truth. The matter, in short, resolves itself into the simple
question, Shall nearly five millions sterling be withdrawn
from the Government Exchequer, to benefit a mere intini-

tessimal section of the community, without in any manner
relieving the people from a burden ? We conscientiously
think that common sense would agree with ourselves in
giving that inquiry a negative.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 24th ult. The
Tiempo, the only Opposition journal published, nobly main-
tains its character; and, though at the risk of prosecution
and the banishment of the editors, sets NARVANZ at defiance.
It calls him one of the Tom Thumb Napoleons, who have
inundated Spain, and considers his conduct as a miserable
parody, in which irascibleness is mistaken for firmness, force
for arbitrary Government, and audacity for genius. The
same journal announces that the Espectador, the Clamor
Public°, the Eco del Comercio, and the Universal, would be
prosecuted for having published that the Constitution
was abolished, and that sufficient guarantees did not
exist in the new system to allow them to de-

n the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the
monthly appointment of Committees on Bills took place.
Both parties collected in great numbers, as several important
questions, threatened by the Opposition, depended on the
result; but they were signally defeated, for the Government
had a majority in all the Committees. The trial of M. BEAU-
vALLow, at Rouen, for killing M. DUJARRIER in a duel, was
brought to a close en Saturday, by the acquittal of the de-
fendant on the criminal charge, but he was sentenced to pay
20,000 f. (8001.) damages, as a compensation to the mother

and nephew of the deceased. The Journal des Debuts
strongly protests against the decree of the Austrian Go-
vernment confiscating the property of Prince and Princess
CZARTORYSKI, and denounces it as an act of vengeance, as
useless as it is unjust.
The victory gained by the Anglo-Indian army over the
Seikhs at Sabraon, on the 10th of February, was known at
Paris on Monday, and appeared to come upon the good
people of that metropolis by surprise. They did not expect
that the warlike Seikhs, so well trained by European officers,
would have been so quickly put down.
According to letters from Warsaw, the Russian Govern-
ment has adjourned for four years the execution of the mea-
sures decreed against the Jews, and which had caused

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday afternoon Were 4,000
bales, 1,000 being on speculation, and ISO for exportation. The
market was very firm, and prices were fully supported. Shares were
mre active, and quotations higher, with a prospect of a further ad-

vance.

The glorious intelligence received from the banks of the Sutlej
yesterday, continues to be the general topic of conversation in the
City, and it need hardly be stated, satisfaction is rendered by a
careful perusal of the full and official details that are now open for
public perusal. Is the military occupation of the Punjaub Is de-
cided upon, until the money demanded for the expenses of the army,
&c. &c., be paid, and a settled and firm Government is established,
it is expected that the army in the East must be much further aug-
mented than at the present moment appears to have been contem-
plated. It is, therefore, not improbable that further contracts will
he taken for the transport service beyond those already announced.
There are not any late Colonial arrivals in the city to-day.
