mercial freedom, they have those who are desirous of.
emulating their successful and illustrious predeces-
sors. Of this we are assured by authentic informa-
tion received periodically from a variety of sources.
But among the numerous indications of the senti-
ments entertained upon this subject abroad none are
more significant than the banquets given by the in-
fluential merchants of foreign countries to the
Honourable Member for Stockport.
We have already had occasion to allude to the
generous welcome received by Mr. COBDEN in Paris,
in Bordeaux, and in Madrid. On the 2d instant this
public benefactor obtained a similar tribute of respect
and admiration from a large number of the merchants,
landowners, and public functionaries of Seville.
It is just that a man of such personal eminence
should be thus welcomed beyond the boundaries
of his native land ; and it is consolatory to reflect that

the bodily debility which was produced by his ardu-
ous exertions in behalf of the English people has con-
duced to the further dissemination of such ennobling
principles. The speech delivered by Mr. COBDEN at
this interesting banquet, and which was translated to
his auditory, was characterised by the same good
taste and the same contagious earnestness which were
conspicuous in his previous addresses to the French
and Spanish. Aware of the invidious construction which
might be placed upon his remarks, supposing he had
entered into a consideration of the mercantile exigencies
of the Peninsula, Mr. COBDEN confined himself to
merely general suggestions. "If I had been
a Spaniard," he says,
" I could have drawn you a very lively picture of the
pacific benefits which would ensue from the general
adoption of the principles of free trade. I could have
demonstrated to you that nations greatly differing from
each other, if it were possible for them to communicate
their ideas, laying aside their mutual prejudices, would
gain extraordinarily by the acquisition of information
which would be useful to the country, and would increase
its enlightenment."
It is by the assiduous repetition of these truths, it
is by the dint of unstinted logic and consistent reason-
ing, that the advantages of those wholesome doctrines
may be conferred upon distant races, instead of being
restricted to a solitary nation. It is by the communion
of intellect and of heart, to which the Hon.
Member for Stockport alludes, that national mill-.
ties may be eradicated, and peace and cordial regard
permanently and universally established.
By thus striving to diffuse the benefits of free

trade throughout the human family Mr. COBDEN is
entailing upon his name the gratitude not of a single
nation, but of many. He is preaching to Europe a
crusade almost as glorious, and much more utili-
tarian, than that advocated by PETER the Hermit.
The acceptance of free trade throughout the world is
ultimately inevitable.

