Offices (pro tem)-4, East India-avenue, L eadenhall-street, London, E.C. PROSPECTUS. This-Company has been formed for the purpose of establish ing a powerful line•of steamers from London to the Cape, Algoa Bay, and Port Natal. The steamers are intended to sail once a'month, or oftener if required, from . .. London, and will call at a port in the Channel to embark passengers, calling also at Madeira and St: Helena, outwards, and homewards at Capetown, St. Helena, and Madeira, performing the voyage, it is expected, each way in 35 days, under steam. Favourable contracts have been provisionally entered into with good builders for the construction of the required steamers, as also with the managers and loading bioliers for conducting the business of the company. Special attention has been paid to the accommodation of pas sengers;•which will be replete in every respect, and a superior table provided. _ The Eastern Province of the Cape Colony has long expressed a wish thata good line of powerful steamers should be established to and from London, on which" they 'could rely for regularity, speed, and accommodation. The, following tabular statement of the export of wool alone to London from the Cape Colony will sliew the rapid stride in the commerce of the colony; and the opening for further• steam communication InlB34theCape Colony exported 694 bales Wool 1839 „ 3,247 PI 1844 „ 8,669 CP 1849 PP 13,765 If 1854 OP 27,626 ~ 1859 ~ 48206 ..._. ~ • 1864 2P 69;809 PP 1868 141;916 The above does not include exports from Natal. A large intercolonial trade is - carried on between Natal and the ports in the Cape Colony, which it is intended to take ad vantage of, besides the direct cargo for London. Promises of support have been given by shippers of wine from the Island of Madeira. It is expected that the recent discovery of diamonds in the colony will also add considerably to the usual passenger traffic, for which the steamers of this Company will be admirably con structed, and will add materially to the profits of this under taking. To facilitate this emigration, arrangements have been made with parties on the other side to convey diamond seekers to the diamond districts at a low rate, thus enabling the Company to issue through tickets. Owing also to the recent improvements in machinery for the saving in the consumption of fuel, a considerable reduction will be effected in the usual working expenses of steamers. 'Careful estimates have been made of the probable expenditure and earnings of the steamers, and from the large support that has been promised, both here and abroad, the directors confi dently anticipate that the shareholders will receive a handsome re.uneration for their investment. • The Union Company, whose steamers run from Southampton to the Cape, have paid good dividends, although they have had to pay the carriage or cargo to and from London to Southamp ton, which amount this Company will save. The Directors and their iii - ends have already agreed to take a large number of shares in this undertaking. No promotion money has been, or will be, paid for the forma tion of the Company. Applications for shares to be addressed in the accompanying form to the managers, N. Griffiths, Tate, and Co., 4, East India avenue, but no application will be considered unless a deposit of £2 for each share applied for shall have been previously made with the bankers of the Company.

THE EUROPEAN WAR The SUN is Published Every Morning at EIGIT r O'CLOCK, with SOMD HOURS' LATER NEWS than any other paper. This .edition will always contain the LATEST NEWS of the WAR, and of all other events. • I if)el 1. „.„ IHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1870, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1870, THE plot thickens; the Funds fall. For some weeks past we have been warning the public to expect that the war in Western Europe would lead to complications in Eastern Europe. Our readers have been told repeatedly that Russia has not been neutral for nothing ; but that she would expect to be well paid for allowing Prussia to work her will in France. The Times of Saturday publishes the following significant and conspicuous paragraph :—" Russia and the Treaty of 1856. According to a letter received from Berlin, dated the 9th of November, Prince GonT SCHAKOFF has addressed a circular to the Great Powers who were parties to the Treaty of 1856 respecting some of its provisions, which it is thought might now bo modified in The interests of Russia." In a word, Russia, warned by the fate - of France in 1860, is urging her claim before it is too late to enf,rce it. Accipe dreg dolor urget is always a wise motto. NAPOLEON 111. forgot it, or rather Prussia passed through her critical stage so quickly that there was no time to put the aphorism in