tion of the British islands struggled upwards to those
lights of knowledge, of religion, and of the arts
whereby society is beautified and embellished, which
had been originally ignited among the population of
the Italian peninsula. Now-a-days the Italians are
struggling upwards to those lights of civil and reli-
gious liberty which have been burning brighter and
brighter during several past centuries in the cities of
Great Britain. It is a noble reflection, and a sublime
interchange of blessings.
So irresistible has become the popular movement
throughout Italy that the obstruction raised by its
natural antagonist, the Austrian Kaisar, only tends
to its visible acceleration. The momentary infringe-
ment of the engagements solemnly entered into at
Vienna in 1815, has actually conduced to the more
speedy fulfilment of the veritable arrangements of that
memorable compact. To speak more plainly, the
temporary occupation of Ferrara has produced such a
reaction in the adjoining principalities, that it is
deemed advisable by the Government of METTERNICiI
that the contingent understanding of 1815 should in
1847 (before decease has rendered it necessary)
be formally carried into effect. Preliminary steps
are already being taken for the abdication
of the ex-Empress Maass. Louisa from the grand-
ducal throne of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla, and
the result of this retirement of the widow of NAPO-
LEON, will be the immediate incorporation of Lucca
with the territories of LEOPOLD of Tuscany, and the
transference of the sovereignty of the combined
duchies already mentioned to the chief member of the
reigning family of Lucca. In other words, the
political and social emancipation of Lucca will be
insured by its incorporation with the dominions of the
liberal-minded LEOPOLD, while Parma, Piacenza,
and Guastalla will be afforded an opportunity
of effecting their liberation by passing from the
immediate thraldom of the Viennese dynasty into the
possession of that pusillanimous Prince who has re-
cently permitted his subjects to wrest the keys of
their dungeons from his unwilling grasp. Modena
will then remain the insulated blot upon the map of
Italy, though it is preposterous to imagine that the sub-
lime and irresistible impulse of freedom throughout
the length and breadth of the peninsula will be very
long avoided by any guileful policy on the part of the
young Sovereign of that principality. Modena
must ultimately partake of the delights of
liberty, and Venetian Lombardy must, in
time, be so far affected by the surrounding
atmosphere of independence as to arise with
the rest of its compatriots, and pour libations to
the Goddess of Freedom. It rests with Austrian
despotism to decide whether or not those libations
shall be libations of blood.

It is stated by the Nuremberg Correspondent that
while the POPE was, on the 14th inst., reviewing the
national guard posted at the Quirinal, his HOLI-
NESS exhorted the civic soldiery to tarry in
patience and confidence as to the fulfilment of
their dearest aspirations ; because, said he, a
league of the Italian Sovereigns will speedily
be constituted for the purpose of ensuring
to the entire peninsula " the regular progress of its
institutions." That is the most encouraging declara-
tion yet made to the Italians ; it only requires a Con-
gress of those Italian Sovereigns in one or other of
their capitals—say the Eternal City itself, as the
most appropriate and decidedly the grandest locality
in which such a conference could take place—to con-
firm the hopes of the multitude by affording them a
visible token of their security. Whatever may be
the details of this extraordinary arrangement, what-
ever may be the particular sequence of events in
the different principalities, it is certain that Italy
has at this moment virtually obtained its liberation,
and that its inhabitants may rely implicitly upon the
wisdom of such patriotic rulers as Pope Pius IX.,
as King CHARLES ALBERT, and as the Grand Duke
LEopoLn 11. Modena will now stand alone in its
absolutism as Marino has hitherto stood in its inde-
pendence. All Italy is forsaking its fraternity with
Modena, and is aspiring to a brotherhood with the
citizens of Marino.

