SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Ist instant have arrived.
The Spanish Chamber of Deputies held a sitting on
the Ist. Several Bills of local interest were presented
by the Government. The Chamber then elected a
provisional bureau—M. LOUIS MAYENS was chosen
President by 148 votes, M. GONZALEZ ROMERO,
Count DE VISTAHERMOSA, M. VAHEY, and M. ZARA-
GOZA, Vice-Presidents. The Chamber afterwards no-
minated committees to examine the electoral returns.
All these committees consist of Ministerialists. The
Chamber, it was believed, would be definitively con-
stituted in less than a fortnight. The Epoca notices
that no mention is made in the speech from the
Throne of the tariff question, and assumes that the
Cabinet does not intend to present any measure of
importance on the matter this session. The Monte-
molinist journal, the Esporanza, was seized on the
31st ult. by order of the political chief. It was
rumoured that the Portuguese Government had
solicited the good offices of Spain in the questions
pending between it and England; several conferences
on the subject had taken place between the Minister
of Foreign Affairs and the English Ambassador.
The Princess CLEMENTINE, daughter of Louis
PHILIPPE, was expected at Seville on the 4th or sth,
on a visit to the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER.
In consequence of the Ist being All Saints' Day,
the Bolsa was closed.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1850.

In another portion of our journal will be found a
document than which one of more vital importance
has not, perhaps, issued from the press since
the memorable protest of the Bishops in
1688. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Prime Minis-
ter of the Queen of ENGLAND, the des-
cendant of an illustrious house, the members of
which at all times and under all circumstances
have upheld the principles of civil and re-
ligious liberty against despotism of every descrip-
tion, whether sacerdotal or temporal, has
come forward and protested against the
recent Papal aggressions on the rights and pre-
rogatives of his SOVEREIGN, in language worthy
of that RUSSELL who perished on the scaffold,
a martyr to the sacred cause which has ever
been upheld so well and so worthily by his
descendant. In his letter to the Bishop of Dimness
Lord JOHN RUSSELL at once disposes of the flimsy
and fraudulent arguments of those who pretend that
the recent proceedings of the POPE are precisely analo-
gous to the division of Scotland into dioceses by the
Episcopal Church, or the arrangement of districts in
England by the Wesleyan Conference.
" It is impossible." says my Lord John Russell, " to con-
found the recent measures of the Pope with the division
of Scotland into dioceses by the Episcopal Church, or
the arrangement of districts in England by the Wesleyan
Conference.

" There is an assumption cf power in all the docu-
ments which bare come from Rome—a pretension to
supremacy over the realm of England, and a claim
to sole and undivided sway, which is inconsistent with
the Queen's supremacy, with the rights of our bishops
and clergy, and with the spiritual independence of the
nation, as asserted even in Roman Catholic times."
That such is the view taken of the question
by the Romanists themselves, that the
recent Bull was meant not only as an insult but as
an absolute claim to supremacy and undivided sway
in this realm of England, a claim which will involve
all these who admit it in the guilt of some-
thing very like high treason, is abundantly
evident from the statements put forward by the Court
of Roma in its organs of the continental press.
The Paris journal, the Univers, is the acknowledged
organ of the Ultramontane party and the
Jesuits, and its leading articles on matters
relating to the Church of [Rome, are
in general arranged in the secret Jesuit conclave at
Rome and sent to Paris for publication. It is there-
fore to be considered as the official organ of the
Papacy, and in the Univers of the 3d November, we
find an article on the subject of this said bull which
commences in these words :

" Clamours still resound on the banks of the Thames.
The ardour of the controversy redoubles. Endless
commentaries are made on the terms of the oath ad-

COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE.

