I * HAWC £ . —The London Times of Satnrday says , — "An exceedingly-well-written , though of course ] nl ! i * Keptttilican , article on the elate and prospects I of 5 paia » appears in the National of Wednesday . Tie writerridicules ine declaration of the Queen ' s m > jor ty , assumed by the commentators as the panacea for all the evils of that country , and predicts that the divisions that hare so loBg existed , and which still exist , in Spain -will btcome more decided under the administration of the Council of ilinisters ; and with this additional inconveniencethat the Queen , who has not hitherto been regarded as connected with politics , will hereafter necessarily fce identified with the acts of her Government . The irriter deduces from these facts a conviction that Spain and Portugal will ultimately resolTe into & Federal Republic "
The Weather has been exceedingly cold at Paris . At six o ' clock on Tuesday morning the thermometer ( Fahrenheit ) marked only 271 degrees of tfaperainre . Qa Wednesday morning it was still colder . TEhe -weather was , bowerer , remarkably- fine , ! Phs Wsaiseb , —At six o ' clock on . Wednesday Doming the thermometer ( centigrade ) marked three degrees 3 lOths below zero { about 2 G of Fahrenheit ); at twelve o ' clock , 7-lOths absve zero { otM of Fahrenheit ) . After an extremely cold night a heavy iall oTsnow set in in Paris on Thursday morning , which continued through the greater part of the day .
Accounts from the departments announce that the river * , which wore swollen by the late rains , are gradually falling . The Rhone has nearly re-entered its bank ? , and 1 he Dnrance has altogether done so . Fortunately , those rnundations liave l ) een nf short dnration , ¦ which circnmstaBce lessened the amount of damage , though still the tffectB Df the disaster are -rery considerable . The road between Aries and Tarascon remains broken np in '" not less than eleven places . Tte loss occasioned by the carrying away of the -wooden bridge at Aries is estimated at 40 , 000 f . The chief part of it . stopped at the little island of La Capa , where it has been firmly fixed . It is said that the bridge of boats at Saint Gilies has been also carried off . The carnage caused in the neigKhaui'Lood of Pertnis , by the rise of the .
DaTAEce , is incalculable . Several ^ points in the H ante-Pyrenees have also suffiared exceedingly . The Larros spread over a vast length of country , covering the line plain of Oson , and threatening the little-town of Tournay with destruction . Happily the -waters began to subside just at the moment when the danger appeared most imminent . The handsome bridge of Chelle "was carried away , when on the point of being completed . In three days more the last stone would have been put on . Fortunately no lives were lost in this neighbourhood . The commune of Lanobre , and several others of the canton of Taures , have been mnch damaged by the- late rains , as well as by the high wind which afterwards * rooe- The Tiavi . ga . tion of ihe AHier has been
interrupted by the melting of the snow in the-mountains Of Qermont . About twenty coal-lighters have been wrecked along its banks , —GalignanVs Messenger ^ The Imphisosed Bfpcbucass . —During several days the -Republican prints of Paris have been appealing against the species of imprisonment to which the state prisoners are subjected , and which is described as a return to all the horrors of the fendal times . The National has the following article on the political prisoners at Mont Saint JJiebel : —* Tie ministers persist in keeping silence < m the barbarities inflicted npon the prisoners at Mont St . Michel . As they are obstinate in holding their tongues , we are equally determined to speak
