THE SUN, LONDON', FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1841.

him, amidst the cordial greetings of the National
Guards and numerous spectators who went out in the
morning to meet him. At the Gate of Alcala he was
addressed by the Corporation in a congratulatory and
complimentary speech. From this point to the Palaco his
reception by guards, troops of the line, and the people,
was one continued succession of cheers and rejoicings,
acknowledged in his usual admirable manner. Though
suffering from a cold, he appeared in excellent spirits, and
much pleased with the hearty welcome of the people. To
the spectators in the balconies of the British Embassy
opposite, his acknowledgments were particularly marked.
Preceded by the Corporation, and followed by a nume-
rous escort of general officers, cavalry of the line, and
of the National Guard, he proceeded direct to the Palace,
without stopping at the Town-hall, the battalion of Na-
tional Guards, who went out to meet him in the morning,
bringing up the rear of the procession. On arriving
there the carriage drove up to the foot of the grand
staircase, the scene of the terrible events of the memo-
rable night of the 7th, and was received by her Majesty
in the Throne-room. The meeting, I am told, by one
present, was truly affecting. The ambition of the
Duke to serve the interests, and resign unimpaired into
the hands of her Majesty, on coming of age, the trust
reposed in him by her and her subjects, has become
in him a feeling of paternal affection. Young as is
the Queen, I have every reason to believe that she
fully appreciates his services and dispositions towards
her. Having stopped about half an hour with the
Queen and Infanta, and appeared with the former
at the principal balcony of the Palace, to the great
gratification of the people, who were assembled in large
numbers below in the Court-yard, he proceeded to his
own house in the street of Alcala by the same route
he entered, and still accompanied by the Cor-
poration and escort stated above. If importance
were now attached to omens, a favourable one
might be formed of the Duke's visit to the
Palace of Queen Isabel. While engaged with the Queen
in the Throne-room, I observed three magnificent eagles
wheeling exactly over the Palace for nearly a quarter
of an hour, to the no small annoyance of the innume-
rable pigeons that inhabit the exterior " attics" of that
noble building, and which were kept in a sort of pro-
nuneiamento all the time by the presence of their serial
sovereigns.

There is but little political news in the
Paris Journals. The rumours in the poli-

tical circles were, that a dissolution of the Cham-
bers was solved upon ; that the Ministers
would be defeated at the elections; and that a
modification of the Cabinet would take place.

The last is the only rumour to which we attach
any degree of credit. The Chambers are about
to enter upon their last session, and the KING is
sensible that he could not hope to gain anything
by their dissolution. As a majority of the members
would readily support a Cabinet in which M.
TIMERS, M. MONTALIVET, or M. MOLE had a
seat, provided the first-named little gentleman
did not figure again as Minister of Foreign Af-
fair, it is very likely that some changes in the
Ministry will take place. The mercantile world
has but little confidence in M. HUMANN, the Mi-

nister of Finance, and at Court he is anything
but a favourite. His, therefore, will be the first
dismissal. No Minister ever was more popular
abroad than M. GUIZOT, but at home he is re-
garded with the utmost suspicion. We there-
fore consider his retirement from office as ex-
ceedingly probable. Europe will regret this,
but a day is not distant when France will lament

it still more.
The French Government appears to think
that the Turkish expedition menaces Tunis more
than Greece. Should such be the case—which
we do not believe—France will be placed in a
position of considerable difficulty. She has
pledged herself to support the Bey of Tunis;
but, were a naval force sent against him, she
could not do this without countenancing the
rebellion of a vassal, and thus justifying the
joint interference of England, Austria, Russia,
and Prussia, who are bound by the Treaty of the
13th July, to maintain the integrity of the
Turkish empire.

The Courrier Francais has, with astonish-
ing naivete discovered that Mr. BANKHEAD,
our Ambassador at Constantinople, is the author
of the correspondence published in the London
papers, attributing to France the attempt to em-
broil Turkey in a quarrel with Greece. The au-
thor of this ingenious discovery will be telling us
next, we suppose, that Mr. BANKHEAD was the
author of Madame DE SEVIGNE'S Letters, and
that Count DE PONTOIS assisted PASCAL in the
composition of his thoughts !
It is affirmed that the Council of Ministers has been
engaged during several sittings in discussing a law on
the Regency. This very important question is, in fact,
not decided by the charter.
The Journal de la Vendee of the 27th of this month
says the Magistrates have opposed the intended marriage
of the Abbe Guicheteau to a young woman of Pouille.
The marriage, which was to have been solemnised 42n
Tuesday last, did not take place.
The Barcelona Journals which we have received are
to the 23d ult. It was said that the state of Leige would
be continued till after the re-organisation of the National
Guard. M. Valdes, formerly Chief Magistrate of Bar-
celona, and M. Gisherge, Deputy of the ex-Junta, having
been summoned to appear before the Military Commis-
sion, have refused to answer, not acknowledging the
authority of that tribunal.
The Sabine and Dunori French ships of war sailed
from Pensacola on the 14th of October. They had lost
ten men of their crews by the yellow fever, which raged
there. Arnow, them was M. Michael, the surgeon of
the Sabine, whoi died in the United States' Hospital after

