EDI VED BY ELIoT WABBUBToN, EFq.,
Author of " The Crescent and the' ross."
" This work has alrea ly reached a third edition. We shall be
surprised if it Ce not go through many. It poesses almost every
qualification of a good book. We cordially recommend it to our
readers, as well for the amusement of its lighter portions, the vivid
brilliancy of its descriptios, and the solid information it contains."--

with a fair and ample profit, retainrd that abundance

one," he unquestionably comprises in his own proper
person all the invidious characteristics of the three
Parcae. As far as the Peninsula is concerned, the
French KING holds at once the spindle, the wheel, and
the shears. He retains more than a life-interest in the
sway exercised over the Spanish dominions : he re-
gulates, in short, the destinies of Spain, by having
secured the reversion of its dynastic privileges to the
offspring of his youngest son.
Congratulate ourselves and Spain therefore as
we may upon the instalment of Senor PA-
CHECO in the presidential chair of ISABELLA'S per-
sonally selected Cabinet; rejoice as we may over
the probability of a comprehensive and benignant
amnesty ; exult as we may over the auspicious birth
of the Pacheco Administration, over the indisputable
discomfiture of the pimping polity of the Afrance-
sados, and over the rumoured restoration of ESPAR-
TEIIO to those dignities and immunities which his
prowess, his genius, and his patriotism had nobly
earned—it would be folly to conceal from ourselves
the conviction that these boons can merely be of
temporary duration unless the laws of nature and
the dispositions of a whole people be miraculously
transformed. Happily, however, there is invariably
a residuum of Hope after the most Pandorean torrent
of affliction, and this Hope beams brightly enough
from the embers of the traitorous Afrancesados.
Courage, then, to those lovers of fatherland who may
evince in cherishing the financial prosperity of their
country, in maintaining an honourable friendship
with disinterested states, and in conducting the in-
ternal administration with sobriety, probity, and
regularity, as heroic, though scarcely so chiva'rous
and picturesque a patriotism, as that evinced by
Spanish Hidalgos of the olden time. Men now -
a-days cannot assert their loyalty to the con-
stitution, or their devotion to the land of
their birth by donning hauberks of " twisted mail,"
or couching lances of tough ash, but they may much
more effectually, if not so picturesquely, become
the preux-cheraliers of a nation by adroitly fingering
the red tape, and judiciously arranging the portfolio.
We are not indisposed to be sanguine therefore as to
the benefits which may be derivable from PACXE CO
and his colleagues.

petition, would 112.ve alleviated the general misery
and preserved the lives of many who perished, the',
victims of these sordid epirits. They hoped to obtain
famine prices ; they heeded not the wretchedness of
the million, that whole families should be swept
away, that pestilence occasioned by the want of a
sufficiency of the common necessaries of life,
should prevail throughout the length and
breadth of the land, provided they could
obtain an increased price and still greater gains.
Mammon took possession of their hearts, and thoy
we're blinded to every consideration save that of pelf.
But happily they have reckoned without their host ;

