human prudence could anticipate, and which no human
wisdom or power could avert," it would seem as if the thoughts
which, at this time, waking or sleeping, must be uppermost in
a Cabinet Minister's mind, were struggling to force their way
into utterance in spite of the restraints which pelicy and the
genius loci imposed.
The chord was delicately touched, it must be confessed ;
but it was a chord to which every bosom in the room must
have responded; -and the proprieties of the place could alone
have saved Sir JAMES GRAHAM from a troublesome inter-
ruption, in the shape of a question, " What are you now
going to do ?"

The Cabinet have met,"and met, and met, and have dispersed
with no outward sign of a resolution come to, at a time when
famine threatens the land—and there:are already signs also,
of pestilence, which ever comes in famine's wake, and is now,
even anticipating the usual time. The City, where this,
though not the least, is but one of many causes of apprehension,
is in a state of fever and consternation. " Will the ports be
opened ? " is the question in every man's mouth. Till the
ports are opened, no man can say what will be worst; and
there is no safety for the monied interest. It would have
been difficult, then, for Sir JAmEs GRAHAM, in the City, on
Monday, to have chased utterly away the thought of the im-
pending danger; and we wonder that in the City, even
though the occasion was one of ceremony and common-place
he escaped questioning, exhortation, and remonstrance, from
the assembled bankers and merchants of London.

And yet Sir JAMES GRAIIAM might have wished to invite
expression of opinion, and may have gone back to Sir R.
PEEL disappointed that his delicate feeler had failed to
elicit a 'response. Beyond a delicate feeler he could not go.
The Home Minister has acquired some character in cunning;
and those who know but little of his past political life, know
enough to give him credit for no refinement of feeling to-
wards friends with whom he has differed. Of the course which
Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM have taken in the
Cabinet, there can be no manner of doubt. Common rumour
but gives to them the part which their known sagacity—in
Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT PEEL all the sagacity
of the Cabinet is pretty much concentered,—would ensure
that they had taken; and the Premier and the Home Mi-
nister have been foiled by the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord
STANLEY, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT. The Duke of WEL-
LINGTON has at last set up his back against PEEL, and Lord
STANLEY divides from the fidus Achates who followed him
from the Whig Cabinet, and shared, emulous of pre-eminence,
in his violent opposition to their old friends. We can conceive
Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S anxiety to lay before his audience the
course which he had wished, and the mode in which he had
been thwarted; and if released from all shackles, who would
have better pointed satire and censure against the choleric old
gentleman who has suddenly taken huff at not being con-
sulted by his colleagues, and determined to have his own
way, when to have it will be to ensure starvation of millions—
who would with greater effect quote (for he does not eschew
hacknied quotations)

" From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow ?"
Who would better describe Lord STANLEY'S capacities of
statesmanship, or with more withering effect paint the Pre-
mier, stung by a snake whom he had nursed in his own
bosom, turned upon and beaten by Mr. SIDNEY HER-
BERT, of whom, not twelve months ago, to all the world's
surprise, be made a Cabinet Minister? It is rather soon for
Mr. HERBERT to be playing his own game. He looks-, of
course, to he hereafter the leader of the Conservative party.
There is no Conservative of his standing at present likely to
contest with him future pre-eminence in the House of Com-
mons. But his young ambition wants curbing, if he thinks
to thrust' Sir ROBERT PEEL from his stool.

However, personal and party questions are as nothing
in this great emergency; and what we most lament in
the non-appearance of an Order in Council for opening the
ports, is that the Cabinet may resort to the alternative of
calling Parliament together to settle the question. It is not
yet too late to open the ports without Parliament. Time
has been lost, certainly_ Mr. COBDEN has only given vent
to natural feelings of indignation at another packet having
been allowed to sail for America without conveying a message
of peace and plenty. But the Cabinet may still determine
on an Order in Council; and better, far better, w ill it be that
they should do so, than that they should incur the inevitable
delay of party and personal squabbles in St. Stephen's, and
when, in a time of famine, more bread was to be had if the
Ministry were bold, and leave it to be said that party fears
and prejudices deprived famishing minions of food.

