On the evening of next Thursday week, namely, on the 9th day of December, Lord JOHN RUSSELL will bring i n a Bill f or th e f ur th er re li e f o f h er M 4 ESTT'S Jewish subjects from civil disabilities. On that evening the last blow is to bo stricken against religious intolerance, the last demon of bi g ot ry_ , a_to be . cast out of the Constitution. It is quite.a impossible to expect that this legislative exorcisms will prove ine ffectual . as it is to anticipate anythin g lik e resignation on the part of the more excitably 1 o- the au Jew enthusiasts. The question is no lou ger— sit in Parliament ? or, Has the Baran LIONE L n B R e : ILI) been elected to no purpose by the enfranchised citizens of the metropolis ? England has elevated it to the The Prime Minister of thlet decision of a proclsunaon of a fact Ministerial project principle. By reviving t h e of let session a project which postponed iu consequence of the pressure w" only stani:es—Lord JOHN RUSSELL has pla ced e t , o ftheirau e mattntrn. in a light worthy of the occasion, of the Government, ~ of the age, and of the empire. Ills inquiry is not to the propriety of an isolated coincidence, it i s as a t: the unit anal application of a sublime policy ; i t i , not as 'to the modification of an oath, but a s to the erasure of a blot on the national escutcheon. Hi s inquiry is manly, comprehensive, and explicit : it places vnder the consideration of the Imperial Par : liarnent the demand—the last and most memorable demand of Christianity and Freedom—shall Civil an d Religious Liberty be, in truth and in ve r y deed, proclaimed to b e the life, and the Beni his, and the inspiration of the political c onstitutic,n of Great Britain ? It is well that the new Parr - a m ent should be enabled to associate with its inaum „vat ion the settlement of this momentous p.roblem; a %oil it is especially well that the man who, in his capa e it, vas First Lord of the Treasury, is to afford them that . olden opportunity , is who has l I inscribedg is one a real- y his name upon the pages of our history as SUN, trines of the Roman Catholic Church to be "damnable, idolatrous, and blasphemous," the famous Act of Emancipation was passed, restor ing all their civil rights and immunities to those who were subservient to the Papacy. Link link the chains of intolerance have been broken asunder. Bit by bit the code of bigotry has been torn to pieces, and seatterEd to the winds of heaven. One link of that cruel chain remains—one shred of that atrocious code has still to be destroyed ; and in demanding its destruction from the Legislature the Premier might with justice encourage its Members to this last manifestation of tolerance by remind ing them that the proposed relief of the civil disabilities upon the Israelites, is only the revival of a truth already avowed by Parliament. For it is a matter entitled to our remembrance that in the commencement of the reign Of GEORGE I. a Bill was passed suspending the laws formerly enforced against the Jews, and that the benignant provisions of that Bill continued in operation for three years afterwards. Shall a Parlia ment of GEORGE I. display more tolerance than a Parliament of VICTORIA I.? Shall the example which was afforded in the instance of Mr. PEASE go for nothing, and the still more brilliant course pur sued towards TUE LIBERATOR and his eo religionists be in this instance null and fruitless ? What PEASE was to the Quakers, and O'CONNELL to the Catho lics—shall not ROTHSCHILD be to the Jews ? Can we remain impassive when we are conjured by an earnest clergyman of the Church of England • to allow Israelites to participate in the fabrication as well as in the enforcement of the laws—to add their intelligence to the national councils, as well as their obedience to the aggregate loyalty of the people ? The question is a short one, but it is . . one pregnant with most eloquent meaning —Are we, in truth, advocates of taerance in things ethical and political : is our motto of " Civil and Religious Liberty" a truth or a hunting ? We cannot object to Ulu nature ,of the measures which the Chancellor of title Exchequer introduced last night with respect to Railways, although we by no means concur in the agguments adduced by the Right Honourable Baronet in support of his views. These measures relate to 'companies which have al ready received the legislative sanction to their pro jects, and to those whose schemes are still before Parliament, either standing- over from last year or low about to be brought feet-ward for the first time. rhere is to be no compulsory interference with the :onlpanies that have already obtained their Acts. 