BA.IiIOKETER, W.S.W.; fine. btninntflL LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1847. There is something peculiarly in accordance with the monarchical policy heretofore developed by Louis PHILIPPE, in the publication of the royal decree de claring his " most dear and beloved son" the Due D ' AUMALE Governor-General of Algeria. That ap pointment is the consummation of the retrograde course long since adventured upon by the French SOVEREIGN. It is the extinguisher to the glorious torch which was first lit in the Palais Royale by CAMILLE DESMOULINS, when, standing upon a garden chair, he harangued the people, and drew his sword from its scatbard in vie dication of the national rights. The nomination of a young Orleans Prince as a suc cessor of Mareschal BUGEAUD in the government of the affairs of Algeria is a death-blow to all th€ dearest hopes and aspi:cations of Frenchmen. TIP. , ambition which had been nourished in the popular imagination by the results of the Great Revo lution has been fiuddenly blasted, and scat tered to the winds of Heaven. That ambition ' tit as the very life which had been breathed into the nostrils of the people by the Genius of Liberty— it awoke within them when MIRABEAU emerged from a dinhonourable dungeon, and by his one voice / swayed the destinies of the kingdom—when a venal I pamphleteer like BRISSOT acquired an authority over the provinces —when a briefless advocate like ROBES PIERRE assumed the undisputed dictatorship--when a profligate adventurer like BARRAS became supreme ruler in the halls of the Tuileries. It was confirmed in the hoarto of fllo ontiro populat;nn L 1 tho arbiew ments of NAPOLEON—when the lowliest of his subjects recognised in the distribution of the imperial bounties an assurance that merit might conduct them from obscurity to renown, from a hovel to a palace, I from impotence and poverty to splendour and puis same. The population of the French empire during the halcyon days of NAPOLEON saw men elevated from the meanest to the most exalted positions, they saw the brows of commoners encircled not merely by ducal coronets, but even by the diadems of sove reignty. And if the EMPEROR awarded honours to the different members of the Imperial Family, he la vished them with extraordinary munificence on those possessed of no other influence than was afforded by their own individual qualifications and achievements. If he placed the Spanish crown on the head of his brother JOSEPH, he gave the sceptre of Naples to JoAcuna MURAT, the son of a tavern keeper. If, before the seizure of the kingdom of Holland, be bestowed the baton upon his brother Louis, as Constable of France, he nominated JUNOT Governor of Portugal, though JUNOT had to his personal know ledge risen from the ranks. If he robed his brother JEROME in the ermine of Westphalia, he made men hitherto unknown, such as NEY, and LANNES, and Ou- DINOT, and SOULT, and DUROC, and MAssENA, and MARsionr, and BERTHIER, and CAULAINCOURT, and CANLBACERES, the dignitaries of his colossal dominions Such were the incitements to distinction which had been acquired by the denizens of France ever since the dethronement of the race of CADET, ever since the Phrygian cap was placed upon the anointed brow of Louis SEIZE, ever since the tri-coloured banner flaunted over the ruins of the Bastile. In 1814, that temptation to the innate virtues and abilities of the community was diminished and partially abstracted, by the effete councillors of Louis Dix-nurr, and it was that encroachment upon the chief possession which had been first obtained in 1789, that prepared the road for Le Pere Violet on his memorable return from Elba. Subsequently Louis XVIII. and CHARLES X. attempted to deprive the people of those chances of preferment which had been preserved to them during the Directory, the Consulate, and the Empire. Louis was saved from reaping the consequences of his indiscretion by the indecision peculiar to gluttony, and by a death which had been accelerated by the habits of a man pampered into premature decrepitude. CHARLES formed a new illustration of a venerable adage,—" he west farther and fared worse." His unconstitutional proceedings ended in his degradation and banishment. Louis PHILLIPPE was then chosen by a free and powerful nation to be the crowned conservator of a Liberal co ns tit ut i on. T he son of Egahhi received the diade m and sceptre of France through the medium of that LAFAYETTE who had been sketched with so much witty exactitude by the first of the Tri bunes of Paris in the double designation of Crom well-Grandison. Since then the elect of the people has rolled France back in the gr oove of retrogression— he has broken that compact which he swore at the altar of the country—he has jeopardised the liberties of the nation by his gradual and piecemeal encroach ments—he has rendered France (France: the land from which emanated the great European cru sade against feudality) an alien amongst the Constitutional States, and the friend and ac complice of the upholders of Absolutism. Such has ever been the eccentric destiny of France ! Such has been the perfidious conduct of Louis PHILIPPE ! Since the memorable three days of 1830, the popular immunities and (we might even call them) the popular prerogatives have been one by one assailed and destroyed. The appointment of the Doc D'AUMALE to the Government of Algeria may be regarded as the flagrant consummation of those dastardly innovations. Against the youth and inexperience of the Orleans Governor-General will be opposed the vigour, and the practice, and the fame, and the genius, and the almost miraculous resources of that renowned man who is now advancing victoriously into the territories of Morocco. Before the Arabic C ossacks of ABD-. EL-KADEB the forces of EL-Am Art h aye fled or fallen. At the approach of the great Emig even the legions of ABDERRATIMAN are quailing, while the troops of LAMORICIERE are agitated with a strange and omi nous consternation. And it is arai.ost this terrible and inaccessible warrior—the wor.der of Christendom and the glory of the Mahometans--that his Royal Highness the Duc D'AUMALE is to lead the armies which have been hitherto baffled. Never has the tri-colour been placed in such imminent peril ; never has the crescent of the Islamites been. afforded such an opportunity of becoming triumph:lnt throughout INorthern Africa. The meeting at Holy Cross has taken place. A con siderable number of persons, amountsng, it is said, to over 4,000, assembled together peacefully, and dis persed without any disturbance to the public tran quillity, the only thing bordering ion dissension being occasioned by the attempts of a Mr. W. CONNOR to inflict a long harangue on the people, in which he designated the tenant right, the extension of which to their own country was the avowed object of the meeting, as to a great extent a delusion. A warm personal altercation in consequence ensued between the would-be orator and Mr. J. LALon, the origina tor of the proceedings, and much confusion and clamour occurred at the breaking up of the meeting. It was, however, merely a wordy warfare, such as might have been anticipated amongst a people so ex ' citeable as the inhabitants of Tipperary. Many re -1 solutions were adopted, the great majority of which related to a series of abstract propositions respecting the rights of the people of Ireland to a property in the soil to the extent of a full, comfortable, indepen dent, and secure subsistence therefrom, of which they had hitherto been deprived; that their subsist ence was in danger, and should be defended ; and also touching the title to property in the soil, which , they asserted might be regulated, restrained, limited or qualified by the law. These propositions were utterly useless, and were calculated to deter many persons who would be well contented to join the Tenant League, if its only object was, by legal and constitutional means, and by moral force alone, to obtain a legislative recognition of the Ulster tenant right and its introduction to the remaining provinces. It would, therefore, have been far better had the managing committee decided on merely submitting to the assemblage the resolu tion for the organization of the League, and also 1 that in favour of the tenant right, and the determina tion of the Association to use every exertion consis tent with the law to establish the custom amongst themselves. It is also much to be regretted that the chairman did not act with a like vigour and prompti tude as he exhibited in the case of Mr. CoNNon, in checking Mr. DOHENY, when he departed from the object for which they had assembled together, in order to pour forth a torrent of abuse on the Government and the English merchants, ascribing to them the sufferings and the miseries which they used the most gigantic and superhuman exertions to mitigate and alleviate. Such a tirade might be well suited for the Irish Confederation, and for the advocates of physical force, but it was exceedingly improper in the place where it was delivered, and in the highest degree injurious to, and calculated to impede, the cause which Mr. DOHENY came there to support. The relationship between the landlords and tenants of Ireland has long attracted the attention of the English people. They have discovered that there is something defective and radically vicious in the system, which requires a careful revision and ex tensive alterations. They cannot be blind to the fact that in one part of the country, where a certain custom prevails, the inhabitants : are comfortable and happy, peaceful and contented ; that the lands are fully cultivated, the rents satisfactorily paid, and that there is a total absence of those dis turbances and outrages by which other localities are unhappily distinguished. This remarkable difference in the condition of the people could only be ascribed to the existence of that i custom, as no other apparent reason could be assigned for the happy result. But, further, on investigation it will be found that wherever it exists there is a total absence of the causes by which agrarian disturbances, the fertile source of evil, is excited and originated. Such an inquiry must convert specula tion into certainty, and the great desideratum should be to extend the blessings to all