on . 2 * o one must be suffered to remain inxJonbt as to the illegal and abominable acts of-violence cominitted in tbi 3 frightful abode . Public indignation must be called to the relief of violated law and insulted humanity . The Depnties must be enlightened jby incontesiible facts omhe xesnlss cf the cellular -system , as applied to political prisoners . These facts b » Te already been Baled by us , and repeated hy several journals . We return to them again , and shall contisne to do 50 until our voice has resounded throughout the whole irorld . Scarcely four year ? have revolved since the prison of Mont Saint JSichel received about thirty young men , all full of life and health . At the end of this short period ,
what , we ask , is the remit of the treatment they have been made to nndereo ! Official returns giye ns theibllqwiag answer r Sienble has ' cat bis throat with a Tfisr ; Bezenxnt has hong iims = lf j n his < JuBKeon ; Jabasse has twice attempted to poison himself ; Austen , Bardon , Charles , and Boudin , hare all since their confinement here become madmen . Tho others have fallen into a state bordering upon idioiism . Thus the first result L =, nine of these prisoners have b&en driven to suicide , or lost in mental alienation . There are others " who hare not yet fallen , but who are afflicted with diseases that will adhere to them throughout theirliTes . Tijese ^ jseases would have quickly terminated their
existence if tiey had nos beenatan from this horrible prison . Thus the government has been obligtd to transfer Barbea \ o Nismes ; Pttreniann , Yilcoq , and Fomberteaq , to Donllens ; Dnbonrdean , to fiordeanx : ; Daponr , to Paris ; aad Hubert , -first to a hospital , and afterwards to St . Pelagie . Such is the balance sheet of Mont St- Michel . For some , death and madness—for © rbera , diseases -which threaten their existence , and which are for the most part incurable . And aU this in less than four years 1 The Ttxa . vts' Fears . —The French Government appears to be incessant and ss active in its preparations to resist internal enemies . ** The only reason sngges-ed fcr this empresiemoit " say cur private letters , *• is that a movement , or perhaps more than one movement , may be expected to take nlaceon the
demise of His Majesty King Pbillippe . The Re forme metitions that ihe Palace or the Tuillerie 3 would be guarded next Trailer by sixteen military posts , sixty-five ctntinels , two pickets of reserve stationed in the galleries of the Pavilion de 1 'Horloge , by a pesi of aides-de-camp encamped at the entrance of the King ' s private apartments , and by fifjy police agents , dres ? ed . in plain clothes , who are to be renewed daily , le > t they sionld be remarked or recognSzsd . Independently of that great military display , the barracks of the Qni d'Orsay , of the Assumption , and Carrousel , which surround and adjoin the TniUerie =, are ni ^ ht and day io hol d forttidable detachments in readiness to take arm 3 at the first signal of danger .
The Paris Commerce contains a long article on * the decay of French commerce , which that paper contends will end in ifce total Joes of all the foreign trade of France , and calling upon Ministers to apply an instantaneous remedy to the evil .

