voned by literature, or by manual employment, has still so
general and undeviating a tendency to render its victim in-
curably insane. If these reformatory experiments have not
already continued too long, the matter, nevertheless, de-
mands the scrutiny of the Legislature.

fntelligenco has been received from Lisbon dated 9th May,
from which it would appear that the tyranny of COSTA.
CABRAL and his brother is becoming too odious to be to-
lerated by even the most peaceably and loyally disposed
among the Portuguese. The insurrection in the northern
provinces, so far from having been put down, was
daily extending, and Oporto itself had been the
scene of a tumult and conflict with the military,
in the course of which some lives had been lost. The rally-
ing cry throughout, the country is " Down with the
Cabrals." In consequence of the unconstitutional conduct of
the Cabrals in the Cortes, the old friends of Don PEDRO and
the constitution in the Chamber of Peers have, headed by
the Duke of PALSIELLA, seceded from that Chamber in a
body, while in the Chamber of Deputies a motion for
an address to the QUEEN, beseeching her to dismiss her
Ministry, numbered among its supporters RODERIC° DA
FONSECA MAGALHAES, who as a Minister of the Crown was
one of the most upright that Portugal ever possessed, and
whose views and conduct as a statesman and politician have
ever been of the most moderate character.

Although the Cabrals possess the confidence of (the more
correct phrase, perhaps, would be the control over) the QUEEN,
and are supported by the KLNG-CONSOILT and the Camarilla,
yet it seems extremely probable that her MAJESTY
may find it necessary to dismiss her obnoxious Ministers
unless, indeed, she should prefer risking her own
throne to depriving the Cabrali of their portfolios.
Among the seceders from the Chamber of Peers
are the Marquis of LOULE. the husband of the QUEEN'S aunt,
the Viscount DAs ANTAS, who commanded the Portuguese
Legion in Spain, the Marquis of ABEANTES, and the Viscount
SA DA BANDEIRA. They have published a protest containing
the reason for their secession. This is the unconstitutional
conduct of the Minister of the Interior, ANTONIO CABRAL,
who in the Diario, the only journal suffered to be published
in Lisbon, actually in the reports of the debates in the Cham-
ber ordered the speeches of the Opposition Peers to be sup-
pressed. This they denounce as a breach of the 20th and2sth
articles of the charter, an offence to the Chamber, and an
atrocious calumny on the Members affected by it.

Madrid Papers of the 9th and 10th have arrived.

The Gazette of the 9th publishes the Ministerial circular,
announcing that the new electoral law will be put in force
immediately, and directing the political chiefs to proceed to
the formation of the electorate lists, which are to be published
on the 30th of May. According to the Tienipo, a conspiracy
has been detected in Granada, and the colonel of the regi-
ment of Albuera has been arrested, together with several
officers and soldiers. The Eco del Conzercio publishes
a letter from Malaga, distinctly denying that the
parties engaged in the assassination of the colonel of the
Granada regiment were actuated by political motives.
The Clamor Publico announces that General NAILVAEZ will
shortly return to Spain, while some of the other journals state
that he is about to leave Bayonne for Paris, from whence he
will proceed to Naples on a diplomatic mission.
The Infante Don ENZIQUE has received permission to leave
Bayonne for Brussels, on a visit to his sister, the Princess
IsABEL, who, with her husband, a Polish nobleman, is re-
siding in that city. Should his Highness wish to visit
England in the course of his tour, he has obtained permis-
sion to do so.

The brig Nervion after landing the Galician insurgents
on the coast of Portugal, had arrived at Gibraltar.

The QUEER was about to proceed to Aranjuez for a few
days.

