LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN AND CHILI. Senor Rosales, the Chilian plenipotentiary at Paris, bas addressed a letter to the Journal des Debats in reply to the circular note of the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs upon the pending difficulty between Spain and Chili. The Chilian Minister contends with much uo force, su pporting his case by a variety of qtations, that the Chilian government was entitled, iu fact and in right, to consider Senor Tavira's letter of May 13 as being the true and complete expression of his instructions. From the moment when, in his letter of May 30, Senor Tavira declared himself satisfied pith the explanations given in the letter of the Chilian Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Illtli of May, the Chilian government bad the best founded and must legitimate reasons for considering the difference completely settled.

The Tiotes congratulates the country upon the fact that her Majesty not merely intends to open pails. i meet in person, but to resume her residence at Buckingham Palace, and, as fax as her strength allows, her rightful position as the head of British society. It will further devolve upon her Majesty to inform parliament of the in tended marriage of her third daughter to the seoood SOD of the personage who was some years ago induced to sur render his claims to the much vexed duchies. The intended bridegroom does not himself purpose to coltivatehis prispect,, in that dangerous direction, but is better content to repose in the stability of British institutions ..ad the generosity of the British people. It is a curious coincidence that three of our royal alliances should be so closely, yet so differently, associated with the spot which historians tell us is the cradle of the English race. It is hardly necessary to add that for the marriage settlement of the Princess Helena, as also for the establishment of Prince Alfred, now of Age, her Majesty will have to appeal to the liberality of her ' faithful Commons. • '• / i ‘ it Nara...... .1 Lberdeen .

This inveterate habit of hard hitting, even at an absent and merely historic party, irritates the nerves and shocks the decency of the newest school of Liberals—the fastidious eclectics, who used to be called " trimmers' when plain English was in fashion. For were not these historic Tories, and are not their descendants, Englishmen like our- Were not Purr and BURKE and WEL LINGTON Tories t We cannot say that the enume ration of illustrious names appears to add much force to the proposition, which for our part we are not concerned to deny, that Tories have always been at least as good Englishmen as Liberals. And so they are now, we say with all our hearts ; but we prefer Liberal politics for all that—the politics of a Pitt and of a Buitice, before the French Ile volution scared them into Toryism. And so long as the wheel shall be a more importan t part of the vehicle than the drag u p on the wheel, we shall not easily be persuaded that, of the two " forces," one is as advantageous to the State as the other.

The Times regrets that no second despatch from Gover nor Eyre, received by the last mail, has yet been published by the Colonial-office, u anything like trustworthy intelli gence must be dependent on official documents or the chance letters of respectable private persons. The Times has not thought it necessary or right to publish the glinted and incoherent accounts from the Jamaica papers that came to hand by the last mail, bearing as they did the marks of enormous exaggeration. Bat the proceedinp of the condo-martial, with the num ber of the prisoners tried, the sentences upon them, and the minutes of the evident* in the principal cases, it is de sirable to obtain as soon as poss ible. Mr. Eyre, General O'Connor, Brigadier Nelson, Colonel Hobts , , and the e officers, military and naval, who were engaged against negroes, or who sat on the ooartontartial have been de nounced in the plainest terms as murderers, sad they must suffer under the most intolerable of imputations, vela& it is shown that they honestly did their duty, and did not exceed it. The conviction of the Times is, that when the whole history is inquired into it will appear that there was good reason for believing that severity was necessary. The Daily News does not find that three who are loudest in deprecating censure of Governor Eyre and his colonels have anything to say about the illegal trial and execution of Mr. Gordon. While the evidence on which Mr. Gordon could be fatly convicted is wanting, facts which support and strengthen the presumption of his innocence pour in from every quarter. Considering the distant* of Jamaica, it is surprising to how many persons in this country he was per sonally known. The affecting letter to his wife, written in the hour which was all the interval allowed between the announosenent of his doom and his execution, speaks too well for itself, and has already spoken to millions of gene rous English hearts. A heavy res p o nsibility rests upon the imperial government, which, knowing the facts, leaves the administration of Jamaica for a day longer than is neces eery in the hands of men capable of perpetrating such deeds u the execution of Mr. Gordon. No more touching letter than Mr. Gordon's, says the Star, was ever written by man or woman on the verge of eternity. The mas's heart is laid bare to the scrutiny of the world, and not one of his relatives or friends need blush at the result of the examination. No one who reads the letter, who weighs its simple phrases. who studies its spirit, and tries to realise the posi tion of its writer at the time it was penned, can for one moment harbour the thought that he was privy to any act of violence at Morant Bay, or was the sort of man to coun tenance under any circumstances deeds of outrage and mur der. No man in England can escape the responsibility which is now imposed upon the entire nation, individually and collectively. The Globe remarks that what the Queen's government could not do in England the Queen's Governor could not do in Jamaica. There would be no safe living for English sub jects in say dependency of Great Britain if the broad shield of British law were not thrown over them wherever the British flag waves. The country will demand, and we cannot doubt the government will institute, strict and impartial inquiry—for what justifying domino, or under what sup. Need justifying circumstances, the late Mr. Gordon l and was taken from beneath that shield, and consigned for tria execution to men of the sword, heated with conflict or with chase, and—as far as their written words indicate — rather more capable of the " savage virtue of the chase" than of the calm temper of the judgment-seat.

