THU RURAL CONSTABULARY CommissioN.—The following is the proper estimate which the British Monitor forms of the trafficking and mercenary whig administration, in connection with the new-(angled, tyrannical. sanguinary humbug, called "The Rural Constabulary Commission":—" We have no hesi tation in denouncing this affair at the outset as a job of the very worst description ; we denounce it not merely as a scheme to scrape up a little more patronage and perquisites into the Down ing -street office—that would be v ery innocent, and natural enough to men 'of ' . . great occasions —but also, and principally, rew step in that sneaking but decided inroad upon the true - popular pasili ves o f the community, not only as a whole, but in its miner sul;di o lslons, which has been at the bottom of all the Home policy talkingate years. Is it not strange that men who are perpetually r. about giving an enlightened people the control over Englishmen of the powers local affairs, are every day depriv ingpowers which they already enjoy, and i n s o doing breaking in p e o e n a. that social feeling, that heartfelt regard and interestin the l ocal bear in own little district, which ' I V"Petity and local peace of his every Ire m e ie nd rational man ought to hare ? Let Englishmen are t i o hat it is from France — revolutionized France—that we of siubad th ieked-out ministry, centralization." —The fact is,this are this system of in the Ara which. like the huge deformity Entertainments, ' rides on the e s itN bian Nights' Bull, and will not be shaken off, knows well that the Poor John Bill has created such deep loathing and disgust throughoourtLaw • that an ar med police is absolutely requisitetoprot the empire,ect them from the unconcealed disaffection of the lower orders oftheir court trvinen. The rural po p u lation of Bi4land arc on the very ve rge of rebellion 1 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. (From the correspondence of Ms London Standard.) ais, Oct. 25.—The Charte du 1836, contains the following .elegraphic dispatches:— " Bayonne, October 22, half•past six in the evening. ' 4 TUB GENEttat. COMMANDANT OF THE 22D MILITARY DIVI- SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The Foreign Lel,, , iou has received 2.50,000 francs and pro visions. The convoy has been attacked at Villava by the Carlists, who were repulsed and dispersed. Some Carlists were killed." The second telgraphic dispatch is amazingly long:— " Bayonne, Oct. 24, ten o'clock in the morning. "THE GENERAL COMMANDANT OF THE 20TH DIVISION OF THE MINISTER OP WAR. " Gomez returned to Cordova un the 13th, and proceeded to wa.ds La Mancha on the approach of Alaix, who arrived at Cordova the next day. Rodil was on the 14th at Val de Penes. At his head-quarter; it was not known what direction he in tended to take. The defiles of Sierra Morena were intercepted by bands. Andalusia could only be communicated with by Estremadura. It appears that no engagement has taken place. " On the 17th, in the preparatory sitting of the Cortes, M. Becerra was elected President; Messrs. Alazaga and Cevallos, Secretaries. " Two battalions of the moveable National Guards have left Madrid for Toledo. All the Carlist artillery has been trans ported into Biscay. It is expected that an attack will be made on Bilboa. The Carlist head-qurters were removed to Esco riaza on the 19th instant." The contradiction which this dispatch gives to the false re port put into circulation in that capital, at Paris, and in London, of Gomez having been defeated by Alaix, ought not to be for gotten. Letters from Valencia state, that all communications are in tercepted. The success of Gomez has created much enthu siasm. Hopes are entertained that the young Ortaffa will be found. his father was killed, but according to a letter from Catalonia, the young man has been saved. PARIS, OCT. 27.—The Chaste de 1830 of last night and the Moniteer of this morning contain the following remuse of the last news from Spain : " We received by express the following news from Madrid, of the 20th instant The Chamber of Procuradores is very severe in its examination into and verification of the qualifica tions of the deputies and the validity of the electors. " The election of the minister of war, ad interim, was an nulled. " The courier from Andalusia had not yet arrived." The Messages des Chambres, which is " a thick and thin" anti-Carlist paper, will insist on it that Gomez has been de feated. It relies on Quiroga's dispatch, dated Grenada, Oct. 15, and on letters addressed to the Eco del Commercio, from different points of Andalusia, and all which announce that on the 14th Gomez was defeated by Alaix, the former losing from 1,00(.) to I,2tk) men. A letter from Madrid says that Gomez was reported to have invaded Estramadura, and to be in the neighbourhood of Truxillo. According to other reports, Gomez had divided his forces into two columns. The one, commanded by Cabrera, and com posed of the bands of Arragon and Valencia, marching towards Arragon; and the other, to be conducted by himself, into Estramadura. As to Espartern, he is in so bad a state that it was reported that he was about to recross the Ebro. Money and provisions were most rare at his head-quarters ; but the government had promised to send both. As to the Christinos general Peon, it appears that he has been driven away, if not shot, by his own soldiers, beeause their pay was not received by them; and the Baron das Autas had the greatest difficulty in putting down the revolt. The soldiers elected Peon's successor. Thus the spirit of revolt has gained the army of reserve. Castanon was obliged to promise shoes and money to the troops, and then, but not before, the drunk , ' vagabonds shouted " Vise la Reins" and " Vice la liberie." - The Castilian notes down the fact, that 30 brigands had ap proached nearly to the gates of Madrid. Of course the brig ands were armed Carlists! The Espaynol informs its readers that the Carlists had requir ed at Poso Blanco to be supplied with rations. This news was sent to Madrid from the head-quarters of the Minister of War, at Almodovar de Campo de Calatrava. Seven Couriers had been sent off in different directions