SEPTEMBER 7, 1847, If we mistake not, the year 1847 will, in after ages, be celebrated as the year in which the first practical step was taken for the permanent amelioration of the condition of the human race by securing to industry its just reward, and by rendering wars so contrary to the material interests of every human being as to en tirely do away with them. On the 16th of Septem ber, 1847, there will be held at Brussels a Free-trade Congress (the first ever a-sembled), at which delegates from every civilized nation of the world are invited to attend. The members of the Belgian Association for the Liberty of Commerce, on whose invitation this congress is about to be assembled, will hence forth be numbered amongst the greatest benefactors of mankind. Their invitation to the Free-traders of all countries, which will be found in another column, sets forth in a sufficiently succinct manner the motives by which the members of the Belgian Asso ciation have been actuated in convening this congress. A' By assembling at Brussels the individuals who, from their exertions and position, are at the head of the politico-economical movements of the world, the Belgian Association for the Liberty of Commerce apprehended it should take the shortest road for re ducing the difficulties, and destroying the prejudices which continue to be opposed to the extension of the commercial relations between different countries ;" and `'therefore took advantage of a meeting at Brussels for the extension of reformative punishments (congrel penitentiare), and of the fortunate coincidence of an exhibition of the products of Belgian industry, to call together the present congress of the friends of political economy and statistics. Its meetings will take place four days before those of the meeting on reformative punishments ; that is to say, on September 16." The Free traders of South Lancashire (on this as on every other occasion, the first in the field when ever there is work to be dime) have deputed their representative in the British Parliament, W. BaowNe, Esq., M.P.,to be also their representative at the Brussels Congress. We earnestly call upon the other Free-traders of the British empire to assemble in their districts, and to follow the excellent example set by South Lancsshire. Let the West Riding deptre is RICHARD COBDEN to do for the % orld what he has I already done for England. Let C o lonel P ER RUNET THOMPSON, the patriarch of Free- trade, who by his Anti-Corn-law Catechism struck the first blow at mo nopoly, be deputed for some other large district ; and let the manufacturing capital of England, Man chester, send her answer to the invitation by the re presentative of her choice, Join BRIGHT. It is to be hoped that this is but the commence ment of a world-wide agitation on the subject o' free trade. But a short time remains in which to elect delegates to the C ingress and to give them in structions, and we tru-t that one of those instructions will be to invite all the free-traders of the Continent, through their representatives assembled at Brussels, to send delegates to attend a second world's free trade Congress, to be assembled either in London or Manchester, in September, 1848 ; and if the Congress should assemble in London, we call upon the corporation of the City to follow the example of the civic authm i tiers of Brussels, and to place the Guildhall at the dis possl of the Committee of the Congress. We shall watch the proceedings of this Congress with intense interest. We regard it as the commencement of a great movement for the regeneration of the human race—a movement which cannot but be successful, as it works its ends by moral means alone, and againstwhich all the efforts of tyranny and monopoly,which work by brute force,must,for that very reason, be powerless. A congress of Free-traders as sembling every - year would be more effective for good, than could he all the effete and worn-out Go vernments of the world for evil. It would be impos sible for any Government to persuade two nationo each sending representatives to such a Congress, to go to war with each other. Like the Amphyctionic Council, such a Congress would be a court of arbitra tion, to which nations could satisfactorily refer for a settlement of their differences. It would con stitute, in fact, a federal union of all the countries of the earth. All honoUr to the Belgian Association fur the great work they have commenced, and may success attend them in their earnest endea vours to promote the best interests of their fellow creatures. A guerilla warfare may yet afford the Mexicans the most terrible vengeance for the unprovoked inva sion of their territories. Even while we are assured by the intelligence which reached Southampton on Sund-tY morning by the G reat Western, that no serious impediment interposed between the Amercan forces under General SCOTT and the capital of the pu blic, we are satisfied th a t a recourse to M e xican Re the plan of indiscriminate slauy,hter, common to the g uerilla evtains, would result in the utter di scom . fi tu ra, if not in t h e total annihilation, of the vain glorious assailants. SANTA ANNA, who i, still in the exercise of a military soil civic dietatorstlip, has more than the opportunities efforded to ZUMALACARAGUI. If, with these opportunities, h 9 combine the enter prise and audacity of that adventurous bandit, he must bring disanay and contusion into the ranks of his antagonists. In all essential re , pecA perhaps Mexico i s b et t er a d apted for that spec i es o f defence than the SpAnia% and Portuguese peninsula.

