one that fills no mean position in Parisian society. " Le Concierge " is indeed a personage who possesses much power of annoyance, and whose good offices it is essential to the comfort of the " locataire" to secure. " Sporting Life from London," by Lord William Lennox, shows what can be seen and enjoyed by the London resident at a moderate expense in any description of sport, and the great facilities given by " the rail," which permit the man about town to participate in all the field sports. " Hunting in the Forest of St. Ger mains" exhibits a striking contrast to the modus ope randi in France and our own country ; and " The Seasons of Forty-five and Forty-six" gives some good hints for the amendment of the game-laws, although we confess we should be disposed to go rather farther than the writer. Altogether the number will afford a rich treat to a very numerous body of our coun trymen. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW' " The Chapels Royal, being No. 3 of the Churche s s of London," exhibits th e p rev ailing feelingofThhe Oxford and Camb r id ge i n the strong, ie,stlsig a close ht. writer, who signs hi mse lf " Ridley, elevates stickler for fo rms an d ceremonies,udue magni and n matters of trivial import into tude. He is evidently strongly intoche first water—for i no culated with Tracta- rian views—a Puseyite ° no less than twenty-three mor tal pages he proses in a strain of whining cant a t the informalities and at omissions observedthe Chapels Royal, which he traces back to the t ime of the Revolution of 1688 , asserting that William the Third was not a Church man at all, but a P r esbyterian at heart, who had no sympathy w ith Anglican Episcopacy, to which he only conformed as a matter of state policy. The two first Georges he sets down as still more insensible to the merits of the Ecclesiastical S y stem. He lashes h imsel f into a s t a te of virtuous indignation, because the prayers are what he terms " talked or preached," in place of being said (by which he means chanted) or sung. The Bishop who preached, not having knelt down when he entered the pulpit, but merely leant over the cushion, excites his bile in the strongest degree, although he states that he considers private prayer in the pulpit as an innovation of a puritannical period in the church's history and one of very doubt ful propriety, as it is out of all order to offer up prayer at all in the pulpit. We could not have con ceived that any rational man in his sober senses could possibly drivel out such ridiculous twaddle. A royal duchess attending the St. James's Theatre on a Friday, a double fast, as he expresses in italics to mark the enormity, and the Opera on Saturday should be debarred according to this formalist from attending the mid-day service. And he asks, " Why should the Church give way to, and thereby countenance such profanity ?" It is hard to tell whether it is the attendance of the Royal Duchess, at the Chapel Royal, or the performance of the morning service at mid-day that he designates in these terms. Indeed he does not in his strictures, by any means, spare the highest personage in the realm— the admitted head of that Church, of which he appa rently prafesses himself to be a member—but unhesi tatingly states that our Sovereign Lady is grievously at faultin those respects ; while even the Bishop of London himself comes in for a share of his censure " for conniving at, if not participating in, such irregu larities." But that at Whitehall is still worse. There is no exhibition of a cross in any part of it ! Nay, horribile dictu, the entrance is not at the west end, but the north ! !The altar is not at the east, but at the south !! ! Can any good be hoped for in a country that tolerates such awful profanity ? We trust that the friends and relatives of this singu larly unhappy gentleman will pay close attention to the state of his health, and not suffer him to remain too long by himself. We entertain many serious misgivings as to the state of his mind. There are many other articles, to which we hare not space to advert, but none are characterised by the out rageous absurdity of that to which we have just alluded. " The Country Curate's Tale " is told in simple and pleasing language ; and there is a resume of the proceedings which took took place during the recent election for the Chan cellorship of Cambridge, with which the general reader is already acquainted, but which is properly in cluded in a periodical devoted to the interests of the Universities. THE PLOUGH. A useful number to the agriculturist. The chief article, that on " Leases," by Professor Donaldson, conveys many sound truths that shou'd be atten tively perused and maturely considered, both by the owners and occupiers of the soil. It traces the mode in which property in land was originally acquired, viz., by the priority of occupation, and the subsequent labour bestowed, and the tacit acquiescence of the remaining portion of the community in the title thus obtained. The two great classes—the nobles and serfs—who, in times of old, were al.,ne interested in lands, and the gradual springing up of an intermediate class who obtained grants for a specified time ; the injurious effects of any extraordinary sti pulations or restrictions by which the lessee would be fettered in the free enjoyment of his holding. No person can be induced to expend his capital or labour in the improvement of the land, unless he had the certainty that himself or his children would be permitted to reap the benefit thereof. Convince him of that, and he at once becomes anxious to bring his tenement into the highest degree of fertility and cultivation. It is to the want of this certainty of tenure, that many of the evils under which our Irish brethren have been suffering may be traced ; and the Professor clearly points out the advantages, to the landowner himself, of adopting a liberal policy with regard to his tenantry. The " Notes on Turnip Husbandry" give some valuable hints to those who have recourse to that crop, which