the P.'

tion of the Pt. Austria has reinforced the garrisons
of Ferrara an Comachio, and given other ind;cations
of uneasiness. The free press of the Roman states is
excluded from circulation in the Austrian provinces,
but in the meantime reforms progress, and the people
are beginning to estimate the value of liberal institu-
tions.

According to letters from Stuttgardt, the scarcity
of food would be much greater than had been ex-
pected. In consequence, and in order to counteract,
the movements of speculators, a commission was in-
stituted by the government, for the purpose of making
purchases of bread stuffs abroad. Considerable
sums were placed by the state at the disposal of this
commission.
An assembly of the most notable inhabitants of the
principal towns in the kingdom had been held at
Plockingen, at which it was resolved to support the
measures of the government by contributions of
money. From 60,000 to 100,00 i florins (from 6,0001.
to 10,0001.) had been advanced by different districts.
The government of Hesse, following the example
of Wurtemberg and other German states, has also
ordered purchases of corn abroad. A Hessian com-
missioner had concluded a contract in furtherance of
this object for 38,400 hectolitres of corn in Holland,
which were to be despatched forthwith, by the Rhine,
to Mayence.

FRACAS BETWEEN MR. BARRY, TIIE CELEBRATED
CLOWN, AND MONSIEUR WELIAN, AT ASTLEY'S
THEATRE.—This morning, at the conclusion of the perform-
ances (which did not take place until within a few minutes
of two o'clock), at the above Theatre, and as the audio. ce
was leaving the house, at which Mr. Barry had taken his
farewell benefit previous to his embarking for America,
M. Wellan, rushed upon the stage in an exceedingly excited
state and bleeding from the mouth. He was, however,
quickly followed by Mr. Barry, who amidst the confusion
which the circumstance had icstantanec.usly caused, addressed
the house. He (Mr. Barry) said that he felt it his duty to
explain to the audience the origin of what would other-
wise, perhaps, militate against him. He must certainly
acknowledge that he acted unguardedly towards 31.
Wellan, but his feelings had been so worked upon by
that gentleman's conduct towards him (Mr. Barry) in con-
sequence of his (M. Wellan) having in his piece done all he
could to thwart his (Mr. Barry's) endeavours to get through
the drama, in which M. Wellan and his dog " Emclie " were
the principal actors; that had it not been for the great exer-
tions of himself and his colleagues,it would have been a com-
plete failure. He (Mr. Barry) had none all in his power to
bring M. Wellan forward on the English boards, but his
kindness had been repaid with the basest ingratitude.
In endeavouring to make au arrangement with M. Wel-
lan, the latter appeared anxious to be engaged for a week at
the salary of 34)1. To this, however, he (Mr. Barry) could not
accede, and it was ultimately arranged that M. Wellan
should have 51. for that night only, and the agreement was
duly and properly signed. M. Wellan had, however, kept
out of the way the whole of Monday—had actually locked
himself in his bed-room in York-road, and gave directions to
his landlady and landlord to deny him • and it was only
through the tact and perseverance of Mr. Bradford, the
stage manager, that he (M. Wellan) had made his appear-
ance there at all. He (Mr. Barry) had always received the
kind patronage of the public, acid he sincerely hoped he
should ever deserve it. Mr. Barry then withdrew with his
friends amid the plaudits of his hearers.

COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Bank of England returns of the averages for
the week ending the 3rd inst., show, on comparison with
those of the week preceding, the following differences : In
the department of issue the average note circulation is given
at 29,339,79.5/. ; less upon former return, 296,0601. Circula-
tion out among the public, 20,550,645/. ' • increase, 683,47.5/.
Public deposits, 9,776,19.51.; increase, 20,218/. Other de-
posits, 8,167,143/4 less 93.6361. " Other " securities in the
department, 15,026,7751. ' • increase, 1,050,6181. Coin
and bullion, 15,816,6261 ; less 407,7261. Of seven-day and
other bills, the excess was 24,838/. ; the rest, 7,9971. more.
These returns exhibit, without question, more remakable
differences than have been shown for some time past. The
large increase in active circulation explains itself natu-
rally by the larger excess still of securities dis-
counted or advanced upon, exceeding in one week
by upwards of one million the same class of values held by
the Bank on average the week before, which was it elf in
excess: of the week preceding by nearly one
and that week again more than three quarters of
a million above the amount in hand four weeks
back. Thus within three weeks the Bank had
enlarged the value of its securities by not much s,aort of
throe millions sterling ; that is, loans hat been mad eon de-
posit of securities been made, and bills discount,A, to that
extent of value additional. Doubtless no small pro-
portion of this surplus sum will arise from, rad represent
the increased values of various commodities, nraably corn and
I cotton ; and would not, therefore, show 'at a degree cor-

