The return of the Revenue for the quarter ending the 10th of October, 1847, exhibits, as might have been anticipated, evidences of the pressure under which we have been labouring for the last three months. On the quarter there is a decrease under every head save those of Post-office and Taxes, the former of which exhibits a trifling increase of 3,9451., and the latter an increase on the quarter o 5,0001. It is gratifying to find that the Post-office revenue continues to increase year by year, and quar ter by quarter, whatever may be the circumstances of the country. During the prosperous years 1844 and 1845, the Post- office revenue exhibited a steady increase, and during the years of pressure 1846 and 1847, the increase still continues. These results prove to demonstration the sound ness of the principles of Mr. ROWLAND HILL and we congratulate the friends of "a cheap and uniform system of postage" on the decisive and sue eessful result of this great experiment. The total decrease on the revenue for the quarter is 1,507,2301., on the revenue for the year, 1,042,2681. It must, however, be recollected that a portion of this de crease is attributable to the cessation of the payment by China, on account of the expenses of the late war. This will account for 227,6441. of the decrease on the quarter, and for nearly a million of the deficiency on the year. The Customs ex hibit a decrease of 374,1911. on the quarter, but an increase of 267,2241. on the year, the total amount of Customs revenue being for the quarter 4,936,644/., and for the year 18,418,1571. The de crease on the quarter can be accounted for by the fact that during the corresponding quarter of last year considerable sums were received as duty on the importation of foreign corn, whereas during the quarter just expired all grain was admitted duty free. 'We are sorry to observe a large decrease in the Ex cise revenue, as this indicates a diminished power of consumption on the part of the great masses of the people in consequence of the severe pressure of dis tress. The diminution in the Excise revenue on the year amounts to 159,9141., and on the quarter to the enormou s sum o f 641,9801., the total Excise revenue for the quarter being 3,539,9461., and for the year 12,092,0181. The great decrease has taken place in the receipts from the duties on malt and on British spirits. The total revenue received from Stamps fortoh74s e ,, yea l r amounts to 7,135,37 81 ., for the quarter to 1,7 an increase on the year of 152,2491., b u t a decrease on showing the quarter of 66,4191. To the increa se , b ot h ins the year and the quarter, under the head of Taxes, we have already alluded. The total revenue derived from this source for the year amounts to 4,329,6771., and for the quarter to 213,885/. The Property-tax has yielded for the year 5,4 38 , 4531 ., and for the quarter 1,918,645/., showing an increase on the year of 106,2961., and a decrease on the quarter of 5 3,4831. The increase in the Post-office on the quarter, as we have already stated amots to 5,000/., on the year it amounts to 57,000/. un —the total amount of revenue derived from this source being, for the year, 859,0001., and fo r the q uarter, 222,000/. Under the head Crown Lands there is a decrease on the quarter of 45,0001., no revenue having been :derived from that scarce during the quarter ending Oct. 10, 1 847. The decrease under this head on the year amounts to 48,0001. The Miscellaneous revenue for the quarter amounts to 73,1264, and for the year to 202,8371., showing a decrease on the year of 153,208/., and on the quarter of 104,784/. This decrease, however, is rather apparent than real, inasmuch as during the corre sponding quarter of last year 227,6441. of China money was brought to account. The total Income for the quarter is 12,843,3141., and for the year 49,5:52,8791., showing a decrease in the year of 1,042,268/., and a decrease on the quarter of 1,507,2301. The total Charge for the quarter is 7,791,6651. The surplus of the Consolidated Fund for the quarter is 856,1341. ; and the surplus of Re venue, after providing for the charges on the Conso lidated Fund, and for the payment of Supply ser vices. in the quarter, is 729,195/. A palace intrigue has dissipated all the patriotic visions of SALAMANCA. The restoration of General NARVAEZ to power is a catastrophe so remarkable and unexpected that it has startled the political world as with a thunderclap. Paris, Madrid, and London were equally amazed at the intelligence that the Duke of VALENCIA:WES again in the ascendant. The Minis terial organs of M. GUIZOT were for the time being so bewildered by an occurrence of a character so propi tious and unanticipated that they contented them selves with the simple publication of the news con veyed by the French telegraph, reserving their com ments until such time as the information should be corroborated by the explanations of their Spanish correspondents. In our own capital the first brief announcement of this extraordinary transferrence of the government from the hands of the enterprising Progressista SA LAMANCA to those of the execrable Afrancesado Nan- VAEZ, was heard as something incredible and preter natural. The more sanguine of the wellwisbers of the late Administration would at the first blush have equally withheld their credulity from a