parts of the king dom. There will be some difficulties at first in doing so, but they are not insurmountable. There are cer tain prejudices respecting what is termed " the rights of property " which are to be encountered. Many who would desire to attain the end . fear the means by which alone it can be carried into effect. They dread any legislation on the subject, believing that if at all introduced it will be carried too far, and that it must deprive the proprietors of the soil of all control and ownership over their estates. This is by no means a necessary consequence, but still we willingly concede the pro priety of great prudence and caution in the measures that are to be submitted to Parliament for the pur pose. It must be considered that there is no express law or enactment by which the Ulster tenant right is recognised ; that the same law of landlord and tenant is legally in force in all parts of Ireland, and that the Ulster landlord would have the same right of ejecting his tenant without compensation, on the termination of a notice to quit, or for non-payment of rent, that is possessed by any other Irish landlord, if he would so far violate the force of public opinion, and expose himself to the odiutn and contumely that would be attendant on such a proceeding. The very confidence that is thus oc casioned between the parties has the most beneficial effects. The tenant unhesitatingly will invest the greater part of his capital in the purchase of the ' goodwill of a farm, to which he gains no legal title, and from which he might be driven in a single year. He, however, relies on the long-established usage which the landlord also respects, and the bonds by which they are united are drawn more closely, and greater friendliness and better feeling towards each other exists on both sides. It would he far better if the landlords of Ireland would voluntarily agree to submit to the custom sanc tioned and recognised by their northern brethren, and the effects of which are so beneficial to all parties. If they did so, the extraordinary competition for land would be avoided, which nominally greatly enhances the rents, but by reason of which a much smaller sum really is paid to the proprietor. We venture to say that the rents actually paid in Ulster are higher in proportion to the actual value and quality woul o d, therefore, t he b t e h an more in any for theirother part interest s l o t with a good grace. We fear, however, that they will not be sufficiently clear-sighted to anticipate le gislation, and that Parliament must be appealed to. If the Irish people conduct themselves in their struggle in the same manner by which their own emancipation was gained, and by which at a later ty period the triumph of free trade was obtained, they may be certain of receiving the sympathy and good wishes of the English people, and of finally succeed ing to the fullest extent of their desires. A letter from Athens of the sth inst. says— " M. Coletti has been dangerously ill for several days. Eight of the principal physicians of the capital were at his bedside the greatest part of the night be fore last, and have, it is said, declared his malady to be incurable. Nevertheless, the chief physician of the French squadron, who was yesterday called in, is said to have procured him some momentary relief. Still public rumour gives him only a few days to live, and already parties are preparing to contend for the succession to his place. A chance shot, striking Ge neral Griziotis, put a stop to the insurrection in Eubcea, but the circumstances in which the Govern ment is placed are not less serious. Acarnania is in a state of great fermentation. Theodore Grivas and Condojani are on the frontiers with 600 men, ready to enter G reece . I n E tolia, Pharmakis Scalzodimos, and a so n o f N ot i B ozzari, with some other chiefs, are at the head of 700 or 800 men. Bairactari and Par tarichi have got possession of the strong position of Elvarico. All of them insist on the dismissal of the Ministry and the dissolution of the Chamber of De puties, as being composed almost entirely of repre sentatives fraudulently and illegally elected. On the other hand, the Government has not yet recalled from Chaleis the troops it sent there, and has not at its disposal a sufficient number to march against the insurgents. In the midst of all these embarrassments comes the illness of AI. Coletti. To paralyse the ac tion of the Government at the same time, it appears that the insurgents have no other intent than to pro test, arms in hand, against the elections ; they mani fest no hostile designs against the throne, do not Kive themselves up to plunder or any of the outrages usually attendant on such insurrections. It is be. lieved that peace and order will be restored the mo ment a change of Ministry and a dissolution of the Chamber are announced. Notwithstanding all this, perfect tranquillity reigns at Athens, and throughout Attica. There is no talk of an insurrection in the Peloponnesus ; but, it is said, that there is a certain degree of fermentation in certain parts of it. " P.S. IVe have this moment learnt that M. Co letti has, for the second time since yesterday, ex perienced a slight relief from a strong perspiration which is physicians have succeeded in producing." A letter from Naples of the 11th says, that among the persons recently arrested are the editors of the Revue Napolitaine. The greatest apprehensions of an outbreak in that city continue to be entertained. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to suppress all intelligence from Calabria, it was known in Naples that the insurrection was spreading, more especially in Puglia and the Abruzzis, and it was said that Teramo, the capital of the Abruzzi, had hoisted the insurrectionary flag. The intelligence from Sicily is to the 6th. At that date the insurgents, notwithstanding the ill-suc cess of their attack on the citadel of Messina, main tained possession of the country in the vicinity of that city, and were making daily attacks upon the exterior fortifications. On the sth the population of Melazzo, about twelve leagues from Messina, rose, defeated the garrison, took possession of the citadel, and opened communi cations with the Messina insurgents. The Italian colours joined to the Sicilian eagle is the flag of the insurgents, and it has been hoisted in almost all the small towns in the interior. It is said that the inhabitants of Castro Giovanni, a fortified town in the centre of the island, are in full insurrection. Madrid journals of the 15th have been received. The Gaceta contains a royal ordonnance, ap pointing General FELIPE RIVER°, the Captain-Gene ral of Burgos, to the office of Captain-General of Old Castile, and another appointing General AUGUS.• TIN CAMINERO to be Captain-General of Burgos. It also publishes an ordonnance creating a General Archive Office for the Departments of Commerce, Public Instruction, and Public Works. The Faro takes up the cry of the .Heraldo of the preceding day against Mr. BULWER, for having given information to the Minister of the Interior of the Afrancesado plot for seizing the QUEEN'S person on her way to the theatre. The frantic rage of these detected conspirators is really amusing. The Heraldo, in unambiguous terms, actually recommends the assassination of Mr. BULWER. NARVAEZ must have been in one of his " fits of ungovernable fury" when he so far threw off the mask as to suffer such a recommendation to appear in his journal. It, however, proves that NARVAEZ and his partisans are perfectly reckless as to the means, provided they only attain their ends, and by opening the eyes of the Spanish QUEEN and the Spanish people to the true character cf the Afran cesado party, these ebullitions of " ungovernable fury " may do good. The friends of General AMETTLER have written to the public journals to deny that he had joined the Carlists, as had been rumoured. A very small Mon temolinist band in Alava, headed by a man named GoMEz, had made its appearance, and proclaimed Count MONTEMOLIN. A military conspiracy to bring about a pronuncia mcnto in favour of NARVAEZ has been discovered at Pampeluna. Several of the officers of the garrison are implicated in it.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday, on which day the KING and the Royal Family left St. Cloud for Compeigne, where, it is said, he will be joined by Queen CHRISTINA. These papers contain no authentic intelligence either from Italy or Spain of a later date than we have already received, but rumours innumerable were current in Paris as to the affairs of both countries. It was rumoured with regard to Spain, that NAIL VAEZ had been again sent for by the QUEEN, and charged with the construction of a new Cabinet. To this rumour, however, much credit was not attached, but a rumour to the effect that the revolution was spreading in Calabria, and that it was gradually ex tending- Itself over tho whole of th© kingdom of the Two Sicilies, was generally believed. The probability of the establishment of diplomatic relations between England and Rome is evidently exciting the jealousy of the partisans of the dynasty. The Presse has the following on this subject : " The signs of an approaching political intimacy between the Papal Government and England are be coming every day more and more visible. Whilst Lord Minto has been sent in a non-official capacity to Reme, Dr. Wiseman, one of the most illustrious representatives of the Catholic clergy in England, appears to have received from Pius IX. the mission to prepare with the English Government those ar rangements by the aid of which the two countries may resume their long interrupted relations. Old Toryism has already taken the alarm, but the pre judices of the Anglican Church are in the present day much deadened, and the progress which Great Britain has made in the path of religious tolerance will smooth down many obstacles. The old Tories also cry out against the emancipation of the Jews. That emancipation will not be the less pronounced in the next session, and the election of M. de Rothschild in London is the most significant prelude to it. When England shall have removed all the barriers which have hitherto prevented the Jews from rising to the complete dignity of the citizen, she cannot allow, even