timcnt to stand in the' way of Rood
_fellowship. The
Ballot is better worth uniting for, than t 4. livioA any
liberal measure of the day. it, to a great extent,
hang the destinies of Ireland ; for there is no doubt
that it is the only means left of bringing the Lords to
a sense of their 3bity. Let es agitate tlien, and utai'fe
in favour of the Ballot, which gained, 0.'t.0 may ever
after la,ngh to scorn the wot7-7t dennriciations of Toryism:
While on this subject we cannot do better than
quote the authority of Sir FRANCIS iIIURDLTT, who
at a Conservative dinner given to him yesterday at
Devizes, says, " it was• his earnest advice to them to
lay aside sll frivolnus and "nmeanwg party appella.
!ions, and to co-operate zealously together as men
who loved their country, anti her laws,
for the preservation of the Constitution." The
advice which the apostate Baronet heir t.::nders to the
Tories, we tender to the Reformer-3. It is good coun-
sel, though it comes out of Nazareth I And
indced Sir FfIANCIS may well be proud of this morsel
of et-Manion sense, for it is the only tit-bit in his
speech—the solitary gem lying on the dung-
hill, .as -,Esoe mentions in one of his fables.
As for the rest of his oration—what is it but stale
abuse of O'CONNELL, mixed up with equal stale
praises of Irish Protestantism, which the very Orange-
men themselves will be the first to laugh at ? Sir
FRANCIS appears to think that Ireland is wholly
made up of the Ascendancy faction, and contains no
Catholic community who have wants and wishes
to be provided for. On this point he is reserved
enough, or if he allude to the subject at all, can see
nothing in Catholicism but a spirit of the blindest and
basest obedience to the behests of a parish Priest I And
yet, holding this one-sided notion, the Hon. Baronet
thinks himself a statesman I Of a verity, he has
much to learn, and still more to unlearn, before he can
venture to aspire to such a character. Even in the me-
ridian vigour of his manhood he was never remarkable
for political sagacity, however earnest may have been
his political predilections ; and sure we are that age has
not improved his judgment, or we should not now find
him jingling his cap and bells with such self com-
placency, and cutting such extraordinary capers in the
old cast-off clothes of Toryism.

By an advertisement which appears in The Sun of
this day, it will be seen that the subscription for
erecting a Memorial in honour of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON'S victories is rapidly increasing. As we
said before, we are glad that the proposal has been so
wall received ; for, regarding his Grace as a soldier—
and a soldier only—we feel that he deserves every
public compliment that; can be paid to him. The
conqueror of NAPOLEON-of him who subdued
Europe to his will—can scarcely be overrated—leas
of all, by his own countrymen.

he friends of order and of obedience to the laws
will observe with pleasure that the active and enlight-
ened magistracy of several of our great towns are ap-
plying the rod vigorously to the contumacious backs of
certain of the clergy who have taken upon themselves
to dispense with the requirements of the law in the
matter of registration. At Leeds a clergyman was
punished, last week, for an offence under the Act, and
at Wolverhampton three or four convictions, we under-
stand, have taken place. It is highly necessary that
the clergy should be kept under the strict surveillance
of the magistracy, or they will assuredly endeavour, by
every possible means, to stultify both the Registration
and Marriage Acts. They hate these Acts with a
" perfect hatred," because they lost by them two things
of which they are particularly fond, to which, indeed,
they are more attached than to anything else—power
and pelf. They have ceased to be the sole officers of
the State in the celebration of marriages, and this they
look upon as a humiliation. The cause of it they
justly attribute to the -Dissenters, and hence the in-
creased virulence with which they speak and act of
late towards members of that body. They cannot
brook the thought that any privilege, however unjustly
acquired or preserved, should be taken from them ; but
that it should be conferred upon any other ministers---
that it should be shared with any other then those who
have been sanctified by the imposition of episcopal hands,
is galling in the extreme. With respect to the Mar-
riage Aet, their conduct, though not so openly violat-
ing the law, is liable_ to the charge of evasion. They
have attempted, and are now attempting, to discourage
the celebration of marriage by Dissenters, except at
the altar of the Established Church, by every means,
whether fair or unfair, that their ingenuity can sug-
gest—by handbills stuck in the most public places,
and by pamphlets issued from the Press. A rare speci-
men of the meek spirit and Christian feeling towards
those who differ from him in religion, of which a clergy-
man of the Church of England thinks it his duty to
set an example, will be found in another part of our
paper. Prebendary Nollitis is, hovever, we arc sorry
to say, only one of a numerous elase. We believe lie
speaks the sentiments of the whole of the High Church
Clergy, who hate Dissent ten times more than Popery.
Before we close these remerks, we must take notice
of a deception which the Clergy are disseminating with
respect to the Marriage Act. They are propagating
tic belief that the law is not in the least altered as re-
eerde marriages eele.brated in the Church. Now it
ought to be generally known that this is not the fact—
that it is very far from being the fact—for by the law
as it no:t., stands, the disgusting practice of publishing
the banns—that is to say, exposing the parties about to
by married to the idle curiosity and gossip of the
parieli, by proclaiming their names for three succes-
sive Sundays before the congregation, is rendered
wholly unnecessary. The Clergyman is bound, and
dares not refuse, to perform the ceremony on the pro-
duction of the Registrar's certificate, stating that the
preliminary forms have been complied with. The
publication of banns, therefore, we repeat, which the
Clergy are anxious to keep up, is not necessary, and
should be disused by all decent persons.
Be the

