would, without doubt, have chose..' . another theatre for
, the publicity and magnificence of his fetes. Bona-
parte made of Vincennes a prison ; this was logical;
he would never have made it a place for dancing and
banquetting."
The writer might have added, that but for the
death of the Duc D'ENGHIEN, the son of Louts
PHILIPPS would never have shared with SOPHY
DAWES the rich inheritance of the father of the un-
fortunate Due D'L' NGHIEN—the still more unfortu-
nate Duc DE BOURBON—the last of the CONDE&
The Duke DE MONTEBELLO, Minister of Marine
and Colonies, is attacked with an indisposition which,
without obliging him to keep his bed, is still suffi -
ciently serious to prevent him from taking part in
the debates of the Chamber.
The trial of General CUBIERES and his co-accused
commenced on Wednesday.
On Wednesday the Chancellor, on the demand of
the Procureur-General, issued against M. PELLAPRA
a warrant of arrest. This act is the commencement
of the proceedings to be instituted against the accused
by default.
The Constitutionnel says—" It appears that, after
having made his preparations for departure during
the day, M. PELLAPRA left Paris in the evening, at
the very moment at which all the solicitude of the
police was directed to the ball at the Minimes. M.
PELLAPRA, it is said, addressed a letter to his advo-
cates, M. CHAIX-D'EST-ANGE and M. GAUTSSIER, in
which he declared that his great age and state of
health would not permit him to undergo the sittings
of the court. This letter was immediately sent to
the Chancellor."
At twelve o'clock on Wednesday the ceremony of
presenting cardinal's hats to the Archbishops of
CAMBRAI and BOURGEC, who were recently raised
to that dignity, took place at the Tuileries.
Accounts have been received from the island of
Bourbon, which stated that new attempts had been
made at Madagascar to renew commercial relations
with Tamatave, but the Hovas persisted in excluding
from the country all foreigners, without distinction.
The English brig Arzac, after having passed a month
at Tamatave in making solicitations, had obtainedlper-
mission to disembark part of its cargo, on condition
that it would take nothing from Madagascar. The
concession subsequently appeared dangerous to the
Government, and after the departure of the Arzac it
interdicted all kinds of intercourse under penalties so
severe that the packet-boat Bordelais, which arrived
at Tamatave in January last, could not even succeed
in disembarking a little box of medicines. The po-
pulations are represented to be afflicted at being thus
deprived of the resources of European commerce.
The village formerly occupied by the Euro-
peans at Tamatave has been burned down, with
the exception of the house of a Frenchman, on which
a trio-colour flog had been placed. On several points
of the coast fortifications have been established.
RADZACFIDY, formerly Governor of Tamatave, re-
mained in prison under the sentence which con-
demned hint to death, for having disobeyed the orders
of the QUEEN, but it was believed that he would con-
trive to escape.
The price of corn and flour in the Paris market
continues to decline. The holders find it difficult to
procure purchasers for any but the best quality, and
then only at very reduced prices.
Although foreseen, the actual application by Go-
vernment for authority to contract a loan, caused a
very considerable depreciation of prices on the Paris
Bourse on Thursday.

Thursday at 77f. 65c. , the Five per Cents. at 118 f. 30c. ;

malignities showered upon a great statesman, how
deliberate were the accusations brought against the
Champion of Commercial Emancipation, how the
orations of certain Honourable Members were
flavoured with the tartness of sarcastic vituperation.
The Parliamentary session of 1847 promises to end
in a somewhat similar manner, but without the re-
deeming audacity of Lord GEORGE BENTINCH, or the
brilliant sparkle of the wit of the Honourable Mem-
ber for Shrewsbury. Sir ROBERT PEEL was the
popinjay at which the arrow of almost every satirical
rhetorician in the House of Commons was levelled in
1846. Mr. JOSEPH HUME is the target for the
hitherto suppressed personalities of 1847. On the
former occasion the attacks were as ephemeral in
their influence as the breath that blurs a mirror
for an instant and then evaporates, or as the
pressure of a footstep on the moss that
flings off every impress with its elasticity. At the
present time the assailants appear to have as little
chance of producing effect either upon the object of
their defamation, or upon the popular judgment.
With all his Parliamentary peccadilloes, with all his
political sins of commission and omission—and what
senator of thirty or forty years' standing is without
them ?—the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Mon-
trose has acquired for himself the respect of a very
large portion of the community. In the very ble-
mishes of Mr. HUME'S career there are the
palliatives of honesty and plain-speaking. By
his pertinacious adherence to the cause of free
trade—literally through good report and evil
report—he showed that, notwithstanding the pervad-
ing parsimony of his creed of political economy, there
was wisdom at the bottom of it. Troublesome as he
has proved at times in regard to the stinting of the
national expenditure, there has been, nevertheless, a
homely and practical patriotism in the manner in
i which Mr. HuME has for years endeavoured to re-
' vent the possibility of lavish disbursements from the

