THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1836.

Fscablishitioift in Ireland. Consequently, the Irish
Tithe Bill, is—where ? Why, on the orders of- the
day for a second reading on some day in June !—the
Parliament having met in February ,A,
to !twit.: r6iVrt fif to
sep'ol6 (tit j"..:l2'ai from the political function •
'," of thc
Lora Chancellor. Great were the panegyrics pro-
nounced on those measures before they appeared, and
what is said of them now ? Why, they are universally
scouted by all parties, except the parents of them.
Those bills will never pass into laws. The English
Tithe Bill is acknowledged on all hands to be the most
laughable mess that ignorance and presumption ever
before heaped together in so small a space. Neither
Churchmen nor Dissenters are satisfied with the Mar-
riage Bill. The promised abolition of Chuch rates is
still only promised ; and neither the Radicals nor the
Conservatives approve of Mr. Rice's superficial scheme
For limiting the tax on knowledge to a pennyi: and the
diffusion of knowledge to doses of so many inches. Then,
for the crowning measure of the Cabinet and of the ses-
sion, which was to be a Bill for the abolition of impri-
sonment for debt. Where is it ? Echo answers
" where 9" which is about as satisfactory as any of the
twenty replies which Sir John Campbell has given during
the course of the session to the same question, twenty
times repeated. We direct the attention of our readers
to these, because they are the most prominent points
. of the position in which the Ministers find themselves
at this moment—that is to say; within six weeks of the
'period at which the session ought to close. The mea-
sures we have mentioned, too, and the stages at which
they have arrived, are admirably illustrative of the good
faith and the capability of the Government. Shall we
proceed to notice others, or have we, for the present,
said enough to let the public into at least this one se-
cret of the Ministerial manceuvres—namely, that they
will be delighted to create a disturbance, at whatever
cost or risk to the country, in order that, under cover
of the riot they have themselves raised, they may sneak
off and avoid the fulfilment of their pledges for another
yearby means of disputes with the. Loridi-ahout mat-
ters of no importance—or by a sudden prbrogation—
or, if hard pressed, by a dissolution Times.

