people. Now, when we look upoa the immoderate
sum Extracted annually by the Queen-Mother, Curtis-
TINA, from the impoverished treasury of Spain; the costly
wages of treachery and cabal appropriated to such
creatures as NARVAEZ ; the sumptuous civil list
of the young Queen Regnant, ISABELLA ; and the
state and splendour maintained by the Spanish
Court, in melancholy contrast to the misery of the
Spanish people ; shall we be told that the English
holders of Spanish Stock shall not be paid the interest
on their coupons ? It is high time that our guilty for.
bearance on the subject of Spanish dishonesty should
cease. If the Finance Minister will not provide the
money to defray the interest on these coupons, or can-
not, letour Government insist on its being contributed
out of the appropriation to the enormously dispropor-
tionate Civil List of Spain, the " secret service money,''
the " Royal Pensions," and the Menus plaisirs fund—if

need be,—of the QUEEN-MOTHER and the Senor Munoz•
The Spanish bondholders have a claim which no British
Minister can safely resist, for the vigorous interference of
the British Cabinet on their behalf with that of Spain.

We have accounts from Madrid of the 17th instant. At
a meeting of the editors of the various Opposition papers,
both Absolutist and Progressista,:it had been agreed to re-
spectfully petition the Queen to abrogate the ordinance
against the press.
A new daily paper, entitled the Concileador, and represent-
iag the Absolutist-Moderado party, which acknowledges the
Marquis DE VILLUSLA as its leader, had appeared at Madrid
on the 16th.

At Tarragona, on the 14th instant, a most alarming riot
took place in consequence of the quinta or conscription. The
troops were attacked by a furious mob, armed with clubs
and knives. The soldiers being ordered to fire, one of the
rioters was killed and another wounded, a great number being
made prisoners.

Some of the prisoners were embarked on board the brig
Cannibal. Tranquillity had been completely restored when
the last accounts left. Disturbances had also broken out at
Reuss on the 12th, but they had been promptly quelled.
M. GISPERT, the political chief of Barcelona, has been dis-
missed by NARV.AEZ for the weakness with which he acted
during the recent mate. The real cause of offence is said to
have been M. GISPERT'S promise of pardon to those who
would lay down their arms within a certain time—an act of
enlightened humanity, and therefore most abhorrent to the
feelings of NARVAEZ. As M. GISPERT is brother-in-law to
General CONCHA, it was supposed the latter would resign,
in which case, either Baron DE MEER, or General MANUEL
BRETA would succeed him. General FULGOSIO is to be the
successor of M. GISPERT.

The arrival of the Duke FXRDINAND of Saxe Coburg at
Lisbon had furnished matter for gossip to the gobe-mouches
of Madrid, as the Duke's son had been spoken of as one of the
candidates for the QUEEN'S hand. On the subject of her
MAJESTY'S marriage, the Castellano says:—" The QUEEN-
MOTHER has addressed a very affectionate letter to the
Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, on the occasion of the
fete of his son, Don ENRIQUE. The QUEEN-MOTHER ex-
presses herself highly satisfied with the excellent qualities
she has discovered in the young Prince during his stay at
Barcelona. These, and other rumours, formally contradict
the discord which was alleged to exist in the royal family!'
It would appear, however, that the Presse, which is the organ
of the Christina party, that all this is a mere ruse to prevent
the progressistas from:starting: Don HENRY as their candi-
date, and that CHRISTINA is still labouring assiduously to
procure for her daughter either aCarlist or a French alliance.
M. PEDRO MIRANDA and two other engineers had left
Madrid to explore the country through which the projected
railroad between that capital and the Basque Provinces is to
pass.

The Three per Cents. closed at 28% for cash and 29!,,'3 at
60 days, and the Debt without Interest at 6 1546 for the
29th inst. The Heraldo ascribes the fall to the uncertainty
existing with regard to the journey of the QUEEN to the
northern provinces.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. All
the political notabilities had quitted, or were quitting. Paris
for the provinces. Marshal SOULT left for his estate in the
south of France on Tuesday, and in a few days M. GUIZOT
was to leave for Normandy. I►f. SAUZET had already set
out for Lyons, in which city Don CARLOS and the Princess

of BEIRA had arrived on the 22d. The Moniteur gives a long
account of the splendid reception of the Duc DE MONT-

