LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1846

Towards the conclusion of the late decisive struggle
against monopoly, Mr. COBDEN declared it to be his
firm conviction that the protectionists themselves would
ultimately be among the most enthusiastic admirers of
that extraordinary commercial policy which himself
an 1 his colleagues were then endeavouring to
inaugurate. His Grace of RicusioND, on the other
hand, with his sympathetic howlers of New Bond•
street, pictured to the country nothing hut a lugu-
brious and irreparable desolation to the agriculturists,
supposing the conspirators of the League and their
accomplices in the British Parliament proved suc-
cessful in their machinations. The establishment of
the free-trade principles would, according to their

supporters, lead to a healthful re-organisation of
society ; ,a(triE43:gg to their antagonists, it would
fain&gj bankruptcy inevitable. Before the
4eigai those who were enamoured of
ill- li.nteetruith'<d-654 of England was already sealed-
-4441046. Niere to become overgrown with
retribUrye. uckfeed—the homesteads were to
• • / into rustic Parthenon—and to
_
• dinagiotions it was not altogether

improbable that, upon some future day, thi venerable
figure of the Hon. Member for Stockport might be
discovered seated upon a broken harrow, .amidst the
dilapidation of a neglected cornfield, weeph ig over its
abandonment, as the Roman warrior wept over the
ruins of Carthage. Nothing, indeed, was too deplo-
rable in the way of anticipated miseries, in conse-
quence of the total emancipation of commerce, but
that it could be readily swallowed by the hungry
wretchedness of the sticklers for protective imposts.
A powerful and organised conspiracy had, according
to their insinuations, been formed for the destruction
of English agriculture ; simultaneously with the
triumph of that conspiracy would be the down-
fal of our farming interests ; the yeomanry, so
long vaunted, would be driven into the manu-
facturing districts, to subsist upon the casual
halfpence of the cotton- spinners ; the British
Lion would be rendered impotent by a premature de-
crepitude, and, after the approved fashion of Borrosf,
"roar like any sucking-dove." Those were the prog-
nostications of the Parliamentary protectionists :
have those prognostications been realised, or is there
even the merest shadow of a promise of their
realisation ?
Rents have not fallen—and, what is more signifi-
cant, the tenant-farmers have evinced no shyness in
entering upon fresh leases. The corn market is not
flooded by an inundation of foreign grain
.in conse-
quence of the relaxation of the import duties—and,
what is still more, British wheat has been exported in
no inconsiderable quantities since the period of
that relaxation. Are not these undeniable facts
sufficient testimony that the apprehensions of
the enemies to free trade were groundless?
Is any additional evidence requisite ? The agricul-
turists afford that evidence themselves. It is im-
possible not to have recognised a modulation in their
tone ever since the memorable passage of the Corn
Importation Bill. Every successive meeting by
which they have been congregated together has de-
monstrated the collapsing and self-consuming nature
of their confidence. During their first lamentable
efforts at conviviality, in the shape of banquets, their
courage was visibly becoming " small .by degrees ;"
subsequently it became " beautifully less," and now it
has almost entirely evaporated. During the Black-
wall dinner, for example, the spirit of abused agricul-
ture was absolutely rampant with indignation, while
at the dinner of the fleets Agricultural Society, on
Wednesday evening, the spirit of that same agricul-
ture was peculiarly quiescent and conciliatory.
This banquet, indeed, might be taken as a specimen
of the useful purposes which such assemblages might
tend to promote. Everything like political animosity
aas scrupulously avoided, party squabbles were
forgotten, and the speakers particularly aimed at the
propagation of friendly sentiments among all classes,
while they addressed themselves with the most prac-
tical earnestness to the promotion and improvement
of the agricultural interests. Since the glorious
visions of free trade have been realised by the
acquiescence of Parliament, no such generous lesson
has been afforded to the protectionists as this
dinner in Hertfordshire. The different speeches
uttered on this very interesting occasion were fraught
with kindliness and sound sterling sense ; and al-
though the observations of the Noble Chairman,
Lord DACSE, were in an eminent degree
characterised by those qualities, the most prac-
tical and benevolent remarks pronounced during
the evening were those which fell from the lips of Sir
EDWARD BULWER LYTTON. While the brother of
the Honourable Baronet is fulfilling the expectations
of his countrymen, by representing the British Go-
vernment with mildness, with dignity, and
with determination, in one of the most de-
licate dilemmas by which the European Courts
have been agitated for many years, it is
gratifying to observe Sir EDWARD endeavour-
ing to sow the seeds of brotherly love in a moral soil,
which has been latterly rendered barren by the heat
of political cabals and factious animosities. The rich
mind of the illustrious litterateur has not been ener-
vated by the protracted indulgence of the imaginative
faculties, and after having adorned the literature of
his country by a library of eloquent and fanciful
compositions, Sir BULWER LYTTON can return among
his fellow-men, to breathe into their hearts an un-
known charity towards each other, and to inculcate
truths of a homely but humanizing character. These
are the expressions applied by Sir EDWARD to the
English farm-servant, and deeply do they
plead to Government. " The faults of the
labourer," he observed, " were the faults of
the law ; his virtues were his own. It was
the fault of the law that the labourer had been left
ignorant ; it was the fault of the law if he had not
been taught in his youth the value of independence,
the misery of intoxication, the fatal results of those
disorderly habits which might perhaps commence in
the venial offence of snaring a hare for love of sport,
but led him step after step to the workhouse, the
hospital, or the prison. These were the faults not of
the proprietor, not of the labourer, but of the law, in
riot providing a sufficient education fur that class of
the community."
Among the many admirable recommendations
uttered by the Hon. Baronet, we would especially
refer to that of the diminution of the stock in pre-
serves. We have not the opportunity, however, of
even epitomising the address of Sir E. BULWER
LYTTON, or of making more than an allusion to this
provincial assemblage—an assemblage which appears
to be the best of all recent auguries of success to
British agriculture.