RAILWAYS.
The Railway market showed altogether a healthier
tone to•day, with more activity of business. Some consider-
able transactions are reported in Amberg4.a, and iu Shrop-
shire Unions particularly ; the latter commanding an advance
of 1. East India scrips were rather heavier than before.

arrivals, both European and American, since Monday last,
arc on the' whole rather limited in amount. During the in-
tent' since Tuesday, we experienced renewed inquiries for
Wheat and Flour, from speculative buyers and consumers, as
well as for shipment coastwise and to Ireland, which resulted
in considerable sales of each, but especially of the latter, both
free and in bond, on the terms last noted • several floating
cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn also changed hands, but
in other articles little business was transacted. Upon a
limited attendance of millers at our Exchange to-day,
and some of the leading market appearing less buoyant
than of late, the business done in any description of
Wheat was but moderate ; the trade, however, was
firm, the general runs supporting the fall rates of
' Tuesday, and for choice qualities of both old and new, some-
what higher prices were required. Irish Flour, although in
slow request, remained unaltered in value : States and Cana-
dian also, exhibited less animation than during the interme-
diate days of the week, a few thousand barrels only having
been sold this morning, and our last qu-tations merely sus-
tained. Prime malting Barley, being In demand, was the
turn dearer, and Grinding samples, as well as Malt steady at
former prices. Peas and Beans, were generally rather easier
to purchase, and Egytians Is. perqr.choaper. In the absence
of supplies, Indian Corn, in email quantities for present de-
livery, realised 2s. per qr. advance ; future prices depending
mainly on the wants of Ireland, and the extent of the forth-
coming importations. Oats and Oatmeal, though little
noticed, were held with firmness on the full terms previously
stated.

SOUTHAMPTON, Orr. 9.—Merchants, millers, and
others purchased extensively good samples of Wheat at full
3e. per qr. above what similar samples made last Friday.
Much Wheat went off briskly. Fine old, from 665. to 68s.
per qr. ; new (superior samples), from 60s. to 645. do. The
demand for prime seed Wheats (both White and Red) begin
to slacken, many of the farmers being now fully supplied.
Barley.—The malting season now fast approaching causes
beat samples to be much inquired after at 2s. at least above
last week's quotations. Good grinding Barley is also dearer. ,
Oats sold at from 255. up to 325. ; Irish do., from 24.. to 30s.
per quarter, being about Is. higher than last week's prices at
this market. Beans can scarcely be purchased at any rea-
sonable price ; what were sold made from 48s. to 50s. per
qr. ; Grey Peas (also scarce), from 40s. to 455. do.; White
Peas a little lower. Tares, 6s. 6d. per bushel for the best
samples. American Maize has got up ; yellow, from 30s. to
425. per qr. ; and white, from 30s. to 48e. do.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 9.—We have continued large
arrivals of 'Wheat, the trade, however, is extremely firm ;

BALLINASI.OE FAIR, OCT. 7.—Taking into considera-
tion the general alarm which prevails among the farmers re-
specting the scarcity of food, the excited state of the pea•an-
trryy,~ the opposition t.) rents, and increased expense of farm-
labour, the fair of Ballinasloe has so far passed off very well.
The number of Sheep sold on Monday and Tuesday is
65,421, the unsold 10,580. The sales were about 4,001
below those of the previous year, but prices, on the whole,
were very little lower; still, the complaints from the sellers
are general, while the buyers seem to think every animal
brought his full value. The number of Sheep exhibited lost
year was 73,721, of which 4,908 remained unsold ; hut, to go
back a few yearn, it will be seen the sales at this fair do not
furnish ground of complaint. In 1810, the number sold was
74,080 ; in 1841, there were sold 69,438, upwards of 7,000 being
returned unsold ; and, in 184'2, the sales were 62,409, tbo
unsold being 12,177. Thus the cumber actually sold
this year exceeds that of 1842 by 3,015, and at Is tter
prices. The Horse fair opened yesterday. The effect
of this unfavourable state of the weather was to leave
the fair green deserted by " man and horse." About two
o'clock the rain ceased and business commenced. The show
of Bones was by no mi ans as good as last year, but moro
than there was a demand for. The small farmers wire

anxiously pressing sales, in ennsetienceof the rcnreity
of fodder for the horses, and the stoppnge of held labour,
owing to the public works about to he opened in all direc-
tions. In fact it was the worst }hose fair that has been for
twenty years.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 10.

