Within a fortnight Parliament will have re-assem bled, and then, besides many questions of vital irn portance to the community at large, various matters of a less general interest will come in rapid succession under the consideration of the Legislature. Among the latter we are sanguine that the great wrong done to an officer in the military service of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND-a de plorable violation of the laws of this country, and of the abstract principles of justice to which we our selves have already referred—will not be overlooked. Our solicitude would unquestionably have been most earnest had the evil influenced alone the fortunes of this afflicted gentleman ; but seeing that, through him, the status of the whole British, army is assailed,.our anxiety that such an enormous error should be recti fied iF, if that be possible, considerably enhanced. Had the lamentable misprisions of justice to which we are here making allusion affected simply and ex clusively the position of a single one of the sub jects of her Britannic MAJESTY, we could not, we repeat, have remained indifferent to a circumstance so glaringly fraught with disgrace to the whole body poli tic. The recollection of the memorable remark uttered by one of therenowned men of antiquity—Malle se ununi civem servare, quam mille h.stes occidere—would have been sufficient of itself to provoke our advocacy of the violated rights of a fellow-countryman, and must inevitably have elicited from all quarters of the empire words of horror and indignation. Nevertheless, beyond the cruelty evinced towards a solitary 11Bit in the population of Great Britain, the sentence of the recent • Court martial at Guernsey has betrayed a capacity on the part of those tribunals to disorganize the whole ma chinery of the martial power of England. To pre vent the recurrence of such atrocious decisions, to re instate an officer wrongfully and ignominiously dis missed from the army of his SOVEREIGN, to dissipate for ever these scarcely resistible incitements to in subordination—must be the aim, 'the desire, and the resolution of every individual alive to the calls cf justice and of patriotism. Hence it is that we are induced to recur betimes to a subject already com mented upon in these columns at some length, and which must, before many weeks have expired, be formally brought under discussion in one, if not boti , of the Houses of Parliament. One fact, which has been conspicuously demon strated by the late occurrence in the Channel Island, would, if considered alone, be ample justification fur a demand for the re-organization of military juris prudence—namely, that "in the existing state of the law the unfortunate accused has no means of knowing the sentence which has crushed him until it has been ratified (by the Crown), carried into execution, and therefore irrevocable " Surely, than this nothing more violently opposed to the commonest principle 4 of justice could be contrived even under the most Dionysian despotism. Ttiat a prisoner should be deprived of all the chances of remonstrance until such time as any remonstrance whatever 'is worse than futile, is a system in direct contravention of all the dogmas of British jurisprudence. It is to effect the abolition of such an execrable scheme of punishment that the energies of every true•hearted citizen in the land should be directed. It is in the hope of aiding in the removal of this crying evil from the military code of Great Britain that we have written, that we write, that we shall continue to write with such unintermittent, unaffected, and undiminishable earnestness. That this evil will be removed, and that, moreover, very speedily, we are sanguine, with the assistance of our hereditary legislators and our na tional representatives. Having, in our previous observations on the case of the unfortunate Captain of the 16th Regiment, al luded in emphatic terms of admiration to the ela borate " Letter," addressed in his behalf to her Most Excellent Majesty Queen VICTORIA by Mr. WAR REN, we may be permitted to instance the force of his arguments by one or two very forcible quotations from its introduction. After intimating at the outset the want of all validity in the proceedings about to be submitted to the attention of the SOVEREIGN, our author avers— " Those proceedings, I undertake to show, e.e wrong from beginning to end: wrong in substance, wrong in form; wrong in fact, wrong is law; wrong in the conduct of the inquiry; wrong in the finding; wrung in the sentence; wrong in carrving it into effect; wrong in the recording of the proceedings; wrong in the col.