r slavery will appear there in all its horrors, and be spread
over every plain and along every river in that extensive
territory. It will afford one of the finest markets for
the slave-rearing states ; the trade for years will be in
the most thriving condition ; the planters in Virginia
and the Carolinas and Georgia will join heart and hand
with those of Texas, and, as a matter of course, look
with the utmost jealousy on the 800,000 ncgroes in the
British islands, enjoying all the blessings of liberty, and
thereby holding out an inducement for the millions of
American slaves to obtain the same rights and privi-
leges. Whatever course, therefore, the other European
states may pursue under present circumstances,
England has no choice. The crisis is forced upon her,
and those who thus wantonly provoke her to the contest
will not find her unprepared or backward in asserting
her rights. To her trade and commerce she owes her
great power. Her countless ships, manned by hardy
and skilful sailors, her extensive and numerous colonies,
and the constant flow of wealth into the country, all
spring from the same source, and England, therefore,
cannot stand aloof while another power is springing up
as a rival, with no concealment of its intentions, and
threatening to control her trade in the West Indies, in
the Pacific, and even the Indian and Chinese
seas. The north eastern states of America can
have no desire for such a contest as that to which
these endless and vast encroachments lead ; but, if they
have not the means of outvoting in Congress their most
dangerous enemies, or restraining them by force, let
them take the consequences. England must defend,
and in time too, at all hazards her supre-
macy at sea. The American Republic puts itself
forward as a rival—the most dangerous mari-
time rival perhaps that she can have, on account of
the largo commercial transactions in which the inha-
bitants are engaged, but still the danger must be met,
and it will be met manfully. There is abundance of
wealth and skill in the country, and no lack of stout
hearts and true to assert her rights and maintain
them.

all the successful candidates would be Ministerialists.
It was reported in the capital that the reply of the Court
of Rome to the ultimatum of the Spanish Cabinet had
been received, and it was not considered altogether
satisfactory. Rome, it is said, is willing to sanction the
sales of national property already effected, and the
Spanish Government, on the other hand, will restore to
the clergy their unsold property, and leave them to
manage it. Nothing of a very positive nature is said as
to the acknowledgment of the QUEEN. Accounts from
Valencia of the 14th announce that on the 12th a cor-
poral and four soldiers of the 25th regiment, implicated
in the late revolt, were shot in that city, and that
twenty-three other soldiers had been sentenced to the
galleys.
On the 15th (Saturday) the Bourse was closed, that
day being the feast of St. EuGENIUS.