WE have already directed the attention of our
readers to the phenomena, alike startling and warn-
ing, which the state of the corn-market presents. The
returns for the six weeks immediately following har-
vest time, show a regular advance in the price of
wheat, instead of that regular decline which took'
place through the corresponding period of last year
and the year before ; and which is, indeed, the ordi-
nary and natural course of things. The fact is the
more remarkable, inasmuch as the harvest of this
year, if not one of great abundance, is by all accounts
a fair average, and considerably better than that of
last year. Yet prices fell weekly last year, from
harvest to the end of September, notwith-
standing the deficiency. What is most extra-
ordinary of all, is, that the tendency to advance has
overcome the effect of a sudden liberation of above
two million quarters of foreign corn in bond, which
had accumulated in the earlier part of the year, pend-
ing the protracted discussions on Sir Bonner PEEL'S
measures. The price of wheat, subsequent to har-
vest, has had to contend with an influx consi-
derably exceeding the entire aggregate of im-
portation through the years 1344 and 1845. And
yet pri?es have ranged as high (and rising instead of
falling), now that the duty is only Bs. per quarter, as
they did when it was 18s. and 20s. per quarter.
The lust September average for the present year is
535. ld. ; for that week in 1845, it was 535. 4d. ; and
in 1844, 455. 9d. Were the duty still the same, this
comparison would be alarming, taken in connexion
with the steady course of a rise in the one case
and a fall in the other. But we must re-
member also that, for the year ending sth of Ja-
nuary 1845, the high average duty of 175. 2d. was
actually paid by the importer. To correct the com-
parison, this amount, minus the duty now paid, should
be deducted from the prices of that year;-or, which
comes to the same thing, the difference added to pre-
sent prices, which are thus advanced to upwards of
60s. per quarter, at what is ordinarily the time of
lowest depression, and always followed by a period of
advance towards the highest rate as winter comes
upon us.
These figures are more eloquent than any words.
To the thoughtful, they come in aid of " every
day's report " of the progress of distress. If they
present no picture to the imagination, of individual
privations or of emaciated and clamorous multitudes,
yet they demonstrate to the coolest judgment that
such things are, and must be, and are about to be
fearfully multiplied. They are enough to make the
calculator imaginative, and to raise the gaunt figure
of Famine amongst the inexpressive figures of statis-
tical computation.
It is just to Sir ROBERT PEEL that we should not
forget how much the present burden is diminished,
even by the operation of his temporary law. The
diminution in cost of the corn delivered in the port of
London, supposing it regulated by the difference of
duty from what it would have been under his former
law, is about 7000/. weekly. The metropolis has to
thank him for sparing an enhanced outlay on its bread,
at the rate of above one-third of a million per annum.
That is something, even amongst so many; petty and
infinitesimal fraction as it is, of the beneficial
results of his measures in the general inte-
rests of the community. This is a portion of what
he did, and his cavilers resisted. Against this, and
incalculably more than this, was Lord G. BENTINCK
natrageous, and Mr. DISRAELI sarcastic. That bread
does not rise by pence instead of halfpence the loaf,
thank Sir ROBERT PEEL. He can afford, as he tells
the inhabitants of Wolverhampton, in his reply to
their address, to be "little disturbed by the imputa-
tions which have been cast upon him." The mate-
rials of a proud vindication are already fast accumu-
lating in facts, even amid the confusion and alarm of
most unpropitious circumstances.
It seems, indeed, that a free-trade policy is likely
first to be tried as a mitigation of calamity, rather
than as the impulsive power of industrial enterprise
and prosperity. The deficiency of the cotton crop is
a serious and gloomy adjunct to all the other diffi-
culties of our condition. It strikes at the right arm
of our manufacturing strength. And under this event-
ful combination of disastrous influences, it will be well
if reproach be not aimed at free-trade principles by
ignorance or sinister design. They will be charged
with promoting the evil which in reality they are
abating, as much as their recent and imperfect adop-
tion enables and allows them to abate it. The occa-
sion will exist for a continual comparison of what
must be endured and struggled against, with what it
would have been had the old system been adhered to ;
the system of restricted trade and artificial scarcity.
Every adverse fact is an additional motive for that
more rapid pn;sress towards the complete extinc-
tion of the food monopoly which we have already so
earnestly recomlnenderi. All the provision for time to

