THE STIN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31. 1840

United States' frontiers into Canada, with the avowed
object of assisting and abetting the revolt of Canadian
subjects of Great Britain. VAN RANSLAER and the
other brigands did not imagine, as the Yankee editor
does, that oiled-skin tents were the sort of " means
for defeating an enemy ;" but plundered the arserris
of their own Government for more available muni-
tions of war to be used against the Britishers. But
let that fact—and the talk of " liberal institutions"
in juxta-position with the ill-concealed and rancorous
prejudice against England which pervades the whole
article—let them pass. We will answer the editor's
question by reminding him that Mexico and Great
Britain are allies. But the United States and Mexico
are also under similar friendly relations. Mexico
herself has never recognised the independence of her
revolted province of Texas. There can be no sort
of doubt, therefore, on any principle of the
law of nations, that the Mexican Government
had a perfect right to order—the Boston
house of business a perfect right to manufacture
—and any British agency a perfect right to negotiate
the payment for—these oiled-skin tents for the ser-
vice of Mexico. To Mexico, Texas stands not in the
light of a " gallant little republic fighting for its na-
tional independence," but of a tumultuary and li-
centious portion of the Mexican dominions, the de
facto Government and the people of which, so far
from having any feelings of national independence to
plead in their justification, have long been, and are, at
this moment, trying to execute a dishonest sale and
transfer of their allegiance, and consequently a
merger of all national identity, as well as rights, on
their part, to the Federation of the United States,
whereof they desire to form a component element.
Now, it is very true that we may be attaching too
much importance to these " explosive materials" of
Yankee excitability. But we look to the evil animus
with which they are scattered about, not to the im-
mediate amount of mischief they may be calculated
to work ; and we are of opinion that such indications
should be noted in time, however absurd their origin.

Madrid journals of the 23d have been received.
Troops had been marched in different directions, and
rumours of insurrections were prevalent. The
capital, however, was tranquil, and NARVAEZ was
evidently prepared for any outbreak. So long as he
can pay the troops—and he will stick at nothing, not
even forced levies, for :that purpose—he will keep
down the people. Should the military chest, however,
became exhausted, he will find the Praetorian cohorts
throw him off, as they threw off their favourite
General, ESPARTERO. The only news in the papers
is the announcement that a comedy by MARTINEZ DE
LA Rosa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, entitled
The Daughter at Home, and the Mother at a Ball, was
about to be performed at the Madrid Lyceum.
Upon the Madrid Exchange of the 23d instant the
Three per Cents. were at :251 for. ready money,
and at 261 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. were
not noted.

The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with the

affairs of Spain, the Liberal journals, in general,
denouncing the new Reform Bill, while the Ministe-
rial Globe and the CHRISTINA Presse speak of it in
terms of praise. But if we are to believe one of the
Republican organs, the National, that Bill is a mere
farce compared with the conditions to be imposed
upon the Spanish nation by his Holiness the POPE
and the QUEEN-MOTHER. The new compact has
been furnished to that journal by its correspondent
at Madrid. Possibly it may be founded on fact, but
as it appears in no other journal, and we have no
means of judging whether it is entitled to credit, we
give it without comment from the National. " The
Papal bull," says the writer, " arrived at Madrid on
the 10th of October. The envoy sent by his HoLI-
NESS immediately demanded an audience of Queen
CHRISTINA, in which he declared that before deliver-
ing the bull he was directed to demand of her MA-
JESTY a renewal and confirmation of the conditions
previously arranged for the marriage of Queen IsA-
BELLA with the son of Don CARLOS. These condi-
tions were accordingly renewed, accepted, and
signed. The bull was delivered on the 12th, and on
the 13th Madame MuNoz saw her crown of orange
blossom blessed by the Patriarch of the Indies. The
following are the conditions of the contract between
Queen CHRISTINA. and his Holiness :-
1. The legislative declaration decreed in 1834 during
the Administration of M. Martinez de la Rosa by the
Estamentos, shall be annulled ; and the first decree, by
which the Arsentual right of Dun Carlos and his family
to the Crown of Spain was taken away, shall be decreed
null and void.

2. In virtue of this official act, the property of Don
Carlos and of the Infant Don Sebastian, which was con-
tiscated, shall, with all the revenue derivable from that
property, be restored.
3. The marriage of Isabella 11. with the son of Don
Carlos shall be celebrated, and the Prince shall take the
title of Isabella Carlos.

