SPAIN.

The Chambers are summoned by decree to meet on
Monday next, at two o'clock, in the Saloon of the Senate,
to witness the swearing in of the new guardian of the
Queen, Don Augustin Arguelles. Trifling in itself as
this ceremonial might appear, a knowledge of the secret
working of party enables me to assure you that it has
been sought to make it a matter of serious importance,
and a means of overturning the present Cabinet.
The Minister intends, it is said, to propose, one of these
days, the substitution of regular officers of the Spanish
navy for those now in command on board the vessels of
the coast-guard company of Lane and Ors. The step is
useful as preparatory to the rescinding of the contract.
The Spanish Government are well aware of the inten-
tions and practices of this now nearly defunct asswiation
of smugglers.
The projects of law for the support of the clergy and
public worship, and consequent sale of Church property,
are still under discussion in the Chamber. Several of
the articles have already been approved.

THE MURDER AT NORWICH.
CONFESSION OF THE MURDERER.
John Self, the young, man convicted cn Wednesday of
the murder of Jemima Samson, has, since his conviction,
made an ample confession of his guilt. It will be recol-
lected, that he and his victim were working on Saturday
week in the same field, and he states, that when they
were getting their dinner he took some liberties with her,
which she resented, threatening to acquaint her mother,
and they bad some words about it. On their way home
he attempted to appease her, and to induce her to say
nothing about it, but she persisted in her resolution, and
he thereupon turned round and deliberately-struck her
a most violent blow on the head with a spade. This
felled her, and he gave her two or three similar blows
and threw her into a ditch, where he left her. As he
he looped at the unfortunate girl, and
was going
seeing her "away,
quivering' in in the ditch, he dragged her
forth and threw the body into the pond in which it was
afterwards found. The prisoner then continued his
journey homeward, and on his way met and conversed
with two or three young men whom he knew with the
utmost unconcern, and on his arrival at home he set
about finishing a straw hat which he was making for one
of his brothers, as coolly and unconcerned as if nothing
unusual had occurred ! It is unnecessary to add that he
is left for execution, and his untimely fate excites no
sympathy in any quarter.

We learn that her Majesty has been graciously
pleased to rant a pension of 2001. a year, on the Civil
List, to Lay Jeremle, the afflicted widow of Sir John
jeremie, late Governor of Sierra Leone.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW .S.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

-- CHRONICLE.--The financial and commercial r-!-
forms enunciated in the Whig budget of 1841, and in .. i
especial the proffered boon of the repeal of the breasi,
tax, are prizes worth fighting for, and render the return..!
of the Whig party to power at an early period necessary'
as the means of securing them to the nation? unless the-,
Peel Cabinet should bring forward similar measures, an& i.
proceed with the revision of the tariff on imports, se
soon as the new Government is definitely constituted .
and the preliminary steps are tone through in the Parlia-
ment about to nss emble. Wt shall not stop to consider the I
point of political consistency connected with the propound-
ing of such. measures bx those who were chosen for
the special purpose of pr eventing their success. T134,,!;1.
a point l-/eyond the sphere of our department, ana
which th e majority of the new Parliament must settle
amongst. themselves. We are contented to state the fact,
and to leave Conservative statesmen to arrange the con-
sequences to their party. It is plain, however, that the
doom of monopoly is sealed, and that no section of po-
litical men can conduct, the Government of this country
with success., unless t'e.e.y adopt a liberal system of com-
mercial policy. T 1 he, people are too enlightened to
submit to taxatior., in order to supply the deficiency
in the public ex
.chequer, after a practicable scheme
has been brou7:nt forward by the responsible advisers
of the Crown to increase the revenue to the amount
of 6,000,000'
1. sterling per annum, by reducing the
taxes on t ae chief necessaries of life, and approxi-
mating to the principles of free trade by a judicious
relaxation
A of the duties charged upon articles imported
for hem a use and consumption. Various schemes, no
doubt, have been hinted at as likely to be adduced in-
stead . by Sir Robert Peel to equalise the public revenue
and. expenditure, but all of them founded on the assump-
ti ..m that lie will either propose new taxes or have re-
course to a funding of Exchequer Bills, or a loan, as an
expedient to give him time to take that calm, " compre-
hensive view of the financial position of the country"
, which he intimated to his followers in the defunct Par-

