to aspersive bitterness, and a cordiality in
the acceptance of an explanation. In the p?esent in-
stance, for example, we behold the Noble Lord the
Member for Lynn irritated by the utter powerless-
ness of his oratory, and showering the acidity of his
disappointment
_upon the Earl of DALHOUSIE. On
the other hand, we perceive the acknowledged leader
of the agriculturists in the Upper House volun-
tarily affording the Noble Earl the earliest
opportunity of exculpating himself from the charge,
as far as the public were concerned, by asking for the
production of the Canadian documents, upon the arri-
val or non-arrival of which, within a specific
interval, the whole of the imputation rested. As
a mutual example to each other, the possession
of two legislative assemblies would alone be
of inestimable advantage to the community ;
and as it would be desirable for the Commons to imi-
tate the rational brevity of the Lords upon any sub-
sequent discussion, so are we proportionately san-
guine that the Lords will vie with the majority of
the Commons in their final division upon the com-
mercial policy of the Prime Minister.

and states his conviction that such a project, if com-
pleted, would secure the preference of voyagers to all
parts of North America, not only from Britain,
but from every quarter of Europe, and would confer
incalculable advantages upon Ireland, by introducing
capital, and stimulating industry and enterprise. We
have only here adverted to its advantages in the peace-
ful character—the others are not less remarkable, but
our space forbids a further reference at present

Letters from Constantinople of the 21st ult. state
that several regulations favourable to Turkish com-
merce had been promulgated, and that a new mer-
chant flag had been inaugurated and saluted with
21 guns. " This change," says the writer, "is not
without importance. The other flag, with the crescent
and the star, is a religious emblem in hostility to
Christians, who are, however, the most capable and
active agents of commerce and manufactures. The
idea of uniting all the races of the empire, without
any exception of creed, under the same flag, is a first
step towards the equality so desirable of all subjects
in presence of civil law, and a c nnmencement of
political rights accorded to Christians."

Amongst the more remarkable improvements of
recent days, there are scarcely any of so great im-
por.ance as the increased facilities given to travellers,
the comparative speed with which journeys are per-
formed, intelligence communicated, and time and
space practically annihilated by the various disco-
veries of modern science. The more valuable have
been the results of the improvements already effected,
the greater the demand on the part of the public for
an extension of similar accomodation ; and that public
will not rest satisfied with things remaining in statu
quo under the old and exploded system when it is
made perfectly manifest that great amelioration is
still practicable. We now, without hesitation, un-
dertake a journey, perhaps, for a few days pleasure,
at which our forefathers would have shuddered, and
would only have been induced to attempt on the
most urgent reasons—the most pressing con-
siderations. Within a short period the en-
terprise and judgment of an individual
have effected a reduction in the time consumed in
communication with our Eastern dominions to less
than one-third of that formerly required for the same
purpose. And all connected with that vast empire,
either commercially, or from having friends or re-
lations therein, will bear testimony to the great benefit
thereby conferred on the nation. Had it not been
for that improvement we should still be ignorant of
the happy termination of hostilities in India, and the
minds of thousands of our countrymen would be
agitated and disturbed on account of some near and
dear friends. The same intelligent and active person
is now busily engaged in effecting a similar improve-
ment in the intercourse with our Australian colonies;
and, judging from the success which has hitherto
attended his exertions, we feel every confidence that
they will now be rewarded with an equally happy
result. While so much has been done in an Easterly
direction, it is really astonishing that so little has
hitherto been attempted for the amelioration of our
intercourse with the Western Hemisphere, where we
are in possession of vast and important colonies, and
with a neighbour, so powerful for good or evil, as
America, with mercantile and commercial relations of
such magnitude, and with a dark cloud lowering in
the political horizon, threatening war and the inter-
ruption of that peace, so highly prized, so justly
valued; but which, we trust, may be preserved by
mutual forbearance, and mutual concessions, honour-
able to all parties. It is little to be wondered at, if the
public mind should be impressed with the absolute
necessity of immediate steps being taken to effect that
amelioration. The KNIGHT OF KERRY, a Gentleman of
considerable talent and experience, who formerly re-
presented his native county in Parliament, and was
one of the Lords of the Admiralty, has recently pub-
lished a letter to the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, setting
forth the great advantages of Valentia Harbour as a
packet station, and citing the authorities of many and
distinguished persons for that opinion. Indeed, we
can scarcely conceive that the question admits of argu-
ment, and yet it has been stated that the First Lord
has pronounced a decided opinion in favour of Cork,
giving it the preference over Valentia or Bantry.
The Right Hon. Gentleman desires, and we think with
justice, that the question should receive that delibera-
tion and impartial investigation which its importance
deserves.