'such a course would ialvolve a breach of faith towards those who bad invested their capital in these undertakings without then slightest reason to suppose that the representatives oif the people could ever be ;nduced to violate the c4ontract into which they, on the part of the nation, Ir id entered with the several companies. Such an imputation should not be en countered if the benefits: 'to be attained by the total cessation of the works we re less problematical than we believe them to be. Toese companies are divided into two classes—viz., th 013 e which have already com menced their operations, whose roads are actually in course of construction ; :and those which had not commenced their works tap to the day of the intro duction of the Bill. Th era is no power or authority of which they are at pre sea it possessed taken away from the former class, tia ey may still proceed as rapidly as they may think i roper ; but if they should be desirous of suspending c r retarding their opera tions, they are to be autho rised to do so for a limited time, without forfeiting any right or privilege. whatsoever. For this purpos e they are to be al lowed an extension of times for the completion of their works, and for conclnarling the purchase of the lands they are empowered to take under the pro visions of their several Ac ts. The exact period of this extension is not yet sottled—the Right Hon. Baronet leaving it to be' , decided in Committee whether it should be for t oor three years beyond the times limited in their r. pective Acts. This pro position is fair and equitaible, and no person can object with reason thereto._ It would, perhaps, be better if the time were eal ended even beyond the maximum of three years, 4:gested by Sir CHARLES Noon. It is manifest the no general rule can be applicable to every case ; e a c.,41 must be judged ac cording to its own peculi r circumstances, and we cannot see any objection_ to permit the share holders to decide on the - period of extension, the anrobation of the Rail May Board being essen- moral of r_ospect, Tryruan's Apol ivy for favouring Jewisha Policy of :.as bearing . ..

But do not Unitari iris sit in Parliament? a n d can they, in a strict and 1 #.oper sense, be cons id ered Christians by Churchmen? Ido not wish to say any thing harsh; but Colerid „re, Arnold, and other great philosophers, deny that ' ‘ Thitafians can correctly be called Christians." among not the least worthy of the emancipators of the population. It is well that the vigour of a newly elected House of Commons should be employed in proclaiming the equality of all classes of citizens ; and it is especially well that the Legisib\Nl i :lls upon the popular rep&sentatives 't KinetiemVareounce that glorious declaration is a statesman such as Lord JoUN RUSSELL—by whose genius, and eloquence, and patriotism the Test and Corporation Acts were expunged from the book of imperial statutes. The combination of persons, dates, and interests, is most propitious. When the experiences afforded by the past are re membered, the removal of the Jewish disabilities be comes, to every impartial mind, a matter of neces sity rather than of choice—the completion of what has been long ago commenced, rather than the initiation of a novel scheme of politics. We must recollect this, that according to the law as it at present stands a Jew is not disqualified by the doctrinal belief of his religion from any other office but that of a Member of Parliament. An Israelite may be an elector; he is only prohibited (and that even only accidentally) from taking a seat in the Lower House at Westminster. He may exercise the prerogative of the franchise ; but a casualty prevents him from participating in the de liberations of the Senate. An Israelite may be de clared a sheriff—for that right was admitted during the reign of WILLIAM IV.—but he cannot be de clared a burgess of the Commons. An Israelite may become a municipal councillor—for that right has been admitted during the reign of her present Most Gracious MAJESTY—but he cannot become an occupant of the Ministerial or Opposition benches — he cannot sit below the gangway—he cannot pene trate further than the lobby. Every disability has been removed—excepting this. Every barrier has been levelled—excepting the barrier which excludes the children of the creed of Palestine from the interior of the Chambers of Parliament. And the obstacle— let it be borne in recollection—is one which, as we have already remarked, has merely an acci dental existence. That obstacle is in the formal wording of the Oath of Abjuration, —the phrase—the incidental expression—" On the true faith of a Christian." It is almost ludicrous to reflect that the only thing which precludes a Jew from taking up his position within view of the official chair of Mr. SPEAKER is a casual formula like this— " On the faith of a Christian "—language which was merely introduced to give some sort of emphasis to a renunciation of all allegiance to the house of STUART: and that this Oath of Abjuration (imposed by an Act of WILLIAM 111., and confirmed by another of GEORGE I.) was solely drawn up with reference to Catholics and Jacobites, the Legislature giving no more thought at the time to the unfortunate Israelites than they did to the worshippers of the THREE PRE CIOUS BUDIIAS. Besides