A THOUSAND years ago, when pilgrims from many parts of Asia and of Europe were resorting, year by year, to Kiev—the holy city among the hills, to which the capital cities of the world sent tribute—there was d Scatty in providing resting pleces for the compel(' which arrived from the north and nor•h esat. There was • confluences of a river and two brooks sod • group of two hundred ponds at one spot in the steppe, which seemed suit able fur the purpose; and on that spot a little solitary chapel wz.s erected, and a priest was ap pointed to *rive it. A few roofs soon sheltered the pilgrims; and the Katcher, which belonged to them showed Low great was the ffrtili•y. That little chapel atilt exists, kokirx much es it did a thousand years ago, and much as it may do when all around it bus crumbled into rein. That lowly little old. fuhioned church is usually crowded with worshippers; and next enouth it will be as full u it can hold, night and day. It stands under the shadow of the cathe dral of the Assumption at Moscow, where the Cur ALRIANDER is going to be crowned. Around that little church have arisen seven cathedrals and six hundred churches, most of which have five or more cupolas; so that, judging by the appearance which it presents to the approaching traveller, Moscow should be the Holy City par tZellalllCll of the world. While these churches have arisen round the antique nucleus, the gardens have be come a thousand, and the little lakes have by de grees been enclosed within parks and p 1 grounds; so that Moscow I. reasonably the boast of Russians, for its beauties and pleasures, as well as for the sacred privileges which make it truly the holy city of the Muscovite. There will a new Czar be presently crowned, encompassed by delegations from the powers of the world of Ger day. All the pomp that the nations of Europe and Asia can manifest through their representatives will be there; and close at hand, within the saeloenre of the Kremlin i!aelf, there will be exhihked spectacles more calculated to looter the pride of Resale than all the magnificence wt.ich will be presented es the homage of the existing generation. In that range of galleries which all strangers will visit—that place in which are preserved all the crowns, canopies, and marriage robes of all the Emperors—there are relics w►ich the Muscovites show to their guests with throbbing hearts. The crown of the conquered kingdom of Kaman is there, and beside it the crowns of Astrachan and Siberia. The symbols of the sovereignty of Georgia are there too; and a plain mown of height gold, with a cams in the centre, be kluging toe throne of blue velvet studded with golden eMre—the crows and the seat of Guiana, Boman. lad STANISLAW; Allot:rms. Gifts and trophies are there from all royal cities from Pekin to Lisbon, hem every country lying between loelaad and Madegmear. From the day when dwellings began to rise mead the chapel is the desert to the tees► doe et the present Clel, every reign has added something to the pride of Moscow. First, churches and palaces were multiplied, and then every sovereign desired and strove to contribo'e some memorial of the annexation of a new state. From the time when St. Petersburg arose out of the swamps, it has been the ambition and the custom of Rusin monarehe to add to the row of keys of conquered fortresses in the cathedral of the new capital, and to the display of ecewee and thrones in the Kremlin of the old. It cannot be but that this aspiration most be in the menvey of every witness of the apprombieg coronation—from the CZAS himself to the humblest attache of the smallest legation present. The ques tion cannot but be in all minds whether ALax•rraza IL desires and designs to adopt and fulfil the ambL don of his ancestors, or whether he is capable of the higher and better aspiration which it met be re. nerved for some eovereigne to entertain, sooner or later. The march of centuries must bring on the change in civilisation which makes it a die geese instead of a glory to carry off moves and throes. by the strong hand, as men wed to levy the cattle and the merchandio of the caravan, and to lay waste kingdoms as barbaric chiefs need to harry their neighbours' land,. Sooner oe later the day must come which will show to every potentate that the kingdom which most requires conquering is his own with its needs and its faults ; that the keys of his own fortresses are thaw which he had better hang up, and that the trophies of educe, sit, and popular welfare, will shin* more brightly in the eyes of pos terity than all the barbaric gold, ivory, and isms, that the famous Moscow galleries can show. The coming of that day can no longer be altogether ig nored. NICHOLAS talked a. ALRIANDER L had talked before him of the massing deal he had to do ter hie people, and of the folly of sapposing therefore that he dreamed of any aggression beyond his own frontier ; sad yet he kept up two armies, one for boas and another for foreign service; a vast force for the interlard service of the coantry, and a yet vaster foto., the greed Army always moving about on the frontier where he erected • chain of fortresses, and stored the. with war-mate rial to as amount with which that of Sebastopol itself cannot compare.

