THE IIETRFN;Cll M ENT III NISTRY.-Lord William Russell, who about a month ago was sent to Lisbon as Ambassador has been recalled, by which the said Lord is two thousand a year the richer for life. This is the brother to Lord John Russell of Reform Celebrity. LORD PALMERSTON'S IDEA OF A SPEEDY SETTLE- MENT.—Some two or three years ago the Noble Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs graciously informed us that lie would bring the affairs of Belgium to a speedy settlement." The echoes of the Lake of Killarney are nothing to those which arose from the Treasury pack-i. speedy settlement" was the cry, from Chas. Wood down to the lowest penny-a-liner of the Globe. It is the only thing that can save Belgium and preserve peace." Well, time went on, more speedily than the settlement the smirking Secre- tary gets the Civil (!) Grand Cross of the Bath, and puts the appropriately blushing ribbon on his breast, declaring that the slaughter of thousands before tig Antwerp was but a creation of the exhuberant fancy" of those who deemed it fact; the wily Tal- leyrand departs with his peace (!) the Conference is broken up Brussels seems to be doubting whether to funk or revolt; and the Dutch army is crossing the frontier to Maestrecht? This is a settlement with a vengeance But what say the hacks of the Treasury ?—Where is their speedy settlement ?"— Oh they cry, '• all is for the best—Belgium is much better off as she is." Indeed —Why then, in the name of dullness,whose head seems to preside in Downing-street whilst its spirit animates the pliant scribes, why interfere at all ?-The paper and ink expended on the question, if unprotocolled, would have purchased the fee-simple of Belgium If no settlement at all is best, why endeavour to bring about a sqeedy pne ?—Or, if a speedy one was pro- mised as indispensably necessary, why praise, as preferable, none at all ?—Oh England! into what hands have thy destinies fallen !— Quem Deus volt pcrdere prius dcmcntat." If England and France be unwise enough to embark in a war against Germany and Russia, for the sake of the Spanish succession, the following comparison of the resources of the contending parties will enable the observer to approximate to a pretty unerring conclusion as to the issue of the fray. We put Spain herself out ot the question, because it is a divided house."

Mr. GALT'S OPINION OF FREE TRADE.—My pur- suits, especially with respect to the free trade ques- tion, made ine ready, when the discussion arose, to take a part in it with more maturity than most people, and accordingly in my little circle I was soon known as the opponent of the Husskissonian charlatanry. I use the word beause no other presents itself to me at this moment which so fully expresses my opinion, at the same time I really believe that he possessed some honest glunmerings of truth. It only never appeared to me that he understood what he talked about, and no clearer proof may be adduced than such a total occultation to him of the system of nature, as to imagine any measuresof human legisla- tion could suddenly alter the ordinations of Provi- dence. Why, the Christian religion is in its 19th century, and though there can be no doubt of the ex- cellence of its morality, mankind are not yet arrived at such a state of improvement, as to be practically ruled by it. No doubt trade is in a state of perfecti- bility as well as man, but even the coffin of England will be rotten before the world can be in a condition to abrogate the usages of commercial policy. Hus- kisson's doctrines were supposed by himself to be founded on science, and yet every line of his precepts was regulated by the maxims of expediency. His insufficient information might have been pardoned, for its effects were doomed to resolve themselves into dust in the next age but his unstatesman-like dabbling with all that needed only reform, not revo- lution, is still lamented by thousands, exclaiming, how is it, after eighteen years of peace, that we are thus dragged bv an invisible power into a lower depth" otunsatiable I)overty.-A utobiogi-apliy t!

