The proceedings altogether have excited a strong
sensation in the army, which will not be allayed
without a thorough public investigation. Every in-
ferior officer naturally fears he will be trampled
upon in his turn. For the information of our readers
we may state who the principals in this precious
quarrel are. Captain REYNOLDS is of a good fa-
mily, being the son of the late Lieutenant-General
REYNOLDS, a distinguished Indian officer. The
Earl of CARDIGAN was once Lord BRUDENELL.
Some few years ago he had a quarrel with a brother
officer in Dublin, which led to a court-martial, and
which ended in his dismissal from the army. He
was shortly after restored, appointed to a regiment
in India, ar.d is now, as all the world knows, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of the Prince's Own, the 11th
Hussars.

possible cost. Here the two are directly in oppo-
sition, and there are not wanting instances of tail-
wav proprietors now making an increase of profit
by curtailing the public accommodation. The
Croydon Railway, for example, has lately raised
its price, carried fewer persons, and increased its
gains. We have read, within this day or two,
several complaints, particularly in the Stafford-
shire Examiner, of very deficient accom-
modation on the railways which connect
Wolverhampton with other places ; and it seems
quite possible, where there are no competing lines
of road, that railway proprietors may charge al-
most what fares they please, and provide as little
accommodation as they please. For example, on
lines connecting two towns, which have many com-
mercial relations, and between which a certain
number of persons must travel, the proprietors of
the railways may limit their trains to one or two
per day, and so convey an immense quantity of
persons at a small cost while they charge a high
fare. Again, they may refuse to provide a suffi •
cient number of stations, and compel persons to
travel double the distance by horse carriage than
might he otherwise nece-sary. For such evils, as
long as each different railway is under a separate
management, we may hope, by quoting the examples
of the good, to correct the bad, and to procure re-
dress. But once establish a Board to manage rail-
ways in common, for our Contemporary's plan
would come to that, and every term of comparison
would disappear. Railway travelling might return,
for the presumed safety of passengers, almost to
the old rate of horse travelling ; and no example
might remain of that velocity which is now their
boast. Our children, with the proposed Board to
regulate all railways by one common plan, might
know our present speed only as a thing that
once was practised.
We must further hint to our Contemporary—
on which, were he not more a representative of
the railway than the public interest, he would not
need a hint—that railways are yet in their infancy—
that they have been laid down under a fictitious
system of prices, both of labour and land, which
has much enhanced their cost—that the immense
amount of capital embarked in them, like the
capital vested in turnpike-roads, may not yield a
due rate of interest if great improvements are made
by which railways can be constructed much cheaper
than our present costly, and even wasteful railroads,
—and that, in so far as improvements of any kind,
whether moral or mechanical, go to lower the value
of railway property, they would be opposed
and (Ideated by this powerful combination of railway
proprietors. To organise such immense strength
for the very purpose of defending and maintaining
most of the imperfections of a great fart, which is
yet in its infancy, may seem a feasible means of
giving security to railway capitalists, but it would
speedily bring improvement to a still stand. If all the
turnpike trustees throughout the kingdom had con-
stituted a Board of Delegates to regulate the roads,
and formed a combined interest, we can easily con-
ceive that not one of the many hills which have
been thrown into the rallies within the last half
century would have been lowered an inch, and rail-
ways would have been unnecessary and unknown.
There is one way of constituting such a body as
the Chronicle proposes that may make it not inju-
rious. It must be taken from all classes, and it
must have representatives of all interests. It must
not consist exclusively of railway proprietors. Such
a description corresponds to what a Parliament ought
to be, but to compose such a body solely of railway
directors and proprietors would be as injurious
as if under the present circumstances of the country
the Legislature were to consist only of one House
of Parliament, and all its Members were to be
priests. They would say, like railway proprietors,
We will take care of our interest, and our interest,
as they do say, is that of the public ; and they
would be more justified in making the assertion,
and the public in placing such power in their
ha.ids, than in believing that the owners of
sixty millions of capital, vested in railways, when
formed into one central united body, will not en-
deavour to assist themselves at the expense of the
public.
By our Contemporary returning to this subject,
and recommending the plan, it is to be inferred
that the project is entettained by those who have
the means to carry it into effect. The public,
therefore must be more than ever on its guard, and
should look with much suspicion and jealousy on
any combination, or Board of Delegates, repre-
senting a body of capitalists who own more than
sixty millions sterling.

