Madrid journals of the 23d and 24th have arrived. The QUEEN was expected in Madrid from Aranjuez, and the KING from the Prado on the 24th. The POPE'S Nuncio was to arrive in the capital on the 26th. The Government have, it is said, determined to recal Don MANUEL GoDoY, the Prince of Peace. Several Carlists who, since the fall of TRISTANY, have sought refuge in France, have been arrested and conveyed to the prison of Perpignan. Among them are CABECILLA GARROFA and the Estudiante of Grau. Letters from Badajoz state that one division of the army of observation had marched to Ciudad Rod rigo to watch the movements in the north of Por tugal. The Espanol strongly recommends that measures should be taken without delay to arrange the succes sion to the throne on the death of Queen ISABELLA, for it says the declared refusal of England to acknow ledge the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER, and the un derstood determination of France to support her, places Spain in a cruel and dangerous position. The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 24th. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The majority of M. GUIZOT, in the Chamber of Deputies is getting " small by degrees and beauti fully less." From 200, which it was in February, it has dwindled down, in the short space of four months, to 25, that being the majority by which, after a postponement of twenty-four hours, in order to give the Ministry an opportunity of whipping-in, the proposition of M. GLAIS BizoN for the introduc tion of an uniform rate of postage, was defeated. The Journal des Debats of Friday has the following on this subject : " Postal reform Was yesterday rejected by the Cham ber. In spite of the grave objection of inopportuneness, it nevertheless obtained 162 votes against 187. For • -r rnn coa in these manifestations_the certain sign of its early triumph. In the discussion of 1845 it bad 170 votes; it has only lost 8. It would this time have undoubtedly gained the victory, if it were not for the exceptional and difficult circumstances in which we find ourselves. We intend in nowise triumph at this vote. We regret that circumstances have rendered it necessary, and the Go vernment undoubtedly regrets it as much as we do ; there is besides a success for no one, unless it be for the good sense and wisdom of the Chamber. Our sympa thies were with the advocates of the reform ; we rejoiced at their efforts, and we applauded them ; but our reason and prudence placed us on the opposite party ; and if we could count all the members of the majority who were influenced by the same sentiments, the figure of 187 would find itself con siderably reduced. Let people, then, not deceive them selves. The Chamber is favourable to postal reform, as it was in 1845; its vote, to speak truly, is only an ad journment. It desires the reform, but it desires it at an opportune time. An attempt will certainly be made to misrepresent the conduct of the majority—it will be said that it is systematically to all hostile reform. We protest in advance against this interpretation. The majority has not voted postal reform, because it finds it inopportune in the present situation of our finances. It has not be lieved it right to subject the Treasury this very year to a loss, when this loss would have caused an equivalent diminution in the extraordinary budget of public works; that would have been to deprive poor families of work and bread; the majority would not associate itself to this policy, which it is very difficult for us to conci liate with the popular sympathies of which the Opposi tion vaunts incessantly. Such are the motives on which the majority founded the refusal of its support to the im mediate adoption of postal reform." In allusion to the plea of " inopportuneness" put forward by the Ministry as a reason for refusing postal reform, the Courrier Francais says— " The Debats declares the postal tax to be unequal and unconstitutional, and yet it feels itself called upon to demand the maintenance of it in contempt of the charter. It is true that it excuses itself on the ground of inoppor tuneness; but we know what that means. Ah! if the question was one of granting a subvention to companies of 80 millions, it would see no inconvenience in the pro position. We reason as we can in this world. Let us wait for the discussion on salt duty, and the Debats will return to its arguments about inopportuneness. The compere is not particular." The Presse thus concludes a long article, full o: bitter irony against M. Guizor— " Between this and the Ist of January, 1849, it may be certain that the uniform rate of postage will prevail, only that it will be to another Cabinet that the nation shall b© indebted for it." In the Committees M. Gmzor is betraying symp toms of conscious weakness. In all the Committees on the budgets the demands for credit have been modified. The Committees on the budget of Public Works and of the