A crowning act of retribution has, within the last f' - w sblys., fallen upon the surviving accom plices in the i n f amous p l ot of the Spanish m arr i ages . NAltirAE 2 has been suddenly compelled to throw down the sword of his dictatorship at Madrid, andseek refuge from destruction by an ignominious flight to Bayonne. The incident is fraught with a terrible • ' sigtuficamce to all those shtesmen who have placed reliance on the slippery principles of intrigue. It is suggestive to them of the consequences inevitable upon every such detestable and pernicious t; po.icy—results certain complete every similar career of mingled arro gance and duplicity, no matter how firmly estab .lished according to appearances. A little .whil a er , o, and of all the administrators in Chris tendom no uric seemed to be more semarely fixed at the head of the Government than the insolent and dorniccering soldier who has so long held at Ma drid the reins of the Executive authority. His nnly xrr'agon*st at one period was the Consort of his ~.,o-vl"lc'N, v1 "Ic'N, a Prince of feeble understanding and va cillating temperament, effete and impotent to all ext.brit such as rendered him an abject at once con temptible and ridiculous. All that was required (luring this interval by the Chief Minister of ISABELLA If, was a certain ad • rottness of demeanour towards that Monarch herself, and a readycompli a nce with her many sensual caprices. So, at least, was it said to be by the majority of those individuals who chanced to be acquainted with the Court of the Spanish capital, or, at any rate, Who affected to b familiar with the morals of the • r elB'ning dynasty. According to them V .I.,ARTAZZ pad no very difficult THE :zame to pray in order that the young QUEEN might b 3 induced to abandon altogether to his individual keeping the powers of the general Administration. Provided her voluptuous festivities were not inter fered with, provided she were not compelled to live in her palace after the manner of a model wili, like our own good Queen VICTORIA ; provided, in short, her MAJeSTY were permitted to treat the KING CONSORT with a capricious and whimsical indifference. instead of maintaining even a decent semblance of domesticity, the soldier•statesman might gratify all his political whims and intrigues without incurring punishment, and almost without encoun • tering opposition. During most of these dark and sinister months of Ministerial despotism, the ally of NARVAEZ was no other than the QUEEN-MOTHER herself, one of the most terrible, because one of the most successful, accomplices in conspiracies of this particular character. Aided by CHRISTINA and tolerated by ISABELLA, the Prime Minister, NARVAEZ, contrived to preserve his balance at the head of affairs in the Peninsula, even throughout the whole of that tremendous epoch when statesmen and princes were, toppled down by the " mind-quake" of revo lution. Soldier after soldier was prostrated in the various countries of the European Continent, hurled dawn from power by the fury of popular excitement. WINDISCHGRATZ was disgraced in Austria ; WEAN. GEL was reduced to insignificance in Prussia ; SAL DANHA was worsted in Portugal ; Bt'GEAUD was deprived of his potential influence in France ; PEPE was compelled at last, after a gallant struggle, to fling by his sword within sight of the domes and bridges Of Venice; DEMBINSKI was necessitated to lower Li s standard before the innumerable Cossacks under PASKEWITCH ; while in the classic island of Theo cratus the heroic followers of MIEROWSLAWSKI were massacred, after a desperate resistance, by the Nea politan cut-throats commanded by FILANGIERI. Since those memorable events transpired other changes of a like character have occurred in the neighbouring Republic—where we have witnessed the succesive descent from power of such men as CAVAIGNAC and CHANGARNIER. Meanwhile NARVAEZ still kept himself uppermost in the Govern ment of the Spanish Monarchy, in spite of insur rectionary movements in Madrid, and of the appear ance of the redoubtable CABRERA in Catalonia. An uninterrupted series of successes seemed to assure to him the undisputed possession of command over the political affairs of Spain. The temporary estrangement from England, formidable as that cir cumstance was in favouring the views of his open enemies and secret antagonists, failed to shake even for a time the strong foundations of his Dictatorship. As an additional marvel in the remembrance of the career recently completed by NARVARZ, we should not omit to observe that be himself and the Queen- Mother, CHRISTINA, were the only personages involved in the carrying out of the ever detestable Spanish marriages, who escaped with impunity from the vengeance wreaked elsewhere by subsequent events on their accomplices. LOUIS PHILIPPE, the arch-offender, was hurled down from the Throne of the Barricades