t he emancipation of the present thraldom of the conti ;aental commercial interests, broke up. N. Blanqui made an eloquent speech on the abuses of the custom-houses, which was followed by one from Mr. Ewart, whom I left speaking, the bad ar rangements of the Belgian post-office obliging me to le Ive the hall to post; my letter. lam happy to say that a reform of these postal regulations is shortly to come under discussion. A grand banquet takes place this evening in honour of the members of the Congress. I forgot to mention that among the letters received was one from 11.1 r. Cobden, regretting his absence.—Ckronicle. The following is a translation of Colonel Thomp son's speech, delivered at Brussels on the first day of the Free-trade Congress, September 16, 1847: " Since English speakers appear to be the fashion to day, I, too, must say a few words, but allowa nce must be made for the disadvantages under which I stand. After thanking you for the honour done me in placing me among your vice-presidents, permit me to remark that I think your President began by stating the object of the present meeting to be the discussion of the general principles of the freedom of trade, and that possibly there has been some little digression from that mark. I therefore implore this assembly to consider whether there is not one prin ciple which may be called the key that opens all locks, the passe-partout, on this subject. I must state that I have had no great luck with my principle in England ; for I have laid it before our political economists there and every one of them de clares he can have nothing to do with it. Driven thus to the wall in England, I come to see whether fortune will do more for me in Belgium.—(Cheers.) The point, then, to which I beg to call attention is, whether in all cases, without a possible exception, where any article is bought at more than the natural price, by which I mean being bought at a price that is raised in consequence of some protection, there are not two losses for one gain • and if so, then, as long as one and one make two, I hold that this must make a difference of one. Take, for instance, an omnibus. As you see, gentlemen, I put myself into the posi tion of what is called the Devil's Advocate—(Laugh ter)—l am going to make out a case for the protec tion of hackney-coaches. I shall say, then, ' So you fancy you have done a fine thing by setting up an omnibus that is to carry people for a franc, where the old hackney-coaches took them for a franc and a half. You call that for the good of the country. You have saved half a franc to the traveller, but have not you, at the same time, taken away halt a franc from the hackney-coachman ? - What, then, is the good of it after all ?' This is what a hackney coach-protection man ought to say for himself. But I ask you, is it not plain he has dropped an item out of his account ? This half franc that the traveller saves, what becomes of it ? I never heard of its being thrown into the river. What did the traveller do with it ? He bought anything he liked ; for what I know, he bought tarts and cheese cakes. So that this half franc was laid out on some kind of trade, as effectually as if it had been laid out on hackney-co.-Amen. It appears, then, that as concerns what, e may be called trade, the thing is as broad as it is long. But for the traveller it is not the same thing at all ; for, in one case he gets his tarts and cheese cakes fur his demi-franc, and in the other he gets nothing. I think, gentlemen, that if you will carry forward the application of this principle t 3 the more complicated questions connected with free trade, you will find it bring you to the same conclusion. It mill be needless, therefore, for me to trouble you now with what you readily make out without it. I beg to clofe entirely with the assertion of a preceding speaker, that Englishmen eat a great deal when they can get it. Admire the wonderful ways of nature. What were these great eaters made for but to be first and foremost in the battle for free trade? What better motive can be given than to say to the Englishman, Move forward, or you get no dinner.' Most especially when the man has got an appetite for three. Gentlemen, if other na tions had seen, as has been seen in England, the probability of getting no dinner at all, they would have thought as we do on the necessity of getting rid of prohibitions on trade. One word that has been heard I must make an observation on. Somebody spoke of Bonaparte. The next time, might I beg that he would say the Emperor ?—(Long continued cheer ing.) Is it the fact that he was Emperor or not ? Do not deprive the old soldiers who have looked his armies in the face of the honour of saying they have fought against the Emperor. Above all things, I beg you to believe that the English Free-traders are not men of the old order of things, but are eager to ac knowledge greatness under all forms, and to prcve themselves the friends of progress everywhere. Be lieving, gentlemen, that this feeling is common to us all, I cannot but hope that your proceedings here will end in good to all the countries whose repre sentatives we see." THE LATE FAILURES. The following is the statement of affairs of Messrs. W. and J. Woodley, whose suspension took place on the 27th ult. It will be observed that the assets fall short of the liabilities to the extent only of 9,0001., and we may add that the wheat held has been esti mated at 455., while it would now fetch 48s. to 505., and the flour at 235., which is now at 275. to 285. Under these circumstances there is every prospect that the expectations of the creditors to escape without loss will very , nearly be borne out. It was hoped, however, at the time of suspension, that a surplus would remain to Mr. Woodley of 15,000/. : STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS. DEBTOR. To sundry creditors, un secured ... ... ... ...

