Parliament being again prorogued until the 11th of November, another interval for conjecture is afforded to those who have been speculating on the probable position of political parties since the dissolution of the last House of Commons. We may safely under take to assert that, dating from the period when the popular representatives first assembled in St. Stephen's Chapel, a new Parliament has never been regarded with more curiosity by the population of the United Kingdom than the one which will commence its sittings under the Administration of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The broils of factious antagonists have been dissipated by the dispersion of the Conservatives and the recent triumphs of Liberal opinion —the con tentions of squabbling politicians have been forgotten in the achievements of a patriotic statesman—the struggles between an effete minority and a superci lious majority have been definitively terminated by the unparalleled innovations of a converted Prime Mi nister —and yet, notwithstanding the tranquillity which was the necessary consequence of these movements (a tranquillity originating on the one side in despair, and on the other in a complacent conviction of supremacy), the inquisitiveness of the multitude with reference to the futurity of the new Parliament is doubled, if that be possible, in its intensity and concentration. What will be the actual strength of the Government? Who will be the acknowledged leader of the Opposition ? How will the Irish Members be distributed ? Which names will appear in the catalogue of Minis terialists ? Are the Repealers decided upon the policy to be supported ? Will they combine for the purpose of weakening the present Cabinet ? Is their hos tility to Whiggery—or rather to the ghost of the shado w o f the shade of Whiggery—so implacable that they will sell themselves, body and soul, votes and declam a ti on, to the Protectionists ? And then— the awful mystery of the approaching session—a mystery more profound than the Masonic secret, or or th the Rosicrucian doctrines, the riddle of the Sphinx, or the aspirations of the alchemists, l or the spectacles revealed to the neophyt e i n the tem the oaths and subterranean ceremoniespeewoif Eleusis, or lde of the Vhemgericht—the augu s t and b blem of the new Parliament, sirring pro- PEEL ! What will be his infl uence ? WRhoonzaT will be his associates ? Where will h e s i t ? Cheek-by jowl with :,Colonel SIBTHORP ? Vis-a-vis to M r . BENJAMIN DISRAELI ? Will he be attracted by the magnetism of ex-official dignity into the immediate vicinage of the red tape and the red boxes ? Will he reveal the expansion of his waistcoat below the gang way ? Or, taking the facetious hint of an ansnymous pamphleteer, will he swing intermediately between the floor and the ceiling, in a basket ? His ambi tion—is it extinguished ? His self-possession—is it imperturbable ? His magnanimity (as evinced to Mr. COBDEN, to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and, in short to the entire nation)—is it inexhaustible ? His long suffering (under the opprobriums and calumnies of his late supporters)—is it unbounded ? Have the tac tics of the Peelites been deliberated on in the sanctum sunctorum of Drayton Manor ? Happy Sir ROBERT ! whose projects are as inscrutable as those of Death, and whose reveries are guarded from vulgar investi gation as by the utterance of the Sybilline interdict, "Procul, 0 procul este profuni It is aVUsing to observe the bewilderment of the I ppiN stYN I LONDON, FRIDAY EYEN'ING, OCTOBER is , Protectionists, as to the relative position of parties in the new Parliament. With the Liberali it is other wise, for the impetus which recent occurrences have imparted to the popular movement has rendered it al together irresistible. The conjecture is no longer how Reformers can withstand the preponderance of the Conservatives—as it was in 1841—but how the Protectionists will contrive to withstand the prepon derance of the Liberals. The tables are turned with a vengeance. The pigmy has expanded into the giant —the colossus has dwindled down into decrepitude. Conservatism, like the Kilkenny cat, has left only the fag-end of its tail, but that shred of its existence is still palpitating with vitality. Yet the hopes of the Protectionists survive all their reverses. Gifted with a more sanguine temperament than was ever before granted to political faction, they are sustained by their egotism amidst circumstances the most unpropitious— they imagine that the empire is to be regenerated by the babblings of a servile party, led by an accomplished renegade, and animated by a speculator in horseflesh ! The Quarterly has condescended to be the enunciator of these aspirations. It plumes itself upon the innate strength of the Protectionists, it exults over the quibbling calculations of Lord GEORGE BENTINCX and the stubborn pertinacity of Lord STANLEY. It revels in the dream of