It has been our pleasing duty on several occasions
to direct the public attention to instances in which
Irish landlords have well and efficiently discharged
the duties incidental to their position. The ad-
mirable address of Mr. ARMSTRONG to his tenants,
to which we alluded last week, called forth our
warmest approbation. It was based on a perfect
knowledge of the duties of a landed proprietor, and a
firm determination to act to the utmost of his ability
in accordance therewith; it exhibited that paternal
solicitude for their welfare that should ever be the
result of the social relationship existing between
them. There was the friendly advice as to the line of
conduct to be pursued; and, far more than that, there
was the placing within their power the means of
acting in accordance with that advice—the earnest
request that they should keep the grain, and other
valuable produce of their respective holdings,
for the support of their families, and not part there-
with, even for the purpose of paying the rent due
to himself. To those to whom employment was de-
sirable he expressed his willingness to take out the
rent in labour at the rates usually paid in the county,
while to those able and willing to discharge the
amounts due by them immediately abatements were
offered on the most liberal scale. It is not merely by
the reductions offered, or the indulgence extended to
the occupiers, that the goodness of the landlord is
evidenced; he should guide and direct his people, he
should permit them to hold their tenements at such
fair and moderate rates as to enable them to reap fair
and reasonable profits for the capital and labour ex-
pended in the cultivation of the ground, and to lay
something by for a rainy day. He should afford
them every encouragement, so as to enable them to
develop the capabilities of the soil, and to bring
it to the highest state of perfection. lie
shoal so act towards them that every in-
dustrious and painstaking man would have a
fair field for the full occupation of his labour,
which in too many instances is his only capital ; he
should show them in what manner the application of
that labour might be rendered most conducive to their
own comfort and permanent benefit, and assist them
with money or materials, which their labour cannot
supply ; and he should satisfy them that they will be
perniitted to enjoy the full fruits of the improvements
they may have effected by their industry, that he
will not deprive them of it by increasing their
rents so long as they choose to remain in posses-
sion, or, if they desire, or are compelled
to change their locality, that they shall receive
the full value in the shape of an increased price for
the good-will, as it is termed, of their holdings.
However it might be sanctioned by the present state
of the law, it would be a grievous injustice if any
man, who had increased the value of his farm solely
by his own exertions, should have his rent raised or
be ejected without receiving ample compensation.
To a certain degree the " tenant right" in Ulster
secures these advantages to the farmers in that pro-
vince, and the natural result has been, that the districts
in which it has been recognised have thriven and
improved in comparison with other parts of the
country. It generates a feeling of independence and
security on the part of the tenant, with or without a
lease. He is convinced that he will not be altogether
deprived of the fruits of his industry, and he is en-
couraged to effect these ameliorations, which are so
beneficial, not only to his landlord and himself, but to
the nation in general. It is little to be wondered at,
therefore, if any infraction of the " tenant right" is
,viewed with a most jealous eye in the localities in
which the custom prevails, and that it creates the
greatest excitement, which it requires much time to
mitigate and remove.
Our attention has recently been directed to a case,
apparently of great hardship and oppression,
.by a
correspondent, who has forwarded us a pamphlet
detailing the particulars of the transaction, and who
has been pleased to compliment us on the part we
have taken on the landlord and tenant question in
Ireland. If the account is a correct one, and we see
no reason to doubt its accuracy, great injustice has
been done to the gentleman who was the sufferer on
the eccasion. Although it is some time since the
circumstance took place, it is still fresh in the recol-
lection of the. inhabitants of the district, and it is said
has deterred many from the free expression of any
political opinion opposed to that of their
landlord. The case to which we allude is
that of Mr. WILLIAM BESWICR, formerly
of Lincabreen House, in the county of Down. It
appears that this gentleman purchased a farm, held
under the Marquis of DowNsulaE, subject to the
yearly rent of 581. 165., for the good-will of which
he paid the sum of 1,0001., and on which he expended
a further sum of 800/., in permanent and lasting im-
provements. In the course of the ten years, during
which he remained in occupation, Mr. BESWICK, in his
pamphlet, asserts that he incurred the anger of the
late Marquis for the active part which he took in
getting up and forwarding petitions to Parliament
for the total abolition of tithes and church cess.
Whatever foundation there might be for this state-
ment, it appears that the rent was raised most
enormously, and that a rent was imposed on the dwel-
ling-house itself, contrary to all former precedent in
that part of the county. The total increase was from
581. 16s. per annum to 174/. Os. 2d., very nearly three
times the former amount. Mr. Beswicx found that
he would be unable to retain possession of the farm
at so high a rent, and was in consequence obliged to
dispose of his interest for a sum of 300 guineas, thus
sustaining a loss of 1,4851. It is said that imme-
diately after his parting with the farm the rent was
again reduced from 174/. Os. 2d. to 1001. per annum'
at which rent. the new tenant was permitted to enjoy
the fruits of Mr. BESWICK'S expenditure. If there
should be anything incorrect in this statement, it is
capable of immediate contradiction. It appears to us
the simple questions are—did Mr. BESWICK payl,oool. 1
for the punch me of the good-will? Did be expend any) t

and what further sum in improvements of a lasting
character ? Waa his rent increased in the manner
above str.ted, and was that increased rent the
value of the land in the state or condition it was
in when 111 r. BESWICK'S predecessor (for whose ex-
penditure thereon he paid 1,0001.) entered into pos.
session, or was it the rack-rent value without making
any allowrnce whatsoever for improvements ? If the
latter, it appears to us that Mr. BESWICK has been
treated in a most unjust and inequitable manner, and
that he is fairly entitled to some compensation for the
losses he has sustained.

