the two Princes, her nephews. Time need not have
been lost by proposing candidates that were impossible,
and the Duke de Montpensier might have been married
to the Infanta without appearing to deprive the Crown
of Spain of the chances of having other heirs. In
reality, we are assured that our Government anxiously
desires that Queen Isabella may bear children, and that
the Duchess de Montpensier, freed from her dangerous
expectations, may soon become merely another French
Princess.' It is possible, likewise, that the procedines
of the Court of Spain, which desired at any price to avoid
Don Enrique, and which solicited a Prince of Coburg,
afterwards refused by England, may have alarmed
our Government, already disposed to Ear the British Mi-
nistry. It is very possible that the precipitation and
mystery of which England complains may have been
caused solely by fear. The publication of the docu-
ments and the explanations of the Chambers will inform
us on that point. In the meantime the conduct observed
by our Government has been termed glorious !' The
term is menacing for our country. Every time that our
Minister speaks of his glory we have something to pay.
We paid for the glory of Tangiers, as well as for the
glory of the Marquesas. We shall likewise pay for the
glory of the negotiations at Madrid. The least price
will be the series of embarrassments, difficulties, and
quarrels excited against ns throughout tile world by the
ili mill of England. We fear that our Ministry, in order
to replace or to repurchase the cordial understanding,
is preparing new sacrifices for the Liberal cause, and
humiliations fur France."

The National thus balances the results likely to
accrue to England, France, and Spain for this match,
and we think it balances them justly :
"It is expected taat Spain will not become English,
because the Duke de Nlontpensier has been married to
the Infanta ? Is Spain merely the House of Bourbon ?
Is there in that country neither national sentiments nor
any spirit of independence, nor a revolution accomplished
is 1537, nor interests, nor ideas, nor parties created
by that revolution, maintained at the price of
seven years of civil war ? It is believed that
we have conquered Spain, because a young
woman and 30,000,000 have been acquirel tly mar-
riage ! Aad see the portion left to England ! The
dynastic opinion of France permits our enemy to address
itself to those sentiments of national j,edousy which
are stronger there than elsewhere, and to (latter, excite,
and convert them into an arm. She is permitted to pre-
sent herself alone as the protectress of liberty ; she is
permitted to make declarations publicly, through her
Ambassador, that she alone wishes the prosperity and
the independence of the Spanish ns!ion ; that she ap-
plauds all that Spain will accomplish spontaneously, and
that she is incensed solely at the moral violence com-
mitted by France. England adopts every man and every
party attached ta the revolution. England, careful in
studying and in pursuing every popular instinct,
fully places her political action in the midst of that force
which never perishes. And how can you expect that
those who are repelled by France will refuse the assist-
ance of England ? Your fatal policy casts them into
her arms. And when the moment strives for an explo-
sion, the English Cabinet, taking its revenge, wili say
smiling, You have a dowry, but we possess Spain.' "
The Bey of Tuiis is expected in Paris on a visit
to King Louis PHILIPPE.

On Thursday, M. GuazoT gave a grand dinner to
the Marquis of _NORMANDY. Among the guests were
Prince DE WALLERSTEIN, Minister of Bavaria; the
Ministers of War, Marine, Commerce, and Public
Works; Duke PASQUIER ; the Duke DE BRO G LIE ;
Count and' Countess DE ST. AULAIRE ; Count DE
RAMBUTEAU ; M. and Mme. G. DELESSERT, Baron
J. DE ROTHSC HUD, Count ROSSI, &C.
It appears that the report, and which was so in.
dustriously circulated by the partisans of the Mi-
nistry, that Austria had expressed her satisfaction at
the Montpensier marriage was incorrect. Austria
has not as yet even recognised the Queen of SPAIN.
The private accounts received in Paris, of the re-
ception of the French Princes on their way to the
Atocba Church, on the day of the marriage, state,
that not only were there no acclamations of joy, but
that they were, in some parts of their route, greeted
with audible expressions of disapprobation.
It was reported on Friday that an insurrectionary
movement had taken place in Valencia.
Not only is France menaced with approaching
famine, but the same calamity seems impending over
Germany, Switzerland, Naples, Sicily, Portugal, and
S weden. In Algeria the crops have been completely
burnt up.

Lord BROUGHAM arrived at Cannes on the 14th.
The Journal des Clumins de Fer mentions that a
general assembly of the shareholders of the Fampoux
and Hazebrouck Railroad would be shortly held for
the purpose of considering the position of the com-
pany. The Orleans and Bordeaux company had pub-
lished its new tariff, by which the rates of car-
riage of merchandise are considerably reduced. The
receipts of the Paris and Orleans line during the
week ending on the 13th instant were 237,450 f., and
from the commencement of the year 7,180,924 f.
Those of the Paris and Rouen Railway, during the
same week, were 195,007 f., and from the Ist of Ja-
nuary, 6,587,397 f. The Tours and Orleans section
of the Bordeaux line produced, from the Bth to the
14th instant, 91,921 f., and from its opening, on the
2d of April, 1,694,290 f. The receipts of the Northern
Road, between the 3d and 9th instant, amounted to
272,577 f., and since its opening, on the 20th of June,

o'clock before the chair was taken. Mr. Spiers presided
over the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN called on the shareholders to elect
scrutineers from the shareholders present, in order to
take tho vote as to the dissolution or otherwise of the

A SHAREHOLDER, before the Ecrutineers were ap-
pointed, wished to know by what right the Chairman
took the chair? He had not been elected by the meeting.
Mr. TATHAM said the Chairman was appointed by the
committee, and therefore the proceeding, in connexion

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sale:; of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were
about 10,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation, and
1,000 Egyptian for Glasgow. Previous rates were fully
supported, and in some instances higher prices were
obtained.
In the Corn Market the movement this morning has
been slight. The country markets, according to this
day's post, are everywhere very firm.
The private accounts received from the West Indies
to-day are of a most satisfactory character, but there is
little more in them beyond that which will be found in
another column of The Sun.
We have before us an announcement from the office of
the Kew York Courier and Enquirer to the effect, that a
paper for Europe will, in future, be made up for the mail
immediately preceding. the departure from New York of
each steamer. This extra copy is to embody all the
current information on American subjects which is at
all calculated to interest European readers. To those
who have to wade through an immense pile of the
United States' journals on each arrival from thence to pick
out the more prominent articles of intelligence, this will
be a boon indeed. Bat there is a feature to be introduced
which must command attention on the -part of all those
who have claims upon the " repudiating" states of Ame-
rica. It is promised that " especial attention will be
paid to the subject of American State Stocks; the gene-
ral condition and resources of the indebted States will
be elaborately discussed, and any change in their finan-
cial plospects carefully recorded."
This description of news if well compiled (as doubt-
less it will be) must prove very valuable and interesting
to the holders of stock in the ",repudiating" states of the
Republic, who are residents in this country—and there
aro many of them.
The Consol Market has been rather steady this morn-
ing with perkaps a slight tendency downwards. For the
Account the prices have been 95k k, and for Money 95k
and 94k. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is rather
higher—say 15s. to 16s. Bank Stock has just rallied
from 205 k to 206}. South Sea Stock has been quoted
at 1041.
➢Mexican Bonds have been pretty firm at 231 Bra-
zilian Five per Cents. are at 86; Spanish Three per
Cents, at 38k; the Five per Cents. at 271; and Portu-
guese Converted are firm at 431. The opening quota-
tion was 42. The Railway Smare Market is rather

active. •