The Stock and Share market at the Paris Bourse on Mon-
day exhibited a more cheering and firm appearance than it
had done for some days. Shortly after the commencement
of business the price of funds and railway shares showed an
upward tendency, owing to more favourable advices from
London. About half-past two the firing of the guns of the
Invalides gave rise to a report that A.BD-EL* KADER had
been taken, and this gave an impulse to the market, which
continued till the close; when it was ascertained that the
guns had been fired fur the accoucbement of the Duchess
D'AUMALE, who had been delivered of a son. At the
close the Three per Cents. were 10c., and the
Fives 50c. higher than on Saturday, and in all
the principal railways there had been considerable improve-
ment. Parties, therefore, began to hope that the worst was
known. The leading articles in the Paris journals require
little notice. The Epoque, a Government journal, in refer-
ring to the visit of M. TmEns to London, and the reception
he met with, says, " the object of the ex-Minister's visit
was a reconciliation with Lord PALMERSTON, and an alliance
which lie thought might be useful to him." In another
article this journal replies to an article in the Constitationntl
of Sunday, in which high praises are bestowed on the Duke of
WELLINGTON at the expense of Marshal SOULT. This sud-
den admiration of the British General is attributed to the
pleasure felt at the kind reception given in London
to M. TRIERS, the patron of that journal. The changed tone
of that paper, with regard to England and Englishmen, is
certainly remarkable, and we are charitably inclined to im-
pute it to the best motives. The article to which the Govern-
ment paper refers is curious, and we, therefore, give it as a
rare instance of any French writer passing an eulogium on
the victor of Waterloo. " People have not failed," says that
journal, "to compare the situation in which M. SOULT is
placed, by the nomination of M. ST. YoN as War Minister,
with the position held by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the
English Cabinet, and this parallel will, no doubt, continue to
furnish a theme for the facundity of the Ministerial journals.
The less correct it is, the more they will persist in
reproducing it. Let us once and for all render justice
to this impossible juxta-position. The Duke of WEL-
LINGTON is a man of rare good sense, and of real poli-
tical capacity. Nobody, who has perused the volumi-
nous and remarkable correspondence of the Noble Duke,
will dispute his talents as a statesman. The Duke ofNV
EL-
LINGTON, moreover, possesses the prestige of success, an
im-
mense popularity, and the sort of adoration with which he
is surrounded by the high aristocracy and the people at large.
He is not only an important, but a necessary, member of the
Cabinet ; for he represents in it the High Church party and
the great landed interest, the genuine Tories, who, had it
not been for their extreme deference to him, would, perhaps,
have broken a long time ago with Sir R. PEEL, whom they
have sought to set aside. It is a dissension between the
Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL that at present pro-
longs the crisis caused is England by the corn-law question,
and the retirement of the Duke, as well as that of Sir R.
PEEL, would at once dissolve the Ministry. The Duke of
WELLINGTON therefore holds, and with good title, an impor-
tant post in the English Cabinet; and yet, notwithstanding
his fame, his popularity, his exalted station, and the neces-
sity of his presence, he is not, even nominally, the head of the
Administration. Sir R PEEL is not only the directing mem-
ber of the Cabinet, but he also enjoys the title of Prime Mi-
nister—he is above the Duke of WELLINGTON! How then
can any parallel be established between the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON and Marshal SOULT ? The real head of the Ca-
binet in France would be M. GUIZOT. Sir IL PEEL has the
title and the reality at one and the same time. Why is it
not in Paris as in London ? It is not the wish that is want-
ing, but the courage. M. GUIZOT dares not face his unpopu-
larity, or he cannot impose it upon his colleagues. That is
the whole secret of the pretended importance of the Mar-
shal ; he holds a place which nobody can fill."
The same journal states, that the Chinese mandarin who
concluded the commercial treaty with M. LAGRENE, has been
made a memberof the Legion of Honour.A letter has been ad-
dressed by a great number of the Bordeaux merchants to the
Chamber of that town, which contains much truth. They
complain of the new regulations in Russia respecting the
tonnage dues on French vessels, which they say will be very
injurious to French commerce, and add that the tariff of
France is the cause of these rigorous measures, :nd that it
places France in a permanent state of commercial hostility
with foreign countries.