at the very moment when he foolishly imagined himself to hold most se curely in his grasp the obedience of thirty-five millions of Frenchmen. GUIZOT was com pelled to escape in the disguise of a foot man from that capital in which but a few hours before his word was in the fullest sense of the phrase most authoritative. The whole fabric of the ORLEANS dynasty crumbled away like sand before the Nemesis conjured up by the very crime which had been perpetrated with a view to its aggrandise ments. And still in the midst of these gigantic mutations of fortune, in the very thick of these fast coming and iresistible occurrences, NaoavAez pre served an unconquerable attitude, while GUIZOT was residing at Brompton, and LOUIS PHILIPPE at Claremont. At length, however, the bitter draught of expiation has been required from the rough and ready" soldier of Madrid. The fact of his recent downfall, though long delayed, had been long anticipated. The retribution of the origi nators of the Spanish marriages has only now to destroy one other victim, and that the most heinous and despicable of all—CnaisTixA. A short time since we announced that the usual circulars had been dispatched, urgently requesting the attendance of those Members who give a general sup port to the Government on the 4th of February, the day of the opening of the approaching Rolla:Tient ssy session. There are indeed many questions of intense interest to be submitted for the consideration of the hereditary Legislators and of the chosen representa tives of the people on that occasion. The remanets standing over from last year alone constitute a formi dable mass of business to be disposed of, and they un questionably have a prior claim to the attention of both Houses. The Ministers can, of course, insure a full discussion and a decision on the merits for all mea sures brought forward under their own auspices ; but there are matters of great importance introduced by private Members for which there is no such security, and which may be lost, or held over, for yet another year, if their friends do not exhibit the utmost zeal and activity in passing them through the earlier stages of their progress. There is, perhaps, no other measure, the result of which is looked for with such deep and painful anxiety by many "families of religious and moral character," as the Marriages Bill, to which we have repeatedly directed the public attention. They feel the happiness of their future lives to be involved in the issue ; they believe themselves to be the victims of a partial, oppressive, and intolerant law, by which the civil and religious liberty of the subject is re• stricted in a matter of the most vital importance, re lating to the most sacred and endearing relationship of their entire lives. Deeply aggrieved at this odious enactment, and knowing that it is not based on any scriptural warrant or foundation, but that it is a merely human device, to which it is as unreasonable to expect general obedience and concurrence as it would be to look for perfect conformity in religious tenets, they respectfully and temperately demand redress from the British Parliament, asking that the obnoxious statute may be repealed, and that all who may have contracted such marriages since its enactment may be placed in the same situation as. if it had never existed, but that all such nuptials may be declared binding and valid ab initio. This is no new proposition, taking the Parliament or the country by surprise. It has already been fully discussed, both within and outside the walls of St. Stephen's, and the verdict of the grand inquest of the nation has been delivered, acknowledging, in unequi vocal and indisputable terms, the justice and equity of the demand. In June, 1847, the question was brought before the House of Commons, and, in consequence of an address then carried by a decisive majority, a Royal Commission was appointed " to inquire into the state and operation of the law of marriage, as re lating to the prohibited degrees of affinity, anti to marriages celebrated abroad or in the British colonies." The Commissioners, whose names and well-known qualifications afforded the most satisfactory evidence of their competence for the efficient discharge of the important trust confided to their care, having ex • amined many respectable and intelligent witnesses, and made every inquiry which the nature of the sub ject demanded, published their report, which was unequivocally condemnatory of the present law; they showed that "marriages of the kind are permitted, by dispensation, or otherwise, in nearly all the conti nental states of Europe," that "in many, indeed most of the American states, marriages between a man and the sister of his former deceased wife are not only deemed, in a civil sense, lawful, but are deemed, in a moral, re4ious, and Christian sense, lawful and exceedingly