wealth, the intelligence, the influence, or the respec-
tability of those who attended it—never yet took place
: that great 111::7- 'cr; ," 'pita' . :Ir. 'Yr.= 37:,
who as usual occupied the chair, opened the pro-
ceedings by some deeply interesting details respecting
the success which the agents of the League had met
with in their efforts to improve the registration of
Lancashire. " The result of these efforts," said the
Chairman, " has been to give us a gain of five hun-
dred and thirty-three votes for the Northern,
Division of the county, and to give us two seats
for the Southern Division ; and to leave the Mono-
polists three seats in the boroughs, or five out of the
whole twenty Members for the entire county ;
and. I think you will agree with me, that there
never was, in the history of registration
so complete a sweep of a county as this
has been ! I have also in my hand a list of returns
for seventy out of the hundred and fifty boroughs
over which the League has exercised some influence,
and of these there are sixty-eight in which there has
been a clear gain on the registration ; in some a great
gain, but less or more in all." After a triumphant
statement like this, what becomes of the declaration
of the Monopolists—not once but a-dozen times made
during the last few weeks—that the League was fast
losing its hold on public favour—that its funds were
exhausted, its energies enfeebled, in short, that it had
run its allotted course, and was already in the last
stage of decrepitude ? Why, it now appears that in-
stead of being in the debilitated condition alluded to
by its opponents, the League was in reality plying
the work of agitation more briskly than ever, and
quietly stealing a march on the Monopolists,
while they good, easy souls were hugging
themselves in the belief that, like Cardinal
BEAUFOET, it " was dying and making no sign ! '
Yes, at the very moment when the opponents of the
Anti-Corn-law League were congratulating them-
selves at their various agricultural meetings on the
" great fact" that this popular Confederacy was on its
last legs—at that very moment it was dealing them
the severest blows they have yet experienced at its
hands ! " Look to the Register," said Sir R. PEEL
to his friends in the days of Tory despondency.
Well, the League has taken this advice—nanz fas est
ab hoste doceri and the consequence is, that
they have already rescued Lancashire from
the clutches of Monopoly ; and were a general
election to take place to-morrow, the probability is,
that at least a hundred additional Free-traders would
he returned to Parliament. What say you to this,
Messrs. Monopolists ? You may sneer, if you please,
at the assertion, and hold it in utter discredit ; but
we believe it to be as true, as your late statement of the
exhausted condition of the League is false. This in-
fluential Confederacy, indeed, has never been in so
healthy and vigorous a state—never exhibited such a
decided promise of a long, active, and prosperous
existence, as during the period when it was so kindly
and considerately consigned to the " tomb of the
Capulets" by its opponents. Though it made no noise
or stir on the surface—though it held no prize manu-
facture shows, in imitation of the Monopolists'
prize cattle shows—yet it was actively working,
like the mole, under ground; and was never so ener-
;etic as when to all appearance it was most lethargic.
We now see the fruits of its noiseless exertions, in
the thorough purification of the Register throughout
Lancashire, as well as in several other places where
he constituency has till now been corrupt, or if not
absolutely corrupt, at least oppressed with torpor and
indifference. Of the speeches delivered at the great
meeting of which we have been speaking, the best was
decidedly that made by Mr. COBDEN, who being, like
Mercutio, in "a mirthful vein," read the agricul-
turists some pleasant sarcastic truths, better calcu-
lated, we suspect, to edify than to entertain them.
How he lashed them for their fat prize-ox meetings !
What ridicule he cast upon their ploughing matches,
and their annual thirty shillings reward to him who
stood lOngest and worked hardest behind the tails of
two bullocks in an unploughed field ! had an agri-
culturist been present while this cutting exposition of
his favourite system was going forward, it must have
been as diverting a spectacle as mortal optics could
desire, to have watched the varying expiession of his
prepossessing physiognomy, and the modest confusion
that must have been diffused over it, when the humi-
liating conviction—thanks to Mr. COBDEN—was first
impressed on him that he had been making a fool of
himself regularly once a year, since he first patronised
tattle shows and ploughing matches, as the best means
whereby to improve the condition of the labouring
classes.

it may suit NARVAEZ' purpose to cut them short,
which will cause no regret.