At a time when the state of Ireland so entirely
depends on the course about to be pursued by the
landlords and proprietors of the soil in that country,
when the peace and tranquillity of the nation is at
stake, and the eyes of all in the United Kingdom are
directed to the parties who are bound to meet the first
shock of the encounter, it is cheering to witness the
example afforded by a resident Irish nobleman, the
owner of large estates, who has ever fully and
efficiently discharged the duties incidental to his
position, who has made the welfare of his tenantry,
the promotion of their interests, their advancement in
the social scale, the first object of his life, the great
end of his care and exertions. There are few con-
nected or acquainted with Ireland who have not
heard honourable mention of the Earl of EasE, who
have not seen recorded in the daily press accounts of
his periodical meetings with the tenantry on his
several estates, the friendly advice offered to all, the
paternal aid afforded to those who have been afflicted
by unforeseen calamities, and who in consequence
have been obliged to bespeak his forbearance, or to
seek more immediate assistance. Much was to be
expected from such a man, and his example was
the more eagerly looked for, as, in all human pro-
bability, it would be followed by many of the lan-
lords throughout the country. It must be borne in
mind that occupiers of land on the Erne estates were
fair better prepared to meet an emergency like the
present than, perhaps, those of any other locality
throughout the kingdom : they held their lands at
such a fair and moderate rental, that every man
could, under ordinary circumstances, pay the rent he
had assumed, support his family in comfort and
respectability, and lay by something for a rainy day,
or for the period when age and infirmity would pre-
vent him from earning his bread by the sweat of his
brow. They were taught new and improved methods
of agriculture, to develop to the utmost the produc-
tive qualities of their several holdings, rewards were
given, and every inducement held out to the indus-
trious and careful farmer to stimulate him still
further in seeking his own benefit, his own advance-
ment. As might reasonably he expected, want or
destitution was unknown throughout the extensive
districts that hailed him as their landlord and bene-
factor. Every man possessed a comfortable cottage,
a sufficiency of warm clothing and of plain and
wholesome food, and the condition of the people in
general might perhaps challenge a comparison with
that of any in the British dominions. In determining
on the course to be adopted Lord ERNI was resolved
to bear proportionately with his people the loss they
had sustained; he wished that the deprivation to
each should be proportioned to his habits of life; he
considered that the small farmer was, under the
present calamity, a greater sufferer than the larger,
that he probably had as many to support on more
limited means, and not having much land, he had
little produce to spare for the market this year. The
large farmer, on the contrary, had the advantage of
unusually high prices, which would nearly compen-
sate /dip for the loss of his potato crop ; his Lordship