- firmation of them before being submitted Ibr your Mu jesty's approval; wrong in the rejection c f an appeal from that confirmation; wrong, in Let, in everything, but intention." Nor, we are bold to say, will one dissentient voice be raised against the accuracy of this damning cata logue of blunders. Throughout the whole of the 282 pages of this enthralling and masterly pamphlet the evidences adduced' in proof of the veracity cf this startling preliminary assertion are copious and con clusive. Every judgment will recognise the over whelming force of the whole exposure, every eye will perceive at a glance the excessive hardship of every step in these deplorable transactions, every heart will revolt from the crookedness of each detail of the proceedings. With these touching sentences the author pri ludes his generous and dignified appeal to his SOTERBION:-- "An officer, an accomplished gentleman, of ancient and honourable family, in the very flower of his age, atter having devoted thirteen years to the faithful and zealous service of your Majesty, in almost every quarter i. f your World-wide dominions, has been ignominiously ex pelled from that service, 'branded as a liar. He stood on trial, before his brother-Aficers, with as high vouchers to character, as could have been presented, had it un fmtunately been rendered necessary by such a casualty as has befallen him, by any one cf themselves. He was, moreover, the eldest son of a general officer, who late'y descended to his grave with honour, after half a century spent in the service,of three of your Majesty's prede cessors; leaving behind him, as his eldest son, the ui.- happy gentleman to whose case I earnestly implore the attention cf your Mejesty. His venerable father sleeps calmly in the dUst, trom which he might start with 'horror, could he know of the blight which had falls upon the ancient name inscribed upon his tomb. Ile had lcft that name—the unsullied honour of his house— ta be in like manlier sustained by his son, his succour in your Majesty's service, and the head and representative of his family. That son is himself a father - , -the father of lovely children, and one of thew, a son: but the mere sight of them is, agony to him; for they bear, alas! a now dishonoured name; and are the unconscious of:- spring of a ruined outcast." , Having so announced to her MAJZSTY the nature of that great wrong which he, as "a free, fearless, but loyal Englishman," beseeches her to redress, through the plenitude of her royal authority, the writer forcibly calls to the remembrance of the Queen of ENGLAND two precedents of such inter ference on the part of the MONARCH, precedents " recorded in glowing language by the late Lord ER.SKINE." Before, however, entering into a more detailed examination of the occurrences out of which the recent proceedings emanated, Mr. WARREN scrupulously disclaims any desire to attach blame to any individual in regard to intention. In trutls, even the principal portion of his condemnation, apart from all charges of ill-intention, are directed indi vidually, against her MAJESTY'S late Judge Advocate- General, whom he very naturally regards as one indifferently qualified to direct any such proceedings, having, shortly before his retire *ment from the bar, practised " not in the cow - mon law courts, but in those of equity, which are concerned with questions relating to property only, and have to deal not with viva voce but with written evidence."

His cha- We are, indeed, rejoiced to find that the agitation for the most important of all the reforms so urgently required to secure the welfare and prosperity of the people is about to be renewed in a form that, we trust, will speedily lead to a triumphant result. The National Currency Reform Association has been formed under the able presidency of the zealous and energetic FRANCIS Beriziocu, and:the clear-headed and intelligent JONATHAN Duricest, the enthusiastic and devoted labourer in the great cause of monetary reform, has accepted the office of secretary. Under such auspices we cannot doubt but that the fearful injuries which all classes, with one exception, have sustained from the working of our monetary code will be fully and clearly explained, and the advantages to be derived from the adoption of " free trade in money" distinctly developed. The time has truly arrived when all parties should put their shoulders to the wheel, when the voice of public opinion should be heard, temperately but firmly, demanding from the Legislature the redress of the wrongs under , which the nation has groaned for the last thirty years. Although all classes are more or less interested in the result, the working men—those who can earn their daily bread by their daily labour—are peculiarly se. The adoption of a circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the nation would speedily afford ample and remunerative employment for all who'Were able and willing to labour ; it would prove to be the very " life . -blood of industry." A suitable measure and representative of value would Ming to light the real capital contained in the thews and ' sinews of the labouring population, who would then Become the creators and producers of national wealth ' in place of being but too frequently the incumbrances ' and burdens on the national resources. _ _ ranter has little to fear from the frequently refutod misrepresentations reiterated through the pages of the Quay terly. The first general meeting of this association will be held at seven o'clock this evening at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, when the principles and objects for which the society has been constituted will be fully explained. We anticipate a numerous attendance of those who feel the weight and pressure of the existing - taxation, and the impracticability of giving full scope to their exertions under the present unjust and impolitic system of currency. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. OLYMPIC THEATRE. At the opening of the present season the new and elegant theatre in Wych-street found itself placed. between two fires—the Strand, with Farren and Mrs. Glover on the one hand, and on the other Drury Lane, re-opened for the legitimate drama, with the attractions of a good company, a first-rate panto mime, and reduced prices of admission. These po tent influences told, for a little time, somewhat against the interests of the enterprising lessee of the Olympic, but the admirable efficiency of his troop, the incomparable elegance of the appointments, and the extreme attention devoted to all details conducing to the satisfaction of his patrons and the harmonious working of his establishment, are already fairly and cordially appreciated, and we confidently predict that at the close of the campaign Mr. Watts will not only have secured the permanent favour of the play-going world, but will have reason to congratulate himself upon a well-replenished treasury, the gratifying fruits of merited success. Mrs. Mowatt's highly humorous co medy, perfect in the cast and the performance, continues to draw numerous and delighted audiences. Apart from its sterling merits, it is worth going to see if for nothing else than the novel and lavish style of beauty of the mise en scene. Leaving to Drury, and the Princess's to settle bet ween them which boasts the most deservedly of producing " the best pantomime of the season," we venture to tell them that Laugh and Grow Fat treads close upon their heels. It is deli cioasly grotesque. Tom Matthews's autumnal splendour is not yet eclipsed by the meridian lustre of the inimitable Flexmore. Miss Malcolm is an agile and fascinating Columbine, inferior to none within our knowledge, and Morris, makes a right capital Pantaloon. But not the least prominent fea ture of this portion of the entertainment is the excel lence of Cormack's Harlequin. One pantomimist may be found excelling in activity, a second in grace fulness of posture, another in brilliancy of saltatory executior, hut there is a masterly and unique combi nation of all the qualifications essential to pre-emi nence in this particular department of the art de veloped in the performance of Cormack, which stamps him as the best Harlequin on the metropolitan boards. A pas de deux by Marshall and Miss Louisa Cole man, a very elegant danseuse, was warmly applauded. The pantomime wilt, we understand, be withdrawn after a few nights more in consequence of various forthcoming novelties. A new classical drama, from the pen of Oxenford, entitled Ariadne, is on the eve of appearing, and that splendid tragedian Gustavus Brooke, will, ere long, prove the magnet of the town. There is one highly commendable measure adopted by this most liberal of managers to promote the comfort and satisfaction of his visitors, and we wish that in this and sundry other matters the managers of the other houses would take a leaf out of his book, namely, the strict prohibition of gratuities to the box-keepers, who are, notwithstanding, remarkably civil and at tentive. It is high time that this tormenting tax were universally abolished. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National Assembly on Monday was engaged in a discussion on the Bill authorising the transporta tion of the insurgents of June, at present at Belle Isle, to Algeria. An amendment, moved by M. SAUTEYRA, that the prisoners should be tried or set at liberty, was rejected by a majority, 385 to 205. The great feature of the discussion was the speech of M. JULES FAVRE in favour of the amendment. (M. JULES FAVRF, it will be recollected, was one of the most active members of the Committee of the Consti tuent which, in June, 1848, recommended the transportation of these very men.) In the course of his speech M. JULES PAYER declared that he ascended the tribune because he had had the dangerous honour of being one of the members of the Committee appointed t , y the Constituent Assembly to prepare the decree against the insurgents of June. He could, therefore, speak with perfect know ledge of what were the intentions and mo tives on which the decree was presented. The Constituent Assembly acted under the idea that the men engage'd in the insurrection of June bad fought with a firm resolve to effect the ruin of so ciety. But he could affirm that that opinion was marked by error.—(" Oh, oh !" Marks of surprise.) The facts of that insurrection had been since investi gated by the courts of law and by the councils of war, and he defied any one to point out a single proof, or even indication, that the acts of the insur gents of June were the effect of a conspiracy directed against sobiet7.—(" Oh, oh !" and laughter.) A Voice—this is very different language from what you employed formerly.—(Hear, hear.) M. Jules Favre could defy any man to point out One word of his that was in contradiction to his pre sent language. As long as the facts had not been in s?stigated he had been silent, but now that they had been carefully examined, he was able to give an °Onion, and to affirm that there was no premeditated *sign on the Ort of the insurgents of June against society. This speech of M. Jinx& FAVRE - has produced a great sensation. It appears from the statement made by the Minister of the Interior that there are at pre sent in the Orisons oEßelle Isle only 468 prisoners out of the 14,500 originally arrested. The Corsaire says : We are assured that the Prince de Canino has for warded to thii Legislative Assembly' the following peti tion Inlay quality of French citizen I demand to be allowed to enter France like my brothers, Pierre, An toine, Louis Lucien Bonaparte, like my uncle Jerome and his son, and like my first cousin Louis Napoleon Bonaparte."

