Itentas LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 22, 1847. Letters of the latest date received from the Penin sula only confirm those anticipations as to the future misfortunes of its inhabitants which were forced upon us by the criminal interference of Louis PHILIPPE in the national affairs of Iberia. Excepting that SALDANHA has approached nearer to the insurgent city of Oporto, and, if he has not actually drawn around it a distinct line of circumvallation, has cer tainly evinced a determination to beleaguer its citizens, the civil disturbances of Portugal appear in no respect nearer their termination. In Spain, again, a partially organized conspiracy in favour of the Conde DE MONTEMOLIN has revealed its existence by several indecisive demonstrations, and the tempera ment of the people generally appears ripe for almost any catastrophe. The positions of the two Sovereigns, though strikingly dissimilar, are naught with very analogous miseries, and in their forebodings possess a certain;degree of similitude. MARIA DA GLoaht is day by day becoming more estranged from her subjects ; her Councils are rendered feeble and vacillating by being characterised by a policy inimical to the spirit of the constitution to which she once swore allegiance ; the influence which she exercises over the Portuguese community has become one of an exclusively physical kind—bayonets having usurped the place of benignity, artillery that of con ciliation, and military tactics that of maternal affec tion. Queen IsAnELLA, on the other hand, is allow ing the rather doubtful loyalty which she once possessed to slip momentarily from her fingers ; her sceptre must soon become more than ever a bauble ; her royal voice must either become hushed altogether, or it will babble idly to the winds of heaven. In the Oriental story we hear of a jealous Prince rendering a neighbouring potentate, who had been hitherto beloved, abhorred by his people by covertly dropping a charmed rose-leaf into his goblet and another charmed rose-leaf on his turban. Louis PHILLIPPE has emulated that Eastern Prince, he has fixed the ban upon IsABELLA 11. by the presentation of twe marriage garlands. He has ren dered her miserable at once, by abandoning her to an imbecile husband, and by abstracting from her independence in the face of the nation over whose destinies. she was selected to preside. Besides their own immediate wretchedness, the two Q►JEENS are each threatened by a multitude of reserved sorrows, those sorrows being associated with the names of Dom MIGUEL and the Conde DE MONTOAIOLIN. With a domestic life embittered by indescribable afflictions, Queen ISABELLE is wholly isolated from assistance and friendship. With a distracted kingdom and a bankrupt exchequer, Queen MARIA DA GLORIA is regarded on all sides with distrust, with indifference s or with absolute disgust. Both these unfortunate Sovereigns are cursed with a precarious and disastrous present, and a frowning and omin ous future. To French guile, to French avarice, to French depravity or, rather, to the guile, avarice, and depravity of the French Government— are attributable all these sufferings, both existing and prospective. By the advancement of 50,000,000 francs from the Emperor NICHOLAS to the Bank of France, we have already intimated that the Russian CZAR has acquired a direct and irresistible influence over the commercial and, consequently, over the political affairs of that country. According to a beautiful and truthful saying, the Parliament of England directs the pulse of Europe. NICHOLAS has assumed to himself a vast proportion of that directing power by the enormous loan already mentioned. Possessing so vast a claim upon the Bank of France, he must naturally have the pulse of the French funds under his thumb, and thereby ob taining an insight into the capacities of France, he will be enabled henceforth to know the point upon which she can be affected most injuriously, or rather the channels through which she may be transformed ir.to a serviceable instrument of Northern despotism. Affecting France in this manner, NICHOLAS will be enabled indirectly to influence those Governments which are either subsidiary or subservient to the Government of Louis Pnuarra. The nerves of Absolutism will stretch from the steppes of Siberia to the boulevards of Paris, and will there ramify onwards to the encampments of Algeria, to the quays of Lisbon, and the palaces of Madrid. It is impossible to shirk the conclusion that for the gratification of the dastardly ambition of a parvenu King, a miserable Princess has been forced to the bridal couch of a man she execrates ; that two nations have been delivered up ".to the accidents of rebellion or the woes of political strife ; that the robbers of Poland have been encouraged to the consummation of their crimes in the seizure of Cracow, and that now by this dis bursement of 50,000,000 francs from the Treasury of St. Petersburgh the cause of Northern tyranny has been armed with a powerful weapon for the dissemi nation of its damning principles in the West, and for the ultimate destruction of civilization. The consequence of these arch-sins against liberty and reason it is difficult to conjecture. One thing, how _ _ _ ever, is certain in the end, and that is retribution. If the antagonists of despotism and barbarity only act in a mariner compatible with the sublime cause of which they will find themselves the champions ; if temper, and wisdom, and energy, and constancy be combined in withstanding the encroachments of the north,—civilization may be advanced instead of being retarded, and the Iberian Peninsula may be restored to happiness after centuries of affliction. What meanwhile are the guerdons reserved for LOUIS PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT ? The indignant voices a the time to come will answer, and their sentence will be inexorable. We offered some remarks last Tuesday upon the admirable letter of Dr. KAY SIIIITTLEWORTII to Mr. ECKETT, who, on behalf of the