The Chancellor of the Exchequer in a circular, threatens the country bankers, that if they do not discontinue the issue of bills at short dates, which it is their custom to put into circulation as bank-notes, he will apply to Parliament for power to put an end to the abuse. This intimation has, by its suddenness, caused much astonishment among mercantile men.

The negotiation for an intermediate steamer to Boston and Halifax, be- tween this date and the 4th of next month, has not proved successful; the terms demanded by the company (and which were high on account of the season of the year and the scarcity of passengers) having been considered by the Government to be beyond the outlay that would be warranted.— Times, Feb. 4.

Mr. Jacob Harvey, of New York, in a letter to Mr. Jonathan Pim, one of the Secretaries of the Central Relief Association of the Society of Friends, eulogizes the efforts made by the Irish labourers in America to contribute towards the relief of the distress of their fellow-country- men in Ireland. He mentions, that during the year 1846, 130,0001. Isis been remitted to Ireland in small sums, ranging from 11. to 5/.7 through five mercantile houses of New York. Of this amount 30,0001. was re- mitted between the 1st of November and the end of the year.

The amount paid Out of the Consolidated Fund for the Greek loan gua- ranteed by this country, for the year 1846, amounted to 46,4791. 48.

The diplomatic correspondence relating to the Spanish marriages is now before the public in a complete shape. The presentation to Parliament, on the 22d January, of the selection put forward by the British Government, and the appearance of the French Minister's closing despatch of the 25th January, will enable the curious to weigh the value of the English as op- posed to the French version of the affair. • Lord Palmerston's "few last words" are contained in a despatch to the Marquis of Normanby, dated the 8th January, which would occupy three or four columns of our journal. Lord Palmerston adheres to the position that the stipulations and renunciations of the treaty of Utrecht are stronger and more powerful than any personal claims. He defends the direct allu-

sion in his despatch of the 31st October to King Louis Philippe, of which M. Guizot complained, by recalling the fact that in a previous despatch he had introduced the King's name not only without objection on the part of M. Guizot, but with his acquiescence; his accuser also himself freely intro- duced the King's name into the discussion. And in support of this he pro-

ceeds to quote passages from M. Guizot's despatch of the 5th October, wherein be tells how "the King himself" counselled Don Enrique as to his "proper place, his duty, and his chances of success "; and how " he" [the King] "did not pretend to the hand of the Queen of Spain for any of his sons."

Lord Palmerston takes the opportunity to explain the mistake which had led to the accusation of garbling a quotation from M. Guizot's despatch- " The passage in question, in my despatch of the 31st of October; begins with a verbal quotation, and ends with a verbal quotation; but contains in the middle a

sentence which is not, a verbal quotation, but is the substance of a preceding passage in M. Guizot's despatch from which I was quoting; and the inverted com- mas were inadvertently carried on, so as to include that middle sentence. The in- verted commas ought to stop at the words' state of things,' and should not begin again till the words consequently the French Government resorted at Madrid." He requests Lord Normanby to correct this error of punctuation "in the original despatch, and to procure its correction in M. Guizot's copy." He still, however, holds to the same argument; which he maintains to be un- affected by the mistake.

In a despatch to Lord Palmerston, dated the 22d August, Mr. Bulwer describes the use which had been made of his Lordship's despatch of the 19th July, [accusing the Spanish Ministry of trampling on the laws]. Mr. Bulwer says that the French Government has not failed to turn it to account, "by representing it as a declaration of hostility against the pre- sent [Spanish] Ministry and established influences in Spain." A charge of disingenuous conduct on the part of the Spanish Govern- ment comes out ith great force. Mr. Bulwer relates an interview with Isturitz and the Duke de Rianzares, in which he observed that both of them had particularly urged him to recommend the marriage with Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg to the British Government, and pointed out the Propriety of waiting for an answer. The Duke de Rianzares admitted that the connexion had been much desired, but said that the dislike of this alliance exhibited by the Queen's Govermment, and "the positive assurance he had lately received on good authority that the family of Prince Leo- Vold would never consent to this marriage" except with the consent of the King of the French, had destroyed his hopes- " M. Isturitz said, for his own part, he could wait for months, if it depended upon him, and if he had any hopes of a favourable reply; but he confessed ha had now no such hopes, and that he was much hurt by your Lonis144 ' despatch of it teen used the 19th of July, and more especially by the manner in which 4

by the French Government, who had seat it to Count Brewton."' j. a The position of the British Government at different periods-, ha- tI _ ,te-.•=---•N1/4-! ject of a candidate for the Queen's band will appear from tills4e0stOtsic vor s extracts. A despatch addressed by Lord Aberdeen, on the 16th Mara"- a 1842, to Sir Robert Gordon, contains an account of an interview with M. Pageot, who had been sent over by the King of the French to explain to the British Government his views respecting Spain. It then proceeds-

