One Administration has succeeded another with such rapidity in the Spanish capital, as almost entirely to dissipate the confidence of the population in the stability of the Government. Lisbon, with all its political vicissitudes and coups d'etats, has scarcely afforded a spectacle at all comparable, in point of fickleness and diversity, to that which has been visible during the last fifteen months in the Council Chambers of Madrid. With a comparatively few ex ceptions, however, all these changes have been effected somewhat after the fashion of the glittering ara• besques of a kaleidoscope. Each Cabinet has been essentially different in character from its predecessor, and yet its difference has mainly consisted in the re arrangtnent of the same members in other capacities. Some of the former officials have been dismissed, it is true, and some hitherto undistinguished politicians have been summoned to a participation in the Govern ment; but, recently, the principal alteration in the Ministry- has chiefly consisted in the relative situation of the Ministers. Another change of this description at Madrid has already been recorded in our columns. An other convulsion of affairs has jostled the Spanish statesmen into a combination hitherto unattempted— just as the stained glass and coloured beads are shaken into a novel irradiation in the optical toy already mentioned. Instead of beholding the supreme au thority abandoned to the possession of the Afrance sados that most abhorred and traitorous of factions— the Spaniards behold the seals and portfolios of office still retained in the hands of a species of intermediate party. They still perceive SALAMANCA at the head of the Financial Department, and SOTELLO at the head of the Marine Department. They discover PATRICIA DE LA ESCOSURA installed as Minister of the Interior ; FERNANDO CORDOVA, of War ; GOYENAS, Of Justice ; ROS DE OLANO, Of Public Works, Commerce, and Public Instruction ; and ALAIx elevated to military supremacy, as Captain- General of Madrid. Startling as this Administration is, under the circumstances, it is startling rather as a prevention of evil than as an acquisition of good. It is viewed with approbation by the subjects ofISABELLA 11., as having chosen rather to assume the perils and responsibilities of Government, instead of permitting the advancement of a shameless Administration under the direction of the notorious and sanguinary A.NARVAEZ. Inasmuch as Queen ISABELLA has spurned the in sidious assistance (Heaven save the mark I) of General NARVAEZ, she has in no inconsiderable de gree enhanced her popularity. By rejecting the Cabinet tendered to her by that ruthless soldier, her Most Catholic MAJESTY has achieved a triple ad vantage ; she has destroyed the little influence still retained by NARVAEZ himself; she ha. worsted the atrocious machination of the French SOVEREIGN, and has gratified her people by becoming th e i nstrument of that twofold disappointment. Spain is becoming bound to the fortunes of its young and abused Mo narch by the ties of gratitude, as well as by those of profound commiseration. It is becoming more than ever probable that, in the event of any perilous emergency, ISABELLA may, like MARIA THERESA, be sustained in her royal isolation by that thrilling and sublime oath, sworn by a whole nation on their swords—" Aforialnur pro rege nostro I" At this moment she may, with peculiar veracity, utter that vaunting exclamation of the great Lonts—"Eitat, r'ext moi !" for in her hands are concentrating the reins of power. ISABELLA. is gradually identifying • herself with her people; she is rendering the reten tion of the Spanish diadem upon her brow a matter of deep interest to the multitude, by associating with the maintenance of her authority the existence of Iberian nationality. There is an interest beyond that of romance or fairyland in the events which are transpiring during these our days in the palaces of Castile. Those who can sympathise with precocious misfortunes, w ill observe with emotion the silent struggle of a young Princess to vindicate her own character, and • 11 so doing to achieve the happiness and emancipa tionillustrious but degenerated kingdom. l of an They will not be tracking the fictitious careers of a Gloriana or an Imogen ; they will be contemplating - the strife of a living Queen against overt cupidity and latent malice. The scene of this mo t'. mentous drama is a dominion invested with a a.. thousand august and • historic memories; and the Sovereign against whom are directed all the guile and audacity of a neighbouring monarchy is a female scarcely emerged from childhood. Whatever good qualities are evinced by ISABELLA are those innate