on th 3 throne longer than they deserved to reign. -We
might have recompensed ourselves for our services at
the expense of France ; but the treaty of Vienna is a
monument of our generous disinterestedness, and, of
the zeal with which we laboured to preserve intact the
territory of our great Continental neighbour. Where-
ever France has been successful since that period we
have rejoiced with her ; and when internal outrages

hreatened the stability of her Government, we have

invariably deplored their existence, and pointed out
what seemed to us the most effectual way of removing
them, with the least detriment to the nation. We can
assure the Royalist faction that we are equally disin-
terested as regards the Peninsula. We want not to
deprive Spain of an inch of territory, either on the
Calabrian coast or any where else. All we desire is
to see the country tranquil, and the Government so
constituted as to recognize the just rights, and obtain
the entire confidence of the Spanish people. San
Sebastian is one of the four keys of the kingdom, and
were we to relinquish its defence, the QUEEN'S Govern-
ment could not prevent its being made the depot of the
Carlists. Under the Sardinian flag the Great Northern
Powers would pour supplies into the Basques, and
thus an European war would be the immediate result
of a less friendly co-operation on the part of Great

Britain.
The following account of the victory gained by
CARBO, in Catalonia, is official:--
" The Spanish Consul at Perpignan has sent details of the
victory gained by Carbo in Catalonia, which show that this
affair was of much greater importance than it appeared to
be from the telegraphic despatch given on Wednesday.
The united bands of Forcadell, Tristany, Mallorca, and
Saballs were engaged in it. According to a letter addressed
to the Consul on th 9 3d from Olot, Carbo led several
charges in person at the head of the cavalry, and made
dreadful havoc among the Carlists. He was obliged to use
all his influence with his men to induce them to giie quarter.
This letter states that several of the Carlist chiefs were
killed, and among them Saballs and Mallorca, and adds that
Tristany was at one time a prisoner, but was rescued by
one of his own men. Tue Consul has also received a letter
of the sth from the political chief of Girona, which agrees
with that from Olot in stating that the Carlists had 300
men killed, but makes the prisoners amount to 150 instead
of 103, and adds that they had 800 wounded, and lost.
1,000 muskets. This letter also adds to the deaths of Sa-
balls and Mallorca tint of Forcadell, which, as is above ob-
served, must be erroneous, since that chief is with Cabrera
in Arragon."

Accounts from Naples of the 26th ult. state that
the cholera continues to rage with unabated fury in
that city. Out of a population of 30,000 as many as
7,000 were carried off by the epidemic.
The following statement relative to the finances and
educational improvement of Rtisia is interesting
:
A report from the Russian Minister of Finance, M.
Krankin, shows that the National Debt amounts to
936,333,574 roubles five kopecks (in paper money
1,051,966,931 francs), a very considerable burden for this
empire, which, with its immense territories, has but a
limited revenue, and, at the same time, is sulicet to
an enormous necessary expenditure. The St. Peters-
burgh journals contain an imperial uk&se of -the 2:2d ult.,
ordering the establishment of two central schools for
the education of the children of the poor nobles of the
Polish provinces incorporated with Russia, and also for
the children of persons employed in the Government ser-
vice in that part of the country. One is to be erected at
Grodno, the other at Kicw. The funds necessary for their
maintenance are to be raised by a sort of land-tax, and
where this is inadequate, the deficiency is to be supplied
from the Imperial Treasury. When qualified, the scholars
are to be removed to one of the Universities of Moscow,

Krakow, Kiew, or Casan, and, on their education being
completed, are to serve the Government for eight years.
If they are Roman Catholics, Protestants, Mahometans, or
Jews, they are to serve five of these years in one of the
Governments of Great Russia, and the remaining three in
that in which they were born. Those who are of the Greek
church are to have immediate appointments in their native
Governments. After the expiration of eight years, they are
at liberty either to continue in the service of the Govern-
ment, or to follow their own pursuits."
Annexed are the only other extracts worthy of
notice. We suspect that from the Gazette de France
to be merely a fabrication :
We have not yet the official account of the advantage
gained in Catalonia by General Carbo, announced in the
telegraphic dispatch of the 9th from Narbonne ; but parti-
culars collected from different quarters have been trans-
mitted to Paris by the French Consul at Perpignan. These
statements make it much more important than it appears.to
be in the telegraphic dispatch.—Journal des Debugs.

" Private letters from Catalonia inform us that General
Tristany, having under his command Lears de Copones and
'l'orilla, has completely defeated at the village of Veladean
the Christine Brigadier General Carbo, who had nearly
800 men killed and wounded, and from whom the Carlists
have taken 400 prisoners."

The ill health of Sir William Follett has rendered a
change of climate absolutely necessary. The Learned Gen-
tleman left England for the Mediterranean a few days since.

Lord Charles Spencer Churchill is recovering from
the dangerous disease under which he has been labouring
for the last three weeks, and from which, at the early pe-
riod of his illness, but little hopes of recovery were enter-
tained. His Lordship's disease is an internal abscess, for
which he is attended by Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Teevan, who,
we believe, now entertain little doubt respecting his Lord-
ship's ultimate recovery.

The funeral of the late Dowager Duchess of Leeds
will take place on Tuesday next. Several branches of the
family have arrived in town from Scotland. A vault is in
the course of preparation in the cemetery in Edgeware-
road.

mated that from May, 183 G, to May, 1837, there were
shipped from four Scotch ports (Leith, Dundee, Aberdeen,
and Inverness) to London and Hull 9,606 cattle, 6,613
sheep, 7,569 lambs, 197 horses, and 2,162 pigs. In addi-
tion to these there were also shipped 11,621 barrel-bulk (or
about 1,500 tons) of killed meat. This is exclusive of the
trade from the south-western parts of Scotland. The
wharfage at London on live stock is very heavy, varying
from 3s. to ss. for a single ox. s.

Post-office.

all such carriages are liable to be charged unless the name

!NSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY)

(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.)
Jeremiah Sever, whose case was before the Court on a
former occasion, was brought up again to-day.. The insol-
vent's discharge was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for a person
named Newsom, and supported by Mr. WOODRUFFE.
The insolvent, an old and decrepid captain in the navy, on
half-pay, became acquainted four years ago with his op-
posing creditor, Newsom, who had been in the Commissa-
riat Department, iu White Cross-street prison, in which
place, singularly enough, they were now both ensconsed. It
appeared they had resided together, and various money
transactions had taken place between them. Newsom was
possessed of some property, which he mortgaged, and after-
wards he accepted accommodation bills, on which he was
arrested in consequence of their not being paid. The prin-
cipal features in the case were as to a mortgage granted by
Newsom to the insolvent, for a very considerable sum ;
and also as to the existence or non-existence of an
account-book, in which the consideration for that mort-

gage was stated. The evidence in both instances being
conflicting, the consideration of the case on the pre-
vious hearing was adjourned for more satisfactory evi-
dence. The insolvent, who had been in the infir-
mary of the prison since his incarceration, was a Lieute-
nant in the navy at the time of the mutiny at the Nore, and
was •one of the officers most active in securing Parker, the
principal instigator of that disgraceful affray. After a good
deal of discussion the case was further adjourned. to the
sittings after the recess, and was ordered to be referred to
Mr. Cresswell, the Examiner, for further inquiry.
The Insolvent complained bitterly of being again sent to
prison.