" To all t and a great deal more urged by M..Pageot, in the same sense I

replied that I did not recognize in France, or in all Europe, any right whatever 'to

dispose of the band of the Queen of Spain. That when the Ku:1g of the French acknowledged the succession of the Qaeen, he did so without any stipulation that she should marry a Bourbon prince, and that he must have known such an event was necessarily uncertain - that although, for political reasons connected with

the preservation of the balance of Europe, England would not look with in- difference on the choice of a French prince, we by no means pretended to place a

veto upon the family of Bourbon; and that if the Queen of Spain and her Govern- ment thought fit to make such a selection, we should readily accept the prince as her husband.

" In truth, we regard this question as entirely and exclusively Spanish ; and that it ought to be regulated by considerations affecting the happiness of the Queen and the welfare of her people. It is for the Spanish nation and govern- ment to advise in a matter so important to the interests of Spain."

On the 26th of April 1842, Lord Aberdeen writes to Sir Robert Gordon- " This sacrifice of a prince of his own family by the King of the French has led to the unreasonable attempt to force upon the choice of the Qneen some other member of the house of Bourbon, to the absolute and peremptory exclusion of all competition. M. Pageot has even ventured to insinuate that the peace of Europe may depend upon such a settlement. Now, it is possible that the family of Bour- bon may offer to the Spanish nation the most eligible stock from which to select the husband of their Queen. Upon this subject we desire to express no opinion, but to leave it to the unfettered judgment of the government and people of Spain. One thing is certain: whether such a marriage be desirable or not, the manner in which it is propounded is calculated to excite feelings of indignation and re- sistance in the breast of every Spaniard who values the dignity and independence of his country."

Addressing Lord Cowley, on the 15th December 1843, Lord Aberdeen observes-

" Although her Majesty's Government cannot admit that the preferable claims of any prince or family are such as to control the free choice of the Spanish Go- vernment, they would be fully disposed to concur in the proposition of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, and to recommend that the selection of the Queen's consort should be made from the descendants of Philip the Fifth." On the 30th October 1845, Mr. Bulwer forwarded to Lord Aberdeen an article of the Spanish constitution relating to royal marriages; which de- clares, that "neither the King nor the immediate successor can contriect marriage with any person excluded by the law from the succession to the Crown."

In addressing Mr. Bulwer, on the 24th July, Lord Palmerston writes- " My own opinion coincides with that which was entertained by Lord Aberdeen, that Don Enrique would be the best choice for the Queen." Subsequently, on the 16th of August, he says—" I tell Count Jarnac, that we do not adopt the French category of Bourbon descendants of Philip the Fifth, and we do not admit that the French Government are entitled to' object to the Prince of Coburg as the representative of English influence."

• He again gives "his own opinion," that "a Spanish prince would on the whole be the best husband for Queen Isabella; and that the only Spanish prince who could properly be chosen would be Don Enrique."

Mr. Bulwer' however, on the 14th August, reports to Lord Palmerston the failure of his attempts to dispose the Court and President of the Coun- cil in favour of an alliance with Don Enrique.

M. Guizot admits that the choice of Queen Isabella or the Spanish people could not be compelled; but he denies that the policy of Lord Aber- deen and Lord Palmerston were identical: on the 28th May, Lord Aber- deen rebuked Mr. Bulwer for having approved of the step taken by the Spanish Government with regard to advancing the claims of Prince Leo- pold; whereas Lord Palmerston put him first in the list of three candi- dates, the sons of Don Francisco de Paula being the other two; and not only put him first, but spoke of him as still having a chance. Returning to Lord Aberdeen's despatch to Sir Robert Gordon in 1842, already quoted, we find M. Pageot's statement of the French position- " The great remedy which the King of the French proposes for all the Mils of Spain, both present and future, is an agreement respecting the marriage of the Queen. He declares that he entirely renounces all pretensions for any son of his own; but that France will never submit to see the Queen married to any Prince but a member of the family of Bourbon. He is indifferent respecting what indi- vidual may be selected, or from what branch of the family; but according to the expression of II Pageot, he would place his veto upon the choice of a prince of any other house. Should such a marriage as that which he contemplates be effected, he presumes that the Northern Powers would at once renew their friendly relations with Spain; and that by the cordial assistance and support of France the tranquillity and happiness of the country would be secured." The understanding at Eu, excluding the Coburg Prince, has repeatedly been mentioned. The French Government itself was accused of preparing

for a departure from that understanding, by secretly receiving a proposition inconsistent with it, from the Marquis de Mirafiores. M. Guizot denied it; but Lord Palmerston repeats the charge more distinctly-