Three writers of the Eco del Comeido , and the principal editors of the EspeeladoY , had been apprehended ss participators in that act . Tni 3 las : journal could not accordingly be pnblished on the 15 ; a . Those writers had been removed to a barrack , where they were provisional ! v confined .
On this , the Morning C 6 ro »» c /« Temark 5 : — " Thus ihe last restige of liberty which remained to the Spaniards has been swept avray , and the liberty 0 / the press trodden under the hoof 3 of its dragoon inters , as its municipal , electoral , and provincial liberties have been irodden down before .

SWEDEN . —Sti ckholh , Nov . 7 th . —A dreadful fire at Wt-xia broke out on this day se ' nnight , n the most densely inhabited part of the town , during a violenisvoim , till thu subsiding of which it could not be checked . In eighteen hours it destroyed fourfifthB of the town ; so that of the new houses built since the last fire only eight remain standing ; and one thousand four hundred persons are burat out . The cathedral is saved . The insurances are to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars . A relief committee has been formed ^ and a deputation arrived yesterday and immediately had an audience of the King , who assured them that he had already called a Council of Slate on tho subject , and obtained a , remittance of thirty thousand dollars , which had been immediately sent by the courier to the governor of that province , who has also been informed that his Majesty is inclined to grant a general aid by way of loan . —Hamburgh paper , Nov . 14 .
ITALY . —It was reported on the Paris Bourse , on Friday and Saturday , ihat the French Government bad received accounis from Naples of a . terioas nature . TDismrbances wtre said to have broken out in * he neighbourhood of Naples , and in Calabria . A letter from Bologna of the 6 : h inst ., states that M . Barrette of Ravenna had been arrested for tbe part he took in the late disturbances . He was lor some time settled at Bo ' ogna . A quantity of arms and ammunition were found in his house . A barber , who was accused of putting up a treasonable placard at a cafe was also anesteU . The disturbances were still far from being put down . Several of the insurgents had taken refueo in Malta and Corsica , and it was said that the Italian estates had-apph * d to have them removed .
It is by no n » eans likely that tbe English Government wiil accede to this request , but the French Government has already so far complied with it as to remo-re all I ; alians from Coistca to ibe interior of France . The two brothers , Muratori , the Counts Beucoli aDd Rijihi , th" Marquis of Mellara , and several other refugees have been ordtred to Chattu Rouge . Palermo , Octobkb 24 . — The troops in the garrison hrre are kepi in constant exercise , particularly at night . At buch an exercise and sham fights several soldier * bad loaded their muskets secretlv with ball cartridges , and availed themselves of the darkness ot the night W get rid of some of their most unpopular officers . No less than ten < -fficer > are mentioned as having become the victims of their men , but the full truth will never come to light .
" The reports , " Fays the Commerce . " which got into circulation relative to disturbances in Sicily on the arrival of the Neapolitan steamer Neituno at Toulon Are likewise memioned in a letter from Leghorn , of the 9 ; h instant . Tne Government was making prepaiations to Fend reinforcements to that island . Some demonstrations were apprehended in Calabria and the Abrczzi , where the events of Bologna had produced a deep impression . The accounts from the Roman Slates , " observes the same journal , ** are of a painful nature . A moEg the persons lately arrested at Bologna is M . Barbetti , ef the Legation of Ravenna , for some years a resident at Bol ( -gna . Arms , ammunition , and papers paid to be of importance , were discovered in his possession . Also a fireman , who was the bearer cf . a number of revolutionary proclamations . We are assured that the Military Commit-Bion will shortly sit on the trial of the political prisoners . "
GREECE . —The Greek Observer of tbe SOth ult . publishes an address of ibe Mini .-terd of King Otho to the Greeks , in which they inform them of the measures they had adopted for insuring public order in tbe capital , where the deputies wtre about to meet and to deliberate on the constitution -which was intended to guarantee the TightB of the nation and of the throne . 'Ihe deputies are called npon to set the example of respect for the law , and not to bring with them armtd servants , according to an old practice , little in accord with the liberty and dignity of their deliberations .
The G-ermAn Universal Gazette gives a letter from the banks ot the Spree , ol tbe £ kh NoTomoc-r , n-hich scates that the Emperor of Russia was not content with refusing his sanction to the new fctate of affairs in Greece , but that he proposed to address an energetic protest against the revolution of September , to all the European powers . The letter adds that it is not supposed that this protest will lead to a war in Europe . The Augsburg Gasctte says that the Bavarians still in Greece are dying of hunger , and thai money ia to be sent to their relief .

TrJBSEY .-Co 5 STjtNTi . Now . K , Oct . 28 th . —M . de Bourqueney has dehv . red a note to the Pone , conveying in the strongest terms the sentiments of his government upon the execution of the Anneiiian . Why did not M . deBourquency presently " note " or u ?« his diplomatic influence in conjunction -with Sir S . Canning , before the Armenian ' s execution 1 His *• note" is pure humbug now . The Journal de Chnstemiinople has endeavoured , in a series of articles , to encourage the Turks in their anti-Christian persecutions . Snltan Mahmond had laboured successfully to remove the fanaticism and prejudices which , daring ages , bad drawn an impassabie barrier between the Mahommedan world and Christendom . l ) uring his lonjj reign Christians were no longer persecuted for their religion . By the introduction of judicious reforms , he endeavoured to reconcile his Mohammedan subjects to hia own liberality of sentiment . The best proof of his success
was the interest which the state of Turkey suddenly created in the public mind in Europe , and ! the earnest desire which was displayed by the most enlightened governments to afford her proper protection and support . In a few years public opinion , with regard to this country , was completely changed . By a rash and imprudent act—an a « both uncalled for and unnecssary—the present government has endangered ihe position Sultan MahmoEd had so earnestly endeavoured to assume . And this act is accompanied by other instances of persecution and fanaticism , and has served to awaken a spirit of intolerance vrhich -will lead , nnles 3 speedily repressed , to even more « erioas results . Those , therefore , who would encourage the Turkish Government , by their ap-j proral , to persist in a course which must end in j the destruction of this empire , are no true friends I of Turkey , but are serving ihe caase of her most ' dangerous enemy . ;

