Duauin, July 3, 1847, T anticipate my usual weekly letter, to give the latest intelligence by this day’s post. At the meeting of the Repeal Association, held on Mon- day last, Mr. John O’Connell announced himself as can- didate for the representation of Dublin, on the repeal interest and required that he should be returned free ot expense; he also stated that he would allow himself to be nominated for Kilkenny, in the event of want of success in Dublin. Hore his defeat is almost certain, the conservatives being supposed already to havea majori- ty,and Mr. J. O’Connell is supported only by a section ef the ropeal party; the Irish Confederation having pub- lished @ resolution not to vote for him, inasmuch as he is devoted to an English ministry, “and that an Irish representative who professes repeal principles, yet assis's the British government to rule this island in the only way they have ever ruled it, viz: by corruption of an anti-repeaier of the most dangeroug and insidious kind.”’ In the Corporation, at an election held there on Fri- day last, Mr, Jeremiah Dunne was elected Lord Mayor, Mr. Garn Duffy, the talented editor and proprietor of the Nation, on that occasion expressed an opinion that they should elect Alderman Kinahan next Lord Mayor; that such @ course, he being a conservative, would tend to promote the cause of repeal, and would do away with the imputation Lag they kept all political power % and to thelr own party. ‘The Irish Council held its usual weekly meeting on Tuesday, H.C. Bowen, Esq, High Sheriff of Queens county, in the chair. Sub-oommittees to overlook und direct the working of Irish fisheries and the poor law were appointed, and other Important businoss was trans- ted. acl . ‘ho stated balf yearly meeting of the Irish Mini Company was held on Friday lust, at 30, Lowor Ormon Quay. from the state of their affairs, {t seemed advisu- ble that for the present no dividend should be declared; it was mentioned that the Knockmatron mines were rated for the poor law at 10,000 pounds, reduced on ap- peal to 5,000. By the practice in England {t would not exceed 2000, and that not borne by the company, ‘The second reading of the loan of £660,000 to Irish railways, notwithstanding addresses anticipatory, has passed the second reading ne majority of 113. Among the Irish bills awaiting third reading previous to ob taining the royal assent, are the Cork and Bandon, Black rock, and Passage, the Dublin Gas Consumer's Company, the Midiand Great Western, the Newry and Enuiskilien and Wauerford, Wexford and Dublin railway bills. Government have granted % pension of £300 a year to Father Mathew, the distinguished upostiv of teampe- rance. Froin the accounts of receipts published by the Gene- ral Relief Comuittee in this morping’s paper, it appears that £5,494 have been contributed by the United States, besides immense stores of provisions, Mr. MacTarish, stated by the Evening Packet to bes connexion of Lord Morpeth, occupied the chair of the Repeal Association on Monday, contributed £5, and is put in nomination for Dundalk, from which young Dan O'Connell retires; Mr, Me’. ih suid to be a dercendant of one of the signers of the delaration of American Inde- pendence. Lord Lucan, last week in Dublin, prosecuted dish, Eaq., proprietor of the Castlebar Tele- groph, for a libel retiecting on his conduct as a landlord. A verdict was given by the Dublin jury in favor of the defendant, a remarkuble sign of the times. Dr. Power, candidate for Cork, isin a majority of 211 over his oppo- nent, Mr. Leader, by the last accounts, Old and Young Ireland Repeaters have combined in supporting the former gentleman, whose return is in. We have four candidates up for the University, and a very active canvass is going on in their respective favors—Shaw and Hamilton, the sitting members, and Napier the eminent Queen’s Counsel, and MeCullagh, the famous mathematician. ‘The crops are stil wearing the same favorable appear. ance as in my last, and the weather most delightful, Potatoes are selling commonly in town and country, the lowest 2d. per lb. At ‘Trieste prices are declining. From Naples mention is made of the harvest promising 10,000,000 hectoliters beyond home consumption. Italy in general, and the Continent, send the same accounts. Some Indian cot heated in the customs, sold at 178, per qr., for which 268. was offered on its’ arrival. Smithfield Cattle Market, July Ist, the highest price for beef was 668. per cwt., 10s. off the preceding week Bacon promises to maintain its price better than any article in the market.