praiseworthy." Inds ed, the late eminent and distinguished Judge STORY, who had acquired the highest reputation not only through out the entire New World, but also throughout the whole of Europe, in discussing the subject sail, " Nothing is more common in almost all the States of America than second marriages of this sort, and so far from being doubtful as to their moral tendency, t, icy are among us deemed the very best sort of mu m' iges. In my whole life I never heard the slightest suggestion against them, founded on moral or domestic considerations." The Commissioners also declared that " the various ( I R dies of Dissenters in England do not appear to enter tai a the opinion that these marriages are interdicted by Ho ty Writ, or that they are in themselves reprehensible," and that g‘ families of a religious and moral character 5,0 N DOM FRIDAY .EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1851. had in several instances, where such,:connexions had taken place among themselves, or their friends, been perfectly satisfied, upon a consideration of the whole subject, that such marriages were not objectionable either in a religious or moral point of view." In ad dition to these points, which should be decisive on' the subject—for why should the Dissenters of Eng land, a numerous, religious, and influential body of men, be bound by the scruples of some " Tracta rian" parsons of the Church of England, or of those who have on trivial grounds, and without sufficient care, adopted their paltry prejudices ; for be it remem bered, that the Commissioners were persuaded that " comparatively few either of the clergy or laity, have carefully considered the subject, unless when circumstances have forced it upon their attention ?" we further find that the Act is practically a dead letter—that it does not prevent the formation of such connexions, nor would they be largely increased if the prohibition were entirely abrogated, and every person was allowed to act in this, the most important transaction of his entire life, in the manner which in his soul and conscience he believed to be right. The Commissioners declared that " on a review of the subject in all its bearings and effects, they were constrained not only to express their belief that the statute, 5 and 6 William IV., had failed to attain its object, but also to express their doubt whether any measure of a prohibitory character would prove effectual," adding emphatically, " these marriages will take place where a concurrence of circumstances give rise to mutual attachment—they are not dependent on legislation." This admirable report continued before the country without any reasonable objection being urged thereto. Early in the session of 1849 a measure was intro duced, founded on its suggestions. This was met by the most vexatious and factious opposition, every means being adopted to retard its progress. The Fabian policy, unfortunately, proved but too suc cessful. Although every disputed point was carried by large and decisive majorities, and the Bill passed through Committee unscathed and unmutilated, its promoter was obliged to consent to its p9stponement when it reached the third reading, and the parties personally to submit, to their sad disappointment, to the " Hops deferred, which maketh sick the heart," for another year. In 1850, it was again brought forward in the first week of the session, but the same line of opposition was pursued, and although it passed through all its stages in the Commons, and was introduced into the House of Lords, it was con sidered by some of its supporters to be too late for the session, and the same untoward result, another postponement, created bitter disappointment in the minds of the people. This year it is to be introduced in the Upper House, that it may there receive the fullest discussion. As its principle and details have already received the sanction of the popular branch of the Legislature, as it has already been debated in that assembly usque ad nauseam, we have no doubt that the arrangement is judicious, and we most sincerely hope that it may crown with success the reasonable expectations of the people. We cannot conclude without entreating the atten tion of our readers to a letter from an esteemed cor respondent " ALFRED," which will be found in another part of this day's impression, and which places the matter in the clearest light. I: is well worthy of perusal. THE FRENCH REPUB MC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The debate on the vote of censure on Ministers proposed by M. LAISJUINAIS commenced on Wednes day, and was adjourned to the following day, after five Members had apoken, the two most important of whom were M. BAROCHE and M. JULES DE LAS TEYEIE. The following is an abstract of the speech of the Minister of the Interior : M. Baroche said he bad tusisted at the fourth review, and was ready to