The National Anti-Gold-law League is proceeding vigorously and efficiently. The society last night held its first public meeting, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and the chairman there announced the firm determination of the originators of the move ment not to relax their efforts until the fatal monetary system, against which they have declared war, is abolished, and measures introduced which will permit the full development of the industrial resources of the country. The members of the League have adopted the course by which success must ultimately he attained. They in vite discussion, and declare themselves ready to re cive all questions addressed to them in writing, and to return an answer to every relevant question during the discussion of the ensuing evening. This is a bold and manly determination. It is casting down the gauntlet to all comers. By such means the points of doubts and difficulty by which well-meaning men are influ enced, and induced to withhold their assistance, to refrain from co-operating in the arduous struggle that has been commenced, will receive speedy solu tions. It is also intended to hold local meetings, the first of which is to take place at the Lecture Hall, Greenwich, on Friday next. The real objects of the society will thus be fully explained in every district, the public mind fully awakened to the vital import ance of the question, the magnitude of the interests at stake, the effects of the present laws on our national prosperity, the simplicity and safety of the measures by which they may be replaced, and the stimulus that would thereby be afforded to the productive powers of the country. No persons can possibly be blind to the present evils to which the country is exposed, the gigantic failures, the daily stouages of houses that formerly commanded almost unbounded credit, and that at a period when after the strictest investigation the sus• Pended firms, or at least a large proportion of them, are . round t o b e i n a p er fectly solvent condition, and '') be possessed of ample assets, even at the present depreciated and to leave prices, to liquidate every engagement, a consider able surplus for the principals ; the gener a l distress and difficulty experienced by the trading classes of every grade, and the extraor dinary sacrifices to which they are compelled to submit, in order to theprocure 't means necessary to if carry on their business,indeedthey can by any exertion, or at any l oss be enabled thep uhtloiedafusnod;s,thTehdreee preciation in the p r i ces o f per Cent. Consols being yesterday sold at 81i or more than 15 per cent. lower than they were little n more than a year since, and F our per Cent, below the . lowest point to which they reced e d during the panic in April last, and a corresponding reduction in the value of every other description of property_ but, above all, the general failure of employment, by which our artizans and operatives, and all the la bouring classes, are reduced from a state of compa rative comfort and independence, the fruits of their own honest industry, to the greatest poverty and destitution, and that by no fault or misconduct of their own—all attest the fearful character and extent of the present emergency. Its existence, then, being admitted (and who can be found bold enough to deny it?) the next inquiry will naturally be as to the cause or causes to which such lamentable results are ne cessarily ascribable. There cannot be much greater difficulty in returning an answer to this question. We find almost all the elements of the greatest prosperity coexistent with the undoubted distress. We have had, ha ppily, an abundant harvest ; there is an ample supply of fixed for the people at fair and reasonable prices. There is a considerable demand for the products of our industry. Our manufacturers , have extensive orders for foreign markets. The gold which last year found its way out of the country to pay for the large quantity of food that was necessarily imported, to supply the hiatus caused by the failure of the potato crop, would, in the natural course of things, be again exchanged for our manufactures, if they were not fettered and impeded by some undue restrictions. There are no large stocks on hand, the result of over-speculation and over• production in former years. The raw material can readily be procured, and at rates by no means extravagant. What, then, can be the cause that mars all those fair prospects, and keeps us tossed upon a sea of difficulty, with a propitious haven in sight ? The want of a sufficiency of the circulating medium, of the representative of capital, and the con sequent want of confidence that induces many to hoard up their resources, in order that they may be prepared for their own exigencies. If it can be shown (and we believe it susceptible of the most satisfactory and conclusive demonstration) that there are no other probable causes at present existing that could lead to these results, independent of the operation of the currency laws, and that these are such that, in the events that have happened, viz., a temporary drain of gold, they not cnly might, but, in all human pro bability, would produce such effects, it will be proved as fully as any question of the kind can pos sibly be, that those laws are the source and origin of all our distresses, and that we can never hope for a permanent remedy until the existing cause of the disease be removed. The next, the