Committee of Privi leges, had addressed a circular to the ministers of the Wesleyan Association, in which the Government plan of education was strongly objected to. That letter happily exposed the palpable Misrepresentations which were contained in the circular; and in a strain of well-tempered rebuke Dr. SHUTTLEWORTH reminded Mr. ECKETT of the delusion he would have created in the minds of many influential persons upon a subject of great national concern, it some one had not been at the pains to rectify his blunders. Mr. ECKET T has recently replied, acknowledging that chhe aedp"oetorhad inadvertently pa h fallen e " into histh e errors t attention.o Assuming as a matter of coursey d th ra at w t n he errors d \Ne h re not intentional, it i s clear that Mr. EcK Committee of Privil eges are not at. all competenttte° act as the organs of any p u bli c b ody ; for the version w hi c h they gave of the plan of the scheme of the Educational Committee of the Privy Council was . . itr 4 manifestly incorrect, that nothing short of the Ilk . 111 character whichthe Wesleyans have obtained for them - selves could save them from the imputation of having-) designedly published a statement, to produce a belief in others which they themselves could not but know rested upon no legitimate grounds. Mr. ECKETT alleges that the 'Wesleyans are ess averse as ever to the scheme propounded by Lord LANSDOWNE, as though Dr. SHUTTLEWORTH had never noticed his egregious oversights. He sets, forth that many country districts cannot maintain • more than one school. It does not, however, necessarily follow that the single establishment for education should belong to the Church of England. If the school should be under the auspices of members of the Established Church, and receive assistance from the public funds, it would only show that the Dissenters had not been so active as others in occupying ground which lay open to any one to enter, and prepare for promoting the intellectual culture of the adjacent population. The Government, according to the plan pursued ever since public moneys have been placed at the command of the Privy Council for educational objects, never take the,initiative in founding schools; they only assist, without regard to religious distinction, those who have, in the first instance, done much, by contribu tions and the adoption of other active steps, towards facilitating the purposes of national education. Mr. ECKETT observes further:—" We are of opinion that if schools must be supported from the public purse, they ought to be conducted in such a manner that the children of parents of all denominations might equally enjoy their advantages, and that to secure this they ought to be put under popular management." The first remark we would offer upon this passage is, that the Government do not hinder children from enjoying the benefits of public instruction, for their parents can send them to any estab lishment where the doctrines and forms taught and observed are in conformity to their own particular opinions, and which establishment is as eligible as any other to be partially supported out of the public resources. Next, we would inquire what is meant to be implied by the expression of popular management ? It cannot surely mean that schools should be placed under a system which should be ex clusively approved of by the Wesleyans ? Such an expectation would savour of arrogance indeed ! Moreover, the conclusion that such a manner of con ducting schools could not be popular is easily drawn from the very nature of the apprehension which Mr. ECHETT has shadowed forth. If a district can only maintain one school, and if Mr. ECKETT be right in .the assumption that the formularies of the Established Church will be preferred to those of the Dissenters, is not this an argument that popular feeling is rather with the religion of the State than that of any other ? If the wealth, influence, enterprise and members of one class of religionists is such that individuals, who belong to it, can more effectually combine than those who belong to any other class to confer the blessings of educa tion upon their poorer brethren, is it benevolent or charitable to attempt to thwart such combinations ? And does not the very complaint of the Dissenters involve a confession of their own weakness and in ability to supply the extensive and lamentable wants of education ? In a constitutional sense the true test of the popularity of any scheme is whether it will meet with the approval of the popular branch of the Legislature. The Dissenters argue that the Educational Committee of the Privy Council are acting in an unconstitutional manner. This we totally deny. They are not deviating one iota from the principle which has governed their proceedings from the first. However, if they think otherwise, let them petition the House of Commons, and try to persuade that body of the truth of their assertion; but, before they do this, we recommend them to become thoroughly acquainted with all the facts appertaining to the existing systems, and not, as they have done, to be "inadvertently falling into errors." Lastly, does " popular management" signify that schools aided by the State should be purely secular, affording no religious in s t ruc ti on w h a t ever ? If so , it should be remembered that this plan was tried to be carried out in 1839, when the nation, rightly or wrongly, refused to sanction it. Therefore, from very recent experience, we have evidence of the un. popularity which would attach to the renewal this plan. Then what are we to do ? Remain in active with folded arms, whilst a million and a hall of the youthful population, —a number which fear fully increases with every year,—are steeped in ignorance ? Assuredly not. Let the Dissenters, if they can, devise a better system than the one now in force, and secure the acquiescence of the Legislature in its favour; but, if they cannot do this, the moral and intellectual wants of millions ought nut to be neglected, because of the mere existence