At Barcelona, on the 14th, everything was
tranquil, and the attempted revolt at Vich excited
no uneasiness. It was reported on the Paris Bourse
on Thursday, that 600 soldiers of the garrison
of Pampeluna had deserted to the rebels, and
that, on the other hand, the Carlists had met
with defeat in various points. These, however,
are mere rumours. The Paris Papers state that
the Ceres had arrived at Brest from Lisbon,
bringing intelligence that the army of Don
MIGUEL had, on the 11th, commenced its
retreat to Santarem. We think there is a mis-
take in the date, and that it should be the 13th,
as the fact coincides with what we gave in The
Sun of yesterday. It is stated in a letter from
Berlin, that the King of PRUSSIA was menaced
with an attack of apoplexy. The French Funds
are heavy, chiefly owing, it is said, to the
speech of the King of HOLLAND.

We have received Frankfort Papers to the
20th inst. They contain accounts from Vienna
of the 14th, but they are not of interest. From
Constantinople, under date of the 25th of Sep-
tember, we learn that the capital was perfectly
tranquil. The ravages of the late fire are stated
to have been less extensive than they were at
first represented to have been.

Letters from Brussels state that the Prussian
Ambassador hail arrived there, and that he
would soon be followed by that of Austria.

There is no misfortune, however grave, which
will not sometimes assume an almost ludicrous
aspect. Thus even the devouring evils which
have arisen from the Poor Laws occasionally
assume an appearance so absurd, as to tempt
one to laugh, were they not proofs but too plain
of the depth of the moral gangrene which has
to be eradicated. The following is taken from
the Leicester Police Report of the Leicester
Journal:—

" A woman applied for relief for her children, which
was refused by the parish, on the ground that she had
thrown herself out of work purposely, being a member of
the Trades' Union. She said that she wanted no relief
for herself, but only for her children, but the Magistrates
told her she must provide for them. The aged dame
stood upon the high ground now so generally taken by
the working classes, and ejaculated, " What ! am I bound
to keep my children? Never likely!" Again applying
for relief for her children, she was dismissed, with the
aumer that nothing of the kind would be ordered."
Hard, painful, and ungrateful is the task False
Charity has given True Charity to perform ;
but performed it must be, or we shall speedily
see the vast fabric:of our power, which industry
has raised, fall to the ground.

We observe with much pleasure, by an ad-
vertisement in our first page, that a public
;o for the relief of the
shipwrecked mariners," who have lost their all
in the expedition under Captain Ross. We
can scarcely doubt that the same spirit of
humanity which exhibited itself so conspicuously
in a concern for their safety, when temporarily
lost to the world, will now be manifested in the
supply of that assistance to which their courage,
misfortunes, and sufferings, so justly entitle them.
The spirit of enterprise which led to this
voyage is amongst the finest of our national
characteristics, and one which, under all the
circumstances and vicissitudes by which it must
be necessarily attended, should be encouraged
and sustained. These hardy and destitute
adventurers having no legitimate claim upon
Government for their losses, renders a public
appeal the more necessary, a circumstance which,
by throwing them more completely on the kind-
ness of their countrymen, will, we hope and
trust, contribute the more certainly to insure its
success.

It has been for some time past our intention
to recommend to our friends throughout the
kingdom the adoption of a plan which cannot
fail, in a very short time indeed, to rid the
people of the Corn Laws. We have only waited
till the arrival of the period when it could be
advantageously adopted. There is a time for all
things—a time for writing ; a time for talking ;
and a time for acting. The gross injustice, the
tyrannical oppression, the monstrous evils of the
Corn Laws, have been long enough written upon ;
have been long enough talked about ; the time
for action is come. It is proposed to form a
Society in the Metropolis, with branches
throughout the country, to be called " The
Anti-Corn Law Society," which, it is not
doubted, must in a. short space, exercise an influ-
ence too powerful for the short-sighted monopo-
lists, who fancy their interests advanced by depres-
sing the population and industry of the country,
to resist. It will be seen, by an article in another
column, taken from the Nottingham Review, that
some spirited inhabitants of the county of Notting-
ham have anticipated this design, and formed them-
selves into an association, having for object the
freedom of trade in food. We cannot too
earnestly recommend their example to imitation.
Let those who wish the value of all property to
rise, let those who think that men have a right
to exchange their labour for food wherever they
can get it, let those who wish the springs of
industry to be free, assemble together in their
several towns and villages, and concert measures
for uniting their energies in the attainment of
the great object they have in view.

The Duke of Buckingham's collection of
ancient and modern engravings at Stowe in number and
value exceed any other collection in Europe. His Grace
hap, upon more than one occasion, paid upwards of 5,000
guineas for additions to his treasures.
Mrs. Hughes Ball has relinquished her resi-
dence in Hertford street, May-fair, and gone to the
Continent, to reside permanently. Mr. Hughes Ball has
lately quitted Paris for Brussels, where he means to reside
during the winter. All the magnificent furniture she
brought from Oatlands, after the purchase of that seat by
Lord f. L. Gower, is to be Bold off.
