our choice—PEEL IV Protestantism. Now or
never." These remarks, though professing to be
made in a spirit of calm, invincible confidence and
determination are, in truth, wrung out of the very
intensity of apprehension. The blind fury that per-
vades them is the bluster of the bully, who feels an
ugly consciousness that in the struggle which he him-
self provokes, he cannot fail to come off second best.
As expressing the opinions of the Orange faction, the
' passage is well worth notice; and not less so, as giving
utterance to the exquisite terrors with which that
faction is just now beset. It is plain that they foresee
their destiny, and that the prophetic handwriting on
the wall has not made its appearance, unob-
served by them. Like MARLOW'S Doctor Faustus,
on his last night, they now begin to count
their political life by minutes, and the agony
of their apprehension increases just as the sand in
the hour-glass diminishes. As a last desperate re-
source, they have taken to bullying; and as drowning
men are said to catch at a straw, so the Irish Orange-
men entertain a sort of faint, sickly hope that by
loud words and threatening gestures they may frighten
Sir ROBERT PEEL into the abandonment of his Edu-
cational Reforms. This is positively their sole remain-
ing chance, and as sure as night succeeds day, so
surely will it give way beneath them. Sir R. PEEL
knows them too well—is too well aware of their weak-
ness—to take fright at their blustering philippics;
but will pursue his course calm and unmoved,
caring no more for their noise than the fox cares for
the hissing of a flock of geese.

We have more than once had occasion to remark on
the harsh—and we might add, unjust—spirit in which
the Law, as administered by many of our Magistrates,
presses upon the poor and the helpless. Instead of
being their sworn friend and guardian, as;,--1). a
pleasant fiction of the Constitution it is presu.izliAo'
be, on whose humane and considerate inteipest
in their behalf they may confidently calcutabq w
assailed by the strong arm of petty local aahOriity:(it'
is often so strained and interpreted—arson to Ae,
letter rather than to the spirit—as tit-he 'their
oppressor—their bug-bear, whom they shriniefrom
with as much instinctive apprehension as the .lpwer
orders in the East shrink from him who is:supposed
to be possessed of the Evil Eye. Frequently_ in this
enlightened country has accommodating Justice been.;
known to smile on the delinquencies of the rich
and the influential, but seldom, if ever, has it
had other than a frown for the poor and the de-
fenceless. " That in the captain's but a choleric
word, which in the soldier is flat blasphemy," says
SHARSPEARE, who knew the workings of the busy,
practical world about him, if ever man did. Respect-
ability may do many things with comparative impu-
nity, which if non-respectability—that is to say, rank,
unadulterated poverty—were to attempt, it would
be forthwith subjected to the severest pains and penal-
ties. The " choleric word" of the rich deepens into
" flat blasphemy" when uttered by the poor ; as was
proved the other day, in a case where a passionate
gentleman, who had held abusive language towards a
poor man, was let off with a bland remonstrance,
while a cabman, who had abused a gentleman in terms
little, if at all, worse, was visited with a fine, accom-
panied—if we remember rightly—by a significant
reference to the tread-mill! Another, and still more
striking instance of this peculiar working of the Law,
occurred on Monday last at one of the Police-courts.
Several poor women were brought before the sitting
Magistrate, charged with the flagrant enormity of
selling fruit in the streets. In justification of this
heinous offence, one of the defendants urged that she
had no other means of support, and that " it was to
keep out of the workhouse that she endeavoured to
sell fruit in the Walworth-road." Another pleaded
that "she had five children dependent on her for
support," and asked " what she was to do, if pre-
vented from selling a little fruit by the road-side ?"

A third said that " she had a sick husband, and that
she tried to keep him and herself out of the work-
house by selling fruit, but that, if she was deprived of
the means of doing so, that must be their fate." And
a fourth observed, " I have no other means of gaining
a subsistence ; it is a very cold and harassing way of
getting a living for those poor people who, like myself,
are compelled to follow it ; but what are we to do ?"

