'::arcing .. 11 minutes after 6. Evening .. 39 minutes ,ncr G. nioruin'g jtn LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1847. Intelligence is arriving now with such rapidity, and of such an extraordinary character, from the different quarters of the habitable globe, that it can neither be uninteresting nor unprofitable to take a comprehen sive but cursory glance at its peculiarities. Recent alterations in the Legislatures of Foreign countries hare assimilated, or are gradually assimilating, so many millions of the human race with ourselves, that it is with peculiar emotions we take into consi deration the liberal institutions which have recently sprung into existence. Our sympathies are conse quently enlisted in an especial manner in the relations subsisting between the kingdoms beyond our shores. When Prussia is obtaining an elective Parliament li, fr om th e sagac i ous generos i ty o f it s en ,h iened, SOVEREIGN and when the inhabitants even of the Papal States are receiving the boon of a species o f representative Conclave t from th e ir illus trious rul er , we may, upon hh , the e out affect a t ion , con gratulate ourselv es progress, both politi calo and social, o f our own generation; and w e may selve s t o ridi e be permitted, witho u t su bj ecting cube, to speak with something l the progressive regeneratio n of mankind on of being effected under the auspic es of Christla w ri h it 'ch 13 Although we are startled by th e account of palling butcheries in the Chinese empire—butcheries such a frightful magnitude that we should b e dis posed to regard the rumours with incredulity but for our recollection of the sanguinary temperament of the Budhisis and the extraordinary numerical stn ngth of the subjects of the Celestial EMPEROR— although we are told of the massacre of 130,638 individuals in the departments of Chang-Chao and Tseven-Chao, we must acknowledge that the in formation received fr)rn the Asiatic dominions is generally of a more bloodless character than hereto fore. The dispatches just arrived from India, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, are almost of a kind to cause exultation and gratitude, even in the sudden and mysterious death, already mentioned, of the in famous ARBAR KHAN. Reports are divided as to whether that ruthless chieftain has fallen a victiirri; his own inordinate intemperance or to poison, admi nistered to him at the instigation of his parental enemy. No individual among his contemporaries was held in such universal and merited execra tion as the deceased Wuzeer, and no one will be go totally devoid of persons to bewail his disappearance. Among the significant cir cumstances which are now transpiring in our Oriental possessions, or in . their immediate vici nity, must be mentioned the reformation already vi sible in the behaviour c. f his Highness GHOOLAB SINGS. At present he is described as enacting the part of a reformed rake ; he has apparently sown the last handful of his wild oats, and is now engaged in weeding out the tares and thistles. Besides this sin gular phenomenon in the physiology of Eastern princes we must record the question which has recently been agitated in the provisional government of Lahore, namely, whether or not the young Maharaja DUULEEP is to receive the advantages of an English education. Unhappily the proposition has for the time been abandoned in consideration of certain reli gious prejudices prevalent a mong th e i n h a bi tants o f the Punjaub, and likewise in consequence of a defi ciency of revenue. Travelling in imagination from this metropolis, in a totally opposite direction, we discern in the ac counts arriving from the United States a vague pro bability of a conclusion to the warfare that has been so long desolating the provinces of Mexico. The usual exaggeration is of course perceptible in the braggart narratives of native prowess and generalship contained in the Yankee newspapers. According to these vain glorious scribblers, SANTA. ANNA has yielded to the inferior numbers but the superior determination of the men commanded by old ZACHARY TAYLOR ; accord ing to them, also, the disturbances which recently prevailed in California have been suppressed ; Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, with a gar rison of four thousand men, have been delivered into the hands of the American assailants, under General SCOTT, and the capital of Chihuahua has at last capi tulated to the division of Colonel DONIPITAN. Not to mention the circumstance of these incredible assurances having been preceded by a hiatus of nine days alto gether unaccounted for, we must observe that the statements received from New York are so flagrantly 1 contradictory, and so ludicrously incongruous, that it is impossible to place any reliance whatever upon the accuracy of the American dispatches until they shall have been confirmed by others coming directly from the Mexican frontier. While these remarkable events are presumed to be occurring on the opposite shores of the Atlantic, a very fortunate change is visible in the political tem perament of the Iberians. Scarcely has Queen ISA BELLA scattered the Afrancesado faction derisively to the winds, and invoked the loyalty of the Spanish multitude than Queen MARIA DA GLORIA releases herself from the thraldom of her evil adviser. The propositions forwarded to Lisbon by Lord PALMERSTON have at length met with the cordial ac • ceptance of the Lusitanian SOVEREIGN. All differ ences are, by the