of the time for the line of conduct he pursued in 1814 ;
but he was most painfully situated, the interests of
his native country demanding one course of policy—
the interests of his adopted country another; under
such circumstances, being without the power to pre-
serve neutrality, but compelled to take a decided part
in the great struggle, we do not think he could have
acted otherwise than he did, though we are aware
it may be alleged against him that the decision he
came to was precisely that which best suited his
own personal interests. At the period of his death
BERNADOTTE must have been nearly eighty years of
age ; and whether we consider him as a soldier or a
sovereign, he was undoubtedly one of the most
reputable of that numerous band •f public adven-
turers whom the Revolution called forth front ob-
scurity into the broad glare of notoriety.

govern, that from the wrong and oppression of the
governed the only permanent spoil which can be
reaped consists in the alienated affections, corrupted
morals, the vanished virtues, and torpid spirit of the
latter; the restless jealousies, incessant treasons, and
insatiable demands for blood and sacrifice which are
the righteous legacy of their own crimes.
The whole of the present revenue of Spain does not
exceed about 9,000,0001. sterling. " The debt of
Spain in January, 1842, is stated to amount," says
Mr. MACGREGOR, "to 14,160,968,047 reels, or
157,344,0801. sterling. Of this debt, about
65,000,0001. is only admitted to be due to foreigners,
the interest of which has not been discharged for
several years." The above statement evidently does not
include " the amount stated in 1833, as debt without
interest, which see." Now on referring to the
table here indicated (it is at p. 85), we find that the
heading " debt without interest" is composed of these
items :

If, on Mr. MACGREGOR'S authority we are to add this
amount to the capital above stated, the aggregate of
the debt of Spain will be, not 157,344,0801., but
282,790,1551. sterling. What must be the Court
venality, the unprincipled profligacy of administra-
tions, and the rapacity of soldiers of fortune, and Mi-
nisters like those we see now in power in a country,
which a judge as competent as Mr. MACGREGOR deems
to be still so gifted with natural wealth, and the
means of rapidly multiplying capital, could she but
find trusty and able ministers, that he does not hesi-
tate thus to notice what she might become, despite
what she is.

Mr. PETER BORTHWICIC gave notice, that in a fort-
night he should move an address to the Crown, for
the purpose of referring all matters ecclesiastical to a
Convocation of the Clergy—in other words, for re-
storing a system which experience had shown was in-
compatible with free legislation, and which was only
intended to give power to the Church.
Sir ROBERT PEEL gave notice that on an early
day he would move for a Select Committee on Con-
troverted Elections.

In answer, to a question from Mr. LABOUCHERE,
Lord AsuLEy said on Friday night he should en-
treat the Home to affirm the proposition that the
words " ten hours' " labour in manufactories should
be substituted for " twelve."

" Spain, however, need not, in her financial burdens or
obligations, be considered in a desperate condition. She
has abundant resources, and requires only an honest
and enlightened administration, a wise and sound re-
form of her customs-laws and duties, and of her direct
taxation, to attain, in ten years at furthest, from the
adoption of such reforms, an independent treasury,
and the honourable distinction of fulfilling her na-
tional obligations."

Sir JAI&Es GRAHAM said the Government would
take the sense of the House on the motion of the No•
ble Lord.

In answer to a question from Captain Roue, relit.
tive to rumours that the QUEEN was, in the course of
the summer, to pay a visit to the King of Purism,
Sir ROBERT PEEL said: he believed those rumours
to be entirely without foundation.
Mr. RICARDO moved for an Address to the Crown,
the object of which was to make alterations in the
Customs' duties without any reference to the com-
mercial policy of other nations. Mr. GLADSTONE,
Lord HOWICR, and Mr. HUME spoke on the motion,
but the House did not seem to take any interest in
the affair. At a quarter to eight o'clock, a Member
moved that the House be counted, and there being
only thirty-nine Members present, it adjourned.