Fever still prevails as violent as ever in Belfast, Kil- kenny, Ke. ‘he Dublin fever hospitals are full of patients, yet it seems to excite no ularm in the sity. The new Lora Lieutenant has ordered every article of irish manufacture for the use of the court, ‘The oxhibi- tion held this week reflected highly on the skill of Dub- lin manufacturera, and all classes seem at length deter- mined to afford them support. There are at present two millions nine hundred thousand persons receivin rations at the public expense, under the out door reli system, now in operation in this country. ‘The Dublin Vniversity Magazine, of last month, quotes Sir Robert Kane as stating thet between August, 1842, and April 44, °48, 203 acres of land, liable to be overflooded, were reclaimed ut a cost of £2 134. 3d, per acre. Our principal theatre still remains closed. ‘The Queon’s theatre, under the management ef Mr. Prosser, draws full houses.

Panis, July 1, 1847 Eprton oy New Youx Henaty :— There is a common saying, that when rogues fall out honest mon get their own. The quarrel which took place some months since between the cabinet of M. Guizot and that section of the chambers known by the name of the young conservatives, has been followed by sppailing discoveries of corruption and malversation in high places and in regions where the very atmosphere was supposed to be redolent of integrity. I alluded to this in my Just, but rince then “great facts,’ as the Times calls such things, have taken place, You already know that M. Emile de Girardin, the cbief editor and proprictor of the Paris journal called La Presse, and who being a deputy, is one of the leaders of the young conservatives in the chamber, having quarrelled with M, Guisot, forthwith denounced the ministry in his journal for converting their official patronage into a marketable commodity, ‘and using the pecuniary produce of this traftic for the parpose of prostituting the daily press. The Chamber of Peers called M, de Girardin before it to answer for the contempt committed, in saying that Peerages were sold. On the alledged offender presenting himself at their bar he showed, that so far from insulting the Peers, he was, their best protector and friend; that he was in fact eup- porting their dignity when he exposed to public indig- nation the attempt made to lower their consideration y offering seats in the house to any one that could af ford to pay a market price for thew. He declared that his charges were directed not against the Peers, but against the Mi and instead of retracting those charges, he re-produ ed them, declaring that he was ready to provetbem at the bar of any court of jurtice. The result of all this was, that M. de Girardin came off elumphant, being acquitted of all offence; or, to speak more correctly charge against hi being dismissed a8 groundless, by an immense majority All this was followed, of course, by * general expecta- tion that the cabinet would either vindicate itself by prosecuting M. de Girardin as libe!: or resigning.— "ree an yet, however, done pow eat e general tendency of the policy pure French ent, continues to’ be reactions ; that is to say,the reverse in all respects of that wisich revolution of July. Thus it a ‘h diplomacy is 0} tothe liberal pasty. it in os vumete Swit- where tho French ambassador seconds Austria oJ and opposes the liberal movement of the cantons.

