LONDON, Nov. 1. THE Paris papers of Friday, Saturday and Sunday JL have been received. In the Moniteur of Friday, we find the following official intelligence :—"Govern- ment has received from Bayonne, under date of the 25th of October, 7 o'clock in the evening, intelligence that the operations of the Carlists before Bilboa had commenced. Eguia commanded them. He was at Durango on the 22d, with the artillery, and Villarea! at Zornosa, with three divisions, to cover those opera- tions/' This communication is followed up hy the publication of a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated the 26th inst., in the Moniteur of Saturday, an- uouncing that on the 24th the Carlists invested Bilboa at three several points raised two batteries to play upon the town and that the cannonade commenced early on the 25th. The Messager estimates the number of the besiegers at 8,000 men, and twenty-six pieces of artillery, of which only twelve carry heavy metal. The citv is defended by a Spanish garrison of 3000 men under Santos San Miguel, brother of the Captain- General of that name, and a reinforcement of nearly 5000 English from St. Sebastian. The town itself is fortified by two strong enclosures of field-works and since the last siege, our gallant countrymen erected works at Desierto and Deusto, so as to make sure of a free communication by means of the river. The attack on Bilboa may be only a feint to weaken the troops under General Evans, and to facilitate the prospect of a successful attack on the British lines. This opinion is strengthened by letters from Bayonne, dated the 25th inst., Arhich state that such was the conviction en- tertained by the Christinos in that city. We are, how- ever, gratified to learn from the same source that Gen. Evans is prepared for the worst, and that he actually suspects Yillareal to be concealed somewhere in the neighbourhood, ready to pounce upon the town at a moment's notice. Lord John Hay has sent the Pearl to Bilboa, and several other war steamers were ready to resist the Carlists the moment an attack would be made on the first line of fortifications.—The Moniteur of Sunday contains another telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, dated the 27th of October, which states that on the 20th Gen. Rodil was at Santa Cruz de Mudela, and in communication with Gen. Alah at Baylen. Gomez was at Fuencaliente, but nothing was known with respect to his plans. Gen. Alvarez, who has been appointed to succeed the traitor Peon, formed a junction with the Portuguese division at Leon on the 17th. f anz had then returned into the Asturias, having failed in his attacks on Leon and Oviedo. On the 26th the Car- lists were actively engaged in carrying on the siege of Bilboa, and had made several ineffectual atempts to bar the river. Such is the Spanish intelligence con- tained in the French journals. The Swiss question re- mains unsolved. Letters from Berne, of the 26th inst., state that the Committee of the Diet had held a meet- ing on the preceding evening, to discuss the report of M. Monnard, First Deputy of the Canton of Vaud, re- specting the differences with France. The Commis- sioners again assembled on the 26tb, when it was said to have been finally adopted by five members against two. The general belief was that the report would be presented to the Diet on the following day. Madrid journals to the 23d ult. have come to hand. The Cortes were to meet on the 24th. On the 22d, nearly two hundred deputies had arrived in the capital. Seuor Gomez Bercera was appointed President of the Chamber, and Senor Gonzalez Vice-President. The four Secretaries are Senors Salva, Hueles, Boza, and Lujan. The Queen was in excellent health, and very popular. Her Majesty was to open the Cortes in per- son. The Dutch papers, which are of Sunday's date, con- tain the Address of the States-General in reply to the King's Speech. The two Chambers having agreed on the terms of the Address, it was presented by a depu- tation on Wednesday. In general the Address echoes bark the sentiments of the Speech, and its insertion at length is therefore unnecessary. We extract, however, the following passage relating to Belgium: We shoold have been happy to learn at the same time, that an affair so deeply interesting, and so intimately con- nected with the prosperity of the Netherlands, as the ar- rangement of our affairs with respect to Belgium, could have been terminated in a manner honourable to the country. "We shall receive wirh pleasure the communications which, as your Majesty assures us, will prove that yonr Majesty continues to devote all your attention to this affair, so important to the nation." His Majesty was pleased to reply to this Address— "That he received with pleasure the address of the States General, as famishing a proof of unanimity that he saw in it the assurance that the endeavours of all would tend to promote the welfare of their beloved country, and that he hoped the Almighty would give his blessing to their endea- vours;" The communications alluded to in the Address were expected to be made to the States General on Friday or Saturday last. It is reported that the King of Hol- land has been earnestly urged to agree to an arrange- ment in accordance with the 34 articles. But these articles, vhiak kit Dutch Majesty formerly rejected, are now equally objected to by a party in Belgium. By the Frankfort papers of the 26th, we learn from Constantinople that Redschid Pacha haa obtained a brilliant and complete victory over the great Koordish Chief, Ravander Bey, whose possessions extended to the frontiers of Persia, and who was so totally routed that he was obliged to surrender with his whole family. On tbe heels of this good news, the intelligence of the victory obtained in Bosnia reached Constantinople, and also the intelligence of a victory obtained by the Rumeli Vales* over the rebel Mahmoud Pacha, in Albania, in which 3000 of the insurgents were killed. The Turks were full of joy at this saccession of good accounts. The new organization into Prefectures was expected at Constantinople, and it was thought that these successes would enable the Sultau to carry his reforms into execution.

