While the Conservatives of the great county Of Durham are split into distinct sections, and squabbling among each other with such evident heartiness, that it would scarcely appear possible that there could ever be an entire re•union of the party, the Conserva tives of Bristol are not less troubled with internal divisions, which, as might be anticipated, have had the effect of very considerably reducing their num bers, and impairing their efficiency. At a late meet ing of the members of the fraternity which took place in that city, the Chairman made more than one allu s'on to these divisions, observing that he was per fectly aware of their existence which, indeed, it was impossible to deny, and that they were chiefly to be dated from the period of the lest election. But a gentleman, named SHAW, spoke out still more frankly on the subject, and urged the following remarkable argument as a reason why the Bristol Conservatives should put an end to their feuds, and once again hang closely together, like so many onions on a rope : " He felt the time had come," said this plain-spoken gentleman, " when either they must be entirely anni hilated as a party, or once more be re-united ; it would be a waste of time to enter into the cause of the divisions which had so much injured the party, dissevering its members and pros trating its strength. Through their heartlessness and want of energy, what had they not lost in the shape of patronage ? By their not being able to return two Members at the last election they had lost a considerable portion of that patronage which it was usual for the Minster to give his friends !" In the above passage the few expressive words which we have marked in italics give us a clear insight into the real character of Bristol Conservatism, which we take for granted differs in no respect from Conservatism in any other place. It seems, then, according to Mr. SIIAIV'S candid definition, that a Conservative association is a gathering together of certain quick-witted individuals for the pur pose of promoting their own personal interests, and try ing what they can screw from the fears or prudence of the Ministry by their political influence as a compact, united confederacy. No nobler object do they pro pose to themselves by their union. There is nothing like disinterested patriotism in the case. As for principle, this is a matter only to be talked about, not to be acted on. The sole principle of action they recognise, is the very pleasant and convenient one of helping themselves to as many of the good things of place and power as the Minister—having previously had value received from them in the shape of elec tioneering supp or t, & c. — t h rows i n the i r way. Aide toi, et ciel Paidera—in other word s , look to Numb er One— i s thei r motto. Church and State—PEEL and our glorious Constitution —these are spacious ques tions enough to act as a blind , to be thrown out as a tub• to amuse that great whale, u e t s h: tin e o pt:bli t c h ; but num- , 1),:q. one is the ques ti on of l worthy of serious consideration.

If you quarrel among yourselves, you will lose your power ; and if you lose your power you will, as a necessary consequence, lose your chance of getting a snug slice or two of the loaves and fishes ! See what you have already lost by your foolish dis sensions! Had you acted harmoniously together at the last election you might have returned two Members for Bristol, but instead of this you only returned one, consequently you lost "a considerable portion of that patronage which it is usual for the Minister to give his friends!" Such is the candid and communicative Mr. SHAW'S advice to his brother Conservatives, and we thank him for his honest, downright plain-speaking, for it confirms us in an impression which we have long entertained—namely, that the principle of Conservatism, like that of Mo nopoly, is essentially one of selfishness. These Tories in a masquerade dress profess a great deal, but when you call on them to put in practice what they preach, you find them utterly wanting in good faith and eon sistmcy. They talk about making a stubbori. stand for " things as they are," at the very moment when they are maintaining the doctrine of expediency, which, they well know, will compel the Premier to give us "things as they ought to be," the instant the pressure from without becomes sufficiently powerful. In a word, while in their speeches they make a vast parade of their independence, in their acts they show themselves the mere obsequious tools of Sir R. PEEL, .Just now the majority of them are strenuously opposed to the Corn-law, but let the Premier once issue the word of command, and they will instantly falsify all their hustings pledges on the subject, and I swallow Free-trade with as much apparent readiness, and even relish, as an Alderman swallows turtle soup. By the Great Western steam-ship, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have the important intelligence that Mr. PoLK, the democratic candidate for the Presidential chair of the United States, was secured of his election, by the defeat of Mr. CLAY, his Whig competitor for that honour. It may be justly assumed that this unexpected termination of - a great contest, the victorious issue of which, even in the several States of the Union, was so unhesitatingly anticipated in favour of Mr. CLAY, down to g period a I most immediately preceding the dates to which the last advices reach from New York, is a result as little wel come as it could be expected on this side of the Channel. Few elections to the office of Chief Magistrate of the American Union have occurred, ever since her confe deration was established, that have been associated with