will be more extensively used in consequence of the failure of the potato, as to the nature of the soil and the descrip tion of manure best adapted therefor ; and there is a long article on the agriculture of Northumberland ; which is worthy the attention of farmers in all parts of the kingdom. Ons of the plates gives an improved plan for a cottage for a farm labourer. THE FARMERS' IVAGAZINE. • A collection of reports of many meetings of the farmers' clubs in various parts of the country, and the proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. There are also articles on the cultivation of carrots, parsnips, best mangold wurzel, and other descriptions of produce, which will be interesting to the occupiers of land. An account of the "Presenta tion of a piece of Plate to the Rev. 11. Bond;' ex hibits, in the strongest light, the feelings entertained by the tenant farmers as to the injurious effects of a sive. • rdance of game to their properties, and also superabundance the moral and social evils arising to the peasantry from the practice. THE RAILWAY MONTHLY MAGAZINE Contains the usual monthly summary of railway intelligenee. The first article relates to the contest between the South-Eastern and London and Brigh ton, as to the projected lines in Kent, in which it strongly advocates the interests of the South-Eastern Company. There is an interesting account of the vaticinations of Thomas Gray, the railway pioneer, or prophet, as he is here termed, who still lives in obscurity and comparative poverty. While others have made princely fortunes in follow ing the path indicated by him, poor Gray obtains his livelihood by dealing in glass on commission, and trading with glaziers, while those for whom he pre dicted are in the enjoyment of all the luxuries that wealth can afford, Gray is all but penniless. This is said to be the age of testimonials. Why has not one been presented to that enthusiastic and persever ing man, sufficient to give Gray comfort in his declin ing years ? MONTHLY RAILWAY RECORD The second number of a new,reaiiltwy of Railwayayperioiical. h It contains articles on Trains," en the "Recent Railway :Meetings a andnd Gua rantees their ns Results," on "Railway Loa :, and on the " ," on " Indian Railways, Lam beth Extension in connexion with the South- Comp any.

Foremost amon gs t these may s be placed the Railway Register. Mr. Clarke, its Editor, possesses a sound and practical knowledge on the subject, and brings that knowledge into opera tion with hearty gopd will and etTective talent. All his articles in the present number are admirable. The first, on " Physical Economy," a preliminary inquiry into the physical laws governing the periods of famines and panics, possesses a melancholy in terest at the present period of destitution and distress, his manner of calculating the term of fifty-four years, which he asserts to be the cyclar period of famine, is very ingenious, and the authentic records to which he refers as to the price of grain, during the different periods afford the strongest confirma tion to his theory. English and Irish railways pre sent strongly the national advantages to be derived out the project of the li ne ta f rom carrying Valencia. The mere fact that by its Con struction a traveller ca n be conveyed to a point 104 degrees west of London in eighteen hours, by embarking from which he would be freed f r o m all the delays and dangers of the Channel navigation, and have the clear and open ocean to the Western Hemisphere, and the increased rapidity of intercourse that would be attained thereby, is alone su ffi cient to insure its success. When foreign potentates are making such exertions to forward our communication with our Eastern dominions, we would, indeed, ex hibit a most culpable apathy if we neglected that which would afford to all European travellers to America the greatest degree of personal safety, rapidity o f transit, and security of property. There are many other admirable papers which a want of space prevents us from noticing in the manner in which they deserve. We can safely recommend the number to our readers. It will con vey much valuable information. The present is the best number that has yet appeared. Immediate].) , in 3 vols., SECOND EDITION OF TANCRED. By B. DISRAELI, 31. P.

O. , tromag LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1847. Refreshed by the vacation which has just termi nated, the Parliament recommences its labours this evPning. Considering the amount of business got through during the first interval of the session for \ eighteen hundred an d f or ty- s even, we may reasonably anticipate se ea i r energeticp neatly ate an continuation of what has been coarnntienced: . Spring, now giving forth the green leaf lature a very rationialvilli naturally afford the Legis the cultivate fieldilsreuleg the bountiful fruition of towards for directing its energies elsewhere than vegetation as in any con ceive the auspicious inoveineenitaran'ol,t: Not that we manner justifying the drawing its attk ntiun altogether in w ith - s stet island. On the contrary,geer fr om the satisfied that, unless the provident care of th e ar : ve rnment be extended Inwards th e suffering n - popula tion of that portion of the United Kingdom, the miseries of the two pa s t winters will inevitably la: repeated with increased violence hereafter. unless the precautions of the Administrative age n t s , under the Lord-Lieutenant and the Cornnais: i sariat in Dublin, be persevered in through out the four provinces of Hiberuia ; unless the peasantry are instigated in every con ceivable way to fructify the ground by labour; unless science and industry, and assi duity, be combined with self-reliance and fortitude among the various classes of the Irish community, it is certain—it is mournfully and horribly certain— that the woes of 1845-46, and the still greater calamities of 1846-47 will be renewed and probably be redoubled in 1847-48. Every one is satisfied of this. No one has the audacity or absurdity to deny