Tl*ere is reasonable ground to suppose that the three Norther Courts, with the addition of Sardinia, from J time to time send regularly to Don Carlos supplies of money, Hie latter to as great amount as any one of them. Hamburg & Bordeaux are the commercial places made use of for the transmission—not over the Pyrenees, bnt by coasting smacks. Russia is supposed to be the principal mover in these transactions, although distant from her territory. The Rothschilds positively have nothing to do with it, their interest lying the other way. —Globe. Private letters from France, savs the Times, state the Freneh Government is occupied with a maritime movement of some extent, the object of which was, however, kept profoundly secret. Connected with it (as the letters state) is the arrival of Admiral Gallois at Toulon, "in the most strict incognito." He was ex- pected to proceed immediately to sea on a private mis- sion of importance. It was currently reported yesterday in the City, that advances made towards the settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium have come to nothing, onr Government refusing to entertain the question, so that it has relapsad into the same state ofuncertainity as before. New York commercial letters, by the Gladiator, re- prepresent the state of the market as considerably im- proved. Bills 4o a large amount has been negotiated on France and England immediately before the sailing of the packet; in both cases, as nearly as possible at par. Money was plentiful last week, the Bank Directors having discounted liberally, and Consols touched 89 on Friday, while for immediate transfer purchases were made at 88f, closing at 88g. Business very limited on Saturday, Consols for Account varying from 88J to 1, and closing at former quotation—principal transactions in Exehequer Bills, which had improved Friday, Old Bills from 3 dis. to one 1 pr., and New from 1 to 3 pr., but some further sales made Saturday for Bank, they fell, former to 1 dis. and latter to 2 pr., —India Bonds which had fallen from 6 to 3 pr., rallied Saturday to 5 pr. The following are the arrangements for filling up the legal appointments in Ireland, consequent upon the death of the late Sir William Smith :—The Attorney- General, Mr. O'Loghlen, will succeed to the vacant seat upon the Bench the Solicitor-General, Mr. Ri- chards, to the Attorney-General; Mr. Sergt. Wonlfe, M.P. for Cashel, to be Solicitor-General; and Mr. Ball, one of his Majesty's Counsel, to be raised to the dignity of Sergeant. In consequence of the report made by the Court of Inquiry lately assembled in the Royal Marine Bar- racks at Chatham, the Lords of the Admiralty have deemed it their duty to recommend to his Majesty that that the officers' names (whose conduct was the subject of inquiry) should be removed from the list of officers of the Royal Marines. Government have determined that the sinecure ap- pointments of General, Lieut.-General, and Major-Ge- neral of Marines, and the four sinecure Colonelcies of that corps, held by Captains of the Navy, should not be filled up as they became vacant. The appointment of General has became vacant by the decease of Lord De Saumarez, and one of the Colonelcies by the de- cease of Captain Sir Christopher Cole.— United Ser- vice Gazette. Mr. Day, the celebrated blacking-manufacturer, who died on Wednesday last, has been his will, bearing date immediately after the marriage of his daughter with Mr. II. Clagget. left to her a life interest in 4,0001. a year, payable to her receipt alone, and 2.0001. a year to Mrs. Day. These sums to go in equal divisions, after their respective deaths, to his nephews and nieces, whom he has appointed residuary legatees to his estate, amounting to 450,0001. The business in Holborn is ordered to be sold. A letter of the 18th ult. from Vienna announces that the Duchess of Berry had been delivered at Gratz of a daughter. The result of the experiments made for the French Post-office department has been so favourable to Rams- gate over Dover as a packet harbour, that it is likely it will henceforward be adopted for the line of com- munication between France and England. The oldest General Officer in the service, a Peer of the realm, is the Ear! of Cathcart., Colonel of the Se- cond Life Guards, who has attained his 81st year. It appears that the statement of Mr. Wilberforce having received considerable sums in his latter days from the bounty of Earl Fitzwilliain, as recently stated in a newspaper paragraph, is utterly unfounded. At the auditing of accounts of the Wincanton Union on Saturday, a saving of 4,4791. in the year was shewn. At the meeting of the Plymouth