ARRIVAL OF THE ROSCIU! Highly Important Commercial Nows. Another Advance in Cotton—Great Excite. ment in the Market—Continued Prosper- ity in Trade—Revolutionary State of France—Tottering of the Ministry—State Triais in Ireland—Spanish Affairs—Move- ments all over the World. ‘The fast sailing express packet ship Roseius, Capt. Collins, arrived yesterday morning from Liverpool. y This ship was boarded by one of our chipper schooners at 7 0’clock in the morning, five and a half miles outaide of Sandy Hook. She immediately bore away for this city, and reached the wharf at half past 10 o’clock, thus running thirty miles in a little over three hours, against ahead wind, and through a thick snow storm. We are, by her, placed in possession of London and Liverpool papers to the Mth ult., which was Sunday. ‘Phe news is highly important, both in a commer- There had been another advance in cotton of $d, with tremendous large sales. Trade was very prosperous in England. Every thing looked remarkably favorable. The newscarried out by the Liverpool and New York sent up the price of cotton. France was full of revolutionary spirits. The min- istry was on the eve of a downfall. Spanish affairs and Queen Victoria were ima very interesting state. Affairs in Ireland were approaching a crisis. The State trials were to begin in less than forty- eight hours after the Roscius sailed. Rebecca and her amiable daughtera continued in Wales. Scotland was as quiet as her kirks ona Sabbath morning. The Vestal, a twenty six gun brig, Capt. Talbot, was hourly expected at Portsmouth, England, on the 10th ult., to embark Mr. Pakenham, the British Minister, appointed to succeed Mr. Fox at Wash- ington City, She would be paid advance wages at that port, and sail about the 16th for New York, and may daily be expected to arrive. The steam ship Hibernia, from Boston, arrived at Liverpool on the 13th ult. She was ten days in going from Halifax to Liverpool, and carried nine days later news from this side of the Atlantic. Charles Dickens has obtained an injunction from the Vice Chancellor’s Court, against several Lon- don publishers, prohibiting them from copying the Chrismas Carol, in prose. The excitement in the English share market had apparently blown over, and the transactions were not so numerous, Cotton absorbs all. The Duc de Bordeaux has left England for the continent. The total sum raised by the League now amounts to £60,000. The nett cost of the occupation and retention of iers to France been about 222,400,000, tather too much for the whistle. ‘Tus Meeting oy Partiavenr.—The following customary ciroular has been addressed to the Conservative Members of the House of Common Wurrenatr, Jan. 4, 1944.

A letter from the Island of Bourbon, UD ig in the French papers, states that England has taken possession of Diego Saurez, a magnificent port in the island of Madagascar. _ Deatnor Sm Hupson Lowr.—This notorious individual—notorious for his brutal treatment as the custodian et Napoleon at St Helena, died on ‘Wednesday last, from an attack of paralysis. In 1814 the honor of knighthood was conferred upon him, 1n.1815 he was appointed to have the custody of Napoleon, at St. Helena. Sir Hudson Lowe was far advanced in life when he died. In 1785, nearly sixty yearsago—he was ensign in the East Devon Militia. = The Duke of Sutherland has already granted sites for a number of churches in his county,and the mi- nisters and people of the free chureh are in commu- uication with his grace, in the confident expecta- tion of obtaining more. #?