English intervention, to be amicably arranged between the MONARCH and the people of Portugal. Civil war in that kingdom may already be counted among the bygones, and there is every reasonable probability that the Junta of Oporto will waive all exorbitant demands for the satisfaction of granting tranquillity and constitutional freedom to their countrymen. Not merely is the Saldanha Ministry dismissed, but an entirely new one, under the direction of ILDEFONSO LEOPOLDO BAYARD, as head of the Department for Foreign Affairs, has been formed by the personal exertion and selection of MARIA DA GLORIA herself. A termination to the woes that have been during so many months inflicted upon the Portuguese through the obstinacy of the Court party may, therefore, be confidently antici pated ; and it must never be forgotten that whatever aivantages arise from the settlement of the late ani mosities will be attributable, first, to the justice of the popular clamour; secondly, to the decisive conduct of the Junta of Oporto; thirdly, to the courage, the ardour, and the perseverance of the insurgent commanders DAS ANTAS, SA DA BANDEIRA, and their subordinate assistants, and, finally, to the well-timed and judicious interposition of the British Government. Before dismissing the consideration of the state in which the various foreign dominions in the two he mispheres are placed, it must be recorded that matters continue quite as unsettled as ever in countries bor dering on the river Plata. In Turkey, moreover, the misunderstanding still remains unadjusted between the Sublime Porte and King OTHo. Efforts are making t'or the tranquillisation of Kurdistan, but otherwise the Ottoman Government is encompassed with difficulties, both Grecian and Russian. Consolatory news is arriving, however, from the opposite shores of the Levant,—news of a more consolatory character than that of territorial aggrandisement or diplomatic suc cess—the approaching corn and rice harvests of Egypt promise to be unusually prolific. With this encouraging announcement we conclude our summary. Mr. WATSON deserves much credit for the persever ance and energy he has exhibited in bringing before the country the various abuses that still exist in our Courts of Law, with a view to their correc tion and amendment. Much has of late years been done; extensive and valuable alterations have been introduced, and each succeeding year has seen some of the remaining impurities swept away and abolished. But much still remains to be effected— there is still a wide field and ample opportunities for the labour of legal reformers. It is not merely in the principles of the law that these changes are required. .fhere are many point s i n t h e pract i ce , i n t h e manner In which its machinery is brought into operation, apparently of trivial importance in themselves, which practically are productive ofconsiderable inconvenience, and which, in many instances, amount to a denial of justice to the suitor. The number and amount of the fees demanded in every stage of the proceedings —both at law or in equity—may be enumerated as among the more prominent of these grievances No matter how well-founded may be the claim of the injured party, he is prevented from seeking redress unless he is prepared to advance large sums for the payment of those fees, which he must, under the most favourable circumstances, be satisfied to lie out of for a considerable period. The poor man's progress is arrested at the very threshold of the temple of justice. There is no entrance for him unless he is prepared to pay heavy perquisites to the greedy janitors by whom the portal is guarded. But this is not all ; there are many bars, at each of which a heavy toll i 3 demanded before the seeker for justice is suffered to proceed on his journey. Even if dragged before the tribunals by unjust and un warranted claims, he is not permitted to defend himself unless he is prepared to comply with the extortionate demands made upon his purse. If he does not appear he is condemned by default, and perhaps deprived of his property, or made to expiate faults of which he was never guilty. If he appears he must pay, and that heavily, before he is allowed to answer the charge. It is not merely an amount sufficient to pay the ex penses attendant on the administration of justice I that is levied from the pockets of the suitors, but considerable sums are each year paid into the na tional exchequer. in the Court of Chancery alone no less than a quarter of a million sterling is annually abstracted from the litigants ; while from the other law courts, in the three years ending in 1843, after payment of the salaries of officers, and the amount of compensations, more than 100,0001. sterling were ap plied to the general purposes of the country. Surely such a state of things should not be sanctioned or s y slmtlevme rEvery should of fees promptly tsifsohr tchi tolerated. f A sweeping and efficient measure of re form th n abolished. of his natural liberty e in .return;rsfoar surrenders enacted, and the entire afforded by m th an e y S r t e a s t t e to his and c t e hp r er t o a pp in reor p ttye o ,c r —t t i l o o hn n e I submit s to person - he contributes accordlin restrictions for the common weal— I expense—is taxed in almost his means to the general 0 the moment he calls upon th:vneart possible manner, but of the contract to afford himieirtedte perfor m its part denied that protection, unless he p a ys largely he is totally The justice that