natural antagonist; ESPART2RO, the only statesman
who combined in her service great military genius,
extraordinary administrative capacity, and the most
incorruptible honesty of purpose, was driven from
the guardianship of ISABELLA by the intervention of
France and the connivance of traitors. Another
chance still remained to the Spanish SoTEREIGN—
she might still obtain a guide and a defender in the
person of the man to be selected for her husband. How
this final aspiration of the supporters of Queen ISABELLA
has been disappointed—how her domestic happiness
has been blasted—how her hands have been weakened
and her name traduced—are facts notorious through-
out Europe, and already chronicled amongst the
blackest crimes of History. Through all these mar-
vellous and accumulated perils, however, her Most
Catholic MAJESTY has, as yet, passed unscathed.
Alone—with her mother leagued against her, the ac-
complice in all the guilty plots of her uncle, Louis
PHILIPPE, with ESPARTERO a wanderer in England,
and the KING-CONSORT scheming against her in the
Pardo—ISABELLA still remains seated upon the
throne, and that throne is still more securely based
upon the loyalty inspired by the gratitude and com-
miseration of the Spaniards.
By the way, what has become of the boast of Louis
PHILIPPE, that he would send NARYAEZ into Spain to
carry his intentions into effect ? The recent fulfilment
of that braggart assertion surely justifies some com-
memorative festivity at the Tuileries. General NAR-
YAEZ would make an excellent Master Mathew to the
Bobadil of his Majesty of the FRENCH.

It is indeed satisfactory when we are enabled to re-
cord instances of Irish landlords worthily discharging
the duties incidental to their position, and voluntarily
assuming liabilities for which, although not enforcible
by legal proceedings, they are still morally responsible.
That gratification is greatly enhanced when we find
the occupants of the soil vieing with the proprietors
in a noble rivalry, and, where the persons under whom '
they hold their lands are unable to come forward in
sufficient time to meet these demands in consequence
of absence, declaring that they themselves will pay
the amount, and arrange the matter when paying
their rents. Such circumstances are in the highest
degree honourable to all parties. They exhibit the
existence of that mutual confidence that should ever
be maintained between landlord and tenant. There
would scarcely be necessity for new laws to
improve the relationship between such men,
or to insure adequate compensation for such improve-
ments as might be effected on the lands, in the
event of the rent being improperly increased, or the
tenancy being prematurely terminated. There
would be no need for more stringent enactments to
provide for the collection of the rates that might be
struck for the maintenance of the poor within the

into the question, and consequently for withdrawing
it from the order of the day, there were eight can-
tons and one half canton ; for declaring the measure
a federal measure, and therefore for calling upon such
of the cantons as have Jesuits in them to send them
away, and never admit any of the order in future,
there were twelve cantons and two half cantons. In
pursuance of this vote, a decree was issued inviting
those cantons which had already admitted the Jesuits
to expel them, and forbidding any of the other can-
tons to receive them.

A letter from CivitaVecchia of the 30th ult. states
that on the previous evening Cardinal LAMBRUSCUINI,
who had been residing for some time near that place,
had unexpectedly left Rome. It adds that the Roman
Government had frequently pressed him to take up
his residence at a greater distance from the capital,
and it was supposed that he was about to comply with
the request, when, to the general astonishment, he
started fur Rome. _ _

The Contenzporaneo of Rome, of the 28th ult., an-
nounces that the King of SARDINIA. has invested
Cardinal FERRETTI with the Grand Cross of St.
Maurice and Lazarus. It is in contemplation to
strike a medal in memory of the; protests of Fer-
rara ; it will bear the effigy of, Pius IX.; on one
side, and those of Cardinals GUCCI:II and FERRETTI
on the reverse.