admit that seditious cries had been uttered by a few me❑ and companies. He had never denied that, but what he denied before the Committee was that those cries had been encouraged, or that any disorders had occurred after the review. This fact re sulted from the inquiries he had ordered. The Minister then examined if the charge of having laboured to lessen the consideration of the Assembly was founded; and yet it was before the majority such a charge was preferred! And what were the acts of the Ministry incriminated? It could not be the law on public instruction, the elec toral law, and the :law on the press, which had been ratified by the Assembly. All the acts of the Executive had been sanctioned by its votes and by public opinion. Should he not also have felt astonishment and intlii;na ti)n, when during the prorogation three members of the Permanent Committee waited upon him to cowplsin of his neglecting to adopt measures to prevent the realiza tion of an imaginary plot denounced by the Committee? Should he not feel indignant at being suspected of parti cipation in such an attempt, if it had been serious and real? M. Baroche then reminded the Assembly of its enthusiastic reception of the message of the President of the Republic, which had been regarded as a pledge of reconciliation calculated to avert for a long time all causts of division between the powers. He next ex amined the theory of responsibility developed by M. Laejuinais in his report, and contended that its authors meant to strike higher than the Cabinet. The Minister then stat =el that the suppression of the double command given to General Ccarigarnier, which one of the speakers had described as a constitutional guarantee—(Laughter) —was resolved upon long before the vote of the 31 of January. That vote had nit hastened the measure; on the contrary, the breaking up of the Cabinet and the re construction of another had retarded it by some days. The double command had becOme a third power between the only two recognised by the Constitution. "He was an obstacle," cried M. Rouyn Trancbace. " An obstacle to what?" retorted M.l3Aroche. " An obstacle to the criei of Vive I'Empereur," ex claimed M. Trencher°, " He was not always an obstacle," replied M. Baroche, " and I only refer the Assembly to the cries uttered at the review held in May, 1849, by the President of the Republic and General Changarnier. Those cries were then regarded as constitutional, and are now declared to be prohibited by military regulations."—(Laughter.) Did General Changarnier publish his order of the day of the 2d November between the third and fourth re views? No, the General proposed no measure of repres sion. The Assembly was jealous of the free and full exercise of its constitutional rights. Why should not the Executive feel the same desire? The provisions of the decree of the 13th of June, 1849, were formal. The exorbitant authority placed in the hands of the General %as to cease the moment tranquillity was restored i❑ Paris. No ! That act was not an attempt against the dignity of the Assembly. As respected the idea of re storing the Imperial regime, the oath taken by the Pre. sident of the Republic, and renewed in his Message, victoriously refuted such a suspicion. The President would continue to accomplish his duty, and nothing but his duty. Ha had pledged his honour, and would redeem his plertlge. His affirmation and past conduct were the bast guarantees he could offer against the alleged dan gers the Constitution was said to be exposed to from his government.—(Bravos throughout the hall.) The semi-official Patric has the following an nouncement : " A report was circulated to-day that in consequence of a revolution in the Palace, General NarvaEz, the President of the Council of Ministers, had fled from Madrid for fear he should be arrested." M. Ducos, the Minister of Commerce, is seriously indisposed. General LAHITTE has returned to his old post of chief of the Commission of Artillery. The prosecution of the Governor of Clichy by CLIERON, the creditor at whose suit M. MAUGUIN was imprisoned, came on for hearing on Wednesday. The Court acquitted the Governor, on the ground that he had not delivered up his prisoner until threa tened with the employment of the public force, and condemned CHEEON in costs. M. LAMAETINE denies the assertion of the Evenement that he had been offered the Embassy to London. The Bourse was dull, and there was not much business transacted. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 150., fell to 941. 85c., and closed at 941. 90c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 561. 95e.; the New Loan at 941. 85c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 855 f.; Great Northern, 468 f. 75c.; Avignon, 190 f.; Vierzon, 385 f. ; Basle, 141 f. 25c.; Bor deaux, 3951. ; Paris and Strasburg, 351 f. 25c. ; Tours and Nantes, 2471'. 50c.

