the Quarterly Review, but.we shall be very much
surprised if the town population, by supporting the
Tories, should encourage and enable them to
carry their schemes of rasing our towns into
execution.

The character of the opposition to Alderman
HARMER is no longer doubtful. The active sup-
porters of it are the Exeter Hall fanatics. It is
another branch of the crusade against liberty
and truth, which the bigots have got up,
in order to keep their chains on the
minds and the hearts of men. According to
the Times, some fools of Dissenters, and some
rogues of Whigs, support the fanatics. Miserable
mistaken men I they are preparing a rod for their
which the High Churchmen and
thrust into power by their means,
,vn
Tories,
wnilldeenrs ;
will lay on unsparingly. That will be their punish-
ment ; but it is the duty of the Livery not to allow
the liberties of the people to be sacrificed, in order
to punish fools and rogues.

Madrid Papers, of the 25th ult., have arrived.
The capital was perfectly tranquil. No other news
of interest.

The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been
received. The trial of Prince Lours NAPOLEON
was proceeding without exciting, any very, extraor-
dinary excitement in the public mind. The de-
fence of the prisoners commenced on Wednesday,
when M. BERRYER delivered one of the finest
speeches in favour of the deluded Prince ever heard
in a French Court of Justice. In the examination
of some witnesses relative to the heroic part played
by those National Guards of 'Boulogne who fired
upon drowning men, without a possibility of de-
' fending themselves, the President, Baron PAS.
QUIER, suffered some observations to escape him
which have justly provoked the severe censure of
the French Press, Republican and Royalist. The
conduct of the National Guards was as cowardly
as cruel, and it was base in a Peer of France, sit-
ting as a judge, to attempt to defend, much less jus-
tify it, as Baron PASQUIEIt endeavoured to do. The
French are as brave a people as ever lived, and
therefore nothing can be more natural than that
they should regard with detestation the cowardly
act of discharging muskets, by men wearing, or
rather disgracing, the uniform of the National
Guards, on a few brave fellows swimming for their
lives within a few yards of them.

On the Cabinet Council held in London on
Monday last, we find the following remarks in the
Capitole of Wednesday, purporting to be written
the previous evening

For the last two days the political world has been
much interested in the Council extraordinary which was
to be held in London. It was known in a vague men-
der that all the members of the British Cabinet would
come to a decisive resolution on the Eastern question.
This Council has been held, and its results were known
iu Paris at half-past two on Tuesday. Little has
transpired concerning the contents of these important
dispatches. Nevertheless rumours were spread, and
caused a very strong reaction ou the Exchange. Be-
fore making known the information which we have de-
rived from, we believe, a very good source, we ought to
say a word on the facts anterior to the meeting of the
British Council. It will be recollected that the voy-
age of M. Walewski to Alexandria, had for its object
to induce Mehemet Ali to make some concessions to
the Porte. The Viceroy made them, and M. Wa-
leviski set off immediately for .Constantinople, in order
to prepare the Divan to• accept them. The Divan
showed itself inclined to conciliation, and relied on the
good offices of France for definitively concluding its ar-
rangement with -Mehemet Ali. These inclinations of
the Porte being well known both at London and Paris,
Lord Palmerston requested the French Cabinet to draw
up in writing its definitive resolution upon this new phase
of the Eat-tern question. M. Thiess, who had. been
duped so many times already, was apprehensive of being
so again, and be begged the English Ministry itself to
declare its final intentions. Lord Palmerston not dar-
ing, es he said, to adopt animportant detesroination
without consulting his colleagues, promised to 'convoke
gnem-si- mcratt

held, and we have every ground to believe that the reto.
lutions adopted at it were, Ist, that the propositions o
Mehemet Ali should be rejected ; 2dly, that the execu.
tion of the treaty should be carried out to its full ex.
tent ; and, 3My, that Admiral Stoprord should be te•

priinanded lOr having shown weakness in the execution
of the coercive measures.

The Gazette de France, the legitimist organ, has
the subjoined article on the question of naval pre-
parations now on foot in both countries :

It seems that those are under a great mistake who
represent us as able to contend at sea with England.
They cannot speak so except on false data. All the
navies in the world united together would not now be
sufficient to dispossess England of the empire of the
seas. It has more men of war that can be fitted out
than all the other Powers ; it is the only one which in
consequence of the innumerable quantity of its mer-
chantmen, is able to collect almost instantaneously the
number of experienced seamen necessary for its immense
armaments. It is the only Power which has Admirals,
Captains, Etc., sufficiently skilful, sufficiently
guarantee the repetition of the unparalled successes
which it has obtained in all the naval engagements since
1789. convinced
of their superiority to all the navies of the world, to

Prudence would require that, in case of war with
Eogland,France should collect in two of its principal ports,
one on the ocean, the other in the Mediterranean, a
strong squadron. From these two points it might
threaten, watch and sometimes embarrass the maritime
operations of its rival, and cover every sea with its
light vessels and privateers to harrass and ruin every-
where, and as far as it could, the commerce of England.
To make a parade with squadrons, and to fight naval
battles, would be to prepare the renewal of the dis•
asters of Aboukir and Trafalgar ; to cause for the
second time the annihilation of our navy.
Well ! what does M. 'Tiers think of his dear
Spanish revolution, now that it cries Death to the
French, and that Espartero threatens to pass the Py-
renees, and recover Rouslillon.

Another Cabinet Council will be held to-morrow,
we believe, to determine the prorogation of Parliament,
and we understand it will then be prorogued till No-
vember 16.

'rhe speech of Lord Ebrington at the inauguration of
fie Dublin Magistrates will, we trust, put an end to the
absurd charge ot the Orange press that his Lordship is a
Repealer. It will also (now that the party have quarrelled
with a certain Learned Gentlemen) convince them that
the Recorder of Dublin might be better employed in deli-
vering gaols than delivering speeches in the House of
Commons, and that the system which they so long
encouraged and supported m'eut be improved by reform.
We have no occasion to advert farther to the remarks
made by his Lordship than to state that they exhibit
the same sound judgment, good sense, and liberal prin-
ciples which have ever distinguished Lord Ebrington's
public and private conduct.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Thcrehave been moderate arrivals of Grain both English
and Foreign, this week. So very few buyers attended the
market, that scarcely any sales could be effected of either
Wheat or Oats ; the former was 2s. and the latter Is
per quarter lower than on Monday. In other Grain no
variation. Flour met a dull demand. The London ave-
rages arc now of no consequence.