their ultimate victory and re joices in the notion that they are " sufficiently power ful to prevent any great mischief from either the com bination or the rivalry of the late and present Minis tries !" That declaration is at least an acknowledg ment that such a combination or rivalry is the only, and inevitable, alternative, This acknowledgment too, from the Quarterly 1 The rivalry or combina tion of the Cabinets of Lord Jour; RUSSELL and Sir ROBERT PEEL—for the people, for the advancement of Reform, for the promotion and introduction of po pular measures ! Nor is this the only certainty of the session of 1848 inimical to the cause of the Protectionists, Sir ROBERT PEEL is not only definitively committed to the principles of liberality, he has not merely been pushed forward into the van of the great popular movement, side by side with his late illustrious rival, and now his powerful associate, but the scabbard has been torn from his belt by his former adherents, and the battle will not terminate until Free Trade and Reform are consummated by the extinc tion of the Protectionist party and the ob livion of the obsolete doctrines. Another fact most favourable to the Liberals, a fact attested by Dodd's Parliamentary Companion, and corroborated by the Quarterly itself, is the demo cratic intelligence of the 223 new Members recently elected by the different borough and county consti tuencies. The latter authority laments over the cir cumstance, and insinuates a gloomy analogy between the Lew Parliament and the National Assembly of France. As if St. Stephen's was to be the birth-place of a most bloody Revolution, and the modest writer in the Quarterly was to be regarded as another EDMUND BURKE, penning a new philosophical and prophetic analysis of the Legislative Chamber. Never was there, surely, a more dismal egotist—(we would repay the compliment of the Reviewer !)—since the days of MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE ! How much reason we have to regret the return of these 223 new representa tives may be gleaned from the following considera tions. There are a greater number of barristers— alas ! the Quarterly might have thought of HENRY BROUGHAM. There are a greater number of mer chants—it must have remembered RICHARD COBDEN. There are a greater number of political writers—it must have winced under the recollection of WILLIAM COBBETT. There are a smaller number of naval and military officers—it must have bewailed the possible exclusion of some cousin-german to Colonel SIBTHORP. There are a smaller number of persons connected with noble families—it must have sighed for the damper thus imparted to some genius kindred to that of the Marquis of GRANBY. And lastly, there are a smaller number of country gentlemen—a circum stance fraught with the most poignant and lugubrious inferences to the Quarterly Reviewer, seeing that among the country gentlemen elected to a seat at Westminster are such august guardians of the con stitution as worthy Sir JOHN TYRRELL. We sym pathise in the affliction of the Quarterly—our heart bleeds with commiseration, for, in the ascendancy of Reform and Liberality, we can afford to be mag nanimous, and beyond that—as Sir JOHN CAM HOB HOUSE wrote, in 1815, to Lord BYRON—" We are not stocks, nor stones, nor Tories ! " The fearful evils to which the country has been exposed from the deficiency of circulation, and its inadequacy to supply the general purposes of the country, to represent the enormous amount of capital invested in trade and commerce, or in a dormant state, such as in lands, houses, railways, &c. &c., are all encountered for the purpose of complying with an abstract principle of making gold the only money of the country, and securing the immediate conversion on demand of every note which might be issued either by the Bank of England, or any of the private banks whose existence was recognised and sanctioned by the Act of 1844 ; in fact, that the entire circulation of the country, if not exclusively a me tallic one, should be wholly based thereon, and that no other description of property should be repre sented by what would be received as a currency as contradistinguished from money, or that which would possess an intrinsic value, and be at all times received without any reference to the credit of the parties who were responsible for the ultimate liquidation thereof. A startling anomaly is, however, manifested in the very outset. The framers of the law found it utterly impossible to carry their intentions into perfect execution, to follow the principle to its full extent. They were compelled to acknowledge that there was not a sufficiency of specie in the country, and were therefore obliged to tolerate a departure from a strict adherence to the rule. The Bank of England was accordingly authorised to issue to the extent of fourteen millions sterling, that being in round numbers the amount of Government securities of which the Bank was then