MADRID BOLSA, MAY 9.—The Three per Cents. were not
quoted, but some private transactions had taken place at
32 13-16 :N for cash, and 32% 33 for time; and in the Cou-
pons at 20%. The shares of the San Fernando Bank were
done at 332, and those of Isabel at 192.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday.
M. TRIERS bad, in consequence of what passed in the
Chamber of Deputies two days before, relative to La Plata,
addressed a very long letter to the Opposition journals, on
Friday, in justification of his conduct, in and out of office, on
this subject. After alluding to the state of things in that
part of South An-terica when he last came into office, M
TmEns says :
"It is in this state that I found this affair in 1840. It was
soon proved to me that the desire to bring it to a close was
well founded, and that it was necessary to terminate the
blockade by a prompt and decisive operation. The Cabinet
of March 1 determined on an expedition, which was en-
trusted to Admiral de Meehan, at present Minister of Marine.
M. de Mackau, who now considers every expedition to the
banks of La Plata to be imprudent, accepted the command of
6,000 men, seamen and marines, and the mission to act
against Buenos Ayres, if he was obliged to do so, in order to
have that justice rendered to France which was her due.
His instructions enjoined him to demand an indemnity for
the French subjects, who had suffered from Rosas' cruelty,
a guarantee that they should not be again subject to certain
exactions of the Argentine Government, and honourable con-
ditions for our allies. These allies were of two kinds—the
insurgents of Buenos Ayres, armed against Rosas in the
_midst of the republic which he tyrannised over, who had re-
ceived subsidies from us, and the state of Monte Video, which
was a regular ally acting with us as an independent state.
`For
the one an amnesty was to be obtained, and for the
other, a guarantee of existence. Rosas, on seeing our forces
doubled by the arrival of M. de 3L.ckau, consented to nego-
tiate. He concluded with M. de Mackau the treaty which
has become the basis of the new relations. This treaty sti-
pulated an indemnity for the French subjects who had been
despoiled of their property and ill-used, a treatment for them
such as was granted to the most favoured nations; the
faculty to return to their country for the exiles of Buenos
Ayres who had taken up arms, and for the republic of Monte
Video the absolute independence of its Government and of its
territory. The treaty, to say the truth, could have been
drawn up otherwise, but I never attributed as a fault to M.
Mackau the mode in which it was worded. Ile had left
France engaged in the Eastern question; he had seen the
Cabinet ready to break up on the question of La Plata, and
he ought to have been disposed to bring to a close an affair
which he knew to be so difficult in itself and become still
more so by the complications which had taken place in
European affairs. But, however that might be, as far as the
wording was concerned, the treaty, if executed faithfully, was
sufficient."

M. Thiers then gives a very animated picture of the ca-
lamities and disasters which have taken place since the re-
fusal of Rosas to perform the conditions that had been
agreed upon, and dwells with much energy upon the
cruelties and atrocities of that chief, not only towards
all who were opposed to him, but also towards French
subjects who have been robbed and massacred by his
agents. Alluding to the visit of General O'Brien, of
whom M. Thiers speaks in terms of well-merited praise
for his humane endeavours to induce the English and
French Governments to interfere for the immediate repression
of the tyranny of Rosas, he observes that Lord Aberdeen,
whore heart, says M. Thiers, is upright and generous, had
shared in the sentiments which every honest man must feel
in such a matter, and consented to intervene. The French
Cabinet, adds the ex-President of the Council, could not re-
fuse to co-operatc with that of Great Britain, and a mutualin-
tervention was agreed upon. M. Thiers here states what were
the objects of the intervention, and although he complains that
in the terms dictated to Rosas, full and efficient guarantees were
not stipulated for on behalf of French subjects, he shows
how vain the resistance of Rosas had been to the first de-
monstrations that were made against him, and then ex-
presses his astonishment at the French Government not
having followed up his advantages, and completing the work
of honour and humanity. He asks :
" What can arrest the action of our Government in pre-
sence of such a situation? ,!-Is it the difficulty of execution ?
Is it the complicated nat.' of our interests in chat part of
America? The difficult yrer execution is almost nothing, if
three or four thousand men are sent out. The point is, not
to wage war on Rosas in the extent of the Argentine re-
public, which would expose us to the necessity of running
after him across the Pampas; but to join to the three thou-
sand English who are at La Plata, and to the denationalized
French legion at Monte Video, three thousand men landing
there, and to force the camp of Oribe. That being done, and
no one can doubt of its success, Monte Video would be freed
from blockade, the sufferings which we complain of would
cease, and our summons to Rosas to evacuate the territory
of Monte Video would be attended to. It; when that was
done, Rosas was to be acted against merely by blockade, let
it be so. I think that a better course could be adopted ;
but, in fine, the summons of England and France would
be respected, and the principal sufferings of our country-
men would have been brought to a close. All men,
well-informed on the subject, declare that on the
simple appearance of a reinforcement Rosas would
yield ; for it is the opinion which he entertains
of the hesitation of our Government which induces hill to
prolong his resistance. The difficulty of execution in re-
ducing the operation to what we demand is therefore null.'
IL Thiers then proceeds to describe the state of things at
the date of the last accounts, and concludes his letter as
fellows. Our readers will see that the allusion to England
is here, as elsewhere, conceived in terms of perfect good
policy towards that country The interest is pressing,
and the duty absolute. The misfortunes endured by
15,000 French subjects ought to be put a stop. to,
against which the mere assertion of seine isolated indi-
viduals, whom fears or some motives has separated from the
the mass of their countrymen, might not to prevail. The
allies whom we have compromised ought to be saved ;
and since we have guaranteed them by an article of the
treaty, since we have summoned the others to evacuate their
territory, we ought to cause our summons to be respected.
The manner that before any tribunal the case may be justi-
fied is this :—The French were thought interested enough
in what was passing at Monte Video to interfere; the treaty
which guaranteed the independence of Monte Video, was
formal enough to force Rosas to respect it; he was called on
to withdraw, an action was fought for that purpose, and then
all at once the matter was stopped short, and nothing more
was done than this first act ! The English hare 3,600 men,
we have 1,300 or 1,400 ; only 2,000 or 3,000 more are re-
quired to finish the business, and yet the matter remains so !
The French continue to die of hunger and wretchedness;
Oribe, in the name of Rosas, continues to despise our sum-
mons, and we are satisfied! But, then, why interfere at
asparedoo first? Why summon Oribe and Roses to withdraw? The