Upon t7-..e Exchange of Madren t
Three per Cents. were at 26, ready money, and 264
at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 201, at sixty
days.

The Journal des Debats publishes a summary of
the Bill presented by the Spanish Government for
remodelling the Constitution, and prefaces it with
this significant remark :—" We confine ourselves to
publish it to-day without comment." It will require
some time and some ingenuity for the organ of a Go-
vernment, which has encouraged this inroad upon
Spanish liberty, to make this outrageous attempt sup-
portable even by the adherents of the French Court.
The outline published by the Journal des Debats
differs in no respect from that which appeared in The
Sun'on Friday. The Republican journals of France
display the highest state of excitement on the occa•
sion. The National is furious, and calls for a general
rising throughout Spain to put down the despots. A
correspondent of that paper thus writes from Ma-
drid :—" Rest assured that a counter-revolution is
proceeding, escorted by the representatives of Eng-
land and France, and that M. BLJLWER greatly out-
runs M. BRESSON in this race towards perdition.
Rest assured, also, that at the end of this month, or
the beginning of the next, the Cortes will have disap-
peared from Madrid—that the Chambers will be
closed, and that MARIA CHRISTINA will remain abso-
lute mistress of affairs, either with the consent of the
Deputies, or by the means of a coup d'etat." A cor-
respondent of the Siecle says :
" I do not know what day the eonflict will commence,
but there certainly will be a battle. The Spaniards could
not, in fact, without forfeiting the esteem which their
national character has acquired, suffer with impunity the
insolent and ridiculous re-action sought to be imposed
upon them. A Bonaparte might effect an 18th Bru-
maire, to which a na ion might submit without abdicat-
ing their dignity ; but that a Narvaez, aided by men all
remarkable for the insufficiency of their talents and the
inapotonce of their character should dare to say Re-
nounce your national sovereignty, which broke the chains
forged by monkish and monarchical despotism ; give me
unlimited authority to make laws by ordinance, and I
answer for all'—such conduct is intolerable, odious, and
absurd. The Minister has, however, presented his plan
of reform, and is determined to support it, if necessary,
by military force."
Queen CHRISTINA'S paper, of course, is delighted
with the bold scheme, asserting that it is absolutely
necessary for defeating the disloyal intrigues of
" Young Spain." " These young men," says the
Presse, " are neither Royalists, Conservatives, Pro-
gressives, nor Republicans. Between a party of Monte
at the Cassino, and a dinner at GEVIE'S, they have
picked up a certain jargon of Atheism which they call
philosophy, and it is in the name of this philosophy
that they mock at all political movement," Notwith-
standing the unfavourable aspect of Spanish affairs,
the French Funds slightly improved.

The speech of the Lord Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench, on the memorable Writ of Error in
the case of " O'CoNstELL and others," ha 3 always
been considered, by those who had the good fortune
to hear it, a magnificent effort of forensic eloquence.
It may fairly be admitted—without the slightest dis-
paragement to the readiness and tact evinced by the
Parliamentary Reporters and the London Press, in
dealing with the multifarious subjects that enter into
the composition of the debates which they report
that legal judgments form a rare, but necessary, ex-
ception to the class—the very extensive class—of de-
claimed orations which they transfer from their
speakers to the public, and to posterity, with such
astonishing spirit and fidelity. But a prepared legal
judgment, in addition to its more maturely-con-
sidered composition, which excludes and rejects, not
merely a surplusage of words, but even a redundancy
of thought, in favour of a direct, severe, condensed,
and logical train of reasoning—shaped accurately to
the elucidation of abstract principles of law, and the
illustration of their hearings on the case in hand, in
reference to the modifications of statute, common, or
municipal law, and the legitimate authority of usage
and custom ;—such a judgment carries with it, as a
perhaps indispensable and an universal element, a
degree of technical elaboration which the Reporter
cannot, in fairness, be expected fully to represent
upon his notes. For this reason, mainly—and we
could suggest others—we have been well pleased to
find that Mr. D. LEAHY, one of the Counsel engaged
in the memorable cause upon which this Writ of
Error issued, has published the " Judgment of Lord
DENMAN," as delivered by that distinguished lawyer
on the 4th ultimo in the House of Lords. Mr.
LEAHY, as we learn from the brief, but sensible,
preface which he has prefixed to .the "Judgment,'
has been enabled to usher into public notice this
authenticated version of it, under circumstances of
unusual interest and importance. Lord Chief Justice
DENMAN " was pleased, in the most obliging manner,
to comply with the request" which Mr. LEAHY had
made to him, "to be favoured with certain state-
ments to which his Lordship had alluded," in the
course of his judgment, as "having committed them
to writing, but which he did not propose to address
to the House." The public are much indebted to
Mr. LEAHY for having shown such commendable
foresight in obtaining, and such industry in ar-
ranging, materials so precious in the just apprecia-
tion of a question of vast constitutional importance and
interest. On another occasion we shall give the whole
of Mr. LEAHY'S preface, entire, as it presents a real
and accurate resume of the principal distinctive fea-
tures which that question assumed, both in the Court
below, and on the appeal before the House of Lords.

