Madrid papers of the 11th instant have arrived.

It is said that in consequence of differences among
the Ministers, on the subject of the financial meactires
of Senor SALAMANCA, the Ministry will be broken
up and a new Ministry formed, of which General
SERRANO and Senors OLOZAGA and SALAMANCA
will be members. Other reports say that Senor
PACHECO alone will retire, and be appointed
either Ambassador to Rome or President of the
Chamber of Deputies, and that General NARVAEZ
will be the new President of the Council. Senor
SALAMANCA has returned from Aranjuez to Madrid.
The KING left on the 11th for the Prado.

MADRID BOLSA, MAY 11.—The Three per Cents. were
done at 31 for cash ; the Debt without Interest at 5% ; and
the Five per Cents. at 191/t for paper.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

The Government of M. GUIZOT is, according to
the general opinion, tottering to its fall. His ill
success at Madrid and at Athens, and his failure to
bring about an entente cordiale with Russia, have
shaken the confidence which the majority of the
Chambers have hitherto reposed in him, and the
discovery of the wholesale system of corruption
which he has used as his great instrument of
home government has tended so to damage his cha-
racter that he may now be considered almost as a
Minister on sufferance merely. An article which
appears in the Journal des Debats of Sunday, in
which certain officials are vehemently attacked, is
a proof that M. GUIZOT himself considers his Minis-
terial position insecure. The article in question
alludes to a letter addressed to the editor by several
merchants of Paris, in which the writers say—

" You will not believe that in our days the administration
of the Customs has had recourse to the most odious means
employed by the police in the worst of times. Our servants
ar•e suborned, our clerks paid to denounce their masters;
persons sent by the agents of the Custom-house continually
present themselves in oar houses to ask us to sell foreign
articles, or propose such articles for sale. Our houses, as
well as those of our friends, some of whom are not engaged
in buiness, are publicly invaded by a crowd of agents, sc.
ccmpaiied by a commissary of police, in quest of a booty,
which they divide among themselves; for you must know
that the objects seized and the fines imposed benefit ex
elusively the Custom-office agents and the informers,
and not a fraction enters the coffers of the State. Within
a few days the Customs officers have visited the establish-
ments of from 40 to 50 merchants in Paris. What did they
seize? Goods which had been lying between five and fifteen
years in their stores! The whole value of the seizures does
not exceed 20,000 f. or 25,000 f. In that estimation we in-
clude French goods mistaken for English ; small pieces of
cloth, and even waistcoat patterns for tailors' shops, have been
likewise searched."

On this statement the Debats observes:—
" It i 3 not possible that the principle of absolute prohibi-
tion which warrants those attempts against liberty, public
morality, and property, should remain any longer inscribed
in our codes. Let it be replaced by duties of 30, 40, or 50
per cent., if necessary, although Colbert, whose authority is
always invoked by,the Protectionists, never established a
duty higher than 10 per cent. It is time to put a period to
that barbarous institution, which is an insult to common
sense, and the present moment is the more favourable as the
Chambers are about to discuss a new Customs' Bill."

M. GUIZOT is evidently preparing to organize an
opposition party, on which to fall back when he quits
office. Free trade will no doubt be his cheval de
bataille.

The Committee of the Court of Peers appointed to
investigate the case of General CUBIERES sat during
four hours on Saturday, and was again to assemble on
Sunday. Another search had been made in the do-
micile of M. PARIIENTIER.

There were rumours on Saturday that a political
conspiracy had been discovered, and that M. CoNst-
DERE, who has frequently been in custody as a poli-
tical offender, had been again arrested.
At Lille public tranquillity has been completely
restored.

The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de
l'Opera on Sunday at 77f. 95c.

The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel gives a Parlia-
mentary dinner on the 27th inst. to a very numerous circle.
The Right Hon. Baronet and Lady Peel and family left