To these unanswerable pleas the Magistrate coolly
replied, that " he was of opinion it would be a kind-
ness to many of those persons who obstruct the
thoroughfares by selling fruit, to commit them to the
House of Correction ; that it was an idle, lazy way of
living, and that those who pursued it ought to be made
to try and earn their bread by different means." It
is very easy to talk in this strain, but how are the
defendants to find other and more respectable means
of earning a livelihood ? Selling fruit in the open
air, in a rainy, foggy, inclement climate like this,
we conceive to be about the last resource of abject
penury, which has not been attempted till every
other expedient has been tried and failed ; and yet
the poor creatures who make this last desperate
shift for existence, are coolly told that they are guilty
of idleness and laziness, and are fit subjects for the
House of Correction I Yes, because they prefer
attempting to gain an honest maintenance, under cir-
cumstances of the most precarious, humiliating, and
injurious character to their health and comfort, to
subsisting by dishonest means, it is frankly intimated
to them that they are rogues and vagabonds, and that
if they persevere in such ungenteel courses they
shall be fined twenty shillings each ! And what,
pray, is the cause of this Magisterial anathema against
those who are found guilty of selling fruit in the
Streets, exposed for hours together to the fog, the
rain, and the bleak winds of November? They
obstruct the thoroughfares, forsooth ! So the poor,
helpless owners of fruit-stalls—who have existed as a
class from time immemorial in the metropolis—are to
tarve, rot on a dunghill, or walk off contentedly to
the House of Correction or a union workhouse, in
order that genteel and respectable pedestrians may
not be impeded in their movements on the Walworth-
road ! Verily, respectability obtains absolute freedom
of locomotion at a heavy—a cruelly heavy—cost to
poverty and destitution ! But no matter—perish all
the poor vendors of fruit in the streets, rather than
the thoroughfares should be obstructed ! So exclaims
the Law, as interpreted by the wisdom and humanity
of a Metropolitan Police Magistrate!

Accounts from Bayonne of the 16th state that
General ZURBANO had raised the standard of revolt
near Vittoria. According to other accounts, the in-
surrection broke out Logrono on the 12th, and ZUR-
BANO placed himself at the head of the insurgents,
said to amount to 400. The cry was, " The Consti-
tion of 1837—Long live the QUEEN, and death to the
tyrants !" Intelligence from Madrid of the 13th also
announce that several arrests had taken place both in
Castile and.Galicia ; and from other quarters we learn
that a general insurrection was anticipated ; so that
NARVAEZ has quite enough on his bands at pre-
sent. The troops at Madrid might for a time
support him, but those in the country are so ill
paid and fed, that they are ready to join any adven-
turer. The discussion in the Chamber on the Reform
Bill is entirely destitute of interest. Every amend-
ment proposed by the weak Opposition, had been re-
jected by large majorities. A long conference had
taken place between the French Ambrssador and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, but the result has not
transpired. It was generally believed, however, to
have reference to a communication from the POPE
about the sales of Church property.
The Three per Cents. sold for 27-a for cash, and 27i
at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 20 11-16 at 60
days; the Floating Debt at 64i for cash, and 654 at 60
days, and the Debt without interest at 6 3-32 at 60
days.

The Paris Commerce announces that, on Sunday,
the KING signed a royal ordonnance, convoking the
Chambers for Thursday, Dec. 26. The Opposition,
it would appear, are making preparations for the
session, and are about to form schemes for embar-
rassing and finally overthrowing M. GUIZOT. The
" Left," however, are determined not to join in this
system of tactics, as it could lead to no favourable
result for that party. The schemers are said to be
Count MOLE, M. DE SALVANDT, and some other
members of defunct Cabinets. " We would suffer
these intrigues to pass," says the National, "if we
thought they emanated from those impatient idlers
whose political views are confined to the possession of
office, and who imagine that public opinion ought to

higher quarter, and it is for teat reason that we wish
to say a few words upon it. For some days past,

