of a hateful authority. Nevertheless, the deceitful-
ness so remarkable in recent diplomacy threatens to
be principally productive of calamities to those whose
interests it was alone intended to advance. .Dis-
simulatio errores parit, qui dissimulatore ii ipsum
illaqueant. No more brilliant testimony could be de-
sired of the misfortunes which are certain to accrue
to a state or an individual from a selfish disregard of
the advantages of other states or of other individuals.
That the intended espousal of the Infanta LUISA
FERNAND& and the Due DE MONTPENSIER has con-
duced to the embarrassment, instead of the perma-
nent organisation, of Spanish affairs, and has tended
to the diminution, instead of the extension, of French
influence, almost every particular circumstance that
has transpired since its announcement has demon-
strated. Hostile sentiments have been germi-
nated throughout every section of Spanish so-
ciety. Petitions have thronged in from the pro-
vinces praying for the rejection of the Orleans
suitor. With only three exceptions—the Imparcial,
the Heraldo, and the Popular—the Madrid journals
have inveighed against the alliance in terms so
virulent and decisive as to incite the trembling
officials to cause their suppression. Even the
French postilions and navigators on the rail-
ways are assailed by the enraged population, de-
rided as gabachos, and treated with every indignity
short of corporeal punishment. The Ministerial
enunciation by Senor ISTURITZ is greeted in the
Congress with groans and hisses, which are only
suppressed by the ringing of the President's bell.
Beyond all these significant evidences of the foolish
celerity with which the obnoxious scheme has been
concocted, and of the indignation which its un-
generous secresy has aroused, we possess others of
greater consequence. Not merely does the English
Ambassador, Mr. HENRY LYTTON BULWER, protest
against the projected alliance on his own responsi-
bility and this because he recognised the pro-
bability of its ultimately disarranging the ba-
lance of the European powers—but his behaviour
receives the emphatic approbation of his own Govern-
ment. Beyond this, again, a formal protest against
the marriage (published by us in this day's impres-
sion) is forwarded to the Cortes by no less interested
a personage than one of the Spanish Princes, Don
ENRIQUE. " What belongs to me by right," says
this young Bourbon, " and that which I shall at-
tempt to do, influenced less by family views and in-
terests than by the desire to avoid the possibility of
difficult questions, and perhaps even wars of succes-
sion, which have been so fatal to Spain, is to protest
against all eventual right to the Crown which may
be granted to the children of the Duke of MONTPEN..
SIER, if he should ever be united to the INFANTA."
Upon constitutional principles, therefore, a member
of the reigning Royal Family of Spain protests against
that union. On constitutional principles the vast
bulk of the people of Spain protest against it like-
wise ; and upon the fundamental principles of inter-
national legislation, as well as upon the express stipula-
tions of the renowned treaty between " the most serene
and most mighty Princess ANNE, Queen of Great
Britain, and the most serene and most mighty Prince
PHILIP V., Catholic King of Spain," the representa-
tive of the former empire at Madrid protests against
that same marriage.

terminated his collegiate career by securing the classical
gold medal—the greatest distinction to which his
religious opinions permitted him to aspire. During
all that period, and throughout his entire under-
graduate career, FRANK MURPHY, as he was inva-
riably called, was probably the most popular student
of the time; his joyous disposition, his kindness of
heart, his extraordinary talent, made him
the life and soul of every convivial meet-
ing, and insured the hilarity, the enjoyment of
every assemblage of which he formed a part. It was
the wonder of many who did not thoroughly know
him how he was always so well versed in his
collegiate business—so perfectly master of all its
details ; but those who knew him intimately :were
aware that then, as all through his subsequent career,
although the gayest of the gay, he never suffered
business to remain neglected, but always faithfully
Performed all that was required at his hands.

