On the 21st ultimo the popular candidate was elected Presi dent of the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of eighteen—ninety-three votes for BRAVO MURILLO, one hundred and eleven for CASTRO Y OROZCO' Could there be any more significant indication of the disrelish of the national representatives fur the con tinued supremacy of ISTURITZ ? Could there be any plainer condemnation of the policy sanctioned by himself and his colleagues ? The Cortes have well vindicated the dignity of their solemn office, so wan tonly insulted by the seizure and imprisonment of the leader of the Opposition. OLOZAGA is no longer unrevenged. What may be the consequence to Spanish affairs from this sudden termination of the career of the late shameless Cabinet can as yet be scarcely conjectured. The old clue has been broken in twain because it has only served to conduct the nation deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of troubles—the new clue has yet to be discovered through the assistance of which the mysteries of that labyrinth can be threaded, and Spain be enabled to emerge again into freedom and prosperity. There is already a confused mass of in telligence as to the nature and the constituent parts of the succeeding Administration, but little reliance can be placed upon the multitude of rumours gene rally floating about during such moments of transi tion. Upon the discrimination of the SOVEREIGN in the selection of her new advisers will depend the hap piness of her people, it may be, for many generations. May wisdom guide ISABELLA. in that momentous selection ! May this renovation and regrafting of authority produce, not merely the blossoms of hope, but the fruits of good government, of independence, of social and commercial activity ! By the latest information it would appear that the QUEEN had empowered the Due DE SOTOMAYOR—one of the leaders of the Moderado party—to form a Cabinet. Some progress was immediately made to wards the distribution of the portfolios, but the en deavour was reported to have failed through the re fusal of MON to retain his position as the head of the Finance Department. Whether these rumours be correct, or the reverse, it is certain that considerable difficulty will be found in grouping together a band of competent and united statesmen. The fortunes of Spain are dependent upon the accidental tempera ments of a few men. According as their tempera ments at the moment of application are lymphatic, bilious, or sanguine, will the future condition of the Peninsula be flourishing or unfortunate. At this moment a precious opportunity is afforded for shaking to pieces those moral trammels which extend across the Pyrenees from the Tuileries to Ma drid. Latterly it has been our pleasant duty to comment upon the signs of independence which are being manifested in the royal couple of Spain. We have recorded circumstances which would imply that his Majesty the KING-CONSORT is not altogether the cipher that had been conjectured, and that ISABELLA herself was evincing her disincli nation to be the crowned vassal of either Louts PHI LIPPE or CHRISTINA. These indications of the rise of a more honcurahle spirit in the Spanish Court were visible even under the shadow of the Arrancesado Cabinet; now that that shadow is removed let those propitious indications Le realised, and Spain will re assert her old dignity and regain her old grandeur. The good work goes bravely on. The English people have nobly responded to the cry of distress uttered by their suffering brethren of Ireland and of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. They have acted in a manner worthy of the British name, have spared no exertions to relieve the wants of the desti tute and helpless in the famine-stricken districts. Many associations have been formed for the same god like purpose. The end and object in every case is the same—to provide food for the hungry and clothing for those who have no means of protecting themselves from the inclemency of the weather. Within three short weeks about 130,0001. sterling has been col lected by voluntary subscriptions in this city alone, and that exclusive of the large sums that have been transmitted directly to the Central Relief Commitbee in Dublin, or to the Highland Fund in Edinburgh, or to local committees in Ireland or Scotland. The British Association has already collected upwards of 90,000/., of which our Gracious QUEEN and tbe members of the Royal Family have contributed no less than 5,500/., while the Corporation of the City of London generously voted a sum of 2,0001. from their funds, a cheque for which was immediately sigrbed and transmitted by the Lord Mayor, with the ex pression of a fervent hope that every corporation throughout the kingdom would follow the example thus afforded. The Society of Friends have collected amongst themselves no less than 20,0001., and in telligent and benevolent members of their body have travelled through the most impoverished districts, in order that they might judge more correctly of the most advantageous manner of distributing the it bounty, and the relative wants and exigencies of the several localities. Alas ! that one of their number, who was ever foremost in acts of philanthropy and charity, should