relations calculated to prove of more profound interest to Great Britain, than that which may now be looked upon as terminated. The results which are, in this view, presented to our consideration, in the present in stance, may be briefly combined. That numerous and powerful party in the population of the United States which is " the child and the champion" of an unqualified democracy in civil government and its institutions, and the rallying point for all hostility to this country, under whatever manifestations or pretexts, has, in this election, clearly triumphed over their more moderate and practical antagonists. These latter, advocating, equally, popular rights and the popular control of their own Government, carefully respect the guarantees of treaties which they have entered into with other Powers, and will presume in favour of the good faith ,of these Powers until overt acts to the contrary towards themselves justify their suspicions and mistrust of others. The Loco-foco" interest which returns Mr. POLK is, beyond all doubt,"that which embodies the repre sentatives of slave property, and vindicates the prim ciple of slavery, on behalf of the southern States of the Union against the northern. It is that powerful faction which, identifying the renown, and influence, and moral authority, of Great Britain among the nations, with her bold, consistent, and disinterested adhesion to the self-imposed principle of slavery abolition ; devotes itself to her denunciatio❑ in time of peace, and to the provoking against her a speedy war of reckless jealousy and unprincipled revenge. It is that vast section of American citizens who, animated by these impulses, and heated by the prospects of local triumph in securing to the States of the west and the south that preponderance in the coun cils of the Union which has hitherto remained with those of the north, urge on the annexation of Texas to the general federal territory, by all or any means, however contrary to national good faith, to a sound Republican policy, to an expedient foreign policy, to tne paraiuouut aut.nority or .aleituv, vs the wishes of the great bulk of their countrymen throughout the Union. It is that unprincipled but vast cabal which would precipitate the occupation of the Oregon, or the violation of the Canadian fron- ier, to carry out its own primary objects of aggran dising the slave property and the legislative votes of the States of the south, and insulting the dignity and crippling the general power of Great Britain. We may add, too, that it is the motley "class inte rest" of the Union which is for a tariff of absurdly Ugh protective duties for the assumed encourage ment, but the practical ruin, of the trade of America, through the most impolitic discouragement, in the meanwhile, of her best customers, those foreign coun tries against whom that tariff is directed. We do not, therefore, blind ourselves to the nature or the extent of the results which may be predicated as consequent on Mr. Pout's election to the chair of the President. But we cannot participate in all the gloomy apprehensions which the fact of that election seems to have infused into the minds of some of our Contemporaries. We imagine that many of the evils whose probable occurrence it is not easy to dispute, on any argument of analogy drawn from the present aspect of circumstances, have yet a practical tendency to dissipate themselves without eventuating, so to speak. It is an important truth, and to be noted in the first place, that whatever amount of influence, and whether more or loss direct, the opinions and views and wishes of the party to whom he owes his elevation, may be expected to exercise over the career of the new PRESIDENT ; there is but a limited capacity for any independent political action in the Constitutional scheme of his official functions. His powers are rather restrictive and negative than original and transmissive. The recent example of the dead moves of that most check-mated of PRESIDENTS, the re doubtable Mr. TYLER, may serve to show how little the known personal prepossessions of the ostensible head of the Government necessarily influence the de terminations of the great National Council. But, again, the very force on whose shoulders Mr. PoLK is borne to the chair is already split into a league of many and almost antagonistic movements. The men of the south combine with the men of the north and the west in a feverish desire, probably, for a rupture with Great Britain. But the worth is opposed to the south on the question of the Texas annexation, from a con viction of the disturbance of that superior authority they now wield in Congress, which such an event would occasion ; and if the Loco-focoism of the north were content to abandon its anti-slavery views in favour of a combination with that of the south against Great Britain, there are other questions besides the Oregon occupation to sow incurable jealousies between their various members, should such a compact be ever acted on. The preponderance of the Whig party influence, at least in the Senate, will for some time, at any rate, maintain the foreign political relations of the States in their present course. This seems to be the opinion of some of the American journals, even, which are favourable to the cause of PoLK. And although the New York Herald is con gratulating its readers on that gentleman's election, in the teeth of all its recent enthusiasm for CLAY, assures them that the prospects of the United States are brightening every day, we must say we perceive many symptoms in their social aspect, their in ternal economy, and the condition of her coasts, marine, &c., which hardly warrant these congratulations in reference to the mischievous and hostile purposes to which they are addressed. Upon the whole of this intelligence, though we regret, in our respect for and confidence in Mr. CLAY, that his discomfiture seems partly attributable to a little want of singleness of purpose and decision in recent public declarations that have been made by him, touching leading questions of American and European interest; we are yet prepared to believe that the salutary influence of his talents, his integrity, and his party, may still predominate over, and regulate, the action of the United States Government, under its new President. 