SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

was on the point of being signed when I took possession of the
Foreign Department. Repeated claims and complaints on the
subject of the losses which the trade of the Republic was sup-
posed to have sustained at the hands of the Spanish authori-
ties, or by vessels bearing our flag, gave rise to along and tedi-
ous negotiation, which has at length been terminated by fixing
the sum which the Spanish Government had to pay in order
to be entirely free. This sum having been ascertained after
certain immoderate pretensions had been considerably reduced,
all that remained to be done when I entered the Cabinet re-
lated to certain accidental circumstances with regard to its
execution. Those difficulties have been removed without pre-
judice to the Treasury, and her Majesty, after consulting the
Council of Regency and her Ministers, gave orders that the
treaty should be concluded, the ratifications of which have just
been received, and of which a copy is to be inserted among
the documents.

The Courts of Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin, enter-
tained the most friendly relations with the Spanish Cabinet at
the period of the death of Don Ferdinand VII., nor did it ap-
pear that the smallest difficulty or delay was to arise in the re-
cognition of his august descendant as the legitimate heiress of
his throne, both because the question of succession, even► if
it should give rise to internal troubles, was at all events
a national and, so to speak, a domestic question ; and also
because, although some of the Powers might think themselves
aggrieved by the restoration of the ancient law of succession
in Spain, with reference to the succession to the throne, in
opposition to a modern provision foreign to the country, re-
ceived reluctantly and never executed, yet these Powers were
certainly those who could establish the smallest motive for ob-
jection or difficulty since the re-establishment of the ley de
partida, the observance of which may be reckoned by ages,
and the pride of authorship ascribed to Philip V., which
clearly disclosed its origin and its tendency, in no way com-
promised the general relations of Europe, but were favour-
able, on the contrary, to the system of a common equilibrium.
It is right, also, on this occasion to repeat, as her Majesty
thought fit to do in the speech from the throne at the opening
of the session of the Cortes, that the Cabinets above-men-
tioned have not discovered any intention or desire to interfere
in a question purely Spanish, and that, on the contrary, they
have repeated their protests and assurances that they will wit-
ness with the utmost solicitude the tranquillity and happiness
of Spain, regarding only as a temporary suspension the pre-
sent interruption of their former relations.
Matters having been found in this state at the period of my
accession to the Ministry, I thought it my duty to communi-
cate instructions on the subject to her Majesty's representa-
tives at the Courts of the principal Powers who had not_ yet
recognized our Sovereign the Queen, and in that document I
expressed with sincerity and good faith the views and inten-
tions of the Queen Regent, and that it was her wish and desire
to renew with all these states our former relations of friend-
ship and good will, but charging, above all, the diplomatic
agents of her august daughter on no account to do anything
which might injure the dignity of the Crown, or the independ-
ence of the nation.

On the subject of this important communication, her Ma-
jesty has received several new proofs that the political position
of these Cabinets with reference to the Spanish Government
has not been essentially altered, and although the develope-
ment of events approaches more and more the term of the
suspended recognition, her Majesty has thought it convenient
to order that the Ministers of our Sovereign the Queen ac-
credited to their Courts should set out for their respective
destinations, in virtue of the powers with Nhich they had
already been provided.
Her Majesty in her wisdom has thought that, instead of re-
monstrances and reclamations, the complete triumph of the
legitimate cause over the party of the usurpation within the
kingdom would accelerate the renewal of our old relations
with the other Powers ; and as the credit and influence of a go-
vernment depends on its own elements of strength and stability,
her Majesty, for this reason, places her greatest relianceon the
restoration of the fundamental laws and the preservation of pub-
lic order.

