LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1846.

mzrgtd into one omnipresent sentiment among
Spaniards—a sentiment of deep and indelible
repugnance to an alliance with the ORLEANS
dynasty. That repugnance is cherished so universally,
and is characterised by so much intensity, as to have
amalgamated a disjointed community into one com-
pact and resolute mass. The bond of sympathy, by
which so many otherwise unsympathetic classes have
been collect(d together, is the most potent sympathy
by which a multitude can be inspired—it is a sym-
pathy of patriotism. So serious are the apprehensions
of the populace lest this espousal with one
of the children of King LOUIS PHILIPPE should
conduce to the abasement of their own Go-
vernment and the ultimate domination of
France, that they are prepared to forget all individual
grievances, and to insist, with one accord, upon
the preservation of their nationality. That na-
tionality, according to their opinion, can alone be
ensured by the rejection of the Duc DE MONTPEN-•
sina, and consequently every energy is now im-
pinged upon the latter adventure.
Had the Spanish Administration sought to foster
these feelings of antagonism towards themselves in
the bosoms of the people, they could scarcely have
done so more effectually than by the blundering
efforts they have made for their eradication. The
suppression of newspapers and the seizure of pro-
testations have resulted only in the more intense
hostility of the population. Such additional pro-
cee•lngs as the dismissal of certain celadores, or
police-officers, by PIDAL, the Minister of the In-
terior, simply because of their incapacity to elicit a
counter-petition from the citizens of Madrid, are cal-
culated in no particular to allay the excitement of the
multitude, or to render the arrangements made by
himself and his colleagues more acceptable to the
nation.

The very latest intelligence received from the
Peninsula corroborates all our previous suspicions,
shows the general abhorrence with which the intended
alliance is regarded, and the improbability of its
being completed without some calamitous concomi-
tants. Supposing the Afrancesado policy be persisted
in, a general emeute is not an impossibility. Upon
the opening of the Spanish Parliament, on the
14th instant, everything demonstrated the existence
of these violent sentiments in the public mind.
Count BRESSON was hissed while traversing the
Calle Alcala in his carriage ; a vast concourse sur-
rounded the theatre of Oriente, in which the Congress,
under the presidency of CASTRO Y ORONCO, was con-
vened. The announcement of her MaJasTY's mar-
riage with her cousin, Don FRANCISCO D'Assis,
uttered from the tribune by Senor ISTURITZ, was
welcomed with acclamations, while the official an-
nouncement of the marriage of her MAJESTY'S sister
with the Duc DE MONTPENSIER was received by un-
mistakable expressions of disgust and indignation.
These circumstances carry with them their own de-
ductions—any explication of what may be anticipated
therefrom would be superfluous. One reflection,
however, we would especially force upon the attention
of every one solicitous as to the future reserved for
the Peninsula. While the President of the Council
is trembling with emotion in the tribune of Congress,
in consequence of the groans with which his latter
announcement is received, the Count DE MONTEMOLIN
is issuing a proclamation to the Spaniards, ending
with this significant passage--" Admiring you for
your courage and for your high deeds, I shall know
how to reward them on the field of battle. (Signed)
CARLOS Luis." Looking at these simultaneous in-
cidents in such different directions, we cannot but
feel that while the political affairs of Spain are
sihking into greater embarrassments, the ultimate
consequence of those embarrassments is becoming
each moment more obvious.

Despite the confusion with which the Government
of the Peninsula is threatened, we would, however,
yearn for some timely concession, whereby anarchy
may be prevented and a bloody encounter
with public opinion avoided. The public opi-
nion of Spain is directly opposed to this
union with a Gallic Prince, and public opinion when
concentrated upon a generous object like that of the
perpetuation of nationality, is as omnipotent as any
human force can be. MARIA CHRISTINA will, how-
ever, as a matter of course, strive for the perptuation
of her own nominal supremacy, and Louis PHILIPPE
Will, in like manner, be solicitous for the
perpetuation of his own claim to the glo
rious prerogative of being designated " The
Citizen King." From the combination of those
three endeavours may spring the peacefulness and
the prosperity of the Spanish dominion. The op-
portunity for such a combination still exists. A
short time, and it will have disappeared.

The subject of Irish distress, and the means to be
adopted for its mitigation, command a melancholy
interest at the present period ; there are few philan-
thropists, few Englishmen, of any sect or class, who
will not gladly do anything within their power to
alleviate the sufferings, to relieve the wants of their
Irish brethren. We prize and respect their many
valuable qualities; we regret the errors of the Irish
character—errors of the head and not of the heart—
and which have been produced by a long course of
misgovernment and oppression, by a variety of
exciting causes, which if they existed in our own
country might have produced equal, if not greater,
mischief. The Irishman possesses a heart imbued
with feelings of the warmest sensibility, the most
perfect gratitude and devotion to those by whom
he has been fairly dealt with, by whom he
has been treated with kindness. He endures
afflictions and trials with the most unparalleled for-
titude and patience. Contented with the humblest
fare, he exhibits an example of self-denial that can-
not be exceeded, that is rarely equalled. In dealing
Kith such a people nothing is necessary but a due
appreciation of their character, a respect for their pre-
judices, such as they are, a desire to remove them by
gentle and gradual steps, and. not to offend by too
rude an effort, which, though the object mad• be good
and desirable, may, from too great an anxiety for its
immediate attainment, fail in securing the wished- for
result.

We have recently pointed out a course of proceed-
ing by which great amelioration may be effected in
the condition of the people. We look upon the re-
claiming of the waste lands, that have so long been
permitted to remain idle and unproductive in that
country, as one of the chief means by which
this may be effected. That the gentry are inclined to
the utmost extent to co-operate with the Executive
to do all in their power to carry out the provisions of
the Labour-rate Act to provide employment for the
people, and thus to preserve the peace of
their districts, the proceedings reported in
The Sun of Saturday afford the strongest
testimony. The meetings that were held in
the baronies of Upper Ormond and Skibbereen,
the first that have taken place under the new Act,
are remarkable for the spirit of unanimity by which
the parties who took part therein appear to have been
actuated. Almost for the first time in Ireland there
has been a total absence of that dissension and differ-
ence which has so often marred all the efforts for the
general advantage. In the first named barony pre-
sentments amounting to more than 7,0001. have been
carried, which it is said will supply the necessary
amount of employment, at least for the present, and
which is to be expended on works of practical utility,
although not of a description to yield a direct return
for the money to be laid out thereon. The Tipperary
Vindicator pays a just tribute to the conduct of those
engaged, by saying " that the patience and anxiety
to work out the provisions of the Act of Parliament,
and to obey the proclamation of the Lord
Lieutenant, which all exhibited, was in every
respect worthy of the sacred cause of charity, and of
all who took part in the important and deeply in-
teresting proceedings of the day." It, however, in
the next paragraph points out how wide a field there
i 3 in that barony for a profitable and remunerative
expenditure. It states—" The barony of Upper
Ormond contains about 30,000 acres of land. No
small share of this land is mountain and bog, which
could be reclaimed with comparative facility. We
know how vast the advantage, how ); ; -eturn
such an application of labour and capital would I e,
and how much constant employment it would afford."
Here then is an opportunity at once afforded of test-
ing the principle we have advocated. If carried into
execution it would relieve the other lands from the
burden which must be imposed on them by the re-
payment of the instalments of the Government loan.
We hope that it will not be neglected or cast away.

