LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1847.

queen ISABELLA is at length being cheered on in
her Constitutional policy by the enthusiasm of the
Spaniards. A marvellous contrast is presented be-
tween the sombre multitudes assembled along the
causeways of Madrid for the reception of the Duc DE
MONTPENSIER, and the uproarious crowds collected
together in the same locality for the laudation
of the youthful ISABELLA. It were absurd, never-
theless, to place any extraordinary reliance upon
a popularity whose very suddenness and ecstacy is an
indication of its evanescence and fickleness. Much,
however, may be accomplished in the event of her
Spanish MAJESTY availing herself of these extrava-
gant expressions of loyalty, and of effectually
strangling the nearly exhausted faction, by whose
execrable selfishness the Peninsula has been nearly
deprived of its nationality. The initiative has

certainly been already taken in this labour of reforma-
tion by the dispersion of the Sotomayor Cabinet, by
the dismissal of the detected chief of the Camarilia,
the Marchioness of SANTA CRUZ, and subsequently
by the confinement of FRANCISCO Cam) in the castle
of Almeira, and the incarceration of AVIRANETA in
the castle of Alicante—Casco being the Afrancesado
Due D'OTRANTO, and AVIRANETA the Afrancesado
VIDOCQ. It is among the many anomalies visible in
the political vicissitudes of civilised Europe that the
administrations of Spain are as dissimilar in colour
and design as the broken bits of glass and stained
beads in the cup of a kaleidoscope, and that the
temperament of the populace fluctuates and alternates
in like manner. Nothing has appeared more self-
evident than this variation during the past sixteen
months of Spanish history. Out of the very torpor
and phlegm with la hich the machinations of Louis
PHILIPPE were observed has emerged a fury and
frenzy of delight upon the counteraction of those
machinations. Madrid puts on its holiday garments,
hangs its tapestries and brocades out of the
windows, scatters blossoms and garlands on the
gravel, and makes the streets ring with novel
acclamations— Viva nuestra amada Reina! illuera los
Afrancesados ! Viva la Independencia Nacional!
Meanwhile the puppet imbecile, the King-Consort
FRANCISCO mopes in the more secluded chambers of
the palace, and—

" Crasse de r oisivete '—
learns by rote the political amulet of his patron
Gun OT

" Fide la Liberte !
A bas la Liberte I"

It is very romantic and ;picturesque, no doubt, for
the Queen ISABELLA to receive coronals of flowers
from her loving lieges when taking an airing in her
carriage, and it is still more romantic and still more
picturesque for her MAJESTY to shelter a carrier pigeon
(adorned with the national ribbons) in her lap.
But, gratifying as these incidents may be to her sus-
ceptible, and apparently not volatile disposition,
Queen ISABELLA must not rest satisfied with the
fleeting jubilations of the hour. Her Most Catholic
MAJESTY must remember thatshe is only now welcomed
with these affectionate eccentricities because of the
hopes she is inspiring—not because of the good she has
yet accomplished, but because of the good she promises
to accomplish. Let Isamx.r.a 11. bear this in recol-
lection, or the paroxysm of love and gladness may be
followed by a paroxysm of abhorrence and despera-
tion. That tide in her affairs has arrived,
which, " taken at the flood," may conduce to a pro-
tracted, prosperous, and glorious reign. Let not
that auspicious flood subside without some cor-
responding movement. Let not the golden op-
portunity float past like a vision of the morning.
Iberia is by no means freed from her relentless anta-
gonists--from those enemies to her independent
existence, who, by their hypocrisy, are more formi-
dable than declared foes. As the Edinburgh Review
observes, " MacHiavEL would have admired the
skill with which the game of the MONTPENSIER
marriages was played by the French Government ;"
and as it was such a masterpiece of diplomatic cun-
ning, it requires more than one convulsion to
be rid of its consequences. Like the system
adopted by SINBAD the Sailor, the grape must
be pressed, the juice fermented, and the potion im-
bibed, before the old monster can be shaken off, and
brained with his own calabash ! Unlesa the liberal
policy of Queen ISABELLA be more fully developed,
we shall infallibly see a disastrous re-action.