most difficult point in the investiga tion, will be the measures of reform, the nature and character of the intended changes, of the new enact ments that are to be substituted for those that have been so justly and so generally condemned. There will be many differences of opinion on this topic, and it is to enlighten the public mind with respect thereto, that the chief energies of the Anti Gold-law League must be di rected. As we have already said, it will be easy enough to establish the existence of the evils and their cause ; but to furnish a substitute, to compile a new currency code based on perfect security, so that there can be no danger to the recipients of ultimate loss, and which will, at the same time, affurd ample and sufficient accommodation for the general purposes of the country, and the necessary requirements of our trade and commerce, and avoid that undue ;ex tension which, whatever apparent prosperity it may lead to for the time being, is sure to end in over speculation,-and to involve the entire country in the deepest distress—llic labor hoc opus e.g. We believe that the League are proceeding in the right direc tion ; they have entered on the pathway leading to the goal. They have set out in a proper spirit. The old adage hath it, "Dimidiumfacti qui cepit habct ;" and if well founded, we may congratulate the National Anti Gold-law Leagne on the progress they have already made. More brilliant institutions of a philanthropic cha racter have frequently been established than those which are called Ragged Schools in England, and indhstrial Schools in Scotland. There has never, however, been one more worthy of commendation or more calculated to diffuse happiness and prosperity throughout the population, for—unlike all preceding efforts of benevolence—it goes to the very root o f the national destitution, to the fountain-head of popular depravity; it crushes the evils of want and licentiousness in their germ, and prepares a broad and substantial basis for the next and successive genera tions. Public Baths and Washhouses are unquestion ably most suitable for the convenience of such operatives as are incapable of acquiring habits of cleanliness from the exorbitant outlay it would other wise entail, and whose avocations re quire the more frequent ablutions of their bodies and the more careful purification of their attire. Athenzeums and Reading-rooms are cer tain to prove most beneficial to prosperous and full grown mechanics, to such mechanics as have already acquired for themselves a respectable position in the community, end whose predilections are in favour of scientific and literary investigations. Hospitals and similar structures of an eleemolnary character have in all ages and in all civilised countries been deemed requisite for the prevention of contagion, and the assuagement of the diseases of the poor. Madhouses, supported 'ay shires or municipalities, have extended the assistance of charity to those wretched beings who in the midst of poverty are cursed with the aberration of their intellects. The organi zation of Infant Schools has reflected ho nour upon its originator WILDERSPIN, and there cannot be a moment's question but that these and the before mentioned institutions have been conceived in a wise, prudential, and economical spirit, with an eye to the especial advantage of particular classes and the gradual improvement and amelioration of the general community. Compared with these, however, the Ragged or Industrial Schools, are what the sowing of good seed is when contrasted with the cultivation of the chance crops which have fallen elsewhere than on the reeks and among the brambles. Previous to the assembling of a new Parliament it is always most advisable that the people should agitate by sober demonstration and rational discussion for the removal by the Legislature of such abuses as are found to be the most pernicious and the least endur able. It is a sense of the reasonableness of this prin ciple of action which has induced the more enter prising members of the commercial world to establish the Anti-Gold-law League, and thereby direct the attention of the Government in an especial man ner to the necessity which exists for the re adjustment of our present system of currency. It has likewise kept alive the general anxiety in regard to the details of the intended scheme of National Education, and has preserved in the popular recollection a vivid reminiscence of the exigencies of an immediate introduction of a comprehensive Sanitary enactment. We are rejoiced to perceive that the merits of a plan which has so recently been called into operation, and which received such an universal approval as that of the Ragged or Industrial Schools, are from time to time discussed in different parts of the United Kingdom, and thus sustained in the remembrance of the People and of the Legislature. Dundee has witnessed the last of these demonstrations, and Lords KINNAIRD and ASHLEY have been the last advocates of these remarkable and (morally speaking) most beautiful institu tions. We have coupled the Ragged and Industrial Schools together advisedly, for notwithstanding their original dissimilarity they have gradually become almost identical both in working and appearance. The Ragged Schools were the first established—the Industrial Schools were suggested by that movement, in behalf -of the very destitute, and were in some measure an improvement upon the first crude idea, and