this, it must on no account be forgotten that when Mr. PEASE refused to be sworn in, because, as a member of the Society of Friends, he enter tained certain moral objections to an oath, he was permitted to make a solemn affirmation. When Mr. O'CONNELL refused to take the Oath a Supremacy because he did not conceive the doe- THE LONDON, tial in the event of the time approved of b 7 the shareholders being greater than that fixed in the Act. Senhor RODRIGO'S Administration, and so the actual one will for the present retain power, adopting, however, such measures as may tend to allay the feelings of the people, and to secure a true representa tion. The conditions under which they have agreed to continue in power are yet unknown, but it seems that they intend to postpone the elections in order to have a true registration, and also avoid the inter female of the armed fore; which has dictated the law until now. For this purpose they have already superseded the Marquis of FRONTEIRA in his post of Civil Governor of Lisbon, and an order of the day signed by the KING, as Commander •in-Chief of the Army, has been published in the Diario of the lgth, against the military for their interference in the elections, threatening the disobedient with exemplary punishment. The only parties; %Nho uld complain are the rand owners, whose properties may be required for the purposes of the works, and compensation may be made to them for the delay in the manner provided by the Bill, and in which damages ar at present assessed. It will, in fact, form a new element te be takerrinto calculation by the juries, viz., the loss sus tained by the proprietors in consequence of the pro. perty not having been taken and paid for within .the time originally appointed for that purpose ; and the companies cannot complain, because they themselves will, by .1 majority of votes, have ap proved of the postponement, and of course they must weigh the censequerkes, and consider the additional expenses that will be incurred by such a course before they decide thereon. The course to be adopted with respect to the latter class is also just and equitable. A similar extension of time is to be accorded to them that is granted to those whose works are already in process of con struction, but this additional restri c tion is to he in troduced, viz., that the directors of any company whose works shall not have been commenced on the day when the Bill was introduced shall not be em powered to proceed with the : - .onstruction of the works without the previous consent of a certain pro portion of the share holders. That proportion has not yet been decided on, but is to be fixed in Com .mittee, the Chancellor 9f the Exchequer sug gestipg two-thirds or three-fourths. Either ap pears to be rather large, considering the diffi culty of getting so great a number of persons together, or even obtaining an expression of their wishes on any subject whatever. It appears to us that the desire of a dear majority, in number and value, should be sufficient to get rid of the prohi bition. Count DB FARROBO was, on Sunday, the 14th, summoned to the Palace, and had an interview with her MAJItSTY, who expressed a wish that he should accept the nomination of Civil Governor, to super sede the Marquis DE FRONTEIRA. The Count ten dered his excuse, and Colonel LAPA (Baron D'ORsisz), who commanded a division under SAI, DANHA against the Oporto insurgents, has since been appointed. How far his nomination will satisfy the opposite interests of the contending parties remains to be seen. The great popular meeting took place on Sunday last. It was numerously attended, and about four thousand electors met in one of the central houses of this capital, which has a large garden adjoining. The Marquis Da LOULB took the chair, supported by the leading members of the Opposition, several of whom spoke, amongst them the ex-Deputies JOZB EsTa ♦AS, and LURNEL, and the following resolutions were carried by a majority :- Ist. Resolved—That the meeting of the opposition electors shall address to her MAJESTY an humble request for the postponement of the elections, and a due registration of votes. 2d. That all the electors shall go to the poll, and try to bring the eleetors to vote, in accordance with their constitutional right, prevailing upon them not to abandon the urn ; and 3d. That in case any violence should be offered to them in the act of voting, that they were to retire peaceably from the electoral field without offering any resistance. During the meeting, twelve petty officers of the 2d battalion of volunteers tried to insult the electors, and make disturbances; one of them went so far as wrest from the hands of an elector the manifesto of the committee that the elector was peaceably reading. This unwarrantable act was severely chastised by one of the bystanders, who struck him with a stone, which brought him to the ground. No further disturbance occurred. It is lamentable that these warriors show such courage now against unarmed