The following letter has been addressed to the France : Part', Feb. 28. In your number of the lith February last I read a letter from Spain relative to the royal family, and in which I find the following phrase referring to myself :—" As to the Infante Don Enrico, the only one whose absence has hitherto been remarked and regretted, he is said to be about to rerumehispost of honour by the side of the Queen." I must declare that assertion to be without foundation. Faithful to the principles of liberty which I have pro fessed all my life, I cannot admit that my place of honour at the present moment lan be where illustrious Spaniards have been victims of a most violent reaction, and where a regime of terror and proscription has replaced the most essential sacred rights and guarantees of the con stitution. I have left Spain, determined to sacrifice every- thing, even the future of my children, and live abroad, poor and forgotten in my retirement, rather than by my presence at Madrid appear to approve of acts so deplor. able. In the meantime, until that situation, so painful for my country, shall have ended, it is in France, a gene rous and hospitable nation. that my post of honour is at present to be found. —Receive, &0., ENRICO MARIA. JAPAN. The Japau Herabi gives the following account of "an attempt made to intimidate" Sir H a rry Parkes on the 31st of December : This morning as her British Majesty's minister was riding through Sinagawa he was confronted by a Ysoonin who, planting himself in the middle of the road, stood in a threatening attitude with his sword partially drawn. The Yaconins who composed the minister's escort, being called on to arrest the man, looked every other way and allowed him to walk off. Sir Harry Parkes, determined not to let the fellow escape, rode after him, followed by the troop-sergeant major. The man, finding he was closely pursued, took to his heels, but was soon brought to bay, pale as death. At the order of the minister the man was then seised by the Yaconins and disarmed, the two swords, after some show of reluctance on the part of the Yaconins, being handed over to the minister. The disarmed Yaconin was then led a prisoner to the British legation, where he was soon given over to the custody of a Japanese official who had been sent for to receive him. The Overland China Mail of January 15, says : The civil war is now is now officially announced to be over, Chesil' being allowed to retain r essession of his conquests on the other aide of the Straits. Stotebashi, the new Tycoon, has recently had a conference with the Mikado, end as Mamba meeting at Osaka with the principal Daimim. Reports from a reliable source state that the two conferences promise well for the foreign status in Japan. fitotsbeshi seems fully inclined to enforce the observance of treaties and to foster the acquirement of European arta and languages amongst his countrymen. Diplomacy has been actively engaged during the pint month in arranging and completing a new convention for improvements in the settlement, and the liberal concessions acquiesced in by the Japanese govern ment in favour of foreigners, are tangible proofs of the improved and more liberal feeling which is daily shon itself on the part of the Japanese towards foreigners. In Yeddo a series of fires have taken place ; the last, which commenced on the night of Friday, the 14th January, being the moat extensive for a great many years. We are told indeed, that four tulles of houses have been destroyed in the commercial quarter. THE WEST AFRICAN MAILS. The mail steamer Mending° arrived at Liverpool yesterday from Old Calabar on Jan. 28 ; Came roon, and Fernando Po, on the 30th ; Bonny and Brass, on Feb. 2 ; Benin, on the 3rd ; Lagos, on the sth ; Accra. on the 7th ; Cape Coast Castle, on the Bth ; Cape Palmas, on the 10th ; Monrovia, on the 12th ; Sierra Leone, on the 15th ; Bathurst, on the 12th ; Teneriffe, on the 23rd ; Madeira, on the 25th. She brings 1,6001. in specie, and 2,226 ounces of gold dust. At Old Calabar, Bonny, and Brass the trade was dull, but the ports were healthy. THE REPRESENTATION OF NORTH SHROPSHIRE. —On Saturday afternoon, Lon( Newport, the gentleman selected by the conservatives to succeed Mr. Cost in the representation of North Shropshire, issued an address to the electors, in which he says, " My political opinions are conservative, and I believe are in accordance with those of the hon. gentleman whose place I seek to fill. If I have the honour of being elected as your member in parliament, I should wish to reserve to myself an independent judg ment on all matters affecting your interests and these of the country, but should go there prepared to give a general support to her Pilajesty's government. On the great question of parliamentary reform, which now occupies so much the public attention, I should be pre pared to assist in the endeavour to pass a measure which would considerably extend the franchise, without unfairly disturbing the balance of political power. There is another question which I feel is a subject of great interest to a large number of this constituency, namely, the malt tax. It is a tax which in my opinion presses heavily upon sonic classes and when a revision of taxation is under the coa -1 siderat ' ion of the House of Commons, I consider that this tax should be among the first, if not the first, to be re moved." After some deliberation, the liberals have de cided not to contest this seat at a time when a dissolution of parliament appears to be a not improbable event. Lord Newport's re'urn, therefore, will not be opposed. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. --On Saturday afternoon the ordinary meeting of the shareholders was held at the offices of the company, at the institution, lie gent-street. the Rev. J. R. Owen,chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report of the directors showed a profit of 492/. he. Pd. for the half-year, and this, added to the surplus of 350/. 19s. 7d. brought forward from the previous half-year, made a total available balance of 84:1/. 3.1., out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent., making, with the dividend already paid, 7 per cent, per annum. It was proposed by the directors to send Professor Pepper to Paris during the Exhibition, with the view of collecting materials for the purposes of the Royal Polytechnic, and probably to inaugurate a lecture on the general content* of the Exhibition. After entering into several details con nected with the institution, the report drew attention to the great success of the educational department, and concluded by recommending the thanks of the pro prietors to Professor Pepper, manager of the institution, for his valuable services. The report was adopted. A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent., free of income tax, was declared. ---- DESPATCH OF WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.— I SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 2.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Atrato sailed hence to-day with the mails for the British and foreign West Indies. Mexico, the Pacific, California, Central America, Australia. New Zealand, &c. She took out 69 passengers and • fall cargo of general merchandise, including English specie. 16,3501. ; French specie, 8001.; English jewellery,97s/.; French ditt0,4,8921.; and 650 bottles quicksilver, value 5,0001. sterling.

THE SPRING MEETING AT LIVERPOOL. to tee coma or ens :teases. SIII,—M6 announcement that "Noma Pompilius was struck oat of the Nottingham Handicap at 3.20 on Tuesday last " was all the satisfaction the over-anxious public had for their blind following of the son of Romulus ; and the way several of their old pets for the Grand National seem to be going should not encourage them to persist in forestalling owners of horses ' especiallyafter their experiences of Christmas C aro l an d Saccrometer at Lin coin. How the blind can lead the blind was singularly illustrated in the case of Nunn. Pornpilius, • horse the public had scarcely heard of until Monday last, when rtunours of his having won a great trial, ens' an apparent commission to "put the pot on" drove all the world uiad to be on ; but for some reason he could not run, and his victims have not even the matisfaction of knowing whether the trial was all gammon, or he will do another day, for, although taken to Notting ham, the clerk of the scales was told the horse would not start, just when the information was worthless, as the jockeys were commencing to weigh out. The stable was unrepresented in the race after all Sweet Anne not being quite ready just yet, though she looked none the worse for her change of quarters ; consequently —as one of the Beadle's most threatening opponents, Exoeller, met with serious disappointment—another, the Lizard, would not try when called upon—and a third, which shall be name ler, ins only out for • gentle canter on it/ way home from a fruitier journey to Lincoln—the second to Vender velde hid it all his own way at last, and recompense.' the Duke otHaznilton for any previous disappointment with his LOW. purchase. The Beadle, however, could not sustain . his prestige at Derby, and the fol lowers of Julius had better know a little more of him before they book the Two Thousand a moral, the " line" through Bismarck in the Lincolnshire Handicap being a very dangerous string to hang upon, though M. Dawson hoe undoubtedly made a good honest horse of his trial nag. No two-year-old came out during the whole week to touch Ninny ; and but fur Clarice's easy triumph making her look well kr the Liverpool Spring Cup or City and Suburban, the business at Nottingham and Derby would not otherwise have called for comment. Nor will the doings et the Liverpool " Spring " Meeting of the cur rent week possess more than a passing interest, apart from the Grand National Steeplechase and perhaps the Cup, for the two-year old races are unworthy of notice at present ; the probability of the Tyro bringing out a second Lady Olken, Dundee, or Big Ben (the first three in 1860) being very remote. There will be far more fun got out of the hurdle race on Tuesday, when the meeting commences (frost and snow permitting, of course) ; and with Helen, Fortunatus, and Chimney Sweep running to get a line for Fan, Skakspeare, and Tennyson ( or Doctor !), they should all finish in Vie front rank, Helen having bid fair at Not tingham to make a first-class hurdle-racer. Ornament, a promising filly enough last year, is in the Flying Handicap at a feather; but Exceller may represent the stable after the speed he exhibited at Nottingham. the evergreen Queen of Trumps having to give him 151 b. The latter came out