1 The grand " Repeal Demonstration," to celebrate the liberation of Mr. O'CONNILL and the gentlemen who were his fellow-prisoners and traversers, took place in the city of Limerick, on Wednesday evening ings" of th e Irish last. It consi s t e d i n one o f t h ose " monster gather people, which are really among the most remarkable phenomena that our times or country can exhibit—in a most extensive and im posing procession ; and in a sumptuous banquet of honour, given to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman and bis friends, in the Theatre. We trust that this 1" demonstration" will not be without its salutary in fluence on the counsels of her Majesty's Government, in calling their immediate attention to the danger of delaying " justice to Ireland." Mr. O'Cosisma. was everywhere greeted, from his arrival in Newcastle, ! in Limerick county, to his reception at the banquet, with the most enthusiastic welcome ; and his addresses to the people in acknowledgement of the honours thus paid to him, were distinguished by their animated freshness. For these, and other parti culars, we must refer the reader to the detailed report which we gave yesterday. We intend, at pre sent, to recur to the " Liberator's" speech at the banquet, inasmuch as it raises the question of the soundness of Mr. O'ConssaLL's views on certain points connected with the great question of repeal, from which views we have heretofore had the mis fortune to differ essentially. As sincere and con sistent advocates of the just and indefeasible claims of the Irish nation upon the Legislature, and the people of this country, for the removal of numerous civil and political grievances, we have thought it in cumbent upon us distinctly to propound the grounds of such difference. If this was a task not unaccompanied with difficulty, in consideration of the eloquence and talent of the various speeches to which our remarks were, in such instances, addressed, that difficulty is now mush enhanced by reason of the ability and force which pervaded the Hon. and Learned Gentle man's remarkable speech of Wednesday, on returning thanks for the sympathy and acclamations with which the toast of the evening, his health, had been received by the 750 gentlemen who were assembled at the banquet. Mr. O'CoNNEra, distinctly nails his colours to the mast. The one great cause he fights for he avows to be the repeal of the union. He des:flares that he will accept nothing less; that there must be an inde pendent national Parliament for Ireland in Dublin; that there shall be no such thing as the centralization of legislation, so far as Ireland is concerned ; that as for the wrongs, even, of which she has so long com plained, and the grievances the redress of which she has so vainly solicited from the Imperial Parliament, any compromise with her, founded on the satisfaction of the one and the removal of the other, which might now be proposed, would not be accepted by the Irish people. "We will," said he, " make John Bull understand us ; and even if he should then offer to remedy them in the Imperial Parliament, we will till him you spoke too late. We have come to the understanding that we shall do it ourselves.' " And again, in a preceding speech, delivered from CRUISE'S Hotel, "Well, there had been no surrender, no compromise.—(Cheers.) Some blockheads said that he wanted less than their rights. It was the other way, for those repealers were calling for twenty shillings, but he asked that, and ten shillings more. (Laughter.) That was by the way of tilly.— (Laughter.)" It is very natural that Mr. O'CoNNELL should feel an absorbing, uncompromising, solicitude about the result of a grand scheme of national agitation to which he has bent all the extraordinary energies of his powerful organization, physical as well as mental, with a degree of ardour and devotion—rarely, if ever, exhibited by the youngest of political leaders. But we cannot help thinking that his enthusiasm tempts him sometimes into indis cretions, the inevitable tendency of which is to defeat his own object. In the first place, he miscalculates, in our judgment, the influence of public opinion in Great Britain (which is not unlikely to suppose it self interested, as the more important integer of the empire), on the question of repealing the union; by altogether overlooking the disinclination of the majo rity to consent to the dismemberment of Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL'S own complaint is—and he puts it in his Limerick speech with some degree of bitterness—that the people of England cannot be made to see the justice of his demand. He proposes "to make John Bull see it." This purpose can be achieved in one only of two ways ; and we have much too high an opinion of Mr. O'CoNNELL's sagacity and tact to doubt, for an instant, which course he has selected. But does he—we would put it to his own candour— thia indiffpr. ence to the opinions or the wishes of "John Bull ?" We are sorry, too, to find Mr. O'CoNNELL throwing to the winds, beforehand, all or any adjustments of Irish grievances which " the Imperial