telegraphic dispatch recounting the arrival of travellers from Atalantis, or the importation of a cargo of bullion from the merchants of El Dorado. Even the late Minister of Finance was originally informed of his downfal when whiling away an evening in a box at the theatre. All were astonished, and doubtful if not actually incredulous, at the first declaration that NAEVAEZ had supplanted SALAMANCA. Yet such actually proves to be the last alternation of affairs in the Spanish metropolis, and now that time has permitted them to recover from their first agreeable surprise, the Paris journals are breaking silence, and commenting with a complacent egotism upon this abrupt revival of influence to the Afrancesados. A momentary examination of the facts of this Ministerial change assures us, however, that it has arisen from no vast combinations of faction, from no subtle contrivances of diplomacy, from no moral predominance of principle, but from the mi serable effervescence of personal passion, and the con• temptible casualties of a palace intrigue. If ISA.. BELLA. has again wilfully fallen before the seduc tions of the Guizot Cabinet, she has fallen like DANAE—a shower of gold has been the means of her abasement. It would be frivolous indeed to deny that the funds placed at the disposal of the Duke of VALENCIA, simultaneously with his recent journey from the Tuileries to the Prado, have exercised a marvellous influence over those individuals who are known to sway the judgment of her Most Catholic MAJESTY. The key which has opened the doors of the Council Chamber to Don RamoN MARIA NARvaxx, is a key of gold. And now that the event has actually transpired, now that curiosity and amazement have been diminished by the revelations of the initiated, it is only surprising that the autho rity of SALAMANCA was not previously subverted, and the worshippers prostrate long ago before the golden calf of Afrancesadoism. In exulting over the accession of General NAIL.. VAEZ to power, as President of the Council of Minis ters, we nevertheless conceive that the palliators of French intrigue are singularly premature, and egre giously open to the charge of temerity. That our impressions in this respect are not altogether un founded is shown by the spirit in which the obser- vations of the Journal des _Wats itself are ex pressed. It evidently regards the Duke of VALENCIA in his new position with a joyful but hesitating admiration. It exults at the formation of a Cabinet with a Moderado majority in the Cortes, and it yearns to receive intelligence that NARVAEZ is proving himself the most faithful, as ne is already the most illustrious, representative of the party of which that majority is composed. The question is,. therefore, will General NARVAEZ fulfil the insidious aspirations of his French supporters ? Is he ascending the curule chair merely to betray his country, bound hand and foot, into the possession of LOUIS PHILIPPE ? Or is he one of those profound and crafty patriots who strive to extricate their native land and their Sove reign from the toils of the enemy by a pretence of villany and an appearance of fraud ? NARVAEZ may yet obliterate the recollection of his atrocities by the adoption of a most magnanimous policy; he may yet, by his correspondence with the royal intriguer of the Tuileries, present to posterity a conflict of guile historically analagous to the ever memorable strife of craftiness between the most wonderful diplomatists of their own or of perhaps any age—MACHIAVELLI and C2ESAR BORGIA. For MACHIAVELLI, with all his ruthless astuteness, was a patriot, and NARVAEZ may yet prove his disciple. Correct, therefore, as the Constitutionnel is in say ing that " Spain is under the government of chance, tempered by palace intrigues," we cannot but believe that her ultimate restoration to happiness and pros perity may result from these very fortuitous events. Hope can never forsake the peninsula while the SOVE REIGN is young and resolute in the retention of her independence, while the hearts of Spaniards are loyal to their QUEEN and their Constitution, and while their arms are nerved by love and reverence for the maintenance of their nationality. Brief as has been the existence of the Salamanca Cabinet, it has deserved for itself the grateful recollections of the people, for solely through its instrumentality has the perturbed reign of ISABELLA been graced by the decree of a comprehensive political amnesty. By the publi cation of that amnesty Senor SALAMANCA has ensured to himself the eulogistic mention of the future his torian of Spain. That at least may be a consolation to him for the misfortune of finding himself thrust from authority long before the fulfilment of his patriotic aspirations. Tipperary has long acquired a fearful celebrity for the scenes of riot and disturbance, of destruction of property and resistance to the law, of bloodshed and murder, by which its soil is defiled, and in which too many of its inhabitants are participators, if not by being actually present, aiding and abetting at the perpetration of the outrages, at least by a foreknow ledge that such things are in contemplation, and a withholding of such information as would enable the victims to escape from the machinations of the con spirators, and also by affording every assistance in their power to the