Town Council on Wednesday, an elegant silver box, contaning a vote of the freedom of that town to Lord Hill (then Sir R Hill) in 1812, was produced to the council by Mr. White- ford, who had found it amongst ihe plate of the late Corporation. It would appear that this testimonial of respect bad never been presented to the gallant officer. The members of the Reform Club in Pall-mall have inereased so fast that their club-honse, though spacious and one of the best furnished in the metropolis, will be scarcely sufficient for their accommodation in a few months should the members continue increasing. Their lease, however, has been only for three years, at the expiration of which time the association intend to have a new club-house erected on an extensive scale. Much curiosity was manifested on Saturday in con- sequence of the heavy fall of snow, which it was feared would greatly impede, if not prevent the running of the trains on the Greenwich Railway, but not the least inconvenience was experienced, and the carriages ran as usual. r, On Friday last, among the articles forfeited to the Crown, and sold by order of the Board of Customs by public auction, were the property found on the persons of Jourdan, Sullivan, Mott, and Scale, convicted of a robbery at the Custom-House. The articles consisted of gold watches, chains, rings, pins, and brooches, and realised, at exceedingly moderate prices, tbesum of 801. FIRE IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—Very consider- able alarm was produced among the gentlemen and others resident within the Bank of England, by the discovery at midnight of a fire in the Bank-note printing-offices, which are situate at the north-west angle of the main building, in Lothbnry. The fire was firs* discovered by one of the gen- tlemen whose night it was to be on duty (and to take hourly a general survey of all the departments), in the last room of a range of several on the first floor, in which workmen have for some time past been employed in fitting up machinery for printing the Bank notes and Bank post bills. There were two new steam-engines, of four and five horse power, besides several expensive presses. Part of the machinery communicated with the floor beneath. The floor near to a register grate was for some distance completely on fire. It was at first thought by the head cashier, who was early awake and on the spot, that by withdrawing the larger por- tion of the 32 soldiers who nightly form the guard from their respective posts, and by the muster of their own officers, they could with the assistance of their engines and buckets get the fire under, without producing any of that extensive excitement, which a knowledge of the existence of a fire within the Bank would produce abroad. The floor, how- ever, was found to be of such extraordinary thickness, and the fire had so complete a bold of its massive beams and girders, that after half an hour's labour, with pokers, which were the only implements they had for tearing up the floor- ing, it was deemed prudent to send to the head fire-station for assistance. One of the Bank engines had been brought into the yard behind the room on fire, and played through the window on the fire. Henderson, engineer, of Watling- street, took charge of the Bank engine, and bringing the hose through the window, attacked the fire at close quarters. At the same time, the other firemen, under Mr. Braidwood's directions, with their large pickaxes, &c., tore out the re- gister grate, and made an opening through the flooring. The branch of the engine was carried below, and the engineer was able to pour a powerful stream of water upon the burn- ing beams and girders. By five o'clock all danger had ceased. The Clerk of the Bank Works thinks that by some accidental neglect, such as dropping a spark, fire was com- municated in an aperture cut through the flooring on the previous day to the right of the fire place. At this part the immense beam that ran across the room is burnt nearly through. FIRE AT SEA AND Loss OF LtFE.