Parliament" may " offer to remedy." We would repeat the ad vice we have before pressed upon the Hon. and Learned Gentleman—to await that closely-approxi matiag day, at which those in authority who have given strong manifestations of their individual adhe sion to liberal principles of government will feel themselves strong enough to carry out those measures they have long contemplated for the amelioration of Ireland, by fair and frank concessions of remedial justice and equity to that country. It seems at least questionable in point of judgment and policy to put in jeopardy, by ill-considered taunts, the fruition of events of which the tendency, in our notion at any rate, is—rapidly to determine in elevating Ireland to her due rank, and the full enjoyment of all its ad vantages, as a member of the Imperial Union. We may be forgiven if our profound interest in that beneficent consummation prompts us to submit the apprehensions we thus express to the calm con sideration of Mr. O ' CONNELL. It would be a de plorable termination to a career of such matchless zeal and activity in reclaiming, one after another, rights and franchises so long denied to, or so long lost by, his native country—to see her onward march arrested and turned by the force of fears, or pre judices, or ill-will (no matter which), needlessly ex cited, or rashly challenged. The Liberator must be satisfied that he has given to the agitation of her just cause—her demand for full equality of rights and careful redress of injuries and wrongs—a momentum which no power can now stop short of its destined and legitimate end, save that which imparted to it the impress and force of its wonderful movement— his own. At parting with this speech, to the general ability and effectiveness of which we must again bear testi mony, we must own to the feeling of surprise and re gret with which we read the following passages. That feeling has no reference to the charge against English journals, for newspapers are, by the doom of their original institution, fair marks for the shafts of all the world—their friends and their foes, their readers and their defamers. But we cannot suppose that a little more reflection would not have suggested to Mr. O ' CONNELL'S mind the many noble manifes tations which the last thirty years—and of that period, the latter term more especially—hare elicited, on the part of the people of England, of an active, generous, and disinterested sympathy for the political wrongs of Ireland, and the domestic misery and pri vations of large communities of the Irish people. 'Whether or not they want the readiness which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman attributes to his own countrymen in arriving at conclusions, we shall not stop to inquire, but they have betrayed no sluggish ness, no insensibility, we apprehend, in responding to the appeals of Irish social suffering to the best feelings of our common nature. There is nothing graceful or felicitous, surely, in these allusions to them : " I have much thought upon the impenetrability of truth into England, anti I solemnly declare that it ap pears to me as if a kind of adamantine wall surrounded that country, making it impervious to every approach of truth. It may arrive on the four wings of Heaven, and with the force of electricity to every human being else where ; but the fact is most astounding, that it never can penetrate into England.— (Hear, hear.)" And again:— " It might be said that the use of the English press was to keep up the ignorance of the people. It sup ported the delusion under which John Bull is labouring, and told him that the Irish people had no grievances to complain of ; but I am determined to give an opportu nity to every man, woman, and child in Great Britain to understand the contrary. To be sure I cannot answer for the capacity of their genius, for they have but little of the shrewdness which enables Paddy to arrive so rapidly at facts." For his own sake, very much—for the sake of Ire land, much more—we trust that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman will abstain from this random, but not innoxious skirmishing. His own eloquence wants no such aids—his country's cause is but da maged by them. Intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th inst. has been received, but it is not important. The state of the revenue is every day becoming worse, aid in order to meet pressing wants: the Cortes were engaged in discussing measures for increasing the Dues five per cent. Some of these taxes it is said will affect Eng lish manufactures. In the Chamber of Peers Count LAVRADIO called the attention of the Government to the miserable state in which the widows and orphans of the officers who died in the service of Don PEDRO were left by the Government, their pensions being then twenty-two months in arrear ; but the Minister of Finance said that he lamented exceedingly that he had no money at his disposal to pay these and many other pensions. We have received Madrid journals of the 17th inst. The Gazette of that date publishes two royal decrees, by which ZURTIINO is stripped of his rank and honours for high treason, and he and his followers, on being captured, are to be immediately led to execu tion. At the meeting of the Chamber on the 16th, a Deputy put some questions to NARVAEZ, respecting the revolt, who replied, " That the Chamber might rest assured that the Government was determined to maintain order and tranquillity at any price. Gene ral ZUREANO, being suspected of disaffection, had, he said, been ordered to quit Navarre and repair to San tander. He had given the authorities every assurance that he would lead a retired life, and obey the laws. The Government saw in him a General whom the country had loaded with favours and wealth, and did not question his loyalty. If they had called to mind his birth, education, and past life, they might have predicted what had now occurred.