sion—their doom was fixed, the insignia of power
were already slipping through their fingers. On the
21st ultimo the popular candidate was elected Presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of
eighteen—ninety-three votes for BRAVO MURILLO,
one hundred and eleven for CASTRO Y OROZCO'
Could there be any more significant indication of the
disrelish of the national representatives fur the con-
tinued supremacy of ISTURITZ ? Could there be any
plainer condemnation of the policy sanctioned by
himself and his colleagues ? The Cortes have well
vindicated the dignity of their solemn office, so wan-
tonly insulted by the seizure and imprisonment of
the leader of the Opposition. OLOZAGA is no longer
unrevenged.

What may be the consequence to Spanish affairs
from this sudden termination of the career of the late
shameless Cabinet can as yet be scarcely conjectured.
The old clue has been broken in twain because it has
only served to conduct the nation deeper and deeper
into the labyrinth of troubles—the new clue has
yet to be discovered through the assistance of which
the mysteries of that labyrinth can be threaded, and
Spain be enabled to emerge again into freedom and
prosperity. There is already a confused mass of in-
telligence as to the nature and the constituent parts
of the succeeding Administration, but little reliance
can be placed upon the multitude of rumours gene-
rally
floating about during such moments of transi-
tion. Upon the discrimination of the SOVEREIGN in
the selection of her new advisers will depend the hap-
piness of her people, it may be, for many generations.
May wisdom guide ISABELLA. in that momentous
selection ! May this renovation and regrafting of
authority produce, not merely the blossoms of hope,
but the fruits of good government, of independence,
of social and commercial activity ! By the
latest information it would appear that the QUEEN
had empowered the Due DE SOTOMAYOR—one
of the leaders of the Moderado party—to form a
Cabinet. Some progress was immediately made to-
wards the distribution of the portfolios, but the en-
deavour was reported to have failed through the re-
fusal of MON to retain his position as the head of the
Finance Department. Whether these rumours be
correct, or the reverse, it is certain that considerable
difficulty will be found in grouping together a band
of competent and united statesmen. The fortunes of
Spain are dependent upon the accidental tempera-
ments of a few men. According as their tempera-
ments at the moment of application are lymphatic,
bilious, or sanguine, will the future condition of the
Peninsula be flourishing or unfortunate. At this
moment a precious opportunity is afforded for shaking
to pieces those moral trammels which extend
across the Pyrenees from the Tuileries to Ma-
drid. Latterly it has been our pleasant duty
to comment upon the signs of independence
which are being manifested in the royal couple
of Spain. We have recorded circumstances which
would imply that his Majesty the KING-CONSORT is
not altogether the cipher that had been conjectured,
and that ISABELLA herself was evincing her disincli-
nation to be the crowned vassal of either Louts PHI-
LIPPE or CHRISTINA. These indications of the rise of a
more honcurahle spirit in the Spanish Court were
visible even under the shadow of the Arrancesado
Cabinet; now that that shadow is removed let those
propitious indications Le realised, and Spain will re-
assert her old dignity and regain her old grandeur.