to assemble certain gene rals. The Castilian says that Sanz was on the 13th at four and s helf leagues from the fort of St. Issidor de Leon with 300 men. In the fort the Christinos had resolved on defending themselves to the last drop of their blood. The Revista of the 23th says, that the effective force of Go mez's column is 700 infantry and 400 cavalry. The Batista National of the 20th, publishes a letter from An dujar, dated the 15th. It says that Gomez's band, being warmly pursued by the column of General Alaix at Lucerne, Montilla, awl Carcabuey, returned on the 13th to Cordova, where it was still pursued by Alaix. Rodil covered with all his forces the march. On the 14th, at two in the morning, the advanced guard of Alaix surprised the advanced posts of the Carlists. Not a Carlist escaped. Alaix did not, however, succeed iu li berating the prisoners in the Carlist bands, as he proposed do ing. Espinosa did not aid as he should have done, says the Revista, or the Carlisle would have been destroyed. The streets ' of Cordova after the combat, were encumbered with Carlist dead bodies, but the inhabitants cried loudly in favour of Char les V. The Liberal says that General Mina's health has been greatly improved. M. de Latour Maubourg, as you already know, took with him an old intriguer named Cazes, to Madrid; he has, however, left, orders having been given him on his arrival to leave Mad rid in 24 hours. It is asserted, that several holders of the Spanish bonds have resolved on prosecuting the government of Spain. M. August Hegnard, a merchant of Nantes. has commenced; be has pre. seuted to the President of the Tribunal of the Seine a requisi tion, setting forth that he is a creditor of the Spanish govern ment for a portion of the active debt. In consequence he so licits the President to authorise him, in conformity with the 555th article of the code, to put an attachment in the hands of all debtors or all holders of, or depositors of, all assets, mer chandise, or assignments upon the colonies belonging to the Spanish government. On Tuesday, an attachment was placed in the hands of 3lessrs. Ardoiu and Co., in consequence of the said requisition. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. MONTREAL PAYERS. The reply of thn House of Assembly to the speech of the Earl of Gosford at the opening of the session of the Assembly at Quebec is of a nature to leave little hope of an amicable arrangement with that body. After recapitulating his excel lency's observations, the assembly stare — "We have not deemed it necessary to enter intolidetail upon the consideration of the various subjects adverted to by your excellency until such time as, according to promise, your excel lency shall have communicated to us the reasons which have caused the convocation of the provincial parliament. Your excellency, in limiting the subject to which you have called our attention under the present circumstances, has, no doubt, been actuated not only by the motives expressed by your excellency, but moreover by the consideration that, although this house has, during the great length of the last session, zealously laboured fur the welfare of the province, and with that view adopted a great many measures which we deemed to be in accordance with the intention of his Majesty's government, our labours have been rendered abortive in consequence of the systematic rejection by the legislative council of all the projects of law calculated lo remedy the past, to protect the people fur the fu ture, to enlighten them, and advance their moral welfare, to improve their social end physical condition, and to intrust them with th ose powers an d influences on the constitution, the ad ministration of laws, and the management of their local affairs, to which they are entitled, and which are guaranteed to them by the very principles of government. 'rlie circumstance of that body having continued unchanged must necessarily pre clude the idea that his Majesty intended to harass the country by the repetition, during the present session, of scenes so dis creditable to the vicious constitution which it is attempted to uphold." The reply concludes by stating a conviction that his excel lency is sincere in his wishes to promote the welfare of the country, anti entreats him not to rest satisfied with partial re forms, 'but to ascend to the source of the evils under which the country suffers. 'the Montreal Gazette of the 27th of September, alluding to the above, says— By their determination to adhere to their demand for the revolution of the legislative council before they vote the supplies, the assembly has put it out of his excellency's power to continue l ong er his game of see-saw. He can carry his conciliatory scheme no further—he must make his election between support ing the constitu tion intact, or, f o r the sake of a year's supply, s u u rre nt i l i e c r a i it up to Mr. l'apineau and his le as h o f hungry It epub WEST WORCESTERSHIRE CONSERVATIVE ISIEETING. K iddel minder, Friday, October 8. The members of the 'West Worcestershire Conservative Asso ciation dined together yesterday at this place , in the Assembly room attached to the Lion Inn, winch was expressly fitted up for the occasion, and decorated with laurels and evergreens, and the banners of Colonel Lygon, the conservative member for the western division of the county, and Mr. yackington, the unsuccessful candidate at the last general election. Imme diately over the chairman was a white and red silk flag, upon . which was written " Church and King." The recent manifes tation of the destructive spirit at Worcester has bee n v!evred by all well-wishers of the constitution with feeli n g s of i ndignation, and induced them to come forward and express their determi nation to uphold the institutions of the country. The Hon. W. Coventry occupied the chair, being supported on his right by the Hon. Colonel Lygon, M.P., and on his left by Mr. W. 'Prow; and amongst the gentlemen present we observed Mr. W. B. Best, the mayor of Kidderminster; Mi. B. Forrester; Mr. John Brown, of Leigh-castle; Captain Cotton, Mr. S. Godson, Mr. P. Onslow (Vice Chairman,) the Rev. Mr. Villiers, Mr. J. Morton, Mr. J.