enable ;mricalturists to at pt their plane to the new
policy, which the present was framed to bestow,

is secured most amply by the state of the world's
markets. Every excuse for the temporary sliding-
scale is annihilated. Providence has suspended its
intended action by far mightier agencies. Its work
is done. The continuance of the machinery is only
pernicious and dangerous. Besides the topics to
which we have adverted, a source of peril is showing
itself in the policy of the defeated Protectionists, as
avowed by its Quarterly organ. An effort will be
made to render the temporary law permanent.
Monopoly owns to no compact with the people.
It recognises no implied peace or truce in the
di,,banding of the hostile forces. In the dissolution
of the League, it sees, not an appeal to its honour, but
an advantage for its cunning. It is tempted by the
hope of perverting the Free Trade Act, as it perverted
the Reform Act. Though not the wholesale plunder
of the old laws, yet there may be some pretty pickings
out of poverty and hunger, by the new law. Why
not prevent a future conflict by that immediate extinc-
tion of remaining protection which the exigencies of
the country require? Monopoly is a state prisoner,
under sentence of death in February 1849. How is
such a prisoner treated, when a movement is made for
his liberation and perpetual enthronement ? His treaty
keepers have a decisive duty to perform when the
danger becomes imminent. Let the official guardians
of doomed monopoly perform their duty. There is
present mischief and misery to abate, as well as pros-
pective peril to avert. The fitting reply to those who
declare there shall be bread-tax perpetual, is that it
shall exist no longer ; but cease at once, in any form,
to aggravate the difficulties and distresses of a strug-
gling people.

THE tide has turned in St. Pancras, and swept Mr.
HOWARTH from his " bad eminence," the vestry
chair. On 'Thursday a meeting was held, and a reso•
lution passed (by a majority, however, of five only),
" that this vestry consider the reasons assigned by Mr.
LEE for dismissing the man Whirr from the carpen-
ter's shop, are most unsatisfactory, frivolous, and
absurd. The vestry do therefore respectfully request
the directors will immediately cause the said man
WHITT, to be re-instated in his former occupation."
Mr. HOWARTH was chairman. He votkd with
the minority, which included, besides, seventeen
directors of the poor. On the announcement of the
result, Mr. HOWARTH indignantly declared his
intention to resign the chair ! This awful threat was
received rather cheerfully than otherwise. In fact it was
welcomed with " great cheering." And WILLIAM
HOWARTH, like CORIOLANUS, left his ungrateful fel-
low-parishioners, followed by " groans, hi.,ses, and
other marks of disapprobation." We doubt if he can

He has received his deserts from the parish. Ile has
yet to get the same meed from the Commissioners.
Against all material effects of their blame his charac-
ter of director probably secures him. Indeed, if he
be as thickskinned to official, as to public censure, rhi-
noceros-like he may defy them. Ile has displayed
a courage worthy of a better cause ; but nothing in
his chairmanship " became him like the leaving wet."
We regret one thing,—that the motion of Tuesday was
not more comprehensive. We are the more disappointed,
because the motion carried at Monday's meeting of the
rate-payers was so much more likely to bring out the
real facts of St. Pancras workhouse management.
That motion recommended " that a committee
of vestrymen be appointed to inquire into the
conduct of all the officers of the workhouse, and espe-
cially to consider the propriety of adopting the sug-
gestion of Mr. HOWARTH of not allowing any pauper
to hold any office in the house." It was carried by a
majority of 21 to 9 ; but we have not heard whether
the recommendation has been acted upon, and a com-

