LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1835.

The late Dublin Procession was again brought be-
fore the House of Lords last night by Earl RODEN,
in a speech of the most ludicrous solemnity, which will
wear a still more ridiculous aspect in the eyes of our
readers, when it is borne in mind that the Noble Lord
who now professes to be so panic-stricken at the idea
of an Irish procession, is himself, and has been for
years, one of the heads of that party, whose proces-
sions from the days of King WILLIAM downwards,
have done more to demoralize Ireland, than all the
Rapparees and Rdckites that ever robbed—ravished---
or cut a throat. An Orange leader complaining of an
Irish procession 1 Why, there has not been such a
charge made, since that memorable one which, as our
nursery legends assure us, the Pot once brought
against the Kettle I It is as preposterous as that which
the Opposition laid before the Court of Lilliput,—
namely that the party in office, had been seen to break
their eggs at the small end.
Before the Noble Earl ventured to introduce such a

subject, he should have bethought him of the coifing
anniversaries of July. He should have borne in mind
the flags exhibited—the mottos paraded—the toasts
drank—the speeches hiccupped—on those occasions ;
and having so refreshed his memory, he should have
come forward, not to blame, but to commend a proces-
sion, which in its moderate, good-tempered, and in-
offensive character, presented such a striking contrast
to those of his own party.
But to what, after all, does the Noble Earl's charge.
amount ? Simply to this, that on the occasion of
Lord. MULGRAVE'S public entry into Dublin, a {ea
poles with green flags, and mottos on them—not qui°
so orthodox as an Orangeman could desire—were Pa"
raded in the procession. And this is the mole-hill to
which he directs their Lordships' attention as a maw

cannot prove that there was the slightest disorde--
the slightest attempt to trespass beyond the limits of tly'
law, or bring the KING'S Government into contempt ;*".
the very utmost he can prove is, that the people,
their enthusiasm for a liberal Lord Lieutenant, ch°
not altogether lose sight of their old favourite O'COY
NELL, or that obnoxious impost—Tithes., And -44 Y
should they ? What law forbids them to eg'ccie
" O'Connell for ever I" from their flags ; or &scar

the motto " No Tithes ?"
Lord MELBOURNE well disposed of this portion tn°f
the Orange grievance. " Much," he observed, " 851;8,
should lament the use of those symbols, he great}
doubted whether the carrying of such banners, Prit;
vided that they were carried on a legal occasion, tc°ll,.s
bring them within the purview of the law." If tjil
be not sufficient answer for Earl RODEN, dOlibtle•CS'
he will be satisfied with the fact, that it was his el
party that, not five months since, taught the Reforieeriir
how to act on these occasions I When the late 14° I

aware, till too late, of this circumstance. How then*;
it to be expected that in a mixed multitude,- a; lea
twenty times as numerous, the Earl of MULG`t,
should have been able to take cognizance of ever)
flag that appeared in his procession ? If the gia
logy is to be accepted in the one case, surely it sheer ° !
be accepted with twice as much readiness in the ethbi;
But, after all, it is of little moment whether the 14%
Earl knew, or knew not, what banners were carried' I,:
the occasion referred to. The sole question to be Pas
sidered is, whether the carrying of such bawler'
legal, and this Lord MELBOURNE has decided in t 9
affirmative. Here, then, to all intents and pure
the matter must rest. coll'
Finding themselves foiled in this grievance, the
servatives had recourse to another exercise of r° of
nuity ; and endeavoured to entrap the Marge's of
WELLESLEY into a confession that his resiguatiol3osl
the Lord Chamberlainship,was occasioned by his dig to
at seeing the government of Ireland handed everheit
O'CONNELL. But here too, they took nothing by tiocl
motion. The Noble Marquis declared, his resignati'n teJ,
nothing-to with the late Irish appointments ; and st3h•ps
with much emphasis, that he "hoped their Lord tea
would not beled away by the notion that it was couyee of
with anything which happened upon the entra9c 3,
the Earl of MULGRAVE into Dublin." This deci
ration must be gall and vormwood to the Cons the
tives, for they had evidently expected, through ,
agency of Lord WELLESLEY, to be able to pla'it e
thorn in the side of Ministers. But their efrorts 1110,
only recoiled upon themselves. They are " 'bie
their own petard." Not a single hint hay, the
Marquis let fall of his dissatisfaction with the
red it
terial appointments in Ireland ; and if he have I'o'l°4