We yesterday announced the great fact of the
formation of " The National Anti-Gold-law League,"
on the preceding evening, from which we draw the
most propitious auguries for the future welfare of the
country, and from whose exertions we look for the
emancipation of our trade and commerce from the
fetters and bonds by which they have hitherto been
restricted and enchained. The new League will
have to prepare itself for an arduous and difficult
contest. It will have to encounter numerous impedi-
ments. Many will oppose what they conceive to be
their own selfish interests to the general advantage,
Already the proprietors of large fixed incomes, arising
from funded property, mortgages, or other sources,
which cannot be increased, no matter what may be
the national prosperity, or deteriorated, as to the
amount of the annual dividend or interest by any
degree of adversity, they will believe that it must
be more favourable for them to keep up
the dearness and scarcity of money, although
I the ruin of thousands may thereby be effected, and
millions of their poorer brethren deprived of the
employment that they would otherwise obtain, and the
comforts they would thereby be enabled to procure for
their families. Others will be led aside by high
sounding phrases and plausible harangues. They
will be persuaded that there can be but one measure
of value, that a metallic medium is the only one that
can safely be recognised, and that the adoption of any
other is almost equivalent to a repudiation and an act
of barefaced injustice, amounting to a robbery of the
national creditor, and that it is incumbent on every
honest and right-minded man to oppose with all his
power any change in the present system. A still larger
body will for a time remain apathetic, and without
taking any part in the struggle on either
side. Professing themselves unable to com-
prehend the details of a question so complicated
and involved, they will desire to leave the contest to
be fought by those who are more fully acquainted with
the subject, and will thus, by the vis inertia, strengthen
the hands of those who would keep matters in their
present condition, who contend for the finality of
our monetary arrangements, and that the 20,000,0001.
in notes which the Bank of England and the private
bankers are allowed, by the Act of 1844, to issue,
without a corresponding deposit of gold in their
coffers, and, indeed, without any security beyond
that of the public debt due by the Government to
the Bank, is to be regarded as the ne plus ultra—an
Ultima Thule which cannot, in any state or condition
cf the national finances, or under any possible cir-
cumstances, be exceeded. Again, even among the
more zealous and enthusiastic reformers, men who
are thoroughly convinced of the baleful effects of the
present system, and the absolute necessity for a
speedy revision of our financial code, many diffe-
rences still exist as to the nature and the
extent of the alterations it would be desirable to
sanction the character of the changes for which they
should contend, and which they should demand at
the hands of the Legislature. There are thus different
classes, consisting of the unproductive and idle, living
on fixed incomes, who conceive themselves " fruges
consumere nati," and that any change may occasion
the horrible necessity of making some exertions for
their own livelihood, and entering on a course of
honest industry in place of leading a life of idleness
and repose. 2dly. The honest and well-intentioned,
but mistaken men. idly, The careless, apathetic,
and ignorant. And, 4thly, The monetary reformers
\of every shade and diversity of opinion.
rtlhoetyypse,hould not, however, be disheartened by the
consideration of these difficulties. " Their great
po
had to encounter similar ones, and to a
much greater extent. They had the owners and
occupiers of land in every part of the kingdom who
erroneously believed that their very existence and
means of support were involved in the maintenance
of their monopoly, and the prohibitory and protect-
ive duties then in force. They had likewise mis-
taken men who thought that the agriculturists were
entitled to protection in consequence of the weighty
burdens which they had to sustain, and from which
the foreign grower was exempted. They, too, had
the . faineants who took little or no interest in the
matter, and allowed it to be settled by wiser heads,
and they had differences amongst themselves—the
advocates of sliding scales of various dimensions, the
advocates of a moderate fixed duty, and those who
11 demanded the free and unconditional admission of the
cereal products from all parts of the globe. But
they triumphed over all, and attained a peaceful and
glorious victory, within seven short years more 1