H. Cook, Mr. Kent, Capt. Smith, &c. The company consisted of nearly 200 of the most influential gentlemen in the western division. CONSERVATIVE DINNER IN ESSEX. Maldon, Wednesday, October 26. The " True Blues" of this neighbourhood dined together yesterday, in the large room of the Blue Boar Hotel here; the muster of the gentry and yeomanry of the district was such as might have been expected from the loyalty and constitutional feeling which have always been the characteristics of the men of Essex. Many days previous to the festival all the tickets which, from the size of the apartment, could be issued, were purchased, and every evidence was given of the determination of the people here to maintain what they are well aware is their own interest—the conservative cause. Early in the af ternoon the members for both divisions of the county arrived in town, and were received with every demonstration of ap plause and approbation, many of the inhabitants walking in procession, preceded by the local band of music, and by men carrying banners, all seeming eagerly anxious to evince their hearty concurrence in the principles which it was the purpose of the meeting to declare its determination to sustain. At five o'clock about 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Amongst those present were Mr. J. P. Elwes, M.P., Mr. Quentin Dick, M.P., Nlr. George Palmer, M.P., Sir John Tyrrell, Bart., M.P., Mr. Thomas Brainston, M.P. Sir H. Smith, Bart. M.P., Mr. John Round, Mr. J. Haselford, Mr. C. E. Parker, Mr. Thomas J. Tatham, Mr. S. Wright, Mr. C. E. Round, Mr. S. Phillips, &c. &c. Tll-4i—Chair was taken by Mr. J. F. Elwes, M.P. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD LONDON LAW AND POLICE COURTS. IVESTNIINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS. Mr. Walter, Secretary to the Ten Guinea Loan Society, summoned a refractory brother for £1 Bs. The constitution of this fraternal association is very curious. The members, who must be of " known good character, of peaceable demeanour, and whose general good conduct will bear the strictest investigation," inset weekly at the lied Lion. Gilbert-street, Grosvci:or-square. Each pays 4s. a week, 4d. for rent, and 4d. fur drink, and at the end of the year he is en titled to a check for ten guineas. But at certain times a mem ber may anticipate the end of the year by drawing his money at the bei;inning out of a lottery. In the; case in question the wheel turned up in favour of the defendant anti two others, whom he joined in a ticket; but he, being a householder, was obliged to guarantee for the repayment on the part of three brothers, whu had paid but a portion of the ticket. Mr. Plummer acknowledged that lie owed the money, but he objected to the addition of Bd. a week for the rent of a room which he did not outer, and the price of porter which he did not drink. Mr. Walter.—But, my dear fellow, one of your brothers un dertook to drink it for you, which you know is ii;! the same in law. (Loud laughter.) Another brother volunteered to smoke your allowance of tobacco ; but your chair stands in the same place. Now if you had been punctual you would have had your pot and your pipe, and as you were not, I think that in stead of grum bling you ought to be thankful to the brothers who took your part and did duty for you in your absence. (Laugh. ter.) You see, gentlemen, here's the card of the constitution of our society. Now brother Plummer has the use of his eyes as well as me. _ _ . Brother Plummer.—No, I hasn't, because you wears spec tacles, and outside this you sticks on a spy glass. (Laug►hter.) Mr. Walter.—Well, gentlemen, as I was saying, here is the card, and if brother Plummer was not able to read, another brother could have read it for him cud proved that the two four pences a week were insisted upon. If he did not do that, he has no one to blame but his own plumbeosity. (Laughter.) _ Mr. Plummer.—W hat do you mean by my own plumbeosity, I wants to know ? Mr. Walter was about to give the etymology of this word, but the Commissioners, fearing that that explanation would put an end to all feelings of brotherly love, told him not to mind it, and decided that Mr. Plummer was bound to pay according to the rules of the society. COURT OF REQUESTS.—THURSDAY. AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT.—The landlady of the Hope public-house, in the New-road, summoned a rade excavator for 16s. 6d. Commissioner.—What's it for? Landlady.—Beer and gin. Excavator.—Ah ! but we've settled everything hamicably. Commissioner.—lndeed; how does that happen ? Excavator.—Because 1 don't owe it all. (Laughter.) But, my good fellow, how do you call it an amicable settle ment ? You say you don't owe the money.—But I do owe it. (Laughter.) Then you acknowledge the debt?—No, I does'nt. Don't trifle, sir. What do you acknowledge ?—Vy, as I said afore—l said yell settle all by a hamicable arrangement. Now just tell us what yo - u mean ?—Won't I—now look'e year—l acknowledges as this here 165.6 d. was drunk ' • but how was it drunk, haye ? ITV she comes in and drinks half, as a matter o'course; werry well then, if so be as she'll pay half, I a'iut no objection to pay my half. You understands me—if she goes and pays me Bs. 3d., vy, I a'int no objection what somedever to pay her jest the same, and so by that means we're quits. (Laughter.) Now, sir, how much do you think you ought to pay ? Ax that there question of her, my lord. (Laughter.) Plaintiff protested against any amicable arrangement. She assured the commissioner that the defendant had not only drunk all that was charged to him, but that he wanted to drink a great deal more. (Laughter.) Commissioner.—No doubt of it. Now, Mr. Jobbs, what have yna to say ? Defendant.—Vy, jest as I said afore. Commissioner.—Well, then, sir, vou must pay it in a month. Defendant.—Werry well; and if you cotches me in our tun nel, vy (here he nodded) you may, but you'll do more nor any on 'em—(laughter)—inark that, my lord! Here the shaggy defendant adjourned to the public-house op. posite, after an ineffectual attempt to induce the plaintiff to take something "cold without" at his expense. FRIDAY. MASTER SLENDER AND Ills BOOK OP SONNETS!