He had at first intended that Ireland should be the
scene of his professional labours, and was accordingly
called to the Irish bar shortly after he attained his
majority ; he, however, abandoned that intention,
and left the country, where he had influential friends
and relatives, who must have ensured his success
even were he possessed of less powers than those with
which he was gifted ; and, with a just reliance on his
own abilities and industry, he came to this country,
convinced that he would ultimately attain the posi-
tion and the distinction which in England is ever
awarded to genuine merit, talent, perseverance, and
assiduity. In that opinion he was not mistaken ; his
rapid progress in his profession, the eminence he
attained therein, attested the accuracy of his judg-
ment. We have reason to know that one of the chief
reasons by which he was actuated in coming to this
resolution was, that he might not interfere in any
the slightest degree with the prospects of a near
relative, who has recently deservedly obtained
one of the highest legal situations in Ireland,
and so divide the interest of a family which had ever
been most closely united, and which, by that union
and the rare qualities they exhibited, had gained large
fortunes for themselves, and attained the foremost
position amongst the mercantile men of their own
commercial city. Well might Sergeant MURPHY
say that " he was vouched for his sincerity and
rectitude, guaranteed by the integrity of
those who had lived long amongst them,
whose merits were known and appreciated ;"
for no family have ever gained, or more invariably
preserved, the good opinion and respect of their fellow-
citizens than that of which he is a distinguished
member. In 1841 he was invited to come forward as
a candidate for the suffrages of the people of Cork, and
by a large majority placed at the head of the poll.
His Parliamentary career is well known : a consistent
and honest politician, he ever gave his support to liberal
measures, and he not only discharged with ability and
upright zeal the duties intrusted to his care, but at-
tended to the interests of all classes without reference
to political feelings. The advice, the assistance of
Sergeant MURPHY was never withheld even from his
strongest opponent, and we have known instances in
which it has been afforded even since his retiring
from the Senate, in a manner the most creditable to
his head and heart.

It would be impossible to attempt even a sketch of
the eloquent speech in which he returned thanks
for the compliment paid to him. It must be read to
be duly appreciated. The occasion was not a political
one, at least all topics that might have excited discus-
sion were to be avoided ; but there was ground on
which he could safely, and did most happily, expa-
tiate—that of their common country, for the benefit of
which all would gladly join, and which is looked to
and regarded as the knitting bond of unity amongst
Irishmen. His allusions to the progress and success
of the measures of free trade also showed that he was
aware there was no difference of feeling on that im-
portant subject. Sincerely do we congratulate Ser-
geant MURPHY on the tribute he has received, and
the citizens of Cork on an exhibition which, collec-
tively and individually, redounds to their mutual
honour.

Precisely at this critical juncture the Carlist
leader and the Carlist general escape from sur-
veillance, and threaten to appeal to the popu-
lation of the Peninsula a population already
prepared fur any amount of turbulence, and fitted
for any number of insurrections. At a moment
when the hatred for the gabachos is so violent and
universal, any banner would be acceptable so long
as it was inimical to the abhorred foreigners.
While we behold the continental Powers thus
trembling on the verge of commotion,
and see not merely Cabinets but communities
ready to be embroiled with each other, it is a satisfac-
tion to think that England has throughout kept aloof
from the subject of contention, that her dignity has
been maintained, her rights of interference have not
been questioned, her honourable candour has not
been impeached even by a momentary suspicion,
and that thus the unselfishness of her recent
protest has been strikingly manifested. What,
however, may not be the futurity reserved for
the Peninsula! Her population is placed be-
tween an embarrassing and momentous alterna-
tive. Is Spain to become really degraded into
the mere province of some unkindred empire ? Is
she to be again desolated by the stormy throes and
agonies of civil war ? Are the children of FERDI-
NAND to be continued on the throne to perpetuity, or
what novel phase is her history to develop ? The
solution of this problem is within the grasp of the
Spanish people--they may prove themselves suited to
the occasion, and not unworthy of their progenitors.

The German Diet at Frankfort came on the 17th
to a resolution on the subject of the Holstein and
Schleswig question, by which, while it reserves the
future competency and right of Germany, it refuses
in any manner to prejudge the question of the succes-
sion to Holstein.

