the example set by their supe riors will not be lost, and Mr. SYMONS solemnly affirms " that the:e are elements in the minds of the ariizan-millions in the North which no Govern ment can contemplate with indifference, or disre gard with. impunity." The testimony borne to the police of Glasgow, is remarkable, both as to its moral and its material effects. Mr. 'SYMONs penetrated, accompanied by the superintendent and five unarmed-men, into the centre of a savage and desperate population of at least 7,000 persons, and a housebreaker was coolly ordered, and coolly obeyed, to follow the officer to a place of security. The calm ness of the proceeding, is said to have been singularly impressive. At the same time a part of Glasgow is describeil as containing a larger amount of filth, crime, misery, and disease than any one spot in any civilized country. No thing can be compared to the wynds of Glasgow. Penury, dirt, misery, drunkenness, disease, and crime culminate in Glasgow, it is said, to a pitch unparalleled in Great - Britain. Every minute investigation of this kind into the con dition of our population, whether it be made in Scotland, .England, or Ireland, for the purpose of relieving distress, or remedying a police disorder— whether it pry chiefly into the condition of the agricultural or the manufacturing popula tion--whether it be undertaken by Poor-law Commissioners, Hand-loom Commissioners, or Constabulary Commissioners, reveals to us masses of squalid misery, destitution, and crime, which the heart sickens to contemplate. Whe ther the Church, or the Kirk, or the Catholic Chapel be predominant —whether the squire or the mill-owner be the lord of the people, and in some sense responsible for their condition, disgusting ignorance, half famished neglect, and savage dis content amongst the great multitude—" the life blood of the community"—demonstrate the exist ence of some horrible faults or crimes in our civil and religious polity. In another part of The Sun, we insert a letter explaining in few but emphatic words, the zeal of the landlords for the Corn-laws. The Earl of COVENTRY presided at a public meeting, six weeks ago, as " the Farmer's Friend," and a Correspondent informs us that he now gives his tenants notice that they must pay an increase of ten per cent. on their rent or quit. Already the rent o4he laud belonging to the Noble Lord is twice or ttiN more than it was forty years ago, but this does not suffice, and he must have an additional sum of ten per cent. Ten per cent. on their rent therefore, the present sum for which the latiOlords barter their honour, their honesty, arid, inftliese perilous times, the affections of the people. For'-'an expected ten per cent. on their rent-roll, they sacrifice the manufacturing superiority of the nation, and consign masses of the popula tion to hunger and destitution. For this paltry ten per cent. the natural payment o f rent is converted into a tax, and the law-making landlords become the exemplars and patrons of peculation, theft, and robbery. The farmers, as our Correspondent says, obtain no benefit from the Corn-laws. The rise of rent is certain, apparently as certain as death ; the rise of price is only contingent ; and, because people seek out substitutes or limit their consumption as prices increase, it never takes place propor tionably to the rise of rent. The ten per cent., therefore, the paltry ten per cent., which is expected to go into the landlords' pocket, is the source of all the misery inflicted on the nation by the landlords Corn-laws. We have great - pleasure in announcing that her MAJEsTi'3 Government have recommended the elevation of his Excellency Sir FREDERICK LAmz, our Ambassador at Vienna, to the Peer age, I,y the title of Baron B r UVALE, and the prornation of Lord PoNSONBY, our Ambassador at the Porte, to the dignity of a Viscountcy. These, promotions will be the more agreeable to the countrF, as t h ey are i nten d e d to mark the high appreciation of the labours of these distinguished diplunviiiits in establishing commercial treaties be tl7m Great B r it a i n an d th e empires of Austria and Turkey respectively. Were Ministers, in making promotions to the Peerage, always to have regard to the public services of the persons so ho poured, *the 1 - lcUse . of Lords would soon recover that public . coatidence without which it is impos sible far it low* to exist as an independent, co equal estate of the Imp er i a l Legislature. Sir FRE DERICK and Lord PONSONB; have A ren dered most I nporant and invaluable services to their country, during toe period of their diplomatic 