" Her Majesty's Government consider themselves to have good grounds for as- serting, that the Marquis of Mirallores was sent to Paris in July for the above- - mentioned purpose; and though her BLijesty's Government do not pretend to have ' a knowledge of all the communications which, during the two months which he spent in Paris, may have passed between him and those to whom he was sent, yet her Majesty's Government do happen to know, that on the evening of the 19th of July, a day or two after his arrival at Paris, he had an audience at Neuilly, and that at that audience, he did, though ineffectually, endeavour to accomplish the purpose of his mission. If the Marquis had succeeded in overcoming at Paris the objections there felt to the selection of the Prince of Coburg, he was to have gone on to London to solicit the cooperation of her Majesty's Government."

The "good grounds" appear to be a statement made by the Marquis de Mirallores to Lord Cowley, on the 20th July, communicated to Lord Pal- merston the same day.

On the 1st September, M. Guizot had an interview with Lord Normanby; to whom he communicated information received by the telegraph, that the marriage of the Queen and the Duke of Cadiz was settled. Lord Nor- manby's record of the subsequent conversation at this interview is very

curious- " Upon my keeping the appointment, he began by telling me that lie had news from Spain that the marriage of the Queen with the Duke of Cadiz was settled. 1 said that the last intelligence we had received from thence had induced U6 to think such a result not unlikely. He said be had no details, as he had received it by telegraph. He then added, that the Queen was at the same time to give her sanction tor her sister's marriage with the Duke de Montpensier. 'At the same time?' I inquired. Not at the same time,' be answered; not to take place at the same time.' I said I laid no stress upon that: that, of course, I was entirely without instructions from my Government, to give their opinion upon a communi- cation so entirely unexpected; but that I could not avoid, at the very first mo- ment, expressing strongly my great regret at what he had just communicated to me, and my conviction that it would excite very unpleasant feelings both in the British Government and in the country. He said, he trusted nothing that would last.' I replied, that, on the contrary, I thought it was the step the most likely to continue irritation. 'But,' he interposed, if the Queen has children I' ($ elle a des enfans, now verrons.) I asked whether that meant that the union should not take place unless she had children? 'No, not' he exclaimed, I can make no such promise.' I asked whether, in point of fact, when the matter had been mentioned before, between him and Lord Aberdeen, he had not come to such an understanding? He replied, 'that he had; but that he had told Lord Aberdeen, in February last, that if he saw any danger of a Co- burg, marriage, he should consider himself absolved from that engagement' . . He then pressed me to read a letter from Count Jarnac, detailing what bad passed with Lord Aberdeen at Windsor, as a proof that your Lordship, to whom the letter had been read, was aware of this a month ago. I said that what was known to us officially was, that the Prince of Coburg was not an Eng- lish candidate; that, having been otherwise mentioned as a candidate for the hand of the Queen of Spain, we of course considered the choice of him as open to her Majesty; but that the last despatch I had read to him showed that he was not the person recommended by the British Government. Yes,' he said, but that was on the 28th of August, the other on the 19th July. I then made a proposal of joint action with reference to the two princes. I was left all that time without an answer. I could not wait; in the interim J'ai agi.' I said that, at any rate, the result has proved this delay on our part to have had no concealed motive; that see should have the consolation of knowing that, throughout, our conduct had been ierlhctly straightforward and open, and that we only desired the independence and ppiness of Spain. He replied, And what should interfere with that? When the Duke de Montpensier marries the Infanta, they will reside in Paris. France will gain another princess; Spain will not have an additional prince. Our line has always been the same,' he added: 'I announced it fouryears ago—a prince of the house of Bourbon for the Queen, not a prince of the house of Orleans?. I said in reply, that these were limits and distinctions of which we knew nothing; that he could not expect that others should view in the same light anything that tended towards a union with the two crowns. That, he said, need not be feared; it is guarded against by the treaty of Utrecht: our line is always the same—a Bourbon on both thrones, but not the same.' I said, 'Of course, the danger to which I alluded was not an actual union between the two kingdoms, but a rapprochement towards such a result,' and that we could not PCWO17.13 the validity of the policy to which he had alluded as established: that I math regretted what had occurred: there were few subjects which could excite sarAnti-French feeling in England, where there was such a friendly disposition; that I feared, however, this was one; that it would certainly completely destroy any credit for the supposed sacrifice the King had made in declining the Queen's hand for his son: that he must not suppose that it was only in England that such a feeling would be excited; and that, valuing as I did the French alliance, tcould not but forme that a feeling"of general uneasiness might produce a dif- ferent state of thing from that which had hitherto existed. He interrupted me by• saying that he did not think it would produce the effect I expected m other qtartere." Goizot adheres, in his last communication, to his assertion that the two marriages were necessarily simultaneous. It is notorious, he says, that bOth the marriages were settled at the same time, and that the fulfilment of the one depended on the completion of the other. The French Govern- ment had no more "the pretension to compel" the Queen of Spain to marry only a descendant of Philip the Fifth than the British Government, had "'thee pretension to compel" the Queen not to marry a French prince.