of differences in the formularies of religion. It is with mingled feelings of horror and indigos ion that we direct the public attention to the pro: ceedings of a naval coda -martial, assembled at Ports mouth on Friday last, for the trial of a private marine, named JOHN BARTON, a full account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday. The offence of which the prisoner was convicted was undoubtedly of a serious character, and one deserving of severe punishment. He had used violent language towards, and struck his superior officer, a colour-sergeant of the same corps, named SAGER, who had just lodged a complaint against him. The affair took place while the vessel was at anchor in the ha rbour a o t e f d A i n n t b i g y u a o , t h a nddid not e rs or occasioned b o havey anyge neral been feeling of insubordination. It was of a purely isolated character, and not of a class that could by any possibility have endangered the safety of the ship. Some grog had been spilled and plates broken in the sergeant's mess, and he had in consequence, although not aware of his own knowledge who had done so, reported the prisoner for punishment. The latter, who was stated t o b e a h ar d -working man, " was in a very exc it e d state, and ap peared asif he had been drinking, but per fectly conscious of what he was doing "—said " that the sergeant was a false-swearing man— that his report was false, and that he had always been down on him," and used threatening language to wards thee - complainant, for which the commanding officer very properly ordered him into confine ment. When the officer had left the place, BARTON struck the sergeant on the back of the head, and kicked him—the blows were not very severe, nor was any extraordinary injury inflicted. Acting-Commander RICKETTS did not appear to have considered the offence as any thing beyond a mere ebullition of passion, for the prisoner was not kept in close custody, but was re leased from the irons when the vessel put to sea, and suffered to go at large until the sergeant remon strated, when he was again put into irons. Upon this state of facts the prisoner was sentenced to death ! !!—to be hanged at the yard-arm ofsuch one of her Maiesrv's ships, and at such time, as the Lords of the . Admiralty should direct. Can it be possible that in the 19th century—in the year 1847=-when many intelligent persons ar e to be found, who contend- that under no possible circumstances the life of a human being should be taken away—that capital punishment should not be inflicted on the wilful, deliberate, and cold-blooded assassin, who coolly plans and unhesitatingly executes the murder of his brother man—there exists a code of such Draconic severity, of so inhuman and atrocious a character, as to justify such a sentence ? Can an Englishman be deprived of life for such a crime, in accordance with the laws of England ? If such a cir cumstance is possible, and that the Articles of IVar can be strained to such a frightful extent, was any discre tion vested in the Court? Could a milder or more lenient sentence have been pronounced ? Whatever may be the answers to these interrogatories, matters cannot be suffered to remain in such a state. There must be a great and speedy reformation. Public opinion, which by its irresistible strength achieved so great a triumph during the past year, and practically put an end to the degrading and abominable practice of cor poral punishment in one branch of our service, must be directed to the laws by which the other great branch is governed and controlled. We are much mistaken if the British people will be contented that such a stain should remain on their name, that such a blot should be found on their statute-book. No wonder that there should be a general repugnance to enter into the navy, when persons would 1 thereby subject themselves to the operation of such atrocious enactments. No wonder that the press gang must still be retained, that the voluntary services of our sailors cannot be obtained, that kid sictiving must still be legalized, when a commanding officer is authorized, without trial or investigation, to inflict four dozen lashes of a "cat" on any of his crew, and when an excited man is deemed worthy of death for an assault which on shore would be sufficiently punished by a trifling fine or a she,rt imprisonment. Surely, the maintenance of discipline is as neces nary in the army as in the navy,, and personal violence towards a superior officer i a of as aggravated a character in one as in the other, and yet we find that the sentence of a military c ourt-martial, held within the last week, and picot, Jgated on Saturday last, on GEORGE 110 f E, a 'drummer of the Grenadier Guards, for an offence of a similar character, viz., for having struck and offered violence to the drum-major in the execution of his duty, was twelve months' imprisonment, with hard :labour; and we venture to say that there is no person who will not acknowledge that the penalty was amply sufficient to vindicate the majesty of the law, to preserve the discipline of the regiment, and to prevent the repetition of a similar outrage. The prisoner, too, is regarded as a parson subjected to just and well-merited punish ment; there is no sympathy excited in his favour on account of the inordinate cruelty of his sentence, or of its being so wholly disproportioned to his crime. It will be carried into execution, and, therefore, will have more effect on his companions, than if it were originally so severe as to render it almost a matter of certainty that it would be mitigated and reduced in amount. During the past year another marine was sentenced to death by a naval court-martial at Cove, for violence towards his superior. There was some irregularity in the proceedings, of which the Lords of the Admiralty gladly availed themselves, and we believe the man got off without any punishment. Whether' was such a proceeding, or the infliction of a moderate and suitable penalty, more calculated to afford a salutary example