The attention of the House of Lords was last night
directed by the Marquis of WESTMEATH to the
painful scene which took place the other day at Bury
St. Edmund's, where the extreme sentence of the
law was carried into execution on the person of
CATHERINE FOSTER, who had been found guilty ot
having poisoned her husband. In consequence
of the unskilful manner in which the execu-
tioner discharged the dreadful functions of
his office, the unfortunate woman was kept in such
protracted agony that the feelings of the spectators
were completely shocked ; and the most vehement
expressions of indignation escaped the lips of the
surrounding multitude, which amounted to several
thousands. Even if the above were a solitary instance
in which the extreme penalty had, been put in force
in a manner revolting to public sentiment, it could
not be properly passed over in silence, because, as the
end of public executions is to present a dread
warning to the people that the deprivation of life will
be the certain punishment of those found guilty ot
committing crimes of the highest magnitude, so is it
of the utmost consequence to public morals, and with
the view of rendering the solemn spectacle of an exe-
cution as efficacious as possible as a salutary example,
that, when the majesty of the law is thus vindi-
cated, every cafe should be taken that indignation
against the authorities does not usurp the solemn
reflections which it is intended should be generated
within the precincts of the scaffold. But these
-shocking mishaps have become too frequent of late
not to require something more than a passing re-
buke. When TAWELL was hanged, for the murder
of SARAH HART, his torture was said to have been
unnecessarily prolonged through some defective ma-
nagement of the apparatus of death; and very recently,
when WELSH and MATHEWS expiated their crimes at
Morpeth, a most harrowing exhibition of protracted
suffering took place, owing to the ropes placed round
their necks being too long. The consequence was.
the feet of the wretched men found a resting place,
and in that position they ejaculated the most piteow
cries, to the great grief and horror of the spectators.
The executioner then lifted them up by thf
ropes, and, after some time, terminated their suf-
ferings by sheer strangulation. We hope thf
Secretary of State for the home Department
will institute such inquiries connected with thie
painful subject, and provide such regulations fw
the future, that the public will be spared the repeti-
tion of anything similar to that which occurred on
Saturday last at Bury St. Edmund's. Although
we think that hanging is not an unexceptionable
method for depriving crimivals of life, yet we ar,
not prepared to recommend the substitution of r.
better ; but, of all substitutes, the one to w hich we
should the most strongly object is the garotte..
which was last night suggested by the Marquis ot
WESTMEATH. From the different accounts we have.
read of this plan of execution, which is adopted h.
Spain, we are sure it is the last that would lx
tolerated by the English public.

The Irish Poor-law and the Landed Property
(Ireland) Bills, which received the final sanction Uri
the House of Commons on Friday evening, were 12.3‘
night introduced into the House of Loads. Tht
second reading of each was fixed for Thursday week,
the Noble President of the Council having most
judiciously decided that the measure which is in-
tended to afford facilities to the proprietors of land in
Ireland for the improvement of their estates should be
considered at the same time with one giving the poverty
a right to relief out of the property of the country.
It is just that the one, which is universally received
as a great and valuable boon to the landlords, should
proceed pari passu with the other, which is viewed
with marked apprehension, and regarded as a means
by which they will be reduced to poverty and de-
prived of the greater portion of their resources.
They must, however, receive as well the bitter as the
sweet. We doubt not but that when time,
" the great discloser," shall have revealed the
secrets of futurity, it will be found how few of
the vaticinations and prophetic intimations of
coming ruin were justified by the results. The ques-
tion whether Ireland is to have a good and efficient
poor-law now rests with their Lordships. The re-
sponsibility is now cast upon them, and although we
cannot doubt the successful issue of the proceedings,
sufficient has taken place in the Upper House to indi-
cate that great exertions will be made to impair its
efficacy and to neutralize its advantages. The
battle of the landlords will be fought under
the banners of Lords STANLEY and 1110NT-
EAGLE, and powerful aid will be rendered to the
same side by the Archbishop of DUBLIN, a prelate
who is not usually to be found in the ranks of the
opponents of a liberal and enlightened policy, and
one so loudly demanded by every consideration of
Christian benevolence and genuine philanthropy.
The hostility of such persons cannot safely be
despised or slighted, and although the feeling that
has been manifested throughout the country in
general is such, that a direct refusal could nut be
given to the measure, yet amendments and alterations
may be introduced of the most injurious character.