practice, and so BISHARCK was enabled to keep his fee in his own 'pocket, and re tain Saarbriick for Prussia. But thanks to the obstinacy of M. FAVRE and his associates; thanks to their reiterated determination not to yield an inch of French territory nor a stone of French fortresses, Prince •GORTSCHAKOFF has had time to make his arrangements, and will be able to insist upon pay ment. That BISMARCK will lu Dour the bill, we have little doubt. nu re have already been many indications of it. During the last few days we have heard for the first time of unfriendly relations between Prussia and Austria. Austria, as one of the neutral Powers joined in the recent attempt to effect an armistice ; but Austria has been ru lely told that she, having armed at the beginning of the war, has little right to interfere in behalf of peace. From the very beginning -- of the campaign Prussia has been dili gently seeking cause of grievance against England, and it has been found in the export of arms to France, though the United States have been per mitted to do likewise without eliciting a word of com plaint. It would not suit BtErmaucx to quarrel with the United States. lie relies upon the existing differences between the two great Anglo-Saxon nations for the completion of his plans. The position is as follows. Fratice is of course out of the reckon. ing, for the Power which cannot avenge its murders( subjects in China, and whose capital is abo to - be reduced by starvation, cannot trouble tself about the entrance of Russian ships of war-- into the Black Sea.. - Austria, beset by Poissia on the one side, and Prussia on the other, and not yet recovered from the terrible blows of 1866, is too isolated and too :weak to make bead against her powerful neighbours. The Sardinia of 1856, become the Italy of 1870, has to settle her difficult business with the POPE, and it is not at. all probable that she will take up her sword for the Pro phet. Turkey herself, with Egypt,always ready to re volt, and Candia longing for union with Greece, cannot possibly hold her ground against the Giant of the North. Looking to the West, she'•finds the Anglo- French alliance dissolved, and England alone, of all the Powers that fought for her &keen years ago free to fight now. Is England free to fight? That:is a very doubtful question. With Ireland garriSoned by more than 20,000 troops, with the Russians: close upon her Indian frontier, with British North. America exposed throughout its whole length to invasion, with the Alabama quarrel purposely kept ppen by the other disputant, with merely a rudimentary army, with a fleet of ships that we cannot be sure will not turn :bottom upwards in the first gale—surely England is scarcely fit to make head against Russia alone, much less against the only too probable combination of Russia, Prussia, and the United States. More than that, if England were able to fight, would Englishmen consent that she should fight? That is another doubtful question., Constantineple is ►.ot like Antwerp, " a pistol held at the throat of England," and though we might have been prepared to take up arms for llelgium, it is quite another. matter taking up arms for Turkey, Moreover, we have got to' be rather ashamed ,of our old Mussulman enthusiasm. The Sultan's visit to infidel London three years ago did not impress us very favourably, and an English Ministry would find Englishmen very unwfillmr to spend another hundred millions in keep ing Russian iron-clads out of the Euxine. The feeling will rather be (if we alone are unable to keep the SULTAN safe on his throne, and the other signi taries.of the Treaty of 1850 are not disposed to help us) that we may as well Make the best of a bad job, and get some solid advantage out of the changes that are impending and inevitable. • SIR HENRY BULWER'S interesting life of Lord PALMERSTON suggests a very delicate question. How far may a statesman sink his pornonal convictions in order to co-operate with other statesmen ? Mani festly there ?rust he a certain amount of giving and taking if a . politician ever means to be a Minister. It is because Earl GREY, one of the ablest men of the time, will not give and take, that he has been excluded from every Cabinet of the last tctenty years. There must have been a good deal of giving and taking at WILLIS'S Roonis in June, 1859, when Palmerstonians, Peelites, Russellites, and, Radicals made up their quarrel, and formed that powerful combination which was terminated only by the death of their selected chief. But 'there are limits beyond which no politician can honourably or honestly go ; there are certain principles which he must deem of too much importance to -surrender, unless, indeed, he be a mere place 7 'hunter, and no statesman at all. Of late years the tendency has been to