period the Orangemen were all but immaculate in Mr.
O'CoNNELL's eyes, andwould have been so to this day,
had they countenanced his Repeal scheme; but because
their common sense forbade their taking share in any
such folly, he now turns sharp round on them ; and what
is more preposterous still, falls foul of Ministers, be-
cause they refuse to adopt his view of the question,
and take share in his quarrels and prejudices. As the
whole of Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter is made up of
abuse of the Whig Ministry, and contains scarcely one
point that in some shape or other he has not already
insisted on, at least a hundred times, we content our-
selves with this cursory notice of it.

In order that the lovers of science may not be dis-
appointed by the irregular way in which the reports of
the proceedings of the British Association in Edin-
burgh, have appeared, we have given in this day's
Sun a condensed report of the entire six days. We trust
we may say without egotism that our sole object is to
Give all the encouragement in our power to the culti-
vation of science, amid the improvement of general
literature.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Thursday,, together with intelligence from Madrid
of the Ist instant. The Parisian journals re-
semble the old lady in the fable, who on
being asked by Judge MINOS in the infernal regions
what she had been doing during the sixty years of her
sojourn on earth, answered that she was so
busied with correcting the flirtations of a
parcel of idle jilts, as to have no time
to attend to her own affairs. The French Journals can
say the same thing for themselves, for so taken up are
they with patronizing, patting, remonstrating with and
ridiculing DE LA RosA and his colleagues, that they
have quite forgotten the Citizen KING, his Court, his
Cabinet, and his political intermeddlings. The news
from Madrid is not important, the principal arrivals
being detailed reports: of the Finance Committee, of
which we gave all that is really worth a perusal in
yesterday's Sun. The civil war is still carried on, but
with no appearance of being hastily extinguished.
The defeat of the Cabinet, on the Bill of Rights, has
given great satisfaction to the Spanish people.

Brussels papers of the 18th inst. state that General
GOBLET will not now be appointed to the Ministry
at War, notwithstanding the King's promise. The
reason assigned is the opposition of the Ministers at
present in office. The Belgian papers are filled with
discussions on this subject of no interest to our readers.
One of them says :—" We are assured that the Duke
of WELLINGTON has just applied to the Belgian Go-
vernment for the payment of 270,000 florins, for three
years' pay as Field-Marshal Inspector-General of
the fortifications in Belgium. It is added that the
English Ministry has not supported his application."

The following are extracts from German Papers re-
ceived this morning :--
PESTH, SEPT. 3.—We have not for many years had such an
animated fair as that just ended. An immense quantity of
goods was brought by 15 or 16,000 waggons by land, and
above 200 ships by water, and the concourse of strangers was
uncommonly great. It seems that the steam navigation on the
Danube and to Constantinople will soon become important.
The steam-boat already completed at Trieste will soon go to
Constantinople, and thence to the mouth of the Danube, and
ply regularly between Galacz and the Turkish capital. Next
year three steam-boats will be completed in that part of the
line. The indefatigable Count Szechenzi who is just gone to
Turkey, to make the necessary arrangements for blowing up
the rocks at what is called the iron gate, will soon begin with
the machines that have arrived from England.
Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador in London, is
expected here in a few days. He will be installed in the nu-
merous and lucrative domains in Hungary, which have fallen
to him by the death of his father. The Transylvanian Diet,