PENSIER by MEHEMET Au. It would appear, from the fol-
lowing extract from the Debits, that AnD•EL-KADER is
again in the field :
•' Letters from Algiers of the 16th state, in a positive manner,

that ,bd-el. Kader has returned into Morooco. He has not re-
joined his deira, which is still encamped on the banks of the Mel-
lonia, but is at Lika, in the Sahara, on the southern part of the
.._ _ • _

territory of the Hallafs, to the south of Ouchda. It may be re-
remensbered that Tisza is the principal town of this important
tribe, and that towards the end of last year Muley Abderrhaman

sent positive orders to the Hallafs, forbidding them to
_ _ _

hold any communication with Abd.el.Kader. It is thought
that the Emir has with him at Lika about from 500
to 600 horsemen. Scarcely had our indefatigable enemy

re-entered the Moorish territory than he recommenead his intrigues
to keep the minds of the Arabs m a state of agitation and uneasi.

nese. He sent letters to all the tribes in the south, announcing
that in twenty days he should make a movement towards the east,
to return into Algeria. He declares that he has with him about

3,000 cavalry, and slon expects considerable reinforcements. The

greater number of the Marabouts, who were the instigators and
leaders in the recent insurrections in the Dahra and the Ouaren-
cents, having with great difficulty escaped the resentment of the
people who wished to place themselves under French authority,
have taken refuge in Morocco, and rejoined the Emir. These ac-

counts have, doubtless, been much exaggerated by the Arab
couriers; but, making due allowance for this, it will be necessary
to watch with attention the part of the country bordering on Mo-
rocco. Abd el.Kader appears to have chosen Djebel Amour for
the centre of his fresh attempts against Algeria. This range
of mountains is situated under the meridian of the Miliana,
at about fifty leagues to the south, and is not less than fifteen
leagues in length, and between ten and eleven in breadth."
We give the following from La Presse

" In Turkish Croatia, as in several other Ottoman provinces

the people are in arm against the Government. On the 9th of
July they violated the Austrian territory, and suddenly assailed the
military cordon guarding the frontiers. The Austrians, whose
numbers were very inferior, lost three officers and three hundred
soldiers. The insurgents had thus wished to avenge themselves on
the Austrians, who had too generously afforded a refuge to the ex-
pelled Turkish authorities. The Austrian Government has lost no
time in demanding satisfaction, and adopting energetic measures to
prevent the recurrence of such aggressions."

There is a large business doing in Shares, and prices, as the
list subjoined will show, are fluctuating considerably. Lon-
don and York opened better. but prices have declined a trifle
since. Cambridge and Lincoln have fallen again to 1 prem. ;
Direct Northern are very heavy; Leicester and Bedford are
rising; Great Western are supported at the advance of yes-
terday ; Oxford and Worcester are good ; Rugby and Tring,
and South-Eastern flat; and South Wales and North Kent
have improved, the following being extracts from the report
of the Provisional Committee just presented to the share-
holders
" The present meeting has been delayed to enable your
Committee to ascertain the amount of all outstanding de-
mands against the Company to this time, and they are ena-
bled to state, that the expenses from the 29th of January last
will not exceed fifteen shillings and sixpence per share.
This result, when compared wit's what is known to have
been expended in other contests, will, the Committee feel, be
regarded with entire satisfaction by the Shareholders.
"The complete and comprehensive scheme now brought
forward will require a capital of 3,300,000 L, which it is pro-
posed to divide into 66,000 Shares of 50/. each, and it is in-
tended that the same shall be issued on a deposit of 21. 10s.
per Share, upon the conditions of the forthcoming prospectus.
" In renewing their application to Parliament, your Com-
mittee will obviate the objections urged against their Bill in
the Committee, by bringing forward the entire of the scheme
originally contemplated. The undertaking now proposed
will be for the formation of a direct line of railway to Dover,
commencing near the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and
proceeding by Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester,
Chatham, Sittingbourne, and Canterbury, terminating at
Dover, and by branch also at Deal ; with other branches to
Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham Quays, and Chilham, and
also uniting, by its communications at Canterbury, with the
line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate.
" With reference to the recent Parliamentary inquiry
arising out of the singular petition presented by the South-
Eastern Company to the House of Commons-we will only
observe that, whatever might have been the views of those
who originated that step, it has not left the slightest imputa-
tion either on this Committee as a body or any individual
connected with it."