should be open to !ver claimant,ayrgely for it. the poor as well as . to the rich, is withheld until it to purchased by the suitor. These fees are relics of the olden time, wh en jobbing pervaded every portion of the State machine. Friends, relatives, or dependents of the leading members of the predominant party were to be provided for. Sinecures were created, new fees were THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1847. levied from the public to make up the necessary amount. A payment by fees was always preferred to a fixed salary. There were not in those bygone days so many prying and inquisitive legislators who would find out the aggregate amount of.those much loved fees. It would not do to have a prothonatory or clerk receiving, for trifling duties, a certain sum, exceeding the amount payable to the chief judge of the court o f which he was an infe rior officer ; but let him be remunerated by fees, and it could easily be managed. Ther• need, then, be no assignable limits to the amount which he might extract from the pockets of the people. This prac tice, of late years, has been materially checked ; almost all the officers are now paid by fixed salaries, but still the fees are levied and collected, and mani fold opportunities for peculation are still permitted to exist. We trust that the Select Committee, on Wednesday night conceded to Mr. WATSON, will by their report expose all the abuses of the system, and tend to its total and permanent abolition. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 29th of April. The QUEEN has accepted the terms proposed by the British Government, and Colonel \VYLDE left Lisbon on the 29th for St. Übes, to put a stop to further hostilities. A complete amnesty is extended to all, so that not only the leaders of the Junta forces but the prisoners of Torres Vedras will be enabled to return to Lisbon. If the terms are not accepted there will be an armed intervention by England in support of the QUEEN. The following Ministerial appointments have been made : Finance and, ad interim, Marine and Colonies — Count TOJAL. Interior—FRANCISCO TAVARES DEI ALMEIDA PROENCA. Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs AIANOEL DUARTE LEITAO. Foreign Affairs and, ad int•rina, War—ILDEFONSO LEoroLDo BAYARD. There remain two places to be filled up. This is a coalition Ministry. ToJAL, one of the old Ministers, has always been in favour of accepting the terms proposed by Lord PALMERSTON ; BA YARD is not of very decided political opinions. LEITAO is a moderate Septembrista ; and PROENCA, a moderate Chartist. The news from Oporto is to the 29th. All was quiet there, and SALDANLIA had not moved from his old quarters. Cesar. and his troops have definitively evacuated the province of Tras•os-Montes. A corvette, of twenty guns, belonging to the blockading squadron, had surrendered to the Junta; she is called the Eighth of July. The Falcon steamer was load ing with wine for London, intending to force the blockade. The capture of the Royal Tar by the Junta's steamer Minden° was known at Oporto. It is said that the Junta will not accept any terms of accommodation unless their troops are allowed to garrison Lisbon and Oporto as gua rantees against any future coup d'etat. The troops of the Junta occupy the provinces of Tras os-Montes and the Minho. The Jackal steamer has been sent to Viana to release the British shipping detained there by the Governor of the Castle. The Oporto Bank has been coi npelled to make good by monthly instalments the remainder of the forced loan of 200 contos. Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have arrived. A deputation, consisting of 01.( )ZAGA, MENDIZABAL, CORTINA, and other Progressist a leaders, waited on the QUEEN on the 28th, to petit;,on her 11.12assrr to extend the benefit of the amnesty to ESPARTERO. The QUEEN replied that personay she desired union, but that the question must be referred to the Council of Ministers. The dignity of Grandee of Spain has been conferred, together with the title of Duke of SARAGOSSA, on the son of General PALArox. The Committee in the case of A VIRINETA and C - nico have determined to recommend the Chamber to pass the Bill of In demnity demanded by the government, abstaining, however, at the same time, from giving any opinion as to the legality of their artest. MADRID BOLSA, APRIL `29.—The Three per Cents. were done at 311, for ea. ih ; the Five per Cents. at 19 ; the Debt, without. interest, at 5i ; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, a letter of General CUBIERES was read, accusing the Ministry of corruption. This letter had been produced in the course of a process still pending before the courts of law, and the attentia m of the Chamber was directed to it by M. :MITRE? DE BORD. On this subject. the Sicle says— " We quoted yest erday a correspondence, in which a Peer of France, a Lieut errant-General, a former Minister General Cubieres) , and, subsequently, a shareholder in a mining com pany, declares en: it ' the Government is placed in corrupt and rapacious hands ;' that, ' in order to insure the success of a legitimate clair,i, it had been necessary to obtain the inte rested support •tif one of the members of the Councils' and that he (tt:e General) ' had it in his power to secure that support if the company would consent to sacrifice. fifty shares.' That fact was denounced to the Cf.ramber Deputies on Monday by M. Muret de Bord. The indignation was too general, and the scandal too