shall then remain isolated, and be obliged to do at last, alone
what we refuse to do at present in union with
the English.
In truth, I cannot conceive such
conduct. It is desired to
make the English alliance popular, and the wish is a proper
one. Here was an opportunity ; simple, natural. and honour-
able, to have the troops of the two kingdoms acting together

culous attempt, the result of which can be nothing else than
cruel. Let the men interested in supporting such a policy
say what they please of the warmth which I have shown in
this matter, I shall persis: in blaming that policy, and es
long as I hate a voice to make myself heard, I shall de-
nounce it to all men of sense and feeling as infamous."
In the Journal des Debats of Friday appears an article in
reply to this letter.
" The letter of M. Thiers (says the Debats) is only an
amends honorable. The indiscreet author of the amendment
on the affairs of La Plata endeavours to obtain par-
don for the defeat which he so awkwardly brought down
on the head of the Opposition when it looked for no-
thing of the kind. The letter is only another edition of
his speeches ; there is nothing additional in it, but uncon-
stitutional attacks against a power which M. Thiers is as
much, or even more than any person bound to respect,
and insinuations which his former functions forbid him
more than any other man to use. When M. Thiere de-
clares that the Cabinet of March 1 was on the point of
breaking up, relative to the La Plata question, we do not
know, and we ought not to know, what he means. There
was not at that epoch, as well as we can remember, any Mi-
' nisterial crisis. If there was any change of Ministry, it
would be a.. act coming under public cognizance. But M.
Thiers remained M.nister after the mission of M. de
Mackau, as is but too well remembered. What may have
passed in the Council of the Crown between the King and
his Ministers does not belong to public discussion. M.
Thiers has no right to state on this subject even the truth,
still less what resembles it so little, and this kind of indis-
cretion is the more strange in a man who reproaches his po-
litic:ll adversaries with uncovering royalty."
The article exte resover four columne, and there is a great
deal of personal vituperation which had been much better
omitted. With regard to the war itself, the Debats gives the
following as the history of its origin, and the expose of the
policy which France has pursued :
" The war which continues, and which, in fact, has never
ceased between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, was brought
on by the Government of Monte Video. It was the emi-
grants from Buenos Ayres who brought the Monte Videans
into their private quarrel with the Government of Roses,
and in i:s turn Monte Video wishes to get France into the
same quarrel. The real and evident interest of the French
residing in those countries was not to mix themselves up
with any of those foreign discords. That is what the home
country wished, and still wishes. But the Monte Videan
Government has succeeded in drawing in a portion,
though the weaker portion, of our countrymen. M.
Thiers, in regard to this, has fallen into the most
unheard-of errors and exaggerations. It is very easy
for a man of his fertile imagination to excite the public mind
with regard to the fate of 20,000 Frenchmen exposed to
all the evils of war and the horrors of famine. The truth is,
that the greater number of the French (8,000 or 9,000) are
in the province of Buenos Ayres; that there are 5,000 or
6,000 in the country of the Oriental Republic; that is to say,
with that portion of the province of Monte Video which is at
war with the town itself, so that in the town cf Monte
Video, properly so called, there are not more than 4,000
French, of whom only 1,500 have chosen to take arms.
These are the 18,000 or 20,000 men whom M. Thiers reduces
to the last extremity in Monte Video."

The Military Pensions Bill was passed on Friday, in the
Chamber of Peers, by 124 to 13, and on the same day, in
the Chamber of Deputies, the Supplementary Credit Bill was
passed by 138 to 3.

Numerous incendiary fires have occurred of late in the
department of the Cote &Or, and the mayors of many of the
communes in the department have received threatening
letters.