The same praiseworthy dispo_ition was man f
theSkibbereen sessions; there seven ty-t wo presentment
I were agreed to, involving an outlay of over 40,0001.
A most important suggestion was made for the pur-
pose of devising the best mode of employing the
population on a work of national benefit and of a re-
munerative character, and a resolution founded
thereon was carried—viz, " That a committee be
appointed to meet and take into consideration the
survey of the line of railway now made between
Bandon, Bantry, Skibbereen, and Clonakilty, with a
v:ew of ascertaining the practicability of making a
line of railway in conformity therewith, which may
be available for the purpose of a railroad at a future
period, and of reporting how far it would be reason-
able to call on Government for assistance." Such a
course, if it can be carried out efficiently, must be
most valuable and advantageous. We shall look for
the report of this committee with much anxiety as
the result of the investigation of the deliberate opinions
of practical men, well acquainted with the country
and deeply interested in its prosperity, and in
warding off the existing distress by means the
least burden ome to the property of the district.
they represent. We hope that the example will be
followed, and that committees may be selected at
each of the sessions to inquire into the nature and
circumstances of the waste lands in the several dis-
tricts or their immediate neighbourhoods, with the
probable expenses to be incurred in reclaiming them,
and the return that would be obtained therefor. Such
investigations, conducted under the auspices of well-
informed gentlemen, acquainted with the cost of
labour and the value of land in the localities, would
at once carry conviction to all of the value and the
feasibility of our suggestions.
It is now pretty confidently stated that Parliament
will be assembled in November, in order to remedy
the defects in the Labour-rate Bill, and to provide
other effectual measures for the relief of the distress
in Ireland. The Cork Reporter states that this an-
nouncement was made by the private secretary of the
Lord Lieutenant to the Mallow and Doneraile depu-
tation. If this is well-founded—and we sincerely hope
it may be so. No time is to be lost in the appoint-
ment of such committees, in order that their recom-
mendations may be fully matured and well considered
before the assembling of the Legislature. They
should be enabled to report not merely on the works
which it may be desirable to carry into execution,
but also on the legal difficulties that may possibly be
interposed, and the legislative measures that may be
necessary to overcome them. The Senate can pos-
sibly remain but a short time in deliberation, and
every means should be adopted to lessen their labour,
and diminish the period for which they may be
obliged to devote themselves to public objects and to
dispense with the enjoyments and recreations to which
their valuable labours during the past session so fully
entitle them.

A letter from Constantinople states that a rumour
prevailed at Trebisond that the Russians had sus-
tained a severe defeat from the mountaineers, under
the command of a relative of SCHAMYL.

The Journal de Constantinople of the Ist inst. states
that disturbances had taken place at Erzeroum, in
consequence of the conversion of several Armenian
Catholics to Protestantism. Actuated by religious
fanatacism, the Armenians had attacked the Ameri-
can missionaries and expelled them from Erzeroum.
The American Minister at Constantinople imme-
diately dispatched his Dragoman Secretary to the
scene of the disturbance, and AARIF PacnA was
ordered by the Turkish Government to assist him.
The same journal states that on the night of the
24th of August six hundred houses and several
public buildings were destroyed at Adrianople, by
fire.

There has been some severe fighting between
the Turks and the Kurds. The Turks have de-
termined to reduce the Kurds to obedience. The
latter are commanded by BEDR KIII.II BET, who can
bring into the field 40,000 horsemen.

We extract the following from the Impartial
de Smyrne of the 4th :
"Just as we were going to press we were informed
that the English brig-of-war Syren, commanded by
Lieutenant Lyons, son of the British Minister at
Athens, had captured four pirate-boats mounted by
sixty men. This intelligence is not official ; but we
have reason to believe that it wi.l be confirmed.
The Syren was at Scio, when the master of a
boat, just arriving from the south, apprised Lieu-
tenant Lyons of his having been arrested and
robbed by pirates in the environs of Stanchio. The
commander of the Syren immediately put to sea with two
of the men, who conducted him to a small island, ni•ar
Stanchio, were the pirates were seized, chained, and
removed on board the Syren. That important capture
will no doubt clear the Archipelago, and Lieutenant
Lyons has thereby rendered an immense service to our
commerce."

Madrid papers of the 14th have arrived.
The following was the message presented separately
to each Chamber of the Cortes, announcing the in-
tended royal marriage
" Her Msjesty the Queen has ordered me to inform
the Cortes, agreeably to the terms of the 47th article of
the Constitution, that after a long and attentive examina-
tion of the measures most conducive to the welfare of the
Monarchy and her own happiness, she had resolved to
marry her august cousin the Infante 1)on Francisco
d'Assis Maria de Bourbon. Her Majesty also ordered me
to make known to the Cortes at the same time that
her Royal Highness the Infanta Luisa Fernando de
Bourbon, her august sister and immediate heiress to
the Crown, had, with the consent and sanction of
her Majesty the Queen, resolved to marry his
Royal Highness Prince Antoine Marie Philippe Louis
d'Orleans, Duke de Montpensier. Her Majesty
hopes that those unions will efficaciously contribute to
the welfare and prosperity of the Monarchy, as also to
her own happiness and that of her august sister; and
she flatters herself that the Cortes of the kingdom, who
have given so many proofs of their affection and ad-
hesion to the throne, and of the interest they feel in the
glory and prosperity of the nation and the consolidation
of its institutions, will concur in such consoling hopes,
and pray the Almighty to realize them promptly.
by opening for Spain a new era of peace, concord, and
happiness."