citizens, pro voking them daily so as to endanger public tranquil lity, when before the Protocol their martial spirit ap peared so cast down. On Tuesday, the 16th, a deputation of the great electoral meeting called on the Minister of the In terior, Senhur CAILVALUO B MELLO, and delivered the petition of the opposition, requesting her MAJESTY to prorogue the elections, and to give such orders as may ensure a due registration of all the voters who have a right to be electors. It seems the Minister received the deputation with great urbanity, and promised the request should be laid before her MA JESTY to obtain a decision, after hearing her respon sible advisers. A few nominations of civil governors have taken place, and amongst them Baron DE VALLONGO for Oporto, and Dr. MoNIz (ex -Deputy and lately a member of the Mixed Commission at the Cape of Good !-lope) for Coimbra. These nominations, how ever, are of little consequence, as the political situa tion of this country is indeed most deplorable. To say the truth, but little is known abroad as to the true state of things in Portugal, and hence the em piricists which frequently appear in the correspon• dances of some of the newspapers, and in the criti cism of many writers abroad, who are not over scrupulous in prescribing panaceas for a dangerous disease, without having a practical knowledge of the malady. Portugal is completely lacerated by the two ex treme parties, bent upon the destruction of each other, in order to remain masters of the field, and hence offering, as it were, to dispose of the throne and the nation as if they were public property. Both parties aim at power, and care little as to the means of obtaining it. The party of the Cabrals, weak in numerical strength, is, however, audacious, enterpris ing, ambitious, and revolutionary, owing to the per sonal character of its leader, who strives for power, oaring little about the result, and despising the ob stacles he has to surmount. If this party could suc ceed, I have not the least doubt that a tremendous revolution would naturally be the result of such an event, and perhaps (may Providence avert it) the throne would be crushed to atoms in the vortex of a new convulsion. The Septembrist party, known by its detnocratical ideas, strives also after power, and if by any unforeseen circumstance it should be success ful the result will be a military revolution, as the army, notwithstanding that the majority are averse to the Cabrals, yet are opposed to the Junta partisans, not so much In political principles, but essentially with regard to individuals who are the ostensible loaders of this party. Thus, unfortunately, the vital questions politically discussed are for the most part questions of men not of principles. I will not say that the present Administration, how ever, composed of honest and conscientious men, is the most adapted to the present difficult circumstances, but what I can declare positively is that the princi ples they profess are undoubtedly the most fitting for Gcvernment, as they are staunch defenders of the Quells and the Charter, tolerant, moderate and for bearing. When will the Protocol end ? This is a question of great national interest, as it is really impossible to obtain any good whilst foreign influence keeps alive the elements of discord! The tutorship of England and France in the Peninsula has been the cause of great evils, and will continue to produce the excep tional state in which both nations have been kept. The best course that England can now adopt is to let us alone : this was what the merchants of Mar seilles asked once of Louis XIV., when the KING put the question to them, in what way he could protect their trade ? Laissez nous faire, was their simple and witty answer. Let me say two words about the financial state of this country. There is a general outcry against the Government because it does not meet its engage ments, nor procure the means of meeting them. In general, foreigners speak superficially about our financial state, and the natives are biased by party spirit. Since the year 1834 all men in power have concealed the true situation of our finances, repre senting Portugal in a most prosperous situation ; yet since that year the revenue could never cover the ex • penditure, and so well demonstrated is the fact, that in that ♦ery year after the civil war, when SiLvs, CAR YALU() was Minister, with all the resources he could derive from the sale of national property, he was obliged, nevertheless, to resort to loans, and especially a very considerable one, to cancel the paper money. CARVALHO'S successors in 1836, notwithstanding their economies, which were the abandonment of the payments of the dividends of the foreign debt, which was capitalized in 1840—be sides what was due to the public employes, also had recourse to loans. Since that period, Count TOJAL lived exclusively on private loans, without hazarding one penny of his own property. It is true, that during CABRAL'S Administration, many companies were established, the public employes were more regularly paid, and great jobbing went on. In the end all such colossal companies were mere bubbles—the capitals for the great enterprizes existed The proposition with respect to the Bills now be , fore the House for adjudication appears to be a re newal of that which was last year brought forward ; it is that a Committee shall be appointed, who are to take into their consideration all the schemes for which petitions have been presented, and to decide thereon which shall be proceeded with, and which passed over during the present session. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that, in 1846, a Committee was appointed for a similar purpose, and that so many difficulties were found to exist in the way if coming to a satisfactory decision, that, after frequent sittings and much deli beration, the attempt was abandoned, and every Bill was permitted to ccire before the House on its own merits, without reference to the number of other projects, or the amount of expenditure thereby con templated, and that consequently Bill. were passed authorising an outlay of nc less than 124,500,000/. sterling. There is, however, little prospect of such extensive powers being again demanded, at least for some years to come. It is more than probable that it is only those in connexion with existing lines-- such as deviations or short constructions—that will be sought for during the present session. The present Committee will, therefore, have a much easier task, and one of a less invidious na ture than that which was imposed on the Committee of 1846, who coul 1 scarcely be ex pected to decide between conflicting projects and rival undertakings without hearing the evi lence that might be adduced and the arguments ur.ed on behalf of the contending parties. The large demands of the railway companies may have had tome effect in increa.ing the difficulties sus tained by all classes in the country during the present Monetary crisis ; but it is most unjust in any manner to ascribe the calamity to the creedal of railways. No, it was owing to the iniquitous monetary laws, by which the industry of the nation is fettered and re strained. There is, perhaps, scarcely any descrip tion of undertaking that requires so small . n amount to be sent out of the nountry, in proportion to the entire outlay, as the construction of railways. They afford an extraordinary quantity of employment to the labouring classes, who would otherwise remain in idleness, a heavy burden on the property of the country, in place of materially increasing the national wealth. It is unnecessary to dilate on the wonderful benefits that have been derived frori, those gigantic projects; how greatly time has been economised, and every description of property in their vicinities increased in value. With a better system of finance, and a well-regulated currency, there would be no necessity for preventing the full developmentof the national industry, the employment of every man able and willing to work. The Swiss Vorort published on the ‘l2d an an nouncement that a convention for t . . - e capitulation of the canton of Zug had • been : , n;ered into by two deputies of that canton and General DuFouu, subject to the ratification cf the authorities of the cantcn, and that the federal troops were to occupy the territory on the 22d. An action had been fought on the 20th between the federal troops •,nd those of lug, in which the latter had been defeated. On the following day two commissioners arrivesi at General DUFOUR'S head quarters to treat for peace. The following are the terms of the convention:— " Article 1. The cant= of Zug secede.. from the Son derburrd. " Artic!o 2. The federal troops will occupy the canton in the evening of the 22d. "Art. 3. The federal troops will be lodged and main tained in the canton of Zug according to the military regulations. Art. 4. Zug will disband its troops, whose arms will be deposited in the cantonal arsenal. Tho troops of the other states of the Sonderbund will quit the canton of Z•ig. _ "Art. 5. The aims bt the landsturm are likewise to be deposited in the cantonal arsenal." The remaining articles are a mere repetition of those of the capitulation of Friburg. General Duroug published on the 22d a proclama tion to his army, announcing to them that on that day they would enter the , territory of Lucerne. The General invites his troops to deport themselves as generous warriors, to spare the wounded, to respect the churches and all edifices consecrated to religious worship, to protect all defenceless individuals, and commit no depredations. The federal army was likewise to enter on that day the ttrritory of Schwyte and Zug, and the head-quarters were to be trans ferred from Aarau to Al uri. The intelligence from Ticino of the 19th states that the Sonderbund .lolurnn of Uri and the Valais had not advanced beyond Facilo, but that two bat talions of Grisons were hourly expected at Bellin , zone, and