Groeee it is the sume. aha iu The quarrel between Greece and Turkey has been brought to an issue, or nearly so. The outrage commit- ted against the Turkish minister at Athens by King Otho, was too flagrant to be countenanced even by Austria, and all the diplomatic corps except the French ambassa- dor agreed that reparation and apology were indispensa- ble, ‘The insulted ambassador will, therefore, resume bis) post at Athens, and reoeive the excuses of te king a cabit n after which it is expected that he will be withdrat caer At present there Is generally a fair prospect of a har- vest throughout France, anden excellent vin is also expected. plererthalomsit is certain that large Importa- jons will be necessary, now and in fut P ‘The free importation law has been o be con: to tinued until next borders 8 it which time the chamber will be in session, and no doubt will decide in favor of its still farther continuance. Notwithstanding the frequent rumors of a change of ministry, the present cabinetis likely to continue in of- fice until the commencement of the next session. Thc season is now advanced—people are anxious to re Paris for the country, the watering places, and our «um- mer towns. and in this ing the chambers participate. They will hurry over the business of the country, and close their labors for the present session, withont serious struggle. Spain, Mapnip, June 26, 1847. Eorror or tux New Yorx Henarv,— No Court, no government in Europe, presents, or has for a long period of time presented, the strange moral spectable which is offered to the public eye, and openly discussed in the public press of this capital, of one of the greatest, most ancient, and most powerful kindoms of the old world. Here is a young girl, a child, we had almost said, who only completed her sixteenth year on the Ist of last October, and married a fow days later to year the preceding May, sitting on the throne of Custile ‘and Arragon, surrounded by all the observances and splendor of royalty, yet doomed to married widowhood— to wedded celibacy. The royal husband retuses to sleep under the roof which covers his wife and sovereign. Meanwhile, the Queen urges her responsible Ministers to promote a suit for nullity of marriage, or divorce @ vinculo, at t) ourt of Rome! For all this no cause is publicly avowed; no light is afforded to the bewildered people of Spain’ to show them how and wherefore thoir youthful Queen should be thrown into a situation so cruel and so anomalous. Although nothing, however, is publicly explained, much is privately talked of, and the salons, not only of Madrid, but of Paris, of London, and the other capitals of Europe, echo with the tale of domestic cruelty and misery of which this situation is the catastrophe. To repeat this story to an Eur ublie would be idle, All readers of journals are fami- iar with it. As, however, it may not beso universally circulated in the new world, the narrative may interest your readers. Maria Christine, daughter of the late, and sister of the present King of Naples, married in 1829, Ferdinand VII., the late King of Spain. In ten months after this mar- riage, a daughter,Isabella, and in sixteen months later, another daugher, Louisa Fernanda, was born of this marriage. By a royal decree, Ferdinand VII. abolished the Salic law, out off the title of succession enjoyed by his brother Don Carlos, and declared the above name daughter, Isabella, heir to the crown, with remainder to her sister, in case she should die without issue King Ferdinand died in September, 1833, leaving by will bis young widow, then only twenty-seven, the regent of the during the minority of her infant daugh- ter, then under three years old. ‘The royal widow was in the bloom of life aud beauty, with the warin blood of the South rolling in her veins. During the life of Ferdinand, the story rans, that walk- ing one day in the gardens of the palace, her eye lighted on @ private soldier who stood sentinel at one of the gates. This soldier was well to look upon, and was grateful to the liquid eye of the royal lady. Soon after this, he found to his astonishment, that he was rapidly romoted, through the influence of invisible patronage. He rose, in shert, at once to wear epaulettes, and was assigned a commission in the body quarl of the king, and finally became domesticated in the palat. of those innumerable tities which are alw: posal of eourtly patrons. This fortunate youth proved on inquiry, to of the keeper of # stall for the sale of segars in Seville. Now, after.the death of Ferdinand, (and some ill-na- turedly contend that it was before that event) the qaven, Maria Christine, conceived a warm friendship for “i. Munog, (for such was the name in which this youth rejoiced) and his presence and society appeared to be indispensable to her happiness. Periodically she was abso observed to be indiaposed, aud showed a remarkable fondness for infants, which, one by one, a8 year suc- ceeded year, she collected around her. The malice of the world is always ready to put the worst csnstruction on appearances, and people were ‘not] wanting who in- sinuated that these objects of her affection were more nearly related to the queen mother and to her friend Munoz than was quite compatible with the strict