accused the Leaguers of " vanity, insolence, and i
brutal ferocity." But not contented with bespatter-
ing the latter in his leading article, the Post repeats
his attack on them in a letter from a correspondent,
which he heads " League Disinterestedness." In this
letter occurs the following passage :—" One would
suppose that it required more ifhpudenee than even
the Leaguers possess, to induce them to attribute
to their opponents merely interested motives in
protesting against the abolition of the corn-
laws. Why, Sir, are they not compelled to
confess—and depend on it nothing but compulsion
would induce them to confess—that this measure is
the only one calculated to rescue their mills from
that state of quiescence into which extravagant specu-
lation'and consequent over-production have reduced
them? Whatever virtues they may arrogate to them-
selves, and never were individuals less backward in
self-laudation, it does seem a little preposterous that
they should seek to add disinterestedness to the num-
ber." What sickening twaddle is all this ! The
members of the League never pretended that they
were wholly disinterested in their advocacy of the
principles of free trade. They are frank,
manly, intelligent men of the world, and would
scorn to be guilty—first as a matter of taste,
and secondly, as a matter of common honesty—of
such false, sentimental drivel. They have always
boldly and openly declared that by the application of
the doctrines of free-trade to the commerce of the
country, they themselves, as enterprising capitalists,
would be considerably benefited ; but that coincident
with their benefit would be that also of the commu-
nity at large. They have never asked for exclusive
privileges for themselves ; they have never agitated
with a view merely to their own interests ; they have
never sought to aggrandise the manufacturers to the
detriment of the agriculturists ; their demand
has invariably been for fair play to all parties.
"By knocking off the fetters that now cripple
the limbs t,f commerce, and abandoning a
system of protection by which one small section of
the community only is benefited, or supposed to be soy
you give industry, enterprise, and intelligence a rea-
sonable chance of success ; you multiply tenfold their
motives to exertion; you call forth powers that have
hitherto lain comparatively dormant, and open up
new channels of mercantile intercourse; and by so
doing, you diffuse the means of enjoyment to an ex-
tent of which no immediate conception can be
formed ; you diminish the worst horrors of
poverty ; you give ample work to those who now
cannot procure it; and bring content, happiness, and
prosperity to the poor man's fire-side." Such has
been the language invariably held by the members of
the League ; such the reasons which they have
frankly and boldly assigned for their agita•ion ; and
may Got speed the cause which is impelled by such
motives, and enforced in so enlightened and catholic
a spirit !

Rotation of Equestrian and Dramatic Spectacles, and unequalled

Fairy Ponies, &c. Mr. Batty begs respectfully to acquaint the
Nobility, Gentry, and public that, encouraged by the flattering
3uccess during the past year, and finding the Theatre not suffi-
ciently commodious for its numerous patrons, he entered into an
extensive arrangement with Messrs. Haward and Nixon, the emi—
nent builders of Lambeth, for the re-cons. ructing on a magnificent
and novel principle, the whole of the interior of the Theatre,
Which has been rebuilt, dress boxes enlarged, upper boxes widened,
and pit and galleries extensively improved Fourteen glass lustres
are added, acid a tirecian dome ceiling, with e:Airely new sp enc.id
classic decorations, and gorgeous apppArittnents, which, with the
ti,st.raie talent to be offered, he presumes cannot fail of obtaining
that support so liberally bestowed on his endeavours during the
last season. The grand Easter national Spectacle will combine all the
splendid historic.ll effects of the Notinan Conquest of England,
produced by Mr. W. D. Broadfoot. The Cirque Olyripique will in-
troduce uu quaffed equestrian talent, and the dou le company corn-
wise Wen' of the highest older.

Acting and stage-man.

Madrid papers of the 4th instant announce that
the KING of the FRENCU has conferred the cordon of
tha Legion of Honour on Senor GONZALES BRAVO
and three of his colleagues. If the statement is cor-
rect, certainly that honour never was so prostituted.
What have these men done to merit this mark of distinc-
tion? They have destroyed the Constitution, disbanded
the National Guards, put down the liberty of the press,
established military despotism, and sanctioned atro •
cities at Alicant which bring disgrace even on
Spaniards. Will patriotic Frenchmen, who regard
the Legion of Honour with veneration, consider its
value enhanced when shared with such colleagues ?
These papers, as usual, contain long accounts of the
movements of the two QUEENS. On the 4th they
left the Palace on foot, to attend the religious cere-
monies usually observed on Holy Thursday. The
process.on to the church was headed by a squadron of
cavalry, and followed by the municipality, the magis-
trite:s, certain of the foreign Ambassadors, and the
superior clergy. Count BUSSON, the French Ambas-
sador, walked by the.side of the QUEEN, the QUEEN-
MOTHER was accompanied by her youngest daughter,
and an immense crowd, says the Castellano, silently-
contemplated the salutary example thus given by the
young Sovereign.
The Bourse was closed on Holy Thursday. On
the previous day the funds had risen. The Three
per Cents. reached 364 for cash, and 38 at sixty
days; and the Fives, with the coupons, 23i at sixty
days.

On Tuesday the French Chamber of Deputies ap-
pointed two Committees to consider the proposed rail-
way lines from Orleans to Bordeaux, and from Paris
to Lyons. These Committees were appointed by
ballot, in order that lines of such importance might
meet with impartial consideration. This new mode
of appointing Committees was proposed by M. lIAviN,
with a view to prevent the influence of local interests,
and to obtain the choice of those Members who would
be most likely to look rather to the public benefit than
to the interests of particular departments. Much
discussion is expected when the report is made to the
Chamber, as a number of Members recommend that
Government should make the lines and then lease
them to companies, while others are decidedly in
favour of the English system, which leaves the con-
struction in the hands of private companies.
In the Chamber of Peers the Education Bill
was to be introduced on Friday, and the debate,
after the opposition made to the plan by the Church,
was locked forward to with much interest. It is
generally believed that the French Government in-
tend to bring forward a measure for abolishing slavery
in the colonies, and to appropriate a certain sum, said
to be 2,000,000 f., as a compensation to the owners of
slaves. Such a plan is extremely probable, as both
the Government and the Chambers have for some
years shown a strong disposition to put an end to
slavery in the colonies.
The following appears in the Moniteur of Wed-
nesday :
" Lieut. Reine, of the navy, who was one of the Com-
mission for insuring respect to the Protectorate of
France in the Society Islands, and who, since, has acted
as Aide-de-Camp to Admiral Dupetit 'Thouars, has
arrived in Paris. Ile is said to have bad a long con-
ference with the Minister of the Marine. It is believed
that he has brought and laid before the Minister nume-
rous documents relative to the late events at Tahiti."
We subjoin additional extracts from the journals :
" If faith may be placed," says the Sentinelle des
Pyrenees, " in a report which has acquired a great con-
sistency in the Basque Provinces, the Spanish Govern-
ment intends suppressing the customs line established on
the frontier, and removing it to the place where it existed
formerly, that is, on the banks of the Ebro."
" A letter from Tunis of the 12th ult. says We
have just received the visits of two frigates, one Sardi-
nian, and the other English. They came to inquire of
the French and English Consuls whether the Europeans,
Sardinians, or of other nations, had anything to fear
from the preparations made by the Bey to repel an
attack from Sardinia. After remaining a week in the
Bay of Carthage, the two ships sailed away again, with
assurances that the Europeans were in perfect security.
The camp of Mahommedia, three leagues from Tunis,
where the Bey is residing, is composed of 12,000 regular
and 15,000 irregular troops, brought from different parts
of the regency. The camp, which is under the com-
mand of a French officer, presents a picturesque spec-
