jforeism Late News.... London papers to the 5th Aug. have been received at New York. Markets were about the same or rather better than the last advices. The distress among the laboring " classes in England still continued; but the papers mention no late disturbances anions the "operatives." There is no political news of importance; the following ex tracts are given: - Spain. The following is ah extract of a private letter from Madrid, dated July 20: "I find this country still in the same state as when you were here; quiet enough in the interior, but with much distress! In the provinces they begin to feel the scarcity of money, and it the government be not quite in a state of lethargy: if .it uoes not enectsome operations to re-establish its credit, I know not how it can meet those expen ces 'which are inevitable. That which is now considered of most importance here is the state of things in Portugal. The Spanish government, however, does noth ing, because it can do nothing; for it has neither troops nor money to send to the frontiers. Here they appear convinced that France too, will not do more than offer its advice." Letters from the frontiers of Spain, of the 22d July," state, that at Saragassa the -Liberals and Ab solutists have come to blows, and when the accounts left it was not knowinvhich party had the victory. A letter from Paris states that all the Allied Powers have sanc tioned tire new Portuguese char ter, and have also notified the Spanish government not to inter fere in the affairs of Portugal. ?'oine accounts state that Fer dinand of Spain had determined to adopt anew order of tilings for the better.

The ardor with which those , reforms are urged, we have more than once alluded to; and it appears by letters from Constantinople, of the 3d, which are quoted in these papers, that it was on the increase at that date.

They write from Con stantinople under date July 3, as follows: "The Sultan is always oh horseback, and continually dis plays the same firmness.
