Our accounts from Madrid are of the Bth inst.
The Gazette publishes the following Royal de-
cree :

Considering the motives, founded on the bad state
of his health, exposed to us by Don Manuel de Pando,
Marquis of Miraflores, Senator of the Kingdom, and
Minister for Foreign Affairs, I accept the resig,nstion he
has tendered me of those functions, remaining perfectly
satisfied with the zeal and devotedness with which he
has filled them. I name Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Don Manuel Bertran de Lys, the present Minister of
the Interior. Appreciating the special qualifications of
Don Melchior Ordonez y Viane, Governor of the pro-
vince of Madrid
—Palace of San Ildefonso, Aug. 6, 1852.
"
, I appoint him Minister of the Interior.
(Signed) The QUEEN.
" The President of the Council of Ministers,
" JUAN BRAVO MURILLO."
The Herald° has the following :
" Our correspondent in La Granja attributes the re-
signation of the Marquis of Miraflores to the decision
taken in Council to dissolve the Corns—a measure to
which he was opposed. The King is gone to make an
excursion in the neighbouring mountains. The French
Ambassador intends to give a banquet. on the 15th, to
celebrate the Grand National Feast of France."
The Gaceta Illilitar announces that the squadron of
guards of the QUEEN was to be re-organized, and
formed hereafter of two companies, the second of
which is to be commanded by M. JUAN CAHN'.
It being Sunday, the Bourse remained closed.

GERMAN Y.
We have already announced the departure for
Vienna of an envoy from the Pontifical Court, charged
with an important mission.
We have just learned that this envoy is Prince
HOHENLOHE, one of the personages who is honoured
with the confidence of the Porn.
The object of this mission is to negotiate the eva-
cuation of the Roman States by the troops of Austria
and Prance, as the POPE considers that the Pontifical
army, which now numbers more than 70,000 men,
is sufficient at present to meet all need.
The Saxon Minister, AI. VON BRUST, who came to
Vienna a few days since, accompanied by a director
of the customs, had numerous conferences with the
Ministers, and having now returned, it is asserted
that M. VoN BRUST proposed to Austria the forma-
tion of a new customs group, equally independent of
Austria and Prussia.
The exchange of a frequent diplomatic correspond-
ence between our Cabinet and that of the Porte is
commented upon in well-informed circles. The
Porte, it appears, has been long requesting our Go-
vernment to explain the cause of not having yet no-
minated an Austrian representative at Constantinople,
whereas the Turkish envoy was still accredited at
Vienna. Our Cabinet has replied that the present
epoch does not appear to it the most opportune for
the nomination of such an envoy. Allusion is here
supposed to be made to the state of things in Bosnia,
respecting
dressed a special note to the Porte.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS •DAY;)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
Although the supply of English Wheat on sole in
to•day's market was somewhat on the increase, the ar-
rival of that grain, coastwise, since Saturday, amounted
to 2 910 quarters, and the attendance of buyers by no
means large. The demand ruled steady, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on Monday last. and a good
clearance was effected. From abroad, 1,830 quarters of
Wheat have come to hand. We had a Lair, but by no
means active, inquiry for that article, at fully previous
rates. There was more doing in floating cargoes. The
show of Barley being on the increase, the demand was
less active, yet prices were well supported. In Malt,
very little was doing, but no decline was submitted to
in prices. Larger quantities of Oats having arrived
from Ireland and abroad, the trade was dull, and in-
ferior qualities were 6d. per quarter lower. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn, commanded very little atten-
tion, but Flour was quite as dear.

DRURY-LINE THEATRE.

A divertissement produced last ev,ning at this
theatre, tinder the title of the Star of the Rhine, met
with cotnplete. success. The plot ik not, very intri-
cate. Mademoiselle Plunkett displays a world of
vigour and agility in front of a very pretty Rhenish
view, and the whole piece is too light and Graceful
to be tedious. Indeed, Plunkett danced her best ;
and tier best, we all know, is something very beauti-
ful and winning. In one particular pas she rivalled
Fanny Elseler herself in the delivery of close twinkling
steps, involving the most elaborate intricacies of the
art,, coupled with a steadiness, sharpness, and elegance
th 4 t seemed to leave nothing in the way of dexte-
?lt, unachieved. The staid and puritanical burgo-
'aster (W. H. Payne) might well be overcome by
such freaks of foot; and we could not marvel at his
infatuation when he lurched to and fro, inspired by
the good-humoured face and wonderful ronds de
Jambe of the nymph with the pink legs. The worthy
functionary having broken his own law, and even
atatnped upon it with his own heel, superintends, with
a OF w-born zest, a variety of other dances. He is
regtiled with a Pas Espagnol by Sunbeam and the
akoesaid swain in tights—a Valse Tyrolienne by the
!Uses in the village—and a galop general. Sunbeam
htt ving thus vindicated the glory of the art of which
811 e is the "genius," slides up the slope into the bush
• ft ora whence she came, and is seen no more.

The trial took place with closed d loors. The public

demned to six months' imprisonm loot, and M. Bart-
DELBEN, formerly editor of the Co rastitutiono2 Gazette,

GEItMAN Y.

