THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1846.

amongst the Spanish multitude a thorough abhor-
rence of everything French has proportionably risen.
Upon this particular, what says the valiant document
penned by the Liberal party to ISABELLA? " For a
century and a half," it exclaims, " an invading tor-
rent has been pouring down upon us from the crest
of the Pyrenees, and,. on all sides destroying our na-
tionality. Our customs are French ; our language
would not be understood by the LEONS, the HER-
RERAS, the CERVANTES, or the SOLIS. Our
fathers could not recognise our costume. Our
Government is French, our Administration is
French ; our laws are framed on a French model."
These are the truths which have long impressed
themselves with a miserable forcefulness upon the
hearts of those Spaniards who have retained an af-
fection for the genius of patriotism ; these are the
impressions which have rankled amongst the popula-
tion during several years, and which the recent pro-
position for an intermarriage between the youngest
son of King Louts PHILIPPE and the only sister of
ISABELLA. has carried to such an excess as to render
a general turmoil infinitely more than probable.
" Nations, Senora," say the Liberalists in
their supplication to her MAJESTY, " nations
have their prejudices as well as individuals ;" and
they might have subjoined with equal veracity that
the antipathies of nations are so much the more irre-
sistible than the antipathies of individuals, as is an
unit inferior in numerical importance to many mil-
lions. The individual antipathy, like the solitary
stick mentioned by .2Esor, may be subdued or broken,
while the antipathies of an entire community, like
the bundle of sticks in the same fable, would resist
all efforts at their destruction. But the document
to which we have already referred is not satisfied with
these significant and forcible declarations; it cries out
as plainly as language can express it, " There is danger
in the proposed alliance with Prince ANTOINE MARIE
PHILIPPE LOUIS D'ORLEA.NS, Due de Montpensier !"
It adjures the Sovereign to prevent an union so ob-
noxious to her subjects generally ; and even utters
these emphatic and earnest words—" Could your
Majesty go amongst the masses of your people, and
hear their voice—the voice of the high, the middling,
and the low—one cry you might hear, one cry
only, and that is, Put no trust in ,France "
When we consider the excitement requisite for the
production of such passionate supplications from such
a people as the modern Spanish to such a
Sovereign as ISABELLA, we cannot but confess to
ourselves that there must be an under-current
of awful and impetuous force already at work.
What will be the course pursued by the political ad-
visers of the Queen of SPAIN ? What will be con-
ceded or required by the KING of the FuENcn ?
They behold the intense repugnance with which the
subjects of the former hear of the marriage
of her sister with the son of the latter ; one
of them is the recipient of various urgent and
eloquent appeals for the rejection of the French
suitor ; the treaty of Utrecht is quoted as a proof of
the impossibility of such an alliance; such violent
articles are written in the Madrid journals, that the
Clamor, the Espectador, and the Eco del Comercio, are
seized by police agents. The latter print actually
maintains that though one hundred thousand
French bayonets came to uphold the claims of the
Due DE MONTPENSIER, the protest of Mr. BULWER
would still remain "to wrap them up in, and Spanish
hawls to break them r Notwithstanding all
these indications of the violent animosities
excited by this matrimonial alliance with the IN-
FANTA, the Gazette officially announces that it has
been " stipulated and agreed to by his Excellency
Don FRANCISCO JAVIER ISTURITZ j" the day of the
Due DE MONTPENSIER'S departure for the Penin-
sula is decided upon ; the trousseau of the
INFANTA is said to be in preparation in the workshop
of a Parisian jeweller, and the very morning of the
marriage is pre-arranged. The ultimate consequence
of such a clashing between the interests of the go
vernors and the governed is manifest.