offenders to enable them to evade pursuit, and to escape the punishment due to the crimes they have committed. A wide-spread conspiracy is organized in almost every locality, in opposition to the law. A sanguinary code has been established for the punishment of those who dare to counteract the decrees of the midnight legislators, secret tribunals are created before which complaints are lodged and investigated, questions of life and death are debated by the self-constituted judges, and sentence passed without the victim being made aware of what is objected against him, or being allowed any opportu nity of offering his defence. The frightful assassinations by which the public feeling is outraged are generally speaking regarded by the peasantry as the execution of a merited sentence, and there is no lack of execu tioners to carry into effect the decree of the court. The old man of the mountains could not rely with greater certainty on the obedience of his assassins, or the immolation of his enemy, than the blood thirsty miscreants who have pronounced the judg ment can depend on the zeal of the selected agent, and the sacrifice of the devoted victim. That agent is generally chosen by lot from amongst a number prepared for an y a t roc it y , an d h e neve r g i v es up the g p a u rd rs le u s i s t o u f nt e i o l n h sev eh e a n s c e e ff s e t c o ted hi h m is se f l e f arf h u e l purpose. Regardless Re slip no opp or t un it y . H e does not seek to shelter himself under the darkness of night, but even in the face of the noontide sun, in the full light of heaven, will shed the blood of his fellow-man, and retire coolly from the scene of his iniquity, not fearing pursuit or interrup tion from the neighbouring peasantry. Such a stat e of things is indeed lamentable. It is impossible to hope for a permanent improvement in the condition of the country while it is permitted to exist. How can they hope for the introduction of capital into the country, while there is neither security for life or property in the district ? How can they rail at the absenteeism, the curse of their country, if resi- dent and improving landlords, men anxious to discharge the duties incidental to their properties well and efficiently, are to be butchered in the middle of the day, at their own thresholds, for attempting to enforce their legal rights, and that in by no means a harsh or oppressive manner. The statements made and the address adopted at the meeting of magistrates of that county, assembled at Cashel on Thursday last, for the pu• irpose of taking into their consideration the course to be pursued in consequence of the recent murder of WILLIAM ROE, Esq., a brother magistrate, exhibit melancholy illustrations of the demoralised condition of the people. The un fortunate gentleman whose untimely death had occasioned the assemblage was, it appears, "an upright magistrate, a kind and considerate landlord, charitable to the poor, and most generous and liberal in the measures he adopted to provide employment for the peasantry upon his property. For that pur pose he was about commencing, in addition to pre vious works, an extensive system of drainage ; and during the late period of distress, he established a depot of food at his own expense, which was gratui• tously distributed to the destitute under the superin tendence of his sisters, both of whom were attacked by fever caught in the discharge of their benevolent duties." Such is the statement of the assembled justices of the character and conduct of the unfortu nate gentleman, and there is no reason to suppose that it is in any degree exaggerated, or not fully warranted by the facts ; and yet such a person is deliberately and wantonly assassinated on the high road, near his own demesne, and in the immediate vicinity; indeed, within a few yards of several inhabited houses, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and the audacious and heartless perpetrator is suffered to make his escape unmolested, leaving his innocent victim weltering in his blood. Such a fact would alone speak trumpet tongued as to the necessity of some prompt and vigorous measures to bring to justice all parties in any manner implicated in this foul and infamous murder, not merely the wretched hirelings by whose agency the fell behest of the human demons was carried into execution, but also every one in the slightest degree cognizant of the offence who could be regarded as an accessary before the fact. But if the statement made at the meeting as to the causes can in any manner be substantiated it becomes much more essential that a striking example should be made, and a death-blow given to the system that could lead to such harrowing results. The magis trates state that " the generally supposed cause of the murder is that Mr. ROE had ejected one of his tenants who held seven acres of land at a moderate price. He owed Mr. ROE two years' rent last May; Six out of the seven acres were lying waste and un cultivated.;Mr. RoE offered 101., to forgive all arrears, and to let him have the crops growing on the one acre he had tilled, if he would yield possession of the land. This proposal the tenant refused, evidently resolved to hold the ground without paying rent," and they add, " we have reason to believe that a con spiracy existed to deprive Mr. RoE of his legal