possessed, but which, as we have already shown, it might at any time dispose of; and certain private banks were also permitted to issue notes amounting to 8,000,0001. sterling or thereabouts, being the average amount of their circulation for a certain period previous to the passing of the Act, and these issues, amounting in all to 22,000,0001. sterling, were sanctioned without one single ounce of gold being required as the basis, nay, without any adequate or satisfactory security being afforded to the public for the full payment thereof. Here there was an admis sion at the very outset hostile to that which they were attempting to establish. It proved that an exclusively metallic circulation, or a currency wholly based thereon, was impossible. It recognised at least the possibility of the Bank of England and the several private banks being reduced to the condition of many of the mercantile firms that have been obliged (although with ample assets) to suspend payment. Those parties may be accused of over-trading, because, from the scarcity of money, they are unable to find present means of meeting their outstanding liabilities, and yet the Legislature permits the great national esta blishment to be in the same position. Had the late harvest been a deficient one, had we been again obliged to look to foreign nations for a supply of food equal to that which was imported into the country in the latter end of last, and the beginning of the present year, the coffers of the Bank would be ex hausted. The gold would leave the country, for, under any circumstances, the people must be fed, and no forcing up of the rate of interest, or other means within the power of the directors, could keep the exchanges so much in our favour as to prevent the ex portation. Then, indeed, the consummation would arrive, a more reasonable system would necessarily be adopted ; but the nation would, indeed, have paid dearly for its whistle. Our trade and commerce would be almost annihilated ; the high character and credit,years: a w n h d i e w h h w ic e h tl: as ve maintained for a l ong ser i es of acquired by ages o f undeviat ing int egr it y and good faith, would be forfeited, and the bullion crotchet would have involved the country in universal ruin. The object of the Act of 1844 was to mak e a se lf. acting scale by which ma tt ers would at all times find their own level, and by which a drain of bullion, no matter to what cause it may be ascribable, would be in 'tautly:checked. The directors of the Bank, the future Ministers of the country, were all to be reduced to ciphers, and everything was to be regulated by the machine or automaton acting on a fixed in variable rule. If gold was leaving the country, it was to be forced back by a compulsory depreciation of every other description of property. The usual j accommodation should be withheld, in order to compe manufacturers to sell their products at any price that they might be enabled to meet their engagements, even at a serious loss, and that thus foreigners might be tempted to purchase from the extreme cheapness. To get back two or three millions of gold a little earlier than they would return in the ordinary course of events, forty or fifty millions of other kinds of property was to be sacrificed, and, far worse, the credit of the entire country seriously im paired. And, ouibono, for what end or object was this destruction to be encountered ? Why should our merchants and traders be deprived of their legiti mate profits, our artisans and operatives driven out of employment; and a general stagna tion of commerce be occasioned ? simply that a few additional millions in gold should be retained idly in the coffers of the Bank, being practically •f as little use as if they had still remained buried in the bowels of the earth. Surely such a course of policy must appear little better than insanity to any cool and dispassionate observer. We may laugh at the folly of the miser who, with ample means at his disposal, deprives himself of all the comforts, almost of the necessaries, of life, in order that in his closet he may gloat over his accu mulated hoard, that he may increase those stores which, if properly applied, would afford him every thing he could desire, but which are suffered to re main utterly useless and unproductive. But in what respect does our own conduct differ from his ? Do we not practically sacrifice the substance in grasping at the shadow, and relinquish real prosperity, for the sake of a phantom ? We abandon the solid ground in pursuit of an ignis fatuus. We had intended alluding at some length to an excellent suggestion contained in a letter on the Currency, which we have copied into our columns from a morning Contemporary. We have not, however, space sufficent to enter into an examination thereof this day. It is one worthy of serious consideration, which might, as we con ceive, be made the foundation of a better system - Tifid very materially