y the Braganza steamer, which sailed from Oporto
on the 15th inst., we have received letters and papers
from Portugal of that date. The Constitutionalists had
experienced a reverse in the north by the desertion of
General ALMARGUEN'S division to the Chartists in
the vicinity of Valencia. The deserters first attempted
to join the enemy by stealth, but finding their com-
rades ready to follow their example, they seized upon
the artillery, and would have made their Gcneral
and his Staff' prisoners had they not made their
escape. The; Viscount das ANTAS has declared
himself in farour of a second Chamber, and insists
that before taking arms against the rebels, a pledge
shall be given him that the. Cortes will adopt such an
amendment in the Constitution, which (he adds) will
render it palatable to the Chartists. Upon the whole
we see no reason to change our first opinion, namely,
that the Constitution would be overturned by the trea-
chery of the Court,'and the intrigues of the QUEEN
and her husband, The Palace is the grand focus of
the rebellion.

Advices from Madrid to the 11th instant have been
received, but they contain no news of any general in-
terest. The capital WAS tranquil, and recent intelii-
ligence had satisfied the Government that the Carlists
would not hazard an attack upon it. The entrance of
E. SPARTERO into Cuenca had inspired the Constitu-
tionalists with fresh hopes of victory.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have
been received. They contain the following despatches
from Spain :

Prince ALExANDRit of Wurtemberg, the bride-
groom-elect of the King of the FRENCH'S second
daughter, MARY of Orleans, has ar; ived in Paris.
Preparations are making for the celebration of the nup-
tials. The PRINCESS'S dowry will be paid by. the
hING, so the Chamber of Deputies wi!i not be trou-
Yed about the settlement of pin-money upon another
daughter of France.

The new batch of Peers will consist of about forty,
which will include a large proportion of veteran Ge-
nerals. A few eminent lawyers will likewise be ele-
vated to seats in the Upper Chamber.
The English and French Government have jointly

appointed a Commission for settling the limits of the
Oyster Fisheries on the coasts of Normandy.
The following are extracts from the Journals :
The Sentinelle del rgrenees gives the following' of the
13th instant from the ,Spanish frontier :—" Colonel Gam-
barte, of the cavalry, and another officer of the same corps,
deserted on the sth from Tatallil, and went to Estella. On

„..
presenting themselves to General Garcia, they were but
coldly received. He had not forgotten that Gambarte
voted for the death of General Santos Ladron, who
was shot at Pampeluna in October, 1833. The inha-
bitants, who also recollected this transaction, shouted in
the streets ” Death to the traitor Gambarte !" General
Garcia placed the colonel under arrest."

" According to an official statement, at the last general
election there were 172,968 electors inscribed on the lists,
of whom 129,390 gave their suffrages. Of these, it is said,
about 80,000 voted for Ministerial, and 50,000 for Opposi-
tion, candidates. The same account states that there were
in the kingdom 5,205,414 persons who paid taxes, not
amounting to sf. per annum ; 5,242,846 paying from sf. to
100 f. ; and 45.5,271 paying above 100 f."

" The squadrons of Admirals Gallois and Lalande being
now united at Tunis, there seems no reason to apprehend
that the expedition to Constantine will be rendered more
difficult by the aid that Achmet Bey might receive from
the Porte. Our squadron, it is said, will remain before
Tunis till the Captain Pacha has returned to the Archipe-
lago, whichove think, he will soon do, since the influence
of Russia over the Sultan is not yet sufficiently great to
induce him to risk the fatal consequences of a second battle
of Navarin.