Marine have refused to report in favour of the extraordinary credits which the Ministers have declared to be indispensable; and the Committee on Algeria have added to their report an injunction to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to render to the Chamber, early in the next ses sion, an account of the manner in which the money voted has been disbursed, all of which modifications have been aecepted by M. GUIZOT. It is not improbable that the discovery of the wholesale corruption practised by the Ministry, as almost its sole instrument of Government, may have caused this falling off in the majority. General CUBIEBES is the evil genius of M. GUIZOT. The Patrie says— "The affair of General Cubilres is assuming a charac ter truly alarming for men placed in the higher regions of power. The most astounding disclosures have been made, and in a short time there will be a general sauce qui peat in the official world. The names of personages who from being judges may become accused are whis pered about—in short, the harvest of scandal is as abun dant as possible." The news from Greece, too, is likely to contribute to the embarrassments of M. GUIZOT. It would ap pear that Austrian influence is now paramount in the Court of Athens. The Journal des Debals of Saturday announces the fact that the mediation of Austria between the Greek Government and the Porte had been accepted. On this subject the Presse remarks : " Several letters received simultaneously from Trieste and Marseilles confirm and aggravate the accounts we publish from the Augsburgh Gazelle. Not only has Greece claimed the mediation of Austria, but she has declared herself ready to accept without restriction the conditions proposed two months since by that Power, and which imply the return, at least temporarily, of M. Mus surus to Athens, to receive an apology from M. Coletti. This is not the solution by which the French Govern ment wished to see the differences terminated. That which has befallen the Greek Government is a fresh and melancholy example of the value of our diplomacy. An imperial messenger, the bearer of this intelli gence, set out on the 19th from Vienna for Constanti nople." The Presse publishes the protocol of the four Powers, authorising intervention in the affairs of Portugal. The Presse and the anti-English papers consider this as an ainende made by M. GUIZOT to England, and attack him therefor accordingly. The Courrier Francais regards it as a crusade against liberty, but the Commerce, while considering the conduct of M. GUIZOT as a concession to England, approves of the principle of the intervention. It says— " We have not the slightest difficulty in admitting that this re-establishment of the Quadruple Alliance is, in present circumstances, an augury as fav oura bl e as unexpected. The action of France in Portugal ap peared lost in consequence of the conduct of the Absolutist party who gave birth to the coup d'etat of October last. This action now lifts its head again ; and we can only express our surprise and satisfacti on at the circumstance. We can even go farther, and re joice that Portugal is about to be, in one way or another, delivered from civil war. Struggles carried on for liberty are almost always glorious and fruitful of good; but when persisted in too long they turn into a misfor tune without compensation. Portugal now is about to escape from these afflicting and barren conflicts, and every well-thinking man will receive the news with satisfaction. We must, however, remark that the in tervention of France and Spain has not in this case all the importance that might at first be supposed. For what is the object of the intervention of the three Powers? To constrain the Junta of Oporto to accede to the conditions proposed by the Queen. But by whom were these conditions drawn up and presented? By Colonel Wylde, the agent of England. The three Powers consequently unite to execute the will of one of them. Let us put facts in the place of words; Franco and Spain, at the request of England, act to carry out the arrange ment which England has resolved to establish in Por tugal. It must be acknowledged that this is not a very glorious part for France and Spain to play; and this very secondary part will not be profitable to the two coun tries, for England alone, as justice demands, must gather the fruit 7. of an action which she has conceived, under taken, and almost executed!" Various intrigues are going on in Paris to coerce the Queen of SPAIN into obedience to the Afrancesado party, or in the event of ( himself start head of t he contu macy on h er part, to d epose h er an d proclaim her husband R egen t. N ARVAEZ i s, it is sa id, prepared t at a moment's Af r a n bidding of the French intriguers. The Constitutionnel says— intri ceswadaorsn,i warning, to do putthe " All is disorder, confusion, and scandal at the Court of Madrid. The Queen an& the King, after some quar rels and