a development of the first immature arrangement. To the advantages of mental and religious instruction were added the blessings of food and clothing—to the luxuries of intellectual tuition were conjoined the necessaries of a physical existence. Besides fingering the horn-book, the miserable scholars who had been gathered in from the gutters and the bye-lanes were made also to handle the spoon and the platter. And by this generous and sagacious combination of ad vantages even the most callous and reprobate among the unfortunate children were induced to become students by the temptation of being enabled to satisfy the cravings of their appetites. The fostering of a spirit of mendicity has, however, been most sedulously avoided throughout the whole of these benevolent undertakings. The scholars of the Industrial Schools have never received either victuals or raiment as a gratuity, they have been taught to earn their daily rations by cobblering, or tailoring, or net-wearing, or by the exercise of some other handicraft; and while they have been thus prevented from infesting the streets like a species of human vermin, obtaining nourishment b y t h eft, and amusement from the obscene spectacles of a penny theatre, they have been acquiring, mo reover, a relith for honest industry and occupation, such as must assuredly prove their safe guard throughout life. That has been from their very commencement the object which the founders of the Industrial Schools have principally endeavoured to accomplish, and the like is becoming more and more every successive day the ulterior aspiration of the promoters of the schools, called the Schools for the Ragged. If it be recollected that the individuals who are reclaimed at these institutions are the most forlorn and miserable creatures in the land, the spawn of felons and pickpockets, beings nursed in the midst of filth and ignominy, vice and privation, harshness and ignorance; that their advance in years is only a retrogression in depravity; that they lisp in the arms of the drunkard, and prattle upon the knee of the blasphemer; that their only emulation is one of cunning and illegality,— we shall be enabled the more readily to appreciate the benefits which must accrue from their transformation into honest and industrious members of the com munity. It is literally the transmutation of the grain of poison into corn and wine, into a plentiful harvest and a fruitful vintage. It is the discovery of a secret better than that of the philosopher's stone, for it renders possible the metamorphosis of an embryo felon into an upright and laudable citizen, a metamorphosis more astonishing and salutary than that of a dung heap into bullion. If the philanthropic efforts which have been made during several past months be only persisted in with the same earnestness as hereto fore, Dundee, and Aberdeen, and Westminster, will no longer remain the isolated localities in which In dustrial Schools are flourishing. They will be emu lated in every town and city in these islands, and the occupants of our hulks and penitentiaries must in time be'sensibly diminished. A letter from Berne of the 9th inst. says— " A most serious incident threatens to accelerate the explosion of hostilities between the two parties which now divide Switzerland. You are aware that the Federal Diet issued a decree on the 31st July last, enjoining the cantons bordering on those of the Sonderbund to seize all the arms and ammunition passing through their territory on their way to those states. You know, moreover, that several convoys have been already stopped in Ticino, at Zurich, and in Argau. But the most considerable of all, intended for the canton of Friburg, had not yet been for warded by the French Government, which had un dertaken to supply it. 6,000 muskets and four pieces of artillery had been packed up in large cases, but it was not known by what road they were to pro ceed in order to elude the vigilance of the Swiss authorities. The canton of Neufchatel offered gua rantees to the Ultramontane party, its government, entirely devoted to Prussia, desiring nothing better than to assist the league. But in that canton the number of patriots, partisans of liberal Switzerland, is at least equal to that of its adversaries, and the citizens took on themselves to intercept the arms should they pass through their territory. The Vorort had been informed for several days of the departure of that convoy from the arsenal of Besan c,on, in two divisions, forwarded by different roads. It had officially apprised the Government of Neuf chatel of the circumstance, both as the Vorort and the Government of Berne, and requested it to execute the decree of the Diet of the 31st of July. Finally, it received last night by express a notice that several French carmen had ventured to cross the frontier near Pontarlier, with four waggon loads of muskets and grape shot; that the convoy had safely reached Fleurier, on the territory of Neufchatel, a distance of two leagues from the frontier; that there the convoy had been stopped by a number of citizens, who, after vainly summoning the authorities to perform their duty by seiz ng it, had, on their refusal, con ducted their prize to St. Croix, when they de livered it into the hands of the authorities of Vaud, who sent it into Yverdun. This circumstance, which sufficiently denoted the bad faith and connivance of the Government of Neufchatel, in duced the Government of Vaud to