extended. There can be no doubt that if acted on it would give very considerable relief to all interests in the country, although we are not prepared to say that it would be the most advisable course to be adopted, or provide a sufficient reform. It still acts on a gold basis, but enables a remedy to be supplied when peculiar cir cumstances require a variation. The writer suggests, " that whenever the stock in bullion is below ten millions, the Bank should be authorise'd to issue 11. and 21. notes to the extent of the deficiency; that these notes should be made legal tenders, but not convertible into gold until a year after date, but payable into the Exchequer as taxes at any time." We shall on a future occasion refer at greater length to this proposition, when considering the means by which the circulation may be made adequate to the wants of the country without any danger of depre ciation of the currency, or want of proper security. A letter from Naples, dated Oct. 5, says— " I told you in my last letter that M. Pietracatelli, the President of the Council, not wishing any longer to accept his part in the responsibility attendant on the direction of the Government, had sent in his re signation to the King. The fact is exact, but the King refused to accept the resignation. The Minis ter, not being able to overcome the will of the King, has protested against such conduct, and declared that he should for the future remain totally a stranger to the business of the Cabinet. In consequence he re , fused to attend the Council of State. the next day all the Ministers proceeded to his house to hold a council, but M. Pietracatelli kept his room declaring that he was ill, and allowed his colleagues to de liberate as they pleased, in his drawing room. The arrest and death of some of the Romeos are related so contradictorily that I cannot affirm any thing certain to you about them. I can inform you that the bands commanded by Longobucco and Baron Piotino have reached the wood of Sila, whence they often make a sortie to attack the royal troops. General Statella has fixed his head-quarters at Monteleone, in order to watch the limits of Calabria Ultra, and intercept all communications with the other parts. Bonfiglio, the leader of a numerous band of brigands, offered Longobucco and Baron Plotino the aid of his men, but the offer was refused, in order not to disgrace the cause of the insurgents. Bonfiglio then commenced acting on his own account, and disquieted the Government so much, that General Statella has promised 2,000 ducats for him, alive or dead. In his last reports General Statella mentions the general discontent, and the sympathy which the insurgents meet with amongst the population ; he does not dissemble that some concessions, made at the proper moment, would be more favourable to the royal cause than the violence and severity displayed against the insurgent districts." The resignation of PIETRACATELLI has been fol lowed by that of every member of the Cabinet, ex cept the Minister of Police. They were justly offended at haring been deceived by the KING, who had caused them to declare to the chiefs of the in surrection that if they would lay down their arms, the institutions they demanded should be granted to them, but who, when the chiefs desisted from their purpose, and suffered the royal troops to occupy their positions, refused to perform the promises which he had made. Another rising is expected in conse quence. A letter from Leghorn, of the 6th, states that on the previous evening crowds traversed the city, crying " Long live Corsini ! Long live Italian Independence ! Death to Austria 1" The Civic Guard interfered, and order was re-established, but some apprehension was entertained that tumultuous scenes would be renewed. According to this letter, the two new Ministers, the Marquis RIDOLTI and Count SERRUITORI, have accepted the portfolios of the Interior and of Foreign Affairs, on the condition that, in the event of an Austrian intervention, the GRAND DUKE, with all the Government, shall withdraw to the Island of Elba, in order to be able to resist it. By the steamer Montrose, which arrived at South ampton yesterday, we have received intelligence from Lisbon to the 9th. The Ministry have amended the decree relative to the registration, and have enlarged the time to fifteen days. The accession of NARVAEZ to power was known at Lisbon, and it was supposed that in consequence a Cabralist movement would be made in that city. The Terrible, supposed to have on board Count Bosnast and his companions, entered the Tagus on the 9th. [For the remainder of the news we refer to the letter of our correspondent in another column.] Madrid Papers of the Bth have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a series of decrees suspending the execution of SALAMANCA'S financial projects until they shall have been approved of by the Cortes. The Heraldo publishes a letter from London, in which