We rejoice to find that the report published in the
Paris Quotidienne, giving an account of a horrible sacri-
fice of defenceless Arabs, similar to that committed by
the notorious PELESSIER, is totally unfounded. The
following contradiction in the Messager, a Government
paper, may be regarded as official. Indeed, we never
place any confidence in the Quacdienne, when the pre-
sent dynasty or the University is the party attacked.
" The contradiction to this calumnious statement," says
the Messager, " will be found in the Mon/teur of the 4th
September. It will be remembered that the reports of
Colonel St. ARNAUD were then published. A troop of
fugitive Sheahs had shut themselves up in the grottoes.
The investment of them was order. d, and afterwards the
attack•took place. Two of the seven openings of the
grottoes were closed up, the other five were carried by
force. The capitulation and sortie of the besieged soon
followed. It has been since ascertained that Colonel St.
ARNAUD did shut up the openings of these grottoes, but
it was after the evacuation of them, and in order to pre-
vent their again being made a place of refuge for the
Arabs, and a cause of danger for our soldiers." The
accounts from Algiers, even in the Government
journals, are most unsatisfactory. Nearly the
whole of the districts, once occupied by the
French troops, and supposed to be pacified or sub-
dued, have either thrown off the yoke, or are making
preparations for this purpose. Even the province of
Constantine, thought to be secure, has followed the
example, and in every quarter the French must renew
their conquests. The troops under BUGEAUD and LA-
MORICIERE have enough to do in maintaining their po-
sition in the maritime provinces, and all thoughts of
marching against Morocco are for the present aban-
doned. Instead of advancing, BUGEAUD is compelled to
think only of securing his rear. The Journal des Debuts
at the close of a long article, evidently written for the
purpose of preparing the public mind for un-
favourable intelligence, publishes a letter, dated
Constantine, Nov. 14, announcing the fact that the agents
of AnD-EL KADER were actively stirring up the native
population, and that all the troops in the neighbourhood
had been put in requisition. In the provinces of Algiers
and Oran affairs are in a very critical state. Several
tribes are in a state of revolt. BUGEAUD has been obliged
to change his whole plan of action, and, instead of advanc-
ing upon Morocco, is compelled to retire towards the
sea-coast, lest his rear should be compromised. General
LAMORICIERE is hardly able to keep his ground, and has
demanded additional reinforcements of cavalry. This
is a sad prospect ; but what else could the Govern-
ment and Marshal BUGEAUD expect ? An army of
200,000 men would not suffice to keep down a hostile
and all but indomitable race, scattered over such an ex-
ten,ive and difficult country. The following extract
from the Ahbar of the 13th, a journal published at
Algiers, is a specimen of the intelligence from that
quarter:—
" Abd-el-Bader displays an unexampled activity. His
emissaries and courtiers are on all the roads, some spreading
false news, the others carrying letters to keep up the zeal of
the secret partisans of the insurrection, or to gain new ones.
But such missions are dangerous, and they who undertake
them expose themselves to all the severity of the laws
against spies. Abd-el. Rahman Ben Nekrouf found this out
to his cost. He was convicted of having taken two letters
from the Emir, one to Sid Humel Ben Sekal, Caid of Ain-el-
Hont, and the other to Hadji Ben Ali, Captain of the Native
Militia. He was hanged on October 11, on the Place du
Mechour, at Tlemcen, in presence of the natives who had
come in with their goods to market, and on whom this seve-
rity will no doubt produce some effect."
Several of the Opposition journals give gloomy ac-
counts of the effects produced by the panics in the Paris
Stock and Share market. "The critical state of com-
mercial affairs," says the Commerce," displays itself in the
departments by failures which cast ruin around them,
and throw the consequences of individual catastrophes
en whole populations. At Paris, jobbing has arrived at
such a point at to render all fortunes as precarious as
edifices built on a quicksand. The Cabinet will have to
render an account of what it could have done, and what
it has not done, to conjure away the evil. The adjudi-
cation of the Northern Railway has much contributed,
by the manner in which it was conducted, to the disas-
ters now passing before our eyes. The Chambers
wanted to establish a real competition, and the Ministry
has done all it could to prevent it. By encouraging the
companies to amalgamate, it violated the spirit of the
law : it gave birth to these enormous premiums, the
settlement of which at present makes such innumerable
dupes, after having at first enriched a few knowing
fellows."
The France is still more desponding :—" The money
market of Paris is in the most dreadful consternation.
At each moment some new disaster is announced at the
Bourse. Speculators, or rather jobbers, who only a day
or two ago were operating on enormous amounts of ca-
pital, have been ruined all at once. To all these dis-
asters must be added the flight of an agent-de-change,
leaving to his associates in the parquet the care of set-
tling the immense operations engaged in by him.
Strong apprehensions are also entertained that other
members of the same body will be obliged to demand
temporary aid from the Syndical Chamber. These facts
are too deplorable not to excite the indignation of
all honest persons, who, like ourselves, have condemned
the recent disorderi, caused by the immense amount of
jobbing that has been going on. When the frenzy of
speculating in railroads seized on the public mind it was
easy to foresee what has happened. This immense con-
centration of capital of all kinds on the same object must
bring on a state of plethora, a superabundance of capital
in speculation, the depreciation of which, and a heavy
fall in the marketable value, were the melancholy con-
sequences. This necessary fatal march of events the
Government alone would not see, or rather it did not
deign to pay attention to it for a single moment," The
Presse, %ith its usual impartiality towards this country,
attributes all the mischief to the English capitalists,
who withdrew their money for the purpose of realising
profits.
The afollowing letter from St. Malo, dated the 17th,
appears in some of the journals :
" This morning a writing was found posted up at the corner
of our fruit and vegetable market, calling upon the populace
to assemble and set fre to the houses of M. Hovius, the
mayor of the town, and M. Louis Blaize, formerly deputy,
accusing them of the cause of the increasing dearness of
bread by their large exportations of black wheat. Yester-
day a company of the 71st regiment of the line was marched
in quick time to Dinan, where a numerous body of the
people had intercepted the passage of the Rance, by
the channel with enormous blocks of stone.
The gendarmerie and the troops sent from this town
being found too weak, and two of the gendarmes
having been seriously wounded by the stones thrown
at them, fresh reinforcements became necessary-, and two
companies of the line were seat for from St. Brion; and
we learn that a battery of artillery has been dispatched, in
all haste, from Rennes. Wit hear, however, that the riot has
been renewed to-day, and that bodies of people from Broons,
lieckerel, and even St. Malo, have gone to join those of
Milan. A highly respectable merchant, M. Paul Robert, is
said to have had ono of his arms broken, and to have received
other severe ill treatment. The authorities, however, are
able to enforce the laws, and through the firmness and courage
of the Procureur-du-Roi, several of the most forward among
the rioters have been arrested. The same disturbances have
occurred along the whole coast of Lower Brittany, black wheat
being the only resource of the poor in seasons when the
growth of potatoes fails."