that Colonel Lu rim had force sufficient to defend the town until the arrival of reintc • rcements. General Ranowrrz left Berlin on the 21st inst, for Frankfort, where the affairs of Switzerlani will, it is said, undergo a preliminary discussi m. The visit of the Presider.t of the Germanic Diet, Count MUNCH BELLINGHAUSEPT, to the Courts of Carls rube, Munich, and Stuttgard, has not been attended with success, as those states refuse to advance troops towards the Swiss frontier, much to the mortification of Austria. Oa the 22d a protracted firing of musketry Wil heard at Aarau, and the Gazet4=: di Rua states that it was reported that the Lucerne troops had been completely defeated by Genoral DUft:Uli on that day. Several cases of cholera have occurred at Constan tinople. The . r ourivii de Constantinapar, of the Bth, says— " The malady does not spread here with its habitual rapidity, and its character is very mild. In the space of thirteen days only nine undoubted cases have been re ported ; and although epidemic complaints generally are very violent at the very commencement, and seldom spare the first victims, out of the nine persons attacked four only have died, while one has completely recovered, and three are going on favourably towards recovery. As regards the ninth case, it is too recelit to enable us to judge of the issue. Frc.m this it is to be hoped that tt:e cholera will not make any great ravages at Constan tinople. We may remark, too, that the persons hitherto attacked were in a position which rendered them parti eLlarly liable to the disease. Some of them were of the very poorest classes, and others had suffered great grief from the derangement of their affairs, and had given th,mselves up to all sorts of excess. The cholera as far as has hitherto been observed has not shown it elf in the. environs." The cholera has entirely ceased at Tribiaond and Bagdad. in the imagination of the creators of such schemes—a mock credit was constantly in action, the Bank with its bank-notes supplying the emergencies of the moment, so as to furnish more than thirteen thou sand contos to the Government, or throe millions ster ling; and at last all this system of deception went to the ground. Let me add to this, the events of the 6th of October, and the civil war which followed those, and hence the causes of the present miserable state of our finances. Such being the state of affairs, how is it possible that the present Administration can find the means of providing the necessary funds to meet the daily expenses, when besides the evils already men tioned the revenues of the Customs are for the major We have received the following from our Lisbon correspondent The Ministerial arran gements to 19, 1847. to whi c h I alluded in my last have been dormant until this date. It seems great difficulties occurred in the forming of SAAt.TIT DAY kVENING, NOVEMBER 27. 1847 part mortgaged or anticipated ? With economy, with a good system in the collection of the revenue, with a reduction in the interest of the debt, and, above all, sith honesty and good will, it is yet possible to re medy the malady that so seriously afflicts this coun try, which no doubts deserves a Letter fate than her present one. I shall end this by noticing the arrival of the Sidon steam-frigate In five days from Portsmouth, with Lord DALHOUSIE on board. She leaves to-morrow for Gibraltar and Malta. The discount of Bank notes is 48 per cent. Ex change upon London 54. Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. Being the day of the QUEUN'S fête, there was a grand levee at the Palace. The Eco del comercio states i-bat Senor Isru•. RITZ had resigned the embassy to Sweden, as he felt offended at the attempt made to supersede him in favour of ESPARTZRO. The Bolsa was closed in honour of the QUEEN'S fete. - We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND is the theme of universal comment, and, with the exception of the Republican National, of universal commenda tion. The Ministerial Debats says— " The speech of the Queen of Englaed is, both as regards foreign affairs and domestic policy, une of the most important and substantial that we have had for a long time. A grand act of European policy which it was easy to foresee has become public and official. The Queen of Great Britain announces that she is in com munication with her allies on the subjt et of the civil war which ravages Switzerland, and compromises the general peace, and that her Government is ready to par ticipate in the measures which may be considered neces sary to restore the blessings of peace to the Helvetic Confederation. Neither the word of intervention, nor that of simple mediation is pronounced ; the choice of one or the other of these two modes of action will be without doubt determined by circumstances which may coange from one day to the other. In any case, how ever, the principle is laid down, and Switzerland now knows that, if the bases established by European treaties ale to undergo some