The good work goes bravely on. The English
people have nobly responded to the cry of distress
uttered by their suffering brethren of Ireland and of
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. They have
acted in a manner worthy of the British name, have
spared no exertions to relieve the wants of the desti-
tute and helpless in the famine-stricken districts.
Many associations have been formed for the same god-
like purpose. The end and object in every case is
the same—to provide food for the hungry and clothing
for those who have no means of protecting themselves
from the inclemency of the weather. Within three
short weeks about 130,0001. sterling has been col-
lected by voluntary subscriptions in this city alone,
and that exclusive of the large sums that have been
transmitted directly to the Central Relief Commitbee
in Dublin, or to the Highland Fund in Edinburgh, or
to local committees in Ireland or Scotland. The
British Association has already collected upwards of
90,000/., of which our Gracious QUEEN and tbe
members of the Royal Family have contributed no
less than 5,500/., while the Corporation of the City of
London generously voted a sum of 2,0001. from their
funds, a cheque for which was immediately sigrbed
and transmitted by the Lord Mayor, with the ex-
pression of a fervent hope that every corporation
throughout the kingdom would follow the example
thus afforded. The Society of Friends have collected
amongst themselves no less than 20,0001., and in-
telligent and benevolent members of their body have
travelled through the most impoverished districts, in
order that they might judge more correctly of the
most advantageous manner of distributing the it
bounty, and the relative wants and exigencies of the
several localities. Alas ! that one of their number,
who was ever foremost in acts of philanthropy and
charity, should have been cut off in the prime of life,
in the vigour of manly strength and intellect, fr am
the result of an accident that occurred to him vvlaile
engaged in the work of mercy, in carrying c on-
solation to the abodes of the afflicted. Upward. ; of
9,0001. has been collected through the Famine Re lief
Fund, and the Ladies' Relief Fund, under the
patronage of her Majesty the QUEEN. DOWAGER. and
the Duchess of KENT, has obtained most bena cial
aid, chiefly from the fairer portion of the commixt.ity.
But, magnificent as have been the fruits of these
several exertions, handsomely as the contributors
have come forward and afforded their spontaneom 3 as-
sistance in the cause of humanity, we look for SO me-
thing more—we desire that the fund may be a natzi .onal
one, that its collection may be general through= t the
entire country; that every one possessed of Da ?ans
should be stimulated to give to the best of his ability.
It is not merely the amount of the gift, but the s, pirit
in which it is tendered, that should be regal ded.
Many well-disposed and generous persons are deterred
from giving the pittance they can spare from their
own necessities, where it may appear contrasted'. with
the larger gifts of others. An opportunity of nta king
their offering a part of a general parochial coil ec tion,
will be ardently desired by such persons, wherte they
will have the satisfaction of thinking that they- have
taken a part in the good work, without cat aing
prominently forward. Few would withhold their
shillings or half-crowns if a collector came to, their
doors, who would scarcely think it worth wh to
transmit such small sums to a distance, and yet :'is; the
aggregate these shillings and half-crowns from the
million would amount to a larger sum than, the
hundreds or five hundreds of the wealthy and affia tent
few. These means will now be generally affo rt led.
Ile QUEEN'S letter has been issued, of which p üb-
lication will be made in every parish church throaa, gh-
out the kingdom on some Sunday in this or- the
ensuing month, and the officiating minister in e; ich
will be required by his diocesan effectually to e..ct
the parishioners to a liberal contribution, to be c ol-
lected the week following at their respective dwell i; tgs
by the churchwardens and overseers. Such a rajn s ive
has ever been eminently successful in procuring 1; is •ge
sums in aid of any object for which it has been isst n ;(I,
and never has there been one that possessed great ter
claims on the sympathies of every class. We can z of
doubt that it will be responded to in the manner! i

deserves, and that those who have been clothed Ea d
fed by English liberality in the season of their bititi r
affliction and sore extremity, may, on the return • of
more prosperous and happier times, feel deep; ly
grateful to their generous benefactors.
It is scarcely necessary to add a single word '
favour of a subscription which comes thus stron, v

recommended, and the imperative necessity for wh ici
is so frightfully apparent. In one district alone, that; ed

,en persons (six men and four women) on the 1 3t h

nstant, and the verdict in every instance was th e

now frequent and accustomed one—" Death fr ei n

starvation." Alas ! that so horrible an end should t

of constant recurrence in a Christian land, forming . a

portion of the wealthiest kingdom in the world. V 7; a

cannot, however, refraim from quoting shortly fr Dm
the charge of Mr. Sergeant HowLEr when opening
the Quarter-Sessions at Nenagh, on Friday, a gent le-
man whose authority will be universally admitted by
all parties, and who draws the following grap: bic
picture of the existing distress. He says—
" Writers of fiction have drawn the terrors, the deso-
lation,
the sufferings attendant on the plague of fort oer

times, but those pictures of the imagination, highly
coloured as they may be, do not equal those pictures of
real sufftring and misery which the chronicles of the
time daily present before us. Robust men, worn and
gaunt with famine ; weak women and helpless children
sinking down from want of food; famished human beings
uttering the cry of hunger until that cry is stopped by
death—even the decent forms of burial obliged to be
dispensed with, and the unshrouded victims consigned
uncoffined to the grave!"

