SPAIN. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. MADRID, FEBRUARY 26. The 'removal of the fourteen Councillors of Castile was not in consequence of the recommendation and ap proval of the Ministers, as I had supposed, but effanated directly from the King, without any previous commu nication at all with theM: no reason whatever was, or has been hitherto assigned, and at present the conjectute is, that it must have been at the instigation of someone constantly about the king. His Majesty has, in the lame manner, orderedthe dismissal of two of the prin. cipal Secretaries in the Minister of State's Office. Count Ofalta 'was thunderstruck when he received the mes sage, as it deprive. him of the means of getting on at all with the business of his.office, as the whole weight of it lay with the said Secretaries, who were the most com petent and efficient in the dis Charge of it. This conduct of the King is the universal theme of conversation. The 'officious person is supposed to he Ugarte, who has re! presented that the persons dismissed were Constitu tionalists in their hearts, with the mere outs and parade of Royalism : and this, probably, is the whole head anti front of their offending. It can hardly be.imagined that Ugarte is influenced by Russia now, for what has that Power to gain by it ? What possession, what commerce, what money in lieu of worn-out ships, what benefits in any shape has she to get by a predominance in the Coun cils of his Catholic Majesty ? And though her principal object may be the crippling of British ti ade, whenever it can he disguisedly done, the Gentlemen dismissed could tend hardly in any way or manner to promote it. • It can therefore only be accounted fhr by supposing that this man has now .become the tool of the Clergy, and that they are working their designs through him. We may expect some other changes, probably of importance. The "Junta de Aranceles (Committee for fixing the Duties of Foreign Trade), is decreed to be re-established —the tat iff will, therefore, be immediately revised, and the British manufacturer may be‘istepaied to hear that, his articles will receive the " highest consideration." :De Minister of Finance wishes to scrape together whatever is to be had, and as the wear of English manufactures is so univei sal, the higher the duty, so ranch the more he thinks to gain, without perhaps know ing or reflecting. that already nineteen parts out of twenty ate illicitly introduce', by reason of the very high duties, and to increase ,them will send the other twentieth to the smuggler also. The situation of Government is every day more em- • barrassing ; the French afford a hoop to the barrel,: utile' wise it w.n.lid instant;` fail to pieces. Them is no money anywhere—the more the Minister endeavours alter it, the less there appe.o sof it. I understand, at the Treasury the other day, a wag ati-ixed on the door, " No further payments will be made." The Curare Merino has dismissed his men, or rather has disn.issed himself from them, and takes leave in a ljng disconr:.e. I have not yet heard positively that any have been disarmed—the Government say they are; that tie person sent the order being but a youth, Karim %%mild not ca - edit his being inn u ted with it, upon which the young officer wrote to his father a long . story of the whole being a set of rebels, and which being glee 11 to the Minister of War, occasioned the ferment, PIIA the sending of the French troops, and that all is as it should I,:e. It is said that the B iron Ea oles is increasing his forces instead of sending theirs to the right about ; whether with the object at keeping dorm the Constitutionalists, who are extremely numerous in Barcelona and its neigh bourhood, or for the rut pose of ordering matters as they should be, we have yet to lea, n. EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER. • !gamins Fesscasr 26. • The military executive commission is Lard at work, and there is scarcely a day that it does not sit to try either individaals who have' been heard uttering ex pressions of discontent against the Government, or else persons accused of having stolen to the value of 34 ma ravectis (five sous)2ld. Two unfortunate devils, who had stolen some clothes,-are this day to suffer on thefgibbet, and ,a nrirrable woman who purloined a mortar is shortly to undergo the same fate. There are few that afprove of this extremely rigorous punishment ; but it is said, that midi examples are cecessary, for the misery is so great, that one could scarcely venture out at noon-day without running the risk of being robbed. A man has been taken up and put into prison for having said in public, that he himself had seen at Cadiz (from which he has just arrived) the English capture the Asia and the Achilles. At Uurgos a notary has been clapped into pt isou, on whom these was found sr copy of the amnesty, which, it is said, was about to he published, and copies of which had been circulated throughout the country. The police has taken the weatest pains to discover who were the persons that hut disttibuted this amnesty, but hitherto their efforts have been fruitless. TUE EVENING STAIt. LONDON.

M.P. charged with cruelly and wantonly beating his horses on the 2d inst. blr. Martin said that he saw the defendant on the day stated, near Craig's court, Charing-cross, most cruelly beating one of the horses he was driving, and that it was with the greatest difficulty he could hold the horse back.—Coacher, in defence, said that the horse he was driving on that day would scarcely bear so be touched with the whip, much more to be used in the manner described by Mr. Martin. Mr. /hies observed that he had great difficulty to find out what whipping a horse required ; but in this ease the coachman had most clearly proved that the bone required no whipping at all. To this the coachman replied, that he had duvet' the same pair of hoses nearly five mouths, and dm there was not a whip-mark to be found about them. Mr. Martin hoped that his Worship would mitigate the penalty to the lowest sum allowed by the Act of Parliament.