—Information was received al Uoyd'sto-day of the loss of the Water Lily (Cap- tain Ruby), from London to Limerick, laden with oils, vitriol, and turpentine, which blew up on Sunday afternoon, and all on board perished, with the exception of one man. The vessel entered the river on the morning, and was boarded by a pilot, who observed smoke issuing from the fore hatch. way, asked what it meant. The master said it had been so for two days, but had created no alarm among the crew. At his desire the batch was cautiously opened, when the flames which had been smothered from want of air, burst forth from the closely packed hold, and blazed with such destructive fury as to baffle all human efforts to repress it. The crew had not time to get out the boat before the vessel blew up, and all were precipitated into the sea. The master was seen floating on a hen-coop, bnt not being since heard of, must have perished. A seaman, named Rogers, of Lyme, caught a plank, and the pilot held on,but was washed off by the waves, and Rogers, was picked up the following morning by the Eliaa, of Rotbsay, eight hoars after the catastrophe. Sq instantaneous was the destruction of the vessel, that the circumstance was not itnawn on the coast even by the boat that put the. pilot on board. The loss of the vessel and cargo is estimated at the least at 10,0001. GAS EXPLOSION AT DUNSTABLE.—The gas-works at this pi exe have been in progress of erection for the last three months, and yesterday was appointed to light up the town; everything was approaching completion and the retorts were charged for the first time at six o'clock on Triday evening. The contractor was on the gas-wotks with the Directors, and everything at that time was going on well. Shortly after the Directors and contractor left the works in charge of Roberts, an intelligent workman, who was appointed to manage them by the contractor, and, with two assistants, was left with strict injunction to be eareful to convoy no light about the premises in his absence; they had not left more than ten minutes when a dreadful explosion was heard, and upon reaching the works they found the gasometer blown out of the tank and lying on Roberts, who was quit dead the two other men were carried to a considerable distance, and have received such serious injury that no hopes are entertained of their recovery. A man in the employ of Mr. Higgs, a builder, at Dunstable, was passing at the time with a load of bricks; his attention was drawn to the works, and while he was looking in at the gate the explosion took place. He says he saw Roberts and one of the men leave the retort- house with a lighted candle and approach the gasometer, and immediately after it was lifted 15 feet into the air. Wis horses took fright and broke from the cart, but the man fortunately escaped unhurt. The damage done to the works is inconsiderable, but the deepest and most painful regret, is felt by all in the town for the loss of the nntortunate men, especially Reberts, who has left a wife and four children. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER.—The harvest scaicely ever yet concluded in the most northern parts of the kingdom, has been protracted by the unusual fals of rain. It has, however, on the whole, been got up better than had been at one time hoped. The effect upon the market has been to rally, or rather confirm, prices which had slightly receded at the close of the last and the com- mencement of the present month. They may, however, almost be called weather markets, for the factor's reports all begin by allusions to the weather. This year will try the ?uestion of domestic supply and domestic demand, and, so ar as s>o variable a matter can be reduced to certainty, will set it at rest. Farmers are in better heart, and therefore will not fly to the market as they did under the panic of last year. From this, rather than any natural cause, we conceive the prices will be higher generally, though not high, unless the supply turn ont to be inadequate.—a result we cannot bring ourselves to anticipate. Nothing can have been more favourable for the wheat sowing upon the lighter lands than the alternate rain and sunshine. We have even seen some wheat showing its long lines of beautifully green spires above the dark ridges in the most promising manner. The heavy clays must, however, have had too much of a good thing in the continual falls, but all is activity. The turnips have in many instances suffered under a new visitation from the black canker. We have seen manv fields where the leaves of the finest plants have been perforated by thousands of holes; and we think the crop will, from this cause, be shortened a full third in districts where the canker has pre- vailed. The prices of stock (of lean especially) have been somewhat checked and reduced by this calamity, but upon the whole, perhaps, the sales were nearly equal to the usual average. In truth, nothing but some very striking and uni- versally operating cause can greatly affect either the quantity of stock necessary to the agriculture of the country or the price. This year certainly looks better, in every respect, than the last, when people talked themselves into more than common irritation by the perpetual iteration of the cry of distress.