FRENCH LIBERALITY.—The daughter of Prince Polifjnac is dead; she had frequently implored per- mission for her father to pay her a last, visit, well guarded, and on his parole d'honnenr, but it was re- fused. SHOCKING MURDER AT BOLTON.On Friday morning', a little before eleven o'clock, whilst that portion of the 35ih regiment now stationed in Bolton, were on parade in the barrack-yard, a private named John Wilson was picked out of the ranks and ordered iuto the guard-house for being' drunk but he had no sooner arrived there than he deliberately levelled his piece, which was loaded with ball, and fired amongst the men on parade' and, dreadful to relate, (he bail passed through the intestines of private Edmund Martin, also through the hand of private Thomas Brunston, and lodged in the butt-end of his musket. Martin only survived two hours; and Wilson is now in the dungeon awaiting the coroner's inquest. The deceased hud been in the regiment 20 years, and would have received his discharge in a few days. The distance from the guard-house to where Martin was shot is about 15 yards. It is not known when or where Wilson charged his firelock.

THE LATEST LONDON INTE LLIGENCE. A private letter from Bayonne, the 10th says: —" The insurrection in Spain assumes a formi- dable appearance. About 150 soldiers who had escaped have rejoined at Toloso the remains of Castanon's corps, defeated before Bilboa. This General has not 400 men under his command. "The Government of the whole of Biscay is new modelled, in the name of Charles V. the Marquis of Valdespina has taken the civil govern- ment of the province, and the Brigadier Zavala the command of the troops. n. Gviillevmo Whagon, the elder broftfer of the Deputy of that name, Zand the richest landholder of the country, has been thrown into prison with about I others, accused of being Liberals or Christinos. To enrich their funds by a new species of forced tax, the rebels have fixed prices for the ransom of the prisoners. They demand of M. Whagon 8,000 piastras for the preservation of his life, The Carlists of Biscay are preparing for a vigorous defence if attacked. Twenty thousand armed volunteers are already assembled at Bilboa. The convent of San Francisco is being fortified, and munitions of war, amassed for a long time, are distributed. The new authorities have sent all express to Madrid to inform the Government of the Queen that the Biscayens are resolved to place Don Carlos on the Throne or perish in the attempt. In the town there arc placards posted up, upon which there is in large letters, Long live Charles V Long live the Inquisition!"— "Death to the Slaves!" Every time the clock strikes they compel the passers by to repeat their cries. The diligence from Madrid to Bayonne, has been stopped, between Salerias and Moudragon, I and all the passengers carried into the moun- tains." Don Carlos is said to have arrived at Carceras, in Spain. The following was posted at the North and South American Coffee house, on the subject of Captain Ross:- "Arrived off Peterhcad, tho Clarendon from Davis' Straits reports the safety of Captain Ross, of the Discovery, who, with his crew, was on board of the Isabella, in Davis' Straits, having lost only three of the crew." ==

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. OCTOBER 15.-The arrivals of wheat are con- siderably increased since Tuesday last, exceeding altogether those of any previous week'during the past twelve months. We have also a good supply of oats, barley, malt, and beans, with a moderate quantity of flour and oatmeal, particulars of which are noted below. The large arrivals of wheat to-day have been met by an improved feeling in the trade, and although the demand was not extensive, several purchases were made by speculative buyers and the millers and dealers, some from distant parts of the country, bought rather more freely than of late, at a small amendment, in some instances, upon the reduced rates of Friday last. Irish barley continued in request for distillation, al the decline above stated; some sales of good Scotch new have also been effected at 32s. to :35. per quarter for malting, and fine English was held ior the same purpose at 36s. Malt rled nearly the same as on Friday, and beans were further depressed 1.11 value, reducing our quotations full 2s. per quarter from those of Tuesday last. Oats continued to meet an extremely dull sale at the decline above-men- tioned.

IKON TRADE.—At a meeting of the Shropshire and Staffordshire Iron Master-, held at Birmingham on the lotti instant, a further advance of 20s. per ton took place on bar iron, and on forge pigs of 12s. 6d. per ton. Coals also were advanced *2s. per ton. Nails also have boen much advanced.—Fe'ix Pu r Try.

