tension of the trade, and espcially the relief of the con-
sumer, by making the commodity more cheap in our
own market, it is true, indeed, as the Noble Lord re-
marked, that they were assailed by Sir ROBERT PEEL
and his friends with every species of remonstrance and
misrepresentation. They made that question the field
of a pitched battle. They beat the Whigs upon it, and
trode over their defeated adversaries into power. In
power they soon found themselves obliged to resort to
the very extent—and something beyond it—of remodel.
ling the sugar duties, which bad been unsuccessfully
attempted by their predecessors. But they produced
that absurd scheme of Mr. GLADSTONE'S only, which
has so signally failed, and generated these new demands
and pretensions into the bargain. Mr. GLADSTONE
made on Tuesday evening a melancholy rally to fight
for this crotchet ; but it was an utter failure.

The question remains—since sugar, so far from being
permanently cheaper to the home consumer by reason
of anything that Sir ROBERT and Mr. GLADSTONE have
done, as to be already one penny per lb. for loaf dearer
in our ri.tail shops (being largely bought up by dealers
from Gerinaziy) ; since it is impossible to keep out slave-
grown sugar (the attempt at excluding which, however,
is the sole pretext ter keeping sugar so dear as it is in
our own market)—what is to be done to rectify so pre-
posterous an anomsly, and to relieve the public from so
unreasonable a hardship ? Is it worth n hile consider-
ing whether it would not be well to abandon any such
impracticable distinctions between slave and free labour,
admit the product of all countries under what regulatiGes
you may determine, and trust for the better repression
of the slave trade to the increased vigour with which the
zealous and effectual co• operation of France will enable
you henceforth to carry out that great object.

Madrid journals of the 9th have been received, and it ap-
pears from nearly the whole of them that the QUEEN'S jour•
ney to the Basque provinces is looked upon with strong sus-
picions in the capital. The Eco del Cmnmercio states that in
many of thelffovincial towns the same feelings prevails, and
that the public consider the object of it is to force a KING on
Spain in the person of CHARLES VI. (the Prince of As-
TURIAS). The Clamor Publico says the journey will prove
fatal to liberty, and both the Tiempo and the Heraldo,
organs of the Moderado party, contain articles recom-
mending that her MAJESTY should bestow her hand
on a son of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA. This indeed
appears the least objectionable match, both as regards Spain
and foreign Powers; but Queen CHRISTINA, and also some
people at Paris, may have different views. A great intrigue
is in active operation. The intelligence from Barcelona is to
the 10th. The opposition to the conscription had been put
down by military force, and we regret to say not without
considerable loss of life. A dispatch from General CoNciut,
dated Sabadel the Bth, states that he had completely beaten
and dispersed the rebels, killed twenty men, and made a
great number of prisoners. The next day he was to proceed
to Tarrosa, which he entered on the morning of the 10th. A
letter from Barcelona of the 10th gives the following account
of his entry into that town :
" General Concha, on arriving yesterday morning at six
o'clock before Tarrosa, received a discharge from the guns of the
insurgents, which wounded several of his men. General Concha
himself was at the l?.act of the troops, and his humane orders were,
6ln advance, no quarter!' The soldiers immediately charged the
barricades at the point of the bayonet, and took them, and massacred
every one whom they met, whether they opposed them or not.
Upwards of 100 persons were killed on the side of the insurgents
before mid-day, In the afternoon the firing continued, but
the number of victims is not yet known. General Concha
is master of the town, and this morning he marched upon
Martonell, a town situated on the Llobregat, nine leagues
from Barcelona, where the insurgents have taken refuge.
During the night Villafranca, a town on the road to Tarragona,
pronounced, and the inhabitants have set the bells a ringing, to
rouse the country. On the other hand, the town of Igualada,
which is situated on the route to Lerida, has also pronounced, and
has formed a junta, which takes the name of the Central Junta,
and acknowledges Espartero as Regent.

Later accounts, however, have been received by a tele-
graphic dispatch, dated Barcelona the 13th, announcing that
CONCHA had entered Igualada without opposition, and that
the revolt was suppressed. The General had issued a procla-
mation to the Catalonians, in which he says, that the draw-
ing of the conscription was a mere pretext, seized by the
enemies of public repose to excite the population to revolt;
that their design was to plunge that industrious province in
an abyss of calamity by means of an alliance between the
Carlists and the Republicans, and that, with the aid of the
loyal inhabitants, he will speedily restore the sway of the law,

On the Madrid Bourse the Funds on the 9th were some-
what firmer, the Three per Cents. for cash having reacheel
28i, and even 284 before the close of the market. The
transactions for the Account were also more numerous, at
prices varying between 28i and 28 9-16.