it is stated that it was believed among the Spaniards in that city that it was by the advice of Lord PALMERSTON that ESPARTERO had delayed his return to Spain. The,Eco del Comercio publishes another article on the recent Ministerial changes. It appears from it that General Ros DE OLANO, whom the Eco seems to think had entertained the intention of betraying his colleagues, paid a visit on the 3d to General SERRANO, whom he found very sad, and making preparati ons f or a j o ur n ey. " Profiting," says the Eco, "by the perturbation of his friend, which arose from an annoyance he had undergone, and which had been unhoped for by some and cleverly prepared by others, he conceived the idea of appealing to General NARNAEZ, as the only person able to save the high interests which at that critical moment were menaced." The Eco then proceeds to say that NARVAEZ, SERRANO, and Ros DE OLANO had a conference, after which they had an interview with the QUEEN, and caused her to consent to the change of Midistry. To induce her to sign the de crees at that very moment, her MAJESTY, it says, was told that " a horrible conspiracy existed for com pelling the Government to decree the arming of the national militia, the dethroning of the QUEEN, the coronation of ESPARTERO, the abandonment of the Philippine Islands, Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Canaries to the English, and to consent to take part in be heading most of the peaceable inhabitants of Madrid." The Eco adds, that the discovery of this " horrible sun epLoesnes;,,, " a n m d u t s h t a th a h v e e represen t ed conspiracy" was ma d e b y General SERRANO, who, it t t s o t e h x e st ence QUEEN f t r h o 4 m t his duty and devotedness to her caused him to reveal it, and to recommend a change of Ministry as the most efficacious means of baffling it. More addresses Lto the Throne, expressing gratitude for the nomi- nation of ESPARTERO to the senate, had been re- ceived. General SERRANO has not been seen in public since the eventful night in which NAaVAEZ was re stored to power. SALAMANCA'S journal, the Correo, has ceased to appear. The QUEEN was to hold a grand levee on the 10th, in honour of her birthday. The hymn of Pius IX. was to be chanted on the occasion at the Circus by two hundred choristers. The capitalists of Madrid had placed a sum of nine millions of reels at the disposal of the new Minister of Finance. The Three per Cents. were done at 26 13-16 at 50 days; the Five per Cents., at 171 for paper; and the Debt without Interest, at si. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. It appears that Queen CHRISTINA left Paris on Sunday secretly for Madrid, in consequence of a tele graphic dispatch received from NARVAEZ requiring her immediate presence. SERRANO, in consideration, it is said, of a sum of fifty thousand pounds has con sented to leave Spain immediately. It is said that he will be appointed Captain-General of the Havannah„ The Presse, after making a furious attack upon Mr. BULWER and England, and boldly declaring that the recent changes in Spain were in no degree to be attributed to the diplomacy of M. GUIZOT, who had on every point been out-rnanasuvred by Mr. BULWER, proceeds to give the following as the programme of the Narvaez Ministry:— " Without doubt the formation of the new Cabinet, at the head of which Marshal Narvaez is placed, restores to the Moderado party the advantages which it had lost; it decides negatively the question of the dissolution of the Cortes ; that is an essential point; but we mutt not deceive ourselves as to the difficulties which we have so inconsiderately allowed to spring up and increase! To appreciate these difficulties, it is not necessary to describe them accurately, it is enough to allude to them. It was on October the 10th, 1846, that the marriage between Queen Isabella and the Duke de Cadiz was celebrated ; a year has scarcely elapsed, and during these twelve months how many regret able facts have occurred which cannot be effaced! In presence of 'these facts, which place on one side the King holding himself publicly apart, and on the other, General Serrano disposing openly according to his fancy of the existence of Cabinets, what is to be the conduct of the new President of the Council, what the new attitude of the Moderado party, what the language of the Cortes ? Has the Journal des Debats, which sings forth victory, carefully measured all the extent of these difficulties, and the joint re sponsibility, which M. Guizot does not fear to take on himself, in assuming a large share in the sudden change of Cabinet which has taken place at Madrid ? A grave and delicate task is imposed on the Mode redo party represented by the new Cabinet—that of the reconciliation of the Queen and Don Fran cisco. It is important to the honour and future prospects of that party to succeed in effecting this, for if its efforts are to remain vain, it would be a hundred times better in