than realising the most sanguine anticipations
of the zealous and enthusiastic leaders of the move-
ment.
By what means was this unparallelled triumph
achieved ? By the devotion, the untiring energy.
the unremitting exertions of a few indefatigable men.
!Meetings were held in every locality throughout the
length and breadth of the laud ; addresses were un-
ceasingly issued and wafted on the wings of the press
to every part of the empire ; lectures were delivered
by talented and well-informed men, who invited
discussion, and fearlessly entered the lists with every
opponent. Corn-law rhymes and corn-law ballads
were composed and circulated. The registrations
were watched—Free-traders were invited to obtain
the elective franchise, to which they were really
entitled, and which a trifling exertion placed within
their reach, and every minor difference was merged
for the purpose of promoting the great
end and object of all their desires. Funds were ob-
tained to an almost incredible extent. Those who
were satisfied of the vast advantages, indeed, of the
absolute necessity of the required alterations, re-
sponded to every demand of the Council with a
spirit and liberality that was indeed surprising, and
which could not be conceived or understood by those
ignorant of the energy and determination of English-
men when thoroughly aroused. Calls for 2.5,000/.
and 100,000/. and 250,000/. were in turn made and
promptly answered ; there was no failure in the anti-
corn-law rent ; the Free-traders became united ;
the apathetic were aroused ; the ignorant in-
structed ; the real consequences and the probable
results of the change were explained to all ;
and even a large portion of those who be-
lieved themselves personally interested in opposing
the principle, and in retaining protection, were
convinced that they would not be so deeply affected
as they had imagined, but that they would obtain
advantages which would more than counterbalance
any probable loss, and thus were won to the side of
those whom they had formerly opposed with their
utmost vigour and ability. The ANTI-GOLD I.aw
LEAGUB must act in a like manner. No pains
or exertions can be omitted. If they desire
success, their first duty is to enlighten the people
and to remove.the ignorance that prevails on the

subject, constant discussions must take place; the
public mind cannot be suffered to relapse into apathy,
or the interest once awakened to be abated. They
have a precedent before them as to how they are to
act ; if they follow it boldly and manfully they must
succeed—the ultimate triumph is certain ; but if
they relax in their exertions, it were better that they
had never entered upon the conflict.

We learn from Cologne that on the 23d the King
of PRUSSIA, passing through that city, stopped to visit
the Cathedral, of which he is the Protector, and the
new buildings at the Civil Hospital. The Communal
Council being assembled, appointed M. ST UPP, one
of its members, to deliver an address to his MAJESTY,
thanking him for having granted a Communal
Organization, in harmony with the propositions of the
Provincial Diets, but at the same time expressing a
hope that he would receive favourably their recent
request for the Communal debates being public. The
KING replied as follows :
" I was not prepared to meet you here. lam
nevertheless well pleased at finding you in one of the
finest monuments of this city. Gentlemen, the revo-
lution secured for you but very few liberties. (Here
his Majesty gesticulated strongly with his hand, in
which he held his glove, adding still greater expres-
sion to his thrilling words.) I wished to give you a
communal constitution much more free (that of the
ancient provinces), but you would not accept it,
preferring this (the French constitution). You know
that the Prussian communal constitution comprises
much more freedom than yours. It may be that that
which you have preferred accords better with your
situation ; but since you have chosen it, let us confine
ourselves within its sphere, without wishing to go
beyond it. We will endeavour to realise thereby
gradually some new improvements. Make good use
of the constitution you have got, but do not attempt
to go beyond it."

It is currently reported that the abdication of
MARIE-LOUISE, the Grand Duchess of Parma, is
settled ; there is only a question of fixing the pension
which must be made to her. It results from these
circumstances, if they should be accomplished, that
the reigning family of Lucca would be called on to
succeed the ex-Empress at Parma, and that the
Duchy of Lucca would be incorporated with Tus-
cany, the whole in virtue of the treaty of Vienna.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 24th announced the
discovery of a species of conspiracy in Leghorn. The
account it gave was confused and imperfect, but this
deficiency has been supplied by a letter, which informs
us that some of the police agents, who are hostile to
all notions of reform, having attacked in the night a
small group of young men noted for their liberalism,
the populace rose and drove the policemen out of the
city. The people in their excitement proceeded to
arrest a great many persons suspected of entertaining
opinions adverse to reform and improvement, and, if
the Turin letter is correct, some of these persons
were wounded. To put an end to this state of dis-
order the Government issued the following proclama-
tion, dated the 22d :
" Livornese,—Some alarming reports, disseminated
during the last few days, have created a fear that
public security was about to be disturbed by the plots
of conspirators. These reports have afforded a pretext
to some ill-disposed individuals to commit acts
blameable as being arbitrary and violent, and which
would have been attended with serious consequences
but for the intervention of the patrols of the civic vo-
lunteers. To put an end to disorder so grave, the
local Government, invested with sufficient authority
by the superior Government, has resolved to call im-
mediately into active service the civic guard. The
command of this body, under the provisional direction
of the Gonfaloniere, is intrusted to the chefs de ba-
tadlon Bartolommei and Pacho. All the good citi-
zens of Leghorn are invited to concur and aid in this
duty, and the people are warned that all the orders,
which the said civic guard may have occasion to issue
for the re-establishment of public tranquillity, must
be respected and carried into execution. In fine, to
give complete assurance to the public mind, the go-
vernor makes known that all the persons most openly
accused by the public voice have spontaneously sur-
rendered themselves into the hands of the authorities,
and have been transferred to a place of security, there
to undergo a formal examination ; the result of which
the public is desired to wait for in calmness and con-
fidence."

