511"1(1 bring in their present Members free of ex-
pense. We have repeatedly expressed our honest
and unbiased approbation of Mr. DUNCOMDE'S con-
;.l‘tle:t, and it will be a reproach to the electors of
11.nsbury should this very useful representative
IVlarassed by any rich and canting' pretender
to great virtues. We venture, therefore, to sug-
gest to the electors of Finsbury at once to open
I.l:Bobseription to return their Members, par-

TooltE directs his moral shafts, free of expense.
There is no doubt whatever that Mr. DuNcomßE
and Ir. WAKLEY will be re-elected for the
borough
; and as both of them have assiduously
attended to the interests of their constituents, as
far
as we have ever heard, and have always
voted honestly and independently, the elec-
t°i.a ought not to suffer them to be harassed by
4rfaspirant to Senatorial honours, whose only re-
commendations are wealth—how got we know
11,—and prodigious self-conceit.

letter from Rome, in the Augsburgh Gazette, says :—..

" The Cardinals have lately' held several conferences, at Which
the religious differences with Spain were discussed. Spanish
ecclesiasties are daily coming to seek an asylum at Rome.
The grand dinner given to M. Ingres, the celebrated French
painter, by the artists of Paris and his friends, took place in
the Salle I%iontesquieu on Tuesday last. The Marquis de
Pastoret was in the Chair ; and at six o'clock 426 guests sat
down to table; M. Ingres was introduced amidst the loudest
acclatnaticns. During the dessert the Chairman addressed M.
Ingres in the name of the company, and, in an eloquent
speech, said they were assembled not merely to congratulate
him on his success in painting, but also to greet him as an
esteemed friend. M. Ingres made a suitable reply. A body
of mu,icians, led by Messrs. Berlioz and Thomas, performed
pieces from Orphee, of Gluck, and Euriante, of Weber. The
party broke up after an evening spent with the utmost cordiality.
We quote the following from the Gazette de France to show
what trash is gravely inserted in the columns of a Joernal :
" A personage in a high situation has just confirmed a state-
ment which we have already published, of not only a partition
of the east being thought of, but also a new division of the
States of Europe. According to this. plan, England would
have Egypt, Russia Constantinople, Austria the provinces on
the Danube, and Prussia would be aggrandised by the addition
of axony, part of Poland, and Hanover. France would be
informed that her conquest of Algiers would no longer be con-
tested. All this would be done without an European Con-
gress, and by means of conferences in which France would have
no part."— Gatignani.
The appeal of Madame Lafrarge from the last sentence of the
Tribunal of Tulle, which defers to the sth of August the
affair of the diamonds, will be decided on Thursday or Friday
next by the Court of Cessation. The appeal will be supported
by M. Daverne.
MAI. de Beaumont and de Tocqueville, who had, been in
Africa to study that couetry, have arrived at Toulon on board
the Tartaca.

By a Royal ordonnance of the sth of June, that part of the
National Huard of Evre-ux which composed the three dis-
banded companies, is. to be immediately reorganized. This
ordonnance directs that only one company shall be formed; the
remainder of the men are to be distributed among the clothed
companies.
An extraordinary meeting of the Municipal Council of Per-
pignan took place on the 9th of June, in which an energetic
protest was agreed to against the measures ordered by the Mi-
nister of Finance to increase the burdens of the country.
This pretest will be addressed to the Ministers and the
Prefect.

The Municipal Council of Perpignan has been, on this oc-
casion, the organ and the echo of the country. Its example
will doubtless be imitated by the other towns, and the Govern-
ment will learn that there are barriers which despotism and
the thirst of gain cannot pass.—Emancipator de Toulouse,
June 12.

The Hablador of Madrid, of the 9th, says—
" The Members of the Committee of the Chamber which is
to examine the question relative to the guardianship of the
Queen, have had a conference with the Ministers of State and
Justice, end it is probable that the Report on the affair will be
very shortly laid before the Chamber. "—Le Commerce, June 16.