The message having been read,
The Minister of Finance then brought in a Bill au-
thorising the levying of taxes until the close of the
year.

M. ORENSE, amidst a profound silence, rose and
inquired whether the marriage of the INFANTA with
the Duke de MONTPENSIER was to take place imme-
diately, or be postponed until the QUEEN had direct
successors to the Crown ?

M. Iszuanz immediately answered, that the mar-
riages of the QUEEN and the htrANTA. would be cele-
brated at the same time.

Notwithstanding the somewhat impenetrable cha-
racter of the collusion which has recently produced
the arrangements of the double marriage of the
Spanish SOVEREIGN and her sister, LUISA PER-
WANDA, circumstances are transpiring daily, both in
the French capital and in the Peninsular metropolis,
which render the nature of that collusion more and
more ostensible. That these dynastic unions were
germinated by the Ministry of Madrid and the di-
plomacy of Paris, in the persons of Senor ISTURITZ
and Count BRESSON, and that England has been
filled with astonishment both by the unexpected dis-
closure and momentous character of the proposed al-
liance, are facts so wonderfully self-evident as to
force a conviction of their reality upon minds unwil-
ling to acknowledge their occurrence. The more
these proceedings are examined the more are they
discovered to lack precaution, the less do they evince
sagacity, and the greater- are the obstacles presented
in the way of such astonishing precipitation. By
one sudden and unexpected proposition the compli-
cated political machinery of Spain—that machinery
upon the adjustment of which so much specie and
blood and anxiety have been expended—is unhinged
and entangled. By a nomination of an ob-
noxious suitor to the hand of a Spanish
Princess, the whole social fabric not merely
of Madrid, but of the most distant pro-
vinces, is thrown into a lamentable and hazardous
confusion. What had required so many exhibitions
of legislative astuteness and military audacity to
establish, has been perilled by one abrupt proposal—
the marriage of ISABELLA'S youngest sister with
Louis PUILIPPE'S youngest son. An European
peace having been preserved during the last thirty-
one years, it becomes doubly a matter of regret that
any circumstance should have transpired whereby the
maintenance of that tranquillity in one of its
most splendid empires should be jeopardized.
That tranquillity is jeopardized in the Peninsula a
thousand occurrences unite to demonstrate. First of
all, the hostility with which the Due DE MONTPEN-
!HER is regarded throughout the population renders
the pacific consummation of his espousal with the
INFANTA rather dubious. The jealousies of political
have been factions and party animosities generally

M. ORENSE sat down without raising any dis-
cussion; but an attempt was to be made to bring for-
ward a discussion on the following day.
The Congress then proceeded to nominate the
address Committee, which was composed of Messrs.
SARTORIUS, OLIVAN, BENAVIDES, ALVAREZ, PESADA -
HERRARA, GALLADO, and BRAVO-MURILLO. The
Committee on the Bi!l for authorhing the collection
of the taxes is entirely composed of Ministerial
Members, with the exception of one.

Great crowds were assembled about the Chambers,
and scowling faces were numerous, but the public
peace was not disturbed.

A telegraphic dispatch which has been received by
the French Government announces that on the 16th
the Senate, en corps and au grand complet, repaired
to the palace to compliment the QUEEN on her and
her sister's marriages. The address, which was read
by the President, is drawn up in terms of the most
complete approbation. The projected address of
the Congress is drawn up in the same esprit.
In the meantime the hatred of the people to the
French increases every day in intensity, and not
unfrequently shows itself in overt acts. On the 15th
the French workmen on the Aranjuez Railroad were
attacked, and it was only by the intervention of the
military that a serious tumult was prevented.
It was reported that Mr. BULWER had, in accord•
ance with orders from his Government, sent in a
note declaring the 11 arringe of the INFANTA to the
Due DE I\IONTPENSIER impossible, as being contrary
to the faith of treaties.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 14.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 36k for cash ; the Four per Cents., 22 ;
the Five rer Cents. at 23 for oesh; the Drbt without
Interest, at 7; and the Coupons at 201 for cash.

We have received the French papers of Friday And
Saturday.

The state of Spanish affairs, consequent upon the
proposed MONTPENSIER alliance, is the subject a
comment in all of them. The news of tipe escape of
the Count DE MONTEMOLIN from Bourges is con
firmed. His evasion appears to have been a singu-
larly close imitation of that of Prince LOUIS NAPO-

to his departure, the Prince dined at the hotel of Pr,fee-
ture, and that he had expressed himself with great
eneru on the subject ,f the approaching marriace ut
the Queen of Spain, and declared that he should protest
in the strongest manner against it. These expressions
are said to Lave excited some suspicions in the mind of
the Prefect.'

The Journal des Debuts merely announces the fat
of the escape in the following terms:—

" A listier from Bourges, dated the 16th inst , informs
us that the eldest son of Dill C4rlos, Count de Monte-
molin, had just secretly left that town. The cireetion
in which he has proceeded is unknown."
On which the National observes :

"The Journal des Debots informs us that the (blest
son of Dun Carlos secretly left Bourges on the 16th, and
that it was not known in what direwion he had gone.
Was it really on the 16th that this flight took place ?
Was it not before that day? Had not Count do Monte-
molin already crossed the frontier when the Ministry
was infur:red of his escape ? It was not announced to
us that Cabrera had left four days before; we have not
been informed that two other important personages hail
been on the frontier since the 4th in conAant communi-
cation with the ardent Carlist party; we are tot told
that on the 7th 800 muskets were passed into Navarre,
and 1,200 into the province of Tarragon, and that a con
siderable number had also arrived at Urgel. We hold
all these facts as well authenticated as those of which the
Government has given us such a tardy announcement ;
and they give us reason to think that our correspondent
at Madrid was well informed in assigning an early dat,
to the appearance of the Carlist muni'esto and to the
levy of bucklers of that party.'
The Constitulionnei says :

" It would appear that it was on the evening of the
14th that Count de Montemolin left Bourgcs. On
the 12th he dined with the Pretuct of the Cher and the
General Commandant of the department. It is posi-
tively stated that his departure was not known f.r
thirty hours, in consequence of the no-asures adopted,
and which were very similar to those had recour,e to
to conceal for a whole day the escape of Prince Louis
Napoleon. A report has been in circulation to-day
that he has been re-captured at Limoges. dressed as a
cavalry officer. Cabrera, that rich and enterprising
chief of the Spanish Carlists, is, it is said, out of France.
He had recently obtained permission to visit Paris, and
instead of returning to Lyons, his appointed residence,
he proceeded to England."