liament would be his special business, should the past
elections (as they have unequivocally done) return a
majority of his supporters.
It is cer'inly quite in the power of the embryo Mi-
nister of Vinance to fund Exchequer Bills preparatory
to the issue of a fresh batch of them, but by so doing he
will accept the rejected offal which his predecessor
spurn ad, and add several millions more to the public debt,
for w hich taxationnuist still be the final provision. It
would be a far more business-like thing for him to come
fiarward at once as a borrower in the Money Market,
which he might do to the extent of 10,000,0001. at the
present rate of Consols, without doing much to pro-
duce a depression in price, for the London capitalists
would readily supply him to that extent, and the
additional business it would give the jobbers would
render the proposal popular on the Stock Exchange.
But whe;ther Sir Robert Peel should give notice of a
funding of Exchequer Bills or issue notices for re-
ceiving tenders for a new loan, the one or the other, or
both, are neither more nor less than pitiful make-shifts ;
temporary expedients to afford breathing-time ; a mere
putting off of the evil day ; and let him take one or the
other, or both, they will make an increase to the public
debt of from. 8,000,0001. to 10,000,0001., to provide for
which new taxes must ultimately be imposed. To that
complexion must he come at last, while by the adoption
of such a irdserable hand-to-mouth system of financial
patch-work, the root of the evil remains untouched, for
neither by a funding or a direct loan, to plug the hole in
the Exchequer, would any fillip be given to trade. The
mill-owners would not be enabled to turn their short
hours into full working time, nor would a single mouth-
ful more bread be distributed amongst the thousands of
destitute, starving families, that crowd the streets of, our
manufacturing towns.
TIMES.—The letters from Manchester allude in de-
sponding terms to the depression of business, which had
within the hast, week been increased by the numerous
Scottish fail'ams. The joint-stock banks of Manchester
are accused, in the first instance, of having produced
these deplo-mble results by their imprudent advances to
parties whc se great aim was to turn a large amount of
business v,rithout considering the unsoundness of the
basis upon. which it was conducted • and it is mentioned
that one suspended firm had acknowledged having turned
with the assistance of these institutions, 130,000/., upon
a 6,000/. capital. Such was the distressed condition
of the operatives in consequence of the stagnation of
business, that we are told about 800 hand-loom-
weavers were out of employment, and exposed to
the horrors of starvation. An appeal on their be-
half has bean got up, addressed to the " merchants,
manufacturers, and gentry," particularly of Manchester
and its vicinity. It is stated that many of these poor
fellows have not the means of providing food either for
their families or themselves for a single day.
The meeting of creditors for the choice of assignees
in the bankruptcy of Daintry, kyle, and Co., was to take
place on the 3d proximo. The yearly meeting of the
Ashton, Stalybrid,ge, Hyde, and Glossop Bank, was held
on the 30th, and. the report stated that no losses had
been incurred (luring the year, but that 71 per cent. pro-
fit had been mnee upon the paid up capital, upon which
5 per cent was. divided, and the remainder ordered to
be carried to 'le "reserved fund," to meet any future
contingencies.,

The-folloNving letter was written by the Spanish Mi-
nister of Fi'lance to a gentleman in the city, who had re-
quested to know whether it was the intention of the
Government to capitalise the overdue interest into a
three per cent, stock :--

" Madrid, July 21,1841.
" Sir,—ln reply to your obliging letter of the 7th instunt,
I beg to say the Spanish Government has always entertained
the most favourable opinion of the loyalty of the foreign
bondholders, and is convinced they will take into considera-
tion the evils and disasters which have been .caused in this
unhappy countxy by a most cruel civil war of seven years'
duration. In 4:onsenuence I have thought it my duty to ca-
pitalise the overdwi coupons, and exchange the.,l for a three
per cent. stock, as it. was announced and promised in the de-
cree of the st of January last. Orders have therefore been
given to cap, Aite the new bonds necessary for the conversion ;
and the Go'fernment, you may be assured, will not neglect
any measures leading to the fulfilment of the promises that
have bee'a made to foreign creditors, being anxious to attend
to all their claims.

