those which we extend to shipping of those foreign
flags. The cost of provisions, the heavy charge of
light tides, the 'trinity ilduse pilotage; and ether
regulations, and some causes still more remaricabie,
are given among those which have worked to the
shipowners the serious amount of injury complained
of. But as these are matters at once too complicated
and too grave to be summarily disposed of, we shall
return to the subject on a future occasion.

We have accounts from Madrid of the 27th, the
day on which NARVAEZ WEIS to have been assassinated.
The whole affair, a brief account of which appeared
in The Sun of Saturday, bears a very suspicious cha-
racter.
It is more like a miserable ruse`—a low in-
trigue got up to frighten the peaceful inhabitants of
Madrid, and make them submit quietly even to
martial law during the discussions on the Reform
Bill. The very manner in which the news is given
excites suspicion. " General NARVAEZ was ,to have
been assassinated at the gate of the French Embassy.
General PRIM was arrested and other arrests were
rustic)." Of the arrests we have no doubt, and as little
doubt of their object, but that any attempt was to
have been made on the life of NARVAEZ we have not
the slightest proof. It is all mere assertion, and re-
sembles the fictitious lots and conspiracies which
have been blazoned forth by NARVAEZ and. Coisl
ever since they assumed despotic sway over
the Spanish people. The affair at Barcelona
has more the appearance of a reality,. as
some of the unfortunate persons arrested have found..
According to accounts from that town of the 29th
ult., four persons had been condemned to death; and
nine to the galleys. A permanent courb-martial was
established. The following individuals besides PRIM
have been arrested at Madrid:—MENDICATTI,
former Aide-de-camp of ESPARTERO ; Don Bias
MONTENEGRP, Don MIGUEL FERRER, Don RAI:A‘EL
GARCIA, Don, MIGUEL MOLIA, and- Don CARLICTO
INFANTES.

The Paris papers of Frlday and Saturday are en.

tirely destitute of intelligence. Friday, indeed, no
business was done, it being All Saints' Day, and only
two papers were published. Petty contests; for want
of better, are carried on by the Ministerial and Op-
position journals relative to the merits and demerits
of the GUIZOT Ministry, and the former certainly
have the best of the fight. The following amusing
attack on M. Tunas appears in the Paris Globe:--
" The Ministry of 'October 29 has existed for four
years, and still exists, in the name of the King. in the
names of the two Chambers, in the names of the elec-
toral body of the people. It has never shrunk from the
judgment of either of these powers, by whose,' con-
currence alone, according to our present constitutional
system, Cabinets are formed and supported. It is im-
possible to find a position more precise, more strong,
more constitutional than 'this. Those who deny
the legitimacy of the Cabinet, and. its right to
remain in power, must, to be consistent, deny
the legitimacy of the Constitutional Government,
and they should call not only for a change of
Ministry, but for a revolution. To take no account of
the opinion of the Chambers, the opinion of the electors,
is to take no account of the charter s • is, in fact, to reject
it. When, froin the appreciation of the value of the as-
Sent of the Chambers and the electors, they proceed to
the appreciation of the acts of the Ministry, the Opposi-
tion journals are still more contradictory and blind. Tn.
Constitutionnel, the Siecle, and all the other journals of
M. Thiers, find that the cannon of Beyrout and Saint
Jean d'Acre was more honourable to France than the
names of Tangiers, Mogadore, and Isly. The 'Constitu-
tionnel and the Siecle find that a rupture with England
would give France, a stronger position in Europe than a
cordial understanding with her. The Constitutionnel and
the Siecle find that. France, which manufactured muskets
in 1840, was more prosperous than France in 1844, when
she is manufacturing iron rails for railroads. According
to M. Thiers and his journals, the words Honour, Force,
Prosperity, should be thui defined in a new edition of the
Dictionary of the Academy—viz.: Honour :—A word
which expresses the action of putting one's self under
shelter on the approach of danger. Example-fecal
of the fleet to Toulon in 1840. Force—The result oh
isolation, and not of union; union is not strength—the
wisdom of ages tells us so. Prosperity—A state of
affairs in which unproductive expenditure is increased
tenfold, leading individuals to the workhouse and nations
to bankruptcy. If we compare the point of departure of
the Ministry of October 29 with the point at which it is,
arrived, we shall find a striking difference. Had this
Ministry done no more than repair the faults of that of
March 1, it would still have done much. But it has done
more. It has not contented stself with repairing, it' has
reconciled the secondary interests of the people with the
interests of peace. This grand and fruitful idea will
survive it, and the system of the entente cordiale will long
be called in diplomatic language the system of Oct. 29.
We should like to know what has- survived the Ministry
of March 1? A speech in which the English alliance
was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the naval
power of France; and a speech in a disunion with Eng-
land was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the
peace of France. Two contradictions within a few
months—and nothing more I"