A proclamation, couched in the most conciliatory
terms, has been issued by the Count DE MONTEMOLIN,
who, according to the rumours current in Paris, had
proceeded to London, for the purpose of endeavouring,
if possible, to effect a fusion of his friends with those
of ESPARTERO. We are, however, inclined to doubt
this rumour, and consider it much more probable that
the Prince is at this moment in Spain, and has left
any negotiations that he may be inclined to open with
the chiefs of the Progre,ista party to be conducted by
his diplomatic agents.
With regard to the escape of CADREILt, we find the
following in the Journal du There :

. " General Cabrera, who was living under surveillance
at Paris, made his escape on Sunday last, and in the
evening was seen at R uen. As soon as his ab'ence
was known orders were sent to Havre to use the utmost
vigilance upon all vessels leaving the port, so as to pre-
vent the General from leaving France."

Notwithstanding "the utmost vigilance," however,
CABRERA has, we believe, succeeded in reaching
England.

The quid nuns of Paris do not hesitate to attribute
these escapes to the connivance of the Government.
They argue that a Progresista rising in Spain is the
thing of all others most dreaded by the supporters of
the MONTPENSIER marriage, and that
,therefore they
set up a Carlist insurrection as a thing that may be
crushed at any time, and which during its subsistence
will give the French Government a right to send an
armed force into Spain, should they deem such a step
adviiable.

The Journal des Debats has the following article on
the subject of the MONTPENSIER marriage, in which
it endeavours to " talk over" the Progressists
Whatever may be said, in spite of all the rumours
which are propagated, and ad the letters which announce
imminent cominotions, Spain remains calm ; she has no
fears, has taken no umbrage ; she very well knows that
it is not at the head of an army, and with lances dis-
guised as whx-lights, that the son of the King of the
French is about to enter het territory ; she bus no fear
for her lib...mien, for the maintenance of which France is
more interested than any other nation in Europe, and
which she has contributed to found and to consolidate.
She well knows that both the Royalties have the same
constitutit nal origin, and that the union of the s,stor of
Queen Isabella with the son of the King of 1830,
can only be an additional guarantee for the security
of institutions founded by the two people en a common
basis. It is no longer France of the empire laying a spo-
hating hand on a constitutional crown, nor France of the
counter herself an auxdiary abso-
lute ptfree"ing i Ftince holding out a hand to free
eLer revolution: it
s
Spain. This is what has been comprehended by the
immense majority of the Spanish people, and we regret
that the Progressist party has not equally undentood it.
That party does not see that it makes use of passions not
its own ; that it makes itself the instrument of interests
which are foreign and even hostile to it. If sets not
that it makes itself the auxiliary of those who have emi-
grated, and of factions whose soul and last hope is in the
renewal of civil discord. We can comprehend the op-
position of the Carlist party, for it is against it that
these events give an irremediable blow. The marriage
of the Queen completes the ruin of their la:t hopes.
Spain appears to have forgotten that there are yet pre-
nders, and does not seem even to suspect their exist.
ence. Ttiat the Carlist party should, therefore, hatch up
some attempt at resistance, that its principal leaders
should hold council with the representatives of the party
which bore the same name in France, would not surprise
us. But what interest can the Provessists—men who pro-
fess particular pretensions to the title of Liberals—have
in disturbing public order, which has been with so much
trouble re-established in their country? They would only
serve the cause of counter-revolution, which they hare
themselves contributea to overcome ; they would only
labour in the interest of a party whose designs. are com-
pletely opposed to their own. They would fight against
their own cause—against that of liberty and of the con-
stitutional Government."

CONSTANTINOPLV, SEPT. 2.—On the night of the
24th of August. a dreadful fire broke out at Adrianop!e,
in the populous Jewish quarter of that city, and, in spite
of the uttowt efforts to arrest the progress of the flames,
destroyed in a few hours 600 homes, large and small,
110 magazines of merchandise, 40 tavt rns, 6 synagogues,
end sevt,ral stores. Above 1,000 families are without
shelter, and the damage caused by this conflagration is
estimated at more than 18,000,000 of Turkish piastres.
Hamistincn, SEPT. 17.—The telegraph has brought
word that the great tire Ebersdorl is confirmed. The
suff,rers have saved scarcely anything. Several children
are said to have been burnt, and many hundred sheep
perished in the flames.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—Yesterday, about one o'clock,
the opening of the beautilul sluice of Heysh took place.
This ceremony tot, acted a great concourse of spectators
from Bruges and from the neighbouring places, who were
eager to be present at a file so important to the inhabi-
tants of Flanders, as it indicates the completion of one
of the most useful works which have been undertaken
for many years, and which will protect the two provinces
of Flanders from the annual ravages of inundation.

The meeting of the cormnission,instii ed fur the ame-
lioration of the condition of the working classes fix d
for Mond::y next. The question for the order of the
day is, to inquire into the measures to be employed under
the present circumstances effectually to assist the indi-
gent, and especially of the population of Flanders, who
were formerly engaged in tne manufacture of linen by
the handloow.

The general programme of the fifes an-1 ceremoni, s
which will take place on the anniversiries in
September, has just been published and placarded by
osier of the magistrates. It contains no other regula-
tion than those which we have all% aTly announced.
The arrivals of corn are at this tine very considerable
at Antwerp, within these three days alone thirty ships,
laden with wheat and rye, have entered this port.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. IB.—We learn with pleasure that
two important projects of law are proposed by the de-
partment of Justice, one on the treatment of lunatics,
and the other on the public pawn establi,ments,
de-Pi,.‘te. and may be laid bef,ire the Chambers at their
next session.

By a ro3 al resolutinn of the 2d of August, M. Callery,
interpreter to the Extraordinary Embassy of his Majesty
the King of the French in China, is nominated Knight
of the Order of Leopold for the active part which he took
in the negotiations, the result of which was to regulate,
on favourable footing, the relations of the commerce and
navigation of Belgium in China.