EnGuish Opinion oF Amgpican Honor.—The Americans have rai loan, but it is out of their own pockets. They have been lending each other money, but it is only to decoy others to do the same. The accomplices ofa thimble-rig proprietor lend money to each other for the purpose of dra’ ing on the bystanders to play the game. Such the intention, no doubt, of an American loan,raised out of the pockets of the Americans. _ It other na. tions:are inclined to trust them, the Yankees will make’ themselves safe, and then—repudiate. If,by chance, the pea is discovered under the nght thim- ble, the proprietor of the “ He inscantly com- miences a row, upsets the table, loses the pea, peskets the cash, and, in word, “repudiates.” In fact, repudiation is a convenient mode of disposin; of sundry small claims; and as America has trie iton a large seale, we strongly recommend its ap- plication to smaller matters—such as tailor’s bills, and the claims of one’s landlord.—London Punch. Isramus or Panama.—The ppedions of forming e passage across the Isthmus of Panama having be- come of late. an object of attention, a history of the circumstances connected with it may not be inopportune. In 1833 the Goyernment of New Granada granted exclusive priviege for opening.a road or canal between the Atlantic and Pacifie Oceans. The rate of toll was to be established Dae tween the ‘contracting parties for the term of years, at the end of which time the improvements were to revert to the Government of New Granada, while the lands were to remain the property of the contractors. However, the contracts thus made, it seems, expired in 1842, having failed in point of time. About, two years ago a public meeting washeld by the inhabitants ef Panama, and a me- moral to the Goyernrnent of New Granada was signed, requesting that the contract might be placed in the hands of Mr. Wheelwright, the local agent for the Pacific Steam Meggnts ena r. Wheelwright also received a personal application on the subject, and sent hi8 proposal to the Gongess at Bogota, where, however, nothing was effected. because the forfeiture of the French contract hai formally declared. An interview between ident and Mr. Wheelwright at Carthagena was likewise attended by no immediate result but it was so far satisfactory that the latter learne he might easily obtain his object by appearing per- senally, at Bogota. Letters received since that SHod (ofortae Mr. Wheelwright that there is no longer any obstacle at New Granada to oppose his plans, and therefore it appears the only opposition at present is that of parties at home. Tur Inon Trave.—Birmingham, Jan. 11.—The usual iron masters’ quarterly meeti! have taken place during the present week at Walsall, Wolver- ampton, and in this town. The assemblage in our town hall to-day was numerous, the great ma- jority of the most extensive iron masters from the eo districts and many from Wales being present, and as a matter of course, taking great in- terest in the business proceedings of the meeting During the last week it was reported that an at- tempt would be made to effect a reduction in the price, of iron; and sesterday, at an adjourned meeting of masters, held at ‘Wolverhampton, in accordance with this prediction, a gentleman from Lendon, largely interested in the iron trade, mov- ed that bariron be reduced at the rate of 10s. per ton. The motion found a seconder, and that wa: all, for upon its being put to the meeting, the propos: ed resolution was, with the exception of its authors, rejected by the entire assembly. The prices,there- fore, remain the same as last quarter ; bariron from £5 10s. to £6 per ton ; pigs, according to their qua- lity, from £2 15s. to 5s.; hoops £6 10s.; sheets to £7 10s. Many of the most extensive works are in full employ, and altogether the trade presents a more cheering appearance than was anticipated about a month ago. Tue Frye Arts ix TraPatcan-squarr.—The equestrian statue of George TV. has at length been relieved of its tarpaulin, and the first Gentleman in Enrope now stands revealed in all the splendour of a bronze table-cloth " His Majeety teuttorly hatless, and carries in his hand a_ roll of music—so that osterity will be under the impression that George V, used to ride about, in the streets uncovered, with a tremendous quantity of table-linen suspended from his shoulders. The ‘way in which the table cloth toga is disposed says much for tie tact of the artist in getting up linen. The horse is a splendid specimen of equestrian sculpture. The fetlock is a study for Widdicomb, aadgthe ears are thrown on with ease and elegance not often meet with. The eye is beautifully dotted with a brown spot of bronze, designed by the artist, we believe, as a lesson for one of his own pupils. The lash, however—as may be expected with such a horse as the one we are now upon—is wanting. The only fault in the ani mal is in the shoeing ; but this is to be remedied if the frost sets in, for the artist has instructions to have the noble anime! rough-shod immediately.