I?,st allay years have, at different
periods, engaged the attention of the Legislature 2 arc
well known—they were not hastily formed, but were
the result of mature deliberation I and I ddoptf:d them
because-, tel niy they *ere hi ilitistin rr itli the
prineiM lin Which the ilritish Constitution is founded

—a Constitution which I have been taught to revere
as beautiful in theory, and which, I felt assured, was
capable of being reduced to a correspondent symmetry
in practice." In the concluding lines of the abac
sentence, the MIKE ot. SUSSEX has given a happy
definition of Constitutional Reform ; for what is it
that the Reformers arc so anxious to obtain--to
what have their destructive (I) efforts been directed,
but to produce in that constitution which is " so
beautiful in theory, a corresponding symmetry in prac-

ce ?''

The impolicy and injustice of continuing those re-
strictions on conscience, of which the Test and Cur-

poration Acts are a fair specimen, do not escape his
Royal Highness's just reprehension. Never was this
illiberal and anti-social spirit of legislation leproved with
more truth, dignity, or effect, than in the following pas-
sage:--"Gentlemen--for wise purposes, as they no doubt
imagined—and under the extraordinary circumstances
of that period, they might possibly have been justi-
fied in what they did—the Statesmen of the seventeenth
century enacted certain penal laws, and laid severe res-
trictions upon the liberty of conscience in this coun-
try ; but was it to be supposed that a statute of disa-
bilities should remain in force when the necessity
which had occasioned its enactment no longer ex-

fisted ? Such, however, unhappily was the case, and
men, I grieve to say, were found, who, in defiance of

,hat more generous spirit of liberal and improved

thinkittg) which was and is diffusing itself around, had
power sufficient to maintain the narrow views, and to
continue the ancient prejudices, of times long past and
gone. Happily for us, Gentlemen, we have lived to
see the extinction of most of these anti-social, and, I
may truly add, anti-Christian notions—their extinc-
tion, I mean, as far as can affect the government of
this great country."
We trust the hereditary Legislators who have placed
themselves in hostility to " that generous spirit of
liberal thinking," which, the Royal Duke so truly
remarks is diffusing itself around, will read and in•
wardly digest this admirable letter.

The whole of the French Papers of Thursday have
been received. It will be seen by the extracts from
them, which will be found in another part of The Sun
that they bring no additional news from Spain, with
the exception of a report of the Carlists having been
again defeated with great loss.
PARIS, OCT. I.—lt was reported on 'Change that news
from Madrid of the 24th had been received, and that they
were of a more favourable nature than those of the preced-
ing day ; but as it was only said that Las Navas had arrived
at Madrid with his Andalusians, and that the garrison of
Madrid had set out for the north, it is difficult to under-
stand how this news can have caused a rise in the Funds.
We have a rise however, and a very decided rise in our
Funds, for they have gained more than tfiey lost yesterday.
As for Spanish Stock, which was at first offered, it was in
great demand at the end of the Exchange business. We
have not seen letters from Madrid of the 24th, and only
state what was reported.
The Courrier du Midi, under the head of " Frontiers of
Catalonia, Sept. 29," has the following particulars :
The Carlist battalions, which penetrated into Catalonia,
have been defeated by part of the foreign legion near Urgil ;
they could not make any stand against soldiers who had
served in Africa. Besides they are without resources, had
no bread, and met with no sympathy in: the Catalonians,
who are swayed by passions opposed to those of the
Carlists. Accordingly the soldiers of the Carlist expedition
desert in great numbers, and surrender in bands of
fifteen or twenty to the Queen's authorities, who
disarm them. The partisans of Don Carlos must
certainly be surprised that most of the bands which infest
Catalonia, looked with an evil eye at the attempt which has
failed. The Guerilla chiefs like to act alone at their own
discretion. They plunder and rob in the name of Don
Carlos ; but will never submit to the shackles of discipline
which would check them in predatory habits.
P.S.—The 2d and 17th regiments of Light Infantry, and
the 11th of the line, which were destined for Oran, have re-
ceived counter orders. The 11th remains at Toulouse.
It is thought that the affairs of Spain are the cause of this
determination ; though it is also ascribed to the cholera at
Algiers.—Messager, Oct. 1.

THE, FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The advices by the French mail are barren of politica'
news. The advices from Spain do not contain any news of

interest.

The Hamburg mail has just arrived. The Funds in that
city remain steady. The Metalliques at 1021, and Bank
Shares at 1,332.
The dates from Vienna are to the 23d of last month. The
price of the Metalliques at that time was 102 k, and Bank
Shares 1326.