The Spectator on Saturday pronounced, quite
unconsciously we are aware, a spirited eulogium on
the Ministers. It implied, if it did not say, that the
people were so perfectly satisfied with the Govern-
ment, so full of contentment with public affairs, that
they ceased to trouble themselves on the subject.
" All other questions of war or peace," it said,
speaking of the Doncaster St. Leger, " were for
the moment merged in that great question of the
day, Who's won ? From no point of the compass,
save that pointing towards Doncaster, was any
news cared for." Such a statement indicates a people
completely at ease. They ought, after earning
their bread, to have nothing to do but to amuse
and enjoy themselves. They pay most enormously
for the services of statesmen, judges, so►diers,
and all the agents of Government, and it is not to
be expected that they should, at the same time, do
the duties of the Government and take care of the
State. If our Contemporary's description were
strictly accurate, instead of being meant sneeringly,
we should say that it was the noblest testimony
evet home in a free country to a virtuous Ministry.
But, unfortunately, it was meant for a joke.
During the week there were several public meetings
held, at all of which public events, and the con-
duct of 'Ministers, were discussed with some
acerbity. During the week considerable interest
was excited by two murders, making it doubtful
how far our laws can any longer be relied on to
give us personal security. During the week very
general interest was felt on the question of peace or
war, and the publication of the daily journals was
as keenly looked for to learn the Paris news, as the
news from Doncaster. During the week very con-
siderable fluctuations occurred in the public funds,
showing anything but perfect ease in the public
mind. Finally, during the week we had several
days of bad weather, which again raised doubts
whether the harvest in the North will be saved,
and whether bread will be very dear or compara-
tively cheap. On all these, and many other points,
there was intense interest felt, and we cannot, un-
fortunately, accept for the Ministers the compli-
ment which the language of the Spectator would
imply. We wish all the people were in the full
enjoyment of that ease and confidence which would
enable them to amuse themselves and be happy,
but that cannot be the case till a host of bad laws
be swept away ; and were they till then to lose all
interest in politics, it would be a fatal sign for the
future fortunes of our country. There is, however,
no reason to fear such a stolid acquiescence in evil
so long as there are journals, like the Spectator,
which continually remind them that few or no in-
, stitutions are good, and few or no measures right.

The Moniteur of Saturday contains the follow-
nz? ff official news from Spain, which was commu-
nicated to tne Government by telegraph on Friday
afternoon :
" The manifesto of Ger.eral Espartero reached Va-
lencia on the 10th inst. In the night of the 11th the
Queen appointed a Ministry, composed as follows :
" M. Sancho, President of the Council and Minister
of Foreign Affairs.
M. Ximenes, Minister of Finance.
" M. Gomez Becerra, Minister of Grace and Justice.
" M. Cabello, Minister of the Interior.
" M. Infantes, Minister of War.
_ _

" M. Capez, Minister of Marine."
It was fortunate for the QUEEN REGENT that
she took so little time to deliberate on General
ESPARTERO'S manifesto, as the Madrid Journals
of the 12th inst., which we have just received, state
that the Junta in the capital were leaving nothing
undone for preparing the minds of the people for
setting aside the Royal authority, in the event of
her MAJESTY persisting in sanctioning the Cor-
porations Bill. On the 12th the Junta had ad-
dressed a-proclamation to their fellow-citizens, in
which they stated that, being intimately convinced
of the dangerous circumstances in which the nation
was placed by the liberticide faction gathered round
the throne, they had decided on the consolidation,
by all possible means, of the patriotic manifesta-
tions in favour of liberty, in order to save the con-
stitutional cause from the attacks of despotism on
the one hand, and anarchy on the other. They
added that the liberal manifestation of the
citizens of the capital had been cor-
dially responded to by the municipalities
of Burgos, Toledo, Saragossa, Salamanca, Caceres,
Avila, Segovia, Grenada, Leon, Malaga, Almeira,
Soria, Logrono, Lerida, Carthagena, Cadiz,
Huesca, Santander, Valladolid, Badajoz, Alicante,
and Valencia, which sufficiently indicated the na-
tional will. This proclamation concludes as fol-