there has been a party intriguing to secure the over-
throw of M. GUIZOT at the commencement of the
session. Some of Count MOLE'S friends are pre-
paring to present to the Chamber a Cabinet quite
ready to replace the present Ministers. It is pro-
posed to place Count MOLE at one extremity, M. iii;
SALVANDY at the other, and to fill the intermediate
space with some members of the left centre, such as
.MM. VIVIEN, DUFAURE, BILLAULT, PASSET, MATHIEU
DE LA REDORTE, &c. This mongrel Ministry would on
the one hand have the support of Count DE MONTA-
LIVET, who finds M. GUIZOT no longer good for any-
thing, and on the other the silent protection of M.
TRIERS, who is of opinion that the most superior actor
would be very soon sought for after the doubles' had
been made use of. But the difficulties are great.
First, there are amongst those men but few sympa-
thies. M. BILLAULT does not care to compromise his
future prospects with so fragile a combination. To
these embarrassments is to be added the attitude as-
sumed by the left side of the Chambers. It was be-
lieved that this fraction would be glad to be rid of M.
GuizoT, but their good sense has suggested to them
that it was the system itself that ought to be got rid
of. If M. GuizoT were to fall during this session, a
new Cabinet without vigour or without means of ac-
tion would find itself completely at the disposal of the
personal Government. The elections made under this
new influence would produca a Chamber similar to
the present. The system would consequently remain
the master. The Left' thought, with reason, that
they ought not to lend themselves to an arrangement
which would be sterile at present, and fatal to the
future prospects of France. They considered that it
would be more judicious to suffer M. GUIZOT to dis-
solve the Chamber, and to convoke the electoral body.
It is before the electors that the Left intend to plead
their cause, and their best auxiliary will certainly be
AL_ GUIZOT, flanked by his two journeys to Ghent and
`4:; 4.40 n don."
e same journal contains the following unjust
iii arks on the unfair policy of France
,towards

'"jf We have received a letter, signed by 24 Spanish
ofOcers, complaining bitterly of the manner in which
they have been treated by the agents of the Ministry.
Tliey also, like the brave Amettler, have been exposed
to...brutal violence because they attempted to regain
the:it. country! M. Guizot, it will be perceived, is con-
stStent. He makes himself the complacent auxiliary of
Narvaez ; the amenities of Baron de Meer tickle him
a4eeably. Every Spaniard that desires to go and
frankly oppose the reactionary party is in his eyes a
conspirator, who must be arrested and thrown into pri-
son. M. Guizot, however, threw open the gates of
France to those who were going, arms in hand, to attack
Espallero's Government, and when we reproached him
with favouring insurrection by such conduct, his jour-
nals replied to us, ' By what right can the French Go-
vernment keep within the kingdom refugees wishing to
if.,turn to their country?' Well, by what right does M.
Gnizot do it at present? Where is the law permitting
him to establish in so odious a manner the police of
M. Narvaez in France? But he goes further, and in
the hope of frightening the Spanish people, he speaks
like Louis XVIII. of another cordon sanitaire on the
frontier of the Pyrenees. This is only a wretched piece
of parade, for the Spaniards will do as they like in their
own country. If they rise up to overthrow the most
cirrupt and most foolhardy Government—if they inter
for ever the counter-revolution all France will rejoice at
it, and it is unlawful for M. Guizot, were he ten times
stronger than he is, to attempt the slightest interven-
tion in favour of the faction which now oppresses and
pillages Spain. This is what people must feel on the
other side of the Fyrenees, for it is an incontestable
verity on this side. Narvaez is most anxious, for his
own interests, to spread the report that the French
Government will come to his aid, but the French Go-
vernment has plenty of affairs of its own to attend to,
and will take right good care not to go and mix up its
interests with those of the Spanish counter-revolution,
for it is well aware that both might be brought to an end
by the same blow."
The Carlist Quotidienne, which is highly indignant
at the scheme for a marriage between the Queen of
SPAIN and the Count TRAPANI, makes the following
remarks on the subject :
The correspondents of certain Ministerial journals
announce, as a positive fact, the marriage of Isabella
with the Count de Trapani. They go so far as to fix
the place and period of the marriage, and even the title
which the person thus selected by the Cabinets of Ma-
drid and the Tuileries is, they say, to take. To believe
them, this union, so long announced, is to take place at
Valencia, and the young Neapolitan Prince is to assume
before the marriage the title of King, with the name of
Louis 11. Thus would disappear this condition of the
Queen's husband, which, it was said, flattered the childish
vanity of Isabella ; her husband would find himself a
King, not like the pretended King of Portugal, after
having given a successor to the throne, but by the simple
act of a family arrangement. This strange innovation
would in itself be quite a royal constitution, improvised
for a betrothal ; Isabella reigns in virtue of a usurpation
founded on a last will and testament, and her young
husband is to be a King in virtue of another usurpation,
founded on a contract of marriage, which would not pre-
vent his presenting himself as the successor of King
Louis I. Would not this be most strange ? We believe
that the King of Naples is anxious about this combina-
tion ; the Cabinet of the Tuileries approves of it ; and it
is hoped that the Pope, who is intimately acquainted
with the Count de Trapani, from the latter having some-
times visited him at Rome, where he was preparing the
way for the Cardinalship, will at once acknowledge a
young Prince whom he loves, particularly when he can
receive letters from Paris and Madrid, saying :—We
should have preferred the Prince des Asturias, but you
see that the entire nation rejects him by the organ of
their representatives. We doubt the Holy Father's de-
parture, in this conjuncture, from the policy of the mo-
narchical powers ; and, should ho do so, it would be with
reservations, which would destroy the political effect
that is hoped for from his consent. A poor and wretched
intrigue is this project of marriage, which will exclude
from the Government the three Princes, the sons of Don
Carlos, the eldest of whom will alone represent the mo-
narchical right, and the sons of Don Francisco de Paula,
amongst whom the Liberal malcontents could choose a
leader ! We could have comprehended a marriage with
one of Louis Philippe's sons ; it would at least have been
a usurpation a cheval ; but Count de Trapani's en sou-
tane is more than a fault, it is a folly !"
The Court-martial on Lieutenant BESSON, for the
loss of the royal steamer Groealand, on the 26th of
August, on the coast of Morocco, commenced, at
Toulon, on the 14th. It appeared, from the exami-
nation of the accused, that the vessel was quite new,
having been built about the beginning of the present
year, and that she went on shore during a thick fog,
as she was leaving Mogadore for Cadiz. Every effort
was made in vain to get her afloat, and the wreck was
finally destroyed, to prevent its falling into the hands
of the Moors. After examining the second in com-
mand, the Court adjourned till next day.
the following statements made by the Revue de
Paris, we trust, will not be forgotten, when the Bill
for solitary confinement in prisons again comes before
the French Chamber. We are only astonished that
civilized beings should listen to a scheme of such
atrocious cruelty :

