OLD BALLY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

the destructive cojoyed by the pro

prietors of the sheep flocks, of driving them
froin the -northern to the southern provinces
for, winter pasture. The medd, the law regu-
lating this practice, is most oppressive, and
under its influence, aided by want of capital, and
heavy taxes and tithes, the farmers are, through-
out Splin,' described to be in a state of unexam-
pled misery, living in huts of the meanest de-
scription, and faring worse than the common
labourers in the towns. The great landowners
are generally embarrassed, and waste their re-
venues, without any public advantage, in the
idlest manner. Land is stated net to yield its
proprietors more than one and a half to two per
cent., which, under the circumstances we have
mentioned, is, perhaps, more than could have

been expected.
Of the backward state of the roads an idea
may be formed from the fact, that although Spain
is nearly four times as large as England, the
outlay on roads does not amount to one-twentieth
part of the sums expended annually in England
for that purpose. • Two or three great highways
are kept in tolerable repair ; but the cross-roads
are seldom passable by carriages or carts, and
with the exception of the canal of the Ebro, and.
another lately commenced in Castile, the country'
is destitute of communication by canals, and
seems little more energetic than at the period
when the Council of Castile refused their sanc-
tion to a proposal to render navigable the rivers
Mancanares and Tagus, assigning as a reason
" that if it had pleased GoD that these two
rivers should have been navigable, he would not
have wanted human assistance to have made
them such ; but as he has not done it, his plain
he did not think it proper it should be done.—
To attempt it, therefore, would be to violate the
decrees of his Providence, and to mend the
imperfectionsr” which he designedly left in his
works,''

How long the decrees of Providence destine
the Spanish people to continue oppressed by an
arbitrary and unequal system of taxation, which for
the last twenty years has not produced a revenue
equal to the public expenditure, exclusive of the
interest of the debt, is indeed a fearful specu-
lation. At present, Spain is notoriously in a
state of bankruptcy, the existing Government
having disavowed the loans negociated by the
Cortes, and being totally unable either to fulfil
her engagements, or to recruit her finances,
without a radical change in her whole frame of

society. In the meantime crimes ale perpe-
trated to a frightful degree, both in numb€r aml
atrocity. L► the year 1826, 1,223 murders were
committed, and 1,773 attempts at murder, ac-
companied by stabbing and wounding—an un•
parallelled example of the ferocity on the part of
the people, and neglect of duty by the Govern-
ment. Justice is, in fact, bought and sold,—
prosecutions arc discouraged, and the Judges
are corrupt. flow, then, can it be wondered
that the moral and physical energies of the people
arc in a state of stagnation, where liberty and
property are equally insecure from violence ?

The article alluded to has not the most dis-
tant reference to stock-jobbing, and is perfectly
free from party feeling. It is a simple collection
of facts, and bears the marks of truth in every
part of it. Spain is at the lowest pitch of de-
basement, but, we trust, not without hope ; and
surely, says the Reviewer, " if there be any
truth in the remark of I-lumE, that when human
affairs have sunk to a certain point of depres-
sion, they naturally begin to ascend in an oppo.
site direction, her regeneration cannot be far
distant."

to nitres, ,the designs of the rebels, and affects to believe
that that the whole rebellion will be aeon put down. Pri-
vate letters, however, -state that the greats at anxiety pre-
vailed, and it was generally htl:eved that the insurrection
would spread in cvzry direction.
It is determined to hold a corn-market. at
Botley on the alternate Mondays with the Fareham

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MARKET.—Dec. 5

Our farmers continue to supply us sparingly with Wheat,
and to-day our prices were Ss. per quarter higher on the
best, and 2s. on the inferior samples ; very iittle Wheat
offering by the merchants. In Oats we have little change,
the few fine samples meet ready sale, hut the bulk being
inferior are. vary dull at our quotations. The finest Bar-
ley in steady and moderate demand, but the inferior par-
cels scarcely saleable for malting. halt very (lull. Fine
nye in fair demand. Beans and Pease more inquired for.

MANCI! S 1 ER CORN MARK ET.—llec. 5

We had a very slender attendance of millers and dealers
at market to-day, and a small show of eatnples of Wheat ;
the finest descriptions at hand commanded full 24 per bu-
shel more than last week, hut tie soft sprouted samples
are scarcely noticed. Grinding Barley is full 2d. per
60ib. lowre.—Oats ate id. to Id. per 4:alb. dearer.
Fine Boiling Pease are in request at the quotations.
And blight Beans are wanted for grinding ;—conse-
quently such qualities are Is. per quarter higher.—
Our Marcet is tolerably well stocked with Old and New
Malt, and it is with the greatest difficulty that the quota-
tions subjoined can be obtained. Flour remains scarce, is
consequently ready sale—and Oatmeal is in demand at Is.
per pack edvanee.

THE LATE DREADFUL MURDER AT
CHARD.—A Coroner's Inquest bas been held at Chard,
before Mr. CAINES, Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on
the body of JOAN TURNER, who seas found murdered
about half a mile from Chard. The investigation conti-
nued three days without being able to obtain sufficiently,
clear evidence to warrant a committal of any of the sus-
pected parties, and the Jury accordingly returned a verdict
of." Wilful blinder
_against some person or. persons un-
known."