It may be well that, a. the moment of die. play—the crisis, perhaps, of a &oho between two methods of ruling his empire—is drawing near, another spectacle, equally impressive to those who know how to regard it, is presented in another pro vince of his dominions.

The Aloelde Molina at Barcelona, who was kept in close coctlnement in the citadel, has been true ported to the Canary like. The junta commiesioned to manage the conscrip tion for the army duds it impossible to obtain the requisite number of recruits; and the contractor has given notes that he le unable to complete his engage ments for that business, and prefers to Ambit the 'menet of his bond, 2,000 dues. A committee of the ajuntamiento upon this matter has resolved to apply to the Captain-General for an extension of the time allowed. In default of other news, a glance at the subjects treated of by the different Madrid news papers may not be without some interest. The Epoca declares that the law for the election of the ajnotamientes will positively be put into execution by the O'Donnell government. The organ of Navies, II Leon Espanol, advises O'Donnell to retract the promisee made in the Manzsaares prc• gramme. The Parlament°, in reply to some remarks of the Dismiseson, affirms that the Moderados are agreed about supporting O'Donnell. The Diario Espanol examines the manifesto of the Marquis de Mirailores, which is published is the Espana, and takes some pains to prove that the Bravo Marino cabinet actually did contemplate a coup deka of its own. The 4asociatton also animadverts upon the manifesto of Miraflores. The Criterion acknow ledges reluctantly that the reconciliation of the different sections of the liberal party must be, if not impossible, a matter of greet difficulty. The Discussion vindicates the de mocratic majority in the Corte@ from the censures east upon them by the Paris Constitutions's,, The Cattolico, which belongs to the absolutist party, calls upon the organ-of the cabinet, the Epoca, to explain the fact that every government finds it necessary, for the preservation of social order, to supersede the pretended constitutional guarantees, and to rule des potically; in conciliation, it insists upon returning to the system of despotism pure et simple.

At the commencement of last lane a rupture be tween the Moderadors and Progresistaa is the Ever. two-O'Donnell cabinet appeared inevitable. Obliged to give up Roe de Olen% sensible that the publicity given to the Report of the Commissioa on the goes tion of Christina would compel the Cortes to take it up, O'Donnell began to meek a pretext for a eorp-d'etat. The disorders in Old Castile furnished him with what he wasted. The incendiary mob of Palencia, Valladolid, and Rio Seco struck terror into Spain and Europe. What esysterioes hand was it that armed with &threads those Castilians, as a general rale so tractable and so loyal, whose habits of order prestnt a contrast so striking to the restless terbalenoe of Catalonia and Aragon P The Moderado journala received the word of com mand. Day atter day the Poles& press teemed with invectives against the revolution, loudly demanded measures of repression spinet the progremsta organs, whom it accused se the instigators of disorder, and, by disseminating panic among the middle classe s, pre pared the way for a Moderado dictatorship. Esoosure, on his return from a tour of inspestion ia Castile, brought with him, it is generally reported, conclusive proofs of the intervention of the absolutist and priestly party in these frightful disorders. Certain ultra-Moderados were also gravely eispro mired by the report of Recomira. The nmosores which, with the support of Esparta°, he proposed, would have struck directly at absolutism and maid a. O'Donnell opposed this. The pretext for the atop d'ftsi was found. Has a polittoal party really been at the bottom of these disorders in Castile P We will submit to our feeders pertain hots which may enable them to answer this question for themselves. Palencia is the principal seat of the nicsoriere, or grain manufactur ing industry of Spain. The abundant growth of cereals in Castile gave rise to this branch of industry at the oornmeneensent of the present century. Mon son, who was the first to establish mills on the Cas tile canal, two leagues from Palencia, was smug sated in 1808, as a traitor to hie country, for having supplied Roar for the French armies. In 1818 Oxero set up at Barron a mill worked by water power. The small proprietors, who up to that time had ground their grain at home by the simplest and most unim proved processes, found it better worth their while to sell it to the millers. It bad been found merely pos sible to supply the