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 rotes 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 for 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
uf: 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 I 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 Duc 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 Mort 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 15

Cabinet; now that that shadow is removed let those
propitious indications be 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 Committee
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
90,0001., of which our Gracious QUEEN and the
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 signed
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;000/., 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 their
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, from
the result of an accident that occurred to him while
engaged in the work of mercy, in carrying con-
solation to the abodes of the afflicted. Upwards of
9,0001. has been collected through the Famine Relief
Fund, and the Ladies' Relief Fund, under the
patronage of her Majesty the QUEEN• DOWAGER and
the Duchess of KENT, has obtained most beneficial
aid, chiefly from the fairer portion of the community.
But, magnificent as have been the fruits of these
several exertions, handsomely as the contributors
have come forward and afforded their spontaneous as-
sistance in the cause of humanity, we look for some-
thing more—we desire that the fund may be a national
one, that its collection may be general throughout the
entire country; that every one possessed of means
should be stimulated to give to the best of his ability.
It is not merely the amount of the gift, but the spirit
in which it is tendered, that should be regarded.
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 making
their offering a part of a general parochial collection,
will be ardently desired by such persons, where they
will have the satisfaction of thinking that they have
taken a part in the good work, without coming
prominently forward. Few would withhold their
shillings or half-crowns if a collector came to their
doors, who would scarcely think it worth while to
transmit such small sums to a distance, and yet in 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 affluent
few. These means will now be generally afforded.
The QUEEN'S letter has been issued, of which pub-
lication will be made in every parish church through-
out the kingdom on some Sunday in this or the
ensuing month, and the officiating minister in each
will be required by his diocesan effectually to excite
the parishioners to a liberal contribution, to be col-
lected the week following at their respective dwellings
by the churchwardens and overseers. Such a missive
has ever been eminently successful in procuring large
sums in aid of any object for which it has been issued,
and never has there been one that possessed greater

claims on the sympathies of every class. We cannot
doubt that it will be responded to in the manner it
deserves, and that those who have been clothed and
fed by English liberality in the season of their bitter
affliction and sore extremity, may, on the return of
more prosperous and happier times, feel deeply
grateful to their generous benefactors.
It is scarcely necessary to add a single word in
favour of a subscription which comes thus strongly
recommended, and the imperative necessity for which
is so frightfully apparent. In one district alone, that of
Bawtry, coroners' inquests were held on no less than
ten persons men and four women) on the 18th

of constant recurrence in a Christian land, forming a
portion of the wealthiest kingdom in the world. We
cannot, however, refraim from quoting shortly from
the charge of Mr. Sergeant HOWLEY when opening
the Quarter-Sessions at Nenagh, on Friday, a gentle-
man whose authority will be universally admitted by
all parties, and who draws the following graphic
picture of the existing distress. He says—
" Writers of fiction have drawn the terrors, the deco-
lotion, th© sufferings attendant on the plague of former

times, but those pictures of the imagination, highly
coloured as they may be, do not equal those pictures of
real suffering 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 fooa ; 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 uushrouded victims consigned
.uncoffined to the grave!"

se, and no contravention of any treaty, is yet justly severe
on the conduct of M. GUIZOT thoughout the negotia-
tions. Speaking of the note of the 18th of January, the
Siecle 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.' He 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 person,' 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
trance 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
preteit 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-office, 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 Debas says that the reply of M. GUIZOT to Lord
PALNERsrox'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

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

By the transit ship Zenobia, we have accounts from
New York to the 6th inclusive. The intelligence is of
considerable importance.
The President had transmitted to Congress the follow-

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
source. With abundant crops, however, the Van
Dieman's Land growers were striving to withhold their
grain and keep up the market, to such an extent, indeed,
that it was mooted as a serious question whether it would not
be desirable to bespeak supplies from America, even at 60s.

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 grainat a fair profit, he might soon find himself unable to li
sell but at a loss. As fables often impress the youthful mind
more deeply with truths sought to be conveyed, possibly
the " regrato:" 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, cf. 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 ot 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 account in 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 stick 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 914 buyers, while
the Money transactions have been at 91 to 4. Bank Stock
has been again 2031,4 to 204%. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter Cents. have realised 93 to 4, and the Three per
Cents. 914 to %. 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 24% to %, and Mexican Bonds
224 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 94 premium ; Caledonian 33/4 discount ;
Eastern Counties, 1% to 2% premium ; Great Western, 40
to 42 premium ; Blackwall, 8% discount ; Brighton, 54%
premium; North-Western, 92 to 93 premium ; Newcastle
and Berwick, 123/4 to 13 premium ; North British, Half, 314
3/4 premium; North Stafford, 3 to 34 premium; Scottish
Central, 6% to 7 premium ; South Devon, 6 discount; York
and Newcastle, 12 premium; Boulogne and Amiens, 3% to
5,i discount; Great Northern of France, 4% premium; and
Paris and Lyons, 4 to % discount.