The aggregate of their debts to depositors by whom the security is held of bills of exchange, is 505,0001., while their debts to parties who are wholly uncovered amount to about 150,0001. It is understood that a first dividend of Is. in the pound has been declared by the inspectors of the estate of Harman and Co. The Russian Government on their debt of 414,0001. will thus receive rather more than 20,0001. Considerable assets still re main for di s t r ib ut i on, which may ultimately swell the gross dividend to between 3s. and 4s. in the pound. MAD _LLE. DELUZY.—The examination into the case against Madlle. Deluzy is being actively proceeded with. Several witnesses who were not examined by the Chan cellor and Examining Committee of the Court of Peers, have appeared before the examining magistrate, and gave their testimony on Wednesday and Th urs d ay. In a new interrogatory, lasting more than fi ve h ours, Madlle. Deluzy continued, it is said, to protest her innocence with energy. By permission of the superior authorities a letter has just been remitted to her, written by one of the young ladies whom she educated in England, and who, having learned by public report the situation of her former governess, determined to give her a mark of attachment and sympathy. Madlle. Deluzy pa sse d a part of the night in writing a long reply. SHAKSPRARE'S HOUSE.—By the purchase of this house for the amount of 3,000/., the united committees of Stratford and London have exceeded the sum al ready in band by about 2,000/., but so completely_ have they repr esen t e d t h e nat i onal f ee li ng b y t h e zea l they have shown in preserving the birth place of Shalcspeare for the country of his glories, that there is no doubt the public will come forward and supply the deficiency. Many persons have held back their subscriptions on the supposition that a large sum raised before the comple Lion of the purchase would increase the expectation of the owners, and render the property more difficult to obtain,' but now the amount is actually known that ob jection is removed. Perhaps the theatrical managers of the United Kingdom may take the opportunity of tes tifyicg their respect to Shilkspeare's memory, and as sisting those by whose spirit and energy one of the most interesting monuments in the country has been pre served. BODIES FOUND IN THE RIVER.—On Saturday two bodies were found in the river. The one is supposed to be that of one of the sufferers by the explosion of the Cricket, and the other that of a man who flung himself from the Dublin steamer into the river. NOW READY, lIVES OF THE Q UEENS. VOL. X. J By AGNES STRICKLAND. " There is certainly no lady of our day who has devoted her pm to so beneficial a purpose as Miss Strickland. Nor is there any other work possessing a deeper or more enduring interest. The tenth vo lume treats of Mary Beatrice of Modena, the unfortunate Queen an .1 widow of James IL, and Mary 11., daughter of the same ill-starred Monarch, and afterwards wife of William 111.

The Arch. duke afterwards set off to make a tour through dif. ferent parts of the kingdom. A letter from Rome of the Bth says— " Letters have been received from Ferrara, which state that the Austrians have become less exasperat ing. They, however, are still in occupation of the town, and send out numerous patrols every night, and are preparing for themselves convenient winter quarters ; the commandant of the garrison has or dered sentry-boxes to be made, which looks like as if they were determined to remain. A sanguinary con flict has taken place between the Tyrolians and Hun garians in the Austrian service at Ferrara—the first taking the part of the Pope, and 'the second defend ing the Emperor. Several were killed, and two Ty rolians and one Hungarian have since been tried by a court-martial, and condemned to death. They were hanged by means of a hook forced through the neck, entering at the throat and coming out at the back. The garriscn has received no reinforcements; and sickness, as a natural consequence of the season and place, has made great progress among the men. In telligence has been received here of the arrival of a French Government steamer at Civita Vecchia, which is placed at the orders of M. Rossi." Letters from Milan of the 13th state that tran quillity is entirely re-established in that city. A grand manifestation took place on the Bth at Genoa. A numerous crowd promenaded the streets in the evening, shouting "Long live Plus IX." "Long live CHARLES ALBERT !" "Italian indepen dence for ever !" The cry of " The Civic Guard for ever!" which had not been heard on the previous evening, was frequently uttered. The crowd, which was conducted by the Marquis GEORGE DORIA, was composed of about 2,000 persons. The quarter of Portoria was illuminated; it was that quarter which, in 1746, gave the signal of the great insurrection against the Austrians. The authorities, who remained quiet spectators of the demonstration on the previous evening, called out on the 9th all the unoccupied portion of the garrison. The royal palace was closed, detachments of infantry were stationed in the public places, and strong patrols of cavalary traversed the streets. At about ten o'clOck one of these patrols stopped the group, in the midst of whom was the I flag , and a corporal armed with a pistol ordered the hearer to lower it, which he immediately did. The crowd then dispersed without resistance and without murmurs. In the morning of the 10th a proclama tion of the syndics, who are the chiefs of the munici pality, was posted up. The Holy Father is spoken of in it in the most approving terms, but at the sam time order and tranquillity are recommended, and the Genoese are invited to show thereby their attachment to the Government. This publication produced a good effect, and the city was tranquil in the evening. It was, however, feared that the agitation would re commence on the following Sunday. It was stated that persons, who observed great secresy, invited the Genoese to wear the Roman colours. Thousands of cockades were sold, and it was announced that even the women had taken the colours of Italian indepen dence. At Florence the enthusiasm is still on the increase. At the theatre, in the streets, in public places, day and night political manifestations are being made. Hurras were frequently given in honour of the men who are the most known for their pa triotism. The coffee-houses, which have become veritable clubs, have exchanged their names for others that are more popular ; and this people, which for so long a time has been separated from political life, hastens to enjoy liberty. An enormous sum had been withdrawn from the Savings' Bank—there was, in fact, a veritable panic. We read in the Patria, that, in order to stop this movement, which might have had deplorable consequences, the Grand Duke has had the excellent idea of depositing a large sum in the bank under his own name. It is henceforth the Civic Guard which will alone have the mission of watching over the tranquillity of the country, and its first essay presages for it a fine career. It is stated that the Grand Duke has just nominated the Here ditary Prince Generalissimo of the National Guard, This Prince was born in 1835, and is consequently only twelve years of age. A letter from Genoa of the 13th says— " Tile second popular fete, to celebrate which with enthusiam every one had made preparations, has been suspended by order of the Government. We know not to what we are to attribute this decision of the Governor, inasmuch as it is greatly in contrast with the tolerance we have been enjoyin g , and still more so with the permission granted by