demands of Cubs, as loot as lour was admitted there duty free. But a duty of 5 per oeut. Davin* been imposed on its introduction by Count Villa' Nueva, when governor of Cabal, the industry of Palencia was for a time mei onaly affected, and its inhabitants began to seek in improved and cheaper methods of production for the means of struggling against the difficulty. Large establishments were soon founded, furnished with all the improvements introdeoed into Swope, and more than forty mills, all of considerable magnitude,' absorbed the grain predates of the province, and the neighboarieg districts. Machinery was everywhere substituted for manual labour. The landholders finding ready buyers, the pries of oorn rose is the market, and although the extent of acreage under grain cultivation was perpetually on the increase, the activity of the demand kept prices at a high average, if mewed with those that prevailed twenty years bask. This progress had net been sooonsphahed without oppositios. At any period of real or sup posed dearth, popular movements were got up wi.h a view of stopping the export of flour. These dine dere never went to the length of assassination, se in 1808, nor of Ineendiariem, as in 1858; but their periodical recurrence indi cated the state of opinion, and the eoonontioal prejudices of a popalase kept la a state of grass Ignorance by the clergy. Valladolid may be considered as the glossal depat for grain and lour is the province. There, as at Palencia, all commercial intersoarse had occasionally been inter rupted by mobs, isstigated to violence by a dread of Seib data befog the bum ••4 preiispeddia it dapple, almik ha us see what tisk ides Is Ike maks of hay ova hoe bra The army owed la Me Maeda of Palencia no lees then 40.000 espeete yespordee, the aggregate rental of whisk if e at easy 3 per cent. on the purchase mosey, sweat to about 2,000.000 reel; sod, in past elk* wee very awl &ebb that saw.

The mob passed in front of the Cabildo, the ohapterhosse of the canons. Several of the priests watched their proceedings from the windows; far from interfering to check the outbreak, their attitude was rather that of en couragement to the rioters. The houses burned belonged to thee* who had shown themselves most hostile to the paris probe. The Chapter has since intervened to solicit pardon for those riogleaders who have been condemned by the Commission. At Valladolid and Rio Seco the victims of the riot, as at Palencia, were the enemies of absolutism and of the prima. In Old Cull!., more perhaps then an T other pro vines of Spain, the secret propagandist society founded by the Jesuits, and whose principal seat is in Paris, reckons numerous fanatical adherents, disposed to obedience by long habits of implicit submission to the dictation of the clergy. This society, which in Primes takes the name of Sr. Vincent de Paul, and spreads like a vast network over the whole empire, has for its ostensible object the encouragement of district visit ing societies, for the purposes of charity and religion. In every country of Europe this society changes its mode of operation in conformity to circumstances. In Spain it organises the artisans and agriculture' labourers into mutual benefit and friendly societies, in which it inculcates hatred of the middle classes (sa liberal, sectarian, and atheistical), and preaches the doctijnes of communism. The troubles in Barcelona ' in 1854 brought to light the organisation of one of those societies, which, under the patronage of the Bishop, and the name of eseuela de la virtud (school of virtue), inculcated into the working classes hatred against their employers. In another paper we pro pose to give some particulars of these secret societies under the management of tbe clergy. From what has been already stated, it will appear that the disturbances in Castile have had their source in the ignorance and prejudices of the population. If any political party can be accused of having ex cited them, no person of ordinary candour can pos sibly impute the blame to the Progresistas. CONDITION OF SPAIN : ITS POLITICAL ORGANISATION. BY AN =OLDIE TRAVY.LLZB. The characterisation of the social upect of the different provinces of Spain which my former com munications have attempted directly points to the polity of the state ma an ulterior question in the present inquiry. And inasmuch u axial relations must more or leis immediately govern the program of political organisation, it may not be inappropriate to consider at once the merits of existing principles and the conditions of a wiser administration. The Constitution of 1837, with all the violence to which it has been subjected, is the leading political iostitution with which the