straiten these limits, to magnify the points of difference which cannot be yielded. It may seem anomalous to say that this fact arises from the closer approximation of parties. Yet this is true. Of old there were so many and such great questions on which me' differed toto ccelo that it often became necessary to surrender more than one of them, though one alone would suffice in our own time to divide politicians into hostile camps. When we find the nation convulsed and a general election taking place as to whether the Irish Church shall be disestablished or not, it is difficult' to imagine that for about a quarter of a century the admission of Roman Catholics into Parliament was an open ques tion, and that it was thought no improper thing for the same Cabinet to contain a CASTLEREAGH and a LIVERPOOL on the one side and a CANINNG and a PALMERSTON on the Other. Parlitunent was not scandalised, nor was the country, at the spectacle of the foremost opPOnents and the foremost advocates of Catholic emancipation speaking from the same Bench, and that the Treasury Bench. But, even making all due allowance for the difference of the times, we- 'must confess that Lord PA LMERSTON'S awn journal and letters do reveal an amount of inconsistency - which cannot be justified, even for that age, much more for this. This very question' of Catholic Emancipa tion for instance, was thought of so much importance by the Ministerial chiefs that they actually sent down candidates to Cambridge University to oppose the re-election of their own colleague. Fancy the scandal which such an incident would cause now. Fancy the indignation which would have been excited if" Lord CLARENDON had sent some one to Halifax to oppose Mr. STANSFELD, because the Secretary to the Treasury is a Mazzinian. What did PAIMERSTON do ? He simply wrote and told his colleagues that if defeated he would resign. Self respect, one 'might have thought, would have made him threaten' resignation at once unless the Minis terial opponent of a Minister were withdrawn. As it turned out, Lord PALMERSTON was successful; but he, a Minister, owed his election not to the supporters of the Ministry, but to the Whigs, a position which appears to us absolutely incom patible. with self-respect. But we need not be surprised at this revelation, when we find Lord PALmEnsToN writing to his brother concerning the Ministry as follows: • . "The- Catholic and Anti-Catholic war is carried on more vigorously than ever; and the. whole people are by the ears, like an undisciplined pack of hounds. It is most maryellous, to be sure, that sensible statesmen should be frightened by the bugbear of foreign interference clashing with domestic allegiance, and should see with calmness and apathy a civil war raging; throughout Ireland engross ing all the thoughts and passions of the people, divertinc , them from. the pursuits of: industry, and retarding the progress of national prosperity, and increasing, in the event of foreign - hostilities, inconveniences of the most forinidable • and embarrassing description. I ,can forgive old women like the CHANCELLOR (ELDON), spoonies like LIVERPOOL, ignoramuses like WESTMORELAND, Old stumped-up Tories like BATHURST, but how such a man as PEEL, liberal, enlightened, and fresh-minded, should run in such a pack, is hardly intelligible." Was there ever such a case of the beam in one's own eye being forgotten in the spectacle of the mote in one's brother's eye ! PALMERSTON not only dif fered utterly from his colleagues on a point of policy, which, as he declared, involved the very salvation of Ireland, !Mt also held the greater portion of them to be old women, spoonies, ignoramuses, and old stumped-up Tories, that is, he had the most supreme contempt for them. Yet, in despite of despising his colleagues and believing their policy the cause of civil war in Ireland, he continued to co-operate with them, and then to express his astonishment that PEEL could do so. When he left office at last, after twenty-one years' tenure of it, he left most un willingly: It was not till his friend Mr. llusKlssoN was unceremoniously driven out by the Mike of WELLINGTON that PALMERSTON, who had served. under Tory PORTLAND, Tory PERCIVAL, Tory LIVERPOOL, Liberal CANNING, milk-and water GODERICH, and Tory WELLINGTON, re signed. :lie did so 'at a good time. The Tory reign was nearly over; the Whigs were to be in power very shortly, and PALMERSTON was to come back to office as a Whig. This was by no means his last transformation. The concluding years of his life were spent as the Conservative leader of a Liberal Administration, the only leader who could persuade the Manchester party to accept China wars and home fortifications ; the only politician who, while chief of a Mii.istry Which had come in to pus a Reform