No quarter! think on Stafford, boys. No quarter! think on Laud. What ho! The craven slaves retire. On! Trample them to mud. No quarter! Charge! No quarter!—Fire. N, quarter! Biood! Blood! Bl..od!" By driving the population of Mexico to despair, the Americans are goading them on to a frenzy like that of the Cavaliers, and may draw down upon their own heads the lightnings of a nationality which they have hope that easier times are now at hand, that a brighter dawn is breaking around us. More frequent gleams of light streak the distant horizon. I trust that the resources - of your trade and industry may prove as elastic even as those railway carriage-springs which now form a considerable source of employment to this town. I trust that the harvest, which now embrowns the fields and clothes the hills and valleys with gol den waves, may be made the happy instrument of in terchange with the looms and anvils of Yorkshire, and may tend, under the Divine blessing, to the per manent well-being of those interests so fitly repre sented by this plenteous and friendly board." That these aspirations may be verified to the fullest extent, is our earnest hope. Our trade and commerce has been liberated from the fetters and restrictions by which they were so long impeded. The great principle of free trade is recognised, and the various measures calculated to bring it into full operation, will, doubtless, be introduced and passed through the Legislature with all convenient speed. Ireland, aided by the fostering assistance which she requires, will be elevated in the social scale, and have no rea'on to fear a repetition of the horrors with which her children have been affl'cted ; and the fa mine year will be recollected chiefly for the evidence it afforded of the fraternal feelings entertained to wards her people by Englishmen, and the bonds by which we are united will be cemented and per petuated. hitherto insulted and defied. Supposing, moreover, that the people of the Aztec empire were to arise on finding themselves in the last extremity, and, contrary to the pusillanimity and sluggishness which they have hitherto evinced, were to exterminate the armaments of the United States, even those who are opposed on principle to the system of war ard bloodshed would be ready to applaud a cruelty originating in the law less movements of its victims. Little as we anticipate any such heroic manifesta tion of patriotism, we are, nevertheless, prepared to witness the ignominious withdrawal of an army which has been organized by cupidity and marshalled with a caution very nearly allied to cowardice. Its expul sion at the point of the sword or the bayonet seems to us altogether hopeless, from the miserable degeneracy of the men under the banners of SANTA ANNA. Even his Lieutenant, VALENCIA, the most warlike officer on the Presidential staff, appears to be animated merely by the valour of a Henriot. Rage supplies in his heart the place of a chivalric devotion, and alcohol instead of affection for country is, according to all accounts, the . principal source of his courage. Still, with a fickle population, a variable priesthood, an in experienced body of soldiers, and an indifferent band of officials, both municipal and military, President SANTA ANNA may yet brave the authority of the Congress of Washington, and carry butchery and terror into the camp of General SCOTT. After a protracted delay, the Americans are marching upon the metro polis—the time, therefore, has arrived fur bringing the most powerful defences of the invaded Republic into operation. An outraged nation may revenge itself fur the inhumanities perpetrated at Vera Cruz, for the irruptions into the Rio Grande, for the seizure of California, and fur the villanous and perfidious conduct adopted towards it during the last half If the French and that of the English Government cannot but be advantageous to the latter. These papers are filled with letters complaining of the brutal conduct of the police in diipersing a crowd which had collected round a bootmaker's shop in the Rue St. Honore. The authorities employed ruffians armed with clubs to run amuck not only at the people assembled in the street, but at those standing quietly at their doors, many of whom were knocked down and taken to the Conciergerie, without hats, and with only slippers on their feet. A letter from Toulon of the 31st of August says — file ships of war Jena and Jupiter, and the steam frigate Magellan, which were stationed at Tunis, iailed from thence on the 23d, in obedience to orders brought to the officer commanding the squadron by the steam-ship Infernal. These ships were to proceed ro the bay of Naples, to join the squadron under Rear-Admiral TBEuouART, who has received orders to cruise off the coast of Italy.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 31st ult., in speaking of the advance of troops intended to reinforce the Austrian army in Italy, declares that they are solely intended for Lombardy, and that the mission of Count FIQUELMONT is of an exclusively diplomatic character. In speaking of the occupation of Ferrara, it says that a simple declaration on the part of Austria will show to the Court of Rome how ill-grounded was its protest. The writer then goes on to declare that it is an error to suppose that Austria is desirous, by any of these acts, to exhibit any hostility to the Papal Government, or even to blame, directly or indirectly, the reforms so approved of at Rome. The article concludes in these words :—" We may then regard the future without inquietude. The value of the ameliorations attempted to be introduced by the POPE is too justly appreciated for them not to meet with an entire approbation." A letter from Bologna, of the 28th of August, an nounces the arrest of Don BERTONI, curate of Borgo, and of two other chiefs of the retrograde party who, under the protection of Austria, were organizing a corps of brigands in Romagna. They were arrested in the neighbourhood of Faenza. The Italiano publishes a letter from Ferrara which states that two English vessels were seen on the 17th, taking soundings in the Bay of Valano, province of Ferrara, at the mouth of the Po.

