nation in their adjustment. Some of our most suc-
cessful diplomatists stand n •
as the act of Lord PONSONBY'S removal would be
in some sort an act of courtesy towards France, we
are of opinion that the Noble Foreign Secretary
ought to lose no time in adopting this measure. It
might savour of dictation to name individuals whose
past diplomatic services are guarantees for their
ability to cope even with the agents of Russia at
the Porte; nor does Lord PALMERSTON stand in
much need of such prompting, as no man is better
conversant than himself with the merits of the di-
plomatic corps. We should not have touched sipon
this point, had we not heard the Earl of DURHAM
named, as one likely to succeed Lord PONSONBY
in the event of his removal from the Porte. Now,
with every respect for the Noble Earl, we should
be very sorry to see him appointed to an Embassy
so entirely unsuited to his peculiar talents. L
truth we have had too much of Lord I) mu' AM'S
diplomacy already to wish to see him again so soon
in the character of an Ambassador. We have not
forgotten the affair of the Vixen, nor his gratuitous
intimation to our Government that Russia had
always a garrison at Soudjouk Kale, which gave her
a right of course to declare blockades and make
prizes of our merchant vessels in the Black Sea.
Lord CLARENDON, on the contrary, seems to us to
have recently displayed abilities which would make
his appointment as Ambassador to the Porte a sub-
ject of congratulation to the Cabinet. His Lord-
ship's distinguished success, and unequalled popu-
larity in Spain, and the kindly feelings which he
cultivated with the French residents, are guarantees
that in Constantinople M. PONTOIS would not be
found pulling in one direction and his Lordship in
another.

The LORD MAYOR begins to find that it is no
easy task to enforce an absurd law. We asserted
but two days ago that all the City Police,, with his
Lordship at their head, could not carry into effect
the misinterpreted 42d clause of the Police Act ;
and the evidence of Mr. BECK, of the Dr. John-
son Tavern, and of the policeman, and the decision
of the LORD MAYOR in the caes which Mr.
BECK brought under his notice, fully warrant the
assertion. While Mr. BECK turned out his cus-
tomers at twelve, in the vain hope that the
LORD MAYOR would compel others to do the
same, he finds several houses in his neigh-
bourhood open after that hour, proves that he
saw people coming out and the lights burning,
and that no notice of these circumstances was taken
by the police. All that the LORD MAYOR could
say was—" I shall be inexorable in every case that
is proved before me." Why what case could be
better proved than this ? A witness saw the door
opened contrary to the law, and his evidence is con-
firmed by the police constable who saw lights
burning and waiters in the room. He saw no cus-
tomers of course, but of what use are waiters and
lights without customers ? Is his Lordship simple
enough to believe that these half-dozen waiters.
were up for their own amusement, or to furnish
refreshment to a straggling traveller ? But his
Lordship ought not to interpret the law strictly in
one case, and laxly in another. The publican,
according to the letter of the law, can open his
house " only for refreshment to travellers." He
has no right to open it to lodgers or customers of
any sort. The exception was made not for them,
but for that numerous class who travel through
London at night. The Act applies only to the
metropolis; and could there be a clearer proof than
this very exception, that the Legislature intended
it should apply only during the hours when
people commonly travel ? Could Mr. HAwEs,
or any other rational Member, suppose it
was necessary to make a special proviso
in favour of persons travelling through London be-
tween 12 and 2 or 3on Sunday morning? It
would really be absurd to reason on the subject,
were it not for the annoyance and penalties inflicted
on respectable people, in the vain attempt to en-
force a law, not made by the Legislature, but by a
portion of the Metropolitan Magistrates. Mr.
BECK, not without reason, " condemned a mode of
legislation which did not seem capable of being
equitably administered."

