banner transacted at Wolverhampton on quarter.ilay has
not been large, but today it was much smaller than usual,
and there was evidently a marked indisposition on the part
at consumer, to enter into engagements, however moderate.
The owe of this dulness it is not easy to trace, but ,4 its
salience there can be no doubt whatever, and when the

direct contrast in this respect with that which took place
three months ago, when a fair snout of beekeem was
done, and the most sanguine anticipation' were erterleined
as to the excellence of the prospects of, the trade for this
quarter-day.
Bose of the modems of finished ilea reported tiristy
that they had orders sufficient to go on with ; bet it is to

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 12.

Meilomat a Cease
afriskted a conquering Court with apprehension
for the essurity of its power, no one acquainted
with the real political condition of Spain is in
danger of suspecting that the plot of Morrewoue
and thaws ever had • broad or solid basis. All the
principles with which Carlism has been associated in
Spain are defunct, and all the visible institutions by
which Carlism was supported have beep destroyed.
To suppose the existence of • wide-spread scheme
for the restoration of a civil and sacerdotal
despotism, attended by all the violence and artifice
of which Le;citiruacy constitutes itself the hideous
sanction, is to presume the existence of the lost
elements of political and ecclesiastical reaction. If
we glance at the Spain that existed in 1830, we
shall without difficulty understand the causes of the
grinding despotism that characterised the intimate
union between the Papacy and the State, and
the grovelling obedience to priestly craft that
marked the conduct of the peasantry. There was
then a resident and, as it were, half-feudal and
median's! nobility, perpetually imposing extreme
laws of servile obedience ; there was then a
wealthy secular priesthood, as perpetually incul-
cating extreme doctrines of intellectual degrada-
tion ; and there was • still richer organisation of
regular ecclesiastics, known only by the ten Aeries
which they owned, by the amuse whom they
ground down, by the sanctions which they in-
voked, and by the support which they in turn re-
ceived. And in spite of the military revolt which
brought down on the Liberals of Spain the divine
wrath of the Congress of Verona, there was but
one occasion on which the army professed • will
apart from the behests of the Throne. This system,
all these institutions, were the pillars of Carbon ;
and, until they were extinguished, it is not sur-
prising that the Carlist party remained in great
force and authority in Spain. But all this, or
nearly all this, is gone ; and to measure the
extreme possible breadth of • Carlist movement
in 1860 we need hut briefly glance at the social
and political changes which the Spanish nation
has since experienced.
It is well known that the political constitutions
which have succeeded each other since the death of
FERDINAND VII., although they have been occa-
sionally prominent for the distinctions they have
drawn between the relative interests of the Moderado
and Progresista parties, have never failed to be ohs-
racteriaed by a design to exclude the Carlist party
from representation in the Cortes; this aim has been
as firmly pursued by N•EV A RE, O'DONNELL, and
R 11.1.4 &AAA on the one hand, as by &PARTIED and
Conan& on the other. The Progreristas have
shaped their policy in the sternest opposition to
the reactionary interests ; and the Moderados
have oscillated between the same policy and an
occasional appropriation in the Quaint's interest
of such fee elements of reaction as Motrrium.rit
might fairly have laid his hands on. Thus while
the Progresutaa have consistently pursued prin-
ciples of liberty, we find the Moderados, in the
service of eIIItIATIN A in 1836, actually commenc-
ing the sequestration of the property of the
regular ecclesiastics ; and yet at another
time, in 1867, turning round upon their
own reforms, and drawing up a concordat with the
Papal Court, thereby pressing the few relics of
Carlist influence into the service of laisst.i.a and
their own party. The policy of Administrations
has thus added to the forms of the constitutions

has just

that have at different time• exiatrd in exhausting
Carlin wherever revolutionary influence had nut
extuatled.

But in the heart of the country we shell find
stronger indium= of this change. The regulars