it. Procrastination in the tillage and drainage, and manuring and sowing of the soil, must revive the now diminished starvation, the now abated despair, and the now decreased mortality of the Irish million. Nevertheless, we are persuaded that sufficient time has been occupied by the Parliament in exclusively legislating for Ireland. We are satisfied that a suffi cient impetus has been given to the resources of that afflicted part of these dominions by the undivided and assiduous attention of the Legis lature. We are convinced that as the Lords, the Commons, and the Ministry have so admirably fulfilled the expectations of the multitude, by striving to alleviate the anguish of Ireland, so they have exonerated themselves from the possi bility of any blame in turning to other questions of internal and external polity immediately upon the close of the Easter vacation. By a magnificent and magnanimous forgetfulness of self, England has during the past appalling interval proved her readi• ness to aid her sister island to the very uttermost. In her sorrows Ireland has received Saxon sympathy, Saxon money, Saxon food, and—what is most pre cious of all to the donor—Saxon time. Unstintingly these things have been lavished upon the famishing and helpless children of Hibernia. If we cannot ex pect the Milesian blood of the nation to warm towards us in gratitude, we may at least anticipate that the hearts of the Irish people will not be hardened against those who have afforded them such inestimable assistance. Ireland must remember, therefore, during the remainder of this session that the first Par liamentary energies, the first monetary sur plus, the first emotions of generosity, the first pickings of the granaries of 1847 have been lavished upon her without stint. It is surely admissible, after these arduous exertions on behalf of Ireland, that the Government should be per mitted, without the invidious aspersions of the disaffected, to consider other matters besides the distresses of Ireland —matters which have been continued rather too long in abeyance in conse quence of the very ardour with which the woes of Ireland were debated, and of the pertinacity with which measures were taken for their amelioration. We are gratified to perceive something like a direct inti mation that such is the intention of Parliament in that portion of the Parliamentary business which is already sketched out prospectively. Questions re lating immediately to the well-being of the British community—questions involving the sanatory condi tion and educational condition of the populace— questions bearing upon the state of our sea• men and soldiers—questions affecting, indeed, both directly and indirectly, every class and order of the community, remain in abundance, either partially solved or altogether untouched. Beyond this, our foreign relations are still embarrassed and complicated. Besides the Gordian knot of Ireland, the Legislature has many intricate webs to unravel. Political intrigue has met with a severe and unex pected check in the Court of Madrid; we wish we could go the length of saying that it has suffered a complete overthrow. The greatest change has been effected, not only in the Government, which, unfor tunately for Spain, has been of too frequent occur rence of late years, but also in the personnel of the household appointments in the palace, and which, as it was of a most sweeping character, we regard as highly auspicious for the future honour and dignity of Queen IssnELLA and the interests of her subjects. To the firmness, as well as the discriminating judg ment of her MAJESTY, which, happily for Spain in particular, and Europe at large, seems to show itself " equal to the occasion sudden," must every admirer of constitutional freedom feel himself mainly indebted for the spirited manner in which she has cleansed out the Augean stable. The conduct also of her actual Ministers, to whom the Sovereign addressed herself at a crisis when the exercise of her legitimate functions was attempted to be controlled in a most insulting and humiliating way, will be viewed with intense satisfaction full allowance being made for the degenerated condition of the Court where the scene was enacted, and the occult, though well understood, influence by which the despe rate manoeuvres of the factious were sup ported. The odious Camarilla is at length scat tered to the winds. For the first time since her acces sion the QUEEN may be said to be disenthralled from the fetters that reduced her occupancy of the throne to a mere figure of speech. how long this salutary change may last, seeing the hotbed of cabal and intrigue which has so long infected every political circle in Madrid, and the factions into which public men are split, it is impossible even to surmise. All we observe is, that a great move has been made in the right direction, which we trust will serve to kindle the embers of patriotism, and rouse the sons of Spain to evince a chivalrous loyalty and secure to their QUEEN the maintenance of her undoubted prerogatives. It appears that after her MA JESTY had formally cashiered the Camarilla minions of the QUEEN-MOTHER, and, conse quently, of French domination, the Marchioness of SANTA CRUZ and the Count DE CUMBRES ALTAS in sultingly insisted upon the retention of their posts. The latter, with two others, M. EGANA and M. RUBIANES, were forthwith very properly arrested. Ultimately, this outrage upon royalty was compro mised by their all vacating their places. DE CUMBRES ALTAS was dispatched to Valencia, guarded by sol diers ; the Marchioness will receive her salary, though holding no appointment. It would be out of place to criticise such an arrangement with English feelings and English notions of government. The bare relation of such a posture of affairs is sufficient to induce us to sympathise with a QUERN, who, to gether with well-intentioned Ministers, felt herself, perhaps, constrained, by prudence, from not carrying her rebuke of the indignity she sustained further than we have