We continue to receive the most satisfactory
ews from the Spanish frontier. Estella, the ett'-
pital of Navarre, and, the strongest hold of Car-
ham on the Pyrenean side of the Ebro, is now in
the possession of the QUEEN'S troops. This im
portant intelligence is thus announced in the Mont'.
teur of Tuesday
THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DM
SION TO TIM PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL
" BAYONNE, SEPT. 23.
" Estella has submitted. A Navarrese squadron has
.aken refuge on our territory, near St. Jean Pied de
Port ; three battalions are in the forest of Irati."
The Courier de Bourdeaux states, on the
authority of a correspondent, that on the 16th the
Carlist chiefs ZARIATECIUY and RIPOLDA, en-
tered the French territory with 1,800 Navarese in-
fantry, and 200 horse, commanded by MA-
NOLIN. They laid down their arms, which
the authorities at once sent to the agents
of the Spanish Government. The Carlists
in Estella and its environs addressed a letter to
ESPARTERO, offering to' capitulate to him, on
certain conditions ; but they were answered that no
conditions, save those of the treaty of Bergara,
would he conceded ; and that although the time al-
lowed them to surrender by that treaty had expired,
yet that they had nothing to fear on that account,
as he pledged himself to treat them with generosity.
Upon receiving this assurance, the cavalry set out
for Pampeluna, to surrender their arms to the Ge-
neral-in-Chief.
The old road of Guipuscoa, a link in the chain
connecting Paris with Madrid, is now open for the
first time during five years. The Phare de Bay-
onne gives the following account of the
;journey by
it, of the Marquis DE RUMIGNY, the French Am-
bassador at the Court of Spain, which strikingly
exhibits the longing of the peasantry for peace:—
" On the 18th instant, the Ambassador crossed the
frontier, accompanied by the Marchioness, his three
daughters, his attaches, and suite, in carriages which for
five years have not been seen to pass the Bidassoa. The
people met him in crowds at the bridge of Behobie ; the
French authorities presented their congratulations, and at
the centre he was received by the Baron de Vigeau,
French Consul at Santander, and M. Lesama, Governor
of Irun, who complimented him in the name of the Spanish
Government. The carriages then proceeded under salvos
of artillery. They arrived at Irun at six o'clock, and
found a mansion prepared for their reception. They
were immediately visited by the commandant and colonels
of the garrison, the alcade, and the municipality. At
dinner the Marquis proposed a toast to the health of Es-
parto, and M. de Lesama to the union and prosperity of
France and Spain. Next morning the Ambassador conti-
nued his journey, arriving at Tolosa in the evening, acid
having everywhere on the road been greeted by the autho-
rities and the population. The cry of the peasants was
' Feliz viage !" Buenos Franceses 1" Buenoc P Gene-
ral Iturbe, the Governor, and the other authorities, mot
the cortege at the entrance of the town, and escorted it
through the streets, which were thronged with the inha-
bitants. At Hernani the Marquis found all the troops
under arms to do him honour, awl was greeted by the
military and civil authorities, who had prepared an elegant
dejeuner for the travellers. At Tolosa the Ambassador
had for his guests at dinner General Iturbe, lately Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Guipuscoans, but now in the ser-
vice of the Queen, and several toasts, ' to the Queen,'
to the King of the French,' to the union of Spaniards,'
tic., were drunk."
On Monday the pacification was celebrated at the
Spanish Embassy, in Paris, by a sumptuous ban-
quet, at which all the Spaniards of distinc-
tion in the French capital were present. The
Chair was taken by the Marquis of MI-
RAFLORES. The greatest cordiality prevailed
during the evening. Among the toasts drank
were—" The Queen of Spain and the Queen
Regent," " The King of the French and the
Queen of England, whose united good offices have
powerfully contributed to the salvation of Spain,
and to place her in her present situation."
ZEA BERNIUDEZ—" To the peace of our dear
country, and a sincere reconciliation between all
Spaniards." M. ECETA—" To the English na-
tion, who have taken so much interest in- our cause,
and shown so much constancy and loyalty through-
out the struggle just terminated." M. MeatEL—
" To France and the present Ministry, who have
so nobly and generously supported the cause of the
Queen of Spain."