to the crew ? On Thursday last it was our duty to speak of the interference of the Admiralty in remitting a por tion of the sentence of a sailor, named JOHN SAVAGE, who was sentenced by a court martial consisting of the very same members as those who :sat on the trial of BARTON; the observa tions we then offered will be found applicable to the present case. We trust that means will be taken to place the entire system of naval courts-martial on a sounder and better footing; to abrogate the law justifying such punishments ; to take away a power so liable to abuse, and whenever the offence should be :committed in harbour or on home service, to declare that all the more serious crimes should be tried before a judge of the land—and that a court martial should never again be competent to pro nounce a capital sentence, save in time of actual war. The Rhine,and Moselle Gazette, published at Co blentz, says--" We learn from a sure source that the rescripts of the King of PRUSSIA relating to the ex tension of the Provincial Diets, were communicated in extenso to the Emperor of RUSSIA and to Prince METTERNICH, because his Majesty of PRUSSIA ad heres to his resolution to do nothing of importance without first having the sanction of his two allies." A letter from Munich says—" Literary and scien tific reviews arriving in Bavaria through the book sellers have hitherto been exempt from censure; but the Minister of the Interior has just decided that they shall be submitted to censure the same as those sent by the post." A letter from St. Petersburgh says that the EM PEROR had just issued a ukase declaring that Jews in the army shall be allowed to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Accounts from Lisbon of the 15th have been re ceived. SALDANRA had not attacked Oporto, although he had been joined by Casa'. Several inconsiderable skirmishes had taken place. The financial difficulties of the Government still continued. The period for coming into the conversion of the foreign hive per Cent. into Four per Cent. Bonds is prolonged to the Ist of July next. In addition to the former decree admitting foreign wheat, a second decree has appeared, authorising the free admission of 8,000 moios (24,000 English quar ters) maize, and 1,000 moios (3,000 quarters) barley. Another decree authorises the free admission of these grains over the Spanish frontier. Madrid journals of the 14th and 15th have arrived, There was again a crisis, and a crisis likely to be attended with serious consequences. The Ministers had drawn up a decree on the 13th, ap pointing General SERRANO Captain-General of Navarre. This decree the QUEEN had refused to sign, whereupon the Ministers had appointed him to inspect the troops stationed in Navarre and the Basque Provinces, and to proceed forthwith to his destination. This order General SERRANO refused to obey, and an extraordinary Council, which was attended by all the members of the Cabinet, and by General NARVAEZ and Senors MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, MON, PIDALI DONOSO CORTES, CASTRO Y OBozco, GONZALES BRAVO, the Marquis DE VILUMA, and other distinguished members of the Moderado party, was summoned to delibe rate upon the affair. The Council resolved unanimously to bring SERRANO to trial for disobe dience of orders. On the 15th the Ministers com municated to the Senate the decrees nominating Generals SERRANO, ESPELETA, and FERNANDEZ, In spectors of Troops in the Provinces. An appeal from General SERRANO to the Senate, of which body he ii a member, was read, in which the General, after re lating the occurrences of the two previous days, asked whether it was their wish that he sbould remain in Madrid, and continue to perform his duties as a senatsr, or obey the orders of the Ministers and pro ceed to the northern provinces. The Duke of So- TOMATOR, the Prime Minister, then declared, in the name of himself and his colleagues, that they were deter mined to bring General SERRANO to trial for disobedi ence of orders. He was answered by Senor LUZURRIAGA, who besought the Senate not to adopt any hasty de cision in an affair of such importance, but on a repre sentation by one of the Ministers that the case was urgent, a Committee was appointed to consider the affair, and report on it in the course of the day. It was rumoured that the Ministry would be re-con structed, and that BRAVO MURILLO, OLIVAN, NAR VAEZ, and DION, would have seats in the Cabinet. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 15.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30; for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 19i ; the Debt, without interest, at .4 ; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. The convention between the Bank of France and Russia is the subject of comment in all of them. The Presse, the organ of the Russian alliance, considers this convention as the revival of the compact entered into between NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER at Tilsit. It says-- j "We confined ourselves yesterday to reproducing, without any comment, the unexpected event announced in the Jinni teur Parisicn, and which caused on the Bourse an increase of If. on the closing prices of the preceding day. All reflections would have been superfluous for the signification of this fact, its political and financial importance having no need to be demonstrated to make everybody understand them, and on our part any praise, however just it might have been, would have been suspected. It is known that the illu sion of the English alliance has never been shared by us, and that, without deceiving ourselves with respect to the ob stacles of an alliance of France with Russia, we have always refused to serve as an echo to impolitic recriminations, which to re t rac t, o r even to hesitate for a single could have n o ot h er ef f ect t h an t o en feeble us, to isol a t e us, and to ag gravate the pre j ud i ces w hi c h, th oug h common to the two C our t s, was not less in j ur i ous t o th e t wo countr i es.