We have also determined to transfer to our columns
the very important matter which it was the Learned
Chief Justice's intention, as we have already noticed,
to have incorporated into the judgment actually de-
livered by him. Mr. LEAHY has interposed a pre-
liminary statement before these " Additional Ob-
servations," which clearly and succinctly explain the
motive for their separate appearance. The pamphlet,
with its "Notes, Preface, and Additional Observa-
tions," is a compact and invaluable record of that
constitutional and legal " Speech " on which was
mainly founded the decision of the House of Lords,
reversing the judgment of the Court below against
the parties arraigned under the recent State Prosecu-
tions in Ireland.

Madrid journals of the 16th have been received,
from which it appears that great interest was dis-
played on that day by the inhabitants, to ascertain
the new measures of the Government. The Cham-
ber of Deputies and all the galleries were crowded
with anxious spectators. Several of the Foreign Min-
isters were present in their official costume—among

The truly absurd clause in the regulations issued by
" My Lord Mayor Magnay," prohibiting parties even
from attending to their own business, within the pre-
scribed limits, noted by us yesterday, now creates dis-
gust, as well as ridicule. A host of letters have been
addressed to the " Home-office," on the subject, and
sans doute, the higher powers, will control the vagaries
of the Civic authorities, on the subject referred to.
The following letter was posted at the North and
South American Coffee-house this morning :
" An outrage of a serious nature, nearly attended with
loss of life, was committed this afternoon, about four
o'clock, upon Captain Woodhouse, the respected com-
mander of the New York packet-ship Queen of the West
At the hour mentioned, Captain Woodhouse was leaving
his vessel in the Prince's Dock, when passing through
the gate he was assailed by a tall powerful man, in a
sailor's dress, who, without a word, sprung towards him
and struck him a tremendous blow with an iron ball or
stone slung in a cotton pocket-handkerchief. The blow
took effect on the forepart of the temple, near to the eye,
and laid him at once senseless on the pavement. He was
picked up by a few persofts who witnessed the attack,
and carried to the Northern Hospital, where he received
immediate attention from the house-surgeon, who reported
that the injury, although of a most serious nature, did not
amount to fracture of the skull, which was no doubt the
villain's object. The assailant, on seeing Captain Wood-
house fall, uttered some expression not distinctly heard
by those who witnessed the attack, took to his heels, and
in the confusion escaped. He is known, however, and
cannot long escape detection. He is one of Captain
Woodhouse's own crew, amongst whom a mutinous feel-
ing had existed during their late voyage from New
York, though with this man Captain Woodhonse, we
understand, never had an ill word. Two police officers
have been placed on board the Queen of the West for
the protection of the mates, stewards, &c."
In the public Securities this morning scarcely any
business has been transacted. Consols for the Account
have been quoted at par. For the first transfer day next
week an improvement from 993 to 100 has just taken
place. Bank Stock has advanced to 2024, and Exche-

ment of Holland, pursuant to the recent treaty between

a discount of 3 per cent. is to be obtained for payments