A French Journal states that the King of the
FRENCH has deputed the Duke de CAZES to
negociate I,vt,h Don CARLOS the formal renuncia-
tion of his claim to the Spanish throne, and that
when this business is settled, the Duke is charged
to propose to the Spanish Government a matrimo-
nial alliance between the young Queen ISABELLA
and one of the French Princes. The latter part of
this statement seems very improbable.

A telegraphic despatch makes known to the
merchants of Lyons, Bordeaux, and Marseilles,
that the Messrs. ROTHSCIIILD will accept the
bills for ten millions of francs drawn by the United

States Bank tipon the Messrs. HOTTINGITER. !Ind

The following extracts from the French Journals
of Tuesday contain ail the news they bring of any
political interest :
The Constitutronnel publishes a letter, dated Vienna,
16th inst., announcing that the European Congress would
meet for the first time in that capital, on the 15th of Oc-
tober. The Eastern affairs, the recognition of Queen
Isabella 11. by the Northern Courts, the situation of the
Republic of Cracow, and perhaps also the reconstruction
of Poland on the basis fixed by the treaties of ISIS, would,
aereeliing to that journal, be the principal topics agitated
in that Congress. M. Metternich had charged M. ahoga,
a distinguished diplomatist, to prepare a memorial ern-
braeing all these questions.
he ilyram Gazette, which is under the censorship of
the Austrian Government, contains the following from
Jassy, in Moldavia :—" The Russian Consul has edvised
the B bards af Moldavia to send a memorial to the Em-
peror N:cholas representing to him the alarming situation
of tnu. Ottoman empire, and irnplorieg his immediate pro-
tection ; but Pr ;awe Stourdza declined the proposition, on
the er_und tat it would wound the pride of the Sultan,
who is 'he tributary Sovereign of the principality."
The Commerce publishes a letter from Moscow, of the
6th inst., which states that on the 4th three couriers ar-
rived at the cairp of Borodino from Odessa, Teflis, and
Theic despatches were said to be of great
importance, 0.1 the same day the General of Cavalry,
Baron de Redwer, commanding the third corps of the
Army of the South, and all the other officers of that army
and of the fleet of the Black Sea, received orders
to e
to return to their posts.
Two
tducts in
e. w
Generals, of the Emperor,
were
out in a few das as couriers,
s preparingAoid tet oaornsept days,
the one for Anapa, the other for Teflis. It was
reported that the former would be the bearer of orders to
General Rajewski, Commander-in-Chief of the Corps of
Reserve of the Army of the South, to march for Erzeroum
and charged with instructions re-
lative thato negotiations between Russia and Per-
sia alliance, offensive and defensive, the
forta the
ee
secret latter
treaty
of would
principal object of which would be to obtain the co-opera-
tion of the Shah, in the event of an invasion of the
Ottoman empire by Russia, " Colonel Count Adam de
Rajewski," says this letter, " who was sent to Constanti-
nople on a mission, is to be promoted to the rank of Major
General in reward for his services, which as every body
knows, consisted in embroiling the affairs of the East."
The National publishes a letter from Luxerriburg, in
which the writer denounces various arbitrary acts committed
by King William of Holland, on taking possession of the
Grand Duchy. Twelve notaries, who had declared against
the dismemberment of Belgium, had been suspended, and
denied the faculty of disposing of their offices. Several
physicians, and among others M. Binch, who had practised
in the country since 1915, had been ordered to renounce
their profession, under penalty of being transported to
Batavia.