in the political preponderance remaining in the hands of
the Moderadoes. We anxiously desire that a perfect ac-
cord should exist between the Throne and the Chambers,
because it is the basis, the essential condition of the
representative Government. We desire it, particularly
at this moment, who n Spain has scarcely emerged from
an ae,itation inseparable from the election of a new L,-
gislature, and when, if she be sufficiently strong to bear
the action of free inStitu'ions, she may not be as Well
prepared to bear their abuses. However extraordinary
the change of a Ministry may appear, immediately after
a vote of the Chambers giving it an unequivocal proof of
their confidence, nevertheless, as notwithstanding the
change of persons, it is not likely that any important
change will ensue in the political system, as most of
the present Ministers have been chosen arnorgst
the party which has hitherto directed public affairs,
we confidently trust that a good understanding
will continue to subsist among the great powers of
the State. If we consider as a paramount inter-
est for Spain and France the preponderance of the
party called., Moderate, it is because we are persuaded
that it is the most capable to direct the Spanish Govern
ment in a regular and pacific course, and that it is alone
likely to insure to the country a few years' repose, which
a mischievous spirit of intrigue is constantly endeavour
ing to _disturb. We do not mean to say that one party
should remain for ever in possession of the Government.
This can no more be expected in Spain than in England
or France. The Progressista party may have its day ;
its turn will certainly arrive ; but we do not regard this
as an opportune moment for its accession to power. In
the present situation of Spain the Moderate party, taken
generally, offer all the elements necessary to achieve a
legitimate and rational progress. The programme of M.
Pacheco is a proof of it. Nothing would authorise us to
doubt the sincerity of the assurances of the new Minis-
ters, and we should only see the necessity of reminding
them of their promises if they were to forget them."
The Presse also affects resignation under its afflic-
tions, but the acts of the inspirers of these two-
journals betray their alarm. CHRISTINA was closeted
three times on Sunday with Louis PHILIPPB, and
after each conference M. GUIZOT was sent for.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesteralay was firm
at Frida)'s rates. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including
3,000 balis of American at bid. to 7i-d. per lb. Shares
were steady.
The returns of the receipts of the quarterly revenue,
which were made public this morning, have given a con
siderable degree of satisfaction in all circles here. That
trade has it creased was pretty well an ascertained fact
before Eh* official receipts of the Customs and Excise
were known. Indeed, the ports of London and of Liver-
pool have, for the principal portion of the quarter
which has just ended, been in a most active state.
The deliveries of goods of all sorts have been large, and
almost exclusively for instant consumption—cotton
and cern excepted—not on speculation.
Nothing further has transpired relative to the re-
ported•loss of the West India mail steam-packet Twecd.
L. is considered certain, that should the intelligence un-
fortunately be true, that the numbrr of passenlers could
not have been as great as has been stated.
Much solicitude is still felt in the City relative to the
influence that may be produced on the Money ivlarket
by the recent resolve on the part of the directors of the
Bank t f England, in restric..ing the movements of the
ifiscount firms of the City. In comcquence, the result of
the next wei kly meeting of the court on Thursday is
looked for with anxiety.

The Funds opened well this morning on account o
the revenue, but have gone back since. Consuls were
881 1, and are now 88. Bank Stock is worth 199} to
200 tx dividend. Exchequer-bills have realised Is. to