Amongst the many remedies recently put forward
on behalf of the landlords of Ireland, and for the
mitigation of the existing distress, is one suggested
by Mr. Holta.cz Rocuroter, a gentleman of con-
siderable landed property, a magistrate, and deputy-
lieutenant. He proposes that the State should
become the creditor of the vast majority of the land-
owners ; that the Government should lend money at
three-and-a-half per cent. to all landed proprietors
who possess encumbered estates, to pay off their ex-
isting mortgages, taking from them a first charge
at five per cent., and binding them down to lay out
the difference of interest between three-and-a-half
and five or six per cent. annually on their estates in
permanent improvements, these improvements to be
carried out by the landlords themselves and their
tenants, under the immediate supervision and control
of the Board of Works, assisted by a staff of com-
petent officers. He rather innocently assures us
that the landlords would probably have no objection
to have the State for a creditor instead of an indi-
vidual, and that the paying off of so many mortgages
would have the effect of unlocking so much more
capital for investment in land and its improvement.
Most assuredly modesty is not the prevailing fault
of Mr. ROCHFORT. Often before has the principle
been mooted, aye and acted on, that the country
should lend money on sufficient security for the pur-
pose of being expended on permanent and lasting
improvements ; but it is the first time that the State
has been called on to minister to the extravagance,
the improvidence of one particular class, by lending
money for the purpose of paying off their debts, and
enabling them to improve their estates at the expense
of the nation. We do not know what the landlords
would say if a measure should be brought forward
providing that the manufacturers and millowners (a
really industrious and useful class, employing a vast
quantity of human labour, and of the greatest benefit
to the nation at large) should be permitted to increase
their capital to any extent they pleased by borrowing
from the State, and applying to their own use the
profit to be made thereon over three-and-a-half per
cent., and letting the nation take the risk and respon-
sibility of loss, the entire expense of the staff of
officers who should be employed for the purpose of
ascertaining that the work was duly executed, the
quantity of employment afforded. According to the
terms of the contract, we venture to say that such a
proposition would be received with one universal
shout of ridicule throughout the length and breadth
of the land. It would truly be said to be a most im-
proper and unjustifiable interference with private
speculation ; that the nation should not become money-
lenders, and take upon itself the business of capitalists,
who are always prepared to advance money on
adequate security at a fair and reasonable rate of
interest. And what is there in the present times to
induce Mr. ROCHFORT to believe that a proposition
fully as objectionable, one productive of far less be-
nefit in the way of affording full employment, should
be adopted, for the sole benefit of the landlords ?
Most assuredly he must fancy that the good old days
when the corn-laws were enacted had returned, and
that a legislature could again be found who would tax
the food of the hard-working and laborious artizan,
fetter our commerce, and impose extraordinary re-
strictions on our trade, for the purpose of increasing
the incomes and maintaining in idleness a favoured
class. We shall suppose for a moment that such a
step was practicable; that the 150 millions of pounds
sterling, which would at the very least be required
for the purpose of liquidating the charges affecting
land in Ireland, could be procured ; that there is so
large an amount of surplus capital in the country, '
which could be obtained by the nation at three-a- d
a-half per cent. interest, in addition to the
0:n:
already required for the completion of flde,

the other chi,' ses would submit to the monstrous in-
justice or, beicsg taxed for the exclusive benefit of the
lando'dners—a, supposition that the history and pro-
gre of the Anti Corn-law League renders not very
'probable. Let us inquire where would be the public
benefit commensurate with so great a risk, so large
an expenditure. It would prolong the evil under
which Ireland has been so long suffering, one of the
chief causes of her impoverished and wretched state,
viz., a landed proprietary, who, from their encum-
brances and embarrassments, are unable to discharge
the duties incidental to their property, who exact from I

the unfortunate peasantry the highest rack-rent that
can possibly be obtained. It would put an effectual
stop to all improvement save those effected at the
public expense. Very little, if any, additional la-
bour would be thereby employed ; the same labourers
now occupied would be paid a portion of their wages
therewith ; practically the entire difference of inte-
rest would go into the pockets of the landlords—
they, and they only, would be benefited. A more
simple and proper way of escaping the difficulty
offers itself. Why should those persons who are
placed in such difficulties retain the lands in their
own hands ? There is ample capital throughout the
country for the' purchase of any lands that may be
offered for sale. Why should those persons who are
unable to improve their lands—who cannot give em-
ployment—still retain them ? Why do they not
dispose of them to those who both could and would
develop their capabilities to the fullest extent ? If
there must be an interference by the State, it may be
to compel the sale of any estate or property the
amount of encumbrances affecting which exceed a
given proportion of the estimated value. This, in
Ireland, can be immediately ascertained by simple
searches; and, objectionable as such interference on
the part of the State with private property must ever
be, circumstances may arise as to render it not
merely expedient, but absolutely necessary.