This statement requires no comment or addition.

There is no race of people upon whom the lessons
of experience tell with greater effect than the Eng-
lish. Their wisdom is essentially practical. In the
earlier time of our history, when the lights of know-
ledge were not only exceedingly faint, but were
almost exclusively absorbed by the monastic classes,
freedom of action was necessarily limited, inas-
much as the national mind was enslaved by ignorance
and its degrading concomitants. This is the
real clue to the narrow basis upon which the
different institutions of the country were severally
erected. Again, the love of power and of ease, in-
herent in man, rendered those, in whose hands were
lodged the keys of civilisation, averse to the diffusion
amongst their benighted compatriots of those
elementary political truths, on the general and prac-
tical recognition of which binges the progress of
society ; and thus it happened that their own selfish
remissness always constituted a specious plea to the
ruling powers for not widening the foundations of
our political structure. However theoretically correct
might have been any scheme propounded for enlarg-
ing the rights and privileges of the people, the ready
answer of the monopolising dignitaries of learning,
who were of necessity the chief functionaries of the
kingdom, was, that the people were not sufficiently
prepared and enlightened to receive the boon, and
that, therefore, its concession would rather impair
than minister to the stability of the State. When,
however, despite of this perverse obstruction to
the general development of the mental faculties
of our remote ancestors, the rays of civilisation,
from a variety of causes-Lthe Crusades at one time,
the invention of printing at another, and so forth—
became stronger, and began to penetrate the notional
mind, our institutions were squared in accordance with
the fruits of knowledge and experience. Our
monarchs of old were, for the most part, the first to
perceive that they best consolidated their own power,
and most effectually checked a turbulent nobility,
when they conferred important franchises upon the
humbler classes of their subjects. By this judicious
policy an overbearing aristocracy was made to feel
the recoil of inordinate ambition and selfish tyranny.
Under these circumstances, popular affection, the only
legitimate source of all permanent rule, but which was
haughtily contemned by the nobility, centred in the
Crown. These natural reverses of power at length
taught the great feudal lords of England that their
influence could only be usefully and honourably
maintained by showing themselves to be provident of
the interests and comforts of the industrious
classes of the community ; and that when
men have matured their minds duly to ap-
preciate, and fitly to enjoy, augmented social privi-
leges, and political rights, it is neither becoming nor
safe to impede their acquisition. Whenever, in later
times, the aristocracy have turned a deaf ear to thi4
cumulative lesson of experience, the people have
invariably convinced them of the futility of their
restrictive endeavours They did this in 1829, in
1831, and again in 1846. By the moral force of
public opinion alone were the Relief Bill, the Reform
Bill, and the Cornßill wrung from a morose and reluc-
tant aristocracy. Bearing these reflections in mind, we
rejoice to observe that Alderman IlumraEsty on;Tues-
day induced the Court of Aldermen to pass a resolu-
tion, that a Bill be prepared by the. Remembrancer,
to be presented to Parliament, to extend the elective
franchise for the election of Aldermen and Common
Councilmen. It is satisfactory to find public bodies
voluntarily taking the initiative for their self-reforma-
tion. They thus secure the confidence of the public
and evince a wisdom competent to the efficient dis-
charge of the important functions with which
they have been invested from an ancient period.
Moreover, by acting in this spirit, they prevent the
occurrence of sudden and violent changes, which, in
long-established institutions, are ever to be depre-
cated, except in cases of extreme necessity. It is
quite preposterous that the custom which the leading
merchants of the city of London have long estab-
lished of residing in the suburbs, should have the
effect of debarring them of the franchise which
would give them a voice in the management
of the business, and in the election of the
authorities of the corporation. A nouvelles ajaires,

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 2181
instant.