has, therefore, adopted a general scale of allowances to
be made to all his tenants who live by farming on their
own industry, which is greater in proportion to the
smallness of their holdings. Tenants-at-will, whose
yearly rent cornea under 101., or those having leases,
if they are valued by the poor-law up to the rent
they hare to pay, to be allowed half-a-year's rent, or
10s. in the pound ; those similarly circumstanced,
whose rent comes between 101. and 151., to be
allowed 6s. Bd. in the pound, and those between 15/.
and 201., ss. in the pound, while those whose rent
exceeds 201. are to be allowed the rent of the land
they had planted with potatoes for their own use.
The proposition so made by his Lordship appears to
hare been highly satisfactory to the people. It was
received with loud cheering and cries of " It's fair,"
while the general body promised to abide by its terms.
Sincerely do we hope it may be in our power to
record many similar acts of other landowners. It is
by such means only, and by providing ample employ-
ment for the labourers throughout the entire kingdom,
that the storm can be weathered, the impending
catastrophe averted, and the disturbances that have
recently taken place in the counties of Cork and
Waterford prevented from spreading throughout the
land. It will undoubtedly fall most heavily on those
already embarrassed by the weight of charges and
encumbrances, but where the national interests
are so deeply involved, all cases of individual
hardship must necessarily be overlooked. Indeed,
we think that lasting benefit to the country
may be the result of the present failure if
it will induce the proprietors to turn their
attention to the mode in which the vast quantity of
labour may be usefully employed, and the entire of
the lands throughout the country reclaimed and
brought into the hizhest possible state of cultivation.
Many, too, may be induced to withdraw from the
position they are unable properly to maintain with
comfort to themselves or advantage to those de-
pendent on them. In many of the baronies the sums
presented far exceed the valuation of the land, and
although that value may possibly be increased by the
making of new roads, and improved facilities of com-
munication, the repayment of the instalments will
fall with extraordinary weight on the landlords. In
the barony of Murrisk, where the Ordnance valuation
of the land amounts to but 16,0371., the sums pre-
sented are no less than 82,0001., or more than five
times the annual value. In another, that of Bur-
rishoole, 80,0001. has been presented, to be levied out
of lands of the annual ♦alue of 22,597/. In such cases
the landlords must expect to pay nearly 10s. in the
pound out of their incomes for the next ten years,
even supposing that they are not subjected to charges
of any other kind whatsoever. Again, therefore, we
repeat that which we have so often lately sought to
impress upon the people of Ireland, viz., that the pro-
prietors of land throughout the kingdom can only
escape from their difficulties by taking immediate steps
for the reclaiming the waste lands, and improving
the condition and bringing into the highest cultiva-
tion all the other lands at present in tillage, but
which are still in want of such improvement.

The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelli-
gence from Malta of the 22d, Constantinople and
Smyrna of the 18th, and Athens of the 20th of
August.

The Ottoman Government was proceeding gradu-
ally to introduce various reforms in the administra-
tion. The trial of STAMATIADI, who attempted the
life of the Prince of SAMos, is still proceeding, but as
the prisoner is under Russian protection, it is not
probable that he will be punished.

The insurrection in the Pachalic of Trebisond is
now nearly quelled, thanks to the energy of OIiAIL
PACUA, a renegade German. HUSSEIN BET, the chief
of the insurgents, was sent by SCHADITL to raise the
province, in order to create a diversion in his favour
during his invasion of the Russian territories.

The Moniteur Grec declares that there is no truth
in the report of the capture of sixty pirates at Syra
by her Britannic Majesty's gun-brig Syren.
An ordonnance, issued by the Greek Government,
establishing a colony for the refuge of Thracian,
Bulgarian, and Servian refugees, has created con-
siderable excitement among the members of the corps
diplomatique, as it is considered to indicate, on the
part of M. COLETTI, who is the mere creature of the
French Government, an intention to excite an insur-
rection in the Grecian provinces of the Turkish
empire.

On the 17th ult. the whole of the bread baked for
the troops stationed in Rome was distributed among
the poor, by order of the POPE, and the contractor
and three bakers imprisoned in the Castle of St.
Angelo. It appeared that one of the soldiers had sent
to the PorE a loaf which had been given to him by
the contractor, which was so bad in quality as to be
almost unfit for food. His Holiness c:hused an in-
quiry to be instituted, and it was discovered that the
contractors and bakers had been guilty of the grossest
peculation. The former will probably be subjected
to a heavy fine, besides being forced to refund his
ill-gotten gains. The POFE is now busied in pre-
paring the constitution he intends to give to his
subjects, which is to be published on the Bth of
November, when he formally takes possession of the
Church of St. John of Lateran.

The KING of the FRENCH is exceedingly annoyed
with the reigning Duke of MODENA, for permitting
the sister of the Duc DE BORDEAUX to contract a
matrimonial alliance with a member of the Ducal family.
The French Consul at Modena is withdrawn, and
there is no French agent in the Duchy. The ire of
the KING of the FRENCH will not be diminished
by the marriage of Prince MARIE of Modena with
the Archduchess BEATRICE D'ESTE, which event is
announced in the Frankfort Journal of the 29th ult.

Madrid papers of the 26th ult. have arrived.
On the evening of the 25th Mr. BULWER had had
a conference with Senor ISTURITZ on the subject of
the unfounded assertion made by the latter in the
Chamber of Deputies, that England had opposed the
marriage of the QUEEN with Don FRANCISCO even
more vehemently than she had opposed that of the
INFANTA, and had proposed another candidate for the
Princess's hand.

The Minister of War, in answer to Senor Rutz DE
OLANA, said, in the Chamber of Deputies, that
the Government had nothing whatever to do
with the expedition of General FLORES against
the republic of the Ecuador, but after the specimen
of "enormous lying" exhibited by the Prime Minis-
ter in the matter of the marriage, the public will re-
quire some corroborative evidence before they re-
ceive as truth the assertions of any member of the
ISTURITZ Cabinet.