mentioned. Mr. BITLWER, it is understood, has not mixed him self in any way with these recent proceedings. Far better is it that the QUEEN, aided by her subjects, should voluntarily, and without foreign intervention, emancipate herself from the unprincipled thraldom in which she has been kept. M. OLOZAGA has received a full pardon, and is permitted to return to Madrid. This is a just and wise step. The public services of M. OLOZAGA will not be without their value in the present disorganized state of affairs in Spain. Great expectation prevails with respect to the financial mea sures to be brought forward by the Ministry. It is believed that they will embo ly a recommendation for the further sale of the church and corporation pro perties, the proceeds to be disposed of, first to satisfy the interest of the national debt, and next to the liqui dation of the principal. The clergy are to derive a revenue of three per cent. on the amount realised by the contemplated sales. We hope the Minister of Finance will find himself zealously seconded in the Cortes in his prposed attempt to regenerate the cre dit of his country. Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The Pacheco Ministry has commenced its career well and boldly. It has expelled the execrable Cams rills from the Palace. The notorious Marchioness of SANTA CRUZ; Don PEDRo EGANA, the Palace In tendant; Senor RUBIANES, Commander of Hal bardiers ; Colonel GUIZAS, Lieutenant of the same corps ; and the Count DE CUMBRES ALTAS, Lord of the Bedchamber—all appointed by Queen CHRISTINA, all spies and agents of the wife of MUNOZ, and consequently of the Court of the Tuileries, have been expelled from the Palace at the express desire of the peareidthsattantdhien QUEEN. So accustomed had these persons been to tyrannize over and coerce the young QUERN, that ts _they actually refused to leave the Palace, and used notwithstanding insulting language to her MAJESTY, and, appointed by Queen tß g va t l h a e c i e r o d n isin th i e ss 4 al th o , n a n t d h ere3sdu,mthey theirap - ordin . ary duti es nor the Ministers , alleging Her MAJESTY sent for MAzzaarDo and that as they had been had RISTINA, neither the QUEEN h power . to dismiss them. senor _er Ministers, and General S4L4aitßc4 soon arrived at the Palace, and announced to the astonished Came rills that the only Queen who had any authority in Spain was the constitutional Queen ISABELLA, and that it was her pleasure they should be dismissed. CUMBRES ALTAS, EGANA, and RUBIANES, having refused to obey, were placed under arrest, when the two latter surrendered at discretion, and resigned their places ; the former was deprived of his, and sent as a prisoner to Valencia. The Marchioness of SANTA CRUZ resigned her place, but was permitted to retain her salary. Senor ESCOSOURA is appointed Political Chief of Madrid; Senor PENA AGUAYA, Intendant of the Palace, and Senor VENTURA DE LA VEGA, Private Secretary to the Queen. General NARVAEZ has ac cepted the Paris Embassy. The Madrid Gazette publishes a formal document, drawn up by the Minister of Grace and Justice, as Notary of the Kingdom, setting forth the petition to the QUEEN of OLOZAGA, and the declaration of her MAJESTY, that—of her own free will, and inde pendently of all Ministerial influence—she accorded its prayer, together with pardon and forgetfulness for what had passed. It is signed by all the Ministers. Annexed to it is a royal decree, signed by the Q UEEN ancl the ee President lare s that, of being the anxious Council, in which her MA JESTY d to reconcile all Spaniards, she frees Senor OLOZAGA. from the prosecu tions pending against him, and authorises him to re turn to Madrid. On the 4th, the QUEEN went to the Theatre del Principe, and was received with the loudest acclama tions, as if the public had been anxious to show that she might rely upon her people in the exercise of her prerogative. After what had just taken place at the Palace this demonstration assumed a remarkable cha racter. Senor SALAMANCA is, it is said, about to propose a plan for the sale of church property, to be applied to the liquidation of the debt, the clergy to have settled on them a fixed annual revenue, equal in amount to three per cent. upon the proceeds of the sale. The corps of army, 12,000 strong, stationed on the frontier of Portugal, under the command of General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA, was ready to enter that kingdom on receipt of orders from Madrid. The sth being a holiday the Boune remained closed. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal des Debuts has a long article in allu sion to the report that M. GUIZOT was at the bottom of the late changes in the Spanish Ministry, and is exceedingly bitter with the Presse for undertaking the defence of M. GUIZOT against such niaiseries. It says— " We had not read those lucubrations of the hostile journalists, and we frankly confess, that if we had read them, we should not have taken the trouble to defend M. Guizot. We should have regarded a reply to such silly accusations as an insult to the gravity of his cha racter; and it is for that reason we are not surprised to Lind his justification undertaken by a journal with a zeal as sincere as it is well understood. There is no ground for alarm ; M. Guizot is not capable of the evil designs imputed to him. He may have disappointed some expectations too hastily evinced, and checked from the outset petty manceuvres, maliciously called intrigues, but it is impossible to suppose that he would yield or surrender Spain into the hands of England ; and, besides, the thing will be looked to. Those great pro tecting airs are very ludicrous. But when the journal in question expresses a hope that M. Guizot will seize the very first opportunity of publicly denying the grotesque views attributed to him, it carries the joke rather too far. One is not obliged to render oneself ridiculous, there are already enough who are so a ithout being aware of it." The split between the young Conservatives, repre sented by