We have risen with feelings of pain and melancholy
from the perusal of the:proceedings of the " Yeovil and
Wincanton Agricultural Protection Society." It would
seem from the report of these proceedings, which are
given with the most praiseworthy minuteness in the
Sherborne Journal, that all public men of the Conserva-
tive party are false and traitors, except (and the excep-
tion only proves the rule)—except MILES.
" Amongst the faithless faithful only he" (MILES)
alone stands true to his promises, and has deceived
neither Yeovil nor Wincanton. Though we are not
Conservatives, we are Englishmen ; and we blu'h to
read of such political depravity in a great party in our
country, and that the party which holds the reins of
Governmeat, and almost doubt whether we should give
it more publicity.
Yet is it always best to know the worst ; and we will
therefore not refuse to chronicle the fact that when the
" Yeovil and Wincanton Agricultural Protection So-
ciety" held their (this year's) anniversary meeting, both
the Members for West Somerset refused to attend.
Mr. BICKHAM ESCOTT, formerly a sure card at Somer-
setshire protection dinners, no longer figures among the
performers (he is now expected to come out at the next
Covent-garden meeting of the League)—and MILES was
not there either in person, but was undoubtedly present
in spirit, and was the only Somersetshire senator who
gave a civil reply to the invitation to the dinner. To be
sure, there was a special reason why MILES should be
civil ; for the "Yeovil and Wincanton Protection Society"
are determined to fight the League in the Registration
Courts, and if the League are determined to oust MILES,
they are as determined to keep him. A letter was read
from MILES, which is one part of the painful picture :
" I need, I hope, scarcely say that in the decided views of
the society I most cordially concur; and think that if its
formation was necessary last year to oppose the overt acts of
the League, it has now a more difficult task to play in con-
firming wavering friends, and confronting and putting down
three, who (having been chosen at the last general election as
farmer's friends) hare made use of the power so conferred
upon them to betray the interests committed to their charge."
Strong language, Mr. MILES; but not too strong for
the meeting. The report says that the letter was
greeted with loud cries of "Capital," and " That's
friendly." And who are these foul traitors ? Unfor-
tunately-, no doubt is left on this point. First, there
are Mr. ACLAND and Mr. DICKINSON, the Members for
West Somerset: they both declined to attend the meet-
ing:, or to have anything to do with " Protection So-
cieties." See what one'of the speakers, Mr. BLANDFORD
(whose name ought to be Bland-word), says of them:—
" Now for the Members for the western division.—(Cheers
and derisive laughter.) They rarely met them, and never
served them.—(Great cheering and laughter.) Where were
they?—(A voice, Not here.') This was not the first
meeting they had had since this society was formed. Had
not they frequently had, he might say, paltry excuses from
them.—(lmmense cheering and 'Bravos.') The time had
come when they must not flinch ; and if their Members did
not serve them, they must ;endeavour to select those who
would.—(Renewed and loud cheering.)"
After this, the Chairman was either a very bold or a
very wicked man to give the West Somersetshire Mem-
' hers as a toast. We suspect it was wickedness in the
Chairman, who said—
" Allow me to give you, with gratitude for their services, the
Members for the western division of the county.—(Loud
shouts of No, no,' laughter and confusion.)
" Sir A. Hood rose—Gentlemen, I'm sure you'll be generous
—(Renewed cries of ' No, no, we won't have them,' &c., and
increased confusion, amidst which the Chairman rose and
gave the ' hips.') Some thirty gentlemen rose with him,
but the great body of the farmers remained sitting. Two or
three cheers were given, mixed with notes of disapprobation,
and at last the hisses grew so powerful that those who were
standing resumed their seats, and the Chairman significantly
said—' We shall be obliged to the gentlemen vocalists for a
song.' This good-natured effort to turn the attention of the
company elicited loud cheers and laughter, and apparently
restored general good humour.
" Song—' The Flaunting Flag of Liberty.'
And deeply must Messrs. ACLAND and DICKINSON now
rue the day when that flaunting flag seduced them. We
pass on from them to Lord ASHLEY. Is he, too, a
traitor ? Then many will say, there can be no character
left in the country. Virtue must have taken wings and
flown. But so it is. The Yeovil and Wincanton pro-
tectionists even impeach Lord ASHLEY'S veracity. No
less than three of the speeches have a fling at him.
"Lieutenant Steele— He lived in a retired part of the
county represented by a Noble Lord, who had recently sent
a letter to the papers, which he might say had not given him,
for one, any great satisfaction. He hoped to meet with that
Noble Lord face to face, as he now met that company; and
he hoped to have the satisfaction of hearing from his lips
some better explanation of his conduct than he had given in
that letter.

