OCTOBER 21, 1847. We frequently read in old legends of prophecies fulfilled, predictions verified, through the operation of the very means that had been adopted to defeat their realisation. In the common daily transactions of life we repeatedly find the most elaborate calcu lations defeated, and undertakings that have been commenced, in order to attain some particular object leading to a directly opposite result, and occasionin g the very evils against whi c h th ey were espec i ally directed. A close examination will show that a similar fate has attended the laws which, since the termination of the late war, have been enacted for the regulation of the national currency. One of the chief arguments urged in behalf of the Act of 1819, was, that by means thereof a fixed and uniform value would be given to money, and that so soon as the principle was fully established and brought into per fect operation, there would no longer be any danger of those violent fluctuations, those repeated alterna tions which are so deeply injurious to the productive classes,l and are so much to be deprecated by aI l any manner interested in trade or corn merce. This was considered so extremely desirable, that, although the then directors of the Bank of England felt it , n , l ecessary to offer a . protest against the m easure lay any possibility their silence might be con ' stru a e :d t a into f a tacit acquiescence in a system which took eonside y rat r . om the Bank anything like a discretionary the necessities and distresses of the commercialnwoofrld " and which, as they stated, " 'night possibly all com , :) h romise the universal interests of the empire inrelations of agriculture, commerce, and revenue," e th L e Act . received the almost unanimous sanction o the lature, its consistent and zealous opponent Legis lature, MATHIAS Arrwoon, having been induced to , lea:a . the House when the question was put. But the directors of the Bank were not the only parties who expressed their fears as to its probable conse• quences ; the protest of the Bank directors was laid before the then:Chancellor of the Exchequer for the consideration of the Ministry, but that of nearly 500 of the most respectable merchants of the city of Lon don, was presented to Parliament, in the constitutional form of a petition, in which they expressed their opi nion " that it would tend to a forced, precipitate, and highl,p injurious contraction of the circulating medium of the country, and that the consequences of such contraction would be to add to the burden of the public debt, greatly to increase the pressure of the taxes, to lower the value of all landed and commer -414 property, seriously to affect both public and pri vate credit, to embarrass and reduce all the ope rations of agriculture, manufactures andcommerce, and to throw out of employment (as in the calamitous year of 1816)0 great proportion of the industrious and labouring classes of the community." Never was the warning voice of a prophet poured forth to more incredulous ears. Never was a vaticination more thoroughly disregarded, and seldom has theca been a more perfect realisation of a foreboding. The Trojans were not more indifferent to the predictions of CASSANDRA than the Legislature to the arguments of those merchants who, from their past experience and their own observations of the fatal effects of a restricted currency whenever it was attempted to be introduced, drew their deductions that similar results would necessarily follow similar causes. Sir CHARLES WOOD himself could not be more confident " that there was not any just cause for the apprehen sion which the mercantile body seemed to entertain." The flippant assurance of Mr. RICARDO, " that the whole question was one of three per cent." (an opinion which he afterwards admitted to be erroneous), was received with greater attention, and had more weight attached to it, than the calm and deliberate declara tion of men whose whole lives were devoted to com mercial pursuits, and who must, indeed, have been very stupid if they were not competent to form a sound judgment of the effects of the monetary restrictions on their business operations. Well, the Act was carried almost by acclamation, and, it is scarcely necessary for us to say, that it utterly and signally failed in giving that invariable value to money which it was intended to do. The changes since that period have been more frequent, and attended with more disastrous consequences than at any former period of our financial history. It was not merely that a debt of 600,000,0001., borrowed during the time of war for the preservation of the property of the country, was placed as a permanent burden on the industry, the labour of the people, but it was now required' to be liquidated in a currency very different from that in which it was contracted, and.its weight thereby nearly doubled. Re strictions toe were imposed wholly inconsistent with the national prosperity, and which prevented the pos sibility of maintaining that amount of circulation which was required to supply the wants of commerce and active industry. Need we point to the crises of 1825, 1830 to 1832, 1833 to 1837, or of 1839 ? In every instance the prosperity was accompanied by an in creased circulation of bank notes, to which it was fairly attributable; and the misery and calamity that ensued was attended, and indeed we