flagrant, to permit the Ministry to remain silent. Al. Dumon accordingly announced, in a solemn tone, that the facts shuuld be legally investigated. Messrs. L'Herbett: and Cremieux contended that the Ministry should not condn e itself to a mere judiciary prosecution, and that more sigr,al reparation was required. They, however, ob served t.l - ,at the Administration had itself excited those cu pidities, and to a certain extent justified those suspicions, by profesni rig and przctiiing the doctrine of ' material interests.' • Minis cers,' said M. Cremieux, 'had voluntarily exposed po litical . men to temptation, to distrust, and to calumnies, when they r( jected a proposition having for its object to exclude menklaf:rs of both Chambers from all participation in enter prises within the gift of the Government.' After having elo quen.av dwelt upon those premises M. Cremieux deposited the following proposition in the hands of the President : 'No member of either Chamber shall be lessee or adminis trator of any railroadconcession or any other concession,made in virtue of the law or by the Government.' " The Presse makes this accusation one of the grounds of a violent attack upon the Ministry. The Debats thus drily announces the intention of the Ministry : " As to the incident which occurred at the commencement of the sitting with respect to the letters of General Despans Oubii:res, Minister of War, of the Cabinet of Ist of March, we shall content ourselves by indicating it. These letters were produced in a process still pending before the Tribunhdoi First Instance. The infamous imputations they contain wii be cleared up. The guilty parties, whoever the 3, may be, will not escape the punishment they merit. The Ministry has taken an engagement to bring these dark intrigues before justice— it is all that it can do, and it will do it. We congratulate the Hon. M. Muret de Bord on having elicited the explanations or the Government." The National and the Courrier Francais have also articles on the same subject. The article in the latter journal concludes with the following address to the Ministry : " Ah, you who are accused of having sold your support for forty-live shares in a mining concern, what would you not do at this rate if your support was put up to auction, to deliver your country to a foreign Power? Do you forget that venality on so mean a scale is more ignominious thAn treason ?" Several of the journals hare rather long leading ar ticles on the Russian investment in the foreign funds, which the Reforme quaintly characterises as a new invasion of the civilised world by Cossacks in the shape of metal. According to a return presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday by the Minister of Marine, no fewer than 111 sailing ships of war had been built in France from 1830 to 1846, namely, 6 ships of the line, 24 frigates, 28 corvettes, 24 brigs, and 34 smaller vessels. The number of steamers constructed during the same period amounted to 70, namely, 4 large frigates of 450 to 540 horse-power, 14 frigates of 450 ditto, 2 corvettes of 300 to 400 ditto, 13 of 220 ditto, 30 of 160 ditto, and 7 of 120 ditto. In the course of the debate in the Chamber on Monday the Minister of Marine, in allusion to the French fleet in the Mediterranean, said— " At no former period has France sent to sea a squadron in which the least of the ships is a 100-gun ship, a squadron which reckons three three-deckers, that is, three ships of the greatest power, and to which we took care to attach as many steamers of 450 horse-power as there are ships; so that, at the same instant, the Commander.in-Chief of that naval force can employ a 450 horse-power steamer to tow each of those large ships. Thus, the most imposing float ing mass, a I'2o-gun ship, was never rendered more efficient, more adapted to resist all the difficulties of the sea and weather, and better able to proceed with rapidity to the points where it might be necessary to make a demonstra tion."

The news brought by the Arcole is of great importance, and details the bombardment and capture of the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, with the loss on the side of the Mexicans of 1,000, and 16 Americans killed and 50 wounded. The character of the commercial news is not ma terially changed since the former advices were re ceived. Money was easy, freights were lower, business very brisk, and the people of the Union full of activity and good humour, at the prospect of realising a large amount of dollars, and of their trade with Europe, and the glory obtained in their conflict with the republic of Mexico. There had been several arrivals out at New York and Boston, with later intell igence from England, and although the accou nts co nveyed out reported a dee pres sales liri s ngma il rk t et l in grain, holders seeme d di s i nc li ne d tothe arrival of advic es by th e Cam bria, which was anxious l y loo ked for. down from Alba n y oa fn The otuhre anN west e Hudsonsgtr gran on a s Nue q , e u ry v i t e e passy op o e r n i kn , and larg e quantities for export a ti on t o d Europe.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAY 4.