These attempts must be watched with the utmost
vigilance, and the greatest caution must be exercised
in consenting to any change whatsoever. Already two
clauses of doubtful propriety have been introduced
avowedly for the benefit of the landowners. The
provision, that no person who shall be in possession
of any quantity of land exceeding a quarter
of an acre, can by any possibility, or under any
circumstances, be afforded relief; either in or out
of the workhouse, until he shall have absolutely
parted with his holding, is in every respect objec-
tionable. It may possibly, in some few instances,
deter such persons from seeking assistance, but in
many others it will greatly increase the sufferings
of those, who, by illness or some offer casualty,
have been driven to accept temporary aid, and make
them perpetual incumbrances on the rates, when a little
aid in the extremity of distress might have enabled
them to overcome their difficulties, and maintain their
independence. The clause, too, relating to the as-
sistance that may be rendered to the emigration of
any cottier tenant surrendering his boiling to his
landlord, is one flirt we fear may be carried to an
extent far beyond anything at present contemplated.
The system of emigration is one that is fondly re-
garded by a large class of landlords as a
panacea for the ills of Ireland ; there is
nothing that they will not gladly undertake to
forward their pet projects, and to drive the poorer
inhabitants into banishment from their native land.
They would gladly have the expenses of that which
they erroneously believe to be for their benefit de-
frayed from the national resources. They ask the
imposition of an income-tax, by which not only all the
property of every description in Ireland, but the skill
and labour of the professional man, and the enter-
prise of the merchant, should be taxed for their ex-
clusive advantage. They forget even the claims of
humanity in their zeal. They know not how, or by
pauper emigrant will be supported
which he may be consigned. Quod
iwnhatht
empelaanoes,
ttohe
volumus facile credimus, they desire to believe that
he will be able to earn a subsistence for himself, and
they easily persuade themselves that such will be the
case. The recent dispatch from the Governor of Nova
Scotia to the Colonial Secretary shows how futile
are the hopes held out in too many instances.
He emphatically warns the people against the delu-
sion ; he tells them " there is no demand for un-
skilled labour ;" and " that the means of remunerating
agricultural labour are greatly diminished ;" and
" that extreme misery and privation must necessarily
be the lot of any who should go to that colony in search
of any kind of employment without the means of self-
support for two years at least." These are
home truths, corning from a person whose
trustworthiness and means of information can-
not be impeached, and should induce great deli-
beration before any general system of emigration is
sanctioned. Lord MOSTEAGLE is avowedly the
strenuous and indefatigable advocate of that system,
and peculiar care must be taken that the principle is
not advanced or recognised by the Legislature in the
shape of some further extension of the twelfth section
of the new Aft.

Letters from Rome of the Bth inst. contain the
following :
" Petitiocs are daily received by the Government de-
manding the institution of a civic guard throughout the
Pontifical dominions, the re-organization of district and
provincial councils, and the appointment of a Consults,
or Council of State, composed of the notable inhabitants
of the provinces. The Pope and Cardinal Giszi are dis-
posed to grant those concessions, for the Roman states
want both administrative and political reforms, and those
required are certainly moderate. But the other Govern-
merits, and Austria in particular, are unfortunately op-
posed to the establishment (illiberal institutions in Cen-
tral Italy. The gratitude of the people to the Holy
Father has been of lute enhanced by an abundant distri-
bution of money from his own private chest to the indi-
;;.ent of Rome. He has even ordered that one-half of the
collections made in the churches for the souls in purga-
tory be divided amongst the poor. Pius IX. is accord-
ingly called uonio della curita ' (the charitable man).
A Committee was to be charged with the ro-organiz-t-
-tion of the army, of which Genenll Armandi, the 'Mi-
nister of War under the Government of Central Italy in
1831, is to form part. It is also believed that M. Orioli,
the Minister of Public Instruction at the same period,
would be appointed member of the Committee on educa-
tion. M. Silvani, the Minister of Justice, is one of the
lawyers attached to the Committee of Legislation; so
that three members of the insurrectionary Government
in 1831 have been chosen by Pius IX. to take part in
important labours. The Pope is to hold on the 10th a
Council, at which the expediency of instituting a Council
of Ministers will be discussed; and on Monday he will
preside at a consistory for the nomination of several
bishops. It is said that on this occasion Pius IX. will
nominate two French Cardinals, one of whom will be the
Archbishop of Cambria."

All diplomatic relations between Turkey and
Greece ceased on the 31st ult.

Madrid journals of the 12th and 13th inst. have
arrived.

The Afrancesado party are frantic, and in their un-
governable frenzy have endeavoured to remove all
obstacles to the succession of the Duchess of MONT-
pENsIER, by attempting to assassinate the QUEEN.
On Sunday her MAJESTY rode out in her phaeton as
usual, amf was received with loud cheers by the
people. In passing through the street of the Pla-
terias a shot was fired at the carriage, which
wounded a police officer. Several arrests of persons
,upposed to be concerned in this atrocious attempt
were made in the course of the evening. Among the
persons arrested were Senor FRANCISCO CHICO and
Senor AVIRANETA, late chiefs of the police
under the Afrancesado Ministry. An order has
since been issued by Senor Escosuaa, the Poiitical

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
It would appear from the statement of the Union
3fonarchique that N. GUIZOT is sorely puzzled by
the speech of the King of Pnussia. So accustomed
M. GUIZOT been to use language for the purpose
)f concealing his thoughts and intentions, that when
he meets with a straightforward man who uses
language for honest purposes, he cannot comprehend
him.

