PORTUGUESE THREE PER CENT. CONSOLIDATED

of railways is a work of paramount necessity, and that
the Government is bound to forward it by every means
at its disposal. The Right Hon. Baronet, in his
speech, does not content himself with advocating the
broad principle of railways. He sums up the objections
that are urged against them by agriculturists and other in-
terested classes, and shows that the fears so prevalent with
respect to a diminution of horse labour, and corn
consumption are totally groundless. He states—what
all men must admit to be true—that every improve-
ment has been resisted in the same way ; that canals
and steam-boats were condemned on account of the
injury which innkeepers, and mail-coach and van
proprietors would sustain ; yet the very persons
who anticipated ruin from steam-boats and
canals were the first to profit by them. By proper
management, and timely preparation to meet altered
circumstances, the same consequence will happen to
the very persons who now erroneously suppose that it
is their interest to prevent the establishment of
Railways.
We are pleased to learn by private communications
from several quarters, that the most of the Companies
already established are well supported ; and that
the works which have been commenced, are prosecuted
with unrelaxing vigour. It is not to be expected that
the funds of all will be managed with equal economy
and integrity, or that no person will enter into a Rail-
way speculation who is not possessed of a sufficient ca-
pital ; but these arc evils to which all human projects are
liable. For our own part, we cannot look beyond the
principle ; and did we attempt it, it would only expose
ourselves to be caught in the meshes of the law of
libel. In some cases—as for example the Great
Northern, Western, and Southern Railways—we can
speak without qualification of the solvency and ability
of the conductors ; but in others, we must leave the
public to decide such questions for itself. We shall
have done our duty in persuading the country that
the proposed projects are calculated to promote the
national welfare, without injury to the just claims of
individuals.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has addressed a letter to
the " Independent Electors of Westminster," in which
he says, " As to resigning my seat, unless called upon
by a majority of my constituents, I should not think
myself at liberty to do so, even if I wished it. In
my opinion, it would be a desertion of my post, and
unfair to the great body of the electors—so that,
maugre all cavil, calumny, and malignity, this post it
is my purpose unshrinkingly to maintain ;"—ln other
words, the Hon. Baronet will stick fast ; because to
resign, and so deprive Westminster of his inestima-
ble services, would be " unfair to the great body of
the electors," who, it is impossible, can ever again meet
with such a representative ! This is modest, to say the
least of it; but it is nothing to the comparison which Sir
FRANCIS institutes between himself and the well-known
patriot of Horace, " so ludicrously," he observes,
". translated by Mr. Creech, and therefore so apt to the
present purpose I" We grant the force of this re-
mark, for the comparison is indeed ludicrous to a de-
gree, and consequently, to be in perfect keeping,
should be given in the words of the most ludicrous
translation in existence. Horace, it may be remem-
bered, dwells with marked significance on the sound
intellect—the " solida mens"—of his just man,
or patriot ; a quality which none who have pe-
rused the recent epistolary effusions of " West-
minster's Glory" can possibly give him the slightest
credit for. Again, though he may be, and no doubt_
is, a just man, yet he is not " tenax propositi," like the
character so forcibly pourtravcd by the Latin poet, or
he would never have covertly abandoned his old prin-
ciples by playing the game of the Anti-Reformers,
on pretence of merely denouncing Mr. O'CONNELL'S
exceeding vulgarity. HORACE'S just man would never
have acted in this equivocal manner ; still less would
he, while condemning the faultS of another, have com-
mitted the very same faults himself ; for the Hon.
Baronet's present letter, abounding, as it does, in such
expressions as, " skimble-skamble epistle from Derry-
nanc,"—" bragging balderdash,"—" gabble of a
goose," &c., is quite as remarkable for the absence of
elegance and gentility, as the very coarsest of O'CoN-
NELL'S productions. If, therefore, DANIEL merits
expulsion from Brookes's by reason of his epistolary
vulgarities, sure we are that his denouncer deserves ex-
pulsion for the very same cause.

The Times of this morning, in an article as vapid
as the small beer at a Yorkshire boarding-school, in-
troduces an episode from JOSEPH ANDREWS, wherein
Parson ADAMS is represented as having been duped
by a foolish country Squire, who had promised him a
Living and then disappointed him, for the purpose of
instituting a parallel between his case and that of
Parson it owl, A TT, who, our Contemporary gravely
assures us, has been treated in precisely the same
manner by Lord BROUGHAM. Now, considering
the present Tory politics of the " Thunderer, "
this is the- most unfortunate illustration he could pos-
sibly have brought forward. For who was Parson
ADAMS ? And what are the reflections that his name
suggests to us? He was a man of first-rate scholar-
ship—regularly graduated at Oxford—of unblemished
character, both in public and private life—the father
of ten children and the idol of his parishioners---lef
compelled to starve on a pittance of some fifty
pounds a year, and even to associate with the
servants in the kitchen of Squire BOOBY'S house,
because he happened to be an unbefriended man,
and as such, was without the pale of Church
preferment ! Such was the way in which your High
Tory Churchmen in FIELDING'S time treated the
friendless members of the cloth—such the respect
they paid to the most religious and worthy of the fra-
ternity ! To a certain extent this same illiberal spirit
still continues ; we are surprised, therefore, that our
Tory Cotemporary should have selected for the purpose
of illustration such a character as Parson ADAMS,
whose menial rank in society is the greatest satire on
clerical Toryism that was ever penned.