The Italiano of Bologna of the 31st ult. states from
Turin that, on the 18th, a Council of Ministers was
held at Racconigi, at which, it is said, the King of
SARDINIA signed the protest against Austria. On the
23d eight, carts laden with muskets left the arsenal
of Turin for Rome.
The Corriere Livornese mentions the dismissal of
Count SOLANO DELLA MARGIIERITA as Minister of
Foreign Affairs at Turin. The Count is known to
belong to the Austro-Jesuitical party. The Marquis
ALFIERI DI SOSTEGNO, a moderate Liberal, is the
probable successor. The Contemporaneo has been re
admitted to the Sardinian States.

district.
The occasion that called forth this pleasing exhibi-
tion was a meeting of the rate-payers of the electoral
division of Rathgormac, to consider the best me:.ns of
raising subscriptions in liquidation of the loans ad-
vanced from the National Exchequer in aid of the rates.
The whole of the proceedings are worthy of notice,
as affording a precedent which, if generally followed,
must be attended with the most beneficial results.
They afford, indeed, a strong contrast to the conduct
of those who only meet to pass resolutions condem-
natory of the conduct of the Government, and repu-
diating every liability on account of the advances
made fur the relief of the destitute in the season of
adversity. It appears that the sum necessary to repay
the Government would have amounted to 2s. 2.d. in
the pound on the poor-law valuation for the division,
but that the Commissioners were authorised to make
a donation equal in amount to any sum that might be
paid to the treasurer of the finance committee of the
union. The period within which this aid could be
afforded was, however, extremely limited, as it was
stated in a letter from the Commissioners that they
would not have the power to make any such advances
or donations after the 12th instant. The necessity

has need to be a Minister as long as possible. He '
consequently will not stick at any measure in order
to preserve his position. But it will be all in vain;
repelled equally by all parties, without support from
public opinion, and attacked incessantly by the press,
he will not fail to find himself at the brink
of the ditch, and it remains to be seen how he
will pass it. Will he dissolve the Cortes ? That
might, strictly speaking, prolong his existence for
two months, and in that case the Moderates and the
Radicals would, beyond the sphere of his influence,
engage in a desperate contest, of which the issue
would be equally fatal. Will he abandon the Govern-
ment to the Progressistas ? This is not impossible,
for it is not without a cause that Mr. BULWER dis-
plays so much activity, and that M. MENDIZABAL is
permanently established in the office of M. SALA-
MANCA. The new Ministry is not the Ministry of a
party, it is the Ministry of a club, composed of a
score of giddy and intriguing gamblers, who have all
obtained places, and who consequently represent only
themselves. It is a desperate measure on the part of
Mr. BULWER, and an expiring effort of M. SALA-
MANCA. The public mind is so much excited that
the conclusion cannot be dista►,t; and, unfortunately,
it is not probable that it can be of a pacific nature•
We shall on a future occasion tell why."
'We shall not wait for a future occasion to tell why.
The following announcement in the Union Monar-
chique not only shows why the solution cannot be of
a pacific nature, but who it is that is determined that
it shall not be of a pacific nature. " We are assured,"
says the Union Monarchique, " that dispatches from
NARVAEZ arrived on Sunday at the Hotel de Cour-
, celles. A Council was held, and the reply was soon
drawn up. It is sail that considerable sums and
letters of credit were sent to NARVAEZ, in order to
' enable him to act according to events."
The considerable sums above alluded to and which
are destined to bribe the army to revolt, amount to
60,0001. sterling in gold alone, exclusive of letters of
credit.

Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived.
By a royal decree issued on that day all political
emigrants, without exception, are authorised to
return to Spain, and all proceedings adopted against
them are annulled. This decree merely interdicts
the Carlists from residing in Catalonia, Arragon,
Navarre, or the Basque provinces. On the first
Senor PACHECO, and the five members of the Cabinet
who retire with him, had an audience of her
MAJESTY. Before leaving office PACHECO had
written to NARVAEZ by command of the QUEEN,
desiring him to return to the performance of his
duties in Paris. NARYAEZ had replied that he only
waited for the appointment of a Foreign Minister
to resign
.the post
.of Ambassador to the Court of
France.
The Heraldo and the Espanol have declared against
the Salamanca Ministry, as has of course the organ
of MON and PIDAL, the Faro. The Correo will be
the organ of the new Cabinet. The Eco del Com-
mercio and thu Esperan:a are favourably disposed
towards it, as is the Clamor Publico, although the
latter journal expresses an opinion that it will not
be able to weather the approaching financial crisis.
Senor GARCIA. GOYENA, who arrived on the Ist
from La Granja, has accepted the office of Minister
of Justice.

The Duke of FRIAS left Bayonne for Madrid on
the 4th, and on the evening of the same day the
Duke of SOTOMAYOR, who has been staying at Bar-
rita for the last two months, also left for the Spanish
capital. _ _

To her other amiable qualities Queen CHRIS-
TINA is, it appoars, about to add treason against
her SOVEREIGN, and that SOVEREIGN her own
daughter treason to the extent of levying
war. Really the Court which tolerates the presence
of Queen CHRISTINA need not be ao squeamish as to
the observations of the newspapers on the Praslin
affair.

The Constitutionnel thus comments on the conse•
quences of the Spanish policy of M. GUIZOT :----
" Ministerial and even party questions are not
those with which Spain is at this moment agitated.
The important matter is to know, not whether Nar-
vaez will return to Paris, send in his resignation, or
enter the Ministry, but whether any unforeseen event
will avert or render more imminent the dangers
which the marriages concluded by our Government
have suspended over Spain and over Europe ? It
will be seen on what a thread the peace of the world
now hangs. If the health cf Queen Isabella should
undergo any attack; if, unfortunately, a fall from
her horse or from her carrisge, or any other accident,
should endanger her life, the question of the succes-
sion, as she would leave no immediate heir, becomes
flagrant, and the casus kelli reserved by England
would at once present itself. If the King and Queen
continue to live apart from each other irreconcileably,
there can be no hope of an immediate successor to
the crown of Spain. And then the dissensions be-
tween England and France, the effects of which are
suspended only during the life of the Queen, are
every day becoming more aggravated, tearing
Spain to pieces, and presenting to Europe
a threatening aspect for the future. If the
Queen and King become reconciled through
the mediation Of Narvaez or Salamanca,
and still her Majesty does not give birth to an heir,
the state of things will continue to be no less agitating
and perilous. If; on the contrary, the separation of
the two consorts be prolonged, and the Queen de-
mands from the Pope, and obtains, an annulment of
her marriage, her taking any new consort will renew
the conflict between England and France. These are
some of the mosi redoubtable chances for a disturb-
ance of the repoe of Europe presented by the state
of affairs in Spain. Suppose, in fine, the Queen is
reconciled to her husband, and gives a successor to the
throne—will the dearest hopes of our Government be
fulfilled ? This happy event would have the effect of
putting an end to all the hopes of the succession fall-
ing to the Duchess de Montpensier, that is to say, all
the advantages of the Spanish marriages which have
so long been boasted of. It would not restore the
independence of Cracow, nor repair the evil results of
sour policy iz Switzerland, Greece, and elsewhere;
`nor re-establish the confidence between the Cabinet
..aver which M. Guizot is about to preside and over
:that of which Lord John Russell is the Prime Mi-
nister. It is this wide and deep division between
England and France, created by the causes we have
just enumerated, which troubles Spain, mingles
foreign elements in every Ministerial combination,
in every election, in every Parliamentary vote, and
prevents that country from peaceably developing at
home its constitutional government. Looking at
things in this light, the glorious work of our Minis-
ters may be judged of."
The Gazette de France contains the following.
It must be remembered, however, that on such a
subject the Gazette de France is not the best autho-
rity in the world :
" We think we can affirm that it has been resolved
to send 12,000 muskets to the Sovereign Pontiff,
which M. Rossi is charged to offer to him, leaving
him every kind of latitude for the payment."
It is said that M. GUIZOT is much displeased with
the manner in which French interests have been
lately managed in Greece, and that he has recalled
M. PISCATORIC from Athens.
The Siecle thus banters the Minister about his
recent diplomatic successes :
" If, as there is every reason to suppose, AI. de
Metternich recedes in Italy, his retreat will be a
check for his allies. When the Pasha of Egypt,
whose troops menaced Asia Minor, was obliged to
evacuate Syria, his retreat was a check for his friends.
At this moment, when the Coletti Cabinet in Greece
is on the point of yielding to the influence which
presses on its diplomacy and finances, its weakness
attests that of its protectors. The Istoris Ministry in
Spain could not fall without inducirg a doubt relative
to the external power by which it was supported. The
party which has been worsted in Switzerland had
also abroad a very imprudent advocate, who at pre-
sent shares its defeat. Now, who presented himself
in succession as the ally of Prince Metternich, the
friend of Mehemet Ali, the protector of Colletti, the
supporter of Isturiz, and the advocate of the Sonder-
bund ? It is for M. Guizot to answer that question.
Who compelled Prince Metternich to recede, Mehemet
Ali to retrace his steps, and overturned Isturis ?
Who encouraged the Helvetic Diet to dissolve the
Sonderbund ? Lord Palmerston will, we are sure,
readily reply to these questions."
The Commerce states that during some days past
a report has been circulated that an important com-
mercial house in Paris had suspended its payments.
Its engagements are estimated at 6,000,0001.
(240,0001. sterling). The manufacturers of Paris
are said to be seriously compromised by this failure.