may say, occa sioned, by the reduction of the amount, and the con sequent depreciation in the value of every description of property. As if the country had already not suffered suffi ciently from the ill-considered and injurious Act of 1819, advantage was taken of one of our periodical fits of apparent prosperity to introduce a new Bill, by which the law was rendered more stringent, and the Bank directors were deprived of that discretion which they had formerly been allowed, and which was exercised so beneficially for the national credit in 1825 ; all that was required from them by the Act of 1819 was, that they should at all times be enabled to exchange their notes for gold at the Mint price of 31.175.10 A. per ounce. So long as they were enabled to do so they might judge of the cause of any panic, and deal with the disease according to its origin. If the demand for money was to obtain gold to send out of the country—if it was occasioned by over-trading or undue speculation—it became their duty, as well as their interest, to withhold the accommodation by which this spirit might be increased and fostered, and to put on the screw; but when the foreign ex changes were favourable, when the necessity and pressure was purely domestic, there would be no such necessity. On the contrary, it would become expe dient to exhibit confidence, to issue freely their notes, which are quite acceptable to the whole trading popu lation, and thus to avert the unreasonable fears, the absurd panic, that would cause greater mischief than a real calamity; this however, is not now lawful, they cannot by any act of theirs remedy such a panic, and the national credit may be destroyed—the people may be sacrificed to preserve the security of the standard. The object of this Act was to enforce the retention of gold in the country, or to bring it back if it should by any means be exported, but this may likewise operate in a manner wholly different from the intentions of its originators. The wide- I - 41414 1 Egghtgif f Igme 2 :' l l - ;-7117 1,1 ,!- \Viiiicektfvfiirnia. ie solvency of British merchants cannot now be relied on, as in former days. The value of Bills on England are, consequently depreciated, from the fear that they may be returned dishonoured, and payments in other lands can therefore be snore profitably made in specie than by bills, and as a na- tural result the bullion will still leave the country, no matter how anxiously our rulers may endeavour to retain it. Either that must be the case, or there must be a total cessation of our commercial pursuits, and all classes must be exposed to the greatest misery and privations, and for what ? " That the integrity of the standard may be preserved !" Lucca is emancipated. By his spontaneous abdi cation, the son of the late ex-Queen of ETRURIA. has anticipated the change which would have resulted immediately upon the decease of the ex-Empress MARIA LOUISA. Lucca is not only emancipated from the thraldom of this most incompetent personage, but its perpetual prosperity is ensured by its incorpo ration with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Ulti mately this fortunate transference of authority would have been inevitable, but the recent move ments made throughout the Peninsula by the So vereigns of Piedmont, Tuscany, and the Papal States have so far affected the ruler of the duchy of Lucca as to precipitate him from the throne of that principality before the demise of MARIA Loum had removed him to the presidency of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla. Before we comment upon the advantages which must necessarily result, not merely to the Lucchese themselves, but relatively to the Italian population in the aggregate, from the moral consequences of this dynastic alteration, it may be advisable to recapitu late the outlines of the arrangement entered into in 181,5, by the Sovereigns of Europe, in reference to the order of succession in the smaller principalities of the Roman peninsula. By that most memorable, because most recent and comprehensive of treaties, the Treaty of Vienna, the ducal, grand ducal, and regal crowns of Italy were placed contingently upon the brows of different distinguished personages. And among other remarkable stipulations entered into by Great Britain, Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, and Spain, the 101st and 102 d articles ordained that Lucca should be granted to the daughter of King CHARLES IV., of the last-mentioned kingdom , the Infanta MARIA LOUISA, ex-Queen of Etruria, and to her male descendants. Providing, however, that the ducal throne of Lucca were vacated by the death of the INFANTA and her male descendants, or in the event of their accession to another principality, the duchy of Lucca was rendered the property in re version of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. That the latter contingency was inevitable, is manifest from a supplemental treaty, dated the 10th of June, 1817, which ordained that the duchies of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla should, upon the decease of the reign ing Archduchess, MARIA LOUISA, ex-Empress of the French, be transferred to the possession of the FANTA or her male descendants. Until the death or abdication of the august widow of the Emperor NA POLEON, the Spanish Bourbons were, however, to be sustained in their sovereignty over