ARTICLE 11.

As it is necessary, for the purpose of attending to the affairs of
the merchants of the two parties respectively, that from both Go-
vernments commercial agents should be appointed to reside in stated
places ; it is therefore arranged that two commercial agents on the
part of the British Government shall reside, one in the capital,
and one in Tabreez, and in those places only, and on this condi.
non, that he who shall reside at Tabreez, and he alone, shall be
honoured with the privileges of Consul. General; and as for a soles
of years a Resident of the British Government has resided at
Bushire, the Persian Government grants permission that the said
Resident shall reside there as heretofore. And, in like manner,
two commercial agents shall reside on the part of the Persian Go-
vernment, one in the capital of London, and one in the port of Bom-
bay, and shall enjoy the same rank and privileges which the coin.
mercial agents of the British Government shall enjoy in Persia.

The question of the Reform of the Chamber of Depu-
ties excites comparatively little interest in the political
circles of the French metropolis. Whether it be that
such Reform is deemed impracticable, or that our volatile
neighbours tire of their own projects, almost as soon as
they adopt them, certain it is that hardly a syllable ap-
pears in the Journals about M. GANNERON'S proposal
for excluding paid functionaries from the representation
of the French people.
Another phase of the same Reform question comes
before the Chamber of Deputies this week. It has re-
ference to the electors, and not to the elected. It de-
mands such an extension of the suffrage as shall include
all Professors of Law and Physic ; members of the In-
stitute; and officers on half-pay, not paying the requisite
amount of tax: s. The object of such a measure is to
secure the representation of the mind, as well as of the
Money of France. We anticipate its rejection by a large
majority.. The classes interested are too dissociated to
make them formidable to the Government, and the Mi-
nisters must be sensible that they could anticipate no-
thing but opposition from such a quarter. In the repre-
sentation of money, and money only, lies the security of
such a corrupt Government as that of France.

Madrid letters tell us that with the exception of the
Duke of OSUNA and the Marquis of SANTIAGO,- none of
the Spanish Grandees attended the last grand ball given
by the British Ambassador. This news has cost their
wives and daughters more uneasiness, than it is ever
likely to do us. We quarrel not with the Grandees
of any country for declining a dance, even though
a Queen were to set them the example. Solecisms
in manners, and instances of bad taste ap-
pertain too much to every class to blame
them more in a Peer than in a coal-porter. Moreover,
we happen to care very little about what regard the
Grandees of Spain may have for the representative of
this country. The power of the Grandees, like the
power of the POPE in Spain, has become a recollection, and
nothing more. "While the Spanish Government and the
Spanish people repose confidence in the friendship of our
Minister, and of England, we can afford to laugh at
the exclusive impertinences of Spain's degenerate and
powerless Grandees.
A letter from Madrid mentions the death of Lieut.-
General the Marquis DE CAsTELLoosmus, Grandee of
Spain, and Senator for the province of Catalonia.

" We have just been informed," says the United Ser-
vice Gazette, " that the Adjutant of the 1 Ith Hussars
has resigned that appointment, because his commanding
officer required him to make memoranda privately of the
officers who absented themselves from evening stables,
who, being a gentleman, he of course declined to do."
The " commanding officer" here alluded to is the
Earl of Cardigan, who, it may ho remembered,
was rebuked about eight years ago by a Court-
martial for precisely similar conduct. Is not his
Lordship satisfied with the unenviable notoriety he
gained on that occasion ? Are not the " black bottle"
affair, and the episode (by way of variety) of the Sunday
Flagellation sufficient to assuage his thirst for public
distinction ? Does he imagine that the measure of his
renown is not yet full, and that he will glide out of
public recollection, if he do not give proof, from time to
time, that he still lives and flourishes, by some fresh act
of despotism or absurdity ? We conjure him to lay aside
such apprehensions. The Earl of Cardigan is one not
likely to be soon forgotten. He has won for
himself a lasting notoriety, and may safely re-
pose on his laurels without having recourse to any new
outrage on common-sense and
.propriety. We are still,
however, not without a lingering hope that the United
Service Gazette may be in error in its statement. To be
sure, the statement wears very much the aspect of a
truth, and is impressed with the Cardigan lineaments ;
nevertheless, we can. scarcely believe that his Lordship
can be so wholly destitute of sense, as once again to be
wantonly guilty of ,that: vary conduct, which eight years
ago received the public reprobation of a Court Martial.
Experience, they say, makes even fools wise. Surely it
cannot be without somelittle effect on a Cardigan

ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE.
(THIS DAY.)
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Anti-Corn-law
Conference, held at Brown's Hotel,
.Palace-yard this morning,
I'. A. Taylor, Esq., in the, chair, the following resolution was
tumultuously agreed to, viz.:—
" That from the necessity which exists that the members of the
Executive Committee should return to their respective localities,
to assist in the various measures in progress to promote the total
and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, it is deemed
adviseable that this Committee should terminate its sittings as early
as possible ; and it is therefore agreed that, at the close of this meet-
ing, the Executive Committee do dissolve."
The thanks ofthe meeting were then voted to the Chairman, and
the Committee broke up.