peninsula , bat because that the ultra or real Democratic party refused to concur in it . The reason giTen for this holding back is , that the Republicans would not aid in a , movement EBg ^ ested by Russia . Everything was , it seems , prepared for a general Italian insurrection . The movement was to commence in Naples , where it was expected a portion of the army would lead or immediately enter into it . Upon the knowledge of that revolt , Lombardy , Piedmont , and the Romagna would rise ; and au Italian empire , the ruler over which would be the Duke de Leuohtenber « , son of \ he Viceroy of Italy , Eugene Beauharnais—and , bear this in mind , sonin-law of the Emperor Nicholas , Li Jeune Icalie , like la Jcunc France , wonld not promote the mou ' archial views of ' any man ; and consequently the revolt in Italy miscarried .
POLAND . —More Russian Tyranny . —Letters from the frontiers of Poland announce that the Emperor of Russia intended shortly to publish an ukase commanding the Catholic inhabitants of Podolia , Yolhinia . tnid the Ukraine , either to embrace the Greek religion or quit the country , and allowing [ them only two years io comply with that Order . At the expiration of that delay , the property of the refractory Catholics is to be confiscated . This measure will afterwardB be applied to the kingdom ef Poland . The Emperor Nicholas wishes to Muscoviza ths Polish nationality . The idea is characteristic of a barbarous ago , and of an antiquated despotism , but it is not unworthy of the Emperor Nicholas .
RUSSIA—A Company has been formed in St . Peterabujjh for constructing a railroad which wiil unite tbe l ) on with the Vol ^ o . This undertaking will be of immense benefit to tbe countries through which the road will run , for they are very fertile ; but agriculture languishes in them from tha excessive cost and delay in transporting its produce .

llF ? . in Ciusa —Extract of a . letter , dated April 17 , 18 l 3 :- "Tnings are going on very wejl iu China at present . The new settlement at Hong Kong is ? pring ? ng cp as if by magic , and tho place ( where two y * ars ago i was on shore with many others of her Majesty ' s loy&l subjects to hoist the union jack , and which was the stony side of a hill ) is now tall of fine stone buildings of the handsome at style . We have been cruising up and down the Chinese coast for the last three months—that is to say , we had a spell at Hong Kong , Amcy , and Chusan , at which latter place r ? e are now , but how long to remain is uncertain—1 hope not through the summer , for having had the experience of two summers here before , it is one of the last places I wish to remain at ; it is
intensely hot , but tho worst of it is to think what a burial-place it has been to so many hundreds of our poor fellows employed in this Chinese warfare . Wo are about to make up a party for a trip to Nin « - Po , which is only thirty miles from Chusan , and the mandarins are very civil and attentive to all visiters now , and give a 'turn-out' to all parties . No end to shark-fin soup , seaweed stows , baked puppies , Sl 6 . I dined with a rich old merchant at Amoy last January ( it being their ISew Y ^ ar's-day on the 8 ihof that month ) , when we had all 6 orts of playacting , called by them ( and not a bad name other ) sing-song , performed entirely by boys , and some of them madoTery pretty Rirls , much better than any

At dinner I expected as usual to have thirty or forty dishes laid out , and had been practis'tiff myself at chop-stick for a few hours to get my hand in , when , to my surprise , I found the old fellow ( who was togged out very gay with a tail five feet long ) had everything in our lashicu , and ihero wasno end of beer and port wine , roast pigs , and capons , and English potatots , to say nothing of knives and forks . We drank thfi Queen , and then the old gentleman proposed tho Emperor of China , and hoped al the 'fighting pigeon ' Would be over , as he thought we knew a great deal more about it than his countrymen did , at least at present .