have been cut off in the prime of life, in the vigour of manly strength and intellect, fr am the result of an accident that occurred to him vvlaile engaged in the work of mercy, in carrying c on solation to the abodes of the afflicted. Upward. ; of 9,0001. has been collected through the Famine Re lief Fund, and the Ladies' Relief Fund, under the patronage of her Majesty the QUEEN. DOWAGER. and the Duchess of KENT, has obtained most bena cial aid, chiefly from the fairer portion of the commixt.ity. But, magnificent as have been the fruits of these several exertions, handsomely as the contributors have come forward and afforded their spontaneom 3 as sistance in the cause of humanity, we look for SO me thing more—we desire that the fund may be a natzi .onal one, that its collection may be general through= t the entire country; that every one possessed of Da ?ans should be stimulated to give to the best of his ability. It is not merely the amount of the gift, but the s , pirit in which it is tendered, that should be regal ded. Many well-disposed and generous persons are deterred from giving the pittance they can spare from their own necessities, where it may appear contrasted'. with the larger gifts of others. An opportunity of nta king their offering a part of a general parochial coil ec tion, will be ardently desired by such persons, wherte they will have the satisfaction of thinking that they- have taken a part in the good work, without cat aing prominently forward. Few would withhold their shillings or half-crowns if a collector came to , their doors, who would scarcely think it worth wh to transmit such small sums to a distance, and yet :'is; the aggregate these shillings and half-crowns from the million would amount to a larger sum than , the hundreds or five hundreds of the wealthy and affia tent few. These means will now be generally affo rt led. Ile QUEEN'S letter has been issued, of which p üb lication will be made in every parish church throaa, gh out the kingdom on some Sunday in this or- the ensuing month, and the officiating minister in e; ich will be required by his diocesan effectually to e..ct the parishioners to a liberal contribution, to be c ol lected the week following at their respective dwell i; tgs by the churchwardens and overseers. Such a rajn s ive has ever been eminently successful in procuring 1; is •ge sums in aid of any object for which it has been isst n ;(I, and never has there been one that possessed great ter claims on the sympathies of every class. We can z of doubt that it will be responded to in the manner! i deserves, and that those who have been clothed Ea d fed by English liberality in the season of their bititi r affliction and sore extremity, may, on the return • of more prosperous and happier times, feel deep; ly grateful to their generous benefactors. It is scarcely necessary to add a single word ' favour of a subscription which comes thus stron, v recommended, and the imperative necessity for wh ici is so frightfully apparent. In one district alone, that; ed _ . Bantry, coroner s ' . inquests were held on no less OA n ,en persons (six men and four women) on the 1 3t h nstant, and the verdict in every instance was th e now frequent and accustomed one—" Death fr ei n starvation." Alas ! that so horrible an end should t of constant recurrence in a Christian land, forming . a portion of the wealthiest kingdom in the world. V 7; a cannot, however, refraim from quoting shortly fr Dm the charge of Mr. Sergeant HowLEr when opening the Quarter-Sessions at Nenagh, on Friday, a gent le man whose authority will be universally admitted by all parties, an d w h o d raws th e f o l low i ng grap: bic picture o f th e ex i st i ng distress. He says— " Writer s o f fi ct i on have drawn the terrors, the deso lation, the sufferings attendant on the plague of fort oer times, but those pictures of the imagination, highly coloured as they may be, do not equal those pictures of real sufftring and misery which the chronicles of the time daily present before us. Robust men, worn and gaunt with famine ; weak women and helpless children sinking down from want of food; famished human beings uttering the cry of hunger until that cry is stopped by death—even the decent forms of burial obliged to be dispensed with, and the unshrouded victims consigned uncoffined to the grave!" This statement requires no comment or addition. There is no race of people upon whom the lessons of experience tell with greater effect than the Eng lish. Their wisdom is essentially practical. In the earlier time of our history, when the lights of know ledge were not only exceedingly faint, but were almost exclusively absorbed by the monastic classes, freedom of action was necessarily limited, inas much as the national mind was enslaved by ignorance and its degrading concomitants. This is the real clue to the narrow basis upon which the different institutions of the country were severally erected. Again, the love of power and of ease, in herent in man, rendered those, in whose hands were lodged the keys of civilisation, averse to the diffusion amongst their benighted compatriots of those elementary political truths, on the general and prac tical recognition of which binges the progress of