It is not our wish or design to cast any imputa-
tion upon the memory of the late Marquis of Dowfl-
SHIRE, however we may have differed from him in
political opinions. 'We always heard and believed
that he was an excellent landlord, a kind-hearted and
benevolent nobleman. We have heard a similar ac-
count of the inheritor of his estates and honours;
we have alluded to the case, because we conceive that.
there must be some mistake somewhere (a most un-
fortunate one for Mr. BEswlcs.), and we trust that
the liberality and justice of the present Marquis will
prompt him to make speedy reparation, if the mis-
take should have been on the part of his father. We
allude to it, in order that if there be error it may be
corrected, and if not, that what we cannot but con-
sider a most injurious precedent may be taken away,
and that the injured man may receive the only
amends now in the power of those who reaped the
benefit of his loss.

The Wilberforce of the day—Lord ASHLEY—must
regard with feelings of intense gratification the
lively interest which' the influential cities, and the
country at large, are at length taking in all matters
affecting the social and moral condition of the people.
The chief pioneer in the work of philanthropy,
Lord ASHLEY, must have his mind replete with joy
to reflect, that, sincere as has been his devotion to the
cause of protecting the physical and mental attributes
of the comparatively defenceless poor, unwearied as
has been his zeal in tracing out the sources of the
general misery by which the humbler classes, to the
extent of millions, are completely encompassed and
fearfully depressed, an anxiety is now generally
manifested, at an earlier period and with greater
strength than his Lordship could have reasonably
hoped for, to follow him through the social labyrinth
which he has so long and ardently traversed,
and to undertake a reformation which has
hitherto been scarcely heeded, and cer-
tainly has been scandalously neglected. In
his peculiar vocation, Lord ASHLEY, we should
imagine, naturally recognised his most enlivening
prospect of success when Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on
assuming the head of affairs, distinctly proclaimed
that the Government would endeavour to rescue the
working classes, by sanatory and educational laws,
from their present prostrate condition. The divided
state of parties is another favourable circumstance
for encouraging the Executive to introduce any
measures they may be maturing, with the view
of promoting the comforts and improving, physically
and morally, the industrial population of these
kingdoms.

Two numerous meetings have just been held—one
in the City, the other in Marylebone—for the purpose
of considering of the best means relative to the con-
servation of the public health, and especially of our
poorer fellow-citizens. The subject is the most im-
portant that can be suggested. The awful details
which have of late years been elicited of the frightful
ravages which it is notorious are daily made
by death, owing to the mephitic state of the atmos-
phere in the crowded parts of our immense
towns, engendered by the absence of any precau-
tionary measures of a sanatory nature, should incite
us, from a sense of humanity alone, to devise and
effectuate every possible means for shielding the in-
digent and labouring classes from the disease and
misery which sweep them off, as it were, with a
scythe, and with increasing numbers, into a prema-
ture grave. But a feeling of self-interest combines
with humanity to impel us to the same end. The
rich cannot be long indifferent to the sufferings of
the poor without being rendered sensible, directly or
indirectly, of the inhumanity of which they have been
guilty. Disease will not confine itself to the pre-
cincts within which it wa►s created. It stealthily ad-
vances from the despised hovel to the splendid
mansion, where a lingering and fatal illness, by over-
taking one or more of its inmates, may teach them
that, had their poorer neighbours not been unfeel-
ingly disregarded, themselves might never have pre-
maturely known the sharp stings of mortality.

Again, though sickness or contagion, dilicting the
poor, may not reach their own well-ordered dwellings,
yet the increased rates, consequent upon the abject
and demoralised state of the lower ranks of society,
will remind the affluent citizen, who chooses to reflect
upon the subject, that in one way or another he
roust sutler, if, in a becoming spirit, the wants of
the poor be not attended to. The mortuary records
testify that, comparing the last quarter with the cor-
responding one of 1845, the increase of deaths has been
115,227. Mortality has been augmented by 9.14 per
cent. The tendency to consumption has increased
25 per cent. ; to typhus, 55 per cent. ; and 18,000
out of 1,000,000 attacked, have died of endemic,
(Tidemic, and contagious diseases. In three large
towns, 95,000, u►►der five years of age, have perished,
out of a population of 1,000,000.
It was stated by a speaker at the meeting in
the City, that " grown-up young men and
women slept in the same bed in these
over-crowded dwellings, and the consequence
was, not only the destruction of all decency,
but of all morality, and a premature development of
the passions, and not only that, but he had known
dead bodies kept so long in them that he had seen the
maggots from them crawling about the room in all
directions."