six days' illness.—Le Commerce.
A woman at Duysburg, in Belgium, aged 39, and who
had never had any children, is mentioned by the Inde-
pendant of Brussels as having just been brought to bed
of three children, a boy and two girls.
The Phare of Bayonne states that on the night of the
19th inst., during a violent storm, a shock of earthquake
was felt at Biarrita, and along the coast from Boucau to
Hendaye.
It appears that it was the roadway planking of the
suspension-bridge at Blagnac, in the Dordogne, which
gave way the other day, and not the suspending chains.
The waggon which was going over at the time was
laden with several heavy pieces of iron machinery. The
waggoner hung on by the bars of the bridge, and was
not thrown into the water ; and only one person out of
five (not eight, as was stated), who were precipitated into
the water, was drowned. All the horses, except the one
in the shafts, perished.
The trial of Messrs. Arzac, Gasc, and Roaldes, late
Mayor and Deputy Mayors of Toulouse, for unduly
exercising ther functions as such after the Prefect had
sent to them the Royal Ordonnance for their dismissal
(the full particulars of which we gave at the time of the
disturbances in that city), has been pending before the
Correctional Tribunal of Pau for several days. The
sentence was given on Saturday, when the accused per-
sons were condemned to the penalty of 100 f. each and
costs. The defence set up was that the Royal Ordon-
nance contained a legal informality by not stating the
day for the re-election of the Municipal Councillors ;
but this was over-ruled. Messrs. Arzac, Gasc, and Roal-
des immediately gave notice of their intention to appeal
against the sentence.
N. de Rubelles, editor of the Journal du Bourbonnais,
has been fined 50 francs by the Correctional Tribunal of
Moulins, for wearing a foreign order without special
permissifm.
The Co: rier de la Gironde of Bordeaux states that M.
Loste has been named Juge-Commissaire in the bank-
ruptcy of Messrs. Balguerie. " This nomination," it
adds, " premiseg an active and conscientious liquida-
tion." The Globe says that several stoppages of firms
have occurred at Bordeaux simultaneously with that of
Messrs. Balguerie.
The prosecution by :lie family of the late M. Laffarge
against the Indicateur of Tulle, for the libel we have
already more than once noticed, was brought to trial on
the 18th inst., before the Correctional Tribunal of that
place. The case was argued with great warmth and
ability by the advocates of both parties ; but the Tri-
bunal decided against the accused, and condemned the
responsible editor to pay a fine of 300 E, and damages of
600 f., and to the insertion of the judgment, at his own
expense, in the Gazette des Tribuuaux, the Album de la
Corr eze, the Progres, and the Indic a teur.

Lord Brougham has added his name to the
distinguished list of subscribers to the forthcom-
ing " Addresses to Youth."

the most ready and permanent influence on the minds of
those who attend them—are irrelevant. We are not
astonished at his Lordship's declaration ' that he under-
stands not the object of such opposition' when he thinks
fit to dispose of all doctrinal differences, embracing opi-
nions even the most schismatical or heterodox, under a
general category of these or those special theological
tenets,' which ought never to disqualify for the chair of
Poetry at a Protestant University ! Of all the liberalism
we have yet heard preached—that liberalism which, in
matters of religion, is distinguished by an almost imper-
ceptible gradation of characteristics from latitudinarian-
ism,—we never remember to have heard any proposition
suggested so mischievous or indefinite."
MONEY—TRADE—CONZIKERCE.
The Editor of the New York Herald boasts that the
Federal Government of the United States, with the ex-
ception of a trifling loan, is the only one in the world
out of debt, and added, by way of postscript, " Perhaps
the Chinese Government may be out of debt, but we
don't know certainly." Brother Jonathan has the can-
dour, alas, to admit that though the Federal Govern-
ment is out of debt the State Governments owe the
trifling sum of two hundred million dollars (40,000,0000