The Progressists, however, will prove deaf "to
the voice of the charmer." The courier Francais
says—

" The royal message relative to the marriage of Isa-
bella arid the Infanta has already been presented to the
Cortes, and the telegraph deigns to add that the Cortes
received it favourably. This kind disposition on the
part of the Spanish Chamber is as-uredly a great piece
of news. Such a warm resistar.ce and such energetic
protests were expected from it Poor Cortes ! Vas
it worth the trouble to give to the Peninsula repre-
sentative institutions, c, institutional laws, with em-
phatic preambles, in which so much fuss was made about
the regeneration of Spain by liberty? Liberty no
longer exists in any shape in Spain; the press is subject
to a sort of pi.cha, whim they call the political chief of
Madrid, and whose bandos equal in intelligence the most
absurd firmans of Morocco or of ancient Turkey. The
political chief strikes out the articles of the Opposition
journals as it suits his petty caprice ; he suspends the
journals themselves, he suppresses them at his pleasure;
and, in truth, this last insult to liberty is the least
of all; pure and simple suppression is better than
submission every day to the insolent end brutal muti-
lation imposed on the Eco del Comercio, and the other
organs of the Progressist party. The Ca'Anet of Ma- '
drid strangely deceives itself if it thinks that Europe
will reckon for anything the as era of the present Cortes;
we know not whether courageous voices will t e raised
in that assembly, which is void both of intelligence and
of patriotism ; but what we know is, that the assembly
itself would not be in a state to express a Pgal assent if
it had the least respect for that shaesvar of a charter which
has been substituted for the Constitution of 1837. The
Congress will he composed, according to the Ti mpo, of
one hundred members at the most ; amongst this num-
ber there a great many who have been load, d with
favours, aril who by reasen f their recent appointreere
to important offices ought to submit to re-e!ection. They
will nevertheless vote, and the Government of Mad id
will not even think 4,f justifying itself; if reproached in
the Charnbr r, for such a serious infringement on the
express letter of the constitution. What does it matter
to the Spanish Government whether there be such or
such prescription of that illusory constitution? Re-
action would have suppressed even the constitution it-
s( lf, if it had seen in it an obstacle to the accomp!ish
ment of its sinister designs."
The National, which seem; to possess sonsa exclu-
sive sours ,s of information on the affairs of Spin,
says, ;:f ell/quoting various articles '4.in' the Lon lot;
papers, " While the London press writes thus, tb,..
independent journals of At:lli-id break out in execra-
tions, and recal to mind, with all the energy of mis-
sion, every evil which our influence has shed upon this
unfortunate country by incarnatiag with an intriguing

CITY REGISTRATION.

The Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, commenced yes-
terday morninr, in the Court of Common Pleas, Guild-
hall, the list of household voters for the City.
Mr. Wansey, the egfut fur the Liberal party, ap-
peared in support of the claim of John Tubbs, of
No. 4, Dove-court, in the parish of St. Agnes and St.
Ann. In supporting the claim, he took occasion to com-
plain of the conduct of the overseers in several cases,
where they had neglected to put upon the rate-book per-
sons who were legally rateable and were.willing to pay.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that he had found
strong language to be of no use in correcting the negli-
gence of the overseer. He thought the only eff,ctual
way would be to bring an action by way of example.
Mr. Wansey said that he understood the 51st section
of the Act authorised the Revising Barrister to fine the
overseers for neglect.
The assistant-overseer stated that he had not put the
name of Tubbs upon the rate-book until after the claim
was made by Mr. Sidney Smith (of the Anti-Corn-law
League), whose clerk tendered the rates.
After some other witnesses had been examined, it ap-
peared that Tubbs had not authorised any one to make
a claim fur him. He could not write, and the signatures
to the papers put in by Mr. Smith in his: name were
written by his daughter.—The claim was dismissed.

GREA 1' EASTERN AN I) ESTERN

It A ILW AY.
A meeting of the shareholders in this company was
held yeste7day, at the London Tavern; at one o'clock.
Mr. MAUBE,III% having been called to tt e ehain said
the meeting heti bean convened to take the affairs of the
company into e.o:;kderaticin, and to determine whether
the company should be dissolved. The first thing the
gentletnen present would proceed to would be the ap-
pointment of scrutineers.
Messrs. Spackman;. Cohen, and Burby were elected
scrutineers. •
Mr. STA.NDISII AfOTTE begged to ask whether the
meeting, had been • legally convened. He said he
did so, for he hail taken some trouble to inform
himself on the s lbject, and he found the directors
had had good legal advice, to the effect that this
meeting was illegal, and theirs, to be convened on the
23d instant, legal. He submitted that it would be better,
considering there was but a difference now of two days,
to postpone their proceedings until they should meet
with the directors on the 23d inst. It would both be
more judicious and more courteous. He was sir,, that
nothing unfair would be done in this meeting, especially
so long as Mr. Tvlaubert occupied the chair. But the
proceedings here might involve the company in a suit
in a court of law, and put the shareholders to consider-
able trouble and expense without furthering their end.
He therefore moved that this meeting be adjourned till
the 23d inst.
Mr. MALINSON, of Huddersfield. begged to know
ele:, Or whet 10-r the shareholders had given the directors
notice requiring them to calla naeeting? Again, had
they answered that call within a legat time?
6PACKMAN said notice had been given them;
several requisitions had been put into their hands; but
they had not answered these by calling a meeting within
six days.
Mr. MALINsoN—Then wherein is this meeting ille-
gal? He thought they had been duped long enough,
and hoped the meeting would proceed to business.
Mr. MOTTE said he hal the opinion of a highly re-
spectable legal gentleman, Mr. Lloyd, which was de-
cidedly against the legality of this meeting. The
directors could not advertise in the first Gazette after
receiving the requisition, and by advertising in the next
they were delayed beyond the Fix days, but not placed
in an illegal position.
Mr. SPACKMAN explained that the meeting ought to
have been called within six days of the requisition, and
have been held within fifteen days after the appearance
of the advertisement. The directors had not called a
meeting within the six days specified, and the advertise-
ment whieh they had published called a meeting some
nineteen days after ; so that in both respeets their
meeting for the 23d was ill gal. If that meeting then
should be illegal, and this meeting were dissolved with-
out proceeding to business, the shareholders would have
no return for six months to come. But if at this meet-
ing they should vote a dissolution of the company, and
the same determination were come to at the meeting of
the 23d, no harm would be done.

company.
Mr. ITIENRY SMITH moved that this company be dis-
solved.