Count HENRY D'Aarnm, Member of the First
Chamber of Prussia, and formerly MinistEr of Fo-
reign Affairs, and Ambassador in France and Bel-
gium, was on the 21st tried by the Chamber of the
Criminal Senate of Berlin for having published two
speeches, one delivered in the First Chamber, the
other intended to have been delivered, containing in-
sults and calumnious attacks on the Government.
The trial took place with closed doors. The public
prosecutor demanded that the Count should be con-
demned to six months' imprisonment, and M. BAR.
DELBEN, formerly editor of the Constitutional Gazette,
who printed the speeches, to three. But the Court
only sentenced the former to a fine of 200 thalers,
and the latter to 100 thalers (the Prussian thaler
is 3f. 75c.) The accused intended, it is said, to
appeal.
The Prince DE LIGNE arrived at Vienna on the
19th, on, it is said, a special mission from the KING
of the BELGIANS.

The Austrian Lloyds states that the working en-
gineers at Vienna, who had recently solicited the
Minister of Commerce to regulate the hours of
labour, have hopes that their efforts will be crowned
with success. The Minister has received their appli-
cation favourably, and has promised to attend to all
their claims which shall be considered to be well
founded. The question has already been discussed in
presence of two delegates from the workmen.
Letters from Vienna state that, in consequence of
differences of opinion between the ARCHDUILE, Go-
vernor of Hungary, and Count APPONT, one of the
chiefs of the Consultative Committee, the definitive
organization of Hungary has been again postponed.
A letter, in the Correspondent of Bohemia, states
that the communications between the military fron-
tier and Lower Bosnia are completely interrupted ;
and several Austrian subjects, who had gone to Bos-
nia on commercial business, had been arrested and
compelled to return to Austria. This measure is
attributed to the discovery of a conspiracy, and the
frontiers are strictly watched, to prevent the escape
of the conspirators. The rajahs have been already
disarmed.

The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree, dated the
10th of the present month, opening to the linister of
Finance a credit of 300,000 f. applicable to the per-
sonal expenses of the Chief of the State. This credit
is opened as an advance on the sum to be hereafter
allowed to the PRESIDENT of the Republic by a se-
natus-consultum, in conformity with Art. 15 of the
Constitution. Another decree opens to the Minister
of Justice, from the Budget of 1851, a supplementary
credit of 750,000 f., applicable to the expenses of cri-
minal justice.
A decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic offers
a reward of 50,000 f. to such person as shall render

The Courrier de Marseille states that a new com-

BELGIUM.

According to Brussels papers of the 11th inst. The
Belgium public is dEeply interested at this moment
with the question of the treaty with France. The
mutual conventions ceased to be in force on the even-
ing of the 9th, and no official announcement respect-
ing the hoped for prolongation had yet been received.
The Moniteur says--" The convention concluded
with France on the 13th of December, 1845, ex-
pired on the 9th of August, 1852. After the 10th,
and while waiting fot the results of the negotiations
now being carried on It Paris, the general tariff duties
will be applied to the merchandise comprised in this
international act." _ _

The Eman ipator asserts that the statu quo will be
maintained for the tern of five months, and that the
Chambers will be immediately convoked to sanction
the prolongation of th 3 treaty.
The Observateur announces as a report that the
Ministry has received a telegraphic dispatch from
Paris, announcing tha; a provisional convention, pro.
longing for six months the treaty of commerce be-
tween Belgium and France, will be signed imme-
diately at Paris by the French and Belgian negotiators.

LONDON, FRIDAY. AUGUST 13, 1852

is. very marvellous calculation has been published
by one of our Conservative Contemporaries. According
to this truthful and sagacious
resented b authority, the contrast
py the number of votes polled respectively
by the supporters of the Government and the sup-
porters of the Opposition reveals shortcoming on the side of an extraordinary
the latter
lack of resources or energy, of acnoudrsae, mameloanng-
cholY
the ranks of the Whig-Radicals. The sum total of
this remarkable estimate shows a clear majority of
out of 261,915 electors.. in. favour of the midi-
! 4,487
he Administration-128 744 being
dates of t
the number
of votes attributed to the whi—.
Radicals,
the Conservatives. The statement i:
and 133,231 to
sufficiently startling to challenge investigation. It is
startling, because we
are aware that only 284 of the
new Members are decided Derbyites, while the 368
652
constituting the entire
remaining out of the
House of Commona—[—k-
Alirns being disfranchised
as well as Sudbury, and ors too many having
been returned as elected by the constituency of
Liberals, or I'Knaresborough] are either L
Li-
beral - Conservatives. How, consequently, the
•
numbers polled can appear so diametrically opposed
to the calculation of the Members returned as repre-
sentatives, baffles, of course, at the superficial glance
every reasonable conjecture. That 284 Derbyite
Members should b.) opposed to 368 who are Liberals
or Liberal-Conservatives, and yet that the anti-
Ministerial voters should number 128,744, whereas
the Ministerial voters should number 133,231 ap-
pears on the face of the estimate beyond all credi-
bility, because really nothing less than a glaring and
intolerable contradiction.
A little inquiry, however, reveals clearly enough
how it is that the calculation has been thus
ingeniously
" cooked"
of d" hy our Contemporary. A very few illus-
trations his method will be enough to place the
matter clearly before the judgment of the community.
Take Middlesex as an example. There our Tory