— London Punch. Revorters—THeR ImportTANcE To ‘tHE PuBiic. —The London Morning Chronicle of the 13th of January, thus speaks of these artists, with every word of which we agree:—'* We do not hesitate to say that by far the most i rtant department of the public press is that whic! in the hands of re- porters. ‘They are the true artists-who ‘show the very age and body of the time his form and pres- sure.” They are the impartial and authentic, though perhaps too copious historians, whose toil, when the labors of others are forgotten, will leave permanent memorials behind. Those who have at all reflected on the nature of good newspaper re- porting will not need to be told that it can only come from men of education and ability. S hand writing is but one of the necessary qualifica- tions. Knowledge of life, and familiarity both with literature and the wide range of politica! topics, are called constantly into play, by the im- portance, variety and delicacy ofthe matters to be dealt with, and a scrupulous accuracy of statement is indispensable where all the world can criticise. Moreover, reporting has become an essential part of the social machinery. The whole of our po! cal system may be said, in a certain sense, to rest upon it. Public interests of great moment are con- stantly affected by the accuracy of published re- ports; and if the importance of such accuracy is not more frequently felt, it is because instances of gross or wiltul misrepresentation are of the rarest occurrence, Prusstan Customs.—The following is the reply of the King of Prussia to a_ prayer of the Provin- cial Diet of Westphalia, asking for higher duties on foreign linen and linen-yarn;—“Our paternal heart sincerely grieves for the depressed condition of the flax-spinners and_linen-weavers of the pro- vince of Westphalta. Considerations of the great- est weight, however, as will be seen by the memo- tial of our Minister of Finance, are opposed to the proposal made—to remedy this state of things by an increase uf the import duty on foreign linen and linen-yarn, and by establishing differential duties on colonial produce. Our authorities are continu- ally endeavoring to keep open,as much as possible, all existing outlets to foreign countries, to regain those which have been lost,and to secure new oner in other quarters. These endeavors, however, can only he crowned with success, if the manufacture! of Prussia are advantageously distinguished from those of competing nations; and we have full reli- ance, that in this respect the manufacturers wil unite their exertions with those of ourGovernment and that they will not look solely to the latte: remedies of their present depressed situation Prussian Universal Gazette. + Inctpenr.—A singular circumstance aturday evening to two lovers, who y home from Wooton to Charfield, Gloucestershire’ To the fee surprise of the lady she met with her former lover, just returned from America, to make her his bride.

Tie Laser or tar Sruanes —This most wonder- ful character still lives at Tweedmouth. He com- pleted his 115th year at Christmas, 1843. His father General John Stuart, was a cousin of “Prince “harlie,” the Pretender. His grandmother was 1 , well known in old Scotch gong. Jame: art saw those memorable battles daring the rebellion in 1745, Prestonpans and Cu and has spoken to, and had wine with, tender. He served on the side of the royalists in the American war, and was at the battle of Que- nee, where General Wolf lost his life in the mo- ment of victory. He served on board of a man-of- war for many years under those naval heroes, Ad- miral Rodney and Rear-Admiral Hood. He has been five times married, and now lives with his fifth wile, 75 years younger than himself. He has had by his several wives 27 children; ten of them have beenkilled in battle, five of them in India, two at Trafalgar, under Nelson, one at Waterloo, and two at Algiers. For nearly 60 years he has travelled in the Border districts as a pin minstrel, playing ona fiddle, but he never aske alms of any one. Hundreds of persons can hear testimony to his amazing strength, from which c cumstance he got the bye-name of ‘‘Jemmy Strength.” Among other feats he could carry a 24 pounder cannon, and he has been known to lift a cart load of hay, weighing a ton and a half, upon his back. Many a time he has taken up a jackass, and walked through the toll-bar, carrying it on his shoulders. It will be long before we*can look upon his like again, to hear his stories of 1745, and hi lowing descriptions of the Young Chevalier.— ye shire Advertiser. Theatrical, Travian Tueatnicats.—The theatre of La Per- gols at Florenge opened on the 26th of December, for the cai . Parisina has been revived, Ba bieri Nini playing the heroine ; Musich, Ugo; Se- bastiano Ronconi, Azzo ; and Miral, Ernesto.— ‘This opera was originally produced at the same theatre in the fan ote eben ihe principal of: racters were played by Unghes, Duprez, Cosselli, ppd Pong, Comelli sx-Aano had: croaied such, eat tion both in 1833 and in 1836, (at the ‘eatro- Alfieri) that it was thought his successor, Sebastiano Ronconi uld have an over-urduous task to accomplish » he has, however, been com- pletely successful'in the opinion of the admirers of * lyric tragedy.” wae Rasa ‘Thalberg intends visiting Rome and Florence, arid then will repair to Paris, in which city he re- pe till the om of March, ng attorwartsy ace cording to his sent jelermgnation, proceeds to the United States.