the Presse, and the Guizot Conservatives, represented by the Dibats, is becoming every day more apparent. The young Conservatives, to the number of sixty, have taken all the necessary mains to establish themselves as an independent party, under the leadership of the Count DE CASTELLANE. They have announced their intention of supporting the pro position of M. DE REMUSAT for excluding placemen from the Chamber. We have frequently had occasion to notice the general accuracy of the information of the National on Spanish affairs. The National of Saturday gives the following amusing account of the circumstances attending the recent expulsion of the Camarilla from the Palace : " Spain is not only an apple of discord between Eng land and France—she cause* a still greater misfortune— she adds to the discords of the two Conservative journals. The Presse was very sour the day before yesterday; the Debets of yesterday is sarcastic even to impertinence. Whilst these papers dispute, Queen Isabella becomes ferocious. It appears that she has taken in horror the party of the Moderados, enrolled by her mother, and nourished by M. Bresson.:. , After having dismissed the old Cabinet, she has just swept out all its friends and accomplices in the inters' rof the palace. The first lady of honour, the famous Marquise de Santa Cruz, turned out of doors; the captaia of the hallebardiers turned out of doors; the gentleman cavalcadour, Count d e C um b i Altas, turned out cf doors; the ste w a r d o f t h e household, Egana, turned out of doors! All this at one bl ow , and resembles4.oirless.tha h herhlati( is father! T inthe astonishing glish fa s h ion , ne i t h er more n i me , howmuch this girl however, she did an act of justice, at d even of good policy. No Ministry could have held up against the incessant intrigues con cocted in the palace. The Camsrilla constituted by Christina was faithful only to Munoz and his friends. All the band uttered cries of rage when it learned that Isabella had turned out her higher domestics. It had teen necessary to push out Sotumayor by the shoulders; the palace was witness of a scandal ous scene caused by the great lackeys who would not go. The order had been given on behalf of Isabella, and she believed that they had gone away, when she saw them enter the apart ments to do their ordinary duty. They pretended that, having been placed in the palace by the Queen- Mother, the Ministers had not the right to dismiss them. The Marquise de Santa Cruz and the Count de Cumbrai Altas, the Cameriera and the gentleman, de sired to have a personal explanation with the Queen, and their tone was that of a guardian before his ward. Isabella immediately sent for the Ministers. Two only were found at liberty, Mezerredo, Minister of War, and Salamanca, Minister of Finance. This is how our cor respondent recounts the facts:—' Mazerredo himself was furious at the insolence of these people of the palace. He and Salamanca, after having conferred with the Queen, proceeded with firmness to the execution of her orders. They went first to Egana, and said—" Sir, you will immediately remit the stewardship of the palace to Senor Pena Aguaya, who replaces you." Then addressing ltubianes—" The Queen takes from you the command of the hallebardiers which she has confided to the Duke de Baylen—you will conform thereto instantly." And so on with the others. But the Careeriera and Curnbrl; Altas having replied that they occupied posts of confidence in the name of the Queen -Mother-- " Know," said one of the Ministers, " that there is no Queen here except her Majesty Isabella, a Constitu tional Queen, and you will learn without delay what the servants merit who have not o'ieyed her orders without remark." The Ministers immediately ordered an officer to arrest both of them, and Cumbrii Altas was directed to depart for Valencia, where he is de tained prisoner. You cannot picture to yourself the noise which these news made as soon as they were known. The Moderados are furious ; they keep no measure in the expression of their hate ; they announce aloud their projects of vengeance. The meetings which had already taken place under the direction of Pidal, Mon, and Martinez de la Rosa, have been increased to day by the presence of several discontented Generals. There is a talk of nothing less than to excite some officers of the garrison, who can, they belive, be trusted to make a descent in arms into the palace of the Queen. Extravagances of the same kind are agitated by the tail of the party. Our friends witness with a certain interest these events of the decadence. Mr. Bulwer keeps himself in the background with an affecta tion which is too marked; he is said to be exclusively occupied by the affair of Portugal.' We suppress other details more strange than curious on the part given to the King Don Francisco in all this complication. Our correspondent add s t h at the re - ass embling of the Cortes, if they re-assembl e , w i ll b e fo ll o wed by very passionate debates. An ev en i ng journal announc es that dis p atches, received yesterd a y b r i ng n ews of grave troub l es ha v i n g broken out at Madrid. We know not what there ma y be true in thes e news, but i t w ill seem from what pre cedes that they are not impossible. We persist in thinking with M. Guia , ,t, that the dou ble marria g e was the happiest e vent to ren d er S pa in quiet and happy, and to draw closer the two nations. We again felici tate him on this great thing, the only one which has been done during fifteen years. It has succeeded ad mirably!" The Moniteur say s 44 The Bill on secondary in struction has received the royal signature, and will be presented to the Chamber on Monday, with the Bill on primary instruction." The Journal des Chemins de Fer states that the Minister of Public Works has determined not to pro pose any measure for the relief of the railroad com panies. This announcement has brought on the Cabinet and the Chamber the grievous anger of the Presse. The Presse also states, in positive terms, that