2repr, at th e Courts of Vienna and Constantinople. In the Report of the Constabulary Commis sioners just published, there is this remarkable passage, speaking of the general causes of depreda tion, of vagrancy, and mendicancy, "We find that in scarcely any cases is it ascribable to the pressure of unavoidable want or destitution ; and that in the great mass of cases it arises from the temptation of obtaining property with a less degree of labour than by regular industry." The people get more by pil ferin,c, than b' honest industry, and so they pilfer. In this they only follow the landlords' example. The only difference is that the rogues who are pun i s h e d by the law, pilfer in opposition to it, while the more cunning men of land pilfer by its means and under its protection. On Monday we drew attention to the great THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1839 decrease which has taken place in capital execu tions in this country, and in • capital offences, which decrease proves a gradual abatethent, in the progress of society, of all those hateful pas sions which lead to violent crimes. A similar fact has been observed in all other countries . ; but while this natural progress in humanity is going on, and forcing the law-maker to humanize his sanguinary eractments, the number of offences against pro perty .is continually _ increasing.. We have shown in this Journal that they have almost quadrupled since the Corn-laws were enacted in 1815, and at the present time, say the above named 'Commissioners, ." there is an average of upwards of 100,000 commitments annually to the gaols of the able-bodied population of England and Wales for criminal offences ; and there are from 11,000 to 20,000 persons constantly in the criminal gaols, of which number a large propor tion are -persons known as living wholly by habitual depredation." How admirably descriptive of the landlords—living by habitual depredation ! To the number of criminals in gaols, therefore, we must add the thirtV odd thousand landlords who are at large, if we wish to have an approxiniative notion of the peCulation annually carried on in this most vir tuous, well-governed, well-taught society—at least we pay enormously for moral teaching. That would, however, be only an approximative notion, for other classes, who share in the spoil, while they pretend to teach mankind their duties, ought to be included. After getting a glimpse cf the important fact, that theft is systematically carried on by and through the name of the law, we cease to be sur prised at the number of criminals in our gaols, or that thieving has so rapidly increased, while crimes of violence have undergone so great a dimi nution. We are now a nation of peculators and thieves, and the evil is mainly caused by the system adopted by the legislating classes of plun dering the others by means of Corn -laws and other similar laws •• almost equally iniquitous. To the clergy, who should teach the lawmakers better, and to the law-makers, who should ;mprove instead of corrupting- the people, the increase of theft is a great scandal ; though depredations on property will ever diminish till they set the example of respecting e property of others. . Let not the friends of - civil and religious liberty be disheartened by the infamous proceedings at the Cornwall Assizes,which we on Wednesday laid before the public. On the contrary, let every advoc'ite of the abolition of Church-rates rejoice that the cause which he upholds—the sacred cause of conscience and of justice—has received a signal benefit from the very means adopted to crush it. The priest ridden slaves of a State Church may plume them selves on the successful issue of their unprincipled machinations ; they may congratulate themselves on a temporary triumph over their opponents ; but they will soon have cause •to lament in bit terness of heart the consequences of the atrocious means through which it has been obtained. Reli gious p: , rsecution, in its best estate, is no very amiable object of contemplation, but when its sting is supplied with venom from the bench of justice it assumes its most revolting aspect. The right thinking portion of the community cannot fail to be alarmed as well as disgusted when they see a Judge forgetting the obligation under which he lies to hold the scales with an impartial hand, forgetting the unspeakable importance of the purity of the judicial character to the effectual administration of the laws, and lending himself to the fur therance of a plot concocted by a base and factious clique. The best friends of the church will