The King of DENMARK left Schleswig on the 12th,
for Rendsburg, where he delivered a stern address to
the officers quartered there, desiring them to maintain
the strictest discipline at this period of political agita-
tion. His MAJESTY particularly exhorted the older
officers to do all in their power to rectify any erro •
neous political notions that might be entertained by
their juniors. He also recommended the new Regency
to administer the Duchy in the true spirit of his
MAJESTY'S ideas. After visiting several of the public
establishments, he gave private audiences. Count
REVENTLOW has been appointed Chief President of
the City of Altona.

One of the highest compliments that can be offered
to a public man has recently been paid to Mr. Ser-
geant Muapwv, on the occasion of his annual visit to
his native city. It must, indeed, have been extremely
gratifying to that honourable and learned gentle-
man to find that at the first moment of his return,
after having relinquished his proud position as their
representative, the citizens of Cork, of all classes and
varieties of political feeling, should have assembled toge-
ther to do honour to their late member, to afford the
strongest testimony that could emanate from any
constituency of their entire approbation of the course
pursued by their distinguished guest, not only while
he continued a member of the Legislature, but since
he had retired into private life, and applied himself to
the important and arduous duties of his profes-
sion. What a contrast did the meeting
afford to those which have recently taken place
in this country, where the dirge of protection
has been chanted, and gloomy prophecies for the
future have been uttered, mingled only with the
most virulent and personal abuse of the wise and
sagacious statesman through whose disinterested ex-
ertions the glorious doctrines of free trade received
the legislative sanction, and became part and parcel
of the law of the land. " On the present occasion
all ranks, all classes, all creeds, all parties, were re-
presented; and mingled together in unity and harmony,
were to be seen the ultra-Tory, the uncompromising
Repealer, the honest Whig, and the unflinching Radi-
cal. No petty difference existed, no narrow distinc-
tion was suffered to interpose." So says our re-
spected Contemporary, from whose columns we ex-
tracted an account of the banquet. How gratifying
it is to record the proceedings of such an assemblage,
An oasis in the desert, a green spot where no party
feeling, no political animosity was suffered to intrude,
or to mar the festivity of the evening, where Irish-
man united with his brother Irishman in friendship
and kindliness of feeling; and the only contest was,
which could exhibit the greatest respect, and most
cordial friendship for the man of whose conduct they
were anxious to express their admiration.
The entertainment was presided over by the pre-
decessor of Sergeant MURPHY in the representation
of Cork—a gentleman whose high character, sound
political principles, and unblemished commercial inte-
grity, combined with an untiring and devoted zeal for the
interests of his country, the welfare and prosperity of
her people, have gained the esteem and regard of all
who are so fortunate as to possess his acquaintance.
Associated with him as vice-presidents were four
gentlemen, two of whom were members of the old
corporation, where strong Conservatives could only
hope for admission, and each of the others were
members of the different sections of the Liberal
party. In a party so constituted it was delightful
to witness the cordial unanimity with which
the desire and hope of the President, " that they
might again see Sergeant MURPHY filling the proud
position he had once occupied," was received and
acknowledged. It must have been a moment of un-
alloyed delight, of unmingled happiness, to the
Learned Sergeant, when he heard ringing around
him the enthusiastic cheering with which the aspira-
tion was responded to, and sincerely do we hope that
ere long it may be fully realised, his honest ambition
gratified, and that he may reap the reward of his
struggles and labours. The position of Sergeant
MURPHY was, indeed, as he truly said, a
peculiar one, and no less honourable to him than it
was peculiar. From his earliest boyhood he gave the
most evident proof of the talent and ability apparent
throughout his entire career, of his powers of con-
ciliating the friendship, of winning the admiration of
men of all shades of political feeling. From the time
of his entrance into the Irish university he never
missed an examination, and never failed in obtaining
the highest classical honours on every occasion, until be