if she were so inclined, the legal anathema which separates her from the Court of Rome any longer to continue. Independently of the movement of ideas, England is impelled towards this object by the interest of her policy, which cannot succeed in Italy, but by being united to the Holy See. We may, therefore, without fear of being mistaken, pre dict a speedy political intimacy between the two countries, and this is a fact which cannot be indif ferent to us." The Courrier Francais, in the course of a long article on the subject of its recent interdiction in Spain, asks why the Spanish Government, if it consi dered itself or Queen ISABELLA aggrieved, did not institute legal proceedings in the French courts of law to obtain redress, as it was authorised to do by Art. 12 of the Law of May 17, 1819, which, in mat ters of offence, place foreign Sovereigns on precisely the same footing as the French Chambers and the members of the Royal Family? This course, the Courrier Francais declares, could easily have been adopted through the agency of the Spanish Ambassa dor at Paris, or any other person, to whom fitting authority might be delegated. The Constitutionnel gives the following interesting particulars relative to the young Queen of SPAIN : " Isabella rises late, for she does not retire to rest until three or four in the morning. She sups at two o'clock. Parties who are to have audiences with her Majesty are almost sure to have to wait an hour or twe beyond the time appointed ; she treats even her Ministers in this way, and frequently they are sent away without having an audience, and again recalled at one or t wo i n the morning. The Queen listens attentively to all her Ministers say to her, but nothing moves or interests her so much as any act of kindness which they may propose to her, or any rewards which they may thesemay suggest for virt ues or cou grargaenotsusincoornedtuhcat n. is askedi occasions Isabella a l wa y s of disposition th e young en t is h h. q a u ll ito th f i e s arl k e i s n s d , n h e n s r s courage is beyond a ll horsewoman, frequently horsemanho of her suite w es om tw a o n, and p Q ro u o e f She four horses challengesh and the best , is an intrepid rosoeusswhp theich to do what she does, or to mount certain she alone can succeed in subd u i ng . Her Infanta Dona Josephs, daughter of Don Francisco de Paula,who frequently accompanied her in her rides one day, said to Your horses know that you are the Queen, for they obey you in everything.' Isa bella is very fond of music, and she does not confine herself to listening to it. In all the concerts given at the palace she sings Spanish airs with the grace of an Andalusian. Dress is also one of her delights. During her infancy, when her health was delicate, her mother, Queen Christina, would not allow her dressmaker to tighten her waist, but Isabella, in a whisper to her, used to say, Make it tight, make it tight.' The active manner in which Queen Isabella spends her time has given her health and strength. Add to this a fine figure, the freshness of sixteen, and the embonpoint of eighteen or twenty. When spoken to of the dangers which may threaten the kingdom, she laughs and replies, Occupy yourselves, gentle men, with the country; for my part I do not care either about being Queen or governing. Other kings have not wanted opportunities to live quietly and to have some happy moments. Think of what you have to do for Spain after my reign is finished; for I have a presentiment that it will not be a long one.' Spaniards, however, hope that it will not be thus." The Reform banquets continue to the great annoy ance of the Government. In speaking of these un mistakeable demonstrations of public opinion, the National says— " At the very moment we are writing, a numerous and patriotic reunion is taking place at Saint Quentin. It follows after that of Soissons, of which we have already spoken. M. Odilon Barrot, who is present at that banquet, delivered at the preceding dinner a re markable speech, which, we regret, reached us too late for publication. We congratulate the chief of the Left' upon his activity during the interval of the Parliamentary sessions. He fulfils a duty, and gives an excellent example. The rare gift of ex tempore speaking, which is among his numerous talents, furnishes him with new means to display eloquence on every fresh occasion. The innumerable scandals of which the corrupt links attach themselves to the system which dishonour our country supply So fruitful a text, that an orator may recur to it without fear of exhausting the subject. The public protesta tions of integrity which serve as an accompaniment to those scandals will prevent foreigners from con founding with the petty and miserable party which encompass the Government the great body of French society, which everywhere raises cries of indignation against the immorality of our governors. While we applaud the language of M. Odilon Barrot with re spect to the duties imposed on us by our position as public men, we wish to make some observations on the concluding sentence of his speech. Our greatest and our most alarming trials,' said M. Odilon