General MANUEL CONCHA has been appointed to
supersede General PATIA, as Captain General of
Catalonia, and General ANSELMO I.3LAsEa has been
appointed Director-General of Infantry.
It is said that SALAMANCA is seriously intent on
adopting various important financial measures, and,
amongst others, an almost immediate reform of the
Customs tariff. It is also believed that a decree, re-
instating General ESPARTERO in his ranks and
honours, would appear shortly in the Gazelle, but on
the condition entered into by some of his friends,
that the ex-Regent should not at present return to
Spain.
The Eco del Commercio exhorts the Government
to employ the most active vigilance to prevent any
seditious outbreak, information having, it says,
reached it of certain intrigues set on foot by the
Afrancesados to bring about, if possible, a military

for prompt and immediate action was, therefore, ex.
tremely urgent, if the rate-payers desired to avai
themselves of the advantages thereof. A. resolution
was accordiagly proposed that collectors should be
appointed in the several townlands, to collect
one-fourth of the as. id. rate, or 7id. in the pound,
from the tenants, while the landlords were requested
to pay a similar sum, in order that the whole might
be lodged with the treasurer by the 7th instant, and
the remaining moiety obtained from the Government.
Every responsibility on account of the out-door relief
during the past season would thus be got rid of. A
more satisfactory course was, however, suggested by
the Noble Chairman, the Marquis of IVATEeroan,
who at once declared his readiness to pay the portion
of both landlord and tenant on his property of nine
townlands in the division, and to allow the tenants to
pay their portions thereof to him when they found it
convenient to settle their rents. In Ireland, as else-
where, it is only necessary that the initiative should
be taken. An example, whether for good or evil, will
be followed. The many will pursue the course pointed
out by those whom they are accustomed to look up to
and to respect. had the Noble Marquis declared
the impossibility of levying the rate, and recommended
a passive resistance, it is probable that many would
have readily adopted the suggestion, and that in place
of money, long remonstrances would alone have gone
to the Commissioners, repudiating the debt, and claim-
ing a total exemption from the payment of any part
of the amount. His conduct, however, was that of a
nobleman and a gentleman, a man of probity and
honour ; and it was responded to in a similar spirit.
Messrs. ROCIERTS and NUGENT declared their readi-
ness to do the same on their respective properties,
while a tenant farmer, Mr. EDMOND WALSH, whose
name we are happy to record, stated, that as his land-
lord lived at too great a distance to attend the meet-
ing, he would pay the half-rate for his landlord and
himself. Many other tenants evinced their desire to
pay the moiety assessed on their holdings, and to
receive credit for the landlord's portion on the rent-
day.
We regret to say, however, that the conduct of all
parties, landlords and tenants, in the Rathgormac
electoral division appears to be the exception and not
the rule. The occupiers of the soil appear little in-
clined to pay, while the majority of the proprietors,
in place of coming forward and satisfying the claims
affecting their estates, appear inclined to draw all they
can obtain from the lands, and tacitly sanction
the threatened passive resistance. There has
been a glorious harvest, affording a conso-
latory prospect of a season of plenty and abun-
dance, with full means to the farmers of paying all
just demands, and giving ample employment to the
labouring population, and thus bringing their lands
into the highest state of fertility and cultivation. But ,
the entire may be swept away by persons who have
compelled the occupiers to assume rents far beyond
their ability to pay, and who have consequently
heavy arrears nominally due to them. Such persons
will care little whether the poor-rates are provided
for or not, provided their demands are complied with.