that case that it had left the Government in the hands of the Progressist party, under the moral complicity of Mr. Bulwer I A se paration as open as that which exists between the Queen and her husband cannot continue without giving birth to difficulties the most embarrassing, and questions the most delicate; there is one side by which this separation, if prolonged, is less grave than a divorce—that it does not permit England to com mence a new struggle against us, relative to a second marriage. Assuredly that is an important point, in what relates to the rivality between France and England; but in what concerns Spain there is a point not less essential, the prestige of royalty, destroyed by the publicity of a deplorable rupture occurring atter a few weeks of marriage, a rupture which it ought to have been easy to prevent, but which it will not be so easy to put an end to. We are much mis taken if the gravest difficulties are those which M. Guizot boasts of having overcome by the return of Marshal Narvaez to powor." The Moniteur contains two royal ordonnances opening to the Minister of Foreign Affairs--one, a supplementary credit to the estimates of 1846, of 255,000 f., for couriers and extraordinary missions ; and the other, a supplementary credit to the esti mates of 1847, of 700,000 f., for the same purposes. These supplementary credits for the department of Foreign Affairs may in some degree explain the na ture of the plans by which the success of NARVAEZ was procured. The Commerce has the following, under date Toulon, Bth inst.:-- " The Cacique steam-frigate has been ordered to hold herself in readiness to sail on the 10th, and we know that the Prince de Joinville, who is expected hourly, will take passage in that vessel and join the squadron at sea. The Prince will consequently stop but a short time at Toulon, and it is now very doubt ful that the squadron will return to our harbour at the close of the month. The Vice-Admiral de Join ville is evidently not going at this season to assume the command of a squadron of evolution ; he must have received an important mission. Some say that he has been ordered to Italy, others to Spain, but hithertolgnorant of his r ea l desti n are in circul a ti on .

The week offers little of political interest, all parties being at work canvassing for the next election. representation against the d ecree o f th e 22d of September b in to the ,i,a s presented by a d e p u t a ti on of Minister o f th e I n t er i or , an d T the he second Opotse Opposition oer last copies were also sent to the representatives of the Three Allied Powers. The grounds of complaint as stated by Se Opposition are :-- 1. That the decree in question does not provide a remedy for the electors who have been struck off the list of voters against the law. 2. That the nomination of the new Members to form the Committee of Revision, is intrusted to the rank Cabralists. civil governors, wh o are a ll , w ith b u t: one exception, 3. That the decree sanctions the illegality of the lists for the election of the municipalities, acknowledging the necessity of th e revision, an d at t h e same ti me adopt ing another system for the election of the Deputies ; and lastly, 4 th, that the decree leaves matters in a worse state than they were formerly , and makes no proviso in favour of the disfranchised citizens. It seems the repr esentat i on w ill be taken under con sideration at th e C ounc il o f Ministers, which is t o b e held again tomorrow for this purpose. On Sund a y w as a tt a cked by a party of evening the press of the Revolugao de Setembro, a journal considered as the organ of the Opposition, volun teers belongin g t o t h e sever al battalions of th e city. It seems they behaved riotously, and broke some panes of glass of the establishment, but the men em ployed there having called for assistance, the Municipal Guard came immediately to the spot, and the aggres sors fled away, without making any further demon stration of hostility against the establishment. It seems that this event was merely produced by the inebriation of a few volunteers, without any political I revolutions, the first, the Minh() revolution, and the second, the Oporto one, which was put down by foreign inteference. A great decrease has taken place in the revenue of the Excise duties, which were formerly calculated at two hundred thousand pounds sterling (or 900 contos), and which now scarcely amount to one hundred and twenty thousand pounds (or 550 contos). The Government intend to farm by public auction this revenue, and the official paper appoints the 25th of this month to receive tenders. The same scheme was resorted to during Count Tojal's Administration, and tenders were received to the amount of one hundred and forty thousand pounds (700 contos), but the Count refused to accept them, in expectation of a higher price in quiet times. Tranquillity, however, has been restored, and the revenue has