Malta Papers received announce the ar-
rival at that island on the 12th, of Admiral
Sir W. PARKER and Sir H. POTTINGER, by the
Great Liverpool, which re-sailed with them on
the following day for Alexandria. Admiral Sir
ROBERT STOPFORD was to sail fir England on
the 19th. The Right Hon. J. S. MACKENZIE,
Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands,
arrived at. Corfu from Alexandria on the Sth inst.

From Constantinople and Alexandria we have advices
of the 7th instant respectively. On the 4th, a copy of
the new Imperial firinan reached MEJIEMET ALL He
is reported to have appeared tolerably well pleased with
it. He only objected to the amount of tribute as too
exorbitant, and to the article respecting the hereditary
succession as too vague. These objections have been
anticipated by us in commenting, in The Sun of Thurs-
day last, on the revised Imperial firman. The virulence
of the plague was abating in Egypt.
On the sth inst. Count MEDEM, the Russian Minister
to the Court of Persia, left Constantinople for St. Pe-
tersburgh. On the same day a Turkish frigate, a brig,
and a corvette, with some troops and military stores on
board, sailed for Candia to co-operate with the block-
ading sluadron. The Candiote insurgents evinced no
disposition to yield.
The latest advices from Persia are to the 29th April.
Colonel STODDART had then been set at liberty at
Bokhara, and Dr. Rum{ having seen the fortress of
Gorian evacuated by the Persians, had returned to
Meshid on his way to Teheran. In the present state of
our affairs in the East, it is important to restore as early
as possible our amicable relations with Persia.

Advices from Madrid, of the 18th and 19th inst. re-
spectively, have reached us. The former day being the
anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution, the
Bourse remained closed. There is no lack of idle days
in Spain. A commercial country with half such a num-
ber of Saints' days and political commemorations, would
be ruined in one year. The furnaces would produce no-
thing, for hardly would they be heated before some Saint
would make interest with the Pope to grant a plenary in-
dulgence for cooling them. The Catholic is essentially
a pastoral and agricultural religion ; the Protestant, on
the other hand, is a manufacturing and commer-
cial creed. Cows will graze, and corn will
grow, whether the agriculturist toil or repeat his
pater rosters; but the loom stands still without the weaver,
and while the trader is at his devotions or his diversions,
there can be no interchange of commodities.
The Commission appointed to examine the question
of the QUEEN'S: guardianship presented the following
Report to the Cortes :

" The Commission declares that the of guardian to her
Majesty and her august sister being vacant, and that circum-
ztance falling within the provisions of article 60 of the Con-
st it
the Cortes now decide :
" Ist. 11,2 t the discussion is opened on the declaration
that the post of guardian is vacant, until the Chamber pro-
nounce that discussion to be at an end; and
"2d. That things having thus taken place the Government
advise, conformably to the law of July 19,1837, and to the bases
adopted by the two Legislative Chambers, ow the Regency
question to assemble the Cortes, in order to name the said
guardian to her Majesty and her august sister.
It is said tit4,l::.vf,:l2TrZury ;. i"',,,o‘rs'-ttic infant
PAULO to be one of them. lie has re-
plied to the PRINCE'S address of congratulation on his
appointment to the Regency.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.—Captain the Hon. Henry
John lions, who has offered himself for the representa-
tion of Westminster on the Conservative interest, is a
brother of the Earl of Stradbroke, and lately commanded
the Pique frigate. He is a member of the Jockey Club,
and the only pretensions he has to the suffrages of the
Men of Westminster, is the circumstance of his having
been bred to the sea, and occasionally acting as Steward
of the Hippodrome Race-course at Notting-hill. His co-
lours are characteristic of the party he belongs to, namely
that of a Harlequin, in which colour he has exercised his
equestrian abilities in steeple chasing, and would now, if
possible, fain ride into the Senate House.
The Electors of the County of Hefts are possibly not
aware that the Hon. Granville 1). Ryder has been a
burden uponitis country for the last twenty years, drain-
ing it of public money, without ever having rendered any
service to the State in return. It was by means of the
aristocratic interest of his family that, in 1819, he ob-
tained, after a brief service, a commission as Lieutenant,
Itlf„ and only served a short period in the Owen Glen-
dower frigate, when he turned " blue," to use a nautical
phrase for a Pharisee but although become a man of con-
science, he could not stretch it so far, as to give up the
half-pay attendant upon the rank. Let the Independent
Electors for a moment consider what the value of an
annuity of 1001. per annum has been worth to him,
drained from the pgisets of the people for the last 20
years. _

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
LIVERPOOL COrrOg MARKET, JUNE 25.—The trade this
week have purchased Inorelroely awl with a greater confidence
than fur some time previous, inflonced by an increased inquiry in
the Manchester Market, and a slight improvement in prices ;
yet in consequence of a large .addition to the stock, which is
now the heaviest on record, and the pretty general anxiety on
the part of holders to reduce, they have been enabled to make
their selection upon a 3 favourable terms in all descriptions as
2t the close of the last week. Speculators have taken '2,000
bales, and exporters 400 bales American.

The British Funds continue inactive, scarce a bargain has
been done during the morning, consequently there is not a fea-
ture worth attention to report. The order of the day is the
elections, and nothing else is thought of in the City.
Consols remain as they left off yesterday, 69i a for the Ac-
count ; Reduced, 89i ; Exchequer Bills, 9 7 10 prem. ;
India Bends, 2 prem.
The ;Foreign Market is also in a dull state, with nothing
doing. Spanish Active, nothing done ; Portuguese, 33 ;

There is nothing but politics talked or thought of in the
City to-day, and the electioneering squibs are unusually
spirited. One street-crier announces a grand ball at
Newgate, for, the benefit of the Conservatives, which is to be
so fully attended that he has only four tickets left,
and these he leaves us to infer are reserved for
the City candidates. The opposition party have two
dolls chained in a cage, as the representatives of the Sheriffs,
but say nothing about Tory votes having helped to put them
there. As to the Guildhall, it has not quite the same brilliant
appearance as on the occasion of her Majesty's visit, being
literally plastered with electioneering bills and pictuires.
Amidst the din of party strife, it gives us pleasure to advert
to the improved position of the Bank of England, whose stock
of bullion has increased by 177,000/.' This will be of service
in paying the July dividends.