Treland, Tur Rerxat Association.—On Monday, Jan. 8, the weekly meeting of the Re ‘Association took place. jane Ersoneings were more than usually animated, ow: to the presence of Mr. O'Connell, who made seve! speeches during the day, and spoke with his usual buoy- ancy and humor. The chair was filled by an ex-justice— one of the dismissed—Mr. Lynch, of Ballycuhercastle. Several remittances were handed in, and amongst them the sum of £129 9s. 8d. from the Riode la Plata, which afforded Mr. O'Connell an opportunity, in alluding to this the first subscription from South Americ: the progress of repeal, and the interest which it excit in every part of the world. ‘Those who attempted to su press them by State prosecutions resembled little children who attempted by a dim to stop the course of the moun- tain torrent, which, though impeded in its progress for a time, out-topped the dyke, and carried away every impe- diment in its mighty course—(Cheers). Mr. Ray, the se- cretary, informed the meeting that Mr. Bianconi, the great car proprietor in the south of Ireland, had within the last few days given the association{ liberty to send its parcels by his conveyances free of any charge whatever. Mr O°Connell,! with a high eulogy on the character of Mr Bianconi, whose cars had made travelling cheaper than walking, stated that that gentleman had applied to the Tories, when they were last in office, for leave to be na- ne, pecaaees as tal ihe a dlbsatins, autiens to great exactions; the ject @ » bul 16 WI J to thelr ovedit, had not weeks in office before they granted Mr. Bianconi letters of denizenship— (Cheers), Mr. O'Connell Sgein frees himself and said, he never rose with hi lings of gratification to address them than he didon that oc mn, He was the apostle of the doctrine, that one single drop of blood would defeat the best organized “ conspl- racy”—(a laugh)—and he was happy to find that from the extreme north to the south of Ireland the people weve deter’ tice the it har there shedld bo ne Whrsegieg ee oeee tag ee oe during the trials which were comi:g on: and what differ- ence would it make, if he were found guilty or not, to the great cause in which they were all engaged?

In fb beaganiag: of last year their re- ceipts were only £70 aweek, and now amounted weekly to many hundreds. He referred to Mr. Montgomery Mar- tin’s pamphlets, and stated that a few yeara hack he sub- scribed £20 towards the establishment of a newspaper coke in London, called the Repealer, of which Mr. jartin was the editor. After some remarks ai ig out the letter of the Rev. Dr. Slattery, Roman Catholic Arch- hop of Cashel, calling his attention to the book entitled “Ireland as a Kingdom anda Colony,” in which the writer stated that the Catholic prieste in’ Ireland encouraged early marriages in consequence of the fees which they received, Mr. O’Connell referred to the continual attacks of the Tory press on the Catholic clergy of Ireland —de- scribed the Landlord and Tenant Commission, with Lord the “greatest humbug that ever ex- ion stated, that although ke had been forty years sere « for Ireland he had never yet been amartyr for her, but that he was now ready to become # martyr. ‘The rent for the week exoeeled £500, Tue State Triate. he affairs of Ireland, now that jonster trials” are again approaching, begin to ex- cite attention. Yesterday week, the 43 who had been drawn by ballot to serve on the special jury which is to try the traversers, were reduced to 24. Gut of eleven Ro- man Catholics which the list contained, all the members of that persuasion were objected to by the Crown, and were accordingly struck off. This proceeding, as may be imagined, has given great umbrage to the repeal party, and the government has been attacked with ‘at Litter: ness for adopting a line of conduct which looks very like aforegone conclusion to pack a jury to ensure convic- tion. hoe ne is the indignation ex) nced in Dublin at the striking off all the Roman Catholics from the jury list, that a requisition for calling an aggregate meeting of ¢ Catholics of Ireland war ed in three hours by six- ty-five barristers, only three of whom are rs, The requisition lists’ are filling very rapidly, and the deepest excitement prevails, especially amongst the Roman Catho- lic population.