tendencies to virtue and magnanimity which have survived tha temptations to vice and the contagion of debauchery, by which she has been habitually sur rounded since the days of her infancy. Yes ! what ever noble traits of disposition are traceable in the conduct of her Most Catholic MAJESTY are evidences pf an inborn purity, the more beautiful and lustrous from the contaminating atmosphere through which they have passed with ou t o b literation. She has beenco polled to withstand alo ne an d unaided the whirlwinds of social as well as political temptation. CHRISTINA, by her own depraved and villanous proceedings, not Ittek'alx deprived the infant QuEns of her natural • prot4A6r, but raised up against her her most un- 44•:a •a v. THE SUN, LONDON, natural antagonist; ESPARTERO, the only statesman who combined in her service great military genius, extraordinary administrative capacity, and the most incorruptible honesty of purpose, was driven from the guardianship of ISABELLA by the intervention of France [and the connivance of traitors. Another chance still remained to the Spanish SOVEREIGN— she might still obtain a guide and a defender in the person of the man to be selected for her husband. How this final aspiration of the supporters of Queen ISABELLA has been disappointed—how her domestic happiness has been blasted—how her hands have been weakened and her name traduced—are facts notorious through out Europe, and already chronicled amongst the blackest crimes of History. Through all these mar vellous and accumulated perils, however, her Most Catholic MAJESTY has, as yet, passed unscathed. Alone—with her mother leagued against her, the ac complice in all the guilty plots of her uncle, Louis PHILIPPE, with ESPARTERO a wanderer in England, and the KING-CONSORT scheming again3t her in the Pardo—IsABELLA still remains seated upon the throne, and that throne is still more securely based upon the loyalty inspired by the gratitude and com miseration of the Spaniards. By the way, what has become of the boast of Louis PHILIPPE, that he would send NARVAEZ into Spain to carry his intentions into effect ? The recent fulfilment of that braggart assertion surely justifies some com memorative festivity at the Tuileries. General NAR VAEZ would make an excellent Master Mathew to the Bobadil of his Majesty of the FRENCH. It is indeed satisfactory when we are enabled to re cord instances of Irish landlords worthily discharging the duties incidental to their position, and voluntarily assuming liabilities for which, although not enforcible Ly legal proceedings, they are still morally responsible. That gratification is greatly enhanced when we find the occupants of the soil vieing with the proprietors in a noble rivalry, and, -where the persons under whom they hold their lands are unable to come forward in sufficient time to meet these demands in consequence of absence, declaring that they themselves will pay the amount, and arrange the matter when paying their rents. Such circumstances are in the highest degree honourable to all parties. They exhibit the existence of that mutual confidence that should ever be maintained between landlord and tenant. There would scarcely be necessity for new laws to improve the relationship between such men, or to insure adequate compensation for such improve ments as might be effected on the lands, in the event of the rent being improperly increased, or the tenancy being prematurely terminated. There would be no need for more stringent enactments to provide for the collection of the rates that might be struck for the maintenance of the poor within the district. The occasion that called forth this pleasing exhibi tion was a meeting of the rate-payers of the electoral division of B.athgormac, to consider the best means of raising subscriptions in liquidation of the loans ad vanced from the National Exchequer in aid of the rates. The whole of the proceedings are worthy of notice, as affording a precedent which, if generally followed, must be attended with the most beneficial results. They afford, indeed, a strong contrast to the conduct of those who only meet to pass resolutions condem natory of the conduct of the Government, and repu diating every liability on account of the advances made fur the relief of the destitute in the season of adversity. It appears that the sum necessary to repay the Government would have amounted to 3s. id. in the pound on the poor-law valuation for the division, but that the Commissioners were authorised to make a donation equal in amount to any sum that might be paid to the treasurer of the finance committee of the union. The period within which this aid could be afforded was, however, extremely limited, as