SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived.
The Herald') says—
" We believe we can positively announce that the
English Government has refused to accept the resigna-
tion offered by Lord Howden of the post of ambassador
at Madrid, which be sent when Lord Palmerston left
the Ministry. This is an additional proof that the Eng-
lish Cabinet will follow the same line of policy as that
established by Lord Palmersten. For our part, we con
gratulate ourselves that Lord Howden remains in our
capital; for it would be difficult for England to find a
more proper agent to represent her at Madrid, and to
preserve and draw closer the ties of friendship and good
intelligence so advantageous to the two countries.
" It is stated that M. Bravo Murillo, President of the
Council, has definitively declined to accept the order of
the Golden Fleece offered by her Majesty. He repre-
sented to the Queen that, on retiring from the Cabinet,
his position would be too modest to enable him to sup-
port in a becoming way the rank attached to such a
high dignity. The Gulden Fleece has been conferred
on M. X. de Isturitz, Spanish Minister in London. The
Marquis do Viluma has been appointed Minister PleT-
poteniiary in the Two Sicilies. The rumours of Minis-
terial changes had entirely ceased."

MEETING a PARLIAMENT
London, England, 1852-02-03

etTtnitt aims

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1852,

Important changes may now be reasonably ex•
pected as the certain consequence of the Royal cere.
monial which this afternoon accompanied the re.
assembling of Parliament. It will be perceived a
once that, according to an invariable custom, the
Royal Speech consists of nothing more than vague
generalities—generalities so vague that it must in-
fallibly be contemned, as a mere collection of plati-
tudes, but that it comes before the nation ostensibly,as
the personal utterance of the SOVEREIGN. Nothing
can at any time be conjectured with certainty as to
the future policy of the Government merely from the
hints thrown out through the medium of this minis-
terial document. It is merely from the discussions
which have ensued in reference to the usual answers to
the Speech from the Throne that the public can obtain
the first glimpse of what are in reality the veritable
designs of the Administration. Seeing that this is no-
toriously the case under ordinary circumstances, it
cannot be surprising that upon the occasion of a po-
litical crisis like the present there should be a more
than customary indistinctness thrown by the Cabi-
net over the intentions of its membev, and that the
debates should be left more peculiarly to unfold the
labyrinth
of their emharassraents. This considera-
tion may account in a great measure for what might
otherwise be matter of surprise as well as of disap.
ballot, and no tide
pointment. A shadowy promise of a Reform
Bill, in which there will be no mention of the
the wayf qua.e p
ofohs ranchisements, cannot by any
means satisfy the Hate olitical purgative in
over the positionlong excited curiosity of
the multitude. On the contrary,
of affairsa more
vigilance
the very veil cast
'atch with
the result of the forthcoming discussions.
Out to
those discussions must come forth a variety of

This Society is essentially one of Mutual Assurance, in which
the Premiums of its Members are reduced after kepen years.
The rate of reduction of the Premiums for the last year was
69 per sent., leaving less than One-third of the original Premium
to be paid.
The Society also undertakes other descriptions of Assurance, in
which the Assured do not become Members, and having ceased to
allow any commission to Agents, the Society has been enabled to
reduce the Premiums for this class of Assurances to the following
very low rates :

London, England, 1852-11-17

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The money market exhibits continued ease, with a
slight tendency to reduction in the rates on short and
long loans. The supply of money, both from foreign and
domestic sources, is weekly increasing. Loans on de-
mand, with adequate collaterals, are readily negotiated
at 5 per cent., and prime business paper is passed at 54
to 6 per cent., 60 days ; and 6 to 64 per cent., three to
four months.

The stock market shows an increased demand for lead-
ing American State Securities. For Government Six
per Cents. the demand is rather beyond the supply. The
advance is generally in nearly all the State Loans, and
fully commensurate with the additional interest accumu-
lated.

COTTON.—The sales on the Ist instant were upwards
of 2,000 bales, and to-day 1,600, the market closing
steadily at improved prices.
BREADSTUFFS.—The transactions in breadstuffs during
the last fortnight show an increased confidence on the
part of both holders and purchasers, which has been
greatly strengthened by the lateness of the season (not
over thirty days in which to receive our fall and winter
stocks), and also by the moderate daily supplies, the
amount of which (particularly) of the common shipping
qualities but little exceeds the local wants.

•
FREIGHTS.—There is an active demand for vessels to
go south and load, and engagements haVe been made
from Savannah to Liverpool at id. To Glasgow—Flour
was shipped at 2s. 6d., wheat Bd. to 84d., rosin 25.,

sult.