The deputation appointed to receive the Due DE
MONTPENSIER at the frontier left Madrid on the 25th.

We have received the Pal is papers of Thursday.
There was a serious emeute in the Faubourg St.
Antoine, the old classic ground of democratic revolu-
tion, on the evening of Wednesday, occasioned by a
rise in the price of bread. An account of this bread
riot will be found in another column.

On the same day a courier was dispatched by the
Marquis of NORMANDY for London, with the reply of
M. GUIZOT to the protest of England against the
marriage of the Due DE MONTDENSIER. The Prince
DE JOINVILLE has been ordered to Cadiz, and con
siderable alarm has been excited in Paris lest any
collision should take place between the English
squadron, under command of Sir W. PARKER, which
it is said has been reinforced by eight ships, and the
French, under the command of the Prince DE JOIN..
VILLE. The marriage is again the subject of com-
ment in all the papers except the Journal des Debats.
In reply to an article which appeared in the Debats of
the preceding day, in which the writer, in alluding to
the report that the British Parliament would meet in
November, endeavours to persuade his readers that
the Spanish question will not be discussed, the Con-
stitutionnel says—

" The Journal des Debats has not failed to declare
that this extraordinary convocation of Parliament had
no connexion with the affairs of Spain, and that the
famine in Ireland was the only motive that bad deter-
mined the English Ministry to call together the Lords
and Commons. In support of this assertion the Ali-
risterial print has drawn an alarming picture of the
situation of the Irish people. The English journals
are of quite a different opinion from the Debats. It
is now a week since they all announced that the Ministry
would seize on the occasion to assemble Parliament,
and that the affairs of Ireland would stand for nothing
in the extremely probable determinatim of the Cabinet.
They remarked that Parliament, before separating had
voted an ensemble of measures, on the probability, long
before arrived at, of the distress which now appears in
Ireland, and that is addition it had invested the Qabinet

with discretionary powers. The meeting of the two
Houvs, they observed, could add nothing to the re-
sources and powers which the Cabinet could dispose
of, and it had no need to solicit from Parlia-
ment a liberty of action with which it had b( en
invested for the last two months. What, then, is
the real motive of this extraordinary convocation
of Parliament? That which at once occurs to every
one, and ell eagerness of the Debats to deny it
is an indirect avowal of the fact. The D6bats pretends
to take another view of the matter, though in reality we
cannot see for what purpose. Supp se, in fact, that the
situation of Ireland is the decisive reason of this meet-
ing of Parliament, who can be induced to believe that
the Houses will have met a single day without the
question of the Spanish marriages being immediately
brought forward ? The English Parliament is net
like the Spanish Cortes, and any single Member can
bring this grave question before the House. The
declaration of the Times, that if the English
Houses had been sitting the French Govern-
ment would not have been so precipitate in its pro-
ceedings, cannot be forgotten. Does the Dibais believe
that explanations will not be demanded from Lord
Aberdeen of what passed at Eu, and concerning the con-
vention which England pretends to have been violated
by our Government? The English Cabinet has
published in its journals, that on the Spanish question
the present Ministers were perfectly in accord with their
predece,sors, and the latter have not protested against
the assertion. The declaration is therefore
true. Can it be believed that the Whig Mi-
nistry is so little adroit as not to call forth a
manifestation of opinion from the English Houses,
and not to surround itself with the prestige of the
unanimity of Parliament ? Ought not this unanimity,
which assures it the complete accord of its predecessor,
become for it an additional argument, and, at the same
time, the full justification of the line of conduct, good
or bad, which it has adopted? The slightest reflection,
therefore' is sufficient to convince any one that the
English Parliament will not meet once without the
Spanish question being brought forward, and without the
most complete revelations being made both by the Tory
and Whig Ministries. It is truly childish to wish to
persuade us of the contrary."