Intelligence from Athens of the 17th ult. states
that the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. PERSIANI,
had presented to the Greek Government a note on
the subject of the loan, couched in analagous terms to
that of Lord ABERDEEN. It was also stated that for
the future M. PERSIAN' was to receive his instruc-
tions from th 9 Russian Ambassador in England,
M. BRUNNOW.

A correspondent at Hamburgh writes, 28th ult.,
to the Augsburg Gazette :—" A commissary of police
has arrived here from Berlin, to make inquiries as to
the author and the truth of the contents of a letter
sent, a short time ago, to M. DE CANITZ, informing
him that a person of Hamburgh was about to proceed
to Berlin with the intention of killing the KING, but
refusing to give any particulars."

In the month of February AI. RONGE was cited
before the Criminal Tribunal at Breslau, for having
outraged the principles of the various creeds autho-
rised in Prussia, in a work published by him at
Breslau, under the title of " Nene doch alte Feinde"
(" New Enemies and yet Old Ones"). This
suit caused much uneasiness to M. RONGE'S friends,
but the result has been a complete acquittal.
The sentence declares that, " though M. RONGE
does speak in most severe terms of the various reli-

gious communities legally established in Prussia, still
there is not anything that falls under the action of
the criminal law. In consequence the tribunal de-
clares Al. RONGE to be acquitted, and places all the
costs at the charge of the State." A number of
houses in Breslau were illuminated the same evening
to celebrate this decision.

By the Pacha steamer intelligence has been re-
ceived from Lisbon to the 30th ult. At that date the
new Ministry had been definitively constituted as
follows :

President of the Council and Finance Minister.
Duke de PALMELLA.

Minister of War—Marquis DE SALDANRA.
Interior—L. S. M. D'ALBUQUERQUE.
Foreign Affairs—Conde DE LAYRADIO.
Justice—J. F. DE SOURE.
Marine—J. J. LoußEmo.

Lisbon had been the scene of most extraor-
dinary events between the 20th and the 30th
of May. On the 20th Almada, Carilhas, and
several places on the south side of the Tagus
opposite to Lisbon, pronounced. On the 21st,
which was a saint's day, troops were paraded in
the streets of Lisbon, and the people were prevented
crossing the Tagus or promenading in the square of
Terceiro do Paco, facing the river. A collision, in
which many were wounded and some killed, took
place between the troops and the people ; and in the
night the guardhouses of the different stations
were set fire to. This collision had in a great
measure been occasioned by the irritating conduct of
the CanaaLs, who rode openly about Lisbon, as if to
provoke the people. The Duke of PALMELLA was
sent for to form a Ministry ; but the intrigues
of the CABRALS, backed as their influence was by that
of the KING-CONSORT and the personal wishes of the
QUEEN, rendered his efforts for a time abortive. On
the night of the 21st the following proclamation,
signed by the QUEEN, and countersigned by the
Dukes of PALMELLA and TERCEIRA, was issued :