feel that if Church-rates arc to be supported by the testimony of false witnesses, and the conni vance of partial Judges, the sooner they go the better. As to the Dissenters, if they do not rouse themselves after this gross attack upon the n—if there is a drop of blood in their veins which does not rise in rebellion against this last and most ag gravated of all the instances of oppression to which they have been so long subjected, we say without hesitation that they will richly deserve all the insult and all the injury that their persecu tors can heap upon them. To trust any longer to the aid of Societies or Governments, they ought by this time to know, is to trust to a broken reed. They must work out their own satvatiOn. If they wish to_get rid of priestly tyranny, they must them selves grapple with the priest. The first • thing to be done, however—the first duty which devolves upon those who disapprove of the iniquitous course which has been pursued to wards the persecuted men of Truro, is to hold public meetings for the purpose of passing resolutions ex pressive of sympathy with them in their suffer ings for conscience sake, and of getting up petitions to the Home Secretary for a remission of their unjust sentence. The Liberals of Truro, as would be seen by: the report in our Wednesday's paper, have furnished an excellent model for such proceedings. Let their spirited example be gene ' rally followed, and a new impetus will be given to the cause of abolition. --- If any of our readers should desire to know whe and what this justice GURNEY is, who, as the Report states, " scouted the idea of an opposition to Church-rates, arising from conscientious scru ples," we beg to inform them that he was, not many years ago, a staunch Dissenter and a professed Ultra-Liberal. He was was a member of the con gregation of which the late Dr. ABRAHAM REEs was minister, and for many a day never held a brief but what he got through Dissenting in fluence. As he got on in the world, he pew remiss in his attendance at chapel, and at last, like so many other time-servers whose only - guiding principle is self-interest, glided quietly and softly into the bosom of the Church. In the effer vescence of his pseudo-zeal for liberty, he chris tened one of his sons HANI rn EN, another ALGERNON, and, if we are not mistaken, a third either SYDNEY or RUSSELL. He is not a man of any ability, but what he wants in talent he makes up in gravity. The physiogno my of Minerva's favourite bird is absolutely a joke to that of Mr. Justice GURNEY. Since the commencement of the war in Spain, the Journal des Debals has been in the habit— before the opening of the spring campaign—of passing in review the past fortunes and future pro spects of the belligerents ; occasionally indicating the impression made by particular acts, or the adop tion of changes of system, upon the French Go vernment. In pursuance of this habit, the Journal des Debals of Tuesday coLtains a long, and gene rally interesting, article on the new aspect imparted to Spanish affairs by the accession of MAROTO to the supreme power in the Carlist camp, which we propose quoting paragraph by paragraph, in order that we may interweave with it our own impressions upon the subject. • The article in the Debats thus commences:— • ." CARLos, whom he claimed the merit'of delivering 1 from all but certain destruction. The PRE- ONDER acquiesced in this,' knowing it to I be an arrant falsehood. For MAROTO to , have pretended that he was the sole object of such I a conspiracy, would have exposed him to the ridi cule of the whole army, as the officers whom he caused to be murdered could easily have effected his dekruction without conspiring, had they ever en tertained such - an atrocious design. The mur derers of the Emperor PAUL of 'llussia might as tidy have, alleged that their victims bad entered into a conspiracy against the life of a Siberian con ,vict, as 'that the whole Court of Don CARLOS conspired to assassinate General MARoTo. And it is from this very fact that the success of MARol'o derives all the public interest which the Debals attaches to it ; inasmuch as it de monstrates that DON CARLOS has no personal influence—that he is a mere cipher—without power, without respect, without the force of at tachments to his person, and without faculties to sustain the dignity of his assumed position. MA- ItoTo's success was a virtualdepo3ition of C A nims. But those who seek to justify the massacre of the Carlist officers by MA ROTO on the ground of self-defence, ask what other motive he could have for putting to death these particular