The letters from Toulon, of the 19th September, speak
of the continued exertions making in that port, especially
to fit out the five ships of the line, the Souverain, Alger,
Marengo, Scipion, and Ville de Marseilles ; but these
ships are very far from being ready to put to sea.
A letters from Algiers, of the 14th, says:—" A vessel
is to be sent to-morrow to Oran, with Marshal Valee, who
is going to receive the the Duke of Orleans on his arrival
in that town. It is still thought that after stopping seven
or eight days at Algiers, to visit the camp, the Prince
will embark for Philiipeville, in order to proceed to Con-
stantine, from which place the first mililitary promenade
will take place—a pro.nenade which, according to circum-
stances, may be turned into an expedition.
" It is estimated that the division of Algiers has not at
this moment more than between 4,000 and 5,000 men fit
for service, on account of the great number of the sick and
convalescent. The division of Constantine is in this
respect in no better condition at the departure of the last
letters (of the 19th) from that town ; there were 700
sick there ; at the same time the camps were no better
off. At Djemilah, out of 240 men 150 were sick : a bat-
talion of the 23d had been reduced in three weeks to 40
men able to do duty. At Mahallah there were 90 sick
out of 190. At Bona the health of the troops is not more
sataietory. _ .

" It is generally thought the journey of the Prince will
be directed in such a manner as to preserve peace with
Abd-el.Kalcr, which at this moment at least is in all re.
spects conformable to the interest of the country.
The Prince of Wirtemberg, travelling under the title
of Count, bus arrived here to wait for the arrival of the
Prince Royal, who is his brother-in-law."—Le Commerce.

Madrid Papers of the 17z.11 instant have reached
us, but the news they contain is unimportant. The
Gazette publishes a despatch from ESPARTERU,
the substance of which appeared in the London
papers at least ten days ago. In the Senate the
subject of debate during the sittings of the.l6th
and 17th, was the address in answer to the speech
from the Throne, in the course of which, Senor
GONZALES attacked the Government for not hav-
ing an Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon,
instead of a simple Charge d'Affaires, and
Senor HERos denounced the appointment of M.
ZEA BERMUDEZ to negotiate with the Northern
Powers, he being known to have made an apology
to Don CA RLOS for declaring against him. The
President of the Council, and the Ministers of War
and the Interior, severally defended the conduct of
the Government ; but no conclusion was come to
when the mails left for Paris and London.
It was rumoured in Madrid that the Cortes
would offer no opposition to the concession of
the furros. Nevertheless the Ministry are said
to have resolved to dissolve the Chambers at the
earliest opportunity, for no other reason than
an apprehension of not being able to maintain their
places. CABRERA is reported to have divided his
division into three bands, one of which marched
upon Tarancon, the second fell back upon Cuenca,
and the third, making a dash on Nlinglanilla, near
Requena, made prisoners of the garrison, consisting
of a company of the QUEEN'S troops. The time
for successfully carrying on this system of warfare
is past, and unless CABRERA make his escape from
the Peninsula, he stands a fair chance of either
being shot in the field or dying the death of a fero-
cious traitor.

, The Funds continued to improve. The Five per Cents,
were dune en the 17th at 32i for cash.

Letters from Constantinople of the 4th inst.
state that on the 31st ult., Admiral STOPFORD
proceeded to join the fleet at the mouth of the Dar-
dandles, after obtaining a formal interview with
the SULTAN. No person appeared to know what
steps were to be taken by the Great Powers to
settle the Oriental Question. The British fleet
was to be augmented by three sail of the line—
melting thirteen sail of the line off Tenedos. The
European instructors of the Turkish army
have all been discharged ; their period of
service' *having expired, and the Prussian of-
ficers were preparing to return home. Some
changes have also taken place in the offices of
State. HIFFSEY PACHA has succeeded SAIL
PACHA as President of the Quarantine ; NAFUZ
PACHA has been removed from the Farmer-Gene-
ralship of the Revenues, to make room for MOUS-
SABEG PACHA, late Superintendent of the
Arsenal, who is replaced in his turn by MASS-
LOUM BEY. ALI BEY has been promoted to the
direction of the Mint.
From these letters it appears that MEHEMET

pularitypacials andat B

so much, that
Five Powers, he would not have the slightest diffi-
culty in making himself sole master of the Ottoman
Empire.