claims, among others of his tenants, and that this crime formed a portion of the plan." It is really shocking to contemplate the existence of such things in a civilised country. The mode of reasoning by which the murder was decided on exhibits a specimen of hellish ingenuity hitherto unparalleled. We know not where Lord GLENGALL derived the information which he laid before the meeting ; but it is to be hoped, from the explicit and decided manner in which his Lordship stated what had taken place, that such revelations have been made as will lay bare the entire proceedings. We extract the following from his Lordship's speech : "It appeared that a combination had been formed by several of his tenants—that a determination ex isted among them not to pay him large arrears of rent which they owed. Some of the parties met to con sider what steps they should adopt to carry out their infernal schemes. It was understood that it abso lutely became the subject of consideration among those persons who met, whether Mr. Roe, or the gentleman who officiated as his agent, should be shot ! They admitted in their hellish committee that Mr. Roe was an excellent, extremely liberal, and generous gentleman, and that it would be a pity to shoot him 1 and that it would be better to shoot the agent ! But when the fellows had fully discussed their machinations, they came to the determination of shooting the landlord, whom, alas ! they did. The reason why they had selected the landlord was this : —Mr. Roe's children were very young ; that if Mr. i Roe was dead the property would be probably placed under the Court of Chancery, and the consequence of which would be that the receiver from the court would be appointed over it ; that the receiver, as was the general castom in those cases, would pay little or no attention to the interests of the minors ; that those scheming tenants would be enabled to get a reduc tion in the rents, and that, as it had often been the case when properties were placed under the courts, the minors and widow would be plundered of their only existence l" Surely there must be something radically wrong and requiring an immediate remedy when such things are practised and freely spoken of. It may not be possible to defeat or set aside evils that are of ancient growth in a brief period, but no efforts should be spared to trace their source, and to introduce such enactments as will be adequate for the vindication of the law, to strike a salutary terror into the minds of the wrongdoers, and to establish something like se curity for life and property in that unhappy district. The Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 27th ult., says—" An official report, received this morning, from the authorities of Reggio, announces that the heads of the revolt, GIOVANNI ANDREA ROMEO, STEFANO RoMEo, and the son of the late DOMENICO RoMEo, have given themselves up to Mayor SCALEZE, of the gendarmerie. There, therefore, now remains no other person of that family, nor any other head of their insurrection, for the other promoter of dis order, the famous canon PAOLO PELLICANO, is also in custody." The Diario di Roma, which is the official journal of the Pontificial Government, contradicts, in the most positive manner, the reports which had been current in Rome, of defeats sustained by the royal troops, and of the defection of some detachments of the army. A letter from Berne, of the 4th, says— " The grand military review which took place on Sunday, in the canton of Vaud, and the ceremony of taking the oaths by the militia, formed one of the most imposing patriotic solemnities which have taken place since that canton conquered its independence. In each of the nineteen districts into which the can ton is divided, the troops of elite and of the reserve took with enthusiasm the oath to the cantonal consti tution and the federal authority. The battalions were fully complete, and the arms and equipments left no thing to be desired. The formation of an auxiliary corps •f volunteers has been effected in a manner which sur passed the expectation of the Government. Accord ing to the statement which the Government has made to the Vorort, the Diet can reckon on 22,000 armed men of the elite, on a reserve of 10,000 men, and on from 4,000 to 6,000 volunteers. The troops of the Vaud are generally considered the best of the confede ration. The Landsgemeinde of Uri, which only pos sesses a population of 15,000, whilst that of Vaud is 200,000, has declared its approval of all that has been done by the Sonderbund, and asserted that it will not submit to the decrees of the Diet. The Grand Council of Lucerne, on its part, has decided that the people shall be consulted as to the course to be pursued under existing circumstances." The canton of Zug has decided not to submit to the decrees of the Diet dissolving the Sonderbund. The Federal Directory has addressed the following notification to the confederated States : "We inform you by the present that, according to Et notification of the 29th ult., by the Executive Council of the canton of Berne, some soldiers of Fribourg, on the 25th, fired with ball from the village of Übeistorf upon some houses on the territory of Berne. We have requested the Government of Fri bourg to instute an inquiry into this affair, and to give satisfaction." Madrid journals of