On that day the Isturitz Ministry, having been de-
feated in the Chamber of Deputies by the rejection of
its candidate for the presidency of the Chamber, had
resigned, and the resignation was immediately accepted
by the Queen. The downfal of the Isturitz Ministry
had long been foreseen. Count BRESSON exerted him-
self to the utmost to obtain for them a
respite until after the debate on the Montpensier
marriage should have taken place, but so intense was
their unpopularity, that even that respite could not
be obtained. They had originally started Senor
CASTRO Y ORozco as their candidate for the presi-
dency, but he declared that, although he was a candidate,
he must decline being the candidate of the Ministry, as
he by no means wished to be considered as identified
with their policy. MARTINEZ DE LA RASA was asked to
become the Ministerial candidate, but refused, whereupon
Senor BRAVO MURILLO was started. General SAN
MIGUEL was the Progressista candidate. At the first
ballot neither candidate had an absolute majority, where-
upon General SAN MIGUEL resigned, and on the ballot
again taking place between CASTRO Y OROZCO and
BRAVO MURILLO the numbers were—
For Senor CASTRO Y OROZCO
For Senor BRAVO MURILLO 93
Majority against the Ministry - 18
After accepting the resignation of Senor ISTURITZ
and his colleagues, the QUEEN sent for the Duke of So-
'OMATOR (the Spanish Ambassador to this country, but
who is at present at Madrid), and commissioned him to
form a Ministry. The Duke offered the portfolio of the
Department of Justice to Senor BRAVO Muareeo, who
accepted it. lie then urged Senor Morr to
continue as Minister of Finance, but Senor MON
declined. The QUEEN subsequently sent for Senor
AroN, to endeavour to overcome his reluc-
tance, but with what success is not known.
ARTELA, SOTELLO, and General PAVIA are mentioned
as likely to form part of the new Ministry. The fall of
the Isturitz Ministry may be considered as the first
fruits of the reaction against the Afrancesado party,
which has set in since the publication of the correspond-
ence on the subject of the Spanish marriages.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The dispatch of Lord PALMERSTON of the 18th of
January, in answer to M. GUIZOT'S note of the 22d of
November, has produced a great sensation in Paris.
The Debuts, the Epoque, and the Constitutionnel pub-
lish it without comment. The Presse, true to the tactics
which have been practised by the French Minister and
his supporters throughout this affair, garbles the note.
It declines to publish the document, but institutes what
it calls an examination of its contents, such examination
being merely a reiteration of the oft-refuted assertion,
that England had proposed the Prince of COBURG as a
candidate for the hand of the QUEEN. The Presse con-
cludes the article by laying it down as an axiom of
I French policy--" No more concessions to England."
ThueoTthetrhrpouapgehrosut this affair in
commentonthseev:re conducttermso, f
M.
oizo but
not more severe than is fully justified by the occasion.
We
have always felt that when the high-minded and
chivalrous people of France should become acquainted
with the facts of the case, they would not be slow in
doing justice to all the parties concerned. In speaking
of this last note of Lord PALMERSTON'S, the National
says—

" This note appears to us stronger and more conclusive
than the rest. However, it would not appear to us just to
reproduce it, before knowing the answer given on the other
side. We are convinced that all
judgment on the ensemble
of these negotiations is necessarily erroneous, when the docu-
ments published on both sides have not been examined. M.
Guizot bad given himself an incontestable advantage by the
documents which he laid before the Chambers. He had
arranged them in such a manner as to demonstrate that
Lord Palmerston had been guilty of extreme bad faith ; but
the latter having insisted on the publication in full—first, of
Lord Aberdeen's dispatch to the bake de Sotomayor ; and,
secondly, of the instructions addressed to Mr. Bulwer, from
which M. Guizot had only given two phrases to suit his pur-
pose—it became evident to every one that the French Mi-
nister had knowingly concealed a part of the truth. We are
far from pretending that the English Minister was incapable
of doing the same. Therefore must we, in order to properly
judge of this matter, wait until each of them has published
all that he has to produce."