NOTICES TO CORRK^PON DENTS. "Lines on seeing a tri coloured lfag Jlying in a gentleman's grounds not four miles from Neath on Sunday Oct. 13th 1833." We admire the British feeling of the writer of I these lines but we trust it needs no bardic inspiration, to rouse the British men of Neath to do their duty. The communication of mir respcctd friend, the Rev. W. T. we regret to say, did not reach us till that part of our paper had gone to press; but it will appear in our next.

MERTHYR IYDVIL, SATURDAY, Oct. It), 1833. The present condition of the classes engaged in agriculture forms one of the most appalling- subjects of reflection that can easily be conceived. Of their progressive decline in recent years all who have read the evidence given before the Agricultural Committee must entertain a decided and painful conviction. No person possessing the slightest pretensions to humane, or even to honest feeling, can deny, that the situation of this respectable and very important body of men not only requires, but is justly entitled to re- ceive a large measure of relief, even though it should be at a considerable sacrifice. The case, indeed, is now come to that pass, that it is matter of pure necessity, and the question is, whether it be not better voluntarily to sacrifice apart, than compulsorily to lose the whole. Every deduc- tion of plain senso must shew us, that the only real demand for the productions of industry of every kind, the only source. from which the re- muneration of all industrious persons really arises, is the constantly recurring expenditure of persons who have no revenue, no means of expenditure, but that derived from the sale of the produce of land. All experience teaches us that this revenue is every where highly appre- ciated, the expenditure of it every where so rigidly monopolized at home, by every country that has an increasing population, that really none who are not in the last stage of delusion can seriously believe that any adequate support to British manufactures cOIn ever he derived from foreign resources. In support of this position we need only look to the tariffs of France, of Prussia (to which all the other States of Ger- many are rapidly acceding) of America, a great corn country, and Russia, which controls Poland a corn country likewise. The question then that comes home to us as rational men, whether engaged in agriculture or in other occupations, is, by what means may this great national interest, this important and almost sole market for the general productions of our industry, be preserved ? We have it in evidence that the poorer soils arc going out of cultivation, that the farmers, as a body, are losing by their trade, and that many of them are retiring from it altogether. The inference is, that the out- goings on the one hand are greater than the re- turns on the other and to bring them nearer to an equality is the desideratum. Of the out- goings the principal are rents, taxes, parochial rates and wages. In rent and ill wages it is difficult to imagine how any reductions can be made; because they -,ire.botli matters of contract between individuals who act voluntarily and with their eyes open. It is absurd to say, that if two persons think it worth white, the one to sell, the other to buy, labour, or the use of land, at a cer- tain price, the law shall interpose to prevent them. Besides, this is a form of relief in which what- ever is gained by one party is lost by another. The other two items, however, appear to us in a different light. Of taxes we have, on more than one occasion, adduced reasons for believing that a very considerable abatement, would be attended with a very inadequate abatement of revenue. In addition to our previous reasoning on this topic we say, that in this instance there cannot be a doubt that a great quantity of land lies uncul- tivated, or at least imperfectly cultivated, because with the present outgoings, of which taxes are one, it would not pay for cultivation. An abate- ment of taxes then that press upon the farmer, causes an increase of agriculture and of agricul- tural produce. In this we have two great advan- tages tending to make up the revenue. First, em- ployment is afforded to a number of labourers who have no employment; and thus, parochial rates are diminished, and the expenditure of parishion- ers in tax-paying enjoyments is increased. Secondly, the persons thus called into employ- ment become, instead of paupers, independent labourers, valuable to society in what they pro- duce, and capable of spending in the aggregate a considerable yearly sum in manufactured articles and in tax-paying commodities. Another great resource for the abatement of pauperism (and pauperism is the enemy, no less of the public revenue than of the farmers) is the cottage or allotment system. This