We have been informed that a mistaken opinion
generally prevails respecting the object of the court-
martial which is to try Captain REYNOLDS of
the 11th Hussars. There are two officers of that
name in the regiment, and the one whose conduct
is to be the subject of investigation, is the gentle-
man respecting whom a young lady, at a party
given by the Earl of CARDIGAN, made the re-
mark, " I do not see Captain REYNOLDS ;" and
to which his Lorship replied, " Oh, no, he is not
one of my visitors." Captain REYNOLDS, con-
ceiving that these words were calculated to affect
him as a gentleman, wrote a letter to the Earl of
CARDIGAN for an explanation; and, receiving no
answer, wrote a second, in terms which were con-
strued to imply a challenge. The letters were
submitted to Prince ALBERT, and by him to Lord
HILL, who ordered a Court-martial. The other
affair was more summarily settled, as might have
been ascertained from Lord HILL'S letter to Mr.
HENRY HARVEY, in which he states that
" the case was put into a due course of in-
vestigation, as soon as it was brought to my
notice, and has now been finally disposed of." If
no court-martial, however, takes place respecting
the extraordinary, the arbitrary, and insulting con-
duct of various parties, as detailed in the correspon-
dence published by authority (we presume) of
Captain REYNOLDS, the public at all events will
sift the matter, and not suffer it thus to be " finally
disposed of." To those who have not been at the
trouble to read all the correspondence, the follow-
ing summary may be useful :—Lord CARDIGAN,
on seeing a black bottle containing Moselle wine
before Captain JOHN REYNOLDS (a very common
mode of placing such wine on the table in the
families of private gentlemen), sent a communica-
tion blaming him for having a black bottle before
him at a great dinner, with the additional corn-
ment—" the mess should be conducted like a gen-
tleman's table, and not like a tavern or pot-house."
Captain REYNOLDS received this insulting mes-
sage without making any remark to the bearer,
Captain JONES, but subsequently waited on Lord
CARDIGAN, and made a spirited remonstrance
against the language, and, receiving no satisfactory
answer from his Lordship, he in a fit of irritation
threatened Captain JONES. For this, how-
ever, he afterwards properly expressed his
regret. He was put under arrest. Informa-
tion of what had occurred was communi-
cated to the Horse Guards, not in writing,
but by Lord CARDIG !‘,N himself, in a personal
interview with Lord HILL and the Adjutant-
General. The Noble Lord also had interviews
with Captain REYNOLDS, called him an " Indian
Officer," said he was " insubordinate,"—that
" he knew his duty, but had no idea of discipline,"
and asked " Why don't you leave the regiment ?"
AccOrding to instructions from the Horse Guards,
Captain REYNOLDS afterwards addressed a letter
to Lord CARDIGAN, containing these words:—
" I beg to express my sense of the insubordination
of my conduct, in having threatened my superior
office:, and my regret to Lieutenant-Colonel the
Earl of CARDIGAN for having done so." Lord
CARDIGAN then sent for Captain REYNOLDS
and detained him two hours in " a most ha-
rassing and inquisitorial conversation" about va•
rious matters, but chiefly about drinking wine and
shaking hands with Captain JONES, the officer
who delivered the offensive message; and filially,
to the urgent and repeated requests of the accused
for a court•martial, the following reply from the
Horse Guards was read before all the officers of
the regiment :
General Sleigh went to Canterbury, had all the
officers of the regiment brought before him, and, with-
out
investigation, read to them a letter from head-
quaratney rs,condemning. Captain Reynold's conduct in very
strong language ; approving of Lord Cardigan's through-
out, in every particular ; stigmatising Captain Rey-
nolds' motives as pernicious and vindictive, and refusing
a court-martial, because many things would be brought
to light which would not be for but we
of the service.
Comment is unnecessary ; but we must say, if the
gentlemen at the Horse Guards approve of Lord
CARDIGAN'S expressions about " the black bottle
and a pot-house," " the Indian officers," and others
of a similar cast, made towards a brother officer,
" save us from the society of such gentlemen."