it was stated in a letter from the Commissioners that they would not have the power to make any such advances or donations after the 12th instant. The necessity for prompt and immediate action was, therefore, ex tremely urgent, if the rate-payers desired to avail themselves of the advantages thereof. A resolution was accordingly proposed that collectors should be appointed in the several townlands, to collect one-fourth of the As. id. rate, or 74d. in the pound, from the tenants, while the landlords were requested to pay a similar sum, in order that the whole might be lodged with the treasurer by the 7th instant, and the remaining moiety obtained from the Government. Every responsibility on account of the out-door relief during the past season would thus be got rid of. A more satisfactory course was, however, suggested by the Noble Chairman, the Marquis of WATERFORD, who at once declared his readiness to pay the portion of both landlord and tenant on his property of nine townlands in the division, and to allow the tenants to pay their portions thereof to him when they found it convenient to settle their rents. In Ireland, as else where, it is only necessary that the initiative should be taken. An example, whether for good or evil, will be followed. The many will pursue the course pointed out by those whom they are accustomed to look up to and to respect. Had the Noble Marquis declared the impossibility of levying the rate, and recommended a passive resistance, it is probable that many would have readily adopted the suggestion, and that in place of money, long remonstrances would alone have gone to the Commissioners, repudiating the debt, and claim ing a total exemption from the payment of any part of the amount. llis conduct, however, was that of a nobleman and a gentleman, a man of probity and honour ; and it was responded to in a similar spirit. Messrs. ROBERTS and NUGENT declared their readi ness to do the same on their respective properties, while a tenant farmer, Mr. EDMOND IVALsu, whose name we are happy to record, stated, that as his land lord lived at too great a distance to attend the meet ing, he would pay the half-rate for his landlord and himself. Many other tenants evinced their desire to pay the moiety assessed on their holdings, and to receive credit for the landlord's portion on the ren day. into the question, and consequently for withdrawing it from the order of the day, there were eight can tons and one half canton ; for declaring the measure a federal measure, and therefore for calling upon such of the cantons as have Jesuits in them to send them away, and never admit any of the order in future, there were twelve cantons and two half cantons. In pursuance of this vote, a decree was issued inviting those cantons which had already admitted the Jesuits to expel them, and forbidding any of the other can tons to receive them. A letter from CivitaVecchia of the 30th ult. states that on the previous evening Cardinal LAI!dBRIJSCHINI, who had been residing for some time near that place, had unexpectedly left Rome. It adds that the Roman Government had frequently pressed him to take up his residence at a greater distance from the capital, and it was supposed that he was about to comply with the request, when, to the general astonishment, he started for Rome. The Contenzporaneo of Rome, of the 28th ult., an nounces that the King of SARDINIA. has invested Cardinal FERRETTI with the Grand Cross of St. Maurice and Lazarus. It is in contemplation to strike a medal in memory of the] protests of Fer rara ; it will bear the effigy of, Pius IX.: on one side, and those of Cardinals CIACCIII and FERRETTI on the reverse. The Italiano of Bulogna of the 31st ult. states from Turin that, on the 18th, a Council of Ministers was held at Racconigi, at which, it is said, the King of SARDINIA. signed the protest against Austria. On the 23d eight: carts laden with muskets left the arsenal of Turin for Rome. The Corriere Livornese mentions the dismissal of Count SOLANO DELLA MARGHERITA as Minister of Foreign Affairs at Turin. The Count is known to belong to the Austro-Jesuitical party. The Marquis ALFIERI DI SOSTEGNO, a moderate Liberal, is the probable successor. The Conternporaneo has been re admitted to the Sardinian States. Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived. By a royal decree issued on that day all political emigrants, without exception, are authorised to return to Spain, and all proceedings adopted against them are annulled. This decree merely interdicts the Carlists from residing in Catalonia, Arragon, Navarre, or the Basque provinces. On the first Senor PACHECO, and the five members of the Cabinet who retire with him, had an audience of her MAJESTY. Before leaving office PACHECO had written to NARVAEZ by command of the (FUSE v, desiring him to return to the performance of his duties in Paris. NARVAEZ had replied that he only waited for the appointment of a Foreign Minister to resign . the post . of Ambassador to the Court of France. The Heraldo and the Espanol have declared against the Salamanca Ministry, as has of course the organ of MoN and PIDAL, the Faro. The Correo will be the organ of the new Cabinet. The Eco del Corn mercio and thu Esperan:a are favourably disposed towards it, as is the Clamor Publico, although the latter journal expresses an opinion that it will not be able to weather the approaching financial crisis. Senor GARcIA GOYENA, who arrived on the Ist from La Granja, has accepted the office of Minister of Justice. The Duke of FRIAS left Bayonne for Madrid on the 4th, and on the evening of the same day the Duke of SOTOMAYOB, who has beQn staying at Bar ritz for the last two months, also left for the Spanish capital. General MANUEL CONCHA has been appointed to supersede General PAVIA, as Captain General of Catalonia, and General ANSELMO BLASE& has been appointed Director-General of Infantry. It is said that SALAMANCA is seriously intent on adopting various important financial measures, and, amongst others, an almost immediate reform of the Customs tariff. It is also believed that a decree, re instating General ESPA.RWERO in his ranks and honours, would appear shortly in the Gazette, but on the condition entered into by some of his friends, that the ex-Regent should not at present return to Spain. The Ego del Contanercio exhorts the Government to employ the most active vigilance to prevent zany seditious outbreak, information having, it says, reached it of certain intrigues set on foot by the Afrancesados to bring about, if possible, a military rebellion. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17 ; and the Coupons at We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Journal des Debuts presents its readers with a mere dry record of the fact of the installation of the Salamanca Cabinet in Spain, and of the publication of a general amnesty. Not so the Presse. The organ of Queen CHRISTINA presents its readers with a series of personal sketches of the members of the new Cabi net, seasoned of course with laudations of Naavala, and abuse of Mr. BULWER and England. The Pre.sse says— " The general opinion at Madrid, at the (late of the last accounts, was that the Duke de Frias would not accept the presidentship of the Council, and that in that case it would be offered to M. Goyena. 'But we cannot imagine that this gentleman, who is one of the most distinguished lawyers in Spain, will consent to compromise the general consideration which he enjoys by taking any part in the shameful intrigue which has just succeeded. Spain is scandalized at the doings of General Serrano, and ruined by those of M. Salamanca, and it is this twofold immorality of the favourite and the stock-jobber, which, thanks to Mr. Bulwer, has been raised to the state of government. Our readers may like to learn something of the men cote posing this new Cabinet. They already know M. Salamanca—they are aware of the existence of this political and financial charnelion, who, for twelve years, has gone through so many positions and e rn braced so many ideas, without ever losing his co ol ness, his sneering smile, his air of supreme indiffer ence, and always concealing, under the appearance of the most infantine simplicity, the most formidable shrewdness and the most practised rouer i e—he is, in fact, a fox in lamb's attire. In 1835 and 1836 he professed the most revolutionary opinions, but after wards, when named deputy, became completely metamorphosed and joined the Moderadoes. He then, with the aid of M. Heredia, his father-in-law, a rioch merchant of Malaga, obtained a number of Govern ment contracts, and amassed a large fortune. It is now rumoured that rash speculations have dirai nished his wealth, and that hence arises the eager ness with which he clings to power, in order to :re trieve his losses. M. Kos de Olano, the new Mini s t er of Commer ce , i s a m ilit ary man, who has fought hut little, and who handles the pen more readily than the sword. It must not, however, be supposed that lie shines in literature more than in arms. He is a sort of dreaming, fantastic poet, a man full of vanity and ignorance, particularly in administrative matters. He has not neglected making a large fortune, as inspecf:or of customs; he was for some time secretary of Gen. Narvaee. The Minister of the Interior, M. Patricia de la Escosura, was a Carlist at the beginning of the civil