—A very sentimental, and withal, very consumptive looking gentleman, about 20 years of age, wearing a round blue jacket, and his shirt-collar turned down a la Byron, was summoned before Mr. Commissioner Dubois, by a bookbinder named Harrison, fur payment of the sum of six shillings. What do you say to this? asked Mr. Dubois of the defend- ant. Defendant —Say, sir, why I could write a whole volume upon it. (Laughter.) You must know, sir, i have a taste for poetry, and having some idea of setting up in that line, I writ .a great many fugitive pieces—sich as sonnets, and sich likes; and as it was my intention to employ Mr. Murray to publish 'em, I thort I'd have'm all bound up together, so as to look decent and tidy. (Laughter.) Well, sir, and gentlemen of 63 jury, this here's the book, and I mean to say the binding's a disgrace to my genus. (Laughter.) Mr. Commissioner—That's a great pity—just hand it up— (The thing was done in blue morocco, and resembled a large cyphering book.) Will you allow me to read a portion of the contents to the jury? Defendant—With inconceivable pleasure, sir. The Commissioner here read to the Court the following por tion of a sonnet to Mr. Graham's balloon 1— " Great Gawky, wonder of the !tapper skies, Oh, how I loves to see yer body rise ; There's lots of fear, alt hough they tries to mask it, As they hangs dangling in a wicker basket; For me, when'ere I takes a hariel ride, I means to book a place in the hinside— And mounting huppards to the hopper skies. I shan't feel giddy !—cos I'll shot both hies!" Although the whole Court was convulsed with laughter, Master Slender maintained the most imperturbable gravity. The Commissioner intimated that then' weme odes to Daniel O'Connell—" Sonnets on my mother," and a few tender epistles "to Sarah." The worthy Commissioner, on charging the Jury, observed that the value of the binding could be estimated alone by a bookbinder. The contents of the book was mere rubbish; tut it did not follow that the bookbinder was to charge an exhor bitant price for what certainly appeared to be a very indiffer ent binding. The Jury decided that ds., with the payment of costs, was amply sufficient. CHEAP Lonoirius.—A very intelligent girl, named Mary Morgan, was summoned for Is. 9d. lodging money, at 3d. per night. The poor girl, who had evidently been well educated, assured the Commissioner that she was not unwilling to pay, but that she could not; and as to the value of the lodging, there were 18 persons all sleeping in one room!—they were all hud dled together like so many swine. The plaintiff, who looked the very essence of depravity, pres sed for au immediate payment; but the Jury considerately al lowed the poor girl a period of two months for payment of the debt. On quitting the Court she respectfully and feelingly thanked the Commissioner and the Jury.

The total importation of all wines into the United Kingdom for the year 1835, amounts to 9,039,551 gallons, being a de crease, as compared with the importations of the preceding year, of 726,565 gallons ; this is immense. The total deliveries from bond for home consumption and exportation, for 1835, are 8,293,923 gallons. being an increase over 1834 of 174.258 e•al lons. The total stock of wines in the United Kingdom of ' all sorts, on the sth January last, amounted to 9,776,140 gallons, which shows an increase upon the previous year's stock of 690,598 gallons. POIITS.—The importation of Portugal wines during 1835, amounted to 4,269,890 gallons, or upwards of 37,000 pipes. The deliveries for home consumption, '2,780,024 gallons, being a trifling decrease as compared with 1834. The export deliveries of Ports were 475,084 gallons, showing an increase upon 1834 of 178,546 gallons. The stock of Ports in bond on the sth Janu ary last, was 4,218 264 gallons, or nearly 37,000 pipes, the Lon don stock alone in August last being 24,100 pipes, showing an increase, as compared with the same stock upon the sth Janu ary last, of 3,250 pipes, so that if the outports have increased in the same , proportion, the market must remain heavy. THE INTAGE.—No material difference of opinion, it is thought, can exist as regards the Port vintage of 1835. The rain commenced on the 19th September of that year, and conti nued until the 12th October during nearly the whole of the gathering, which destroyed all previous hopes of a favourable vintage. Almost all the grapes were gathered in rain ; and the vintage, therefore, as regards quality, must be held as a failure, although as to quantity it was an average crop. The Port Wine trade is now under a new system, which has not yet had time to slevelope itself; the future value of Ports, therefore cannot be stated. although it must not be forgot that the trade in Portugal i unre stricted. and increased facilities are thereby afforded to the merchant and grower. SHIM It lES.—The total import of Sherries last year amounted to 2,732,028 gallons,. or 23,756 pipes, being a decrease upon the previous year of 714,585 gallons, or 6213 pipes. The total de liveries of Spanish wines for home consumption last year are 2.230.187 gallons, being a decrease upon the former year of 49,666 gallons. The deliveries for the present year will tend to decide whethe r thi s article has arrived at its maximum of demand for lionie"use. The total stock of Spanish Wines on sth Jan. last, was 3,699,2.39 gallons, a decrease on the previous year of 2-11,282 gallons. This evidently arises from a diminished sup ply, and is calculated to relieve, in some degree, the great pres iaite prospect on of the pres sure, on th e mar k et, anu t h ere b y f ac ilit a t e sa l e s. Th e stock however, is t on h eavy, an d t h e h o ld ers too pressing, to afford a 31st any iniltricg)vuesn't improvement in in was p 2 6 1 c , e 7 1 4 . 6 b'rUlitt:.l"°-in.hde onstock alone, vintage of 1835, both as to quality and quantit y, is average. anntnA.—The importation of this Wine, which. of late years has been languishing in the British market, amounted to 204,825 gallons only, being a decrease of 167,873 gallons upon the pre vious year.