The prosecutrix s-(a very creditable Molting woman, seendarly •about 60 yrars of age) sated that she is the widow of a sea-Lring man, and slept at the Horse and 'Jockey, in Stantfotd, on Saturday night, the 9Sth of Fehruary, on her way to visit the relatioes of her deceased husband, at Newcastle. On Sunday morning she proceeded to -Casterton, and happening to reach that pliz - tr just as the bells were ringing for Church, she, I,,ing ihrt limn travelling, want into the Crown public house, by way of avoiding the persons who we; e go:1)g to attend the service. Sh e stopped half an hour, and had half a pint of beer. Soon after she had proceeded ots her way from Castrrton, she heard a great halliioing, and neeasiona! singing in a loud voice, which made Ia r rather suppose some insaut: person was on the. road ; she stain s,nr that the noise proceeded front the prisoner, who appeared at a gnte on the road-side, and coming up to ber, asked if she was going I .‘ Colsterworth : witness saw that he was in liquor, and therefore - and that she was not, but should soon - stop at a friend's house ; the.: said he hail got plenty of stoney; he offered h:r 6d. ; and asked if he should open the gate for her. She said, " My good man, keep your tisl. I tirs not want it ;",,upon which he put it into his pocket, and then forcibly took hold of her, at.d threw her upon a heap of stones, saying that he could do what he wanted the re as well as through the lore. The prosecutrix proceeded to stare ttt.o Ow had been the mother of pine children—and that the prisoner ac complished his base purpose, notwithstanding she made all the re sistance she could, by scratching him in the face till be pro fusely (the prisoner bore very visible signs of this resistance), and by screaming till she had not power to scream any lot% .r. The prisoner subsequently said, " Ton b--, how you've bled me !" Ile then asked her, would she go along? to which she said no, she would return to the village (Casterton) ; upon which he went on the road northward. Prosecutrix, in returning, met a man to sih ont she told what had happened, but be took no notice, and went on 'and joined the prisoner. She next saw a man named Cole, and complained to him ; he directed her to Tickercote, and she went there to the constable.—ln answer to a question by the Judge, site said the outrage was committed upon the great North Road, about twelve o'clock at noon on Sunday. ' The-prisonei, being called on for his defence, said merely," I am as innocent as the child unborn; she slipped on the stones, and I offered to pick her up." Being asked whether be had any witnesses to his character, he looked about the Court, and with his strong Irish pronunciation said to the Judge, " Examine any person yon please." Being told thtt he must name some persons, he called Thompson, publican, of Stamford, and other persons named Fernelli and Kelly. two latter appeared, but merely said they horst little of the prisoner—no harm of • r he appeared to get his HON; by selling oranges. The JUDGIC summed ap,when the Jury retired for a few minutes, and returned with a verdict of Gasify, but recommended the pri soner to mercy. The Junnsa--" On what grounds ?" Juryman.—" Ilis being in a state of intoxication at the time." Jutinx.—" I am afraid it would be most dangerous to consider intoxication as an excuse." Mr. Baron [lotuses then proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner, who fell on his knees at the bar in a state of distraction.

The answer of our Cabinet is said to have been, that the most proper mode %A mild be, to acknowledge the independence first, and that it would then be time enough to discuss the form of Govetrofient most congenial to the interests and happiness of the Gieeks. We trust the above report may he confirmed, and shall he glad to Wail the decision of !Ministers, as another concession to the spirit of the age, which does them so much credit.—British Press. The city of Lucerne has had the honour of adopting a very worthy act of toleration lately. This city is chiefly inhabited by Catholics, who have the exclusive right of Chiiitian burial, the Protestants-there not being allowed to exercise it. Certain Catholics, conceiving this not to be consistent with the spirit of Chnstian tole t ation, resolved to put an end to it and the members tf the Luc •rne Government approved of the resolution. Do It I NG ROBP ERY AND A SSA I:LT.—A daring robbery, attended with circumstances of uncommon'atrocity, was committed on Monday night st the Newton turnpike-house, near Wakefield. Edward 104, the bar-keeper, had retired to rest, and his wife was preparing to do the same shortly after the Mail had -passed, when there was a knocking at the door ; she went to open it, and four men then rushed in, locking the door after then) ; suspecting their design, she cried out for help to her husband, who. rose up in his bed, whence be was Instantly dragged into the middle of the floor, and trampled upon and kicked with the most ferocious barbarity : his wife . No was knocked down, but saved herself from further ill treatment by declaring where their property was deposited : the villains then proceeded to secure it, and to pillage the house. Th:s happened about half-past nine, and soon after, a person on the road, who had heard the woman'i screams at a distance, came up to the door of the house, and asked what was the matter, and if they were committing murder? On this the roffi•tns came out, and walked leistrrely away towards Wakefield, by the St. John's-road; the alarm was now given ' and they were pursued, but unfortunately without success.- Mr. florsfall, a surgeon of Wakefield, who visited the poor man and his wife, reports the injuries received by the wo man to be trifling, but those of the man such as to render his case dangerous.