Bill, could venture to tell his conitituents that hiS Cabinet; were not such geese as to propose, --that measure. This may be policy ; it is not Statesmanship ; and whatever Lord PAL3l,Eniscisinerits as a foreign diplomatist--and it is these which - have • endeared him to his biogra pher—it must be admitted that as 'a political leader ho did much to demoralise public men, and his career is to be read rather for the sake of warning than for the sake of , example. TOPICS OF THE DAY. ENGLISH ARMAMICNTS. It is known from official sources that Mr. Card well is engaged in devising a scheme of army reform, in order to, meet the demand for increased forces, which has'been re-echoed through the country since the opening of the German career of triumph. It is now announced that the War-office project com bines elhciencY with economy, and that it will ensure the great strengthening of the British forces, without adding seriously to the military estimates. If Mr- Cardwell can perform this great teat, his name as an army Minister will be made. He will ensure the rare distinction of pleasing both the army reforMers and the expense reducers. For it was by' no means certain that the loud outcry in tavOur of increased armaments would have come to anytl,44. 11Iany members ,of Parliament who have floated down with the stream of popular opinion during the recess would probably have reconsiders 1 their position when a large additional burden of taxation bad to be voted. THE TRRAT3t OF PARIS A :veryprevalent suspicion will be converted into something like a feeling of certainty by the following paragraph which appears in the_ Times According t a letter from Berlin, dated the oth of November, Prince Gortchakoff has addressed a Circular to the Great Powers who were parties to the Treaty of 185 G, respecting some of its provisions, which, it is thought, might now be modified in the interests of Russia." Most people thought that Russia would not fail to embrace the opportunity, and she has not failed, It is early to discuss the precise demands which Russia will probably make ; but those demands will cer.aiLly comprise a change in that article of the Treaty which excludes Russian armaments from the Black Sea. Sebastppol may not improbably rise from its ashes. The circular to the great Powers likewise gives sub Stance to the reports, reasonable enough in themselves, that Germany came to an understanding with .Russia on the ontbreak of the war. BA ZA I NE. Bazaine's reputation does not improve as his actions are. more clearly examined by military critics. It happened, fortunately for the interests of truth, that.the correspondent of the Manchester Guardian was shut up in Metz; and the evidence of this writer, - the only strictly impartial witness who has yet. turned up, is far from favourable. The military critic of the Saturday Review holds, indeed, that the correspondent's story conclusively condemns the general. • No sortie after September Ist shewed the least real design to break through the German lines. This is the testimony not only of - the imprisoned writer, but of the officers escaped into Belgium, and even of the contributors to the German press. There cannot be the least doubt, remarks the Saturday Review, that the political state of France, and the supposed prospect of an Imperialist restoration, were the key to this inaction. Bazaine could have got out to the last if he had chosen. The effort would have been costly, but it must have succeeded : "To suppose that the bulk of the men could not hav4 escaped by being massed before some portion of the twenty-five miles circuit held by the Germans, suffering much themselves, and not half again as many in number, and that having once cleared it, the troops of Bazaine, if distributed beforehand into separate columns un d er picked officers, to take different routes of flight, could not in great part have got clear off, is to suppose that all French men are mere poltroons, unworthy of the name of soldiers, and unfit to near uniform"' THE IMPERIAL PAMPHLETEER. It is rumoured that•the Emperor Napoleon has another 'pamphlet in the press, said to be written by himself, or at any rate by his direction, and under his immediate supervision. The relations between France and Prussia of late years will be set forth, with the view of demonstrating the good offices of the Emperor towards the Germans, and the ingrati tude with which he has been treated. It is thought, however, that the Imperial captive will deal very softly with the Germans, principally devoting himself to a vindication of his rule. It is to be hoped that this vindication will be more successful than his late disquisitions upon his military doings. THE ITALIAN CABINET AND THE PARLIAMENT, The report of the Italian Cabinet to Victor Emmanuel on the reasons