FBARCE . —The London Times of S&turday says , "An exoeedinglj-tfeil-TmtteDj though of course ultra-Republican , article on ihe state und prospects -of Span , appeare in the National of Wednesday .

Italy . —It was reported on the Paris Bourse , on Friday and Sattirdaj , that the French Government had received acconnts from Naples of a serious nature . Disturbances were said to have broken out in the neighbourhood of Naples , and in Calabria . A letter from Bologna of the 6 th inst ., states that M . Barret ? e of Ravenna had been arrested for the part he took in the laie disturbances . He was Jor some time settled at Bologna . 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 arrested . The disturbances were still far from being pat down . Several of the insurgents had taken refuse in Malta and Corsica , and it was said that the Italian estates had applied to have them removed .

The navigation of ihe Allier has been intermpted by the -melting of the ^ iow in the mountains of ClennonL About twenty coal-lighters have been ¦ wrecked along its banks . —Galignan ? 3 Messenger . The Imprisoned RtPCBUCASS . —During several days the Republican prints of Paris have been appealing against the sptcles of imprisonment to which ike state prisoners are subjected , and which is described as a return to all the horrors of thB
ieudal tices . The National has the following arride on the ^ polirical prisoners at Mont Saint HieLeli—•* Tbeministers persist in keeping silence en the barbarities ruflicred upon the prisoners , at Jiont St . MieheL As they are obstinate in holding iheir tongues , "we are equally determined to speak on . No one moat be suffered to remain in doubt as * io the illegal and abominable ^ cts of viol ence com- : Edited in ibis frightful abode . Public indignation \ must be called io the relief of violated law and in- \ silted humanity . The Deputies must be enlightened by inconresiible fscis oa lie results of the cellular system , as applied to political prisoners . These facts iave already been stated by us , and repeated by
several journals . We return to them again , and , shall continue to do so until our voice has resounded i throughout the whole world . Scarcely four years j have revolved snee the prison of Mont Saint ' Michel received abont thirty young men , all full of life and health . At the end of this short period , ' -what , we ask , is the result of the treatment they i liave been made to undergo ? Official returnsgtre tis the following answer : Steuble has cut his throa ; with a razar ; Bezsnaut has hung Mmstlf in hk dungeon j Jaba = se has twice attempted to poison Hmself ; Austen , Bastion , CL&rles , and Bondin , have all sines their confinement hero become jnadznen . Tbo others have fallen into a state bordering npon idiotism . Thus the first result I ? , nine of these
prisoners have teen driven to suicide , or lost in mental alienation . There are others who have noi yet fallen , bnir who are sQicted with diseases that will adhere to them throughout their Eves . . These diseases would have quieklj terminated their existence if they had nc-i b ? en taken from tnis horrible prison . Thus the government has been obliged to trac 5 fef Baibes to Nismes j Petreiann , Tilcog , and Pomberteau , to Doullfcns ; Dnbonrdean . to B ^ r-Qeacs ; Dupour , to Paris ; and Hubert , first to a ho 5 pi : 2 j , and afterwards to St .

Sweden . —Stockholm , Nov . Tth ^ -A dreadful fire at Wexia broke out on this day se ' unighi , n the most densely inhabited part of the town , during a violent storm , till the subsiding of which it could not be chocked . In eighteen hours it destroyed fourfifxhsof the town ; so that of the new houses built Bince the last fire only eight remain standing ; and one thousand four hundred persons are burnt 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 State on the subject , and obtained a remittance of thirty thousand dollars , which bad been immediately sent by the courier to the governor of that province , who bas also been informed that
It is by no ipeans likely that the English Government will accede to this request , but the French Government has already so far complied with it as to remove all Italians from Corsica to ihe interior ol France . Tee two brothers , Maraton , the Counts Beucoli and Righi , the Marquis of Mellara , and several other refugees have been ordtred to Chaxtu Rouge . PiLEHiio , Octobsr 24 . — The troops in the garrison here are kept in constant exercise , particularly at night . At such an exercise and sham-tights several soldiers had loaded their muskets secretly with ball cartridges , and availed themselves of the darkness of the night to yet rid of some of their most unpopular efficers . No leBS than ten « 'fficera are mentioned as having become the victims of tieir men , but the full truth will never come to light .
u The reports , " says the Commerce . " which got into circulation relative to disturbances in Sicily on the arrival of the Neapolitan steamer Neituno at Toulon are likewise mentioned in a letter from Leghorn of the 9 th instant . Tne Government was making preparations to send reinforcements to that island . Some demonstrations were apprehended in Calabria and the Abrozzi , where the events of Bologna had produced a deep impression . The accounts from the Roman States , " observes the same journal , " are of a painful nature . Among the persobs lately arrested at Bologna is M . Barbetti , ef the Legation of . Ravenna , for some years a resident at Bolfgna . Arms , am munition , and papers said to be of importance , were discovered in his possession . Also a fireman , who was the bearer ef a number of revolutionary proclamations . We are assured ths . t the Military Commitfiion will shortly sit on the trial of the political prisoners . "

The German Universal Gazette gives a letter from the banks of the Spree , of the 9 : h November , which Btaws that the Emperor of Ru . ^ sia w as not content with refusing his sanction to the new . state of affairs in Greece , but that he proposed to address an energetic protest against the Tevolntion 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 Gazette says that the Bavarians still in Greece are dying of hunger , and thai money is to be sent to their relief .

