at the present time, increase that inconvenience,
to the great injury as well of themselves
as of the inheritors of the estates on which their
charges are liens ; and that there was nothing very
formidable in the account of the burdens that would
' be entailed on them by reason of the Labour-rate
Act, and the expenditure occasioned thereby, and by
the other measures which might become necessary
for the relief and mitigation of the fearful distress and
destitution in that country. The soundness and ac-
curacy of these opinions has just received the
strongest confirmation from the proceedings which
' have taken place on' the occasion of a sale of
several valuable freehold estates situate in the county
of Kerry, which were recently brought to the ham-
mer in Dublin, under the auspices of the well-known
and justly respected Mr. W. W. SIBLPSON, of this
city, a full report of which appeared yesterday in
our columns.
The Ministerial intentions have now been fully
developed with respect to the temporary
measures, some of which have already received
the legislative sanction, and a tolerably fair estimate
has been put forward, on competent authority,
as to the amount of outlay that will be necessary to
carry them into full execution—to provide for and
feed the people, and also the portion thereof that will
be chargeable upon the real property of the country.
The nature of the greater part of the permanent
measures have also been explained. It is fully un-
derstood that a comprehensive poor-law, embracing
the principle of out-door relief to the able-bodied, is
to be enacted with all convenient speed, and that a
principle which the landowners have asserted
will be equivalent to a confiscation of
their interests and rights will be brought
into immediate active operation. It is there-
fore impossible to contend that every circum-
stance of the times that could awaken the fears of
purchasers was not fully known, and taken into ac-
count, before those gentlemen decided on entering
into the competition. No better test could possibly
be adopted for ascertaining the views of capitalists
with respect to the social condition of the country,
and the permanent value of property therein, than the
prices realised at such a sale, and yet we find that the
average rate was no less than twenty-seven years'
purchase-money of the lands—a rate as high as al-
most any that has ever been obtained during the most
prosperous period.

This result, following so speedily the high prices
obtained at the uale of the Blessington estates in the
county of Tyrone, affords the strongest evidence that
there is abundance of capital ready to be invested in
the acquisition and improvement of land, and that the
Ministerial measures, while they will afford main-
tenance for the destitute and needy, will not in
any degree injure the owners of the soil.
The opinions of a gentlemen of Mr. SIMPSON'S ex-
perience and judgment, of one so conversant with the
value of real property, must, even if alone, be en-
titled to great weight ; and we find him asserting
that "the loans contemplated by Government, instead
of weakening the security of the present incum-
brances, will place them in a much more secure posi-
tion "—that " the hands of Government are on the
plough," and " that with such a paternal Govern-
ment Ireland, at no distant time, will rise to
that high scale which is her natural posi-
tion amongst the kingdoms of the earth."
These are cheering predictions, and the credit at-
tached to them may be estimated from the spirited
nature of the competition and the high prices ulti-
mately obtained. Such an indication is far more
valuable, and may more fairly be relied on, than the
expressions of discontent which are from time to
time put forward by those whom it would be im-

possible to satisfy by any means, and may be re-
garded as the best rebuke to their protests and
grumblings.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the follow.
iug from Stutgard, 23d ult.:—

'The Second Chamber of the States having solicited the
Government to enlighten it respecting affairs connected with
the liberty of the press, and declared that it regarded the
censorship as unconstitutional, the King of Wurtemburg re-
plied iu the following terms :---1 If we maintain the censor-
ship it is solely because we are forced to do so by the Federal
Legislation and Article 3 of the Constitution; and, if the
censorship extend to internal affairs, it is a necessary con-
sequence of the resolutions of the Germanic Diet of 1813
and 1814. A change of the censorship in general or in parti-
cular could only, be the result of a modification of the Federal
Legislation. We reserve to ourselves to communicate to
the States, in the next session, the steps that we have taken
to effect such a change.' "

Madrid papers to the 24th ult. have been received,

The debate on the Address was still going on in the
Chamber of Deputies. It is said that the Ministry will
adopt the Address as proposed by the Committee, rather
than run the risk of increasing the divisions in the Mo-
derado party.

It appears that the Carlists aro making considerable
progress in the north of Spain. In Biscay they as-
semble in great numbers, and the inhabitants
generally are prepared to take arms on the first appear-
ance of a regularly organized Carlist force. In Cata-
lonia they are traversing the province i❑ large bands,
and notwithstanding the vigilance or the cruelty
of the merciless savage, BRETON, who is Captain-General
of the province, they have entered several large
towns, levied contributions on the authorities, and after-
wards taken their departure without hindrance or moles-
tation.

Tne Espanol says that the Count of MONTEDIOLIN has
been proclaimed at Estella.