Much grave and ingenious speculation is indulged
in by both French and English journals a to the
causes of the Ministerial revolution in Spain. There
is nothing mysterious or difficult of explanation in the
matter. The fall of the Spanish Ministry is the na-
tural consequence of the very arts by which it rose to
power. The politician who plays the juggler before a
nation is sure to astonish the spectators for a time,
but the admiration turns to.contempt when his tricks
grow stale upon the crowd. In his public character
alone do we speak of M. Mendizabal, the creator and
chief of the late Ministry ; and, in his public cha-
racter, we know of no man in modern times who
.practiced more trickery to less purpose than this
Minister. Large and liberal were the demands which
he made upon the credulity and patience of the Spanish
people, by promising mountains, and producing mice.
With him Government was an occult science, having
its cabalistic secrets of potent energy, which he,
the conjuror of the scene, was to apply to public af-
fairs with the wonder-working genius of a Katerfelto.
He asked only for six months to perform the
racles of giving Spain infernal peace, political union,
and financial prosperity. The people gave him nine
months ; and bad as the condition cif Spain was when
he assumed the reins of Government, it is now much
worse. The thing to wonder at, then, is not that his
Administration has. fallen, but that it stood so long.
Let the public only recollect with what a flourish of
trumpets from Spanish, French, and English journalists,
M. Mendizabal was ushered upon the stage as Chief
Minister of Spain I A deafening clamour, a most ob-
streporous din of adulation announced his advent' as
the regenerator of the Spanish monarchy. For ven-
turing to doubt that the magnificent promises then
made could be easily realised—for advising the public
to suspend their judgment until they had better proof
than the voice of flattery to attest the merits of so great
a genius—we were treated as worse than heretics, or
" unbelieving Jews ;" and if certain jobbers who most
patriotically speculate upon the public credulity in
some liberal journals had their own way, they would
certainly have commended the Morning Herald to the
purgatorial process of a Spanish Inquisition. When
the yet unpePformed exploits of M. Mendizabal
were the theme of such extravagant praise, we did not
forget that his predecessors in office had in turn ex-
cited great expectationS, all of which had been mi-
serably falsified ; and though we were resolved to give
M. Mendizabal " a fair trial," we were equally re-
solved.not to praise his exploits and extol his merits
by anticipation. When, however, he solemnly under-
took'and promised in the face of Europe that lie would
put an end to the Carlist war in six months, and that
he would look neither for foreign loan nor foreign in-
tervention—when he declared that he had some grand
secret which was only to be exhibited to produce mira-
culous effects in restoring to health and vigour the
body politic of Spain, labouring under a complication
of distempers, we did not hesitate to denounce all this
as arrant quackery—such as no real Statesman would
practise, and which, by exciting unreasonable expec-
tations for a 'time would give a keener sting to dis-
appointment. The Carlist war was to have been ex-
tinguished in six months. At the end of nine months
the Carlists are stronger, more daring, and more active
than ever. How has the promise been kept as to fo-
reign intervention ? By repeated applications to the
French Government to send an army to put down the
unassisted Biscayans and Navarrese, mho set the Go-
vernment of Madrid at defiance, supported as that
Government is by about 20,000 foreigners, enrolled
in British, French, and Portuguese legions. But the
assistance of these 20,000 bayonets, is not " inter-
vention ;" it is only " co-operation." In the same
light we must look upon the expedition of 700 marines,
with their officers, whom Lord Palmerston has sent
out to Bilboa, and the cannonade of the Carlist en-
trenchments by a 'British vessel of war, under Lord
John Hay4lie " terrible effect" of whose shot and
shells saved the British Legion from the utter destruc-
tion which was prepared for them by the military in-
capacity of their Chief, who ordered men to charge
with the bayonet, strong and unbreached fortifications,
and to run their heads, as if they were battering rams,
against " walls of tire,"- After this it may be well
said of General Evans, as was said or sung of another
extraordinary hero, whom Swift has immortalised,
" Nor Alps, nor Pyrennees can keep him out,
Nor fortified redoubt ;"
—that is, provided lie has always a Lord Jolla Hay to
repair his blunders by opening, at a safe distance, a terri-
ble .fire of shot and shell upon an enemy with whom
Lord Hay's Government declares that it is not at war !
But more of this again—return we to the exploits of M.
Mendizabal. In relation to the downfall of that Minister,
the Palmerston Journal has the following passage :
" We must own that we think the late Cabinet and
its chief has been very unfairly treated by its assailants,
whether at home or abroad. M. Mendizabal has been
restrainexpected

decisive issue. Any Ministry which shall assume
power on the same conditions will scarce
avoid expe-
riencing the same embarrassments ; and as M. Men--
dizabal has already proceeded far in arranging- the
terms (I a loan, and had already obtaineda signal
earnest of good service from the allies of Spain (Lord
John Hry, to wit), his retirement, however caused,
must, we think, be regarded as an untoward event in
the, present critical state eqll'airs.” So, at all events,
here is an admission that he only asked six months to
settle the affairs of Spain, and has, at the end of nine
months, left those affairs in a "critical state." But then
he was required to combine things the most incompatible.
Who required him to do so ? Only those people who were
foolish and dolt-headed enough to put faith in his own
promises 1 Who promised incompatible, or rather,
we ought to say, who promised impossible things ?
Who promised to raise 100,000 men and to put down
the Carlist insurrection in six months, without foreign
loan or foreign interveotion ? . M. Mendizabal. Yet
we are now told what we knew before, what, we often
in effect, stated before, that, accepting power on such
conditions could only end in embarrassment. Great
is the sagacity of those persons who are wise after
events. Roundly were we rated by those after-sighted
politicians because we told M. Mendizabal, while
fortune yet seemed to smile upon him, that he
,had