Count SOLAR DE LA. .MARGARITA, the Sardinian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, arrived at Rome on the
3d instant. The Count, +Rho is a great partisan of
the Jesuits, but who is opposed to the Austrian domi-
nation in Italy, comes on a private mission from King
CARLO ALBERTO to the POPE.

Madrid papers to the Bth have been received.
With the exception of the Heraldo, they all con-
tinue to protest most vehemently against the MoNT-
FEMME marriage. In' commenting on the observa-
tions of the Herald° on the correspondence which
has taken place between Mr. BuLwza and Senor
ISTURITZ, the Tiempo says :

" Nothing can be more ridiculous than the late asser-
tions of M. Isturitz, in his reply to the note of Mr.
Bulwer, as reported by the Heraldo. Is the opinion of
England to be consulted on the question of the marriage
of our Queen ? Why not ? Is that of France, also ?
Who can doubt it ? The difficulty,• the evil, is not to
hear those opinions, but to obey them blindly as the
slave obeys his master. To dare to say to England that
she has not a deliberative voice on the question ! Might
it be said that the same has been done towards France,
and that the Spanish Government has closed its ears to
her advice and to her orders ? Such, nevertheless, are
our statesmen !"

The Eco del Conzercio publishes the petition ad-
dressed to the Constitutional QUEEN against the mar-
riage. It commences by congratulating her MA-
JESTY on the choice she has made of her husband in
Don FRANCISCO D'Assm, one of the candidates
pointed out by public opinion, but it deplores that the
satisfaction caused to the nation by that happy news
should be marred by the announcement of the mar-
riage of the immediate heir to the Crown with a
French Prince. It then goes on to show that the
Duke DE MONTPENSIER is incapable of aspiring to the
hand of the Infanta of SPAIN, and argues in favour
of that opinion on the treaty of Utrecht, and the re-
nunciation of Pamir V., for himself and his de-
scendants, of any right to the succession to the
throne of France, and of a similar renunciation of
all the branches of the Royal. Family of France to
the throne of Spain. The actual political consti-
tution of Spain also forbids the KING and his imme-
diate successor from contracting any marriage with
a person excluded by the law, and, consequently,
that the union of the Duke DE MONTPENSIER
with the INFANTA cannot take place without a
violation of a law of the kingdom, and of an
article of the constitution. After setting forth
these considerations, founded on the ancient
laws, and on the actual constitution of Spain,
the Eco adds that the feeling of the nation re-
jects the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. It deplose the
state of humiliation into which has fallen that
Spain so powerful a century and a half ago, which
discovered America, took possession of Africa,
invaded Asia, and was respected by all the nations
of the earth. The manners, the customs, the
government, the laws, and even the language of
Spain have, it says, submitted to the influence of
France ; in the eyes of some bad Spaniards nothing
is good but what comes from the banks of the Seine,
and they only aspire to make of Spain a satellite to
the French planet. It is time that a vigorous hand
should oppose itself to this torrent which threatens to
invade the country. The Eco afterwards explains
the motives which cause the aversion which good
Spaniards bear towards France, by noticing the war
of French invasion, and the persecutions to which
Spanish Liberals have been subjected by the new
Government of France. The Eco concludes by call-
ing on all good Spaniards to affix their signatures to
the petition, pointing out the places where they may
do so. This petition has already received 15,000 sig-
natures in Madrid, and the Liberals of Seville have
signified their adhesion to its principles.
The Herald° contains a reply to the arguments
against the marriage based on the treaty of Utrecht,
and replies that England herself was the first to
annul the treaty by refusing to receive Spanish
sugars. We may, therefore, thank the avarice of our
protectionists, the absurd Quixotism of some of " Les
amis des Noirs," and the pliancy of Lord ABERDEEN
in giving way to the union of folly with hypocrisy
and covetousness for these complications, from the
whole of which we should have escaped if the prin-
ciples of common sense" had been in the ascendant
in the years 1844 and 1845.

