The talk at the Chamber of Deputies on Monday was
the quarrel which took place at Neuilly,' at the moment
of the funeral procession, between M. Laffitte and Mar-
shal Soult. M. Laffitte is President of the Chamber of
Deputies by right of age, no President being yet elected.
As President, he demanded to occupy the place of
honour—in holding the cords of the pall of the Duke of
Orleans. The Marshal defended himself as best he could
against M. Laffitte's ire. The other Ministers said, that
the Chamber of Deputies not being constituted yet, there
was no place for its merely temporary President.
" What !" exclaimed M. Laffitte, " a Chamber of Depu-
ties not yet constitue put the crown on the head of the
present King, and voted the existence of the Chamber
of Peers ; therefore, constitue or not, the Chamber of
Deputies must be represented at this ceremony, and in-
ferior to no other body. I will not walk second even to
the President of the Chamber of Peers," added M.
Laffitte. This quarrel of etiquette was put an end to by
the putting eight cords to the pall, and giving one on
each side, in equal rank, to be borne by the Presidents
of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies.
We have received the Madrid journals of the 31st ult.
The Gazette and some other papers contain articles on
the death of the Duke of Orleans, which are remarkable
for•good feeling and propriety. There is nothing very
important in the way of news in these journals: A Ma-
drid letter states-thatinear OlOt'and Berga, small bands
of rebels have made their appearance.; several have
been taken and shot.. The sanguinary order of General
Zurbano, at Barcelona. declaring:that any person,falling
into. the hands of, the insurgents, and paying a ransom
for his release, shall be shot, as having made .himselra
party to their offence., is said to have excited such di4
satistaetion at Madrid, as to have induced the Regent to
a,nntil it. * '
Great surprise is manifested 'in the ',Spanish Capital.
by 'the appointment of the Countess Money) as lady Of
honour to the Queen, in the place of Madame. Beljida; 'is -
the former is said to be:notoriOusly of Carlist principles;
:otherwise there Can be no objection to:Madame Montejc,
as she, is the widow of.a grandee of Spain„and one of the
most distinguished vvemen.at Madrid. ;-
The commerfq publishes i letter dated the 17th tilt.,
froin the frontiers of Prussian Poland, announcing that,

of excellent quality, the price of corn remained high

A letter from -Frankfort-on-the-Oder, dated the 21st
ult., states that the. fair of- St. Maguinf, which hactjust
concluded, was:, well- supplied .with.- goods,: but almost.
exclusively
,from States forming the German Union,
,which met with Aree4y sale,,but at rather reduced prices.
Letters'from Constantinopleof the 13th-ult., announce.
that the Shah of

War against Turkey, - and that a Persian army, is to.
march against Bkiidad, and another against Erzertnn.
Troops had already Marched froth Teheran to Arnedani.
On their way to Bagdad. It appears that the cause: of
quarrel is a disputed-boundary line, and that the Selialo
had forwarded anldtimattan to the Porte signifying his:
intention ~.to takevissession of the. territory -in dis-
pute if it,,wergt-119,tAeded to him:by the sth of October:.

The Illotise Ottomliwils was almost exclusrvejy occu-
pied by the Newfoundland Bill last night. There was
some conversation upon other business, which was
postponed to make way for it, but that was the main
business. The. adjourned debate upon going into Com-
mittee, which Mr. O'Connell had moved to postpone for
three months, was resumed ; and, after several speeches,
it was decided by 68 to 13 that the Bill should be com-
mitted. Into Committee, accordingly, the House went,
and Mr. O'Connell debated every clause, and divided on
most of them. Performing such work, the House sat
till One o'Clock.
MONEY—TICADE—COIVITVEZMCE.
A meeting of the wine-merchants of Bristol took
place in that city on Tuesday for the purpose of adopting
a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, praying for a
return of a portion of the duties on bottled wines in stock,
so as to place them on an equality with those imported
or taken out of bond under the amended duty fixed by
the Treaty with Portugal. The memorial was accord-
ingly resolved to be adopted; and before the breaking up
of the meeting a piece of plate of the value of 100
guineas was voted to J. Moore, Esq., the Chairman, in
testimony of the gratitude ,of the wine-merchants of
Bristol for his efforts in behalf of their trade.