—The symptoms to-day have changed for the worse. The first bulletin this morning states, that the cough was troublesome throughout the night, and that his Excellency is not so well as yesterday. It is apprehended that a suffusion of water in the region of the chest, which gave way to medical treatment towards the close of last week, is again accumulating, affecting the respiratory organs, and inducing the cough, which deprives the Noble Earl of the rest which is all-essential to his depressed condition. Up to post hour there was no change in his Ex cellency's symptoms, nor was there any other bulletin issued. CAPTURE OF VERA CRUZ AND SAN JUAN D'ULLOA. We have received a copy of the New York Journal of Commerce of the 16th ult., which was furnished to our correspondent at Plymouth by a pilot, who obtained it from an American packet bound to Havre. The following extracts from the Journal of Com merce leave no doubt as to the capture of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa by the American force under General Scott, though in the absence of the intermediate papers between the 7th, the latest previous date, and the 16th ult., we are unable to furnish our readers with any details . of the operations ,n question : " AN AVALANCHE OF VICTORIES. " On the Ist day of the present month we published the first authentic intelligence of the battle of Buena Vista, in which General Taylor, with 5,000 men, de feated Santa Anna, with 20,000. Since that date, we have announced the recapture of Los Angelos, which had risen against the new authorities in California, and the re-establishment of American rule throughout that territory. Also the defeat and dispersion of the insur gents in New Mexico. Also the unconditional sur render of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, with 4.000 troops, to the American forces under General Scott. And, lastly, the capture of Chihuahua, capital of the state of the same name, by a force under Colonel Doniphan. Such a succession of victories (two of them most important) is something new in our annals, and it is to be hoped may had the Mexican Government, if there be such a Government, to treat for peace. If, however, it should beget in the minds of our people a thirst for military glory, it will prove to be the greatest calamitywhich ever betel us. Peace is our element, and without it we cannot expect permanently or long con tinued prosperity. If Mexico should now be inclined to negotiate, we trust our Government will do itself the honour to offer liberal terms, such as will show to the world that as this war came upon us unexpectedly, and contrary to our most ardent wishes, so it has been pro secuted, not for territorial aggrandizement, nor to de press a weaker power, but because there has not been a moment since it broke out when Mexico would listen to propositions for peace, although overtures for that object have been repeatedly tendered." (From the Washington Union.) MILITARY APPOINTMENTS. The President, as will be perceived in the announce ment in this day's paper, has filled the vacancies occa sioned by the declination of General Benton and General Cumming to accept the command of Major-Generals in the army of the United States, by appointment of Bri gadier-Generals Pillow and Quitman, of the Volunteers now serving in Mexico. They have both had the ad• vantage of the experience of near a year's active service in Mexico, and, we learn, are esteemed in the army as among the most valuable officers in the service. General Pillow has performed valuable services in the field, and was among the moat conspicuous officers of the army in the recent bombardment and siege of the city of Vera Cruz and Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa. He was selected by General Scott as one of the three officers under his command to adjust with the enemy the terms of sur render. General Quitman acted most gallantly at the battle of Monterey. There is a peculiar propriety in making promotions to these important commands from the volunteer service. The promotion of Colonel Cushing, who now commands a regiment of volunteers in Mexico, to be a brigadier-general of volunteers, is also well deserved. He is a man of distin guished talents, and has exhibited great patriotism in his late exertions to raise the Massachusetts regiment of volunteers. Thus the country will perceive that the Administration is organizing the army to its full com plement of officers. It is not enough to g a in a victory —we must fully profit by it. N . ? man will complain of the want of energy in the Administration. The war will be prosecuted with the utmost vigour until the object has been accomplished, by securing an honourable peace. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Journal of Commerce writes as follows : " The illumination next Monday will be on the most extensive scale. All the districts have followed the lead of the city, and made appropriations for the purpose. We have had no general illumination here since La Fayette's visit, twenty odd years ago." The New Orleans Commercial Times of the 7th ultimo, has the following late intelligence from Mexico : " We have been permitted to peruse several private letters, of a very late date, from the city of Mexico, written by persons of the highest respectability, and whose sources of information are ample. They state as a matter of positive certainty, that negotiations for peace between the United States and Mexico are under advisement, and that the return of Santa Anna, who was hourly expected, would be the signal fur the com mencement of overtures." The New Orleans Della of the same date adds— "La Patria has received a letter dated Tampico, March 24, 1847, from which we make the following ex tract:— "`Private letters from the capital, written on the night of the 18th, state