the authorities to print and sell publicly patriotic hymns breathing sen timents most strongly in favour of Italian indepen dence, and containing the most energetic threats against the Austrians. A performance of one of these hymns with music was being got up, with the knowledge and assent of the Government." The following decree was posted up at Turin, on the 14th:— Whereas in some provinces of the Sardinian States the people, desirous of expressing their affec- tion and devotedness to their august father and sove reign, have displayed banners different from the national one, and tassels, ribands and cockades of dif ferent colours; and it being the precise intention of his Majesty that on every occasion the national banner and cockade be the only one used, that having been borne with honour by the Piedmontese eight hund re d p y r e o a h r i s b a it n e d d. , t LAZAR', Inspector. Ge nera l o f Police. more, any other banner or coc k a d e i s h ere b y " Turin, Sept. 13." A similar decree was passed at Genoa by the mili tary Governor on the 12th. A letter from Naples, dated September 9, says— " The festival of Piedigrotto yesterday went off ex cellently. A great number of troops were on foot during the day. Above 3,000 men were sent last week to Sicily and Calabria. All here is perfectly quiet, and we are now under no apprehension. Advices from Parma of the 6th announce the arrival there of General RADETZKY, the Austrian General. Commandant SALIS immediately waited upon him, and had a long interview. The General's presence at Parma appears to be occasioned by th e s t ate o f a ff a i rs in Italy. Madrid journals of the 12th and 13th have ar rived. The Duke DE FRIAS having definitively declined to join the Cabinet, Senor GOTENA, the Minister of Jus tice, has been appointed President of th• Council. The Ministry, which is now complete, is thus consti tuted :—GOYENA, President of the Council and Mi nister of Justice; SALAMANCA, Finance; DE L'ES , COMMA, Interior; CORDOVA, War; Ros DE OLANO, Instruction and Commerce; CORTAZAR, Foreign Affairs ; and SoTELo, Marine. Letters from Catalonia contain accounts of several engagements at different places between Montemo linist bands and the QUEEN'S troops, in all of which the latter are represented to have been vic torious. General CONCHA, the new Captain-General of Catalonia, reached Barcelona on the 12th by the steam frigate Blasco de Garay. He left Valencia on the morning of the 11th. The cause of the dismissal of his predecessor, General PAVIA, was his strong bias in favour of his old patron NARVAEZ. His letters to the late War Minister were full of politics, and those so diametrically opposed to the law of policy of the new Ministry that his recal was one of the first things decided on. The reinforce ments which have been promised, and are to be sent immediately, are to consist of 21 battalions of infantry and 500 horse. These will amount to at least 10,000 men, and will make the army of occupation of the Principality amount to about 40,000 men. It was said that NARVAEZ, who had ordered apart ments to be prepared for him at Bayonne, had written to say that he should have no occasion for them at present. MADRID BOLBA, SErT. 13.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 1-16 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 16!; the Five per Cents. at 17k; the Debt with out Interest at 5i ; and the Coupons at 14. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Monileur publishes the following royal ordi nance : "My most dear and beloved son, the Duke D'AumAr.r, is appointed Governor-General of Algeria, in the room of the Marshal Duke of IsLv, whose re. signation is accepted. Our Minister Secretary of State of the Department of 'War is charged with the execution of the present ordinance. " Given at St. Cloud, on the 11th of September, 847. (Signed) " LOUIS PHILIPPE." In commenting on this appointment the Consti tutionnel says— " An stet like this is quite new in the constitutional history of France. The Restoration attempted no thing of the kind, and we look in vain to England for any similar nomination since 1688. We have ss en on both sides of the Channel military commands both by sea and by land given to princes, but this is the first example of a Prince taking a direct part in the Government. Let it be here remarked, that there is no question in the present case of commanding an expedition decided on and ordered by a responsible Minister to execute the decisions of another ; it is to direct at a distance of 200 leagues from France the destinies of a colony as large as a kingdom , it re gards a position in which it will be constantly neces sary to take the initiative in questions of the most grave and varied character, both civil, administrative, and military. It is, therefore, a real ministerial de partment; and what would appear to us a dangerous innovation at Paris does not seem to us less perilous at Algiers. Constitutional questions do not change their character by a change of place. Will the responsibility be real and efficacious when it is a Prince who is invested with these delicate functions ? SVc cannot dissemble the fact that we have doubts on the subject. It has been frequently sai 1 that Marshal Bugeaud held the Ministry in check; two lines in the Moniteur however, were sufficient to put an end to the conflict; the rejection of some of the Marshal's plans was enough to indace him to retire. We fear that there will be some difficulty in objecting to plans proposed by a Prince, and that in case of any dispute arising there would not be found many Ministers who would be disposed to exact an ordonnance of recal. There is, therefore, a grave constitutional question to be examined ; there is at the same time a question of opportuneness. There is no one but must be aware of the precarious situation in which our African colony is just now placed. Algeria has not yet recovered from the financial crisis which compro mised the coloOzation which had been commenced, and military.affairs take an alarming turn. Consi derable, reinfosOements are demanded; an intervention in Morblehp - Mlears necessary to the officers who are on the, spot,, , , ;Difficulties of . every kind then attend the 44ftt.betife young Governor-General. We can not preVeiri ourselves feeling a lively anxiety for the distinguished young Prince, who, since he left college sik years 'Since, has already known how to acquire some atle-to : public esteem, and who is now prema turely ief forth to meet most formidable difficulties. jt,Wßl:he necessary for him, at the age of Pitt, to display those qualities of the head and of the he a rt `which in, a few years destroyed the existence of that most extraordinary man, or to compromise the good re nown which he might have acquired by rendering, on a less extensive sphere of action, useful services to his country." The Presse considers this nomination a fault which will not put an end to existing difficulties, and will create new ones, while the National gives ut terance to the opinions of the Republican party in the following terms : " The dynasty has then accomplished one of its most fondly cherished enterprises. One of its mem bers is placed on a throne, raised at the expense of France. Between the title of Governor-General and that of Viceroy there is but a step, and truly we do not see why they should not at a bound have cleared the small space which separates the two dignities. As Governor or as Viceroy, the Duke d'Aumale will not less reign sovereign over French Africa; the dif ference will only exist in the ticket affixed to the parcel. This useless piece of hypocrisy might as well have been