Powers will first withdraw their ambassadors , then send a fleet to protect their subjects resident in Naples , and will aw ait eventualities ; manifestlyexpecting that the King ' s subjects will take the opportunity of teaching him his moral obliga- . tions . Tlute we may call tha promissory part of the Western policy for the present . We do not know how far it will be made good , but -it would seem impossible ttat if Naples should persevere the Western Powers « h . oul& Alter .
O'DoN-WBtr . has decreed a new Constitution for Spain— -the Constitution of 1 845 , with , some modification in an ' additional act . ' Generally described , the Constitution restores the two Chambers , somewhat assimilating the Senate to our House of Lords ; binds the Crown to assemble the Coi'tes for four months in each year , with power to distribute those four months as the Crown may please ; drops the National Guard ; places the appointment of Mayors , like our sheriffs , in the Crown , the selection to be made
from a list sent up by the electors ; and places the press under modified restraint . It is a compromise intended to keep : more power for the Crown . and the officials in commission , while conciliating moderate ; people , and promising to reward all and sundry -with appointments in . various places , from the Senate to the Mayoralty . It resolves the immediate position of Spain iuto the question , whether the liberal party or the country at large will be disposed to speculate in shares of the O ' -Donsem ; project . at
in earn *** , which is one quality in a public man ; but it is not everything . It has been remarked that Mr . Smith O'Brien stands in contrast with Mr . John Frost , since he holds back from public life . But those who make the contrast forget thai Mr . O'Brien also stands ia a position of comparative independence , —his family possessing ample means ; so that he can choose his own course m life . It is , ia £ ict , quite impossible to get up any public movement at present . The Sunday League have attempted a conferenoe on the mode of carrying out their object , the opening of museums and other places of rational amusement on Sundays . The conference was intended to representthe px'ovincial towns ; but comparatively few members attended . The discussion and the
interest which it will create in the principal "towns will probably do good ; but the smallness of the gathering shows how difficult it is at the present moment to create the slightest activity in any question of home business . The ' shipwrights who struck because Messrs . Young and Co ., of Lamehouse , determined to abolish the custom of * bever '—that is , an interval in the morning and afternoon devoted to drinking- —and who conspired to prevent other workmen from entering Messrs . Young ' s employment , have avoided actual trial at the Old Bailey by pleading guilty ; the prosecutors waiving the punishment . The question really at issue was , whether an employer has the right to make regulations respecting the hours of labour . Messrs . Young abolished the two intervals allowed for
drinking , but gave more than an equivalent in point of time . The men resisted this change , and in resisting strayed beyond the law . They have been taught a lesson in generosity : but if they reflect a little further they will see that the true principle for tlie benefit of all , in the existing state of society , is freedom—the same principle as that which makes Free-trade better than ' Protection . '
The Danubian Commissioners have ^ met Constantinople , with very little probability that their labours will be brought to an immediate conclusion . England , it is understood , stands committed to no particular course with regard to the union or continued separation of the Provinces ; Turkey inclining to the old arrangement , and Russia going for & union . The difference between the two Houses of the American . Congress is concluded . After continuing the Btruggle for some time , tlie House of Representatives h . a 3 passed the Army App ropriatxoa Bill-without the clause forbidding the Federal
Government to employ the army in Kansas . The army has been hitherto employed there in repressing disorders ; but practically it has operated to repress the Free-soilers , aad to cover the encroachments of the Southern States . The Representatives , therefore , appear to be acting for the protection of the Fiee-soilers , the Senators aguinat the Free-aoiiers . There is reason to suppose , however , that tlie majority has been principally carried by the influence of those who desire to prevent an open conflict between the two Houses of Congress . Secondly , many Americans , who hold very earnest opinions on the Kansas question , flaw the inconvenience to which the
Executive would be subjected if tlxe means for paying the workmen in the public departments , and for paying , tlie . soldiers , were withheld . The vote we consider not bo much a concession to one side or to the other , but to the immediate interests of the Kepublio Of the llepublic . The question of Kansas is adjourned to another session , and it is probable that t ] io adjournment will be resumed with feelings much calmed , and not the less so by thie concession on the part of the Representatives . London has been visited by a Chartist
demonstration . A portion of . tlie Chartist party have clung together and have seized the occasion of tyx . John Frost ' s return home to get up a great meeting ; but the attempt was not successful .

" Will yon , -workmen of England , second our efforts , and even as we give proof that Italy ia one in our hearts , will you also prove that the cause of liberty is one in yours ?

STATE OF TRADE . The trade reports from the manufacturing towns for the week ending last Saturday show that the condition , of the general industry of the country is too healthy to be affected by any perturbations in the London Stock Exchange . At almost all points , business ; exhibits an increase of activity , with a tendency to higher prices . According to the Manchester report , although the transactions are of moderate extent , the demand is fully equal to the supply . At Birmingham , increased confidence is felt in the maintenance of the price of iron , and inmost
of the general occupations of the place , especially in tin manufactures , there has been a marked increase of employment . At Kidderminster , Mr- G . P . Sim cox , the largest handloom weaver in the town , has suspended , but his difficulties appear to have teen of long standing . The Nottingham advices describe unusual animation for the period of the year , and give a very favourable account of the prospects of trade with the United States . In the woollen districts there have been extended , operations at improved prices 5 and the Irish linen markets present signs of increasing firmness . — Times .
In the general business of the port of London during the same week , there has been little change . The number of ships reported inward was 164 , being 24 less than in the previous week . Thirty-seven cargoes of corn and flour have been reported , nearly all from Russia . The number of vessels cleared outward was 151 , including 17 in ballast , showing an increase of 7 . —Idem . A great many rumours with respect to the stoppage of the Royal British Bank continue to float through the commercial circles . The delinquencies of the concern are said to have dated almost from its commencement , and it is asserted that , one-fourth of the capital having been lost in the first year of its existence , tho company , according to the provisions of its charter , ought to have been at once dissolved . " The worst part of the affair , " says the Times City Article of Wednesday , " will , it is
feared , prove % o consist of a series of acts such as no persons could , have adopted except from a studied determination to make the Bank the scapegoat of their own speculations and necessities . Thus , the advances to individual director ? as well as to tho general manager , and the securities taken against them , are said to be of « nature , and to have been carried on for periods , which can leave no doubt as to the aspect of the transactions . One correspondent expresses suspicions that , even after tho Bank had become embarrassed by its connexion with the coal and iron works in Wales , the chief efforts employed wero with an intention to extract some personal profits from them instead of to retrieve , as far as possible , tho interests of the shareholders . ' It should bo asked , ' he says , * at the approaching meeting , first , whether two or more of the former directors did not
enter into an arrangement with tho Bank for carrying on the works on their own account ? Secondly , whether the advances niado by the Bank to tho enid directors have been repaid , or transferred , as the speculation failed , to the debit of the Welsh property in the books of the Bank ? And , thirdly , whether , in fnct , the position of nfla-lrs was not pretty nearly to this effect : If the coal and iron works thrive they belong to tho said directors , but , if otherwise , they revert to tho Bankad vances and all ? ' Another correspondent has transmitted some documents with respect to which thcro cannot bo much mistake . Thoy are dated within n weak of the stoppago of tho Bank , and contain an urgont invitation to tho person to whom they wero addressed to join tho direction , ' consisting of gentlemen , of undoubted means and position , ' tho manager being meanwhile jrepared to afford him « tho fullest information .