the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has succeeded in raising a loan of 5,000,000 f., and that he will shortly enter Spain. This is probably put fo rth as a feeler to pre pare the way for the Due D E MONTPENSIER. CHRISTINA and her husband , it is said, return to Madrid towards the end of the month, and it is pro bable the Duc DE MONTPENSIER may accompany them. It is said that Mos, PIDAL, and the Afran cesados are intriguing with the liing-Consort of Spain to get up a pronunciamento against the QUEEN, and rumours were current in Paris on Saturday that serious disturbances had broken out in Madrid. No credit, however, was attached to those rumours. The Union illonarchigue of Friday makes several curious announcements with regard to the foreign policy of M. GUIZOT. It says— _ _ " The interchange of couriers between Paris and St. Petersburg has become exceedingly frequent. From Paris solicitations are made, through some well-known intermediaries, for the appointment and dispatch of a Russian Ambassador to Paris. This has been carried so far as to cause an inquiry to be made, whether, as M. de Barante cannot return to St. Petersburg, this or that nomination would be agreeable to his Imperial Majesty. In this list is found the name of M. Bresson." And further— " We learn that the Austrian Cabinet is performing the office of mediator in the differences between Russia and Greece. M. de Prokesch, the Austrian Ambassador at Athens, is at this moment in Vienna, to rcceive direct from Prince Metternich fresh instructions." The third announcement of the Union 2110- narchique is as follows We believe we are warranted in affirming that M. GuizA, being invited by notes from the Austrian Cabi net, and warmly urged by Count d'Appony to declare himself on the subject of the French policy in Italy, has replied, in the name of the Cabinet, in the most satisfactory manner, declaring that France wtuld not give any encouragement to those who dream of the re constitution of the Italian Union, and CODS' quently. M. Rossi has received instructions enjoining him to harmo nise more and more with the policy of Austria." Thus has M. Gutzow sacrificed, for the sake of the dowry of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER, the position of France as head of the liberals of Europe—Poland, Italy, Spain, France herself, sacrificed for a dowry ! Indeed, M. GuizoT, you " pay too dear for your whistle." According to La Patrie, it is determined to leave for execution the persons convicted of rioting at Buzencais. The KING has decided that the statue of General DaouoT should be placed in the gallery of Versailles.

THE COURT.--Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Royal Family, and the Court, are expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace about four o'clock this afternoon from Windsor Castle. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT: The trial of Alexander, Wilbeam, and another, charg€d with uttering a bill of exchange for 5001., with intent to defraud Messrs. Fuller and Co., the bankers, was postponed until next session. The Recorder having disposed of the only remaining case, which possessed no feature of public interest, the Court rose before the expiration of the morning. The sessions then terminated. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) John Egan was charged with stealing a valuable gold pin, the property of Charles Paternoster, barman at the Nag's Head Tavern, in Leather-lane. The ptisoner entered the house a few minutes before twelve o'clock on Saturday night, when the prosecutor refused to serve him, as it was too late. The prisoner refused to leave the house when ordered to do so, upon which the prosecutor took him by the collar, and a struggle ensued, during which the prisoner made a grasp at his stock, and in a few moments afterwards he found that iris pin had been taken. A policeman was sent for, and while the prisoner was being taken to the station house he was observed to throw something away, and upon searching in the morning the pin was found close to the spot in the channel. He was fully committed to take his trial at the Old WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Inspector Pascoe, of the N division, informed the magistrate (Mr. Broughton) that a robbery of an ex tensive nature was committed at the goods warehouse of the London and North-Western Railway on the morning of the sth instant. The property, which was nearly a ton and a half in weight, consisted of silks, satins, and a variety of Manchester and other drapery goods, directed to various parties. He (Inspector Pascoe) had entrusted the elucidation of this mysterious affair to Dubois and Sanders, two active sergeants of the division,and,through their instrumentality, five of the receivers of the stolen property were yesterday apprehended, and abont halt a ton weight of it was at the same time recovered, t gig. ther with a horse and cart. H. (the Inspector) understood that six of the principals, in the robbery had also been captured in the S (Mar)lebone) division of police. One of the prisoners had made a confession. Mr. bnouGHToN thought that the more prudent plan would be to consult with the Atting Magistrate at the Marylebone police office upon the subject, inasmuch as the principals in the robb.•ry had been taken in that dis trict, and Serjeant Sanders was dispatched thereto, with Mr. Broughton's compliments for that purpose. It was stated that some of the stolen property had been traced to Peckham. SURREY SEssiows—(Tuis DaY).—The adjourned Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey commenced this morning, at the Court- house, Newington-causeway. The calendar was extremely light, owing to the ipro ceedings of the Quarter Sessions held last Monday, at Reigate, and the Surrey Assizes the week previous. The Court was engaged the whole morning in trying vises of petty thefts. Loss OF LIFE nr FlRE.—Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night the neighbour hood of the Broadway, Ludgate-hill, was thrown into a state of the greatest consternation in consequence of Mrs. Mary Ann Maxwell, aged about 45 years, the wife of a respectable master tailor, carrying on business at No. 5, in the Broadway, having lost her life under the sub;oined dreadful circumstances :—lt appears that the poor creature, who was subject to fits, had returned from market, and whilst seated before the fire, supposed to be either in the act of unfastening her boots or stirring the fire, when she suddenly fell forward across the grate in an apopletic fit, and the fire communicating, she speedily was enveloped in -flames, in which condition she was dis covered by Mr. Richmond, one of the tenants of the same house, who having quenched the flames dispatched a messenger for medical assistance, and for the husband of the poor creature. She, however, expired in the most dreadful agonies before their arrival. Upon an examination being made by Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon, of Farringdon street, it was found that the upper part of the unfortunate woman was completely charred over, her face and hands and neck being literally burned to a cinder. NORTHERN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—We un derstand that Arthur Forbes, Esq., of Culloden, has consented to become joint secretary, with Mr. Campbell, seedsman, Inverness, for the Northern Horticultural Society ; and we have no doubt these gentlemen will use every exertion for promoting and extending the interests of this useful society. Mr. Campbell has likewise been appointed treasurer to the society.—Ross-shire Adver tiser. _ _ SUDDEN DEATH OF A SHERIFF'S OFFICER.-Mr. Mills held an inquest on Saturday at the Elephant and Castle, St. Pancras-road, on George Eyles, a sheriff's officer, aged 66. The jury, who proceeded to view the body in a horse in 13a) ham-street, were not a little hot ri fled at beholding deceased sitting in an arm-chair opposite the tire with his clothes and hat on, as if he was enjoying the genial warmth of the blazing coal, being the position in which he died. Thomas Trotman stated that on Thursday afternoon the deceased was put into pos session of his goods under an execution from the Sheriff's Court. At night, and after they had smoked a pipe together, he asked the deceased to go into his (witness's) bed, which he refused to do, saying that he preferred sitting at the fire. Witness accordingly went out, leaving dec , ased, who appeared in the best health and spirits, sitting at the fire. Upon awaking the morning he found deceased sitting in the same position, but quite dead. He instantly went to the Sheriff's office, and related what occurred. The Coroner expressed himself satisfied the deceased's death was purely natural ; but as there was no one in the room but the deceased and the witness, and as the circumstances connected with his death were pe culiar, he would adjourn the inquest for a few hours, to have the body opened for the satisfaction of all parties. Mr. Cooper, the parish surgeon, accordingly opened the body, and found the deceased's death was a natural death. A second inquest was held in the same house on the body of James Peter Pearson, aged two years. It appeared that the deceased, who resided with its parents in an adjoining cottage, was on Friday last playing with another child, when he fell off the pavement betwen the hind and near wheels of a waggon belonging to Mr. Tanqueray, the distiller, of Vine-street, Bloomsbury. Before the child could be rescued his head was forced by the wheel against the kerb. lle was removed with out delay to Mr. Tatham's surgery, when it was found that deceased had ceased to breathe. It was Droved that the driver was going at a steady pace, and that the oc currence was purely accidental. Verdict, " Accidental death." TIIE RECENT CASE OF STABBING NEAR SOHO SQUABE.—On making i7iquiry yesterday (Sunday) at the AliddleA , x Hospital, respecting the unfortunate man Berry, who was stabbed by his wife on the evening of the Bth inst., Mr. Dickson, the house surgecn, stated that he considered him quite out of danger. THE CROPS.—Never did we see, at all events for a considerable period, the crops look so well as at the pre sent time in the neighbourhood of Wigan. During the week the weather has been very changeable, but, to use the farmers' own words, "it has been all for the better." —Preston Pilot. ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—On Saturday the police received information that Alfred nice, clerk to Messrs. Taylor and Co., of Coventry, had absconded with 2031. in gold and Bank of England notes, the property of his employers, and wLich he had been entrusted to convey to the bank. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 8,000 bales, including 4,000 American on speculation. Prices remained as before. Shares were heavy, and on the decline. There is an appearance Of rather more ease in the Money Market this morning. The intense excitement of last week appears to be gradually wearing away. The Stock Markets are more tranquil. There is an advance, however, to be noticed in the Corn Markets this morning. The commercial sales announced for the present week are rather considerable, but in the present state of the Money Market it is not very generally anticipated that prices can rule high. The rate of interest upon the first description of paper is rather on the advance than otherwise in the general dis count market. The directors of the Bank of England are most careful in restricting their accommodation upon mercantile paper, and without reference to any parti• cular and heretofore select firms, with the exception of those known to be carrying on their usual commercial transactions upon the steady principle which has for a long time past marked their operations. The opening price of Consols this morning was 85k, and for the 15th instant 854; but the present values are 851 k for the former, and 85i g for the latter. The value of Consols Scrip is as low as 311 and 4 discount. Bank Stock is worth 195.