In our impression of Monday we made a passing comment on two articles in the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews on the subject of the massacres at Dolly's Brae in July last, on the occasion of an Orange procession,'and the policy of the Irish Go vernment in reference to it. Of the facts, sentiments, and reasoning of the writer in the Edinburgh Review —a periodical beyond the suspicion of any sympathy with rebels or Ribbonmen—we will only say, they are the echo of our own, frequently put forward through the columns of this journal since that fatal occurrence took place, and we have only again to recommend its perusal' to all who feel anxious to be fully and truly informed on the subject. But with the writer in the Quarterly we have a word or two more. And first we would take leave to examine his fitness to discharge the duty he has assumed, for be professes to " believe himself as im partial a judge in this case as it is possible that one attached to the broad and general principles of the British Constitution can be." His impartiality appears to be as qualified and con ditional as the loyalty of o:angeism—his notions of the broad principles of the British Constitution ap- pear critically to coincide with those of the Orange men, who believe that this Constitution was especially framed for their exclusive benefit, and who shout that the laws are infringed, the Crown in danger, the empire overthrown, and threaten to withdraw their support from the Executive, if but a Jew, a Quaker, Dissenter, or Catholic be admitted even one step within the pale of the Constitution. - A foreigner, or one unacquainted with the peculiar phraseology of the political school to which this writer evidently belongs, on reading the extract which we have above quoted, would be somewhat puzzled to discover the reason why an " attachment to the broad and general principles of the British Constitution" should awaken, in the writer's own mind, any suspicion as to his fitness to impar tially examine a question affecting the interests of any class or classes of his fellow-subjects. But it should be known, that Orangemen and their advo dates understand the " broad and general principles of the British Constitution" to mean no more than what BUSINESS.

MILNE'S cCOTTISH ENTERTAIN MEN CROSBY HALL. The lovers of Scottish song have felt the loss of Wilson. He sang the melodies of his native land with a taste and sweetness, an expression and feeling, which showed that his soul was in it, and that he was no stranger to the "poetry of music." His illustra tions, apt, judicious, and humourous, did more to popularise the songs of Scotland to an English au dience than had ever been done before ; and proved him no less the accomplished gentleman than the successful singer. His lamented death has caused a void in our metropolitan atnus.ements which we have longed to see filled up ; and it was, therefore, with some anxiety that we on Monday evening attended Mr. Milne's entertainment at Crosby Hall. Mr. Milne makes his appearance in London under the auspices of Sir James Duke, the ready patron of unobtrusive merit and the liberal encourager of as siduous perseverance • but we think he needs no such patronage ; it will be his own fault if he secure not a far more extended patronage than that of any indi vidual, however influential. Of the entire perform ance we can speak in terms of unqualified commenda tion. Mr. Milne appears to possess the qualifications necessary to secure eminent success. His manner is easy and graceful, his voice full and melodious, while his singing is free from that noisy, bolstering bawling, which may be enthusiastic, but is very unmusical. Two of his songs in particular were admirable. " 0' a' the Airts the Wind can blavv," one of Burns' favourites, was sung with great feeling and impres siveness ; and " My Wife has ta'en the gee" was given with much point and precision, and loudly applauded. The Misses Smith, who assisted in the performance, were an immense acquisition. Some of the old Jacobite songs, which were arranged as " trios," were sung moat harmoniously, and were very effective. " Caller Herring," always a favourite, from its easy flowing measure and the sentiment of the song, was also arranged as a " trio," and was rapturously re ceived. Miss Julia Smith's voice is a soprano of great power and compass, and her singing is distin guished by a correct accentuation. She sang "My Boy Tammy" most exquisitely. Her sister's is a soft, flexible contralto, and told with admirable effect in the several duets which they sang together. Tne audience seemed altogether much pleased with the entertainment, and received with evident satisfaction the announcement that it would be continued every Monday evening. We think Mr. Milne is wise in taking this course, for he may rest assured that if he supply the public with a good article, and according to sample, the public will support him. _ is called in Ireland "Protestant Ascendancy"—that is, the domination of a paltry faction over the great majority of the people ; the monopoly of the loaves and fishes, to the exclusion of all who differ from them—and that is, all that is rational and respectable in the land=in religious and political sentiments. This writer, while trying to delude his readers into a belief in his impartiality, makes an avowal which, we think, entirely disqualifies him from any claim to the character of a fair or candid censor in