Tao Junta, relying on its conscience and on its duty
to watch over the safety of the country, would consider
itself unworthy of the confidence bestowed upon it,
were it not courageously to repel all aggression on the
part of the perfidious advisers of her Majesty, blind
enough to have decreed the rupture of communica-
tion with the principal towns in the kingdom. In con-
sequence it has adopted the followinf, resolutions, viz.:—
Art. I. All the civil, political,' and military autho-
rities of the province, and all public functionaries what-
ever, are forbidden, under pain of death, to obey the
Government of Valencia.
" Art. 11. It is incumbent on every citizen to de-
nounce to the proper authorities every individual whom
he may know to be in communication with the said
Government, or to receive privately orders and instruc-
tions therefrom.
" Art. 111. All the Administrations are provisionally
closed. The officers designed by the Junta shall be
civilly and criminally responsible for the safety of all
the documents and effects therein. Necessary assist-
ance and security shall be afforded them. All the
funds that may happen to be in the said Administra-
tion shall he removed into the treasury of the province,
and placed at the disposal of the treasury members.
" Art. 11/. A special commission shall take cogniz-
ance of all offences against, and all infractions of the
published decrees.

Had the REGENT not yielded at once, it is easy
to predict to what consequences these proceedings
must have led. But the abandonment of the un-
popular and unconstitctional Municipal Law, the
dissolution of the 'Cortes, and the appointment of a
new Ministry, will restore to the REGENT the al-
legiance of the nation. Of the composition of the
new Spanish Ministry, we find the following ac-
count in the Constitutionnel of Saturday--the ac-
credited organ of the French Premier :
" The President of the Council, Don Vincente
Sancho, is the same who was appointed first at 13ar-
celona under the impulsion of Espartero, and who re-
fused office. He is an officer of Engineers, and De-
puty for Valencia. He has the reputation of talent
amongst his party. At the time of the debates on the
Ayuntamicnto Bill he proposed amendments which
were accepted by the majority.
" The Minister of Finance, Don Domingo Ximenes,
was formerly a provincial Intendant. He was a Mi-
nister for three months in 1839, and it is not long since
he joined the Exaltado party. During the period he
was Minister he favoured this party in the elections of
1839, and left office on that account.
" The Minister of the Interior, Senor Cabello, is
the same already appointed at Barcelona, in place of
Senor Sancho, who would riot take office, and who ar-
rived at the moment of the Queen's departure for Va-
lencia. He gave in his resignation as soon as the
Queen arrived in that town. He was formerly Poli-
tical Chief of Teruel, and now Deputy for Castellon,
and much attached to his party.
" The Minister of Grace and Justice, Don Alonzo
Gomez Becerra, is a friend of Arguelles. He was
Member of the Cortes in 1820, and was called to the
Ministry of Justice in 1835 by Mendizabal.
" Tl.e Minister of War, Don Facundo Infante, is 1
Brigadier-General, the intermediate rank in Spain be-
tween that of Colonel and Camp Marshal. Ha is a
Senator, and was formerly a Deputy. It is to the tact
and perseverance of Senor Infante that the Exaltado
party owes, in a great measure, its understanding with
Espartero, who did not like it at first, and who even up-
set the Calatrava Cabinet.
The Minister of Marine, Don Donitio Capwaazs, isa
Senator. He was Minister in 1823, at the time of the
entrance of the Duke d'Angouleme_ AspinßSTpaElio
Spain.'