fresh as a kitten at Derby ; nevertheless, upon the strength of the relative performances of her and Crown Prince with Landlord, Lord Westmoreland ought to beat Lord Bateman, Indian Star holding the Queen safe also from last year's doings, the probability being that Lord Westmoreland has the winner in one of the pair, as Narino can give his lordship's third string, Gipsy Queen, the 91b. required. The mile Mersey Cup is rather too far for the Star, so that perhaps Lady Pam has only Ulphus to beat to win ; and if the Aintree Plate—five furlongs—is not good enough for Crown Prince or the strangely-favoured Salliet, a three-year old, Canard, may win that too. In the second day's Sefton Handicap, over an extra furlong she will not exactly prefer, Salliet has an extra 101 b. on her back, though Crown Prince has precisely the same weight, Lord Westmoreland also having Ulphus so nicely in that be may sack both this and the Flying Handicap, albeit Panacea appears a very good thing on paper for the six furlongspiri which Exceller will just like also. Brun- stone is decidedly best in for the NV elter ; but the short Hurdle Race I cannot data, pending the Annual, which may alter the weights to a material extent. The Grand National Steeplechase is just as perplexing, and will probably remain so to the last, for it is hard to see the game playing with Mr. Studd's lot (Shangarry, Clansman, Despatch, and Sensation), Mr. Carew's Mak =and Dermot Asthore, Weaver's Tennyson and r, and the Alcibiade people's King Arthur and Columbia ; besides which we have Astrolabe, Cortolvin, Globule, Little Frank, and Fan going for what appears to be good money. The only really " fishy " candidates that were once fancied, beyond Columbia and Dermot, com prise tbw Plover, Burney, Silver Star, and Whitehall, though 'it is impossible to discover that there is anything the matter with the first favourite the talent ever made, Surney ; and as the Banker, Lightheart, Ibex and Sea King, Little Wideawske, and Genievre, long ,as are the prices laid against them, appear to be in the dangerous division, there is sure to be an exciting race, that may remain " open " until the front rank land on to the racecourse for the final run home. Four miles and a quarter of probably heavy ground, with a regular splitting pace from end to end, will be nice work for the above mentioned (and several others that will turn up among the starters at the tut moment) to participate in, and the " prophet " who can foretell the result, when the chapter of accidents must be inch a heavy one, may thank his stars. In the first place, Shangarry, Despatch, and Clansman are each put forth as the " best of Mr. Studd's," the inference being that because this gentleman had several good horses (among them was Salamander) last season, he must have at least one this. Next, it is understood that Mr. " Alcibiade " Angell, who won with a five-year-old the world knew nothing about in 1865, has assisted to try another unknown youngster, King Arthur, to be " a cer tainty if he only keeps on his legs," his Majesty's supe riority to Columbia in private being tremendous. But as a rule keeping on their legs is just what the young ones cannot do at Liverpool, and I am not even sweet upon the six-year -old Shakspeare or Dermot Asthore, great as they are over hurdles. Fan has had some practice over both hurdles and a country ; and we have seen Clansman get over a Revere three miles and a half without a blunder; consequently, it may happen that Mr. Barber's noire beats all the novices, in which category Tennyson mast be included. The latter's mate, the Doctor, went the course on the last anniversary of the Grand Na tional, and may outdo him in public if he is the inferior at home; as may also Columbia get home before King Arthur. In fact, " with • start," I should include Co lumbia in a lot of six to beat all the others backed, Astro labe (going right through for a place), Cortolvin, Globule, Fan, and whatever they back of Mr. Studd's (Shangarry is by far the best performer)comprisim , the other five. These are • nice string to tie up the new Kends with, the fifty to-one Banker and Little Wideawake comprising two of the " rank outsiders" that will also, from all accounts, set Shakspeare a severe task ; and but for • fear that Globule may prove too small to carry his big weight, he should unhesitatingly have my preference. But there is no fault to find with Cortolvin, who could get over any country, tying or otherwise and I can perceive nothing better worth standing, now that Columbia looks so shaky, and there is such uncertainty as to what Mr. Studd means. The Liverpool Spring Cup, one mile and a half, will give a better idea of Clarice's qualities than the Not tinxham Trial (lid, and she must be pretty good to beat Edgbaaton at so much—nearly 201 b.—the worst of the weights, the latter having more to fear, perhaps, froui Skirmish than the filly. The Steeplechase Handicap, with the six grand military chases that arc this year to come off at Aintree, and will greatly strengthen Thursday's and Fridry's cards, must not be interfered with yet, for all the i danger there is in Bemires and Be,lale for the first named, and Tiger and Lincoln in the Gold Cup ; and previous run ning may almost settle Friday's Handicap Plate.—l am, Lc., METEOR. - - BETTING IN LONDON.—S•rnlinsr Arita:toes.