j$3ogtgfnpt. LONDON. WEDMSDAV, NOV. 2. The Speech of her Majesty the Queen Regent of Spain, on opening the Constitutional Cortes of the kingdom on the 24th ult., has been received in this country. Nothing pleases us so much in the composi- tion of this document as the candour with which her Majesty invites the Deputies to assume the hi;h and holy office of saving and giving liberty to the country. Her Majesty neither conceals nor extenuates the danger to which the nation is exposed from the Carlist rebel- lion. She inferentially admits that nothing short of a most vigorous struggle on the part of the Spanish people can speedily deliver Spain from the presence of the Pretender and she avows the extreme misery to which the population have been reduced in those districts where the rebels have made predatory incursions. She traces to the long continuance of the civil war, and its attendant evils, the ruin of the national finances, and the mal-administration of justice and in the third pa ragraph of the Speech she pronounces the present "cruel war" which distresses Spain, to be "not less terrible in its effects," while more bitter in its origin," than the French invasion of 182:3. This declaration will awaken Spain to a real sense of the critical position in which she is placed. Her Majesty, we are happy to observe, estimates at its due worth, the support which she has received from England, since our Go- vernment entered into the Quadruple Alliance. Of France she says but liftle, and even that little conveys an indirect censure of one of the last acts of Louis Philippe. The name of England occurs twice in the Speech, and on each occasion in language expressive of the good faith manifested by this country. France is only once referred to, and that once in the following extract:— The foreign Powers which in both hemispheres acknow- ledge the indisputable right of my august daughter, all con- firm their former relations of amity and good understanding with me. Among them, especially, the august allies of the Queen the parties to the Quadruple Treaty of Alliance, mani- fest the same disposition to maintain it; and in conformity to it they continue to afford us the same co-operation and assist- ance as before. To the many acts of support which we are indebted for to his Britannic Majesty, he has since added the support or the operations of our Northern Army by a naval force, which largely share in the glory reaped before St. Se- bastian on the 5th of May last; and he has just consented to send us a hundred thousand more muskets, which are so important to us in onr present situation. We are also in- debted to bis Majesty the King of the French for the rein- forcement which, with a worthy General, is already incor- porated with the Auxiliary Algerine Legion. It is true, indeed, that that Cabinet has since deemed it proper not to carry any further its preparations to complete the co-operation on the part of France. Her Most Faithful Majesty gives me daily fresh testimony of her good will; and at this very moment negotiations are proceeding with her Government, from which I expect a beneficial result, for the ultimate and more efficient co-operation of the Portuguese anxiliary forces The words in italics clearly charge the French Go- vernment, notwithstanding all its professions, messages, and speeches, with seceding from the Quadruple Treaty. The portions of the Speech which refer to the unconstitutional acts of the Ministers, and the only justification which they seek to offer for such acts- namely, the necessity of saving the country—display a magnanimity worthy of the honest advisers of a Con- stitutional Sovereign. Such an appeal to the noblest feelings of the Cortes cannot have been made in vain. Her Majesty is not wanting in solicitude for the main- tenance of the national credit. She expresses a hope that the payment of the half-year's dividend, due on the 1st of November, will be made very shortly; and that the Cortes will not be wanting in their efforts to assist the Government in maintaining and extending public confidence in the pledges given by the Adminis- tration. We are pleased to learn that Spain is on the eve of recognizing, on the basis of a firm friendship, the independence of her South American Colonies. The closing paragraph of the Speech is one of the most dignified appeals to the patriotism of a represen- tative Assembly we eve remember to have read. It will sink deep into the hearts of the Cortes and the nation. This Speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm. We augur the commencement of a new and prosperous era from the date of its deliverance. Van Dieman's Land Papers, to the 27th of May in- clusive, have come to hand. They announce that orders had been received by Colonel Arthur to return home, and the Journals belonging to the party opposed to him were full of exultation. A good deal of party spirit i prevailed in the colony, but it was otherwise tranquil. A telegraphic dispatch has been received at the French Embassy, announcing that an attempt had been yesterday made to stir wp the 4th Regiment of Artillery, at present stationed at Strasbourg, to sedition. The in • stigator was young Louis Bonaparte, but the parties con- cerned in the affair were at once arrested, and the riot suppressed. The publio indignation was very strong, and the military employed discharged their duty with great zeal and efficiency. We understand that the Tories are completely beaten at last out of the Corporation of Lichfield, where Tor ages they had been, till the Municipal Reform Act was parsed, fords of the ascendant, and since the Act passed have kept some footing in themunicipl body.—Courier.

I beg to subscribe myself, Gentlemen, Your obliged humble Servant, DAVID SANDERS. To the Burgesses of the Lower Ward of the Borough of Swansea. GENTLEMEN, THE honour which you have again conferred upon me, in electing me a Member of the Town Council, is much enhanced by its being your own spontaneous and unsolicited act, circumstances having occurred which prevented my taking any active measures to secure my own return and though I was re- peatedly urged by my friends to make at least some demonstrations of a desire_ to be re-elected, even if only fortbe sake of occupying a place which might otherwise fall into worse hands, I resolved not to interfere, being fully convinced that the inteitigent Constituency of this important Borough would never be induced to return ill- qualified persons to their Town Council, or if any such should gain an admittance into it, that they would never be suffered to retain any permanent footing. I cannot then sufficiently thank yon for this reiterated expres- sion of your confidence, and as the best return I can make you, I will promise the utmost exertion of anv sagacity I may possess in the administration ofyoor Municipal affairs and I assure yoa I will take to the discussion of them a perfect and fearless inde- pendence, having neither private interest to serve nor ambitious desires to gratify.