The Clarets of 1831, concern ing which so much difference of opinion existed, appear to have materially improved, and have been sought after as the only available wines to succeed the vintage of 1631. A good Claret vintage is much wanted, and the present year promises this, unless spoiled by the weather before it can be realized. Although the home demand for French wines in 1835 appears to have slightly increased, this improvement is not ap plicable to Claret. Champagne has materially increased in consumption, an d the French Ports hare also swelled the h o m e deliveries. The remarks relating to Cape, and other cheap wines, now almost abandoned by the respectable portion of the trade, are of too little interest to be extracted. Port, Sherry, and Claret, seem the staple articles of British use.—Scotsman. We learn from Kilkee l that, during the storm of Wed n e sd a y night, about thirty fishing b oa ts wore wrecked on th e b eac h o f Derryoge.

GititmaN RAILIOAD.-It is a remarkable fact that in the for mation of the railway between Prague and Pilsen, the individuals employed were chiefly females, each of whose wages amounted to about 6d. a day. There were upwards of 2000 regularly engaged as labourers, in forming the embankments, excavating the so il, &c. During the two first years the engineer was abl e , i n th e course of 40 English miles, to cut no - less than 696,465 cubic yards, and to construct 807,844 cubic yards of embankment, besides laying the way with malleable rails. He erected during these two years 73 bridges from three to 18 yards each, with 133 culverts ; •and he also made 23 6 waggons. A nd all this at an expense of about £75,200 sterling.—Strang's Germany. Zbt Eitnrpool eStanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1836. The French papers of Wednesday and Thursday fur nish us with the accounts of the proceedings at the erection of the Luxor monument, which took place on Tuesday in the presence of the King, his court, and ministers of state. This relic of Egyptian superstition, brought from Thebes, consists of a single block of por phory marble, on which are deeply sculptured hierogly phical representations and inscriptions in honour of Rhamses the 1., H., and 111. (Sesostris,) and has been de posited on a :pot renowned in France as the Place of the Revolution, and precisely where stood the instrument of death on which Philippe D'Egalite, the father of Louis Philippe, was beheaded a very short time after he had been the first in the National Convention to vote for the death of Louis the XVI. We envy not the feelings of the King of France at the painful reminiscences which this scene must have called to mind; whilst we think that these things considered, as this memorial has been brought to France, an appropriate resting-place has been asigned it, were it not for the interruption it must give to the fine view which previously existed of a grand and Uninterrupted vista, when approached.P Louis Philippe thinks, as a matter of policy, that such a monument is calculated to obliterate the recollection of the days of horror, sell and good; but if the line of Shakspeare was ever truly applicable to any monarch, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," it is particularly so to the pre ' .eat French ruler. As a matter of pure taste, however, we candidly confess that a museum or temple expressly built for it would have been more suitable, if the Pa risians are to be taught to admire idolatry in exchange for their new theories of abstract human rights and po pular intelligence. It appears indispensable even to the temporary security of the present dynasty of France, that these displays should take place to divert the atten tion of mischievous spirits from contemplating greater follies, or possibly the performance of serious crimes. As a stupendous memento of that learned superstition which brought down the vengeance of the Deity, and destroyed an entire people, this obelisk on "La Place de Concorde" may have its uses; but, alas I the French are neither a religious nor a reflecting people. The monument itself is termed by antiquaries a monolithe, and its transportation to Europe has caused immense labour and great expense. With regard to politics, there is nothing new of strik ing domestic interest from the French capital. The prosecution of the war against Constantine in Africa, and the departure of the expedition for that purpose, accom panied by the Duke de Nemours, the King's second son, had fully occupied the attention of the war department. The suspension of intercourse with the Swiss cantons had been relaxed, and the expulsion of the refractory re fugees was proceeding. The report of the committee nominated to examine the documents relating to the dis pute with France had not arrived, as it was not likely it would be tendered to the assembled Diet before yester day or this day. It is considered by some of the journals that the election of M. Mounard to the station of reporter of the committee augurs the triumph of the more violent section of the liberal party, of that which is most opposed to the influence or interest which France takes to herself in the affairs of Switzerland. M. Monnard was a leading member of the committee, the report of which on the the conduct of the alleged spy council occasioned the French Government to suspend its intercourse, and to close the frontier. Our Spanish news, furnished by these papers, comes down to the 17th from Madrid. We give these despatches in another part, but there is great secrecy observed with regard to some of the telegraphic communications, which are dated after "night fall." Alaix does not appear to have more than 2500 men with him ; and, from the best information we can obtain, Gomez appeared to be moving with a view to gain the mountains of Toledo on his return, doubtless to preserve the immense booty he had obtained, and it ap pears that he had detached Carbrera, with a large body, for the purpose of diverting the attention of the enemy. This appears the more probable, for we learn that on the I 1 th two battalions of National Guards marched on the 18th from Madrid to Toledo. We must refer our readers to the map for further illustration of the scene of Gomez's most extraordinary manoeuvres. It is said he has ex ceeded his orders; but it is far more probable that he has been governed by circumstances; whilst his generalship and intrepidity hitherto, it cannot be denied, have created a most powerful diversion in favour of the arms of his royal master. If he succeeds in avoiding or defeating the various corps said to be in quest of him, and we have a strong presentiment that he will, it will be a most ex traordinary proof of skill, co urage , an d d evo ti o n ; but rall be said of his band of h eroes a nd their Roman lwikheat sl p ers everence ? We hope ere many days to have some interesting intelligence to furnish to our readers. 