THE SITN, LONDON, THUR@DAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 18,17

the British Ambassador and the Minister for Foreign At
It was obvious to everyone that, in the relative public positions
of these diplomatists, a continued suspensio of all personal
intercourse must be detrimental to the public service, and
might be dangerous to international interests. Animated by
these public considerations, Lord Normanby is understood
to have been most anxious that not a doubt should remain on
the mind of any one as to his desire to find himself again in a
position where he could with honour resume the necesFary
oth:ial communications. lie, therefore, gladly availed him-
self of the kind offices of the Austrian Ambassador, Count
d'Appony, and placed the question of the personal differences
existing between M. Guizot and himself entirely in his Ex-
cellency's bands, only requiring that M. Guizot should
manifest that he met Count d'Appony in the same spirit, by
at once declaring that he did not, in his speech of the sth of
February, in the slightest decree mean to impeach the
truthfulness of Lord Normanby's reports. M. Guizot gave
this assurance in distinct terms to Count d'Appony, who
then, on the part of Lord Norniaray, explained the subse-
quent misunderstanding as to the invitation, and said that
there never had been any intention to withdraw that invita-
tion, or to hurt M. Guizot's feelings. In consequence of
these explanations, the official relations between the Minister
for Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador have been
resumed."

On Monday the Marquis of NORMANBY had an inter-
view with M. GIIIZOT at the hotel of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, on the affairs of La Plata. Lord
HOWDEN was to leave on his mission to Buenos Ayres
on Tuesday, and Count WALEWSEI, the French Minis-
ter, will follow in a few days.

On Sunday the Marquis of NORMANBY and the
gentlemen of the English Embassy were received at the
Tuileries by the lima and the Royal Family.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool 3 esterday was rather
quiet. Sales, 3,000 bales. Speculators took 1,000 bales.
American sold at qid. to 734 d. per lb.—Shares were steady.
There are no later sbip arrivals to-day, but the advices
from the Continent are still rather unfavourable in reference
to the grain markets.
The Foreign Exchanges were firm here yesterday afternoon.
The London Produce Markets are thus reviewed in the
monthly report of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury :--
"The business transactions of the past month have again
been extensive, both for Colonial and Foreign Productions;
the quantity of Sugar brought forward for public sale has
been very great, particularly from the East Indies and the
Mauritius, consequently lower prices have been submitted
to; the quantity, however, is now daily diminishing, and
importers show more firmness; the stock now on hand is
barely sufficient for two months' consumption ; the deliveries
for home use for the two months of this year, are about 40
per cent. in advance of last year. The total quantity de-
livered for home consumption for the twelve months ending
the sth January last, shows an increase over the previous
year 0f.18,470 tons."
The accounts from the manufacturing districts are not so
favourable as could be wished : it is feared that the high
price of provisions will seriously affect the spring trade.
There are several large orders in hand from America, and
others are expected to follow; the accounts lately received
thence state that there had been much doing in English
woollen and manufactured goods at considerably increased
prices; it remains to be seen how far the recently proposed
increase of duty (should it be carried into effect) upon Bri-
tish goods will check the demand for them.
By the Overland Mail from India and China, we have
dates from China to the 27th December, Singapore the 7th
January, Calcutta the Bth, Madras the 11th, and Bombay the
15th. From India the accounts are still unfavourable for
British manufactures, as previous rates are not to be obtained,
when any quantity is offered. From China the increase of
business noticed its our last has continued, and as the stocks
are light, as also the expected arrivals, there is every pro-
spect of prices being sustained.
The English Funds have been rather heavy, Consols
realising 90% 1/2 for present transfer, and 9014 % for time.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 3s. to ss. premium for the
1,0001, and the Advertised, par to 3s. premium. The New
Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% to 93%.
Consols Scrip has realised 11/ to 1% premium.
The Foreign Market has been quiet again. Spanish Five
per Cents. are flat at 233/4, and the Three per Cents. 34% 14 ;
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been at 34; Mexican
Stock has realised 22; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 583/ to 58%.
For Railway Shares the inquiry has been moderate;
Great Western and Brighton have been chiefly dealt in.

pate applicants at the different refuges for the 119useless,dur-
ing the last week, show an amount of distress in the metro-
polis unprecedented for many years. On Saturday evening
the number of inmates in the City Refuge, in Playhouse-
yard, Whitecross-street, was 453, of whom 150 were women
and children, and 303 men. At least two-thirds of the appli-
cants for relief were Irish, who are every day becoming more
numerous, whilststhey form a larger majority than has ever
before been known since the opening-of the establishment. At
the Eastern Asylum, in Glasshouse-yard, on Saturday night,
there were 473 inmates, and the accommodation being quite
full, upwards of fifty more unfortunate applicants were ad-
mitted gratuitously into the Model Lodging House, adjacen.
At the West End Asylum, in Upper Ogle-street, 285 were ad-
!flitted, being the highest number which this establishment
can receive. On Monday the applicants were equally nume-
rous, and of a very destitute chame:er.

the ice for the vessels to come to England. The quantities
bought are what may be called immense.—Dublin Pilot.