Itespecling the announced Congress of Continen tal Monarchs at Dresden, the spontlenz states that such a rumour ruapntl!i)rtne unfounded. d orre- The news of the arrangement between Austria u and Pru!sie, respecting the formation of a Central Exe cutive Power, is published by the K o ner and the Rheinisch Westfalische Zeitung. The latter paper states from B er li n t h at Baron MANTEUFFELS journey to Dresden has sufficed to conquer the dissensions of the first committee of the Dresden Congress, and that everything has been satisfactorily settled respecting the Central Executive Power. The debate on this subject is said to have been protracted and violent, but in the end all con 'Tiding opinions were reconciled by an anxiety to provide for the safety of Germany, and to guard against the dangers which the German powers appre hend from the still unsettled condition of France. A well-informed Berlin correspondent of the Kolner Zeitnng states that the future Central Power is to consist of nine states or groups of states (Factoren), with 11 votes, of which Austria and Prussia will each have four. The Central Power will have an army of 135,000 men at its dispostl, and to this army Austria and Prussia will furnish 30,000, Bavaria 15,000, the other kingdoms 10,000 nen each ; while the sma►ler states will be called upon to furnish contingents which shall correspond with their strength and im portance.. - According to the Dresden papers, Prince SenWART. ZENBERG was to leave that city on the 13th. ITALY. Letters from Rome of the 7th announce that the Minister of the Interior has addressed a circular to the Prefects of provinces for the immediate convoca tion of the Municipal Commissioners, to form lists of the electors and the eligible for the nomination of new Councillors. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXC HAN GE.-(FRIDAY.) During the present week the arrivals of English Whe it up to our market coastwise have been very moderate, viz. 1,690 quarters, chiefly from Essex, and in very middling condition, arising from the prevailin4 damp weather. The supply fresh up to-day by land carriage was limited, hence the show of samples of both red a❑d white was small. Selected Wheats changed hands at prices quite,cqual to those obtained on Mon day; but all other kinds were dull in the extreme. This week's imports of Forei,gn Wheat have amounted to 8,020 quarters. On the whole, the importers of fine qualities were firm; but the amount of business transacted was wholly confined to immediate wants at late rates. Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was on the decrease, the demand for that grain, if we except the finest malting parcels, ruled heavy . at barely last week's prices. Ma't, the supply of which was small, moved off heavily at late figures. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of Oats have reached us from Ireland, but the arrivals of English and foreign are moderate. The trade ruled dull, at Monday's quotations. In all other articles we have no change to report. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Malt. Oats. 1 Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

Owing to the prevailing mild weather, and the thin attendance of buyers, the Beef trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at barely Monday's quotations. With Sheep we were but moderately supplied. All breeds move.l off slowly, but we have no actual fall to notice in prices. The primest old Downs produced 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was small, were extremely inactive, at late rates. In Pigs so littla was doing that the currencies were 'almost nominal. Mulch Cows were quoted 141 to 181 each, in cluding their small calf. THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS Railways. raid. Aberdeen.. .. • • • • Do. Preference • • Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 2,500 bales, comprising 1,850 American, 200 Pernam cud Maranham at Bd. to 84d., 150 Egyptian at Sil. to 9,1., and 300 Surat at sd. to s:id. per lb. The market closed heavily, and all descriptions were per lb. lower, and at this decline the number of sellers were on the increase.—ln Railway Shares a further decline took place. The Corn Market is dull to-day. Just at the moment when the commercial world were buoyed up with the hopes of seeing the protracted struggle between the Republics on the banks of the River Plate brought to a conclusion they have been wofully disappointed, by preparations for a renewal of hostilities of a more formidable character, to the great interrup tion of our commercial intercourse with two States, with which, on their separation from the mother country, we expected to derive considerable mercantile intercourse. These expectations have not hitherto been realized, in consequence of the feuds which, unfortunately, arose in the Oriental Republic, from two of its most conspicuous and influential chiefs, Generals Fructuoso Riveira and Oribe, contending for the Presideucy; the latter having been expelled before the term of his Presidentship ex pired, he appealed to the Governor-General of the pro vince at Buenos Ayres, Rosas, who readily put 12,000 men at Oribe's disposal, with a view, it is asserted, of making the Oriental State a member of his so-called "Argentine Confederation," had Oribe's attack on Monte Video proved successful. Foiled in attaining this object, and equally disap