of ts hopeless struggle. To imagine that the represen-
tative of Knaresborough has hitherto escaped from his
political contests scatheless and uninjured, would be
one among the wildest stretches of fancy ; the fumes
and the smoke of his own prodigious subterfuges have
tarnished his very name, and the marks of those battles
are indelible. All these circumstances appear to be
thoroughly impressed upon the mind of Mr. FERRAND
and in all likelihood it is the conviction of their
truth which urges him on in his present mad and un-
reasonable career. The hull of his Parliamentary fame
is just barely distinguishable, darkened and shattered
from the conflict in which it has repeatedly engaged,
and as repeatedly fared the worst ; the sullen waters of
popular displeasure are gradually sucking that black
hull into their bosom, and surging upon it from all
quarters ; yet does Mr. BUSFEILD FERRAND Still
defy the advance of public opinion and public indigna-
tion, and, by his recent proceedings at Leeds,
clambers up, as it were, to the mast-head,
and there nails up the last rag of his reputation, as
though in very defiance. His provincial eloquence ap-
pears to concentrate itself upon one intolerable effort,
namely, the dissemination of discontent and
among the labouring classes. He addresses himself ex-
elusively to artizans; he tells them they are the most
tyrranised and degraded body of human creatures in the
empire ; he covers their employers with every epithet
of ignominy and abhorrence ; and endeavours, by every
possible effort of his tongue, by his insinuations, and by
flagrant mis-statements, by his unwieldy meekness,
and by his unflinching audacity, to rouse among the in-
dustrious classes a feeling of hatred and animosity
against the manufacturers, from whom they receive their
wages and their " daily bread." For this miserable
and vile attempt the Member for Knaresborough is
culpable indeed, and hence he would deserve our most
absolute reprobation, but for the perfect impotence with
which the attempt is accempanied. The gentlemen who
potter over their protection crucibles in the grand
laboratory of New Bond-street bad better bestir them.
selves in the election for the West Riding, if they wish
any success to attend their party in that quarter ;
they must oust Mr. BUSFEILD FERRAND and mount the
rostrum themselves, if they wish an agricultural candi-
date to be returned for that division of Yorkshire. So
much virulence of tongue, so much generalism of abuse,
so much essential coarseness of argument, as have been
indulged in by this terrible gentleman, are, in truth, suffi-
cient to injure the most stable cause in the universe,
but when they are actually coincident with an irre-
trievably unstable faction, no marvel that the conse-
quence is inevitable disgrace. It is a wonderful con-
trast to compare the epistles recently published by Mr.
FERRAND and Mr. COBDEN, the former entitled
" Brutal and Cowardly Conduct of the League," the
latter addressed to " The Tenant Farmers of England t"
the one teeming with the most rancorous malice, and the
most determinate vulgarity; the other a calm, argu-
mentative, dispassionate, and gentlemanly production.
From these two letters we may indeed estimate the
relative position of the question now at issue : the
stubborn though chap-fallen rage of the protectionists,
with the quiet and candid self-confidence of their
opponents.

Britannic MAJESTY, will contribute, without hurting
our national interests, to insure the benefits of humanity."
IBRAHIM PACHA was expected to visit Paris
soon, and the Marquis DE LAVALETTE had
left that city for Vernet, to accompany
his Highness on the journey. A letter from
Alexandria of the Bth inst. says:—" The brilliant re-
ception given to IBRA.Brx PA.CHA in Europe appears to
have inspired the Viceroy with the desire to take a trip
there ; previously, however, he is to visit Upper Egypt."
Accounts from Lucerne state that MULLER, charged
with the murder of M. LEu, had been tried at that place
on the 24th. This man, it will be remembered, had
tried to escape punishment, by accusing Dr. PEFFER,
but failed. The trial lasted only four hours and a half,
and the prisoner was found guilty and condemned to
death. His counsel attributed the crime to relig ions
fanaticism. The prisoner himself said, that having been
incarcerated for rebellion, and his application to be in-
terrogated being refused, he had conceived a profound
resentment against M. LEU, and could not subdue the
desire for vengeance.