reign of Isabella is asso ciated. This Constitution has much in its attributes to remind us of our Reform Act. It has, indeed, this material distinction, that it was not a constructive development, but en original organisation. It wee, however, the subject of a struggle between the Moderados and Progresistas similar to that el 1832 between tortes and liberals in this country ; sad, like our parliamentary reform, it was so far confirmed by the deliberate judgment of later years as to be afterwards wicooditiosally accepted by the party originally opposed to its introduction. It is only due to the Progresista ministers of 1837 to add, that it appears impossible to discover how any prac ticable scheme of government could then have been devised without a total revocation of the then existing form of legislature. The legislative reform or revolution—for the din tioction between these terms is rather conventional than abstract—which was established in 1837 was of two kinds. It respected, first, the central or parlia mentary; secondly, the local or municipal govern ment. But, while it provided this general end special organisation, it totally ignored the provincial distino tions which have been already described. A repre sentation of these distinctions could alone pourtray the national character, and ensure the harmony between the government and the governed, which is of course necessary to the vigorous action of any scheme of political organisation. The Progresistas, in short, erected a new parliament on Progresistan principles; and they applied our municipal system as it islets. to the principal towns io this country, with a considerable difference indeed in detail, to nearly all the larger villages of Spain. Bat they created no intervening popular j urisdictions oorre spooding to the chief national and social divisions of the people. Of this scheme of organisation, viewed as a whole, it may be fairly said that no national constitution was ever framed so directly is the interest of its com peer"; and that no constitution, thus exclusively designed for party purposes, ever exhibited so consi derable a cheroot prstrinal utility. In truth, when we consider the evidence which it presents of partisan motives, and remember the territorial strength of the Moderadci, it seems incomprehensible that such a measure could have been proclaimed without instantly rousing a tumult evilest its originators. The liberal tendencies of this municipal and par. liamentary constitution were multiform. In the first plate, the Progreaistas, by bestowing a corporate existence upon all the small towns, ensured the cohesion of bodies uaturelly and originally disposed to a support of liberal principles. In the second, they took care to render this municipal organisation so liberal in its franchise as to ensure themselves (wherever Moderade opinions might prevail emcee the higher classes) a preponderating democratic in fluence in each local government. Thirdly, when this extensive local polity bad been designed for the liberal part of the mummify, no provincial jure diction were crested with a view of counterpoising the liberal by the territorial interests of the pro vino's. Finally, the political franchise was sur rendered pretty much to the municipal authorities; and although by much more restricted than the mu nicipal franchise, the holders of the latter, as a result of their own organisation upon the spot, necessarily exerted a strong and nearly overwhelming Influence over the possessors of political rights. This was, is fact, the most specious and plausible incident in the whole scheme. The breadth of the distinction between the two franchises seemed, at Int sight, only to throw into stronger contrast the conservatism of the parliamentary element. Bat when the polities! franchise had been mos made os-extensive with municipal jurisdictions, which smelly brought phy sical as well as moral influence to bear upon elections. political power fell into the hands of the misses, aid so long as no other influences were employed, that power would have remained with them. How, then, it will be asked, was the Pseigemble government overthrown within six ysem of tie creation of this constitution; mid were sesesinim Moderado edam ereletabeed double that ttil the ieeeneedee d 74114 period, en,. ._ This very opposite result to what might fairly have ben predicted with the utmost confidence was brought about by the action of three concurrent arose. In t►e first place, the dinegsnisation of the Pregnant's, es a political party in the state, had become complete its 1843 with the fall of &par tore, whose government had, to the first inatemes. alneatrd a largo notion of his legitimate sappseten.

