could safely allow him entire liberty. If the INTi-
iliSIE•y Were how to deliver to bon CARLOs the
passports which the Court claim for him, it wotild,
by that very aet, pronounce its Own condemnation
as td the edurse Which it has adopted in sendingliifti
Id oiirges-. To grant what ig
would be to make a mockery of Spain, quarrel with
England, and give the lie to the policy of the
French Cabinet ; and, for all this, `that Is tittered
In exchange ? The praises of the Debats." The
Temps is still more severe upon the Cabinet, and
not without reason—if, as it asserts, the liberation
of Don CARLOS is already resolved upon. " The
fact is," asserts the Temps, " that the Court has
come to a decision on this subject. Although
CA Rims should call again upon Providence and
CASRERA, and renew a war without glory or
success, and which could only produce in its
failure new exterminations, he is not to be
kept as a hostage, and compelled to remain in the
asylum where he has taken refuge. He is to be
snatched from the law of nations, as the Duchesse
DE BERRI and Louis BONAPAItTE were snatched
from the laws of the country. It is always dan-
gerous,' they say at the Chateau, to set the
example of keeping Kings prisoners.' They reject
political considerations for sentiment ; they yield
doubtlessly to motives of high propriety—to feel-
ings of relationship, and to sympathy for misfor-
tune-4o pity and generosity. Female sensibility,
too, plays a great part in this question. These
exiles, sadly seated in the Hotel Panette, and no
longer able gaily to assist at the carnage, burnings,
and murders, which they have authorised, provoked,
and commanded, are pitied even to tears." How
very differently must the French Court regard royal
and plebeian ruffianism ? Were a French Republi-
can of the popular stamp to commit one twentieth
part of the atrocities of the detestable monster
CARLOS, his head would not be suffered to remain
for twenty-four hours on his shoulders. The villain
would have Kings and Queens gloating over
descriptions of his execution. Let one of the people
scratch but the panels of a Royal coach, and only
the plea of insanity can serve to keep the guillotine
out of requisition ; but let a Prince—a tyrant by
prescription—steep himself to the lips in the blood
of the people, and the rabble that subsist by the
breath of Kings, will fall down and worship him,
and if unsuccessful bathe the monster's feet in tears.
A day is fast approaching when Courts must either
cease to exist, or exhibit in their acts a very diffe-
rent scale of morality.

The Earl and Countess of GRANVILLE arrived
in Paris on Sunday afternoon. The Marquis of
LANSDOWNE is at present at Frankfort.
The two sons of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA,
the Dukes of CADIZ and SEVILLE, are preparing
to travel in the Americas. It is supposed that their
Royal Highnesses are going with a view to ascer-
tain the chances of founding a new Spanish Mo-
narchy in one or other of the southern States, after
the manner of Brazil. They expect to find able
adherents among the clergy and the remains of the
Spanish race.

TURIN, OCT. 14.—The King and his son, the Duke
of Savoy, arrived here on the 9th, on their return from
Chamberi. The Infant Don Sebastian, on his way from
France to Naples, has likewise arrived in this capital.
The accounts from Spain have greatly depressed
the spirit of the Absolutist party. One of the first
effects of the triumph of the Queen's army has been the
order given by our Government again to admit Spanish
ships into the Sardinian ports.

The English Government is negotiating a treaty of
commerce with Sardinia, and it is said that this treaty
will be shortly concluded.

The Piedtnontese General, Giflanga, who was a Ge-
neral in the service of the Emperor, and who has lived
ever since 1821 in a kind of banishment, at his country
seat, has just been recalled to active service.
It is r,ported that the Marquis de Brignolle, now
Sardinian Ambassador in France, will succeed the
Count de la Margucrita as Minister for Foreign. A.ffaws

This morning the arrival of Maroto at Paris is an-
nounced.

A letter from Toulon of the 17th, says, " The Cer-
oere steam-boat has brought to-day the following news
from Algeria :
" After having visited the several points which we
iccupy in the Province of Algiers, where he caused
lands to be assigned to some colonists, whose applications
had been unsuccessful, the Duke of Orleans set out on
the Gth for Stora, where he arrived on the 7th, at
Philippeville. His Royal Highness was received with
salutes of artillery, and after being waited upon by the
officers of the garrison, reviewed the troops. He was
to set out for Constantine,—Le Conslitutionnel.

THE NEW JUDGE.—A Correspondent, who
writes from Lincoln's-inn, states that Mr. Serjeant
lalfourd is to be the successor of the late Mr.
Justice Vaughan, in the Court of Common Pleas,
and that the state of the registration renders the
return of a Liberal Member for Reading secure.
The appointment, we believe, will give general
satisfaction.