The Queen of DENMARK arrived at Kiel on the
15th. Her MAJESTY was received at the gates by
the burgomaster, the municipal council, and a depu-
tation of the university. The burgomaster, in his
address to the QUEEN, entreated her to use her me-
diation between the KING and the people, in order to
put an end to all existing differences. Her MAJESTY
replied in the most gracious manner, expressing a
conviction that in a short time all the differences
would be at an end. The QUEEN then proceeded to
the village of Garden ; whilst there the coachman of
Count BLUCHER ALTONA, haviag for an instant
quitted the carriage, was severely reproached by
his master, on which the crowd interfered and
asked the Count what he meant by his brutal con-
duct towards an honest man. A great number
of students and others surrounded the carriage,
brandishing their sticks, and would have pro-
ceeded to excesses, but for the intervention of Count
DE PREETZ, who remonstrated with them on the im-
propriety of such proceedings in presence of the
QUEEN. The crowd then shouted "Long live the
QUEEN !" and then dispersed. The public meeting
on the 14th, at which nearly 3,000 persons were pre-
sent, went off pretty quiety, but some stones having
been thrown, the commandant of the garrison has
made this a pretext for issuing a proclamation in
which he threatens the use of force in the event of
any attempt to disturb public tranquillity. The
meeting, at the persuasion of the authorities, dis-
persed without coming to any resolutions.
In the German Universal Gazelle, of the 17th,
we find a long article on the MONTPENSIER marriage
considered in relation to the treaty of Utrecht. It
concludes by observing that, if there is nothing in
this treaty to prevent the marriage, it excludes from
the throne the children of the parties.

Madrid papers to the 16th have arrived. Their
contents have been, in a great measure, anticipated
by the telegraphic dispatch, which we published
yesterday.

The text of the address of the Deputies is given in
the Heraldo. It is couched in nearly the same terms
as the address of the Senate. Some opposition is ex-
pected to Senor MoN's Taxes Bill.
The British squadron, under the command of Sir
w. PARKER, arrived at Cadiz on the 11th. The
news of its arrival caused some sensation in Madrid.
Don ENRIQUE'S protest against the INFANTA'S mar-
riage was addressed to Senor SALAMANCA, who
wished to have it read to the Cortes. The
resi dent CASTRO Y OROZCO, however, pre-
vented this being done, stating that as it
had not been addressed to him as President, it would
be contrary to rule to communicate it to the Senate.
It is said that Mr. BULWER'S instructions from his
Government are, to continue to pursue the same
course he has hitherto pursued; to take every ad-
vantage of his position, but to avoid any step likely to
compromise his Government.

there will be a compromise between England and
France on the subject. It says :

" The first sacrifice which it is said has been decided
upon, in order to cam the resentment of some powers,
is the renunciations of the treaty of Utrecht before the
celebration of the double marriage. It appears to us,
however, impossible to renew them without explanation.
In fact, the Duke is Montpensier cannot, on the part
of his children, renounce the throne of Spain, tor that
would be, on the part of the Infanta, his wife, a real
abdication for herself and her descendants of rights
the perfect legitimlcy of which nothing can destroy.
It would, moreover, be to declare the Spanish suc-
cession open at the death of Isabella, who probably will
have no children; and, far from putting an end to the
difficulties of the present state of things, which is the
object or the pretext for this double marriage, it would
be to prepare for a not very distant future similar
complications, and a series of internal troubles. It is
then true that the Duke de Montpensier will renounce
on the part of his children all right to the crown of
France, and thus render impossible the eventual reunion
of the crowns of France and Spain on the same head.
It is not, therefore, just to say that the Infanta Luisa
becomes a French Princess; it is the Duke de Montpen-
sier who becomes a Spanish Prince."