This proclamation seems to have had its intended
effect. At the same time we learn that the Sardinian
Government not having acceded to the project of an
address to be presented to it by the inhabitants of
Genoa, and which several journals have published, as
having actually been transmitted to the King of
SARDINIA, that address has been postponed.

The Alba has the following from Leghorn :—" On
the evening of the 19th two unarmed civic guards,
being on their way to the guard-house to join their
comrades, were met by seven or eight ruffians, who
whilst uttering cries against the PorE, attacked
them, and wounded one slightly in the arm, while
the other was stretched on the ground with three
serious wounds in his leg. After this disgraceful
victory, they fled crying—" Long live the Aus-
trians !"

Madrid Journals of the 24th instant have arrived.

Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid from La Granja,
on the 23d. The Afrancesado papers state, that his
return was occasioned by a dispatch from Lord PAL-
MERSTON, instructing him to wait on the QUEEN, and
assure her MAJESTY that the British Cabinet would
aid in dissolving her marriage with DON FRANCISCO,
and in bringing about a marriage with the Count of
MONTEMOLIN, and the re-establishment of the Salique
law. It is, however, not very probable that either
Lord PALMERSTON or Mr. BULWER would acquaint
the editors of the Afrancesado papers with the con-
tents of their dispatches.

NARVAEZ is still at Madrid intriguing for the re-
storation of the Afrancesados to power.
The state of Navarre is represented as most alarm-
ing ; a general outbreak of the Carlists is expected
there daily.

General CONCHA, the Captain-General of Cata-
tonia, has declared the frontier of the Pyrenees to be
in a state of close blockade, excepting where
the high road from Barcelona to Perpignan passes by
Junquera.

