Routledge. The literary position of Mr. Prescott among his torical writers has long been fixed with • degree of definiteness which makes it unnecessary to estimate his qualifications anew with every addition to his works. Mr. Prescott does not wield quite so dramatic a pen as Thierry, nor has his style per haps all the masculine vigour of our own most popu lar historian t but then, if he is not so bright and dazzling as the former, he is more natural and easy to read ; and if we sometimes mile the strong mental muscle of Macaulay, we have equal copiousness of reference, equal conscientiousness of analysis, and equal anxiety to deduce clear and intelligible gene ral principles from the mass of details with which it is the arduous task of the honest historian to deal. In the portion of the reign of Philip the Second with which the new volume of this history is occupied, the paralysis which is the consequence of too suddenly and too easily acquired wealth was gradually creeping over the once vigorous and mighty yof Spain. The nobles of Castile and had ceased to take the Cid as their model, bad beams 'apple and effeminate cour tiers. Anadenal (Meek gorged to repletioarerith the death-bed spoils of the sinners of the Amer can were, sat like a nightmare on the energies of the people, or only allowed vigour to be exhibited in the persecution of the enemies of the faith. The Cortes, the "Faithful Commons" of the time, were a nullity, commanded first to vote the supplies in silence, and then graciously permitted to vent their complaints to the idle winds, while the decay of patriotic feeling in the mass of the people threw the brunt of the foreign wars epos Italian, and German, and Flemish mercenaries. In two hemispheres the problem of how to deal with a conquered race was being worked out according to the approved theorise of the time, and cruelty to the verge of extermina tion was the system practised in both, with what fatal effect to the conquerors was already beginning to be seen, long before the grim creator of the Escurial had been gathered to his fathers. What was the result to Spain of Spanish cruelty in America Mr. Prescott has eloquently told us in former works: what it more gradually but as surely produced in the parent country it is the business of the present volume to relate. The struggle of the Gothic race with the Moors was in the beginning • patriotic war, and whilst it was a patriotic war, it was a glorious one ; but when once the full tide of success had been established by the soldiers, the church stept in, making it what they profanely called a holy war, and then it became a mere &situ, and a slaughter, ruth lessly. destroying a refined, a useful, and a pro. gressive people, and transforming the once manly, chivalrous, and dignified Spaniard, into the san guinary monster which to this day he shows himself to be whenever the sight of blood amass his lethargic ferocity. In Philip's time the poor Morisooea had submitted, had sued for mercy, and had, in appearance, conformed to the religion of the conquered ; but they still had Granada and the Alhambra, still had fertile lands and rich jewels and beautiful women, and therefore, bigotry and avarice and lust still refused to sheath the sword, or to cast down the gibbet. The counsellors who surrounded the throne of Philip incessantly goaded him on to acts of which they were to reap the profit and theiroountry ultimately to bear the irreparable lose. It was a great crime then in Spain to be a Morisco. The ruling race were determined that their miserable slaves should remain in' -bionic revolt, and everything that • fiendish in genuity could devise was made law o.ae. fn keen up the irritation. The privacy of their houses was violated, the costume of their women was changed by offensive sumptuary laws, and they were forbidden the use of the bath, which was to them at once a religions rite and a physical necessity. In this way was the poor worm trodden upon, and when it turned at last the iron heel of the conqueror was always ready to crush it without mercy. Then, when cruelty was sated with blood, expediency stept in, and deported the last remnant of a miserable race from the region which their arms had made their own, and which their genius and civilisation had trans ' formed into a paradise. The immediate result of this summary treatment of the Moriscoee was, of course, an immense accession of wealth to the church which had hounded on the soldiers, I and to the generals who had commanded in the wars. There was much military glory ac quired, for the "enemies of the faith" fought with the courage of despair, and the Spanish troops had not yet reached that pitch of demoralisation in which mere physical courage, the lowest of the sol dier's virtues, disappears. The traditions of Fer dinand and Isabella were still preserved, although horribly perverted, and the famous infantry of Charles the Fifth could still avail themselves of the discipline which they had learned in worthier wars. But evenalready the symptoms of national gangrene bad begun to appear. The soldiers frequently threw off the authority of their officers when invoked in the cause of humanity, and a very slight cause of offence was sufficient to dissolve • regiment, and to send its rank and file marauding over the country. Treachery, intrigue, and pecula tion were everywhere at work; and when the last act of cruel conquest had been completed, and the Moors were completely banished from their beloved Granada, the decadence of Spain could be seen to commence even under the ken of then living ob servers. Mr. Preeoott lingers over the structural pecu liarities of the old Moorish towns with the love of en architect, and places them before his readers with the brilliancy of a painter. His sieges and' battles are full of life and motion, while those pedantic details which only confuse the non-military reader are skilfully avoided. The per sonages of the volume are not merely described, they are re-vivified for us with complete dramatic effect, and we become as interested in their fate as in that of the hero or heroine of our favourite romance. It is not easy to detach passages from such a his tory. The siege of Oalera is too long for extract, although it will be read with intense interest in the book ; and the battle of Lepanto can hardly be under stood, although as fine an account of a sea fight as ever was written, without • previous reading of a rather long intr oductory chapter. We shall there fore confine ourselves to the account of the death of Aben-Humeya, the Moorish King, a tale of love, jealousy, and aasassinatiou, which is complete in itself, and a pleasing specimen of the narrative power of the author : Among Aben-Hurneys's °fibers !was one named Diego who had a beautiful kioewocosn, with whom he lived, it is .aid, on tams of gloater Intimacy than wee juati &ad by the relationship of the parties. As be was mte day imprudently apsaklog of bar to Aben-Howeya In the glow ing languago of a lamer the cariosity of the king was so munch in fl amed by it that be desired to ass her. ID addition to her personal charms, Abe fair Zplaara was mistress of many accompliehmeets which rendered bee still more attrac tive. Bbe bad • sweet voice, which she accompanied be witchingly on the lute, and in hardanciegdisplaj ed all the soft and voloptoons movements of the dark-eyed besotted of Aedolnaia. When brought before the king, sbe did her beet to please him ; for, though attached, la it seems, to her kinsman, the ambitious coquette bad no objection to bsving a royal suitor in her chains.