modification, it will only be with the concurrence of the powers who partake in the guarantee. In declaring that she has confidence in the maintenance of general peace, the Queen of England has, without doubt, in view, the state of agitation in which the peninsula of Italy is plunged— Up to this time we know of nothing that could shake this con fidence." The Opposition Constitutionnel is even more tin • stinting in its commendations. It says— " This document is remarkable for a character of frankness and honesty peculiar to governments which are really constitutional. Tnere is scarcely reference in it to anything except the interior affairs of Great Britain. A paragraph, however, which seems to an nounce the approaching convocation of a Congress for re-establishing peice in Switzerland, will be remarked. the attitude of Mr. Peel, Chargé d'Affaires of England to the Helvetic Confederation, indicates in advance the position which his Government will maintain in the Congress." The Radical Commerce is equally liberal in its praises of the Speech. It says— " Queen Victoria declares that she is in communica tion with her allies with respect to the affairs of Swit zerland, and that she has expressed to them her disposi tion to emp!oy, in conjunction with them, her friendly it.flueace, with the view of restoring the benefits of pence to the Confederation. We hasten to take a note of this solemn declaration. Peace will be restored to the twenty-two cantons; but, without doubt, peace, with all the guarantees of order and good government, which did not exist in that country betore the breaking out of the civil war, as is fully proved to us by the possibility o!' forming a state in the midst of that state, of a league capable of resisting the sovereign power of the Diet by arms. We have to express a regret that, on this occa sion, as on so many others, it is by England, and not by France, that the first true word of the situation, and the only word in conformity with the international right of the constitutional powers, has been uttered. England has spoken of friendly influence; but M. Guizot, in the name of France, ha I dared to cause an armed interven Lion to be hoped fur; he had even proposed it to M. de Metternich, as an article in the German Joarnal of Frankfort proves to us." The National says nothing concerning the allusion to Switzerland. It or.ly revels in the idea that " Ireland remains attached to the side of Eng land like a gnawing cancer." The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance con voking the Chambers for the 28th of December. The Constitutionnel has the following :—" It is an nounced that Marshal SEUASTIANI has waited on the KING to protest, in the name of a great number of lieutenant-generals, against the projected nomination to the rank of lieutenant-general of a major-general who at this moment fulfils high administrative functions." A Cabinet Council was held at the Tuileries on Wednesday, over which the KING presided in person. PARIS BOLTIIBE, Nov. 25.—The tenor of the Speech of the Queen of England has had the effect of giving ad ditional firmness to our market, although the advance in prices has not been material. Threes opened at 76f. 90.1., and after reaching 77f. closed firm at 76f. 95c. Fives were list called at 1161. 30e. New Loan at 761. 70e. The market closed as follows:—Three per Cents. for cash, 76f. 95e.;' for account, 76f. 95c. Five per Cents., for cash, 116 f. 30c.; for account, 116 f. 30c.

Ramways.—The Share Market has been also pretty firm; and moat of the lines in fair demand, and quota tions generally somewhat in advance of the close of yesterday. For cash, Paris and Orleans left off at 1,217 f. 50c.; Paris and Rouen, 9201.; Rouen and Havre, 5021. 50c.; Avignon, 5751.; Strasburg and Bale, I 701.; Boulogne, 3801.; Nantes, 4011. 25c.; Northern, 5711. 25c.; Bordeaux, 492 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 422 f. 50e.; Paris and Lyons, 408 f. 75e.; Montereau, 2651.

(FROM OUlt OWN CORRESPONDKNT.) NOVEMBER 25, TEN A.M. THE WASHINGTON STEAM•SHIP.—The Ruby steamer has been lying in our roadstead since Tuesday, waiting the arrival of the Ocean Company's steamer, to take out her mails and passengers, that she may prooeed directly for Bremen should she have sufficient coal in for that purpose. She was to have sailed from New York on the 11th inst., but it is now supposed she must have been detained there beyond that date. THE BRILLIANT.—This beautiful vessel went out of harbour yesterday, and had her first trial; her sailing qualities are of the first class—she sremed almost to fly through the water. She is considered to be more than a match for the Fir famed Waterw•itch. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ave granted the sum of 8001. towards the erection of a cathedral at Fredericton, New Brunswick. Ponvsmovrir, Nov. N.