the 4th inst. have arrived. The Gageta publishes the following royal decrees announcing the change of the Ministry : ROYAL DECREES. "In sight of the reasons which Don Florencio Garcia Goyena has exposed to me, I hereby accept the resignation which he has made of the charges of President of the Council of Ministers, and Minister of Grace and Justice, remaining well satisfied with the zeal and loyalty with which he has fulfilled them. " Given at the Palace the 4th October, 1847. " Is signed by the royal hand. " The Minister of Instruction, Commerce, and Public Works, .. "ANTONIO ROS DE OLANO." TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, " In attention to the circumstances which concur in Don Ramon Maria Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, and Captain-General of the army, I hereby nominate him President of the Council of Ministers. " Given at the Palace the 4th October, 1847. " Is signed by the royal hand. " The Minister of Instruction, Commerce, and Public Works, " ANTONIO ROS DE OLANO." Then follow decrees, countersigned by the Duke of VALENCIA, accepting the resignation of Senor CORTAZAR as Minister of Foreign Affairs, of Senor SALAMANCA as Finance Minister, of Senor ESCOSURA as Home Minister, and of Senor SOTELO as Minister of Marine, in all of which the same expressions of " satisfaction at the, zeal and loyalty," &c., are em ployed. Generals CORDOVA. and Ros DE OLANO re tain their places. Then follow three other decrees, countersigned by NARVAPI, appointing Don LORENZO ARRAZOLA, Deputy to the Cortes and Fiscal of the Supreme Tri bunal of Justice, to be Minister of Grace and Jus- Lice ; Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA ORLANDO, Conde de Romera, Senator and Military Intendant, to be Minister of Finance; and Don Luis JOSE SAR TORIUS, Vice-President of the Congress and Minister Plenipotentiary, to be Minister of the Home De partment. There is still a Minister of Marine wanted. Senor Mox left for Paris on the 3d, to solicit the return of Queen CHRISTINA to Madrid. MADRID Boisa.—Three per Cents., 274 ; Five per Cents., 17k. Exchange on London, 48f. 80c. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The M oniteur of Saturday publishes the following official announcement of the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between France and Persia : " France had, until late years, only carried on an indirect and unimportant trade with Persia. It was monopolised by the Orientals, who purchased at Con stantinople and in the fairs of Germany some of our productions, which they imported through Erzeroum and Tabriz, while a small quantity of merchandise of Persian origin was sent to us in exchange via Smyrna. The abandOnment of the former channel of com- munication has already favoured, in a material de gree, the relations between Persia and Europe, and they must extend still more in consequence of the esta blishment of the steam-boat lines in the Mediter- ranean, which are now in direct communication with Trebizonde, the principal mart of the Persian trade. In presence of such a state of things, it was indispen sable that we should secure to ourselves guarantees for the future, and, with that view, to endeavour to con vert the benevolent assurances our mission to Persia had received at different periods from the Cabinet of Teheran into positive and formal stipulations. The Government of the King accordingly instructed Count de Sartiges to propose to that Cabinet a treaty of commerce and navigation which should secure to us the treatment of the most favoured nation, and which would recognise, moreover, the right of the King's Government to nominate consular agents on points where the commercial interests of the two countries might require the presence of such func tionaries. After a negotiation, in the course of which our envoy at Teheran obtained the most positive evidence of the desire of the Persian Government, and particularly the Prime Minister of the Schah, Hadji-Mirza-Agassi, to maintain the most friendly relations with France, the treaty in question was signed by the respective Plenipotentiaries on the 24th of July last. It consists of six articles, founded on the principle of the treatment of the most favoured nation, and of which the tenour is in accordance with the dignity of the Government of the King, the in terests of French trade in Persia, and the protection of our countrymen. The first article grants Frenchmen a right to travel, trade, reside, and establish any branch of industry in the Persian territory, and to be treated there as the subjects of the most favoured nation— that is, as Russian subjects, whose privileges are sti pulated at considerable length in the commercial treaty signed at Turkman Tchai on the 10th of Feb., 1828. According to the treaties concluded with Persia by Russia and Great Britain, the merchandise imported into Persia by the subjects of those Powers pay 5 per cent. on entering the kingdom, and the merchandise exported a similar duty of 5 per cent. on exportation. We shall experience the same treat ment, in that respect, in Persia, in virtue of the 2d article, which is so worded, that if a reduction of the tariff takes place in favour of another Power, we shall likewise be admitted to enjoy it. The articles 3d, 4th, and sth have for their object to attribute to the agents