Thos all mcmbere of the Academies of the Fine Arts and of History were similarly included in the fran- 1 chin, if they were of the standing of Acidemi• clans. Tile municipal franchise extended to mere apothecaries, comprehending all protessioos and nearly all degrees in each. Beyond this fixed differ ence to the two suffrages there was this ancillary but important distinction, that while the political electors were required to have paid up all the taxes and rates for the current year, the municipal electors were not. It is thus obvious that it was the direct character of the Progressista constitution to reserve the political franchise for the better classes, and to render the municipal nearly universal and unlimited. But so violent were the attempts of those endowed with mu nicipal rights to force their sentiments on the political, electors, that it may appear astonishing that the republican party did not triumph at once over Pro gresistas, Aloderados, and Oahe'. The constitution by which Spain can be alone ren dered at once vigorous in its reforms and stable in its government is something different both from what the Progresistaa made it, and from what the Modera dos would wish to make it. lam no enemy to that which is properly understood by a Moderado element in the state, when theoretical principles are disso ciated from their individual representatives. By an exaltation of Moderado principle. In the abstract, I allude to the greater prominence of the territorial element in the state. Spain has a far greater propor tion of landed to borough interests than our own country, while the theory of the constitution has assigned to the former nocommensuraterepreeentation. The result is that the landowners govern by corruption, instead of governing openly and justly in conjunction with the holders of the borough franchise; and the resulting evil is just the inversion of that which ex isted in this country before the Reform Act. Mode redo bondholders and a Moderado government com bined to buy democratic boroughs, much as Birming ham and Manchester might have bought Gatton or Old Sarum. There can be no doubt that it both the municipal and territorial interests were fairly repre sented, the existing elements of cool:het would be in a great degree harmonised, and that if they were thus fairly represented in Provincial Estates, in due subor dination to a central parliament, the crying evil of absent landlords would be effectually remedied, be cause those landholders would be immediately inter ' ested in guiding the character of provincial legisla tion. This appears tome to be the principal want of Spain, so far as legislative organisation is concerned. In another communication I shall advert to the anomalous elements of power which are inconsistent with the freedom and stability of Spain. 'before the Ws war began. The Aret ship was ad mitted into them in 1853. Thus was Sebastopol a sort of exponent of Russian government be fore the eyes of the world, as long se the palsy of PETER was transmitted with the crown. At present a crisis has Intervened; sad the external presentment of it is most striking and touch ing. On the 21st of list month an archbishop of the Greek Church, whose diocese comprehends Bberesm and Taurids, arrived by the Csai's order its Sebas topol, for the purpose of consecrating the ground on the southern shore of the harbour, preparatory to the rebuilding of the city. Not long ago he would bare been welcomed by the bells of many churches, and have passed between rows of decorated dwellings, and through a multitude of kneeling worshippers. But now all was desolate. There was not a church to receive him. and he humbled himself to officiate in the little Marine chapel—the only sacred building left. That chapel had no altar, and a shelf of boards was made toured tile purpose of one. There mu no remnant of a resident population, fog (hero was not a human dwelling lift. A few mariners and an engineer or two, employed in the mournful work of examiaing the sunken ships, a few soldiers, marched there for the occasion, and a few spectators from Simpheropol, were all who could be collected to attend such a functionary on such • ogle bration. Instead of the eager and joyful multi tude who usually throng to the spectule of cones orating new ground for living uses, there was only a group of mourners over the grave of Russian pres tige. The real multitude present was that of the dead. To some clear•seeing eyes there, they most have swarmed up from the waters of the harbour, the clefts of the ravines, the ruins of the street., and the turf of the plateau ; and if there be deception in this new consecration—it Sebastopol is spin to be a centre of aggressive action—it would scarcely have been unreaaonable to listen for voices from the grays to say that it must not be. The Cult has pledged himself to use the harbour sad city for none but pacific par. poses. We must hope that he is sincere. Whether he is so or not, it would be well that in the midst of the pomp of his coronation he and his people and his foreign guests should remember the forlorn ceremony of last month. While the bells of Moscow are making music everywhere within the wide horizon, and the cannon are firiog, and the sunshine is Bashed back from millions of dia moods, and • flushed multitude are shouting the Gams and titles rf their Emperor, and the whole pomp of a prodigious empire is gathered into osedsszling show, it will be well if all minds steal one glance at the other scene of consecration, where nothing was heard but the solitary voice of the priest and the dash of waves upon the beach—where the cannon lay burst and overthrown, and the brook was dry, and the sun shone on heaps of dory ruins, and where, if there was any multitude, it was that of silent ghosts upon the shore. Such is the result of the last CZAR'S dreams of conquest ; end the next should take warn ing. If he does so, sod pursues in sincerity • pacific policy abroad, and a policy of development at home, Sebastopol may rice from its ruins, as empires peas from barbarism into civilisation, amidst the 000gratalations and good wishes of the world, taking the place of student jealousy and fear. The world could offer no better wish to the Craft on his corona tion than that his new S.,beatopol might thus become • type of his whole regenerated empire. gOt Court. OSBORNE, Au our: 17.