shire, from whence they return to town on the 26th inst.
ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of
this society was held last evening at Finsbury Chapel. The
Right Hon. Dr. Lushington presided, and the Conde de
Montemolin was present at the proceedings. The report con-
gratulated. the subscribers to the society on the progress
which antislavery principles were making, although in some
places they had been considerably retarded. The receipts for
the year had been 1,715/. 13s. 6d. ; the expenditure 1,426/.
Gs. ; leaving a balance cf 2891. 7s. DA. to the credit of
the society. Sir George Strickland, in moving the adoption
of the report, severely denounced the conduct of the Ame-
ricans on account of their maintenance of slavery, but ex-
pressed his conviction that even in that country slavery
would, ere long, be extinct. The meeting was subsequently
addressed by Mr. Elihu Burritt, Mr. Sturge, Mr Hinton, and
others ; and resolutions deprecatory of the system of slavery
were adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman, which was
briefly acknowledged, closed the proceedings.
ROBBERY OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER ON TILL
HIGHWAY.—On Saturday night last Mr. James Gibson,
commercial traveller to the firm of Messrs. Thomas Gibson
and Co., hat-manufacturers, Castle.green, Bristol, while tra-
velling after dark, on the road between Cirencester and
Stroud, was attacked by three men, who rushed out suddenly
from the road side, seized the head of his horse, and then
dragged him from the gig, and used him with great violence.
One of them knocked him down, and then knelt on his chest
and gagged his meuth, to prevent his resisting or giving an
alarm, while a second plundered his person of his watch,
chain, and seals, and cash and notes to the value of between
1501. or 2001. Fortunately about 501. in sovereigns, which
was in the driving-box of the gig, escaped their notice. After
threatening him with further violence if he attempted to
pursue them, they decamped with their booty.

aIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUAI?TER TO THREE.
Tile Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm.
Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were Amerk.,an for export
and 000 on speculation. Prices were 1/sd. to Md. per lb.
higher than on Friday last for American. There were 4,000
bales American sold at 6d. to 714 d., 600 Surat at 370. to
0,40., and 40 Sea Island at 14d. to 17d. In Shares very
little was done, and prices were again lower.
There are no later arrivals from any quarter except Aus-
tralia, whence we have now the wool ships reaehing daily
with important additions to our supply. The sales which
have recently concluded have gone off quite as well as could
have been anticipated, but at a decline, nevertheless, of about
Id. per lb. on the lower qualities, the better descriptions, owing
to the small supply, realising nearly previous rates.
The advises from South Australia to-day are to January
13 inclusive, and they are of a very favourable tenor. Thu
colony progresses well, and in mining pursuits stands pre-
eminent.

The state of the food markets, and the effect that will
be produced on the exchanges by the imports of
grain when they commence actively, are still sub-
jects of anxious consideration, and respecting this
point opinions are conflicting. Of the ultimate arrival of
abundant supplies of food, and of the recent serious rise being
partly artificial, and produced by speculation, we entertain
no doubt, but unless our manufacturers are liberally aided
in their business operations by advances of capital, we must
look for a further drain of bullion. There are plenty of
orders from the United States, and as the execution of them
involves no risk, and the payment is certain, the Bank of
England must use every possible effort to favour advances
of money to the manufacturers upon terms which it may be
worth their while to accept. The exportation of goods can
alone check that of gold.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated Dublin,
the 16th inst., and written by an experienced party, who,
we believe, accompanied M. Sayer to that city :—" The use
of the kitchen which we erected I took upon myself to offer
to the South Dublin Relief Committee until the Ist of
November next, when the Act expires, and also my services at
a good remuneration, and should I be called away by Go-
vernment to find a person in my place. I have not only
agreed to make porridge and soup, but bread at I%d. per lb.
I shall have to produce every week 150,0001bsoof bread, and
as I find the temporary kitchen which we erected would not
he large enough for ovens, &c., I have got the committee to
take a large place containing stores, &c., well situated, and
having a good house for myself, gardens, and three acres of
ground, a small river running round the place. lam in
hope to begin there on ➢londay week. I only got pos-
session yesterday. I intend to erect a steam-engine for
the dough and also for the stirabout which we make. I
have now the purchase of all the provisions ; our consumption
is at present 4% tons of rice and 4% tons of Indian meal per
week, but in a short time it will be three times that. You
will perhaps not believe it, but they say that the people, al-
though starving, will not eat brown bread, and that all the
rye flour that was here is re-shipped for London."
The Funds have been very flat again to-day, and there
is an idea that even the increased interest upon Exchequer-
bills will not allow of their being kept in circulation, so that
a funding of some portion may possibly be resorted
to. We cannot expect an improvement in stocks
while such an apprehension hangs over the market. Con-
suls have been 86% % for transfer, and 86% 3/4 for account.
Exchequer-bills have been marked par to 1 premium. Bank
Stock is steady, at 189 to 190. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 863 to 87.
The Foreign Securities have been flat again. Spanish Three
per Cents. have been 333/4, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
341/1 %. Brazil Bonds have been 82. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 57% to 57%.
Railway Shares are heavy.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The May adjourned sessions for the county of Middlesex,
commenced this morning at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-
green, before the Assistant-Judge and a full Bench of Ala"
gistrates.
The names of 82 prisoners appeared for trial in the calen-
dar, of whom seven were charged with misdemeanour, the
remainder being indicted for felony. Of those, 46 were de-
scribed as able to te,ad and write imperfectly, 9 only ab!e
to read, and 27 wholly unacquaLited with either reading or
writing.
The AssisTitisT-JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jut',
said there was one most important matter with respect to
the effects likely to be produced upon females who were sen-
tenced to transportation, to which he could not allow the
present opportunity to pass without adverting—ha meant
,
that system of reformatory discipline which the Government
had established wtthin the last feur years in relation to the
female convicts in Van Dieman's Land. By that system the
colony of females received the best of moral and religious in-
struction, and were also instructed in such domestic duties as
would fit them for becoming useful members oftha society,
t
and when they showed by their conduct
they had availed themselves of the benefits of the systeini
tickets of leave were granted to them, and they were pls