4. Should Don Carlos choose to reside out of Spain,
he shall be guaranteed in a pension equal to that enjoyed
by Maria Christina, as Regent of Spain, namely, twelve
millions of reals (120,0001. sterling).

5. The Spanish nation shall acknowledge all the ex-
penditure, loans, and obligations contracted by Don
Carlos and his Government during the seven years of
war between the two rival Sovereigns.
6. All the titles, rank, employments, and honours
conferred during the same period shall be acknowledged,
and no one shall be prosecuted or kept out of employ-
ment on account of his opinions.
7. All equipments and other necessaries supplied to
the troops which supported the rights of Don Carlos,
shall be paid by the public treasury in the same way as
those furnished to the troops of Isabella.
8. The independence of the Catholic Apostolic and
Roman Church shall be acknowledged , ali the property
of which the clergy have been spoliated shall be re-
stored, and if that should be impracticable, the property
not sold shall be rest4,red, and an annual revenue shall
be given to the full value of the income of the property
of which the Church has been deprived, that property,
according to present calculations, amounting to 4,000
millions of reels (40 millions of pounds sterling).

The writer then makes the following comment on
this extraordinary document :
" You will now see the reason why the troops in Na-
varre were increased, in order, on a given day, to pro-
tact the return of the family of Don Carlos to Spain.
You will see why the disturbances at Alicant and Car-
thagena were taken advantage of to dissolve all the Na-
tional Guards of the kingdom, and why the disarma-
ment of the citizens has been made an article of the
Constitution. You will also see what has induced the
suppression of the paragraph relative to the sovereignty
of the people, and why article 48 was expunged, which
compelled the Queen to have the consent of the Cortes in
the choice of her husband; and also why article 54, which
decreed the decheance of Don Carlos and his family, has
been destroyed—an article pronounced in 1834 by the
Estamentos, then sanctioned by Marie Christina, and
now rejected by Madame Munoz. You will also see
the reason for removing from the Constitution the ar-
ticle which compelled the budget to be annually pre-
sented to the Cortes, for who could dare to present to
that assembly a document in which was included au in-
crease to the public debt of a ruilliard of reels to fulfil
the conditions of the infamous contract of the II th of
October ? If Martinez de la Rosa showed himself so
anxious to close the field of public discussion; if Narvaez
attacked the Deputies with a bayonet in his mouth; if
all these Seids showed themselves so bold and so auda-
cious; if it throws the whole of Spain into trouble and
alarm; if they wish to destroy from the foundation the
constitutional edifice, you will now comprehend the rea-
son. This inexplicable necessity is thus explained by
the projects which are already decided upon.
" And all this, be it known, and let the French press
repeat, is done with the avowal of the French Govern-
ment. Everything was arranged when Christina re-
turned to Spain. In the absence of the Chambers let
public opinion come to the aid of this unhappy country;
let not your liberals be under illusion, and let them not
be deceived by the deceitful calm around them. Counter-
revolution will not be confined within the Pyrenees; once
installed in Madrid it will soon reach Lisbon, and the
spirit which animates it will not stop there. The English
Tories do not combat it, they regard it with a smile ;
an embarrassment for us is profit for them. Conspiracy
is not local; it is European, and the first prize of the suc-
cess of this reaction will be the recognition of the nor-
thern Powers. I can therefore cry out to you with all
my strength, Tua res agitur.' "

The donstitutiortne/ gives no credit to the report of
a marriage between the QUEEN and the son of Don
CARLOS. "We do not believe," it says, " matters
are so far advanced. There really exists a desire on
the part of Queen CURISTINA, of the POPE, and of the
northern Powers to conclude such a marriage, but the
will of Don CARLOS opposes an impediment."
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :

- -
The Congitutionnel says—
"On Sunday and Saturday dispatches arrived, which
the Ministry has not thought fit to pubbsh. They were
relative to the state of Gallicia, and the movement of the
troops sent to prevent and put down the Pronuncia-
mientos, which threaten to burst forth in several pro-
vinces. According to our information, great agitation
continues to reign at Madrid and in the provinces. The
Captains-General of several military districts demand an
augmentation of force. The GovernmQnt finds it impos-
sible to strip Madrid, where there are, however, 25,000
or 30,000 men."

The Grand Council of Lucerne, on the 24th inst.,
after a warm debate, which lasted from eight in the
morning till seven in the evening, resolved to recal

the Jesuits, and intrust them with the education of
the people, by a majority of 70 votes to 24.