—(Applause.) The Government is of opinion that, perhaps, it has been ordained from Heaven that a salutary example shall be given to the people, and that the faithful Spanish army shall not suffer the disgrace of seeing their uniform borne by a rebel. It is true that the rebel ZURDANO has proclaimed a man more contemptible than himself, but he had not found a single soldier to follow him, and he commands but 70 robbers. There exists no danger of the public tranquillity being disturbed." The following proclamation had been issued by that sanguinary and ruthless chieftain, and it will be fortunate for humanity if his attempt at insurrection is thoroughly crushed. It is dated Najera, Nov. 13 : "ARMY F3lt THE RESTORATION 07 LIBERTY. " Whilst the rulers of every constitutional country in Europe are the guardians of liberty, we behold Spain oppressed, in the name of royal authority, by a perfidious and mongrel band, who, in violation of the laws and the sacred code, overstep all the bounds of their power, labour only to promote injustice and ♦enality, persecute with fury the generous Liberal party, and stop at no in famy, imposture, or calumny, to attain their end. " The moment you receive the present proclamation you will communicate it, under penalty of death, to all the authorities of the district, in order that all the authorities of the intrusive Government may that mo ment relinquish their functions, and that the adminis trative authorities, both elective and judiciary, who pre viously exercised their functions in conformity with the 60th article of. the Constitution, and before the promul gatio❑ of the infamous municipality law, shall be forth with reinstalled. " Whoever shall disobey this order shall be fined 1,000 douros (2001), to be applied to the expenses of the war ; and any officer of the intrusive Government at tempting to resist, shall be shot as an enemy of the in stitutions which the nation had conquered at the price of so much blood and so many sacrifices. The same penalties shall also be incurred by those who should col lect for the Government taxes not voted by the Cortes. " MARTIN ZURBANO." Great interest continued to prevail in Madrid re specting the fate of PRIM, and the decision of the Supreme Military Tribunal was looked for with much anxiety. On the 15th Mr. BULITBR gave a grand entertainment to the French Ambassador and most of the Foreign Ministers. The Duke DR RIANZARES, Queen CHRISTINA'S husband, better known as MuNoz, formed one of the party. On the 16th the Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20i at 60 days ; the Coupons at 251 for cash ; the Floating Debt at 641 on the Ist of December; and the Pro. visional Debt, 51 at 58 days. Most of the Paris papers have accounts of the at tempt made by ZURBANO to excite insurrection in the north of Spain, and they generally agree that he has failed and been deserted by the few adherents who had joined him. The Journal des Debats says, "We learn by extraordinary express that ZURBANO and his troop have been attacked and dispersed between Burgos and Vittoria by General JAUREGUT, well known in the civil wars of Spain by the name of EL PASTOR. ZURBANO, with a few of his men, --L. * reftie. th. Navarre, where the Captain-General of that province is already in pursuit of him." According to the Presse, all the persons who followed him into the mountains of Soria deserted him in twenty-four hours, disheartened by being isolated and repulsed by the whole province on which they had chiefly re lied, and in which they had made their first coup de main. ZURBANO has only five or six horsemen left _ _ _ with him. They are said to be his sons and other relations, and with whom he is endeavouring to pass the Ebro by its fords in the environs of Fuen Mayor, flying before the Quass's troops, who, aided by the inhabitants of the country, are hunting him in every direction. The Globe gives nearly the same account, and the National admits that the insurgent band had split into small parties, for the purpose of dividing and distracting their pursuers. The Messcrger gives the following intelligence from Otaheite :—" We have letters from Valparaiso, under the date of tne 18th August. A French ship, which left Otaheite in the beginning of July, brings news of our establishment. Governor BauAT, in formed that a certain number of natives of the south of the island had risen, thought it right to march against them. He attacked them at Rapape on the 30th of June, and completely beat and dispersed them. The Queen POMARR has left Papeiti and embarked in the English frigate Fishguard for the island of Bolabola." This intelligence affords ground to the Opposition for attacking M. GUIZOT, who, they say, kept back the intelligence till it could be no longer concealed, nearly the same account having appeared in some English journals. M. THIER3 and his party have apparently arranged their tactics for the next session, and from the subjoined articlo in his journal it will be seen that the affairs of Otaheite, the right of search, and the evacuation of Magadore are to oe the war-cries of the party : " The following piece of news is given us as certair. We have it from excellent authority, and yet we cannot credit it. It is confidently affirmed, is positive, is true, and yet it is impossible. We are told that M. Guizot, up to the present time, has not obtained from Lord Aberdeen the abolition of the right of search. He has pressed and supplicated, but a firm inflexibility has been shown