dishonest plunderers would be punished as they de-,
served, the merely cal eless or negligent wou'.d receive
an impressive admoriition as to the necessity for
greater care and diligence on future occasions; while
the British public would henceforward be assured of
a fathful administration of the national resources,
and the due application of their bounty to the objects
contemplated, and for whose relief and benefit it was
originally granted.

The Swiss Federal Diet was opened at Berne on
the sth inst. by Colonel ULiticu OCHSENBEIN, the
President of that Assembly, who commenced his
speech by congratulating the members of the Diet on
their fraternal meeting, and told them that never was
a meeting held which commanded such general
attention.
" Confederates," added the President, " we wish to
regard the present situation of affairs with firmness and
without alarm. The questions we have to consider
regard the most important rights of humanity and
the conditions indispensable to a free, moral, and
intellectual existence—a choice between progress and
Vie status quo—and, consequently, the issue of a
contest which is as ancient as the history of man—
which has sometimes appeared under one form and
sometimes under another, but has never shaken
the foundation of intellectual Europe so much as at pre-
sent. It is true that the momentary results and the
course of that painful contest are most various. Never-
theless, we cannot doubt that the tendency to progress
is general. Whilst Poland still bleeds, whilst recently
the significant dellruction of the independence of a sister
of Helvetia—of the republic of Cracow—has taken place,
against the law of nations and in contempt of the civilised
world, and whilst on the banks of the Tagus the inde
pendence of a nation has been trampled under foot, we
see on the Scheldt and on the Isar facts which hitherto
were considered as impossibilities. In this category we
must place the essential consolidation of constitutional
principles in the north of Germany—a star a long time
since announced and promised, but which has disap-
peared." The President next alluded to the political con-
stitution of the cantons, which, founded on the principle of
the sovereignty of the people, has secured the happiness of
all separately t but he observed that the cantons required
to be united by a new pact, which, by maintaining as
much as possible the independence of each, should create
a general confederation, affording the best guarantee for
their national independence. The President concludes
by observing that, "If—what appears to be improbable
—a foreign intervention should take place in the internal
affairs of the confederation, the world shall know that
Switzerland—strong in her right, great by the sympathy
entertained for her by all free nations, and by all which
expect to become free—will sacrifice the last drop of her
blood to maintain the independence achieved by her
fathers in so many sanguinary battles, and to transmit
that most precious of all blessings intact, as she received
it, and in ail its integrity, as a sacred legacy to her chil
Oren. May God preserve the mother country ! I de-
clare the Diet for the year 1847 to be opened, and I in-
vite you, dear confiderates, to renew the federal oath
after the custom of our fathers."

