a question of law in that House against the legal
acuteness of the Hon. and Learned Geneem an." But he

would state his impressions, " as a matter of courtesy,"
to the Learned Gentleman. The Right Honourable
Baronet did not more completely forget what
was due to the character and station of the Home
Secretary, when he undertook to vindicate the em-
ployment of spies in the masquerade of shorthand-
writers in Ireland, than in proposing to discharge his
duty of affording the explanation required by another
llon. Member of the House, as a " matter of cour-
tesy" forsooth! But Mr. AGLIONBY " wanted none of
the Right Hon. Gentleman's courtesy," and, still
pressing for an explanation, obtained one from Sir
JAMES, on which Mr. WTAKLEY proceeded to found,
we repeat, the strongest possible presumption of op-
pressive and illegal conduct in the proceeding and
finding of the Shrewsbury magistrates.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 30th ult.
The reports of the unsatisfactory state of the health
of the young QUEEN are on the increase. It is stated
that the indisposition, on account of which she has
gone to the baths of Caldes, is of a serious, not to say
of an alarming, character.

The Madrid Gazette contains a dispatch of General
NARYAEZ, dated the 27th ult., mentioning that their
MAJESTIES and the INFANTA continued to enjoy ex-
cellent health. They were to embark at four o'clock
in the morning of the 29th for Tarragona, in the
Isabel steamer, and the persons attached to the house-
hold were to follow in the Ville de Madrid. The
Eco del Comercio states that General NARVAEZ,
who to-,k off with him 12,000,000 reals, advanced by
the bank of San Fernando, to defray the expenses of
the journey of the Royal Family, had written to the
Minister of Finance for 20,000,000 more, and com.
plains of the manner in which such large sums are
drawn from the Treasury for this purpose.
The Three per Cents. were done at 27f for cash,
and 281 at 60 days; the Five per Cents., at 204 at
60 days ; the Floating Debt, at 464 at 60 days; the
Coupons at 24 9-16 at 60 days; and the Debt with-
out interest at 6 for cash.

The Paris journals of Wednesday have been re-
ceived, but they are rather bare of political intelli-
gence of interest. Both Chambers met on Tuesday.
In the Deputies, the Supplementary Credits Bill was
adopted by 163 votes to 67. The sitting was entirely
taken up with the question of voting a grant of money
to the proprietors of posting-houses to enable them
to keep up their establishments by the side of the
railroad lines. The Chamber decided against grant-
ing any sum of money whatever, thinking that such a
course would only be a temporary expedient, which
ought to be discountenanced, when it was the duty of
the Government to bring in a large and definitive
measure on the subject. It would seem by this, that
the system which has so long existed in France of
bolstering up decaying trades, and unremunerative
speculations by Government grants, is en the decline.
Had the House of Commons been asked to vote com-
pensation money to the inns and posting houses that
have lost their business here by the extension of rail-
way lines, the item would not have been the smallest
figure in the miscellaneous estimates.

In the opinion of a great many persons in Paris,
the last intelligence from Algeria is of a serious na-
ture. An engagement is daily expected between the
French in the neighbourhood of Tlemcen and the
Arabs, supported by a large body of Moors. It is
probable that the debate now expected in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, on an extraordinary credit for the
service of Algeria, will elicit some information on
this subject.
The following letter from Algiers in a Toulon
paper, is the last intelligence received :

" The arrival of a courier from the west gave rise to extra-
ordinary reports here. It was said that the Emperor of Mo-
rocco had just sent considerable reinforcements to Abd-el-
Kader, who was thus placed in a condition to renew the war.
These reports soon assumed a certain consistency, when it
was understood that all the disposable troops of Oran, Mosta-
ganem, and Mascara, had received orders to join General La-
moriciere at his camp at Lamargnia, near the frontiers of
Morocco ; and that, in addition, the 6th regiment of Light
Infantry, in garrison at Orleanville and Tenes, had also set
out in the direction of Tlemcen."

Spanish politics occupy quite as much space in the
Paris papers as topics of home interest. The Siecle
asserts that negotiations are going on with the sanc-
tion of England and France for the marriage of the
QUEEN of SPAIN to the son of Don CARLOS. Many
of those who are best informed as to the state of
Spanish parties state, that, though the union may be
effected, it would not have the effect of healing the
wounds, and reconciling the deadly enmities created
by so many years of civil war. The Christinos and
Carlists would never amalgamate for any course of
political action, and the Carlists, deserted by their
chief, would probably form a party in the State,
active and unscrupulous enough to disturb, if not
strong enough to acquire, the preponderance.

The Univers announces that an address to Mr.
O'CONNELL 15 lying for signature at its office, and
calls upon the Catholics of France to affix their
names to it.

By a Royal Ordonnance of the 2d inst., Rear-
Admiral LASUSSE has been promoted to the rank of
Vice-Admiral, vice LALANDE, deceased ; and Captain
CzcILLE, commanding the Indo-Chinese station, has
been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, vice
L ASUSSE, promoted. _ _

Accounts from Algiers state that Marshal BUGEAITD
had arrived at Algiers on the 30th ult., and was to
start for Oran on the 31st, to take the command of
the troops to be employed against Morocco.
The Messager of Tuesday has the following:—
"The King, wishing to give to the manufacturers of France
a testimony of the gratification which he has felt on viewing
the magnificent exhibition of the various products of their
genius and industry, and of his high appreciation of the sen-
timents evinced towards him during his visits to the Champs
Elysees, has resolved to give a representation at the theatre
of the Palace at Versailles to the central jury, and as many of
the exhibitors as the theatre will hold. The day is fixed for
Saturday next. The Intendant-General of the Civil List has
received orders to send out the invitations, which must neces-
sarily be limited, and particularly as his Majesty, to make
the assemblage the more complete and dignified, includes the
members of the two Chambers. On that day no person will
be admitted into the galleries of Versailles, except those who
have had tickets sent expressly to them."

The Three per Cents. closed on Wednesday at 84f.
60c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 40c. ; Spanish
Actives. elf; Spanish Three per Cents., 36/i.