The following extract from a letter from Con-
stantinople of the 4th inst., gives a correct account
ofthe rapid decline of Russian inguence in Persia :
Letters hate been received here this week from Persia,
bearing dates of 25th July from Tabreez, and the 20:h
ult. from Erzeroum. From the accounts they contain,
the country throughout appears to be in a mast disturbed
state, owing, it seems, to the violent opposition which the
people are everywhere making to the influenoe of the
agents of Russia. In the provinces of Ispahan anti Shiraz
the Governors known to be in the pay of the Emperor
have been expelled from their
posts, and obliged to seek
their safety by flight; and in Cosban, Nohawem!,. and
'rabreez, disturbances of a nature equally tending to the
subversion of Russian power were daily manifesting th ern-
selves.

" England is the most pauperised count,7 in Europe ;
and that one in which the Government has effected
little or nothing for the education of the poo'r'er classes."
So says Dr. Kay in his very last report on the training
of pauper children, dated Norwich, 1839. He says
this after Corn-laws have been in existence l'or t wenty-
four years ; the pretext for passing and rnaint wrung
them being, that they give good wages and plenty of
food to the labourers, and keep them indeper.dent. He
says this, too, after the Clergy have boasted at 'heir
public meetings that they educate more than a million
of children.

Extract from the Provincial Agent's letter to the
Committee of Correspondence, dated London, July 4 :
" Lord Palmerston has determined to send out two
officers to make a preliminary exploration on our part,
as so much has been sacrificed through pure ignorance
of the country by those who have gone before us. I
think it quite proper to take care that those who come
after shall not have the same complaint to repeat.
" I can perceive no symptoms of weakness or irresolu-
tion on the part of her Majesty's Government with re-
ference to this question, and I think we may rest as-
sured that its real nature and importance is perfectly
understood, and is in no danger of being betrayed."

In both the British and Foreign Markets little
business has been doing in the course of the morning,

prevailing great scarcity of money in the House, for

splendid theatre is crowded nightly, notwithstanding the
h gli prices of admission, which vary from two to ten pias-
ters (from eight to forty shillings ); and the Turks, not-
withstanding their usual hanit of going to bed with the
fowls, sit motionless till the end of the entertainment,
which is often past midnight. The late Sultan Nlalimond
sometimes honoured this theatre with his presence, and had
Italian operas performed within the seraglio, before the
ladies of his Court. The vocal company is described as
good, and occasionally containing distinguished perfor-
mers. —Musical World.

INTERESTING TO BEE KEEPERS.--A corre-
spondent at Redruth writes to us as follows :—.I beg to
inform you that I have this week visited Mr. Hocking, of
Gsvinear church town, and have seen in hisgarden eighteen
stocks of bees, the produce of four • that is to say fourteen
swarms from four old stocks. This remarkable increase
he attributes to his having placed in the same garden with
the bees a large quantity of the rurabago turnip plants,
which having produced a great quantity of blossom, are
supposed to have contributed very materially to their means
of support. West Briton.
HOW TO DRY A CANDLE.--.A lady entered
her kitchen and found the oven swimming with grease.
On asking the servant, a Welsh girl, the cause, the Cam-

you, mistress, the candle was fell in the water, and I put
hur into the oven to dry."
CHURCH IN GREECE—ATHENS, AUG. 15.--
The President of the Assembly which governs the Church
of the kingdom of Greece, and who has been re-appointed
by King Otho in direct opposition to the advice of his Mi-
nisters, is a man who, in 1821, when Germanos, at the
head of the clergy of Greece, took up arms to avenge the
murder of the Patriarch, opposed the glorious proclama-
tion that gave liberty to the Greeks. This pet President
of King Otho's Synod is the man who opposed the Bava-
rian Regency when it decided on rendering the church of
the kingdom independent of the Patriarch of Constanti-
nople, or, in other words, independent of Russia. Thus,
whilst the Greeks hear that their brethren at Broussa, and
in other parts of Asia Minor, are treated in the most cruel
and treacherous manner by the Patriarch, who is Count
Nesselrode's nominee at Constantinople, they see
their
Bavarian King conducting them to the same fate through
the agency of the Presidency of the Synod, who is Count
Nesselrode's nominee here.