persons. We will tell them. He wanted power, and he could only obtain it by executing the will, not of DON CARLOs, but of hi s i n human Consort the Princess of BEIRA. MA ROTO was but an instrument in her hands. We stated on a former occasion that she was at the bottom of this atrocious affair. The Debats thus allnd.,s to it : A , nongst the circumstances and the causes r,f this intes tine revolution, there were, as in ail great aflairs, some trifling ones. It is affirmed that the wife of Don Carlos the Princess cf Beira, had discovered that her husband had a mistress, for a long time concealed from ail eyes by the care of Teijeiro, the valet de rhombic. It was to drive away the•Teijeiros and her rival that she communicated to Maroto the plot which was weaving against him. The circumstance has easily explained the adhesion of the Princess area of her sun, the Infante Don Sebastian, to thr coup d'etat of Maroto, as well as the resignation of Don Carlos ha submitting to such an opprobrium. Could he hold out • against his wife and his General reveltr ' e at one time? This Prince then displayed the extent of his unhappy genius. Ile is definitively rnede known, notwith standing- all the efforts which may henceforth be made to raise him a little in the eyes of Europe. Here we have not an incidental cause of these massacres, but the sole and entire occasion of them. Tice object of the sanguinary plot was to get rid of a rival in the management of a petticoat-governed despot. So much for the morality of the Royal husband, and the tender humanity of his equally illustrious consort! We proceed with the extracts :-- The overthrow of the Carlist Apostolic party has already produced some beneficial results—the interdiction of com municating with the constitutional towns has beep taken off. Poor peasants and girls are no longer shot for having brought a few vegetables to market. .This has had a mo rneetary cessation. Several exchanges have been made; one particularly, near Vittoria, was very characteristic. The Carlist prisoners had been conducted by two compa nies of the Nrittolia garrison, not the troops of the line, but by the n'acionales, or militia, so abhorred by the Carlists. Well, Oct - eaves great geed feeling displayed in this meeting of the provincial ,oldiers of the opposed armies. They mutu ally congratulated each ether on the fall of t h e Apostolicals, and drank to a speedy peace. Hitherto, each party looking upon the other as rebels, there was no possible arrangement but death or submission —but this is changed. There will doubtless be a great deal more fighting, but they will fight more like Christians than savages. - Maroto's ferocious energy, his sanguinary coup d'etat, prod u ced a great sensation. We do not believe that Ma roto has. any fixed plan, or that he is in communication with the Constitutionals, because though very powerful, he is not sufficiently master of his party to do with them just as he pleases; but peace is now ardently desired by all Spain. And Maroto has it in his power to become the pacificator of his country, and put an end to this sanguinary contest; and this assuredly will happen sooner or later; and hence has arisen all the conjectures (riven as approaching realities. A marriage is spoken of between' one of Don Carlos's sons and the young Queen Isabella 11., and the second son is preferred, as the elder is in bad health. Others are in favour of Don Francisco's eldest son, and this opinion gains ground among the Constitutionals. An Archduke of Austria has even been spoken of. As for Don Carlos, even his own army would not crown him. Of course these marriages are without foundation, as no negociations have as yet been matured, though they have been under the. direction of Zea Bermudez, who was one of the principal executors of Ferdinand the Seventh's will in favour of his daughter, who was the Queen Re g ent's first Prime MI-. 'lis t er, and who is attached to no cause. Vague and con. tradictory projects have been attributed to him, but at all events all this shows that peace is beginning to be waiver sally wished for by the Spaniards. The writer goes on to show that tire only enemy to peace at present in the Carlist ranks is CABRERA, the idol of CARLOS and the mortal foe of MA ROTO, though fighting under the same banner. Over this miscreant MA ItoTo must obtain an as cendancy prior to giving repose to Spain. Such is the article with which the Debats pre faces a record of the events during the subsequent campaign. Its tendency is to show that the mili tary ardour of the Spaniards is worn out, and that the people