The Presse, the organ of the Tuileries, has the
following " song of triumph." Several contemporary
journals having asked—" What advantage does the
French Government expect from the proposed mar-
riage of the Duke DE MONTPENSIRR with the
Spanish INFANTA?"—the Presee replies—
" This advantage—to prevent the success of the two
candidates presented by England for the hand of Queen
Isabella, and for that of the Infanta Luisa, and which
implies consequently to prevent England from estab-
lishing in Spain, by the aid of two men devoted to her
policy, an influence hostile to our country. It
was erroneously asserted that England had not
presented any candidate, and had merely demanded that
Spain should remain free to choose. This self denial, of
which she received the credit, is contradicted in a
scandalous manner by her present conduct. The former
Tory Minister, it is true, submitted to an arrangement
displeasing to him, but which he could not avoid swallow-
ing. The present Ministry has changed this tactic,
and, blaming the indifference, or rather the wise
and discreet resignation, of the preceding Ministry,
has hastened to present candidates, who failed. We
have no need to declare the names of the candi-
dates. Every one knows who they are, namely
—Prince Henry, who was designated at one and the
same time the hope of the Radicals of Madrid and of
the merchants of London ; and Prince Leopold Francis
Jules de Saxe Coburg, captain of cavalry in the service
of Austria, and cousin of Prince Albert. Every one
can comprehend that these two men, placed beside the
Spanish throne, supported by England, and surrounded
by the Progressista;party, which is devoted to England,
because it expects from her alone the success of
their hopes, would have annihilated the influence
of France in Spain, and would have realised
the plan which England has pursued for two
centuries, and which would have converted Spain,
like Portugal, into a satellite of England. This is one
of the advantage of the solution which diplomacy has
accomplished for the happiness of Spain and for our
own security. This advantage is so great in our eyes,
that had we partaken of the illusion of the cordial un-
derstanding, we should not have hesitated to break it
in order to secure our success. Let no one, therefore,
again ask what France can gain by the marriage of
hie Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier! She will
gain so much that she will prevent Spain from falling
into the hands of two princes creatures of England.
France will gain by seeing Spain remain faith-
ful to constitutional policy and friendly to a good
understanding with France, in place of falling into the
hands of that Radical or Progressista party whom Eng-
land has taught, during thirty years, to curse the French,
and to mingle the cry of Death to the French!' with all
their anarchical orgies. If this were the only advantage
it would be sufficient, and Europe, which understands
the circumstances by which France has been forced into
this affair—Europe (which England is, no doubt, en-
deavouring to induce to make demonstrations of discon-
tent against us ; but Europe only wishes the main-
tenance of treaties, and is beginning to comprehend that
England alone menaces a disturbance of the balance of
power in Europe), will approve of what has been done."
Lord ABERDEEN, the Tory Minister, " who sub-
mitted to an arrangement which he could not avoid
swallowing," must feel particularly obliged to those
to preserve an entente cordiale with whom, he has
submitted to so many sacrifices, and subjected him-
self to some odium and unpopularity with his own
countrymen, for the courteous manner in which they
hare now spoken of him.
The Epoque, the organ of M. GUIZOT, thus tries to
turn the affair to account as a party move :
" Wo leave the systematic enemies of British alliance
to declare at their ease that it is for ever broken, and to
shed their hypocritical tears over it. If that alliance
were broken, they would be more pleased than they are,
for they might then rely on the grave events, of which
they stand in need, to retrieve their affairs. As for us,
who are sincere partisans of that alliance, we believe that
it will not be materially affected by the occurrences at
Madrid. Founded on the common interests of the two
countries and on the wants of civilisation, that alliance
will not be sacrificed to the temporary ill-humour of a
disappointed diplomatist. Lord Palmerston knows well
that neither his country nor even his colleagues will
countenance a policy calculated to disturb the peace of
the world for acts so legitimate in themselves, that he
was most desirous to accomplish them himself for the
benefit of his own Government. He would certainly
have wondered at the discontent experienced by M.
Guizot, had a prince of the house of Sate Coburg sup-
planted the Duke de Montpensier. He will permit us
to entertain, with regard to his anger, the feeling iu
which he would have indulged respecting ours."
It is well known that when M. GUIZOT was in
England as Ambassador, in 1840, he chose to mix
himself up in the party squabbles then going on, and
to aid and assist in the formation of the great Con-
servative party, and the breaking up of the then
existing Government. This was the foundation of
the entente cordiale between the French and Eng-
lish Conservatives. But times are changed in
England since 1840. There is every reason
to believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord ABER-
DERN will be found supporting Lord PALMERSTON
in his foreign policy, instead of thwarting him ; and
M. GuizoT will find that the entente cordiale
between French and English parties is broken, to be
succeeded by an honourable understanding between the
French and English nations—an understanding by
which peace will be preserved without dis-
honourable sacrifices on the one side or on the
other, and which it will therefore be impossible for
any individual or faction to abuse.
The following from Morocco, dated 10th August,
appears in the Constitutionnel :
" You will, without doubt, have received at Paris an
account of the panic which spread through Morocco,
from Fez to Tangiers, relative to a decisive rising of
Abd-el-Kader against the Emperor Muley-Abderrah-
man. Matters are not yet come to that. The following
are the facts :—Abd-el-Kader was encamped at Ainz-
hora, at the southern extremity of the Rif, and endea-
voured, it is said, to foment, for his own profit, the
religious zeal of the neighbouring populations. But the
Emperor had collected together his mast devoted troops
in two principal bodies, one commanded by Muley -
Mohammed, his son, and the other by Muley-Ibrahim,
his nephew. The latter was encamped at a little dis-
tance from the Emir, and being joined by a faithful Raid,
who brought in some forces from the neighbouring
tribes, he set out against the insurgents. They were
not prepared for the attack, and Abd-el-Kader was
forced to raise his camp in all haste and hasten to the
south. But this retrograde march produced an unex-
pected effect. A small body of Moorish troops, posted
by Muley-Mahomrned in the neighbourhood of Taza,
to keep in cheek the considerable hostile tribes
of the Riatas and the Hayahinas, learning all
of a sudden the approach of the enemy, were so
terrified that they broke to
pieces, and the run-
aways arriving at Fez, spread the erroneous report that
Abd-el-Kader had taken up arms. Such rumours may
be frequently renewed, for a great anxiety has seized
on men's minds, and prepared them to receive such
intelligence. But the moment fora definite rupture
between the Emperor and the Emir appears still remote.
According to information which appears very nearly
certain, Abd-el-Kader has written to Maley-Mo-
hammed a letter, couched in these terms :
Why do you assemble your fighting men
against me, who am not your enemy, but only
that of the unbelievers—against me who do you no
harm. but servo God and his prophet? I only ask you
for permission to purchase provisions for myself and my
followers. When I shall have done that, and when the
Ramadan is over, I shill withdraw to a spot where I
shall not cause any trouble, not even in attacking the
unbelievers, although that is the will of God. 1)o
not, therefore, close your tars to my just prayer;
for, if you unite with the Christians to make war
on me, your soldiers and servants wilt become
mine, and you will oblige me to do what I
do not wish. Therefore, all I ask from you is a few
days more refuge against the enemy of the faith.'
It would appear that Maley-Mohammed was moved
by this letter, in which menace scarcely conceals
itself under an arp;arance of moderation. He showed
himself favourable to the , purchases of provisions
solicited by the Emir; he had two caravans stopped
at Fez, for having neglected to furnish Ahd-el-Kader
with corn for which they had received the price;
in film, be made present of 100 camels loaded