Post) understand that the Government in Ireland is fully pre- pared to enter upon the prosecution of “O'Connell and others” on the appointed day. At a late hour on Monday night the briefs for the Crown Counsel (13 in number) were ready for delivery. ‘The briefs are partly printed, and pertly eg , and each contains between 340 and (260 pages. - The letterpress printing: alone in each brief occupies 170 pages, so that it would seem there is plenty of one sort or another to be proved. All persons concerned are called upon by the Crown to be present in Dublin by Sunday the 14th, atthe latest ; and on Monday itis expected that the battie of the lawyers will in good earnest begin. Thursday, Jan. 11, being the first day of Hilary Term the courts were opened with the usual formaliti Alter the swearing of the city and county grand juri plication was made by the county re 4 jury, to be allow: ed to occupy their box during the trials. 'M ice B after consulting with the shi Deen allotted to the reporters, is colleagne: and himself were of opinion that it was proper and ex; lient under the circumstances of the case, that there should be a place allotted for the reporters, and accordingly they thought what the sheriff had done in that respect was right.

This measure ous among the gentlemen of the who have called a meeting of their pro. fession, to take into consideration the course they should adopt tinder the circumstances. ‘There are xeveral objec: tions to reporters Reve! 4 called on, against their will, to give evidence on a political trial—frst, if the principle be established, the public confidence in them will be conside rably shaken, and where they are at present freely ad mitted to witness and yeport ‘public proceedings, they will either be excluded, or received with distrust ant The second objection in the present instance, is, if well founded, a very strong one.

Itia now known that about sixty-six names have been suppressed, of these thirty-six are Catholics, and the remainder either Conser- vatives, who would not attend, or Liberal Protestants who could. It is quite clear that according to all the doctrines of chances this would have placed three more Liberals. at least upon the list of forty-eight; and thus it would have been impossible for the Crown to have succeeded to the extent so justly denounced in manufacturing a jury to try the “conspirators.” This rumor does not, however, tally with the conduct of thecrown, which, anticipating ‘along day for the ‘monster trials,” had served notices upon the traversers that application willbe made to the Court of Queen’s Bench that the intervening period between this and the 15th of April next shall be taken to be a part of the ensuing Hilary term ,for the purposes of the i!

Now, amost abounding discrepanc tween the number of gentlemen admitted rors by the Regorder, and the number set forth on the high sherift's list is undeniably true. ‘The high sheriff's ist contains 717 names ; whereas the number _as qualified lurors by the Recorder amounted to 780. This, we re- Jeat, is a fact which has now been ascertained beyond the sibility of all cavil or donbt. Who, then, is chi sion? Who thus It appears from the information that has reached us on this momentous point, that the Recorder admits that the high sheriff’s list is not a faithful transcript of the juror’s book, as prepared and authenticated by him. Yes, we repeat, Mr. Recorder Shaw admits that some 63 entlemen whom he placed on the panel do not appear on i high sherift’s list, from which the special jury was struc! Is not this astartling announcement? But the question again presents itself, by whom were the sixty-three names omitted ? ‘The mystery of this dark transaction has not yet bé@n pentectly cleared up. We can only state leading facte—the 11 details, however, must soon see the light. Conceal- ment is utterly impossib! ‘We are so far in possession of the facts as to state that after the Recorder had concluded the revision of the panel —but before that panel had been Lidinsy ta in alphabetical order, &e., he left Dublin on a visit to Sir Robert Peel, at Drayton Manor. 0 Accomlingly, as the panel wat erinnged in alphabetical order, it was transmitted, made out on slips, to the Recor der, at Drayton Manor, to be authenticated by him ; and it appears that two slips, containing the sixty-three omit- ted namer, either were not forwarded to the Recorder, or being forwarded, did not come into his hands ; for we un- derstand the Recorder has no recollection of the omitted names having reached him. Now this places the whole matter in a nutshell. Either the two missing slips were forwanded to the Re- corder {or they were not, If not forwanied, then the offi- cer responsible is the guilty party. If, however, they were forwarded, then the Recorder is culpable. ‘We deal thus poiutedly with the sbject, because it is mere moonshine to suppose that accident had aught to do with the abstraction of the missing slips.