want only a decent pretext for throwing aside their arms, and forgetting the feuds by which they are led to imbrue their hands in each other's blood-- Wherefore has the Debats 'not had the honesty to recommend to the Governments of France and England the humane and honourable office of umpires for the amicable adjustment of this deplorable contest ? Were M. THitrts Foreign Minister, it would not stop short at the most important point in the history of the civil war now desolating the Peninsula—as if it wrote merely to chronicle Spanish gossip. It would be careful to remind Frenchmen that there was such a treaty in existence as that of the Quadruple Alliance ; it would point out its provisions in a spirit o f good faith ; and it would show that the time had arrivei when it behoved the Governments of Eng land and France to execute it in such a way as to give to Spain- that peace for which Carlists and Christinos were yearning, and which mi g ht yet pre serve some remnants of the virtues of an exhausted and nearly desperate population. But the culpable silence of the Journal des Debats should not be allowed to influence the conduct of the more inde pendent Press of this country. The season • for direct interference in Spain is again propitious, and we trust that our Government will not suffer it to pass away without seeing what may be done to put an end to a system of warfare ruinous to the Penin sula, and dangerous to the peace of Europe. licy, could be so appropriately given the title of " peacemakers." Would that w•e could say the same of their home policy, or give even negative praise, in place of being compelled to admit that they have, by an untoward, irritating, and all but insulting system, .alienated friends, without recon ciling one enemy. It is stated on 'Change to-day that the London Conference has fixed Monday next for definitely signing the Treaty between Holland and Belgium, When the acquiescence of the principals thereunto wiil be insisted upon. The Belgian Government is greatly to blame in sacrificing, by delay, the trt.e interests of the country to the prospect of obtaining an ephemeral popularity, to which, in truth, it can have no honest pretensions. The delay is a trick, and a dishonest, contemptible trick besides. The French Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Wednesday, with the question of controverted elections, and though the attendance of Members was not .so crowded asduriag the previous sittings, the determination of the Cliambei to persevere in exposing the corruption of the late Cabinet was not less strongly manifested. The principal speakers were MM. DUPIN, PISCATORY, °DIL LON BARRUT, CUNIN GRIDAINE, LACAVE, LAPLANGE, DUFAURE, GIIIOD (de rikine) MARTIN (du Nerd), and JAUBERT ; and the subj,xt of debate, the corrupt ;nflutnce exercised by Admiral RosAmEr. (now made a Pecr) over the electoral constituency of Ambert, This is a new ground of attack against the late Cabinet, and one for which the members were evi dently not prepared. Against a motion for Par liamentary ILquirv, they have nothing to oppose but the threatened terrors of another Revolution. This is virtually admitting concession to an extent altogether unpardonable. On the question of the Ministry, we find no new fact—no rumoured fresh combination of persons or parties, in the French Journals. •'The delay, how ever, is daily producing appearances more unpropi tious for the KING. The hostility to the MOLE administration increases with the increase of public discontent. To such an extent has this hostility been recently manifested, that the appointment of a Cabinet from the chiefs of that pasty, has become an utter impossibility. Thcrt is no domestic news of interest in the French Journals. The following extracts from them include the latest accounts from the Spanish 'rontiers It is stated that there is an intention to recall Marshal Vallee from Algiers, and two candidates for the governor ship of that colony are put forward by the opposition Prints—namely, General Cubieres (acting Minister of War), and General Bugeaud, the negotiator of the tre - Ay of Tacna. A resumption of the hostilities with Abd el- Rader is convidered imminent. Vienna correspondent of the France, quoting letters from the Russian frontiers, states that, early in May, three corps, comprising thirty-six regiments of infantry, twelve of cavalry, and twelve derni-brigades of artillery, making a force of 110,000 men, and 318 guns, arc to he assembled near Kiew ; and that Marshal Paskevirch is cx p, cted there to review them, and take the command. Great stores bare been