Various States of Germany, as well as of Italy, have fol-
lowed the example of the Powers above-mentioned, it being
only necessary to take special notice of two Governments of
that peninsula, in consequence t f peculiar circumstances con-
nected with them. _

From the moment when his late Majesty Don Ferdinand
VII., now in glory, gave orders for the promulgation—as a
law of the kingdom--of the resolutions of the Cortes of Ma-
drid of 1789 (which, in fact, was only a renewal of the most
ancient ley de partida), the King of the Two Sicilics, think-
ing that his eventual right to the Crown of Spain might be
prejudiced, protested against that determination—a protest
which was afterwards repeated, in a more solemn mariner, at
the periods of the oath of the Cortes to our Sovereign the
Q..teen, as Princess of the Asturias, and of the death of Don
Ferdinand VII., from which last period until now, the diplo-
matic relations have remained suspended between two nations
long united by so many ties and so many glorious recollections.
It is in the highest de,•sree painful to have to number among
those Governments who have not yet recognized our Sovereign
the Queen that of the Holy See, and the more especially since
the Pontiff combines the character of a temporal Sovereign
with that of the visible bead of the Catholic Church ; the last
circumstance, as it multii,lies the relations between the two
States, gives them also more weight and importance.
It is impossible for the Government of a nation so eminently
religious, or for a Sovereign so distinguished for her piety as
the Queen Regent, to regard a matter of this nature with in-
difference. Within a few days after my accession to the Mi-
nistry, that there might be not any misunderstanding as to the
delay of the recognition on the part of the Holy See, or any
misconception as to the laws and customs of Spain, or lest the
political question should not be considered under its true point
of view, or lest the facts by reason of the distance might be
misrepresented, I caused a Royal order to be issued directing
her Majesty's representative at the Court of Rome to make the
communication which appears among the documents.
In that communication the evils arising from a suspension so
much to be lamented are stated with frankness and candour,
as well as with due respect and circumspection, as well as the
advantages which must arise both to Church and State from
the early renewal of our accustomed relations.
The just desires of her Majesty the Queen Regent have not
yet been satisfied ; but the conciliatory tone of some recent
communications, and other proofs in possession of the Govern-
ment, confirm the grateful assurance, that as both parties are
animated by a spirit of sincerity and friendship, the difficUlties
and obstacles still remaining will soon be cleared away.
Such has been the conduct observed by her Majesty's Go-
vernment towards those Powers who have not yet recognized
our Sovereign the Queen, a conduct at once temperate and
decorous, which has permitted the manifestation of sentiments
of friendship and goodwill, without tarnishing the splendour of
the Crown or compromising the interests of the nation.
The Government has not forgotten at the proper period the
enlargement of the political relations of Spain ty the solemn
recognition of several states which hitherto had not been ac-
knowledged.
The events which in the new world raised the empire of
Brazil to the rank of an independent kingdom, and the com-
plication which afterwards arose through the war in Portugal
on the subject of the accession to the throne, entitled the
Spanish Cabinet to refuse for a long period the recognition of
that state. But as soon as her Majesty the Queen Regent
saw that the time was arrived for the recognition of Donna
Maria da Gloria as Queen of Portugal, offering as the an-
nouncement of our recognition the legal and disinterested co-
operation of our arms, and as soon as the rapid and fortunate
issue of the contest had secured the fate of that kingdom, her
Majesty hastened to recognize Don Pedro 11. as Emperor of
the Brazils, thus strengthening within a short period our friendly
relations with two branches of the same illustrious house.
This proceeding was not only dictated by her Majesty's per-
sonal feelings, but by rules of wholesome policy, and by the
laudable desire to act in concert with her august allies, quite
as much as by the suggestions of her own convenience, be-
cause it was time to remove the detriment and prejudice which
the commerce of Spain with the empire of Brazil had been
suffering from the want of political relations between the two
countries ; for her Majesty has just reason to entertain the sa-
tisfactory expectation that if this nation, under the favour of
Heaven, and with the impulse of a legal and temperate Go-
vernment, shall soon recover its energy and vigour, the im-
mense resources it possesses in its bosom, and the rich gifts
with which it is endowed by nature, will open in the new world
a market so vast and lucrative, as will vent, as if by enchant-
ment, our concealed sources within the Peninsula of wealth
and prosperity.
The picture presented by the commerce of Spain with the
empire of the Brazils as it now exists, although reduced to a
limited scale, still offers the most flattering perspective, ac-
cording to all information which reaches the Government, and
it will not be one of the smallest titles to the gratitude of the
nation, among the many benefits already due to the august
Queen Regent, to record, that at the very time when she was
hastening with his arms the triumph of the legitimate throne
and the liberty of a neighbouring kingdom, she was extending
her regards towards the new world, in order to open its ports
to the vessels of Spain, and revive with their rich freights the
agriculture, the industry, and the commerce of the, nation.
The day will soon come when these great advantages will
extend themselves over a wider circle, and when the nation,
prospering under the shade of tutelary institutions, will conse-
crate itself to the solid and permanent benefits which its ardour
and courage displayed in other ages in glorious conquests.
Pursuing the same path, and desirous of assimilating our
political with our mercantile interests, Her Majesty has been
pleased to recognize the new state of Belgium, and to send a
diplomatic agent to the Court of His Majesty King Leopold.
It would be altogether useless, beside being tedious and em-
barrassing, to trace the march which has been followed in the
negotiations relating to the separation of Belgium from Hol-
land—negotiations at times interrupted, at others rtnewed,
and which still left at hazard the general peace, if the illus-
trious monarchs who take the lead in European affairs had not
known the value of its preservation.
The negotiations for the termination of a definitive arrange-
ment between the two parties interested having drawn towards
their conclusion, we may assure ourselves that with it the Eu-
ropean question will be concluded, supposing the five Powers
represented in the conferences of London to be agreed on the
capital point of the separation of the one kingdom from the
other, and as the King of Holland, however unwilling to pro-
mote its execution, is exclusively occupied with the interests of
his Crown, has more than once expressed his consent to the
separation of the one state from the other, provided
it take place under such conditions as he thinks just.
The question having arrived at this state of maturity, the
Spanish Government, from reasonable motives of delicacy and
circumspection, delayed the recognition of Belgium as a new
state admitted into 'the great European family; but the ex-
ample of other nations, and the desire to satisfy the wishes of
Her Majesty's august allies, and, above all, the duty of not
neglecting the interests of the nation, which require the esta-
blishment of political relations with
.the new kingdom, in
order, under their shelter, to give' stability and extension to
our mercantile relations—everything, in fact, convinced the