The strike among the miners at St. Etienne has been re-
newed. Those whose duty it is to pump the water out of
the mines are among the persons who have struck. Unless
they resume their occupation many of the mines will be so
flooded that it will be impossible to work them.
The Courrier Francais has the following

" General Comman arrived yesterday morning in Paris,
bringing, it is said, the formal resignation of Marshal Bu-
geaud, with his reasons for that step. The General left Al-
giers without any notice of his departure by the Moniteur
Algerien of the 10th, and it was also with the intent of con-
cealing this sudden, though not unexpected determination,
that the Marshal, notwithstanding his failing health, put
himself at the head of the expedition against the Ouaren-
senis before General Comman left Algiers. It is certain that
the Ministry will accept the resignation of Marshal Bugeaud,
and it is already said that he is to have the command of the
fortifications of Paris. The Duke d'Aumale is to be ap-
pointed Commander-in 'Chief of the army of Africa, but
without any other function or title."
This report of the retirement of Marshal BUGEMID from
the Government of Algeria is in substance confirmed by the
Epoque.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet,
and former rates were fully maintained. The sales were
nearly 5,000 bales, 1,500 of which were on speculation and
for export.
The letters received this morning from the manufacturing
districts, to most of which the result of the division upon
the third reading of the Corn Bill was communicated by the
electric telegraph, are wz itten in terms of the highest satisfaction
at the result; and in the firm expectation that the Lords will
pass the Bill, more confidence was displayed in commercial and
in manufacturing circles.
There are accounts from Port Philip this morning to the
6th January. There is scarcely an item of intelligence of in-
terest. Sheep and other farming stock were Advancing in
yalue, and altogether things looked brighter.
A singular paragraph has been sent to us as respects the
finances of China. No doubt the payment on account of
the demands made upon the Celestial Empire under the
treaty with us has rather drained the bureau of the col-
lectors of revenue in China. The extract is as follows, and it
shows at least that his Celestial Majesty is alive to financial
matters. The Pekin Gazette states :

" Owing to the unsatisfactory state of the Treasury
accounts, and general confusion in the financial depart-
ment, the Emperor has issued orders that the Treasurers
of the different provinces shall produce comparative annual
statements since his accession to the Throne. It is hoped
that from a minute examination of the account to be given in,
the Ministers will be enabled to discover whence the present de-
ficit arises, and take such measures to prevent such evils in
future. These returns are to be laid before the public, and
will give full details of the income and expenditure. This is
the first document of the sort ordered to be printed for ge-
neral information, and it may be considered as one of the
most important events that has for a long period occurred in
China. Joined to this ordinance is a list of defaulters in
Kweichoo Province, where several district magistrates have
been unable to pay up their arrears.
The British Securities are very steady this morning with
rather an improved feeling. Consols for the Account are at
96% %, and at 96% % for Money. The premium upon
Exchequer Bills has advanced to 235. The meeting of the
protectionists, held on Saturday, at the Clarendon Hotel, to
enter into a solemn compact to oppose the Corn Bill in the
House of 'Ands, is spoken of here only with
ridicule. All the protection Peers were invited to
attend, but under sixty were present. The odds,
in betting circles in the City, have increased in favour
of the measure passing the Peers with a majority, variously
estimated at 20 to 25. India Stock has ruled at 265%; the
Reduced Three per Cents. at 96% %; and East India Bonds,
under 1,0001., at 295. premium.

The meeting of the creditors of Mexico, now in progress
at the London Tavern, is likely to be a stormy one. It is
fully attended.
In the Foreign Market there has not been any business of
importance transacted this morning. Mexican Bonds have
been quoted at 321/2 14, and the Deferred at 1514. Spanish
Stock has receded to 2414, the Deferred to 15%, the Russian
Metalliques are at 1101/2, and the Dutch Four per Cents.
at 913%.
In the Railway Share and Scrip Market a very limited
amount of business has been transacted to-day.

SPORTING INTELLIGENC E.
TATTERSALL'S—YEsTERDAY.

The subscribers assembled yesterday in force, and carried
on business with great spirit until beyond the usual hour of
closing. The principal feature of the betting was the retreat
of Sting, who opened, and continued for sometime, nominally
at 6 to 1, and at last fell back to 8 to 1, laid repeatedly, and
his enemies quite ready to go on. This movement had the
effect of raising Sir Tattan Sykes, Tom Tullock, Humdrum,
and Fancy Boy, a point each on their opening prices; they
were in steady demand in good quarters. The Peri colt and
Poynton were in considerable favour, and 40 to 1 was taken
to win nearly 20,0001. about Mr. E. R. Clark's the Conqueror
(the Wizard of the North colt), late Mr. Osbaldeston's. The
investments on the other horses quotel were small amounts.