Barrot, are not to be found in our past history, but are to be apprehended from our future.' If it be as a friend of the dynasty that he dreads coming events, he is, perhaps, right. The social movement in Europe is not in favour of dynasties, but we do not consider that fact to be a serious cause of uneasiness for men devoted to the greatness and prosperity of a country." The same journal contends that the recent ap pointment of two Marshals is illegal, and insinuates that the nomination of General Domi is a " job." It stays tie— " We have not the slightest intention of calling in question the honourable services rendered by Generals Heine and Dode de la Brunerie. General Reille filled with the greatest distinction important commands in the armies of the Empire, and his name is connected with all the glories of that period. General Dode is an officer of unquestionable merit, who, since the death of General Haxo, ranks as our first military engineer; but he does not fulfil the conditions pre scribed by the law except by having been, in 1823, commander-in-chief of the engineers attached to the army sent into Spain under the orders of the Doke d'Angouleme. It is therefore strange that, after the revolution of 1830, services rendered in that expe dition, which was as impious as unpopular, should be rewarded in such a striking manner. The choice of the successor to General Dode, as President of the Committee of Engineers, will perhaps enlighten us as to whether the nomination has not been brought about by some Court intrigue. But, without examining the claims of those officers to the high dignity with which they have just been invested, we shall confine ourselves to remarking that the law of August 4, 1839, relative to the organiza tion of the general staff of the army, limited the number of marshals in time of peace to six at the most. There are at this moment five marshals— MM. Soult, Molitor, Gerard, Sebastiani, and Bu geaud. The ordonnance which has nominated two new ones is therefore illegal. We might also add some reflections as to the opportuneness of those nominations. We have heard very competent mili tary men express doubts as to the advantages of the rank of marshal. Among other inconveniences that institution restricts the choice of the Government for the command of armies, and frequently imposes on it embarrassments or irregularities disadvantageous to the public service. Examples are not wanting in the history of the latter years of the empire to justify this opinion. At all events it must be at least admitted that, to preserve to this high dignity all its utility and authority, it should be conferred with great re serve, when a general should have performed some very striking service, or when it was called for by the necessities of war." Perhaps the services of General DoDE during the " impious and unpopular " Spanish expedition of the Due D ' ANGOULEME, may be the cause of his promo tion, and he may himself be again employed under another Prince of the Blood in another Spanish expe dition to the full as impious as the last, and which will probably entail similar consequences on its projectors. Spain seems to be the rock ahead upon which suc cessive French dynasties make shipwreck. The Journal des Debats publishes the following letter from Algiers, dated the 12th instant : " It appears that in spite of the surveillance exer cised by our troops on the frontier, considerable num bers of Arabs, belonging to tribes encamped on our territory, have gone to rejoin the Emir in Morocco. No doubt the news of the first success obtained by Abd-el-Kader over the troops of Abderrhaman will be the signal for an emigration which it would he in vain to endeavour to prevent. Nevertheless, tranquillity is maintained among the tribes of the frontier, and the Emir doos not cease to repeat that he is at peace with France. Our troops will only have, therefore, ac cording to all appearances, to repress partial move ments, the object of which would be emigration on a large scale. If events assume a serious character in the west, General Bedeau, Governor-General ad interim, will proceed to direct the military operations in person ; but at present nothing can be foreseen. The early arrival of General de Lamoriciere is shortly expected ; he is to assume the command of the Oran division. Great tranquillity reigns in all the other parts of Algeria. The intelligence that a judicial investigation had been commen ce d a t Al giers by order of the Government ha s p ro d uce d a veryfunction aries abroad, when it became known that do cumen t s h a d been seized in the offices of Al g i ers an d i ts environs. There is, in fact, a general panic here. J u di c i a l de gthreeamtselves. sensa tion, T especially among the is new s was scarcely spread de scents have taken place within the last few days, and everything leads to the suppositio n th a t i mportant discoveries will be made. It is to be regretted that the matter was not sooner taken in hand, for had it been, the evil might have been checked at its source, and great misfortunes prevented. 