"Although," says the Union Monarchique,—

" The Friday's receptions at the Ai inistry ter Foreign
Affairs are in the eyes of the diplomatic world but
riendly and non-official meetings, still the representa-
ives of all the great and minor Northern Courts at-
:ended at M. Guizot's on Friday last. The cause of this
,_agerness was. as may be easily conceived, the desire to
liscover what effect had been produced in the higher
regions of Government by the speech of his Majesty
the King of Prussia, received in Paris that morn-
ing.
We are, however, assured, that notwith-
itanding dexterously combined eff,rts, the curiosity
of foreign diplomacy was not gratified, M. Guizot having
throughout the whole evening adhered to the following
evasive phrase, twisted and turned twenty different
ways:—' That it had been out of his power to torm a
correct opinion at the first view on the speech of his
Prussian Majesty, for he had only read a translation of
it into French, and that the French language was, he
thought, wholly inadequate to
givinr, the full sense of
the German language, especially where there were
poetical images and philosophical ideas. Was this said
by M. Guizot ironically or diplomatically? This ques-
tion no one ventured to decide." 1
A petition was presented to the Chamber of Depu-
, ties on Saturday praying that the decoration of the
Legion of Honour should bear the portrait of NAPO-
LEON, as it had done at its first institution, instead of
that of HENRY IV., which had been substituted for it
at the restoration; also that the name of Napoleon-
ville should be restored to the town which at the re-
storation was ordered to be called Bourbon Vendee ;
and also for the repeal of the law prohibiting the re-
turn of the Bonaparte family to France. The two
first prayers were ordered to be referred to the Pre-
sident of the Council ; the last, which was warmly
opposed by the Ministry, was rejected.
The prices in the Paris corn market still evince a
tendency to rise.
There was little done in the Funds in Paris on
Sunday. The Three per Cents. were nominally at
77f. 86c.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
4,000 bales, including 100 Pernam at Bd. ; 100 Egyp-
tian at 7 4d. to Sid. ; and 300 Surat at 4d. to sd. ; and
the rest American at 6d. to 7id. per lb. American
closed fully *d. per lb. lower than on Friday, but other
sorts were unchanged. In shares the business done was
limited, but the market was firmer.

There are no later ship arrivals to-day from any

We have before noticed the excellence of Mr. Gordon
Fyfe's plans for central sugar factories in our West
India colonies, and we have since had many other ad-
vocates of the same system, or modifications thereof,
appearing in the field. Some observations have been
forwarded to us upon this subject, and also upon Gcvern-
ment restrictions on the admission of sugar in a state of
syrup. and with suggestions for the improvement of manu-
facturing processes, Mr. Charles Jay, the writer, states,
that " One very serious objection urged against the se-
paration of the manufacture of sugar from the occupa-
tions of the planter is, that the manufacturing companies
would obtain a monopoly of the sugar manufacture.
This objection would be quite true, if the canes were to
be taken to one mill at the factory ; but if, according to
my plan, the crushing mills were upon the cane-lands,
with tramroads to the factory or shipping port, agree-
ment might be made with the company on such terms
that, at the end of a certain period, the crushing mills
and the use of the tramroads, should come so far into the
power of the planters as to enable them to secure them-
selves against monopoly. But further, if this did not
satisfy the planters they should stipulate that a cheap
and efficient apparatus for the concentration of syrup
should be annexed to each mill, and that, at the expira-
tion of the stipulated period, the mill, the concentrating
apparatus, and the use of the tramroad, should come
into their hands on fair terms, to be in the first instance
agreed upon. The concentrating apparatus would be very
simple, just sufficient to produce a marketable syrup."
The spirit of inquiry in connexion with West India
affairs has been so far aroused that some practical good
therefrom may be confidently predicted.
It is stated, in accounts from Berlin, that the Prussian
Government has positively declined to suspend the an-
nual assemblage of the troops and militia upon any con-
sideration. This is in answer to the application from
the magistrates owing to the scarcity of food.
The Money Market seems again to-day to be rather
easy, or at least the speculators represent it as being so.
We believe, however, that with the mercantile interest
affairs have not yet altered.
There have been further purchases of Consols to-day,
and money bargains have been done as high as 674
stock being temporarily scarce. For May the dealings
have been at 874 4. Consols Scrip is 2s. discount. It
is hinted that some assistance may be expected by the
Bank from the Emperor of Russia. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 81 to 884. Bank

STOCK OF SALT AT LISBON AND ST. ÜBES.
A dispatchlia.been receivedat Lloyd's from the office of the
Committee of Privy Council for Trade, dated Whitehall, April
19th, enclosing an extract of a letter from her Majesty's
Consul at Lisbon relative to the stock of salt at that port and
St. Übes. It appears that the stock of this article at the
latter port is diminishing very fast, there beieg barely
20,000 tons left atter loading fifty vessels that had entered
that port since the Ist inst.; whilst at Lisbon the stock was
reduced to 20,000 moyos, or 16,000 tons, and as there is a
'
large demand for it, especially for
France, it is apprehended
1
that the supply for exportation will be exhausted before the
new crops are ready, which they are not likely to be before
the beginning of next July.