The negotiations which have been entered into by the
proprietaries of two of the noblest bridges in Europe—the
one, perhaps, unmatched in point of combined architectural
beauty and soundness of construction, the other unrivalled
as a specimen of metal casting and workmanship, and the
spans of its three gigantic arches (a centre one of 240 yards,
and two side arches of 210 yards each)—are among the most
remarkable results of the present public patronage of railway
undertakings. The directors of two railway companies, pro-
jected on: a magnificent scale, are proposing to purchase
these bridges, with the double purpose of respectively
secaring a terminus to their lines at the most cen-
tral and important points of the metropolis, and of
continuing the London portion of their railroads unbroken
and uninterrupted over the mighty stream already traversed
by the grand and importaut structures in question. The sale
of the Hungerford Suspension-bridge, another structure well
entitled to occupy the hiliest rank in the class of engineer-
ing bridges to which it belongs, has been, we may say, just
completed. In each of these three cases the consideration
to be paid for the conversion of the structure to railway uses,
appears to be of a very liberal kind. For the youngest, in
point of age, the best bargain, in point of money price, has,
perhaps, been accomplished. But it must be remembered
that the Hungerford-bridge had already attracted a " cus-
tom" far exceeding t'he most sanguine anticipation of its sub-
scribers. It was, and is, realising returns upon the capital
vested in its elevatiion and completion that in a very few
years, indeed, would, have amply paid the whole principal of
the sums expended. -upon it. The other two concerns were at
once among the mPst majestic ornaments of our metropolis,
and the most shameful reflections on the supineness of our
public spirit and the timid niggardliness of the Government,
both of which wou'al have allowed them to fall into decay,
simply because, ha ving been in their origin private under-
takings, it was not considered expedient to mitigate the severe
losses which they had entailed on the spirited individuals
whose enterprise had produced them, by any such grant of
the national fureds, as the national reputation they had
achieved for us in. art seemed so well to merit. The lucky
accident of their being thus eminently available to one of the
most important objects of great railwayspeculations connected
immediately with London as a terminus, having thus realised
for their proprietaries a valuable, though final compensation,
we are anxioas that the public interests should have all the
benefit of the opportunity—rare as it is—of consulting them,
which railway directors will now possess, in dealing with
these remarkable acquisition&

No foreigner, who ever contemplated TELFORD'S stu-
pendous Southwark-bridge, or RE:,uft.E's glorious production
of Waterloo-bridge, can have turned to the view of
the miserable loealities which they immediately connect
on either side of the river without a feeling
of astonishment at the disparity between links so superb, and
the chains of motley or dingy quarters which they unite. It
is true, that on the Strand side, opposite Wellington-street,
great improvements have been of late effected. On the

Surrey side, from the Feathers to the Victoria Theatre, and
thence to the Obelisk or the School for the Indigent Blind,
to hew sordid a locale is this sumptuous Waterloo-bridge an
aditus. Then what a miserable and wretched suburb does
one enter, from the massive granite pavement, and the
noble superstructure raised on those iron arches
of the Southwark-bridge ! After such views of the