" i have the honour, Sir, to subscribe myself,
" Your most obedient servant,
" P. S. RULL."

FREE TRADE—LIMITED DUTIES
OF GOVERNMENT.
So much is at present said, and so little under-
stood, on the above subjects that we have thought
the following passages from the " Wealth of
Nations," would now not be unacceptable. Adam
Smith says :
Whatever, besides, tends to diminish in any country
the number of artificers and manufacturers, tends to di-
minish the home market, the most important of all mar-
kets for the rude produce of the land, and thereby still
further to discourage agriculture.
Those systems, therefore, to all other employments,
in order to promote' it, impose restraints upon manufac-
tures and foreign trade, act contrary to the very end
which they propose, and indirectly discourage that very
species of industry which they mean to promote. They
are so far, perhaps, moro consistent than even the
mercantile system. That system, by encouraging manu-
factures and foreign trade more than agriculture, turns
a certain portion of the capital of the society from sup-
porting a more advantageous to support a less
.advan-
tageous species of industry. But still it really, and in
the end, encourages that species of industry which it
means to promote. Those agricultural systems, on the
contrary, really, and in the end, discourage their own
favourite species of industry.
It is thus that every system which endeavours either
by extraordinary encouragements, to draw towards a par-
ticular species of industry a greater share of the ca-
pital of the society than what would naturally go to it,
or by extraordinary restraints to force from a particular
species of industry some share of the capital which
would otherwise be employed in it, is, in reality, sub-
versive of the great purpose which it means to promote.
It retards, instead of accellerating, the progress of the
society towards real wealth and greatness ; and dimi-
nishes, instead of increasing, the real value of the annual
produce of its land and labour.
All systems, either of preference or of restraint, there-
fore, being thus completely taken away,. the obvious and
simple system of natural liberty establishes itself of its
own accord. Every man, as long as he does not violate
the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his
own interest his own way, and to bring both his in-
dustry and capital into competition with those of any
other man or order of men. The Sovereign is completely
discharged from a duty, in attempting to perform which Ise
must always be exposed to innumerable delusions, and for
the performance of which no human wisdom or knowledge
could ever be sufficient, the ditty of superintending the
industry of private people, and of directing it towards
the employment most suitable to the interests of the so-
ciety. ACCORDING TO THE SYSTEM OF NATURAL LIBERTY,
THE SOVEREIGN HAS ONLY THREE DUTIES TO ATTEND
TO ; THREE DUTIES OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, INDEED,
BUT PLAIN AND INTELLIGIBLE TO COMMON UNDER-
STANDING—FIRST, THE DUTY OF PROTECTING THE
SOCIETY FROM THE INVASION OF OTHER INDE-
PENDENT SOCIETIES ; SECONDLY, THE DUTY OF
PROTECTING, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, FROM THE
INJUSTICE OR OPPRESSION OF EVERY OTHER MEM-
BER OF IT, OR THE DUTY or ESTABLISHING AN EXACT.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE; AND, THIRDLY, THE DUTY
OF ERECTING AND MAINTAINING CERTAIN PUBLIChieh i t