I n t h e a b sence of the goo d o pi n i on o f th a t j ournal these is an authority which, wrongly, perhaps, we consider equal to its own, that of the Emperor Napoleon, who on the :I2dofJune (July 4), 1807, wrote to the Emperor Alexander the following letter and note, which are not less curious than decisive in the question : " ' Sir and Brother,-1 send to your Majesty a note on the discussion whi c h occup i es us . Your Majesty will see from it my desire to remain in a position of friendship and alliance with Russia, and to remove everything which can oppose, directly or indirectly, this great and noble idea. On which I pray God to have you in his holy keeping.' " " the note annexed to the preceding letter was as fol lows : " The geographical relations of Russia and France, in the present situation of things, are as favourable as their com mercial relations, and this to such an extent that, even in a state of war, the two powers would not know where to meet to fight. Discussions of limits, little wars about Custom. house duties, discussions on rivers, discussions on sub sistences, and a thousand other little subjects of dis- THE SIJN, LOND ON. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1847. puts, which cause coolness and generally precede other quarrels, and are the prelude of war, are totally strange to us; so that to find causes of animosity, recourse must be had to things the most abstract or the most imaginary. The friendship and unbounded confidence which the great qua lities of the Emperor Alexander have inspired in the Em peror Napoleon, have caused to be sealed by the heart what had already been established and proved by reason. In this situation of things let us take care to do nothing to change the general relations of commerce and geography which na ture has established between the two states. To call the Prince Jerome to the throne of Saxony and Warsaw would be almost to overthrow in an in stant all our relations. There will not be a custom house quarrel on the Niemen, a commercial altercation, a police discussion, which will not pierce directly and instantly the heart of the Emperor Napoleon, and by this single political fault we shall have torn our treaty of alliance and friendship, and prepared more important subjects of mis understanding than those which have existed till the present time. The policy which is entertained by the Emperor Napoleon is that his influence shall not pass the Elbe, and he has adopted that policy because it is the only one which conciliates itself with the system of sincere and constant friendship which he has contracted with the great empire of the North. Thus the countries situated between the Niemen and the Elbe will be the harrier which will sepa rate the great empires and prevent the little squabbles which between nations precede the tiring of cannon. In so great an epoch what is specially important is to fix well relations and limits. As a proof of the evils caused by the intermix ture of states, the passage of Anspach should be called to mind. It suffices for us to guarantee the sincerity of our patriotism, and to defend ourselves against absurd attacks, to find ourselves by the side of the Emperor Napoleon. We think that enough. "If the Emperor of Russia did not believe in the firm establishment of order in France, and in the maintenance of peace in Europe, he would not apparently have purchased the rentes of the Bank, he would perhaps have continued to send us his corn, but most certainly he would have kept our money. If the Emperor Nicholas, instead of being in fluenced, as we have the firm conviction he was, by a praiseworthy sentiment, had acted from the underhand hostile motives which the National supposes, he would not have opened a diplomatic negotiation destined to create immense effect at London, at Vienna, and at Berlin ; he would have acted in the dark; the banking-houses would not have refused their assistance; he would have awaited the moment of the greatest probable decline in prices. Everything at this moment in the conduct of the Emperor Nicholas with respect to France, bears the imprint of sen timents the most opposed to those which it pleases some blind journals to ascribe to him. A little while ago these newspapers spread the rumour that Russia had prohibited the exportation of the grain which France needed. What did the Russian Government then do? It declared that so far from having forbidden the exportation of grain, it would encourage it by all possible means. We must, in fact, be very blind, for where the National sees a danger for France, we see a pledge given to peace; where it sees a subject of anxiety, we see a subject of security; where it sees ' one of the gravest events that we have witnessed for seventeen years,' we see, on the contrary, one of the most propitious circumstances which have occurred for seventeen years, to show to England that she must not for the future calculate, on our part, on concessions without reciprocity, and that she will do well for the future to spare menaces in cases in which right is only invoked to hide the excesses of pride, and the abuse of force." It is well that we are thus early made aware of the designs of France and Russia. Forewarned is fore armed. In the meantime, however, we would ask whether this pecuniary assistance is part of the price paid for the connivance of the French Monarch in the " absorption " of Cracow ? The Union 4.llonar chique sees with joy in this transaction an approach to the principles of Absolutism and Legitimacy on the part of the Government of the Barricades : " As regards the Bank of France, it has, in the position in which it is placed, done a very reasonable thing, but at the same time has acted rather for its own particular interests than for the interest of the public. But it is not against it that we should complain, and this brings our Government into question. It may be said, without any malevolence, that its part in this curious affair is not the best. It has, at least to a certain degree, placed our credit at the mercy of a foreign power, which is in every respect beyond her reach— it has suffered this power to do what it might have done itself as easily, with less inconvenience, and with much greater security to the interests of France. It must be con• fessed, however, that our Cabinet may find in policy a de sirable compensation for its financial want of foresight. Simpletons only can believe that the Emperor of Russia has come to embrace the systole on the strong- box of the Bank." The Union Monarchique is right. Russia will not embrace the systt' , nze of the dynasty of the Barricades. It will, on the contrary, force the dynasty to embrace the systeme of Absolutism, and if the systeme is em braced, the men of the systeme will soon follow, so, no doubt, hopes the Union Monarchique, the organ of the Legitamatists. In the following remarks, which appear in the Constitutionnel, the question is ably considered in all its bearings, and the probable results of the convention seem to be properly appreciated : "The purchase which the Emperor of Russia has made of the Five per Cent. Government Stock, forming part of the reserve fund of the Bank of France, to the amount of 50,000,0001., has been differently appreciated. Everybody endeavours to discover the causes of that spontaneous and unexpected resolution of the Russian Govern ment. Those causes are obvious ; they are parily financial and commercial, and partly political. The Emperor of Russia has the precious metals in abun dance at his disposal. The vaults of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, at St. Petersburgh, containing the reserve of the specie constituting the guarantee of the paper currency issued by the different financial establishments, now overflow with coin and ingots. The Commercial Gazette of St. Petersburg!), of