The Anzoricain, of Brest, states that—

" The Prince :de Joinville is expected shortly to visit
that port, Cherbourg, and Rochefort. The same journal
also announces that the •Major-General of Marine at
Rochefort has issued an order forbidding the officers of
the navy to wear mustachiuus or long beards." The
Prince himself is the most egregious offender in this
respect.
The Patrie says—

"We learn by express that serious disturbances have
just broken out in Gallicia."
It is stated, in a letter from Perpignan, that a mili-
tary cordon has been established on the frontier, to
prevent the further passage of refugee officers into
Spain.

EXTENSIVE FIRES.-:(THIS DAY.)
FIRE AT A PRINTING-OFFlCE.—Shortly before nine
o'clock this morning a very alarming and extensive fire
broke out in the store-room of 31r. Lewis, letter-press
and copper-plate printer, Finch-lane, Cornhill. The
utmost exertions wore used to stay the progress of the
fire, while messengers were dispatched for the engines.
Several of the London establishment, with a good party
of firemen, were in almost immediate attendance, but the
fire was not extinguished until a considerable quantity
of the stock was destroyed. Mr. Lewis is, fortunately,
insured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office.
FIRE IN DRISTRY-LANE.—Considerable excitement
prevailed amongst the inhabitants of this locality in con-
sequence of the discovery of fire in the lower part of
the house of Mr. Mitchell, baker, Wych-street, _ Drury.-
lane. In this, as in the previous instance, there was no lack
of assistance, and the engines quickly arrived from the
Farringdon-street and Chandos-street stations, but before
the fire could be arrested in its prcivress the shop and
its contents were completely destroyed. Mr. Mitchell is
not ir.sured.

MR. TEMPLETON'S CONCERTS.--The Carlisle Pa-
triot, speaking of a concert lately given by Mr. Temple-
ton in that city, says :—" Templeton is, in himself, a
host. He stands alone as the most accomplished singer
of the present day, and well did he sustain his European
reputation in I love her, oh! I love her;' and Still,
so gently o'er me stealing.' Mr. Templeton's voice
seems capable of every modulation that the human organ
can attain, from the most daring and inspiring to the
most simple and soul-subduing melody. 11. seems to
labour under no difficulty in the execution of the most
elaborate and refined compositions, or in the homely
phrase of every-day life. It is the perfection of execu-
tion, exciting even the sceptical professors of the art to
expressions of rapture."
One of the most beautiful lunar phenomena we
remember to have ever witnessed was visible here
(Brighton) on Satnrday evening, IN.tween nine and ten
o'clock. The day had been dull and cloudy, but the
evening was bright, and the sky nearly cloudless.
About nine o'clock, a light fleecy cloud passed over the
surface of the moon, which was immediately surrounded
by a halo of great brilliancy. Next the moon came a
large ring of pale light, becoming, at the distance of
four or fire diameters of the moon, yellow. This was
enclosed by concentric circles of all the prismatic
colours, quite as brilliant as in the solar rainbow. The
breadth, however, was much greater, each colour occu-
pying more breadth than that of an entire rainbow, and
the outer purple belt being still wider. This beautiful
appearance lasted about three minutes, during the pas-
sage of the cloud; and several times itfterwards, as other
similar clouds crossed the moon's disc, the phenomenon
was repeated. We ourselves saw it a second and a third
time ; the second time exhibiting lesi brilliancy, but the
third time, about ten o'clock, preciiely as we saw it at
first. The diameter of the halo appeared to be about
ten degrees.—Brighton Gazette.
Viscount Canterbury, the Bishop of Carlisle, and
the members of the Rutland family, have been placed in
mourning by the demise of the Rei. Thomas Manners
Sutton, who expired on Sunday last, at the Rectory,
Averham, Notts, in his 55th year. He was grandson of
Lord George Manners Sutton, great uncle of the Duke
of Rutland. He was subdean of Lincoln, and was pre-
viously a canon of that cathedral establishment, and
rector of Averham.

CAUTION.—A lady calling herself Mrs. Crump,
who with her son has been residing here some time, has
decamped, leaving her expenses undefrayed. The lady
is of middling stature, rather pretty, very near-sighted,
and wears spectacles. The son is not so tall, and has
peculiar dark piercing eyes. lie generally wears a very
Clark shaggy kind of coat, very long in the back, and no
buttons.—Brighton Gazette.

