SPAIN. THE INQUISITION. Some sensation has been caused at Madrid by M. tartinez de la Rosa, the Vice-President of the moil of State, having delivered a speech at the !neo Cientifico, in which he inveighed with much Inence against the Inquisition, still the theme of iration in clerical journals and amongst the lutist party. He could not, he said, conceive existence of the Inquisition on the Spanish soil, that the peninsula was being intersected with rays and covered with telegraphic wires. In the e speech, M. Martinez de la Rosa spoke of the !fish domination in the East Indies in terms lar to those lately employed by M. Montalembert. ROME. THZ MORTARA. CASE. 'he Giornale Officiate di Roma has the follow- The ntiver: , of October 21, publishes a long and learned le, by Father Gueranger, in which, apropos of an , which has led to much noise on the part of the lions press, it is demonstrated that naturalism has Aen possession of most minds. It shows that many :hristians, having lost the true spirit of the Church to ich they belong, manifest, on the contrary, great :ty, not for the sovereign domination of Christ, of on they are members by baptism, but for the authority the natural family; not for the rights of the Church, t for the Pagan prejudices of modern society, and those is of personal liberty which seem to them a conquest which everything else is to be sacrificed. They consent look upon faith and Christian practices only through perverted medium of naturalist prejudices. 'he Gazzetta del Popolo publishes a private letter, ig an account of the journey ot young Mortara Bologna to Rome, from which it appears that conversion to Christianity is not by any means so advanced as was pretended some time ago by an Itramontane paper. It is stated that the poor ld did nothing but cry all the way, and call for father and mother. The sergeant under whose large be was, having endeavoured to force a chaplet Ibis hands with a little cross at the end, the boy all he could to reject it, crying that be wanted name of God, such as it is worn by other Jewish Idren. The father, in one of the visits which he allowed to pay his son, told him of the hopes he that the Pope would relent and restore the boy his parents, at which the boy expressed the greatest The letter concludes with an account of the lourney of the father and mother to Rome, of the in. ides they were exnosed to in endeavouring to lain audiences, and of the calumnies which bad to studiously spread among the populace regarding !m, viz., that it was their intention to go and murder .4 own child ! in consequence of which their very Ives were in danger in passing through the streets of Alatri, whither the boy had been conveyed.

Sir William !eaves immediately. Should Ineral Walker or any filibusters attempt to land in icaragua, Admiral Kellett is instructed, upon appli ion of the existing Government of that republic, use his force against the filibusters. Doubtless there is an understanding between the Governments Nicaragua and Great Britain and Martinez would delay in makin g th e application, if he has not done so already." Another despatch of the same date, which corro borates the above view ot the course to be taken by - British naval forces, says The movements of seneral Walker are regarded with much interest, that in diplomatic circles, it being represented he is well supplied with both men and money his professedly peaceful enterprise." Mit. DALLAS. There were rumou rs at Washington that Mr. miliaa, the American Minister at the British Court, vould return home next spring. 1101 of rights, whether of property or person, arising between themselves shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Bri tish authorities ; if they commit any crime against the Japanese, they will be tried and punished by their own authorities, and vice versa Japanese subjects in the same predicament will be tried and punished by theirs : but, in either case, the British Consuls are to act in the first in stance as amicable arbitrators. In respect of debts con tracted on either side, the respective authorities will do their utmost to enforce recovery, but neither Government will be held responsible for the debts of its subjects. The Japanese Government will place no restrictions whatever upon the employ. ment by British subjects of Japanese in any lawful capacity. British subjects will be allowed the free exercise of their religion, and fur this purpose will have the right to erect suitable places of worship. Foreign and Japanese coin may be used indifferently for commercial purposes. Supplies for the British navy may be stored at certain specified ports free of duty. If British vessels are wrecked or stranded the Japanese authorities will render every