that General Santa Anna has just ar rived in that city. It is also stated that the revolution against the administration of Gomez Farias had at length been terminated in a favourable manner to the Govern ment, and that Generals Pena, Barragan, and Salas, who were the heads of the opposition to Gomez Farias, had been shot. Ido not knew if this last information be correct. We are anxiously awaiting the mail to con firm or negative the report.' " The subjoined intelligence respecting a State loan is from the correspondence of the Journal of Com merce : _ . " WASHINGTON, APRIL .14. _ " The loan was rated yesterday, and the bidders notified of the acceptance of their proposals. Con coran and Riggs, of this city, obtained fourteen millions and seven hundred thousand dollars, at one-eighth of one per cent. advance. Elisha Riggs, of New York, obtained one million four hundred thousaed dollars, at the same rate. Of the remaining a two u hundred r t t e h r o e u f s a e n h d e d per e l l r a r e v a a k h e e ll e in t T h h i s e c r i t e y s , t at is sum nineteen hundred thousand dollars about s en w t. as ad t scattered among individuals, trustees, &c.. at a quarter, half, and one, and even two per cent. The premium does not average half of one per cent., nor even a quarter. The New Yorkers bid at par, or less than one-eighth advance, except Mr. Elisha Riggs, as above stated. Conccran and Riggs have sold some portion of their stock at alf per cent two-and-a h advance. The - Secretary of the Treasury will call in t he whole of the loan, but at such ti mes as the money may be wanted; — thus savinc, disturbance cf the interest, and avoiding anY money mark e t by the sudden withdrawal of such an amount in specie. If there should be peace with Mexico, in the course even of thirty days, still the expenses of the war will be continued for at least two or three years. I If we do not retain the military posse ssion of the country , with a ve r y l arge f orce, we shall :soon find that we shall have the whole work to do over again. The revenue harvest, now so rich that it will yield by estimate 30,000,000 between Ist December last and let December next, may not be so good the next year. There is reason to suppose that the present halcyon times will not continue for ever. So, after all, tho New Yorkers may have been right in declining t o bid above par for the loan. The Secretary of the Treasury calculate s, as I learn, upon a revenue of $15,000,000 from the "military contri butions" imposed upon Mexico, for the first year, a fter the opening of the Mexican ports to trade. I coD suited o ne 4.r two men here, who were, for a long time, resident mer chants in different parts of Mexico, as to the pro d spe w c a s s of revenue from the system lately adopted, a . n t assured that, by the Ist of January next, the im , por s into Mexico, under the rates of duty fixed by the I t rea tt : sury order, would, in all probability, ti 6,000,000. Should the war continue, this sum will p to defray its expenses. Even should it cease, I presume it will be stipulated in the treaty that we shall continuo to collect and retain these revenues for a certain length of time—during the whole time that w e may be obliged to sustain a military force in Ilexico, with a view to enforce the fulfilment of the terms of any trt aty of peace. In New Jersey the grain and hay crops are healthy, and instead of being frozen up as reported, the wheat and rye fields present an unprecedented appearance of fertility. At Boston, on the 14th, the ship Morea cleared out with breadstuffs, valued at 21,500 dolls., for the relief committee at Glasgow. THE MARKETS. NENY YORK, APRIL 15. Flour—Sales, 2,000 Gennessee, in lots, at 7 doll:. 75c. ; 500 THE CHRISTIAN COMMON- WEALTH. Before Mr. J. M. Morgan, who is on his way to England from Italy, left Rome, he submitted the following summary of his views to several Cardinals and to the Agricultural Commission. A copy of the summary was also laid before the Pope : That which peculiarly distinguishes the proposed Christian colony from the constitution of society in general, is the power which it affords of maintaining the supremacy of religion, not only in theory and in precept, and in framing the laws and regulations, but in spirit and in truth, by sup pressing or prohibiting 11:,institutions, practices, and influ ences, calculated to impair the love of God and man, as the ruling principle of action ; thereby strengthening the motives to good conduct, by discouraging the temptation to evil, and more especially by rigidly excluding competition and a spirit of rivalry. It is this pernicious principle of competition that has been the great impediment, both in Catholic and Protestant countries, to the existence and diffusion of vital Christi anity. It has perpetuated war, and left Christian Europe little to rejoice in from any liminution of its barbarous conflicts since the ambitious conquests of Pagan Rome. It has perverted the blessings of peace, and inflicted misery upon the people, no less fatal to their general improvement and happiness than the scourges of war, and it is the chief cause of the present famine. If Europe has the power, as no one can doubt, of produc ing food in superabundance, and of laying up a store of three or four years' supply for all its population, to guard against the consequences of bad harvests, why has it not been done ? Because competition limits production to the market demand, and the market demand is