The most Important corps in the Maim alley was that of the Turkish mercenaries. Bat they were so fierce and turbu lent a race, that Abet:L./Loney& paid dear for their services. A strong body of then troops lay on the frontiers of Orgi be, under the counnaad of Aber -Aboo—a near relative of the Morisco prince, whose life, it may be remembered, he had Once saved, by submitting to every extremity of torture rather than betray hie looking-pleas. To this commander Aben- Hemeya despatched a messenger, directing him to engage the Turks in a certain expeditioe, which would serve both to give them employment and to satisfy their appetite for plunder. The time named for the toesesega's departure wee com municated by Zithers to her kinsman, who caused him to be waylaid and murdered, and his despatches to be secured. He then lied a letter written to Aben-Aboo, which bore, ap parently, the royal signature. This was counterfeited by his .1 an _, a young m then holding the post of secretary to ueseys, with whom he had lately conceived Dome ream of tinge.. The letter stated that the insubordination ' of the Turks made them dangerous to the state ; and that in same way er other they most be removed, and that epsedily.

Abut-Abdo bad as little mind to perform the bloody work sarned to him. He had no distrust of the genuineness of the letter. Ho:seem the connessiler of the Turks, happen ing to pan the house at that time, was called in and the despatches were shown to him. The fiery chief insisted on communicating them to some of his comrades. The greatest indignation prevailed among the Turkish leaden, outraged by this bass treachery of the very man whom they bad come to neve at the peril of their lives. They one and all de mended, not his deposition, but his death. Diego Atoned saw that his scheme was working well. He artfully fanned the dame, and professed to share deeply in the indigestion of the Moslems. It was at length anted to put the tyrant to death, end to offer the crown to Abis-Aboo. This chieftain enjoyed a high reputation for sagacity end prudence. His passions, unlike those of Aben-Humeya, seemed ever under the control of his reason ; and, far from indulging an ill-regulated ambition, he had been always faithful to his treat. But the present temptation wee too strong for his virtue. He may have thought that, since the throne was to be vacant, the descendant of the Orneyas had a better claim to it than any other. Whatever may have been the sophistry to which be yielded, he knew that those who now promised him the crown had the power to make their peones good. He gave his seeent, on condition that, In the course of three months, his election should be oon- Read by the Dey of Algiers, as the representative of the Terkhlt Sultan. - IlavinitTrranged their pine, the conspirators lost to time to putting them to execution. They set out that very hour, on the evening of the 3rd of Weber, for Lenjaron, with a body of four hundred troops — one- half being Turks, the other Morisooes. By midnight they embed their place of destination, Diego dlgusril and the Turkish captains were too well known so enjoying the confidence of Aben-Hurosya to meet with any opposition to their entrance into the town.