persons, was mudered, lastuight in a hou.ee not 100 yards
, distant from my residence. The victims i
were a French
widow of the name of Lobo, her daughter about is
1 years of age, her son a boy of twelve years, and a ser-
Tant woman. The alarm was first given (=fortunately
l'oo late) by a young Englishman, who lives in the house
ocPosite, and who having heard a scuffle and seen a man
go :o the balcony and throw a little dog out, which he
10:ew was a great pet of the family, immediately suspected
that .something wrong was going on, and at once ran off
to
call
L'he police guard. Meanwh.ile some other neigh-
bours who ' had heard the noise, ard were looking out
to see what was the matter, saw a man leap out of
the first floor re.'ndow and run on. This took place at
about one o'clock .in the morning. Shortly * after the
police came, and hay..V forced the doors open, found
the mother, the little bvy. a„-rd the servant d, Aad ; but
the girl, who was still alive, cri.'d out, as soon & she saw
them, that the murderer was her' own cousin .Lobo, a
student of . medicine, living at No. 4, lira de 5... Bento,
and that he had had no accomplice in the .deed. Imme-
diately the guard set out in quest of him, and seized
him in a few minutes after he had reached his I_ some,
where they found him with his hands and do Vies
steeped in blood, and with a quantity of bank not es
and Government bends, of which he had plunderer I
his victims, about his person. He was at osaaa
brought back and confronted with the girl, who again
declared that he was •the murderer, and that he had_
requested her mother to allow him to stay in the
house that night as his servant had died that evening,
and he did not like to pass the night in the same house
with a corpse. The girl died at nine o'clock this morn-
ing, but fortunately for the ends of justice she lived long
enough to give the fullest evidence, but for which the
wretch would in all probability have escaped, as lre was
to have gone by the steamer to Oporto next day, an,i his
relationship to the family would have screened him 1.-orn
suspicion. The sensation caused by this dreadful crime
has been so great that I have just heard that the Minis-
ter ofjustice has gone down to the Cortes to propose,.
that by a legislative act the multitude of dilatory forms
by which trials are protracted for years in this country
should be dispensed with in this instance, and that the
criminal should be tried by a summary process and e.xe.
cuted without delay.

MELANCHOLY CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
—On Sunday morning last an elderly labouring man,
named John May, who has brought up two grandsons
at Laindon Hills, Essex, their mother being dead, de-
sired one of them to go to church, when, the lad re-
fusing, a quarrel ensued, and the old man turning
round hastily, with an oil bottle in his hand, swinging-
it, struck him with it in the temple, which caused a
concussion of the brain, and unhappily occasioned the
boy's death. An inquest has been held; and a verdict
of " Manslaughter" returned against the grandfather,
who has been committed to the Convict Gaol, Spring-
field, on the Coroner's warrant. The prisoner, who is
between sixty and seventy years of age, and bears the
highest character, evinces the most distressed feelings.
Deceased's name was John Parker, and he was about
sixteen years old.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Lieutenant Harvey, who
is said to have belonged to the Royal Navy, and had
been resident in Calcutta for about a month, was found
dead on Sunday evening, in a room at Spence's Hotel,
the body appearing to be in an advanced state of de-
composition. The deceased had come round from Bom-
bay, and was living at Spence's. He is said to have
indulged in intemperate habits to an inordinate degree,
to whtch is ascribed his sudden death.—Hurkaru, June 1.•
SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO AK
INFANT.—Late on Saturday night an inquest was taken
before Mr. Payne, at the Bell, Great Tower-street, City.
on the body of Sarah Ann Batterley, aged ten months.
The deceased's father was a private in the Ist Regiment
of Grenadier Guards, quartered in the Tower. About
nine o'clock on Friday morning the mother left the
room in which the deceased was for the purpose
of fetching a pitcher of water, the child at the time
being on the floor playing with a small toy. In.
another part of the room a washing-tub was on the floor
half filled with water, and during the mother's absence
the child crawled towards it, and, haring thrown the toy'
into the water, raised herself on to her feet and tried to
get it out ; in doing so she overbalanced herself, and her
head being immersed in the water she w:as suffocated.
Five minutes after her mother came into the .r°°ll2. and
raised an alarm. A surgeon tried the usual reOlevues;
but without effect. Verdict, " Accidental death." • •
On the 24th of this month the gamekeeper of
Mr. W. Nelson Clarke, at Aberuchill Castle, in St-ath-
earn, flushed in an oak coppice wood a brood of
woodcocks, consisting of two old birds and 'hive
young ones. Of, the latter he nearly caught one, a s
it rose with difficulty. A few days after Mr. Clarke
himself flushed two old and two young birds of the same:
kind in another wood, besides a single old bird in a
different part .of the cover. Not long since another
gentleman in the neighbourhood flushed a brood in the
park at Drummond castle. It is probable that more
birds of this species breed in Scotland than is generally
supposed, for in the vast extent of natural wood which
exists in the Highlands, there is so little disturbance
during the summer months, that many birds may remain
without exciting observation. The wood in which the
above were seen is quite open and hollow underneath.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night
a man who was proceeding over Blackfriars-bridge was
observed by police constable Roe, 356, suddenly to
stagger and fall. Roe immediately ran to his azsistance,
when he discovered that the poor man was in a state of
insensibility, and with the assistance of Sergeant Taplin
he conveyed him upon a stretcher to the station-house,
where he was promptly attended by the surgeon, who
opened a vein in the aria, but no blood would flow. The
body was afterwards conveyed to the Bridewell bone-
house for identification, and to await a Coroner's inquest.
It is dressed in a dark coat and trousers and plaid wait t-
coat, and has the appearance of being that of a working::
mechanic.