the case. lie makes an admission which clearly shows that he is not free from those prejudices, and that he wants that indifferency which should form the essen tisls of a fair and impartial judge. His own words are, "That his feelings are far, THOUGH NOT EQUALLY, distant from the extreme of either party." .Now,we care not to which side he incline ; his own admission destroys his claim to impartiality. He declares that he is no Orangeman., yet he leaves no grounds to doubt to which extreme his political and religious notions flow, and that too with no very moderate current. Our readers will not find it diffi cult to anticipate what sort of moral structure has been raised by a writer of such confessed and avowed predilections and prejudices. The whole article is a tissue of unchristian sentiments, distorted facts, and Case reasoning;. a melancholy instance 'of how im potent and feeble even great talents become when they are prostituted to the purposes of faction. • The very first paragraph, which we transcribe, de serves our most indignant condemnation. He says— " The collision of the Orangetr ea and Ribbonmen near Castewellan in the county of Down on the 12th of last July—much to be re4retted for its immediate results— has become. additionally and more erfensivily important from the consequences which the indiscretion, to give it the gentlest term, of the Irish Government has entailed on the original misfortune, and from the serious queer lions of both constitutional law and policy, which have kieen by this and several other affairs of a like tendency forced upon public attention." We scarcely believed that in the British empire one human 'being could be found so heartless as to sully the pages of a respectable periodical by such un feeling sentiment!. What were the " immediate re sults" which he slurs over with so slight a feeling of regret as to weigh almost as nothing in the ba lance against an act of. " indiscretion " by the Irish Government ? Will it be believed that these results, so lightly referred to, were no less than the wrecking and pillaging of pioperty, the burning cf houses, and last, and most horrifying in this cata logue of crime, the cold-blooded murder of innocent childhood and feeble old age ? (Toms SWEENY, an idiot, was found on the road with his skull battered to pieces ; PAT KING was taken out of his house, stabbed and beaten to death ; ANNE TRAYNOR, a woman seventy years of age, was cruelly beaten, and died soon after; and three other women, one of them badly wounded, would have been burned in their houses were they not recued by the police. In reference to KING'S mur , der we shall give the evidence of one of the wit- nesses : " I was in the house when the door was broken, and nay uncle Pat King kill a : the house filled in with CENTRAL AMERICA. Consistently with - the enterprise hitherto evinced by him as a geographer, Mr. Wyld, of Charing cross, has just issued a most admirable map of the countries comprised in the narrow isthmus connecting North and South America, and separating the Pacific from the Atlantic. Hitherto this particular quarter of the globe has been about the least known, while the knowledge of its nature and characteristics has, year by year, b ee n growing a subject of larger and larger i n terest. Before five more years have elapsed, in all human probability, no less than four different lines of railway will be opened across the isthmus of Panama, rendering that neck of land what Egypt was at one period in the other hemisphere—the highway of the commerce of mankind. Here, in the beautiful and elaborate map before us, Mr. Wyld has delineated these four different routes, ac companying the general delineation with illustrative marginal sections of the levels, cuttings, and other variations of the country and the enterprize. The surface depicted in the map is comprised between the fourth and twentieth degrees of latitude. Line I. is situated between Chagres- and Panama, extending over fifty-one miles, and presenting 500 feet as the summit level of the present road ; on examination, however, it proves that along this route only thirty-six miles by land require to be traverstd, the rest of the distance being navigable by the Rio Chagres. Line IL is from St Juan el Sur to San Juan de Nicaragua, extending over 172 miles in length. Line 111. is from Realego to St. Juan de Nicaragua, extending over no less than 278 miles in length. While, remem bering that along these two latter routes the distance to be traversed is most materially diminished (di - minished indeed to. nearly fifteen miles) through the interposition of Lake Nicaragua and the River SAD J u an de Nicaragua—the cutting being not deepe r than 600 feet in the highest quarters. Line IV., and peihaps the best among all the routes, extend ing over 199 miles in length is the one tra versing the road of. Tehuariepec. This last-menti one d rou te, although aided by no rivers and h • airing a summit level of about 1,450 feet high, may b e regarded as having the preference, in consequen ce of its establishing the most d irect communication between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, by that means escape from very difficult and even dangerous navigation. For the publication of this excellent map the public are highly indebted to our eminent geographer. • Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli have arrived at their resi dence at Grosvenor-gat- from Belvoir Castle.