would have been wise to avoid. No one comprehends
better than we that the Ministry should withstand
the Opposition, should risk its existence, should ac-
cept the combat, should not allow itself to be intimi-
dated by any resistance whatever, when the question
turns on some great public interest, on a decisive vic-
tory, a valuable conquest, a memorable undertaking,
a fruitful reform, a progress misunderstood ; but what
we cannot comprehend is, that a Government should
decide on staking its popularity against puerilities,
on toiling back through the course of time in
order to effect—what ? To varnish over a democratic
society of barons and counts of false alloy, a nobility
without being illustrious ; or, in other words, to re-
store, after two-and-thirty years of peace, the dignity
of Marshal-General of France, to confer it on an old
man of 80 ! Far be it from us to cast the slightest
stain on the glory of Marshal Soult ; we honour as
much as any one the long and brilliant services which
he has rendered to his country ; we should have ap-
proved of some striking homage being rendered to
his great experience ; but we cannot give our appro •
bation to a tribute which appears paid to a puerile
vanity, and which seems to transform into a child's
rattle his Marshal's baton, so gloriously gained !
Better things might have been done than to create a
dignity without functions ; there was an opportunity
of instituting great state dignitaries by nominating
Marshal Soult Commander-in Chief of the army, a
post held by the Duke of Wellington in England.'
In the same journal we find an article urging the
French Government to form an alliance with the
different states of Europe nominally for the purpose of
attacking the naval supremacy of England, but really
for the purpose of realising that dream of universal
empire in which France is ever and anon wont to
indulge. The text from which the Presse preaches
is a note addressed on the Ist of February, 1825, by
M. DE VILLELE to the French Ambassador in
London, in which that astute Minister lays down a
plan for exploiting Europe to the advantage of France
by fostering dissensions between England and the
other powers. There can be little doubt but that
the present Government of France is acting upon
the principles of M. DE VILLELE, and we therefore
reproduce this important State paper. " France,"
says M. DE VILLELE, " is in a mixed situation which
imposes on her a more reserved and less defined con-
duct than on states whose position is simple. We
have one foot on land and the other on the sea, and a
new constitution and a King of the family that has
reigned over us for centuries. We live on a
credit founded on the produce of indirect
taxes, and we have nothing solid but the
products of our soil. England will always
regard us as the only country whose rivalry
she has to fear on the points: most dear to her, and
the powers of the Continent will regard us as a mo-
narchy imperfectly restored, whose new institutions
and ancient military power place their repose and
security in danger. We cannot, then, in reality reckon
upon any body, and, above all, we are bound not to
give ourselves up to any body. To the injustice of
England we must oppose our union with the powers
of the Continent ; to the exactions of the latter we
must oppose the dread of the cessation of the union of
all the Cabinets of the Continent. We are not strong
enough alone to resist England on the seas, or to struggle
against the Continent with the formidable alliance
that exists there. What, then, is to he done in
this situation ? To defend our honour and our
safety against all if an attempt should be ever made
to attack them ; but to renounce all pretension of
imposing on others laws, the execution of which we
are not in a condition to enforce. Thus, with regard
to England, not to follow her example when she
does wrong, and to tell her plainly as we are doing
that we do not imitate her because we think she
does wrong. As regards our allies of the Continent,
to resist their demands if ever they should make any
that are unreasonable and contrary to our interests.
With this not very brilliant but sure conduct to
maintain as long as we can the general peace, of
which we have so much need, to repair our losses
both as a° maritime and continental power, and as a
restored country after a terrible revolution. To wait
until the continental or maritime colossal powers
formed upon our ruins and during our follies shall
become weak or divided, to watch with care the new
combination which events may produce, and to be
always ready to profit by them, and resume a posi-
tion which cannot fail to be soon attained by what
still remains of the real and moral force of France-
Such is my opinion; on the ensemble of conduct. It
does not exclude the examination on every occasion
of the isolated acts which might contribute to raise
us sooner to a strong position. In fact the affairs of
the East may, as regards the Continent, bring about
combinations of a nature to gis e us a higher im-
portance."

It behoves the Powers of Europe to beware lest
their differences should afford, to the present rulers
of France, that opportunity after which M. DE VIL-
LELE sighed in vain.

On the subject of the loan we find the following
in the Constitutionnel

" The Budget of 1849 is at the present moment a
subject of grave difficulty for the Minister of Finance,
and, indeed, for the whole Cabinet. The obstacles
which present themselves to the loan are essentially
connected with these difficulties, and singularly com-
plicate the financial position. Several journals have
announced, without, however, appearing to attach
great confidence to the declaration, that the Minister
of Finance, in consequence of having access to
private resources, had postponed to an inde-
terminate period the task of contracting the loan.
According to the information which we have
procured from a good source we are inclined to
think that the position of the Minister of Fi-
nance is not such as that he can as yet come to any
decisien relative to that measure. M. Dumon, on
the contrary, alarmed, with just reason, at the diffi-
culties which the financial crisis is calculated to create
for him in effecting the loan, is at the present moment
endeavouring to seek out, without, however, knowing
if he can find them, the means of postponing that
painful undertaking. For that purpose he has just
applied to his colleagues to send him in forthwith the
elements necessary for the formation of the Budget of
1849, and to concert together on the means of con-
fining the total within the narrowest possible limits.
It is not until after that preparatory labour, and when
he shall have decided on the principal basis of the
Budget for 1849, that the Hon. Minister will be able
to judge of his wants and resources, and that he can
at last determine the period and conditions of the loan."