provided, and twenty regiments of Don Cossacks haVe been sent for to act as light troops. Lieutenant-General the Prince of Hesse has been ap pointed Governor of Luxemburg, which was vacant since the death of the Prince of Hesse Elomberg. Our Correspondent at Bayonne writes to us under the dare of the 6th, that the nomination of M. de Montebello, has given fresh hope to the Carlists, while the Consti tutionalists were looking forward to the formation of a Liberal Ministry as likely to give more effectual support to their cause, and to lead to a speedy solution. Tho Carlist exiles at Toulouse and Bayonne are in triguing, and have opened a correspondence with Cabrera, and the Count d'Espagne. The Journals of the Frontier announces that nineteen English soldiers, who formerly belonged to the Legion of General Evans have just deserted from the ranks of Don Carlos, and have arrived at Bayonne. The Governor of Bilboa is on an expedition which he undertook on the night of the 29th—attacked a detach ment of Carlists in the village of Sodupe. After a spi rited resistance the Christinos made twenty-eight prisoners, among whom are a colonel, sixteen officers, a priest, and the well-known Calditay Huchito, the first who raised the standard of revolt at Bilbao. A story goes at Bayonne that the Cure Echevarria, having learned on the 231 of February in the morning all that was preparing for the next day, hastened to the Pie tender, and the following dialogue took place. " All is over (it is Don Carlos that speaks) and Moroto was right in causing Garcia and the others to be shot ; they were traitors, they had violated the military laws." " But, Sire," replied Echevarria, " what is to become of all of U 3, who are faithful servants of your Majesty ? " " I see no hope for you ; Moroto is master . - has the power in his hands, but I will intereede withhim for you." " Ah, Sire, I will never suffer any King to demean - himself to solicit my pardon from one of his subjects, and I shall find means to secure myself against his pursuit, even should I be obliged fo use my dagger against any one who should attempt to arrest me. Adieu, Sire, I shall go and seek an asylum in France." Echevarria, it is said, left the Pre tender, and immediately quitted Villa Franca, where the Carlist head-quarters whereat that time.—Private corres pondence of the Constitutionnel.

The demand for Cotton t ,clay has been to a considerable extont, and an advance of fully a per cent. on Tuesday's quotations has been realized. The sales reached 7,000 bales, including 1,000 Surat and 1,00 American on speculation. According to the American Papers, arrived at Havre. to the 10th March, they state from New Orleans of the 7th March, that a report prevailed there that negotiations bad commenced between the,Presidelet of Texas and General Urrea to form a federal coalition between the Mexicans and Texians. According to the project, 2,000 Texians were to join the army of General Urrea, to overthrow the present Government of Mexico. The above papers also state that at the interview which was take place between General Scott and Lieutenant Governor Sir . John Harvey, there will be established a basis for the mutual occupation of the contested territory. Arrivals this morning—French mail, and one from Ostend. Ship levers from Jamaica, Teneriffe, and Bahia. We have received the Antwerp Papers of yesterday's date, the 11th of April. The above papers state "We read in the Handelsblad Brussels Correspondence a piece of news which will cause great excitement to the Belgian Government —it is the determination taken by Europe to raze to the ground the Belgian fortresses.

By accounts this morning from Manchester it appears that there seas rather more demand on Tuesday for yarn than on the preceding Tuesday, but the slight advance in cotton at Liverpool on Monday, had no effect. upon prices there, and the buyers were supplied at the rates of the past week. In goods, also, there was a little more business doing, but without improvement in prices. It is stated in the French Papers by the late arrival at Havre from New York of the 16th ult., that Mr. Wood bury is the Special Minister appointed to be sent to Eng land to n gotiate the settlement of the boundary line, and that the Constitution frigate was preparing to carry him him to this country. It etas also stated in several re ports of the debates in Congress, that Mr. Webster, in addressing the -.Assembly on this subject, declared that if England did not settle the question before the 4th of July next, the disputed territory should be seized by the United States.