of government existing in absolute monarchies. The mo-
tives which must have led to such conduct form, however,
the more cheering parts of the prospect. Tuscany is go-
verned as a fief of Austria, the GRAND DUKE is Viceroy, and
the policy here displayed may be regarded as that of PRINCE
MErrEENlcit, whose prejudices have been greatly assuaged
by experience, and by the progress of constitutional govern-
ments. Revolutions and Parliamentary reform he begins to
see are not such dangerous movements after all, for France is
now the most peaceable country in Europe, and a Tory
Government can reign as well with a reformed Parliament as
under the old rotten-borough system. These repeated attempts
in Romagna to obtain redress of grievances cause un-
easiness to Austria for the peace and security of her Italian
dominions, and it is therefore her policy to induce the POPE
to place his institutions in a state which will afford no grounds
for fresh insurrections. But force, or remonstrances equal to
force, must be resorted to before the Holy Father will yield.
It is admitted on all hands that the Government of
the Church is the very worst in Europe, that the Cardinals
are a bigoted and generally a merciless race,
and that they still dream of the universal dominion
of the Catholic faith, and the return of those glorious days of
Papal power, when kings held the stirrups to the POPE, in-
terdicts dissolved the allegiance of subjects, and the whole
New World was claimed as the patrimony of ST. PETER. We
believe priests are incapable even of the slightest reform,
and for that reason, all countries where their influence pre-
vails are badly governed. It is hardly necessary to cite
Spain and Rome as proofs.

Accounts from Brussels have been received this morning of
the date of Tuesday, Nov. 11. On that afternoon the Cham-
bers were opened with the usual solemnity by the KING in
person. His MAJESTY'S speech, as given in the Herald,
is a very lengthy document, and almost as unin-
teresting as it is long. It states that commercial
treaties have been concluded with the United States and
with China. His MAJESTY describes the general situation
of commerce and industry as satisfactory. With respect to
the measures adopted to guard against famine, the KING
says :

" The agricultural interest continues to be the object of the
constant attention of the Go►ernment. The corn harvest has
been on the whole a good one, and although one of the
most ►aluable articles of consumption for the poorer classes
has been in a great part destroyed, the resolutions
which you have adopted during your extraordinary session have
already led to favourable results. They will alleviate the effects
of the visitation. and, moreover, afford the means of providing for
the wants of the operative classes, by encouraging useful public
works."

The following passage, relating to the formation of railways,
canals, and roads, will be read with interest by the ca-
pitalist :

" Ever since the national railways have reached the French and
German frontiers the conveyance of goods and passengers, and the
amount of the receipts, have rapidly and unceasingly progressed.
The results obtained this year have surpassed my expectation. Your
last session was distinguished towards its close by the vote of several
projects of railways and canals. The favourable reception given to fo.
reign capitalists has led to many demands for the concession of lines.
Some of those demands, after being examined, will be submitted
to your deliberation. In order to increase the means of affording
employment during the winter, the formation of ordinary and useful
roads will be zealously undertaken."

An amendment of the law on sugar is announced, and al-
though existing circumstances render some increase of ex-
penditure• necessary, the KING expressly dt dares that the
equilibrium: between the revenue and the outlay of the
State will be maintained, without requiring any new sacri-
fice on the part of the tax-paying public.

The Madrid journals of the 4th contain a variety of ru-
mours about the army and the forthcoming municipal elec-
tions, but no intelligence of the slightest interest. The
capital remains perfectly tranquil ; and, indeed, throughout
the province nothing like opposition to the existing Govern-
ment is manifested. Party rancour appears to be decreasing;
and, according to a journal published in the south of France,
most of the Carlist .refugees will be allowed to return.
"The Queen of SPALN," says the Memorial Bourdelais,"has
issued a decree, dated October 28, authorising the consuls to
deliver passports to all officers, non-commissioned officers,
and other persons of Don CARLOS'S party now in France,
permitting them to return to Spain, on condition that they
take the oath of fidelity to the monarchical institutions at
present governing the kingdom." Another account states
that this measure does not extend to any Carlist officer
above the rank of corporal.
The Bourse was closed on the 4th.