Madrid Papers, of the 12th, have been received. Ac-
cording to the Castellano, the unfortunate BONET had
made important disclosures which compromise certain
individuals at Madrid, and promised more, on condition
that his life should be spared. RONCALI, however, rejected
the proposition, and refused even to see him. On the same
day on which the horrid scene took place at Alicant, a
somewhat similar tragedy was enacted atLugo, where the
partizan Chief CASTRovILea, and three of his companions,
were shot by order of one of her MAJESTY'S superior offi-
cers. Acconnts from Carthagena state that the insurgents
had signified their willingness to admit the QUEEN'S
troops on a promise of their lives being spared, and on
condition that none but the QUEEN'S troops should
enter. To this proposition it was replied, that on the
first point the orders of the Government would be carried
into execution; and on the second, that the National
Guard, which :formed the advanced guard, would enter
at the head of the division.

The " appeal from PHILIP drunk to PHILIP sober"
never could have developed a more impressive con-
trast than the comparison of the natural advantages,
and resources, and riches of Spain with her present
disabled, degraded, and ruinous position, must suggest
to every reflecting mind. This comparison has been
forcibly recalled to us by a perusal of the " Thirteenth
Part" of Mr. MACGREGOR'S invaluable work, "Com-
mercial Tariffs and Regulations of the several States
of Europe and America ;" for the Part in question is
devoted to " Spain."
If it be no longer THE Spain of those palmy and im-
perial ages in which her Sovereigns justly claimed a
pre-eminence among the Monarchs of Europe, as being
" Lords of Spain and of the Indies"—if their proud
boast may no more be heard " that, on their domi-
nions the sun never set" a (a prestige which has long
since quitted the sceptre of FERDINAND or of CHARLES,
to attach to that which has been wielded by our
GEORGES and WILLIAMS, and is now sustained by
VICTORIA. the FIRST)—it is still one of the most mag-
nificent countries and most anciently-settled kingdoms
of the Old World. It is not necessary to insist on
the entire accuracy of the Count DE LABORDE'S
assertion, that "no country in Europe is so generally
fertile as Spain, or has equal advantages at all sea-
sons of the year." Nor are we bound to accept, with-
out large qualifications indeed, the recent estimate of
M. ARGUELLES, which assumes the total annual
value of her territorial wealth to be so much as
8,572,220,591 reals, equal to nearly 90,000,0001.
sterling. But the fact seems certain, that in spite of
all the foreign and domestic convulsions to which the
pursuits of her native agriculture have been subject
ever since the commencement of the present century,
the amount of grain, especially of wheat, produced in
Spain, even at this time, is very enormous. After
making every allowance on account of the disastrous
operation upon all the prospects of husbandry, of
civil wars and dilapidated finances, and of the more
primary elements of inadequate tillage and defective
cultivation, and the precariousness of all investments
in land, arising from the impolitic and oppressive
character of such tenures as the " inalienable, indi-
visible Mayorazgos," for instance ; and still more
from the paralysing influence of that great corporate
monopoly, the " Mesta," or associated land pro-
prietors (for Spain, among her other visitations, is
cursed with agricultural protection (1) to the most
orthodox extent of that delusion)—we may yet
marvel at the extent of her flocks and her herds, the
variety and the quantity of her wines, and the
abundance and richness of her mineral products.
In these last "re is reason to believe
that, could her mining operations be conducted
with the application of sufficient capital, and main-
tained without interruption from violence or their
external causes—and always assuming in the first
place, that the spirit of her Government could be
so ameliorated as to maintain its relations with
foreign capitalists, with some pretensions to a small
stock of common faith and honesty—Spain would
find herself richer, at this moment, than she has ever
found herself at any former period of her history.
The lead ores of that country have long been cele-
brated for their surpassing richness ; the quality of
the lead is unexceptionable; and its argentiferous
production is singularly rich. " The silver and lead
mines (writes Mr. MACGREGOR, p. 81) lately dis-
covered in the Sierra Almagrera, in Almeira, near the
borders of Murcia, are described as remarkably rich."
Coal is found in great plenty in the Pyrenees, in
the Asturias, in Andalusia, Valencia, and other parts.
Iron is chiefly smelted in the Basque provinces, the
ore of Somorrostro is there made to yield one-third
of good iron ; that of Mondragon forty per cent.
Copper abounds in Navarre and the Asturias. In
Arragon, .Andalusia, Valencia, and Catalonia there
are (especially, in Arragon, neglected), mines of gold
and silver, cobalt, antimony, zinc, arsenic, salt,
manganese, &c.—in Almaden (La Mancha) some of
the finest mines of quicksilver in the world, a great
part of whose treasures is raised by English capital,
and exported hither.
°Yet with these elements of wealth, withm a climate
preferable to that of Greece, Italy, or France," with
sea coast affording infinite commercial facilities on
the shores of the Mediterranean and the coasts of the
Atlantic ; with noble rivers watering her compact and
naturally fortified heme-territory, 640 miles in length
by 550 in breadth, with her valuable possessions of
the Balearic and Canary Islands and their important
trade ; with her noble colonies in the West, of Cuba
and Porto Rico, in the East, of the Phillippines—the
foreign commerce of Spain is of comparative insigni-
ficance." All the accidents of climate, of geographical
position, of territorial surface, and colonial connexion