Pit ex (1•10 interference from withoutl Let the peo-

I.lll3lellit---it is inherent in them." But Spain has

decided the questions She has sworn allegiance to
the Qt'EtlsZ, to the exclusion for ever of DON CA TILO6

and his heirs. Foreign interference, in behalf of the
QUEEN and the Government, can therefore be no
longer considered in the light of an attempt to
dictate to the people. Spain has already re-
corded her judgment as far as regards the principle ';
and other power than that of the mind of a nation—
other authority than that derived from the suffrages of
the people—we do not and cannot acknowledge. The
time when mere physical force was sufficient to esta
blish, or rather to rescind a right, is happily no more ;
therefore, supposing that DON CARLOS was to suc-
ceed, by superior Generalship, in seizing upon Madrid,
and capturing every member of the Constitutional
Government, .we should be just as ready to denounce
him as a rebel and a traitor, as we are at this moment.
This is putting an extreme case—a case which never
will, and never can occur, if the Great Northern
Powers do not interfere in the contest. Spain ought
instantly to call for the fulfilment of the quadruple
treaty, in order, if possible, to save the prodigal effu-
sion of Spanish blood. Foreign interference is no
longer dictation—it is mercy to the unhappy peasantry,
whose lives are sacrificed to glut the fury of a dis-
organized soldiery, and to sate the ambitious cravings
of a rebel to his QUEEN and country.

The Paris Journals of Thursday contain some very
satisfactory accounts from Madrid, bearing date the
14th instant—the date of the arrivals in London, of
which we gave an abstract in The Sun of yesterday.
The Journal des Debats—the great organ of M.
THIERS and his party—embodies the subject of its
dispatches, and the impression which these accounts
have made on the French Ministry, in the following
important article. We ought first to observe that it is
written with reference to the attack made upon MAR-
TINEZ DE LA ROSA, when quitting the Chamber of
Procuradores on the 11th, after having been defeated
on the question of the treaty between VALDEZ and
ZUMALACARREGui—which attack appears to have
been wonderfully exaggerated in all the reports yet
published :
" The address voted by the Chainber of Proceres, the in-
terference of several honourable citizens, and the measures
taken by the authorities for the repression of the agitators
prove that the Cabinet of Madrid has derived additional force
from the event of the 11th. The fears entertained for some
days respecting the fate of the Ministry and of the Spanish
Government itself, were exaggerated ; and it was of course very
prematurely supposed to be reduced to the necessity of calling
for foreign aid. Let us not overate the actual critical situa-
tion of affairs, and consider the incontestible check expe-
rienced by Valdez as a total defeat ; the five-sixths of Spain,
it must be recollected, are tranquil and calm. Every where,
except in a corner of that fine country, the laws of the Consti-
tutional Government are well received and respected. There
is to be sure some agitation in several of the large cities; but
that agitation has not heretofore manifested itself by any of
those overt and serious explosions we have witnessed in our
o.vn country. Spain has a more numerous army than that of
the rebels, her finances are recovering, and Don Carlos is with-
out money ; our advices from the country do not besides be-
speak a Government on the brink of destruction, if left with-
out assistance. There is still much force in Constitutional
Spain ; the old Castilian pride and honour are now as much
alive as ever. With such resources, a country needs no aid
from abroad ; it finds it within itself, and on its own territory.
It is quite clear from the above, that France will
postpone the fulfilment of the treaty to the last
hour. Her reasons for so doing are stated to
be the vast resources of the Spanish Government,
and the justice of the QUEEN'S cause. Now that, so
far from being a reason for non-interference, is pre-
cisely the ground upon which we insist upon it. Were
the question of the QUEEN'S right doubtful, and
were the country not in a condition to suffer injury
from the presence of marauding armies, we should
never think of interfering. But when we are previously
convinced that the QUEEN'S cause is the cause of
justice and humanity, we feel that it is our duty to
espouse it actively, whe❑ by so doing we can prevent
the slaughter of thousands of our unoffending fellow-
creatures.