it have been for him if he closed his ears to the fatal
charm of flattery, and profited by that honest advice ;
but the truth was unpalatable to hini,—he had probably
become a dupe to his own delusions. The man who
dared to tell him of his errors, and to point out to him
the only way to honourable action or a dignified retreat,
he regarded as an enemy, and this leader of Liberals
violated the liberty of a British subject, and the law of
nations, by seizing and expelling by force of arms our
Correspondent from Spain. That Correspondent pre-
dieted the speedy downfall of a power sc abused, and
the prediction is already verified. The Queen-Regent
who has long disliked him, and wished to rid her-
self of him, waited only until the patience of the
Spanish people was exhausted in expecting the fulfil-.1
ment of his magniloquent promises, and, finding he
had outlived his popularity, she seized upon the earliest
pretext to take his power away, and transferit to
his
political rival and enemy. As to the Government of
Isturiz, we will treat it as we did that of Mendizabal
—not praise it for deeds of patriotism only promised,
or for acts of wisdom yet to be performed. We will
first see what course it really takes before we form a
decided opinion as to the good or evil effects of its
counsels on the destinies of Spain. At the same time
such is the demoralized state of that country, and such
the contempt for principle, virtue, and good faith
among its public men, that it is more safe to augur ill
than well of any Spanish Administration. . The more
we see of Spanish politics and parties, the more we
regret that our Government should ever have mixed
up the honour and interests of England with the fero-
cious animosities and dirty concerns of Spain.—
Morning Herald.-
The enemies of the Conservative party uncon-
sciously pay it the highest compliment, while they
threaten it with destruction. Their language amounts
to this—" Unless you consent to be the slaves of us,
who are ourselves the slaves of O'Connell—unless you
adopt the measures which we adopt from himwe'
shall proceed to such desperate extremities as must put
the Legislative Constitution, and eveh,& Monarchy,
in great danger ; but we believe that you would rather
submit to the wrong we propose than bring the Legis-
lative Constitution and,:-the' Monarchy. into the jeo-
pardy which we threaten, and therefore we use this
threat." What is-the plain inference, but that they
who thus address us believe that we are more loyal
than they—more attached to the Monarchy—more
faithful to the Constitution, and more ready to make
sacrifices for the peace and security of these institu-
tions, than they are to abstain from doing violence to
-them ? And who are they who thus threaten to dis-
turb the country—to stop the wheels of Government
—to destroy the independent voice of: one of the Houses
of Parliament, or "require " it to be overwhelmed by
an ignominious crowd of new voices which they shall
create ? Why, they are the party of the present holders
of the Government ! They are the very men who cannot
without a most dastardly desertion of duty, refrain from
supporting, to the very utmost, those . things which
they threaten to destroy. So monstrous an anomaly
was perhaps never before seen in any State as the
members of an executive Government and their friends
threatening to endanger the existence of the first prin-
ciples of that Government, and that, too, in order to
coerce an Opposition! This is worse than what the
French call " a false position ; " it is a mostunnatural,
a most dishonest position ; and if Ministers were not
more successful in stifling the principles of duty, and
,he sentiments of political honour than they are in any
thing else, they would be reminded at every instant of
their public lives,. that they are in a position from
which. they ought at once to extricate themselves—
they
would perceive that to be servants of the Crown,
and leaders of disturbance—official guardians of the
Constitution, and threateners of it with the pernicious
force of popular excitement, is a combination of cha-
racters which cannot, in the nature of things, be exhi-
bited by honest statesmen. But if such contrariety of
duty and conduct shows that they have little principle,
it is clear that they have even less feeling—feeling of
shame, for example. . Why, even we, who are not
their frielidi, are ashamed of them when we reflect