limited not by the actual wants of the people, but by their inability to purchase. It the wants of a neighbourhood require 1,000 quarters of corn, and 1,200 quarters are brought to market, there is a competition among the sellers, in order that they may not be the holders of the 200 quarters unsold, and the prices fall if, on the contrary , 800 quarters only are brought to the mar ket, there is a competition among the buyers, that they may not be among those who are left destitute, and the prices rise. It is this uncertainty, under a system of competition, of o btaining a remunerating price, that limits the g rowth of c orn and the quantity of all useful productionF. When the people are organised in communities, or Christian colonies, with such moditications as the monastic orders and other religious societies of the present day might suggest for the further advance of mankind in religion and virtue, and for the greater and more beneficial progress of science, the uncertainty of markets will cease, as the communities in different localities will adopt a system of exchange, and their mutual wants will be for several years anticipated. HEALTH OF THE KING OF HOLLAND.—The follow ing bulletin was issued under date Hague, May 4 :—" The intermittent fever under which his Majesty is suffering con tinues to abate.—The Hague, May 3. " P. F. EVERARD, M.D. " BECKERS, M.D." THE INSTALLATION OF PRINCE ALBERT AT CAM MUDGE.—We are enabled to state, upon the best authority, that it is the intention of her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, as well as his Royal Highness the Chancellor of the University, to honour Cambridge with a visit at the ensuing commencement. It is expected that her 'Majesty and her Royal Consort will be present at the performance of the in stallation ode in the Senate House, on Tuesday - , July 6th, and will pass two nights in Cambridge. The foregoing an nouncement is in itself a contradiction of rumours which have prevailed, to the effect that the installation will very likely be postponed. But in order to remove all doubt upon the subject from the minds of our readers, we beg to state as explicitly as we can, that the installation of Prince Albert as the Chancellor of the University will positively take place at the ensuing commencement, and that even the great stum bling-block, a general election, will not be allowed to inter fere with the arrangements that have been made.—Cambrid ge Chronicle. ST. ANNE'S SCHOOL. — On Wednesday at three o'clock a meeting of the friends and supporters of the Royal Asylum of St. Anne's School, Brixton-hill, which is esta blished for maintaining, education, and clothing the children of those once in prosperity, was held at the Asylum, for the purpose of distributing rewards to the females who bad been in the school, and who received testimonials according to the length of time they had respectively filled the situations they had been placed in. The Bishop of Winchester pre sided, and several of the clergy of the neighbourhood at tended. The school-room was crowded, the majority being ladies residing in the vicinity. The whole of the children of the school, amounting to 150 boys and 80 girls ware also present, who, with the candidates, were addressed by the Right Reverend Prelate, and who forcibly impressed upon them the importance of a strict attention to their duties through life. There were 36 young women who were appli cants for the several rewards, which consisted of money, bibles, and other religious books. They were presented by his Lordship. The proceedings lasted about two hours. A DISTINGUISHED CHARACTER.—" The most cu rious incident," says the Union 111onarchigue, " that occurred at the meeting of the officers of the National Guard in the galleries of the Louvre, was that of beholding a chief of battalion, dressed in his grand uniform, and whose breast was covered with twelve decorations—five crosses, four cra chats, and three collars Pending the two hours during which the officers waited in the grand gallery, that officer was constantly surrounded by a crowd anxiously inquiring in what kingdoms, in what battles, and for what exploits he had gained more orders than ever figured on the breast of Turenne or Massena? The enigma was soon solved. The name of M. Alexandre Dumas' having been uttered, curi o.tity ceased, and made room for raillery." AMATEUR DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE, ST. JAMES'S Tsle AT ItE. —iler Majesty, we understand, has commanded her box to be retained for the second amateur performance for the benefit of the distressed Scotc h and Irish, which is to take place at this theatre on the 13th inst. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent has also retained a box for the occasion. The performance will consist of Lord Elles mere's adaptation of - Victor Hugo's romantic play of Her tzani, and Planche's comedy of Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday I were 4,000 bales, including 3,000 bales of American on spe culation at 6_ l 4d. to 7 1 / 2 d. per lb. The market was very dull and V 4 d. to ,gd. per lb. lower than on Friday last. Shares declined again. The accounts from America note a rise in the exchange, but corn was high and cotton firm. There is rather an important statement made in the City this morning, viz., that the Bank of England has acceded to the representations of an influential deputation from Man chester, and acknowledging the importance of infusing life into our textile