We would beg to draw the particular attention of our
readers to a letter from Mr. COBDEN to the tenant
farmers of England, which appears in another column.
As the record of the deliberate opinion of " one who
has sprung from their own ranks," it is entitled to their
most mature consideration. As the opinion of the first
political economist of the day, it is entitled to the at-
tentive consideration of all philosophical (as
contra-distinguished from party) politicians, and as the
opinion of one of those political philosophers who, ac-
cording to the admission of Sir ROBERT PEEL himself,
was three years ago right, when he, the Prime Minister
of the country, was wrong, more especially is it entitled
to the consideration of the Minister, who, by his own
showing, is three years behind Mr. COBDEN. Out
of consideration to the tenant farmers themselves, he
advocates an immediate, in preference to a gradual,
repeal of the corn-laws, and argues that the present mo-
ment, when there is a scarcity over the whole continent
of Europe, is the time of all others when the corn-laws
can be repealed without even temporary inconvenience
to the British farmer. " I.;" says Mr. COBDEN, " you
should be induced to concur in its views, you will avoid
the only danger to which, in my opinion, the farmers
were ever exposed from the repeal of the corn-law—
that of the transition state. From the first I have
always entertained and expressed the conviction that
free trade, far from permanently injuring the farmers,
would ultimately tend to their prosperity and independ-
ence. I never disguised from myself, however, the
temporary evils to which they might be exposed in the
change. But let us unite 14...;.incr I,..ent opportu-
nity, and the triumph of sound principles may be
achieved without the bitter ingredients of one particle
of injury to any class or individual. From the most
exalted personage in the realm down to the humblest
peasant, all may witness, with unalloyed pleasure, one
of the greatest victories ever achieved over past preju-
dice and ignorance, whilst each class may derive pecu-
liar gratification at the close of our long domestic
struggle. The SOVEREIGN may gkry that her reign
was reserved for the era of a commercial reforma-
tion, more pregnant in its beneficial consequences to the
destinies of mankind than all the wars of her illustrious
ancestors ; the landed aristocracy vill see in the con-
summation of our labours, an opening for the resumption
of their social influence based upon the only sure foun-
dation—the respect and confidence of the people ; whilst
to the middle and industrious classes will be presented a
constantly widening field for the employment of their
peaceful energies, together with greater means and more
leisure for that moral amelioration which, I trust, will
accompany their improved physical condition."

The following summary of dispatches received from
Algiers appears in some of the Paris papers of Thurs-
day:—
" The Minister of War yesterday received a report from
Lieut.-General de Bar, dated Algiers, the 20th, and a report
from Marshal Bugeaud, dated from the Oued Riou, the 10th.
General de Bar announces the receipt of a telegraphic dis-
patch from Milianah, dated the 12th, stating that Marshal
Bugeaud would arrive about the 23d, between Tekeria and
lief el Sefa, to the south of Teniet el Head, and informs the
Minister that he has received letters from General Bedeau,
dated the 17th, when he was at Medeah, with the troops of
General d'Arbouville, who were reposing, and in readiness to
proceed to any point that might become necessary. Marshal
Bugeaud's report contains very little that is not already
known. He speaks of several fruitless marches, in the hope
of coming up with Abd.el-Bader, who, in finding the tribes
of the countries of the Beni Messlems ill disposed
to assist him, and General Lamoriciere near at hand,
abandoned his projects on the Lower Mina, and on
the 4th arrived in the Upper Mina, where he carried off
the douars of the Agha of the tribe of the Sdamas, a tribe
which had just submitted to the French. The Emir,
says Marshal Bugeaud, had accomplished fifty leagues in
two days and a night, with horses which were supposed to
be exhausted with fatigue. At the date of the last accounts,
Abd-el-Kader was two days distant from the Tell, to which
General Lamoriciere did not intend to follow him, as it is a
country in which no supplies can be obtained for cavalry.
In conclusion Marshal Bugeaud says :—" Things have much
improved, and we may now say, without being too bold,
hat Abd-el-Kader has failed in the great enterprise that he
had been long meditating. He reckoned on carrying insur-
rection and war to the gates of Algiers, and could only reach
the south of the Ouarensenis. When he made his appear-
ance, the revolted tribes had all received some rude blows.
Their zeal was cooled, and not seeing arrive the armies of
emigrants and Morocco mien who had been promised, they
soon despaired of success. There is little zeal i❑ the camp
of the ex-Emir. The tribes at first supplied him with pro.
visions and forage ; some of the most ardent even joined
him, but soon the masses kept away, and he was compelled to
look for food for his men and horses ►n the Silos. I think he
will return much discouraged, and that the tribes are not
less so."