—An order has been re ceived this morning, directing the Admiral-Super intendent to make the necessary arrangements for the formation of a library in this dockyard ; it is presumed to be accessible, under certain restrictions, to the work men in the evening. All the men belonging to the bat talion for musket drill are to be instructed, in addition, in the battery and field-piece exercise in future, and every officer and man is to take his turn of duty. The exercises are to be resumed immediately. HEALTH or THE LORD CHANCI:LI.OR.--We have much gratification in stating that the Lord Chancellor is steadily progressing towards convalescence. The in quiries have been exceedingly numerous, and have in cluded those of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Duchess of Kent, and a considerable number of the no bility. GREENOCK, Nov. 23.—We are sorry to understand that the barque Lady Sale, of Greenock, which arrived here to-day, about one o'clock, has had to be put under quarantine, owing to the master and several of the crew being ill with fever. The disease broke out two da) s after she left St. John's.—/Vorth ilritish LONDON MECHANICS' INBTITUTION.—Last night the elocution class (conducted by Messrs. B. 11. and L . . Smart) gave an entert a i nment to t h e members of the institution and thei r f r i en d s, i n the theatre of the insti tution. The entertainment was divided into two parts, and consisted principally of selections from the works of popular authors, which were recited by the pupils of the class. In addition to those selections, the farce of Slate Secrets concluded the first part, and Morton's farce of The Original terminated the second part, and cloud the evenings entertainment very agreeably. TflP class ex hibited very great proficiency in the several r citations, and the audience testified their approval by hearty ap plause. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather the theatre was well filled. ROBBERIES OP PLATE.—YesterdayEthe police re ceived information of the following robberies :—On the night of the 23d instant, from No. 12, Montague-so eet, Montague-square, a chased gold watch, with crest (a coronet under &stag's head), with gold curb chain and seal ; a gold snuff-box, a silver ditto, 17 silver tea :kpot,ns,3o table and dessert forks, 7 egg spoons, 5 salt spo , ns, 5 silver ladles, a fish slice, and other article,:. On the 24th, from No. 59, High-street, Holborn, 10 6ilv.:r tea spoons, 5 table spoons, and a large qusntity of electro-plated forks, dessert spoons, and usher articles of IMMENSE INFLUX OF RAILWAY LABOURERS INTO TUE MIZTROPOLIS.—Owing to the recent stoppages of many of the railways now in progress, a vast number of labourers have been thrown out of employment ; the consequence of which has been that thousands have rushed to the metropolis. Some of the principal streets were yesterday morning thronged with them, dressed in their curious garb, many of them soliciting alms from the shopkeepers. The magistrates at some of the metro politan police•courts have also been applied to for assist ance, as the majority of them are now penniless. MONEY and CUMAFEP.CI AI, GU Y, Qi A TUREI: The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bags, the Market closing quietly. Railway Shares were less buoyant. As the public, by the inform Ilion Lfr,rded in Parlia tinnt, have become acquainted with the main points of the Rank return up to Monday last, the statement in last night's 6;azeite, which is to Saturday only, is of leas importanoe. Still it is interesting to note that the p sition of the Bank steadily improves, and that the desideratum now is employment for the ample funds at command. The following is an analysis of the return to the 20th inst. -- Notes issued Increase Rest Increase Public deposits Increase Other deposits . . 7,866,482 Decrease Seven day and other bills Decrease 2,691 Government Securities 10,633,607 Increase 50,000 Other Securities Decrease 769,351 Notes 4,228,09 k Increase . . Bullion Increase Active circulation ... Decrease 732,915 The bills of exchange negotiated yesterday on the principal cities of the Continent, were taken at rather lower rates for the pound sterling. There are not any late colonial arrivals in the City to day. This has been a very quiet morning as respects reports of anticipated failures. There is a very limited amount of business doing in the City this morning. The Consul Market has been very variable this morn. ing. The value for the Account has been from 85 to 85i, and the present rate is 85k. Consuls for Money opened at 841, and have since receded to 84g. Ex chequer-bills are yet at par to 2s. discount. Bank Stock is heavy, at 187, having begun at 188 k. Three or four bargains have been made in the Spa nish Three per Cents , at a fall from 29 to 284. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are at 544, and the Four per Cent. Certificates at 83+. In the Share Market a good deal of business has been transacted this morning, but the prices are still very flat indeed in most instances. ONE CLOSING i TUCKS OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.