Ministryon the subject of the loan' are at id end. It is
said to have been resolved to issue the remaining portion
of the 450,000,000 f. that •has not yet been negotiated.
These 300,000,000 f. are to be done -in the Three per
Cents., and the contract is to be decided about the 25th
instant.

The illoniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordon-.
nance, dated October 30, for the re-organisation of
the Polytechnic School.
A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult, in the Journal
de Frankfort, says :
" The Government has sent a strong note to the Ha-
noverian Government against the commercial treaty
concluded with England, and has recalled Baron de
Seckendorff, the Prussian Ambassador. We cannot say
what the precise terms of the note may be, but it is cer-
tain that it uses strong language against the anti-Ger-
manic conduct of Hanover. There is no possibility of an
arrangement at present, and consequently the post of
Hanoverian Ambassador at our Court will remain vacant,
and Count de Hardenberg will not have any successor.
On the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the
King has received from the King of Holland overtures
for a commercial connexion between Holland and the
Zollverein."

The following appears in a Havre journal.:--
" The long-projected idea of carrying on the corres-
pondence between Europe and Peru, across the Isthmus
of Panama, is, it is said, about to be realeeed. M. Mar-
cescheau, the French Charge d'Affaires at Bolivia, was
charged by his Government to find the means of esta-
blishing this service, but has hitherto met with insur-
mountable local obstacles. But Captain Boulanger, who
is well known and highly esteemed at Havre, and has
resided in Peru for several years, has come forward and
undertaken to realise the plans of M. Marcescheau. It
is proposed that three fast-sailing vessels, ably com-
manded, shall be appointed to convey the letters, pas-
sengers, and merchandiser between Callao and Panama,
touching every voyage at Payta. By sending the dis
patches from Europe to Chagres, and thence across the
Isthmus, to be again embarked from the point at which
the new packets arrive, it is expected that they will
reach the city of Litna in 60 or 70 days from the time of
their departure, whereas it requires double the time for
them to arrive at their destination by the pessage round
Cape Here. It is probable that, through the active ex-
ertions of Captain Bolanger. who ie the director of this
new line, the project is already carried.into execution,
and that this way of communication will be announced
to the public, and must be received by all interested in
it with the approbation and pleasure it is so well calcu-
lated to excite." .

Mr. Erle is appointed to the Justiceship of th.
Common Pleas, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Jus-
tice Erskine. This appointment does honour to all
parties concerned, as no more deserving man exists
than Mr. Erle ; and Sir Robert Peel, by disregarding
party claims, and looking for talent alone, will gain
the approbation of every honest practitioner at the
English bar.

The dejeuner provided on the occasion of the Queen's
visit at the Royal Exchange by Messrs. Staples, of the
Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, has been spoken of
by the excellent judges of the Corporation of London
as one of the finest ever got up on so extensive a scale.
The bill of fare and the attentions given to the royal
table were spoken of by her Majesty to Prince Albert
in the bearing of those behind her chair.