The British Funds have turned rather heavy since the early part of the morning, owing as stated to the tail of the accounts still remaining to be settled, also that money is in demand in the House. To the present hour we have no intelligence to depress the market. The passengers who arrived in the Louis Philippe at Havre from New York are doubtful of the appointment of Mr. Woodbury coming to England for the settlement of the Maine question. Several of these gentlemen have. arrived in London, and state that nothing certain was known on the subject when they left New York, nor was it credited there. We have seen a Richmond paper of the 9th March, which states the following from the .Nerfolk Beacon : " NAVAL—The United States ship, Constitution, .Com mander Claxton, fitting out at the Navy yard, destined for the Ncitle, is, we learn, in such a state of forwardness, that she will drop down to the Naval anchorage in a few days, to await the arrival of her crew." VERA CRUZ, FEB. 7.—Santa Anna, by a process, it is said, not unprecedented in his political career, has suddenly declared for peace, and.says the Government can accept the plan proposed by Mr. Pakenham ; they have his ap proval; he has started for Mexico.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVEN ING.-- It being known on Monday last that the Westchester, Captain Ferris, had arrived off Holyhead in rather a da maged condition, some interest was excited to know the cause, as well as to obtain the intelligence from the United States, which she was expected to bring. Her coming up was very tedious, and she did not enter the river until this afternoon. The Westchester, though not one of the re gular liners, is a very fine vessel, taken up by the owners of the St. Andrew, which was wreaked here in January last. She left New York on the 14th ult., and has'consequently been twenty-seven days on her pas sage. For the first nine days she had a southerly wind, which drove her off the banks of Newfoundland; here, on the 24th she experienced a heavy gate from the westward, and the vessel being under reefed topsails, the weather ver) hazy, she struck with great violence upon an iceberg, which carried away her bowsprit, figure-head, and cut water, and opened her stern so much that upon trying the pumps she was found to make much water. By this dreadful concussion three men were killed and a fourth severely wounded. The vessel after this ran through ice for about four miles, which frequently mounted up to her hulwat ks ; the wind shortly afterwards increased to a gale from the westward, and continued for four days. During this time the vessel lay to ; and it being deemed advisable to lighten her, 200 bags of cotton, and nearly 500 chests of tea, were thrown overboard. The pumps were kept incessantly at work, chiefly by the steerage passengers, until she entered the Mersey, the port of her destination, but which all en board bad feared she would never reach. HONEST WEARDALE.—It is a fact no less re markable, than creditable to the inhabitants of Upper Weardale, that they have not troubled our Courts of Jus tice with a single felon for the last fifty years. In the year 1788, the Methodists established a public library at Westgate, which in 1605 contained but 80 volumes, and had no more than six reading members. At present, the library contains 600 volumes of useful books, and has about 80 members, a very large proportion of whom are poor miners. A house has recently been purchased at West gate, for a News-room and Library; to pay for which, a subscription has been opened among the landed proprietors of the dist) ica, and others interested in the welfare of its honest and intellectual inhabitants. The wealthy Rector of Stanhope has been applied to for assistance,—with what result, «e have yet to learn.— Sue -ferland Herald. BAILIFFS IN A SCRAPE.—At the police office, Bury, on Thursday, four bailiffs, named John Booth, William Nuthall, William Leach, and James Perrill, were brought up under a warrant, fur having unlawfully taken a gun, value six guineas, the property of Mr. Joseph As pinall, of Little Hill, Pilkington. Mrs. Aspinall stated ; that on Thursday week the four prisoners, and another man not present, came to her husband's house, and said they had an execution against her brother, Francis Richard son. She informed them that he did not live there, and that there was nothing belonging to him on the premises. They, however, persisted in searching the premises, and ultimately took away the gun, the property of her hus band. She told them it was Mr. Aspinall's, and was marked with his initials. Other evidence was brought forward to support the case, and the prisoners were coin mitted for trial at the sessions for a misdemeanour —,-Man. cheater Times. ILLEGAL FISHING IN THE THANIES.—_A Brentford fisherman was on Tuesday fined 51. and costs by the local magistrates for having caught dace and gudgeons out of season. The charge was made at the instance of the Themes Angling Preservation Society. One of the magistrates ( Mr. Pownall) said there was an old fishermen yet at Brentford who recollected a haul of thirty-six sal mon between Old Brantford arid Isleworth.