'The state of affairs at Madrid varies little from our last report. The Cortes had assembled, and had elected a speaker and secretary ; and they were proceeding to dis cuss the question of the regency, as the first and most important. The ultra-liberal party appears to predomi nate, if wo may judge from the circumstance of M. De caze, the private secretary to the new French ambassador, having been peremptorily ordered by the government to quit Madrid ! How will the French nation brook this insult ? General Lautour Maubourg had delivered his credentials to the Queen Regent, at a public audience, together with an autograph letter from his royal uncle. She replied briefly to the address of the ambassador. merely acknowledging the declared sympathy of Louis Philippe. A very numerous meeting of Spanish creditors (bond holders) took place at the French Bourse on Thursday. After a • disorderly discussion they came to a resolution not to accept the form of payment proposed by the Spa nish finance minister, whilst it was agreed not to press the payment in the present embarrassed condition of the go vernment. A petition to the King to interest himself with the Queen Regent, on their part, and to assist her against Don Carlos, concluded the proceedings. This is all natural enough from those whose patriotism is govern ed purely by their pocket interests. As a postscript we add, from the Journal des Debats of Thursday, that Gomez, after having evaded all pursuit and out-generalled the forces of Quiroga, Rodil, Alaix, and Espinosa, each superior to his own corps in numbers, and out-manoeuvred and out-marched them all, will really have crossed the Guadiana, on his route to Truxillo, and with the means CI capturing the iortress of Fuento- Ove juna, at the western point of the Sierra Mountains ! The dinner recently given to Sir John Beckett, at Leeds, and his speech, are as decisive on the fate of the O'Connell Melbourne cabinet in Yorkshire, as our own recently noble festivals have been in Lancashire, with out enumerating those of East Worcestershire, West Worcestershire, and Essex. These manifestations of sound feeling on the part of the reflecting classes, cctn posing the great social community of the English people, are, as Lord Sandon pointedly remarked in his speech at the dinner meeting of our own Operative Conservative Association, " Another evidence of the expiring and mi serable state to which the efforts of the faction, opposed to the constitution of the country, are now reduced." Yes, my Lords Melbourne and Russell, they afford a striking indication of " those agonizing throes by which are marked their utter and final extinction !" Those efforts of our unreforming rulers, are now chiefly limited to a co-operative exertion with the priestly band of spo liators associated with the " justice-rent" conclave, and now headed by Doctors Murray and M'Hale. Our rea ders will draw their own inference from the recent corn tnunication of the former " pastoral" christian, to this upright body of Irish subjects We have now passed through nearly two years of un mitigated Whig-radical and pro-popery government — unmitigated in its principles—undefended in its morals —standing upon a false plea, and endeavouring to jus tify its acts, by a system of pleading at utter variance with all the accustomed usages of our mixed monarchy, and our family customs. Happily for the interests of truth and experience, and the elucidation of justice in her fairer form, but unhappily for every other in the state, this downward movement of our imbecile cabinet, having no right or influence with the real people of Bri_ tain, and no unity of design within itself, has enabled us to discover effectually the state of parties—to sift the moral and political work of each section—to ascertain conclusively to what three out of four of them would, had each the power, without opposition, turn the working principle of the reform bill. It is an entire paradox, that these elements have hitherto worked together even for a common object, altbongh that object were the ex tinction of our constitutional monarchy ; and we are not in the least surprised to find, that the republican section is preparing to burst the bonds or its confederacy, and throw overboard the Litchfield house treaty, as Louis Phillippe has trampled upon the quadruple alliance, and turned his back upon the all-sufficient lord of Protocols The real English radicals have found out there was one party to the contract with whom they could not safely or eren possibly go on ; and that although he was the su preme dictator of the government of England—the " must" and the " will," and the hurdle-master over his troop of lambs, mules, and donkeys, it were yet not en tirely incompatible with the dignity of his high estate, as the King of the Beggars, to accept, as we learn, of a second thousand pounds, and to negotiate a truce with the factory masters, to serve his own peculiar Trish and popish political objects by aid of the most essential arti cle—money ! Vir: say, it is most truly unfortunate for the ministry, but useful to the country, that a Bell has been rang, and is still ringing, the clapper of which neither the chief of the Melbourne cabinet, nor his deputy can muffle, for the bell, aided by the pulling of the ostler, (Oastler,) who has been called to its aid, has given double tongue to unharmonious sound, and alarmed the prime minister himself in his slumbers at Brocket We envy not the consternation amongst the noble and mighty of the Whigs—they richly deserve all the contempt and disgrace which will inevitably accrue to them from their unhal• lowed connexion; nor is it any pact of our province to cleanse them from the mire of their own freely purchased political iniquity. Pretending to know nothing of the merits of the transaction to which we allude, beyond what is put before us in print, we leave Mr. Bell, Mr. Condy, and Mr. Potter to adjust its truth amongst them selves; but we have a right to draw our own inferences from the vote given, and apply its consequences to the advantage of the parties interested, in our own way, as politically opposed to them all. And now, as we are enabled to arraign the worthy confederates on far more serious grounN, let us cull a page from a powerful contemporary, who adduces a yet stronger ground of argument, than all that the exposure of the factory peccadilloes can effect. What says the London 7'imes in its Friday's leading article ? " If the history of England were now to be written, materi