Capture of a Slaver . —Extract of a letter dated H . M . S . Fifguard , Rio , September lhh : — "The Frolic arrived here list night , with a slaver she had captured off Cape Foi ;> , havin * on board three hundred slaves , men , women , and children . This slaver was only about double the eiza of one of our launches , and the poor unfortunate beings were packed in ber Iik 6 as many herrings would be in a cask . It appears that they had been stowed in like this for the space of forty-five days . Death had happily released a greav many of them from their torture . But oh , the Bight of the living masses of corruption was enough to strike terror into the most flinty heart as they were oovered with sores from head to
foo ' . They were as soon as possible relieved from their forty-five day region , being taken out , and nlaccd on board the receiving ship for tba . purpose . You can more easily imagine than I can describe the skeleton frames of theso poor wretches , when I tell yon that two hundred and twenty of them were taken at once into our launch , and conveyed to the receiving ship ; Our men really sickened at the ppectaclea they had to behold in the shape of humanity ; and I was glad when the last had been taken out , for I never beheld such a sight before . There were among them forty female children , supposed to be under seven years of age , and fortyfive males under ten . "—Hants Independent .
UNITED STATES . —The efforts in favour of the Irish Repeal movement in the United States , says a New York paper , appear to have slackeud very much of late . Just before the elections , by way of conciliating the Irish voters , " we bad expected a very general demonstration , but with the exception of an isolated tffort in Albany , we have seen nothing worthy of no'ice . The New Tork Herald of the 1 st insk . concludes a Dnef argument on the subject of repeal of the Irish Union , in which the warning interest in tha -
subject ia accounted for by reference to tho alleged injustice of O'Counell towards the states , with the following vague statement : —* ' We have every reason to believe , therefore , that some general organ z uion or association wiil soon be produced in this metropolis , having for its object the legal and constitutional reform of all the Governments of Western Europe . Here wiil probably be the grand centre of a great revolutionary movement , equally embracing England , France , Italy , and Spain . Such , at least , is our recent information . "
Ths Elections . —The papers contain much of the speculation on the coming elections . Tne friends of Mr . Clay had had a meeting in New York , and each party were loud in the praises of their respective candidates . A " Gentleman" (?)—A Mr . Henry S . Ballard , a merchant of New York , was slabbed in the public street , and his life endangered , by a female with whom he was in conversation , and whom , it is said , he had seduced oa the night of the 1 st of November . The wound was inflicted with a dagger , and aimed at his heart , but the point struck against his rib , and probably saved his life . The affair had caused a great sensation in New York . It ia stated that me same female publicly assaulted the same gentlethan a few weeks ago in the street with a horsewhip .
Loss of the Steamer Sarah Babies and Sixteen Lftes . —On the 24 : h ult ., at noon , Bhe crossed the < jralveaton bar for this port . On the next morning , the 25 th , a considerable leak was discovered in her hold . All the pumps were set to work ; but they wore able to keep her free for a short time only . At June o ' clock aon ., when about 75 miles from GalveBton , it having been found that the water was gainjsg on -the pumps , and that both wind and . eca were increasing , tbe captain determined to rUQ her into the Sabine river . But believing theueeotaplishment -of even this doubtful , from the rapid manner in whwi the leak-increased , he concluded ia run her on the nearest s&ore . He directed her course accordingly , the whole of the crew aad passengers
being io the meantime engaged in baling her out . At balf-past two o ' clock p . m ., the water , notwithstanding their exertwes , cad ascended to the fires and tho eagirie . Further efforts to counteract the leak were . therefore Hnayattipg , and to save their lives beeame the concern of all on board . Tney then set about making rafts of the cotton bales—four bales to a raft—and lashed together nome spars for other rafts . She was now sinking rapidly ; the lead was heaved , and there were found six fathoms of water . There was no confusion or complaining ; all seemed to be impressed with their perilous position , and to Bave their lives was the object which
ngrossed tbeir attention . Ordera were given to &Si off the boat ' s painter , and while doing this She uik , it being then forty-fire minutes past four ' clock in the afternoon .