The English and French Consuls had left Carthagena
for Escombrera, with the intention of saving the lives
of those that might fall into the hands of RoNceu.
The Three per Cents. were done at 314 for eash, and
32+ at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 224 for cash,
and 23 at 60 days.

Most of the Paris papers of Monday publish the do-
cuments relative to Otaheite, which have been laid be-
fore the House of Commons. They, of course, are far
from satisfying the Opposition party, who complain that
they are only garbled extracts, put forth to mislead the
public, but such absurd remarks really deserve no
notice. On Monday the Chamber of Deputies resolved,
almost unanimously, to take into consideration the
motions of MM. BEAUMONT and LACROSSE, for the
prevention of fraud, bribery, and corruption at elections.
The debate on the Secret Service Money Bill then com-
menced. We find no domestic intelligence of interest in
these papers. The Journal des Debats, however, has a
long article on the affairs of Greece, which throw some
new light on the manceuvres of Russia in that quarter.
The following extracts from it will be read with in-
terest :
"At the same time that we receive the account of the
discussion in the House of Commons on the affairs of
Greece, we receive intelligence from Athens, announcing a
change in the Ministry. formed after the Revolution of Sep-
tember. It is known that M. Metaxa, who is considered as
the head of the Russian party, was the President of this
Ministry. M. Metaxa had solicited the aid of M. Coletti and
M. Mavrocordato, who are looked on as the leaders of the
French and English parties, and those statesmen had
promised their support to the Cabinet, although they refused
to form a part of it. Hitherto MM. Coletti and Mavrocordato
had merely served as a counterpoise to the lins.sian party, which
in Greece shows itself as liberal as it is despotic in Russia.
What would prove, if necessary, what we say is, that the coiin.
pact hitherto maintained with much difficulty has been
broken on a question in which the most precious prerogath e
of Royalty was concerned. The National Assembly had to
discuss the constitution of the Chamber of Peers or Senate.
Was the nomination of senators to be left to the King, or to
the elective body? This question had been resolved con-
formably to monarchial principles. But were the senators to
be named for life, or for a certain fixed period? This is what
the National Assembly was called on to decide. The Radical
party, with which the Russian party united, wanted to have
the senators appointed for ten years. The moderate party,
headed by MM. Colletti and Mavrocordato, were of opinion
that they ought to be named for Afe. A first vote divided
the Assembly into two equal parts, but after two days' dis-
cussion, 112 votes were given for the appointment for life,
and 92 for the nomination for a certain period. This vote
caused a great sensation in Athens. The Russian, or
Nappist party, endeavoured to turn the popular passions

as objects for public disapprobation, but the people
did not respond to those attempts at excitement. M.
Metaxa gave in his resignation as President of the Council,
asdidA
the I.Bli3oltihase' Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs. Never-
theless, r members of the Cabinet remained at their
posts. A man who bears an historical name, already Minister
of Marine, has taken the office of President of the Council ;
M. Melas, Minister of Justice, has taken, ad interim, the port-
folio of Ecclesiastical Affairs ; M. Drosses Mensolas, Minister
of Finance, has taken the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and