'We are assured that the law-officers of the Crown in Algeria have transmitted the orders of the Government to the provinces of the east and west, in order that inves tigations may take place simultaneously on all points." The Illoniteur Algerien of the 15th states that the Hachems and Beni-Amers, settled in the neighbour hood of Fez, with whom Ann - EL-Kaneit wished to place himself in communication, by advancing on Taza, were completely destroyed within a few leagues of the capital of Morocco. A body of cavalry of the Imperial Magkzen had been sent to summon them to halt in their march, but they refused to obey, and declared that they would open for themselves a passage by force. Nevertheless, with a view, no doubt, to avoid being attacked by the goums of ABDERRAIIMAN, they made a circuitous march towards the south, and entered a cluster of mountains through which they might have joined ABD-EL KADER. But the cavalry of the Magkzen closely pursued them, and persuaded the Kabyles of that country, who are generally well affected to the EM PEROR, to assist them in exterminating a foreign and rebellious population. A letter from Melilla, which appears in the Madrid Heraldo (a somewhat suspicious source), gives the following account of the recent proceedings of ABD EL-KADER : " Abd-el-Kader had resolved to repair to Fez to meet the Emperor of Morocco, who was advancing but slowly towards that city. He was, moreover, induced to take that step by letters from his partisans in the interior, who informed him that everything was prepared for his reception. But the Emir was surprised on his way by a superior force, commanded by the son of the Emperor, and a sanguinary en gagement ensued, in which Colonel Agar, who ac companied the eleven Frenchmen redeemed by our Governor, M. Benito, was killed. Abd-el-Kader was obliged to fall back on Melilla to rest his troops and chastise the inhabitants of Marura and Benisidel, who, in his retreat before the Imperial army, attacked his rear, captured 200 horses laden with barley, and ill-treated several females placed under the protection of some soldiers, whom they murdered. Abd-el- Kader, notwithstanding the defeat, intends again to march upon Fez. On the Ist of September, an English felucca, on board which were a Lord and an Arabian interpreter, appeared on our coast. Their design, as they subsequently told the Governor, was to forward a letter to Abd-el-Kader and open a communication with him. They offered 40 piastres to the Moor who would deliver the letter and bring back a reply. The Governor it appears would not consent to it, and refused to admit them in the place. The felucca consequently remained out at anchor, and the captain declared that he would not sail before the 20th, and would complain of the conduct of M. Benito t o th e Spanish Government." The Valmy ship-of-the-line, of 120 guns, the largest ever built at Brest, is to be launched on the 25th inst. It was rumoured on the Paris Bourse that the money crisis in England was drawing to a close, which caused an improvement in the price of stocks and shares.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a steadier market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, without any change in prices. Sales, 3,500 bales, including 500 for export and 500 on speculation. In Railway Shares there was very little doing, but the market was firmer. The stoppage of Messrs. Burt, of Manchester, and Messrs. Watson, of Liverpool, together with the re ported embarrassment of a wine agency house, aro the on dit of the last twenty-four hours, to which it is said another firm will probably have to be added; but we shall venture upon no allusion calculated to excite mis• directed suspicion. Caution, as we remarked yesterday, is the recommendation we should give to all. The letters and papers by the West India mail steamer have been perused with some interest, and afford a better account of the weather than did the pre. vious advices. There was a desponding feeling, how ever, among the colonists, induced by the extremely low prices of sugar in the English market, and it was again loudly proclaimed that nothing but protection could save the planters from ruin. We conceive, however, that so from this, it is free trade alone carried out to its full extent, for the benefit of the colo nies, as well as of the mother country, that can save the former. At present they have lost the " protection" hitherto afforded to their staples, and had nothing like freedom given them in return. Scarcely a sugar estate in Jamaica is believed now to be paying expenses, al though the crop this year is beyond an average. The arrival of immigrants, from Madeira, continued in most of the islands. The ballot is now in progress at the Bank of Eng land for the purpose of confirming the bonus of one per cent., but the result, of which there can be no doubt, will not be ascertained until after four o'clock. The Funds have been rather buoyant again, but with occasional fluctuations. Consols have been 868 to 858 for present transfer, and 861 to 86* for account. Ex chequer-bills have realised ss. to Bs. premium, and India Bonds 3s. discount. The Foreign Securities are rather firmer also. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 20 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 23 to 25 ; and Mexican 18* to 19. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. have been 53i to 54. Railway Shares are supported at fully previous rates ; but with the existing scarcity of money there is very little inclination to deal. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DA CORN E XC HAN GE—WEDNESDA- Y • Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples to-day was small, the demand for all kinds was much less active than on Monday,' nevertheless, that day's prices were mostly supported tiz the few transactions which took place. Upwards of 13,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived since Saturday. Fine dry parcels sold at full middling and inferior qualities were neglected. With Barley we were scantily supplied, yet the trade was dull, at barely stationary prices. Malt was a very slow sale , but we cannot report any further decline in the quota Prices, but the Lions. Oats were in moderate request, at full price s ' so me; Beans, however, might have b een p urchased on what easier terms. Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, bora sack and barrelled, were quite as dear.

IN RE W. W ILSON. This insolvent, who had carried on business as a baker in Bermondsey - stre et, came up for final order, and was o pposed on behalf of a creditor named Foresight for a fraudulent disposal of his property. The insolvent had taken the business and fixtures tot 751., for which he gave three bills of exchange, bu.t before they became due he petitioned this Court; t was urged that this was a voluntary act on the part of the insolvent, amounting to fraud, as by.the agree ment he had undertaken t o g ive u p possession of thet fixtures if the bills were not duly paid. His he could not consider that R any case of fraud existed; t he insolvent had taken legli means to relieve himself of his debts. The Solicitor for Mr. Fo resi g ht said that the messenger had not seized the property as to the insolvent, but as property belonging belonging to Lr Foresight, in the possession of the insolvent. His Horioua The messenger would not have done his duty if he had not taken possession of all the property he found, and he has made his ret ore" ura that he believes it to be the property of Mr. F sight.

On the last sitting of the Court the Learnot: Secondary observed that t he Cit y Count y Court Mk would shortly come into operation, and the ordinal cases would be tried in the Sheriffs Court. Th e jury, however, would be required, in cases of writs of inquiry above 201., but to prevent unnecessary trouble the jury would have notice when their at tendance was necessary, without having to attend on the fixed days. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice W.) THE MURDEROUS AT TEMPT IN MARX ILLIAMS ' LANE. The trial of John Ovenston, Mr. George Crawley, an upholsterer, for fe loniously discharging a pistol a t in Mark-lane, a short time since, and afterwards fat tempting to shoot hi mself, stood first on the paper or trial to-day, but at the sitting of the Court Mr. CLA.RICSON applied for the postponement of the trial till the next session. The grounds on which he made the application were, that the soli c itors for t e prisoner, in consequence of the circumstances that _ d taken place, were ,not in a condition at the presen . t moment to defend the prisoner. The prisoner, va. consequence of his attempt to shoot himself, had not been expected to survive till a short time ago, and it was not until the 15th of the present month that Way in a condition to be brought be fore the magistrate added to this, the Learned Counsel had an affidavit wh fore if he was allowed a short time , he could lay be the Court, stating that if time was g iven the solicit ors for the prisoner would be able to prove that at till' time the act was done the prisoner was not in state to be considered answerable for his actions. Mr. RYLAND, who appeared for the City to pro secute, said he had no instructions to resist such art application. Mr. Baron PLATT thought the case was o ne in which the solicitors for the prisoner should have an opportunity of making an affidavit stating the grounds on which they applied to the Court for the postpone' ment of the trial. In a short time afterwards the affidavit was pro" duced and read to the Court. Mr. Baron PLATT granted the application for the postponement of the trial till next session. The prisoner on being placed in the dock appeared in a most exhausted state, and several times cast his eyes wildly about the court. On entering and re turning from the dock the prisoner was obliged te be assisted by the officer. g UTTERING A FORGED RECEIPT. ••••2IfarY 4 47- Wa e d 41, described in the calendar as a widow , with uttering, knowing it to be forged, wusc e-P l i 'ar t g for a Yec out ls• 2d.

The amount for vinic e l the prisoner was charged with utter in g the folio receipt was for beer, which Mr. Aldridge swor.e. tO had paid to the prisoner, and which she never Palclh,,e the party claiming it, but gave the prosecutor receipt, as if it had been paid.