The paper on the military tribes of Central Asia,
which appears in the United Service for the present
month, treats of matters of the very highest political
importance. The writer, who is evieently well
acquainted with his subject, exposes the intrigues of
Russia, followed up now perseveringly for more than
a century, to obtain, by force or fraud, dominion over
the military tribes of Central Asia, for the purpose of
opening for herself a route to India, the Sovereigns
of Russia looking to Calcutta for a repayment of
these advances. At the present 'day Asia swarms
with Russian emissaries—they were in AffghanLitan
and in Sinde, exciting the people to destroy the
British, they are in the Punjaub and in India. The
military tribes of Central Asia abhor the Russians, and
by extending our frontier to the Hindoo Koosh we
should come in immediate contact with those
tribes who are disposed to be friends and
allies of the British. Already have we
advanced our frontier to the Khyber Pass, our safety
requires that we should have the command of that
pass and of Affghanistan ; we have twice conquered
that country, and but for faults the most glaring
should have held it. The Punjaub and Sinde are
now oars, and we therefore have that which we had
not at the time of Elphiostone's disastrous retreat
from Caubul, a basis for our military operations in
Affghanistan, and the means of keeping open our
communications; and while our possession of Caubul,
K4ndahar, and Herat would open to us the markets of
Central Asia, we should obtain recruits for our Indian
army from the hardy military tribes whieh inhabit
that vast region, and whose hatred of Russia is in-
tense. Such is the policy advocated by the writer
of this paper, a policy well worthy the consideration
of those to whom are confided the future destinies of
our Indian empire. The opening paper of the United
Service recommends the institution of a British Le-
gion of Honour, and we certainly concur in the re-
commendation ; we would have no distinction in the
order. Those wbo had won it, whether privates or
officers, should be alike decorated with the simple
iron cross as recommended by this writer, and we
would add, that every member of the legion should
ipso facto be enfranchised, and entitled to vote in
Parliamentary elections in any borough or county in
which he might chance to reside, on merely register-
ing himself, without being subjected to the operation
of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act, as
other voters are. There are several professional
papers of a high order of merit in the United Service
Magazine for November.

TAIT'S.

Tail's opens with a very interesting article,
" Notes of a Traveller." occasioned by Mr. Laing's
" Observations on the Social and Political State of the
European People, in 1848 and 1849." The principal
subject of this article is the somewhat complicated
question of the law of primogeniture, versus territo-
rial division. The ill effects of peasant proprietor-
ship, and the minute division of land, when carried
to an extreme, are contrasted with the good results
of the system, in a prima facie view. From a table
of figures, given in the course of these observations,
it is shown that in England forty per cent. of the
revenue is raised by Customs duties ; in Prussia,
twenty per cent. ; and in France, twelve. Equally
worthy of consideration is the concluding article
of Tait's, " Colds and Cold Water." In a smart
and lively strain the writer laments the depressing
influence of cold, bewailing the many great works
and noble actions prevented or marred by the evil
agency of " a cold ;" as the best preservative against
which " cold water" is commended, a simple, in-
expensive, and easily attainable remedy. An interest-
ing story, " Sinners and Sufferers," commences in
this number.

THE CATHOLIC.
After an interesting chapter on the "Religion of.

Byron," in which the justice of Sir Walter Scott's
remark about the great poet—" I thought he would
end by becoming a Catholic"—is argued by the con-
tributor, we have a continuation of •' Martha Baliol's
Diary," and the completion of the " Recollections of
Bishop Baines." In the last-mentioned article we
find the subjoined statement, one which will be read
with curiosity by the almost numberless admirers of
the author of the "Irish Melodies :"

—" One assurance which Dr. Baines gives me at this
time must be interesting to very many. We were speak-
ing of Tom Moore, the poet, whom all the world may
not know to have been born and bred a Catholic; but
some of whose publications all the world unfortunately
does know to be inconsistent with the dictates of religion:
Ob, he is a good boy now,' exclaimed the Bishop
in reply to some observation of mine; • he is a good boy
now: I have been with him, and he is all right'—giving
me to understand that he bad fulfilled his religious du-
ties by confession and holy communion. This assurance
may be a comfort to many who lament over his present
sad bereavement and inability to atone for the past."

The •` Verses for the Month" are taken from a vo-
lume of Church hymns, rendered into English by
Mr. Beste. The fc.,:c ign correspondeLce in ibis num-
ber of the Catholic Magazine and Register will be
found more than usually attractive, containing a great
variety of documents relating to the late appointment
of the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster.

LIBERALITY OF A JEW.

At the sale of the valuable collection of the late
Mr. C. Mainwaring, of Coleby, Lincoln, which has
already extended over nineteen days, a series of lots,
ten in number, were catalogued for sale, and headed
ns having been intended for Hackthorne Church ,

they consisted of an altar table, of Spanish mahogany,
elaborately carved, two splendid chairs, devotional
stools, &c., and cost the late proprietor nigh 3001.
The surprise of the public was great that these lots
should be offered for sale, the intention of Mr. Main-
waring bTing so well known, and the name of the
parish carved upon part of the furniture ; but the in-
tended donor dying intestate, his executors ordered
the sale of all his effects without reserve. A lesson
was, however, taught them on Thursday, by Mr. Ben-
jamin Benjamins, a Jew broker of London. On lot
3,122 being put up, Mr. Benjamins addressed the
auctioneer, and said the lot now put up, together
with the nine following ones, were intended by the
late Mr. Moinwaring as a present to Hackthorne
Church, and he regretted, as he believed every one
in that room did, that the articles had not been
presented to the church, instead of being offered
for sale that day. He, therefore, now begged to say
that it was his intention to buy the whole, and pre-
sent them himself to the Christian temple or Church
at ilecktborne, and he, therefore, asked the auc-