pointed in uniting the former Spanish provinces of Pa ragua, Entre-Rios, and Corrientes under his control and dictatorship, he pretends that his failure has been occa sioned through the influence and interference of the Brazils, and now seeks to embroil the Government and people of that empire in the dissensions which have so long distracted the countries over which he has any in fluence, or exercises any authority. The subjoined extracts from General Santa Cruz's (ex-President of Colombia and Peru) famous letter to General Roses, will exhibit the latter's intrigues and ambitious designs in their true colours, and at the same time confirm what has been above stated : " It is greatly to be lamented, when, through the in tervention of the two most powerful European States (whose subjects were chiefly interested in the trade with Buenos Ayres and Monte Video), the pacification of those two republics is on the eve of being effected, and the navigation of the River Plate of being freed from all impediments, should again be subjected to interrup tion, if not annihilation, for the moment, in consequence of a rupture betwixt Brazils and Buenos Ayres, arising from causes which there was every prospect of seeing removed by the cessation of the civil war in the Oriental Republic. " When the independence of the latter was acknow ledged by Brazils and the principal Powers of Europe, and its integrity guaranteed, a great many Brazilian subjects remained in possession of extensive estates they had previously acquired and occupied, principally fur the rearing of cattle in the Pampas' of that Republic. On the arrival of Oribe with his troops from Buenos Ayres he took possession of the country in the vicinity of those Brazilian agricultural establishments, which he plundered, and expelled the proprietors. All remon strance on the part of the Brazilian Government having 'been unheeded and unanswered, a party of those Brazilians thus despoiled and ruined, joined by some of the Orientals themselves, endea voured to retaliate, and in their turn made incursions into the territories of the Oriental Republic occupied by Oribe and his followers; the Brazilian Go vernment, however, put a stop to those annoyances; but Rosati having made an arrangement with England, and in prospect of one with France, which would place him, be imagined, in a more advantageous position, has bid defiance to Brazil, in the hope of drawing more closely the connexion between him and the other republics bor dering on that empire, expecting they would make common cause with him; the contrary, however, has been the case, Paraguay having already co-operated with Brasil, whilst the troops under the command of Urqueze in Corrientes and Entre-Rios have refused to joiu Oribe's forces, on pretence of not having the means of making any movement. thus evading the execution of the orders they had received from Rosas; and no doubt should hostilities actually commence they will side with the strongest party, which, from all that has transpired as to the comparative means or sinews of war possessed by both parties, will certainly prove to be Brazil, whose superior end efficient naval armament will give her the command of the estuary of La Plata, whilst her in creasing resource:, and turn of the scale as to the be lances of trade in her favour (fully indicated by the rise in her exchanges and influx of the precious metale), will enable her Government to sustain her credit unimpaired and unimpeached as hitherto. " Buenos Ayres, on the contrary, with a falling off of commerce, troops no longer able to live on plunder, an ill-equipped and inferior marine, an empty Treasury, and a paper currency at its lowest ebb, left to fight her own battles, will not long be able to contend against such odds; it is therefore to bo hoped that should hostilities really be resorted to, they will not be of long duration; perhaps the operations will be confined to a blockade of Buenos Ayres and its immediate dependencies, to the great detriment, however, for the time being, of our merchants and others concerned in the trade with that country, if not with Monte Video, whose Government de facto will afford Brazil every possible assistance." Extracted from the letter of General Santa Cruz, ex- President of Bolivia and Peru to General Roses, Go vernor- General of Buenos Ayres, dated Paris, May 10, 1850: " What pretext can you have for meddling in the in ternal affairs of Bolivia, seeing you are only Governor of one of the Argentine provinces? What can there be of material interest between Bolivia and Buenos Ayres ? " The title you arrogate to yourself, without any for mal appointment of Chief of the Argentine Confede ration, you would extend to other neighbouring coun tries, which are respectively twice, four, or six times larger than the province under your sway. " When you are not in actual warfare with other statee, your relations with them have always been sus picious. The Empire of Brazil,' continually agitated by your maehinatioes, is obliged to be constantly on her guard to frustrate them. The Republic of Uraguay (Oriental Republic), whither you sent an army to put down the Government de jure, and set up in its stead one of your notorious Mesorqueiros,' would certainly not desire you for its representative. Nor would Pa raguay' be more desirous of your being so. The Re public of Chili, whose commerce is interrupted by your