The Journal des Debats of Sunday, which we
have received together with the other Paris Papers of
the same date, expresses surprise that no regulation
has taken place for affording the same facilities for the
circulation of French Journals in Spain, which are ex-
tended to English newspapers. Our Parisian contem-
porary cannot be serious in making this observation.
The active part taken by the Debats in assisting Mi-
nisters to abolish the freedom of the French Press, is
a sufficient proof that the Editor of that Journal de-
sires not an extension of its circulation. Were M.
RAYNEVAL to make a similar application to that
made by Mr. VILLIERS to the Spanish Government
respecting an international exchange of newspapers,
the Debats would be the first to denounce him as ex-
ceeding the instructions received by him from the
mouth of the Most Christian KING, and confirmed in
those missives from the Foreign-office, of which Louis
PIIILLIPPE is no indifferent composer. Whatever the
people of France may think of the matter, neither the
Citizen illy G, his Cabinet, nor the Journal des
Debats, entertain a wish for a closer connection
with the Spanish Liberals.

The advices from the north of Spain in the French
Papers of Sunday are unimportant, with the exception
of intelligence of the retreat of Don CARLOS from
before St. Sebastian. Tlie garrison, of 600 soldiers,
headed by a suspected Commander, succeeded in re-

pulsing the army:of the Usurper, and driving him, with
all his staff, towards Tolosa.

The French Journals quote from the Eco del
Comnzercio, a Madrid Journal, the following particu-
lars of disputes, attended with loss of life, between the
Portuguese auxiliaries and the inhabitants of Zamora,
towards the close of the month of November :

" From the moment the Portuguese arrived at Zamora
frequent disputes arose between them and the tradespeople
of the town, relative to the foreign money offered in pay-
ment of different articles, and the value of which had not
been fixed by the Spanish authorities. In a violent quar-
rel of this description, which occurred on the 24th, a coun-
tryman was mortally wounded by some Spanish soldiers,
who immediately after rushed into different parts of the
town, and committed various robberies and excesses. Tran-
quillity was, however, restored, and the night passed off
without further disturbance.

" Unfortunately, at ten o'clock, a soldier of the 6th Re-
giment was found dead in the square called Las Cortinas
de San Miguel. He appeared to have been assassinated
with a poinard ; the local police, instead of immediately
removing the body, left it in the mud during the night and
a part of the followinc, morning. As soon as the Portu-
guese left their barracks, which were close to the spot, the
first thing that struck their view was the bloody corpse of
one of their comrades. Thus rendered furious, they spread
in• various parts of the town, armed with swords and knives,
and wounded and ill-treated every Spaniard they met ;
they broke into several shops, giving way to the most vio-
lent excesses ; so that Zamora had more the appearance of
a town taken by assault than of a place occupied by the
soldiers of a friendly Power. On the 25th, at eight o'clock
in the evening, not a single inhabitant of the town was to
be seen in the streets, and every door was closed. How-
ever, the Portuguese anger was still unappeased, and in
spite of every effort on the part of the officers the soldiers
attacked several guard-houses and balconies with stones ;
however, no more blood was spilt- during that day.
" On the following morning the Spanish military autho-
rities formed pickets, compose of Spanish and Portuguese
soldiers, and by this means they succeeded in gradually
allaying the general excitement ; although, in the course of
the evening, one of these pickets was attacked by a number
of the peasantry, who pursued !nem from San Lazaro to
the Feria gate. The soldiers had the good sense not to
return the shower of stones by a discharge of musketry, and
no .one was wounded, with the exception of a peasant, who
approached too close to the patrol.
" On the 28th everything was tranquil, and no further
disturbance of any consequence took place."

PARIS, DEC. 13.—Some accounts have been received at
Marseilles, respecting the transports fitted out in the Sar-
dinian States on account of Don Carlos, the departures of
which had been already announced. It seems that these
vessels, instead of steering direct for Catalonia, kept close
to the French coast, and thus escaped the vigilance of our
cruisers. But when they arrived on the borders of Rous-
sillon, westerly winds drove them out to sea, and they
doubled, with difficulty, first Cape St. Sebastian, and then
Cape Creus. The coast-guard lost sight of them, and it is
believed that they have made the land between Cape Creus
and Cuvera, to the north of Roses. Neither the troops
nor the militia have yet penetrated into that district, where
smuggling is generally carried on without check, and whence
the arms and ammunition that may have been landed n ca
be sent to the Carlists without quitting the mountains.

