LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1834.

Want of space prevents us from entering upon the
subject of the grand public dinner given to Lord ,
DunitA m, at Glasgow, on the 29th inst., at the length
which its importance deserves. Thus much, however,
we may say, that it passed off in a triumphant manner,
and that the three topics on which the Noble Earl chiefly
insisted, as being the ground-work of his political creed,
namely, household suffrage, the repeal of the Septennial
Act, and Vote by Ballot have always had, and always
shall have, our warmest approbation and support. In
allusion to these three points, the Trades' Unions of
Glasgow, in their Address to Lord DURHAM, express
themselves with a frankness, a moderation, and libe-
rality that does them the highest honour. The
passage indeed is so every way commendable, that we
cannot resist the temptation of extracting it :
" Let not your Lordship for a moment suppose that
we are so inconsiderate as to expect all at once all that
we innately feel an imperative right to claim—a full,
fair, and free representation in Parliament, by the ex-

,ension of the franchise to all who in any degree con

tribute to support the state, and advance the interests
of the social compact. This we will ever claim ;
but in pity for the ignorance, the violent pre-

judices, and the heartless illiberality of those of
the higher classes who look upon us as a de-
graded caste, we will be glad to acquire by peace-
able and constitutional means, and through the
incessant droppings of imperishable truth, a gradual
extension of our legitimate rights ; and shall be happy,
should your Lordship join with us in deeming house-
hold suffrage, vote by ballot, and the abridgment
of the duration of Parliament, as measures now re-
quisite, and which would satisfactorily lead to a better
understanding among all classes of the community."

circumstance most to be regretted at this
Antler, is Lord DURHAM'S attack on Lord
BROUGHAM. It is a thousand pities to see the
breach thus daily widening between two such eminent
Reformers, both of wham have equally their country's
interest at heart.

The"

The expulsion of M. BURGOS by the Cortes of the
Chamber of Proceres, has called forth a letter from
that nobleman to the editor of the Revista Espanola,
asserting his own innocence in the Guebhard Loan
transaction, and denouncing the violent treatment which
he experienced. The affair altogether has excited
great interest in Spain, and the result is looked forward
to with much attention. M. BURGOS was one of the
administration of which M. ZEA was the head, and
somehow or other grew suddenly rich, no one knew
exactly by what means, although every one had a
shrewd guess that his journey to Paris, to transact the
loan affair with the money jobbers immediately, pre-
ceded his sudden emergence from the depth of po-
verty, first to affluence, and suddenly to immense
wealth. During the discussion on the Guebhard

loan his name was so frequently whispered, in connec-
tion with transactions of no very praiseworthy nature,
that he was at last constrained to beg a committee to
enquire into his conduct. This was granted, together
with permission, which he solicited, to leave Madrid
till the report of the Committee was made known.
However, he thought proper not to avail himself of
his leave of absence, and accordingly took his seat in
the Chamber, which led to the act of expulsion, which
is now exciting so lively an interest in Madrid. The
Ministry did not dare to defend him, and although at
the moment of his expulsion several Members were
present, who must have known what part he took in the
loan jobbing, not one attempted to say a word in
his favour. The fact is, that he is generally looked
upon as a man devoid of all shadow of principle, and
whatever may be the report of the Committee of Ins
inquiry, he will never obtain confidence or respect
in Spain. The only thing for which the Chamber
merit blame, is for refusing him a hearing. His guilt
was not established, he was still a member of the Pro-
ceres, and consequently had a right to be heard.
The Queen Regent has issued a Royal decree, dated

the 19th inst., for regulating the mode of raising the
new loan of 400,000,000 of reals granted by the
Chambers. This decree is published in the Madrid
Gazette, and is as follows :
ROYAL ORDER.

It being necessary for the negotiation of the loan of
400,000,000 reals, voted by the Cortes, to point out a period
within which all propositions made for that purpose by. Spa-
niards or foreigners, should be received publicly and with com-
petition, I have resolved, in the name of my august daughter,
Isabella 11., after having heard the opinions of my Council of
Ministers, as follows :-
1. All propositions that may be made for contracting the
loan of 400,000,000 reals, voted by the Cortes, shall be trans-