manufactories, as a means of promoting the execution of the orders received from America, has deter mined to afford reasonable and legitimate assistance to the traders of that district. This, in contradistinction to the policy observed generally towards Liverpool, where the bead quarters of the cotton speculation being fixed, occasions such unceasing anxiety to the Bank, is a line of con duct which, supposing it to have been resolved upon as stated, would give very general satisfaction here. It is further said, that a large amount of the merchants' bills held by the Bank having run out, and been punctually liquidated, there is more disposition to grant discount accom modation on fresh paper. We have received from Messrs. J. S. Tripp and Co. some remarks upon railway matters, which seem to deserve atten tion. They observe that— " To form A correct estimate of any particular railway, it is essential that the half-yearly accounts should be made out in the fullest, simplest, and most distinct manner, without any concealment or mystification. " Each ball-yearly statement should recapitulate sepa rately and distinctly the capital authorised to be raised by shares, and by loan—the capital already raised by shares and by loan—the sum expended, the sum on hand—the amount and rata of interest received from and paid to bankers for balances—profit and loss upon the sale and purchase of shares and securities with the company's funds—particulars of reserved shares on hard, and those disposed of; length of miles open, date when opened, and cost per mile; revenue account ; expenses ditto ; dividends, balance, and reserved fund. " Reasonable as it is to insist upon such statements, and easy as it would be to furnish them, we have yet to learn why they should in any instance be withheld. It is noto rious large balances are left in bankers' hands, and the in terest chargeable upon these balances is not sufficiently ex plained. Companies purchase and sell shares, the profit and loss upon which transactions seldom appear in the accounts. For example, the Great Western bold shares in the Oxford, Worces ter, and Wolverhampton, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth, South Devon, and South Wales Railways, all of which are now at a large discount, and many of which the Great Western Company sold in 1845 at a considerable pre mium. The Bristol and Exeter Company at one time hav ing raised more money than was sufficient for their imme diate wants, invested a portion of this temporary surplus in the purchase of their own shares, which were then at a large discount, and which they afterwards resold at a good profit." The Funds have been decidedly better to-day, and the ad vance is % to 1 4 per cent., though with a good deal of fluc tuation. Consuls have realised 87% to 86% for transfer, and 87 3 4 to 1 / 4 for time. Exchequer-bills have been Ss. to Bs. for discount. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 884 to 87 3 / 4 . Bank Stock is worth 188 to 188%. The Foreign Bonds have been neglected again. Mexican are 19 1 / to 20; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57 3 / 4 . Railway Shares still follow in some respect the movement in the Stocks, but are not so susceptible of -the rallying in fluence which has been exerted upon the latter. 13R1T1S11 FUNDS.

H. Holmes, Esq., chemical lecturer to the Aldersgate and Charlotte-street schools of medicine, Fcc. The subject of this first lecture was on the composi tion of plants, which he explained was made up of various chemical substances. These substances he pro posed to take seriatim, and to show that the structure as well as the proper nourishment of plants was dependent on these agents. The distinguishing features of the lecture were how the salts of potassum, sodium, and lime were taken up from the soil in their different forms, pointing out those upon which their mechanical structure was essentially de pendant, in contradistinction to those which were selected for the food of plants, and also how the corr . of the foliage had its origin. e was a great des of new and useful information given in a most simple and ng proceeded, experiu e the n ts. ra : ced too much T f e a n h c g e t s a c g w h in e e g m re ic m d a e a i n ca p n o o e r n r i i t o iF tde o d f as t b h y e thm l e e a c n t ly u ec r t e sut e rr m iekr b i for our limited space, but we would advise th . th ose who are interested in the subject to attend and judge for themselves TYPRUS FEVER .—Typhus fever is very prevalent in Rochdale, partic ularl y amongst the Irish, in the low lodg ing-houses and c ellars about Mount Pleasant, School -lane, and Back Packer Meadows. We have noticed in another paragraph the death of Mr. Barker, surgeon, from this ma lady. Another surgeon has also caught the disease in a similar manner, and lies dangerously ill. At the petty ses sions, on Monday last, Mr. J. Whitehead, relieving officer, said the fever increased every day, and it was almost impos sible to make some of the Irish people clean themselves. On being questioned by the bench, he said the board of guar dians had tried to take land to build something like a fever ward at the outskirts of the town, but they were unable to meet with a place for that purpose; however, they had pro cured lime and whitewash brushes. The number of Irish in creased almost every day, and the fever was alarming in various parts of the town.--Manchester Guardian. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.