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1834.

Intelligence from Madrid has been received up to
the 13th inst. The Ministry are gaining ground in
the confidence. of the_ people ; though the financial
project of Count TORENO is neither in accordance
with the views of the inhabitants of Spain, nor strictly
just, as it is now understood, towards the public cre-
ditor. On this subject, however, nothing certain can
be known before the Finance Committee has made its
report, which may not be for several days. Many
Members of the Committee are highly exasperated in
consequence of most extraordinary and unaccountable
delays which have taken, and are taking place, in laying
before them copies of the official documents regarding
the debt, and the resources of the country which can
he applied to its liquidation. They seem to be per-
suaded that TORENO'S plan was more the creature
of his fancy—" an airy nothing"—than a scheme
maturely considered, and based upon a sound and
thorough knowledge of the real state of the country.
We trust, in whatever takes place, the nation will
redeem its pledge to the public creditor. Spain has
abundant means of discharging every real of her debt,
without the slightest diminution of the national in-
come. The sale of the ecclesiastical property belong-
ing to convents, without any mention whatever of the
wealth of the parochial or secular clergy, for NN horn it
is right that a provision be made and secured to them
by the State, would produce 3,000,000,000 of reals,
every fraction of Which, over and above a life annuity
to the present possessors, might he, and ought to be,
applied to the payment of the public debt. Then
again there is the private property of the country,
which may be made disposable for the same purpose,
and all this could be effected without adding a single
item to the taxation of the country. There was a
time, indeed, when to recommend such a mode of ad-
justing the finances of Spain would imply a
wish to see the country involved in all the
horrors of the most horrible of all wars—a religious
one ; but in Spain, as well as in England, the people
are beginning to distinguish between the shepherds
who tend their flocks, leading them into the richest

pastures, and among the clearest streamlets, and the
" ravening wolves" by whom the strong are hunted,
and the feeble devoured. They are at last awake to
the mistaken piety of leaving hordes of fanatics to
revel in the fat of the land, for no better reason than
that they have vowed to spend their lives incumbrances
to themselves, and pests to society. The greasy
cassock or habit, as it is more familiarly called among
religious orders, of a mendicant monk is no longer an
object of much veneration even among Spanish ma-
trons, who but some very few years since would have
reverently kissed the ground, impressed with a Domi-
nican or Franciscan sandal. All, therefore, the Mi-
nistry have to do, in order to gain the confidence of
the European Monet• Market, is at once to sell off
this property, and make the proceeds of such sale
available to the payment of the national debt.