war, and as such was dismissed from the artillery corps to which he belonged. He afterwards joined the Constitutional party, and served under General Cordova. Attached to the army of General Serrano in 1843, at the period of Espartero's downfal, he ren dered great services. Appointed Under-Secr e t ary of the Interior bytM . G onzalez Bravo, he gave in his rest g nation, when Narvaez came into power. He afterwards turned journalist, and wrote in the Universel, a paper founded by M. Salamanca, which lived enly a short tulle. He was appointed Under-Secretary of Public In struction in the Soto-Mayor Ministry, and in thrat capacity he deceived the confidence of his colleagues to the profit of the coterie which endeavoured to overturn them, and which thanks to him did not fail to succeed. His treachery obtained for him the position of Prefect of Madrid, the grand cross of Isabella the Catholic, and the title of Chamberlain. He is a man distinguished for bravery and activity, and not wanting in general ability, though only - a sorry poet and writer. He is a man of unmeasured ambition ; his age is now about forty. General Cordova, Minister of War, has no other claim to consideration than what the remembrance of his bro. ther confers on him. He is a man of courage, and an excellent colonel, but very ignorant, and passes for being exceedingly rough and severe. He was condemned for having taken part in the insurrection of Generals Leon and Concha. His attachment to M. Salamanca is explained by the pecuniary ser vices which the latter has rendered him, and which, it is said, he is constantly rendering to his other colleagues. M. Sotelo, the Minister of Marine, is a complete nullity." After indulging in a great deal of "scolding," the Presse proceeds to prophecy that " this work of the British Minister cannot last long." It then proceeds thus It will endure, however, sufficiently long:for us to be permitted to forsee and to dread some great catastrophe, M. su.AxAzicA. is an active man, who We regret to say, however, that the conduct of all parties, landlords and tenants, in the Rathgormac electoral division appears to be the exception and not the rule. The occupiers of the soil appear little in clined to pay, while the majority of the proprietors, in place of coming forward and satisfying the claims affecting their estates, appear inclined to draw all they can obtain from the lands, and tacitly sanction the threatened passive resistance. There has been a glorious harvest, affording a conso latory prospect of a season of plenty and abun dance, with full means to the farmers of paying all just demands, and giving ample employment to the labouring population, and thus bringing their lands into the highest state of fertility and cultivation. But the entire may be swept away by persons who have compelled the occupiers to assume rents far beyond their ability to pay, and who have consequently heavy arrears nominally due to them. Such person s will care little whether the poor-rates are provided for or not, provided their demands are complied with. Indeed, in most instances, they would be rather pleased at anything that created a difficulty or inter posed an obstacle to the working of the obnoxious law, the introduction of which they opposed with such energy. But they may proceed too far. A summary remedy may be found should they persevere in such a course, and should the collection of the poor-rate be rendered unusually difficult, by reason of their improper conduct. The tithe -rent charge has been paid, perhaps, more punc tually than any other description of property, since the persons entitled to the first estate of inheritance in the lands, according to the definition thereof contained in the statute for the abolition of composition in lieu of tithes, were made responsible therefor, and the Court of Chancery was empowered to appoint a receiver over the lands in the event of the claim re maining unsatisfied a certain time after application for the amount. Let the landlords of Ireland be warned in time. They may be well assured, that if they persevere in their insane and reckless opposition to the collection of poor-rates, a similar enactment with respect thereto will be passed early in the en suing session of Parliament. At the sitting of the Swiss Diet:on the 3 , 1 the debate on the expulsion of the Jesuits was renewed. The Deputies who had not spoken at the preceding sitting delivered the senti. ments of their respective cantons but as there was nothing new or striking in their several argu ments, we refrain from repeating them, and proceed to give the results of the votes :—For not entering has need to be a Minister as long as possible. He consequently will