Olb The boat was coached this aft;inoon by the Rev. W. Maule (First Trinity). There are two boats being built for Cambridge, one ordered of Messrs. Salter, of Oxford (stealing into the enemy's camp this), the other of Messrs. Searle, of Lambeth ; the better of these two will he chosen for the final struggle for the year. The race will take place on Saturday, April 13. The time will be be- tween nine and ten in the morning, according to the tide. On Saturday night the members and friends of the Cobden Club dined together at Willis's Rooms, St. James's. The inaugural banquet, it will be remembered, took place at Richmond last July, when the chair was oc cupied by the Right Hoo. W. H. Gladstone, M.P., Earl Russell, Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., and other distinguished re presentatives of the liberal party being present. Since that date the club has considerably increased its list, and now includes the names of nearly a hundred members of parliament, amongst whom are those of several of this Irish liberal members. The meeting on Satunlay night was the first occasion on which the club Ilse assembled since it met under the presidency of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Houghton took the chair. Lord HOUGHTON, in proposing the toast of the club, held up the example of Mr. Cobden for the imitation of reformers. In these times • man is just as much exposedto misrepresentation and calumny as were the reformers of old, although we constantly find the very ideas which have been considered revolutionary adopted on a sudden by those who had denounced them as so destructive. The noble lord also expressed his regret that after the victory of free trade such men as Cobden, Bright, Villiers, and others were not made to share in the responsible govern ment of the country. Commenting on the French treaty, his lordship incidentally mentioned that Mr. Cobden first met Louis Napoleon at his (Lord Houghton's) table when the pri oe was an exile in this country. The Duke of ARGYLL, in proposing the health of the ' late president, Mr. Gladstone, dwelt on the combination of public services and personal character which contri bated so greatly to the potency of Mr. Cobden's influence. His grace had some doubts as to whether Mr. Cobden's I absence from of ciad life was a misfortune to the country, for turn who were pioneers of opinion often served their fellow-countrymen beet—Lord Shaftesbury was an instance in point—by keeping themselves free from office. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The noble CHAIRMAN here called upon Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., one of the original founders of the Anti-Corn Law Lowe. Mr. J. B. Sit ITU, 11.P.,wh0 was enthnsiantieally received, I said it gave hini great satisfaction to see so many new members had joined the Cobden Club. He had been woo -1 Mated at an early period in the labour s of Mr. Cobden in I consection with the struggle to obtain free trade in oorn. The anecdote told by the noble duke of Lord Fitz williarn • reminded him of an incident which took place in NM, when that noble earl came tothe office of the Anti-Corn Law League in Palaceiaril,and remonstrated with the treasurer for asking for a total and immediate repeal, it not being, be thought, possible to carry even a '..1/s. duty, and that so fax as a total repeal was concerned they might as well try and overturn the monarchy. The old treasons, a man of very solemn countenance, turned to him and said, "Then, my lord, the monarchy must be upset." (Laughter.) He ' was also reminded of another anecdote connected with the subject. A few days after that speech of Lord Melbourne's to which the noble duke referred, Lord Brougham pre• seated a petition to the House of L or d s , an d rat h er startled their lordships by saying, " I rise, my lords, to present a petition from 3,000 lunatics. They are men, my lords, men who petition for the repeal of the corn laws, and according to what the noble lord at the head of the government stated the other day all such men must be mad." The noble lord had done justice to the character of Mr. Cobden. All who knew him acknowledged that he was a man of a most loving nature—and it was that loving nature,that singleness of mind and purpose, which enabled him to accomplish more than any other man. Mr. Yergs Timmins (who stood with Mr. Gladstone in the contest for South Lancashire) concurred in the opinion expressed by Mr. Smith. He recommend e d a ll th e mem bers of the club, both in public and private life, to follow the example set them by the great man in whos e h o n our the club had been founded. Mr. Camas proposed " The Health of our Irish Allies," and stated that the cause of liberal reform had been most materially helped forward by the aid of the Irish members. A heavy cloud had for some time settled upon the sister country, but he hoped that brighter day. were in store for that country:, and in the redress of any existing grievances Irishmen might rely upon the generous assistance of Eng lish liberals. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Lawsox, M.P. (late Attorney• General for Ireland), replied to the toast, and said that his country hail been united to England for 67 years. The match had been thought to have been to a certain extent an unfortunate one. A divorce could not, he was happy to say, be now ob tained, and he oonld offer no better wish than that the conjugal tie should be rendered as close as possible, and that there should be a complete restitution of conjugal rights between the two countries. (A laugh.) Professor Faweerr, M.P., in proposing the next toast, paid a graceful compliment to the memory of Mr. Cobden, whom he said be revered more than any loan he ever met. When speaking politics, he (Professor Fawcett) could not talk platitudes, and must say the thi ng , which were nearest and dearest to him. He had been asked to propose " The growth of liberal opinions in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge." He was confident that liberal opinions would continue to grow in those ancient ends of learning. Oxford and Cambridge were the purest intellectual demo cracies that had ever existed. There was no other road to emolument than by intellectual distinction, neither blood, birth, nor wealth were recognised as the high road to dis tinction ; even royalty could not touch its honours and prizes, and sooner or later this must be the . principle on which the liberal party must rest fur its e xistence. The principle which must guide them when they had carried reform, and upon which they most take their ground, was that they could recognise no claim nor qualification from the men who governed the country except intellectual gifts and moral worth. (Hear, hear.) }or himself he could not recognise the claims of any governing families to govern others utiles they showed that they possessed intellect and morality. He hoped to see the day when every disability would be removed from the universities, and in endeavouring to obtain the removal of those dis abilities they hail not had that support from the liberal party which they had a right to expect. (Hear, hear.) The toast having been drunk was acknowledged by Pro fessor HENRY SMITH, of Oxford. REFORM MEETING IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.--OH Saturday, at the hour appointed, Mr. George Potter, whose name appeared on the placard convening the meeting, with some other persons, made their appearance, and mounted the stonework of the column. The assembly in front gra dually augmented, but at no time was there more than 2,000 persons assembled. On the motion of Mr. Brooks, Mr. George Potter was voted to the chair. He said that wee only a preliminary meeting, and hail been convened at about three days' notice, and therefore they could not ex• poet a very large gathering, but there was one thing most satisfactory, and that was that those who were there were the genuine sort of men. They were going to have a series of these meetings at four o'clock every Saturday afternoon for some weeks to come, and then these meet ings would no doubt culminate in a great national demon stration. (Cheers.) Mr. Connolly moved the only reso lution that was proposed :—" It is the opinion of this meeting that the government measure of reform, as ex plained by Mr. Disraeli, is most unsatisfactory in ita cha racter, and a fraud on the right of the working clauses, we hereby call upon the liberal members of tlae House of Commons to resist any measure of reform which does not recognise the just representation of the people ; and we are further of opinion that any measure which does not include an extensive lodger franchise will not be satiafac tory to the working classes." He denounced the fancy franchise schemes of Mr. Disraeli, which, he said, gave the franchise with one hand and drew it back with the other. The working classes were not to be humbugged into the belief that giving the vote to the " rateatcher and the pedlar, to the parson and the schoolmaster," was extending the franchise them, and therefore they would be satisfied with nothing short, as a settlement of the ques tion, of manhood suffrage and the ballot. Mr. I.7pnliall seconded the resolution. Mr. Lucraft and Mr. Richardson having also addressed the assembly, the resolution was put and carried unanimously amidst great applause, and a vote of thanks having been given to Mr. Putter fur presid ing, the meeting dispersed. REFORM MEETING AT BRADFORD.—An open air meeting, which included about 1,000 persons, was held on Saturday evening, under the auspices of the Bradford branch of the National Reform League, on vacant ground near Chapel-lane.

Mr. PAnLToN proposed "The Health of Mr. John Bright," the colleague of Cobden, and whom be described as part and portion of the best able of English character. Lord F. CAVENDISH proposed the thanks of the club to Mr. Potter for his exertions in connection with the present meeting, and at the inaugural dinner of the club, of which hews the founder. Mr. Porrtn, M.P., n acknowledging the compliment, disclaimed any praise for the part which he had taken in the formation of the club, as he felt no sacrifice could be too great on his part in an endeavour to perpetuate the name of Richard Cobden. The proposal to form a club of this kind on the model of the Fox flub was made about twelve months ago, and at first there were some persons who did not altogether approve of the idea of giving an annual dinner, but his own belief was that such dinners had a good effect, and that it was well that a kindly and good feeling should be promoted between these who worked in the ranks anti those who led them. The club now numbered Is 4 members, of whom 95 were MI tubers of the House of Commons, and four members of the other house. (Hear, hear.) In ad dition to the system of giving dinners, the coinmittee had arranged for the use of rooms convenient to the houses of parliament, at No. 4, Westminaterdmildings, Victoria. street, where members of the club might meet during the day, and he should he sincerely gnititied if the emaciation should make its influence felt in lath branches of the legislature. Of this be was certain, that the committee would do all in its power to advance the success of the club, and promote the objects which they had in view in its establishment. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings were then brought to a close.