als fur it, at once authentic and invaluable, would be found in the vast conservative meetings by which every great town and district throughout England Lave of late been animated, and continue to be so, in the various classes and comprehensive numbers of those who attend them, the perfect unanimity of sentiment which they exhibit with regard to the one great evil, which now oppresses the British empire, and the one grand re medy by which alone it can bo cured." Shall we extend a little further : " The evil to be guarded against, as is felt and declared by all conservative Englishmen, high and low, rich and poor, tom perate and zealous, is the danger of inordinate and wanton change, the sacrifice of the tried for the untried ; and the nature of the remedy is pointed out by that of the evil. It consists in a general and strenuous co-operation of those who love their country, for the persecution of all change not proved by satis factory evidence or reason to bo indispensable to the public good, and for the overthrow of that weak and unprincipled Mi nistry, whose accession to office was the signal for such calami_ tons experiments on the safety of the nation, while its continu ance in office is announced by its own members and their parti zans, to depend on, and be inseparable from, the unmeasured progress of revolution." Here is another full, and, we consider, an unanswer able justification for what we have recently written on the course and policy of the Melbourne administration ; and the talented writer's premises, as the grounds of that justification, are borne out by the declaration of him who, at the Edinburgh dinner, and when denouncing the House of Lords, declared himself its "organ-blower." The meetings of Liverpool, of North Lancashire, and of Leeds, have furnished one page in the historical ca reer of conservative England, sufficient in itself to dis pute the entiro authority of the whigs, and to disturb the repose of Brocket-hall, had there been no disunion in the camp. And whether the mighty lord "do little" and " do less" has appeased the fears of the trembling. Lamb, in his recent visit or not, the day of reckoning assuredly approaches; and the consolation of Francis the First awaits no one member of that piratical crew, who have been cruizing under false colours against the birth right liberties—the most choice inheritances of Eng lishmen. No, not even the belted knight of Spanish diplomacy will be enabled to exclaim "tout est perdu sur l'honeur"—the case is hopeless, and the disgrace inevita ble. Well, a moral crisis then approaches, and how will the government meet it? Within the last fifty years three great principles have been started for the govern ment of her European family, of which Great Britain is a leading member. We had, first, the age or march of rea son commenced ; in France it performed prodigies of va lour at a celebrated spot, now covered with an Egyptian pillar, and successively known as "La place de concords" —"La place de la Revolution," and a variety of other names. Here, under the vision of the blood red cap of liberty, and aided by the presidency of Doctor Guillotin, it despatched in mock legality its thousands by day, whilst another tribunal acting as its confederate assisted it at night, d la lantern° ! This principle was put down in France by Buonaparte at the battle of the sections—in England by the firmness of William Pitt. Since the peace of 1814, we have been assisted with a new principle in name, but, in reality, only a modification of the other, this has been denomi nated the march of intellect, carrying in its right hand a crooked wand, a sort of accommodating hand maiden named reform, —this principle has been proved to he retrograde in its character, and its companion not only a base coquet in design, but an arrant jilt t in practice ! The danger attendant on their united progress haying been tendered doubly apparent, from their becoming linked with an old associate of evil, and a common enemy to the welfare of mankind, as an engine of spiritual tyr ranv, the old English principle of preservation has been aroused from its slumber, and as that principle is based on the authority of scripture—on the code of morals— Nov, 1. 1536, on the love of order, law, peace, and integrity, it is en tirely -cnntradktinc,rnished from the others, and having truth for its guide and rational freedom for its object, it acts with union and with concord, and will assuredly tri umph. We have strong reasons for believing that the Whig Cabinet is sadly disturbed—that its most valiant mem hers are suffering great mental indisposition, arising from this manifestation of the preservative principle,—the cholera of unpopularity which sternly follows in its train, is a sad competitor for weak governors, and neither the fumigations of the Attorney-General nor the camphor bags of Mr. Rice, will prevent the convulsions that are threatening their ill-conditioned limbs, and now freely indicated by the pulse of their own paid organs of the press, one of which in terms of despair laments their ap proaching disorganization. Knowing as we do the game of O'Connell and his priestly supporters, armed with the spiritual authority of Pope Gregory, and proclaimed by his AVuncio, Dr. Murray, wo confess we pretend not to "charity" sufficient (although appealed to by the learn- - ed Jesuit) as to be very sad for the additional confusion and embarrassment which is given by its recent associ- • ates to a Cabinet already involved by its own dishonour able intrigues beyond the rational hope of extrication. Doctor Murray has had the presumption to appeal to the justice and generosity of a Protestant King of England for support of the men, who have dishonoured his crown, and who are prepared to advise that King to break his trust with the Church ; but the assumed moderation of this leader of Irish popery will avail little against the firmness of the Sovereign in this respect, backed as he is by the House of Lords, and by the voice of the intelligent classes of a loyal and affectionate people. IF those who are nominally his Majesty's Ministers, are at all capable of exercising reflection on the past or foresight for the future, they must be heartily tired of that condition of uncertainty to which they have reduced themselves and the power of their government,—they must see that they have prepared a crisis for themselves _:,% x rather than for the English nation, by their jugglery in .04 . Irish policy. The feeble replies of Lord Melbourne and sa s i Lord Holland to Lord Lyndhurst's noble exposition in a are his remarks upon the Lord's proceedings with regard to =la the Municipal Bill and its rejection by the Ministry, would lead one