The American mail, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, has brought us no m intelligence of politi ca l importance from the United tates. The news from Mexico is, on the contrary, deeply interesting. It ac quaintsus with another great conflict of arms, between the American forces under General SCOTT and those under the command of SA:STA 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 slot remain content to give even a highly-coloured Int 4, SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING,_ JUNE I, 1847. representation of of their national prowess, without meanly attempting, by vague insinuations, to impeach the personal bravery of th eir 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 individual valour, the proofs have been 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." Subsequen t to the battle of Cerro Gordo SANTA ANNA had rallied 6,00 0 men a t 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. by the Kabyles on the night of the 17th in the country of the Beni Abbes. " The fire of the Kabvles," writes the correspendent of the Debuts, " 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.M. 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, for we lost fifty-seven killed and wounded. Three vil 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 %as 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."

The squadron under the orders of Prince DE JOIN VILLE left Toulon on the 25th, and was in the evening off the 113 eres. 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 MACJAU. The accounts received from all parts of France continued to represent the prospects of the harvest as most magnificent.

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 fer the growing crops of both corn and cotton, but we must at all times re ceive such accounts with caution from sellers, 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 Russia, but whether on account of the late Government 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 to 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 probabl) have been threatened. The hope is, that all will ncw 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 Fuuds are better again, Consols having touched 88% 1 / 2 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-Quart er per Cents. have been 89 to 89 1 / 8 , and the Three per Cents. 87% 87%. Batik Stock is worth 194 1 / 2 to 196.

GL.us BIZON for the introduc tion of an uniform rate of postage, was defeated. The Journal des Debuts of Friday has the following The long and anxiously looked-for decision in the case of ll'oor.sma v. TOBY has at length been given. The Judges of the Queen's Bench have pronounced their julg•nent—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 nothing, and the ridiculous men dacity of their concoctors been fully exposed. We re • Bret 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. Tony is concerned, the liability of allottees is still a vexata 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 WONTNER V. Suaarr, 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 WALsTan 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 in Easter term, 1846, and it is not until five terms have elapsed—until Trinity, 1847—that it is finally decided. The great question was, " Whether persons who had applied for shares, and to whom those shares, or a portion thereof, had been allotted, could be com • pelled to pay the deposit thereon, or to contribute in any degree to the expenses of the project, after that' project had been practically abandoned." The issue was fairly before the Court, and its opinion was most anxiously looked for. In place, however, of declaring the law, they have, after so great a length of time, only announced that the plaintiffs were not the proper parties to sue, and that, consequently, judgment must be for the defendant. It could not be said that the matter was "coram non judice," that having decided one point, fatal to the plaintiffs claim, any further opinion of the court would be superfluous ; on the contrary, the general feeling will be that the Court has evaded a serious and weighty re sponsibility, and, in order to escape the solution of a difficulty, has suffered the law still to remain in• volved in doubt and mystery. Madrid journals of the 23d and 24th have arrived. '1 he 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 GODOT, 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 0 . 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 b e ta k en w i t h out d e l ay t o arr ange the succes sion to th e th rone on t h e d eat h o f Q ue en I S ABELL A , for it says the declared refusal of England to acknow ledge th e D uchess Madrid Bolsa cru e l was determination l of MONTPENSIBB, and the un derstood deter e closed on th e 24th.