reconciliations, of which the public has for some time enjoyed the strarge spectacle, have again se parated with much noise, under pretence of a struggle for domestic authority. It is said that some Ministerial together with diplomatic irtrigues have complicated the quarrel. The word divorce' even has been men tioned. The Spanish journals enter into long disser tations on the fancies of the Queen, on the rights of the King, on the degree of conjugal power which ought to belong to the husband of the Queen after the abolition of the Salic law, and upon the possible consequences of a separation. The Moderados lean towards the husband. The Progres sistas bear an affection for the Queen. There are the Ministry of divorce,' 'the Ministry of conjugal obe dience," the Ministry of the free woman,' Generals as well as ambassadors, senators, and deputies, actively en gage in this political intrigue of the boudoir. The Con stitution has been gravely invoked on both sides—in the Comes as in the ante-chambers—in the press as well as on the royal couch. These are some of the conse quences of the great policy of Louis XIV. ; and our alliance of last year with Spain is, as may be seen, more noble, more pure, more solid, and more glorious than ever! To add a last touch to this picture, the Ministerial correspondence from Madrid of this day hazards the fol. lowing conjecture:—' It is said that the Spanish Govern ment proposes to recal Don Manuel Godoy, Panne of Nace, and to restore him a portion of his honours and his rank."' In the Chamber of Peers, on Saturday, in the dis cussion on the Secret service Bill, the Marquis DE BOISSY made a furious attack on the Ministerial diplo macy in the Peninsula. The debate had not con cluded at the hour of post. " We have been assured," says the Courrier Francais, " that the Duke de Broglie has refused the embassy to London, notwithstanding the entreaties of the Ministry. Should this announcement be confirmed, it will augment the difficulties of the situation of the Cabinet." Accounts from Algiers are to the 22d instant. The column of Marshal BUGEAUD was vigorously attacked by the Kabyles on the night of the 17th in the country of the Beni Abbes. " The fire of the Kabyles," writes the correspendent of the Debats, " was at first extremely brisk, and, as we remained in the camp, preparing our means of attack, they thought they had annihilated us. But at three o'clock A. 31. the drums beat to arms, two battalions re mained to guard the baggage and haversacks, and all the others rushing towards the heights, carried in suc cession several villages. The resistance was obstinate, c-- gr. 3, an." lages, containing manufactures of arms and gunpowder, were burnt. The casualties on the side of the Kabyles must have been considerable; for in the evening of that day their chiefs repaired to our camp to tender their sub mission, which was accepted. General Bedeau had effected his junction with the Marshal. He had been previously attacked with vigour, but the Kabyles had not thought proper to continue to oppose his passage. The particulars of that engagement have not reached us. It is believed that our troops will remain in that dis trict of Kabylia until the 15th of June, under the com mand of General Bedeau. On the 20th no account of further hostilities had been received at Bugia. The column of General Joussouf had returned to Algiers." ABD-EL-KADER is likely again to take the field He is in the district of Rif, the inhabitants of which have revolted against ABDERRHAMAN, and pro claimed ABD-EL-KADER Sultan. The squadron under the orders of Prince DE JOIN YILLE left Toulon on the 25th, and was in the e vening off the llyeres. Nothing positive was known as to its destination, but it is still reported at Toulon that the Prince, being dissatisfied with it, intended to resign the command in favour of Admiral DE MACKAU. The accounts received from all parts of France continued to represent the prospects of the harvest as most magnificent.

STR,—I have been lately sojourning at that delightful watering-place, Harrowgate, in Yorkshire, and now in tend spending a few weeks at this most delightful bathing place, where the sands are so extensive, and the arrivals of the various fishing-boats form an endless succession of amusement. _ In return for the amusement and instruction your "broad sheet" has so often afforded me during my tour, and which I am glad to tell you is to be seen almost everywhere, I have thought an impartial account of the state of the crops, and general prospects of the country, might not be unacceptable to your readers. I say "impartial," because I am neither a " big far mer," holding back my corn from the hard-working poor man, nor am I engaged in the importation of corn, and, consequently, interested in keeping up the artificial high prices. I assure you, Sir, in defiance of w h a t h as b een sa id and w ritten, that there is a plenty o f o ld w h ea t i n t hi s country.