The National declares expressly that the French
and Spanish Governments have offered to regulate
beforehand, in a treaty to be concluded with the
Powers interested in the question, the order of suc-
cession to the throne, in the event of theQuEEN dying►
without issue; they have offered every possible
guarantee to prove to England that they intend to
derive no advantage from the marriage that she might
not enjoy likewise ; England has been given to
understand that France will do her utmost to
procure England ample commercial compensa-
tion ; they have, moreover, promised to obtain of
Spain positive engagements in behalf of the numerous
creditors of the Spanish Treasury ; they have further
propitiated England by deciding that the French Go-
vernment shall use its whole influence in order that
the Spanish navy, which can at present give no um-
brage, may be limited by conventions made in
common." Now, although the National is not very
high as a Court authority, yet we think
that some compromise on the part of
the French Government is about to be pro-
posed. On Monday a council of the personal
friends of the KING was held to deliberate upon the
present state of the marriage question, and it is
thought extremely probable that the Duc DE
BROGLIE will be dispatched to London, to endea-
vour to enter into some arrangement on the subject
with the English Government. The Duc DE
BROGLIE, and all the French Ministers have, it is
said, been from the beginning, opposed to the
marriage, which has been arranged exclusively by
King LOUIS PHILIPPE and Queen CHRISTINA.
If this be so, it is another proof of the danger which
must inevitably arise whenever a constitutional
Sovereign ventures to set at nought the maxim which
is the foundation of all constitutional Monarchical
Government—" Le Roi refine mais ne gouverne pas."
The departure of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER is
postponed, and it is said that he will not now enter
Spain by the Pyrenees, but will embark at Port
Vendres under the protection of Prince DE JOIN,.
VILLE'S fleet, and land at Valencia. This change of
route has taken place in consequence of its having
become known that CABRERA had expressed his in-
tention of securing the Prince on his way to Madrid.
Another account states that the Duke will embark
at Nantes for Lisbon, and proceed through Portugal
to Madrid.
The Commerce states that the Prince DE JOIN-
VILLE has been ordered to cruise with his squadron
off the' eastern coast of Spain, in order to prevent
the landing of any Carlist chiefs, or of any warlike
stores for the use of the Carlist party. A French
squadron will cruise off the northern and western
coasts of Spain with a similar Object.

The Gazette de France states that the Prefect of
Bourges has arrived in Paris, having been summoned
by a telegraphic dispatch, and that he has been very
ill received.

"On Wednesday last," says the Presse, " the
Spanish Generals ALGARA and DE MONTENEGRO, and
the Secretary of Commandment of the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN, M. MON, left Bourges, doubtless with
the consent of the Government. There now only
remain at the Palace the GARCIMARTIN family,
Madame DE MONTENEGRO, Colonel CARJAYAL, and
the domestics."

The Prefect of the Loir et Cher, as soon as he was
informed of the ev-ision of the Cc,nt DE MONTEMOLIN,
addressed to the mayors of the department a circular,
containing a minute description of the person of the
Spanish Pretender as well as that of CABRERA. The
Count is described as follows

" Age 28 years; height 1 mitre 65 centimetres (5 feet
44 inches English); black hair and eyebrows; narrow
and round forehead; brown eyes; large and long nose, a
little bent on one side; middle sized mouth; black beard
worn en collier; round chin, oval face, and dark com-
plexion. The upper lip and the teeth slightly project,
and which is more visible when talking ; speaks French
with facility, but with a strong foreign accent ; the
knees turned in, which is more particularly apparent
when walking ; holds himself very erect ; a turn in
the left eyeball, showing at times the whole of the white;
wears his hat inclinded to the right side, and over the
eyes."
RAMON CABRERA is thus described—

" Born at Tortosa (Catalonia), aged 38 years; height
1 metre 63 centimetres ; black hair and eyebrows; ordi-
nary forehead, greyish brown eyes, middle- sized nose,
mouth rather large, beard black and rather thin, round
chin, oval face, dark complexion. His eyebrows are
bushy, and come close to each other; has a small scar on
the forehead over the left eye, legs slightly bent; never
looks a person in the face when addressing him."

Intelligence from Oran, of the 10th instant, states
that some Arabs of hostile tribes had appeared at
Djemma Ghazaouat, and had exchanged shots with
the soldiers on guard over the herds. General P.
LIME; commandant of the sub-division of Mosta-
ganem, had returned to his post, and was about to
march out at the head of a strong column. Accord-
ing to a letter from Algiers of the 15th, reinforce-
ments have been sent to Orleansville. General LE-
VASSEUR is to have the command of the sub-division
of Milianah.

