empires, has imparted a in sil stimulus to the intellect
and trade of the old world, and has proved a mine of in-
exhaustible wealth to the nations of Europe.
The steam-engine has been brought to a point
almost beyond the reach of improvement, it has
become the administrator of comfort and luxury to mil-
lions, performing the utmost diversity of labour, and
promises at length to draw the most remote places into
familiar intercourse, The spinning machines have su-
perseded hand labour almost entirely, and yet offer
greater facilities for employment. Such invariably and
inevitably is the fate of every great innovation when that
innovation is based on truth ; spite of rancour, or abuse,
or misrepresentation, it ever ultimately triumphs : it is
not to be retarded by misapprehension or chicanery— it
is germinated in the human intellect, and consequently
has a sympathetic chord for its appreciation in the po•
pular mind—it is evoked for victory.
Everything tends to demonstrate the speedy advent of
that victory to the Great Truth of Free Trade. Let the
Lords expedite the triumph which the measure is des-
tined, sooner or later, to achieve, and let them facilitate,
as far as Parliamentary decorum will permit, the dis-
comfiture of Ignorance and Prejudice.

A private letter of the date of the 14th May, which
has been received from Lisbon, says that the accounts
from the provinces are not of so favourable a nature as
the official journals of the 13th would fain induce the
public to believe, and that such is the excitement exist-
ing in Coimbra, that the Government, as a measure of
precaution, has closed the University.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Berlin,
which states that the protocol of August 15th, agreed on
between the commissioners of the conference of the three
protecting powers relative to the measures to be taken
concerning Cracow, had received the sanction of the
King of PRUSSIA on the 16th. The exchange of ratifica-
tions was to take place shortly.
According to the Vienna correspondence of the Uni
versal German Gazette of the 23d, a conspiracy had just
been discovered at Rzezow, and several persons arrested.
It is said that the conspirators had plotted the murder of
all the officers of the garrison.
From the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort we learn that
Russia has again applied to the Porte to prevent Turkish
subjects from assisting the Circassians.

Madrid papers of the 20th have been received.

M. MoN was sufficiently recovered to resume the ac-
tive discharge of his duties. Public works, the esti-
mated expense of which will be 84,791,370 reels, are to
be immediately undertaken. They relate principally to
the formation and improvement of high roads. The
Minister of the Interior has sent to the Director-
General of the Public Works a-list of the works to be un-
dertaken.

The Tiempo publishes a letter from Orense on the sub-
ject of the murder of Don RUBIN DE CELIS, at Oporto.
That unfortunate officer was not assassinated by the-
companions of his flight from Galicia, but by two Por-
tuguese, who had been hired to commit the act by persons
of high station who would have been compromised by the
disclosures which Don Rums had threatened to make.
These persons, it is said, had urged Don RUBIN to com-
mence an insmrectionary movement, and had then aban-
doned him.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

The Herald° states that General Pim SAMPER has
been ordered to Corunna, to be tried for breach of
duty in not being sufficiently active in putting
down the late insurrection in Galicia. The same jour-
nal complains of the great extent of the contraband
trade carried on with Gibraltar, and calls the attention
of the Government to the subject. We fear the worthy
writer in the Her aldo has yet to learn his first lesson in
political economy, or he would know that the
only way to put a stop to smuggling is
so to reduce the import duties on the articles
smuggled as to enable the fair trader to compete in the
market with the contrabandist. The heavy import du-
ties of Spain are as great a protection to the en-
couragement of the smuggling interests of the
country as the heavy import duties on corn
(now happily about to cease for ever) in England, have
been a protection of, though not an encouragement to,
the landed interest in England.