It is satisfactory to find that the accounts received a
few days back, that the negotiation with the Pacha of
Egypt for the acceleration of the transit of the mails
through that country had been unattended with success,
are contradicted. On the contrary, it is more than pro
bable that before this final arrangements have been com-
pleted to carry out most successfully the great object in
view. The Pacha's Prime Minister, Artirn Bey, had
acted most courteously to Mr. Bourne, and who was, at
the last dates, at Cairo, negotiating, on behalf of the
Post-office authorities of this country, and had with the
Pacha shown every desire to forward the object. The
subject of finning a railway to Suez was under attentive
consideration.

There are some symptoms of a want of co-operation
among the Scottish public to sustain the small note cir-
culation of that part of the United Kingdom. A sort
of foreboding is apparent that Sir Robert Peel will in-
terfere with the system, and that too with success. At
the meeting of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh
a few days since, the Chairman announced that
repre:entations had been made to Mr. Macaulay, their
M.P., of the safety of the small note system, and of
its beneficial working. The feeling, however, of Mr.
Macaulay appeared to be, as reported, that Englishmen
considered sovereigns better for circulation north as well
as south of the Tweed, and the lion. Member did not
give any sanguine hopes that opposition to the Premier's
plans of doing away with small Scotch notes would have
any effect. However, it was resolved at this, as well as
at other meetings, to take up firmer ground upon the
question, and to crush the project at its outset.
The private letters have just been delivered from the
United States and Canada. The weather had become
extremely cold in Canada, and there was every appear-
ance of an early and severe winter. In other respects
we do not find anything of interest in the advices. From
New York it appears that a good spring trade was ex-
expected, but business at the latest dates was not very
active.

In the British Funds to-day we have but a trifling
variation to notice. Consols for the Account have been
quoted at 100 and at 1004. For Money the more
current value has been from 994 to 1004. The
Three-and-Half per Cents. are at 1024, and the
premiums upon Exchequer Bills are at 675, to 695. The
Commissioners bought Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
at 1024, and Reduced Three per Cents. at 994.
The allotment of the Scrip in the New Belgian Loan,
bearing interest at the rate of 24 per cent., has been
made by the contractors, .Messrs. Rothschild and Co.
We have not heard of many transactions this morning,
as the subscribers have, in most instance; preferred
to hold as a beneficial investment. Nominally the Scrip
is at about 1 per cent. premium. Belgic Stock is at
1041, and Dutch Five per Cents..at 984.
Parties interested in Spanish securities have been
taken entirely by surprise this morning by the propaga-
tion of the terms upon which the marriage between the
Queen of Spain and the son of Don Carlos. For this
extraordinary information they were indebted to the
Morning Advertiser, which journal some few days since
announced exclusively that the preliminaries for the
marriage had been completed. What will be thought of
the debt of Spain, the amount of which is at present
unknown, kiving added to it the expenditure of the
Carlists, supposed to amount to forty millions of
reels, created during the seven years' civil war? The
clergy property, which has been sold; is to be inscribed in
the great book of the nation, thus adding enormously
again to the obligations, while even now the Treasury
has not an income to meet one-tenth of the demands
upon it. As no doubt the terms upon which this grossly
fraudulent compact has been brought about will be found
in another column of The Sun, further observations are
not necessary here. Of the feelings entertained in the
City upon the subject more hereafter. The market for
Spanish Bonds has been very heavy this morning, the
above arrangement not being at all relished by the
Bondholders. The Three per Cents. have been sold at
344, and the Five per Cents. at 231 For the Portuguese
Converted Bonds the only price this morning has been
524 to 524 ; for Mexican 341 to 344; for Colombian, ex
Venezuelian, 134, and for,Brazilian 864.
The Railway Share Market has not altered much to-
day, the Directors being principally engaged in the set-
tlement of their transactions in the Foreign Funds—this
being the account day. The latest prices for Shares are
annexed. The London and Birmingham, the Great
Western, the Midland, and the York and North Mid-
land values have advanced.

THE DUNGHILL COCK AND THE

DRUMMOND LIGHT.

" Mr. Drummond said a great deal of talk was made
about giving scientific information to farmers, but in hir
opinion the only important question for farmers WAS,
how to make a dunghill."—Speech at the West Surrey
Agricultural Association, Oct. 23, 1844, reported in The
Sun.