The re- ply of the Kingto the address of the Chamber of Peers, presented to his Majesty by the grand depu- tation on Wednesday night, refers, however, to the existence of afaction im terms so direct as to at- tract much attention on Thursday, although it was universally admitted tohave reference only to the Duke of Bordeaux and the movements of his par- tisans. lis Majesty, it will be seen, speaks with confidence, however, and our private letters sa with perfect reason, of the impotency of the disaf- fected. ‘ On Wednesday evening, says the Monitenr, Ba ron Pasquier, the Chancellor of France, waited on the King, with the deputation of the Chamber of Peers, and read to his Majesty the address voted by that assembly. The King replied :— Ireceive with pleasure your congratulations on the state of the country, on the increasing prosperity which rance now enjoys, andon the security inspired every- where by the new guarantees which are daily given to us that ex ace and the repose of the world will be tpaintained. fn the interior, et you properly observe, the of the laws is firmly established ; action been conquered, and any vain demonstrations on their part would only serveto prove their impotence.

They, however, rallied, and closed—the Three per Cents at 82f. 56c.; the Five per Cents, at 124f. 50c. ; Or- leans shares, at 885f. ; Rouen, S25f. ; Havre, 650f.; Avignon, 665f. No business was done in the Spa- nish Actives. Onr correspondent. writes as follows :— “Rumors are again in circulation unfavorable for the existence of the istry. T have had communications w uld leave little doubt on the matter, but there is apparently so complete an absence of cause, thatit is hardly pos- sible to believe that they are well founded. You will read with interest the speech of the King last night in answer to the address of the Peers. I hope it will not be lost upon the party for whomit was intended, for if ever there go utterly incapable of eflecting a revolution, it is that of the Legitimatists, expected to be able to com- telligence in our present publi- @ extraordinary omission of some six e special jury list prepared by the understand the matter, A report was circulated during the early part of the present week, that because of the friendly: cone nexion of the French and British Governments which now so happily subsists, “* the noble Fau- bourg” had taken umbrage, and would one and all refrain from availi themselves of the ele- ant hospitalities of the British Embassy. Never was rumor more unfounded. Lady Cowley gave lastnight a ball and supper, which, for splendor and gaiety, has never yet been exceeded at that far-famed seat of ton and magnificence.— Among the thousand distinguished guests received by her Ladyship on the occasion were, I need hard- ly say, the élite of British, foreign, and French society, including amon the latter the names of Rohan Chabot, Beaufremont, Noailles, Leon, Rich- elieu, Clermont Tonnerre, &c. It was not until an advanced hour of the morning that the Gal aniett party took leave of their noble and liberal hosts, ord and Lady Cowley. The sees portion of the brilliant and happy assemb’ age, were, I may be permitted to add, emi- nently indebted for their enjoyment to the elegant attentions, to the grace. it, and animated exam- ple of the Hon. Miss elle ley. Tue Srate or France.—‘t We are not,” says the Siécle, ‘“famong those who regard the present government as seriously menaced. The precau- tions which it is now taking against an attempt of the Duke of Bordeaux to land on the coast of Nor- mandy, appear to us puerile ; and the exceptional laws iene it keeps in reserve against the Legiti- matists are, in our opinion, an untoward concep- tion. Nevertheless,.we are struck with the anal- ogy existing between the present situation of affairs and that which preceded 1830. At this moment, as well as then, there are sinister presentiments, vague terrors abroad, and the country appears to be waiting in expectation of some change. M. de Chateaubriand, like Simeon in the Scripture, blesses in London the political advent of the Duke of Bordeaux ; M. Laffitte deplores in Puris the de- struction of our institutions, and the disappointment of his patriotic hopes ; M. de Lamartine secedes from the pretended Conservatives, whom he con- ceives to be hurrying to their ruin; M. Odillon Burrot remains in the Opposition, because he teels acold contempt tor a corrupt and corrupting sys: tem. These facts are significantly ominous. The demonstrations made at Belgrave square by a few hundred squires and landowners, and in Paris by the young men of the schools, the usual advanced uard of the rest of the population, are scenes sim lar to those which marked the last days of the Restoration. The differences that have arisen be- tween the manicipel power and the Executive are memes of a still more alarming character. The clergy, by its recent hostility towards the Univer- sity, hasinflicted a wound on the present Govern- ment in its most vital part, and endangered. its very existence, by indisposing against itthe youth of our Colleges. We feel also bound to say, that the men,to whose hands our destinies are confided, appear to be possessed with that spirit of insanity which produces, catastroph After past experi- ence, and knowing the antipathy of the