DEPARTURE OF THE C,JURT FOR CLAREMONT.—Her
Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Royal
Family, and attended by the Court, are expected to leave
Buckingham Palace this afternoon for Claremont, where
the royal party will pass a few days, and will then return
to the metropolis. Her Majesty and the Prince are ex-
pected to take their departure from Buckingham Palace
between three and four o'clock.

We have received Madrid journals of the 23d, which
contain a glowing description of the grand ball given by
General NARVAEZ to her MAJESTY and a select party on
the evening of the 22d. The QUEEN, with her sister
and mother, arrived at eleven o'clock, when the concert
commenced. All the fashionable society of Madrid was
present. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA took his place
near his royal relatives. After the concert the QUEEN
opened the ball with the Duke of VALENCIA (NARVAEZ),
and the INFANTA, the QUEEN'S sister, with the French
Ambassador. At three o'clock their MAJESTIES with-
drew. Several Senators and Deputies of the Opposition
party were present.

In the Chamber of Deputies Senor Mom enter ed
into a long statement respecting his financial policy, and
no one could deny that he had performed wonders, of
which this extract from his speech gives a brief out-
Hue :

" The Ministry of which I am a member have triumphed.
for they have extricated the country from a real chaos. For
anarchy they have substituted order and morality. Has
not our financial position been improved since 1844, when
we took office? At that period the treasury was empty ;
every department of the public service was suffering, and a
bankruptcy was imminent. Nobody would lend money to
the Government. To obtain 7,000,000 f. it was compelled to
give I2,000,000f.; the tobacco revenue had been farmed out
for ten years, and the proceeds of two months had been
beforehand consumed ; no hope remained ; the active
employees had received but two months' salary out of
five, and the passive classes one month only. IN
this year, on the contrary, a contract had been entered
into with a highly respectable public establishment, and
I ask whether this contract affords the said employees suffi-
cient guarantees for payment in this year ? LM. Llorente
cried "No r] You may deny it (continued M. Mon),
but the Deputies of Spain and all Europe have
been astonished at such a treaty having been concluded with
the San-Fernando bank. It was imagined that the Govern-
ment never would attain the object it has accomplised. The
utmost confusion prevailed in the public service, and they
who negotiated with the Government required a discount in
proportion to the difficulties they dreaded in the collection of
the revenue. Is this morality in the Administration ? Have
those who, in two years, have made such confusion disap-
pear, done nothing ? Two years are a brief period in finan-
cial matters, especially when a Government is harassed by
the press and by conspiracies. Yet, the army has been paid,
And the navy improved. Under Charles 111. it was not as
strong as it now is. Yes, gentlemen, the navy is now better
paid than it Was under Charles 111. It may be alleged that
some injustice and vexations have taken place in the collec-
tion of the revenue ; these details are of a secondary impor-
tance, and a Government which was to bestow its attention
on questions of the utmost moment cannot always watch the
details of its operations."

The 23d being the feast of St. Ildefonso, the Stock-
Exchange remained cloned.

The report of Sir R. PEEL'S speech in the House of
Commons on Tuesday evening was received in Paris on
Thursday, and created a great sensation. Every per-
son who turned his attention to the changes expressed
wonder at their magnitude and extent. The good
penple of Paris could hardly credit the news, and the
only drawback on the joyful intelligence was a doubt
whether the Minister would be able to carry his com-
prehensive and liberal scheme through Parliament.
The Chamber of Deputies for two days had been occu-
pied in discussing the proposed alterations in the con-
stitution of the University. M. SALVANDY, the
Minister of Public Instruction, made a long
speech in defence of the new regulations, and
was opposed by M. TRIERS, but their arguments
possess no interest for the English reader,
Another notice of motion had been given by an Oppo-
sition Member relative to the relations between England
and France, M. PFRRVER, as has been stated, has a
motion on the naval affairs 40 maritime rights of
France, which will call forth many speeches, and M.
MAIIGUIN has also given notice of his intention to move
ay amendment on the fifth paragraph of the Address,
to the following effect f.—" We hope that the union and