excellent resource for the enlargement of human happiness, and which was first suggested by an English Bishop, hasieen crowned with a success which every way calls for the warmest praise, not only of parochial officers, but of all who feel a Christian interest in the welfare of the poor. Another source of complaint in parochial outgoings is tithes. The objection on this subject is, nine times in ten, not to the principle (for the British farmers are a body of honest men) 4but to the extreme uncertainty, among a class of men not deeply read in law, oi how much may upon this claim be legally de- manded from them. The benevolence frequently of one incumbent induces him to forego perhaps half of his right: his successor, in demanding the whole, or more than was formerly paid, is con- sidered extortionate, and the whole pariah is in dissension. We believe that we may confidently say that the whole of the Clergy, without one exception, would rejoice to see this remedied by a just commutation. A commutation in perpetuity in money, however, cannot be a just one be- cause the places which to-day are flourishing may in years decline, and tlie commutation would then be exorbitant. On the other hand, every improvement in land not only renders the tithe-payer able to pay more tithe, but Tarings an increase of population, and consequently of duty, to the clergyman, for which lie ought to be paid in proportion. By a spirited and comprehensive agriculture, and by the cottage system, the hills around us would, in a few years, be covered with a large population. Ought not the income of the clergyman to increase with the increase of duty ? The true principle then on which we con- ceive that a commutation might be properly made, is, that once in a certain period, say twenty years, the estimated produce of all lands for the ensuing twenty years should be valued by ajury, chosen half by the land owner, half by the clergyman. To cut short the interminable delays which may occur when twelve men have to agree on a value, and to prevent unfairness or partiality, we would suggest, that if after a cer- tain length of time they cannot agree, the two highest values and the two lowest values should be rejected, and the remaining eight of the jury give in their estimate on oath; and the average of this estimate should be the value, one-tenth of which should annually be paid to the clergyman. To mitigate the effects of great fluctuations in the price of corn, every four years, if the average price of corn was more than ten per cent, above or below the price at the beginning of the term, a proportionate increase or abatement of the sum paid for tithe should be made. These form some of the measures which we conceive practicable for the relief of agriculture.

The 11 Quotidienne mentions in an extract of a letter from,Prague, that the French deputation had an interview with young Henry on the 2!Jth ult. and presented an address. It is said that ific, Prince answered in very moving terms, which produced a great effect upon the persons who were present to offer him homage. Charles the Tenth and his own immediate Court, comprising the Duke de Blacas among others, seem to have held themselves aloof frcin this ceremony. The Ouchcss of Berri is ill at Trieste, and Charles the Tenth with the Duchess of Angouleme, the young Prince and his sister haw set out to visit her. Brussels Papers to the 11th instant mention that there were some disturbances on the 8th at Antwerp, which were partially renewed on the next day and suppressed but according to a letter from that city of the 10th, it was considered necessary to have a great display of military force to prevent a renewal of the riots. The insurrection, which broke out at Bilboa on the 3d, was promptly suppressed by theCorregidor declaring the insurgents out of the pale of the law, and threatening the malcontents with instant death. As the commotion increased, one of the deputation of the province, Sor. Ubrgon, was shot in the attempt to oppose the wishes of the populace who had declared for Don Carlos. —A telegraphic despatch, received at Paris, from Perpignan, states that Catalonia had risen in favour of Don Carlos, and that disturbances had broken out again at Bilboa. On tbe Gth Bilboa proclaimed Don Carlos King. The flag of in- surrection was flying in that town. A letter from Bayonne,dated the 8th inst.says, "the insurrection in Biscay continnes, General C istagnos has been defeated before Bilboa, and a part of his troops have gone over to the insurgents. On the 6th, at half-past eight in the evening, the Royalists of Vittoria proclaimed Charles V. The Military Commandant sent for General Butron, who promptly put himself at the head of the Patriots. The Carlists gave the signal of attack, the gates of the town were carried, musketry