The arrivals of all articles of home produce for our market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage, and samples, were on a very limited scale; while from Ireland and Scotland very little grain of any description came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour ware comparatively small, but those of Barley, Oats, and Beans, were tolerably good. From Essex and Kent a moderate quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand, but from the various other counties the receipts of that description of grain were trifling. On the whole,. the stands were fairly su ppl e d w i t h samp l es o f both red and white, yet the demand, owing to the large attendance of London buyers (most of whom were very short of stock), and the provincial markets coming higher, was somewhat active, and $ good clearance was effected, at an advance in the curren7 cies ostained on Monday last of from is to fully 2s per quarter, and at which the market closed firmly. With Foreign Wheat we were by no means heavily supplied. Although there was no inquiry for export, the trade must be considered firm, at a rise iu value of fully Is per quarter. At that amount of improvement, about 3,500 quarters changed bands. The quantity of English Barley brought forward was trifling ; that of Foreign by no means large. All kinds were in steady request, at an improvement of is to, in some few instances, 2s per quarter, and at which a good c l earance was effected. The quantity of Malt brought forward was trifling. Superfine White ' parcels were held at Is per quarter more money. In the value of other kinds we can notice no improvements with a fair demand. The supply of Oats, even including the foreign arrivals of last week, was by no means adequate to meet the wants of the dealers ; how ever, the trade was firm, at 6d to is per quarter above last Monday's prices. The sale for Beans was steady, and a few parcels changed hands at is per quarter more money. In Peas a mode• rate business was transacted, at full prices. Indian corn was steady, at late rates. The Flour trade was steady, but we can notice no improvement in value.

For the time of year the imports of live stock into London continue on a very moderate scale, those since this day se'nniglet having been composed of only 220 Oxen and Cows, 121 Sheep, and 31 Calves, from Holland and Germany. These small importations are generally attributed to the comparatively high prices of stock neer ' ruling on the continent, and which leave,notwithstandin4 the operation of our import laws, an unusually small margin of profit to the shippers. At Hull and the various other outports the arrivals have consisted of about 40 0 head, chiefly of beasts. There were on offer to-dap about 200 Beasts, 120 Sheep, and 19 Calves from abroad, the whole of which moved off slowly on somewh at easier terms. From our own grazing districts, the arri vals of Beasts fresh up this morning were unusu al ly large; indeed, it was one of th e l arges t s upp lies on offer at this seast,n for many years pa s t. A s t o the general quality of the drot , es, we may observe that, compare- Lively specking, it was very good, most of the an im als carrying a large quantity of internal fat, espe c ially those from Norfolk and Scotland. Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was large, the 6 Beef trade, owing to the immense number of Beasts on show, and the change in the weather, was excessively dull, at a de- 4. cline on last we ek's prices of quite 2d per Sibs' the highest quotations for the best Scots not exceeding • 4s 2d per 81bs. At the close of business a large numbe r of Beasts left the market unsold. The arrivals froo! Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire consisted of 1,400 Scots, Homebreds, and Short-horns • from th e northern, western, and midland districts, I,loo'Hereford S ; Bunts, Devons, and Short-horns ; from other parts 0 England, 800 of va r i ous b ree d s; an d f rom S cot l an d, 26u Horned and Polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep Wer e considerably on the increase, and of very excellent qua' lity. The primest old Downs, which were rather scarce; moved off slowly, at last week's prices, viz., from 41 1 01 to 5s 6d per 81bs ; but all cther breeds were very debt and quite 2d per 81bs lower than on this day so'nnighh with a heavy inquiry. With Lambs we were scautilt supplied, yet the Lamb trade was in a very depresse d state, at a fall in value of 4d per 81bs, the highest figu re not exceeding 6s per 81bs. Calves were in short sullif and heavy demand, at Friday's quotations. In rig s ' very little was doing, and the rates h a d a downwar d tendency. Per Albs. to si.

RILEY.—This unfortuna te gentleman, it will be remembered, was murdered on the 11th of January last, while on his road home from She ( ' field to Grimesthorpe-lane. On getting into his hotil, ho exclaimed, " Mary, they have almost murdered me: This was said to his wife, but he could not identify h' murderers. The deceased was attacked on the Mondai,!, and died on the Saturday morning following. Esi'V the next day his watch was found wrapped up in sal cloth, in Mr. Riley's garden, where it had been pin " g," during the night. From information received by oi Raynor, superintendent of police, he caused two me y ' named William Challiner and James Bradley, of Grime s , - thorpe, to be apprehended on Saturday morning hoc It appears, that a Sheffield man had been discovere d ' who had purchased Mr. Riley's watch of the prisoner s, and who, on hearing of the murder, had gone and pis ee , l ti the watch in Mr. Riley's garden, as before describe"' This man, it seems, had kept the secret until Fridoi, last, when he admitted the facts of having purcha se ° the watch and placed it where it was found. The pr i° soners were taken before the mayor, and remanded ill order to complete the evidence a , :ainst them. His Excellency Sir Alex. Alalet, the British Mi c i nister at the court of Wurtemburg, has arrived at Le i r Brougham's, from Stuttgardt, en cove. Lady came to town, from Brougham-hall, to meet his L'xee` lency.