principles of morals. The scandal thus produced polluted the halls of the palace, and it was at length announced or pretended, that on the death of Ferdinand, the dowager queen had contracted a secret marriage with the promoted sentinel, and that the children of her adoption were in fact the children of her body, by the cigar seller’sson. ‘The pretended marriage, if ever it had taken plate, being illegal and null, and the mother of Isabella being now in a condition of avow- ed concublnage, it was determined to remove such a scoundrel, by rendering the marriage valid by @ royal decree. This decree was accordingly promulged on the llth Ootober, 1844, and two days Inter, the ceremony was performed which made an honest woman of Maria Christine. Some time after th: who was declared to the marriage of the young queen, ve attained her majority on the Sth November, 1843, having then completed her thir. teenth year, was asubject of anxious solicitude among her subjects, and of activo intrigue with Madame Mu- noz, who had new acquired tho title of Duchess of Ri- anzares, by obtaining that dukeaom for the quondam guardsman, her husband. Meanwhile, King Louis Phi- lippe was on the lookout for a good match for his fourth and youngest son, the Duke of Montpensier. A con- nection by marriage directly with the Queen of Spain, would not have been assented to by the other European powers, but it was thought not impossible to manage the thing through the Infante Donna Luisa Fernanda, and by a judicious choice of a husband for Queen Isabella, King Louis Philippe, and his neice Queen Christine, Duchess of Riansares, accordingly put their heads to- gether, and soon concocted an.arrangement to their mu- tual satisfaction. All the particulars of this bargain have not transpired, and possibly never will. But several of its results are before the world, and have become matter of history. Ofthe uncles of the queen, the eldest, Don Carlos,who in right of inheritance and legitimacy elaims the crown, is an exile, his property being confiscated, and his rights forfeited and annulled, The second uncle, Don Francis- co de Paula, had sons, the two oldest of whom were Don Francisco d’Assis, Duke of Cadiz,and Don Henrique, Duke of Seville. ‘The younger of these, the Duke of Seville, was one of the candidates for the hand of his consin, Queea Isabella,which had been named powers, and by leading political parties in 8; elder had obtained part ofhis education at one ofthe col- leges in Paris, where he was personally well known, and the cireumstances there reported respecting him were of course quite familiar to his uncle, Louis Phillippe, and his aunt, the queen dowager, Christine. These circum- stances cannot be properly stated here; but suffice it to aay, that they were such as to assure in @ remarkable manner, the objects which the king of the French had heart,in reference to the marriage it was accordingly decided at the Tuilleries and Madrid, that Don Francisco, aud not Don Henrique, abould be the king consort of Spain, the Infanta Louisa Fernanda, heres presumptive to the crown, being given to the Duke of Montpe: this design against all contingencies, it was decided that the two marriages should be solomnized the same day. ‘Tho marriages jhad not been long concluded before their oo juenoes became ay it. The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, quit Madrid for Paris as soon as they decently could. The queen mother was compelled to leave soon after, and followed thein to Paris, where it was intimated to her that her return to Spain was for- bidden, and if a that she would be arrest- the frontier.

After along eon- ference, Keying solicited time for consideration botere he acceded to the terms dictated at the point of the bayo- net by Sir John Davis, On the 6th, general orders were issued to commence the attack on the city of Canton. but between eight and nine o'clock, it was notified that ie ing bad yivided to the terms of Sir John Davis, just in time to save the city, and the assault was couatermend- ed. A Government notification was immediately issued. of which the following are briefly the heads:— “1. At the fixed period of two years from this day, the ‘th of April, the city of Canton shall be opened to British subjects. “2 Her Majesty's subjects shall be at liberty to roam for exercise or amusement in the neighboring country, without molestation returning the same day, as at - hai, and any persons molesting them shail be sev punished. “3. ‘The aggreesors on the two seamen in October last, and on Colonel Chesney and others st Fuhshan on the 12th of March, shall be made examples of.”” A spaceon the Honan side of the river for the erection of warehouses, Kc.; @ site for @ new church; and other minor arrangements, including tho keeping the river front before the factories clear of bouts, were provided for. After agreving to these terms, Keying still evaded their fulfilment, and it was only after further demonstrations of strength and resolution ou the part of Sir John Davis, by threatening the city, and by actually razing a house to the ground, whence a stone had been hurled against an English ofiicer, that Keying reluctantly consented at last to punish the Fubshan rioters within the factories.