On the 11th inst. M.M. DE LA ROSA submitted to
the Chamber of Proceres or Peers, the outlines of a law
which he had been for some time preparing for the
exclusion of DON CARLOS, and his descendants from
the Throne of Spain. The speeches (,f the Ministers
who spoke on this occasion detailed the conduct of the
rebellious Prince from the death of FERDINAND till
his arrival in Spain from England, with the intention
of usurping the Throne of his august Sovereign
DONNA ISABELLA. After the debate, in which all
the orators expressed their entire concurrence with the
sentiments of M. M. DE LA ROSA and his colleagues,
a committee was appointed to report upon the law,
composed of the following members :

Puig—President of the Council of Castille. The same
who refused to give course to the orders of Calomarde, at the
supposed death of Ferdinand.
Pelegrin—Minister of Justice in 1822.
Garcia Herreros--Ditto in 1821.
Conde de Penafiel (late Fernandez de Pino)—Minister
under Ferdinand, previotis to Zea's
The Bishop of Lugo.
The Archbishop of Burgos.
Marquess of Camarasal
The Duke d'Hijar Grandees of Spain.
Conde ee San Roman—Personal Friend of Ferdinand VII.
and present Commander of the Provincial Militia Guards.

Of these the first four are Lawyers, so that the ques-
tion will be discussed lid: Members of every order in
the State—Priests, Grandees, and men learned in the
Law, who have sprung from, and represent the feelings
of the great bulk of the people. The report, when
made public, will strike at the roots of all hope of Don
CARLOS ever mounting, either by himself or in his
lineal descendants, the Spanish Throne.
The only accounts which we have received relative
to the movements of the insurgents, will be found in
the extracts from the French papers. The report of the
concealment of Don CARLOS in Paris, mentioned in
another article on the intelligence from Paris, had not
reached the Spanish capital up to the latest date at
which communications left Madrid. It is certainly by
no means encouraging that in many parts of Spain
the people are less sanguine in expectation of an im-
mediate termination of the war than are most of the
inhabitants of France and England. This can only
be accounted for by the gross ignorance which pre-
vails in the more mountainous provinces, and the in-
fluence of the monks in those places.
In another part of The Sun we have given copies
of the official documents respecting the foreign rela-
tions of Spain, to which we made allusion some days
since. They contain very little which we had not be-
fore given ; but, as the public is interested in learning
every particular respecting the Ministerial announce-
ments, we now publish them as they were officially
delivered.

Mr. O'CONNELL has commenced his career of
agitation in Ireland by one of those peculiar samples of
oratory which he alone can make, and his hearers
alone can comprehend. At a public dinner lately
given to him at Waterford, the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman, after assuring his hearers that he had at
length become a " Ministerial" man, and that he saw
in the formation of the MELBOURNE Cabinet, the
dawn of a sunny day for Ireland, for which he could
never be sufficiently grateful, proceeded to confirm the
fact of his " Ministerial" predilections by stating,
broadly and unreservedly, that he was just as staunch a
Repealer--just as much_ of an agitator—just as much
of a DANIEL O'CONNELL as ever he was ! We
congratulate the Government on the acquisition they
have made in such a " Ministerial" supporter as
this. They never had such a one before. They
never, were they to live to the age of METH us
ALEN!,
could expect to have such another ; for the like of the
' illustrious DANIEL, is to be found neither in the
heavens above, the earth beneath, or the waters under
the earth." He is a phenomenon peculiar to the
Emerald
.Isle. We request our readers' particular
attention to his initiatory speech at Waterford. Of all
prodigies, it is the most prodigious. It professes an
attachment to repeal, on the score of its attachment to
Ministers, and assures the people that the surest way
to preserve peace and quiet is by ringing the alarm-
bell of agitation ! Is Mr. O'CONNELL cracked, or is
he not ?