BRITISH BENEFICENT INETITUTIOI4.—The Earl of Cardigan, the president, has fixed Wednesdac, May 29, f,r a dinner to celebrate the fAindation of the institu tion, at which the noble and gallant Earl will preside, at the Leeinfoonil-hall. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW. CITY, QUARTER TO TIIRE E. The F ales of Cotton at Liverpool ye.q relay :lore es timated at 30,000 ha'ei, of which 21,500 were taken on speculatlon.

Compared with Fricay's rates, prices of American were id. to V., and Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat id. per lb. higher.—Railway Shares were firm. The awelerated pace at which the involved affair c,f Mexican finance is explained and re-explained, may render it somewhat difficult to the less-aaatchful bond holder to follow the correspondence, and arrive at a just conclusion, but we think we can hold out a reason aisle hope of an early and satisfactory solution. Like all other investigations, the result must, in one sense be gainful, since the real state of the case will be ascer- tatted, and which, to us, appears promising, although matters are not yet positively established on a satisfac tory basis. Whether the meeting at the London Tavern now being held, will result in the formation of a new committee expressly to attend to the Mexican debt, a few hours will show, but it is certain that, from various causes, a large number of the bondholders are dissatisfied with the present administration, and that greater ac tivity, increased facilities for the obtainment of informa tion by the creditors, and other changer, will be requisite. If the bondholders would at once determine upon the appropriation of a few hundreds per annum, their work, either with the new or old committee, could to much better done; and long since, in railway coml anies for example, has it been discovered, that tint aid, underpaid, or irregularly paid officials, arc, for various reasons, the dearest. To keep our readers fully au courant of affair?, we subjoin an imported le•'ter from Mr. William Parish Robertson, the late special envoy in Mexico of the English bondholder?, and his announced secession from the old committee will not, perhaps, surprise those who were aware of the position in which he has lately stood towards his colleagues. We cannot but regard Mr. Robertson's decision as judicious under circum stances. The Equador creditors will likewise find mat ter of interest in the communication, which is as fol- lows:— " Equatorian Consulate-General, London, Jan. 22. "Dear Sir,—Your circular note of to-day informs me that the committee will meet on Friday, the 25th, and you will much oblige me by then laying this communi cation on the table. • "Among several reasons which have determined me to resign my seat at the board of the committee, I think it necessary only to mention two. "lst. A note has been addressed to-day by the com mittee to Colonel Facie, the financial agent of the Mexican Government, calling on him to deliver up funds towards the payment of Mexican dividends, and yet declining to recognise him in his official capacity. Now, as Colonel Facio's appointment was expressly sanctioned by a written agreement entered into by the Financial Minister of Mexico and myself, as Com missioner of the Mexican bondholders, I could but s tultify my own deed by becoming a party to a note ad dressed to Colonel Facio, denying the competency of his appointment. " 26. Having received, in my capacity of Consul- General of the Equador, new instructions from the pre sent Executive of that state to continue my services here, and to endeavour to bring about an arrangement of the foreign debt of the Republic, I have, after mature deli beration, and in fulfilment of my duty, determined to call shoitly a meeting, of the Equatorial bondholders, with a view of requesting them to appoint a committee of their own, with which I can frankly co-operate in carrying out tie wishes of the Government which I. represent. " You will accordingly please inform my late col leagues that I have to-day ceased to be a member of their body. " I remain, dear sir, your obedient humble servant, " WM. PARISH ROBERTSON. " A. Godfrey, Secretery of the General Committee of Spanish American Bond holders." The parties t,) whom the fourth instalment of the Mexican dividend is due are not likely, we hope, to be ktpt much longer out c f their money. Colonel Facie, tbe financial agent here of the Republic, has come boldly fdrearcl, and while proving what to us appears the dis crepancy in the accounts rendered at different periods by Messrs. Schneider to the Mexican Government, he promises unequivocally that if the late agents can show any fair claim against his Government it shall be dis charged, without being