seize the steamer Industrial, which plies on the lake of Neufchatel, to place on board a four-pounder and a detachment of Carabineers, and station it on the southern bank of the hike, to intercept all boats laden with arms and ammunition intended for Friburg, whose territory is washed by the lake on an extent of about two leagues. In presence of all those facts the Vorort hastened to delegate to Neufchatel the Councillor of State Stockmar, as a federal commissioner, to summon the Government of that canton to execute the orders of the Diet, or obtain a formal refusal from it, in order that the Vorort might adopt measures com manded by circumstances. M. Stockmar left this morning, accompanied by a secretary and notary, bearing the national colours; and the result of his mission was the more anxiou,ly expected as the Go vernor of Neufchatel, the Prussian General Pfael, has just arrived in the principality, where a collision ap pears to be imminent between the authorities of the confederation and those of Prussia. "The. Avoyer and Council of State of Lucerne addressed on the Ist instant to the Federal Directory the following reply to its injunction to execute the decree of the Diet relative to the expulsion of the Jesuits : "By a circular of the 6th of September, the decree adopted on the 3d of September by the Diet, in the case of the Jesuits, was transmitted to us for execution. We confine ourselves to return to it this brief reply :- 4 We deny a majority or minority of confederated states any right whatsoever to interfere in the religious afLirs of such or such cantons, and coLsequently in those of the canton of Lucerne, and we will never recognise or execute a decree or enact ment implying such an interference. The authorities of the canton of Lucerne have appointed the Jesuits to profess theology in the seminary, and the people, by their veto, gave their adhesion to that appointment, in virtue of a right of sovereignty inherent to the canton of Lucerne. The state of Lucerne can alone augment or diminish that right. A decision of twelve and two half states annulling that state being unlawful and unjust, is nowise obligatory for the state of Lucerne, and it is the duty of the authorities not to comply with a demand to recognise such a decision, and not to renounce that right. To that declaration, made without any reservation, we add the assurance of our perfect consideration. " We learn from Rome, by accounts dated the 2d, that the motu proprio of the POPE on the organization of the Municipal Council and the Senate of Rome has j ust been published. It effects a great reform for Rome, which has so long been deprived of the municipal institutions which the other towns of the Pontifical States possess This document is as follows : " When Divine Providence called us to govern the Church and the State, our paternal cares were directed to such of the populations submitted to the Pontifical Government, and especially to this cele crated capital, their eldest sister, to which it is sweet to us to devote our labours and watchings. We feel the obligation to have a special care for this illustrious city, because we unite to the supreme power of sovereign the power at which our heart rejoices. And if it be sweet to us to extend our affectionate solicitude over all our dear subjects, we are still more happy to manifest it to the Romans, whom we have continually before cur eyes, and who do not cease to give, with extraordinary constancy, new and excellent proofs of their filial respect to our sacred person. What was especially important, and what we think must be a subject of public joy, was to restore to this dear city the ancient splendour of communal representation, by according it a delibe rative council, a body of magistrates charged to cause its deliberations to be executed, and revenues propor tioned to the charges which it has to sustain. It caused joy to our heart to occupy ourselves with such a project, and we are not alarmed at the grave diffi culties which unfortunately checked our predecessors when they undertook this task. We gave to a most honourable special commission the charge of drawing up a series of regulations, which, in maintaining intact the rights of the Holy See and the Sovereignty, determine the rights and duties of the new communal representation and administration of Rome. These regulations having been carefully examined by us, and found fully satisfactory, we have, by our motu proprio, and by our supreme authority, ordained, and do ordain what follows :" Here follow the articles, which are 76 in number. They declare that all representation and all jurisdic tion, whether administrative, judicial, or baronial, of the Roman magistracy, which have been in vigour till now, shall be abolished. Rome, and all the agro Romano, are to be represented and administered, like other districts of the state, by a deliberative council and an administrative magistracy. The council is to be composed of 100 members, of whom 64 are to be landowners, 32 bankers, merchants, or members of liberal professions, or colleges, or scientific, literary, or artistic institutions, and four are to represent the clergy and the charitable establishments. The nomi nation of the municipal councillors is to be made for the first time by the Sovereign, afterwards by the council itself, by thirds every two years, or according to the new laws which are to be published on the general organization of municipal