The mackarel season still lingers on, but very
few fine fish have been caught, and these have fetched'.
255. to 30s. per hundred. Trawl fish is very plentiful,
soles being retailed as low as from 3d. to 4d. per lb.
Whiting is also exceedingly cheap, a score being pur-
chasable for about a shilling.—Brighton Herald.

PROPERTY OF MADAME DE FEUCHERES.— •
The Royal ordonnance authorising the administration of
the Hospitals to accept the donation made by the Baron
de Feucheres of all the property which he may inherit
from the late Baroness has been signed by the King.
CANTERBURY HOPS.—The plantations present
no alteration that is worth notice. The bine continues
to look healthy, and many grounds are coming into
burr very fast. If congenial weather follow the planters
may confidently anticipate a good crop.
At a Court held on Monday last of the Gover-
nors of St. Thomas's Hospital, Sir John Cowan, Bart.,
Alderman, in the chair, Mr. John Flint South, many
years connected with the Hospital, was elected surgeon
in the room of Mr. Travers, resigned.
DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—
On Saturday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the House
of Correction, Coldbath-fields, on the body of Elizabeth
Marshall, aged 23, a prisoner therein. The parents of
the deceased were persons highly respectable. While
under their roof deceased, who was of prepossessing ap-
pearance, fell a victim to a seducer, who subsequently
deserted her. Shortly afterwards she abandoned her
home to pursue a life of infamy.. On the 16th ult.

DESPERATE ASSAULT.-011 Saturday last as
Major Smith, who commands a detachment of the 15th
Regiment of Foot, at present in Deptford Dock-yard,
was passing down the Lower-road, Deptford, he met a
private named Duckwood, who was in a state of intoxi-
cation. Major Smith desired him to go to barracks.
The man walked for a few moments, when he suddenly
turned round and struck Major Smith a violent blow, at
the same time exclaiming "You once caused me to be
flogged, you b--, and now you may shoot me." Major Smith
instantly called for the assistance of some persons to secure
the soldier, when two privates, who were in a public-house
close to the spot, ran out for the purpose of doing so,
when Duckwood kicked one in a dangerous part of the
body, and he fell to the ground. Some persons, seeing
the violent and determined conduct of Duckwood, ran to
the Docks and procured a guard, and he was, after con-
siderable resistance, handcuffed and taken to the barracks
by upwards of twenty soldiers. On the following morn-
ing he was brought in custody before Major Smith,
when he appeared fully sensible of the awful situation in
which his conduct had placed him, the offence of which
he had been guilty rendering him liable, acoording to the
articles of war, to be shot. He expressed the greatest
sorrow and contrition for his conduct, and Major Smith
after properly admonishing him, ordered him to be con-
fined to barracks for two months. Such a lenient sen-
tence for so unprovoked an assault is much talked of by
the soldiers in the Dockyard.
LAURENCERIRK.—CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.
—Some time ago, a piece of Brussels late that had been
laid out in Dr. Fettes' garden, suddenly disappeared, and
was missing for some time, till a bird-nester, in his pe-
rambulations, discovered it, in a blackbird's nest in she
e
garden hedge. The whole piece of lace—nearly
two
yards—,•was beautifully interwoven with the crust of the
nest, and was of course allowed to remain untouched.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES,

The most brilliant on the records of the turf, were
brought to a close on Friday. The fine weather of the
preceding day was - succeeded 1-7 a cloudy atmosphere
and chilling breezes, and in the attendance of visitors
there was a marked falling off. We subjoin further par-
ticulars of the races, sent from the course.
. .

