princes of the house of MEDICI ? It was not Italian
aristocracy, but Italian commerce tb at protected and
rewarded, and acknowledged the -social equality of
genius. The former was too much engrossed with its
own ambitious views—too much adt licted to war and
bloodshed—to the acquisition of this town or city, and
the destruction of the municipal pr ivileges of that—
to be able, even supposing it had the :inclination, to pay
attention to the peaceful claims. of intellect. The
benefits conferred by aristocracy on. literature are
soon summed up. The former has always received
from the latter much more than it hs s bestowed, and
has ever been too proud to acknowledge the full extent
of its obligations. But who shall number up the
benefits that commerce in all ages of the world has
been the means of conferring on into llect ? had it
not been for the gradual extension of commercial
enterprise among mankind, the world would still have
remained in comparative darkness ; and literature, in-
stead of being what it now is, the want of all, would
have been a superfluous luxury appreciated only by
the few. Mr. SMYTHE, therefore, ne-eer uttered a more
sterling truth than when he maintained that
there was a "natural alliance between commerce and
literature." In this great trading community of ours
—for what, after all, is England but a nation of shop-
keepers ? we say this to her credit, though NAPOLEON
used the term in an insulting sense—the commercial
spirit must ever be the greatest benefactor to the lite-
rary spirit. Each acts and reacts advantageously on
the other. Trade furnishes the means by which in-
tellect lives and thrives ; and intellect, in turn, brings
its softening, elevating influences to bear on the
stern and practical nature of trade. Is it the aristo-
cracy that are everywhere encouraging the spread of
Mechanics' Institutes, book-clubs, and reading-rooms;
that founded the Durham and London Universities ;
and originated the Society for the Diffusion of Useful
Knowledge ? Far otherwise. These are Institutions
with which they have but an imperfect sympathy; it
is the middle classes—and chiefly those who are en-
gaged in the pursuits of commerce—that have origi-
nated them, and that are still earnestly engaged in
furthering the sacred cause of education among the
masses, while the aristocracy are content to look on
with a feeble, supercilious, and condescending ex-
pression of approval. It is commerce that commences
the great work of civilisation among nations by
bringing them in closer and more harmonious corn

XVIII and Charles X. are not forgotten. History has
said why ? But what is at least strange is, that through
an attention which was intended to be delicate, and
which fortunately was not merited, the Duke of Orleans,
at present King of the French, figures himself amongst
the men to whom those painful recollections are attached.
The Queen of England would have done well to have
chosen another gallery fcr her banquet. It was sufficient
that the King of the French should have appeared there
in effigy."
The Siecle charges M. GUIZOT with selling himself
to England, but though the Minister is mentioned
by name, the imputation is meant for a higher per-
sonage

FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, OCT. B.—On the 7th of this month Mr.
Thomas G. Cleurson had an audience of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and delivered his credentials as Charge
d'Affaires of the United States of America of this Court.
A melancholy event has excited a great sensation in
the diplomatic body at Rio de Janeiro. M. do Schanz,
Consul-General of Sweden at the Court of Brazil, has
attempted to commit suicide, in consequence of having
been discharged by his Government. The dose of
arsenic which he took was not strong enough to produce
the intended effect. There are hopes of saving him;
but still it is feared that all the care bestowed on him
will be unavailing, so determined does he seem to put an
end to his life. M. de Schanz, having exhausted all his
resources in supporting the dignity of his office, was
driven to this act of despair at the moment when he ex •
pected to be appointed Charge d'Affaires.
If we are rightly informed some modifications have been
made in the original draft of the treaty of the Ist of
September. These modifications are of little import-
ance; the object of them all is better to define the arrange-
ments respecting the navigation in the out-ports. A
clause has been inserted in anticipation of the case, that,
instead of increasing the duties on foreign corn, the
Zollverien should diminish, or even suppress them. This
case was wholly omitted in the original draft. It is here
that the Prussian Government at first proposed altera-
tions much more important, but they were all given up
the Prussian Government having throughout manifested
a desire to do away with everything that might delay the
final conclusion of the arrangement.
We are informed that the treaty of the Ist of Septem-
ber has been ratified by all the States interested, includ-
ing Belgium. It may, therefore, be immediately pub-
lished and carried into effect.
ALTENBURG, SEPT. 26.—Applications have been
made here, and from Bavaria for permission to build a
church for the Roman Catholics (thirty-eight persons).
The Duke, however, has not granted it. To Bavaria
an answer has been sent, courteously attending to the
condition of the Protestants in that country. In the
answer given at Altenburg, the grounds for rejecting
the application are stated at length, and the persons in-
terested are required, at the same time, to determine
what shall be done with the 2,000 florins received from
Bavaria.
VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—The report of the accession of
Bohemia to the Zollverein, has excited a great sensation
here, chiefly because the most important Bohemian
manufacturers have magazines here. This important
affair is generally spoken of; and though there are some
who consider so bold a measure as injurious, and even
impracticable, general opinion is decidedly in its favour.
Bohemia would probably gain considerably by it, and
the advantage would doubtless be shared by the whole
empire. We remember that the Bohemian manufac-
turers have officially declared that they are fully able to
compete with those of Germany.
VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The news of the accession of Bo-
hemia to the Zollverein, with which some German news-
papers amuse their readers, is certainly false. The ac-
cession of Bohemia, without the other German pro-
vinces, seems to us to be absolutely impossible, for it
cannot be supposed that Austria will ever think of break-
ing the connection of Bohemia with Vienna, Moravia,
and Hungary, and to offer nothing for the separation but
a very precarious result. The accession of all the German
provinces (that is, without Italy, Hungary, and Galicia)
would be difficult, but the accession of Bohemia alone
may be pronounced to be wholly impracticable under
present circumstances.
ST. PETERSBURGIT, SEPT. 28.—The Northern Bee
states that General Count Alexander Benkindorf, who
was returning from Germany on board the Hercules
steamer, died on board on the 23d inst. off the island of
Dagoe.
Illynuncu, OCT. B.—The Swedish Journals of the
Ist give long accounts of the coronation of their Majesties
on the preceding Saturday. The ceremony was per-
formed according to the programme previously pub-
lished, and the whole passed off in the most perfect
order. The spectators were deeply impressed with the
religious character of the ceremony. The city was
splendidly illuminated in the evening. On the following
day the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Denmark
had the honour to present the congratulations of their
Sovereigns.—Haniburgh Papers, Oct. 8.

"We are not animated with a feeling of hatred to-
wards England, but we cannot help recollecting and re-
senting the repeated insults offered to our country. If
the British Government had endeavoured to make us
forget by some generous proceeding the odious breach of
faith of 1840, we should consider it our duty to acknow-
ledge it, and congratulate ourselves upon it, for by that
means the friendly understanding between the two na-
tions would have been re-established. Unfortunately,
we have no such fact to record, and many others have
occurred to excite still more our just irritation. The
same feeling, we know, is not shared by the Minister
(M. Guizot), who appears to have undertaken the mis-
sion of immolating to the merchants of London the in-
terests and honour of our country. lie has received a
favour from England ; after foolishly engaging his word
in a treaty, he withdrew it, on the injunction of the Par-
liamentary majority. This was a serious grievance for
the English Government ; its indignation would have
been vented against any other Minister, and a reparation
demanded. But the Cabinet of London knew its man,
and took good care not to injure British interests by in-
sisting on his dismissal. The English have a right to
be pleased with him and to feast him ; he has paid his
debt at the expense of the national interests and of
France. Why, then, should we feel flattered or grateful
for the interested ovation preparing for their liegernan
on the other side of the Channel ? A day will come
when England will appreciate the value of French alli•
ante ; but that alliance, founded on mutual good rela
tions, will offer itself spontaneously, and not allow itself
to be sold."
The National after a brief notice equally compli-
mentary to the Foreign Minister changes the scene,
and denounces his policy in Spain :
" Nowhere has the policy of M. Guizot been so
flagrantly exposed as in Spain. The Government
which oppresses that country is his work—he preponde-
rates in its councils. He encouraged the insurrection
which produced the present Government, and he re-
ceived the Golden Fleece as a reward. Since the return
of Maria Christina, Spain has no longer a constitution.
The arbitrary Government of Ordinances has replaced
the prescriptions of the law. The intrigues of the palace
supersede the deliberations of the Chambers. The taxes
are levied without having been voted by the Chambers.
The single fact is sufficient to characterise this abomin•
able re-action. Orders were sent to Saragossa to dis-
cover the pretended authors of the murder of a General
who perished during a night of alarm and of civil war.
The persons accused were citizens, but they
were tried by court-martial, and after an interval of
eight years, some were condemned to death, and
others to the gallies for the term of their natural
lives. . . A general cry of indignation was raised, and
the clemency of the young Queen was appealed to, but
her mother was near her, and the Queen declared that
she would grant a pardon if the sons of the General
would consent. The execution then took place amongst
a horror-struck population The liberty of
the press is suspended, and property confiscated. Entire
provinces are placed in a state of siege, and even in
places where there exists no pretext for such a measure.
There is no security for individuals against the good
pleasure of the sabre. A denunciation is sufficient to
authorise imprisonment, proscription, or death. It is not
necessary to recal to the recollection of our readers the
seventy-two deputies imprisoned, without cause, the
editors of public journals dragged from their beds to be
thrown into dungeons with robbers, the massacres en
masse which covered with blood the walls of Alicant and
of Carthagena, and the permanent spoliations exercised
in Catalonia."
The adjudication of the offers for forming the line
on the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway took place on
Wednesday, before the Minister of Public Works.
The biddings wese as follows :—Messrs. MAcKENziE,
PATTERSON, and Co., offered to take it for 28 years
all but 17 days ; Baron ROTHSCHILD, for 31 years
and 9 days; and M. DROUILLARD for 36 years and 1
day. Messrs. MacaErizth and Co., being the lowest
bidders, were declared the contractors. This raised
the shares of the MACKENZIE Company from 60f. to
100 f. premium. The Orleans and Vierzon line was
adjudged to the existing Orleans Company for a term
of 40 , years, the Orleans Company ceding to that
headed by Messrs. LE COI4TII and Co., one-third of
the shares.