It is evident that the intention of Mr. Presiden POLE was, originally, to associate with his adminis• tration a vast amount of national aggrandisement both pecuniary, commercial, and territorial. Possibly he was solicitous to ensure by the prestige thus given to his " reign" the renewal of the trust already deposited in his hands. Authority was sweet to him, and he resolved to contrive its continuance in his possession at all hazards. Is there, we ask, up to this moment any token of his project being successful ? Where is the pecuniary aggrandisement ? Where the commercial aggrandisement? Where the terri torial aggrandisement ? Everybody knows what vapouring and bluster there was about Oregon, And every one remembers how that vapouring and bluster terminated. Everybody knows, in like manner, that the spoliation of Mexico and the annex ation of California are as yet anything but faits ac complis. And yet the time of Mr. PoLis president ship is dwindling down from a comparatively few months to a comparatively few weeks. On its termi nation, where will be its prestige? In the splitting of the difference in Oregon ?—in the ineffective, pro longed, and ruinous attack upon the Mexican domi nions ?--in the erratic marches of TWIGGS ?—in the doubt and precautions of SCOTT ?—or in the sojourn of ZACHARY TAYLOR at Monterey ? Which ? That is the problem to be solved at Washington; and in its solution will be discerned the claims of Mr. Pout upon the reverence or detestation of his fellow citizens. It will then be manifest whether he has trifled with the national .resources—the arms, the revenues, the commerce, and the lives of the United States' men—for the furtherance of his own selfish aspirations, whether he has jeopardised the national credit (such of it as there was to jeopardise) for the preservation of his own individual popularity ! !:XPREsS FROM PARIS.

There is now an absence of that political excite- 1 ment that invariably is manifested during the con tinuance of the Parliamentary session, when questions of the deepest interest are brought forward and dis cussed in the Legislature. The hustle attendant on the general election has also terminated. The iin portant task of selecting fit and proper persons to represent the wants and wishes of the several con sti'uencies—to take their part in the promotion of the several measures that may be introduced for the purpose of sweeping away the abuses that have gra lually accumulued about many our institutions, of effecting reforms and ameliorations, by which the national industry nyty be stimulated, and toe na tional resources fully developed—has been brought to a conclusion. It is the holiday time of the Ministry, when they may enjoy themselves in ' peace and tranquillity, undisturbed by the pressure of business, by the necessity of explanaii,ns, or of training fitting responsts to unpleasant interrogatories —when leisure is afforded to them to take large and We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Presse gives the following particulars of the It was expected that Narvaez would resign his post at Paris. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The September sessions for the county of Mid dlesex commenced this morning, before the Assistant Judge and a full bench of Magistrates, at the Court house, Clerken well-green. The number of prisoners amounted to 111, and out of these, twenty-five were stated in the calendar as being unable either to read or write, twelve able to read only, and the remainder capable of reading and writing only " imperfectly." Fourteen of the prisoners for trial were under sixteen years of age. Henry Richards was indicted for stealing a quan tity of wearing apparel, the property of John M'Carthy. The prisoner lodged with the prosecutor, and on the 3d inst., while the latter was absent from home, he (the prisoner) packed up almost the whole of the clothes belonging to the prosecutor and his wife. He was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. reception of NAEVAEZ by the Queen of SPAIN : " The Queen of Spain was not only inflexible in refusing to accept the Ministry proposed by Marshal Narvaez, but that her Majesty received him in a manner which he did not expect. Amongst other things, the Queen told him that she was determined to call the Progressistas to her councils, to which Narvaea replied, ' Your Majesty forgets, no doubt, that the Prugressistas are by tradition, by position, and by system, the most dangerous enemies of your throne, and the adversaries of your prerogative.' Her ajesty—' I forget nothing ;my resolution is fixed ; and, at the worst, I shall retain my present Ministers.' Your Majesty will permit me to observe that it was not necessary to summon me from Paris to tell me this." It was not I who summoned you.' ' Thyn my mission is concluded: ' Completely con cluded, and you may withdraw. At that moment a Cabinet Council was sitting in the Palace. Marshal Narvaez repaired thither (in what temper may easily be imagined), and after having recounted the conver sation he had with the Queen he withdrew, declaring that he was not the man to suffer himself to be mys tified. This observation