mittee of investigation appointed. The debate on this
motion furnished several fine illustrations of the
Howarthian spirit.
It began with a declaration from the foreman of
the jury who sat upon the body of MARY ANN
JONES, that the investigation by the directors
was not satisfactory to the ratepayers. Mr. WHIT-
FORD could not get a copy of the directors' re-
port, which he thought " reflected very great dis-
credit on the disposition and mind of the men who
drew it up." This insinuation aroused the ire of Mr.
}Lowman. Ile protested against it. The report, he
declared, was "unanimously agreed to by all." So
much the worse. In this case, there is not one
HOWARTH ; there are seventeen of the family ; a pro-
portion much too large for the health of the parish
and the comforts of its paupers. But " unanimous"
is, perhaps, in Mr. HOWARTH'S eyes, a compara-
tive term. In this case it was the result of an hour and
a hairs stormy discussion. Mr. llowman is a bar-
rister, and should be potent with juries if he is in
the habit of educing unanimity out of such elements.
Assurance goes a long way with twelve men in a box,
and may have succeeded as well with a score of
directors is a committee-room. Mr. HOWARTH next
made a dexterous side-blow at Mr. COOPER, his
scapegoat ; and with respect to the observations of
the foreman of the jury, asked, with one of those
delicious outbreaks of dignity which every now and
then make him so irresistible, " how it could be ex-
pected that the directors could ;nix theinselres xp
with strangers or with coroner's juries ?" Misery
makes a man acquainted with strange bed-fellows
indeed, when a dead pauper brings a barrister, and
churchwarden, and director to boot, into contact
with a coroner's jury ;—a low set who meet in pot-
houses, and pass " absurd verdicts" condemning their
betters of inhumanity and neglect!
Mr. HOWARTH had, afterwards, another fling at Mr.
COOPER and the coroner. It is amazing how vigilant he
is when the unhappy surgeon is before his self-consti-
tuted court. He is " wax to receive " bad impressions
of Mr. COOPER, and " marble to retain" good ones of
Mr. LEE. Mr. DOUGLASS subsequently moved a reso-
lution, "that this meeting approve of the conduct of
the Directors of the Poor in inquiring into the
conduct of Mr. COOPER respecting the death of
ABR tHAIIS." On this Mr. WHITFORD'S amendment,
above given, recommending the apppointment of a
committee to investigate the workhouse manage-
ment, was moved and carried, as we have already de-
scribed. Mr. HOWARTH, upon this, declared that "the
directors had satisfied the Poor-law Commissioners."

We are inclined to echo the remark of "Walker,'
with which a rate-payer received this assertion.
That the Commissioners are satisfied, we shall be very

much surprised to hear. How far Mr. HOW.UaII is
aware of the fact, except by a gift of prophecy, which
he may possess in addition to his other talents, we
cannot imagine. Mr. DouGLAss, one of his brother
directors and staunch supporters, asked, only a few
minutes after this assertion, "if the meeting
had not better wait to hear the report of the
Poor-law Commissioners before they made this

inquiry ?" So it appears the report is not
yet made. Has Mr. HOWARTH been behind
the scenes ? Certain Somerset House revelations of
last session render the possibility far from remote.
But the investigation by the Commissioners deserves
a few words to itself. Wedo not know hew far the pub-
lished reports of it are to be relied on; hut, if accurate,
they exhibit about the most remarkable specimen of
an investigation on record. How ARTII himself could
not have made a worse. It should be bound up with
the report, and the pair labelled as " The investiga-
tion in which nothing was investigated, and the
report in which nothing was reported on."
On Friday of last week, says the newspaper report
of this official visitation, " A minute survey was made
of the house ; dimensions of black-hole, oakum-room,
yards, feather-room, much maligned shed,' solemnly
taken; means of ventilatioa examined;" and so
forth. Then commenced the examination of witnesses
in the board-room. Mr. LEE was produced and ques-
tioned, and must speak for himself, as no one was
called to speak against him.