the Lucchese, and their revenues were to be enhanced by the annual payment of 500,000 f., abstracted from the income derivable from Bohemian property called the estates of the Bavaro-Palatinate. All these con ditional engagements —so comfortably dynastic, so conveniently dove -tailing with the interests of here ditary royalty, so consonant with the character of the epoch in . which th ey were concocted—have been jumbled Into confusion by the sudden and un expected abdication of the son of the ex-Queen cf tEheirßaud cem u v i a _t o .Y e e n t t it is a b ii e ra t confusion iNo c w n h u i s c re h in t f en th d e s to of the Italian peninsul a . I t relieves the couat another incubus ; it d es t roys another of the y from damn ing spells of the Vi ennese Comes ; it break another - of the brutalizing wands of the CIRCE of Absolutism ; it snaps another chain ; it overthrows another obstacle ; it is another step—and a glorious one the onward march of a Free People. The Imperial Archduchess still weilds the triple sceptre of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla, Yet the subsidization of the Bavaro-Palatinate has terminated ! The inane and effete intellect of the descendant of the ex-Queen of ETRURIA still proclaims to the world its inalienable stupidity — yet the Spanish Bourbons no longer preside over the destinies of the Lucchese population I The Duke of Lucca has not succeeded to anymore brilliant establish ments—yet his principality is at this moment incor porated with the Tuscan possessions of the enlight ened LEOPOLD ! The cause of this surprising with drawal is obvious. The principles of social and poli tical liberation had been imbibed by the Lucchese; the irresistible pressure of circumstances unfavour able to the maintenance of the Austrian interests had forced a consciousness of peril and impotence into the stagnant and saturnine imagination of its ruler; from all directions floated to his ears the acclamations of the surrounding Italians acclamations fraught with disaster to himself and his Go. vernment,—" Eviva Carlo Alberto!" attested the predominance of Liberal opinions in Piedmont— "Eviva Leopoldo S'ecundo !" proclaimed the joys of Tuscany "—"Eviva Pio Nono!' announced that the place in which the popular enthusiasm had been first evoked was on the holy and historic hill of the Aven tine, and that the brows of the Sovereign PONTIFF were crowned with the laurels of a Liberator, as well as with the coronet of a Count, and the tiara of more than an ecclesiastical Tetrarch. The streets con tiguous to the ducal palace resounded with Rossrm's hymn—the hymn of Prus—the national hymn of the Italian people ! The cohorts of METTERNICH already recoiled beyond the bank of the Po, before the majesty of an offended and a manumitted race. The gonfalon of the Peninsula already streamed in the air. The National Guards already marched under the national colours—red, white, and green. Even the Romagnese, until recently the manu facturers of comfits for the carnivals, or the indolent consumers of the tobacca of TORLONIA, even the Ro magnese were rising like one man, under the colours of the PONTIFF, under the gold and silver embroidery of the labarum. Among those classic acclivities, which of old gazed down upon the legions of the Imperia! CrESARS, the helmets of the civic soldiery were again visible, the pillar of Trajan again cast its shadow, as it were, upon the ranks of the Praetorian guard, the princes of Rome were emulating each other as leaders of the national army—they were aspiring even to the dignity of being regarded as its centurions. In the palazzas of Turin, of Florence, of Leghorn, and o!" Bologna, there was a cry to which the hearts of many millions responded—" Viva l'independenza r' Troops assembled under the windows of the Quirinal ; there was a clamour amongst them—a brief but significant clamour—" Huzza ! for the first cannon shot !'' Such were the startling sounds and sights which enforced the emeutes of the Lucchese themselves, and brought dismay and despair into the councils of the son of the ex-Queen of ETRURIA ! Such are the circumstances which have corn bined to impress him with a conviction of his incompetence to withstand a movement that is rendering immortal the present generation of Italians, and that circumstances have at length in duced him to forestall the arrangements of 1815, and to abdicate in favour of the good and sagacious LEOPOLD of Tuscany. Glory be to the memory of Gronean ! for he it was who first dreamed of the possible eman cipation of his countrymen. His dream is being realised. Another portion of the Peninsula has just been released from the thraldom of the Absolu tists, and the incorporation of Lucca with Tuscany inspires us with a hope that a similar fate awaits the other miniature principalities ; and that Parma, Piacenza, Guastalla, and Modena, will, like the districts of Borgo, of Fivizano, of Massa, of Petra- Banta, of Castiglione, of Gallitano, and of Minnuc ciano, be merged into the larger territories, and be come ultimately the provinces of that regal confede racy which may, before long, ensure to the liberated population of the Peninsula the preservation of their independence and the perpetuation of their prosperity. Civil war in Switzerland now seems inevitable The Grand Council of St. Gall has determined by a majority of three in favour