Advices from Madrid of the 10th inst. state that the
Fete Dieu was solemnised with great pomp in that capi-
tal. The procession was headed by ESPARTERO, who
took the place of the Kings of SPAIN. On the right of
the REGENT walked M. CALATRAYA, President of the
Senate, and on his left M. ARGUELLES, President of the
Chamber of Deputies. All the Senators and Deputies in
the capital followed in robes and court dresses. The
Young QUEEN was ninon the spectators at the Hotel
de Ville, where her MAJESTY was attended. by all the
distinguished Members of her Household. Not the
slightest interruption of public tranquillity took place.
The Committee on the Tariffs had presented its Bill
to the Chamber of Deputies. It recommends the Go-
vernment to exact, without mitigation, the duties
upon all imported goods, and to make known the result
to the Cortes in 1843, in order that the Customs'-laws
ma.y be amended. One of the members of the Com-
mittee, M. SANCHEZ, drew up a separate Report, in
which he recommended the Government to conclude a
commercial treaty with Great Britain, before enforcing
the Tariff regulations. He proposes as the basis of this.
treaty, that English cotton goods shall be admitted into
Spain at a low rate of duty, provided England consents
to reduce to a corresponding extent the duty on Spanish
wines, wools, and fruits. We fear the bulk of the
Spanish nation is too little versed in the principles of
free trade to adopt the liberal and enlightened views of
Senor SANCHEZ. The influence of the " old House,"
" You-must-buy-at-my-shop," and "Rotten-ship" inte-
rests, is greater in the Peninsula than that of all the other
interests—social, political, and religious put together. .
The Spanish Government appears resolved to carry on
its warfare with the Church with a high hand. One
Ecclesiastic, the Cure VILLACARTINE, was recently
brought to trial for reading the POPE'S Allocution from
the Pulpit in contempt of the orders of the REGENT.
The accused pleaded his higher obligation of spiritual
allegiance to the visible head of the Church, but
the plea was not admitted, and having been found
guilty he was sentenced to be deprived of his cure,
and undergo the penalty of transportation to the Island
of Majorca. The submission of Portugal to the Court
of Rome has given great offence to the Spanish Regent,
who mutters threats of war unless DONNA MARIA CRIS Off
all intercourse with the Holy See. This appears to us
exceedingly unjust. As Portugal is not the temporal
ally of Rome, and in no way interferes in the dispute
between Spain and the PoPE, we cannot understand Upon
what just principle Spain threatens to disturb her re-
pose. The right of Portugal either to adopt or reject a
spiritual re-union with the head of the Romish Church is un-
doubted. Besides, Portugal has a great interest in settling
her disputes with the POPE. In the course of recent nego-
tiations between the Courts of Vienna and Lisbon, Prince
MErrEnNieu informed the Portuguese Minister that the
Courts of Vienna, St.Petersburgh,land Berlin, only awaited
the POPE'S recognition of Queen DONNA MARIA, to fling
Don MIGUEL overboard, and to join with the Western
Powers in acknowledging the legal accession of her MA-
JESTY. Already Austria is preparing to send an Am-
bassador to Lisbon, to realize the promises of Prince
METTERNIcit. Letters from Vienna of the sth instant
say, that this mission will fall to Baron MARSHALL,
Austrian Internuncio at Washington. Surely conside-
rations such as these ought to have their due weight
with the Spanish REGENT, allowing that there existed,
which there does not, some cause of quarrel with Por- '
tugal for travelling singly to Borne. .
We have no monetary news from Madrid of the 10th
instant. On the 9th the Bourse transactions in the Five
per Cents., 22 in number, amounted to 15,000,000 reals,
and were done at 261 for cash, and 26 271 at dif-
ferent dates. The coupons to be capitalized sold for
22i a at 60 clays, and the posterior debt bearing no in-
terest at 61 I at 60 days.