tioneer to put up the ten lots in one. This proposal
was received with much applause by the company,
upon whom it came quite unexpectedly, Mr. Legh,
one of the co-heirs, begging to be allowed to join Mr.
Benjamins in his very handsome offer. The auction-
eer, finding the company not averse to the proposal,
put up the ten lots in one, and called on Mr. Benja-
mins to name his bidding. Mr. Benjamins then offered
101. for the whole, at which nominal sum the auction-
eer paused, and said that it was out of character;
but Mr. Benjamins replied that he had offered quite
'hough, for that the articles ought never 01 have been
in the catalogue, and that it was discreditable to the
parties who had permitted it, and he was sure that
neither Christian nor Jew would oppose him, and that
the auctioneer might knock the lot down to him as
soon as he liked. This the auctioneer found was the
case, and the hammer went down amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Benjamin immediately handed over the order for
their delivery to the vicar of the parish, and thus a
Jew presented to a Christian Church articles that
other vvise would have produced a sum little short of
2001.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
It is announced that the Government has received
a telegraph dispatch from Lille of the sth, stating •
that General LABITTE had received a sufficient num-
ber of voters to secure his return for the department
of the Nord. There was no other candidate ; the Re-
publicans abstained from taking any part in the
election.
The Lyons plot is, as we suspected, a got up affair
by the police ; the " sham" is completely exposed in
the National of yesterday.
The Petrie announces that the message of the PRE-
SIDENT has been communicated to the Ministers in
Council. It contains no allusion to a prolongation of
the Presidential power.
Several laws have been submitted to the Council of
State ; on this subject we find the following in the
Opinione Publique :
" If our information be exact, the ensemble of the mu-
nicipal and departmental law has been voted a first time
by the Council of State. The clauses which conferred
the nomination of municipal magistrates on the Execu-
tive Government and the indication of the candidates to
the municipal council, has been rejected by a small ma-
jority. On the other hand, the Council of State has de-
cided that the dismissal of these magistrates shall con-
tinue to take place only in virtue of a decision of the
Council of State. The Minister of the Interior in vain
attempted to combat this disposition, and to cause the
dismissal and nomination of mayors to be attributed to
the Government. Our readers see that even in the
Council of State, which is composed in great part of the
supporters of centralization, the necessity of giving, in
a certain measure, guarantees to the independence
of the municipalities has been perceived. For a
stronger reason, the cause of municipal liberty should
prevail in the Legislative Assembly, whicb, by
its origin, is called on to appreciate the interests Lf
every kind which are connected with the abolition of the
regime, which M. Guizot in one of his last works, 'De
la Demecratie en France,' has rightly called the eove
reignty of centralization.' The remarkable language
which bI. Guizot employs, when speaking of this matter,
seems to us to indicate the most powerful motive which
tells in favour of municipal liberty, and particularly in
favour of the action of the municipalities in the choice
of mayors. It is clear that for municipal officers to
possess the moral ascendancy which they need, espe-
cially in these times, they must derive their force from
the confidence of the populations who surround them. If
they are the men of the central government, they could
do nothing for the Government in case of a revolution r.t
Paris, for they would be conquered, and cast out with it
by that revolution."

A. rather poor drama, acted at Turin, called The
Siege of
Alessandria, and representing scenes from
the time of BARBAROSSA, but of course full of allu-
sions to the late events in Lombardy, having excited
the displeasure of the Austrian Minister, and induced
him to address a note to the Government ; M.
D'AZEGLIO answered it by sending the Ambassador a
few numbers of the Milan journal r Operaio in which
King VICTOR EMMANUEL is most grossly calum-
niated, observing at the same time that under a con-
stitutional Government many things cannot be pre-
vented, but that such language as that of the paper
alluded to, printed in a city under the regime of
martial-law, must have been at least connived at by
the local Government. The result of this affair is not
yet known.

able reaction in 'prices is fast approaching. Printing

SIMPLIFYING ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.

Lord BROUGHAM had for years past endeavoured,
with more or less, or he ought rather to say with less
success to introduce an improvement in the manufacture
of Acts of Parliament. He now would endeavour to
introduce the smallest possible improvement. His mea-
sure would do away with the necessity of introducing
the last clause that the Act be altered by the then session
cf Parliament, by enacting that all Acts might be altered
or repealed during the session in which they were passed.
He also proposed to do away with the necessity of re-
peating the words "be it further enacted" at the com-
mencement of every clause, and to introduce a more
simple method of quoting former Acts. The Noble Lord
then laid the Bill on the table, and it was read a first
time.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE asked the Noble
Lord what were the papers relating to the Dolly's Brae

ment and the magistrates of Armagh in 1846, for the
instructions given to the stipendiary magistrates and con-
stabulary in July last„for the reports received from them,
for the instructions issued to Berwick, and the evidence
taken by him, and likewise for certain affidavits. He
would furnish the Noble Marquis with a list of the papers
for which he intended to move.
After a few words from the Earl of ELLENEOROUGH and
Lord MONTEAGLE, their Lordships adjourned.