While a great clamour has been raised against
Tithes in Ireland, not a complaint has been heard
against Grand Jury Assessments in that kingdom,
though they are a much greater evil. If a road is to
be made, or a bridge to be built, or a gaol to be
erected, the expense is by these Grand Jury Assess-
, ments thrown upon the occupying tenant. It is right
and proper that the repair should be borne by him,
but in the name of common sense and justice,
why are permanent improvements to be defrayed by
the cultivator, and not by the owner of the soil ? Who
benefits by this system of -injustice ? The landlords.
When the tenantry of Ireland suffer infinitely more
from the burthens of Grand Jury Assessments, than
they do by the payment of tithes, and when so much
noise has been made about the" latter, while the
silence of the grave is observed in regard to the
former, can it be believed that the landlords
of Ireland are not mainly at the bottom of all the re-
sistance that has been made in Ireland to the payment
of tithe ? Unless they alter their course, Irish landlords
may find that what they have done in this behalf
will recoil upon themselves. As they have shown
their tenantry, how they may profit by resisting the
payment of tithe, their. tenants may come to consider
how they may profit by resisting the payment of rent.
To entitle Irish landlords to expect that their tenants
should be honest, they themselves must cease to be un-
just, and abandon the present infamous practice of
Grand Jury Assessments; and for every permanent im-
provement proposed to be made, they must bear that
proportion of the expense of it with which they ,flow
burden their tenants.

Much money has been of late years granted by
Parliament, for the promoting of public works in Ire-
land. We do not complain of these grants, but we
do say that the Government will minister to the ini-
quity and injustice of Irish landlords, if it does not
make it a condition of such grants in future, that the
remainder of the expense fin which such grants may

be made shall be borne by the landlords, and not by
the tenantry of Ireland.
This leads us to advert to anaccount just printed,
shelving the sums granted for making roads and bridges
in the Highlands of Scotland, and the ' Caledonian
Canal ; also for canal communication in Canada,
from which it appears that the grants made for this
last purpose since 1826 have amounted to no less
than 977,3001. Now, sure we are, that one-half of
this sum granted to Commissioners, who, like the Com-
missioners for Highland roads and bridges, should hold
their sittings in Westminster, to whom should be com-
mitted the making agreements for the drainage of the bogs
in Ireland, the superintendance of the navigation of
the Shannon, and the opening of a communication be-
tween that river and the navigable lakes of Galway,
to whom also should be committed the superintend-
ance of the roads in Ireland, by which the iniquitous
system of Grand Jury assessments would be corrected,
we say one half of the sums which have been bestowed
upon canal communication in Canada, if granted to such
a Commission for such purposes in Ireland, would have
been attended with infinitely more good to the United
Kingdom, and we trust that another Session of Par-
liament will not be suffered to pass away without such
a grant being made, and such a Commission being
appointed.

The most important news from Paris, is a report
that Don CARLOS is, and has been for some time,
concealed in that city. Information to that effect was
on Wednesday communicated to the Government, upon
which orders were given to the Police to hunt him
out, and seize him without delay. Great credit is
given to this rumour ; and during the whole of Wed-
nesday evening the Police were out in every direction
instituting a strict search for the royal fugi-
tive. We presume, if captured, he will be delivered up
to the Spanish Government, to be dealt with as the
laws of Spain shall have provided.
The Paris papers of Thursday (yesterday) state the
resignation of M. THIERS, without any allusion to
his colleagues in office. Vie cannot credit this unless
there be other reasons for his resignation besides
the alleged ministerial defeat on the address of
the Chamber of Deputies. TIIIERS is a keen
little place-loving gentleman, whose conduct during
the revolution of July showed, that, if once in
place and power, he would stay there as long as he
could. If he really have resigned, the KING, and
not the Chamber of Deputies, is at the bottom of
it. Louis PHILIPPE knows him as well as any man
in France, and were he to hint the resignation of
TRIERS, the courier of LAFAYETTE to the trembling
Duke of ORLEANS, knows too well the disposition of
his Royal Master not instantly to obey him.