of coercive measures against the Sonderbund. A letter from Berne, of the 15th, says-- " Loud shouting this morning at the post -office greeted the intelligence brought by the mail from ;oh of the 17f1tP Af the _Grnd Council of St. Gall, .ch, ny a majority of to to 7a, closes the series of cantonal instructions relative to the Sonderbund in the sense of coercive measures should pacific ones fail. Never at any period,' says a letter from St. Gall, did a question excite so high a degree of public interest. During the three days that the struggle lasted, the building where the Grand Council held its sittings was besieged by a compact crowd, which not being able to find room in the public galleries, affronted with a resignation without example the tire someness of a long attendance. All the canton of Swit zerland, without exception, were represented in the crowd of spectators who thronged the galleries. On both sides the speakers did their utmost to olsfain the victory. All the arguments for or against the decision which was at last come to were brought forward over and over again without public attention being fatigued. The length of the discussion was equal to the vivacity of the combat. Having been recommenced at eight o'clock in the morning of the third day, it continued without interruption until three the next morning, or nineteen consecutive hours. I doubt if any parlia mentary assembly in any country in the world can offer an example of such perseverance, and what is not less characteristic is the steadfastness of the two parties in their respective political views. Although it is notorious that attempts at indirect corruption were made in order to weaken the ranks of the Liberal party, these could not be moved ; the Ra dicals, the Liberals, and the Tiers-parti voted toge ther as a single man against the ultramontanes. A Liberal Deputy, gravely indisposed, got himself carried to the sitting to vote, and the town of St. Gall received with manifestations of the most lively enthusiasm the news of a result so long doubtful. The federal commissioner sent to Neuf chatel returned from Berne last evening, bringing to the Vorort a letter, by which the Neufchatelese Government engages formally to take fitting mea sures to prevent all passage of arms and ammunition through its territory for the states of the Sonderbund. A new incident has just arisen relative to this kind of convoy. The d a y b e f ore yester d ay there were seized a cargo of seven cases, filled with arms and ammunition, at Rheinfelden, in the canton of Argau ; this cargo, which, it is said, came from Strasburg by Bale, was addressed to the Custom-house of Zurich, without doubt to elude the vigilant look-out that is kept ; for if it be shown that it is really the communal council of that place which commanded these arms, it will be responsible for such an act to the Government, but it is generally supposed that the intercept e d cargo was intended to be carried to the primitive cantons by the aid of conser vative einployes at Zurich. The news from Morat an nounces that all the militia of that district repaired yesterday to the Prefecture to declare that they re fused to accede to the summons sent them to go and swell the numbers of the Sonderbund troops. This determination has caused a great irritation in the ultramontane party, and the most violent measures have been proposed in the Council of State of Friburg by the deputy at the Diet, Fournier, for the purpose of overcoming the resistance of the district of Morat. The Federal Council of War (the highest military authority of the Confederation) has been sitting for the last two days, and is busy in devising means to place the federal army in a state to respond to the appeal which will be made to it by the Diet. Ac cording to letters from Vienna, the Austrian Cabinet has given orders to concentrate on the frontiers of Switzerland an army of from 20,000 to 30,000 men. On its side, the Gazette de Bale announces that, on the French frontier, orders have also arrived to pre pare military cantonments in several localities of the department of the Haut-Rhin." Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived— The Ileraldo gives the following, which may be considered as the official account of the reconciliation of the QUEEN and her husband, and of the reception of the latter at the Palace on the 14th : " When the present Cabinet arrived at rower - the first object of its efforts was to bring about a result which the situation of the country urgently de manded. To attain that object, the influence of the Nuncio of his Holiness, whose sacred character gave him great authority in a matter of the kind, was, among other measures, employed. The efforts of Mgr. Brunelli, in conjunction with the removal already effected of some of the principal obstacles to the reconciliation, completely attained the desired object. His Majesty the King heard with the bene volence which characterises him the reasons which were urged by the representative of Pius IX., and did not delay to accede to the ardent desire of all Spaniards. Her Majesty the Queen having been in formedroyal permission forthisisiohappy the result, deigned of her g nedto concede her Consort_ to the P a l ace of Madrid, and in the morn ing of yesterday the President of the Council of Ministers hastened to convey to the Pao the august words which