" The Turks, then, are now out of the question. But
does not their retreat leave untouched another question of
far greater importance than that whether Constantine would
be succoured. A report has been spread, and is confirmed,
that the English under the pretext of defending Ceuta
against the Emperor of Morocco are preparing to take
possession of that town, as they have Passages and St.
Sebastian ; in the same manner they now threaten to fix
themselves at Barcelona, in order, as they say, to rescue
that opulent city from the yoke of anarchy. Ceuta and
Gibraltar are the keys of the Mediterranean. The power
that should possess these two points would be able to close
the straits against the ships of all nations, and its cannon
would sweep it like the glacis of a citadel. Toulon, Mar-
v:dies, Barcelona, Naples, the islands of the Archipelago,
and even the Black Sea would have need of the per-
mission of England to pass the limits of ancient navigation,
and would be reduced to carry on a mere coasting trade.
" Thi■ is doubtless of little consequence to the French
Government, whose sole care with respect to foreign rela-
tions seems to be to gain the good will of all the old mo-
narchies, and get itself acknowledged by them : but it
is of great importance to Russia, which has entertained for
nearly a emtury the project of establishing at Constan-
tinople the seat of its maritime power, and which, if the
English were to plant their standard at Ceuta, would find
itself deprived in an instant of the fruit of ail the efforts
that it has made since the reign of Catherine 11. A jour-
nal which is printed at Paris, but which appears not to be
a stranger to the political considerations which actuate the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg, expressed this morning great
anger that France did not oppose the new enterprise of
Great Britain. W.: believe that the representative of the
Emperor Nicholas will hold the same language to the Ca-
binet of the Tuileries. If the English persist, it will be
obliged to break this peace at any price, which has cost it
most disgraceful sacrifices, and to take part in a quarrel,
in which we dare only act a subordinate part. It will be
constrained either to second the ambition of our neighbours
by closing against itself the ports of that sea, which ought
to have been a French lake, or to follow in the train of the
greatest enemy of modern civilization.
"Such are the political questions which at no remote date
will, perhaps, engage general attention on that coast of
Africa which our Government does not dare either to re-
ject or retain. It is to be present in this dispute that our
seamen are to continue their cruise. If other principles
had prevailed among us, they would doubtless have had to
act a more glorious part, and more advantageous to France."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

There is enit one Foreign mail in town this morning, and
it is French. The acconnts of Cotton are net gtilte so favour-
able; those of other merchandise tnUCh as last Voted:
4imon7Sl the imports t't the port of London; there are More
nt Irish prucince than there hat,e been stime, little time
past, but still nothing very prominent. We hate rtiqft wog
India produce, but not to any very great amount ; but little
of Northern produce ; and no East India worth speaking of.
Of Gold and Silver we note 373 parcels of Gold, and 22
parcels of Silva fforti Oporto j Spelter 9,779 plates. The
imports just now are various, but not of heavy aroottnts. The
retrospective export continues to be to a moderate eXtefif; atid
the deliveries continue good.
In our Mereantlle markets speculation is becoming inactive,
say more and more so. The transactlotts now are of a genuine
kind ; a good deal is done privately; and the Mite 61' trade,
for the most part, is very satisfactory ; prices firm and, as rite
as we have peoceeded, each fresh trial of their strength goes
to prove their stability.
COTTON. —ln the London market there is rather more busi-
nes:-; doing, and prices are firm. The accounts come better
from Liverpool this morning.
Isoroo.—The extent of business done in this commodity
has been ex,,ggerated. Still, there has been a brisk business
doing, and now there is a steady one. Spanish maintains its
late advance ; and East India secures ls. per lb. advance.
SVELTER.—This article commands more business, at 141.
par ton.
TALLOW-The market now borders on dulness—price 40s.
for P. Y. C., which is rather lower.

COCOA has become flat, and prices rather easier.
Ts..--There is much less excitement than there was in

this commodity, but advanced prices ere fully maintained ;
the deliveries are large. Congous and Twankays are most in
demand.

Sricts.—This market is now quiet, after its recent ckcitc-
ment. Pepper has 'uccome tranquil again—prices are, how-
ever, firm.

Aloussts.—The recent large arrivals have made this com-
modity more q'siet. Fine sells at 325. to 325. 6d.
SILK.—The deliveries are large, but in the market little is
doing. The stocks are light, and prices are looking up.
TonAcco.—There is a ♦ery extensive business doing in this
article, both for export and home demand, and prices are im-
proving.
HIDES AND Siumi.---This groat department of commerce
has participated iu the general improvement, *high we have
instanced from day to day. The stocks are light, and the
supply is short. Prices are improving.
Hors.—There is more doing in the market at steady prices.
In consequence of the weather becoming finer the duty has
rizen to 193,0001.