There are two points of view in which the question
must be regarded before a sound conclusion can be
arrived at ; first, in its peaceful character as a packet
station, as giving the greatest rapidity to intercourse of
every kind; and the second, and not less important
one, of a defensive naval station—a preferable point
for the embarkation of troops, whether for general
or colonial service. And in each of these respects,
there are great advantages on the side of Valentia.
It would appear almost a self-evident proposition
—an axiom in geographical science—that the
most favourable position for intercourse with
the west should be from the most westerly
port within our own territory with which easy
intercourse could be established. That principle
has long been admitted and acted on, and it is owing
to its adoption that Falmouth has been selected, and the
Government establishment transferred thereto. If
one degree of westering entitled Falmouth to this ad-
vantage, an additional five and a half degrees west of
Falmouth, and two degrees west of Cork, is surely
no inconsiderable advantage, and should form an
important element in the calculation.
In respect to the time consumed in receiving intel-
ligence, there is little doubt that there would be a
saving of at least four or five days. The same class
of vessels now employed for transatlantic communi-
cation would easily effect the passage from America
to Valentia in six or seven days ; from thence im
portant news might be transmitted to this metro-
polis, to the seat of Government, by means of the
electric telegraph, in an incredibly short space of
time ; but the general correspondence of the country
might, on the construction of a railway, easily be
conveyed, in twenty-four hours, to London, thus
enabling letters from America to be delivered in little
more than a week, or about half the time
now required for the purpose, the great im-
portance of which must be at once obvious to
eNtry man of business in the kingdom ; but, secondly,
and if possible more important, is the great addi-
tional safety to life and property which would be at-
tained by the selection. Every person in the slightest
degree acquainted with shipping affairs must be well
aware of the great additional risk incurred by the
neighbourhood of the land ; a very large proportion
of the casualties, which unfortuately take place, are
owing to the dangerous character of our own coast,
or to the crowded state of navigation in narrow seas.
We have recently had a melancholy instance of the
effects of a collision, by which many lives were
lost, and much property destroyed. Indeed, one of
the best testa of the increased dangers of channel
navigation, is to be found in the higher rates de-
manded by the underwriters, when about to
effect an insurance on a vessel. Probably the
most dangerous coast in the British domi-
nions is that lying between Cork harbour
and Cape Clear; and there is no place of equal
length in which so many wrecks have taken place. By
the selection of Cork harbour as the packet station,
a vessel starting therefrom would have to work

or'p

erna course in the free ocean; while no less then sixty
miles would be necessary from Cork to effect they
sans() purpose. These are considerations of immense
magnitude; and it scarcely requires the imposing
array of names and authorities quoted by
the Right Hon. Knight to convince the public mind
of its great advantages—of its vast superiority. `ye
cannot, however, refrain from bringing forward the
testimony of a gentleman to whose sound judgment
and commercial skill and experience much weight is

" THE QUEEN.
" DUKE OF PALMELLA.
" DUKE OF TERCEIRA.
" Court of Belem, May 21, 1846."
A run on the Bank of Lisbon had commenced on
he 18th, and had continued to the 20th, when the
officials made a representation to the Government, in
consequence of which a decree was issued authorising
the suspension of cash payments for three months.
A similar authorisation was also granted to the
Confiance Company. The Commercial Union Com-
pany, although shut up for two days, had
not suspended cash payments, and its credit
consequently remained unimpaired. On the
22d the Civil Governor of Lisbon, the Marquis DE
FRONTEIRO, was dismissed, and M. POLYCARPIO
JOSE MACHADO was appointed in his place. On the
same day the liberty of the press and the guaran-
tees were granted, and Viscount DE BEIRE was ap-
pointed Governor of Oporto. The appointment of
the Duke of TERCEIRA, who had for years been acting
in concert with the CABRALS, and had held office
under them, gave great umbrage to the people,
more especially as it was understood that
he prevented the Ministry from appointing
any but supporters of the CABRALS to command
in the army, and that it was owing to his influence
that the QUEEN refused to appoint any Septembrist
to the Ministry. The CABRALS, meanwhile, had taken
refuge with GONZALES BRAVO, the Spanish Minister,
and ultimately they embarked on board the Pacha
and landed at Cadiz, where they were received with
great distinction by the Spanish authorities.
The QUEEN, on the 24th, reluctantly consented to
the appointment of Senhor ALBUQUERQUE to the
Ministry; he, however, refused to join a Cabinet of
which the Duke of TERCEIRA was a member, and
the latter was compelled to give way, and resign.
On the 24th the Archduke CONSTANTINE of Rus-
sia arrived, but no attention was paid to
him, and he drove about Lisbon in a hackney car-
riage. On the 25th the Cortes were dissolved, and
the new Cortes convoked for the Ist September. On
the 26th the new Ministry was definitively
formed, and on the 30th the QUEEN was, after much
difficulty, induced to sign a decree granting a general
amnesty to the Almeida insurgents, and re-establish-
ing them in their ranks and places. In Lisbon,
owing to the judicious and conciliatory measures of
the Duke of PA.LMELLA. and his colleagues,
tranquillity had been restored ; but in the pro-
vinces the people still continued in arms, and
with the exception of Lisbon, Oporto, Elvas, and the
towns in the Algarve,
were in possession of nearly
all the principal places. PASSOS MANOEL, who was
a Minister in 1836, had joined the movement. The
people are in possession of the towns and forts on the
Tagus opposite Lisbon, and th 4 country is swarming
with guerillas.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1846,