The Espectador, the Clamor Publico, and the Eco
del Comercio of the Bth were all seized cn account
of their observations on Mr. BULWER'S note.

The Bolsa was closed on the Bth, as it was the fete
of the nativity of the Virgin.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The following appears in the Llloniteur :
" The journals had announced last year the depar-
ture of M. KLEIN on a mission from the French and
English Company of the Isthmus of Panama, to the
effect of presenting to the Government of New
Grenada the draught of a treaty for the concession
and opening of a communication between the two
oceans. 11.1.1ca.zni has returned from his mission, and
arrived at Bogota with a copy of the treaty, and of
the conditions of the contract for the execution of a
railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, debated
between him and a commissioner appointed ad hoc
by the President of the Republic. This project,
duly signed by the commissioner of the Government,
has been officially communicated to the company.
The latter and the Republic have now only to re-
gulate certain points, which, from their good under-
standing and consideration of mutual interest, they
will speedily arrange.
The MONTPENSIEN marriage appears to be quite as
unpopular with the Liberal party in France as it is
with that in Spain. The following from the flu.
tional will give our readers an idea of the light in
which this union is viewed by the French Republi-

Bulwer addressed a fresh note to M. Isturitz, and after-
wards sent off a courier to London. Last night a courier
arrived at the French embassy from Paris, bearing an
order from Louis Philippe to demand officially the hand
of the Infanta. 'We wait with impatience for the reply
of the British Cabinet, but it can scarcely be here before
the 10th or 12th. We live on .burning coals.' Such
are the principal facts contained in our ♦oluminous
correspondence; we have suppressed all the reflections,
the complaints, and the violent accusations which it
contains. We believe that the marriage of the Duke
de Montpensier will take place ; but we are convinced
that it will infallibly lead to fresh civil wars in Spain,
and to the most perilous complications for France."
The Prince and Princess of SALERNO have left
Paris for Brussels, as the Palace of the ElysLle Bour-
bon, which they have occupied for some months past,
is destined for the future residence of the Duc DE
MONTPENSIER. The Prince was said said to have
said, on parting (in allusion to the attempt of the
regicide LEcoIeTE, from which he, too, was placed in
danger), " Well ! at Brussels we shall, at least, have
no parties of pleasure."

A letter from Oran, dated August 28, published
in the Toulonnais of the 10th, states, that a large
French force was being concentrated on the Moorish
frontiers, as if in anticipation of an immediate attack
on that side, or an invasion of Morocco meditated.

CITY REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
The revision of the list of voters for the city of
London commenced to-day before Mr. Arnold, the bar-
rister appointed by the Lord Chief Justice of the Court
of Queen's Bench. The Learned Barrister sat in the
Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, at 11 o'clock. The
number of voters on the livery list for the year is 7,812,
and on the householders' list, 14,339, making a total of
22,151.

The number of objections taken by the Libera/s to the
livery list is upwards of 300, and by the Conservatives,
577.

The objections to the householders' list by the Li-
berals is nearly 2,000, and by the Conservatives nearly
2,909. According to the statement of the Conservative
party, the Reform Association has objected to 283
liverymen, and the agent of the Anti Corn-law League
to 1,514 householders. There are also doable objec-
tions to 88 liverymen and 359 householders. The
claims to be rated on behalf of the Conservatives are
nearly 700, so that it would appear the Learned Gen-
tleman will not want for employment.
Mr. ARNOLD on taking his seat this morning stated
that it was his intention to give his certificate for costs
at the close of the revision for each list, as he understood
that the course he adopted last year of giving the certi-
ficates at the close of the whole revision had been at-
tended with great inconvenience. The list of freemen,
it is understood, will be taken first, and the parishes
afterwards.