The war in Spain presents itself under a new aspect, since the coup d'etat of Maroto against the Court of Don Carlos. A new series of events is opened, and great po litical and military projects are attributed to the Carlist General. It becomes, then, necessary to point out the state of things, and to weigh the probabilities of peace, and of the compromise of which so much is now spoken between the two parties; a hope which may yet not be realised, but which denotes a foregone conclusion as to the desire of repose universally felt by the unhappy Spanish population. It will be necessary first to explain the coup d'etat of Maroto, the origin of this new phasic in affairs. The six Generals and Colonels shot at Estella, the twenty ecclesiastical, military, and civil persons exiled to France, were of the Apostolical party and pure abzolutists, the with d h e i a s r k es n t nw fa le v d o g ur e it t e of Don Carlos. n s deprivemarntn; They inlent conspired lyefhiscom mand, to throw him into prison, and to condemn him for some imaginary crime. Maroto foresaw their designs, and treated them as they would have treated him self. The chief of this party was Don Jose Arias Teijeiro, of Portuguese origin, cousin of a valet de chambre of Don Carlos, and who had been made first Minister by Don Carlos. It is known that in the first instance Don Citrlos fulminated a terrible proclamation against Maroto, de claring him traitor, and putting him out of the pale of the law. It is also known that the Carlist General paid no attention to it—that, apparently directing his march to wards Pampeluna, he made a sudden detour, and marching firmly against the Court of the Pretender, he forced this Prince to seek him at his head-quarters at Tolosa, where he made him submit to very hard conditions. The shame ful recantation of Don Carlos, and the counter-proclama tion which he signed, approving of the execution of his most devoted adherents, may be re membered on awaythatoechai-s occa sion. Maroto made him subsequently send. Ministers, his principal confessor, his confidential agents, and all his favourites. Maroto placed in their stead men of his opinion, and the Carlist Court as well as the Government underwent a complete transformation. Our opinion of the sanguinary conduct of MAROTO is already before the public. As to the conspiracy alleged to be formed against his life, and which he only prevented by the massacre of the six Carlist officers, we do not believe one syllable of it, in fact it refutes itself. According to the Pthrrical'ilieafti°pnersvro.l ii ich he age conspired espaddressedred against to t a D r m e y, e The Belgian and Dutch question that at one time seriously threatened the peace of Europe, is new reduced within such narrow limits by the con sent of the Great Powers, that though the final settlement may be delayed for a short period, no one has the slightest doubt or anxiety about the result. The opponents of Lord PALMERSTON'S policy—=those that praised the obstinacy of the Dutch King, and tried to laugh to scorn the peace ful diplomacy (or, as they.called it, the protocol ling policy of the Foreign Minister,) are now re duced to a sad dilemma. They shun the very use of the word " protocol."I is associated wi t h painful recollections, and with awful prophecies of war, which succeeding, events have utterly falsified. Some eight years ago Lord ASHBURToN expresied . his conviction that the Noble Lord and his col leagues would not be able to preserve the peace of Europe for six months. It has been pre served for more than - the same number o f years, .not only in Europe, but in almost every part of the world ; and when we recollect the irritating questions that were then un settled, and the powerful and prejudiced parties with whom a Liberal Government had to contend, we need not wonder at the humbled tune of the Fo reign Secretary's factious ar:o.tans. His agency, at least so say both Belgians and French, has brought the dispute between the Dutch and B e l, gian Sovereigns to all but an amicable conclusio n . During the same period the Pretender to th e throne •of Portugal has been driven into ba nishment, the country has been restored to comparative peace and prosperity, and, but f or the antagonist and Machiavellian policy o f one of the contracting powers to the Quadruple Treaty, Spain might have been brought to the enviable condition of her more fortunate neighbour. The SULTAN and the Pacha of EGYPT have hitherto been.restramed by the same system of policy from involving themselves and o th ers in war. Austria, ona of the great powers forme ly hostile to the Whig Government, has not only been conciliated, but has joined in the strictest bonds of unity with the country, by the conclusion of a treaty, which even the enem ies of the " protoc tolling" Lord are compelled to eulogise. Two years ago, France and America owed their recon ciliation to the interference of England, and France and the world have again to thank England for restoring peace between her and Mexic o.