decreased ; so to avoid a further depreciation, the Government wishes to farm out the Excise duties to the highest bidder, one of the conditions being a loan of 46,000 Z. (or 300 contos), to be advanced by the contractors. The Cabralista party has circulated through the town one of its clandestine publications, called Ma traca (the rattle), which lavishes plenty of abuse upon the English and their protocol. Sir H. G. Seymour is not spared in this publication, nor Lord Palmers ton, both being accused of connivance with the popular party, which, according to the witty scribbler, has sold Portugal to England I Such trash is pub lished and sold through the town by criers, who, it seems, are in the pay of the Cabralista party. This piece of foolery shows the incapacity and rashness of such a party, which resorts to such foul means. The day before yesterday (the 6th) was the anni versary of the military movement which produced the overthrow of the Duke of Palmella's Administra tion. Such a day is marked by too many sad recol lections to desen e the honours of a national festivity, and Ministers, I know, wished it should pass unno ticed, yet some imprudent Cabralist partisans thought proper to celebrate this anniversary with a dinner and skyrockets at the barracks of the Queen's Grena diers and of the Chartist volunteers. Such demon strations, to say the least, were most imprudent. Admiral Napier's fleet is exercising in the river, and the Government paper (the Diario) publishes an order for the landing of the troops to exercise on land, if the Admiral thinks it convenient. Of course this order has been severely censured by the Cabra list party and its organs. The official order in the Government paper was, no doubt, wisely published, to avoid any misconception on the part of the political adversaries of Ministers, who have to deal with very disloyal enemies. The news received by express of a complete change of Ministers in Madrid has given new life to this Ad ministration, which, connected as it is, since the Pro tocol, with Spanish political affairs, must, of course, greet the accession of Narvaea to power. The market continues still dull ; there is great scarcity of money, and the discount on bank notes is at 1:720 reis per moidor, or 36 per cent. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDA Y. Although the arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise, during the present week, viz., 5,080 quarters, have been tolerably good, the show of samples here to-day was small, nevertheless the demand for all descriptions was in a very depressed state, and, to effect sales, lower prices must have been submitted to. Upwards of 43,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand. This large importation had a very depressing influence upon the demands, and the quotations receded Is, per quarter. Most of the supply of Barley was taken by the insisters and others at Monday's currencies. Superfine Malt sold freely at very full prices. The value of all other kinds was well supported. The Oat trade was very dull, and the inferior parcels of Foreign Corn were 6d. per quarter cheaper. Beans and Peas supported late rates, but all other articles were a very slow inquiry, Wheat.

This was decidedly one of the worst markets for qua ity we ever remember—at least nine-tenths of the stock being greatly out of condition, and unfit for the gene rality of butchers. As might, therefore, be expected, the few really prime Beasts on offer—the number of which scarcely amounted to 50—commanded a ready sale, at improving prices; and the value of other breeds was well supported. The show of Foreign Stock was again large, viz., 139 Oxen and Cows, 2,215 Sheep, 122 Calves, and 30 Pigs, chiefly from Holland and Germany. Some of the sheep just referred to have appeared here on eight previous market-days without finding buyers. This has arisen from the positively un wholesome state in which they have been landed. Prime Downs sold freely, at full currencies. In other breeds of Sheep next to nothing was doing. Calves wore in full average supply, and steady inquiry, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. In Pigs comparatively little was doing, at late rates. Mitch Cows were heavy, at from 151 to 181 each, including their small Calf. cause. I On Sunday next a great Cabralist meeting is to I take place at Rua dos Monros, in a palace let for die purpose. The convening invitations are made in the name of Costa Cabral, who has summoned all his fol lowers, in order to make a great display of numerical strength, and thus demonstrate to the Ministers of the three Allied Powers his great popularity. Nothing, however, can be more erroneous than such a display, which proves merely that in the class of placemen, and in the army, Costa Cabral has many partisans, but elsewhere he is most unpopular. Certainly we cannot forget that his misrule brought about two Per albs. to sink the offal. s. d. to v. d.