" The Chairman—Might he allude to the letter that had
been addressed by the representative of Dorsetshire to his
constituents. Ile had said (he might be stopped if not
quite correct) that he had made terms, compromised, com-
pounded— (A. Voiee--‘ No, no')—or something to that
effect.

" Mr. Pope—Reference had been made to the letter of Lord
Ashley ; it was with considerable regret that he had read
that letter, inasmuch as it first conveyed to hint the intimation of
a requisition haring been signed. He had made many in-
quiries, and had not yet heard any one who knew anything
about the requisition; but let him observe this, that an affir-
mation of any statement by Lord Ashley was sufficient to
make it a fact."

We cannot go so far as Mr. PoPE. There either was
a requisition or there was not. If there was not, Lord
ASHLEY'S saying that there was will not make a requi-

sition to satisfy us. Mr. POPE'S statement seems con-
clusive as to there having been no requisition. Lord
ASHLEY'S letter asserted that there was. Alas! fer
poor human nature.
Mr. SANFORD, th 9 former Whig Member for West
Somersetsbire, a Whig but a protectionist, unchanged
while his Tory opponents have veered from protection
formerly opposed by Mr. BICKHA3I ESCOTT as a greater
protectionist than hirnslf, turned out at the last
general election by Mr. DICKINSON, spoke on the occa-
sion, and was entitled to indulge in a little self gra-

,ulation

" Ile had felt in these days of unhappy and lamentable
changes,—changes, some from conviction, some from a de-
sire to be attached to a political leader, and some for not so
high an object, the gaining of a little notoriety—(Hear, hear,
and cheers)—he had felt it to be his duty to come some
little distance for the purpose of being present among them,
to prove that among some people there were no changes,
and to prove that these opinions which he entertained in
former rars he still maintained.—(Cheers.). . . . They
knew, and he bad himself beard the Premier's words, for he
wag sitting opposite to him, that Sir R. Peel had said, I
will not put into the lottery of legislation for the purpose of
getting a better corn-law than now exists.' A few short
months, not a year, elapsed, and he did put into the lottery
of legislation, and they (the farmers) bad not drawn the
prizes but the blanks."
Even if Mr. SANFORD were not I? Whig, we should
have preferred him, as an honest protectionist, to a
shuffling Peelite; and the farmersaof West Somerset-
shire now lament the day when they substituted DicKIN-

The following are miscellaneous extracts :
"Letters from Brussels of the 20th state that-M. Nothomb
was that morning struck with two fits of apoplexy, and that
his life was in imminent danger.

" A Brest letter represents that port full of activity, orders
having been received to prepare for sea three gun-brigs be-
lieved to be destined for La Plata. A battalion of marines
and two companies of artillery are also about to be embarked
in the frigates Syrene, Proserpine, Caravane, Isere, and
Loire, to the Antilles, the garrisons of which they are to re-
inforce. The ships of the Senegal squadron are waiting only
for fine weather to take their departure. The Phoque has
returned considerably damaged by the weather that she had
encountered. The repairs of the Caiman are nearly finished,
and the Jupiter, Captain Lugeol, of 80-guns is being fitted
for sea.

SON for SANFORD. And West Somersetshiro is not a

singular case. There are other counties which, at the
last general election, sent Whig gentlemen into retire

" The Constituticnnel, in mentioning the failure of M.
Falcon, one of the agents de change, says that his deficit
amounts to about 100,000/, and that of that sum Queen
Christina of Spain is the sufferer to the extent of 48,000/.
It afterwards contradicts the paragraph in these words:—
`We understand that a Spanish lady, Mme. F., is, in fact,
compromised in the late failure on the Bourse for a sum of
1,200,000 francs. Queen Christina is not concerned in the
affair, and her name was used without good foundation.'
" By a letter from Alexandria we learn that, in conse-
quence of warm remonstrances against the Dacha's ordon-
nance prohibiting an exportation of corn from Egypt, the
European Consuls have delivered a note to the Viceroy's
Government,demanding either a reimbursement to the mer-
chants of the full amount of the sums they had paid for cern
previously to this decree, or that they might be allowed to
export what they had actually purchased.
"Letters from Ancona, of the 14th instant, state that some
English merchants having made large purchases of grain in
that place, the public are in a state of great alarm, and are en-
deavouring to get the exportation stopped. At Rimini the
people are also in a state of commotion and attacked some
vessels in the harbour, loaded with grain, which they obliged
the owners to discharge.
"The National and the Presse publish reports of an inter-
♦iew between the editors of both papers touching a chal-
lenge. A Monsieur Denuneques, who fought M. de Girardin,
of the Presse, once before, presented himself at the office of