river—such views of the colonies on its banks are abso-
lutely humiliating. We do hope that, bearing in mind
these unseemly anomalies and painful contrasts, the Railway
Directors which have acquired the property of these bridges
will not fail so to arrange their new works, and to construct
their new termini, as to aflbrd as noble entrances and exits from
these bridges. Nothing will be more easy than, with but one
half the liberal outlay they have shown on so many analogous
occasions, to create, on this, new architectural vistas of an
interest and magnificence hitherto unachieved in the first
capital of Europe. Care should be taken, we further ven-
ture to suggest, so to manage and adapt the preliminary
designs as to keep them susceptible of ready and orna-
mental combination with the long-projected designs of
Sir FREDERICK TRENCH and others, for the embankment,
new quayage, and public walks, contemplated to be carried
along the north bank of the Thames from the Custom-house
to the new Houses of Parliament. We perceive that among
the prominent parties to these negotiations there is a gentle-
man as eminent for his spirit and munificence as for his great
wealth and enlightened enterprise. At the hands of so prac-
tical as well as enlightened a man as Sir L. GOLDSMID, we
heartily trust some proposition of this kind will not fail to
receive all necessary encourgement. We repeat that here is a
noble opportunity for embellishing the metropolis, such as has
not offered since the great fire of 1666, and for 200 years to
come may not offer again, under equally advantageous cir-
cumstances. We earnestly implore those who have the power
to improve it that it may not be lost.

The generous conduct of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to-
wards the unfortunate refugees who had taken shelter in his
dominions after the failure of the political rising at Rimini
must excite the warmest approbation in every country.
There may be exceptions, we admit, and even in free Eng-
land, for we have journals representing all shades of political
opinions, even those that have been extinct among the peo.
ple and their rulers for two centuries, and which flourished
in their vigour at Court when JAMES the FIRST was king,
and which brought his son to the scaffold. It appears that
the GRAND DUKE, from first to last in this affair,
displayed 'the same liberal and humane conduct.
The Tuscan Government, it is well known, had
allowed about a hundred of the refugees to pass un-
molested through the country, and the King of SARDINIA,
animated by the same feelings, allowed them to embark at
Genoa. Seven of the leaders, however, were detained in the
fort of Belvidere, at Florence, and of these two were the
Counts RAFAELLO PASI and FERNANDO VITELLONI; the
other five were also men of some note in the Legations. They
were detained on the representations of the POPE'S Nuncio
at Florence, who represented the serious consequences of
allowing these young men, enemies of established govern-
ments, to escape with impunity, and the encouragement which
his Ilighnesswould give tomal-contents in hisown dominions.
But all the priest's remonstrances were in vain, the friends
of liberty were allowed to retire to France, and the strongest
reproof was thus given to the Cabinet of His HOLINESS,
which appears to be the most despotic of all the instruments

" Whilst the commercial movement between Austria and
the states of the German Customs Union," says a Vienna
letter, " amounted to 68 millions of florins during the last
four years, that of Austria with Poland and Russia, in the
same period, including the very active trade with the repub-
lic of Cracovia, was only 10 millions. The commercial
movement of Austria with Turkey amounted in these four
years to 21 millions. It is to the rigourous prohibitory sys-
tem of Russia that we must attribute the small amount of
trade between that country and Austria.'
The new tariff of the Zollverein, as settled at the Con-
ference held at Carlsruhe, and which is to replace the old
one from and after the Ist January next, was published on
the 6th inst., and contains the following alterations :