sealed the reconciliation, and which put an end to that painful state of things, which by the meliation of God has just disappeared for ever. At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th, the Duke of Valencia, in company with Mgr. Brunelli left Madrid to place themselves at the orders of the King, and to accompany him to the uroyal palace; and in a little time after his Majesty c me away in v. carriage with the President of the Council of Minis ters, and the Nuncio of his Holiness, followed in another coach by his suite, composed of the Marquis de Alcanices, the Marquis de Castelar, and the Marquis de Palacious. In the meanwhile the Cap tain-General of Madrid, with an escort of cavalry, was waiting for his Majesty at the Puerta de Hierro and the political chief was waiting with an escort of the civic guard on horseback at the royal residence of Florida. At the latter place two of the royal carriages were also waiting, and his Majesty en tered one of them with the two personages who accompanied him, and the other was occupied by his suite. At about four o'clock the "King entered Madrid followed from the Puerta de Hierro to the royal palace by some persons, who greeted him with repeated vivas. The attendance of the curious was, howevertpnot numerous, because the event was so unexpected that there were few persons at Ma drid who knew of it. On the entrance of the King into the palace, he was received by' the guard with all the honours due to his elevated rank, and he was joined on the principal staircase by the other Minis ters and the high dignitaries of the palace, who had been waiting for him, and they accompanied him to the door of the royal apartment. Her Majesty the Queen was in company with the Infanta Duchess de Sessa, cousin and sister-in-law of her Majesty, who imme diately retired, and their Majesties remained alone together for some time. At length the President of the Council of Ministers was called to their presence, and shortly after his Maj es ty th e Ki ng r e tired to his own apartments." A Madrid letter of the 14th states that Queen CHRISTINA and the Duke DE RIANZARES arrived in that city at five o'clock on the morning of that day, having accomplished the journey from Paris in four days and a half. They had only a single domestic with :them. At one o'clock in the afternoon they went to the Palace with General NARVAEZ, and at three o'clock they were still in family conference. The KING had not left his apartments, and up to that hour had had no interview with the members of the Royal Family. It was only on the night of the 13th that Queen ISABELLA was informed that CHRISTINA was expected in Madrid. The Eco del Comercio announces a conspiracy of the Afrancesados to depose the QUEEN. The Espanol states that there is no truth in the rumour of the appointment of General CIL&CON to the Governorship of Madrid. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 14.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17 ; the Debt without Interest, at 58; and the Cou pons, at 13k. We have received the i'aris papers of Tuesday, and judging from the appearance of an article on England in the Journal des Dibats, we should imagine that M. GuizoT has either received some un welcome intelligence, which he wishes to keep from the public as long as possible, or that he is medi tating some coup d'etat—some fresh attack upon the liberties of the French people, or the perpetration of some outrageous job. Whenever such is the case, the Journal des Debats trails a red herring in the shape of an attack on England, in order to lead the French public off the scent, and in the Debats of Tuesday we find a long tirade against the people of England, anent the Irish poor-law. Probably M. GuizoT may be meditating the adoption of more active measures in support of the Jesuit re bellion in Switzerland, and may wish to draw off attention from his proceedings in that quarter, but France will never consent to become the catspaw of Austria in Italy and Switzerland, not even to pur chase the Spanish crown for the younger son of " the best of Republics." France has not forgotten the barricades of July, however convenient it may be to others to affect to forget them ; and that France will not quietly submit to have her resources squandered in support of a re-actionary, ultra-montane, and Jesuitical movement, the universal voice of the French press, with the exception of the Ministerial organ, unanimously declares. Indeed, if the fol lowing statement, which appears in the National, may be depended on, M_ GuizoT already perceives that he is standing on the verge of a precipice, and is medi tating the possibility of retracing his steps : " Wh.. lb wn , _ _ that the French Government made clandestine expeditions of arms and ammunitions to the revolted cantons of the Sonderbund, in order to facilitate their means of resisting the decrees of the Diet, the Ministerial journals pretended that the arms were those which had been set aside as unfit for use; that the Government is accustomed to sell these arms every year to commerce ; and that the emissaries o f the cantons might purchase them as well as any other persons. The Ministerial journals impudently imposed on the indignant public. The following is Councilneral T o r f e ze l the truth on this odious e pi so d e o f th e ' great , without doubt on a deci sion Minister