the Bth of January, officially pub lished the returis of the quantity of precious metals which were solemnly transported to these vaults at different periods to serve as a guarantee to the paper currency. The following is the article of the Commercial Gazette : " Since the completion, in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, of the edifice destined to receive the coin and ingots . representing the amount of the paper currency and the re serve of the empire, those funds were transferred, at three different periods, from the vaults in which they were origi nally lodged to those of the new edifice, viz., in December, 1844, silver and ingots to the amount of 70,464,245 roubles 99 copecks; in June, 1845, 12,180,000 roubles; and in Fe bruary, 1846, 11,705,725 roubles 28 copecks. Those sums, re presenting 94,349,971 roubles 27copecks consisted of 56,000,000 roubles in silver, 30,385.000 roubles in gold, and 7,964,971 roubles 27 copecks in ingots. The amount of each deposit was verified each time at a sitting of the Council of the Establishments of Credit of the Empire, in presence of the Commander of the Fortress of St. Petersburgh, the members of the Administration directing the issue of notes of credit, and with the assistance of the deputies of the corporation of merchants of St. Petersburgh and the foreign merchants. In the year 1846, the funds in cash, not included in the stock in hand of the administration of public credit, have also con siderably increased, and the guarantee of the notes of credit and notes of deposit amounted, on the Ist of January, 1817, to 105,667,149 silver roubles (420,888,598 f. )' " That reserve, it is true, serves as a guarantee for the pay ment of an immense mass of paper money, estimated at nearly two milliards. All the payments made by the Go vernment in the interior of the empire, and most of the com mercial transactions, take place in paper money. It is con sequently easy for the Emperor to use the specie placed in reserve, and to substitute for it French Rentes, that is perfectly solid stock, on which a profit may be realised. We should also observe, that the metallic mass disposable in Russia is annually augmented by the con stantly increasing produce of the m i nes o f th e Oural, and that, since the month of July last, it must have likewise received the specie sent to Russia by all the nations of Eu rope in exchange for corn. The export of bullion from France alone amounts to 40,000,000 f. Now, whilst money abounds at St. Petersburgh, it becomes rare in France. In the meantime the scarcity continues in our country, and fresh purchases of grain become necessary. We carry on a very limited trade, and have very few means of exchange with Russia. Money is indispensable to purchase grain at Odessa. The merchants of France were consequently on the point of directing their operations exclusively towards America, where many of our productions might be taken in exchange. We can now easily comprehend all the advan tages which the able Government of Russia disco vered in an operation which has for its results—lst, to procure an excellent mode of disposing of 50,600,000 of capital. The French Rentes were greatly depressed at the moment the acquisition was resolved on, the Five per Cents. being then at 1151. 65c. The Three per Cents. had fallen in the same proportion. The Rentes sold to the Emperor by the Bank consisted of 2,000,000 f. Five per Cents. and 145,000 f. Three per Cents. We need not add that, notwithstanding the embarrassment of our finances, there is not in the world a more secure payment than that of the interest of our public debt, nor a Government more solvent than ours. 2. To bring back to Odessa the French trade, on the point of turning towards America, and thus sell considerable masses of grain, with which Russia is overstocked. The value of that article, trifling at different points of its territory in ordinary times, has suddenly risen to upwards of 20f. per hectolitre at Odessa, that is to 10f., 15f., or 161., according to distances, in the localities where the merchants of Odessa, who have disposed of all the grain in their stores, will be obliged to renew their pr ov i s i ons . 3. To procure those advantages to Russian trade, and chances of profit to the Imperial Treasury, without even displacing the whole of the specie, since the 50,000,000 are to be paid by Russia in bills of from 35 to 90 days' date, which will evidently return for the most part to Russia, in exchange for corn, to be im ported to France. Thus, on the whole, the Rentes of the Bank will be paid in corn by Russia. They may be again sold at a later date, with a profit, in the Paris market, and thereby occasion a fresh exportation of French coin. The conduct of the Russian Government was also dictated by political motives. England and France are now disunited by a serious dissension. Russia places herself between the two nations, to render the rupture more complete and durable. The Emperor finds, at the same time, the means of appearing to con ciliate France without changing his attitude towards our Government, and of making our country accept a service from one of the Powers who have suppressed Cracow. This is one of the grave inconveniences for France of the financial operation so ably and so promptly concluded by Russia. Another danger will arise from the considerable mass of French Rentes now possessed by the Russian Government being, on a given clay, thrown on the Paris market. Never theleis, we should be sorry to convert an act that facilitates the importation of provisions, in the present scarcity, into a subject of attack against Russia. Who is truly responsible for the embarrassments of our country, and the advantage taken of us at this moment by a foreign Power ? The Minister of Commerce, who, by an imprudent circular, checked speculation at a moment when he should have stimulated it, forgetting that if it be opportune to create con • fidence in order to retard or avoid financial crises, a quite different line of conduct should be pursued in questions of provisions." ' In the same journal we find a long article on the comparative force of the British and French navies, which concluds in the following manner : " Whatever may be our desire and our hope to see peace long maintained, we think that it is the duty of our Govern ment not to neglect to raise such fortifications as may be necessary, and to establish the bases of as formidable a naval state as possible. The strength of states is the best guarantee of peace." We hope that our own Government also will re collect that " the strength of states is the best gua rantee of peace," and " not neglect to raise such fortifications as may be necessary, and to establish be bases of as formidable a naval state as possible." Corn riots have taken place at Beaugency and at Chateaudun. It was reported that the rioters had killed the mayor of the latter place. Disturbances of a very serious nature had taken place at Bergerac, where the mob lod threatened to fire the town. A detachment of the 14th Regiment of the line had been dispatched to reinforce the garrison. The Courrier Francais states that the Duke DE RIANZARES has paid is,ooor. duty on his title of Duke (le Montmorot in France. We can scarcely credit this statement ; Louis PHILIPPE is too astute a personage to offer a gratuitous insult to the whole body of the French Nobility. A Toulon letter, of the 15th, states that the Prince DE JOINYILLE was about to take a trip to the coast of Italy in a steamer. On the 13th his Royal Highness gave a grand dinner on board his flag-ship the Souverain. A.trifling decline occurred on Friday last in the price of flour in the Paris market, which, as some rain full on Saturday, may possibly be followed by a further fall ; but in the provinces the pressure was felt most painfully.