"Considerable ability is displayed in this work, which is evidently
be production of a writer well acquainted with French society.
There is no want of incident In this novel; indeed, it contains as
much se is usually found in a dozen volumes. Nor is that its only
merit. the style is vigorous, and there Is a knowledge of character
and shrewdness of observation which we seldom meet with in novels.
The doseription of French society is admirable."—Britannia.

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to
the 2d. On the previous day the Count of LAY&ADIO
had put a question to the Count of THOMAR, in the
House of Peers, as to the correctness of the account
given in the Morning Post of the 12th of December
respecting the affidavit he bad made with reference
to the QUEEN. It was understood to be the Count
of LAVEADIO'S intention to move that the House
should send a message to the QUEEN represent-
ing the necessity of dismissing from her councils
a person who had, "in his individual capacity,"
sought reparation in a foreign tribunal for a libel
alleged to have been published against her MA-
JESTY. The Count of THOHAR had prevented his
opponent from bringing on his motion by requdsting
that the paper might be handed to him, in order that
he might examine it and. see what he had to say at
the next sitting of the House on the sth instant.
Meanwhile the affair bad created so great a sensation
in Lisbon that Government salary receipts had be-
come undiscountable, although the public funds,
shares, and Lisbon bank-notes continued at the quo-
tations of the packet of the 30th of December. The
Duke of SALDANHA bad made a personal representa-
tion to the QUEEN upon the affair, when it was re-
ported that her MAIIESTY had made light of it, and
determined to stick by her Cabinet.

GERMANY.

The Berlin Chambers on the 9th adopted the
Habeas Corpus Act for securing personal liberty.
A letter from Mentz, of the 6th, says that Count
DE DEIGENFELD, Vice-Governor of that fortress,
had received intelligence of his nomination to the
post of Minister of War in Austria, in the room of
General GIULAY.

The Austrian Government published on the 3d the
provincial Constitution of Bohemia. It declares that
the different races shall enjoy equal political rights,
and guarantees them the 'preservation of their respec-
tive nationalities and languages. The Diet is to con-
sist of 220 Deputies, of whom 70 are to be elected by
the principal tax payers, 71 by certain towns and
districts, and 79 by the other communes. The qua-
lification for an elector is to be the paying of taxes
varying in amount from five florins to 15 florins, ac•
cording to towns and districts.

STATE OF TRADE.--MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.--We
have a very dull market to-day for both cloth and yarn,
and prices are in favour of the buyer. This applies both
to fine yarns and the lighter cloths, as well as to the
coarser makes. Some large concerns, which produce
low counts of yarn, have gone on to short time, or stopped
altogether; and the consumption of cotton, now advanced
to such a perilous price by unsound speculations, is, to
a very great extent, reduced. It is evident a consider-
able reaction in :prices is fast approaching. Printing
cloth rvtains its position, or nearly so, whilst madapol-
lams have lowered from lid. to 3d. per piece. 40 and
45 inch shirtings are very difficult to sell, and prices have
dropped fully 3d. per piece. Long cloths, T cloths, and
domestics are very quiet, and prices have a tendency
downwards.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived.
The Heraldo says that the official announcement to
the Cortes of the interesting position of the QUEEN
was to be made between the 10th and 15th of this
month. The eighteenth aniversary of the birthday
of the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER had been celebrated at
Seville with great pomp. Some of the journals again
repeat on the faith of foreign correspondence, that it
is the intention of the Montemolinist party to com-
mence hostile expeditions in the spring, but the rumour
was not credited. The Senate approved on the 3d
the bill on public accounts, and received the report
of the Committee on the Bill for authorising the Go-
vernment to levy the taxes. This report is entirely in
favour of the Bill. General Ros DE OLANo had bee❑
appointed commandant-general of the camp of Gib-
raltar. M. GONZALEZ BRAVO was better. M. Rios
Rows had not, it was believed, left Madrid, but he
was in hiding, and a prosecution had been com-
menced against him for the wounding M. BRAVO in
the duel.

LOLA MONTES left Cadiz a few days ago, on board
an English steamer, to proceed, it was supposed, to
England.
Frequent conferences were held between the POPE's
Nuncio, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, on the
subject of the formation of a Spanish Legion, to act
as a body guard to the POPIL