s , gave or d ers t o t h e policy' of the commandant of the artillery a t B esancon to de li ver 5,000 muskets in perfect confo rm it y w ith t h e regula tions, and moreover a certain quantity of munitions of war. The manner in whi c h thi s d e li very was :—General Ge effected gives a formal contradiction to the ver sion imagined by the Ministerial journals. When the State sells condemned arms, an adjudi cation is proceeded to according to certain forms fixed by the regulations, and the purchasers remove the arms by their agents without any mystery. But in this case the arms were taken from the arsenal, and packed up by the artillerymen, as is done with arms destined for any public service. In order, however, to dissimulate their destination, this inscription was placed on the carts which were to convey them : Machines and mechanical objects.' However the fact of these clandestine expeditions soon transpire at Besancon, and notice was given on the road they had to pass. The Prefect of the Doubs informed by public notoriety, and a witness of the emotion produced by the news, visited the com mandant of the artillery, who showed him his orders. At Baume-les-Dames the mayor was desirous of stopping the first convoy ; but on the representations of a deputy, he permitted it to proceed. When the second arrived he renewed his opposition ; and in structions were demanded from the Government by the telegraph. Meanwhile the first convoy which had passed thc, frontier had been discovered by the patriots of the canton of Neufchatel, and delivered to the authorities of the canton of Vaud. The French Government reconsidered the matter, and the other convoys were countermanded. Such is the informa tion which we have received on this dark and odious affair, from a trustworthy person in a position to be well informed." As a proof of the spirit by which France is ani mated, we give the following extract from the SiZcle, the organ of the ODILON BARROT party, a party which has hitherto professed, and professed sincerely, sentiments of the greatest loyalty to the dynasty• " Courage," says the Sicle, addressing the Govern ment, " courage. Go on to the utmost. Show the world to what extent a Government of Parvenus can carry their passion for apostacy. These excesses were, perhaps, necessary to bring back the whole of France to one unanimous sentiment of reprobation and contempt. Go on —one step more—and, as a great orator has told, the light will shine forth, and justice will be done." In commenting on this passage, the National calls upon those who have hitherto supported the dynasty to awake from their dreams, and thus explains the motives which induce the French Government to aid the Sonderbund. " A powerful interest alone," says the National, " could / have induced the Government to violate the neutrality of Switzerland, which is guaranteed by treaties. Most assuredly it is not in the cause of justice that such violation is to take place ; the right is on the side of the Diet, but the interests of the dynasty are to be considered before justice, and as the Siecle justly observes, that interest has prevailed. The system hostile in its domestic policy to every idea of reform or of progress, is forced in its foreign policy to be the adversary of every approach to a liberal movement, or a democratic ten- dency. Its reactionary policy would fain destroy for its own private profit the rights of other nations, and our own liberties. Absolutism abroad, and tyranny at home, these are its objects and its aims." A reform banquet was to have taken place at Cosne on the 17th, but has been postponed for a few days, in consequence of a disagreement between some of the persons engaged in g etting it up. In order, as it was supposed, that th e KING'S health should not b e given at this banquet, it was proposed by some of the members of the committee that no toast unconnected with electoral and Parliamentary reform should be given. The proposition being rejected by the ma. jority, M. GAMBON, one of the minority, an d a Judge of the Tribunalof Cosne, published a letter, in which he charges the majority of the committee with having resolved on giving the toast objected to by his own party, to prevent the leading reformers of Cosne from attending the banquet. This disagree ment has led to the postponement of the manifesta tion ; and we learn from the Moniteur that a prosecu tion has been ordered by the Minister of Justice against M. GAMBON for breach of discipline in pub lishing the letter in question. The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 16th instant contains the following notice issued by the Chamber of Commerce of that city : " Marseilles, Oct. 14. " It follows, from a decree of the Supreme Magis trate of the Board of Health at Naples, that spun cottons, imported from England, France, or Austria, will not be admitted to free pratique unless they be accompalied by a certificate of the superior authori ties of the district, proving that the said cottons were spun there. The certificate, moreover, must be veri fied by the Consul of the Two Sicilies, attesting the signature and character of the agent by whom it was delivered. In the absence of such a document the cottons declared at the Customs'-office shall be re moved to the lazaretto to be purified, according to the regulations in force, and agreeably to the decree issued on the 30th of June last, in consequence of the appearance of the yellow fever at Vera Cruz " It is said that CABRERA was at Nice last week, where he remaioed two days, and from whence he proceeded to Genoa.