GUIZOT, in the Ch am b er o f The Deputies is getting "small by degrees and beauti fu!ly 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 t) give the Ministry an opportunity of whipping-in, 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 ourselves, conscientious partisans of the reform, we sea in these manifestations the certain sign of its early triumph. In the discussion of 1845 it had 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 s) mpa 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 journmenr. 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 _Wats will return to its arguments about inopportuneness. The compere is not particular." The Presse thus concludes a long article, full of 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 be indebted for it." In the Committees M. GUIZOT 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 accepted 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 CUBIERES is the evil genius of M. GUIZOT. The Patrie says— " The affair of General Cubil7es 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 peut 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 Debats 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 a gg ravate the accounts we publish from the Augsburgh Gazette. 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, sit least temporarily, of M. Mu - surus to Ath,ns, to receive an apology from M. Coletti. This is not the solution by which the French Govern ment wished to see the diflerences terminated. That which has befallen the Greek Government is a fresh and melancholy ex imple 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 amende 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 favourable 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 cretat of )ctober last. This action now lifts its head again; and we can only express our surprise and satisfaction 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 'acts in the place of words; France 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 Oily; and this very secondary part will not be profitable to the two coun tries, for England aitne, as justice demands, must gather the fruits of a.i action which she has conceived, under taken, and almost ex' cuted !" Various intrigues are going on in Paris to coerce the Queen of SPAIN into obedience to the Afrancesado party, or in the event of contu macy on her part, to depose her and proclaim her husband Regent. NAUVAEZ is, it is said, prepared to start from Paris at a moment's warning, to put himself at the head of the Afrancesados, and do the bidding of the French intriguers. The Constitutionnel says— " All is disorder, confusion, and scandal at the Court of Madrid. The Queen and the King, after some quar rels and reconciliations, of which the public has for some time enjoyed the strange 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 intrigues 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 Cortes as in the ante-chambers—in the press as well as on the royal couch. These are some of the conse qeences of the great policy of Louis XIV. ; and our alliance of last year with Spain is, as may b. seen, more noble, more pure, more solid, and more glorious than ever! To add a last touch to this picture, the Ministerial theGSopd,ah Prince Govern ment o correspondence from M adrid of this day hazards the fol lowi proposes to el e f Peace, 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 Fra n c ais, " that the D u k e d e B rog li e 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 BUQBAUD was vigorously attacked OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. The departure of Lord Hardinge would, it was said, take place in the month of October. The Punjaub is perfectly tranquil. An earthquake took place there, and heavy rains had fallen, which improved the sanatory condition of the country. Ghoolab Singh had established a monopoly of opium and tobacco at Cashmere. There had been some dis turbances at Oude. The English residents in the States of Rsjpoot had put a period to the custom of burning widows and killing infants of the female sex. Colonel Outram had been appointed Resident at Barodo.— Times. APPEARANCE of the COUNTRY, &c TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—l have been lately sojourning at that delightfu. 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 "b g 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 what has been said and written. that there is a plenty of old wheat in this country. The opinion of the " rich " farmers has been, not to send to market until wheat was 1003. the quarter. 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 any 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 destroyed." Well, thank God, the crops look in the most beautiful and prosperous condition. In Yorkshire the pastures are most nlootning ; 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 Na-- folk yen 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 Harrowgate all the talk was about the neighbouring borough of Knaresborough, 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 Earl of Harewood, who bolds large property adjoining the town. Mr. Lascelles 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 own 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 talents ought to be pulled forward at this particular crisis. Depend upon it, Sir, th at the Bsnk 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.-1 am, Sir, your friend and CONSTANT READER. Yarmouth, 29th May, 1847. ZENON, THE MARTYR. -- The marked Success Which has attended the works of the Rev. Richard Cobb°ld, has induced him to put forth a production of a higher cha racter, in the shape of a narrative, illustrating the fortunes of Zenon, a Christian martyr, who lived during the reign of the Emperor Domitian. At the present time, when so much at tention is being paid to the early history of the Christian Church, such a production cannot fail to be welcome. In narrating the advertures of his hero, the author gives an a nimated picture of the Emperor's Court, as yell as of the habits and manners of his principal nobles, and introduces many details of classical Rome during the firs , advances of Christianity.

ASCOT RACES.—WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.— From the extensive preparations which have been made throughout the town and neighbourhood for the accommo- , dation of expected visitors, the forthcoming races are anti cipated to be tar more nutnerously attended than upon any former occasion. The circumstances of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal Family, accompanied by a host of royal and illustrious guests, to the number of be tween 60 and 70, taking up their residence at the Castle dur ing the week, add, as may well be imagined, most materially to the usual attractions of an Ascot gathering. The private lodgings in the town and its vicinity are all engaged, as well as the apartments at the principal hotels. Prince Louis Napoleon, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Earl of Chesterfield, and other distinguished tashionables, will be, during the week, at the Royal Hotel at Slough. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, with their illustrious visitors (who will arrive at the Castle to-morrow afternoon), will honour the course with their presence on Tuesday and Thursday. A military review, upon a grand scale, in the Great Park, before her Majesty and the visitors at Castle, is confidently spoken of, to ta ke place on Wedn esda\ next. NARROW ESCAPE OF BISHOP PHILLPOTTS.—On Saturday at a quarter to ten Bishop Phiilpotts left Padding ton by express train for Exeter. When they hadwere proceed alarmed ed as far as M a id en h ea d some of the p assengers by a smell of fire. At first it was thought that an axle was overheated, but as the smell increased, the apprehensions of the passengers became great l y hei g htened, for the train would not stop till it got to Di dcot, and the rapid pace at which the express train travels wo uld cause any fire to burn with great rapidity. They contrived to arouse the atteencar tio of the guard, who, at the risk of his lif e, g ot along thn riage to the engine, which was immediately stopped. The train was examined, and it was discovered that an axle had broken, and that the friction of one of the broken parts against the 1;ottom of the carriage had set fire to it. All parties were thankful for their preservation, and after a short detention the train proceeded. Sydney Smith used to say when the Great Western Company pertinaciously con tinued to lock their carriage Boors, that there never would be any rational system of protection adopted until a bishop had been burnt in a railway c arriage. hope that te passengers may narro w esca p e o f the estimable Prelate of this diocese, whose life is so particularly valuable a t the p anies resent moment, will arouse Parliamentary attention to the subject i ns mmediately, and compel all railway comp to adopt mea by which commun i c ate with the guard, and the guard with the engine-driver.