A fortnight ago I met with three farmers of this descrip tion, who agreed the first week in June, to send, each of them, 300 quarters of wheat to the market. I know of one "bull frog'' who has above 4,000 quarters of wheat now by him, and there are several who have their hun dreds of quarters. The last week, near Ipswich, there was a fire of nine wheat stacks, but, singular enough, I have not seen au account of it in any of the papers, although my friend, who is a man of veracity, also told me, that the fire was preceded by a notice to the effect, " that if the corn was not threshed out, and sent to the market it would be de!troyed." thank God, the crops look in the most beautiful and prosperous condition. In Yorkshire the pastures are most blooming ; the spring corn and wheat are the same. In the broad corn lands of Lincolnshire it is incredible what the last fortnight has done, and in Nor folk you behold a perfect garden. Depend upon it the harvest will not be a late one. Not much is said about the forthcoming election be yond the great desire to see clever and fresh men in the next Parliament. At Harrowgat:i all the talk was about the neighbouring borough of Kaaresborough, so long and ably represented by Sir James Mackintosh and the Right Hon. George Tierney, and in the last Parliament by a Mr. Lawson and Mr. Ferrand. In addition to the late Members, there is now offering himself the Hon. W. S. Lascelles, brother to the E&rl of Harewood, who holds large property adjoining the town. Mr. Lascellas has long been Member for Wakefield, therefore his fitness is pretty well known. His brother's influence will pro bably save the breeches pocket at Wakefield. There is also a Mr. Whitehouse, a Manchester manu facturer offering himself, and he has addressed the elec tors like a man of business. Several of the electors, however, are anxious for their cwn townsman, Mr. John Foster, to offer himself, of whom it was said, by the late Mr. Cobbett, " that a more efficient man of business did not exist." I have heard now and then a strong feeling expressed that the late Member for Colchester, Mr. D. W. Harvey, should be again in Parliament. Many people say he was not well treated by the Whigs, and that man of great talent s o ug h t to be pulled forward at this particular crisis. Depend upon it, Sir. that the Bank Charter Bill, of 1844, is now only beginning to be felt. In the end we must have either one-pound notes or equitable adjustment. We ought surely in many years of peace to find time for the certainty of war, and probably at no very remote period. - Being an idle man I have time to read and think more than persons whose time is occupied with business, and if this letter is acceptable to you I will write again.—l am, Sir, your friend and CONSTANT REAPER Yarmouth, 29th May, 1847. THE PITT CLUB.—The anniversary of the Pitt Club was celebrated on Saturday at the London Tavern, and was both fully and most respectably attended. The Hon. Captain: Duncombe, R.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000 bales, with a very steady market. In Railway Shares a large business was done, at considerably advanced rates, and the market was still looking up. The advices received to-day from the United States and Canada have been the all engrossing subject of conversation, and there is no difference of opinion, as far as we can learn, with respect to its importance and its favourable tenour. All doubts as to the prospect of our receiving adequate supplies from North America appear to be set at rest, and the question will be merely as to the power of obtaining the requisite means of transport. It is true that there are statements of the weather not being altogether as favourable as could be wished for the growing crops of both corn and cotton, but we must at all times re ceive such accounts with caution from Pellet's, when we know that it is their interest to get as much as possible. The navigation of the St. Lawrence being likewise open we shall shortly have supplies of grain from Canada, There is an arrival of gold from 4ussia, but whether on account of the late eovernment financial operation remains to be seen, as the amount at present consigned does not, we believe, exceed 120,0001. The armed convention in favour of the Queen of Portugal gives rise to some difference of opinion with respect to the popularity which such a course is likely 10 gain for us, and although all desire to see the civil war ended, many doubt our right to interfere where there is no foreign enemy, even though Spanish intervention may probably have been threatened. The hope is, that all will now be amicably accommodated; but the Junta, if disposed to resist, may yet give a little hot work to all parties, and even suc cess will not strengthen the Queen's cause, if obtained by force of arms and by foreign bayonets, The English Funds are better again, Consols having touched 88% 1/ for present transfer, and 89 to 89 1 4 for time.' There has been an idea that the Savings' Banks Com missioners will sell stock to purchase the unfunded debt, and this, with the uncertainty relative to a French loan, and the heavy railway calls of next month, rather checks the still greater improvement which the fine weather might occasion. Consols Scrip is 3 / 4 discount. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 89 to 89 1 , and the Three per Cents. 87% 87%. Bank Stock is worth 194% to 196.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, were on a very moderate scale. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were very small, if we except Malt and Flour, the supplies of which were seasonably good. From Ireland and Scotland the arrivals were on the increase, but by no means large, the time of year considered. The imports of foreign Wheat and Flour were moderately extensive—viz., upwards of 20,000 quarters of the former, and 8,000 barrels of the latter—but those of other grain were by no means large, Ii rash up to-day from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, as well as from all other quarters, the arrivals of Wheat were unusually small, but the quality was very good. Notwith standing the show of samples was limited, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the absence of the principal dealers, the unwillingness on the part of the millers to get into stock at the present high rates, and the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, was excessively heavy ; indeed a com plete panic took place in the trade, and the quotations suffered a decline on those obtained on Monday last of from TEN TO TWELVE SHILLINGS PEE QUARTER, and at which amount of depression next to nothing was doing, at least a moiety of the supply remaining unsold at the close of the market. There was a full average quantity of foreign Wheat on show. That article met a very depressed inquiry, and the currencies declined from TEN TO TWELVE SHIL LINGS per quarter upon those of this day se'nnight. of the floating cargoes might have been purchased on further reduced terms than those alluded to. The quantity of Bar ley on offer was by no means large; nevertheless the Barley trade was very dull, and the rates declined from is to iu some instances 3s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. We had rather a large supply of Malt on show, and which commanded very little attention, at ls to 2s per quarter less money. With home grown Oats we were scantily supplied ; but the quanity of foreign was good. The trade was ex tremely inactive, and the rates fell from is to 2s per quarter. There was a very slow sale for Beans, at is to 2s per quarter less money. In Peas next to nothing was done, and all kinds were is to 2s per quarter lower. No transac tions were reported in Indian Corn, which must be called 2s to 3s beneath late rates. The Flour trade was very dull, at a fall of 5s per sack and 4s to be per barrel.

Rotterdam Hamburgh Harlingen Nieu Diep Total .. 320 718 1,490 260 160 At Hull, Newcastle, and the various other outports, the ar rivals have comprised about 300 Beasts, 500 Sheep, 90 Lambs, andBo Calves, the whole of which have, we understand, been disposed of in the different local markets at very full prices. To-day there were en sale here about 300 Oxen and Cows, 900 Sheep and Lambs, and 30 Calves, from Holland, Ger many, and Prussia. As the quality of this stock was not to say good, the sale was, comparatively speaking, heavy, at late rates. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good, but the general quality was somewhat inferior, compared with that exhibited on several previous days. Owing to the prevail ing hot weather, and the thin attendance of both town and country buyers, the Beef trade was somewhat inactive, and, in some instances, the quotations declined 2d per 81hs —the highest figure fur the best Scots being 5s 2d per 81bs. The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, comprised about 1,200 Scots, Home-breds, and Short Horns; from the Western and Midland counties, 800 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 750 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots ; the remainder of the supply being derived from abroad and the neighourhood of the metropolis. There was a large increase in the number of Sheep, the quality of which was good. On the whole, the Mutton trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at prices about equal to those paid on Monday last; the primest old Downs out of the wool pro ducing 5s 8d per 81bs. With Lambs we were well supplied, yet the demand for that description of stock was steady, at last week's quotations, viz., from 6s to 7s per 81bs. There was a fair sale for Calves, at about last week's currencies. In Pigs very little was doing, yet prices were mostly supported. Per Blbs. to si Ink the offal.