of the King's Government an entire juris diction over their countrymen, to guarantee the rights of the heirs of Frenchmen who should die in Persia, and to concede to each other the power to establish consuls on the points where their presence is most advantageous, that is, for France, at Tehe ran, the seat of the Persian Government, and the centre of political interests ; at Tabriz, the great entrepot of the trade of the provinces of Aderbaidjan, Irak, Hamadan, and Kurdistan ; and, finally, at Bendir Bouchir, the port of importa tion for the productions of India and Europe, and through which our colony of Bourbon may open a profitable intercourse with Persia. On her side France will admit Persian agents at Paris, Marseilles, and Bourbon, if it pleases the Schah to accredit them. In giving to that treaty, by the royal ratification, a definitive sanction, the Government of the King hopes that the stipulations it contains, at the same time that they attest the favourable dispositions which animate the Persian Government, are calculated to insure to France an advantageous and suitable position in those remote countries, and to develop our commercial relations. The persevering skill evinced by Count de Sartiges since he resided at Teheran has contri buted to this fortunate result, which has been con firmed by the appointment of an ambassador to the King—a fact the importance of which escaped nobody in the East. The chief of that mission, Mohammed Ali Khan, was, moreover, by the elevation of his mind and his knowledge of European affairs, the personage most competent in his country to attain the object which the Persian Government proposed to itself." The National has the following on the subject o the new loan : "We did not think that we should have again and so soon to occupy ourselves with the state of our finances ; but the reports at present in circulation, —reports in which we hitherto placed no confidence —not permitting us to doubt that the Minister of Finance is seriously thinking of contracting a loan, we feel it a duty to publish our opinion on this grave subject. It is proposed, we are • told, to contract a loan of 850,000,000 f. in Three per Cent. Stock at a moment when this security is much depreciated, and is offered at 10f. below the price which it produced fifteen months since—that is, at 13 per cent. less— and when every circumstance is unfavourable to the borrower. There are periods when it is not permitted to a Government to calculate ; for example, at the approach of a war the honour of the country and the independence of the soil do not in such a case permit the slightest hesitation. But at the pre sent moment no such case exists, not even the pretext of a want of money, since 35 or 36 months are to be allowed to the contractor, so that he will scarcely have 10,000,000 f. a month to pay. Could not a sum so trifling have been raised by other means, without being obliged to have recourse to a loan at so unfa vourable a moment, leaving the contractor all the chances of a future rise ? So that if the Three per Cents. should reach 85—the price they touchedl ast year—a profit of 40,000,000 or 45,000,000 would fall into the pockets of the contractor. If that were the only loss sustained by the Government, it would still be worth saving ; but it is not so, inasmuch as a loan has secret articles attached to it. We cannot quote all those articles, but one is public, which is, that the Government engages not to contract a further loan until after the full payment of the last loan contracted, that is, in the present case three years, during which, whatever may occur, the Government must not borrow. As for our part, we should wish, not only that the Minister should not contract the projected loan at present, but that he should once for all renounce and cease to make use of such instruments as he does for those operations, and that he should borrow directly. The manner is simple and easy. That mode would procure numerous ad vantages, of which the principal would be-1. To get rid for ever of those onerous and dangerous interme diaries as much by the importance given to them as by the custom of making use of them. 2. To effect a notable economy in the issue of Three per Cent. stcck, and to take advantage of the gradual rise in the value of public securities. 3. Not to confine the Go vernment by an engagement not to contract a further loan. 4. To invite a correspondence with serious and numerous capitalists, who would be found in difficult times, as soon as they shall have contracted the habit, to treat directly with the Government." The Journal des Debats has atlength broken silence on the affairs of Spain, and accounts for its former taciturnity on the score of its respect for the QUEEN. In speaking of the late Ministry, it says— As the Moderate party possesses the majority in the present Cortes, the new Ministry would have dis solved the Chambers, and have had recourse to new elections. Naturally no means, go od or bad, would have been spared to obtain a Progressista, majority in themselves that new Cortes. Certain p arties flattered t u h e s orderpain forof succes sionspaint at constitutionally would established a constituti on. In that case, the divorce of Queen Isabella would have been effected, and an union would have bee n accom p lished between her ch