LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

TIIIS DAY, Four o'clock.
The morning papers announce the unopposed re-
turn of the Hon. Mr. LAWI.ES, a Repealer, for the
borough of Clonmel, in the room of the Bight Hon.
DAVID PICOT, now Chief Baron of the Exchequer.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the non-appear-
ance of the new Member at the hustings, who is stated
to be at present amusing himself in the Highlands.
He did not even trouble the electors with on address.
The private letters received from America are re-
plete with speculations as to the probable effect
of the late movement in Mexico upon the question of
peace or war with the United States. Some areinclined
to think that SANTA ANNA'S policy will be pacific.
Such is the hope entertained at Washington ; and
though preparations are still made for the prosecu-
tion of hostilities, it is understood to have been
decided at a Cabinet Council held on the 2t:th ult., that
nothing decisive shall be undertaken, as on attack upon
Vera Cruz, till the effect of the new revolution is more
fully ascertained. The feeling is very general that
Mr. POLK has been in communication with the ex-
President, and that no inconsiderable portion of the
two million dollars, voted by Congress for peace
purposes, had found its way to Havana. When
the last accounts left Mexico affairs were still
unsettled I
in fact the capital was in the crisis of
a pronunciumento; so that it is difficult to estimate the
general feeling as it affects relations to be maintained
with the United States. From all that can be collected,
however, hostilities would be continued. The two
great chiefs would, it was supposed, reconcile their
differences : and while SANTA ANNA remained at home
to organize a strong government, PAREDFS wouldcon-
tinue in command of the army, and march directly
upon Monterey.

Upon the engrossing subject of the royal marriages
in Spain, there is nothing fresh to communicate.
The Liberals of Seville have joined the Progresistas
of Madrid in protesting against the union of the
INFANTA with the DUKE OF NIONTPENsIER, and the
I:spectailor, Clamor Public°, and Er() (1.1
have been seized for publishing observations on the
communication addressed by Mr. BULWER to M.
Isruarrz. We extract the following from the
Madrid petition to the Queen against the MoNT-
cENSIER alliance:—

"Nations, Senora, have their antipathies as well as
; and in the present case, the antipathy of the
Spanish people, not to the French people, but to all that
France imposes on us, that antipathy 14 well founded.
Could your Majesty go amongst the masses of your people,
and hear their voim—the voice of the high, the middling,
and the low—one cry you might hear,—one cry only, and
that is, l'ut no trust in France !' You are not acquainted
with the antipathy against all that it French in Spain. You
do not know, because you cannot know it, that universal
and deep-rooted antipathy. To give your Majesty an idea
of its magnitude, we shall only inform you that, in the or-
dinary language of the people, the words ' traitor ' and
miscreant' do not rouse in their hearts so much aversion as
Afrancesado."

The following is from the rm's' correspondent :
" I must now sava word as to the state r f feeling i.t Madrid
on the marriage. it w,.uld be difficult to describe the ex-
citement that prevails in alt quarters of the town, and amongst
all classes. Pasquinades and dogerel verse are in full play.
I received this morning several copies of a poetical composi-
tion in a burlesque style, writ'en half French and half
Spanish, and turning the French Prince into ridicule. They
came out in the supplement of the Espectador, and for
which, by the way, a prosecution is to be commenced
against the publisher. The feeling of detestation against
the French is intense, and is beginning to show itself
mos unequivocally. The pastry-cso'ar and confectioners,
who usually exhibit in their shop windows the words " Per
estito de Paris," or Getter°, Francesos,"have already erased
them. Caricatures are handed about of M. Bresson, Louis
Philippe and Montpensier. This feeling is the greatest among
the lowest classes. If it increase in the same proportion, I
should begin to dread some sudden outbreak in the pre-
sent excited state of the public mind. I have reason to
believe that every effort is made to excite all the ancient
prejudiciss which existed againt the French, bltli amongst
the people and the army, and I fear these efforts will suc-
ceed but too well.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY
COMPANY.

YORK. Sept. 14.
A special meeting of this Company was held at the
Railway Station to-day, to obtain the formal assent of the
proprietors to the arrangements made by the Directors under
the Hull and Selby Railway Purchase Act. George Hud-
son, Esq., MX., chairman of the company. presided, and
submitted two resolutions to the meeting, which were respee-
tively carried without oppcsition. The first declared in sub-
stance that the York and North Midland Company accepted
a lease of the Hull and Selby Railway, with its branch
and plant for 1,000 years, from the Ist of July.
1815, and that the Leeds and Manchester Railway
company should have the option of joining in the lease on
terms alre.ady agreed upon. The second declared that the Hull
end Selby Railway. with its branch and plant, should be
purchased by the York and North Midland Company, and
that the Manchester and Leeds should have the option of
joining in the pure ase. Here the business of the day, in so
far as the York and North Midland Railway was concerned,
terminated.