him—the right of search will be maintained. We declare that the thing is most unlikely. How is it pos sible that M.Guizot, n ho had so confidently spoken before the Chambers of arriving at the desired result; who has paid England the price of it two or three times over ; who went to Windsor to celebrate the entente cordiale, has not at least wrested this concession from a Govern ment with whom he pretends to be on such intimate friendship? It is inadmissible, incredible, and yet so it is. However, we are not yet at the 26th of December—a a month separates us from the speech from the Throne, It is to be supposed that before that period, M. Guizot. who has made so many sacrifices of honour, who has dis avowed our officers and all their brave seamen of Otaheite, the blood of whem has been shed in pure loss —who has put France under the feet of Mr. Pritchard— who has evacuated Mogadore—v.ho has had it declared that France was rich enough to pay for ber glory in order to spare Abderrhaman the expenses of the war —who, in fine, h as ma d e so man y positive concessions t o Sir R. Peel, it is to be supposed, we say, that M. Guizot will finish by obtaining this modification, altogether of form, i, the treaties of 1831 and 1833. We therefore persist, notwithstanding the positive assurances that have been given us, is asserting that the speech from the Throne will announce the complete abolition of the treaties of the right of search." Marshal BUGBAUD had arrived at Marseilles, where he was received with great enthusiasm, and a grand banquet was given to him in the theatre. On his health being given, he made the following brief speech, which, however, contains a great deal : " The conquest of Algeria is complete. There is peace everywhere--from the frontiers of Tunis to those of Mo rocco all the tribes are in a state of submission, with the exception of a few of the Kabyle tribes of the provinces of Bugia and Gigelli. The most perfect security reigns on all points. An immense progress has been made. The revenues of the colony, which, in 1840, were only four millions, are now twenty millions ; the European population, which, in 1840, amounted to only 25,000, now amounts to 75,000. It was thought, even a short time ago, that the territory open to relations with us extended only to the Tell —that is to say, in a tone of forty-five leagues' breadth only. This is an error. We hare now certain knowledge that the Arab population extends to a breadth of 200 leagues, with 250 leagues in length, a surface as large as that of France. The Arab popula tion amounts to five millions, perhaps six. here is an immense future, which, perhaps, considering my age, I am not destined to see ; but as long as any streagth shall remain to me, as long as a drop of blood shall flow in my ►eins, I will devote them to the service of my country. I repeat that peace reigns throughout Algeria. Our enemy, driven from our territory, has taken refuge in Morocco, and I have just received information which I regard as nearly poaitive, although I have not yet any official certainty, that Abd-el-Kader has dismissed the small force which remained with him, and plunged into the inttritlr of thb M. Ztp LAMARTINE, the eloquent Member for Ma: con, has just published a long dissertation on the principles which actuate his party as contrasted with those of the Opposition under M. THIERS. The fol lottitig Apitited Attakjit tin , thy! ex-rtegitient 01 the Coupon contains much truth:— " Could we make common cause with him ? No, we may be left for a moment in an isolated condition, but we are reflecting men. We are not acting the mounte bank before the people. We respect the people too much attempt to ariiiise them. o fill' froth tiiht; sit have the courage to tell them some useful truths, even when we know that they are far from being palatable to them at the moment. Thus, we spurned to sing the ' Marseillaise,' during three months, to demand levies of men en masse, and to wake the pillars of the tribune vibrate, on a pal try question of religions which had arisen between a Methodist missionary and some dailsoliC supported, right or wrong, by a French officer, at a dis tance of some thousand leagues from France, on an im perceptible islet of the Pacific Ocean. We did not attempt to seek so far and so low the stumbling-block, a thousand times aecursed i which might shake the peace oti the world and stain savage shores with European blood. It is not on that miserable shoal that the peace of Europe can run aground, if it be ever to be broken. There are noble fields on the Rhine, and a valuable prey to contend for on the banks of the Medi terranean. The Romans there conquered empires ; oar noisy politicians fall furieusly upon a rock of which Eng land does not even deign to dispute the possession. You would not go to war when war was at your gates, for a grand cause in the East, and you wanted to make Ota heite a cause of war 1 Why ? Because you well knew that war could not grow out of that question ! Thus, likewise, when the King went to England, to return the visit of a young Queen who had come last year to pre sent to him a pledge of good harmony, and remove by her presence the painful recollection of the treaty of the 15th of July, my friends did not attack the Ministry for allowing royal politeness to :be returned by the King of the most polite nation in the universe. We did not blame the King for smoothing as much as in his power the thorny path on which diplomacy too often comes into collision. We certainly conceived that the clock of the Tuileries was some weeks in advance ; we should have preferred that symptomatic journey to have been postponed for a month or two. We condemned the