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
4,000 bales. The market was very quiet. The Share Market
was firmer, and there was an improvement in some of the
registered shares.
The Rossendale, arrived from Sydney, brings accounts of
September 20. Trade was in a sounder state, and moderately
active. Labour was becoming scarce again, and the propriety
of obtaining a re- inforcement from 'v Dieman's Land had
been mooted, and was supported in one or two districts.
The points most notable in the weekly Bank of England
return to the 24th inst., ate those which denote the peculiar
action of the railway deposit question, and they are as follows:
Notes Issued Decrease £48,885
Public Deposits Decrease
Other Deposits Increase 2,953,990
Other Securities Increase 2,607,886
Seven days and other Bills Increase 19,358
Bullion Increase
The actual amount of the notes issued was 26,525,0251., and
of the Bullion 13,202,0841.
The Funds have been very steadily supported to-day, and
opened at an improvement to 95% for Account. At present
the values are 94% to 95 for Money, and 95% for time. Ex.
chequer-bills have been 295. to 255., being rather lower than
yesterday. Bank Stock is quoted 206 to 207. The New
Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. are 971/s to 97%.
The Foreign Bonds are very quiet. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 281/s M, and the Three per Cents 38%. Mexican
Bonds are worth 301. Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are worth 55.
Shares have been rather more deal in, and seem generally
to maintain fully the previous rates.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIORT BRUCE.)
POWLES V. SAENZ.
his HoNoun, in giving judgment, said this case was
between the plaintiffs, English merchants, who had a
house in London and in the State of New Granada, and
the defendants, who were citiz, ns of New Granada. In
1841 and 1842 contracts were entered into, first between
the plaintiffs and the Government of New Granada, and,
secondly, between the plaintiffs and the defendants. By
the first the plaintiffs contracted with the Government
for 100,000 arobahs of tobacco annually, to be paid for
by remittances ; and by the second, the defendants con-
tracted to consign to the plaintiffs in London 40,000
arobahs of tobacco, the defendants having permission to
draw on them to a certain amount. A third contract
was made between the plaintiffs and the defen-
dants and the Government of New Granada,
but it did not affect the merits of the suit. The com-
plaint was, that subsequently to that third contract the
defendants had failed to fulfil the terms of the second
contract, and by sending the 40,000 arobahs, or part of
them, to another house, had not only deprived the plain-
tiffs of their commission, but had injured their character
in the tobacco market. An injunction was, therefore,
applied for by the plaintiffs.
His HONOUR said, that various questions of law, of
equity, and of fact were raised by the case on which he
had not felt his mind satisfied by the arguments, though
able, which had been conducted before him. He the re-
fore thought he would do the least injury to any party
concerned if he refused the motion, and reserved the costs.
BURKETT V. RANSOM.
His HONOUR said that the Court would grant an
action at law in this case, if the parties concerned had
wished it, and the more so as he himself bad felt inclined
to have the opinion of a Court of law upon it, but as
both plaintiff and defendant agreed to waive that
election, he had considered the merits of the claim.

testator was for 1,0001., the amount of a promissory
note. His Honour thought that the mere production of
the note, and the proof of the testator's signature, the
nudum factum, would have been sufficient to support the
plaintiff's claim. But he had to consider it in the light
of the evidence 'of Mr. Ransom, who was admitted on
both sides to be a neutral party, whose evidence could
be received without prejudice. He alleges that the tes-
tator told him he had promised George Goldsmith
1,0001., and that he had given that amount to Elliston
Allan, without security, considering that the money would
have been safe, but he had reason for fear from the state
of Allan's affairs. Allan became bankrupt, and George
Goldsmith meeting with the testator, reminded him of
his promise, and asked security to the amount of
1,0001., in consequence of which the testator
gave him the promissory note produced in the suit. The
testator and Allan had since both died. The questions
raised were, whether Goldsmith, before the note had been
given him, had acquired an equitable right against the
estate of the testator, or of Allan, that is, whether the
note was for value given, and whether the testator was
liable to make good to Goldsmith the value of the note.
His HONOUR having commented on these questions
decided that the claim should be admitted.