Mr. BULLOCK and Sir WALTER BUCHANAN RID-
I DELL, the Barristers appointed to revise the List of
Voters for the County of East Surrey, held their first
! Court at the Sessions !louse, NeWington, for the pur-
pose of revising the List of Voters in Si. Gdes's C.,0,-

-1.1 objections to voters in St. Giles's Cambi,rweli, 1.3
in SI,. Mary, Newington, 82 in Clapham, 89 iu
Mary Lambeth, 31 ill Streatham, and none iu
Hatcham.
Mr. EDWARD MEYMoTT appeared as agent on be-
half of the Conservatives, and Mr. MILLER for toe
Liberals.

(Before Mr. Bottom)
ST. GILES'S, CAMBERWELL.
The vote of the Reverend Robert Burton, the In,
cumbent of Christ enure'', Catriberweil, was objected
to by Mr. Miller, on behalf of the Liberals, on the
ground that his office did not constitute such a freehold
as would entitle him to vote.

Mr. E. MEYMOTT defended the vote of Mr. Burton.
He was a clergy-111.in licensed by the Bishop of Win-
chester, agreeably to the provisions of the Ist and 2d
Wm. 4th ; under the provisions of which, Christ Church,
Camberwell, was built. He had been a sufficient
length of time in the possession of that living, which
the 10th section of the Act declared to be a perpetual
incumbency, and to have perpetual succession ; and he
had received the pew rent, which amounted to up-
wards of 10/. a year. A regular district had been
appointed to Mr. Burton, and all the forms required by
the Act had been complied with ; he submitted, then -
fore, that a sufficient freehold had been made out to
entitle Mr. Burton to a vote.
Mr. MILLER submitted that the freehold in the land
being vested by the Act in the Commissioners, and
not in Mr. Burton, his vote was bad. He admitted
that Mr. Burton had a freehold in the Incumbency, but
that was not sufficient to satisfy the provisions of the
Act. It had been decided that a freehold in an office
did not give a vote.

Mr. MEYstorT submitted that the Act declaring the
Incumbency to be perpetual, and Mr. Burton being in
possession of it, was sufficient.
Mr. BULLocli said he would take time to consider
the case before he gave judgment. He thought that
the principal questions to be considered were—first,
whether the license of the Bishop gave Mr. Burton a
freehold in the office ; and, secondly, whether he had
an interest in the land.
The vote of Mr. Ewbank, in respect of certain pre-
mises at Peckham, was objected to by Mr. Miller, on
the ground of his having removed from them, and gone
to reside at Denmark-hill.
Mr. MEYMOTT submitted that the objection was not
valid, inasmuch as Mr. Ewbank, although he had gone
to reside at Denmark-hill, still continued a servant at
his premises at Peckham, and paid all the rates for it.
Mr. MILLER contended that even if that was the case
the description was not sufficient.
Mr. MEYMOTT submitted that it was. Mr. Knox had
held, in the cae of Lord W. Russell, who was de-
scribed as of the Castle Hotel, Richmond, that that
description was sufficient to satisfy the Act, although
it was well known that his Lordship was much more at
Mivart's Hotel, or abroad, than he was at that Awe.
The case of Mr. Ewbank was a ranch stronger case,
because he retained a servant on the premises, and paid
all the rates.

Mr. BULLOCK considered that Mr. Ewban I,: was
bound to come forward and prove his qualification, and
the further consideration of his vote was postponed to
Saturday for that purpose.
(Before Sir WALTER BUCHANAN RIDDELL.)
ST. MARY'S NLWINGTON.
The vote of Mr. James Bland, who claimed in right
of certain property in the parish, was objected to on
behalf of the Conservatives, on the ground that he was
only trustee on behalf of his mother, of the property in
respect of which he claimed the right of voting.
The object,on was allowed.