Accounts from Genoa to the 3d of this month have been
received at Toulon. The mail,from Sardinia had at length
arrived, but brought no details. It was generally believed
that the Government had seized the letters which men-
tioned the events that have lately occurred in that island,
for the papers from which I have those particulars continue
to speak of the insurrection, and there is every reason to
believe that a popular insurrection has taken place at Cag-
liari. Now, has this insurrection been quelled ? This was
net known at Genoa on the 3d of December. The naval
armaments are proceeding with activity ; detachments of
seamen are daily arriving in that city ; and the armaments
were not confined to the squadron actually at Genoa. All
the vessels capable of serving, which are in the other ports
of the kingdom, are likewise being armed. Charles Albert
is either quite mad, or he has behind him the great Dons
of the North.—Messager, Dec. 13.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

New York Papers to the 22d of November, Quebec to the
15th, Montreal to the 18th, and Jamaica to the 7th, hare
been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house this looming.
The New York papers arc quite silent respecting their af-
fairs with France, and contain little information. They men-
tion that volunteers for Texas are going to New Orleans,
from every quarter.

• From Mai•anham it is stated that the Indians are gradually
obtaining possession of the whole province of Maranham ; and
they were spreading themselves over the whole States, the
whites everywhere giving way before them.

VALPARAISO, AUG. 19.—Everything here is remarkably
still, and holds fair to continue so for twelve months. The
markets are completely overstocked.
Onio AND MJCHRGAN BOUNDARY LINE.—" We apprize
our readers of the termination of the unhappy controversy
which has been so long pending."
The Jamaica Papers state that the House of Assembly will
nieet on the 1011 inst. " How the meeting will be conducted,"
say they, " between the Members and the Governor, we can-
not say, after the avowal and flat denial which passed between
them in the late Session. We refrain from saying any thing
more on the subject."
Another slaver was captured, having on board 201 slaves.
During the chase her guns, and all heavy articles, were thrown
overboard.

Another Jamaica Paper says :—" His Excellency the Go-
vernor has issued a Proclamation, calling the New Assembly
to meet, and proceed to business, on Tuesday, the 10th day of
November, when, we venture to state, he will open the Session
with a very conciliatory speech."
The Montreal Papers state, that Mr. O'Callaghan reported
the following answer to the Address of the 2d inst., relating
to Justice Gale :--" Gentlemen,—l request you to acquaint
the House of Assembly, that I have not received any instruc-
tions from his MajeAy's Ministers, on the subject of the com-
plaint of the ilcuse stated in the Address, and that I shall
cause to be conveyed to the House without delay copies of
all such communications and dispatches asked for in the
Address, as are within my reach, relating to the norm-
nation of Samuel Gale, Esq., to be one of the Judges of the
Court of 'King's Bench."
The Quebec Papers say :-4, In the Legislative Council on
Wednesday evening, the Protest of Messrs. Feltin,
and Moslin, was expunged from the Journals. The Legisla-
tive Council yesterday threw out the Agents' Bill.
" The snow which fell on Wednesday night and Thursday,
has been succeeded by cold weather, and according to all
appearance winter has set in."

Conuoli for the Account, 91}

The rapid suecession of first-rate works of merit
that have lately issued from the firm of Messrs. Saunders
and Otley, would incline us to pronounce this to be the
Augustan age of literature. From Mr. Bulwer we have
" Rienzi the Last of the Tribunes." From the indefatigable
and original pen of Captain Marryat, we have the humorous
" Tales of a Pacha," and that universal favourite of all
classes, " Jacob Faithful," and to crown all, that exquisitely
conceived production, " Japhet in search of a Father"---to
say .nothing of Miss Landon's " Vow of the Peacock " and
Grattan's forcibly written novel of " Agnes de Mansfeldt,"
cum multis aids. If the world does not rapidly improve in
literary taste, it is not for the want of good authors or libe-
ral publishers.
A ludicrous compliment to the all-powerful nature
of the Reform interest in this borough, is found in the fact
that a Tory corporator, high in office, has actually been
canvassing among the gentlemen whom the Reformers have
determined on supporting for an office of slight pecuniary
emolument in the gift of the new Town Council !—Kendal
Mercury.

SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.—The newspapers of
the week have been misled by conjectures about the scien-
tific expeditions now about to sail. There are two sepa-
rate services on the eve of being proceeded with. First,
that under the able and enterprising Captain Beechey, who
goes in the command of the Sulphur, accompanied by the
Starling, Lieutenant Kellett (one of the associates of Cap-
tain Owen) to extend his geographical researches in the
Pacific, whose islands he has already explored, and to con-
tinue his survey of the coasts of North and South America
in that direction. The other expedition is placed under
the controul of Captain Vidal, also one of Owen's gallant
associates, and highly esteemed for the ability he displayed
in surveying and laying down charts of the Irish coast. The
Etna and the Raven are the ves4els employed on this occa-
sion, and the duty is to survey, and map the west coast
of Africa, between Sierra Leone and Fernando Po.—Li-
terary Gazette,