with barley and wheat. In consequence of these
good relations Abd-el-Kader tranquilly established
himself, towards the end of last month, on the banks
of the Moulouia, fifteen leagues from Tazs, and
about thirty from the French frontier. Bou-Ilarneidi.
with his deira, was encamped within a short day's
journey from that spot, near Casba Ksoutn. Many
Saharian tribes of the south, not under the Emperor's
rule, come at present. under the patronage of the Emir,
to the market of the Halle, to purchase their annual
stock of provisions. Boa Ilameidi and the Kaid
Bouzian have the surveillance of this proceeding, which
would seem to indicate, on the part of the Moorish
Government, a sort of recognition of the authority
which the Emir has arrogated to himself over the people
of these districts."

The following account of the movements of ARID-,
EL-KADER appears in the Alibar of the 24th of
Augast

"Letters which are entitled to credit, inform us that
on the 11th instant Abd-el Bader made a movement,
and that his intention was to fall, in the south, on the
Beni-Amers, or the Ghossels. On the 13th, the ez-
Emir, after having established his Beira towards the
south-west, in the neighbourhood of Taza, took a south-
emit direction with his cavalry. Nothing was known of
the object of this mar,ouvre."

The Dukes DE MONTZENSIER and D'AUMALE left
Bordeaux on Wednesday for Spain.

The price of bread, in Paris, during the first fort-
night of October was raised, the first quality to 43c.
per kilogramme—nearly 9d. the 41b. loaf—and con-
sequently 12 per cent. higher than in Dublin.
The Moniteur publishes the returns of the corn
trade, from which it appears that the average price
of the hectolitre of wheat in the different markets

THE CABINET.—It is understood that Sir George
Grey, and the other members of the Cabinet who were
absent from the Cabinet Councils held last week,
have had summonses forwarded to them requesting
their attendance in town. It is expected that another
Cabinet Council will he held next week.

ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.—The London Gazette
of Friday night contains several addresses that had been
presented to the Queen on the occasion of her Majesty's
late visit to Cornwall. That from the inhabitants of the
ancient borough of Fowey contains the following pas-
sages :—" Five hundred years ago, the gallant ships of
Fowey conveyed an armament to the siege of Calais,
under the command of their brave townsman Frisart
Bagga, more numerous and formidable than the grand
harbour of Plymouth could then supply. Though time
and circumstances have since reduced our ability and
importance, we still lioeg to assure your Majesty that the
loyal inhabitants of Fowey and its vicinity will always be
ready to support the mild and maternal government of
your Majesty with zealous and affectionate fidelity. And
we intreat the Giver of all power and pre-eminence
among men, by whom alone Queens reign and Princes
decree justice, to bless your .Majesty and your Royal
Consort with long life and prosperity, and to establish
your royal progeny upon the throne of these realms to
the latest generation."
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.....-There is
very large arrival of wheat, and a good supply of other grain
to-day. We have a steady demand for wheat, and we
note prices 2s. to 3s. per quarter above the rates of last
Friday. The inquiry for barley becomes more general,
and the stands are cleared at ls. to 2s. per quarter ad-
vance. Oats and shelling steady in value, and beans fully
ls. per quarter dearer. No change in other articles.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S
SHIP PLOVEIL—EarIy on Thursday morning as In-
spector White of the Thames-police, was on duty in his
galley in the river off Woolwich, his attention was
drawn to two persons male and female, who were land-
ing some bulky articles at the stairs near the Nile Ta
rem. On examination, one of the bags was found to
contain 261bs. of copper- sheathing marked with the
broad arrow. The parties were taken into custody, and
gave the name of Mary Ann Derry and William Not-
ting. It turned out on inquiry, that the prisoners be-
longed to a bum boat, and had accompanied the Plover
from Portsmouth. The copper was part of the stores of
the vessel. The prisoners were taken before Mr. Traill,
at the Woolwich Police-court, and remanded for the at-
tendance of the solicitor to the Admiralty.
Mr. Wilson, late chairman of the National Anti-
Corn-law League, arrived at Brussels a few days ago,
and almost immediately received a visit from M. Arriva-
bone, one of the vice-presidents of the Belgian Free-
Trade Association (PAssociation Beige pour la Liberte
Commerciale). Mr. Wilson also had interviews with
several members of the committee, and communicated
some valuable suggestions relative to the conduct of the
association.

FEARFUL SITUATION.—Aa a pump-maker named
Bradford, at Kingston, Herefordshire, was filling a
bucket at the bottom of a well, a depth of twenty-eight
feet, the sides gave way and engulphed him; but in the
falling of .the mass, three large stones formed a sort of
triangular arch over the poor fellow's head, rind were
thus the means of saving bis life. Six hours elapsed be
fore he was got out.--:Lincolnshire Advertiser.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A PAUPER LUNATIC.—On
day Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Surrey County
Lunatic Asylum on the body of John M.Kannister,
aged 55, an inmate of the above institution. The de-
ceased was deaf and dumb, idiotic, and subject to epilep-
tic ills. He had been in the asylum five years on
Michaelmas day, when he dropped down dead whilst
returning from his work, which had been that of
sorting potatoes. Verdict, " Died by the visitation of

ARISTOCRATIC USURPATIONS.—What, indeed, are
these Kings, Lords and Commons ? Where does the
power said to be invested in them really reside ? Let
the people of England ask themselves the great question,
and they will find in its answer the one great root and
source, the one great mystery of all their troubles. They
will find that their boasted House of Commons is but
the engine of the aristocracy to cheat them with a show
of freedom, while they, through its means, rob and
plunder and scourge them to their heart's content. They
will find that they have not the power to move a finger of
the House of Commons ; that the aristocracy—such
a mighty and wealthy and luxurious aristocracy as the
world never before saw—are, in truth, the possessors of
all and everything in England. They possess the crown,
for it is the great bauble and talisman of all their wealth
and honours. They possess the House of Commons, by
their sons, their purses and their influence. They pos-
sess the church and the state, the army and the navy.
They tossess all offices at home and abroad. They pos-
sess the land at home and the colonies to the end of the
earth. And, what is more, they possess the property
and the profits of every man, for they have oily to
stretch out their great arm in a vote of the House of
Commons, and they can take it as they please.—Ramp=
den's History of the English Aristocracy.
NON-LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES TO THE
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.—The Great Western
Railway Company are erecting a cottage for the habita-
tion of their Secretary, C. A. Saunders, Esq., on ground
purchased by them, adjacent to, and within the limits of
their terminus at Paddington. Mr. Gutch, the district
surveyor, conceiving that this cottage as a dwelling-
house was not built according to the provisions of the
Act. gave notice to the builders, Messrs. Locke and
Nesham, of Theobalds-road, to alter it in conformity
with his views. Mr. flardlacke, the Company's archi-
tect, being of opinion that this building was not liable
to supervision, gave orders to the builders to pay no at-
tention to the notice of the surveyor. The result was a
formal complaint to the official referees Nipointed, and
acting under the Act. They having appointed a day for
entertaining the complaint, the Great Western Railway
Company instructed their solicitors, Messrs. Maples and
interference
claimed to attend and resist the right of
claimed by Mr. Gutch ; accordingly Mr. Charles
Stevens, with Mr. Keeting, the barrister, attended on
behalf of the company. Mr. Watson having opened the
case on behalf of Mr. Gutch, Mr. Keeting contended
that the building was exempted, as being included in
schedule B, sec. 2, of the Metropolitan Buildings Act.
On the other side it was alleged that all buildings were
under the supervision of the district surveyor, and that
the cottage being a building, therefore fell within the
strict terms, and that the section opily exempted eertt i
works therein referred to, and could not of necessity in-
clude a dwelling house. Mr. Keeting argued that, inas-
much as the schedule referred to buildings of all classes,
it could not be contended that the dwelling house for Mr.
Saunders was not a building within the meaning of the
Act,and that leading the clause to which thatschedule par-
ticularly so applied, and also the last clause of the section,
concurrently with the one immediately before it, spe-
cially exempting the buildings and works of the London
and Birmingham Railway from supervision, this build.
ing was clearly within the exemption. It was then
argued on the part of Mr. Gutch that this cottage was
not on the line of works, and should not, therefore, be
(Icemen part of the works of the railway; but it being
proved to tho referees that although the cottsq:e was not
absolu! e'y essential for the discharge of the duties of
secretary, and was not immediately adjoining the offices
of the company, yet inasmuch as there was a private way
leading to the company's line, and that the cottage was
detached and separated from all other dwelling houses,
and within the company's fence, the referees, after two,
weeks' consideration of the point, published an award
conflmatory of
.the views of Mr. Hardwicke, and de-
clared the building exempt from supervision. The point
is one of great importance to railway companies, and
the award has consequently gr
given eat :iatishiction to
parties interested in such uudertakins,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool ye,tettiay were
about 6,000 bales. Prices of American were id. per lb.
lower. No alteration in other descriptions, the demand
being on a smaller scale than in the early part of the
week.