Mr. Lee, the master of the workhouse, on being sulked whom be
deemed refractory paupers, answered, "Persons who are *moon to be

of skid acid loser eharacter,and disorderly persons generaay speak-
ing. Sometimes persona am placed. there who Willa symptom of
disorderly conduct in the workhouse and infrinna eldhe regulations of
the establishment, and who am repratedly adanitted Into the place
after having bees allowed to depart."
The Commlisiener ; "Can you inferrn oa why the young man Buck-
ingham was plated in the refractory ward I" —Mr. Lee : "An individual
was ordered to be consigned to that place for confinement, when
Buckingham improperly interfered in his brhall. Permas of disor-
derly habits in the house, or out of it, and able-bodied applicant.,
women a, well na men, who conduct themselves improperly, are also
placed therein."
The Commissioner : "Who determines o n their mimisaiim P"—Wit.
nee: " I exercise my 0114 discref ion, but generally bring the matter
before the board at their next sitting."
The Commissioner proceeded to interrogate the witness at great
length as to the rations produced Dente the board at their recent
inquiry.—Mr. Lee, in reply, astsured the covinsiaioner that the
rations produced were a fair sample, except the ballot • of beef. lie
was serving the KWIC to the oakum ward that day, it harms been left
from the Sunday previously. Ile further stated that the minutes of
the house had arrays supplied to them the true weight and quality of
erery article, in precise accordance with the dietary table. lie writs
quite certain that the sample of the porridge and broth exhibited to
the board were of the some character an that tonally allowed to the
pauper.. The porridge would necessarily become thicker when cold.

So far so good. This is a very forcible statement of
Mr. LEE'S case. Nothing can be more satisfactory—
to Mr. LEE and Mr. HOWARTH. But where is the
examination ? We want the paupers who swore to
the very reverse of all this ; and the guardians who
confirmed their testimony. Where is Warn? Where
is Mr. SMITH ? and where—in a word, where is
everybody except Mr. LEE himself?
Even on his own showing, however, Mr. LEE must
be regarded as a person rather unsatisfactory in his
definitions. His definition of a " refractory pauper,"
for example, is a specimen of the idem per Mena.
By refractory paupers Mr. LEE understands " dis-
orderly persons generally speaking"—much too gene-
rally speaking, we would suggest to Mr. LEE. Then
we don't exactly like the notion of Mr. LEE " exer-
cising his discretion." We should imagine it rather
a skittish animal to exercise ; given to bolting and
shying, and kicking and biting, and general habits
of viciousness and ill-temper towards paupers. Mr.
LEE " assures" the Commissioners that everything is

as it should be. This is proof of nothing but Mr.
LEE'S power of assurance ; and that was amply proved
already.
Miss STONE'S examination is to the same tune. No-
body is called to disprove her assertions, if disprove-
able. She makes out an excellent case for herself.
And thus, we are told, " The commissioner concluded
his examination." A very pleasant mockery indeed ;
_ .

and, if correctly reported, worthy of all that has pre-
ceded it. But we cannot believe the accuracy of
the account. The paupers were examined. LEE and
his accusers were confronted. Miss STONE was not
allowed to have it all her own stony way. Though we
find no mention of these facts in any newspaper.
If this be otherwise, and the report of " the exami-
nation" be a true one, it is time that the Poor-law
Commission took its place among other mockeries,
in the Limbo of " shams."

THE more detailed account of the state of affairs at
Wellington (New Zealand), which we this day pub-
lish, arc, on the whole, re-assuring. We feel confi-
dent that the handful of regular soldiers on the spot,
in co-operation with the armed and organised settlers
and friendly natives, are quite adequate to repel any
attack RANGIHAEATA might be fool-hardy enough to
venture upon. The Calliope can cover any point
along the shore line from Porirua to the mouth of the
Hutt. The outposts on the Hutt, and in the vicinity
of Porirua, are judiciously placed, and conateted by
intermediate stations with Wellington. The soldiers
and the settlers alone, by their intellectual superiority
to the natives, under the guidance of skilled com-
manders, are, now that the alarm has been taken,
more than a match for any rabble that RANGHIA EATA
can bring against them; and the real natives of the
Hutt know the man too well, not to be loyal to the
settlers as their only defenders from his savage
oppression.

We note these facts for the consolation of the many
families in all parts of the kingdom who will be
troubled by the disastrous intelligence from Welling-
ton. We can confidently assure them that their
friends there are, in little immediate personal danger.
But we have no intention to undervalue the permanent
evils which RANGIIIAEATA'S movement must inflict
upon New Zealand. The outsettlers in the Welling-
ton district have abandoned their stations and are
flocking to the town. The necessity of enrolling, drill-
ing, and holding in constant readiness for defence, has
put a stop to business. The trade and the agriculture
of the settlement are alike brought to a stand. This
succession of alarms may induce the more timid to quit
Wellington ; it certainly will have the effect ofchecking
immigration for some time tocome. The evil will not be
confined to the Wellington district. The news will
spread like wild-fire through New Zealand, reviving
it may be the fighting spirit within the old chief of
Taupo ; re-inspiring, beyond a doubt, hopes of su'cess-
ful resistance in Heki. The war of races, so often
foreboded, may be the consequence ; a war which
must be protracted and annoying, not from the num-
bers or daring of the natives, but from the immense
space over which it must be waged, and the facility
thus afforded for broken bands to evade pursuit and
submission.