Brown, potentiary of Portugal declared that he had learned, by Master-Attendant. dispatches received that day from his Government, the The following are the promotions and appointments inutility of the efforts made at Oporto by Colonel Wylde for the past week:— 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 allies who had taken part in the treaty of the 22d of April, 1834, in order to obtain from them the assistance necessary to effect the pacification of her states. Baron Moncorvo declared subsequently that the conditions thus communicated to the Junta of Oporto, on the part of her Majesty, were— " 1. A full and general amnesty for all political offences commite d since the beginning of October last, and an immediate recal of all persons who since that time have been sent out of Portugal for political reasons. "2. An immediate revocation of all decrees which have been issued since the beginning of October last, and which infringe upon or conflict with the established laws and constitution of the kingdom. " 3. A convocation of the Cortes as soon as the elec tions, which shall take place without delay, have been accomplished. " 4. The immediate appointment of an Administra tion composed of men not belonging to the party of the Cabrals nor being members of the Junta of Oporto. The British Plenipotentiary confirmed the declara tion of Baron Moncorvo, and declared that the British Government had likewise received dispatches from Colonel Wylde, announcing that the mission in which he was employed conjointly with the Marquis d'Espana hall 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. " The Plenipotentiaries of Spain, France, and Great Britain, taking these circumstances into serious con sideration, and having present in their mind the profound interest which their respective Governments feel in the prosperity of Portugal, and the strong desire of those Governments to see the civil war which is at present desolating that country terminated on conditions founded on the one hand on the respect due to the dignity t ill to the constitutional rights of the Crown, and prop r to secure sufficiently the liberties of the people; convinced, moreover, that the terms proposed by her Majesty were well calculated to accomplish those two objects, are agreed in thinking that a conjuncture is now presented at which their respective Governments may, by con forming fully to the principles which direct them, accede to the demand for assistance which has been addressed to them by the Queen of Portugal. " The Plenipotentiary of Portugal, after having ex pressed the satisfaction with which he received that de claration on the part of the Plenipotentiaries of the three Powers, established the urgent necessity for - adopting measures conformable to those declarations. and represented that in the present state of affairs in Portugal every delay must add to the Bloodshed and aggravate the calamities which - afflict the kingdom. " Having regard to these circumstances, and per suaded of the urgency of the crisis, the Plenipotentiaries of the four Powers have agreed that the assistance pro mised to the Queen of Portugal shall be afforded imme diately ; and after that determination the Plenipotentia ries of Spain, of France, and of Great Britain engage that the naval forces of their respective Governments at present stationed on the coast of Portugal shall take part conjointly and instantly with the naval forces of her Most Faithful Majesty in every operation deemed ne cessary or opportune by the commanders of the combined forces to attain the object of this common act ; and the Spanish Plenipotentiary engages, moreover, that a body of troops, of which the number shall be fixed between the Governments of Spain and Portugal, shall penetrate into Portugal, in order to co-operate with the troops of her Most Faithful Majesty, and that those troops shall evacuate the territory within a period of two months after their entrance, or as soon as the object of the ex pedition shall have been accomplished. The Plenipo tentiaries of the four Powers promise that orders con formable to the engagements of this protocol shall be immediately transmitted to the naval officers of the re spective Governments, and to the general officers com mandiug the Spanish troops on the frontiers of Spain.

Them u,kets ns-• cussion locks, and appear of a struction. very substantial OW We have been favoured by our contemporary, the Morning Herald, with the following intelligence- from Lisbon, of three days' later date than tne last advises from our own correspondent. At that time the Sidon had just returned from her mission to St. Übes, but the nature of the intelligence she brought had not trans pired, and it was believed that it was favourable to the Government. It appears, however, from the extract 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 lie 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 mere propesiLion , of that or any cieher sort to him. In consequence of this resolution on his part, and of its having become known that the three war steamers which the insurgents had at St. Übes had left that port, and taken a norther;y course, doubtless for the purpose of taking - up troops at Oporto, and landing them either at St. Übes or in Cas eat's Bay, 14 miles from this city, the British ftiga:e America, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, and steamer Polyphemus, Captain M‘Cleverty, together with the Spanish frigate Villa de Bilbao, have been sent from this port to intercept them, and prevent them from accom plishing the obiect of their expedition. The vessels sailed with sealed'orders, but there is not the slightest doubt that this is their real destination, if one way judge from the tenor of Sir H. Seymoui . 's recent com munication to the Oporto Junta, transmitted through Colonel Wylde, and the correspondence that had taken place previously between Colonel Wy Ide and the generals commanding antagonist forces et near St. Übes." Times. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMO LITH, SUNDAY. The steam-frigate Avenger, Captain S. C. llacres, is ordered to be attached to Sir Charles Napier's squadron. Sir Charles will ultimately shift his flag from the St. Vincent to the Vengeance, 84, Captain Stephen Lush ington, on that ship's refitment for sea service. The steam-sloop Geyser, Commander Brown, left this harbour direct for Lisbon at eight o'clock on Friday night, with a large amount of shot, live-shell, and other ammunition, as well as a good cargo of stores, for Sir W. Parker's squadron. She also took out dispatches for the British Minister and Sir William Parker. The next intelligence from Portugal is •ery anxiously looked for.