for dissolving the Italian Parliament, and the policy which the Ministers pro pose to submit to the new Chambers, has just been published. The document says the Ministers think it necessary to dissolve Parliament because the occu pation of Rome has provoked questions as to the relations between Church and State, which can only be settled by a national legislature. Italy has abolished the temporal power of the Pope, which has been hitherto regarded as the indi spensable guarantee of his spiritual authority, and she is therefore bound to prove that the latter qan be freely exerted independently of the former. Count Cavour anticipated this necessity, and pro claimed the solution of a free Church in a free State. It is necessary, the document continues, to keep two objects in view, the maintenance of national unity and full restitution of freedom to the Roman people, and also the security of the requisite dignity and liberty to the supreme Ponta The first end must be secured by placing the Roman citizens on the same legal footing as the rest of Italian subjects; the second, by allowing the Catholic Church unfettered liberty. To avoid oven the suspicion of put ting a pressure on the head of the Catholic Church the Italian Government proposes to recognise the personal inviolability of the Pope, to invest his dwellings with the immunity of foreign embassies, and to' extend the same immunity to his chief dependents. The patrimony of the Church will be preserved intact, though the laws of mort main anti entails will be abolished, and the fresh transfer of the capital will be made the means of fulfilling many administrative, judicial and educa tional reforms. • POST OFFICE LETTER-CARRIERS. ,The recent manifesto of the Chief of the Postal Department has, it seems, not answered the purpose intended. The letter-carriers still complain of the inadequacy of their wages, and see their duties inces santly increasing. The public, too, which has an interest in the men being satisfied, has not been deceived by the official proclamation ; and it is ex tremely probable that the demands of the carriers, who are acknowledged to be deserving men as a body, will be acceded to in deference to popular opinion. It is suggested that the labours of the postmen would be less burdensome were vans used, as in Edinburgh, to tarry the men to their respective districts. This arrangement would also effect a considerable economy of time in the delivery of letters. THE NEW ZEALAND WAR MEDALS. An official order from the Admiralty notifies that all officers and men of the Royal Navy and Marines" who served during the disturbances in New Zealand in 1845, 1846, and 1847, and between the years 1860 and 1866, and to whom medals have not been given, can now apply for them at Whitehall. It is some satisfaction to know that the honourable decoratioq thus held out by the Admiralty will be given even to ship's boys .who can produce a certificate of their service on board any of the fol lowing vessels, while in New Zealand waters :—The Brisk, Castor, Calliope, Cordelia, Guava, Driver, Eclipse, Esk, Falcon, Hazard, Harrier, Inflexible, Iris, Miranda, North Star, Niger, Osprey, Pelorus, Racehorse, the East India Company's steamer El pl•instone, and the colonial steamer Victoria. It is, however, rather hard that the medal should be with- Held from the families of many brave seamen, who have died since January, 1869, the date when it was first intimated in the Gazette that the distinction of a New Zealand medal would be granted. if the Admiralty are tardy in recognising important services of sailors and marines far away from home—services rendered" even so far back as 1845—is that any reason why the families of men who fought gallantly for the navy, and for the country, should not rejoice in the possession otsuch a token ? AN IRISH CASE. A case of a somewhat singular character has been heard in the Court for Crown Cases Reserved at Dublin. The defendant, Michael Fox, had been convicted at the last Roscommon assizes of solicit ing one John Huey to murder one Thomas Kennedy, and the evidence was certainly very strong again.st him in a moral point of view, though as it happened hu eventually escaped on a legal technicali' y. Michael Fox was a tenant of Mr. Waithman, the High Sheriff, and owner of Carri geen, in the county of , Roscommon, and the Thomas Kennedy; whom it was sought to ".put out of the way," was his driver or bailiff. In 1808 a farm adjoining the prisoner's farm was vacant, and both Fox and Kennedy applied for it. The letter on which the prosecution was grounded was ad dressed to John lloey, at Collinstown County, Westmeath. Fox writes :—" There is a very nice spot of land joining me. I would get it only the driver that is over us, he will get it; if you would come or