arbitrary proceedings, can never consent to be subject to the governor of Buenos Ayres, much less can you flatter yourself with obtaining the vote of Bolivia. " I shall not dwell on Peru, and other Republics of the'north placed beyond the reach of your contamination. Neither of those have any acredited agents, even at Buenos Ayres. "I would ask you on what grounds you found your pretensions? You who never performed any services to America? You who never was present at any battle, nor took any part whatever in the glorious struggle for American independence, and are only known from acts of barbarity recorded in the history of our civil wars. You, in fine, who have done nothing but to render deso late the state which, unfortunately, submitted to your sway. Can you claim any right to a preference, or even consideration, from the Republics of South America? " What has been the fate of the provinces subject to your authority? Are there any establishments for the education or employment of the people, or any other useful public works erected in your time in either of them? So far from it, those have disappeared which previously existed. "Instead of increasing the population and promoting their prosperity, according to the impulse given thereto by the noble Revadavia,' you have depopulated the country. "You have alienated, by such policy the sympathies in Europe, which ought to be cultivated and appreciated, in order to attract that immigration of labour so neces sary for the development of the riches which lie con cealed in our deserts, and to fertilize our uncultivated woods and forests." The letters by the Overland Mail are construed as fa vourable upon the whole, but the scarcity of money will lead to continued shipments of silver from Europe. Great credit is due to the London agency of the North-Western Bank of India for having detected the frauds of its secretary at Calcutta, Major Angelo. The deficiency of that officer amounts to about 12,000/, and his securities have been called upon to make good the amounts for which they are liable. It is not true that the deficiency arises from having to meet the losses previous to 1847. Those were long since covered from the reserved fund and deduction from dividends. The following is the circular of the di rectors:— " In consequence of the discovery of deficiencies car ried on by apparent fictitious entries in the books of the bank, as detailed below, and made under authority of Major Angelo's own handwriting, to the extent of RI. 1 ,12,520.5.9, exclusive of interest, the directors of N. W. Bank of India have deemed it imperative on them to suspend Major Angelo from his °iliac of secre tary and agent, have sent the deputy secretary, Mr.C. B. Wood, to take charge of the Calcutta agency, have called their Mussoorie Agent tl Meerut to take charge of the Bank, and directed Major Angelo to return to Meerut. _ "The directors have called on Major Angelo's secu rities to be prepared to meet deficien c i es to t h e extent of their bond, they will also adopt every lawful me-- sure to secure the bank from ultimate loss?"

Barbadoes by auction realised 42s 61 to 43s 61 for good, and 41s to 42s for mid. REFINED.—Grocery lumps have been sold at 504 to 525. The stock is getting larger. EAST INDlA..—Mauritius has been offered sparingly at auction, and has barely supported former prices; yellow 37s to 411, and fine brown 363t0 36a 6d. Native Madras, 1,309 bags went Is lower; ord yellow, 30s to 30s 61; common to fine brown, 28.) 6ti to 30s; and mid and ord grocery yellow, 37s to 38s 6].

Plantation also is dearer, sales having been made at 56s 6d to 60s for low mid and mid, and at 61s 6d to 63s 61 for good; triage, 38s to 555. Mocha has realised full rates to a slight advance; mid and good, 61s to 653; tfir.ge, 42s to 475; and long-berry, 69s 61 to 725. Costa Rica, for a few bales, has realised 45s to 46.6.1.

Oranges of all kinds are lower, and in creases the sale, three cargoes of St. Michael and one from Terceira, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at a reduction of 2s to 3s per box. The short crop of Lemons is confirmed, and renders holders indifferent to pressing sales. Black Spanish are nearly off the market. Barcelona are a shade higher. Brazil dull of sale. Chesnuts in the same depressed state as reported last week. - - THE MARBLE ARCH.—The arrangements for the erection of the marble arch at the Cumberland-gate entrance to Hyde-park will, it appears, be carried into effect with an extraordinary degree of dispatch. The necessary excavations and formation of the foundations are proceeding rapidly. THE VACANT SEATS. --The elections for the coun ties of Bedford and South Nottingham will take place on or about the 12th of February. The time for holding that for the Falkirk Burghs, vacant by Lord Lincoln's elevation to the Peerage, cannot be ascertained until the usual notifica tion of the circumstance be gazetted under the Speaker's hand. In each of the cases the course of proceeding has been assimilated by the Act 24 Geo. 111., c. 2, subject to the pro cess for issuing the writ before the meeting of Parliament en suing the occurrence of the vacancy. SILK GOWNS.—We understand that a more than usually large number of applications have been made to the Lord Chancellor by gentlemen of the bar for silk gowns, but that at present his Lordship does not intend to accede to any of the applications.