TORXEY . —CoksTjIKti . kople , Cci . 28 th . —J 3 . de Buorqueney has delivered a note to the Porte , con-Vcjing in the strongest ierm 3 the sentiments of his government upon the execution of the Armenian . Why did not M . de Bonrqueccy present his " note " or u ^ s his diplomatic influen ce in conjanction with Sir S . Canning , before the Armenian ' s execution 1 His . note" is pure humbug now . The Journal de Constantinople has endeavoured , in a series of arucies , to encourage the Turks in taetraiiU-Christian persecutions . Sultan Mahmoud had laboured sueee- * sfHlly to remove the fanaticism and prejudices which , during ages , had drawn an impassable barrier between the ^ lahommedan world and Christendom . During his long Toign Christiana- were no longer persecuted for their religion . By the introduction of jadicious reforms , he endeavoured to reconcile bis ilohammedau subjects to his own liberality of sentiment . The best proof of his success
was the interest which the sjate of Turkey suddenly created in the public mindin Europe , and the earnest desire which was displayed by ihe most enlightened governments to afford her proper protection and support . In a Few years public opinion , with regard to this conntry , was completely changed . By a rash and imprudent act—an act both uncalled for and nnuecssary—the present government has endangered the position Sultan MahiaoEd had 30 earnestly endeavoored to assume . And this act is accompanied by other instances of persecution and fanaticism , and has served to awaken a spirit of intolerance which will lead , unless speedily repressed , to even more serious results . Those , therefore , who wonld encourage the Turkish Government , by their approval , to persist in a course wbioh must end in the destruction of this empire , are no true friends of Turkey , but are servisg the cause of her most dangerous enemy .

peninsula , but because that the ultra or real Democratic party refused to concur in . it . The reason given for this holding back is , that the Republicans would not aid in ; a movement Bnggeated by Rassia , 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 ths knowledga of that revolt , Lombardy , Piedmont , and the Romagua would rise ; and an Italian empire , 'the ruler over which would be the Duke do Leuchtenber ^ , son of ihe Viceroy of Italy , Eugene Beauharnais—and , bear this in mind , sonin-law of the Emperor Nicholas . Li Jeuue Ilalie , like la Jeunc France , would not promote the monarohial views of any man ; and consequently the revolt in Italy miscarried .

At the expiration of that delay , the property of the refractory Catholics is to bo confiscated . This measure will afterwards be applied to the kingdom of Poland .

Life is Chi ^ a . —Extract of a letter , dated April 17 , 1343 : — " Things are going oa very weli in China at pretent .

Wo have been cruisin g np and down the Chinese coast tor tbe last three months—that , is to Eav , we had a spell at Hong Kong , Amoy , and Chusan , at which latter place we 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 the 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 Ning-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 .

real female I have seen in China , and the whole affair went tff very well indeed . At dinner I expected a « usual to have thirty or forty dishes laid out , and had be . cn practising myself at chop-sliek 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 every ; hing in our fashion , and ifiere was no emi of beer aud pott wine , roast pigs , and capons , and English potatoes , to say nothing of knives and forks .

It appears that they had been stowed in like this for the space of forty-five days . Death , had happily released a great 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 , a 3 they were covered with sores from head to