councils in the states of the Holy See. The municipal magistracy, which is to be called the Senate of Rome, is to be composed of a senator and eight conservators. The privileges and duties of the council and the magis tracy are to be the same as those in the other towns of the state. The 61st article enacts, that the muni cipality shall keep the register of births, marriages, and deaths, whatever may be the religion of the per sons registered. This article is considered a very liberal one. Letters from Ferrara of the 4th instant state that the Austrian troops were still in possession of the town. Disturbances took place at Leghorn in the after noon of the sth instant. The people congregated in large numbers in the principal square, crying " Viva ‘ 4 l 4s • - 1 ! . , '*l? 4 AA *AI 'llll, TIDE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY _EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1847. Corsini 1" (the former Governor) who had become extremely popular since he declined accepting the Ministry for Forip.:n Affairs unless the Grand Duke gave a constitution to his subjects. The Civic Guard was called our, and with difficulty dispersed the mob. Letters from Florence state that— " The promises contained in the programme of the new Tuscan Cabinet were :-Ist, the organization of a Civic Guard, divided into two corps—one formed on the plan of the German Landwehr, and liable to take the field ; and the other sedentary, destined to guard the towns ; 2dly, the augmentation of the army, with a corresponding materiel of war; 3dly, the establish• ment of municipalities, founded on the principle of popular election ; 4thly, the establishment of pro vincial councils, also elective ; .sthly, a central repre sentation, organized according to the form circum stances will suggest. The Grand Duke warmly con curred in the idea of an Italian Customs Union. The new Cabinet gave on that subject the most positive instructions to M. Marini, the Tuscan Envoy at the Court of Turin." Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. The Clamor Publico, in announcing a rumour pre valent in Madrid, that SERRANO is to be elevated to the dignity of Prince and Grandee of Spain, says— " If that announcement be true, it is the greatest scandal we shall have witnessed during the present age. What services and merit entitle General Ser rano to so exalted a dignity, which should only be conferred in recompense of heroic and magnanimous deeds ? What are the sacrifices made by that child of fortune to deserve so high a distinction ? We have seen General Serrano of late occupied in assisting at the exhibitions of the circus and the stage, and amusing himself with his friends and companions. Those campaigns of a novel kind, in which lie easily conquered numerous trophies, cannot surely NI arrant his elevation to the station of Grandee of Spain." The same journal says— " We feel curious to know what will be the con duct of these very men who a few days ago could not find words sufficiently insulting for that influence on which they now hang. We.know who that per sonage is who invited the hero of Ardoz (Narvaez) —who bargained with him, and led him at night into the Queen's apartments. We know the price which he set upon this sudden elevation ; we could tell the terms of this clandestine contract, and we are not ignorant of the trap these two masters of the age laid for each other. Instead of that excessive punishment which was to have flowed from virtuous severity, we now expect to see living in perfect harmony the ultra-Moderados and the influential personnage so lately doomed, while between them shall be shared the abundant hire of place and patronage." • _ _ _ GONZALES BRAVO has arrived in Madrid. On the 6th the QUEEN signed decrees annulling the financial projects of SALAMANCA. Senor SIERRA, a proteg6 of Senor MoN, has been nominated Under-Secretary of the Financial Depart ment, and the Countess of MONTI.TO is appointed Camerara Mayor of the QUEEN.

Passive Debt, 51 offered ; Bank of San Fernando, 135 offered. Exchange on London, 48d. 40. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. It was rumoured in Paris that Queen CHRISTINA had secretly left for Madrid. This is extremely pro bable, for it is very evident, from the tone of an article in the Presse, that both LOUIS PIIILIPPE and CIIRISTINA distrust NAILVAEZ. The Presse, speaking of the Duke of VALENCIA, says— "It is not only Spain, but all Europe, that has its eyes turned upon him. It is said that on leaving , France he assumed fur his motto—Force with mo deration and legality. This is admirably appropriate to the occasion, and if General Narvaez remains con stantly faithful to it, we can promise him, without fear of being contradicted by facts, that he will bring to a point most of the questions which have during twelve months remained unsolved; and that he will, for a long period, keep from power his implacable ad versaries, who, at this time at least, are the enemies of Spain and her greatest political and commercial interests. To keep himself upon a level with circum stances, General Narvaes must first be mistrustful of himself, of his self-love, and of the incomparable vi vacity of his temper; he must next mistrust all those who, under any pretence, try to excite the ardour of his character. They would not be enlightened friends to him, and would cause him to commit faults. General Narvaez is one of those men who, full of fire, are irritated