Ministry for omitting to completely terminate the affair of Morocco, and for neglecting to obtain, at the risk of displeasing England, full reparation, guarantees, and the expenses of the war before it permitted the King to embark ; but that blame, which merely at tached to Ministers, did not induce us to view with ill will the meeting of two Sovereigns, representing the high sympathies of two great nations, and establish ing a friendly feeling between them, notwithstanding Ors rivalry of their Governments. We are more philo sophers than politicians, or rather our politics are but the philosophy of humanity. We have not sifted words of mutual peace, to seek in them susceptibilities, motives of hatred or snares, as if too many did not already exist among nations. We frankly applauded, if not all the expressions, at least the general tenour of the King's speeches in England. In order to judge them impar tially, we placed ourselves in a situation where we were neither influenced by the feelings of the moment nor blinded by party spirit ; we estimated them from what might be their probable results ; and we could not but admire a pacific King boldly raising the standard of union between the two nations, above international pre judices, and employing the voice of France to proclaim the dogma of concord. The mission he assumed ap peared to us not timid, but novel and daring ; for it is snore difficult to prevail on the French - nation to listen to reap oa than to glory. No, we considered it tio shame on the part of a Sovereign to use the throne as the most ele vated point between nations, whence to proclaim, supported by 30,000,000 armed citizens, a desire to maintain European harmony, to avow a desire to see peace con solidated, and to admit and approve the dogma of re spect for human blood, and the happiness of nations. A King acting such a part, raises himself to the level of a philosopher. We offer no opposition to philosophy, even when it becomes identified, either by chance or by good luck, with the person of a king. In every other respect we pursued nearly the same line as did the Opposition. We differ from them, however, on one point, for we ex pect no better from the Ministry that may be chosen from its ranks, than from the Ministry it attacks. The cause of liberty seeking its avenger in the Minister of the laws of September, and the cause of national dignity personified in the Minister of 1840, and committed to the safe keeping of the man who recalled our fleet from the Levant, and signed the note of the Bth of October ! This, in my opinion, would be to carry the jest too far, and to insult with too much effrontery the good seine of the country. But if the county wishes it—if it amuse the Opposition—we have nothing to say to it. In a comedy there is an actor for every part. Our affairs are conducted on a similar principle. We are wrong to regard with seriousness, liberty, revolution, and the gran deur of our revolution. It is an error, but an error which history will share with us." THE BOURSE--SATURDAY, Nov. 23.

If the following statement be correct, received this morning from New York, the holders of State Bonds a:f in a very bad position :—" Since the departure of the , last steamer there has been quite a decline in the quo tations for many of the State stocks, including some of those now regularly paying the interest on their j public debt. Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania State I stocks have fallen off very much, and a further decline lin the market value of the stock of delinquent States must be experienced. The election of Mr. Polk 1 settles the policy of the administration of the general government for the next four years, and the principle of distribution falls to the ground. The hope that many entertained of the success of Mr. Clay, on account of this principle alone, must now be abandoned, and the cre ditors of the delinquent States look to other sources for the payment of their bonds. Every State must now defend upon its own resources. Nothing can be ex pected from the general Government to aid them to their financial difficulties. We cannot at present see the slightest favourable indication in the movement of the repudiating State*, calculated to afford the most trifling hope to those interested in the regular payment of the accruing interest on their large debts. So far as the State of Illinois is concerned, the whole negotiation, about which so much has been said, and so much time and money consumed, is narrowed down to the decision of the Legislature of the State in the coming winter." The demand for British manufactured goods had ra ther improved. The balance of trade was against the United States, and specie was ia demand for exportation to Europe. The Cotton market was brisk. The Corn trade was dull. From Canada we learn that a great deal of interest was taken in the result of the elections, which were all but completed. Sir Charles Metcalfe would, it was fully expected, have a full working majority to carry on his Government. True it is that a few names are on the list of returned members of a most doubtful and sus picious repute. Nevertheless it is to be hoped that the general policy of Sir Charles may be carried on, as his desire is to extend the prosperity, and to develope the resources of the Canadas. The weather had set in very severely. There are accounts from Buenos Ayres to-day to the 7th September. It appears that conflicts were still in progress with the Monte Videans, and that they have in some instances the advantage, at least according to their own accounts. The Government brokers took about 15,0001. stock in the New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. to