It is in vain, as has been observed by Lord A sn-
LEY, that we have our churches, chapels, and schools,
whilst we allow the courts and alleys to remain in
their present filthy condition. Good drainage, a con-
stant and abundant supply of water, free ventilation,
extra-mural burial-grounds, are the most obvious

conveniences which should be secured to the poor.
When these wants shall be duly supplied, not only
the health and happiness, but likewise the morality of
the people, will be advanced and developed.

The Journal de Frankfort states that M. DE
GEROLT, the Prussian Charge d'Affaires to the United
States, has prolonged his stay at Berlin, in order to
receive instructions for the conclusion of a treaty of
commerce and navigation between the United States
and the Zollverein.

A letter from Annaberg of 11th November, in the
Leipsic Gazette, says that the day before a tumul-
tuous assemblage of lace-makers, 600 in number,
proceeded to the manufactory of MM. EISENSTUCK
and Co., of that town, and insisted on those gentle-
men delivering up to them a piece of machinery, by
which, they said, their trade would be ruined, and
their means of existence cut off. The proprietors not
only assured the crowd that they possessed no such
machinery, but even conducted them over the pre-
mises, in order that they might be convinced of the
fact themselves. The crowd, after having done this,
withdrew. They then took it into their heads that
the machinery was at Wilsa, and proceeded there ;
but the authorities, hearing of their intention, had
taken measures to prevent any breach of the peace.
Everything was tranquil when the letter was dis-
patched.
A letter from Roveredo, of the Ist inst., states
that the Tyrol has had its inundations also. From
the 28th to the 31st of October it rained so inces-
santly that the Elsch rose above its banks, and did
great damage. . For several days all communications
between the two banks of, the river were interrupted.

The Madrid mail of the 12th had not reached
Paris on Tuesday. The Bordeaux mail had arrived
at the proper time, but without bringing any com-
munication from Madrid ; therefore it is natural to
suppose that the delay must have been occasioned by
some unusual occurrence on the Spanish side of the
Pyrenees.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.

. _
The Dynastic journals still continue to harp upon
the marriage of the Duc DE BORDEAUX as an affair
of no consequence; and the Epoque has the singu-
larly bad taste to sneer at his donations to the poor of
Paris, and his plans for giving employment to the
destitute poor of Chambord.
The Siecle, however, the organ of the ODILori

BARROT party, is more just: after stating that the ai-

sertion of the Debuts, that the forttine of the Duchess
of BoaDEAux was only fcur millions of francs, had
been authoritatively contradicted, and at the same
time admitting that the statement that her fortune

amounted to one 'hundred millions of francs, was an

exaggeration the Siècle thus proceeds :
" The juste milieu between four ancVnii4rlikidied
lions of francs is still very well,-and the totint de Chain...,
herd, if his tastes are simple, may be very well satisfied
with it. It is of less importance, hoWeVer,- in our opi-
nion, for those who take an interest in this Prince, to
know how many millions he has,, than the use lie may
make of them. He has just addressed a letter to the
Marquis de Pastoret, in which he places at the diSporal
of the latter a sum of 40 thousand francs tO•establish
charitable workshops, to provide labour for the indigent
classes in the environs of Chambord. ifthe Prince were
as rich as was first said, with the sentiments of gene-
rosity which ure ascribed to- him, he could' undoubtedly
do more. But the gifts which he bestows for the relief
of constantly increasing misery are not the least honour-
able to him, particularlydf, as we believe, they are dis-
interested.

The Legiti►natist journals as may be easily ima-
gined, are loud in their expressions of approbation of
his conduct, lauding him not only for the sums he
bestows, but for the judicious mode in which he applies
them.