But little heed was given to his pongee tationa, as the conspirators dragged him into an adjobeing apartment. The unhappy young man perceived that his hour was come—that than was no one of all his hinds or meows to Interpose between him and his fate. Yrom that moment be changed his toss, and assumed a bearing more worthy of hie station. " They are mistaken," he said, " who suppose me to be • follower of the Prophet.

He then, with his own hands, coolly arranged around hie neck the cord with which be waa to be strangled, adjusted bin robe., and covering Ma face with his mantle, submitted himself, without a struggle, to hie executioners. Hie body was thrown into a neighbouring sower, with as little concern se if had been that of a dog.

SIR .1.4188 .P. RAY BHUTTLZWORTII O,N EDI:- CATIONAL raIONB. The annual soirée of the Literary Institute, at Whitworth, neer Rochdale, was held on Saturday, and was presided over by Sir JAMES P. KAT-8111erLEWORT11, Bart. The large room of the National School was well tilled, chiefly by_persons of the working-clem. Bir JAMES KAT•BIII:TTLEWORTH said, that beluga native of Rochdale, he had meet readily accepted the invitation to preside. From the age of 15 to 18 be worked regu larly in the Sunday-school at Bamford ; and it was the insight which he then had into the organisation of schools, and the knowledge of their necessities, which first Implanted in him the desire to see the education of the working people promoted. He then gave a variety of statistics relating to the Mechanic.' Institutions in Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire, similar to those contained in his speech at Keighley. In reference to the new government minute, authorising the establishment of evening schools in connexion with the day schools that were now under certifi cated masters, he urged upon his audience the necessity of taking the matter into their serious consideration. la rural end semi-rural districts the minute would produce very bens ficial results ; but, in large Marne, the new everting wheels would be found dangerous rivals of the existing evening classes connected with mechanic' institution'. Not only , would the meters ei the evening schools be certificated, tut the assistant serders would also be certificated; so that the machinery provided by the goverment would hereestefilcient. Although having no naceesary connexion with the question of government aid, ft was desirable to describe the efforts made to awaken a barge amount of sympathy for the pro ceedings of mechanics institutions , by means of unions. In addition to those in Lancaehire ' Yorkshire, and Cheshire, there were others in different parts of the country. Of their object' some were common to all, while others were peculiar to individual institutions. Of the former clam were—The Prize Scheme, conducted either by the Unione themselves, or by the Soddy of Arts, and the system of refreshing the libra ries of smaller institutions by circulating books throughout the Unions in boxes. In the East Lancashire Union (of which Sir Junes is president) a somewhat more complete machinery had been adopted. Liberal subscriptions were re ceived from the gentry scat chief capitalists of the district ; and liberal prizes were offered foe competition, the number of competitors at the last examination being 100. There was like wise a system of instruction that was entirely new. Two highly instructed itinerating masters were engsged,who spent five evenings in the week In instructing climes@ in succes sive institutions; delivering lectures on Saturday evenings at each Institution throughout the Union in succession. There was in addition • local master, well fitted by his own knowledge, and with the aid of the organising master in matter. of discipline, to give instruction. In addition to these there was a third officer, selected from those who had obtained prizes of a certain class, and called a candidate teacher. He was paid le. per evening for instruction ; and he himself received instruction from the organising master, similar to that given by masters of schools to pupil teachers. So that, besides any lowa teachers whom each institution might obtain, there were three masters provided by the anion. Incentives were al to offend to independent erudite ; and prizes were given to the best berbarisn and entomologist, for tbebest collection of &mile, cad for the best phyelcal map of the district. They were now oleo about to establish fern, libraties, the proprietors of estates providing the books and the tenants subscribing for periodicals, which would be taken weekly from farmhouse to farmhouse, lectures being de- hewed at the different plane by the organising masters on the desists of chentiery and other matters remits' to a knowledge of agriculture. The system which he had thus described as being fa operation in the Rest Lancashire Union was carried on with the knowledge and the aid of government, but he did not believe there was at present say disposition to extend that aid to other districts, nor did he know how long it would be continued to this. The government aid, however, formed no necessary eletseat of its noway though tap to this pried it had bean of great importance in its attainment. (Hear, hear.)

The prisoner, &driver belonging to the H Battery, Royal Artillery, named Henry Smith, quartered at the encampment on Wool wich-common, had been convicted by a board of officers of gross and insubordinate conduct, tending to subvert the dis cipline of the service, and was condemned to receive fifty Mabee, and to be imprisoned in Fort Clarence for the term of eighty-four days. It I. stated that he is one of those obsti nate ohs:octant on whom all other punishment short of the extreme severity resorted to yeetetday has failed to produce a profitable result.