The arrivals of country-killed Meat up to these markets since this day se'nnight have been very small ; but the supplies slaughtered in the metropolis have been seasonably good.

The American mail, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, has brought us no intelligence of political importance from the United States. The news from Mexico is, on the contrary, deeply interesting. It ac quaints us with another great conflict of arms, between the American forces under General SCOTT and those under the command of SANTA ANNA, that took place at Cerro Gordo, on the 18th ultimo, and re sulted in the defeat of the Mexican army. A very copious account of the military operations will be found in our columns. The version, given by the conquerors, and the commentaries offered by their compatriots on the above engagement, are tinged with the same inflated spirit that is peculiar to their egotism and love of exaggeration. Neverthe less, it is manifest the Americans have achieved a signal victory, but of which, it seems, they could not remain content to give even a highly-coloured representation of their national prowess, without meanly attempting, by vague insinuations, to impeach the personal bravery of their chief antagonist. The known character of SANTA. ANNA is of itself a suffi cient answer to this unworthy imputation. Not merely in respect of real patriotism, but also in regard to inuiviuuni vo,w.A, ..... r __ _c,, h g v ,, L_ - not only not frequent, but of the strongest kind, in favour of the Mexican General. It is impossible to read the address which he issued on the 3d of April to the Supreme Congress, 'previous to taking com mand of the army against General SCOTT, without admiration for the principles by which he has been actuated throughout the campaign, and without the fullest sympathy for the extreme difficulties that stood in the way of his prosecuting the war with anything approaching to becoming energy. The wonder is, that, in a state so much divided against itself, he was so far enabled to overcome the obstacles as to offer the resistance he has done to the unprincipled invaders of his country. Whilst the Americans have been endeavouring to procure a peace by basely corrupting their foes with the money dishonestly voted for this detestable purpose by their Congress, under the baneful counsel of Mr. POLK, SANTA. ANNA has had to silence civil dissension by fervent appeals to the noblest instincts of human nature, and to kindle the patriotic ardour of his country, by indicating that " much as peace is wanted, it must be a peace to be won by valour and constancy, bought by victories obtained by a people that detest oppression." It appears that, naturally dispirited as the Mexican authorities were at the receipt of the fresh reverse which has over taken their General, they nevertheless continued to be animated by the sentiments embodied in the ad dress, above alluded to, penned by their military leader. Apprised of the defeat, Congress imme diately assembled, and decided upon continuing to defend the nationality of their republic, and passed a decree prohibiting the Executive from making peace with the United States, or disposing of any part of their territories." Subsequent to the battle of Cerro Gordo SANTA ANNA had rallied 6,000 men at Orizeba, so that, should he be duly supported by the Government in his further efforts to vindicate the wrongs of his country, he may yet, by having recourse to guerilla warfare, con vince the Americans that, if they should succeed at all in their iniquitous policy, it will only be con summated by sacrifices far heavier than were anti cipated when first they attacked the independence of Mexico. The long and anxiously looked-for decision in the case of Woo Lama. v. TOBY has at length been given. The Judges of the Queen's Bench have pronounced their judgment—and that judgment has been, in ac cordance with the public expectation, favourable to the defendant. The myriads of circulars issued by the projectors of the several defunct schemes, calling on the allottees, under the threat of immediate pro ceedings in case of default, to contribute to the ex penses of the undertakings, and stating that the law was fully settled by the temporary success in that case, have gone for nothinvend the ridiculous men dacity of their concoctors been fully exposed. We re • gret to say, however, that the decision is not as satis factory as we could have wished. The great point has been left untouched. So far as WOOLMER v. TOBY is concerned, the liability of allottees is still a verata questio, and involved in as much doubt as when the writ was first issued. The public mind