It would appear that M. GuizoT is determined to
pursue a re-actionary and retrograde policy in every
part of Europe. Having been the apologist of Austrian
cruelties in Galicia, he is now about to become the
instrument of Austrian aggression against Switzer-
land. It remains to be seen, however, whether
France, who has herself forced M. GUIZoT to expel
the Jesuits from her own territory, will permit him
to use the influence and power of her name to esta-
blish their domination over the territory of a neigh-
bour. On this subject we find the following in the
Constitittionnel:—
" The eagerness with which our Government placed
itself at the disposal of the Austrian Government, in
what relates to the affairs of Switzerland, is well known.
By the bent of their policy, our Ministers were already
naturally inclined to combat the development of liberal
ideas in the Helvetic Republic, and to lend their support
to the aristocratic and ultramontane party—to impede;
in fact, the action of the democratic cantons. The grand
policy holds revolutions, progress, reforms, and liberals,
in horror ; the guild policy is altogether Conservative.
Besides, our Government had a pressing reason for try-
ing to please Austria. It was necessary to prevent the
Cabinet of Vienna from receiving with too much favour
the complaints of the Cabinet of London relative
to the Spanish murriuga. The occasion, there--
1 fore, which the revolution of Geneva preSented;
was eagerly seized on to become quite on terms
with M. de Metternich relative to the subject of the
affairs of SWitzerland. Could there be any hesitation
to sacrifice the Liberals of Switzerland, when the
French Government was bold enough to justify the acts
of the Austrian Government in Gallicia? This is what'
was resolved,—the two Governments were first of all to
direct, as they have done, some troops of observation
towards the frontier of 'Switzerland, but without any.
project of immediate intervention. It was only foreseen
that the revolution triumphant at Geneva would spread
to the other cantons; Basle (city), Friburg, and Perhaps
the Valais, would imitate Geneva, and probably a ma-
jority would be formed in the next Diet for the dissolu-
tion of the league of the seven ultramontane cantons.
But it is at the execution of this resolution of the Diet
that the Governments of Austria and France intended
waiting for liberal Switzerland. Lucerne, in their opinion,
might be possibly invaded by the federal troops, and see
itself reduced to drive its darling Jesuits from its soil.
The canton of Lucerne is, in fact, easily accessible,
and its inhabitants are much divided; the Liberal party
might triumph by numbers. But when the question
was to be4lto penetrate into the little cantons, those
fortresses of Switzerland, defended by a warlike and
fanatical population, the soldiers of Berne and Zurich
could not tail, it is said, to be beaten. Then, at the
moment when the majority should experience a defeat,
or when Switzerland, tired of carnage, should sigh at ter
repose, it would be suggested to the cantons of the seve-
ral parties to call for the diplomatic, and, if necessary,
fur the armed intervention of Europe. Austria and France
then would hasten to comply with the desires of the Hel-
vetic party; the Powers who are guarantees of the com-
pact would be called in to consolidate the victory of the
primitive cantons ; the compact would; perhaps, be
amended; but great care wouldbe taken, whilst appear-
ing to fortify the central power, to make the ultramon-
tune and aristocratic influence, that is that of the mino-
rity predominant in the Helvetic Government. Such,
we believe, have been the provisions and projects of the
Governments of Austria and France. We hope, for the
sake ot Switzerland, that matters will not pass in this way.
It is probable that a 'majority of twelve votes will be
found in the next Diet for the dissolution of the League
of the Seven. In the sitting of Monday last, the Grand
Council of Geneva formally adhered to the proposition
made by Zurich, to declare the separate alliance .of the
seven cantons dissolved. Basle will, without doubt, imi—
tate this example. But when in the Diet the majority
shall have thus condemned this violation of the compact,
nothing will render the invasion a the seven by the
federal troops necessary. The aggression, on the Con-
trary, will come from the Leaguers, if they shall deter-
mine to oppose by force the prudent resolutions which
the new majsrity shall adopt for Switzerland. It is in
this sense that the Revue de Geneve expresses itself, in
an article remarkable for its moderation. It may, there-
fore, come to pass, that prudence as wellias success will
ho on the side of the Liberals, notwithstanding the sitg.:
gestions and hopes of the Conservative Government.",
In the National' we find, two letters from Madrid
of the 11th, which. state that news had arrived of the
triumph of the insurgents in Portugal. One of'the
letters is as follows :—" Lreceived this instant news
from the frontier of Portugal. The popular party haS
gsined the upper hand. The streets of Lisbon are
filled with armed men, shouting-' Muera la Reyna.'
Her MAJESTY has taken refuge on board the Hi-
bernia." The other letter .says—" M. ISTUEITZ hds
just taken to the Palace decisive news from Lisbon.
We are assured that hardly had the troops left when
an extreme agitation was manifested by the popu-
lation. On the following evening the people invaded
the streets, and cries of death being uttered in all
Farts of the capital, DONNA MARIA thought it prudent
to take refuge on board an English ship. The entry
of the insurgent troops was expected every moment."
It is certainly barely possible that they may have
had in Madrid, on the 11th, later news from Portugal
than we have received by the packet, but it is ex-
ceedingly improbable, and we are not inclined to
attach much credit to this Madrid rumour.
Several Spanish refugees, taking advantage of the
amnesty, have passed through Bayonne, en route fel-
Spain.
The, Bey of TuErs is still at Toulon, and is being
feted daily by the authorities. A letter from that
place of the 14th says—
" The lley of Tunis dined yesterday at the Prefec-
ture, where a large party of the chief persons of the
place were invited to meet him. This morning he was
present at a grand review, given in his honour, and ex-
pressed his admiration at the fine appearance of the
troops. He afterwards visited the hospital, the arsenal,
and Fort Lamalgue. • The Bey wore the uniform of a
general officer, red trousers with wide stripes of gold
lace, a blue tunic, and large epaulettes. He wore the
Greek cap, which has already replaced the-turbamin seve-
ral countries of the East. This costume, less brilliant than
that worn by Ibrahim Pacha, is in its ensembte,f4r, more
European than Oriental. His Highness bad on the
graud cordon of the .Legion of Honour, and on his
breast shone several decorations, amongst which was a
Nichan that was truly dazzling. The Bq appears to be
a man of about 40 Sears of age; he is of middle stature;
his complexion is rather dark, and his hair and beard
are entirely white. The persons who were with .him,
about twenty in number, all in uniform, were. more
advanced in age."
The BEY was to leave on -the 14th,,for,Lyons,
where he is to remain for a few day., expected
in Paris before the end of the week. On -his arrival
he will lodge in the Palace of the:.Blyseer 3ourbon.