King's Household. It is, therefore, still the Mi-
nistry the Revolution of September which administers the
affairs of Greece ; and Colonel Kalergi, who was then at the
head of the garrison, also preserves his functions, and has
known how to maintain that order, which guarantees the in-
dependence of the deliberations of the National Assembly.
" The question of religion will no doubt give rise to serious
difficulties, as Greece appears determined to have a national
religion, and that the Sovereign shall be a member of the
Greek Church.
" This resolution, in our opinion, will bring about serious
complications. The presumptive heirs to the throne, the
Princes of Bavaria, are Catholics, and the 39th article of
the Constitution is an act of exclusion pronounced against
them, and a virtual infraction of the treaty of 1832. There-
fore, if the Bavarian Princes are put out of Court, a King
thirst be looked for possessing the Oriental religion. Two
eventualities may occur. A Greek may be chosen, but that
foreign family
of the orthodox Church may be selected. In
jealousies may prevent—or a Prince belonging to a
i n
thatterucase the Imperial Family of Russia would be called into
action ; but, on the other hand, the Great Powers have
stipulated that none of the three protecting Powers shall from
their own families furnish a King to the Greek nation.
"The representatives of France and England have protested
against the new article of the Constitution, as in contravention
of the treaty of 1832, and there is little doubt but that this
question will call for the intervention of at least two of the
three protecting Powers."

The French Funds were firm on Monday ; the Three

tradesmen on this subject are well-founded. The

for honest men ; and it is a great hardship that shop-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

CLERKENWELIA-(THIS DAY.)
William Turney, a painter, rather stylishly attired, was
charged with violently assaulting Benjamin Greene, police-
constable 82 E.

It appeared from the evidence that on the previous even-
ing the prisoner had picked a woman's pocket of half-a-
crown, and ran out of the house where the offence was
committed, followed by the woman. and several other per-
sons, crying "Stop thief." He was stopped by the officer in
Hunter-street, Brunswick-square, between two and three
o'clock this morning. The prisoner made a desperate effort
to escape, but finding it fruitless attacked the constable in
a very savage manner, strove to knock him down, and
kicked him in the side and on the hip. The officer shouted
for assistance, and police-constable E 117 came up, and
with his help the ruffian was secured. At the station-house
he used the most disgusting language, and it required the
combined exertions of four officers to restrain him from
committing further violence.
Mr. Comm sentenced the prisoner to seven days' impri-
sonment, without the power of releasing himself by the pay-
ment of fine.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Johnson, a young man very fashionably-dressed,
and who was described on the Police charge-sheet as residing
at No. 5, Ely-place, Holborn, law student, was charged with
committing five different assaults of an aggravated nature,
for which penalties were imposed, amounting altogether to
18/. It appeared that between eleven and twelve o'clocklast
night, the prisoner, in a state of extreme intoxication, vio-
lently assaulted a respectable tradesman, named Brockling,
as he was passing along New Bond-street. Not the slight-
est provocation was given by the complainant, and the
prisoner would have further ill-treated him, but that
police-constable, No. 106 of the C division, came
up and took the prisoner into custody. He then violenty
assaulted the constable by striking him, unawares, a tremen-
dous blow on the right eye, and afterwards on the forehead ;
and he also kicked him on the leg so violently that a serious
wound was caused, which will prevent the constable from
going on duty for several days. After that he assaulted po-
lice-constables Nos. 38,122, and 58, kicking them in the groin
and abdomen ; and, finally, his conduct became so outrageous
that it was found necessary to strap him down on the police-
stretcher and carry him to the station-house.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was extremely
sorry for what had occurred, and it pained him vary much to
think that he had so misconducted himself ; he should not
have done so, but that he had taken more wine than he was
accustomed to.