George Salmon , Umber merchant and Veneer dealer , carrying on business at N 03 . 16 and 17 , City-basin , MaccIeaSeldstreet , City-rsad . Tbe premises were of great extent , and comprised sundry departments . The fire occurred in what is termed the veneer-house , situate on the western aide of the yard , an 1 which communicated with several other buildings ; the whole having a frontage of nearly 100 feet , and a depth of some bO or 60 feet . The , fl lines from tbe building , though lew , being almost Wholly of Wood , gained a rapid head , abd in less than ten minutes after the discovery of the ore it had penetrated three other buildings used as chaise-houses , as well as several more departments . The two parish

The Liscars lived on fish , rice , and split peas , bat had no meat . The deceased had been ill about four days , and on Friday was found dead in bed . Several of the Jury severely animadverted on the treatment the Lascar seamen received , and tha Coroner aaid it was the duty of the owners to provide medical assistance , and should death ensue in consequence of not having it , they were guilty of manslaughter . The chief mate , in reply to the question , said there were twenty Lascars now ill oa board without medical attendance , and it was not unusual for a great many Liscars to die during the voyage . They nave no hammocks to He upon , bat only rugs , which they rind themselves . Mr . H . Bloomueld , surgeon , said he had been on board the vessel , and had seen the body . He was of opinion that consumption was the cause of death .
He had examined all the crew , but there was no evidence of dysentery being prevalent ofl board .

The number of samples of home-grown Wheat fresh up from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of both London and country millers good ; the demand for that article , particularly far selected qualities of both red and white ( which formed but a small portion of the supply ) was steady , at prices folly equal to , bnt at nothing beyond those obtained oa this day se ' nnight , and afc which nearly the whole was disposed
of . The . few transactions in fine foreign Wheat Were concluded at late rates ; but that in bond was a mere drag , though not cheaper . Ths supply of Barley being * more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers , the sale for all kinds was heavy , aud prices had a downward tendency . The Malt trade was again inactive , yet we can notice no alteration in the quotation . From all qu&rtCTB , especially from Ire \ and , tbe arrivals ot Oats have been scanty . Good Corn was in demand at full prices , but other qualities commanded very little attention . New Beans moved off freely ; old qualities slowly , at late rates . Peas and Flour were dull , at last week ' s figures .
London Smithfield Mabket , Monday 20 . Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was , on tbe whoZe , numerous , the beef trade was in a very sluggish 6 tate , and the prices declined quite 2 d per Sib $ ; tbe highest figure obtained for the best Scots not exceeding Si lOd per 81 ba , and much difficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance . The number of Sheep amounted to a full average , but there was a scarcity of really prime old Downs amongst them . That description Bold , though slowly , at last Monday ' s quotations , of from ia to 43 4 1 per 81 fca ; but all other breeds were 2 d per 81 bs lower . Calves came rather firmly to handwhile tbe
, V « al trade ruled dull at a depression of 2 d per 8 fbs . Prime small Porkera were in demand ; but all other kinds of Pigs were amending . Nearly 180 large flogs were received from Ireland via Bristol . £ t being now proved , beyond a doubt , that foreign stock cannot be profitably imported , the attention of those entrusted in tbe market is now scarcely ever directed to such imports . We may remark , however , that a few sheep aud beasts have arrived since our last , from Spain and Garmany , but they have been mostly disposed of in some of tbe country fairs . We have not seen a single head here for some weeks .
Bonou&tt Hop Market . —The supplies ol yearling Hops ave afcill tolerably extensive , yet the demand , owing to the low duty officially declared , is active , and , in some instances , further advanced rates have been obtained for fine coloury samples .

The stock is he » vy , bnt this arises from the circumstance of the vessels , generality , having made a quick passage . Tbe shipping season was nearly closed at St . Peterafeurgn on tbe 7 tn instant . The quantity of Tallow actually on board vessels to tuis date was 12 a 191 casks , against 102 , 847 last year , and 128 661 in 1841 . Town fallow is plentiful , and tbe net price for cash is 43 a . Wool Markets . —Very limited import a of either foreign or colonial Wools have taken puce in the past week .

Manchester Corn Market— Saturday , Nov . 18—A firmer feeling was apparent in the trade durinf the week , and rather a batter demand for Flour in const quence , at about the previous currency . There was also an improved inquiry for Oatmeal without change in value . At onr market thia morning , holders of Irish W ^ eat demanded nn advance of Id to 2 d per 70 lbs ., which was generally complied with . There waa a fair demand for Ffour ( at former prices , which could not , however , be exceeded . In Oats and O itmeal a moderate amount of business was done , but the extreixa rates previously quoted were not obtainable . Beans may be noted 1 » par quarter dearer .