In the neighbourhood o f Lewes, Canterbur7, Hemel Hempstead, Stafford, and York, the malady is reported to be on the increase. The accounts from Cam. Isridgmhire are very unfavourable. In the parish of Wil lingham alone upwards of 30.1 be of of stook have died or been slaughtered. l i omceo p a thic treatment, sanguinely panned here at the outbreak, has been discontinued, it having proved an entire failure. Some individual came mentioned by the journals are very distressing. Thus at Norwich during the week all the oows-15 in num ber— belonging to Mr. Thacker, dairyman, have been carried off. The poor man wee insured but not in sufficient time, mad no help, therefore, can be expected from the Cattle Plague Aaeociation. The cattle represented the whole of his life's savings.

For the defence, it was stated that the defendant bad never been paid for his ship, and therefore was des:rocs of resisting the action if the law were in his favour. It MS admitted that there was no evidence that be took any pad in the management of the ship or the appointment of cap. thin, or that he knew of the employment for which the mod was intended ; and that the act of a co-owner could not bind the defendant in such a matter without he bad • !i p ta knowledge.

(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT FROM THE GENERA:. STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. James Walker, a gentlemanly man, lots!, a confidential clerk in the service of the General Swam Navigation Com. pally, was brought before Alderman Wilson for further examination, upon the charg e of embezzling large sumo( money belonging to the company, the amount being ad. mated at over 2,0001. Mr. Cooper, the barrister, conducted the peceseutioop Ir. G. Lewis appeared for the defence. It will be remembered that on the last occasion it wee fazed that 4 thet,priag:gerherises Icimuly)loy.tiattoth tun e be:rd ti l et / i t: the peamingers to the different parts of the Contineot. For this purpose • large somber of tickets were furnished to the rimmer, and in three cases that were gone into on 'helmet occasion it was proved that he had received considerable 'urns of money which he had not accounted for. Mr. Salmon, one of the cashiers, was now aossexa an be miamt a t considerable length by Mr. Lewis, d admitted that the pawner bad accounted for the defalcations in his accounts by stating that be was overworked, and that he had lent money to differeat clerksin the office foe the nee of the company, to he had no intention to &frond the company of a farthing. Re also admitted that he had advised the prisoner to try and make good the mosey that be was deficient, sad ha mid that he would endeavour to do so. This witness observed that the defalcations were not discovered until the Bth at 9th of November, and after the disco v e r y the p risoner attended at the ke two or three times and signed the attendance-book. The defencethat wee set up for the prisoner was that he bad no intention to defraud the company, and that the prosecutors bad treated it as a mere question of account by "Testi" that be should make the money good. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOW-STREET. ATTEMPTED RIMER OF PRISONER, AND ASSAULT ON THE \ GAOLER OF THE COURT. Mary Anne Wilson, a prostitute, was brought bed. Mr. Flowers, charged with assaulting Theephilus Ralston, the gaoler of the court. Redetall stated that yesterday (Friday) ofternomi, whoa the van was waiting at the door to remove the remanded and committed prisonere k an shoat um precedenteti number of thieves and prostitutes am enabled in the street, and gathered round the vehicle, to witness the departure of the four moo, the M'Cormick, Southwell, and George, who had bees cams Dratted for trial for highway robbery. It soon became apparent that an attempt to emcee the prisocere oasis ma r temptation . An extra foroe of police was therefore 'Oboist _ at the entrance of the court. When the first of the foot 1 prisoners aboviementioued was (broughtt from the coat, 8 a rush was made as he passed the door to the VOL — 1, Witness and the policemen were so hustled by ~ 02 ; the mob that they hail di ffi culty in keerag .63 4 their feet, and only prevented the man WM 8 , 5 3 escaping by throwing him down on the slap Pi —I 1 the van.

It was not his fault nor the fault of himself , (Mr. Flowers), but the fault of the man himself (Mom) for committing the crime for which he was sent for trid. Probably the prisoner was some relation, or swthafe the wife of one of the men, and if so she might naturally feel pained at their pcmitioo, but they had on l y themselves to blame, and at all events justice must be enforced.