spared, and things have at once been called by their proper name. Since this unfortunate Algeria has been submitted to our domination it has been the object of experiments of all kinds ; at first a purely military regime was tried—then it was the time of civil intendants and conflicts of authority— and then the regime of the sabre was returned to, and Marshal Clauzel carried on, for good or for evil, his work of conquering, which was continued obscurely by General Damremont, and without much eclat by Marshal Valee. A new plan was attempted under the reign of M. Bu geaud ; a complete civil administration was installed in Algeria, and the duties of each clearly pointed out. No*, after two years of wretched hesitation, the colony is gratified by a new organization, and the plan of a totally responsible governor is tried. If Algeria supports all these experiments in anima viii, it must be allowed that it possesses a rude temperament. If Marshal Bugeaud was a pacha, what will the Duke d'Aumale be ? If the Ministry was obliged to hum ble itself before the hero of Kabylia, will it not com pletely disappear) before a Prince ? That is indubi table and necessary. And what independence will the Chamber assume towards a member of the family of Louis Philippe? Suppose the Duke d'Aumale should present a new edition of the project of military colonization, which failed in the hands of Marshal Bugeaud, is it to be imagined that there will be found in that Parliamentary assembly, so devotedly dynastic, a majority who would dare to refuse to his Royal Highness what it would not grant to its predecessor ? But all this does not require demonstration, and may as well be put down as simple axioms ; for the con sequences of the nomination of the Duke d'Aumale, as far as regards responsibility, are mere clear than the sun at noonday." The new Governor. General will find his office no sinecure. The French Government has, it is said, received information of the continued and triumphant - progress of ABD•EL-KADEIt in Morocco, which it keeps a secret, as far as possible, from the French public. The National says— " General Bedeau has positively sent by telegraph to the Ministry the news of the entry of Abd-el- Kader into the town of Taza, in Morocco, at the head of 1,500 regular cavalry, 1,000 infantry, and about 2,000 horsemen of the goum. In transmitting to the Government the announcement of this fact, the Governor-General ad interim has solicited authority to interfere immediately between the Emir and the Emperor. Measures are already taken to secure the tranquillity of the interior of Algeria. Troops are concentrated on the principal points, and the batta lions which had been detached in different parts to work on the roads have rejoined their garrisons. The division of Oran has been reinforced, and a part of that of Algiers is ready to be carried at a moment's notice to the western frontier. Everything is, there fore, prepared for entering Morocco, and General Bedeau demands immediate intervention. Our statesmen, however, are so well aware of their own weakness that they tremble at the idea of a conflict, in which England would not, perhaps, long delay to interfere. To intervene in Morocco, to pass for a second time the f ron ti er o f our African possessions, is quite a diplomatic ques • tion, and who knows whether Lord Palmerston would now permit what Lord Aberdeen authorised with such a bad grace in 1844 ? Our Ministers, then, tremble at the sole mention of the names of Abd-el- Kader and of his rival. The dispatch of General Bedeau has therefore been received with visible ill humour. The solution of the question is postponed, according to the custom of cowards. Poor creatures! It was not enough that they should have from Italy, from Switzerland, from Spain, and at home so many threatening and formidable affairs, but a mischievous Marabout must come and add to the unfortunate em barrassment of our governors by an audacious coup de tile. Events, however, will conquer the hesitations of M. Guizot and of his worthy colleagues. We shall be led on to intervene, in spite of their repugnance, and by the force of circumstances alone. Indecision is, therefore, useless, and we shall, by ad o pti ng suc h a course, be under the necessity of pursuing the Emir into the very heart of Morocco, instead of crushing him in the neighbourhood of our frontier, as we might now easily do." It is said that the Marquis of NORMA.NBY not only communicated to M. GUIZOT on Thursday a dispatch from Lord PALMERSTON to Lord PONSONDY, the British Ambassador at Vienna, declaring that Great Britain would suffer no attack upon the indepen dence of Italy, but that he renewed the protest of England against the continued occupation of Algeria by France. This renewal of the protest was pro bably preparatory to a declaration against any French intervention in Morocco. The National, which is generally well informed in foreign affairs, gives the following as the substance of the note presented by the Marquis of NORMANDY, on Austrian affairs : "If we are correctly informed the Marquis of Normanby handed to M. Guizot on Thursday a diplomatic note from his Government relative to the affairs of Italy. It appears that England declares in her quality of a constitutional power that she cannot admit the intervention of Austria with the indepen dent states of Italy. Europe is interested in pre venting one first-rate power from pressing on a vast confederated territory. The Austrian possessions are limited by treaty, and it would be a consent to a compromising extent of power to admit the right of the Cabinet of Vienna to make use of an armed force in order to retain under her üb jection sovereign states whose internal constitu tion has been modified by the course of events. The objection of that which was done in Portugal by England herself naturally presents itself to the mind. The British Cabinet, however, replies to that objection by pretending that the three Powers bound by precedents interfered solely to terminate a civil war, and that nothing similar exists either at Modena or Lucca or in Tuscany, or in the Roman States, but that, on the contrary, a perfect conformity of sentiment exists between the Government and the population ; and that if in one of the smallest states, as in Lucca, the chief of the Government appeared to be opposed to the wishes of his subjects, there is nothing in his conduct which c authorise an appeal to foreign force. Englandfaithful to the . ideas which had at another period course of conduct been cherished in France, and which had induced the pursued by those two Powers with respect to Spain and Portugal, considers it to be her duty to cause the principle of the sovereignty of nations and of the independence of states to be respected. This is what has been stated to us with respect to that com munication, but which we do not guarantee. If it be such as we have stated, it explains the report so widely circulated, that, if Austria makes a movement on Central Italy, a British fleet has received orders to enter the waters of Trieste and of Venice." The Commerce says, that a rumour prevailed on Friday that Austria had notified to the Powers her determination to interfere in the Duchies of Parma and Lucca and in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. General WALMODEN is to execute that project of in tervention, with the Austrian troops now marching towards Italy. The forces under the command of that general will simultaneously enter Central Italy on two points. One column will cross the Po on the side of Placentia, and the other near Mantua. The first will occupy Parma, and, by the Pontremoli