applied particularly to M. Salamanca, who, holding to his portfolio, and sup ported by Mr. liulwer, spared no pains between seven in the afternoon and midnight to captivate the Queen, and it appears he succeeded completely. General Narvaez, by his firmness in repellii:g a proposition made to him by General Serrano, has doubled his in fluence with the moderate party, of which he is more than ever the personification. The two parties are in presence of each other, and the conte,t being , fairly engaged the conclusion cannot be long delayed.' This statement by the Ptesse that the QUEEN said to NARVAEZ, "It was not I who summoned you," is important. It is a distinct admission that there is at the Spanish Court a Viceroy over the Monarch, a spy of the French Court, who commands the use of the French telegraph, who orders officers, nominally in the service of the Spanish Government, to quit their posts without the QUEEN'S knowledge, and con trary to her wishes. Who is the traitor ? Could not the Duke of GLUCKSBUBGH point him out ? comprehensive views as to the several matters demanded ►y the exigencies of the country—and when they .nay enjoy that domestic happiness in their family circles from which they are practically excluded during the more busy and stirring periods of the year. At such a season the re-unions, that become more frequent, are not to be regarded merztly as festive celebrations, valuable only for the conviviality and enjoyment thereby afforded. They possess a deeper importance in bringing together the different classes of society, in promoting a mutual kindliness of feeling, in drawing closer the ties by which they are united, and cementing the amicable relations between all. Here the statesman reaps the best reward for his toils and labours, in the enthusiasm with which he is greeted, the full appreciation of his public services► that is made apparent in the manner of his recep tion. Those of less exalted rank, of a more humble grade, are delighted to find that there is an anxious desire to promote their social improvement, to extend their means of happiness, to cultivate and refine their tastes, and to increase their intellectual enjoyments. Lord MORPETH, who is peculiarly happy on such It appears, from a letter of M. EYNARD'S, inserted in the Journal des Debats, that the worthy PHILVELIIENE is a very Greek—the Coster of finan cial diplomacy. He has refused to accept COLLETTI . S Bill for the instalment of the interest due to England, notwithstanding his public announcement of his wil lingness to do so many months ago, upon the faith of which he has been so long enjoying a character for honour and ger.erosity as it would now appear upon false pretences; but let us chronicle his shame in his own words : " 1. I affirm that the bill of exchange has not been accepted, and, consequently, Lord Palmerston cannot have said so. 2. I give as a proof, the protest for non-accept ance by the banking house of Pillet, Will, and Co., who presented the bill to me, and protested it on the 27th of August. " 3. I du not retract a single word from the letters I wrote to the British Government in favour ot Greece, nor from the reflections I made on the subject ot those letters. "Now, I declare, that with regard to the bill of exchange of 500,000 francs, I will do that which I shall believe useful to Greece." It is to England a matter of perfect indifference what M. EVNARD may choose to do. If he does not find the money COLETTI must be prepared to submit to the consequences of his dishonesty. Lord eAL MERSTON is not the man to be trifled with, and all England will back him in any steps he may take to compel the fraudulent Government of Greece to pay its debts. According to the Journal des Debats a concordat has been concluded between the Porz and the Em peror of Russia. It would appear from the following article in the Constthaionnel that Austria, in consequence of the energetic remonstrances of England, is inclined to pause in her crusade against Liberal principles in Italy. After stating that Prince MerraftNicn, alarmed at the attitude which Italy has assumed, endeavours to throw the whole responsibiliry of the occupation of Feriara. upon General ItADETSELT, the Constitutionhel thus proceeds : We are assured that the movement throughout ' Italy has not alone caused Prince Metternich to reflect and to adopt a wiser course. He has experi enced from England an extremely energetic opposi tion, and one ‘shich he was far from expecting. :%ot only has the British Government taken care to corffinueicate to the holy Father (through an inter mediary nut official, because the English law forbids such a course, but) through a friendly channel, how much the British Government and the British nation applaud his courageous and liberal conduct; but, further, the Cabinet of Vienna has been apprised that any armed demonstration against the independence or the territories of the Pope or of Sardinia would call from the further pal t of the Adriatic the naval force Of Great Britain—a dangerous neighbour for Venice or Trieste. Prince I\letternich, consequently recedes gradually, and has begun by retracting his menaces."