None who have watched the progress of events in
New Zealand, can entertain a doubt that It ‘NGI-
IIAEATA'S partial success on the Hutt has been the
consequence of the same gross mismanagement
which has characterised all proceedings of the local
Governnient in New Zealand, from the day on
which Governor HOBSON landed, down to that
upon which Governor GREY assumed the reins of
Government. The New Zealand Spectator indeed
broadly hints (and has done so before) that the
conduct even of Governor GREY has not, in relation
to the affairs of the Hutt, been so energetic and con-
sistent as could have been wished. The colonists,
however, so far as we can judge from private letters,
do not share in this mistrust. Moreover, it is
obvious that Governor GREY'S parting instructions
have been culpably and unaccountably disobeyed. lie
gave orders for the erection of defences on the Hutt.
This, under the shallow pretext of economy, was left

unperformed. The demonstrations ordered to be made
in the direction of RANGIIIAEATA, were made in such a
way as to inspire him with distrust and uneasi-
ness, but not to impress him with fear. And notwith-
standing trustworthy intelligence received from native
sources of his intentions, such an insufficient watch
was kept, that he was enabled to surprise an outpost
by an assault, in which one settler and six British
soldiers lost their lives.

But Governor GREY might be at Wellington in ten
days after the despatch of our most recent letters. It
is to be hoped that his arrival would be the signal for
the dismissal of the last of the official incapables,
bequeathed as a plague to New Zealand by the lion-
SON-SHORTLAND, and FITZROY administrations.

We have received the Paris Journals of Thursday
with our private correspondence.
The article published by M. de Lamartine, has
reopened the question of the Spanish marriages. It
is, however, to be remarked, that the Journal des
DThats does not take the least notice of the opinions
published by the celebrated Deputy of Macon.
The Constieulionnel has the following, in reference
to a second note sent by the British Ambassador,
the Marquis of Normanby, to M. Guizot, on Monday
last:

" When the rews arrived in London that the Duke de
Montpensier had certainly departed fer Madrid, a council
of the English ministers assembled, under the influence of
very strong diasati,faction. The announcement of the
departure of the Duke de Montpensier serving as the only
reply to a diplomatic communication, was considered by
the English Cabinet as an offensive proceeding. It is
notorious to all what secrecy surrounds in England every
Cabinet council, and therefore the measures determined
on in this deliberation are not accurately known. This,
however, is what has been allowed to transpire. Another I
note was despatched both to Madrid and Paris. That for
our Cabinet was to have been presented on Monday by Lord
Normanhy to M. Guizot. This time it is no longer a ques-
tion of observations and representations. The marriage is
considered as a fait accompli. The English Cabinet adds
to its protest formal declarations and reservations! It de-
clares that the principal and veritable object of the treaty of
Utrecht was to raise an absolute obstacle to the union of the
two crowns of France and Spain on the same head. It is
perfectly true that at the present moment such a union
is not on the tapis, but it becomes possible hereafter, by the