We have received the Paris papers o t WAnesday.
We give in another column a full report of the
conversation which took place in the Chamber of
Peers, on the day preceding, on the subject of
the massacre of the French prisoners by ABD-EL.•
KADER. This conversation is commented on in all
the journals. The Debats and the Epoque repeat
the arguments used by M. GUIZOT, which they
consider a triumphant answer to the attacks
made on the Government. The Presse condemns
the Government for relying too implicitly on the
representations of Marshal BUGEAUD, and can find no
excuse for the refusal to accept the offer of an ex-
change of prisoners made by ABD-BL-KADER.
The Constitutionnel condemns M. GUIZOT for seek-
ing to make a scape-goat of Marshal BUGEAUD,
in order to shift the responsibility from the shoulders
of the Ministers. To this extent the National goes
with the Constitutionnel, but in blaming the Govern-
ment it also censures severely the conduct of Mar-
shal BUGEAUD. "If the Cabinet," says the Nution,/,
"is the complaisant instrument of Marshal BUGEAUD,
it must bear the consequence of his acts." The
National regards the excuse that is brought forward
by the Ministry, when it says that it would have
been unreasonable to impose a different line of con-
duct upon the Marshal, as perfectly ridiculous. "Of
what use," it asks, are a central Government, an
executive power, and legislative chambers, if the
Government is to have no other guide for its con-
duct than the will of one of its agents ?"
This is excellent reasoning, and when next the
writer in the National feels inclined to condemn
the Government for dismissing an officer (in
Oceanie, for instance) for disobedience of orders,
it would be well that he should recollect his own
questicra—" Of what use are a central Government,
an executive power, and legislative chambers, if the
Government is to have no other guide for its conduct
than the will of one of its own agents ?"
" Whilst M. DE LAGRENEE is detained at Marseilles
by the quarantine regulations," says the Presse,"
CALLER; Secretary-Interpreter of the Embassy, ar-
rived yesterday in Paris, having been prudent enough
to come by the way of England. He is the bearer
cf diplomatic papers of importance."
Surely this will open the eyes of the French Go-
vernment to the absurdity of the quarantine regulations.
The Constitutionnel says—" Questions are about to
be put in the Chamber of Deputies to the Ministers
of Foreign Affairs and the Marine on the sub-
ject of the political and commercial relations
between France and the two Republics of St.
Domingo. Since 1842, M. GUIZOT has eluded,
by deceptive promises, the reiterated applica-
tions for redress from the 37,000 creditors, who
have claims founded on their holding shares in the
Haytian Loans, or for indemnities, They cannot even
obtain their interest, although reduced to 3 per cent.,
and this credit has been acknowledged by several
treaties previous to the formation of the Dominican
State, in 1844, to amount to more than 63,000,000 f."
Both Chambers sat on Wednesday. In the Peers
the Bordeaux and Cette Railway Bill was under
discussion ; and in the Deputies the budget of the
Departments of Commerce and Agriculture. Neither
of the discussions had concluded when the post left.
PARIS BOURSE, JUNE 3.—The rise in the English market
has had a reactionary effect here, and both Threes and Fives
-have improved, the former closing at 84f. 25c., and the latter
at 119 f. 85c. for the end of the month. The market closed as
follows :—Five per Cents., for cash, 119 f. 60c., for account,
119 f. 85c. ; Three per Cents., for cash, 84f. 25c., for account,
84f, 25c.; Bank of France Shares, 3,470 f.; Neapolitan, 102;
Spanish Threes, 38%; Spanish Fives and New Loan not
quoted.

RAILWAYS.—The heaviness which has for the last few
days weighed on the Share Market has been somewhat
removed to-day, and many of the leading lines show better
quotations. For Cash—Paris and Orleans left off at 1,237 f.