was dis- charged in the streets, and the authorities adopted the prudent resolution to retreat. The Carlist authorities were installed. At their head is the rector of Iragneto, in Navarre, who came for the purpose to Vittoria." Some smaller insurrections have taken place, but many of them have been suppressed. The first news which Don Carlos received of the demise of his brother was contained in a most affectionate letter addressed to him by the Queen Regent, in which she besought him by the affec- tion which he bore to the deceased Monarch not to disturb the tranquillity of the kingdom, but rather to aid her in such critical circumstances to preserve and consolidate the public peace and prosperity. It is not improbable also that the possibility of a transaction which might reconcile jarring interests was indistinctly hinted at. The answer of Doti Carlos was far from corresponding with the generally received opinioll of the modera- tion of his character. H I," said Don Carlos, have not to receive orders or advice from any Yo soy el Rey "—I am the King We are most happy to perceive by the tone of the minis- terial press, that there is not the slightest intention on the part of our government to interfere in the affairs of Spain either in behalf of one party or the other. The Queen Regent has issued a Manifesto, the n spirit of which is embodied in the following extracts "Religion and Monarchy, the primary elements of the political existence ot Spain, snau he re- spected, protected and maintained by me in all their vigour and purity. The Spanish people possesses, in its innate zeal for the faith of its lathers, the stronger guarantee that no one will dare to require obedience from it unless the sacred objects of its reverence and adoration are respected. I experience the liveliest satisfaction in con- sidering that it is a duty for me to preserve whole and entire that royal authority which has been conlided to me. I will maintain most religiously the form and fundamental laws of the monarchy, Y, without admitting dangerous innovations, however respectable they may appear in their origin, for we have already titiforttinatel), experienced their disas- trous, effects. The best form of government for a country is that to which it is accustomed. o I wiU transmit the sceptre of Spain to the Queen, to whom the laws allot it, without any diminution of its power in a word, such as the laws have made it." The manifesto then proceeds to say, that the Queen Regent will exert e^ery effort to remedy all abuses, to diminish taxes, and to establish a perfect union between all classes of the nation treaties with foreign powers will be scrupulously observed, and reciprocal fidelity will be required. The accounts from Italy announce that two corps of 120,000 men are being concentrated, one 011 the banks of the Po and the frontiers of Piedmont, and the other at the foot of the Alps, in the environs of Mantua and Verona. Ac- cording to the n.ost _rccent advices, the ancicnt spirit of order is returning jfjiii the ■■ih'ipdsr people arc becoming ciiltii v £ | Lisbon Papers lo the news of the resignation of fe^irmont, and some other of the French offrc&fhey also announce the capture of Abidos, being the only military operation alluded to in these journals. Tlie official part of the Chronica" gives an ad- dress from the authorities of Faro, which declares that it conld not long resist the siege of the guerillas- In fact the whole of the A1 :arves are in possession of these active partisans of Don Miguel. It appears, from the German Papers, that there arc insurrections in Albania and Bosnia of a very serious nature. The Bavarian government is busi'y engaged in placing the Jewish portion of its lieges on a new footing. A commission has been appointed for this purpose, and deputies from the Hebrew com- munities in every province have been summoned to consult with the board. It is intended to vest the right of appointing the Rabbis in the Crown, as has been latterly arranged in the king- dom of WurtemberL1. The Montreal Papers speak of rather serious disturbances there, so much so, that the most ac- tive exertions of the Authorities were necessary to prevent fatal consequences. The New Orleans Courier" of the 31st of August, says, y the health of the city is at pre- sent very bad the yellow fever is raging amongst us, and presents a more malignant type than it has for several years." The cholera is represented as vcrv severe in some parts of flic tJiiite(I States- In several small places the deaths are said to be one-fifth of the population. By the Papers from the Leeward Islands the slaves do not appear satisfied with the scheme for their emancipation, wishing for it imme- diately, instead of being obliged to wait till the expiration of their term of apprenticeship.