BURMISTER (PUBLIC OFFICER) v. NORRIS (OFFICIO MANAGER). This action was tried b e fore Mr. B a ron Platt at Guildhall, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff WO' 1,4001. damages.

The c l il n e i v tion turned on the meaning of the deed, Oa, ° A 7„, point being as to how far the directors had tide° c s - ts . sistently with its provisions. The company was e n . a t Wished in 1836, and the directors opened an ac ct:ph with the London and Westminster Bank, with w"" they continued to deal up to the time of the c ompany being wound up under the Act. In 1842 they overfi ll : 1 their account, and the balance against the enniP * o L, augmented from year to year until it reached 12,00,... the amount sought to be recovered by the plaintla".. The shareholders did not deny that this money had bee; received by the directors from the bank, nor that it 115 ., been appli e d f or t h e p urposes o f t h e com p an y; but the; contended that the directors had exceeded their an tli - C e eg rity under the de e d, by b o rro w ing the money, and t' , the act of borrowing was not binding on the compapy. as a company. The only words in the deed bearing 0 n the authority of the directors were the following• . " The affairs and business of the company shall an under the sole and entire control of the directors," the verdict seemed to pass on the assumption that thiS was an implied authority to do everything ca rrying on the compa n y, an d among ot h e r things bor rowing money. Th e wor d s 4' affairs and businesa"c er. tainly could not b e construed i nto su ch a meaning when it was con s id ered that th i s was a mining emu' pray, for diggi ng and sellin ore, and for nothing els e • g nece ssary for The whole c a ll s on the s hares had been paid up, so d there was a p rov i s i on in the dee d t h at t h e di re ctors should have power to call a special general meeting for the purpose o f obtaining its consent to making ad dl. tional call s , if necessary, and that course had W es adopted, b u t nowhere in the deed was power g ive !! either by calling p a special meeting or otherwise, to borrow money ; and on these d the Lear l344s Counsel co ntended that be was roun s entitled to a rule for * new trial.

Rule absolute accordingly, QUEEN V. JUSTICES OF ItALESOVER. Mr. M. D. BILL moved the Court under the 11 an d 12 Vice, chap. 44, section commonly called Jervis. Il e a for a rule to sho w cause w h y the justices of Lielelf should not b e requ i re d to i ssue an order in bolas J o The case was this. An order in bastardy was In 0 upon a person n ame d D a il y . B y t h at order be vib .„, e called upon to p a y th e sum o f 2s. 6 d . per week t^n't mother. There was a p rov i s i on i n t h e 7 and 8 v under which the order was made, which enabled 1 11 „/ tices, if the application was ma d e w i th i n six weeks Paid the time of birth to order th e wee kl y sum to b e PS from the birth, but if the application was postponed b i s i ; yond that period then the power of the magistrates e limited to making the order for payment from I' d date of the application. Now, it aPP sare e, upon the face of the order in this ns s d e that the application to the magistrate was Ins. after the expiration of the limited time, and yet the 83 _,*;; gistratos ordered the putative father to pay from the a s, ' of the birth, instead of the date of the application. It . made the order defective, but not null, and the untg'd tr ates had therefore refused to enforce the order wit u°- the authority of this Court. Mr. Justi ce E RLE t h ought i t had been laid down that an order which was bad in part was bad in the whole' kg Mr. M. D. HI LL sa id t h ere were cases in the ll° where the Coutt had interfered to enforce parts of order d that were good, notwithstanding that defects aPlo ste upon the face of the order itself. could Mr. Justice ER LE r e mar k e d t h at i f such a ru l e coU be established, it would be highly salutary, but he had 6 , impression upou his m i n d t h at an order detective iu Pa r t was bad in the whole. Mr. M. D. BILL rmni n d e d hi s L ordsh i p that it had been decided that where a magistrate made an orde r retrospective when they had only power to make it Pro spective, the Court wou ld i nterfere to enforce t h e pro spective portion. N ow , t h at was a somewhat ana l o gun• cam to the present, and he hoped it was sufficient ent h°. rity to induce his Lordship to grant a rule nisi. Mr. Justice ELM--You may take a rule to 011°W cause.—Rule nisi accordingly.