Treasury.
Against the broad front of the Honourable Member
for Montrose the bullets of abuse are harmless, the
javelins of invective are innocuous—the bullets are
flattened, the javelins blunted. Mr. SPOONER had as
lief sally out to hunt the rhinoceros with a
toasting fork as attempt to crush the re-
putation of Mr. HuME with such flimsy pro-
jectiles as a remembered fragment of small talk,
and a blue book tarnished with the cobwebs of
twenty-four months. The sympathies of the House
have very seldom gone with the Hon. Gentleman the
Member for Montrose, for seeing that his themes have
generally been based upon COCKER, and considering
that his most appropriate crest would certainly he a
save-all, Mr. HuME scarcely strikes one on the long
run as being the sort of man to sympathise with.
Often as the House of Commons has had occasion to
coincide with him, the Members of that Honourable
House have scarcely ever had occasion to be moved
in sentiment or emotion with him. On Friday,
however, the sympathies of the large majority of the
House of Commons were with Mr. HuME. The ridicule
with which that old servant of the people was treated
was felt to be unmerited and ungraceful. Indeed the
pain with which Mr. HuME must have listened to the
attacks directed against himself personally must
have been immeasurably more than compensated
by the hearty cheers with which his vindication by
Mr. AGLIONEY was received. Upon those sponta-
neous acclamations the Hon. Member for Montrose
deserves congratulation. Threatened with branding,
as it were, they virtually crowned him with laurel.
So much for the idle personalities which are
beginning to indicate the proximate dissolution of
Parliament. The actual business of the session has
been either terminated or put aside for " a better
opportunity ;" a little pleasantry and practical joking
is, therefore, considered allowable, even though it
merge into a sort of moral Donnybrook, where the
bludgeons of ridicule are " laid about " somewhat
indiscriminately, and characters, instead of skulls,
are threatened with destruction.

Madrid papers of the 3d instant have been received.
According to the Faro, Queen CHRISTINA has
written long letters both to the KING and the QUEEN.
The Correo denounces all the parties concerned
in bringing about the marriage of the QUEEN-a
marriage which was effected in direct oppusition to
the wishes of her MAJESTY, who was forced to marry
her cousin.
The departure of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA for
San Sebastian has been delayed for a few days.
Carlist bands have appeared in Toledo, La Mancha,
and Tarragona. The Political Chief of the latter
province has been placed under arrest for not acting
with sufficient energy against the insurgents.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The escape of M. PELLAPRA, and the seizure of
La Presse, are the subjects of comment in all of them,
and the wily intriguers of the Tuileries are but too
glad that these subjects occupy the attention of the
gobe-mouch,Ps of Paris, and of foreigners also, while
they pursue uninterruptedly their plots for securing
to the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER speedy possession

of the Spanish throne. It would almost appear as if
the squabble between M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN and
the Ministry was a "cross" got up after the approved
" swell mob " fashion to enable their confederates to

THE EARL OF HARDWICKE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR, I must correct a statement in your leading
article of this day, wherein you assert, on the alleged
authority of the naval historian James, that the Earl of
Hardwicke was one of two out of thirteen midshipmen
missing in the same berth, on board the Leander at
Algiers, who escaped being killed or severely wounded.
Now the fact is that his Lordship did not belong to the
Leander at the time of the memorable battle alluded to,
but to Lord Exmouth's flag-ship the Queen Charlotte.
He commanded a gun-boat, which he gallantly placed in
an exposed situation, nearly under the bows of the
Leander, where he did good service ; but was only
removed into the Leander after her return to England,
and in her he proceeded to the Halifax station. I was
second lieutenant of the Leander during the battle and
for about a year afterwards, and can therefore vouch for
WALKER, these facts as courEreNctß.--ylam (A) Lieut. 8.N., Sir, &c.,

The Third Report of the Irish Relief Commis-
sioners on Friday again occupied the attention of both
Houses of Parliament. In the Lords the Earl of
RODEN moved "That copies of all informations con-
, erected with these transactions which have been made
to the Commissioners, together with the names of the
chairmen of committees and justices of the peace re-
ferred to in the report, should be laid on the table,"
while in the Commons the Honourable Member for
Mallow returned to the charge with a vigour and
perseverance deserving of a more successful result, and
demanded " That so much of the correspondence, with
the names, rank, and residence of the parties referred
to, as sustains the statement condemnatory of the

pursue their schemes of plunder without
interruption. We yesterday stated that CHRIS..
TINA and NARYAEZ were reconciled. Senor
SARAGOSSA has joined them in Paris, his object
being to persuade NARYAEZ to return to Madrid, to
put himself at the head of the Government, to depose
the QUEEN, and to proclaim the accession of the
Duchess DE MONTPENSIER. This scheme was, how-