NAVAL AND MILITARY.
During the heavy gale on the 24th ult., the schooner
James Cook, of Limerick, bound from Sligo to Glasgow,
struck on the Galshedy Rock, and immediately went to
pieces. The master and nine of the crew were unfortu-
nately drowned, and only one man saved.
A numerous meeting of the Surgeons of the Royal
Navy, was held on Wednesday at the Thatched House Ta-
vern, to vote some testimonial to Sir Wm. Burnett, Phy-
sician-General of the Navy, in token of the high respect
and esteem in which he is held by the medical officers of
the service. It was stated at the meeting that 9511. had
already been subscribed, and, agreeably to the wishes of
the Physician-General, it was resolved to have his por-
trait painted by Sir Martin Shee, and an engraving pre-
sented to each subscriber ; the residue to be expended in
purchasing a service of plate for Sir William.
LAW AND POLICE. _ _

At Marlborough. street yesterday, a young fashionable
gentleman, said to belong to a noble family, but who
assumed ie vulgar name of Smith, was charged with at-
tempting to wrench off .two door knockers in Piccadilly
this morning, about two o'clock, and having one in his
possession, supposed to be stolen. He was accompanied
by several respectable looking gentlemen, and when
asked what he had to say for himself, the usual question
put by Magistrates to thieves, his reply was " I think I
had taken too much wine." Upon which Mr. Maltby
said "I shall fine you 31, and in default of payment
commit you to the House of Correction for fourteen
days." Having pulled out a well filled purse and smiled
at the idea of a man with plenty of money being sent to
the treadmill, he handed over the amount to the gaoler
and walked off.

FINE ARTS.
The Wellington statue, the commission for which was
in the hands of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, will be
completed by Mr. Weeks, who has for some time had
the entire execution of the models brought under the
superintendence of the late lamented artist.
COURT-FASHIONABLE.
Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence, changed horses, on Tuesday, at
the George Hotel, on his way to the seat of the Earl of
Cardigan, and was welcomed with cheers by the inhabi-
tants of the town of Northampton.
The Marquis of Titchfield has returned to Harcourt-
house, Conduit-square.
The Earl and Countess of Fortescue left Grosvenor-
square yesterday, for Castle Hill, Devon.
The Dowager Countess of Mansfield is on her return

visit to the Earl and Countess of Lauderdale, in Scotland.
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are on a visit to
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Trentham Hall,
Lord Melbourne and Lord and Lady Leveson are ex-
pected to join the party.
The Hon. H. Law, brother of Lord Ellenborough, has
arrived at Southam Hall, which it is understood he will
occupy with his family, during the absence of his noble
brother in India. _ _ _

Prince Nicholas Estarhaay, while hunting with Mr.
Drake's hounds in the neighbourhood of Middleton Park,
the seat of Lord Jersey, met with an unfortunate acci-
dent which caused the death of a valuable horse, but the
Prince escaped unhurt.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A very fatal disorder, described as the black fever, has
recently made fearful ravages among the rural popula-
tion of the village of Akendale, in Yorkshire.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TIIURSDAY EVENING.

There was less business doing in the Funds to-day,
but this had a favourable effect upon prices, owing to the
absence of sellers. We shall have a dull time till
Christmas, as most of the principal Stocks are closed
to public investment, unless for special transfers, pre-
paratory to the payment of the dividends. For immedi-
ate transfer Consols realised 89 to 89+, and for the open-
ing 89+ to 89g. Exchequer'Bills were steady at Bs. to
10s. premium, and India Bonds par to 2s. premium.
Bank Stock rallied to 164 and 164 L. India Stock was
not dealt in. New Three-and-a-half per Cents. were
98t to 99i.
The re-action in the Foreign Market has already com-
menced, Spanish Bonds taking the lead, as many parties
are disposed to realise their profits on the late advance.
The variation in the Active Spanish Bonds was from
24+ to 23k, and PassiveS were dull at 54. The Treasury
Bonds were quoted 29+. The South American Stocks
gave way a little. Colombian were at 208 to 201, and
Mexican at 251 to 25+. Chilian was an exception, being
at a slight improvement, to 72. Brazilian got up to
584 and 59. French Five per Cent. Rentes were worth
115 f. 75c., and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
52 to 521.
We have to notice again a comparatively dull market
for the Railway Shares. Great Western 15, Birming-
ham 68, York and North Midland'37, and South West-
ern 17+ premium. Brighton were 15 to 141-, North
Midland 35, Manchester and Leeds 10, the New 5, and
Northern and Eastern 12+ discount. Australasian Bank
Shares were 12+ to 13 premium.