On the Miraflores point M. Gaizot still tries-to hold his.ground; but it must be confessed, with some effort- " I persist in thinking that Lord Palmerston has been misinformed as to the 11111131011 with which the Marquis of hfirailores was, he says, intrusted in the month of July last, and as to what passed or was.said on that occasion either at Paris or even at Neuilly."

The celebrated French novelist M. Alexandre Dumas has just now his hands fdll of law. The Marquis D'Espinay St Luc has proceeded against M. Dumas to recover 50,000 francs damages for having injured the reputation of one of the Marquis's ancestors, by representing him, in a novel called La Dome de Mont- soreatt, "in an ignoble position." The ease was adjourned, in order that the Court might read the novel. At the Tribunal de la Seine, on Friday last week, the proprietors of the Coned- tationnel and the Freese pursued an action against M. Dumas for a breach of con- tract, in that he had neglected to write for them during 1845 and 1846; damages laid at 50,000 francs. M. Dumas, who is represented as having first kept the Court waiting, and then appearing extremely over-dressed, pleaded his own cause, in an extraordinary style. "Gentlemen," he said, "I desired to plead my cause in person, because the circumstance which brings me before you is not an affair of man to man, or interest against interest, but rather a sort of duel between honour and honour. I regret not seeing here M. Venn (of the Constitutionnel) and ht. Girardin (of the Presse); for I shall be obliged to fire in the air, and the ball, instead of striking them, will fall at their feet." M. Dumas read the doable agreement entered into between MM. Vexon, Girardin, and himself; and remarked, though that agreement was a conditional one, the Constitutionnel and La 1?resse announced on the following day, that "M. Dumas, being free from his engagements on the death of M. Dnjarrier, had enterred into an agree- ment with them to write exclusively for them for the team of five years." "That was not true," said M. Dumas; "as I still had to publish about eighty volumes on previous agreements, making altogether 226,000 lines; a num- ber which the Academy, if they were called upon to produce an equal num- ber in two years, (and they are forth) would find no easy task to accomplish.' "I had therefore to fulfil my previous engagements; and I did what I may say no man ever did before me, or will do hereafter—I began the publica- tion of five different novels in five different papers at the same time, and completed them: my adversaries are there to say if it was not all in my own handwriting. On the 15th August, M. Vit-on called upon me, and said, My dear Dumas, we have been unlucky enough to publish a feuilleton likely to renew the glorious days of dIsabonnement to the Constitutionnel: we have still eight days of it left; but if we do not then give the public an interesting amusing novel such as you write, (these are his own-words,) it is all up with us. We must have it this day week." Eight days is quite sufficient; I replied, when a man is idle, but not so when a man has five feuilletons in hand.' And I was at that-moment publishing five feuilletons in five different journals. Three horses, three servants, and the railway, scarcely sufficed to bring me the proof-sheets. At two a. nt. my servants were on the route to St. German. I nevertheless agreed to do it; and on the day appointed, August the 27th, he received the first volume." M. Dumas then, explained, that while the Constinitheanel and the Praise announced that he worked exclusively for them, the Shia; the Dacia, the Bairie, and the Commerce, announced the publication offenilletons from him, to which they were duly entitled. He stated that all the advance he had received' from M. Girardin was 454 francs, and that M. Girardin had to pay him 167,000 francs within three years. M. Dumas remarked that at the time of his departure for Spain he had published forty-eight volumes in eighteen months. He was tired, he said—many would have been tired much sooner—and was obliged to procure a certificate from his medical adviser to pacify ht. Girardin. "14M. Vim and Girardin pretend that at my villa at St Germain I remained idle. I wrote there eight volumes of Balsamo.' At the same time, I was occupied with representa- tions of Shakspere and Dumas in the Theatre of St. Germain: but I do not think I can be reproached for that, especially as I gave them 27,000 lines in two months.