THE EDUCATED mg'AT THE AMERICAN - c - Az , e - 8: The followin g OM was tried before 'jury at the Birmingham County Court on Saturday : The plaintiff wan Mr. Ri c h ar d Moffatt, equestrian. end the ddendent the Popular clown and proprietor of the American equestrian company Performing up to Saturday evening last in the Circus, mom -street it wee brought to recover damages for breach of con trod, 281. being the amount claimed. Mr.Rawkes was retained for the plaintiff ; end Mr. Eters, barrister, of the Midland Circuit instructed by Mr. Harding, appeared for the defendant, From the opening of the former teamed gmtlernin , t who would addremed the jury In a som ew h at tumorous vi ' seem that abortly before Christman last th e ain the proprietor of the well-know n " who is eccent i ne, who had elm two eons a n d a d en " and daughter in the some profeadon se himself, hearing that the defend ant, who chose to style himself Jim Myees, - Momus of the World "—(a laugh)— was shoat to open with his American equestrian troupe in the Moor -sleet Circus on boxing -night, wrote to the defendant from Belfast offering hie emee, and those of hie family, his mule, and • ring horse, if there wee a vacancy for them. In that letter he stated that the performances of himself and family consisted of "pantomime sole," "trick Rd', " double tight. rope demotes, and hats with the horizontal pole.