A new work by the celebrated author of the

during the present week by Mr. Bentley. This emi-
nent author is now by universal consent considered one
of the most original writers of the day, and entitled to
take his place in the first rank of men of genius. His
new book is called " A Poet's Bazaar."
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—In the great
hall of this establishment there is now exhibiting a most
admirable contrivance for the purpose of night signals,
and thereby prevent the frequent and lamentable colli-
sions at sea. These signals are shown and explained at
this institution by Mr. Crisp, in nearly the following
words .:—The Distress Signal not only shows a vessel to
be in distress, but also whether she be sailing or steam
by the position and colour of the light. Steamers are
designated by a red light at the cross-trees; sailing
vessels by a green light at the cross-trees, and a bright
light at the topmast. The lamps are fitted into a box
which 'contains oil, matches, and every requisite, so that
if were necessary to abandon the ship, the lamps might
be handed into the boat and serve the purpose not only
of signals of distress, but also afford warmth and comfort
to tb e crew during the night, and we are informed by
Mr.Aittler, the inventor, one of these lamps can be kept
alight the whole night for the trifling expense of six-
pence.. We trust that this plan may be adopted, as
scarcely a week passes without some vessel being run
down, and entirely for want of some means, by light,
so as to show the pcsition of each vessel.

The parties connected with Spain here, as merchants,
have been placed in a state of anxiety by the rumours
(which there is too much reason to believe are correct),
that the 25th of the present month is the day named
for a general rising or revolt, against the marriage
of the Infanta and the Duke de Moutpensier; at any
rate it is considered certain that, should the marriage
be performed, a state of excitement and alarm will pre-
vail fur a considerable time to come, by which the com-
mercial intercourse with that country must be most
materially impeded.
_ The private letters by the mail from India and China
have been delivered this morning, but they contain little
information, except upon business matters, that has
already been made public. The state of the money
market is represented to be improving rather than other-
wise. We learn from Assam that the cultivation of the
tea plant there was on the increase.
As there seems likely to be an attempt to found a
minor Share-Exchange in London, it wouldseem a fitting
time for the "old house at home" to offer a few extra
facilities to the public at large in the conduct of
their business, which would add to the security at pre-
sent afforded a good deal of satisfaction at the know-
ledge of the terms upon which sales or purchases were
made. In short, as at Paris, the public, or
at least those dealing and giving orders, should be al-
lowed, it is thought, to see their business done from a
gallery or screened apartment, where the prices
called out could be distinguished. No doubt,
the brokers generally do their best for their
clients, but still there are jobbers to be favoured, who
would not be so exclusively dealt with, perhaps, were
there a more open market. Perhaps the following
account of the mode of doing business in the Boston
market may afford a hint:—
" Forty members, more or less, assemble daily between
the hours of eleven and twelve, when every stock on
the list is called over consecutively by the presiding
officer. Each broker has a printed sheet before
him, and records the sales, the price offered, the
prices asked, and the number of shares in each
case. Representing, as they do, the great mass
of buyers and sellers, are thus made acquainted with
the state of the market, and are then prepared. to execute
the orders of their clients understandingly, for buying or
selling either at the board or in the street. The board
is a useful association, and numbers in its ranks gentle-
men of business talents, integrity and wealth."
The English Stock market has been heavy again, and
there has been very little doing. Consols have been
9.51 for present transfer, and 95i 4 for Time. The
premium on Exchequer-bills is I Is. to 14s. Bank Stock
is at 211 for Account.

The Foreign Investments are flat also. Spanish Five
per Cents., 264 i, and the Three per Cants., 37 to 37i.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 411 to 41. Brazil
Bonds have been marked 88k. Mexican Stock has been
neglected at 241 to 25.
Shares have been dull, but at about former rates.