ment for Conservatives, then calling out loudly against
Lord Jour; RUSSELL'S eight-shilling Sxed duty, but

since steadily following PEEL against protection ; and,
having thus strengthened Sir ROBERT PEEL'S hands
against themselves, they will have, many of them, to
thank themselves at the next general election for a state
of things in which they can return neither Peelites nor
Protectionist Whigs, but will have to submit to being
represented by total, immediate, and unconditional free-
traders.

We have received Madrid journals of the 16th. The
Gazelle of the 15th contains two royal decrees—one
appointing • PEREZ DE CASTRO Vice-President of the
Council of State, and the other nominating eighteen
additional members to that body. According to the
Government papers, the new election to supply va-

ceeding favourably ; and it was anticipated that nearly

visited Sir Robert Peel this morning at his residence, in
Whitehall-gardens.
Lord Stanley is expected to arrive in town this even-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The salea of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000
bags, one-half being on speculation. The market was steady
at the previous quotations.
There are later accounts from the Cape of Good Hope this
morning. The Governor had forwarded a very satisfactory
minute to the Legislative Connell of the finances of the co-
lony. The South African Advertiser states, with reference to
this document, that " taken in all its bearing, this budget
reflects the highest honour on the present Administration—
en its talents, its activity, its uprightness, and its enlightened
benevolence."
This is most assuredly as high a compliment as ever was
paid to any representative of her Majesty. A few of the
more prominent paragraphs in this valuable document are
worth quoting. His Excellency states,—
" My necessary absence on the frontier has prevented me
from submitting to you the estimates of the revenue and
expenditure for the year 1846, till this late period of the
present year.
"It is very gratifying to me to announce to you, that on
the 31st December the colony will be out of debt.
"For the year 1846, the revenue is estimated at 178,5034,
and the expenditure at 161,3421. 13s. sd.
" I am happy to inform you that since the abolition of the
Port Dues, the increase in the Customs' Revenue has fully
compensated for the actual loss of them ; and other advan-
tages have accrued to the colony in the inereased amount of
shipping which has visited its ports."
The Minister states that the guano trade ha caused 215
ships, of 60,583 tons in the aggregate, to enter the port. An
increased grant of money was proposed for the purpose of
extending education. The accounts from Cape Town are to
the 18th September last. From the frontier there is not any
accounts of interest by the present arrival.
There are late advices from Sydney to-day, viz., to the
26th July, but they contain little information of interest.
The value of sheep had been rather improved. Trade was
ether slack.
By this opportunity further accounts have come to hand of
the last conflict between the British troops and the New Zea-
landers. Preparations had been made for a fresh attack, and
with more precaution, it would seem, than before. The
Chief, Heki, had received a wound in his leg by a ball,
and being unskilfully prescribed for was placed all but hors
de combat. About 600 regulars and 150 of the militia were
in the vicinity of the hostile natives ready to resume hosti-
lities.
The intelligence from Van Dieman's Land states that
there were from 100,000 to 120,000 bushels of grain of the
last harvest ready for exportation, being the surplus over
and above what would be required for consumption and for
seed for next harvest. The Port Philip advices that have
come to hand to-day lay, the colonists were at fever heat in
consequence of regulations that had been sent out as to
how squatters were to be dealt with in future.
There is an improved demand for the Public Funds this
morning. Consols for the Account have advanced from 951,4
to 951 A, and for the Transfer to-morrow, from 954 to 954.
The panic in the Money-market appears to have subsided
very considerably. Exchequer-bills opened firmly at 275.
premium, but aro now a fraction lower. The 'three per
Cents. Reduced have been in request at 941,, and the
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 964 5,;. India
Stock has advanced to 264, but Bank Stock has been sold at
a decline to 2041/2. The gloomy state of the Railway Share-
markets in the provinces, in Ireland, and on the Continent,
acts very materially in preventing an upward movement in
the British Securities.
In the Foreign Funds not much business has been trans-
acted. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have improved
from 581 to 59k, while the Four per Cents. have receded
from 93i to 92k. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have
fluctuated from 56 to 57i. These variations show the ex-
citable state of the market for securities at the present period.
Brazilian Five per Cents. are at 80 ; Danish at 86i ; Mexican
has advanced to 30 ; Spanish at 281 %, and the Deferred at