The Siecle, without at all abandoning its position that
:he Montpeusier marriage was a desirable alliance per

se, and no contravention of any treaty, is yet justly severe
on the conduct of M. Guizov IhoUL;halt the negotia-
tions. Speaking of the note of the 18th of January, the
Sieele says—
" Lord Palmerston returns again, and at great length, to his
interpretation of the Treaty of Utrecht, without rendering it
clearer or mere solid. He discusses, besides, the engagements
contracted at Eu in such a way as to prove how uncertain
and equivocal were these engagements, differently understood
on each side; and, consequently, as we have already re-
marked, how improper and perilous are diplomatic negotia-
tions thus taking place in royal ante-chambers, in place of be-
ing conducted between Governments by regular means. In
the last part of his dispatch, Lord Palmerston refers with
some vivacity to an observation of M. Guizot, complaining
that the English Minister had introduced into the discussion
a name which ought not to have been seen there.' Ile flings
back very decidedly on M. Guizot the reproach thus brought
against him, and proves by a series of quotations that it is
the latter who, on every occasion, brought the King's
name,' the King's rerson,' and the King's will,' into the
negotiation. At the present moment are not the Northern
Powers seen threatening our Government, if it does not ac-
cept in all humility their decisions against Poland, with the
revelation of matters that will compromise it? A moment
will come when the courtiers, who in international relations
as in internal affairs have disgracefully abandoned amongst
us constitutional principles, will be punished at the same time
for all their baseness."

The France puts the controversy as between Lord
PALMERSTON and M. GUIZOT on its proper footing:—
"If Lord Palmerston has spoken the truth, then
M. Guizot has spoken—quite the contrary." The France
adds—" The note of the Bth of January is by its
peremptory tone and its denegations a sad, a very sad docu-
ment for M. Guizot. It appears to us to be the completion
of the kind of cross action which the English Cabinet has
brought against that of the Tuileries, and in which it op-
poses charges of falsehood to accusations of breach of pro-
mise. It is no longer possible not to see what M. Guizot
has hitherto attempted to conceal, namely, the true source
from which proceeded the idea of a Coburg marriage."—The
France concludes by insinuating that the idea of the Coburg
marriage was put forth at Madrid with the connivance of
the French Government, in order that it might serve as a
pretext for the course it has adopted.
The Commerce says, in allusion to the assertion made
by M. GUIZOT, that he had informed the English Ca-
binet that in the event of a certain occurrence, he
should consider himself freed from the engagements of
Eu

" Lord Palmerston affirms that this memorandum, ad-
dressed to M. de Jarnac, was never communicated to the
Foreign-oilice, and was only produced after the event res-
pecting which it was understood to be a warning. Thus the
ally of France, that power to which M. Guizot had made so
many concessions when the national interests were in ques-
tion, received no notice when other interests were involved,
that it would be expected to act with us under pain of rup-
ture. It was preferred to owe to a shameful subterfuge, to
manoeuvres tainted with intrigue, a result which M. Guizot
did not dare to aim at openly ; and he has found in his
spirit of a rhetorician the secret of causing the France of
July to lose the most ancient of her alliances by the tricks
of his diplomacy."

