one," he unquestionably comprises in his own proper
person all the invidious characteristics of the three
Parcm. As far as the Peninsula is concerned, the
French KING holds at once the spindle, the wheel, and
the shears. lie 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
offs

.spring 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-
TERO 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 chivalrous
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-chevaliers 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 PACKECO
and his colleagues.

It is a lamentable fact that, for the most part, the
occupants of the magisterial bench seem to be
IA holly insensible to the serious responsibility attached
to the functions which they have to discharge. The
responsibility can scarcely be said to be of a personal
character, for, except in cases where wilful malice
can be substantiated, the law effectually screens the
magistrate from suffering, either in his person or
pocket, for any consequences, however injurious, that
may have resulted to an accused party, from the
inadequate performance of his judicial functions.
But, notwithstanding that their personal responsibility,
for the reason stated, is practically next to nothing,
they still lie under a very heavy moral responsibility
to the public, proportionate to the extensive powers
with which the law has clothed their office. It
grieves us to repeat that there is a wide-spread in-
difference to the strength of this public obligation, as
evidenced by the repeated blunders and serious errors
into which the magisterial body are constantly fall-
ing ; and even where this feeling of indifference
does not exist, on account of the lax
manner in which the corps of justices is organized,
the public suffer just as much in another
ignorance
and as though it did, owing to the gross
and incompetency of a large proportion of those who
are placed in the commission of the peace. Neither
can we expect to rid ourselves of these objectionable
blots, which affect the administration of j ustice in the
hands of the minor functionaries of the law, until the
system by which they obtain their authority be en-
tirely revised. It is notorious that the magisterial
bench is filled by men whose qualifications for the dig-
nity have been inconsiderately measured, not by their
intellectual capacity, but by their personal influence, as
connected with property. If a person resident in a
county is desirous of elevating his social position
among his neighbours, he frequently induces his
tenantry to vote for the political party, from whom
the aim of his ambition is not kept a secret, and
through whom, by a seasonable hint to the Lord-
Lieutenant, he is in due, time raised to the bench.
In this way individual vanity is gratified, the re-
quirements of the public, that the magistrates should
be selected from men of intelligence, and somewhat
versed in the laws of their country, being almost
altogether unheeded. Considering, however, the
hap-hazard mode, and the heterogeneous materials
out of which the justices of peace are constituted, it
is matter of wonder that the administration of the
law is so well conducted as it is ; and, at all
times, it is far more gratifying to admire than to
criticise and reprehend the manner in which the
servants of the Crown, in their several departments,
perform their duties to the State. The admirable
efficiency that ordinarily stamps: the judicial conduct of
the successive Chief Magistrates of the city of London is
deserving of the highest eulogy ; and we always feel
chagrined when anything occurs calculated to de-
tract from the efficacy of their example.
A man, who called himself JOHN BALER, was
charged before the LORD MAYOR on Saturday with
having shouted out, " There goes a Bobby !"
whilst two of the City police were following two
thieves. The latter took the hint and made off. The
police, considering this exclamation an interference
with their duty, inquired of BAKER what he meant
by it, and ultima`ely took him into custody. This
was an unjustifiable act. A man is not to be de-
prived of his liberty because he happens to exercise
his lungs and voice in the manner above-mentioned,
and because others choose to presume it was done
for a sinister object. Such a proceeding constitutes
a dangerous precedent where the liberty of the sub-
ject is concerned, and alarms people as to the extent
to which the police may, even for the most trivial
circumstance, be inclined to stretch their authority ;
and it is no justification of such a step to allege, or
prove, that the prisoner has not borne a reputable
character. It may be that the prisoner was both abu-
sive in his language and violent in his demeanour when
addressed by the police; but had they any right, in the
first instance, to interrogate him as they did ? We
think not. They clearly exceeded the limits of their
duty. It was proved that, two years since, the pri-
soner had been tried for stealing a watch. The pri-
soner declared that he was honourably acquitted, and
had since been honestly employed, whereupon the
LORD MAYOR remarked, " the magistrates well know
how frequently juries acquit in cases of guilt, in con-
sequence of the ingenuity of counsel, the tampering
with witnesses, and other circumstances." These
were exceedingly ill-timed observations, which,
however true, ought never to be made from 1
the seat of justice. In the eye of the law
a m anis considered innocent until found guilty, and
it is highly unbecoming in a judge to weaken the
value of this presumption to a man who has been
tried and acquitted—to surmise, off-hand, and parti-
cularly after a lapse of two years, that a man owed
his release from the grasp of the law, not to his in-
nocence of the crime charged, but to the dexterity of
his counsel. Such extra-judicial remarks may be
quoted and successfully handled by a malignant
person, inflicting great pain upon another, who has
been under the misfortune of having stood a
trial for an offence of which, in the opinion of
every candid mind, he was then considered to be
wholly innocent. The theory of the law, to which
we are alluding, is equally wholesome and bene-
volent, presenting a fine moral bulwark against the
shafts of malice and the assaults of tyranny. It is
based upon a sound principle, and ought not to be
tampered with. It is a principle that ought to be
rigidly maintained, however dubious its application
may appear to be in any given instance ; and, least of
all, should its sanctity be invaded by those who, by
their position, are expected to be its most faithful
guardians.
_