ANTICIPATION OF THE OVER LAND MAIL. A telegraphic dispatch of the Indian mail was received at Paris on Saturday. The news from Affghanistan is favourable. There is nothing new from the Punjaub. A revolution was reported to have taken place amongst the Birmans, and the son of the Regent had been assassinated. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE--MONDAY. Last weeks arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Flour up to our market were on a very moderate scale— those of Malt, Beans, and Peas trifling. From Scotland only 60 quarters of seeds reached us ; but, from Ireland, upwards of 7,000 quarters of Oats came to hand. The imports of foreign Wheat were comparatively mull, but those of Barley were large—of Oats and Flour tolerably good. The receipts of Wheat of home produce, fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent, were considerably less than those reported on this day se'nnight ; while, by laud carriage amid sample, they were on a very limited scale, consequently the , bulk of the supply of that article on offer was the rem sins of Friday's unsold qualities. Notwithstanding this circumstance we have to report a very dull sale for• all descripfions, and, to effect sales, a decline on last week's quotations of from is to 2s, in some instances 35 per quarter, was submitted to, and at which amoant of depression a clear ance was not effected. This was certa.inly the heaviest mar ket for Wheat experienced during the last two months, and most parties here are of opinion that lower rates may be looked forward to for most articles. .For export we did not hear of a high transaction —scarcely- a foreign buyer being in attendance. We had very little Foreign Wheat on the stands ; yet the supply was more than adequate to meet the wants of the millers. All kinds both red and white met an unusually dull inquiry, at an abatement on last week's value of from is to 2s per quarter. At that decline some of the holders were rather anxious sellers. With English Barley we were scantily supplied ; but the show of foreign was extensive, and of fair average quality. Owing to the large importa tions, the Barley trade was exceedingly dull, and the prices receded is to 2s per quartet•—leaving a large quantity un sold at the conclusion of business. Notwithstanding the quantity of Malt on °film was small, that article ruled dull, and, in some cases the prices had a downward tendency. The total supply of Oats, including the foreign receipts, was good ; yet, as most of the dealers are short of stock, a mode rate business was doing, at late rates. All kinds of Beans were dull, but we can notice no material decline in value. Peas, for seeds, were held at high rates; but the actual busi ness doing was small, at barely stationary prices. In sack Flour, so little was doing, that prices were almost nominal. American parcels were Is per barrel lower. Indian Corn was a mere drug, and might be purchased at Is to 3s per quarter less money. There will be no market held on Wednesday. ..

Calves Rotterdain Nieudiep ' Harlingen Flushing Total Nearly '2BO Oxen and Cows, together with 150 Sheep, have been landed at Hull, and our of her outports, from Holland. A marked improvement has taken pla c e i n the condition of the stock imported this year, compared with most former seasons. We had on sale this morning about 180 Beasts, 90 Sheep, and '2O Calves from abroad, the demand for which was excessively heavy, on easier terms. The supply of home fed Beasts on offer was, the time of year consiaered, by far the most extensive as to number ever recollected by the oldest frequenter of the market, while the quality has teen seldom or never equalled during the month of March. This circumstance, together with the prevailing fine weather, and the large arrivals of country-killed bleat up to Newgate and Leadenhall, produced extreme heaviness in the Beef trade, at Friday's decline in the quotations of quite 2d per 8 lbs., and a large number of really prime Beasts left the market unsold. To show the state of the demand, we may intimate that many good Oxen were with difficulty disposed of as low as 3s 6d per 8 lbs., and, further, that nearly one thcusand head of Beasts more were on show than at the corresponding period in 1846. The prices of Beef now range fully 4d, Mut ton 4d to 6d, Lamb Gd to Is, Veal 8d to 10d, and Pork 2d to 4d per Sibs. lower than at the same time last season. From Nor folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received nearly 1,800 Scots, home-breds, and short-horns; from the northern districts 300 short-horns; from the western and midland counties 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots. Although the supply of Sheep was not to say extensive, it was more than adequate to meet the wants of the butchers, who purchased very cautiously, at an abatement in value of 21 per 8 lbs. The very highest price for the best old Downs was only 4s 10d per 8 lbs. , and a clear ance was not effected. Shorn Sheep were plentiful, and the relative difference in the currencies between those in and out of the wool was 8d per Blbs. That is to say, old Downs, shorn, were not worth more than 4s 2d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight, 35 Lambs came fresh to hand per railway, while the receipts from other quarters are by no means ex tensive. The Lamb trade was heavy, at from 5s to 6s per Blbs.; indeed, in many instances the currencies were almost nominal. With Calves we were scantily supplied, yet the Veal trade was dull, at an abatement in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Bibs. The Pork trade was exceedingly inactive, and the rates suffered a decline of 2d per Blbs.