that being British Ministers, they and their party can
do no better than become followers of such a leader
as Mr. O'Connell. It were enough to be occa-
sionally obliged to him for his assistance, but to be
nothing more than his subordinates is so degrading
a thing that for the sake of Ministers themselves,
we wish it were not so. And it is not that
they are merely his subordinates, and endeavour to
carry on the Government with continual reference to
his views and interests, but they seem even ready to
overthrow the Government with reference merely to his
will.' So little policy have they of their own, that
when Mr. O'Connell turns round upon the House of
Lords, to which a majority of the Ministers belong,
and threatens to abolish wholly the privilege by which
they sit as Legislators, they do not utter a word of ob-
jection, but by their language give indirect countenance
to his threats, and their press does so, as directly as
words can do it. Can abject servility go beyond this?
Should we have heard Lord Lansdowne appealing
to "collision"- as his hope and expectation, or Lord
John Russell arraigning their Lordships from his
place in the House of Commons, but that Mr. O'Con-
nell had set the example, and that they were undeterred
by any feeling of shame from following up his cry ?
" Are we not to entertain the idea of reforming the
Lords ?" exclaims the press of the King's Ministers.
May we not answer, " Entertain it if you think it
right and becoming so to, do, but let it be your own
work—originated by you, followed up by you, and
do not entertain it as the servile echoers of Mr.
O'Connell's Irish shout of destruction to the House
of Lords. If you have reasons of your own, put
them forward on plain English grounds, 'and they
shall have a fair trial after our English fashion.
As it is, you but take up the O'Connell menace, you
come before the public as the seconders of a proposi-
tion made by him in terms which are not only repulsive
to the Constitutional principles, but insulting to the
national feelings of Englishmen. You come at the
back of a man who demands a Reform of the House
of Lords, and plainly informs us that he has seven
millions who will force, it, if it be not given without
force. If this be your way of making known your
idea of Reforming the Lords,' we will not so much
as listen to you, for you do not deserve that attention."
It is asked whether it be more irrational to Reform the
Lords than it was to Reform the Commons ? We
shall meet the question by another. Is it less irra-
tional to ask leave to tiring a Bill into the House of
Commons to Reform the Lords, than it would have
been to ask leave to bring in- a Bill to the House of
Lords to Reform the Commons ? We are aware that
the custom of the House of Lords does not require
leave to be given before a Bill is brought in ; but we
need not point out how instant would have been the
objection on the part of the Commons had any intima-
tion been given that before submitting a plan of Re-
form of their House to them it was to be brought into
the House of Lords in the form of a Bill. It seems
to be but a reasonable privilege of the Houses of
Parliament that the first step in Reforms of either
House should be taken by that which the Re-
forms immediately concern. If another rule be
admitted, all courtesy and cordiality between the
Houses' must be lost. We are told by the
Ministerial press that Mr. O'Connell does not
bring in a' Bill to abolish the House of Lords, but to
reform it. This is a notable defence truly, and with
so much of the quibble in it that we could almost
suppose it to be suggested by that lofty Statesman, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. The scheme of " Re-
form" which Mr. O'Connell has published with his
name is an abolition of the House of Lords. He
proposes that it should cease to be, and that an • elec-
tive assembly of less than one-third the number of the
House of Lords should be substituted for it. He may
call that assembly the House of Lords, and, therefore,
the name would not ,be abolished, but that now sig-
nified by the name would. But, with all due defe-
rence to Mr. O'Connell, we beg to say, that when
we in England want our House of Lords reformed, we
shall take leave to have that reform proposed in some
other way. We shall not require his assistance. We
shall prefer some one with cleaner hands—some one
who is not known to be the most unutterably despi-