munion with each other, and literature that corn

pletes the august task. The one acts as the pioneer
to the other. Commerce prepares the rugged soil to
receive the seeds which literature sows. Commerce
without literature is like SAMPSON shorn of his hair
—a giant, it is true, but one from whom the true,
manly, invigorating spirit has departed ; but the two
combined triumphantly bear down all obstacles op-
posed to their 'progress by ignorance, prejudice, or
self-interest, and tend to uplift Humanity to the
highest point of elevation!

We have published in another part of the paper an
address from General ESPARTERO to the Spanish na-
tion. It is distinguished by his usual good sense,
patriotism, and moderation, and, we may say, every
statement he makes is founded on truth. No man
ever did more for Spain in the same time than the
Duke of VITTORIA ; he put down the Carlists, he es-
tablished a free constitution, paved the way for the
emigration of Queen CHRISTINA, the enemy of liberal
institutions, and in every respect adhered to the
charter, which he hoped would restore peace and pros-
perity to Spain. All his constitutional acts, however,
were treated with neglect ; an adventurer,:the agent of
CHRISTINA, intrigued with the troops, landed in Spain
from a French port; CHRISTINA speedily followed, and
the whole country was pl aced under martial law. It still
remains in nearly the same position. The Cortes, it
is true, have been summoned, but there has not been
even the semblance of a free election, military despo-
tism and the imprisonment, expulsion, or banishment
of ESPARTBRO'S supporters, hare been the orders of
the day; and the Spaniards, as far as regards their
boasted charter, are as abject and helpless as the serfs
of Russia. ESPARTERO may well lament the fate of
his countrymen, he may lament that his patriotic
designs were frustrated by Frenchmen and renegade
Spaniards, but he has this consolation in his exile—
he took no selfish advantage of his high station, he
honourably performed his duty as Regent and Com-
mander-in-Chief, and was driven from Spain by
men who preferred slavery to liberty.

harm. Those rumours and calumnies, however, will
cease after the opening of the Cortes. Then everybody
will have an opportunity of defending himself, and con-

BOROUGH OF LAMBETH REGIS-
TRATION.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before J. DEEDED, Esq.)
Thomas Styles claimed to have his name placed on
the register in respect of a house occupied by him at
No. 11, Charles-street, New Kent-road. It appeared
that Styles had not claimed to have his name placed on
all the rates made during the electoral year, which the
Learned Barrister contended was not a proper proceed-
ing, as the claim which he had made only entitled him to
be on the then rate, and the claim, therefore, could not be
good for the present year. A person must be rated on
all the rates made during the twelve months—from July
to July.
Wm. Hicks claimed in rospect of a house. It appeared
that the name of the claimant's landlord appeared on the
rate, although he (the claimant) asserted that he, and
not the landlord, paid the rates.—His claim was disal-
lowed.