At a Lecture (the third of a course) on Astronomy,
to the members, &c„ of the Mutual Instruction
Society, in the Chapel of the Domestic Mission
Society, Cripplegate, on Monday, the comparative
sizes of the planets were illustrated in a plan per-
fectly novel. A large globe, six feet in diameter,
and illuminated within, represented the Sun, while
smaller balls, representing the Earth, Saturn, &c..
were suspended on fine wires the entire width of the
room. Thus was the entire planetary system' exhi-
bited, so as to give a very correct idea cf their bulk,
though not of their distances. And this is so far
gratifying, as it is one among the many efforts now
inaking to instruct the working classes_
Mr. Warren's large picture of " Joseph and his
Brethren," much talked of when it was exhibited
two seasons ago, was disposed of on Tuesday by
allotment, and was gained by Mr. G. Godwin.
The picture is noticeable as exhibiting the effect of
polychromatic architecture on a large scale, a mode
of decoration employed, as we know, both by the
Egyptians and the Greeks.

ESCAPE OF NELSON FROM EARLY AND IN-
GLORIOUS DEATH.-" Capt. Nelson, during this march,
being one day excessively fatigued, ordered his hammock,
on one of their halts, to be slung under some trees.
During his sleep, that extraordinary animal called the
monitory lizard, from its faculty of warning persons of
the approach of any venomous animal, passed across his
face ; which being observed by some of the attendant
Indians, they shouted and woke him. He immediately
started ti ,)
N an,. throwing off the quilt, found one of the
most venomous of the innumerable serpents in that
country curled up at his feet. From this providential
escape, the Indians who attended, entertained an idea
that Nelson was a superior being, under an especial pro-
tection ; and this idea, which his wonderful abilities and
unwearied exertions tended to confirm, was of essential
service in gaining their confidence and prolonging their
co-operation. On another occasion, during this arduous
service, Captain Nelson and some of his men narrowly
escaped being poisoned. They had inadvertently en-
deavoured to quench their excessive thirst by drinking at
a spring into which some branches of the manchineel ap-
ple had been thrown—a subtle poison that is used by the
Indians for their arrows. Nelson suffered severely from
its effects ; and it was the opinion of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Clarence, from whom this anecdote was re-
ceived, that the delicate health of his friend thus expe-
rienced a severe and lasting injury."—Fisher's Illus-
trated Life of Nelson.

On Saturday, the 12th inst., Lord Milton's
son and heir was christened in the chapel in Wentworth
House, in the presence of the family and a number of
visitors, by Lord Fitzwilliam's chaplain, the Rev. J. S.
Upton.—Slieffield Independent.
SOUND ADVICE TO THE CHARTISTS.—In
an anti-Corn-law lecture recently delivered at Dumfries,
James Ayton, Esq., advocate, thus counselled the Char-
tists in reference to their opposition to the Corn-law
agitation, and their dependence on that notorious charla-
tan, Fesrgus O'Connor, whose hollowness and false-
hood on the Corn-law question we have repeatedly ex-
posed. " Some of you will be ready to exclaim," said
Mr. Ayton, "' What ! join the middle classes—aban-
don our glorious position—give up our agitation for
the Charter, for the sake of carrying the abolition of
the Corn-laws ? Never!' Gentlemen, don't mistake
me. lam not the man to recommend you to abandon
your principles. On the contrary, I say, stand by
them,—never cease from agitation till you hive ac-
quired your full rights. All I say is, do not injure
your own cause by acting foolishly. Do not oppose what
is good for you, simply because it is also desired by
the middle classes. Do not give them a legitimate ex-
cuse for refusing to join you, by proving yourselves to
be impracticable and absurd. But the late Convention
toad you not to agitate for the abolition of the Corn-
laws, because that, forsooth, would distract your atten-
tion from the main question. No, gentlemen, that was
a mere pretence. The Convention was ruled by
O'Connor, wbo, when Member for the county of Cork,
spoke and voted with his brother landlords and with the
Tory and Whig aristocracy against the abolition of this
tax. I therefore once more repeat that, in order to se-
cure their rights, the non-electors ought to keep on
good terms with the electoral body."—Scotch paper.
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.—An editor of a
newspaper in a rural district of some importance, ven-
tured to write an article on the Corn-laws, and to
suggest the propriety of making some alteration in
them, inasmuch as the present laws had been tried and
found wanting. He had also the temerity to say, that
he thought a small fixed duty would have the proba-
ble advantage of preventing the great fluctuations in the
prices, so ruinous to the farming tenantry, &c. This
heretical article produced a most extraordinary sensa-
tion, The landed proprietors met in consultation, and
determined on summary punishment ; and after many
abortive arguments it was at length decided that
the editor should be informed, that unless he wrote an
article praising the present Corn-laws and deprecating
the doctrines advocated in his " alarming and wicked
article" of the past week, they would not only cease to
take his paper, but use their interest to deter their
neighbours, and induce them to follow their advice and
example. This was conclusive ; the poor scribe wrote
another article, praising the starvation laws as the most
profound monuments of human legislation, and thus he
satisfied his many masters, who declared that if he had
not given an antidote to neutralize the poison he had so
injudiciously spurted out, that he would have lost five
hundred subscribers. Such is the conduct of the
Corn-law monopolists.—Manchester Times.
A SAPIENT JURY. In a case in the Crown
Court, on Thursday, at the present quarter sessions for
the county of Gloucester, the jury found two prisoners
" guilty of stealing without a felonious intention." The
jury
corrected excited in court was excessive, and the
corrected the verdict by returning a general verdict of
guilty.—Gloucester Paper.