Our market for all kinds of new Hops, the supply of which is almost daily on the increase, is still in a very dull state, and to effect sales a further decline in the quotations of from 2s to 4s per cwt. must be submitted to by the holders.

INDIGO.—The qualities of the Bengal are about four fifths mid and ord, and one-fifth good, with a small pro portion of fine. The Madras and Kurpah about three fourths mid and ord, and one-fourth good and fine. The sale-room presented a very full appearance, there being a good attendance both of foreign and home buyers. The sales opened with a parcel of Bengal, and after the announcement of a few withdrawers (176 chests), biddings commenced, but without animation, and continued so throughout. From the numerous largo failures of houses in the East India trade, combined with the extreme ti g ht ness o f th e mone y market, and the very large quantity brought forward, it is not to be wondered at, that prices were expected to give way considerably ; this has been the case to some extent, and we quote as follows •--for Bengal, the finer qualities Id to 2d, and for consumers 3d to 44 per lb lower ; Kurpah and Madras, 13 to 2d per lb lower; 1,201 chests have passed to-day, from which 324 chests have been withdrawn, and 427 chests brought in, leaving 450 actually sold. • During the last two days the sales have gone at a further decline and heavily. The quantity-passed is 2,310 chests, of which 566 chests passed, and 1,634 were withdrawn.

Rail way Shares, however, there was no improvement, the pressure for money being as decided as ever. The steamer from America is anxiously looked for. There is a report of another mercantile suspension in the East India trade, but the amount probably will not be very heavy. If correct, we may b. enabled to con firm it later in the day. Knapp's Abingdon Bank has suspended. Some prospect would exist of an improvement in the general state of affairs if we could satisfy those who have funds at command that there is reason to hope that the worst is over. Few, however, will venture to loan their capital, and we must say that in refusing aid upon undeniable security, there is something like usury ap parent, and a desire to make the most of the crisis. Many of our traders are most substantial in their re sources, and should not be so remorselessly treated. We have heard of one graphic illustration of that independance which conscious security imparts, an individual having declined to take up bills not due, which he had discounted at the Bank of England, al• though the penalty has been the stoppage of his account. Tho practice, in these times especially, is one to be greatly reprobated, and resistance thereto becomes a virtue. LER.tr:l: The accounts from the provinces differ but little from those already come to hand. The most favourable we have seen are from Glasgow, where money seems com paratively easy. In the provinces matters would soon improve were the impulse given. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company had a very favourable meeting yesterday, and declared a dividend of 11. 15s. per share, notwithstanding the outlay of 40,0001. in the purchase and repair of the Great Western and the completion of the new steamer Conway. After all its reverses, this company appears to be getting round excellently, though mainly relying upon the Government contract. The report of the directors states : " Referring on the other hand to the receipts from pas sengers and freight, the proprietors will be gratified to oiperve that there is an increase under every head, ex cept homeward freight, the falling off in which has been already accounted for. The measures adopted to pro mote the transit across the Isthmus of Panama are gradually producing the desired effect. Since the end of March last, many passengers have passed by that route, and there have been shipments of specie by each packet, the amount of which seems steadily on the increase." The Funds are weak still, though they have exhibited a slight tendency upwards during the morning. The settlement of the Account exercises most influence upon prices, and besides one or two failures in the Stock Ex change, there have been " suspensions" among the small fry of speculators out of doors.