deducted from the sums re mitted for the creditors. Further explanation must ensue, and we hope speedily to announce that this part f the qua tion is settled. As to the future prospects of the bondholders, with steady remittances, with the assurance of the support of Lord Palmerston, and with increased energy on all sides—for we gise the Mexican Govern ment great credit for its exertions since the war—there is no reason to doubt of their being most cheering. The following is the letter of Colonel Facio : "Sir,—l feel it my duty, the Mexican Minister at this Court being on the Continent, to write a few lines in answer to the letter of Messrs. Schneider and Co., pub lished in the newspapers of the 19th inst., which I re que: t you to give place in your columns. " Messrs. Schneider and Co. say it is not true that they are provided with funds to pay the fourth of the dividend due; but the following will prove that the state ments of the Finance Minister in Mexico, and of the Minister at this Court, are quite correct. " Messrs. Schneider and Co. irdormei the Finance Minister, on the Ist of September, that the amoun* of the new bonds and certificates _issued to that date was only 7,906,2071. The fourth of the dividend due on this sum is £49,413 15 0 According to the ac count published, the said Messrs. Schne ider and Co. had, in April last £44,666 3 4 June remittance, per Severn July do , per Thames 4.124 4 6 Nov. do., per Calypso 261 12 10 Nov. do., eer Trent 6,944 6 10 £57,627 15 4 Balance in favour of the Government ...X8,214 0 4 "The Fit. &nee Minister was not mistaken when he said that Messrs. Schneider and Co. had sufficient money t ) pay the fourth of the dividend due on the converted part of the debt, and ordered them to deliver t.) me the balance in favour of the Government. For the misconception and the serious error alluded to in the kt•er of Messrs. Schneider and Co., the Finance Minister is not accountable— " 1. Because on the Ist September, Messrs. Schneider and Co. informed the Finance Minister that the amount of the new bonds and certificates issued to that date was only 7,906,2071., and three months afterwards (on the Ist December last) they said it had been 10,040,972 F.; " 2. Becauie ,they have insisted upon finishing the conversion, and upon paying the dividend on the whole debt, when the only act of agency !Wowed them to per form was to pay the fourth duo on the said 7,906,2071. ; " 3. For the claims produced now, for the first time, of 2,1321. 155. paid to O'Brien, Esq., and 1,2621. ss. Bd. for inteie-t on the Legation draf s. " But it will be seen that Messrs. Schneider and Co. still have sufficient money to pay the o ne -f ourt h of the . dividend due: — Amount required for the payment of the remaining one-fourth of the dividend £64.650 8 3 The balance unprovided for to complete that sum is said to be Chargeable against the l as t sum, viz., the commis sion Messrs.

The two bills included in their account cannot be paid with money belonging only to the bondholders, because the interest Messrs. Schneider and Co. have paid to the Government fur the funds they lad in their possession has been destined also to dividerds. Those two bills, as well as any other lawful claim they may produce, shall be paid as soon as they present their accounts and deliver up to' me the hooks and other papers belonging to the agency, according to the orders (1 . my Government.

We gave, a few days since, an extract from the re marks of a London share-agent, laudatory of the Cale donian Railway as an investment, without holding ourselves at all responsible for his opinions, and dissent ing from them, in fact, as regards the guarantees. It is but fsir to insert the following rejoinder sent from Glas gow, by a party of high standing:-- "I see a sta.ement 'in the Money article of The Sun, as coming from a party connected with the share market, stating that Caledonian shares were good to purchase at even double their present price, in consequence of the increased traffic. As this is calculated to:mislead, I would point out to the editor of the Money articles the following extract from the report of the committee of investigation respecting the.:e shares, as published ten days ago : In concluding these observations of this branch of the inquiry (viz., the guarantees given to other lines as saectioned by Act of Parliament), your Committee ex press their deliberate conviction that the fate of the original stcck der ends materially upon a reduction be ing effected in tie terms t f the guarantees and other preferable c:aims, for if they are sustained the entire earning (f the line will not he sufficient to defray them, and nit parties concerned will be involved in serious liti gation and loss:—Report, p. 7.