A statistical detail, made public this morning, connected with
the rapid advance of the plate and other glass trades, attracts
much attention here, showing clearly, if any other demon-
stration of the fact were required, that the removal of re-
strictions, and lowering of duties, is of incalculable advantage,
not only to manufacturers, but to consumers. It appears
that, in the year 1827, when the price of plate glass, made
in this country, was 12s. per foot, the weekly sales, by the
whole trade, were 5,000 feet. In the following year, the
price was reduced to Bs. and 9s. per foot, and the weekly sales
were 7,000 feet. The year before last plate glass (some of
the Excise restrictions being removed) sold for Gs. and 7s. per
foot, and the weekly sales rose up to 23,000 feet. In the
present year the price is ss. to Cs. per foot, and the weekly
sales now are from 40,000 to 45,000 feet. This is exclusive
of foreign glass.
The compiler of these interesting details says ;
"Looking at the extraordinary increase that has taken
place, notwithstanding the severity of Excise restrictions,- and
seeing that the demand now progresses more rapidly than
ever, even at si. or Cs. per foot, if the prices were reduced
to 4s. or 3s. 6d. per foot ( which, free as the trade now is from
Excise interference, would afford ample profit), what must
then be the demand !!!"
By a report which appears in another column of The Sun,
it will be seen that the Mexican Bondholders, at a meeting
held yesterday afternoon, agreed to the new terms offered by
the republic. In this, no doubt, they did wisely, as, with the
present difficulties encountered by the Government, arising
from the war with the United States, had a contrary course
been adopted, it is very probable that a handle would have
been made of the circumstance to postpone for an indefinite
period the payment of any dividends to the Bondholders.
The Stock Market is very firm again, this being the last
transfer day on the securities, which will shortly pay a
dividend. The reverse at present is the case as respects the
English market in periods of mistrust, when parties often
sell out in apprehension of some untoward event prior to the
re-opening. Consols have been 963/i to 97 for present transfer,
and 97% 14 for account. The premium on Exchequer-bills
has been 225. and 17s. again, being very firm. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% lA, and
the Three per Cents. 95% 34.
The Foreign Bonds are well supported. Mexican have im-
proved to 301/$ vi for the Actives, and to 16% ILA for the
Deferred. Equador Stock has realised 3%. Portuguese
Bonds have been 50 to 52 for the Four per Cents., a fall
that is quite natural, considering the tenor of the news
received from Lisbon. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per cents.
have receded to 601/8 and 59zs.
Shares have been exceedingly quiet, and are not buoyant
in price.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market have been very limited, consequently the stands to-
day exhibited a small number of samples. Still, however,
owing to the prevailing fine weather, the demand for that
article was heavy, and in some instances the quotations had
a downward tendency. In Foreign Wheat, free as well as in
bond, so little was doing that the currencies were almost no-
minal. Barley moved off slowly at barely late rates. We
had a full average supply of Malt on offer, and which sold at
barely previous prices. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, ruled
excessively dull at Monday's quotations.

The supply of Beasts on offer was but moderate, yet the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at about Monday's
quotations. From Holland we received 6 Cows and 100

gheeps ; from Prussia, 20 Oxen ; from Germany, 21 Oxen
and 180 Sheep; and from Scotland, 80 horned and polled
Scots. The numbers of Sheep being on the increase, the
Mutton trade ruled dull, at previous quotations. From the
Isle of Wight 200 Lambs came fresh to hand ; from other
parts the receipts were extensive. All kinds moved off
slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. In Calves
a good business was doing, at, an advance of 2d per 81bs.
Pigs dull, at our quotations. Mulch Cows were selling at
from 161 to 181 each. Suckling Calves, 18s to 28s ; and
quarter-old store Pigs, 16s to 19s each. Beasts, 518 ; Cows,
133; Sheep and Lambs, 10,350; Calves, 375; Pigs, 296.

ment. Under circumstances, the trade purchase very spar-
ingly at this period of the year, but business generally has
been more limited than usual. The market closed at the end
of the month without any alteration in prices. In Virginia,
sales have not exceeded 80 hhds. In Kentucky, leaf and
strips, leaf; 3d. to 3%d. Maryland, a few limited sales have
been at 5%d. to 9d. Havannah Segars have been in fair de-
mand, and sales of good quality, eligible in size for home
trade, have been made to some extent.

We read in the Memorial of Pau :—" The news of
the approaching visit of the Duke and Duchess de
IN'em,aus stems to be confirm‘d. The arrival at Pau' of
M. La Ptrsoline, controller of their household, who has been
ordered to give instructions relative to their visit, and to
engage apartments at Luz. leaves no doubt on the subject.
They will arrive about the 15th of June, and will pass a
month at Pau, and in excursions in the Pyrenees. It lq lied