assistance in their power. British merchants will be at liberty to hire Japanese pilots. Munitions of war are to be the only exceptions to articles of import and export, which last, on the payment of an ad valorem duty at the place of import, are to be subject to no further tax, excise, or transit duty. Stich articles may be re-exported without the payment of any additional duty. The Japanese are to prevent fraud or smuggling, and to receive the benefit of all penalties or confiscations. The treaty is written in English, Japanese ' and Dutch, the Dutch version to be considered the original. All official communications on the part of the British to the Japanese authorities shall, however, thenceforward be written in English, though for five years from the signature of the treaty, to facilitate the transaction of business, they are to be accompanied by a Dutch or Japanese version. The treaty may be revised on the application of either of the contracting parties, on giving one year's notice after the Ist of July, 1872. All the privileges, immunities, and advantages granted, or to be granted hereafter, by Japan to any other nation, are to be freely and equally participated by the British Government and its subjects. The treaty is to be ratified within a year from the day of its signature. Fur the regulation of trade the articles which are appended to the treaty are to be considered as forming a part of it, and as equally binding. The majority of these relate to the arrangements of the Japanese Custom-house, bat the more important contain the tariff of duties to be levied. In the first class, as free of duty, are specified gold and silver, coined or nncoined, wearing apparel in actual use, and household furniture and printed books not intended for sale, but the property of persons who come to reside in Japan. On the second class a duty of five percent. only will be levied, and this class comprises all articles used for the purpose of building, rigging, repairing, or fitting out ships, whaling gear of all kinds, salted provisions, bread and breadstuffs, living animals, coals, timber for building houses, rice, paddy, steam machinery, zinc, lead, tin, raw silk, cotton and woollen manufactured goods. A duty of thirty-five per cent. will, however, be levied on all intoxicating liquors ; and goods not included in any of the preceding classes will pay a duty of twenty per cent. Japanese products which are exported as cargo will pay an export duty of five per cent. The above are substantially all the material stipulations of this important document. SOUTH AMERICA. The Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro papers contain information relative to the affairs of Paraguay. The intended demonstration of the United States Govern ment against President Lopez, attracted much atten tion in Buenos Ayres, but hopes were entertained that the peace of the republic would be preserved, not withstanding its heavy money demands. INDIA. THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have advices from Bombay down to the 9th of October. The following is a summary of the intelligence : _____ OUDE. General Sir Hope Grant continues in the neigh bourhood of Sultanpore, detachments being occa sionally sent out to cut off such of the rebels as chance to appear in the neighbourhood. The district of Fyzabad is in a great measure tranquillized. There are still large masses of the enemy flitting about, but taking the greatest care to keep out of our way. The collection of the revenue has, all things considered, been wonderfully successful. Most of the village assessments still exist, and the people pay without grumbling or apparent difficulty. The well-behaved landholders are being restored to their estates, and the disloyal thus seeing their hopes at an end begin now for the first time fully to compre hend the very disastrous nature of the game they have been playing. Turning to the frontiers of Oude, we find on the 10th that Brigadier Douglas, in com• mand of the Arrab field force, encountered the rebels from Jugdespore, where there were said to be 15,000 at a place called Chandeea, and defeated them, destroying about a hundred, our casualties being nominal. A column which left Allahabad on the 22nd overtook and defeated the enemy the following day, destroying 500 of them. TANTIA TOPEE. Our wily foe, Tantia Topee, is still defying pursuit, and never risks defeat. He is said to have still 15,000 men with him. The Gwalior treasure and jewels in his hands are guarded by a regiment of rebel cavalry. He has still four of the Jalra Puttun guns, but these form all his train. THE COMET AGAIN. A correspondent says—On the 28th ult. we were startled by the appearance of a magnificent comet, which came