The t e t i tiff elm added, ' What the use of talent, horses, good woodcuts, and lithographs, if you cannot get paid fa; them P " One of the " challenges" referred to wee that the 1 mule, which was also included in the offer of engagement, could be backed for 601. to throw any one who attempted to get cable back. The defendant at length wrote, and agreed to give the plaintiff 71. a week, for himself, family, home, and mule 'abject to a fortnight's notice, which terms were ac cepted, Moffatt being duly announced to appear as "Don Juan," " The Fat Clown " and as the Meaner of the "eccentric mule." The bill stated that the proprietor had secured, "at an Immense expeme, what the Thus had de scribed se' the animal of wisdom—the educated mule, which no person had ever been able to ride." (Laughter.) So Mr. Moffatt and his troupe came over from Belfaat at an expense of 171., and joined the corps of the " Star Morons." He made Ms first appearance on the Monday ; the house was crowded with an enthusiastic audience, and " Don Juan " and the trained mule went through their performance to the delight of all. Several persons tried to ride the animal, but one after the other was pitched off hie back amidst the greatest merriment. The sense satisfactory result attended the day performance next day; but in the evening Jim Myers, who it must be admitted WIN perhaps, the most inimitable clown of the day, after several persona had been thrown by the mule, offered to give • sovereign to anyone who could ride him. The challenge was accepted by a butcher in the gallery., who entered the ring, and after three vain efforts succeeded, by dint of almost strangling the animal in holding him so tightly round the neck, in keeping on him during three rounds In the circle, and Myers had to forfeit a sore. reign. After this Mr. Myers did not appear to see much clevemess in the performance of Moffatt's troupe, and on the Saturday, when be paid the plaintiff, he deducted the sove reign he had forfeited, and gave him a formal intimation that his peewits' would no longer be required, stating that he had bean deceived by his representations se to what he could perform. Under these eirmumtanoes Mr. Hawke' sub mitted that the plaintiff was entitled to • verdict, unless it could be shown that his repreeentstions to the defendant were false or in the main untrue. After mentioning that Moffett held • high reputation in his profession, that he bad been engaged at Astley's, Madame Newsome's and other first-clam establishmenta, end poeseseed testimonials se to hie accomplishment., Mr.Hawkes proceeded to call evidence. The plaintiff, who wee first examined, substantiated the main facts stated by his advocate, and in crone-examination said ha did not hem any hissing during his performances, or theme die family, or his mule. He was only blued once, and that was became be had to follows performer who played a sailor, which was the character into which he changed from Don lean, and the audience did not care for the repetition. He made an engagement with Mr. Holder, of the Concert Hall, on the following Monday, not feeling disposed to remain idle and starve. Mr. Holder, he admitted, complained of the repo dendng of his son and daughter, but this arose par tially from tea slackness of the rope. Mr. Filet, an equestrian agent, Mr. Caahmore, formerly a musician at Newsome's, and Mr. Hermstone, manager at Newsome's, having been called to prove that the performances of the plaintiff and his family end the mule had always gone off anocessfully, and always "drew" well, Mr. Eters addressed the jury for the defendant, arguing as his chief ground that the defendant was justified in break ing the contract which was entered into upon a tissue of lois repreeentatices on the part of the plaintiff in his communion trona with the defendant. The specific misrepresentations upon which the learned counsel said he abould rely wore as to the " trick acts," the challenge referred to in the bill for warded to the defendant, and the allegation by inference that the plaintiff and hie family were provided with proper dresses. The defendant, In tact, was deprived by the misre presentations of the plaintiff, who was so inadequate to hie work that he was hired by the audience on more than one orceaton. Moreover as he was instructed, the plaintiff was discharged b y Mr. y Mr. Holder for similar reasons to those which actua the ant. — Mr. Myers was then called, and stated that he saw the plaintiff on the Sunday after ChristmesAsy, when he asked what he should do on the Monday, to which he (defendant) replied that he should like him to do as much as be could. Moffatt said his eons would perform on the pole, that one of them would ride a trick act, and he himself would " go in" as clown, with his mule, which three things would make a " hit." On the first night he had to complain of the dresses that Moffatt and his eons wore, and told them he must have them altered, as none of the members of his establishment were in the habit of wearing ouch drestea ;--.----. bat they were not changed on the following evening. The eon who wee to ride trick acts never turned a summersault on the home, as he (the defendant) understood he woe to do, and which ' was one of the principal things he engaged hint for. Moffatt told him that hie mule could not be ridden by anybody, and re peatedly persisted in the assertion. The first eight Moffett appeared he was hisaed, and he (Mr. Myer.) was so dia. guaiod that he went out to the front of the circus and would ass so more. If he hod not bad the bills out for the week he should not have allowed a repetition of his performances nor those of his family. None of them in his opinion pos sessed " a spark of talent." As regarded the mule, he (defendant) suggested to the plaintiff that he ought to offer a prize to any one wbo could ride him, and the plaintiff replied, "Yon can offer what you like, for I are sure nobodycan ride him." On the night when the butcher came forward there was genera hissing, because he and Moffatt interfered, and the butcher having been thrown three times, caught firmly hold of the reins, end held on three times round the ring. He (Mr. Myers) observed Moffett push the butcher off once, by a pro fessional trick, end then left the ring. He was obliged to continuo the mule nightly, because he was advertised, or else he should have had a disturbance in the circus. In croes-ersminstiou, Mr. Myers mid that in the bills for the following week the lines respecting Moffatt and his 0104 and family, were withdrawn; but by some oversight on the part of the newspapers they were adrertised during the next week, though he had the error corrected as soon as he disco vered It. Mr. Anzio], a circus clown, afterwards deposed to the mule having been ridden two or three times to his knowledge, and 0110411 by himself ; and subarquently Mr. Holder was called. He said he had occasion to complain of the tight rope dancing of the plaintiff's son and daughter; and that the pole performance did not give him satisfaction. The performances of the plaintiff and hie mule, however, were well received, and they were both called before the curtain each night. (Laughter.) Ile only engaged the troupe for a week. Mi. Hawkey having ably replied, His Honour laid the law and facts of the case 'acidly More the jury. After a short consultation The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages lit. Comte wire allowed, and payment was ordered in seven days. BILLS FOR RAILWAYS MID PUBLIC IMPROVE SZ/Clll.—Yeaterday the examiners, Kasen.

The prosecutor who hu been seriously ill ever since the oocurrence, was as sisted into court, and had to be sealed near the magistrate's clerk during the time she was giving her evidenoe. Her head and face were much dis figured 'from the prisoners' vioknce. The pressman stated that the prisoners entered her shop about nine o'clock in the evening, and asked to be supplied with a pennyworth of bread. After they had been served, Norton remarked that he believed she was a widow, end asked her to give him a gloss of water. Prosectian sent the abopboy for the ware, and on his returning with it, went into a room at the heck, karats the prisoners, as she supposed, in the shop. The prisoner., however followed her into the room, when Norton knocked her down with a violent blow between her eyes. As she was down, he was proceeding to strike her, the other prisoner (Herbert) calling out " Kill her, kill her !" She then succeeded in crawling under the table, when Norton dragged her out by her hair, and told her to give them all the money she hal. Preeecutrix gave him the contents of her pocket, coneisting of some silver and halfpence and also the key of a desk in the shop, which contained the money taken during the day. The prisoner Norton went Into the shop, and possessed himself of the money, among which were two five-shilling packages of halfpence the other pi ismer sanding over her and repeatedly threatening to kill her if she moved.