might still be disturbed, and an enormous mass of litigation en couraged to the ruin of thousands, for aught their Lordships have done. Happily, however, the other Courts have solved the problem, and the principles enunciated in the decisions of WALSTAB v. SPOTTIS WOODE, in the Exchequer, and WoNniErt v. Snmur, in the Common Pleas, must be quite conclusive as to the real merits of the case. We may therefore hope that the silence of the Court of Queen's Bench may not be productive of the evil results that would have otherwise inevitably been attendant thereon. It is scarcely necessary to state here the particulars of a case with which every person who has in any degree intermeddled with railway matters must be familiar, possessing as it did so deep an interest for every one belonging to either of the classes, provisional committeemen or applicants for shares. It was an effort made to stem the torrent which had set in so powerfully against the former class, to neutralise, if possible, the effects of the case of WALSTAB V. SPOTTISWOODE, of which it was the converse. In that case an allottee had recovered against a com mitteeman the amount of deposit which he had paid, the consideration for which had failed, the scheme proving an abortive one and not having been pro ceeded with before Parliament. It struck terror into the souls of promoters ; they had previously hoped that under any circumstances they would have escaped comparatively scatheless ; that all preliminary ex penses, of which they might themselves have made a good thing, would have been defrayed out of the deposits of the several allottees, while they would have excused themselves from any payment. Something must be done. An action against an allottee, to compel him to pay for shares which he had refused to accept, would at least have the effect of de laying a great many actions against themselves, and perhaps of inducing many timid men to pay a small sum in order to be exonerated from all further liabi lity. While relying on the notorious procrastination of the superior courts, on those delays so deeply prejudicial to the suitors, they hoped that much time would elapse before final judgment would be pronounced They were not disappointed in this expectation. They selected a professional gentleman who had ap plied for shares as the subject of attack. The record came on for hearing at Exeter, in the spring assizes of 1846. The Learned Judge, in accordance with the usual custom, when the slightest doubt exists, refused to nonsuit the plaintiff, but reserved liberty to the defendant to move for a non suit. on various grounds. The rule nisi was obtained Easter ter m , 1846, an d it i s not until five terms 1 1 7. e elapsed—until Trinity, 1847—that it is finally decided, The g rea t question was, " Whether persons p who h a d applied for shares, and to whom those shares, or a portiL,an thereof, had been allotted, could be com pelled t o y the deposit thereon, or to c on tribute i n slay degr ee to the expenses of the pr o j ec t, a f ter th a t practically project had b eet; eally and its opinion was abandoned." Th e i ssue was fairly before the Court, most anxiously looke, for. , In n place,sogreat a length o f however, of ware not t declaring the law, they h av - after time, only announced that 1... he v iffs v the proper parties to sue, and that, consequently, judgment must be for the defendant. ;,t could not be said that the matter was "coranz. noltiuc;:ce," that having decided one point, fatal to the plaiatiffs' ~ ; laim, any further opinion of the court would be superfl 4ws ; on the contrary, the general faehng will , be that the Court has evaded a serious t ang ,reignty re.

AN AUDACIOUS APPLICATION.—In this case an appli cation was made to discharge the insolvent on sureties until his hearing at Chester. They offered themselves as bail for 3001., which they stated in their affidavit that they possessed over and above all they owed. On the part of the detaining creditor au affidavit was read in opposition, from which it appeared that the pro posed sureties were clerks in the Liverpool Post-office. One of them had pleaded his poverty, and got a creditor to grant him time to pay his own debt. On being asked whether he had made an affidavit in this case, he admit ted that he had done so, as he was asked to get the in solvent out of gaol. He had never read it. The affi davit further stated that the bail was not worth a shil ling, and that the other bail, a fellow-clerk, was not in a situation to pay his own creditors. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIrs said the present was a most audacious application. lication, declaring .