Not one of the Paris papers of Wednesday an-
nounces the arrival of Louis Friuli-I.E in England.
As he reached Portsmouth at an early hour on Mon-
day, the intelligence might easily have been conveyed
to Paris in less than forty-eight hours; but this is
only one proof among many of the little aptitude of
our neighbours for the dispatch of business. Pass-
ports in Custom-houses and octrois obstruct the tra-
veller at almost every step, and time which might be
profitably employed is wasted only in delaying trade
and commerce. The journals, however, if they have
no news on the event, have abundance of comments
on what they take for granted has occurred at
Windsor Castle. The Quotidienne, while annoyed at
the visit, endeavours to pluck up courage by referring
to the victories of the French under the ancient house
of BOURBON. "It is unfortunately not possible for
us," says the CARLIST organ, " to remake our history.
The name of the Duke of WELLINGTON is connected
for us only with mournful reminiscences, and if it
recalls any personal event to the courtiers of the
Tuileries, it is perhaps the refusal to accord a com-
mand to the Duke of ORLEANS in 1811, and the de-
claration made in 1815, to the feeble party vvilic4en
declared for that Prince, that the Duke of ORLEANS
would never accept the crown before the extinction
of the reigning family. Marshal SOULT was well
received in England, without doubt; but it is not
merely because he had taken a glorious part in the
wars of Germany and Italy, but because he had
been unsuccessful since 1809, in his encounters
with the English. Oporto, Albuera, Bayonne, Or-
thez, were reminiscences which British pride was de-
lighted to recur to, in beholding the Marshal, and the
English showed the more eagerness to fete him, inas-
much as his military merit gave more relief to their
success. Admiral DE GRASSE, after the unfortunate
combat of Des Saintes, was enthusiastically received
in London. He had twice beaten the English before
his defeat, and it was precisely because he was brave
and able that the English were so happy to have been
at least once more able or more fortunate than he.

BOW-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.)
John Parry was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged
with attempting to defraud Mr. Shure, hosier, of Picca-
dilly, of six pairs of white kid gloves.
Mr. Shure stated that the prisoner came into his shop
and ordered six pairs of gloves, and in payment he ten
dered an order upon the Golden Cross hotel for the
amount. Witness sent his boy with the goods to the
hotel and also the order, when it was discovered that
the prisoner had been to several other tradesmen and
ordered goods in the same way. He was therefore
given into custody,
Prisoner—Why did you not take the order ? Is it not
shameful that I should have been locked up all night
with a nasty black ruffian. But I'll have my revenge.
Here lam in custody for nothing. If you call that jus-
tice I have done. But I mean to take out a warrant
against this man. There has been a conspiracy between
him and his snob of a boy. I will bring an action
against him, and I will ruin him if it costs me a thousand
pounds. Here am I a respectable stockbroker and a
civil engineer. (Here he became very much excited
and struck the boy violently). I have had my energies
roused. I will write a pamphlet about this, aye, and I
will have a comedy written upon it, and I will go on the
stage and play in it. I think I c2,n fill Jack Reeve's
place as well as any body, and I will give your snob of a
boy ad -- good hiding, and you too. The prisoner,
who stated that he lived at No. 9, Sloane-street, con-
tinued to vociferate the most incoherent nonsense.
He was ultimately removed. He was either insane or
played his part with great truthfulness.

ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
—This morning, about ten o'clock, a man named Charles
Hunter, thirty years of age, whilst working upon some
scaffolding near the Victoria Tower, fell therefrom with
his right arm and side upon the teeth of a large stone
saw. Tho poor fellow was immediately conveyed to the
Westminster Hospital, where he remains in a dangerous
state.

his reverse. The mind of our neighbours is so con-

lieve that the reception reserved for the travellers to

rested preferences of the British Government for a
dependent and devoted regime. As to us, very diffe

THE BIRMINGHAM QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE
SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON-MASTERS.—BIRMINGHAM,
Tit unSDAY.—To-day the gentlemen engaged in the above
trade met at the Town-hall, for the transaction of busi-
ness. The attendance was most numerous and respect-
able, and included the leading masters in this part of
the country. It was very hard to obtain anything like
accurate information of the state of the trade; but after
many inquiries amongst those upon whom I can rely, I
was enabled to arrive at the fact that the prices of the
last quarter will be maintained. The masters will meet
on Saturday at Dudley, when they will come to a final
resolution upon the subject. I consider, however, it is
now so far settled that no reduction for the pressat can
be anticipated. I have reason to believe a good deal of
importance was attached to the meeting of to-day. It was
feared that prices could not, however, be maintained.
They have, however, been upheld, and I hope that the
result will be found to justify the decision. The accounts
from London of the general state of the market had a
good effect, and inspired confidence. There was also a
tolerably brisk demand for iron, and the meeting on the
whole was satisfactory.
The steamer Antwerpen, [Captain Jackson, arrived
at the St. Katharine's Wharf, Tower, yesterday morning
after a passage of twenty hours, effected against wind

Mr. Palmer, &c., were amongst the passengers. This