there
William Burke, for picking pockets, against whom am,
were several previous convictions, was sentenced to tea Ye--
transportation.
Edward Aiken was indicted for stealing a purse containing
seven sovereigns and other monies, the property of Lothian
Nicholson, from his person.
The prosecutor, an officer in the Royal Engineers, N12,1:14
coming up from Woolwich by one of the steam boats, sul
upon the vessel reaching Blackwell he missed his purse,ske.l
recollecting that a man very like the prisoner, who can;
a cloak on his arm, had pressed closely against him, be
information to one of the pier police, who took the proeliZe
into custody. Six sovereigns were found upon him when
was searched, and he accounted for them by first saying.
that they were the result of his hard work as an umbrella
maker, and next that he got them from a young girl
.1';
whom he was about to be married. The prisoner dolga
that the cloak was his, but it was identified by a policeman es
belonging to the prisoner.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, the prisoner was a most not(27;
rious character, and always hanging about the Blacks
steam-vessels and piers, for the purpose of robbery ; aa,d"-
should, therefore sentence him to be transported for the 'sr,u
of ten years.

Thomas Sparrow, a cab driver, badge No. 2,535, aPPesi— n

in answer to a summons charging him with making use -
abusive language to Mr. David Falake, 394, Oxford•street-
The complainant stated that on Saturday, the Bth install
about a quarter to one o'clock, he called the defendant's en
off the rank opposite the American stores in Oxford-streetj
and told him (the defendant) to drive to Park-lane, ant
from thence to Grosvenor-square, when he got out for abea,
a minute. He then ordered him to drive him (compleinalti
to 36, Park-street, mid then to No. 107 in the..
street, at each of those places he remained aboutt
five minutes. Complainant then desired defendant
to drive him back to Oxford-street. Instead of drive
ing him to his own residence, defendant dray;
to No. 384, where complainant got out and offered defends!'
Is, 6d. for his fare. Defendant refused to take the money'
and said What do
some elver

fplainant then took some silver from his pocketpoand told de7
ondant to take what he thought was his fare. Defendan:
replied that he was not going 'to be given in charge ftold
robbery, and declined taking any. Complainant then
the defendant that he lived at No. 394, and that be couldr.
have redress by summonsing him. Defendant would neither
do one thing or the other, and began to abuse him and en!:
him a swindler, and said he (complainant) should In
swindle him. Complainant then said that hi.
would would summons the defendant, who replied that „,,v.
did not care, as he had got plenty of 111°,." It •
Complainant was then surrounded by a mob
least one hundred persons, who hooted him and pushed J.
3'r:
about. At length a neighbour, who saw the predicament
which he was placed, came to his assistance, and wisheaF!r.
to come into his house; but the defendant refused to let DLit
go, and detained him till his (complainant's) brother 5.!;
and paid the defendant 25., who returned 4d. chana ge. Liu ho

plainant then managed to get away, followed by

Mr. Wontner, who attended for the defendant, called petal
witnesses, who proved that the complainant was very abn:l4o
and excited, and that the defendant was remarkably
and temperate in his behaviour. the
Mr. BINGHAIf, after going through the whole of

evidence, dismissed the summons, and ordered --,
plainant to pay the costs.