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds have
been 24+ 4, and the Three per Cents. 36 to 35k. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. are 34+; Brvainans have been
841. The Spanish Investments are very buoyant.
Shares are very dull, but steady in price.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSNIOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiralty have it in
contemplation to erect a barrack at Gosport for this di-
viaion of the Royal Marines, their present quarters in
this citadel being vo circumscribed fer their rapidly in-
creasing numbers, as well as being very old and ill
adapted for the requirements of this important and
highly serviceable body. If these barracks are erected
at Gosport, Portsmouth will lose at 1: ast, it is computed,
25,010/. per annum. Their Lordships are not anxious
to take this great amount of benefit away from the trade
of Portsmouth, and would prefer building the new guar-
' ters within the walls of the garrison, but the corporate
authorities, we are informed, are averse to meeting the
Admiralty properly in the matter, their Lordships want-
ing the site of the borough gaol for the marines' new
quarters, which there is a reluctance to give up, albeit
for a handsome "consideration," althoogh there are
other sites within the walls of the town which would be
much more suitable for the position of the sessions'-
house than its present situation. If the corporation do
not meet the Admiralty in this matter, the borough will
assuredly sustain the loss above mentioned, and at the
same time, it is considered, lose the finest opportunity
they ever had of materially improving the most im-
portant entrance to the garrison from the land side.
The Sidon steam frigate,- Captain Henderson, C. 8.,
completed coaling and storing at noon to-day, and would
then have gone out, but a merchantman having fouled
her whilst lying alongside of the jetty, whereby she (the
merchantman) lost her fore yard, delayed ber some
time. She went out to Spithead at half-past one o'clock,
and excited considerable interest among a large con-
course of spectators. She lay-to at Spithead to await
the arrival of an express messenger from the Foreign-
office with important dispatches for the British Minister
at Lisbon. The Admiralty have also sent out dispatches
for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, the Commander-
in-Chief in the Tagus, whose fleet will speedily be rein-
forced with more ships. The Myrtle steam tender, Se-
cond Master-Commanding Bailiston, took out the Go-
vernment messenger to Spithead, with the dispaches,
and immediately afterwards the Sidon weighed, and left
for Lisbon.
In reporting the Admiralty's trial of this real man-of-
war steamer on Saturday, we stated that the davits ap-
plied to her paddlebox boats, and which exhibited such
instantaneous facilities for launching those boats over
the side, were made upon a plan the invention of Mr.
Barr, Inspector of Shipwrights at Woolwich Dockyard.
We are now requested to state that the davits for the
Sidon's boats are the invention of Captain Geo. Smith,
MN., the inventor of the paridlebox boats; but who did
not patent or secure the plan, becau.e of the expense
attending 0-wir fitting, which is three times as much as
his present plan of fitting davits, and causes twice the
weight of material to be used.
The wind having come round to the westward, and
blowing fresh, Mr. Bellamy was compelled to return
from Brook to-day with the Myrtle steamer and Drake •
lighter, without being enabled to accomplish the object
in view of raising the guns, &c., of the Sphynx.
Commander Wm. Ellis, R.N., late Master of the Royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, is appointed Government
Emigration Agent at Waterford, and left this evening-
for his post. Captain Ellis is an old war officer, who,
was promoted to his present rank last year, with manY
other of the same class, for his long and fai:hful ser-
vices, having been actively employed since the year
1800, and since the year 1809 as waster. In Allen 'S
New Navy List, Captain Ellis is recorded "as Master of
the Havock, and fre-quently employed in her boats
against the Danish flotilla in the Cattegat, in 1808; and
of the Castillitm at the attack of the French flotilla, and
capture of the Ville de Lyons prelim off Boulogne in
1811, and the recapture of the Apelles sloop-of-war off
Etaples; also at the capture of a French lugger privy-,
teer, of 10 guns and 57 men, off Dieppe.

MILITARY IssrEcTlON.—Major-General Lard F.
Fitzclarence, G.C.8., leieutenant-Governor of l'orts-
mouth, and Commatider-in•Chief of the south-western
district, made his first Oficial inspection yesterday en..
Southsea.common. The 43.1 Light Infantry, Lieutenant-
Colonel J. Forting, of which celebrated regiment
the late Lteutenant-Governer of Portsmouth (Lieutenant.:
General the lion. Sir 11. Pak, nham, K.C.8.) is Colonel*
were the troops inspected, and were put through all the
evolutions of field service, which they executed in a
manner most highly creditable to themselves, and
eminently gratitytng to their distinguished General and
Celonel-in- Chief. Sir 11. Pakenharu relinquished the
command of the above garrison and district on Thursday
last, and is at present sojourning with his family under
the hospitality of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, Cs'
Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, until the ter-
mination of the sale of their affects in the Government
House. Lord Fitzdarence remains at the George
Hotel, where all the business of his command is et
present transacted, and will continue to be until the
Government House has been surveyed arid repaired, if
found worth the expense ; if not, a new official mansion
will be erected, it is supposed on its original site, the
Grand Parade.
A monument to Lord Byron at Alissolongbi is
spoken of, to be erected on the site of the now demo-
lished house in which the champion-bard died. Tbe,
proprietor has offered the ground for the purpose, and
a handsome subscription towards the work has be&
commenced.
AN UNINTENDED TEMPTATION.—On a field IA
the outskirts of Manchester there is erected a board 011
which is painted the following rather tempting notice:---'
" Five Pounds Rewaid. Any Person found, breaking
down or removeing, any Rails or Posts from the Fences
of this estate, shall upon conviction receive the above
reward." We omit the name of the solicitor to wbore
applicwion is to be made for the reward, lest he should
be pestered with a crowd if applicants, willing, for the
sake of the 51. offered, to break down as many fences as