Indeed, in most instances, they would be rather
pleased at anything that created a difficulty or inter-
posed an obstacle to the working of the obnoxious law,
the introduction of which they opposed with such
energy. But they may proceed too far. A
summary remedy may be found should they
persevere in such a course, and should
the collection of the poor-rate be rendered unusually
difficult, by reason of their improper conduct. The
tithe-rent charge has been paid, perhaps, more punc-
tually than any other description of property, since
the persons entitled to the first estate of inheritance in
the lands, according to the definition thereof contained
tithes, in the statute for the abolition of composition in lieu of
owfercehamnacdery made responsible therefor, and the
Court
was empowered to appoint a
receiver over the lands in the event of the claim re•
maining unsatisfied a certain time after application
for the amount. Let the landlords of Ireland be
warned in time. They may be well assured,if
that
they persevere in their insane and reckless opposition .
to the collection of poor-rates, a similar enactment
with respect thereto will be passed early in the en-
suing session of Parliament.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Journal des Dibuts presents its readers with a
mere dry record of the fact of the installation of the
Salamanca Cabinet in Spain, and of the publication
of a general amnesty. Not so the Presse. The organ
of Queen CHRISTINA presents its readers with a series
of personal sketches of the members of the new Cabi-

net, seasoned of course with laudations of NARVAEZ,

and abuse of Mr. BULWKR and England. The Fresse

says—

" The general opinion at Madrid, at the date of the
last accounts, was that the Duke de Frias would not:
accept the presidentship of the Council, and that in
that case it would be offered to M. Goyena. But we
cannot imagine that this gentleman, who is one of
the most distinguished lawyers in Spain, will
consent to compromise the general consideration
which he enjoys by taking any part in the
shameful intrigue which has just succeeded.
Spain is scandalized at the doings of General
Serrano, and ruined by those of M. Salamanca,
and it is this twofold immorality of the favourite
and the stock-jobber, which, thanks to Mr. Bulwer,
has been raised to the state of government. Our
readers may like to learn something of the men com-
posing this new Cabinet. They already know M.
Salamanca—they are aware of the existence of this
political and financial chamelion, who, for twelve
years, has gone through so many positions and em-
braced so many ideas, without ever losing his cool-
ness, his sneering smile, his air of supreme indiffer-
ence, and always concealing, under the appearance
of the most infantine simplicity, the most formidable
shrewdness and the most practised rouetie—he is, in
fact, a fox in lamb's attire. In 1836 and 1836 he
professed the most revolutionary opinions, but after-
wards, when named deputy, became completely
metamorphosed and joined the Moderadoes. He then,
with the aid of M. Heredia, his father-in-law, a rich
merchant of Malaga, obtained a number of Govern-
ment contracts, and amassed a large fortune. It
is now rumoured that rash speculations have dimi-
nished his wealth, and that hence arises the eager-
ness with which he clings to power, in order to re-
trieve his losses. M. Ros de Olano, the new Minister
of Commerce, is a military man, who has fought but
little, and who handles the pen more readily than the
sword. It must not, however, be supposed that he
shines in literature more than in arms. He is a sort
of dreaming, fantastic poet, a man full of vanity and
ignorance, particularly in administrative matters. Ile
has not neglected making a large fortune, as inspector
of customs; he was for some time secretary of Gen.
Narvaez. The Minister of the Interior, M. Patricia
de la Escosura, was a Carlist at the beginning of the
civil war, and as such was dismissed from the artillery
corps to which he belonged. He afterwards joined
the Constitutional party, and served under General
Ceoreddovga. Attached to the army of General Serrano