The Debats says that the reply of M. GUIZOT to Lord
PALMERSTON'S last note was transmitted to London on
Monday, and that it will be placed on the table of the
Chamber of Deputies, together with Lord PALMER
STON'S note, before the debate on the Address, which is
fixed for Monday next.
Intelligence from Algiers of the 20th announces that
the French troops had had two sanguinary combats with
the Arabs, the one at Rangia, against a faction of the

Arabs who had been roused to hostility by Bou MAZA.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
There was no alteration in prices. Sales, 3,500 bales, of
which 500 bales were on speculation. American real sed
6%d. to 734 d., and Surat 4%d. to sd. per lb. Shares were
rather flat.
Later accounts have come to hand to-day from the
colony of Van Dieman's Land, viz., to Sept. 7,-1846. It is
singular that in some respects the position of the corn trade
there should so nearly resemble what it has been here of late.
The crops of Van Dieman's Land were plentiful, and those of
Australia, where pastoral pursuits are most attended to,
being always inadequate to meet the current consumption,
as a corollary, supplies are drawn from every available
souree. With abundant crops, however, the Van
Dieman's Land growers were striving to withhold their
grain and keep up the market, to such an extant, indeed,
that it was mooted as a serious question whether it would not
be desirable to bespeak supplies from America, even at 30s.
per quarter, the price in Hobart Town being already 70s.
People do not like the prospect of being reduced to " short
commons" without making timely preparations, and it was con•
tended that if the Hobart Town speculator would not let out
his grain;at a fair profit, he might soon find himself unable to
sell but at a loss. As fables often impress the youthful mind
more deeply with truths sought to be conveyed, possibly
tke " regrator" in the mother country may recognise the
faithfulness of this colonial portrait, and apply the " moral"
to himself.
The weather in Van Dieman's Land has been showery
and seasonable, and very favourable for the sowing of
maize. The Dundee Merchant, a whaler, owned by Mr. C.
Seal, of Hobart Town, and having 150 barrels of oil on
board, had been lost, about 120 miles north-west of New
Caledonia.
There has been more quietude, a sort of lull in the
Money Market, becans e of the impression that some further
difficulties may arise among the houses which have depended
too much on discount accommodation to prosecute their
corn speculations; and, although no further immediate ad-
vance is expected in the charge for accommodation at the
Bank of England, many conceive that the course of the
foreign exchanges will, before many weeks, induce a fur-
ther rise. So many events may "come off"" before then,
that this must of necessity be a matter of opinion based upon
existing circumstances, and with the proviso that they all
remain as at present. It deserves at least to be noted, that
even now corn is not dear to an extent that would at all indi-
cate famine, or even scarcity; and that the Times has taken
no accountin its recent lucubrations of the important facili-
ties which we now possess for importing food, cotton, &c., at
greatly reduced rates. In the year 1842 the price of corn was
as high as at present, and the stock of bullion in the Bank of
England was exceedingly low compared with the present
time, so that we may at least feel re-assured on these points,
admitting that the Bank is yet drained of three or four mil-
lions. The necessity of caution no one can deny, however,
because when the Bank loses its coin, other people must,
under the present system, be made to feel some of the effect.
The Funds have become very dull, but are at about yes-
terday's value. There is scarcely any speculation, and
Consols for Account have remained at 91% buyers, while
the Money transactions have been at 91 to %. Bank Stock
has been again 203% to 2041,%. The New Three -and-a-
Quarter Cents. have realised 93 to %, and the Three per
Cents. 91% to 1,4. Exchequer bills have been quoted 4s. to
Bs. premium.
The Foreign Bonds have been almost nominal. The half-
monthly settlement takes place to. morrow. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been marked 241/s to %, and Mexican Bonds
22% to 22%. Dutch Four per Cents. were worth 91% 3/4.
As a whole, the Share Market has been firm to day, but
there is very little doing beyond the arrangement for the
settlement to-morrow.—Birmingham and Oxford Junction
have been 9 to 9% premium; Caledonian 33/4 discount;
Eastern Counties, 1% to 21/8 premium ; Great Western, 40