Mr. WILLIAM LAWRENCE seconded the motion.
Mr. SPACEMAN moved that the dissolution be not an
act of bankruptcy.
The Cmtinmarrr put both questions to the meeting;
and the shareholders proceeded to vote, when there
voted 9,295 for the dissolution, but as 13,500 are re-
quired to make up the one third, the meeting was ad-

Etter of EVa:

An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, at
three o'clock.
Mr. MANGLES, M.P., having taken the chair, called
lon the Secretary, Mr. Rand, to read tie report, from
which it appeared that after liquidating all claims there
remained in hand a balance of 3.1001., divisible among
the proprietors, being 2/. 16s. 4d. on each of the 1,100
shares into which the capital of the compny is divided.
Mr. BLACKBIGRE, in rising to move the resolution,
eulogised the assiduity and attention of the directors.
They went to Parliament in 1843 ; the royal aisent was
given in 1844 to their Bill, and the contracts for the con
struction of the line having been made and fulfilled, it
was in operation in the month of May, 184\ Yet, under
these circumstance,, he lzwlieved the cost of the line bad
b: en a 3 moderate a.,; any railway in the kingdom.
The CHAIRMAN—It is the cheapestin England.
Mr. BLACKMORE continued-1n 1845 there were pro-
j,• cts talk,d of, which, if carried into execution, might
have annihilated their line, but by the efforts of the
directors this company had been able to come to a bar-
gain yr% ith the South Western. The result of that
bargain had placed 3,1001. at the disposal of the
sharcheld, rs. lle moved, therefore, that out of the sur-
plus of 3,1001. there should be a division of 21 ss. a
share amongst the shareholders, and that the balance of
625/. should he placed at the disposal of the directors,
ler their attention to the interests of the proprietors.

Mr. FIELD said he would have. only divided 2/ a share,
but he concurred with the mover, and seconded the re-
solution.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the line cost only 52,0001.
He added that he had only now, on behalf of himself and
the other directors, as this was a virtual dissolution of
,the company, to return the proprietors his sincere
thank, fur the kind support which they had given.
The m...tirm was put and carried.
Mr. ZdARSHALL then mova d a vote of thanks to the
Chairman, %%hien was seconded by Mr. CURRIE, and
passed imunimously-.

EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS
AND 13IRMINGIIA M. JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The first general meeting of the proprietors and
shareholders of the East and West India Docks and
Birmingham Junction Railway Company took place
yesterday, at the Company's offices, 5, Church•past.age,
Guildhall, for the purposes mentioned in the Act of In-
corporation and the Companies Clauses Consolidation
Aut. _ _

John Scott, E-1., took the chair shortly after one
o'cloek, when the seal of the company having been
affixed to the book of registration,
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the proprietors on the
successful result of their application to Parliament, and
trusted that the proprietors would be satisfied with the
exertions that had been made by them on their behalf.
He would now call upon the Secretary to read the report.
The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it
appeared that the receipts were 59.7151., and the ex-
penditure, 8,4291., leaving a balance of upwards of
51,0001.
The report, after a few observations from some of
the shareholders present, was received, adopted, and
ordered to be printed and circulated among the pro-
prietors.
George Carr Glyn, E3q , was appointed- a director
in the room of Pascoe Grenfell, Esq., who had resigned.
Mr. George Grenf 11 Glyn and Mr. Bright were ap-
pointed auditors at a salary of 201. per annum.
BONA,;Y Donnas, Esq., moved that the sum of 1,0001.
should be set :Tart fur the remuneration of the directors
for their past services, and that the same be continued
annually until the opening of the railway.
The motion having been seconded,
A PROPRIETOR moved, as an amendment, that 500/.
instead of 1.0001. he set apart for the remuneration of
the directors. After some short discussion, this amend-
ment was withdrawn, and the original motion carried
unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to the question of a
proprietc r, that due notice would be given to the proprie-
tors of any call that was intended to be made by the
directors. _ _

Captain MANGLES, M.P., thought that after the report
of the Commissioners with respect to the City termini,
this company, if it could come to an arrangement with
the Blackwall Rdlway, would have the only City
ter-
minus. He had been told the Blackwall Company had
a large quantity of land near Fenchurch•street that
would tu.swer the purpose.
The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from a
proprietor, said that it was the intention of, the di-
rectors to allow interest upon the de posits ; that none
of the works had yet commenced, but that a great num-
ber of bargains had been made with landowners upon
the line.
Thauks were then voted to the chairman and directors,
and the meeting broke up.

ELECTRIFIED SPARROWS.— It is not a singular fact
hut it is, notwithstanding, a fact which some of our
r. suers may be ignorant of, that sparrows and other
small birds which happen to perch on those mysterious
lines of communication, the telegraph wires, are des-
tined, ever and anon, to suffer severe shocks of electri-
city, the effect of which is (though we never witnessed
the phenomenon), that they drop down, not dead, but
half dead with amazement and terror. The shock, if
severe enough, would destroy them. Electricity can be
adminia,er, d in doses which would kill a .horse. Per-
haps by transmitting through the tela graphic wire a very
powerful charge, the unhappy sparrows along the whole
line from London to Yarmouth might be cut off. This,
in a ease of necessity, or as a matter of cruel curiosity,
might be employed as a means of getting rid of these
vermin. It is not uncommon or extraordinary to see a
hundred of these feath‘red depredators on one mile of
wire. The length of the whole line of which we
speak is 146 tales. A shock strong enough to de
stroy sparrow life, would, with these data, cut of
from the land of the living, at one fell and fatal
swoop, not less than 14,600 of these pernicious Hoe
creatures. One thousand miles of railway would in like
manner, anil with the sativ, conditions, he the death of
100,000. Even supposing that death does not ensue, yet
so miserable will be the; fate of these Lille animuls
when the whole island is covered with a veritable net-
work of telegraphic wires Fatal twigs these for tiny
faet, The whole family of sparrows will be paralysed.
The fowls of the a:r will be electrified. People as they
talk with each other, and whisper to each other, in un-
heard communion, at the. distance of 100 miles, will be
causing serious inconvenience to the feathered race. If
Lord Palmerston's dream should be realised, and Land,
should beg.n in a few years to commune by telegraph
with Calcutta, how terrible the visitation to our fellow-
bipeds with feathers ! Each word, each letter will be
a shuck. To us it may be pleasing so to hold inter-
course wi:h each other—to the little sufferers it will be
shocking. We tremble to thick of the convequenccs,
gna heartily recommehd the (.I,SO to the Soc'ety for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Dig-carts sink into
insignificance when compai:eil with this wholesale pal
pitation—this tut ve:sal twittering and consternation_

viol be interrupted—how ninny a little tlit%:.at silenced

" Spaniards,—My dignity and my sentinient:4; ri-nder
it my duty to c►wait the result of events which I see
without tistonishment about, to t:coomplish themselves in
Spain; I could 'have wished to hold to what I announced
to -you in my manifesto of May 23, 184 g. I then made
known my principles; I to!d you I had no wher desire
than to draw our country from the abyss into which she
is plunged, to bring about •a lasting reconciliation be-
tween all parties, and to give you the peace - and hap-
piness of which you have so much need, and.which you
so well merit. The rccult; have n•t responded to my
efforts, and your hopes have been di.ceiVed.
" Your duty and my word of honour impose on us
new eff.rts to fulfil our mission.