PARLIAMENT WILL BE PROROGUED either Tuesday
or Wednesdiiy.
The reports that there was to be a further change in
the Home-office, and that Lord Morpeth was to be suc-
ceeded as Secretary for Ireland by Mr: Stanley, the Se-
cretary of the Treasury, are unfounded. It is, however,
true that Sir Henry Parnell retires from the situation of
Payniaster of the Yorces, and that Mr. Stanley will be
appointed to that office.
We understand that Madlle. Launitz gives an Evening
Concert on Monday next (the 21st), which will be under
the immediate patronage of the Archbishop of York.
The Concert will take place at the Queen's Concert-
room, Hanover-square, and' judging from the excellent
programme which we have seen, and which comprises
selections from the best modern masters, we should say
that it will be fully and fashionably attended.
THE PRICE OF CORN.—The Tory Journals have lately
boasted of the low price of corn during the last few
years. The average since 1829 has been about 565., and
the price in 1815, when the Corn-law was passed, was
upwards of 80s. It is undoubtedly a fact, that the price
on the whole has fallen considerably, even in England,
since the war ; and so it ought, for reduction of price is
the object of all improvement. But this shows that the
law of which the Tories boast has not answered the
purpose of the landlords. It was intended to keep up
the price of corn, in spite of all the striving of skill and
i:,tAligence, to upwards of 60s. at least. In fact, the
law has aimed at an impossibility. The price here,
communicating as our country does with all the world,
must come down in the long_ run to the price of other
countries, plus the expense of transit. That cannot be
helped ; the only question is, whether it shall come down
by unfettered communication, producing prosperity to
all, or by starving down our people to a level with our
means, the supply obtained from our own soil. The
landlords have resolved on the latter course and unex-
' °milled misery is and has been the result. If anything
could keep up price it would be unfettered intercommu-
nication, which would give such a stimulus to the
growth of a town population as to make it difficult for
agriculture to keep pace with it. The landlords, how-
; ever, prevent this, and are as silly' and mean as they are

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.

CITY FRIDAY EVENING.
Money in the Stock Exchange seems easier, and as the ac-
counts from the manufacturing districts have been more
favourable within the last day or two, there is likely to be a bet-
ter feeling ere long among the commercial interests generally.
Political excitement is the chief bar to an improvement in trade.
The Funds were firm to-day, and in some instances a slight
advance .occurred. Consols were 89 to 891 buyers; Exche-
quer Bills at ss. to 7s. premium ; and the Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents, at an improvement to 89i ; Exchequer
Bills weress. to 7b. premium.
Fort ign Stocks and Railway Shares ranged lower. Spanish
Actives at •.11i to 22, Portuguese, New, at 33, Mexican at
264 ; Chili= at 60q, and Dutch TWo-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 52k. Great Western Railway Shares were 241 to
251 prem., Brighton 61, and South Eastern 18 disc.
Bills of Exchange on the principal Continental Cities were
supported this afternoon at firm rates, viz., Paris 25f. 60c. to
65f., Hamburgh 13 10i to a, Amsterdam 12.41, and Frank.
fort 150.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 17.—We have had
a better demand for' Cotton to-day from the trade, and the
Market may be considered to have advanced in improvement
considerably. The amount of busineis done is from 4,000 to
5,000 bales. Nothing in speculation or export.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JUNE 17.—A very limited
business has been doing in the share Market to-day. Grand
Junction, Quarter Shares, 2540 London and Birmingham,
Quarter Shares, 23; Ditto, New Shares, 244.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 17.—Our market
closes without any improvement; quotations as follows:
London and South Western, 54 55; Manchester and Leeds,
526- 53 ; London and Brighton, 44} 45 ; North Midland,
Flair Shares, 34 34k; Manchester and Liverpool District
Bank, 20.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of June 17.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, JUNE 15.—A1l the Funds were
heavy to-day, although there were no heavy sales, and all the
prices were lower. The cause of this heaviness may be attri-
buted to the approaching time when several of the Powers are
going to make loans. France is expected daily to make a large
one; Austria has concluded one; Russia is also preparing, to
raise money : the Funds of the two last nations have fallen,
and our National Funds have followed the same example. 'she
Actions of the Society of Commerce were freely offered.

" It is stated in well-informed quarters to-day that
Messrs. Cockburn and Co. will ultimately pay their debts
in full. They owe about 250,0001., and have 80,0001.
due to them in Sydney alone, where, however, from the
recent heavy failures, we fear they will not realize any-
thing like the full amount."

By some inadvertence on the part of our City
Correspondent, the name of a highly respectable
house in the City was printed in our Morn-
ing Edition of yesterday in the above paragraph,
instead of that of Cockburn and Co. We are
happy, however, that no damage can ensue from
the mistake, as the circumstances men-
tioned in the context so clearly point out the
house of Messrs. Cockburn and Co., whose
affairs have lately been before the public. For our
own part, we regret exceedingly the error—and
our only consolation is that the high standing of
the other firm referred to carries its own refu-
tation on the face of the paragraph, coupled with
the circumstances already known.—En. Sun.