" Articles added to the list of those which are exempted from
all duty in or out, viz.:--Living plants, in
pots or boxes; flax,
steeped or not, in the stalk or bundles ; bay, seeds, wool, menu-
factured from refuse. The entrance duties are increased upon
the following articles, viz. Whalebone not split into small
:
strips, and which paid an entrance duty of 17 florins 30 kreut_
zers per quintal. has hitherto been subjected to a duty of 521/2kr.
Henceforth none but wrought whalebone will have to pay the
abovementioned duty;
on the other hand stripped whalebone will
pay an entrance duty of sd. 15kr„ and cut whalebone 1711. 30kr.
the quintal. Articles of hardware which now pay an entrance duty
of 878. 30kr. a quintal, have added to them other articles of
finer hardware and half metals when connected with alabaster,
ivory, enamel, carol, lava, mother.of.pearl, shell, tine stones, imita-
tion jewels, and ether articles, which have hitherto paid an en-
trance-duty of 17d. 30kr. The same increased duty is imposed on
pins and needles, waxen figures, and false pearls. The entrance
duty of 1411. a quintal, hitherto levied on leaven compressed, will
be taken for all kinds of leaven, with the exception of yeast and
lees of wine, so that in particular prepared liquid leavens which
have hitherto paid an entrance duty of 52hkr., will hereafter pay
that of 14d. The entrance duties on roasted coffees have been
carried from 118. 221/ikr. up
to 19d. 15kr. The entrance duties
on sweetmeats and all kinds of confectionary, fixed at 19d. 15kr.
a quintal, will in future be also levied upon vegetables and other
articles of consumption for the table, and which are preserved
fresh by any artificial preens, uwell as upon all refined
meats. The entrance duties upon Tilt or silvered papers, and

upon papers with patterns wrought in gold or silver, are in-
creased from 811. 45.1cr to 1711. 30kr. a quintal. Ribbons of
half silk, which now pay an entrance duty of 9611. 15kr. a
quintal, will henceforth pay 1928. 30 kr., being the same as that
put upon silk goods in general. The most important of the new
iuties are those put upon woollen goods. Tissues made of pure
wool, or other materials except silk, as printed goods of every
description not fulled, goods if they are figured, tissues em.
broidercd or sprigged, shawls with borders sewn on to them, and
with patterns, articles of gold, silver, and other laces, and buttons
and embroidery which are not connected with works in iron, glass,
wood, leather, brass, or steel, will pay 8713. 30kr. the quintal;
cloths and other woollen stuffs fulled, felt not printed, hosiery, and
all other goods not fulled and without patterns, are to pay 5211.
30kr. a quintal; carpets 3511. the quintal. Reductions of,or total ex.
emptions from, duty, are grunted to several raw materials imported
for consumption in the countries of the Zollverein. Thus sul-
phur, which has hitherio paid a duty of 84kr. a quintal, aloes and
moss, which have paid 52i kr., gall.nuts, turmeric, and sumach,
which have paid 17i kr., have these entrance duties suppressed,
and the existing export duties are increased. The entrance duties
upon raw caoutchouc, and every species of resin, are reduced from
521 kr. to 17i kr. the quintal. A very important concession has
been made in the transit of merchandise through the south-western
countries of the Zollverein, so that, for all those on the left bank
of the Oder, the general transit duties are reduced from 52} kr.
to 35 kr. the quintal. At the same time, all the special duties
upon wool and cotton, and woollen and cotton and other tissues,
are suppressed."

A Berlin letter of the Ist says :—" The new tariff of the Ger-
man Customs' Union makes no change In the duties In the, different
kinds of thread, but the Prussian Government states that the
question of change is merely postponed."J
According to a letter from Rome of the 30th ult., the
Emperor NICHOLAS will arrive thither on the 18th or 19th
of the present month, and return to his dominions by Flo-
rence. On the 31st of October the Grand Duchess of Tes-
CANY was delivered of a Princess.

GRAND ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—On the 13th instant
(Thursday) the last eclipse of this year will take place.
It will be visible in London during the whole period, and
should the weather prove favourable, the sight will be ex-
tremely interesting. According to some almanacs it begins
at 9h. 57in., and ends at 3h. 41m. on Friday morning, the
middle being about half-an-hour past midnight. To persons
however viewing it with the naked eye the contact will not
be observed till about eleven o'clock, and the eclipse appa-
rently terminate at half-past two. Nine-tenths of the moon's
surfac3 will be immersed in the earth's shadow, or reckoning
the diameter of the moon 1, the portion eclipsed is equal
to 0-919.