In answer to a question from the Learned BARRISTER,
it was stated by the agents that they were in hopes of
getting as far as the list of dyers to-morrow.
Mr. Wansey appeared as the principal agent of the
Liberals, Mr. Sidney Smith for the Anti-Corn-law
League, and Mr. Samuel Brown for the Conservatives.
The Learned Barrister was occupied the whole morn-
ing with receiving the lists.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. Commissioner iloLnoYD.)

DISCOUNTING TRADE BILLS BY LOAN SOCIETIES.-ELLIS

V. CABINE.

This was a summonsunKiThc Small Debts Act, to
recover debt 161. 9s. 3d., costs 81. 10s. 3d., on a bill of
exchange,

The 'defendant appeared, and was assisted by a solici-
tor, who took an objection that the plaintiff was not
present. _ _

- The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he could only
hear the defendant.

The plaintiff's solicitor said that the debt had been
admitted under a judge's order, and as judgment had
been got on that admission, the defendant could not
question the plaintiff.
The defendant's solicitor said he had most respectfully
to urge on the Learned Commissioner that he had the
right to address the Court on the matter, and would ask
the Court how it could deal with the case in the absence
of the plaintiff?
The Learned CommrssiorgEn said that he could only
hear objections:to the summons by the defendant. The first
course was that the defendant should be examined, and
unless something arose in the examination which would
lead the Commissioners to think that the attendance of
the plaintiff was necessary, the case ought to go on.
The defendant swore that the bill, in itself, was given
bond fide, and that he could and would have met it,
although only the drawer, but the bill had been dis-
counted by a loan society, and no notice had been given
to him in proper time. He was only " the drawer
of the bill; the acceptor had not been sued, and there
was a charge of 10s. for inquiries on the bill being dis-
counted. He thought that he was bound to let judg-
ment go by default, or run the risk of being charged
with a vexatious defence; and he had therefore thrown
himself on this Court.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that under such
circumstances he would not make any order. The de-
fendant had shown cause why he required the plaintitF's
presence, and he not being present to explain, the sum-
mons would be dismissed.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before T. PUCKLE, Esq., and a bench of Magistrates.)
Two young men, named John Purdy and 111 illiam
Moss, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them
with stealing a looking-glass from the shop of William
Holland, at Newington.
The prisoners were seen to. steal the glass, on the 6th
of August, by William Dome, who gave information to
the police, when they were taken into custody by Guest,
No. 62 of the L division.
The latter, in answer to the CHAIRMAN, said that the
prisoners had never been in custody before, and he be-
lieved it was their first offence.

The CHAIRMAN severely censured them, and admo-
nished them as to their future conduct, and sentenced
Purdy to three months' hard labour at Brixton, and
Moss to three months at Guildford,