country for apanages and dotations, it isan act of folly or felony on the part of Ministers to induce a belief that they coul poeeihly think of demanding a civil list for the eventual Regent; in their anxiety to consolidate their influence at Court, they are not afraid to sacrifice the popularity of the royal fa- mily. It is equally easy to perceive from the treatmeatjof our Government by foreign powers, that they entertain no great confidence in its sta- bility. “The most friendly of those governments, the one with whom we have a ‘cordial under. standing,’ seems to have undertaken the task of mortifying us on every occasion and every where; for it will be seen by the last London journals, that even before the arrival of our Ambassador Jhina, it is sought to render us an object of rid cule in that country. We do not infer from all these circumstances that a revolution is imminent, and that the Government cannot be withdrawn from the ruinous course which it is pursuing—we only trust that our rulers mey regard them as a salutary warnin *. . We have received Madrid pay the 5th. From Madrid the news is unimportant,but from Saragossa we learn that a disturbance took place between the military and the people of the town, in which severul persons were wounded, We are not informed what the origin of the affair was, and it is described as if not being of great consequence; but al! popular commotions in the resent excited state of Spain are ominous, and we ve reason to think that, in this mstance, the at- fair wes more sarions than is admitted. The Madrid Gazette contradicts officially, the statement made by the Espectador of the disarma- ment of the national mil Tt does not mention, however, though it might have done so with equa truth, that that measure was resolved by M. Gon- zales Bravo, until he was remonstrated with by the French ambassador. The Government candidates for the vacancies in the Congress are at length published. The list con- tains the names of MM. Martinez de la Rosa, cedal, Guerrero, Pena Florida, and others. It generally supposed that the Progressista candidates will be successful. The election takes place oa the Sth. The appointment of the Duke de Rivas as ambas- sador at. Naples is officially announced ‘The Espectador speaks of the retirement of M Gonzales Bravo to “that obscurity from whic ought never to have been drawn,” as a fact gene rally believed, and attributes his retirement, among other matters, to the repugnance manifested to- wards him by Queen Christina, who has expressed a great dislike to his having access to the young Queen. The Espectador also says—‘ For the last three days the antechamber of the Minister of Finance hias been observed to be crowded with persons who never assembled there but when. there is a good deal to be gained.” A contract in perspective is spoken of. at the head of which figures an advance of ten millions of reals for actual advances made by M. Buchenthall, at the moderate rate of 85 per cent interest. It is also said that M. Carrasco is Gadeaterina to obtain considerable advances on thr customs and the frutos civiles The address of the British minister at hie presentation, and her Majesty’s reply, have ex- ed particular attention here, on account of the unwonted meaning, spirit, and feeling infused into the compositions. Jt appears as if the two fair sovereigns vied in the expression of good will to- warde each other and admiration of the high cha racteristics of their respective people—availing themselves of the happy opportunity to be at once complimentary, generous, and just. If “high con- tracting parties’ would venture to imitate this na- tural and expressive style, perhaps the world might intime forget the severe reproach addressed to courtiers and orators in ordinary in the political axiom, ‘* Speech was given to man to conceal hit thoughts.” Another interesting novelty attended this interchange of kind assurances and pleasing ideas. The British Minister spoke in [nglish, and the Spanish Queen replied in Spanish, f they felt it arelief to escape from diplomatic “ common places.” Certainly the marked and mutual “ good understanding” which pervaded both speeches lost nothing by the non-employment of the foreign tongue which enshrines the original of the political aphorism above mentioned. Narvaez is, however, doomed not to be allowed to enjoy his honors and powers without res ponst- vility. “The explanations which hi t in the Council and Palace on the subj terference in laying before Her Majesty the namee of individuals “definitively approved” for high ap- pointments, have led to a new and. important ar- rangement, which is thus stated:—Narvaez to be the “acknowledged” President of the Council, and without Porttolio ; Gonzalez Bravo probably to ontinue Minister for Foreign Aflairs; Senor Mon to take the portfolio of Finance, Castro of Justice, Miraflores of the Home Department, and Pezuela of War. The retirement of the Fe i Ministry is not, however, yet positively settled, for the passive resistance of the Provincial Deputation of Madrid uses great uneasiness. In this influential body it is said that only two voices are raised in behalf of government. It will not resign, like the Ayunta miento of Madrid, but, is keeping up its organiza- tion and opposition at the same time Portugal.