I like the composition of these meetings, which bring tog ether the heads of g reat houses, the possess ors of extensive ac res, the members represent ing the great agricultural interests of thecountry, and the representatives of the energy and enterprise that have given wealth to these busy towns and their populous neighbourhoods. In this respect they seem to me to be an appropriate representation of the framework of English society, which makes so many differing interests, so many distinct classes, the dispensers and recipients mutually of benefits to each other." On the prece hog evening his Lordship had attended the lqing the founds'ion-stone of the Sheffield Athenaeum, and had pointed out, wiih a grace and beauty of language peculiarly his own, the advan tages arising to an industrious community from such institutions. It was at the feast of the Cutlers' Com pany, on the installation of the new Master Cutler at Sheffield, that he gave expression to the sentiments of ilis we have just quoted, when returning thanks for the enthusiastic l ag e u h e et i r n i ntghewriethr:s•heitcaah htion ealth t l h t l a t t ) f u d d th a a th t i e West Riding of tz lz -orr.s...re—...frni p kit ' D COBDEN ' the apostle of free-trade—wer e rece i ve d i n that assembly.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales. The market was flat, about Friday's rates. The sales included 3,000 bales. American at 6d. to 7/1 per lb. The Railway Share Market was firm. North Western and Midland were in demand. • The exchange from Hamburgh comes over at 13 6, with the price of gold at 4338. The firm of Gammell Brothers, of Glasgow, an nounced as being in difficulties, is believed to have heavy liabilities, but the branch house at Valparaiso is said not to be affected. Much anxiety is felt for the receipt of intelligence from Manchester, where for the last .two or three days there have been sinister re ports affet.ting the credit of some important houses. The correspondence received from Mexico by the committee of Spanish American Bondholders, has given great' satisfaction here. During a perii.d of ex citement and warfare, it was. scarcely anticipated that any serious effort would be made to improve the posi tion of the foreign creditors, bat the exertions of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, who act in Mexico as the agents of the bondhAders, have again ben attended with decided success; at:d there is, besides, a fund in hand of 55,0001. to be remitted by the next packii, the prospect of recovering indirectly the amount of duties which were hypothecated to the bondholders, but which the Mexican Government, we may hope only from i's xtremcly exigent circumstances, has for some time past withb Id. It is now proposed to admit Cotton into the Mexican ports, at a duty of 6 dollars 6 reels per quintal, and this plan, if successful, will yield a large amount. The next packet from America is now anxiously looked for, though the news will probably not be by any means of so important a character as that by the succeeding arrivals. The English Securities keep steady this morning, but business is exceedingly dull. The state of affairs in Italy is by some rather more favourably construed.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) - - - - Two women, named Brown and Wilson, were charged with stealing a great coat from a gentleman's house. It appeared that the prisoners called at the com plainant's house, and, under the pretext of obtaining some assistance to take one of them to the Royal Sea Bathing Infirmary at Margate, took a great coat, which w as hanging up in the hall. Horsford, of the Mendicity Society, identified both the prisoners, and stated that Wilson was committed f.r three months to gaol some time since, for obtain ing money by means of a petition with forged signa tures to it. Mr. CorrusutiAss said that he shoUld not deal sum marily with two such dangerous characters as the prisoners, but should commit them for trial. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) William Shadboit, a labouring man, was charged with violently assaulting police-constable K 383. The constable stated that last night, when he was off duty, accompanied by another constable he went into the Coach and gorses public-house, Stratford. The prisoner was there, and entered into conversation with him. Shortly after he said to the policeman, "Come outside, I want to say something to you." The witness did so, when the prisoner said, " 1 owe you a grudge," and knocked him down, and kicked him violently about the legs. This evidence was corroboratel by police-constable K 324. For the defence the prisoner called a man, named White, who swore most positively t hat both police• men were drunk, and that they themselves were the assailants. lie concluded by handing in a written document to the Magistrate. Mr. YARDLEY (perusing it)—This was not in tended for me, I see ; it commences, " Mr. Editor." - Witnes —Yes ; and it is not intended to let the matter drop here ; that letter shall go in. What particular journal, however, was to be favoured with the communication, which extended over an entire sheet of. foolscap, Mr. White did not mention. The sergeant who took the charge was then sent for, and proved that the prisoner and his witness were both at the time very drunk, and the policemen, on the contrary, were sober. Mr. Y ARDLEY said he could not, after, this, believe the statement of the prisoner's ambitious witness, and be much doubted if his communication would not be thrown in the fire by any editor into whose hands it might fall. He should fine the prisoner 20s. or eight days' imprisonment. He was locked up in default. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.