TH SUN, LONDON, I. 4 fitiliSDAY EVENING-4 OCTOBER fit; 1847. PORTUGAL. By her Majesty's steam frigate Sidon, Captain Henderson, C 8., which anchored at Spithead this morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, we have advices from Lisbon to the 14th inst. inclusive. Count Bomrin and his companions in misfortune were landed at Lisbon in safety from the Terrible, without any demonstration having been made either by the Cabralists or Putulea parties. Our letter contains full particulars of the delivery of these gentlemen to Captain Ramsey, and of the outward and home voyage of the Terrible. The meeting of the Central Election Committee, presided over by Count de Thomar, which took place on Sunday, was attended by 3,000 well dressed and respectable looking persons. The registration, whether by fair means or fuul, is going so hard against the Septembrists that their committee have formally protested to the Queen, and they are discussing the propriety of recom mending their adherents not to vote at the approach ing election. Lisbon was perfectly tranquil, but reports of riots having taken place at Oporto are current. The Sirlon did not see anything of the Howe, with the Queen Dowager, on her passage to Spithead. Discount in paper money had advanced to 37i. — Times. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 21 The Clyde steam-ship arrived this morning from the West Indies with the usual mail. She brings twenty-five passengers and a large cargo. Matters were still the same in Jacmel. The rebels had taken possession of the palace and the forts about the city, with the avowed determination of exterminating the whites and mulattoes, only waiting a fitting op portunity to put the whole to the sword Seasonable rains had fallen throughout the islands. The young canes were looking well. The House of Assembly was to meet on the 19th of October. The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce published a long re port on September 13th, on the Sugar Duties Ques tion; and had sent circulars to each of the islands, proposing that a convocation of delegates be held at St. Thomas's, in order to resolve on a combined movement in support of the declining interests of the West India colonists. Business was in a most de - - gence recently received thither from England Herald. OPENING of the DUTCH CHAMBERS SPEECH OF THE KING OF HOLLAND. The Dutch Chambers were opened for the session on the 19th inst. His Majesty stated, in the Speech from the Throne, that the abundant harvest this year in nearly all the productions of the earth, induced the hope that the Netherlands would be preserved from those evils which are the consequence of dearth, and from which they suffered so much last year. The state of the finances is favourable, and it was probable that, in the course of the session, the reduc tion of a part of the debt might be proposed. No event of any importance had taken place in the general state of the country, which continued at peace at home and abroad. The necessary measures for the introductiol of a new legislation into the East Indies, and which was as nearly as possible in harmony with the mother country, had been com menced at Surinam. The exchange of paper money for cash wes in progress of being carried into effect. Commercial navigation, and the moral interests of the country, con tinue to be in a favourable state. It was in tended to propose a general law on import duties this session, as well as a project of law for the relief of the indigent. Likewise projects of law to modify some regulations relative to the different branches of medicine, of the police, of agriculture, and the con struction of the fortresses. His Majesty further stated that after what passed last session in the deliberations on the projects re lative to the rights of vote and election, he had re. flected maturely on securing the maintenance of Articles VI. of the fundamental law. He consi dered that it would be a useless work again to endea vour to reconcile in a satisfactory manner the diverse opinions, which had been manifested on this subject, and he was convinced that there was a positive neces sity for giving greater clearness to the dispositions of the fundamental law, and the right of election. He should, therefore, propose these modifications in the course of the present session. His Majesty then declared the session to be opened, —Dutch Papers, Oct. 20. CABINET DINNER.—The Marquis of Clanricarde entertained the members of the Cabinet to dinner last evening at his family residence in Carlton-house-terrac Tere were present Lord John Russell, the Lord Chan cellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Auckland, the Earl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Viscount Morneth, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, the Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, and the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay. ENTERTAINMENT TO MR. W. D. CHRISTIE, M.P., AND COLONEL FREESTON, M.P.