The sales to-day in the Colonial Markets were :
BRITISH PLANTATION COFFEE.-50 casks of ordinary and
good ordinary Jamaica were put up. The sale was heavy--
part only found purchasers at 655. 6d. to 735., and fine ordi-
nary at S4s ; good middling 1033. to 1045., which are pre-
vious quotations ; 145 bags of Ceylon advertised, were with-
drawn ; 63 bags of St. Domingo sold briskly at 40s. 6d. for
good ordinary, which is rather dearer.
SUGAR.—The British Plantation market was increasingly
quiet to-day. The sales were not above 500 hhds., which
sold at firm prices; low brown 525. 6d., good middling 585.,
and fine 655. to 665. The stock is nearly 11,000 bags less
than it was at this time last year.
REFINED SUGAR.—But little was done in this market this
afternoon, and prices are without variation.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.-2,000 bags put up; all sold, but went
somewhat heavily, at rather lower prices, say 6d. per cwt,
good and fine brown 645. 6d. to 655., low to fine yellows bls.
to 60s. 6cl.

Coco&.—Grenada, to the extent of 120 bags, was all
bought in at something considerable above its value. The
buying in price was 50s. for good red.
Tae.—The public sale is fast finishing at this moment (two
o'clock). There is riot so much spirit as there was, but prices
are fully maintained.

The 'Gold imported from Oporto, and noticed above in our
remarks on imports, is in packages, the average weight of
which is from 41b. to 71b. each.

FOREIGN COMMERCIAL.

Our foreign arrivals this morning consist of only one
French Mail, and our foreign intelligence is consequently
very scanty, and ccnfined to news from France, and accounts
brought over Marseilles from Alexandria and Leghorn.
The Market for Cotton in Havre is not so firm as it has
been, and some small sales of New Orleans had taken place
at a decline in the last rates. The accounts state holders were
more willing to part with the ordinary descriptions of American
(United States) cotton ; the prices for middling and fine, how-
ever, are better sustained, and no decline is acknowledged ; the
same is said of Brazil and Cumana. Coffee is still in good
request, and the quotations firm, looking upwards. At Paris
the market for this commodity had improved, and a shade bet-
ter prices were paid on the 18th ; 542 bags Padang were taken
by a speculator at 2fr. 7f cents. per kilograme, duty paid,
being equal to 41s. per cwt. in bond ; by dealers 150 bags of
Porto Rico were taken at 2f. 70c., or 675. 9d. ; 146 bags Do-
mingo at 2f. 25c. to 2f. 324 c. or 48s. 9d. to 475. 3d. ; 20 bales
Mocha at 2f. 673 c., or 675. 6d. ; 24 casks Cuba at 2f. 67ic.
to 2f. 92ic., or 655. 3d. to 755. 2d. ; all the French quota.
tions duty paid, and the English in bond in Paris. Its sale of
150 bags Maranham Cocoa was concluded at lf. 70c. per kil-
lograme, duty paid, or 445. 3d. per cwt. in bond.
At Havre some import sales of hides took place some days ago
at prices that appear to be-viz., 8,000 hides dry Buenos Ayres
varying from 86f to 90 cents per f kil., duty paid, being equal
in bond to lid. to 7jd. per lb., and 11,000 East India low at
521 cents per kil., duty paid, or in bond 4id. per lb.
Accounts brought over Leghorn from the south of. Italy,
state trade to be very dull, and scarcely anything doing either
for export or consumption, as the communications between the
different places are, through the sanitary system of the
Neapolitan Government, almost totally broken off; there:was,
however, in Leghorn a report, that the Government was about
to relax its strict system, and it was confidentially stated that
a free pratique was through a recent order allowed between all
ports on the west coast and the whole of Sicily ; should this
prove true a great increase in business and better prices were
steadfastly looked for.
The accounts from Alexandria to the 24th of August an-
nounce the Pasha's auctions of Cotton to have gone off on
the 18th there ; nothing was however sold, but by private
contract 7,095 bales have since been sold. Mako were at an
average price of ten talari two cents. per quintal ; three
thousand six hundred bales were taken for Marseilles,
2,910 for Trieste, 470 for England, and 55 unknown. The
prices are about 20 cents lower than those paid at the last sale
of the 9th. The total amount of Cotton in the magazines of
the Pacha, or Vice-King, was estimated at 120,000 cantari.
The exchange on London was for three months 4 doll. 90c.
to '4 doll. 93c. per ;£ ; on Marseilles ,sf. 15c. to sf. 20c.
In import articles very little was doing, with the exception of
some plain cotton stuffs, which were in good demand for Cairo
and the interior markets.