"Spaniards, the moment which I have sought to avoid
with so much care, at the price of your sacrifices and my
own—that moment is at last come ; it would be a dis-
grace for you and a stain on me to show ourselves less
to-day than we have been up to thii time in the ()Onion
of Europe.

I know no parties, I only see Spanicrds all capable
of contributing powerfully along with me to the success
of the great cause for which Providence r,servus me. I
therefore call you all to me ; I lx,ipe in you all, and I
have no fear of any one.
" Ths cause which I represent is just, no obstacle
must impede us in saving it ; success is crvain, for I feel
sure that you will all answer my appeal, full of zeal,
active, and brave.

" I implore you and recommend you r ot to think of the
past. The era which is about to commence ought not to
resemble that which has precded it. Concord must be
established among all Spaniards ; let the epithets of
parties cease ; let hatreds and remembrances of injury
be buried in forgetfulness.
" Institutions conformable to the spirit of the time we
live in, the holy religion of our fore,athers, the free ad-
ministration of juit'cp, respect for the rights of property,
and a cordial amalgamation of parties, lo ! these are the
principles which guarantee the possession of that happi-
ness which you so fervently desire.
" I will adhere to what I promise and what I offer,
and in the moment of success nothing will be more
sweet, nothing will give me greater satisfaction, than to
see around me neither victors nor vanquished.

" I thank you for all you have suffered, for your con-
stancy and for your prud4ouie.: The admirer of your
courage and your exploits, I shall know how to recom-
pense them on the field of battle.

We have our usual file; of West India papers, but,
with the exception ot congratuLiims on the improved

redeemed.

the habit of working in the same sereitr. .The cou4any
were made up of detached parties, but ail were ordo ly
and sober. In the course of the evening a strange man,
somewhat intoxicated, joined.the company, and broke a
glass, for which he refused to pay t,!:e sum deteand.ed.
This led to a partial disturbance, which iricTuel the
faedlord to send for the police. Sergeant Adams and
two of the constables came into the parlour, v6en One of
the latter, Pro!oert, pushed one of the cemparty, an old
man, down on the floor. This had the e fli et of exas-
perating the company, more especially Clifferd, who
complained of the unnecessary ieterference Of the police
One of the conitables had by that time gone out. Pro-
ber, however, drew out his truncheon, nod, aecerding to

dead. The landlord of the house, with several other
persons, then interfered, and the deceased was taken out
into the air; but as he showed no symptoms of conscious-
ness, it was deemed necessary to procure medical aid.
Mr. Cheatle, surgeon, of Burford, promptly attended,
ant he saw at once that it was a hopeless case. He
found the deceased in a state of collapse, and labouring
ender depression of the brain. Stimulants were admi-
nistered, and the other means used in such cases were
resorted to without effect. The deceased, who never
r.dlied, expired next morning. On a post mortem o-xa_
ruination there appeared a contused wound, two invites
long, which laid bare the skull from the dura nutter to
the pia meter. There was no very great extravasation
if blood, but the pressure of the skull upon the brain
sufficiently neeoUntrd GU' the death of the party. Mr.
Cheatle added that he had attended Clifford, the other
man, who appeared to have sustained some injury about
the head and face, but not of a serious character.
The whole of the witnesses were sever( ly cross-f xa-
mined, either by Probert or his solicitor, for the purpose
of showing that the police, having been in the first in-
stance called in by the landlord of the house, were only
acting in the p3rformance of their duty. end that the
accused had been compelled to use his staff in self-de-
ience. The witnesses all c,incurred in stating that there
was no riot, and that no resistance was offered which
justified the peliceman in using his staff.
Mr. Gaisford, the solicitor for the police, pressed this
point so pertinaciously, that the 0 Ironer was at length
•ompelh d to order the officer to remove him from the
inquest-room.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.—A -114-4.4(itig•
accident (recurred at Newark on I.Vednes!fay last, by
which two then have hat their livt.s, aid two others
been severely injured. It will be necesar3- to Watt.,
:first. that although the Nottini4 ham and Lirei.ln
linil-
wav has been opened some weeks, the station
.s far from being coml late; tied that for st ve ral months
oast a large number ot men have teen employed in cart-
lag earth from Ileac, n in ori:er to raise tin site tq
is proper height. On the morning in question the men
were employed as usual, but at eight i.'clork the greater
part of them had retired to breakfast, four persons only
remaining at work. Thi y were undermining for
the purpose of more rettlily filing a cart belonging
to J. Hallam, one e f the men kilted, when a p-rlion
of the earth suddenly gave may.- Two of them.
fortunately escaped, one of them being thrown to
a considerable distance without sustaireng material
injury. The other two were buried under the earth,
and though one of them was immediately extricated,
his neck was broken, and he was consequently quite
dead. It was not known at the time that another man
was involved in the catastrophe, but finding that one was
still missing, the workmen continued their labours, and
with considerable difficulty succeeded in rei.overing the
other body, but so mutilated that life must hare become
extinct in an instant. Dr. Lacy had arrived before the
last body was dug out, but of course his assistance was
useless. The names of the deceased were Robert Ericgs,
f Newark, a single man, and Joseph Hallam, Rattily,
where he kept a small public house and grocg•r's shop;
he was married, and is reported to have left I I children.
He had only e,mmenced that morning with his horse
and cart to load the earth to the station, and had only
taken two loads when the fa,al accident happeni.d. The
cart was broken to pieces, but the horse was unhurt. At
o'clock in the afternoon ot the same day an inquest
was held on the bodies, and a verdict of 6‘ AecidiAtta,l
death" was returned.

DARING ROBBERIES.—On Friday information of
the following robberies was received by the police:—
From the store room of Mr. Peter's coach factory. Adam -
street West, St. Marylebone, about fifty yards ofcrirnson
lutestriog silk, eleven yards of fine drab cloth, and a pair
of Wellington boots; from the office of the clerk to ti,(
Board of Guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea, six sovereigns,
two half-sovereigns, 13s. 6d. in silver, tivepenee in
copper, and a black dress coat; from the house of Sir
John Hall, her Majesty's Do,:kyard, Deptford, a 10/
Bank of England note, No. 96,005, dated the 4th ef.Tu:y.
1846; from the house of Mr. Brooks, 4, S.uth-row ,New -
road, five silver tablespoons, six dessert spoons, three
teaspoons, three saltspoons, and a soup ladle, all King's
pattern, and four dessert knives and four forks, with
pearl handles.