—These gentlemen were entertained on Tuesday last at a banquet at Weymouth. T , he Sherbo rne J ourna l says—" there was one p art i cu l ar feature in the meeting which distinguished it from all that have gone before it for many years past, perhaps at any time —the presence of the ladies. On the Continent we are told th at t h e pract i ce o f m i xing the sexes at the dinner table and at the social board is not of rare occur rence, and it has always been attended with the happiest and best results." Both Members delivered elaborate addresses, which were enthusiastically cheered. ROYAL FREE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday evening a general meeting of the Governlrs and subscribers of the above Hospital was held in the Board room of the insti tution, in Gray's Inn-road ; E. Halswell in the chair. The report stated that during the past quarter 6,337 destitute sick persons were admitted and relieved, bein; : a considerable increase, and that 3421. had been paid off the large debt incurred by the Charity. Since the in stitution in 1828, upwards of 250,000 patients, without letters or recommendation, have been received. SWANSEA DOCK COMPANY.—Yesterday there was In extraordinary general meeting of this company at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at which Colonel Cameron pre sided, when, after much discussion, a resolution was passed fur reducing the number of directors from 17 to 9 (seven in London and two in Swansea), and another for rescinding certain bye.laws made by the directors at Swansea without the sanction of the London board. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, when the meeting adjourned. Sir Peter Laurie has given notice for the next Court of Common Council, that the freedom of the City, in a gold box, be presented to Mr. Brooke, the Raja of Sarawak, in testimony of the . admirati on o f of the Court of the courage, zeal, discretion, ability, and disinterestedness displa)ed by him in the Island of Borneo in the Indian Archipelago, and in the peaceful establishment of order and good government at Sarawak in that island. MONEY and COJEVILI - 1.:C1Al, E WS> CITY. QUelli TER TO E, The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was rather lower. Sales, 2,000 halos, including 500 on speculation. Prices were rather lower. In Railway Shares there was a continued decline, and we suspect that this may arise from the forced sales likely to be made by any of the banks which have advanced too largely. There was considerable inquiry for shares at Messrs. Lamond's public sale yesterday, and a great many sales were effected. Prices, however, still rule very low. The following are a few of the principal sales : East Indian, Reg £1 0 0 Louvain ala Sambre Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 14 0 Buckinghamshire:.. ... 4 9 0 Northern Counties Union 0 6 0 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 ... 3 5 6 Eastern Counties, York Extension......... 7 11 0 Royston and Elitehin North Staffordshire Great Northern Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock. .... .. 0 17 6 Birmingham and Oxford 3unctioa ..... 17 15 0 The appearance of the Money Market is again rather satisfactory, for notwithstanding the impression pro duced by the reception of the Liverpool deputation, there is still a hope indulged that some relief will be aff)rded. It is said that a deputation has gone up to Lord John Russell from the Bank Parlour respecting the assistance solicited by a large cotton house at Liver pool, the difficulty probably being that, in the first place, it could not spare the amount, and, in the second place, it would be giving power to those who speculate for a rise in this important staple. We should rejoice, neverthe lees, to hear of something being done for the Liverpool people, because their energy and talent well entitle them thereto, and it is to the common interest of all parties that something should be done. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope of the 20th of August st'tte that on the frontier nothing of importance had occurred. The mercantile advices from India are rather favour able, and there was a better business doing in piece goods. The papers by the West India steamer are expected in town this afternoon. The directors of the Aberdeen Railway Company have, with their usual excellent management, just suc ceeded in borrowing 200,0001., by which they will be enabled to complete the entire line, and open it to the public without making any farther calls on the share holders. The line from the junction with the Arbroath and Forfar to Montrose, a distance of sixteen or seven teen miles, will be opened next week, and it is confi dently expected that the entire line will be ready for opening by July next. The funds have been buoyant to-day. Consols have been quoted 798 to 80 for present Transfer, and 801 to 818 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 798 to 801. Bank Stock is 1791 to 181 i. Exchequer-bills are 303. to 245. discount. The Public are still said to be buyers, but rather a large sale just made has caused a little reaction. Not much business has been done in the foreign market. Portuguese Four per Cents, have been 20, and Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 271 to 4. Mexican Bonds are 174. Dutch Two-ands-Half per Cents. have been 52 : 1 to 531. Railway Shares have been better, the low prices having induced purchases. BRITISH FUN t_) ThlS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.. (From the Official List.)