at every obstacle, are to) easily carried away by passion, and, consequently, who have, if we may be allowed to use the expression, more need of the bit than of the spur. We shall not lose our time in attempting to divine what will be the policy to which he will attach his name. By an act of the best augury, and which is an answer to many calumnies, he has convoked the Cortes, and ere a month passes he must publish his pro gramme." The Constitutionnel has the following on the causes and the probable consequences of the recent Minis terial changes in Spain:— " Truth is truth. It is all very fine for our Minis ters to take their gravest and most solemn tone, in order to explain, by profound political causes, the last change of Cabinet which has just taken place at Madrid; but what we have recorded of the circum stances of this i event, according to the Ministerial correspondenceitself, s not mere scandalous gossip— it is the history of Spain, the truest, the beet known, and the least liable to be disputed. It is certain that General Narvaez left Paris with a mission—that of obtaining possession of power in Spain, of preventing the return of Espartero, and especially of reconciling Queen Isabella wi▪ th the Ki ng . A n ar ti c l e i n a re• view, which was wri▪ tten in the cabinet of M. Guizot took the precaution of announcing to the public in advance all that General Narvaez had gone to accom plish at Madrid, and particularly the early establish ment of good harmony between the royal couple, and, the removal of General Serrano. Our readers have not forgotten that General Narvaez found the Queen snore disinclined than ever to the idea of a reconcilia tion with her husband, and th a t h e was coo ll y th rown i aside by the irresistible infl uence o f t hi s same G enera l disgrace Serrano which he was to have inflicted fell on , a hem he had th e m i ss i on t o ex il e . Th e him, and, instead of proscribing, he saw himself on the point of becoming pro s c r ib e d. The Salama n ca Ministry was formed in a few moments in concert with General Serrano; the Duke de la Victoria was nominated a Senator, and a decree of amnesty re opened Spain to all the refugees. Among all the Spaniards there was scarcely any other than General Narvaez to whom a residenc e a t M a drid w as inter dicted. It was i▪ mpossible to fail more completely. However, as we have already stated, the credit of Serrano, which soon appeared to become less in the Queen's mind, came to be threatened by those who owed their recent tri▪ umph to his influence. Another person was pushed towards favour by the Salamanca Ministry, which believed it very clever to cause a new sun to rise at the Court for it s a d van t age . N a rvaez was informed of it, and adroitly turned this fault of his adversaries to advantage. Serrano irritated, em- played the ascendency which he maintained in the mind of Isabella; and in half-an-hour the Ministry was overthrown—Narvaez passed from disgrace to the Presidency of the Council ; the ordinances insti tuting the new Cabinet on the wreck of the old one were signed, or r a th er f u l m i n ated with miraculous rapidity. At present, Narvaez, whose funda mental political idea is an implacable rivalry with Esparte ro , w ill , per h a ps, annul the decree of amnesty to his enemy. In any event , it would not b e sa f e, it i s said, for the Duke de la Victoria to r e - enter S pa i n . He has for enemies in future not only the new President of the Council, but also general Serrano himself, to whom it was de sired to oppose in the Queen's favour Colonel Gan dare, who is greatly devoted to Espartero. It appears, moreover, that Espartero never thought of returning to Spain. Behold then the ex-Regent kept in exile, and Narvaez at the head of the Cabinet. But the principal object of his mission is far from being ac complished, and he even finds himself engaged pre cisely in the interests which he was to have corn batted. Serrano wa s to have been sent away by him ; but he is closely allied with Serrano. He was to have negotiated a reconciliation between the Queen and the King ; but he is obliged to perpetuate the separation between the royal couple, and even to second in this respect the sentiments of the Queen. Is that the policy of our Government ? It would be well in truth to explain to us the prqinind reasons by which it could now he wished that the qut stien of the di vorce should al wi.y, s remain pending, by the perma nent absence of the King Don Francisco. It is profoundly ridiculous to deny certain facts, in order to manufacture imaginary triumphs. But what strikes us more strongly is the folly of people who have caused one of the greatest European difficulties which France could meet with to exist in Spain, and who apply thereseiaies every day to increase and to envenom it still snore. What does the Government propose to itself of a serious and useful nature, when it boasts of having beaten Mr. Bulwer and the English by the removal of Colonel Gandar anda General Serrano and the Minister Narva C7. ? Is I Minister Salamanca, and by the favour .ts rance, of object to I increase the dissension between England and to render the struggle more b i tter, stronger, more violent ? Does it believe it able t o kee p alive the question incessantly, instead of hushing it up ? H as I it at least made a step towards one of the solutions which is desired ? 