" Practical experiment is not favourable to the peni-
tentiary system which Messrs. Tocqueville and Beaumont
have imported from America. That philanthropic
method has been employed in the prison of Senlis, during
only six months, and we have already to register two
suicides committed during the last three months. In
presence of those facts, we ought to thank the Minister
of Justice for not bringing up to the House of Peers the
project of law adopted by the Chamber of Deputies last
session. Now, when the discussion shall come on, it
will suffice, to defeat the schemes of the partisans of the
cellular system, to cite facts passing under our eyes in
the prison of Senlis and others, where the Pennsylvanian
system has been in use, and produced similar conse-
quences. Then the fate of the Bill shall no longer be
doubtful, and the exalted prudence of the Chamber of
Peers will certainly cause that ussembly to refuse its
sanction to the impressions de voyage of the philan-
thropists of the Ameriern school."

The Presse having published a letter from a
French seaman, named FAZIERE, dated Mazatlan,
the 12th of August last, and giving an account of
his having been flogged and otherwise ill-used, by
the order of a captain in the Mexican army, after
his arrest by the authorities, for a quarrel, in which
he had involved himself with two musicians ; and
the Presse having accompanied this letter with some
severe observations on the Mexican Government,
MAX GARBO, the Mexican Minister at the Court of
Prance, has addressed the following letter to that
journal :
" I have just read in the Presse an with) relative
to an outrage committed at Mazatlan, on a seaman named
Alexandre Faziare. You must permit me to add a few
words. As soon as the President of the Republic
had received information of the acts of barbarity com-
mitted at Mazatlan, he gave the most urgent orders that
the persons who had been guilty of them should receive
an exemplary punishment. The Baron Alleye de Cyprey,
in a note of the sth of September last, was pleased to do
justice to the sentiments expressed on this occasion by
the Mexican Government. It is further my duty to
rectify an error contained in your article. It was as-
serted, in the first instance, that Faziare, having become
a Mexican b 1 naturalisation, could no longe. r claim the
protection
forh
of t France,e