Since Monday last the arrivals of Meat from Scotland have consisted of about 100 carcases of Beef, 80U ditto of Mutton, and GOO ditto of Pork; while those from various parts of England have comprised nearly 350 carcases of Beef, 2,800 ditto of Mutton, 30 ditto of Lamb, 120 ditto of Veal, and 3,100 ditto of Pork. The supplies of Meat on sale, killed in the metropolis, have been tolerably good; but the general demand has ruled heavy, at drooping currencies. About 100 carcases of foreign Beef, 120 ditto of Mutton, and 10 ditto of Veal have appeared on sale. At per stone by the Carcass. s. d. to s. d. s. d. to s.

There is very little business doing here in Potatoes, the supplies of which are extremely moderate, and last week's prices are with difficulty supported. BOROUGH HOP MARICET. We have to report a very inactive inquiry for all ki n d s of Hops, especially for the inferior qualities, but i n pr i ces no alteration can be noticed. The supply on o f fer is seasonably good. _ _ _ TALLOW. There is rather less doing in this market than for some time past, and prices are with difficulty supported. P. T. C. on the spot, is selling at 51s per cwt. Pi% forward delivery a fsir business is doing at 46 s 3d to 46s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow is in fair supply, at 50s to 50s 6d net cash. OOL. The imports of Wool, during the week, have been again very limited, viz., about 600 bales. Fine combing Wools (English) are in good request, and a trifle dearer. In all other qualities exceedingly little is doing at barely late rates. The future prospect of this market is by no means cheering. DRURY••LANE.--•AIR. BENTON'S BENEFIT.—The benefit of Mr. Benton, of the free list office, Drur -lane, and sub-treasurer of the theatre, takes place to-morrow, on which occasion Miss Rainforth will make her first appear ance in the character of Maritana, in IVallace's favourite opera of that name, and that promising young artiste, Miss Rebecca Isaacs, will appear for the first time as Laza rillo. Spanish Gallantries will follow, with the fascinating Marietta Baderna as the heroine. Such an attractive bill of fare would alone be sufficient to secure a good house, but when we recollect how many there are who, having benefited by the civility of Mr. Benton, will be but too happy to be civil to him on his benefit, we feel assured that the house will be a bumper. ST. JAMES ' S THEATRE.--ETIIIOPIAN SERENADERS. —The Ethiopian Serenaders—the original, the most uni mitated, because inimitable—still continue their performances at the St. James's 'Theatre, on the off nights of the French plays. and with undiminished attraction. We visited the theatre on Saturday evening, and were delighted with the performances of these sable minstrels, who can command at will" a smile or a tear" from their auditors. The house was, ae it Always is, crowded. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEIYS' CITY, Qt7A.IITER To THfibl ie ,' The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was„,t Sales 4,000 bal es , i nc l u di ng 500 b a l es A mer i ca n for elf,: d and 500 for speculation. The demand was good. Su l " . wore higher generally. od' The usual tiles ot papers, together with private correse%„a ence, have come to hand from the West India Islands,roof with one or two exceptions the reports given of the etT„ te j the weather, and the prospects of the planters are cola', A l . to inspire hopes of the future. The establishment of tral Factories" for the manufacture of sugar was still an rc r n i r grossing theme, and the Gov ernor o f J ama i ca was ?tidal strongly, at the Royal Agricultural Society's meet , _„no - bor importance of drainage, irrigation, t ram r oads, el" we bandry, &c. 'ead The colonists seeai to have got hold of a rare R., 1 00f news, viz., that Queen Victoria intends this year to / I ' o oo West India and Canadian possessions. Certainly there, the knowing what steam may effect; but it is singular thealiont information should have gone out of " great prell, w h i cb being made in England" for her Majesty's voyage, " we at home are in perfect ignorance. The weather was favor a bl e f or th e crops in most , t i : and there are better supplies o f sugar com i ng forward merchants here. In Mark-lane this morning we have a further ilea corn, and this, of itself, will imp ar t confidence in conUn' - circles should it continue. ael liii The following statement from A r i a ' s Bi rm i ng ham „wo rt indicates the satisfactory position of the iren,trade:-- happy to learn that there exists no falling off in the l' i o i t of of orders, such as generally is the case towards the c ' each quarter, and , more particularly might have U 70411 pected from the drooping co n di t i on o f man y other b ()1 1 combined with the adverse state of th e M one y Marke7, o 3l the other hand, we are informed th a t th e order-boohe n' tt tho of the first houses are n o w b e tt er fill e d than they wer e ijoi commencement, and the specifications are in the meat in s ey or for immediate delivery.

It is, therefore, beyond a doubt bi o the aggregate of the railways now in progress, and for s ho Bills have been obtained, must and will be carried outg_sipto that the new system of transit will be generally introduc,:ot India, and all the other British dependencies, and by l ' u oto• consumption of iron, both in the construction and cout i oat quisitions for machinery and other contingencies, it will of tbo a powerful and permanent influence on the prospects vil e trade.