Some of our contemporaries have indulged in the
most extraordinary comments on the proceedings of
the House of Lords upon the Warwick Bill. It
would seem from their statements that the LORD
CHANCELLOR had made common cause with
Lord WARWICK, and separated himself from his
colleagues and friends to support and serve that
very liberal and enlightened nobleman. If there
is any truth in this charge, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR has made the most gratuitous sacrifice of
character ever known in history. What on earth could
he gain by identifying himself with a Nobleman the
least influential, and at the same time, considering his
limited. means, the most unpopular in the country : a
Nobleman who never gave a single vote in favour of either

civil or religious liberty, and whose name is only
known to his fellow-countrymen by his odious efforts to
corrupt the political integrity of those whom he
was bound by every tie, public as well as private, to
instruct by his example in the pure and honourable
exercise of their constitutional privileges ? If the
LORD CHANCELLOR can have voluntarily descended
from the lofty pedestal, to which he has been raised by
his great public services, to associate himself with such
an individual as this, it would not only be ut-
terly inconsistent with the constancy with which
he has adhered to his principles during a
public life of now more than a quarter of a century,
but with the talents which have during the same pe-
riod so pre-eminently distinguished him in every step
of his brilliant career. The charge, indeed, is no
less absurd than it is unfounded. The LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, in no part of the proceedings, expressed any
approbation of Lord WARWICK'S conduct, but sitting
as he did in the House, in a judicial capacity,
as an interpreter of the law to the other Peers, it was
incumbent on him to express his honest and impartial
opinion of the points brought under his consideration.
In this opinion he did not stand alone. We believe Lord
DENMAN occasionally attended, and we never heard
of his dissent from anything that fell from the LORD
CHANCELLOR during the investigation. Lord
RADNOR, it is well known, virtually took charge of the
Bill during Lord DURHAM'S absence, and so far from
his opposing the views which the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR had taken of the case, his Lordship had no
sooner closed his speech on the evidence, that
fatal speech which has called forth such indigna-
tion
on the part of our Contemporaries, than
Lord RADNOR rose and said "I agree in every word
uttered by my Noble and Learned Friend." It is
impossible to furnish stronger testimony than
this of the falsehood of the charges against
the LORD CHANCELLOR, and we do not envy
the feelings of the persons in whom they originated.
We yield to no one in detestation of the practices pur-
sued by Lord WARWICK and his partisans in the un-
fortunate borough which is cursed. by his connection with
it ; we deeply lament the issue of the proceedings in
the Lords for the emancipation of that borough,
but we are quite sure that no genuine consolation can
be derived from the gross misrepresentation of facts,
and the circulation of groundless imputations.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS (THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. CONS? and a Bench of Magistrates. )
John Brown and Charles Harvey were convicted for steal-
ing a pair of shoes, the property of Susan Mitchington.
The prisoners went up to the prosecutor's shop-board, and
took away the shoes, value 10d.; they were seen by the prose-
cutrix's daughter, who informed the police, to whom she de-
scribed the prisoners, who were taken into custody with the
shoes in their possession.
Sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

Mary Leah was indicted for stealing 8 shirts, 4 handker-
chiefs, 8 collars, 1 vest, and 1 table-cloth, the property of Mr.
Leary, the surgeon of Parliament-street.
Mrs. Lane, servant to the Doctor, proved that on the 7th
August the prisoner came and asked for the Doctor's linen.
She gave it her because she asked for it for her mistress, and
Mrs: Black always called him Doctor. She did not say more
than that she wanted the linen for her mistress.
Police Constable 28 L saw the prisoner in Westminster-
road with the bundle of Linen, trying to pawn the articles ; she
was rather the worse for liquor, and he asked her where she
got it ; she gave various accounts, and he took her to the sta-
tion-house.

The CHAIRMAN said there was a lapse in the evidence, for
she was indicted for obtaining the property on account of Mrs.
Black, while the whole of the proof went to skew that she
had never once used the name—there could be no doubt but
that the prisoner was guilty of the offence, but he did not
think the indictment was sustained. Unless the Jury could
nfer that by the phrase of " her mistress" she could mean no
other than Mrs. Black, they must acquit the prisoner.
The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The express from Paris is remarkable, in respect to the con-
tradictory reports it brings respecting the affairs of Spain, as
no official reports have been published by the French Govern-
ment of the respective positions of the contending armies, by
which we must conclude that nothing favourable or decisive
has taken place. One day we hear that Don Carlos and his
troops are marching to Biscay ; to-day we are informed that
he is marching on the high road to Madrid at the head of 19,000
men. The various accounts from day to day are so vague and
deceiving, that it is impossible to form any true judgment of
their military movements. Certain we are that Don Carlos
must have some excellent officers with him, and his army
stronger than we imagine ; otherwise he would not be able to
lead General Rodil such a dance after him.