s e nationalityof
vh
ais nowhas,
however,
attempted to be established, in accord with the best
writers, is, that the official intervention of diplomatic
agents in favour of the subjects of their Governments, in
affairs submitted to the decision of the tribunals of the
country, can only be exercised in cases where there has been
a denial of justice."
The Canstitutionnel makes the following observa-
tions on the commercial treaty, concluded between
Great Britain and Brazil, in 1827, for fifteen years,
and subsequently prolonged to 1844 :
" This treaty will expire in a few days. The Cabinet

of London has done all it possibly eotild tC get it re- !
newed, but in vain. The new Brazilian tariff has been
1 in force for some days, and it will affect equally all kinds
of goods ; it is a measure most fatal to European com-
merce in general, and to that of England in particular ;
it is, above all, the result of the legislative enactments
edopted here, and on the other side of the Channel, re-
specting sugar. Bratil can. offer Europe, in exchange for
the manufactured goods which she sends out, only sugar,
coffee, raw skins, inlaid wood-work, and some quantities
of cocoa, threads, and tobacco. In France, foreign sugars
are cur-taxed rather heavily in the interest of our colo-
nies and our beetroot sugar. In England sugar produced
by slave labour is altogether prohibited. This has been
done under the mask of philanthropy, but in reality it
only serves as the prelude to the accomplishment of cer-
tain views of political economy of the Cabinet of Lon-
don, for, had it been adopted in the interest of the aboli-
tion of slavery, it would have been applied to all tropical
produce indiscriminately, and particularly to cotton cul-
tivated in the United States by the blacks, and consumed
chiefly by the manufactures of Great Britain. It is easy
to conceive that Brazil should adopt reprisals, when it
beholds its sugar rejected by the two greatest mar-
kets of Europe ; and France, not more than England,
has been able to renew the treaties of commerce which
she had concluded with that power, and which have now
expired. The German association is in a different posi-
tion with respect to Brazil. The countries of that Union
have no sugar colonies, and beetroot has not yet arrived
at such a developement amongst them as to require pro-
tecting measures. Therefore, it is not unlikely that the
Customs' Union will succeed in concluding the treaty
which France and England have in vain aimed at. An
envoy from Brazil is at present in Europe, to come to an
understanding with the Cabinet of Berlin ; and, should
the negotiations succeed, the new Brazilian tariff will be
mojified in favour of the produce of the Zoliverein. This
tariff is exceedingly elevated, and will be highly preju-
dicial t the commercial relations which Europe enter-
tains with Brazil. All fermented liquors are to pay an
ad valorem duty of 50 per cent., and thus the wines
and brandies of France are affected as well as the
malt liquors of England. Crystals and glass of all kinds,
plain amid coloured paper, fruits, objects of domestic con-
sumption, &c., are to pay 25 per cent. ad valorem. Che-
mical products, salt fish, iron and castings, tanned hides,
salt meat, steel, and tin, are to pay 20 per cent. ; linen
woollen, cotton, and silk manufaetures, 30 per cent. ;
and, besides these duties, high as they are, the Bra-
zilian Government has reserved to itself the power of
imposing a differential duty on certain articles
corning froth countries where the goods of Brazil also.
pay differential duties. These canditions differ widely
from those of the old tariff, and particularly from
those stipulated in 1827. According to that treaty, all
goods feel produce, natural or manufactured, of Great
Britain, or her Colonies were freely imported into Brazil
on payment of duties never elCeeuitig )6 par cent. on
the value. It is worthy of remark that sevefal attieles
of Brezilian production arc subject in England to duties,
much more elevated, when they are delivered for internal
consumption. According to the treaty, these articles
had no other advantage than that of being bonded on
the same conditions as similar productione of the English
colonies. here, it must be confessed, is a very coesiders
able change in position, and this innovation will be so
much the more sensible in England, that her exports for
Brazil amounted to 50 millions of francs a year. The
French exports, which in 1843 showed a special com-
merce of 18 millions, will equally suffer from the D9W
tariff. M. de Langsdorf has not been more fortunate
than Mr. Ellis, the English agent, and in this struggle
the Cabinet of Berlin will probably have the advantage
over its competitors. What Brazil particularly wants
from England are manufactured goods of wool, cotton,
&c., wrought metals, prepared skins, and fermented
liquors; Germany is able to furnish all these articles,
wines excepted, and she has already made some success-
ful attempts to accommodate several of her manufactur-
ing products to the Brazilian taste."