BENTLEY.
Another pleasant theft from Percy, by Albert
Smith, opens the present number of Bentley. Sir Al-
, dingar is the hero operated on this month, end plea-
santly and merrily does Albert Smith proceed to relate,
after his own fashion of burlesque, the adventures of
' the knight. It is a tale to scream over; but, in the
midst of all the fun, we ever and anon come unexpect-
edly upon a little bit of genuine poetry. Take the fol-
lowing description of " Thames Scenery " as an ex-
ample t--
"Do you know the river above Maidenhead Bridge? If
you do you will be able to call to mind one of the fairest
scenes that our sylvan England can boast of. Hanging
woods, so thick with leaves that the sunlight can ecarcely
quiver on the short and glossy turf below, crime down to
the very water's edge until their lowest branches are kissed
by the ripple, and the petals of their blossoms spangle the
blue river in the springtide. There are long climbing
avenues of scented firs and cedars, dark even in blazing
noon, and tortuous walks amidst gnarled and mis-shapen
bolls of trees, that need every fibre of their writhed roots to
hold them to the slopes they start from. Here and there a
cold spring of crystal waters forms a clear basin, and
gurgles over blue, and white, and mottled pebbles, into
the Thames. It is a pleasant thing in summer to gaze from
the heights on the fair expanse of river and pasture far
below, glittering in the afternoon sun, and hear light laugh-
ter and stray chords of music, flitting through the woods.
You might travel a long way further, and after all your
trouble, see nothing that would excite so much admiration
as the leafy Clifden."
Cooper continues Captain Spike, and the plot thickens
as the tale proceeds. The Swash is joined by a Mexi
can schooner, on board which she tranships her cargo of
flour. One of the casks bursts, and Nlulford discovers
that each cask of flour has in its centre a keg of gun-
powder, so that Spike is in fact supplying the enemy
with warlike stores. lie is likewise in treaty to sell the
Swash to the Mexican Captain, and to the Mexican he
avows his intention of carrying off Rose in the brig to a
Mexican port, and then forcing her to marry him
Mulford and Rose, who overhear these conversations,
take measures to prevent Spike from carrying his inten-
tions into execution ; the Mexican Captain, who is an
n >urable man and completely understands the charac-
ter of Spike, seems inclined to befriend poor Rose; and
even Madame Budd has at length her eyes opened to
the villany of Spike. The ships are lying near each
other—the Mexican Captain being on board the Swash.
Suddenly a furious tornado approaches. The Swa-h
weathers the storm thanks to the able manceuvres
of Spike but the schooner goes down, and
all on board perish. Spike undertakes, for a large
reward, to weigh the schooner, and succeeds in so doing.
The desciiption of weighing the schooner, with which
this chapter concludes, is most graphic. Dr. Cooke
I Taylor, in a review of Miss Pardoe's "Louis XIV.,"
gives an account of the Montpensier marriage of about
a century since between the son of Philip of Spain and
the daughter of the Regent Orleans. which, like the
recent Montpensier marriage, entirely destroyed the
entente cordiale which had preVionsly existed
between the Orleans Princes and England.
Brian O'Linn is continued. "A Sentimental Journey
through Normandy," is a bad rechauffe to the guide
books ; the dullness of which, however, is amply atoned
for by the article which immediately follows—" A lien-
contre with some Bachtiari Bandits between Ispahan
and Shiraz." It is a stirring tale of adventure, stirringly
told by the llon. Charles Stuart. Savile. We have then
a beautifully engraved portrait of Webster, the
great American statesman, accompanied by a short
biographical notice. We have; also a pleasant gossip-
ing paper on the Festivities and Superstitions of
Devonshire," by Mrs. James Whittle; the conclusion of
" Reminiscences of the late Bishop of Norwich," by his
daughter; and several other amusing articles. Leech
furnishes a rich illustration to Sir Aldringar.

II 001,8 GA LINE.

ordinary magazine articles. " Tha Avenger" is brought
to a conclusion, by the publication Of the fifth act, and
with a miscel aneous assortment of cullings, emendations.
sentiments, sonnets, and curiosities of prose and poetry,
en agreable, though cloying, banquet is provided for the

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.
We observe that this Ul iversity organ has a more
substantial appearance now than he ro!ofore. Under its
second editor it is apparently, and if so, not node-
servedly, prospering. Some of the art!eles have latterly
been remarkable flir their elaboration, and, as an exam-
ple of this, we may mention the paper upon " Westmin-
ster Abbey." To those who are most familiar with that
magnificent relic of midceval architecture, it will be as
interesting as to those least acquainted with its antique
beauties. Whatever may be said in depreciation of the
gothic style of architecture as a mongrel style, a barba-
rous and florid style, the superb minsters and abbeys
scattered so plentifully about England attest sufficiently
well the genius of their fabricators, while they render
sarcasm futile and derision dumb by their magnifold
graces and exquisite proportions. Of these buildings,
Westminster Abbey is among the most splendid ; one
portion of it being of matchless beauty (we mean, of
course, King Henry the Seventh's Chapel). But that
the " Sacrifice of Cracow" can scarcely be spoken of too
frequently, inasmuch as it is associated with the liberties
and safety of all the lesser principalities of continental
Europe, we should regard the article under that heading
as rather stale and profitless. With a silly and insigni
ficant vituperation upon Sir E. L. Bulwer Lytton and
his " Lucretia," the minor criticisms form but a con
temptible group. Otherwise, the Oxford and Cambridge
Review is praiseworthy.