not stick at any measure in order to preserve his position. But it will be all in vain ; repelled equally by all parties, without support from public opinion, and attacked incessantly by the press, he will not fail to find himself at the brink of the ditch, and it remains to be seen how he will pass it. Will he dissolve the Cortes ? That might, strictly speaking, prolong his existence for two months, and in that case the Moderates and the Radicals would, beyond the sphere of his influence, engage in a desperate contest, of which the issue would be equally fatal. Will he abandon the Govern ment to the Progressistas ? This is not impossible, for it is not without a cause that Mr. BULWER dis plays so much activity, and that M. MENDIZAISAL is permanently established in the office of M. SALA MANCA. The new Ministry is not the Ministry of a party, it is the Ministry of a club, composed of a score of giddy and intriguing gamblers, who have all obtained places, and who consequently represent only themselves. It is a desperate measure on the part of Mr. BULWER, and an expiring effort of M. SALA MANCA. The public mind is so much excited that the conclusion cannot be distant; and, unfortunately, it is not probable that it can be of a pacific nature. We shall on a future occasion tell why." We shall not wait for a future occasion to tell why. The following announcement in the Union Monar chique not only shows why the solution cannot be of a pacific nature, but who it is that is determined that it shall not be of a pacific nature. " We are assured," says the Union Monarehique, " that dispatches from NARVAEZ arrived on Sunday at the Hotel de Cour celles. A Council was held, and the reply was soon drawn up. It is said that considerable sums and letters of credit were sent to NARVAEZ, in order to enable him to act according to events." The considerable sums above alluded to and which are destined to bribe the army to revolt, amount to 60,0001. sterling in gold alone, exclusive of letters of credit. To her other amiable qualities Queen Cnaxs- TINA is, it appears, about to add treason against her SOVEREIGN, and that SOVEREIGN her own daughter treason to the extent of levying war. Really the Court which tolerates the presence of Queen CHRISTINA need not be so squeamish as to the observations of the newspapers on the Praslin affair. The Constitutionnel thus comments •n the conse quences of the Spanish policy of M. GUIZOT : " Ministerial and even party questions are not those with which Spain is at this moment agitated. The important matter is to know, not whether Nar vaez will return to Paris, send in his resignation, or enter the Ministry, but whether any unforeseen event will avert or render more imminent the dangers which the marriages concluded by our Government have suspended over Spain and over Europe ? It will be seen on what a thread the peace of the world now hangs. If the health of Queen Isabella should undergo any attack ; if, unfortunately, a fall from her horse or from her carriage, or any other accident, should endanger her life, the question of the succes sion, as she would leave no immediate heir, becomes flagrant, and the casus belli - reserved by England would at once present itself. If the King and Queen continue to live apart from each other irreconcileably, there can be no hope of an immediate successor to the crown of Spain. And then the dissensions be tween England and France, the effects of which are suspended only during the life of the Queen, are every day becoming more aggravated, tearing Spain to pieces, and presenting to Europe a threatening aspect for the future. If the Queen and ILing become reconciled through the mediation of Narvaez or Salamanca, and still her Majesty does not give birth to an heir, the state of things will continue to be no less agitating and perilous. If, on the contrary, the separation of the two consorts be prolonged, and the Queen de mands from the Pope, and obtains, an annulment of her marriage, her taking any new consort will renew the conflict between England and France. These are some of the mosi redoubtable chances for a disturb ance of the repose of Europe presented by the state of affairs in Spain, Suppose, in fine, the Queen is reconciled to her husband, and gives a successor to the throne—will the dearest hopes of our Government be fulfilled ? This happy event would have the effect of putting an end to all the hopes of the succession fall ing to the Duchess de Montpensier, that is to say, all the advantages of the Spanish marriages which have so long been boasted of. It would not restore the independence of Cracow, nor repair- the evil results of our policy in Switzerland, Greece, and elsewhere ; tror re-establish the confidence between the Cabinet over which M. Guisot is about to preside and over that of which Lord John Russell is the Prime Mi nister. It is this wide and deep division between England and France, created by the causes we have just enumerated, which troubles Spain, mingles foreign elements in every Ministerial combination, in every election, in every Parliamentary vote, and prevents that country from peaceably developing at home its constitutional government. Looking at things in this light, the glorious work of our Minis ters may be judged of." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales 4,000 bales. Prices were in favour of bu . yers. Railway Shares were heavy. In the Money Market there is still loss a scarcity of capital than a want of confidence, for each day brings its rumour or its fact in the shape of failures. Although we do not apprehend such disasters in the commercial world as have already occurred, we conceive that there will be much difficulty yet to overcome, independent of the effect of probable stoppages in the United States. Individual ruin will, however, as is too frequently the case, be a means of restoring the balance of trade, and if our manufacturers of textile fabrics persist in working short - hours, a far bettor course, it would seem, than resorting to a reduction of wages, buyers of goods . must submit to the payment of more remunerative rates The great corn failures began here last month, and it will depend probably upon any previous intimation con veyed to Messrs.

Some information upon this point will perhaps reach us by the next steamer, and should there be a fresh batch of paper, it may be found more difficult than upon the late occasion to induce parties here to guarantee payment at maturity. Accounts from Mayence state that the Prussian Go vernment, and the other States, having possessions on the Rhine, intend submitting to the Conference as sembled at Mayenee, a proposition for reducing, by 50 per cent., the charges upon vessels navigating the Rhine, but preserving the same classification as at present.

(le Metternich recedes in Italy, his retreat will be a check for his allies. When the Pasha of Egypt, whose troops menaced Asia Minor, was obliged to evacuate Syria, his retreat was a check for his friends. At this moment, when the Coletti Cabinet in Greece is on the point of yielding to the influence which presses on its diplomacy and finances, its weakness attests that of it@ protectors. The Isturiz Ministry in Spain could not fall without inducing a doubt relative to the external power by which it was supported. The party which has been worsted in Switzerland had also abroad a very imprudent advocate, who at pre sent shares its defeat. Now, who presented himself in succession as the ally of Prince Metternich, the friend of Mehemet Ali, the protector of Colletti, the supporter of Isturiz, and the advocate of the Sonder blind ? It is for M. Guizot to answer that question. Who compelled Prince Metternich to recede, Mehemet Ali to retrace his steps, and overturned Isturia ? Who encouraged the Helvetic Diet to dissolve the Sonderbund ? Lord Palmerston will, we are sure, readily reply to these questions." The Commerce states that during some days past a report has been circulated that an important com• mercial house in Paris had suspended its payments., Its engagements are estimated at 6,000,000 f. (240,0001. sterling). The manufacturers of Paris are said to be seriously compromised by this failure.

PURCHASE OF SHAYSPERE'S HOUSE.—The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk have sent 501. to the Treasurer of the London subscription for the purchase of Skaks pere's house at Stratford-upon-Avon. The past week has been a favourable one for the sportsman, and we understand that there has been an abundance of game. A few land rails only hare been shot. The summer having proved, generally speaking, dry, has been propitious to the land rail, and in parts of Hertfordshire they have been met with in great num bers. It is a solitary bird, affecting corn fields, on which account it is by some people denominated the corn crake. I'here is one remarkable feature in the character of the land rail, which is, that its creaking . note would appear to be close at ha n d, w hen the bird itself is a field or further off, and when once flushed upon the wing it will drop a few yards from the sportsman, and cannot be roused to effect a flight a second time. This bird is reckoned a very great delicacy, being of an exceedingly plump and adipose nature, but it is so scarce in this country that it is scarcely ever to be met with in the poulterers' shops throughout London.—Brighton Gazette.