The Chamber of Deputies on the 15th rejected, by a majority of 150 to 87, the proposition of Senor NOCIEDAL, to restrict the operation of the Bill autho rising the Ministers to levy taxes to the month of March only. On the'l6th the Chamber debated an amendment of M. MORON, declaring that the Govern ' merit should be authorised to levy the taxes subject to the condition that - a tax of 10 per cent: ad valorem should be placed on wines and brandies, instead of the octroi duties; that the expenses of the depart ments of war, finance, and the interior should be lessened by 100,000,000 reals, and that 50,000,000 reals should be devoted to public works. M. MoaoN was speaking when the post-office closed. It was not doubtel that his amendment would be rejected. At the commencement of the sitting the Chamber adopted, without discussion, the following Bill rela tive to railways:— " While waiting for the approbation and the sanction of the Bill on railways, presented by the Governmert, the latter may make or ratify provisional concessions,and in addition to the advantages, franchises, and ex emptions accorded by former decrees, guarantee an inte rest f 6 per cent., and I per cent. for the sinking fund of the capitals, placed and to be placed in the railways in course of construction, or which may be to be con structed, on the fAlowing conditions:—lst. The enter prises to which this guarantee shall be conceded shall be subject to the conditions which shall be instated in the law on railways ; 2d. The Govern merit shall only. give t) the unertakings the in terest thus guaranteed so long as the works shall tontinur., at.d the difference t etween the interest and the produce of the working when the latter shall be less; 3d. The undertakings shall not have a right to the payment of the interest guaranteed, when, by the fault of the companies, the working shall cease; 4th. The I per cent. shall continue to be paid by the Government until the capital shall be paid off, or the repurchase of the railway by the State." A Madrid letter of the 16th states that intelligence had been communicated by the Portuguese Minister to the Government, that Don Mover. intended to embark from England, to place himself at the head of his partisans in Portugal, and thereupon the Spanish Government bad sent orders to all the authorities of the frontier and on the coast to exercise the strictest vigilance, and if possible arrest the Portuguese Pre tender. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin of the 18th states that the difficulties which had arisen between the KING and the Chambers relative to the modifications in the Constitution demanded by his MaJasTr bad not only not been settled, but had become more complicated. Great anxiety prevailed at Berlin. M. RADOWITZ, one of the members of the Central Commission of Frankfort, had beep summoned to Berlin by telegraph, to.advise in the crisis, and General PEUCKER had been named to replace him. The Austrian Government published on the 15th the Constitution of the province of Silesia. The Duke of NASSAU arrived at Vienna on the 15th to visit his sick brother , and it was said that the King of 11.szi ov na would visit that city in the spring.Accordingki to the Augsrg Gazelle, another con stitution is about to be conferred on Germany--Ba varia, ItVirtemburg,. Hanover, and Saxony having, in conjunction with. Austria, agreed on the fun damental bases of one to be promulgated by them jointly. The Assembly of Citizens of Flamburgh on the 17th rejected, by 425 .to 858, the fundamental law, drawn up by a commission, in the place of the consti tution of the Constituent Assembly, which was also rejected by the citizens? For the last four years the citizens cf Hamburgh have been endeavouring to draw up a new constitution without success. Letters frbm Hamburgh of the 18th state that the armistice between Denmark and Prussia, for, the suspension of hostilities in the Duchies of Schleswig- Holstein expired on the 17th, and that it had not been prolonged, nor had any notice been given for putting an end to it. In the Duchies great agitation prevailed. In the Chamber of Deputies at Kiel a motion had been made, and warmly supported, to break of negotiations with Denmark, and to march the army of Holstein into Schleswig. At Angeln a battalion of the Swe dish troops had to suppress a revolt. The pea sants refused to pay taxes except to the Provisional Government at Kiel. HOLLAND. A letter from the llague, of the 18 t h, states, that the difficulties which had arisen with respect to the n.arriage Lf the Hereditary Prince of SWEDEN with the Princess FREDERIC/ of the Netherlands have been removed by the intervention of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and that Count- BOIINTSJERNA, Aide-de- Camp of the King of SwEnEri j „ had arrived at the Hague, to cause the formal affiancing of the Prince and Princess. lONIAN ISLANDS. We 'have received Corfu journals up to the sth. The Pains states that the e l ec t o ral law, modified so as to be in accordance with the changes introduced into the Constitution, has been adopted by the Senate and the Chambers, and that the Constitutional re ',forma are to be submitted to the approval of her Ma- Ne ' 4 4 8 4 , 41, ' 11, 1 lu, 1 i 14: t o lifil, ita