to infer, that they must have had great lack of information with regard to the probable dist nrb ance of the public peace in Ireland, or the display of popular commotion likely to be got up in favour of their violent course,—here, their expectations have been foiled, and the hopes of their guardian angel frustrated—the .blustering agitator has been nearly ns much disappointed in Ireland as he was last year in England ; for after all he has made but little progress, compared with the means taken, and the government patronage of the Lord Lieu tenant placed at his hands, independently of the indi vidual exertions made by the ministerial representatives' in their various circles. Falsely insincere as the Melbourne Cabinet has in-: controvertibly proved itself to the icterests of the Irish branch of our Protestant establishment, it has dug a pit for others into which it has deservedly fallen itself—de feat and despair now stare it in the face—its prop has proved in reality a broken reed, and the inflated vanity which led O'Connell to rely on the impression, that his tour to our mauufacturing districts would have produced a popular demonstration against the House of Lords here, of which there now exists no hope of his being en abled to accomplish, has also led him widely astray with regard to Ireland. The difference between him and Mr. Sharman Crawford, has proved as fatal to his promise of obtaining for his proteges the exclusive and unanimous, support of the Irish radical interest, as his expectations with regard to England were chiefly and deservedly frustrated by his own violent letter against that illustri ous assemlly, which aroused the first feeling of indigna-, tion against the government, which could afterwards give him countenance, whether previously, or not, im plicated in that discreditable procedure. There was, therefore, abundant reason for the ministers having lost ground with the reflecting classes in this country, and in Ireland with the Protestants, en masse, even before the termination of the last session ; for their lame defence in no way exonerated them from a connivance with, if not a direct participation in, that hostile declaration and s? L ' 3 ; its ruffianly abuse of the hereditary Peerage, replete with sentiments wholly unsupported by the English nation, 1 e and decidedly objectionable, however presumptuously they may deny it, to the personal feelings of the King. Who then can wonder at the position into which Lord ...sae"` Melbourne and Lord John Russell have brought them selves ? Will their parasitical apologists of the Strand, with all their brassy effrontery, tell us, that the King of usi ss England grieves, because " a heavy blow to, and a st severe discouragement of, Protestantism" has been first ifiae averted by his faithful peers, and their decision nousss'Pl" freely responed to by his loyal subjects? In the language of our powerful contemporary the London Standard,' V ° est; more than a match for the very best of them : sA " We take this defeated measure as the key of all. the rest; , and such as it is, whether considered as the essential article of that treaty which keeps Lord Melbourne in power, or as thJa• • ( public act of homage, by which Lord Melbourne's cabinet ac knowledges its master !" It cannot be too often impressed upon the attention of the people of England, that the corruption of popular representation in the reformed parliament of the House of Commons, is already rendered by the confederated factions more prejudicial to the consistency and security of the state itself than all the alleged corruption of the old borough system—the Carlow and Manchester jobbery to witness. This evil can only he removed by the people them- . selves, and by what means we have freely pointed out to them. As a people, dead indeed should we be to the evidence of our common understanding, were we not fully alive to the advantages of a rationally reforming administra tion; and having seen both sides of the question, the conviction flashes on the mind, that from Sir Robert Peel's administration we had everything to hope—from - the present everything to fear! We make no reserve 'o r on this point—we owe it as a duty to our fellow-citizens- °`' f ' —we owe it a matter of loyalty to our King, and of :4 ; , v common respect to our own judgment, to declare that the ruin of this country is consequent upon the stay irk, office of the present Cabinet. We use no improper exit terms—we start no improbable hypothesis ; but we build on matter of fact data, furnished by those we condemn, . and let their time-serving supporters refute it if they can. We are willing to take issue with the entire Ca binet upon three speeches last delivered in this town, by Lord Sandon, Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, and Mr. W. E. Gladstone, and though we cannot possibly go into that discussion to-day, for our municipal election merits some share of our attention, deeply connected as that election is with the prosperity and comfort of its inhabitants, by the return of men attached to sound principles in re ligion and government, we unreservedly assert, after an attentive perusal and consideration, that the address of the latter gentleman was altogether so explanatory and conclusive, as not to leave our opponents a leg to stand upon, nor the opportunity to gainsay the keenly Ultra trated political declension of Mr. William Ewart. The independent men of Liverpool are now too much alive to what is due to themselves, and due to their common country, to be any longer gulled by vain sophistries, or deceived by idle and unmeaning promises. We must have honest men in the Cabinet—honest men in the House of Commons, and,. as a necessary adjuvant, honest men in the Town Council, and not allow reform ed acts of parliament, if reformed they be, to be per verted to the purpose of infringing on our religion and our domestic liberties. Although we may happen to differ with his Worship the Mayor on political matters, we make no scruple of expressing our conviction, now that his term of office has drawn to a close, • that, under the present constitution of the council. their selec tion of Mr. Currie was the best that could have been made. Mr. Currie has for a long series of years advo cated popular principles—has more than once figured on the balcony of the Bull Inn, Clayton-square, and has fur nished no s4all quota of respectability to the party with whoin he has long been identi fied. By his speeches and writings (for the Mayor is a literary character) he has helped forwards the movement in this town, and radicalism owes much of its triumph here to his poweiful fession posses ; the Tc sequel (rp oi what and h met itu a With of t i Ettid