Ministry, and in that
capacity he deceived the confidence of his colleagues
to the profit of the coterie which endeavoured to
overturn them, and which thanks to him did not fail
to succeed. His treachery obtained for him the
position of Prefect of Madrid, the grand cross of
Isabella the Catholic, and the title of Chamberlain.
He is a man distinguished for bravery and activity,
and not wanting in general ability, though only a
sorry poet and writer. He is a man of unmeasured
ambition ; his age is now about forty. General
Cordova, Minister of War, has no other claim to
consideration than what the remembrance of his bro-
ther confers on him. He is a man of courage, and
an excellent colonel, but very ignorant, and passes
for being exceedingly rough and severe. He was
condemned for having taken part in the insurrection
of Generals Leon and Concha. His attachment to
M. Salamanca is explained by the pecuniary ser-
vices which the latter has rendered him, and which,
it is said, he is constantly rendering to his other
colleagues. M. Sotelo, the Minister of Marine, is a
complete nullity."
After indulging in a great deal of "scolding," the
Presse proceeds to prophecy that " this work of the
British Minister cannot last long." It then proceeds
thus :—"lt will endure, however, sufficiently long;for

PURCIIASE OF SIIARSPERE'S liousE.—The Duke
and Duchess of Norfolk have sent 501. to the Treasurer

pere's house at Stratford-upon-Avon.
The past weel, has been a favourable one for the
sportsman, and we understand that there has been an
abundance of game. A few land rails only have been
shot. The summer having proved, generally speaking,
dry, has been propitious to the land rail, and in parts of
Hertfordshire they have been met with in great num-
bers. It is a solitary bird, affecting corn fields, on which
account it is by some people denominated the corn crake.
There is one remarkable feature is the character of the
land rail, which is, that its creaking note would appear
to be close at hand, when the bird itself is a field or
further off, and when once flushed upon the wing it will
drop a few
yards from the sportsman, and cannot be
roused to effect a flight a second time. This bird is
reckoned a very groat delicacy, being of an exceedingly
plump and adipose nature, but it is so scarce in this
country that it is scarcely ever to be met with in
the poulterers' shops throughout London.—Brighten

The great corn failures began here last month, and it
will depend probably upon any previous intimation con-
veyed to Messrs. Prime, Ward, and Co., by their Lon-
don eorre,pondents, whether the former continue to draw
bills, and neguciate them with American houses having
remittances to make. Some information upon this point
will perhaps reach us by the next steamer, and should
there be a fresh batch of paper, it may be found more
difficult than upon the late occasion to induce parties
here to guarantee payment at maturity.
Accounts from Mayence state that the Prussian Go-
vernment, and the other Status, having possessions on
the Rhine, intend submitting to the Conference as-
sembled at Mayence, a proposition for reducing, by
50 per cent., the charges upon vessels navigating the
Rhine, but preserving the same classification as

by such a measure.