road, advance to Lucca; the second hill traverse Modena, enter Tuscany on the side of Pistoja, and occupy Florence and Leghorn. The Court of Vienna, more over, in order to ensure the success of its designs, takes good care to renew its declarations in favour of the independence of the Holy See. Austria does not mean to menace the Boman States. The illonitque publishes a decree of amnesty for all persons engaged in the corn riots last winter. The appointment of the Duke D'AUM .LE to Algeria has given great umbrage to the army generally, and in order to conciliate the officers a royal ordonnance has been signed at the Tuileries, but without a date, creating Lieutenant-General REILLE, the son-in-law of MASSENA, to be Marshal of France in the place of Marshal OUDINOT, and the General of Engineers, DODE DE LA BRUNERIE, to be a Marshal in place of Marshal GROUCHY. By another ordonnance General CIIANGARNIER is appointed to the command of the division in Algiers in place of Gene ral DE BAR, who is to command at Nantes. It was agreed by the remaining members of the Cabinet that Marshal SOULT should assume the Government of the invalids, in order to give the Presidency of the Coun cil to M. GUIZOT. In fine, 'Marshal BUGEAUD has been offered the command of the expedition to Mo rocco, in case such an expedition should be under taken. The affairs of Spain continue to give great uneasiness to the French Government. It was stated in Paris that NARVAEZ had succeeded in corrupting the army, and would in one week be proclaimed Dictator of Spain, in which case it is not improbable that a Carlist out break on an extensive scale would take place, and with every prospect of success. The Union ilio narchique says that Louis PHILIPPE wished to assemble an army of 80,000 men at the foot of the Pyrenees, but that in consequence of the crippled state of the finances 40,000 men only would be assembled. The Journal des Debats of Saturday gives the fol lowing explanation of its recent silence on the subject of the affairs of Spain : " We feel great repugnance to mix ourselves up with the discussions which the journals of the Oppo sition have for some time carried on with respect to the affairs of Spain. The sort of polemics to which the Spanish Ministry has thought it right to put an end by ordinances, seems to us as if it ought above all to have been interdicted by the laws of decency, and of the most ordinary good taste ; and it appears to us that, in insults of such a nature, to take them► up and reply to them would be a new offence. We regret that this sentiment of reserve on our part is not sufficiently understood in Madrid. We re ceive letters from that capital, in which astonish ment is expressed at seeing articles of the journals of Paris, in which the Queen is grossly insulted, and in which the throne of Spain is declared vacant and put up to auction, pass without reply. The truth is, we estimate the value of these diatribes by the effect they produce here. In France they pass almost unperceived; but it appears that in Spain people think fit to allow themselves to be affected by them, and to consider them as serious. We should lose our time and trouble if we sought to persuade the journals of the Opposition that they sacrifice the interests of their country to those of their passions, and that by such abuses of writing they only serve a foreign cause. Such a consideration would no doubt affect them very little. All, then, that we can do is to tell the Spaniards that their susceptibility is very ill placed, and that they would do better to attach no more importance to these turgid declamations than we ourselves have done, and than we shall continue to do." M. EYNARD has, it seems, reconsidered the sub ject of his Bill for the quarter's instalment on the loan due from Greece to England, and has determined to pay the money. He has addressed a long letter to the Presse on the subject, in which he states, that "Not having received any answer to his former communication to Lord Palmerston, had respectfully repeated his representations to that Minister, who at last authorised Lord Normanby to enter into com munication with him. In an interview which - took place M. Eynard stated that his intention was always to pay the sum which he had offered, but that he had thought himself entitled to profit by his position to represent to England the propriety and justice of showing more moderation towards Greece. At the same interview, M. Eynard communicated to his Lordship a letter, which he had addressed to M. Co • letti on August 30. In this latter communication M, Eynard says:— "As soon as I heard from you that Sir E. Lyons had insisted on demanding payment of the 500,000 f. I immediately made arrangements to provide the funds necessary to meet the bill. Whatever sacri fices it was necessary for me to make, considering, the scarcity of money at present, and the depreciation of all kinds of securities, the funds were procured. Therefore, in case Sir E. Lyons should say to you— ' M. Eynard has not honoured the draft,' reply firmly M. Eynard will pay when it becomes due, we are perfectly certain. He has acted as he ought to do in saying that the money was ready before it was due ; but, in his lively interest for Greece, he demanded from England a straightforward explanation as to the intentions of the English Government relative to th half-year falling due in September.' " M. EYNARD, in the same communication to M. COLETTI, expresses himself thus with respect to the administration of the revenues of Greece : " Now let us come to that which is most important for Greece. Your financial administration must absolutely be organized with greater regularity ; and France, who has always been so kind and generous, will be forced to insist upon this, for she cannot resist the observations of the two other Powers, and I myself, who am so sincerely attached to your country, cannot allow that your public revenue should diminish every year, whilst the country has made a positive progress, and whilst your agriculture and home and foreign commerce have been prosperous in every way. It is, therefore, evident that there have been abuses and disorder of all kinds, which you ought absolutely to put a stop to. You cannot hope to obtain the adoption of y our plan for the sale of the national property, unless in the first years you bind yourselves to give at least 500,000 drachmas every six months. If you restore order in your finances you may easily make these payments, with out injury to the prosperity of your country." N. EYNARD, in the letter to the French journals, complains bitterly of the manner in which his conduct has been commented on in some of the London journals, and then says : " I now declare that, after having up to the present time used vain efforts to plead the cause of Greece with the English Ministry, I have to-day authorised my bankers, MM. G. Odier and Co., to pay, en the 20th September, the draft of 500,000 f. to the order of the English Government." A Reform banquet took place at Cernay, at which the KING'S health was proposed in these words : " The KING of the FRENCH, to whom France con fided, seventeen years ago, the guardianship of her destinies and glory. May he soon respond to our long expectation." The toast was received with cries for the " Marseillaise." " It is stated," says the Courricr Francais," that a division of three Austrian men of war has quitted Trieste to cruise in the Adriatic. On the 7th these vessels were in sight of Ancona. They remained there several hours in observation, and then continued their course towards the Gulf of Tarento." The Persian Ambassador arrived in Paris on Friday.

Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the causes of the present disturbed state of the money market, the want of confidence that is apparent on every side, and the financial difficulties consequent thereon experienced by persons of every class, trade, and calling, there can be no doubt whatever of the melancholy truth. Each day brings accounts of the failure of houses that formerly enjoyed the highest characters, and against whose solvency it would have been considered a wanton and audacious calumny to breathe the slightest doubt or suspicion. Within the last few weeks we have witnessed the suspension of payment by houses, in one of which the then Gover nor of the Bank of England was a partner, and in two others directors of the Bank (one a former Go vernor) were concerned. Painful and melancholy as it is to witness such occurrences, the general opi nion appears to be that we have not yet arrived at the worst, and the most gloomy forebodings are indulged in as to the future prospects of the coun try. It is no longer a matter of astonishment that houses of the first respectability should have fallen. Who can stand ? has become the question. Credit is essential in a commercial country, and whenever that credit is withheld, and money cannot be obtained at a fair and reasonable rate of interest to carry on the usual operations of the country, the results must be of the most painful description. There must be a gene ral suspension of trade, a stoppage of manufacture of every kind, thousands must be thrown out of em ployment, and plunged, from comparative comfort and independence, into the deepest poverty and dis tress. Such is the natural and immediate conse quence of money becoming too dear and attaining a value beyond that which legitimately belongs to it. A few days since we had occasion to remark on the resolutions of the delegates of the operative cotton spinners in Lancashire and the adjoining counties, calling upon the mill-owners to stop the working of their factories for a certain period—the operatives desiring that the cessation of employment, which they are too well aware has become inevitable, should take place during a season of comparative cheapness and plenty, and when there would be some prospect of obtaining some other description of employment ; those humble men, with a degree of foresight and providence for which they are entitled to the greatest credit, being willing to encounter a certain present evil, in order that a more formidable calamity in futuro may be averted. They have ascribed the depressed state of the mauufacturing interests to the inadequate supply of raw cotton, and the extraordinary high prices demanded for that which is in the market, but although that is undoubtedly one of the causes of the present untoward state of affairs, and the unpleasant position of the mill owners—and its removal is essential to the main tenance, we fear we should rather say the restoration, of England's commercial supremacy and prosperity, there is another less apparent, but no less certain cause, viz., the high price of money which robs the producer and creator of national wealth of his fair and reasonable profits, in order that the capitalist may increase his fortune, and receive twenty or thirty per cent. for the use of his money. As there has been a demand for a general cessation of factory labour until matters shall have obtained a more favourable position, so there has been a circular issued by the Committee of the Liverpool Stock Exchange as to the extraordinary depreciation of railway property within the last two years, which has been seriously aggravated by the enormous sums that have been obtained from the shareholders and the public, and are still sought to be raised by calls and loans ; they—expressing the wishes of their customers, and of all parties interested —suggest a general stop page of works, and that the completion of the sanc tioned - lines, and of the extensions of the existing companies, should he postponed until a more propi tious season. It is the same cause which renders suc h an appeal necessary—the unusualscarcityanhdowdeevaerr ness of money, that renders any speculation, ample the return may be, sure to turn out unfavourably the to these by whom it was projected and carried out, entire gain and profit being absorbed by those who have afforded temporary accommodation, by the ad vance of money. A larger and more comprehensive view was taken at the important meeting, which was held on Sa turday at Newcastle-on-Tyne, of coal-owners, mer chants, manufacturers, ship-owners, and others inte rested in trade and commerce, of the real source and origin of all these mischiefs. They went boldly to the seat of the disease, and, instead of administering the palliati ves th a t m i g h t b e of temporary service, but still would leave the fatal taint in the system to break out again a n d aga i n w i th increased force on each occasion, they suggeste d remedies by which a radical cure might be effected, and matters restored to a healthy state. The resolutions unanimously adopted by the meeting state the apprehensions with which they view the present deranged state of the monetary affairs of the country, and the embarrassin g and injurious con sequences which must inevitably result from any lengthened continuance of the existing pressure on the whole trade of the empire. They then state that all classes are suffering from the present unprecedentedly high rate in the value of money, and the extreme difficulty of obtain ing it for all purposes of legitimate commerce and manufacture, and that they are apprehensive that a continuance of the present pressure must lead to a serious restriction of th, power of the mercantile, mining, and manufacturing community to continue the employment of the vast numbers of men under their control, and they request the Chamber of Commerce to communicate with the several Chambers of Commerce in other towns of the kingdom, to ascertain their views as to measures to be adopted for the general relief of the mercantile interests. In the meantime they have appointed a deputation to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, " to represent to him the importance of the subject, and to pray the Govern ment to take the present banking enactments into consideration with a view to the relaxation of the same." This is the true course to adopt ; and if that and:similar deputations should be armed with documents expres sive of the general feeling of the merchants and traders in the several districts as to the fatal conse quences of these measures, an effect must be produced upon the Ministry which will lead to the speedy re vision of the obnoxious and injurious provisions of these statutes. Austria, by snatching at the shadow of danger in Ferrara, has perilled the substance of allegiance in Venetian Lombardy. 