ever, judged to be too rash for immediate execution,
and has consequently been suspended until the pear
shall ripen. In the meantime every method is put in
practice to make the Duc DE MoNTPENSIER popular
with the army. No expense is spared for this pur-
pose, and Vincennes is what Versailles was in the
days of Louis XIV. It would be a curious instance
of retributive justice if the very means which are
taken to secure for the Due DE MONTPENSIER a
throne to which he has no right should, by their re-

action, produce a directly contrary effect, if the plotters
of mischief in Spain should find their cunning plots
recoil upon themselves—if " the Engineer should
hoist with his own petard :" that such a consumma-
tion is not impossible let the following article from
the Courrier Francais attest. After describing the
last fete at Vincennes, it thus proceeds—

Total
The following table will show the quanta]
consumption or declared in transit from the
to sth July :

" We had resolved, from shame and pity, to remain
silent upon the subject of this fi:e given so mal.l-
- when the public mind was absorbed with sinis-
ter apprehensions. But the courtiers have spoken, and
it is impossible for us nut to protest, in the name of the
respect that we feel for the dynasty, against ti,eir dan-
gerous adulations. Did not these persons comprehend
the cries and bootiegs with which the populace of the
fauboargs saluted the brilliant equipages as they passed
along towards Vincennes ? To whom, then, were ad-
dressed these exclamations which publicly rendered so
many honourable persons participators with some un
worthy beings admitted to these galas : Down with
the aristocrats ! Down with the robbers !' What con •
fusion of brain could have made these courtiers advise
the Duke de Montpensier to give a 11,e at this moment,
when the grand monde, the only class invited to it, are
compromised by so many scandalous acts, and are seek-
ing shelter in flight and exile from the Court of Assizes
or Court of Pe. rs ? 111-judging men describe to us this
luxurious feast as full of splendour and magnificence, at
which the Garde-Meuble of the Crown dieplayeed all its
resources; at which.lin the bowers and on the esplanades,
artificial bouquets of light were used to illuminate bou-
quets of natural flowers—this fe..e, for which the King
had given to his son an unbounded liberty to draw sup-
plies from the rich parterres of Versailles and Saint
Cloud. But did not these ill-advised chroniclers, these
historiographers of Trianon, fear that the people should
reckon up what a fete so brilliant mus t have cost. It
would be ascertained that the expenditure was greater
than all the one hundred and odd thousand francs which
the Royal Family have distributed towards the relief of
the public misery. What, in the name of heaven. was
the object of this fate ? Alas ! you have told us ! you
flatter the army, but you leave the discontented people
crying at the gate! Where was the need of this ;e.e,in
which you travestied our soldiers into chamberlains of
the palace? Was not the fancy camp at Compi‘gne suf-
ficient for you, assembled as it is in spite of the engage-
ments entered into by the Minister of War with the
Chambers? Was it not a great honour paid by you to
Messieurs de I'Artillerie, to confine their functions for
that evening to presenting nosegays to the ladies as they
arrived!—Oh, let us perfume ourselves with essence of
benzoin and bergamot I Let us sprinkle our shirt
frills of Mecklin-lace with Spanish snuff ! Par la Sam-
bleu 1 there is nothing better to be done in these times !
Behold those girandolas filled with wax lights, those
downy sophas, those garlands of foliage interwoven into
cyphers, that profusion of flowers, those innumerable
cases of odoriferous shrubs, those Chinese and Venetian
illuminations, those festoons, those astragals those
panoplies of every epoch arranged for the embellishment
of this showy fete, and amidst all this magnifi-
cence, those voluptuous smiles gliding with their sisters
the graces among those mysterious glades. To tell you
that this fate continued from the evening until the morn-
ing would not be assez Regence. The Marquis de Vin-
cennes tell us—' The sun gilded the last waltz with his
rays as he had saluted the first corare-danse with his
last smiles.' Could the Chevalier de Bouffiers' or M.
Jean Vatout himself, have better expressed it? And
then how you enumerate all the illustrious personages
and celebrated beauties who were saluted by the last
smile of the setting sun, and emblazoned by the first
rays of his rising. ' Qui nommer,' exclaims the en-