11as the sueeesion of the Duke de Mentpensier become more certain, because General Serrano has not quitted the palace ? Is the Queen separated more completely than ever from the King, more likely to give heirs to the crown, than under the Salamanca Ministry, and thus render more distant the causes of conflicts be tween England and France ? Is our Government in a word, nearer to a reccnciliation or nearer to a success? No. It aggravates rather than it repairs the unpar donable fault of the double marriage, which has al ready caused so much injury to liberal Europe, and compromised so profoundly the interests of our cause and our country. Ceding as hitherto to its puerile habit of swelling valueless facts by words, of deceiv ing the nation by false appearances, of taking the trumpet of charlatans for an instrument of renown, it endeavours to transform an event brought about by a palace intrigue into a diplomatic victory, and which, moreover, commented on as it is now, cannot have any other effect than to irritate liberal Spain, and to evenom the resentment of England. Oh I the clever men, the wise Alinisters of the Government of 1830, who by a single act have divided the two most . civilised nations, prepared hostility towards France on all points of the world, delivered up Poland and ' Switzerland at the same time, compromised the cause of Italian independence, the repose of Spain, of Greece, of the East, the security of our African fron tiers, and who consider themselves gloriously recom pensed by the advantage-obtained by M. Serrano over M. Gandara in a struggle of influences!" The National has a long article on the financial crisis in England, the object of which is to show that the Bank of England was instituted solely for the purpose of crushing France. The ex-King of Westphalia, JEROME BONAPARTE, and his son, went yesterday to the Invalides to pray at the tomb of the Emperor NAraLsoN. They were received by General PETIT and the staff officers of the Hotel. While they were performing their pious duty the news of their arrival went round the hospital, and when they came out, the greater part of the veteran soldiers were ranged in ranks to do them honour as they passed. The following is the order of the day issued by the Duke D'AUMALE on taking the command of the Army of Africa : " On taking the command of the army of Africa, the Governor-General of Algeria feels it his duty to testify to all the officers, non commissioned officers, arid soldiers of which it is composed, the pride he has in finding himself at their head. Having been already called five times to serve in their milks, he has long known how much may be expected from their devo tion to the King and to France. Confiding in their courage and in the tried merit of their valorous generals, he cannot doubt that success will continue to crown all their noble deeds. The army, which has accomplished so many great feats, has expressed universal regret at the retirement of the illustrious chief to whom it owes so much glory, and under whose orders I should have so much loved to have again: found myself. Let him, then, receive this new expression of the lively and grateful recollection which the army of Africa must ever preserve of him. " Lieut.- General, Governor- General of Algeria, " li. D'ORLEANS." The Journal des Danis publishes the following from Naples : " We yesterdy received letters from Naples of the 28th ult., in which we have the most entire confi dence, and which confirm what we have had occasion to say several times as to the truth of the news which are manufactured every day at Marseilles and at Malta on the affairs and situation of Italy.• Thus, with respect to what has recently occurred in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, has it not been daringly asserted that the insurgents of the Calabrias disposed of an army of 4,000 foot soldiers, 700 cavalry, and 17 pieces of mountain artillery ? Has it not been announced that General Nunziante had been beaten near Cosenza, that the Calabrias and the Abbruszis were in flames, that sixty .five of the best families Of Messina had Seen most of their members shot by the royal troops, that the King himself had been taken, &c. &c.! But nothing of all that is true. The insurrectional movements which have taken place on several points, have never been of suf ficient importance to cause real and serious disquietude to the Neapolitan Government; and, that is so true, that the principal chief of the insurgents, Romeo, gave himself up to the royal troops, which, be it ob served en passant, does not prove that all those who fell into the hands of the authorities were shot with out pity. At present the insurrection is conquered, and the King's Government is everywhere strong, and everywhere master of the situation. All the points on which it couid conceive fears are occupied by imposing forces, and columns traverse the pro vinces at this moment as they do every year at the same period. But that is not all the truth, nor the best part of the truth. We consider it certain that King Ferdinand has not remained insensible either to the deplorable disturbances which of late years have at different times troubled the peace of his kingdom, onto the glorious movement which Pius IX. has given to the Governments as well as to the nations of the Peninsula ; we believe, in short, that if he has vigorously suppressed the insurrection, he understands the necessity of making concessions for the future to libera to employ lopinion towards theandthatheh eoasngue promised, red theaf terthe victory, finest prerogative of strength and royalty—mercy."