We have no Colonial arrivals to-day.
This being the White Fast of the Jews, there are none
of the speculators in the funds, of that persuasion, to be
seen in the City. There is, consequently, but little specu-
lative business in the funds, either foreign or domestic, but
the quotations have rather advanced.
Consols for the Account opened this morning at 904,
aid have not fluctuated beyond per cent. up to the pre-
sent hour. Exchequer Bills are at 12, and Indian Bonds at
3 premium. Bank Stock is nominally at 212, and Indian
Stock at 254.

In the Foreign Stock Market there is an absence of ex-
tensive business. Spanish Bonds opened at 42, and the
Scrip at 18} discount, and up to mid-day there was no ma-
terial variation ; the present price being 18 for the Scrip,
and 421- for the Bonds. Portuguese Bonds arc at 87} 88
for the Five per Cents., and at 574 for the Three per
Cents. In the South American and other Bonds, there is
nothing worthy notice.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have no arrivals, and the Funds continua steady.
Consols for the Account at 90i ; and the Omnium of
the New Loan at 3:1 -7( prem. Exchequer Bills are 13 to
15 prem ; and Indian Bonds at 2 prem. Bank Stock has
been done at 212 for the opening.

In the Foreign Market the quotations have improved.
Spanish Stock is at 4 ; Portuguese at 87i ; and the
Three per Cents. at 571. There is scarcely any demand
for the South American Bonds.

LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SHOW AND DIN-
NER.—On Thursday, about noon, the Liverpool Annual
Agricultural Show took place in the yard of the old infir-
mary. The show of cattle, though good, was hardly equal
in number or appearance to the display made in former
years. In the evening about 700 gentlemen sat down to
dinner in the large rJom at Lucas's Repository. The
room was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Five large
tables, extending the whole length of the apartment, each
table capable of accommodating, 120 individuals, presented
I a very imposing appearance. The Right Hon. Lord Stan-
ley presided as Chairman, supported on his right by the
Mayor of Liverpool, and on his left by J. J. Blackburn,
M. P. fo,- Warrington ; J. W. Patten, Esq., M. P. ; Mr.
gale from the S, ah,

FINE ARTS.

THE, DESTROYING
.ANGEL.

This is aribther bf Mr: Maftin'S
ductions, and quite as impresgiVe as an.), that lie his
yet put Tutu. Jndecd as respects the management of
his light and shade, we know not that, even in his
belsh*rar's Feast;" of his " tall d Nineveh," he
has exhibited a more startling power. the
long, horizontal gleams of intense lightning radiance
that back the majestic city, with its interminable
ranges of columns, absolutely dazzle the spectator's
dyes, Yet the effect; however surprising, cati gediedly
be called natural i bait Mr: Martin rarely allows nature
to stand in the way of his conceptinj. lrii the lan-
guage of the theatre, to " make a hit" is the one para-
mount object of his ambition ; and unquestionably he
has Sueteeded iii the tt Destioyhig A tigel." Ills vast
groupes are, as usual, managed with exquisite skill :
Indeed he is the only artist of his day, and few even of
tha past have here excelled him, who can give sublimity
to an indiscriminate mob. The figure of the angel is
very judiciously half-shrouded in darkness ; but what
is visible, conveys the idea of irresistible power and
grandeur. The engraving would frame better than any
of Mr. Martin's previous efforts.

THE MAGAZINES-CONTINUED.

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

In an article entitled " O'Connell's Mission," Tait
gives by far the most correct and animated account of
the stirring scenes which have lately taken place at
Edinburgh and Glasgow, that we have yet met with.
His Report, too, of certain striking passages in the
Agitator's speeches, bear, from their vivacity and rich-
ness of colouring, the most unquestionable proofs of
authenticity. But the most interesting portion of his
article, is that wherein he speaks of the personal ap-
pearance and manners of O'Connell, and the conci-
liatory effect they produced even on the minds of those
who were previously most averse to him, both as a man
and a politician.
" His actual appearance," says the writer, " has dispelled
much delusion, and removed many ridiculous prepossessions.
There is some truth as well as point in the joke of one of
our newspapers, that the Edinburgh children—who, until they
shall be old men, will retain a pleased recollection of his
manly, good-humoured, and handsome Hibernian countenance
--were at first rather astonished to find that the Agitator had,
efter all, no tail."

This
n naive anecdote about the tail is capital. In the
" Confidential Letters" of certain lords, an attempt is
made to imitate the buoyant, sparkling style of Moore's
squibs, but without success, though the poem is by
no means deficient in nerve. " Sam Pogson's Game-
cock," is a story told with infinite breadth of humour.
He who can resist it, would look grave even at
Newcastle in a passion. We suppose we are indebted
to Leigh Hunt for the subtle and eloquent analysis of
the late Dr. Thomas Brown's intellectual character.
At any rate it is worthy, of that accomplished writer.
The Beggar's Wallet" is scarcely so good this
month as we remember it to have been. The " An-
glo-Indian Society" is an able notice of Miss Ro-
berts's " Scenes and Characteristics of Hindostan."