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
James Rooney, a powerful young Irishman, a stone-
mason by trade, was charged with committing a furious
outrage in Drury-lane last evening. It appeared that
his first freak of drunken violence was to upset a poor
Welsh woman's can of milk, and knock down herself for
cwplaining. He served in the same way two men, who
arempted to protect her from further brutality. But,
upon seeing two or three policemen hastening to the
spot, the prisoner lay down on his back, and feigned to
be insensible and motionless. He was, however, at
length compelled to find the use of his legs, when he
made a desperate but unavailing effort to escape.
The magistrate, Mr. JARDINE, committed him to
prison for six weeks.
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Mr. George Maurice Kurnot,
deputy postmaster of Raleigh, in Essex, was placed at
the bar, charged with stealing out of a letter a Bank of
England note for 5/., the property of the Postmaster
General. Mr. Pocock, the solicitor to the Post-office,
attended for the prosecution; and Mr. Parry, the bar-
rister, appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Hobert Nash, of Whitechapel, a linen-draper,
stated that some days ego the prisoner purchased three
muslin dresses from him, as for his wife and two chil-
dren, The price was 1/. is. (Id., and the prisoner gave
in payment a five pound note, receiving three sovereigns
and silver in ehange, The note was numbered 954,497,
and dated October 13th, 1845. It was a new note. and
the prisoner endorsed it William Browne:, Raleigh."
I.lftlte, a constable attached to the Post-office de-
partment, upon sortteiinforcilatioU whiph he had receited
went tiOrtn 'ftid searched the prisoner's house, where he
lbund the pieces of muslin which had been purchased
with the 5/. notes the subject of the present thatge.. The
officer on seeing the prisoner told him he had been sent
down to make inquiries respecting a Bank of England
note, which was alleged to bait been posted from Folk-
ttdtie, on the 22d of March, in a letter, addressed to Mrs.
Chambers, Hockley, near Raleigh, Essex. The pri-
soner replied that he remembered delivering the letter,
and that when it was opened there was no enclosure in
it—there had been many inquiries about it. The officer
having tblti him that the note had been traced to him
through Mr. Nash, took him into custody. The prisoner
said he had received it from a person who gave his name
as Browne, of Brentwood. Ile showed the constable
other notes which he had in his possessien to show that
he was not in the habit of marking his notes, and he
never could tell exactly from whom he took them. Ile
gave every facility for the searching of his house, but no
letters or vestiges of destroyed letters were found.
Mr. Parry said that the prisoner did not dispute the
fact of having paid away the note. He had received it
in the course of his business, and that was a complete
answer to the case.
Mrs. Faring Chambers, wife of Captain 11. Osborne
Chambers, proved that she received from the prisoner,
on the 23d of March last, at the Post-office, a letter,
which stated that a 5/. note was inclosed in it. Such not
being found to be the case, she wrote to her husband,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday
were 20,000 bales, including 10,000 American; 1,500
Egyptian ; and 1,500 Surat on speculaticn. The ad-
vance in the price of American sorts under sd. per lb.
was about id. per lb., and in those above 5d., id. per lb.;
Egyptian and Surat were also id. per lb. higher.
Holders met freely the extensive demand. Shares were
flat.

There are late accounts from the Brazils to-day. The
most recent date is to the 16th of July. Freights more
scarce. The military operations against Rio Grande
were in active progress.
The following from New York is worth quoting;—
" The commerce of the north and west is developing
itself with a rapidity greater than even the expe-
rience of recent years has warranted us to expect. In
1833, there were on the Lakes eleven steamers, which
cost 360,000 dollars, and which conveyed to and from
the lake ports 61,485 passengers. In 1834, there
were eighteen steam-boats in the trade, which cost
600,000 dollars. In 1845, the following vessels navigated
the Lakes, above the Falls of Niagara. Steamboats
52, 29,500 tons; propellers 8, 2,500 tons; brigs 59,
11,000 tons; schooners 270, 42,000 tons. Total 380,
76,000 tons. The cost of the construction of these
vessels was 4,600,000 dollars. In 1845, not less than
1,500,000 barrels of flour passed over the Lakes, and
250,000 passengers. At the present time, the com-
merce of the Lakes may be fairly estimated at
100,000,000 dollars per annum. This is an evidence
of what will be hereafter. As an illustration of the
character and extent of this commerce, we have
carefully compiled a concise statement of the ex-
ports of Buffalo eastwards, vi& the Erie Canal, for
the week ending Thursday, August 27th, of five leading
articles. The amounts are of flour and wheat, reduced
to barrels of flour 33,065, corn 24,287, wool 188,0001b5.,
lumber 2,000,000 square feet. The amount of tolls paid
to the State on these and other exports of produce east-
ward was 14,885 dolls. It must be borne in mind that
the third week in August is about the dullest period of
the whole season of navigation, the past year's stocks
being then nearly exhausted, and the new supplies hav-
ing yet hardly commenced to come forward."