CITY OF LONDON. (Before T. Y. M'CnnlsTlE, Bsq.) ST. DUNSTAN'S IN THE WEST. The name of William Bradbury was objected to by Mr. Brown, on the ground that he was not duly rated. It appeared that the ' entry in the rata.-book was simply "Punch-office," and a witness also proved that Mr. Bradbury was rated. Mr. Brown contended that an impersonal rating such as that of " Punch-office," was not sufficient to entitle Mr. Bradbury, or any other person, to take any benefit from it. If, for instance, the Messrs. Bathe and Beebe , the proprietors of the London Tavern, were neither of them rated as such, and the only entry in the rate-book were the words " London Tavern," that would surely not be a rating of the occupants such as was required by the Act. Mr. Smith, on the other hand, argued that Mr. Bradbury was only rated under a misnomer, or in accurate description. He was the party bound to pay the ratts, and was bond fide called upon to do so, and had done so, and it was, therefore, clearly a case which came w ithi n th e p rov i s i on o f the 40th section of the Reform Act, by which any inaccurate description in the rate could be obviated. The REVISING BARRISTER thought that the objec tion was not a valid one, and he certainly felt disposed to award Punch his costs. Objection disallowed. Mr. Lake, described in the register as residing at No. 2, Shoe-lane, and on the list stated to reside at No. 1, Shoe-lane. Mr. Brown objected to the name upon this ground, and maintained that it ought to be expunged. Mr. Smith contended that the Court had the power to alter the number, it being only an erroneous de scription. The COURT held that the name ought to be ex punged, and fined the overseers in the sum of 3/. for their neglect of duty. The overseer said that he had done all that lay in his power to obtain an accurate list of the parties. alleecuhrandtelgyoentelptioeatitieberaet:t-rbieosokts of the collectors, herein,anditsN.a an d accurately nd very hard upon the overseers to be fined for doing their duty as directed by the Act.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was ex tremely dull. ' Sales, 3,000 bales, at d. to id. per lb. reduction on the rates of Friday last.—Railway Shares were steadier, with a trifling improvement in the state of feeling. Another great Mauritius house having suspended payment, that of Barclay, Brothers, anxiety is re awakened, and suspicion lurks abroad. No one seeks to allay the prevalent excitement, and there is daily a complication of events which endangers parties 'of ex cellent, but not immediately available, resources. How such a state of things can be suffered to exist when a few Bank of England notes would re lieve the crisis, it is almost incredible to con ceive. The Bank, however, does its best to assist all parties, and though compelled to limit its accommo dation, and to exact the re-payment of loans upon stock and Exchever-bills, will probably beeome more liberal after the bulk of the dividend payments shall have been completed. Messrs. Barclay's liabilities are about half a million sterling. The losses of the firm upon sugars, and by the suspension of other houses, must have been tremendous. Messrs. Mocatta, of Liverpool, in the Caraccas trade, have stopped payment, but not, we believe, for a large sum. In the manufacturing districts trade is most depressed, and here the Indigo sales are going lower. The affairs of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners of England, as developed at the Meeting held yesterday, are unfavourable, and the Bank of England will evidently, unless the share holders of the former make great exertions, have to administer their property. It appears that from the pressure of the monetary world they could not raise the capital they required without enormous sacri fices, and were compelled to apply to the Bank of Eng land for assistance, who consented to lend them 270,0001. upon a mortgage of their estates, at the rate of five per cent. per annum; to this arrangement the meeting con sented, and the common seal of the company was placed upon a resolution to thateffect; 150,000/. was to be applied to the discharge of claims upon them, and the remaining 120,0001. was left for the carrying on the works of the company. A long and animated discussion took place, which ended in the directors promising to lay a full statement of the affairs of the company before the proprietors at the earliest possible period. The state of affairs in the Stock Exchange, this being settling day, has been extremely unsettled, and from the extraordinary fluctuations of the last few weeks, the result of to-morrow is looked for with extreme anxiety. Much will depend apon the ability of outside speculators to meet their losses, but if report speaks truly, one or two of our wealthy capitalists, who have been operating for the rise, will have heavy amounts to make up. So far it will be satisfactory to the parties concerned—for the public have no interest in stock-jobbing—if the losses fall upon parties able and willing to meet them. At the Bank the dividend payments proceed briskly, and the number of early applicants proves how acceptable the money is just now. Consols have been 811 to 801 for transfer, and 821 to 811 for November. Exchequer bills have ranged from 20s to 335. discount. Bank Stock has fallen to 181 and 178.