Among the more importaut signs -of the times, as
connected with the affairs of Ireland, and the more rapid
development of its resources, natural and acquired, is
the extension of railways between the principal partt of
the island. And it must be gratifying to all those who
really have the welfare of Ireland at heart to find, now that
the fervour for repeal has received a check from the princi-
pal agitator himself in favour of federalism, that parties of
wealth and importance are stepping forward to encourage
rapidity of intercourse in Ireland by means of railways.
Blink the fact hoWever we may, the moneyed men of this
part of the United Kingdom have for years hesitated to
connect theinselves with nearly all the im-
portant plans that have been brought forward to im-
portant
the condition of the people of the sister isle.
What a new state of things, under hope of poli-
tical quietude and increased industry, will prevail in this
country ! The proof is that our capitalists are now
anxious to support plans for the formation of railways,
&c., in Ireland, and that ere long, under favourable cir-
cumstances, a portion of the surplus money of the
richer classes of England will be invested in property in
lots
Ireland—a desideratum lolooked for on the other side
of the Channel.
The private commercial accounts received to-day from
India and China are not of much interest. Money was
more plentiful, and the prospects of trade good.
The Codsel Market has not been• firm this morning,
Money being in request.for commercial purposes. The
expectation; too, that the new loan for the French Go-
vernment for about 12,000,0001., the adjudication for
which is expected to be made to-morrow, rather tends
to tighten the Money Market. No doubt the loan, if
brought out by an influential firm in the City, would
be eagerly subscribed for, as investments in new rail-
ways are not so much sought after as they were.
Consols for Money have been quoted at eat, and for
the Account at 994 to per. The premium on Exche-
quer bills is again lower, via., at 645. The Commis-
sioners took Consols to-day at 994. Bank Stock opened
at 2044 and ie now per cent. lower.
An improvement has taken place in the Converted
Portuguese Bonds this morning, from 524 to 534
Spanish Actives have been sold at 234 ; the Three per
:Cents. at 35 ; the Dutch -Two-and-a-Hull per Cents. at
621 ; Colombian at 14 ; and Mexican at 345. The New
Belgian Two-and• s-Half per Cents. are at 4to 1 per
cent. premium, but there is scarcely any of it in the
market.
In Railway Shares there has not been much busi-
ness done to-day. In general, prices are rather lower
han at the close of last week.

Louis Philippe left St. Cloud for Fontainbleau on
Friday, accompanied by Count de Montaliveta and was
to return to Paris on Sunday evening. His Majest* it
is said, intends to give fetes in that splendid residence
m the occasion of the marriage of the Duke d'Aumale.
The ordonnance for the re- organisation of the Poly-
technic School is composed of sixty-one articles, re-pro-
luting the principal regulations of the ordonnance of
)ct. 30, 1832. The Commission appointed by the Mi-
nistry for the re-organisation has preserved all the ele-
ments which haw rendered the School so celebrated.
The principal innovation relates to the intervention of
the Academy of Sciences, which is no longer to have a
direct presentation for professorships, &e. The School
continues to be subject to military discipline, and the
pupils are to retain their uniform. Nothing is said of
any expulsions on account of the late insubordination.
The Paris Court of Aseine, after having been engaged
for six days with the trial of a band of not less than
forty-one thieves, nearly all of them of the lowest grade,
has just pronounced its judgment upon the prisoners.
Very few of them were acquitted ; and the others, some
of whom were living in a state of concubinage with the
leaders of the gang, received sentence to various terms of
imprisonment ; in some cases with hard labour for ten,
fifteen, or twenty years. Lenoir, a receiver, who had
for some time been living in apparent respectability as a
jeweller, was sentenced to five years imprisonment, with
hard labour.
The 25th of the present month is fixed for the opening
of the English plays at the Theatre Italien, and every-
thing augurs most favourably for the success of the en-
terprise. Nothing can.exceed the good feeling manifested
generally by the Paris press in favour of the undertaking,
a feeling originating doubtless in acknowledgment of the
munificent encouragement given to the dramatic art of
France by Mr. Mitchell, as director of the French the-
atre in London.
The price of bread in Paris, for the first fortnight of
the present month, is fixed at 32 centimes the kilo-
gramme for the first quality, about 4d. the 41b. loaf.
We learn from Presburg that the Hungarian Diet has
come to a resolution that the nobility shall contribute a
subsidy towards the expenditure of the State, but that
the Government is not to have the application of the
money, .The amount of subsidy is only equal to 250,0001.,
which is a. very small sum, considering the immense
--ritorial possessions of some of the nobles.