a ng e i and the Count de Montemolin. Such were the plans formed, and almost publicly avowed, both in Madrid and in London. It was to play a double game on Spain at the same time—the game of revolution and of counter-revolution. Every effort was made to win ; we shall even add, that too much was done. It is laboured to disunite in place of effecting a reconciliation—to encourage calumny, instead of silencing it. We shall not dilate upon all that was at once immoral and illiberal in such a line of policy. Public opinion has done it full justice. In the face of all those intrigues, we have never ceased to have full confidence in the Queen and in the Spanish people. We werc certain that the Spanish nation would not endure indefinitely the attacks made or premeditated without scruple against its independence and its constitution. We were convinced that the penetration of the young Queen would demonstrate to her the true friends and the real enemies of her liberty, her dignity, and her repose. The intrigue has been defeated. It has been deranged by the natural and national sentiments which it could not fail to inspire. We trust that the Spanish Moderate party will prove that it really is the Liberal, as well as the Monarchical party, and that General Narvaez will ,prove himself the most faithful, as he is already the most illustrious, repre sentative of it." From this last sentence it would appear as though the intriguers of the Tuileries and the Hotel de Cour celles doubted NARVAEZ. For the sake of Spain, we hope that these doubts may prove well founded, and that NARVAEZ will show that the first duty be owes is to his SOVEREIGN and his country, and will recol lect that he was a Spaniard before he became an Afrancesado. The Constitutionnel says—" We are inclined to be lieve that our Ministry was as much surprised by the downfal of the Salamanca Cabinet as it was by the check of Narvaez. Spain is placed under the govern ment of chance, tempered by palace intrigues. If M. Guizot had had the slightest part in that new change, his journals would have certainly accompanied the an nouncement by some indication relative to the imme diate cause of the event. Be this as it may, it would be puerile to regard the entrance of Narvaez, Sala manca, or any other person into the Cabinet of Madrid as a political event. Spain is not the theatre of party contentions, nor even of a struggle between foreign influences. A Euro pean question has been raised by the double mar riage. Until that question be settled between France and England everything must be uncertain, preca rious, provisional, in the country where it was asserted those marriages would restore peace and prosperity. We know not what attitude the new Spanish Ca binet will assume, and what changes will be made in the interior of the palace. If Narvaez acts the part which is assigned to him here, he will rather envenom than contribute to solve the question. One thing is certain, however—that the change in the Cabinet, whatever may be its causes, is but an incident of little importance in the grave European complication which our conquerors of the Mediterranean have involved us in." The National accounts for the change by the fact that considerable sums were remitted to Madrid by Madame MUNOZ about a month ago, and that gold is an irresistible argument in Spain. In support of this view, it may be mentioned that it was currently rumoured in Paris that it was only on the pre vious Saturday that the remittance reached NARVAEZ, who immediately visited SERRANO and was without delay nominated Prime Minister, Senor SALAMANCA having, in the course of the day, set off for Aranjuez, accompanied by Senor GAR DANA, the rival, as it is said, of SERRANO. But as the National observes, " the difficulties of the Spanish question are not of a nature to be made smooth by NARVAEZ. The great question is still the law to be passed for regulating the succession of the QUEEN. To secure the throne for the sons of the Duke de MONTPENSIER is the object of the Cabinet of the Tuile ries. At London, they are urging a divorce, in order to give the hand of ISABELLA to MONTEMO LIN. Onl this condition the Spanish Government would be acknowledged by the Northern Powers. In both cases, war must be the result, unless the Government, after having broken off the English alli ance for the Spanish marriages, should become ter rified at the probable consequences of the hasty act; in which case it will have committed an act of folly, only to end with an act of weakness.

The Court for the revision of the electors of the borough of Finsbury commenced its sittings this morning, at eleven o'clock, in the Vice-Chanceller's Court, Lincoln's Inn. fields. The number of claimants were 54. The usual formalities having been gone through, the Court proceed with the lists of the parish of St. James's, Clerken well. In the lists there appeared to be a great number of errors, which led to the names of a great number of voters being struck off the lists. The Court, notw i t h s t an ding the prayer of th e over seers to have the case " looked over" on account of its being the first time, the size of the parish, the short ness of the time allowed for completing the li s t s , & c., and a promise to avoid the repetition of like mistakes for the future, fined them in the sum of five pounds. MIDDLESEX. (Before L. SHADWELL, Esq.) The revision of the lists of voters of the liberties and parishes of Westminster took place at the Vice- Chancellor of England's Court, Westminster, to-day. The following are the parishes included in these lists, viz. :—St. Ann's, St. George's, St. Clement Dane's, St. James's, St. John the Evangelist's, St. Margaret's, St. Mary-le-Strand's, St. Paul's, Covent-garden, and the liberty of Lincoln's Inn. There were several corrections in the addresses of the claimants, and several names were expunged in consequence of death and misdirection. The lists were gone through before one o'clock. Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., arrived in London this morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail steam-ship Countess of Lonsdale, which vessel left Ilainburgh on Saturday. Mr. Buckingham left town this morning for Edin burgh, where his lectures on the countries of the Oriental World are announced to commence in the ensuing week. The Rev. John Macnaughten, of Paisley, one of ' the most eloquent o f S cott i s h divines, preached yester day mornin g an d even i ng to crowded congregations in the new Presbyterian church, Islington. THE BENEFIT OF CRIME.—Mr. Anderson, solici tor to Mr. Maclean, who has a judgment for 2181. 15s. 3d. against Mr. Browne, the Irish barrister, lately sen tenced to transportation for bigamy, but whose sentence was commuted to voluntary exile, applied Sir William Somerville for leave to arrest him while he was in • prison. Sir William Somerville refused granting that power, and as the Sheriff had no jurisdiction over the prison where Mr. Browne was confined, the latter, by d laying his departure until Sunday, escaped the clutche of the bailiff. DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND'S ESTATES.—We understand the present Duke entertains projects of ex• tensive improvements of his large property, and that he intends (as a commencement) to offer his tenantry a more permanent tenure of their farms, by granting leases on corn rents based upon and varying with the averages of the Tithe Commutation Act.—Carlisle Journal. CHILD DROPPING.—On Saturday information was circulated that a male child, about a month old, had been dropped in the garden ground fronting the house No. 4, Bruuswick•row, Queen-square. It was dressed in quite a superior manner, was wrapped in a silk tartan scarf, and had on a hood trimmed with three rows of Valenciennes lace. The child is now in the Holborn union workhouse. . . .

The state of agricultural and trading affairs was tolerably prosperous. Although it is imperative that railway calls should be moderated, there should be some moderation in the ex cessive outcry raised against different companies, as a party interested justly remarks:— " Has it been of no slight advantage that at a time that all Ireland was starving, and our own manufactories were at a stand still, five hundred thousand men were employed in this country usefully and profitably in the creation of railways? Undertak ings of benefit to each individual, that have carried with them wealth to every place they have touched, and that must economise the strength and service of our army, that must to Government be the means of great national defence, in addition to the unspeakable benefits the manufacturer, the agriculturist, the mining interest, and the whole community enjoy from the rapid and cheap transit now afforded them. And yet to proclaim that capital so employed is unproductive, appears to be about as wise as to prohibit the daily national expenditure in newspapers, or any other article of public utility. The real and indisputable truth is, we have undergone a year of severe visitation in the deficiency of our crops, and whether we had railways or none, the same distress would have existed, only, perhaps, in a less mitigated form ; for the capital which, in 1844 and 1845, found employment in railway invest ments, would, in all probability, but for these under takings, have sought a return in foreign bonds and foreign enterprise, which, sad as things now are, may have left our affairs still worse. Regarding the railway calls, it seems to escape general notice, that the railway companies have had much difficulty in renewing debentures falling due, and hence the pressure of calls has been increased by the necessity of providing for this contingency ; but we blame directors for having made calls beyond what they had led their shareholders to expect." . The public Securities have been to day exceedingly heavy again, and with no apparent disposition to rally them. Several large Bull accounts have been closed within the last day or two, and the scarcity of money makes a growing impression upon the value of the funds, aggravated as it is by the serious reduction in the re venue. Tranfers are being effected in most of the English securities, ex dividend, as the books are re-opened, and the payments commence on Wednesday. Consols have been 83k to 82i for Transfer, and 83k to 82i for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 12s to 6s discount, and East India Bonds 183 to 25s discount. Bank Stock has realised 1851 to 182 k ex. dividend, and India Stock is as low as 222. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 83i to 83, and the Reduced Three per Cents. 82k to 81k.