society ; and thus it happened that their own selfish remissness always constituted a specious plea to the ruling powers for not widening the foundations of our political structure. However theoretically correct might have been any scheme propounded for enlarg ing the rights and privileges of the people, the ready answer of the monopolising dignitaries of learning, who were of necessity the chief functionaries of the kingdom, was, that the people were not sufficiently prepared and enlightened to receive the boon, and that, therefore, its concession would rather impair than minister to the stability of the State. When, however, despite of this perverse obstruction to the general development of the mental faculties of our remote ancestors, the rays of civilisation, from a variety of causes-Lthe Crusades at one time, the invention of printing at another, and so forth — became stronger, and began to penetrate the notional mind, our institutions were squared in accordance with the fruits of knowledge and experience. Our monarchs of old were, for the most part, the first to perceive that they best consolidated their own power, and most effectually checked a turbulent nobility, when they conferred important franchises upon the humbler classes of their subjects. By this judicious policy an overbearing aristocracy was made to feel the recoil of inordinate ambition and selfish tyranny. Under these circumstances, popular affection, the only legitimate source of all permanent rule, but which was haughtily contemned by the nobility, centred in the Crown. These natural reverses of power at length taught the great feudal lords of England that their influence could only be usefully and honourably maintained by showing themselves to be provident of the interests and comforts of the industrious classes of the community ; and that when men have matured their minds duly to ap preciate, and fitly to enjoy, augmented social privi leges, and political rights, it is neither becoming nor safe to impede their acquisition. Whenever, in later times, the aristocracy have turned a deaf ear to thi4 cumulative lesson of experience, the people have invariably convinced them of the futility of their restrictive endeavours They did this in 1829, in 1831, and again in 1846. By the moral force of public opinion alone were the Relief Bill, the Reform Bill, and the Cornßill wrung from a morose and reluc tant aristocracy. Bearing these reflections in mind, we rejoice to observe that Alderman IlumraEsty on;Tues day induced the Court of Aldermen to pass a resolu tion, that a Bill be prepared by the. Remembrancer, to be presented to Parliament, to extend the elective franchise for the election of Aldermen and Common Councilmen. It is satisfactory to find public bodies voluntarily taking the initiative for their self-reforma tion. They thus secure the confidence of the public and evince a wisdom competent to the efficient dis charge of the important functions with which they have been invested from an ancient period. Moreover, by acting in this spirit, they prevent the occurrence of sudden and violent changes, which, in long-established institutions, are ever to be depre cated, except in cases of extreme necessity. It is quite preposterous that the custom which the leading merchants of the city of London have long estab lished of residing in the suburbs, should have the effect of debarring them of the franchise which would give them a voice in the management of the business, and in the election of the authorities of the corporation. A nouvelles ajaires, nouveaux conseils. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 2181 instant. On that day the Isturitz Ministry, having been de feated in the Chamber of Deputies by the rejection of its candidate for the presidency of the Chamber, had resigned, and the resignation was immediately accepted by the Queen. The downfal of the Isturitz Ministry had long been foreseen. Count BRESSON exerted him self to the utmost to obtain for them a respite until after the debate on the Montpensier marriage should have taken place, but so intense was their unpopularity , that even that respite c o u ld no t be obtained. They had originally started Senor CASTRO Y ORozco as their candidate for the presi dency, but he declared that, although he was a candidate, he must decline being the candidate of the Ministry, as he by no means wished to be considered as identified with their policy. MARTINEZ DE LA RASA was asked to become the Ministerial candidate, but refused, whereupon Senor BRAVO MURILLO was started. General SAN MIGUEL was the Progressista candidate. At the first ballot neither candidate had an absolute majority, where upon General SAN MIGUEL resigned, and on the ballot again taking place between CASTRO Y OROZCO and BRAVO MURILLO the numbers were— For Senor CASTRO Y OROZCO For Senor BRAVO MURILLO 93 Majority against the Ministry - 18 After accepting the resignation of Senor ISTURITZ and his colleagues, t he QU E EN sent f or the Duke of So 'OMATOR (the Spanis h Ambassad or to this country, but who is at present at Madrid), and commissioned him to form a Ministry. The Duke offered the portfolio of the Department of Justice to Senor BRAVO Muareeo, who accepted it. li e then urged Senor Morr to continue as Ministe r of Finan ce , but Senor MON declined. The Q UE EN subsequently s en t f or S enor AroN, to endeavour to overcome his reluc tance, but with what success is not known. ARTELA, SOTELLO, and General PAVIA are mentioned as likely to form part of the new Ministry. The fall of the Isturitz Ministry may be considered as the first fruits of the reaction against the Afrancesado party, which has set in since the publication of the correspond ence on the subject of the Spanish marriages. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The dispatch of Lord PALMERSTON of the 18th of January, in answer to M. GUIZOT'S note of the 22d of November, has produced a great sensation in Paris. The Debuts, the Epoque, and the Constitutionnel pub lish it without comment. The Presse, true to the tactics which have been practised by the French Minister and his supporters throughout this affair, garbles the note. It declines to publish the document, but institutes what it calls an examination of its contents, such examination being merely a reiteration of the oft-refuted assertion, that England had proposed the Prince of COBURG as a candidate for the hand of the QUEEN. The Presse con cludes the article by laying it down as an axiom of I French policy--" No more concessions to England." ThueoTthetrhrpouapgehrosut this affair in commentonthseev:re conduct terms o , f M. oizo but not more s evere than is fully just ifi e d by th e occas i on. We have always felt that when the high-minded and chivalrous people of France should become acquainted with the facts of the case, they would not be slow in doing justice to all the parties concerned. In speaking of this last note of Lord PALMERSTON'S, the National says— " This note appears to us stronger and more conclusive than the r es t. H owever, it would not appear t o us just to reproduce it, b e f ore k nowing the answer g i ven on t h e other side. W e are convinced that all judgment on the ensemble of these negotiations is necessarily erroneous, when the docu ments published on both sides have not been examined. M. Guizot bad given himself an incontestable advantage by the documents which he laid before the Chambers. He had arranged them in such a manner as to demonstrate that Lord Palmerston had been guilty of extreme bad faith ; but the latter having insisted on the publication in full—first, of Lord Aberdeen's dispatch to the bake de Sotomayor ; and, secondly, of the instructions addressed to Mr. Bulwer, from which M. Guizot had only given two phrases to suit his pur pose—it became evident to every one that the French Mi nister had knowingly concealed a part of the truth. We are far from pretending that the English Minister was incapable of doing the same. Therefore must we, in order to properly judge of this matter, wait until each of them has published all that he has to produce." The Siecle, without at all abandoning its position that :he Montpeusier marriage was a desirable alliance per se, and no contravention of any treaty, is yet justly severe on the conduct of M. Guizov IhoUL;halt the negotia tions. Speaking of the note of the 18th of January, the Sieele says— " Lord Palmerston returns again, and at great length, to his interpretation of the Treaty of Utrecht, without rendering it clearer or mere solid. He discusses, besides, the engagements contracted at Eu in such a way as to prove how uncertain and equivocal were these engagements, differently understood on each side; and, consequently, as we have already re marked, how improper and perilous are diplomatic negotia tions thus taking place in royal ante-chambers, in place of be ing conducted between Governments by regular means. In the last part of his dispatch, Lord Palmerston refers with some vivacity to an observation of M. Guizot, complaining that the English Minister had introduced into the discussion a name which ought not to have been seen there.' Ile flings back very decidedly on M. Guizot the reproach thus brought against him, and proves by a series of quotations that it is the latter who, on every occasion, brought the King's name,' the King's rerson,' and the King's will,' into the negotiation. At the present moment are not the Northern Powers seen threatening our Government, if it does not ac cept in all humility their decisions against Poland, with the revelation of matters that will compromise it? A moment will come when the courtiers, who in international relations as in internal affairs have disgracefully abandoned amongst us constitutional principles, will be punished at the same time for all their baseness." The France puts the controversy as between Lord PALMERSTON and M. GUIZOT on its proper footing:— "If Lord Palmerston has spoken the truth, then M. Guizot has spoken—quite the contrary." The France adds—" The note of the Bth of January is by its peremptory tone and its denegations a sad, a very sad docu ment for M. Guizot. It appears to us to be the completion of the kind of cross action which the English Cabinet has brought against that of the Tuileries, and in which it op poses charges of falsehood to accusations of breach of pro mise. It is no longer possible not to see what M. Guizot has hitherto attempted to conceal, namely, the true source from which proceeded the idea of a Coburg marriage."