MARRIAGE OF THE COUNTESS DOWAGER IVALDE•
GRAVE.—Yesterday forenoon the marriage of the Dow-
ager Countess NV aldegrave. widow of the late Earl
Waldegrave, and of John James Henry Waldegrave,
Esq., with George Granvill- Harcourt, Esq., M.P. for
Oxford, was celebrated at Belhus, Essex, the seat of Sir
Thomas Barnett Leonard, Bart. The ceremony was
performed in the parish church adjoining, the Rev.
Spencer Braham, brother to the beautiful and accom-
plished bride, officiating, her venerable father, the
distinguished vocalist, for the third time in the holy state
of matrimony, giving her away. At the conclusion of
the service the happy pair left for Nuneham, Oxford-
shire, the seat of the bridegroom's father, the Arch-
bishop of York, there to pass the honeymoon. Mr.
Harcourt, who is in the 63d year of his age, was pre-
viously married to Lady Elizabeth Bingham (sister to
the Earl of Lucan) who died in 1838. The late Earl
Waldegrave died on the 28th of September in the past
year.

The staie of feeling in the City has been gloomier
this morning than even for some days past. Besides
Messrs. Lyall, Brothers, in the East India trade, with
liabilities to the extent of 300,000/. or 400,0001;, we
have Messrs. Samuel Phillips and Son, connected with
the African and Indian trades, for 150,000/.; and we fear
we must add another house, though caution restrains us
at preFent from the mention of the name. Some people
ask what the Government is about ? The mere intima-
tion that the 139.nk was empowered to issue more notes
might stop atie mercantile panic, and yet without any
necessity to bolster up insolvent firms. Houses that are
good cannot stand without some aid, when each suc-
ceeding failure adds to their losses ; nor can any evi-
dence be more conclusive upon this point than that
afforded by the balance-sheet of Mr. Robinson, the late
Governor of the Bank of England, who ought never to
have bee❑ allowed to suspend.
Most alarming reports have been circulated again
respecting a great trading company, said to have stopped
payment, with liabilities to the amount of two millions
sterling.

The Bank of England has added to the excitement by
refusing loans upon Stock and Exchequer-bills, even at
the rate established yesterday-51 per cent.
The Fuods are most seriously affected this morning.
Consuls opened, at 851 for Money, and 85/ for Ac-
count, but are 84,5, If now. Exchequer• bills are par to

seems inclined to do business.

Spanish Three per Cents. are 28i, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. 23 ; Brazil Stock, ex dividend, is 78 ;
Dutch Two. and-a Half per Cents. are 541 to 534.
Railway Shares have been lower, as a matter of
course, and it is, perhaps, a consolation that they can be
sold at all just now.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A full average quantity of English Wheat, of upwards
of 4,000 quarters, has come to hand for our market this
week ; and the show of samples to•day was moderately
extensive. Owing, in some measure, to the large quan-
tities of American Flour pressing tor sale, the demand
for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at a
decline on Monday's currencies of from is to 2s per
quarter. Foreign Wheat—the supply of which on offer
was extensive—met a very slow inquiry, at is to 2s per
quarter less money. Jlalting Barley supported late
rates, but grinding and distilling sorts were very dull,
and the term cheaper. The sale for Malt was wholly in
retail, at late currencies. As the supply of foreign Oats
was great, viz., 40,600 quarters, the trade was very dull,
at 6d per quarter decline on Monday's figures. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour were very heavy,
but not lower.

Although there was a slight falling off in the supply
of Beasts on sale to-day, compared with that exhibited
on Friday last, it was quite equal to the wants of the
buyers. The few prime Scots, &c., on offer moved off
steadily at full prices; otherwise the beef trade was
heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty
supported. The numbers of foreign stock comprised
447 Oxen and Cows, 3,300 Sheep and Lambs, 190
Calves, and 47 Pigs, mostly in bad condition. With En-
glish Sheep we were scantily supplied; nevertheless, the
inquiry for that description of stock was in a sluggish
state, at a decline in the currencies of 2d per 81bs, the
highest figure for the best Downs not exceeding 5s 4d
per Blbs. Lambs are now out of season. Prime small
Calves were quite as dear, but tlie inferior qualiLes of
Veal were a mere drug. Pigs were in full average sup-
ply, and sluggish inquiry, at late rates. Milch Cows
were very dull, at Crum 151 15s to 181 each, including
their small calf.

the demand is still in a very inactive state, and to effect
sales a further de:dine in the quotations has been sub-