Mr. MALTBY then apportioned the penalties as follows :
For the assault on Mr. Brockling, 21., or twenty-one days'
imprisonment ; for that on the constable, No. 106, .51., or
two months' imprisonment ; on No. 38, 5/.,:0r six weeks' im-
prisonment ; No. 22, 4/.., or one month ; and No. 58, 21., or
twenty-one days.—The fines were instantly paid.

M.A.RYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
George Spink, a working whitesmith, was placed at the bar
charged with having, on many occasions, annoyed the female
domestics of No. 10, Montague-place, Montague-square, in a
very indecent and disgusting manner.
The offence was clearly proved, and the worthless scoundrel
was committed for sic weeks to the House of Correction.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Eliza Holloway, a young woman, apparently not more
than twenty years of age, and whose eyes were red and
swollen with crying, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bond,
charged with pawning a piece of carpet for 3s. 6d., the pro-
perty of the person in whose house she had lodged for five
weeks, and to whom she gave the money, in payment of a
week's rent then owing. This person stated that the defen-
dant was an unfortunate female, and that she was evidently
in distress, which had no doubt induced her to pawn
the carpet.
The defendant's mother, a decently dressed elderly female,
here stepped forward. She said her daughter was a married
woman, having been married five years ago. Her husband,
who was in good employment, left her three years ago. She
supported her daughter as long as she was able, but could do
so no longer ; but she would willingly redeem the piece of
carpet, though it would take all the money she had. I have
done all for my daughter that I could do. lam only a
monthly nurse, and I have a daughter sorely afflicted, and a
son solely dependent upon me for support.
Mr. BOND said—What assistance is that you have given
your daughter to allow her to walk the: streets? The tie
which binds a mother to her child does not terminate when
she marries ; you have now an opportunity of saving your
daughter from her unhappy fate, and you ought to take her
home and endeavour to reclaim her from her present course
of life.

Mrs. Holloway said—Sometimes I have not a morsel to
eat from day to day. I have been ill myself, and find it a
hard matter to live. I really have done all I can for her. I

have applied to her parish but they will not assist her.
Mr. BOND asked what parish the defendant's husband be-
longed to? Mrs. Holloway—Chelsea parish.
Mr. BOND said he should discharge the defendant, and
directed an officer to take her to Chelsea workhouse.

The defendant said she would not go to a workhouse.
Mr. BOND said, that as she had refused the only means
left by which she could be supported, and ultimately attain
a situation, he had no alternative but to discharge her; but
if brought up again charged with any other robbery, no
mercy would be shown to her.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Rich was charged before Mr. Cottingham with as-
saulting Mary Welch, under the following aggravated cir-
cumstances :—The parties had been in the company of a
gentleman, who exhibited a good deal of expensive jewel-
lery on his person,. and they were all drinking together at a
public-house in the London-road. When they came out the
defendant proposed to her companion to rob the gentleman
of some of his jewellery, a proposition which was rejected,
upon which she was attacked by her assailant, who struck
her in the face with great violence.—She was held to bail.
A young woman named Mills was charged with inflicting a
serious wound on the head of a young man named Twig, with
a quart pewter pot.
fhe complainant stated that, while taking some beer in
front of the bar of a public-house, the defendant, who was
there with others, took up a pewter pot, and struck him a
blow on the head which cut it open.
The defendant's account was thatr while standing at the
bar, the complainant pulled her petticoats over her head.
Mr. CorrisattAm said he could not punish the offender,
who had received such strong provocation, and therefore dis-
charged her.

The Royal establishments at Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace are undergoing a total revision and ar-
rangement, to come into operation on and after the 30th
nstant. The rota of "the waits" of the lords and ladies of
the bedchamber, maids of honour, grooms, equerries, &c.,
is to be more strictly observed than has hitherto been
the case. Both the state pages are placed on the retired list ;
four or five of the ether pages have been discharged; and
the duty of the remainder rendered permanent, instead of
havit4 alternate months of close waiting. The number of
the gentlemen porters has been reduced, and many of the
male and female domestics of the Royal Household dis-
charged.