A report prevailed at Paris that the House of Deputies in
Spain would not grant more than 25 per cent. for the Cortes
Bonds. It was also stated that M. Thiers had resigned.
The police in the above capital appear to be on the alert,
having some suspicion that Don Carlos, or some of Buona-
parte's family, are in that capital. Spanish conies lower,
; 3 per Cents., 75-30.

THE FUNDS.
Consols maintain yesterday's leaving-off prices, 904 i for
the Account, at which they opened this morning, with little
doing. Spanish Stock, in consequence of the accounts from
Spain by the express being considered unfavourable, have de-
clined from the leaving-off prices of yesterday, 451 to 441 ;
Portuguese, 831 84.
Some fear is entertained that the Financial Committee at
Madrid will be some time before they make their report, as
already there is an evident delay in their progress, as they
accuse Toreno of not furnishing them with the necessary docu-
ments they require.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The New York papers received at the North and South
American Coffeehouse, of the 24th July, bring accounts from
Quebec of the 19th ult., stating that the cholera prevailed at
Quebec, and about twenty persons died per day.
The British as well as the Foreign Funds, have been very
inactive during the morning. Consols at one period reached
soi- buyers, at present may be quoted 90i ; Spanish Stock
heavy, at 44a 4 ; Portuguese 831 84. No further arrivals.

EXTRAORDINARY SPIDER.—We have this- week
been shown one of the largest and most singular looking in-
sects of this species that we ever saw. It was found in the
house of Mr. Broadmead, the Malt Shovel Inn, in Walmgate;
and was not only large as a marble, but its body, which was
brown, was beautifully streaked or spotted with white.— York
Courant.

REMARKABLE DEATII.—A boy about two years
of age, the son of Mr. Collinge, of the Hare and Hounds,
Shaw, Crompton, was put to bed very early, and. awaking, as is
supposed, and endeavouring to get out, he fell betwixt a table
and the bed-post, and being suspended by his chin upon the
table, he was strangled, and was quite dead when discovered,
about eleven o'clock at night.—York Courant.

AN ORIENTAL BREAKFAST.---WC had not sat
much longer with him (Runjeet Sing), when he said, " You
must breakfast with me;" an honour with which we would
have rather dispensed, but there was no retreating. The
chairs were removed, and a velvet cushion was placed for
each of us in front of the Maharaja, and the simple fare of
this potentate produced. It consisted of various kinds of rice,
with milk, sugar, and some preserved mangoes; all of which
were served up in leaves sewed together. Runjeet selected
the choicest parts, and handed them to us himself; politeness
compelled us to keep him company. The thumb and fingers
are certainly a poor substitute for the knife and fork. When
breakfast was finished, Runjeet asked if we would accept a
dinner from him ; and immediately gave instructions for its
preparation, and we had it sent to us in the evening. It was
much the same as the breakfast, and served up in a similar
manner.—Burnes's Voyage on the Indus.

The Manati, or sea-cow, from ten to sixteen feet in
length, has a head something like a bull-dog, nostrils semi-
lunar, and eyes very small and near the snout ; it is without
cars in outward appearance, but has two small spiracula situated
at the back part of the head ; mouth large, with soft and pro-
tracted lips, fitted for laying hold of the grass or herbage
growing near the shore ; neck short, and body covered with a
rough blackish skin, thinly sprinkled with bristly hair; the
belly and sides near the tail white. From the shoulders pro-
trude two pectoral fins (the only fins on the animal), resemb-
ling arms, with which it supports itself in the water, and which
enables the female to give suck to its young (of which it only
bears one at a time) who receives it from several porous open-
ings or =mime in the breast of the animal. The tail is formed
like that of the whale. It is not an amphibious animal, never
leaving the water, but feeding upon the aquatic plants and
shrubs growing on the borders of the rivers and lakes, some-
times elevating its head to munch at the bushes which over-
hang them. Its flesh is white and delicate, resembling veal in
appearance and taste, particularly when dressed, and it will
keep good several weeks, even in the hot climate of which it
is a native, when other meat will not resist putrefaction for as
many days.—From Montgomery Martin's " History of the
i3ritish Colonies," Vol. IL, West Indies.