—The France concludes by insinuating that the idea of the Coburg marriage was put forth at Madrid with the connivance of the French Government, in order that it might serve as a pretext for the course it has adopted. The Commerce says, in allusion to the assertion made by M. GUIZOT, that he had informed the English Ca binet that in the event of a certain occurrence, he should consider himself freed from the engagements of Eu " Lord Palmerston affirms that this memorandum, ad dressed to M. de Jarnac, was never communicated to the Foreign-oilice, and was only produced after the event res pecting which it was understood to be a warning. Thus the ally of France, that power to which M. Guizot had made so many concessions when the national interests were in ques tion, received no notice when other interests were involved, that it would be expected to act with us under pain of rup ture. It was preferred to owe to a shameful subterfuge, to manoeuvres tainted with intrigue, a result which M. Guizot did not dare to aim at openly ; and he has found in his spirit of a rhetorician the secret of causing the France of July to lose the most ancient of her alliances by the tricks of his diplomacy." The Debats says that the reply of M. GUIZOT to Lord PALMERSTON'S last note was transmitted to London on Monday, and that it will be placed on the table of the Chamber of Deputies, together with Lord PALMER STON'S note, before the debate on the Address, which is fixed for Monday next. Intelligence from Algiers of the 20th announces that the French troops had had two sanguinary combats with the Arabs, the one at Rangia, against a faction of the Mezaias, the other in the oasis of Sahara, against some Arabs who had been roused to hostility by Bou MAZA.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. There was no alteration in prices. Sales, 3,500 bales, of which 500 bales were on speculation. American real sed 6%d. to 7 3 4 d., and Surat 4%d. to sd. per lb. Shares were rather flat. Later accounts have come to hand to-day from the colony of Van Diema n ' s L an d, v i z ., t o Sept. 7, - 1846. It is singular that in some respects the position of the corn trade there should so nearly resemble what it has been here of late. The crops of Van Dieman's Land were plentiful, and those of Australia, where pastoral pursuits are most attended to, being always inadequate to meet the current consumption, as a corollary, supplies are drawn from every available souree. With abundant crops, however, the Van Dieman's Land growers were striving to withhold their grain and keep up the market, to such an extant, indeed, that it was mooted as a serious question whether it would not be desirable to bespeak supplies from America, even at 30s. per quarter, the price in Hobart Town being already 70s. People do not like the prospect of being reduced to " short commons" without making timely preparations, and it was con• tended that if the Hobart Town speculator would not let out his grain;at a fair profit, he might soon find himself unable to sell but at a loss. As fables often impress the youthful mind more deeply with truths sought to be conveyed, possibly tke " regrator" in the mother country may recognise the faithfulness of this colonial portrait, and apply the " moral" to himself. The weather in Van Dieman's Land has been showery and seasonable, and very favourable for the sowing of maize. The Dundee Merchant, a whaler, owned by Mr. C. Seal, of Hobart Town, and having 150 barrels of oil on board, had been lost, about 120 miles north-west of New Caledonia. There has been more quietude, a sort of lull in the Money Market, becans e of the impression that some further difficulties may arise among the houses which have depended too much on discount accommodation to prosecute their corn speculations; and, although no further immediate ad vance is expected in the charge for accommodation at the Bank of England, many conceive that the course of the foreign exchanges will, before many weeks, induce a fur ther rise. So many events may "co me off"" before then, that this must of necessity be a matter of opinion based upon existing circumstances, and with the proviso that they all remain as at present. It deserves at least to be noted, that even now corn is not dear to an extent that would at all indi cate famine, or even scarcity; and that the Times has taken no accountin its recent lucubrations of the important facili ties which we now possess for importing food, cotton, &c., at greatly reduced rates. In the year 1842 the price of corn was as high as at present, and the stock of bullion in the Bank of England was exceedingly low compared with the present time, so that we may at least feel re-assured on these points, admitting that the Bank is yet drained of three or four mil lions. The necessity of caution no one can deny, however, because when the Bank loses its coin, other people must, under the present system, be made to feel some of the effect. The Funds have become very dull, but are at about yes terday's value.