The Sugar Markets here have of late been in a most
unsatisfactory p,sition, as far as importers are concerned.
In the Country Markets things have, however, taken a
more favourable turn. From Brisol we are thus ad-

vised to-day :
" There has been a decided improvement in the tone
of the sugar market since the date of our last report,
refiners and grocers having shown a desire to get into
stock, and the transactions have been to a fair extent.
In West India sorts the sales reported reach 3,500 hhds.
and tierces, and prices have about recovered the decline
submitted to last month, our quotations being al-
tered in conformity ; in Bengal 3,000 bags have found
buyers at an advance of fully Is. per cwt. on former
rates ; and in Mauritius rather over 6,000 mats have
' been disposed of, at prices not previously obtainable,
and the transactions in this class of sugar would have
been much larger but for the poor assortment offering.
In foreign the sales are limited to a few parcels of
Manilla.' Porto Rico, Bahias, and Javas brought coast-
wise, no direct imports having as yet been received here.
For molasses there has been a decided improvement

in the demand, and prices are fully 2s. per cwt. above'
those obtainable last month ; the stock here is very
small, and the transactions are limited to about 100
puns. Antiguas, to arrive at 245., and a small parcel of
inferior St. Vincent in store at the same figure ; 400
hhds. of Bengal treacle have also been disposed of (in
one lot), the price of which has not transpired, but is be-
lieved to be 20s. to 20s. 6d. per cwt.
" Refiners produce of all description has been in excel•
lent demand, and a considerable advance has taken place;
brown lumps, which at the date of our last report were
dull of sale at 61s. to 625., are now worth 655.; and the

middling and good, and fine and very fine sorts, which
were then offering iespectively at 635. to 655., and 665.
to 675., are now worth 665. to 675. and 68s. to 70,
Crushd, of fine quality, has been much sought after, and
has advanced fully 2s. per cwt., good and fine sorts being
readily saleable at 60s. to 635."
Much praise has been accorded to day to the success-
ful exertions of Lieutenant Waghorn in conveying
with such rapidity the news from Bombay. It is a mat-
ter of general conversation.
The mail, or what is denominated the Waghorn Ex-
press, in advance of the Indian mail, this morning, has
furnished Bombay dates to the 27th of August, but no
. .

later news from Calcutta. The political intelligence is
chiefly of interest in reference to the probabilities of the
future, there being no present movement throughout
affecting the surface of our extensive Indian empire. It
is quite clear, however, that the period is not distant
when new commotions will take place in the Punjaub,
and that the scenes we have so recently gone through in
that distracted district were sure to be repeated,
although probably on a reduced scale.
The mercantile intelligence is scanty. There was
no change in the market for manufactured goods in a
general sense, but the prospect of the future was rather
more encouraging when the rainy season closed. The
most important change was a considerable fall in the
rate of exchange at Bombay, which corresponds with
the tendency of the Caleuttarnarket, at' the date of the last
accounts. This is a demonstrated proof that the money
markets generally were suffering from the effects of_ the
war in the Punjaub, which, by pressing on the treasury
of the East India Company, prevented them from making
the usual advances on the hypotheisture of goods sent
here. It must, at the same time, be observed, however,
that the reduction in the rate of exchange would require
a corresponding advance in the price of all articles ex-
pected from the mother country, to maintain the former
relative position, which does not appear to hare been the
case with the texted manufactures.
Consols are rather firm this morning, at 95a 95i, and

only, and India Stock is at 260.
Mexican Five per Cents. have fallen to 25, Spanish
Actives are heavy at 26k, and the Dutch Four per Cents.

The market for the Railway Shares has been brisk this
