The cause of the disaster has not transpired.

source of grout uneasiness that Fiasco should have the prospect of obtaining such an in- funnen in Spain as would give her the command of the magnificent Mediteranean on-board of that country, Taken in connection with her established position on the opposite coum of Africa with her successful intrigues in Egypt and Syria such a footing in Spain would undoubtedly be a great stride towards the realisation of that dream of the Empire, making the Mediterranean a Franch Lake." This, however, concerns England more than it does the other European powers. To those, however, it cannot fail to be a matter of deep con- cem, to see removed the check of an independent power in the rear of France.

Anything that wonld facilitate the acom- plishment of this, is certainly inconsistent with the doctrines of the balance of power; and upon this ground the marriage is objected to by the English Miniatry,

The marriage is also opposed upon the ground that it is a violation of the stipulations of the Treaty this is, not that the marrings of a French Prince of Utrecht. All that is meant, we apprehend, by

The British Go vernment would, we believe, be satisfied with the renunciation, on the part of France, of all preten. sion of the Duke of Montpensier's children to suc. cend to the Spanish throne
To the general apprehension the third objection will carry more weight than either of the others, About two years ago, upon the occasion of Queen Victoria's paying visit to Louis Philippe, at the Chateau d'Eu, the subject of this marriage was fully disonsaed between M. Guizot and Lord Aberdeen, and the discussions, it is mid, were even shared by the two Sovereigns. The English Minister object- ed in most decided teries to the marriage of a French Prince to the heiress presumptive of the Spanish throne. His objection was met by the sug: gostion that the marriage should not take place until the Queen had been married, and had borne children. This arrangement was acquiesced in by Zod Aberdeen, and so the matter restel it being understood that no attempt would be made to bring about a marriage between a French Prince and the Enfanta until the succession was secured out of that line. Now the French King and Government have undoubtedly set this arrangement at defiance; and in the protest of the British Ministry much stress is laid upon this leinen about to leave the Colony; price 890. tight in this country as this so intelligable to the None of the merely poli- handsome Grey Fony, the property of a gentical objections to the marriage have had so much For particulars enquire of the Farrier at Messrs general comprehension.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.-The most distres- sing accounts are being daily received relative to the extremity of destitution in Ireland, which the most energetic endeavours of the govenment bave hitherto been unable to effectually alleviate. The pressure of want has in too many instances pro. duced riotous outbreaks among the peasantry, the most serious of which occurred at Dungarvon on the 29th where a number of people, to the amount of eleven or twelve thousand, marched in from the surrounding country, and proceed to attack bakera shops, from which they took quantities of bread. The mob were about to attack the stores of mer. chana and others, but fortunately a troop of dra- goons, arrived from Kilmaethoras, and with the co-operation of the military force already here pre- vented further depredations. In the evening, some of the populace commenced throwing stones, and the dragoons had to charge them repeatedly. The soldiers were at last ordered to fire, and about twenty shots were discharged. Two men were seriously wounded. They are still living, but se- veral others, it is feared, were wounded more ar less severely amongst the crowd, who fled subse- quently to the firing One of the wounded has since died from the effects of the injuries he recei- ved in the unhappy affray.