2Esor is illustrated afresh. Cupidity and the greed of power have so darkened the judgment of METTERNICH as to jeopardize by one rash movement the obedience of the Italian provinces awarded to the predecessor of his Imperial Master by the Treaty of 1815. It is specious enough to maintain that the Government of Vienna is entitled to the confidence of the Lombardo-Venetians, be cause they are permitted to prosper under the bene ficent dispensations of the Code Napoleon—because causeways have been constructed at Ampezzo, Fun stumuntz, and elsewhere—because the mallet throbs perpetually against the marble walls of the Millanese cathedral—because certain canals are dug in Berga masco, and certain bridges spanned across the " trot ting burnies " of Friuli. To adduce these things as arguments for the continued subjection of the northern population of Italy, would be to show the gilding on the chains, or; the arabesques woven upon the robes of slavery. Those, moreover, who insist that the position of these portions of the Italian family is rather enviable than otherwise, seeing that their criminals are dealt with according to the system de veloped in the Code of the Emperor NAPOLEON, are either ignorant of those judicial proceedings in the Lombardo-Venitian territories, which have reflected such odium upon the supreme tribunals of Vienna, or are wilfully distorting the revelations of the last thirty summers. It would require neither the lamentations of PELLICO nor the impassioned appeals of GIOBEILTI to persuade the dispassionate observer that the sys tem of criminal jurisprudence enforced throughout the unfortunate districts south of Carinthia, the Tyrol, and the Grisons, is opposed to all the natural rights of man, and contrary to the average forbearance of the most despotic conqueror. That the Code Napoleon is not preserved to the Lom bardo-Venetians in its entirety is notorious through out Christendom. That the works of utility and decoration undertaken by Austria, and executed by its Italian subjects, are merely like the jewels hung from the ear-tips, and the gold coin braided among the tresses of a concubine, is recognised by every man not blind to the blessedness of national independence. Sismosoi, were he writing the history of his fatherland, from the period which closes his immortal narrative, to the demise of the Sixteenth GREGORY, or to the protest issued by Ciaccur, the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara, would assuredly have to delineate the patience, and the anguish, and the aspirations, and the valour, and the patriotism which agitated and strengthened the resolves of a people groaning under a confederated despotism. He would have to record the latent eagerness with which the millions of that most historic peninsula tarried for the opportunity which was to arrive for their emancipation. For thirty years, he would say, the Italian people listened for the tocsin which was to be the knell of their thraldom ; for thirty years they awaited the sound of that heroic voice which was to summon them to the acquisition of their liberty ; for thirty years they re mained in uncertainty as to the quarter from which that signal should emanate. Was the sound to re verberate from Valtellina or Calabria, from the towers of Mantua or the halls of Florence, from Cherasco or from Turin, from Bologna or from Leg horn ? For thirty years this people pined for the advent of their liberation ; for thirty years they con tinued solicitous for the voice which seemed to be eternally hushed—the voice which was to de- stroy the spell of the Gorgon of Despotism, which was to free the millions of Italy from that stagnor and rigidity into which they had been frozen by the Medusa of Vienna. At length the tocsin sounded, and it sounded from the chambers of the Vatican ! The stronghold of absolutism was conquered. The sceptre which had for centuries been the talisman of European tyranny was to break open the dungeons of Italian patriots. The banner of the people was unfurled upon the battlements of St. Angelo. A new PERSEUS appeared in Rome, and, by raising the polished buckler of the Press, and by reflecting back upon the Austrian Medusa the horrors of the Gorgon of Despotism, was destined to relieve the princi palities of the Peninsula from the bondage of the KAISER. It was no longer a conventional conspi racy; it was no longer a merely local revolt of slaves at the bidding of a younger SPARTACUS-it was the assumption of their natural rights by a whole people at the summons of their Sovereign. Scarcely had these extraordinary occurrences transpired than the Government of Austria endeavoured to elevate again that image of authority before which the Italians had hi therto bowed the head and bent the knee, but which was already toppled from its pedestal and ignominiously trampled in the dust. As Pius IX. was the author of this sublime revolution, it was immediately against the Papal territories that the sol - diers of FERDINAND were marched. Ferrara was occu pied, and what was the consequence? The consequence of that proceeding was a brilliant testimony of the far-seeing wisdom which, with all its inferential atrocity, is discoverable in the Prince of Machia velli. All who are familiar with the treatise of the great Florentine historian will remember that he remarks " it is good for a newly-crowned Sovereign to have enemies." For, continues the astute philosopher, the peril evokes the affection and confirms the enthusiasm of his people. Pius IX. has been assailed almost immediately upon his coronation and it will not assuredly be denied that the occupa tion of Ferrara by the troopers of METTERNICH has marvellously confirmed the enthusiasm of those popular affections which had been already evoked by the clemency of the Sovereign PONTIFF. Perilous as the position of Italy is, when its mill tary forces are contrasted with those of the Austrian empire, it is a consolation to reflect that the enemy, with all its numerical and scientific pre ponderance, is in a state of deplorable decrepi tude. Its decrepitude can never withstand the awakened vigour of a race struggling to redeem its i am o s d air e se p h e nbs forces anticipated —one dience,an in dto two avenge the wrongs of a dastardly W and tyrannous ru l e .