All danger of a deficiency of food in Ireland is now
happily dispersed; the enormous quantity of bread-
stufi's that have hen imported into that country have
had the effect, not only of bringing down the markets
to more reasonable rates, but of inducing persons
who had hoarded large quantities of corn, and other
cereal produce, to bring forth their secret stores to
the world. Few persons' will be found to regret the
disappointment that awaited those heartless men,
who, with ample supplies in their possession, saw des-
titution prevailing in their respective...neighbour-
hoods, and the
People suffering und;‘r all the
pangs and horrors of starvation, and still, not satisfied

with a fair and ample profit, retained that abundance

in their own hands which, if offered to puLlie nom-

petition, would have alleviated the general mi.ery
and preserved the lives of many who perished, the

victims of these sordid spirits• 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 they
were blinded to every consideration save that of pelf.

But happily they have reckoned without their host ;
a counteracting influence was in operation ; free trade
had been established, our ports were no longer closed
to the productions of other climes, monopoly had been
blniAhEd from our shores, and commercial enterprise,

unshackled by vexatious restrictions or protective itn-
posts, secured abundant supplies of every description
of foo 1. No greater evidence could be required of
the soundness of the views and the correctness of the

arguments of the Free-traders, or of the fallacies of
the Protectionists. The principle has been subjected
to a test of the greatest severity. A fearful crisis

was to be surmounted. AU the ordinary calculations

were displaced by the extent of the calamity. An
insufficient and scanty supply under the recent cir-

cumstances of the country could not be considered as

fatal, or even injurious, to the doctrines of free trade
indeed it would be hard to conceive any state of the
law by which the difficulties occasioned by the mys-
terious visitation of PROVIDENCE, in the destruction
of the chief part of the nation's food, could have been
averted. But the happy result is conclusive as to
their soundness and efficiency. What would have
been the state of the country had Sir ROBERT PEEL
postponed his great experiment for even a single
session ? We shudder at the contemplation of the
harrowing details that must inevitably have occurred.
No stronger confirmation could have been afforded
of the soundness of the Ministerial policy in leaving
the supplies of the country to be provided from the
legitimate sources. Had the British Government en-
tered the markets of the corn-exporting countries as
extensive purchasers, the immediate effect would
have been an enormous increase in the
prices of provisions of every description, the
cessation of all private enterprise, the banishing all
those who would not venture to encounter so power-
ful a competition. Had the Government once at-
tempted the task, or hesitated in giving the required
pledge, they could not have halted or held back. They
should have undertaken the supply, not only of Ire-
land, but of Great Britain, and we should
have seen a famine prevailing throughout
the entire land. The scenes of Skibbereen
would have been re-enacted on English ground ;
the artizlns and labourers, even of this great metro-
polis, would have seen their helpless children pining
from the inadequacy of their fox], and piteously
demanding the abundance to which they had been
accustomed. That such scenes have not taken place we
owe to the firmness of the Premier and his colleagues ;
their strict adherence to the sound principles of
politics]. economy has saved their country from this
accumulated misery. For this they have been reviled
and insulted ; reproach and obloquy have been heaped
upon them for conduct that should have secured, and
most undoubtedly will eventually secure, the national

gratitude.
Not the least curious part of the secret hoarding that
has been brought to light is the re-appearance in
the markets, not only of Dublin, but in all parts of
the country, of large supplies of sound potatoes that
Is ere kept back during the months of pressure and
scarcity, in the hope that the most exorbitant prices
would have been obtained. The o'dject, however, has
failed, as the rates are not higher at this moment
than they were many months since, when their pro-
duction would have been most valuable. It is impos-
sible to speak of this conduct in language sufficiently
strong to expose its atrocity.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived.
One of the appointments in the new Cabinet, that
of Senor PASTOR DIAZ to the Ministry of Commerce
and Public Instruction, is ♦ery significant. Ile is
the author of an exceedingly clever pamphlet against
the Montpensier marriage.
The Heraldo announces that Senor BAIIAAIONDE
had accepted the office of Minister of Justice.
In his opening speech to the Cortes, a sketch
of which we gave yesterday, and a full re-
port of which is published in the Madrid
Gazette of the 30th, Senor PACHECO, speak-
ing in the name of the Ministry, said that " With
regard to foreign affairs, their policy would be to live
in harmony with all nations, but not to form with
any that kind of close intimacy which could only
take place at the expense of Spain herself. They
had taken office at the moment when Spain had
contracted allianees, all of which should be
equally respected, without predilection in favour
of one more than another. At home they
would be guided by the laws, the spirit of which
they would seek to follow, and so rigorously,
that should there exist any doubt as to the
true meaning of any laws, they would adhere to
the letter of them, and then come before Parliament
for its ratification of their conduct. They meant to
propose a law in favour of the press, submitting it to
a tribunal independent of the nomination of the
Sovereign, and acting upon the true principles of
jurisprudence. He accepted the vote of the Chamber,
withdrawing authority to regulate the budget and pub-
lic debt, for the reason that, on principle he should al-
ways treat such authorisations as limited to the session."
It was generally believed in Madrid that PACHECO
could command such a majority in the Cortes as to
render a dissolution unnecessary. General FULGIOSO,
the brother of the Puke of RIANZARES, has been
dismissed from his command of New Castile and
Madrid, and General CounovA has been appointed in
his room. It is said that PEZUELL will also be dis-
missed, and be succeeded by JOSE DE LA CONCHA.
Senor PACUECO has announced a new act of
amnesty.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday,