c!,...b1e of public men. Granfing-, for the moment, that
it is inereN "reform" of the House 011,w-di's which he
is modest enough to demand, eve beg to tell him
that befot that question can be entertained in Et --7

LONDON MARKETS-THIS DAY.

(From the New London Price Current.)
- COTTON. —The arrivals from the East Indies still continue
to come in freely, nearly 13,000 bales having reached this
port since last Tuesday—the prices still remain nominal,
scarcely an)thing having been done since Friday. Liverpool
Market dull, the sales last week 14,000 bales at lower prices
towards the close.

HOPS.--The prices remain steady, but there has been little
business has been done, owing to the warm weather, the young
Hops at the various plantations are looking extremely healthy.
SPELTER.-The prices since Friday have advanced 40s. and
60s. per'ton ; extensive sales made on the spot and for for-
ward delivery at 231. and 241.
Wool.-The demand for Wool continues to improve, and
full prices paid. Two vessels have arrived from Sydney, with
600 bales of the new clip.
SPICES.-In Spices there has been little done. Pepper
and Cassia Lignea are held for advanced prices. At auction,
this afternoon, 49 casks 35 chests Nutmegs offered, only three
lots good bold Brown sold at 6s. 9d., and one lot ordinary at
ss. 5d., rest taken in. 104 bags Pepper went at 41d. and
4d., good half heavy bright Malabar, full prices.
SALTPILTRE.-The brisk request which existed for. this ar-
ticle in the middle of last week, has been suddenly checked by
the extensive arrivals, nearly 24,000 bags having arrived in the
river since last Tuesday ; and sales of Saltpetre, which had
been previously made at 325., similar quality is now offered at
315., but without finding buyers, and some parcels for prompt
payment have been sold at 30s. 6d. for 4 to 6 per cent. refrac-
tion. English Refined is dull of sale at the quotations.
INDIC:M.-There has been more inquiry, but the limited
business done in the Indigo Market at present have been con-
fined to small parcels of old quality at the rate of the late
quarterly sale. Aacounts have been received from Calcutta to
the 4th March, stating the crop at 108,300 Maunds, out of
which only 55,000 Mauds would be shipped to England ;
the prices there have risen 10 per cent. for the ordinary qua-
lities. The total deliveries of Indigo from the warehouses for
home use for the week ending May 21st and 22d, 163 lbs. of
East India, and 146 lbs. of West India.
DYES. -At auction this afternoon 13 chests Lac Dye sold
at Is. 21d. a Is. 3d.. 6 bags ordinary small silver Cochineal
7s. 3d. a 7s. sd. 5 serons Guatimala Indigo, 4s. Id. a
4s. 10d. all former rates.
Rice.-Although the arrivals of East India have been
large, still the demand has been brisk, principally for exporta-
tion, and stiffer prices obtained. 3,000 bags Bengal taken by
the shippers at 12s. 6d. a 13s. 6d. for white of low and mid-
dling quality. Carolina is in fair request for shipping at 205.,
but there is little doing for the home trade.
PROVISIONS.-The Irish Butter market has become dull,
owing to the low price and large supply of Foreign; there has
been but a limited supply for Dutch, and the arrivals have
been extensive, fine qualities have declined 4s. a 6s. Sales of
Friesland made at 845., the supplies since this day week have
exceeded 8,400 casks. The English market is dull, but
prices are not lower ; Bacon continues to sell freely, 1,500
bales forced upon the market for delivery in the next three
months were eagerly taken, at 535. but there arc generally no
sellers under 553. a 565. for prime small Waterford, landed or
on board ; and Ms. for heavy. Lard has risen to 68s. a 70s.
for prime Waterford bladders, and the trade has again been
eager buyers. The Ham trade is extremely brisk. The Eng-
lish and Foreign Cheese market has been very lively, the town
and country demand being great. India Beef and Pork is
taken in small quantities by the home trade only.
'Faux w.-The Tallow market for parcels on the spot has
been brisk, there having been a good demand from the town
and country trade at 445. 3d. a 445. 6d. There are buyers
for forward delivery at 453., but there being but few sellers
under 455. 6d., not much has been done. Ten of the ships
which were frozen in the ice during the winter, have arrived,
having on board 5,000 casks.
OILS.-There has been a brisk demand for all low descrip-
tions of Fish Oils for the north of England. There have
been some arrivals of Black Oil since Friday, amounting to
about 500 casks. The speculative demand for Sperm con-
tinues brisk at 75/. to 761. Linseed is neglected, owing to
the immense arrival of Seed from the East Indies ; sellers at
41s. 6d. for parcels on the spot. In Rape there has been
more doing, and 475. 6d. paid fur pale.
LAc DYE.-There is a good and regular demand for this
article at late prices. In Lac Lake a good deal has-been done
for home use and on speculatiou. - •
COCIIINEAL.-This article is looking better, more business
done at prices fully equal to those of last public sales, even at
which there are not generally sellers.
COCOA. -British Plantation quiet, the Levant has arrived
from Trinidad with 1,000 bags and 158 casks of the new crop.
The Government contract advertised for 30 to 40 tons Brazil,
causes holders to be firm. The total deliveries of West In-
dia Cocoa from the warehouses for home use for the week
ending May 21st, are 11,515 lbs.