Exertions yet more strenuous ma y be made not merely against the territories of Pope Pius and of the Grand Duke LEopoLD, but also against those of King CHARLES ALBERT, th e liberal Monarch of Sar dinia.

REGISTRATIONS -(THIS DA CITY OF LONDON. (Before Mr. T. Y. M'CnnisTre). RULES AS TO COSTS IN CASES OF OBJECTIONS. -- " At the commencement of the sittings of the court this day Mr. M`CHRISTIE said that he wished to call the attention of the agents and parties present to the provisions of the Registration Act as to costs in cer tain cases, and laid down the course which it was his intention to pursue. The Learned Gentleman there referred to the several clauses of 6th of Vic., c. for regulating the proceedings in cases of objections to the names of freemen and liverymen, to appear on the list of voters, and then proceeded to refer to the 40th section of the Act, which stated " that if in any case it shall appear to any Revising Barrister holding any court as aforesaid, that any person shall under this Act have made, or attempted to sustains an° groundless, or frivolous, or vexatious claim or objec tion, or title to have any name inserted or retained id their list of voters, it shall be lawful for the barrister' in his discretion to make such order as he shall think fit for the payment by such person of the costs or any part of the cost of any person, resisting such claim, or objectien• or title." Then it is provided that such cots shall not exceed 205., and it is also provided that wherever any Revising Barrister shall have made anY such :order for the payment of any sum of money for costs by any person who shall have made anY objection as aforesaid, it shall not be lawful for the o ther said Barrister to hear or admit proof o f an Y objection, or notice of objection, made or signed by the said person until the sum of money so ordered to be paid by him for costs be paid." The reason. the Learned Gentleman said, he had now taken the liberty of bringing the notice of these sections it! detail to their attention was because h e had found that with respect to the gene ral rule as to cos ts which he had laid down on Friday morning, that rule Wt . is considered to be one of importance, and because, 111 a faithful report made to the p u blic, w hich he had s een, of what had passed on the o cc asion, t h ere was a slight mistake—slight, as to the report, but of great impor tance as affecting his practice, and wh ich mi g ht lead to inconvenience. It was more than probable that he himself was to blame for the misapprehension ret alluded to, and in consequence perhaps of the do. way in which he had announced his view. The u!: cussion had arisen upon the question of how ground, less objections were to be dealt with as required costs, and he confessed he had great difficultyul. laying down anything like a general rex! upon the subject, but he had felt it absolutely ne a : . sary to do so, because, from what he had seen u hered t o in ourt, there could be no doubt that .the number of utterly groundless notices of objectr.s._ which had been given to names retained on avertedl t 9 was enormous. The report to which he had ai stated that he had said the general rule on which . 13 should act, with regard to the objections, vvas that n il " should require the objections to be gone into, e,u_ that, if they proved to be groundless or vexatious, ono_ should impose costs. But what he either stated, intended to stated, as his rule, so far as it could nes called a rule, was, first, that he should do nothiflat that he could consider calculated to deter bon y a _ objections being made and brought forward; secondl, that where groundless objections were brought for ward he should give costs ; and, thirdly, that as cases of notices of objection which ha d been giYeus _ when these cases were called on from the lists vvllieu had been delivered to him, if he were then told the objections were withdrawn, as those notices had passei through all the machinery and formalities he bad just read from the Act, and :the originals had been, placed in his hands, provided the parties to whose names the objections had been taken, and upon w h°l the notice had been served, appeared and Informforrnete him that they had received those notices of objections upon the handwriting'of the objector being proved or admitted, he should hold, notwithstanding he might b e ' told at this late period the objections were withdraw°, that under the Act the objections had been mad?' and in such cases give costs, and that was the rule he should adhere to. It had been contended 11 is gentleman before him, that because those notices of objection were not to be attempted to be sustained by the objecter, he (the Revising Barrister) had no cog' nisance of them, and could not therefore deal with them, but he could not accede to such a proposition: A notice of objection was given and published. 11,, the objection said that the party objected to was n°l' in Court, he proceeded to prove his notic e of objec tion, and then the person objected to not being present to prove the qualification of the Act of Pa: liament required him to erase that person's name, but if the objector sees him in Court, he seemed to failef that he had only to state that he had been neisirr formed by somebody, and that be withdrew his objection. The party groundlessly objected to there ffroarenchhiasdedr or ly of fe making our' gative, either of b ein g simply to hear from the objhecistort appearance in eon of his appearance there was n o ob j ection to him. i s n equ C enne Was that not a case for costs ? Look at the situationa in which a person objected to was placed—certaa disfranchisement if he did not appear, however n rr assailable his qualification mi g ht be, upon the of mere proof, without another word in his absee, a groundless notice of objecti on to him Navinh been giving. When he (the Learned G entlenianf anno unced his principle of proceeding , i t was stir gested that such a rule might induce the objector 1n• all cases to proceed to have his objections, orobjector notices, fully discussed, though he might feel satis fied. they were totally unte nable. His answer to that was, that he should 'endeavour so to refr:" late the amount of costs as that if he found any sun? system resorted to, he s hould have in his own beau a check upon it, or at any rate, a power to C ause is payment to be made for any such u nnecessary Pr °- ce eding and consumption of time. The Court then proceeded with the Livery, cool" mencing with the Founders' Company. Several objections were sustained on both sidef• chiefly on the ground of residence beyond the rem quired bounds.