Mr. CHILDs's case did not come on last night.
As the day for which the notice of motion was
given passed without the motion being made—
owing to Lord JOHN RussELL's not having taken
his seat—it is uncertain when the discussion may
come on. In the mean time the cry against Church
rates and ecclesiastical oppression is re-echoed from
every part of the country.
We refer our readers to a letter signed ZENAS, for
some interesting particulars respecting the sale of
goods seized for Church rate, and sold at Bungay.
The man who bought them was actually-proscribed by
his townsmen, until he restored them, and made a pub-
lic apology ! Such signs of the times ought not to be
disregarded.

We have received German Papers of the latest
dates. They state that Nassau has joined, or is pre-
paring to join, the German Commercial Union.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Isabella has arrived at Liverpool, bringing. letters and
papers from Demerara to the 19th of April. The conduct of
the Governor and his stipendiaries is still the subject of much
unpleasant discussion. The refractory spirit of the appren-
tices bad been curbed by forcible means on some plantations,
and affairs, speaking by recent comparison, look more favour-
ably.
A report prevailed at Paris that orders had been sent to
Toulon for a naval force, to sail for the coast of Catalonia.
The Bayonne letters state that Zumalacarregui, at the head
of all his forces, had marched in Vittoria, and that important
events may be enpected.
The ruinous gambling transactions which have been carried
on for some days past, in the Foreign Market, by creating
false alarms in respect to the dangerous state of Spain, and
by which hundreds of persons who bare speculated in Spani-li
Securities will be ruined, has caused a general excitement in
the City, and in the Stock Exchange.
This morning the brokers are afraid to do any further bu-
siness for their employers, until the Account is settled.
The news this morning from Madrid, does not appear of that
black cast as was stated. A correspondent of a morning
Journal says, that Don Carlos can do nothing without the
Queen's troops go over to him ; also that the events which
took place at Madrid have beer, exaggerated. Thus we arc
deceived from one day to another with contradictory statements
for sinister purposes.

THE FUNDS.

Another most extraordinary panic prevailed during the whole
of yesterday in the Foreign Market; and had it not been !or
the operations of the great City capitalist, who purchased
Spanish to the amount of two or three hundred thousand, the
market would have experienced a further decline. At one
period the above Stock receded to 49, but closed at 52.
This morning the panic is beginning to subside, and the
market is improving. Spanish Bonds opened 2 per cent.
higher. The following are the quotations of the Foreign
Stocks :—Chilian, 501; Columbian, 40 41 ; Spanish Bonds,
521 53 ; Spanish Scrip, 4 to sy discount; Portuguese, 971;
3 per Cents. 661 ; Mexican, 41 42.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 911 I for the account,
opened this morning at 911 ; little doing, the chief attention
of the speculators being to the Foreign Market.
Our arrivals this morning are only one French mail, one
Hamburgh, with very few ship letters, most of old dates.
The express from Paris brings the prices 5 per Cents. at
105 40 ; Three per Cents, 51 65 ; Cortes Bonds, 471; Cou-
pons, 261; Differes, 20k.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols have continued steady during the morning at 911
for the Account, and 91,-i for money, with little doing. Ex-
chequer Bills, 23 26 ; India Bonds, 5 7; Bank Stock, 2121 ;
India Stock, 256.

The Foreign Market still continues heavy. At one period
in the morning they appeared to be rallying, and got up to
53 54, which puce was not long maintained, and they receded
again to Ali 52.
The report at the West End is that Zumalacarregui is in
possession of Vittoria. We must wait for further information
from Spain before we can credit the above account, as it comes
from the Carlist party.

MARYLEBONE PARISH.—The election for vestry-
men in St. Marylebone terminated last night at ten o'clock,
with a majority of 1,087 on the part of the Parochial Com-
mittee over the Conservative or Association List, being the
fourth year of the election terminating in favour of the same
party.