13-• AN-
I.DI, AND —9LLANDS.—TIIe Government contract
which was announced last week had no offect upon the prices,
for they continue steady, and there was a good deal done in
second hand parcels by the trade, but owing to the scarcity of
Jamaica, transactions to any extent were again prevented in
first hand parcels—Geneva and Brandy in limited request,
prices as last quoted.
SUGAR.—The large arrivals near at hand of British Plan-
tation Sugar caused the demand from grocers and refiners to
be very moderate last week, but the quantity on' show being
small, holders succeeded in oktaining priees fully equal to
those of this day week for the quantities disposed of, which
did not exceed 800 hhds. and trs. There was no Market to-
day, owing to the Whitsun hoidays, but business will be re-
sumed to-morrow ; the deficiency in the stock is now very great,
and should not all the vessels off the coast, about 14 in num-
ber, succeed in getting up, the deficiency in the stock next
Tuesday will be 11,000 hhds. and trs., which together with
the scanty stock held by the town and country trade, with the
near approach of the Fruit season, when a great demand Will
exist for Sugar, cause importers to hold their Sugars with much
firmness.
The supply of Refined goods at Market is, still scanty, but
owing- to there having been little demand either from the
shippers' or grocers, prices of the former descriptions arc a
trifle lower ; some small parcels of Lumps to pass the standard
sold for packing at 85s. long price, and some small parcels of
Double Crushed at 435. 6d. a 445. ; Crushed Sugar of Dutch
manufacture is offering at 435. 6d. The stock of West India
Sugars is now 6,490 hhds. and trs., being 7,511 less than last
year. The stock of Mauritius is now 73,701 bags, which
is 48,216 less than last year, (including the East
India Dock.) The delivery of West India last week was
2,044 hhds. and trs., which is 365 less than last year. The
delivery of Mauritius was 8,542 bags, being 584 snore than
the corresponding week of last year (including the East India
Dock.) This day four vessels reported in the river with 809
hhds. and 85 trs. and brls.
MAURITIUS.—No public sales have occurred since our last;
there has been a good demand for parcels by private contract
from the grocers at stiffer prices than those of Tuesday last ;
the deficiency in the stock is now great. Four vessels have
just arrived, having on board 18,976 bags.

Early in the afternoon of the 9th inst. there fe%l:
the galley of Osse, in the Pyrenees, a great quantity of c_ca
mixed with a large portion of matter bearing the coloryThee,
appearance of sulphur. The fall lasted till seven in theree the
ing, and in the morning, the roads and other places, whe,eery
water had a free current, were covered with this extraorai e
substance. We learn front the Corsican journals that the '
winter in that island has been severer than any within ',in
memory of the oldest inhabittot. The mountains arc thate
clothed with snow, and the cold continues so intense,„ be
fears are entertained that the crovs and vegetation 'al'

A letter from the Clergyman of Wooton 139s,seetxt-'
states, that in that Union, the reduction in the last Year seer's
penditure had been 6,0001., compared with the p‘rifarbolerere
expenses, which were 14,000/.; that the agri.:!ulturai lief ie
were in better employ ; that the system of g'iving, rfeletties,
bread was highly approved of by the poorer class' °` than
as such relief could not he turned to any other pilPet the
for the necessities of their families; that the custo,l3 at
beer houses had very sensibly decreased; and that alWg,iispo•
there was a better feeling of respect on one hand, and tt,„e be-
sition to employ the labourer on the other, than had e"-
fore prevailed in that neighbourhood.— Wilts Gazette' lopet