"As regards my journey to Spain, I never solicited a mission: the Duke of Montpensier, qui a quelques bontes pour moi, said to me, as his brother had said formerly, Come to my marriage: I wish you to be present at a national ftte.' M. de &Ivandy then asked me if I could leave for Spain and Algeria; and I re- plied, that it was the very thing for me, as I requir repose. 'You will then go to Spain,' said the Minister, and to Algeria, a country not much known, espe- cially to our Deputies, who speak about it every day without knowing anything at, all about it.' (Laughter.) I left for Spain as a guest, and was the only French- man present at the private marriage. It was then I received the grand cordon of Charles the Third: which was given not to the literary man, but to the mars—to me, Alexandra Dumas, Marquis Daoy de la Pailleterie, and friend of the Duke of Montpensier.' (Sensation in -wart) "I thence went to Tunis, where the Bey was absent; but I was honourably re- ceived by his brother, who received mess a French envoy, and conferred upon me the order of Nichan. I did not lose my time, but collected during my stay such valuable documents, that in four days, if I liked, I could publish an entire work. In order to reach Tunis, the French Government bad placed at my disposal the steamer Veloce, of 220-horse power; it was for the use of myself and the Bey of Tunis alone. Such favours are only granted to princes and friends. We were close to the African coast when I learned (speaking with a sort of inspiration). that our prisoners might be liberated by a prompt intervention on my part. Twelve lives were to be saved—twelve lives which were every moment in danger of falling by the knife: among these were brave officers, and a woman, the sole remnant of the unfortunate captives who escaped the massacre of Sidi Brahim. It mai who, with the Veloce under my orders, saved Captain Cognard and his braves comrades, and brought them to Mellina; where 3,000 persons offered me a halt:. quet ; the reminiscence of which is sufficient to repay me for any injuries I may have received here.

"I am now, forsooth, asked for 50,000 francs damages for having been idle; whilst I—yes, I—saved from the sword of the enemy the lives of twelve of my countrymen! I took six persons in my suite, who represented the art of painting, as I myself represented the art of literature. To defray my expenses, I wars obliged to sell railway shares to the amount of 60,000 francs; on which Fleet 7,000 francs, and I spent 21,000 francs of my own money. The 10,000 francte credit were only to be touched on my arrival at Algiers. I spent 11,000 franca;, but the day after my return, I returned 1,000 francs to the Minister. Such„gen, tlemen, is the true statement of facts."

The case was adjourned. M. Dumas, on leaving the court, mounted. a, mag- nificent Arabian charger with gold trappings, and so rode home.

An unsuccessful effort was made on Tuesday to get the Sphynx steamer off the rocks. The tide did not rise so high as was expected, and one of the" camels employed got adrift and was stove in. The elnp was moved about a hundred feet seaward, but was placed in no better position, .for she lies quite as much aground and exposed to the waves as before. Another attempt to move her cannot be made till the next spring tide, a fortnight hence. It it is proposed to lighten the vessel by getting out the engines and machinery piecemeal, as the ship can be reached from the shore at low-water. The expenses incurred in the operations up to the present time are described as "enormous."

In constructing the Shipley and Keighley Railway, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, an insatiable bog has been encountered near Bingley. Sixty ems of earth and stones are cast into this bog every hour of the day. Notwithstanding this immense quantity dropped into the gulf at both ends, by three lines of rejig, all is swallowed up every morning; the heavy matter sinking, forces the lighter up, and makes a black spongy embankment on both sides.

The Swiss National Gazette of the 27th December relates a murder committed in a railroad caniage. "A person whose name is unknown took his seat at Man- helm in a railroad carriage with a ticket for Carlsrhue. Three other individuals, of respectable appearance, shortly, afterwards placed themselves in the same car- riage, strangled the first, rifled his pockets, and quitted the carriage at Heidel- berg. The murder was not discovered until the train arrived at Carlsrhue; when the man was found in the corner of the carriage dead and already cold. This crime appears tube unique in the annals of railroads."

A large granary, six stories in height at Port Dundee, Glasgow, fell down last week. One wall gave way, and the various floors, all loaded with grain, followed. Two men were in the top story, but happened to be at the head of a staircase which was attached to a wall and remained firm, and thus they were save& It is wonderful that no one was hurt, as the brick-work, floors, and grain, fell into a narrow street, in which there is generally much traffic; but no one was passing at the moment.