union of the eventual rights of the Duke de Montpensier to
the Crown of France, with the not distant claims of the
Infanta to the Crown of Spain. It is tint of all on this sub-
ject that England makes her reservations. She next shows
that, in order to ensure the object of the treaty of Utrecht,
the contracting powers had taken a certain number of pre-
eauth,ns ; amongst which is the renunciation of the Hour- of
Orleans to the crown of Spain, under whatever farm that
crown might come to its descendant,. But it appears evident
to the British ministry that this precaution, this clause, is
formally violated by the marriage, and this is also the object
of the protest of the British cabinet, and of the reservations
which it makes relative to the conduct it may think fit to
observe ulteriorly. The note, as we arc positively assured,
declares that the only arrangement that could satisfy Eng-
land would be the renunciation of the Infanta Louisa to the
crown of Spain for her and her descendants from the mo-
ment she becomes Duchess do Montpensier. Finally,
the English cabinet, it is said, expresses a firm persuasion
that the other powers which signed the treaty of Utrecht,
and all the great states of Europe, will look at this question
of balance of power in the same light as Great Britain does.
Instructions in this sense appear to have been sent to the
representatives of England at Vienna, Berlin, and St.
Petersburg."
Mr. Bulwer has been desired to absent himself
from Madrid during the festivities attending the
nuptials, than protesting publicly by his absence.
the Count de Bresson will quit Madrid on leave
for two months, immediately after the Duke de Mont-
pensier's marriage.
The French Squadron of Evolution, says Le Ton-
lonnafs, in the Mediterranean is still anchored in our
roadstead, awaiting orders. Admiral Quernel is in
command during the absence of Prince de Joinville.
A telegraphic despatch, dated from Madrid, Oct. 6,
received this morning by the French government,
announces the arrival of the French Princes at
Madrid, and adds (of course) that their reception was
triumphant.
The Spanish Ambassador at Paris will give, on
Saturday (this day), a grand diplomatic banquet in
honour of the Queen of Spain's birthday and the royal
marriages. The Marquis of Normanby has accepted
the invitation of M. Martinez de la Rosa.

Many conjectures have been spread abroad as to
the opinion of Prince :Metternich upon the Spanish
marriages. I can state upon the best authority, that
he most emphatically expressed his " entire indif-
ference about the marriages themselves, that he would
not have any objections to offer against the marriage
of the Dec de Montpensier to the Queen herself, but
as the question seemed to hurt the feelings of the
English Government to such an extent as to induce a
fear that the European alliances would be thereby
disturbed, he could not help blaming most energeti-
cally the conduct of the French Government in the
affiir." _ _ _

We have received the Algiers journals of the 30th
ult. The ..Voniteur dityerit n states that the appre-
hensions which were entertained respecting the main-
tenance of tranquillity on the western frontier, have
for the moment been removed by the retreat of Boa-
May.a, and that the ill-success of Abd-el-Kader in his
last projects has permitted General Cuvaignac to re-
turn with his column to Djema Ghazaouat. There is
nothing else of interest in these journals.
The Prase, alluding to the treaty of commerce and
navigation between France and Russia, says :
" The ratifications of the treaty of commerce lat el y concluded
with Russia are not yet exchanged ; but this formality will pass
within a few days. We believe we are warranted in s►7ing
that the new treaty provides that the enormous share given
to other flags in the intercourse between the two nations is
reduced to a level with those of the two contracting powers.
This treaty has given rise to a question of legality. Without
waiting until it could be confirmed by the Chambers, whose
approbation is necessary for such clauses as modify the navi-
gation and tonnage duties, the government has sent orders
to our principal commercial ports, that the new stipulations
be immediately carried into execution so far as they relate
to Russian vessels. On this there can be but one opinion,
viz., that the ministry has assumed a power which does not
lawfully belong to it; it has anticipated the decision of par-
liament, and the regularity of its conduct may be digitated in
a strictly legal point of view. The ministry, therefore, must
apply to the Chamber a for a bill of indemnity ; and the more
their conduct is inquired into the more it will appear that
there never was an occasion on which this indemnity was
better deserved."

It appears from our Madrid letters and journals, of
the 3rd instant, that the Count de Wesson was to
leave Madrid on the sth instant, to meet the French
Princes at Alcobandas. It was reported (confirming
the statement given above from our Paris correspond-
ent) that Mr. Itulwer was to leave Madrid on the 3rd
fur Aranjuez, with Senor Salamanca and some other
personages of the Opposition. The Senate, on the
2nd instant, passed the bill for the levy of 25,000
men. On adjourning the house, the President in-
formed the peers that they would be summoned at
their houses tor the next meeting—thus virtually pro-
roguing the session.
A letter from Cadiz of the 27th ult., in the Ever-
tador of Madrid, states that the English fleet is still
cruising between Cape St. Vincent and Trafalgar.
This letter adds, that a very active correspondence is
kept up between Mr. Bulwer and Admiral Parker, by
means of a steamer which hears to and from the squa-
dron the messengers sent from Madrid. It is confi-
dently affirmed in the same letter that the squadron
is at the orders of Mr. Bulwer.