The change of Ministry in Spain has brought out
the Opposition papers in grand force, and they all
contain the most biting and caustic remarks on what
the Constitu'ionnel calls the " tumbling down of the
castle of cards, which M. GUIZOT had erected with so
much care in Spain. If the evil," continues the
Conslitutionnel, " was limited to the destruction of
this card castle, it would be of no great consequence
The caprice which has destroyed it may perhaps build
it up again. But we have been deceived, not only as to
the duration of this mighty work, but also as to its
results. Nothing was to be changed in Europe. On
the contrary, we find everything changed— alliances
and antipathies. It is in Spain alone that nothing is
changed. The marriage has not modified either the
ideas, the customs, or the manners of the country.
It is still the land of complaisant Cortes, of ephemeral
Cabinets, of Court influence, and of
palace revolu-
tions." In another part of the same article the Con-
stitutionnel asks whether the journey of CnnISTINA to
Paris is one of pleasure or of necessity, and:wbether the
return of M. I3aEssoN to Madrid is impossible or is
ardently desired. It thus concludes :—" We do
not see in the recent transactions in Spain
anything like a triumph for any party.
There can be neither conquerors nor conquered where
everything changes
so rapidly and without serious
cause—it is ridiculous to sing a song of triumph for
the success of an influence which is so easily obtained ;
it would be madness to make it a basis of any system
of policy."
The National is less grave, but more annoying'. It
says—" No sooner
,had the new Ministers entered
upon office than they boldly faced those same Cortes
who a week before had gi%en such signal proof of
confidence in their predecessors :—so turns the wheel
7f fortune ! M. PACHECO, after having uttered a
few words okexplanatien, obtained a majority of 154
votes againstas6. As to M. SEILRAINO, he found him-
self at liberty; and
nimbly presented himself to the
fiscal who had commenced his prosecution, and who,
in the politest terms, begged of M. SERRANO not
to give himself any
further trouble about the
ralttfr.' Mr. Bur.wmt triumphs all along the
the line ; the Minister of Justice, whose
appointment will complete the Cabinet, will be chosen

from among his friends. The Progressists have
voted with M. PACHECO, their precursor; and the
new President of the Council, in the exposition of his
programme, has not hesitated to declare that his
foreign policy shall be exclusively national, which
was loudly applauded, as a reaction against France.
Mr. BuLwEl could not have said better, these being,
in fact, the very words used by that Ambassador in
a celebrated letter to M. SERRANO,. Alton:, all this
is promising—we have received the dowry, but
we shall pay the interest. Is it possible that one
should be so roughly handled five months after so
signal a victory ? Give us then back the blood of
PHILIP V."

The Jcurnal des Debats affects to treat the change
with indifference. It says—
" The choice of the new councillors chosen by Queen
Isabel is not calculated to inspire the least uneasiness.
Most of the members of the new Cabinet are men who

have given pledges to the monarchical and constitutional
cause, and who held a more or less conspicuous station
in the ranks of the Moderate party. As respects us,
however reluctant we may feel to mix up the interests of
France with these of Spaitf, we never practised a system
of exclusion, and do not consider ourselves bound to
support any political party in particular. In her present
situation, France, as well as Spain, is specially
interested; first, in the maintenance of a good harmony
amongst the great bodies of the State; and, secondly,
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, when Spain has scarcely emerged from
an agitation inseparable from the election of a new Lts
gislature, and when, if she be sufficiently strong to bear
the action of free institutions, 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 amongst
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 ccurse, 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 cell no more be expected in Spain than in England
or France. The Peogressista 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 PniurrE, and
after each conference M. Guizor was sent for.
The accounts from the corn markets in France are
for the most part more favourable, prices being gene-

rally lower.

at Friday's rates. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales. including
3,000 bales of American at bid. to 7i,1. per lb. Shares
were steady.
The returns of the receipts of the quarterly revenue,
which were made public this morning, have given a con
siderahle degree of satisfaction in all circles here. That
trade has increased was pretty well an ascertained fact
before the 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 corn excepted—not on speculation.
Nothing further has transpired relative to the re•
ported loss of the West India mail steam-packet Tweed.
It is considered certain, that should the intelligence un-
fortunately be true, that the number of passengers 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 Market
by the recent resolve on the part of the directors of the
Bank of England, in restric:ing the movements of the
discount firms of the City. In consequence, the result of
the next weekly meeting of the court on Thursday is
looked for with anxiety.