The French Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, commenced
the discussion on the estimates for 1846, but nothing of the
slightest interest had occurred up to the hour of post. In
answer to a question from the Count DE BOISSY relative to
the reduction of the Five per Cent. Stock next session, the
Minister of Finance said, as he had refused in the other
Chamber, to declare what were the intentions of Govern
ment on that subject, he could not answer the question.
The Moniteur publishes the returns of the indirect taxes
during the half-year ending the Ist of July. The
total receipts amounted to 389,904,000 f. (15,600,0001.),
showing an increase, as compared with those of the cor.
responding period of 1844, of 11,778,000 f., and of 19,530,000 f.
over those of a similar period of 1843. - The following are a
few of the items :—Stamps, 19,729,000 f. ; Customs,
75,869,000 f.; Salt, 30,567 f.; Liquors, 48,810,000 f.; Tobacco,
54,017,000 f. ; Postage, 23,441,000 f. The birthday of the
Duke of BORDEA ex gives rise to curious ejaculations in
some of the Legitimatist journals, of which the following
are specimens. The Quotidienne says--

" To-day, the 15th, is the fete of the exile. France in other
tines would have celebrated this day with distinction ; at present
she can only think of it with affection. Kind wishes will, however,
be directed towards Henry of France, and prayers will ascend in his
favour towards heaven. It is the whole flattery which is permis-
sible towards a royalty without power, for hope itself cannot reach
him, unless God should send it by his mysterious messengers. May,
in this day, the thought of his country present itself to Henry with
all the consolations that it possesses, in the same way as his name
remains in France with all the presages which it formerly held
out I"
The following is from the France:—

" The 15th of July is a day of happiness and joy—it is the fete of

the good Henry—it is that of the Count de Chambord. In 1820,
when this young Prince by his birth redeemed the crime of Feb-
ruary 13, and replaced tears by the spectacle of happiness and hope,
King Louis XVIII. selected for him the name which he was to bear.
Next to that of Louis, which the Duke d'Angouleme was to con.
tinue, there was none more popular or more national than that of
Henry. Henry is the personification of love for France, greatness, dig-
nity, clemency, and generosity. It was a noble model given to him
whom France welcomed as the joy of the present moment and the
hope of the future. ' A child is born to us,' cried the King, in ad.
dressing his people ; and the Ambassadors replied, ' It is not only
the child of France, but of Europe.' Times are changed. This
Noble Prince, to whom was destined the greatest of all crowns, is
no longer amongst us, but his memory remains alive. Whether at
a distance or near, he knows that there are hearts which throb at
his name, and which preserve to him the respect and love that they
owe him. If he is touched with this fidelity of the heart, we are
proud to behold him fulfilling the promise of his birth, and what.
ever may be the destiny which God reserves to him, we shall never
fail in what we owe him. To.day his fete beholds us radiate with
joy, as not long since our grief accompanied his, when, kneeling at
the holy tombs of Goritz, he wept for the august Princes who had
watched over his infancy and his youth with such paternal
solicitude!"

Accounts from Algiers of the Bth announce the loss of
another French steamer on the African coast, and also the
capture of a tribe faithful to ABD-EL-KADER, by General
CAVAIGNAC. The particulars are thus given in the Sud of
Marseilles :

" By the arrival of the Vile de Bordeaux, Captain Combes,
we have received accounts from Algeirs to the Bth. A lee-
ter of that date gives a report, setting forth that General
Cavaignac had recently made a bold coup de main at
a place about forty leagues south of Tlemcen, and had
carried off a number of people, who were still devoted to
the cause of Abd-el.Kader. The report of the retrograde
movement of the ex-Emir is confirmed by all the accounts
from the west. His retreat is attributed to the unfavourable dis—
position of the tribes of the south towards him. The Akbar gives
an account of the loss of the Sphynx Government steamer, which
took place on the evening of the 6th to the eastward of Cape Nati.
foux. She was proceeding from Bona to Algiers with dispatches,
but the weather being so excessively foggy that no land could be
seen, she was driven ashore on the rocks at the above place by the
force of the current, the captain at the time supposing himself in
the Bay of Algiers. The passengers, to the number of 309, were
all safely landed, and immediate information was sent off to Al-
giers, from whence two steamers were dispatched to resider assist-
ance. Every exertion was made to save the vessel, but without
effect, the damage she had sustained on the rocks rendering the
task hopeless."

County electors possessing a qualification are cau-
tioned to send in their claims (if they are not already
on the register) before twelve o'clock on Saturday, in
order to be good service. If the notices are sent by
post, they must reach their destination in the ordinary
course of post-delivery on or before the 20th instant,
and, that day being a Sunday, there are few places
where there are deliveries. It will be seen, by an ad•
vertisement over our leader, the Anti-Corn- law League
are willing to give information, and solicit free traders
to their offices for the purpose.
CAUTION TO OVERSEERS.—The New Registration
Act requires the overseer to make out and publish, on
the Ist day of August, a list of all the new claimants,
separate and distinct, from those now on the register,

The Washington papers are counting the number of British
ships of war on the coast of Africa and South America,
amounting, they say, to 52, and 800 guns. They speak of
some fortifications on the United States sea-coast, but their
attention seems to be directed to the great lakes ; improving
the harbours to admit of large steam-vessels, and encourage
their construction for commercial purposes. , They speak of
making Lake Michigan a Mediterranean, fortifying the
Straits of Michellimacinack, and bringing steamers from the
Mississippi by the Illinois canal, &c.
Accounts of May 17 from the Cape of Good Hope state that
the Governor left on the day preceding for the frontier, hav-

Boers, who were inclined, vi et armis, to resist the colonial

arms to our troops, and, in many instances, taken the oath
of allegiance.

COURT CIRCUL A R.

The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Ma-
jesties the King and Queen of the Beigians,and attended by the
royal suite, left Osborne House, Isle of Wight, at nine o'clock
yesterday morning, embarked in the royal yacht for Gosport,
and travelled to town, by a special train, on the South- Western
Railway. From the Nine Elms terminus the august party pro-
ceeded to Buckingham Palace, in three carriages and four,
escorted by a party of the 4th Vett Dragoons. In the first
carriage were her Majesty and her Royal Consort, and their
Belgian Majesties ; and in the other carriages were Lady Port-