The Union Monarchique, in chronicling the say-

It may be noted that the Bank has bad an increased

the transfer books, for discount accommodation and
short loans on stock, &c., while the official payments
have begun to tell upon the public deposits. The secu-
rities will afford an index to the increased business of
the Bank, as well as the greater amount of notes em-
ployed.
The slight advance in the Corn Market yesterday.
added to the French loan, have had some effect upon
the Money Market, although there is, perhaps, not any
particular cause for apprehension. The exchanges upon
the Continental cities are certainly declining, but as
yet the specie going out ik nearly counterbalanced by
the imports from South America and other quarters,
and it is still a matter of doubt whether a large amount
will be required for the United States. At Hamburgh,
last Tuesday, the rate of exchange on London was
13.51, and the price of gold 432.
As to the probable supplies of grain, weThave to-day
renewed assurances from St. Petersburgh of the ability
to let us have all we require. Indeed there is a present
supply of 2,700 000 tschetworts unordered and available
for foreign wants.

The effect of the prohibition to pay interest on calls
has already appeared in an announcement from the Cale-
donian Company, of their intention not to pay the 4i
per cent. which their shareholders have been calculating
upon since October last. The Government resolutions
will also afford that company, and, no doubt, many
others, the opportunity of getting quit of altering recent
obligations, seeing it is now compulsory that no amalga-
mation of leasing can take place until one of the parties
to it is completed and opened for traffic. Scottish Cen-
tral holders would do well to look to their own interests
at the special meeting on the 20th current.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.
Ss mptoms of the conclusion of the session and of the
Parliament continue to increase and multiply. It is now
evident to the most casual observer that the days of the
Parliament of 1841 are numbered. Even if the Govern-
ment were desirous of prolonging the session, it appears
to be quite evident that all their powers would enable
them to do so much longer. But in reality they are not.
They are naturally most desirous to bring to a con-
clusion a session from which no further practical results
can be expected, and they are no less anxious to shorten
the excitement and the distraction of time from useful
and necessary occupations, which are engendered and
kept up by the now known and ascertained approach
of a speedy dissolution. Government was—and is
' —most anxious to bring the session to an end as
soon after the 15th instant (Thursday next)
as possible, in order to get over the elections,
completely before the harvest operations shall have begun.
To this end the House of Commons has sat in the morn-
ing as well as in the evening, almost every day for the
last fortnight. To this end, also, Ministers have con-
sented to abandon, or rather to postpone, every measure
that was not in their opinion one of paramount, or of
pressing, emergency. To this catalogue of useful mea-
sures —postponed from necessity—we are sorry to be
obliged to add the Bill for the Improvement of the
Health of Towns, which we regard as a most useful and
necessary improvement, and which we know the Govern-
ment were most desirous to pass into a law, in spite of
the imperfections to which it was necessarily subjected
by the fact s f its being an attempt at legislation in
a new channel, as by the activity of the fac-
tious and interested opposition to which it was
subjected from first to last. Whatever may have been
the reluctance of a dying Parliament to deal with such
an unprincipled and unscrupulous opposition, we feel that
a new House of Commons and one leis apprehensive of
the hostility of local interests and of vested abuses, will
be able to second the efforts of the Government in car-
rying out a generzil and well considered, and a perfectly
matured system of sanatory reform. Whilst we express
tins hope, we confess that we are not without some feel-
ings of disappointment that a beginning has riot been
made—a commencement in the right direction, which we
know that the ministry of Lord John Russell were most
anxious to effect,
The mere routine business of winding up the session
will occupy the coming week—after which the proroga-
tion, follov.( d by an immediate dissolution, may be con-
fidently looked for.—Observer.

Ma. ROEBUCK.—It was stated in the Morning
Chronicle of Saturday that in the event of Sir D.
Pollock retiring from the Chief Justiceship of Bom-
bay, Mr. Roebuck, M.P. will succeed him. We are
authorizd to state that Mr. Roebuck will not accept
any appointment which will require him to retire
from the House of Commons.