By the arrival of the Braganza steamer at Fal-
mouth on Saturday, we have received advices from
Lisbon of the 14th instant. They are very unim-
portant. The insurgents, in a complete state of
disorganisation, were flying towards the Spanish
frontier, whither they were pursued by large bodies
of loyal troops. The people of Oporto had invited
the Royal Family to transfer their residence from
Lisbon to their more loyal neighbourhood—an in-
vitation which the Ministers ruled to be quite un-
necessary. Nothing of moment was doing in the
Chambers.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday
have all been duly received. Saturday's JournalE
copy from the Augsburgh Gazette the answer of
M. GUIZOT, French Ambassador at the Court of
London, to Lord PALMERSTON'S note of the

15th of July, announcing the adopticn, by the
Four Powers, of the treaty for the settlement of
the Eastern question, which will be found in another
part of The Sun. M. GUIZOT is a statesman
of rate talents, of superior mental endowments,
and of strict integrity. The circumstances under
which he sat down to answer Lord PALMERSTON'S
note were most imposingly solemn. Lord PAL-
MERSTON had made statements of fact which the
honour of France required that he should disprove,
if he would acquit the Government of which he is
a Member of having attempted to bamboozle all
the Cabinets of Europe. Well ;
does M. GuizoT
disprove them ? Not at all. Does his Excel-
lency even attempt to show that they are unfounded?
Nothing of the sort. On the contrary, he admits,
by Eis silence, that Lord PALMERSTON had not
stated a syllable which was not well founded.
His Excellency complains, not that the Treaty
was kept secret—he affects no ignorance of any of,
its provisions—he approves of its object ; all that
puzzles him is to discover —by what means, the
blockade of Syria failing, the Four Powers can com-
pel the submission of MEHEMET ALI. M. Gur-
zoT is as anxious for maintaining the integrity of
the Ottoman empire, and for the keeping the sword
of the Prophet in the hands of the reigning dy-
nasty, as either Lord PALMERSTON or M. DE
BRUNOW; but he intimates a doubt on the
part of his Government, as to whether the
possession of Syria would really tend to
the consolidation of the Turkish empire, and
hints a dislike of being a party to any resolution
which might hutt the feelings of the Paella of
EGYPT. It was well for the veracity of M.
GuIZOT that he declined replying more particularly
to Lord PALMERSTON'S note, as a despatch from
Marshal SouLT, the former President of the Coun-
cil, to M. DE BOURQUENEY, written one year
previously, would have formed rather an ugly com-
mentary on such assertions respecting the Treaty
as daily appear in the columns of the French minis-
terial press.
The tone of the journals is still warlike,
but we have reason to believe that the Go-
vernment only keeps up the war fever to blind
the people to the consequences of fortifying
Paris. While the Republicans are lustily shouting
for war with England, Louis PHILIPPE is silently
rivetting chains from which no three days' fighting
will ever again emancipate them. The fortification
of Paris solves the enigma of the Ministerial con-
duct on the Eastern question.
The Capitole says that Prince Louis &lona arte had
a long conference yesterday with Messrs. Berryer,
Marie, and Ferdinand Barrot.
The Armoricain of Brest says the Ignala corvette left
the port on Saturday evening, in consequence of informa-
tion given by the pilots of Raz that two armed schooners
had been seen between Ushant and the Isle of Seine,
and avoided being approached by the pilots ; a report
which was confirmed by a letter from the Maritime
Prefect of Finistcrre. As these vessels might molest
sundry vessels, the Maritime Prefect did not lose a
moment in taking measures to secure them. But a sub-
sequent notice from Baron de Broke announces that
the report was without foundation.
The Ignala has, in fact, returned without seeing those
schooners which the pilots persist in saying that they
saw between Ushant and the Isle of Seine. It is, at all
events, certain that they are not there now.—Lc Consti.
tutionnel, Sept. 19.
A letter from Alexandria of the29th of August says
—" The coasts of Syria about St. Jean Wiese and
Tripoli, as my correspondent tells me, are often visited
by English brigs and corvettes, which it is supposed are
destined to land arms, and prepare some coup de main.
The number of these English ships daily increases, and
their small size enables them to visit the creeks and
little ports, and to approach the shore mush better
than ships of the line and frigates. In estimating the
English force in these seas these small vessels are not,
counted, and yet they, in fact, do much injury to the
trade of Egypt—to the cause of Mehemet Ali, by land-
ing contraband goods and supplying the insurgents
with arms and ammunition. Many of them though
armed are only merchantmen from Malta, Gibraltar,
and the lonian Islands.
The Argus brig arrived at Toulon on the 11th of
September. This vessel came from Alexandria,—Le