There is no quotation of the prices of Spanish Funds
in these journals.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The meeting of the Court of Peers to receive the re•
port of M. FRANK CARRE, in the case of LECONTE,
which vs as to have taken place on that day, was post-
poned no the day following.
The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Monday
with the discussion of the Budget of Expenses of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. Various questions were
put by different Members of the Opposition on the sub-
ject of the foreign relations of France. With re-
gard to French settlements on the Gambia
M. Guazor said, that the only point at issue
between the English and French Governments was
to regulate the right of France to pass the waters of the
Gambia to get at, her possessions. lie thought a spe-
cial convention would be the most advisable method of
regulating this matter ; the same opinion prevailed in
London, and the subject was under the consideration of
the two Governments. The Chamber voted the Budget
without a division.
"There is some idea," says the Piesse, "of the speedy
nomination of General Tiburce Sebastiani to the command of
the National Guard of Paris, in place of General Jacque-
minot, who, it is said, has asked leave to retire, on account
of his he; slth. It is also said that General Baron de Lascours,
now in command of the Lyons division, is to be appointed
to the co amend of the first military division, in place of
General l>ebastiani."
The population of Arriege is in a state of the greatest
misery ixt consequence of the failure of the potato and
maize cr,:,ps.
Algiers journals of the 20th have been received in
Paris. 'The following appears in the Moniteur Algerien
of that d !.te :
" The G overnor-General, on his arrival in the Onarensenis,
immediate ly proceeded against the hostile populations as-
sembled the ravines surrounding the principal mountain.
It may be remembered that it was in these retreats that thek
had collected c n the occasion of our first invasion towards
the end of 1842. The march of Colonel St. Arnaud on the
Oued-el-A.rdlem had been ordered with a view to cut off
their passe ge when the Marshal's troops shall have driven
them front their positions. General Yusuf, after his affair ?f
El-Gharan., found himself obliged to desist from his pursuit
of Abd-el-Kader, to obtain provisions. On the 7th inst., hav-
ing joined the Duke d'Aumale at the camp of El-Brida, he
again left his Royal Highness to enter the Djebel-Amour,
where his adversary had taken refuge ; but, understanding
that the 11:mir had retreated much farther west near Stit-
ten, tie det ermined to stop short in the Djebel-Amour, and
there strengthen our authority. The chief of these moun-
tains, lljell otil, whose conduct has been exceedingly suspi-
cious, did rs of come to the French camp, pretending that he
was ill ; bu t all the populations have placed themselves in
our power. They have been subjected to a fine of 28,000 f.
and 3,000 o xen, which was paid at once. These cattle are
intended to furnish provisions for the province of Algiers,
where much i want has been felt for some time past. General
Yusuf intonds profiting by the complete prostration into
which all tt .e southern tribes have fallen to go and collect
from the Os led-Nayls the large fines which they deserve to
have impose don them. Letters which arrived last evening
from the Ms sshal's column, announce that his operations are
proceeding most successfully. Neither Hadj. Seghrir nor
Bou-Mazy t 'aye been able to organise any serious resistance,
and the trilbes were submitting without striking a blow.
There is, tb erefore, reason to hope that this expedition will
be completeily terminated, and the Marshal back at Algiers
by the begin uing of June."

THE IRISH COERCION BILL.—The fate of " the Irish
Coercion 23111" is sealed. We have the utmost gratification in being
enabled to announce that Lord George Bentinck, the professed and
acknowledred leader of the Protectionist party, has declared the
determination of the great majority of the English agricultural
Members to oppose the future progress of this measure. The Noble
Lord on hfonday last communicated this important intelligence to a
Right Honourable Irish Member, who discharged the duties of Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade under the Melbourne Administration.
Nearly all the Protectionist Representatives voted with the Govern-
ment for the first reading of the Dist' Coercion Bill. They have
since be4owed considerable time and attention in scrutinising the
D'S provisions of the curfew measure, and the result of their delibora- LLO YS HI PPI NG.

(From The Sun:of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 5,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were better, all
good scrip and stock being on the advance.
It is not an uninteresting circumstance to those who watch
carefully the progress of commerce, that the arrivals of pro-
du,e have been recently very large from all parts of the
world, and that, although under ordinary circum-
stances they ought to come to a very good
market, gull the demand for actual consump-
tion, were it in plenire viguer, would probably be
sufficiently large to absorb the whole, yet, from a combina-
tion of adverse causes, our merchants and importers have
long had just reason to complain of the inadequate return
upon their trading capital, and the slack business even at the
prices current. That the passing of the Corn Bill may alter
this we have fervently to hope ; for matters, otherwise, from
bad will be very likely to get to worse.
The English Stock Market has been very firm to-day,
though not active, because of the attention necessarily be-
stowed upon the settlement of the Account. The continua-
tion to July has been 14 to per cent., Consols being 96% %
for present transfer, and 97 to 971% for Account. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has been 20s. to 155., being an im-
provement upon the previous values. The New Three• and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% %, and the Three per
Cents. 95% %. Bank Stock is worth 206%, being very firm.
East India Bonds under 1,0001. are 225. premium.
' The bargains in the Foreign Market have been more
limited even than yesterday. Spanish Three per Cents. have
realised 37% ; Mexican Deferred are 175 3/4 ; Equador, 34 ;
and Chilian Deferred, 5014 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 6014.
For Railway Shares there is rather a firm market, the ac-
counts from Liverpool being more satisfactory, but the busi-
ness done is still comparatively circumscribed.