On her remonstrating with him on his cruelty to his little sister, he got into such a rage that he took up a knife and struck her across the nose, inflicting a fright ful wound, nearly severing it from her face.

The Presse of Friday publishes the following pro tocol, signed in London on the 21st inst., by the represen tatives of Great Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal:— "PROTOCOL OF THE CONFERENCE HELD AT THE Fo- REIGN-OFFICE, THE 21ST OF MAX, 1847. Present, the Plenipotentiaries of Spain, France, Great Britain, and Portugal. " The Plenipotentiaries of Spain, France, Great Britain, and Portugal, having met in conference on the invitation of the Plenipotentiary of Portugal, the Pleni potentiary of Portugal declared that he had learned, by dispatches received that day from his Government., the inutility of the efforts made at Oporto by Colonel Wylde and the Marquis d'Espana to put an end to the civil war in Portugal through the means of the conditions which the Queen of Portugal had authorised them to make known to the Junta. He added that as the Queen of Portugal had offered these conditions in conformity with the advice of her allies, he was commissioned by her Majesty to renew the request already made by her to those of her a lli es w h o h a d t a k en p a rt in the treaty of the 22d of April, 1834, in order to obtain from them the assistance necessary to effect the p a cification of h er states. Baron Moncorvo declared subsequently that the conditions thus communicated to the Junta of Oporto. 011 the part of her Majesty, were— " 1. A full and general amnesty for all pol itical offences committed since the beginning of October lasts and an immediate r eca l o f a ll p e rsons who since that time have been sent out of Portugal for political reason?.

The immediate appointment of an Administra; tion composed of men not belonging to the party of th Cabruls nor being members of the Junta of Oporto. " The British Plenipotentiary confirmed the declare the elec tion of Baron Moncorvo, and declared that the British Government had likewise received dispatches fro?. Colonel Wylde, announcing that the mission in which he was employed conjointly with the Marquis d'EsPaue had failed, and that the Junta had refused to conclude the civil war on the terms proposed by her Majesty'. or even to consent to a suspension of arms.

It appears, however, from the extraat which we subjoin, that it was of a very different cha racter : " The Sidon returned from St. Übes on the 19th with Sada Bandeira's negative reply to the proposal made by the British and Spanish Ministers for a renewal of the armistice, which had been declared at an end on the 17th. He said that he was determined to obey the orders he bad received from the Junta, which forbade him to agree to any further suspension of hostilities, and that, therefore , there was no use in addressing any more propositions of that or any other sort to him.

SALE OF POlSONS.—Saturday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Gran Grange, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, on Robert Holland, aged 19 months, the child of a cab proprietor, residing in Browdy's-yard, Milford-lane, Strand. Last Wednesday deceased's parents purchased " bug poison" at Mr. Reeves's, Fetter-lane. Having used a portion of it in destroying bugs, the mother, who was not aware of its deadly quality, put what remained in a cup under the bed, where decease found it, and drank some of it. Its poisonous effects soon showed themselves, and, although all that me. dical skill suggested was done for the child by the medical gentlemen of King's College Hospital, he died in great agony in five hours. Mr. Reeves stated that the " bug poison" was a deadly mixture, composed of arsenic, sugar, and quassia:: The cup in which he gave the poison was not labelled, 1 : 1 ,', bottles, containing sixpennyworth, were labelled poiso The Coroner said that it was lamentable to witness the Tea less manner in which poisons were sold, without any inti M e. tion to the public of their deadly character. If poison* had affixed to .them labels inscribed " poison," a great pro tection to life would be afforded. The jury expressed a similar opinion, and returned a verdict of "Accidental poi soning." A serious accident took place on the night of the 20th instant, on the railroad between Brunn and Lunder• burg, by the collision of two trains going in opposite direc' Lions. Although the shock was very violent no passenger was hurt, but three stokers were killed, and one of the drivers had his arm broken so seriously that it was neces• sary to amputate it.