on us unexpectedly and all at once. Thick clouds had obscured the firmament for some days before. It has been increasing in size ever since. It is the same as that observed by Donati in June. It blazed out on the 28th of September exactly as Mr. Hinds had predicted. It now sets about 7.20, or about 1.40 after the sun, an hour after it has been completely dark. Its tail is at present about 17 deg. in length, stretching away with a graceful bend to the north-east, at an angle of about 15 with the horizon. EXECUTION OF lEEE ANANUT ALLEE. A private letter from India states that Meer Amanut Alice, Subadar Major of the Grenadier Regiment Scindia's Contingent, who was elected, on the breaking out of the mutiny, General.in•Chiet' of the Gwalior Contingent, and who successfully drove back our troops under Windham, near Cawnpore, was captured and hanged very recently. Among the strange facts connected with this great mutiny it may be recorded that this leader was regarded for many years as a most devoted and trustworthy officer, a person singularly attached to the British Government and to the European officers under whom he served : yet he was the chosen chieftain of a fine body of troops whose defection was marked in the first instants by the massacre of officers, women, and children in the Moorar cantonments near Scindia's capital. THE TREATY WITH JAPAN. WE extract from the Times the more important stipulations of the treaty signed at Jeddo on the 26th of August This treaty, in the first place, engages that there shall be perpetual peace and friendship between her British Majesty and the Tycoon of Japan ; secondly, that her Majesty may appoint a diplomatic agent to reside at Jeddo and the Tycoon a diplomatic agent to reside in London, both of them respectively to have the right of travelling freely to any part of tho empire of Japan, and to any part of Great Britain ; also, either power may appoint consuls or consular agents at any or all the ports of the other. The ports of Hakodadi, Kanagawa, and Nagasaki, in Japan, are to be opened to British subjects on the Ist of July, 18.59. Nee•e-gate, or, if Nee•e•gata be unsuitable, another convenient port on the west coast of Nipon, is to be opened on the let of January, 1800; Hiogo on the Ist of Janaarv, 1883 ; and British subjects may permanently reside in all the foregoing ports, may lease ground, purchase or erect dwellings and warehouses, bat may not erect fortifications. Within a certain distance of the specified ports they she! be free to go where they please, or, speaking generally, they have a tether of some twenty to thirty miles around either of them. From the Ist of January, 1882, they will be allowed to reside at Jeddo, and from the Ist of January, 1883, at Osaca, for the purposes of trade. All questions Court oh lastion. HER MAJESTY, the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the junior branches of the Royal Family are at Windsor. HER MAJESTY will bold a Privy Council to-day, at Windsor Castle, at which Parliament will be further prorogued. THE Paptcz or Wxus attained his 17th year on Tuesday, and has been gazetted a colonel in: the army. PRINCE ALFRED arrived at Cornnna on the 2nd, at eleven a.m , on board the Spanish steamer Santa Teresa, which had been sent by the captain•general of the department. The prince was received on landing with the salutes and honours bestowed on an infanta of Spain. He visited the spot where the battle of Elvina was fought, and also the tomb cf General Moore. He afterwards partook of a collation at the captain-general's. At half•past four the prince returned to Ferrol on board the Santa Teresa. THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE AID THE PRINCESS MARY returned to their residence at Kew on Wed nesday from visiting her Majesty and the Prince Consort at Windsor Castle. THE Drum OF CAMBRIDGE returned to town on Wednesday from Windsor Castle. THE SONS OF QUEEN VICTORIA, observes the are treading exactly in the footsteps of the sons of George ITT. The Prince of Wales commanded a regiment of Hussars, the Duke of York took the chief administration of the army, and the Duke of Clarence became Lord High Admiral after actual service at sea. Her Majesty's own father was not only a soldier, but, as a general, commanded on foreign stations, and, in an earlier generation, a Dale of Cumberland was considered, with some reason, to be a meritorious general, th3ugh he was often an unsuccessful one. The reader will not be likely in any consideration of this subject to forget the remarkable celebrity acquired in a neighbouring State by the Prince de Joinville ; indeed, King Louis Philippe engrafted his children not only upon the two services, but their various arms, and selected