MONEY "and COMMERCIAL NEW
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE:
The Cotton Market at Liverrool yesterday was very
quiet. Sales about 5,000 bales, including 1,000 Ame-
rican on speculation. Prices were without alteratioia.
American was the dek.cription principally sold, and at
:Id. to 7d. per lb. Shares were rather more fluctuatinr,.
Accounts from Odessa state that the wheat crop in
the south of Russia has been very abundant, but that
the roads have been so bad as to -render the transporta-
tion of the surplus to the ports of shipment exceedingly
difficult. The, Polish-landlords were very anxious to
effect come improvement in the great road to Odessa,
but it •is said that the Government at St. Petersburgh
had declined to asSist with funds, and the presumed
reason is, that it is jealous of any measures likely
to augment the , wealth and influence of the landed pro-
prietors. The commerce of Odessa suffered, as may be
supposed, from the defective communication, and there
were no less than 100 corn laden waggons sunk in a par-
ticular part of, the main road; which had become rotten
from the heavy rains. A railway from Odessa to Kieff,
it is said, would be of the greatestimportance to Odessa,
though for the reasons stated, Russia may be jealous of
such a work. A large number of ships were lying in
the harbour awaiting supplies of grain from the interior.
In advice's from Frankfort-on-the-Maine it is stated
that the Funds had fallen there, owing to the intelligence
of the incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian empire.
The peculiar position of Frankfort, it was indeed very
natural, should favour lively fears or sympathy when
such news came to band.
The Stock Market looks well to-day, and there is a
steady business doing in Consols at 94i 4'; in New
Three-and-a-Quarter per 'Cents. at 951 to ; and in
the Three per Cents. at 934 to 4. The Unfunded Debt,
however, is again rather heavy, at 9s. to 1 is. premium,
and sales to any extent cannot be effected just now.
Bank Stock is marked 205 to 206, being a slight ad-
vance.
The Foreign Investments have been very inactive.
Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 254, and the Pas-
sives si. Equador Stock has been 31. Dutch Two-
, and-a•Ilalf per Cents. have realised 59 to
Shares have been in fair request generally, but there
- is not so general a tendency to advance. Some lines are
higher, and others rather lower.