day at 102*. The market fur the Funds has fallen to some extent in consequence of the news from the United States being considered as rather unfavourable—the election of Mr. Polk to the Presidency being held as against British in fluence. The prices of Consols for the Account this morning has been 1001, and for transfer to-morrow, 1001 The premium on Exchequer Bills has risen to 625. In the Foreign Market a fair amount of business has been transacted to-clay. Spanish Stock has scarcely been so firm as it was, as it appears that the statement of the capture of Zurbano has not been confirmed. Spa nish Bonds have been at 24, and the Three per Cents. at 351 Dutch Four per Cents. have been taken at 97; the Five per Cents at 99; Russian at 119 ; and Mexican at 35i In the other Foreign Bonds the variations have been slight to-day. In the Share Market more business has been effected this morning. Prices are on the whole rather lower, especially the Birmingham and Gloucester, the Bristol and Exeter, the Churnet Valley, and some of the French lines of railway .

We regret to learn that, early yesterday morning, a most extensive robbery was discovered to have been committed on the highly respectable banking house of Messrs. Rogers, Towgood, and Co., o f Clement's-lane, Lombard- s t ree t. It i s sup posed the burglars must have entered by means of skeleton or false keys. During the day some of the swell-mob were observed prowling about Lombard-street, in the vicinity of Clement's-lane, but as yet there is no clue as to the direction they have taken. About 40,000/. in notes, and we believe a thousand pounds in gold, have been carried off. It will be seen by an announcement in another part of our paper that the numbers of the notes are given, and of course stopped at the Bank of England. ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL.—Yesterday evening Mr. O'Connell arrived at his residence, Merrion square, from Limerick, and, we are happy to add, in the enjoy merit of the best health and spirits.—Dublin Evening Post. SIR EDWARD CODRINGTON ON DRUNKENNESS AND FLOGGING IN THE NAVY.—The following important testimony as to drunkenness being the chief cause of flogging in the navy, is borne by the Gallant Admiral, Sir Edward Codrington, in his tribute of praise to Father Mathew, accompanying a contribution to the fund now raising for his relief :—" Chertsey, Nov. 21, 1844.—Dear Sir,—l have read of your being in the chair at a meeting to promote a subscription for Father Mathew, and as I very highly honour him for his zealous exertions, and no less highly value those exertions for the benefit they will produce amongst seamen, you will oblige me by contributing five pounds for me, for which I inclose you a cheque. But for the vice of drunken ness, we should Scarcely ever be called upon to use the lash in the navy, a duty which is always performed with disgust.—Very faithfully yours, EDWARD CODRINGTON. To J. S. Buckingham, Esq." Tux MAGISTRACY.—John Kelly, Esq., has been appointed resident magistrate of Shinrone, King's County, replacing Sir William Lynar, who succeeds Mr. Kelly in Waterford.--Dublin Evening Post. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE3,—. The condition of the wrought cotton hose branch is by no means mended, the hands being in general either stinted or obliged to wait long intervals for materials. The cut-up hose hands, notwithstanding the extreme cheapness of the arti c l es p ro d uce d , are not i n a better condition in regard to employment, but in respect of comfort and excessive labour, there is no comparison between them, as the cut-up hands working in wide frames are very hard-worked. The silk glove branch has had a few sprinklings of orders, which excite a little hope. The silk hose branches, both plain and knotted, are lingering on, though declining ; this re mark is equally applicable to the Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield trade; an important improvement to the workman has been latterly introduced, which is the silk drawn from the bobbin by an apparatus, instead of being pulled off by the weight of the jacks, enabling the workman to gain his line of thread safer and better, and avoiding the evil of slur-galls or slack places across the stocking. The drawer and pantaloon trade is worse than ever, and the masters with great difficulty obtain material, even alter long attendance upon the warehouses ; this causes so much despondence amongst them, that many are contemplating to turn their attention to other means of obtaining a livelihood. The bobbin. net trade is much depressed in almost every description of goods. From the multiplicity of articles now produced, it is almost impossible to speak in gene ral terms which shall hold correctly for all the trade. In France, we understand, it is worse than in England. The silk warp lace trade, except the jacquard and fancy gloves, is in a miserable state ; this is attributed to the large importations of French point net lace. The lap and press warp branch is said by part of the hands to be much depressed, whilst others insist that there is a demand for all that is made. It is gratifying to state, amidst so much gloom, that the cotton warp tatting trade feels very little of this depression. These articles are preferred to bobbin-net in both the Eastern and South American markets, the ornament being made of a stout thread, is bolder and more striking, whilst the net being made of fine single cotton, appears much thinner to the eye. Considerable quantities pass by transit through Egypt to the East, down the Red Sea.—Nottingham j?eview. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND ilubltt Op futon. " Who rums may read." VONIZION.