TnE UNITED STATES. " In order to prosecute the war with Mexico, with vigour and success it is necessary that authority should promptly be given by Congress to increase the regular army, and to re medy existing defects in its organisation. •` With this view your favourable consideration is invited to the annexed report of the Secretary at War, which ac companied my message on the Bth inst., in which he recom mends that ten additional regiments shall be raised to serve during the war. " Of the additional regiments which hare been called for from the several states, some have been promptly raised ; but this has not beau the case in regard to all. " The existing laws requiring that they should be or ganised by the independent action of the State Governments, has in some instances occasioned considerable delay, and it is yet uncertain when the troops required will be ready for ser vice in the field. " It is our settled policy to maintain in time of peace as small a regular army as the exigencies of the public will permit. In a state of war, notwithstanding the great ad vantages with which our volunteer citizen soldiers can be brought into the field, the small regular army must be in creased in its numbers in order to render the whole force more efficient. Additional officers as well as men then be cemeindispensable. " Under the circumstances a peculiar propriety exists of increasing the officers, especially in the higher grades. The number of steels cfficers who, from age and other circum stances, have loc.en and are rendered incapable of active ser vice in the field, has seriously impaired the efficiency of the army. " From a report of the secretary at War, it appears that about two-thirds of the whole number of regimental officers are either permanently disabled or necessarily detached from their commands on other duties. " The long enjoyment of peace has prevented us from ex periencing much embarrassment from this cause; but now, in a state of war in a foreign country, it has produced serious injury to the public service. " An efficient organization of the army, composed of regu lars and voluntuers, while prosecuting the war in Mexico, it is believed would require the appointment of a general officer to take all command of our military forces in the field. " Upon the conclusion of the war the services of such an officer would no :longer be necessary, and should be dispensed with upon the re luction of the army to a peace establishment. " I recommend, that provision be made by law for the ap pointment of sue h general officer to serve during the war. " It is respect fully recommended that early action should be had by Congress upon the suggestions submitted for their consideration, as necessary to secure active and efficient ser vice in prosecuting the war, before the present fat-curable season for militt . .ry operations in the enemy's country shall have passed awa y. " JAMES K. POLK. " 'Washington , Dec. 29, 1846 " The proceedings in Congress since our last accounts have been unimportant. The House had rejected a Bill containing propositions to tk se following effect : " 1. That the President of the United States receive from any moneys in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, 30,000 dollars for the purpose of taking measures for the procuring a peat ;e with Mexico, whenever it is deemed compatible to sec are such peace by an offer for renewed ne gotiations. "2. That, in :any territory which may be secured to the United States fro' n Mexico, slavery and involuntary servitude shall be for ever prohibited ; provided, however, that it shall be lawful to deriv.sr up any servants belonging to the United States who may lave escaped into our territory.

It is well for the maintenance of the spirit of patriotism that the violators of the national interests of their country should receive the recompense of their political crimes—that sowing the wind, they should reap the whirlwind. The downfal of the Afrancesado Administration is another example afforded by history for the guidance and warning of mankind ; it is another example of the foolishness of sacrificing the independence of one kingdom, and hat kingdom one's own, to the avarice and ambition of another. A more contemptible exit for any Cabi net could not well be imagined than the exit of the once powerful, if not once popular, Ministry of Senor ISTCRITZ, At the very commencement of the legis lative session, before the Government could lay its statements on the table of the Cortes, before any pre liminary step could be taken fur the elucidation of the opinions of the representatives of the Spanish people upon the recent proceedings of the Executive, the Ministers are rebuffed on their first entrance into the Chambers of the Legislature, the wand of authority is ignominiously stricken from their grasp. This is just towards the defeated Cabinet; it is bold and creditable on the part of the triumphant Cortes. The mediate cause of the resignation of the Istu ritz Ministry was the decision of the Chamber of Deputies on the election of its President. On the announcement Administrati on not prepared i in its g o o " t h n a o n x d i hand-and-glove" d - p g o l l o i ; y e with it the will be remembered that to a o tbut one man could be f o u n d d sa id ffi a c te ien fo t r the pre s id ent i al l y b e e hai n r o , m a i n n d t ate i d iat as m a a n c w a r a i s - BRAVO MURILLO.