UNITED STATES—The efforts in favour of the Irish Repeal movement in the United States , says a New York paper , appear to have slackend very much of late . Just before tho elections , by way of conciliating the Irieh voters , we had expected a very general dftaonstration , but with the exception of aa isolated effort in Albany , we have seen nothing worthy oj no ; ioei The New York Herald of the 1 st Inst . concludes a brief argument on the subject of repeal of the Iri .-h Union , in which the warning interest in tha
subject ia accounted for by reference to the alleged injustice of O'Connell towards the Btates , with the following vague statement : — "We have every reason to believe , therefore , that some general orgauiz ition or association will soon be produced in this metropolis , having for its object the legal and constitutional reform of all the Govcrnmtnts of Western Europj . Rcre will probably be the grand centre of a {{ teat revolutionaiy movement , equally embracing England , France , Italy , and Spain . Such , at least , is our recent information . "
The Elections . —The papers contain much of the speculation on the coming elections . The friends of Mr . Clay had had a meeting in New York , and each party were loud in the praises of their respective fiaiiditlaies . A " Gentleman" ( 1)—A Mr . Henry S . Ballard , a merchant oi New York , was stabbed in tho public street , and his life endangered , by a female- with whom he was in conversation , and whom , it is said , he had seduced on 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 is stated that me same female publicly assaulted the same gentlethan a few weeks ago in the street with a horsewhip .
Loss or the Stexmeu Sauah Babneb and Sixteen Lives—On the " 24 : h uifc ., at noon , she crossed the Galveston bar for this port . On the next morning , the 25 th , a considerable leek was discovei ed in her hold . All the pumps were set to work ; but they were able to ket p her free rbr a short time only . At nine o ' clock a . m ., when about 75 miles from Galveston , it caving been found that the water was gaiuing on the pumps , and that both wind and sea were increasing , the captain determined to run her into the Sabine river . But believing the
accomplishment of even this doubtful , from the rapid manner in which the leak increased , he concluded to run her on the nearest shore . Ho directed her course accordingly , the whole « f the crew and passengers being in the meantime engaged in baling her out . At half-past two o ' clock p . m ., the water , notwithstanding their exertions , had ascended to the fires and tho engine . Further efforts to counteract the leak were therefore unavailing , and to' -save their ; lives became the concern of all on board . Tliey ' then set about making rafts of the cotton bales—four ba ^ ea to a raft—and lashed together some spars for
other rafts . She was now swsivg rapiaiy ; me leaa i was heaved , and there were found Bix fathoms of i water . There was no confusion or complaining ;' all seemed to be impressed with their perilous posi- ' tion , and to gave their lives was the object which j engrossed their attention . Orders were given to ' east off the boat ' s painter , and while doing this she 5 Hnt , it being tbon forty-five minutes past four , o ' clock in the afternoon . There were on board alitfgether tbirfy souls—of these eighteen went on ' ths rafts , an < l twelve took the boat . Of the former j about five were saved , after drifting about thre « . ° - J days and three nights . Tvk > of them landed on [ Galveston Island , and the other thrce on Boldvair Point .

Heartless BRUXALirr .- ^ On Saturday an Inquest was held on board the Thames East Indlaraan , now lying in tbe Eiafc India Docks , on the body of & Loscas seaman , named Mamarie , aged thirty-six , alleged to have died from want of medical assistance . The stench emitted from the cabin in which the body lay , and in which the Lascar slept during the voyage , waa so great , that the jury were unable to remain in it more than a few seconds ; The Thames was the property of Mr . Greek , of Bristol . On leaving Calcutta there were ! ninety-five Lascars ou board , but twenty-five had died from scurvy and dissentery on tbe voyage homewards . The surgeon on board left the ship along with tbe cap * tain on her . reaching Margate , without providing medical treatment for any ot the crew who might be aick .
The Lascars lived on fob , nee , and split peas , bat bad no meat . The deceased had been ill about four days , and on Friday was found dead in bed . Several of tbe Jury severely animadverted on the treatment the Lascar seamen received , and the Coroner said it waa the doty 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 on board without medical attendance , and it was not unusual for a great many Lascars to die during the voyage . They have no hammocks to lie upon , but only rugs , which they find themaulves . Mr . H . Bloom field , surgeon , said he had been on board the vessel , and had seen the body . He waa of opinion that consumption was the « anse of death .
He had examined all tbe crew , but there waa no evidence of dysentery being prevalent oa board .

This , he should ajy was caused by diet Tne inquest wa » adjourned . At the adjourned inquest the following verdict was returned—" That tbe deceased had died a natural de ; ttb , by the visitation of God ; but the jurors considered there waa a great degree of inattention on the part of tbe managers of the ship , in not providing medical attendance on the arrival of tbe ship aj ; the East India Docks , and also a place distinct from the part of ihe . ship occupied by the deceased and other Lascars , which was found to be in an unwholesome and filthy state .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Nov . 20 . — The returns of English Wheat in the past week shew very moderate arrivals , while the supplies of all other Grain have been limited . The number of samples ot home-grown Wheat fresh , np from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of both London and country millers good ; the demand for that article , particularly for selected qualities of both red and white ( which formed but a sm&U portion of the supply ) was eteady , at prices folly equal to , but at nothing beyond those obtained on this day se / nnight , aud at which nearly the whole was disposed
of . The few transactions in fiae foreign Wheat were concluded at lute rates ; but that ia bond was Sj meiO drug , though not cheaper . Tae supply of Birley being more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers , the sale for all kinds was heavy , and prices had a downward tendency . The Mais trade was again inactive , yet we can notice no alteration in the quotation . From all quarters , especially from Ireland , the arrivals of Oata have be ^ n soantv . 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 rales . Peas and Flour ware dull , at last week ' s ikures .
