TO CORRESPONDENTS. It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive . Their insertion is often delayed, owing to a press of matter ; and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde pendent of the merits of tho communication. We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do not avail ourselves. Ccnimunications should always be legibly written, and on one side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of finding space for them. Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith. Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by a remittance or a reference for payment in town. - 7it 21;)ritgigi+ LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1854. POSTSCRIPT. THE SPANISH REVOLUTION. Intelligence of the farther progress of the insur. rection in Spain has arrived via Paris. On the 18th the movement party were in full possession of Madrid. At two o'clock in the morning of that day there was, engagement between the Royalist, and Constitution alists, in which the former acted most vigorously. Barricades have been raised in several parts of the city. Next day (the 19th) we learn that the palace of Queen Chr►stina at Sallamunda, near Granada, had been sacked by the populace. It was reported also that a battle had been fought between O'Donnell and Blazer, in which the latter was defeated, wounded, and made prisoner. Narvaez has, it is stated, offered to assist the Queen in her extremity by aiding in the formation of a new Government. The names of prospective ministers appear in a list published by the Madrid Gazette of the 18th, but the marshal's name is not amongst them. Of the six names given three are Moderates : Duke Rivas, President and Marine ; Mayans, Foreign Affairs; Rios Rosas, Interior. Three are Progressistas —Lacerna, Justice; Entero, Finances; Roda, Public Works. General Garigo commands the cavalry at Madrid.' The whole of Catalonia has risen. The Captain- General leads the movement. There has been fight ing on different points. Valladolid has pronounced. The Captain-General and Governor have been made prisoners. Espartero has left Logrono for Saragossa, to join the movement. General Zabala will join him at Tolosa. The reply of the Emperor of Russia to the Austrian note reached Baron de Bruck in Constantinople on the Bth, and that minister at once communicated it to the Divan, and to the ambassadors of the allied powers. In consequence of this communication the Ottoman Cabinet met and held two councils on the 9th. The next morning an aide-de camp from the Minister of War was despatched to Varna, and another to Schumla, with despatches for Marshal de St. Arnaud and Omer Pacha. The object of these despatches was, it is said, to inform these generals of the resolutions come to by the Ministry, and to re commend them to advance. Two more fires have occurred in or near the Turkish capital. On the Bth the Khan called Kurkgi, containing 325 magazines or depats of drugs and furs, was completely destroyed. The loss of merchandise is calculated at more than '200,000/. On the 10th a fire broke out at Kandelly, a beautiful village up the Bosphorus, and thirteen country houses were consumed. The marriage of the daughter of the Sultan to the son of Redschid Packs. was fixed for the 17th inst. It was not to be celebrated with the usual pomp, on account of the present circumstances. Some fetes would, however, it was expected, take place. A portion of Montenegro has revolted. Prince Danilo marched with 6,000 men against the insur gents, who have appealed for protection to Turkey. The Copirle Zeitung's Co►respondence says :—" The repre sentative members of the Vienna Conference held a private consultation on Saturday, on the subject of the Russian proposals in answer to the Austro-Prussian summonses. On this occasion the general conviction was arrived at that THE PRESS. Prussia, as well as Austria, hold fast to the opinion that the evacuation of the Danubian principalities to the only act which could safely furnish the basis for future peace nego tiations. The representatives of England and France are said to have expressed themselves in favour of the uncondi tional acquiescence in the demands of Austria and Prussia." Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, annnounce the death, from cholera, at Peterboff, of Count Daschkoff Woronzoff, formerly Russian Ambassador at Munich, Stuttgard, and Turin. A most disastrous flood occurred at Hobart Town on the 22d March, attended with considerable damage to the town and buildings on the river and loss of life. The injury done to the shipping in harbour and property on shore is stated to be immense. We regret to announce the death of Lord Langford, which occurred on Wednesday last at Castletown, the seat of Colonel Conolly, in the county of Dublin. About seven months ago his wife, Lady Langford, was drowned whilst bathing, leaving six young children. His lordship never entirely recovered his spirits after that sad catastrophe. He was only a few days ill. THE NEW DRESS FOR THE ARMY.—Tt is said that thenew dress for the infantry of the line has been at last finally determined on. We are told that the present cap will be replaced by a shako, very light in regard to weight, soldier like and graceful in appearance, not unlike the cap of years back. The small ball, the substitute for the feather, will be retained, and the number will be conspicuously displayed. In the officers' uniforms the coat will be in the shape of a tunic or frock, scarlet in colour, and double-breasted, with the facings of the regiment. The collar will be low and open, with embroidered gold lace in heraldic crowns and stars, showing the rank of the officer. The shoulder-belt and breast-plate will be discontinued. In lieu thereof there will be a white patent leather waist belt, with gilt ornaments in front. Epaulettes and sash will be abolished. The black trousers will be continued for the winter, and bluish texture for the summer. The Guards, so long free from innovation, will, it is stated, soon undergo a change in uniform. The cavalry uniform patterns have not yet been sealed. It is supposed the change in the latter will be on a limited scale. The law business last year, as set forth in returns to Parliament, comprised 74 , 514 actions brought in the common law courts, and 484,946 plaints entered in the county courts. HOUSE OF LORDS.-ERIDAY. - - The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table a I bill to repeal the usury laws. The Earl of HARRINGTON inquired if instructions had been given to our ambassador at Vienna to state to the Emperor that Polish subjects would not be allowed to enter the service of the allied powers ? The Earl of ABERDEEN replied that no such in structions had been issued to Lord Westmoreland. The Earl of ABERDEEN then brought up a gracious message from her Majesty, to the same purport as that brought up in the Commons. The message was ordered to be taken into consi deration on Monday next. After disposing of the remaining business, the house adjourned at a quarter to seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. The house sat at one o'clock, and passed several unopposed bills through a stage of progress. On resuming at six o'clock, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up a message from her Majesty, requesting her faithful Commons to make provision for the necessities of the war with Russia. Mr. Gladstone said that the message would be taken into consideration on Mon day next in committee of supply. Mr. DISRAELI would give every assistance to her Majesty in carrying on the war; but he trusted that in the present state of public affairs the Ministry would give their assurance that there would be an autumnal session, and that the house would be called together before the end of the year. The house then proceeded to the consideration of the Bribery Bill as amended. After some conversation on the inconvenience of discussing numerous clauses out of committee, the bill was recommitted. A division took place on an addition to clause 10, proposed by Sir F. Kelly, having for its object the suppression of music, flags, and chairing at elections. For, 100 ; against, 57-49. Sir F. KELLY afterwards proposed to modify clause 15, so as to provide that payments made bond fide for registration expenses or charitable purposes should not be included within the definition of corrupt ex• penditure as laid down in the bill. After a prolonged discussion the committee di vided :—For the amended proviso, 234; against, 16 —2lB. SATURDAY, The omission of clause 31, the " declaration" tlause, was moved by Mr. V. SMITH. On a division here appeared :—For the clause, 128 ; against, 120 —B. The chairman having been ordered to report pro. gress, a long and warm debate ensued upon a pro position by Lord J. Russell that the bill should be proceeded with at the noon sitting to-day. Lord GALWAY moved an amendment postponing the further progress of the bill until Monday. This amendment was pressed to a division, but was negatived by a majority of 144 to 64-80. After more discussion and another division the committee was ordered to stand for twelve to-day. attitsiastital. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. The Rev.