Mr. Thomas Score, of Okeford-Fitzpaine, Dorset,
has, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop,
with his usual liberality, again reduced the rent of his
land one-third, for the benefit of his poor tenants. It is
sir cerely to be hoped that every wealth) landowner will
follow so praisew,,rthy an xample.—Salisbury Journal.
DREADFUL FIRE IN SWEDEN.—The whole of the
buildings, tools, and materials for working the silver
mines of Sala, about 20 leagues north-west of Stock-
holm, were destroyed by fire in • the night of the 26th
ult., c iusing a loss estimated at 3,000.000 francs, and
putting 2,000 men out of employ.—Galignani.
RAILWAY MEMBERS.—As railways :are becoming
the "Fifth Estate," it is time they should be represented
in Parliament, more especially as it is an estate which
covers more land than all the other estates put together.
We propose, therefore, that members should be returned
to look after the interests of railways. Each railway
should return two or four members, according to the
length it runs, but branch lines should only return ore
member. Each shareholder should have a vote. Thus
we should have the honourable member for the Grand
Junction moving for a return of the passengers on the
Eastern Counties Rana ay who arrived safe during the
last year ; and the Railway should be able to
answer the accusations of rival companies, who are al-
ways throwing stones on his favourite line, with a view,
we suppose, of making the engines trip up. What a
busy scene, too, an election on a railway would be ! We
can fancy the express trains that would be engaged all
day in conveying the voters of each candidate. The
excitement, too, as the state of the poll was declared at
each station, would be immense, whilst the scene f
chairing the member, on a special engine, the whole
length of the line, would be witnessed, in inany cases,
by half a dozen counties. The great booth might be
erected at the terminus, and each voter should be called
upon to produce his scrip, so as to guard against the
pulling of stags. The placards also would be very rich.
We should have " Vote for Snooks and a large dividend"
__..,Eitzjames, the Stoker's True Friend"—" Brown and
Early Trains "—" Plump-rs for Packstone, the Pet of
the North Miidands." We think a raila ay parliament
will soon be added to St. Stephen's ; in fact, the acci-
dents and abuses are so numerous that they acivally re-
quire some engine in the lOuse of Commons to answer
-f)r thm,-414744.

DEATH OF LORD YARDOROUGH.—We have re-
ceived, on the best authority, the following additional
articulars relative to the death of this lamented Noble-
man. His Lordship sailed in the Kestrel in the latter
part of July to rejoin the squadron at Cork, with the
,ull intention of returning to Cowes early in August. It
appears that Lord Wt rsley was prevented by a eh bse
att,ndance to his Parliamentary duties accompanying
his noble father at that time, and that.his Lordship's
second son, Captain the non. Dudley Pelham, who had
accompanied him throughout the early part of the season,
was summoned away upon business of a most urgent na-
ture, which also prevented him from accompinying his
Lordship at the time of the Kestrel leaving C,,wes; but
after the arrangement of that business, he in a w r! s
went to Plymouth to rejoin the yacht, but f and
-he had sailed from Falmouth only a few In,urs pre-
vious to his arrival. His. Lordship appears to have
accompanied the squadron to Lisbon, and it is sup-
posed was induced, by the fineness, of the weather in.
(hat genial clime, and by the hope of receiving as
much benefit from the crui,e as he had usually done, to
linger about much longer than he had intended. He
was compelled to take to his bed on the 22i of Auguvt.,
when the Kestrel's course was trim d homewards, but
owing to a continuwi. 41 of adverse wiTh she had n
progressed further than the vicinity of Vigo, when 7t was
found necessary to put in there-for-the Fake of r;inrding
ease and quiet to his fast appreaching end. His lordship
expired without a struggle en the sth of September, at
4.37 P.M., having to the last moment been attended by
the medical gentleman win-) has for many years, and on
all occasions, accompani,,d his Lordship. The I s o‘.
)eloved and respq,etel a noble:ran will be mo,t,xu n—
sivelv felt, .as the tenants op his Lordship'- vmst
estates, remote from each other th:-.lol.they Ee, have
each and every one exreri,•need some,re7muki,l-;le in-
stance of his disinterestedness and warmth ibf heart.
The members of th Royal Yaeht Squ3dr,m, I‘h.• owe to
his Lordship's judicious and conciliatory rrn-agrres so
much of their present proud position, have testified their
great regret at his loss, as writ as all the inhabitants of
Cowes, by wearing th it flags only half-tnast high. The
Kestrel's arrival with his Lordship's remains may be
daily looked for, as she left Vigo Bay for Cowes on the
9th of the present m ,nth.

ACCIDENT.—DEATH FROM NOT HAVING LEARNED
TO SWlM.—Yesterday morning, a young lad. acting
as call boy on board the Latml Richm ‘,:d steam. boat,
then off Arundel-stairs, while engaged on deck cleening
the fore sponson, lost his balance and fell into the river.
He could not swim, but struggled violently. A g,ittle-
man wbo was rowing past at the time, threw off the
upper part of his dress and plunged in. Theugh he dived
several times, he failed to reach him. Exertions to re-
cover the body, too, were unavailing.

SUGAR CULTIVATION IN THE WEST INDITS.—A
memorial to the Secretary of State for the Colonial De-
partment is being sent round to mercantile houses in
Liverpool interested in the West India trade, praying
for a grant of corporate privileges to those c,,buties, and
for pecuniary asststanee in the way of 1 ..,a,,s, by the
issue of ExAequer-bills upon the security ..f (mufti
central sug-ar works, to be established at places not
named. The mpm,rial states that a plan for separating-;
culture of sugar from the processes of manufacture has
excited mu, h attention, and that it would nsist the
planters by introducing a diVision of labour, with other
practical methods Of -eonotn,y•-• but they are so parlysed
and deprna•Cd, as not to be able to effect this improve-
ment without the assistance of Government, who arc re-
minded that sinikr assistance has been rendered to the
landed interests of Great Britain and Ireland. The me-
morial has not, as yet, met with much sUCCOSS in obtain-
lug signatures.—Manchester Examiner.