Nassau Stakes.—Lord Exeter's filly went off' with
the lead, followed by The Witch of Whorled Hill and
Australia, the latter having the Nonsense filly by her
side, to the distance, where Australia went up to the
Greenmantle filly, and at the stand challenged her, but
was defeated, after a smart race home, by half a length.
The Nonsense filly a respectable third, and beat the
Witch cleverly; Delusive beaten off.
The Produce Stakes.—Prince Caradoc was firstoff,
but was soon headed by Buffalo, who went on at a true
pace, followed by The Prince and Mr. Rush's colt, Ralph,
and Abydos, together with Eringo and Marshal Soult
behind them. These positions were maintained to the
turn into the straight running, where Mr. Rush's colt
was beaten off, and Ralph closed with his horses. Prince
Caradoc then went to Buffalo, and ran with him to the
distance; here the latter fell off, and Eringo and Abydos
joined the front rank. Prince Caradoc went on with the
lead to the stand, where Eringo went up close to the
lower rails, Ralph making his rush at the same moment
on the other side, Abydos lying between him and PrincA
Caradoc. A fine race ensued 'between the four, and
ended in favour of Ralph, who bore upon the Prince and
Abydos by a head; Eringo, by Ralph's swerving, getting
the second place, and beating Caradoc by about half a
length. Abydos was close to the latter at the finish,
Buffalo some lengths behind this lot, Marshal Soult sixth,
and Mr. Rush's last.
Chesterfield. Cup.—Mus made the running, followed
by a rush of horses to the distance, where Maroon Dr.
Caius, and Garry Owen joined him, and they ran nearly
abreast to within a few strides of home, when the Dr.
headed the lot, and won by half a length. The Corsair
and Perseus were well up with Garry Owen. This is
the third year in succession that Lord Eglinton has won

this cup.
First Class of the March Stakes.—Sherbet took the
lead, followed by Capote, with the Busk filly in waiting.
Half way between the turn and the distance Amnia.
made a push for the front, but failed, and at the distance
fell behind in company with Sherbet. Capote went on
with the running, the Busk filly
to the post, where he made a rush and wor
by
indifferent third, and the half
others
• length ; Sherbet was an an
beaten off.
Second Class.—The favourite had it all his own way,
and won by three lengths.
THE ORLEANS CUP.
This race was one of the slowest ever run, and, as
far
followed
b y
Hyllus was concerned, was run undei-ver)-
suspicions
circumstances. Aspatria went off in front
Mus, Hyllus third, and Mustapha last. At the turn out
Mus, passed the filly, but with so little improvement in
the speed, that on reaching 'the Craven startt nigr; post
nearly four minutes had elapsed. It contina_ d
c.: the
saline way round the clump,' but mended slibhtly. in
rising the hill for the last turn, the positions remaining
as before. Aspatria was beaten at the distance,and
Buckle (to whom no blame whatever attaches), who was
,onlikyllus, became second ; immediately after he endea-
Aoured to obtain the lead, but had no chance against
Alas, whose superior speed enabled him to maintain his
:position to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The
.time taken to run the distance was six minutes and thirty-
two seconds, being about a minute and a half more
than the Cup was run in on Thursday. It is no-
torious that Hyllus is slow, and that, without
having any pretensions to speed, the orders to the jockey
should have been to force the running, not to wait, yet
Buckle was instructed, and of course obeyed. We
•will not adopt the terms in which the transaction was re-
probated, but simply observe that it excited a very strong
feeling of indignation, and that one of the members or
the Jockey Club, recently one of its stewards, declared
that should any, horse from the same stable be named for
a handicap submitted to him, he should assuredly put
thirteen stone on him. We should add that Pocahontas
was in the same stable as Hyllus, and on her being stripped
for saddling for the Cup on Thursday, her owner was so
struegly impressed with the tiler. she had not un-
dergone the necessary preparation, t'..at 11‘; immediately
laid 1001. to half-a-crown against he: in the presence of
her trainer, and after the race, remove-1 her to Brown's
sta.:ile. Ile• has since sold her to Mr. Theobald for 5001
Challen,ve for the March 5 soya. forfeits, &c.