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The deaths
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 16, are un-
usually numerous, amounting to 1,072, greatly above
the average. The excess is chiefly caused by deaths
from small-pox and scarlatina. The deaths from the
former are 51—average 17 ; and from the latter 84—
average 45. The 51 deaths from small-pox occurred
at the following ages :—Thirteen under 1 year ; twelve,
1 to 3 ; thirteen, 3 to 5 ; five, 5 to 10; three, 10 to 20;
four, 20 to 30; and one 30 years. The list of violent
deaths is also very large, being increased by 25 cases,
which occurred in the districts of Greenwich and St.
Olave's, and which were registered only during last
week, though on many of these inquests had been held
at former periods. The bursting of a steam engine is
another cause of the increase. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or
Contusion, 21 cases, of which four were by horses and
carriages, 8 by falls, 1 by the fall of a hard body, and
the remainder by means not stated. Drowning, 9
cases, of which 1 was accidental, 1 a suicide; in the
remainder, juries have neglected to state, or could not
ascertain, whether death was accidental or otherwise.
Hanging, 1 case (suicide). Suffocation, 3 eases, of
which 1 was murder, 1 accident, and 1 probably from
accident. Poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were from ac-
•cident or mistake, and 1 a suicide. And Burns and
Scalds, 13 cases. Total, 40 males and 10 females (in-
ellusdBi.ng 1 case put to tetanus).—Fall of rain in inches,

LATER FROM AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNE6DAY NIGHT.

The fast-sailing packet-ship Oxford, Captain Rath-
bone, arrived here to-night after a rapid passage of
nineteen days from New York, whence she sailed on
the Ist instant. We have received papers of that
date, but they are merely one day later than those
previouslyfron e and contain nothing of import-
ancer thee United States, where the Presidential
r
election continued to be the all-engrossing topic. We
have advices from Kingston to the 25th, and Montreal
to the 28th instant inclusive. They contain full par-
ticulars of the elections then going forward, and ulti-
mate success appeared almost certain for the Govern-
ment party.

LATEST COMMERCIAL NEWS.
NEW YORK, OCT. 31, 6, P.M.—The stock market was
rather flat to•day, the sales very limited, and the quota-
tions below those current yesterday. Stonington fell off
per cent. ; Norwich and Worcester, 4 ; Mohawk, 131, ;
Pennsylvania s's, 1 ; Long Island, 1 ; Reading Rail-
road, 1 ; Canton, f ; Erie Railroad improved, ;
Illinois, ; Morris Canal, ; Kentucky, s ; Ohio 6's,
As regards the Foreign money transactions, we may
observe that the closing prices were very firm, with a
very moderate demand. A slight advance on the exist-
ing rates for sterling bills would start large shipments
of gold ; silver at present prices not making profitable
remittances. The exchange market seems to be in a
very strange state. The amount of foreign indebtedness
must be very heavy, and still we perceive the greatest
indifference about making remittances, and a determina-
tion not to submit to the present high rates for bill,.
RATES OF EXCHANGE.—On England, 101 ; on Paris,
sf. 20c. sf. 211.
ASHES.—Pots are very inactive at 84 184. Pearls
are steady at 84 25 a 4 311.
COTTON.—The sales to-day amount to about 800 bales
of which spinners took 200 bale,,, and shippers the re-
sidue. Prices continue in favour of sellers.
The inquiry for Cotton has been moderate, but the
market is quite firm.