send some person that would put out of the way there is every opportunity. . . I would do it for you. Take the train from Athlone to Knock croghery, and I will meet you there and pay your expenses, and recompense you for your trouble." The letter was posted at the Post-office, Knockcroghery, and evidence was given that the letter and address were in the pri soner's handwriting, but it appears it fell into the hands of the police before reaching its destination. The point reserved for the consideration of the Crown Court was whether the letter, under such circumstances amounted to a solici tation to murder. The Court decided in favour of the prisoner . by a majority of six,, holding that the word "persuade " in the Act meant suc cessful persuasion, which had not been accomplished, the letter never reaching its destination. The minority held that Fox was guilty, having done all in his power. He will, however, be discharged. By a most singular chance, the letter addressed " Hoey " was delivered to a police-Constable named Foley. The confidence shewn by the writer in sending such a letter by the post is, however, significant of the security for such crimes in Ireland. A PIANO FOR SALE. We have at larious Vines noticed an advertise ment, first in tho Hull, teen in the Newcastle, and next in the Glasgow papers, relating to the sale of a piano. The announcement always sets forth that a lady, having to leave this or that town, is desirous of selling her piano. Then follows a description of the instrument, the selling price, and the original cost. The initial of the advertiser and thegeneral description of the piano, with the original value and present terms on which it will be disposedof, together with the reason for desiring to sell, are invariably the same. It seems odd that a great many ladies of the same name should be all leaving different towns at once, all desirious of parting with their instruments, all of which were of one original value, and all of which will be sold at the same figure. Second hand piano buying is well known to be a perilous business. At the Tuam Diocesan Synod, as well as that of Meath, it was determined to claim from the Government, under the Church Act, all the church buildings of the diocese, without an exception. Mr. Sturton Hargato Johnson, a young man of good family and position, was drowned in St. Clement's Bay, jersey, on Wednesday, by the upsetting of a sailing boat. • el" - ;,,fli W 4 k ,- --, -:t '4:i;; , . , 4;T:i444j - -4 v ir i t2s„ t 4. ~ (j i - 11l '-- (61 rat lia .- .!-?---,iza- HER MAJESTY.

GASTELAR'S SPEECH AGAINST THE DUO OF AOSTA. - - -- When the candidature of — the Duke of Aosta vi ne solemnly proposed to the Cortes by Marshal Pr ink i 3 O Castelar made a long and eloquent sp eec h d eno uncing t" policy of the Government, and opposing the candidature of the Duke in the strongest manner. Great interest iv° felt in this speech which had been ailtL el. pated with the keenest interest an d create d A a profound impression. Castelar co m pl a i ne d that tg e army had been told of the candidature a day before the Cortes, thus proving that the government attached more importance to the bayonets of the soldiers than to the. votes of the popular representati ves . Th e s ituation °I Spain 'might be graphically summed up as the substitution of the personal policy of the Preside° of the Council for the dynastic policy of Isabella 11. O le evil, would produce a host of other evils—at home chen l4 abroad war. Referring to his own gloomy anticipatio n. ' when previously addressing them, Castelar exclaime d ' " More than once I warned you that this mann er of seeking of foreign kings throughout the world, would produce some dreadful catastrophe. ! I my presentiment was tragic, still more trag ° , has been the reality. Wh en I h ear th e l amen t a tions °' widows and orphans, the fall of cram ling cities ; wh I see half a million corpses dep r i ve d o f se p u lt ur e, y ) spreading pestilence around; when I see Paris, the capital of the human race, threatened 9 ' 4 , Rome was by Alaric, I cannot un derstand Ministers of the Monarchy, why you have net, ' disappeared, crushed by the burden of y our remorse After, declaring that an elective monarchy lost even the traditionary advantages a an hereditary monarchy, th e orator made a severe attack upon General Prim. The ancient poets, he said, called Jupiter the father of V' and men ; modern historians might call General Prim the father of princes and kings. He held the Crown of Spai n in hiSr bands, and had offered it in turn to th e princes of th e h ouses o f F rance an d G ermany, and of the Machivellist and ambitious house of SavoY. Italy had twice refused to give Spain a king, for whe n France was strong she dared not. " You rely on diP l °' macy," continued the orator, "for the support of your monarchy. But the works of diplomacy ar e always fragile. Diplomacy organised the monarchial of all Europe at Vienna and Verona. W ll4 remains of that organisation ? The Bourbons of Frances of Naples, of Spain and Parma, the Archuukes of Tug' cany and Modena, the Bavarian dynasty of Greece, the Pope, the King of Hanover and the Elector of Hess e, all alike have disappeared, while in Ameried monarchical diplomacy sees with horror .a great country without kings. An illustrious prince of the House of Hapsburg seated himself on a throne raised hY European diplomacy by the side of the great American Republic, then engaged in a gigantic war. A wife of great heart and great intelligence accompanied hini• What a tragedy ! Shakspere has written non? parallel. In a few years that Emperor, pierce' to the heart by the balls of republicans, is a<. corpse, and that Empress, her heart pierced by bitter sorrows, is worse than a corpse, a maniac. You may shew your new king a great people to reign over, a great crown to wear, the palace at Madrid to live hit the throne of Ferdinand for his footstool; but amidst all these grandeurs he will see floating the two Imperial figures of Mexico, like those figures of Dante's Inferno pouring rivers of blood and tears, and teaching by their mournful example that the same causes produce the same effects. All the other can' didates have better ground than yours. Don Caring would be reaction and vengeance ; an absurd can' didate in our days, no doubt, but at least he would represent one idea, one class—the clergy Don Alfonso is not less absurd, but he would represent a tradition. The Duke of Montpensier would symbol's' the Monarchy, most abhorrent to Republicans, but he would represent in Spain, as his family did in France, the transition, from legitimacy to modern Monarchy, fro" the privileges of the aristocracy to those of the middle class. This is an idea which has immense force in the present day. Will you tell me what your candidate represents ? After an animated eulogium on Espartero, Caste lar proceeded to discuss General Prim, whose character was , he admitted, deserving of every respect, while his policy was open to criticism. Is General Prim, he asked, one of those great politicians who renew society by their faith in one idea? No. He is indifferent to all ideas alike. To be one of those statesmen like Cavour and Bismarck , who enlarge empires and aggrandise peoples? No. On two occasions he might have followed that policy, and those two occasions he has missed. His god is chance, his religion is fanaticism, his only support is the arinh his only faith is in force, his only ideal is a present c haos, and his only aspiration the advent of his party to power. Behold, senors, to what the throne of Ferdinand has been reduced in Spain." After discussing the rival principles of the . Latin and German races, Castelar declared that the House of Savoy could claim the sympathies of no party, because for the Liberals it was the gaoler of Mazzini and the scourge of Garibaldi, and for the Catholics the gaoler of the Pope and the scourge of Qatholicism. What were they to expect from their new King? In politics a restricted suffrage, privileged Chambers, a perse cuted press, in finance a paper money, disorder, perhaps bankruptcy. For national aggrandisement, his sister in Portugal as an obstacle to Iberian unity, and his father, a courtier.of England, as an obstacle to the re sumption of Gibraltar. The commission charged to offer him the Crown should warn him that he must not be sur prised by the reception that awaits him, for that on the Spanish soil the very stones of the road will on his passage cry out " Viva la Republica 1" SERIOUS RIOT IN CORK. CORK, SUNDAY NIGHT. A desperate riot, between soldiers and civilians, occurred here to-night, about nine o'clock. A body Of soldiers, 50 strong, from all the regiments in garrison, marched into the city to avenge the death of a private of the Ist Dragoons, who was fatally injured in a row with civilians last Sunday. TheY entered a public-house in Bridge-street, and commenced an indiscriminate attack on the people drinking there. A fierce fight ensued, and the civilians, assisted by the mob from the streets, put Ithe soldiers to flight. Shortly afterwards a second party of soldiers 40 strong, sallied out of barracks to assist their comrades, and came down King-street, shouting, breaking glass, and beat ing-ev eryone they met. They were arrested by the police under Sub-Inspector Egan, before they could come into collision with the civilians awaiting them in Bridge-street. and a worse riot than the first was thus prevented. On the way back to barrack the soldiers broke from the police several times to attack the civilians, and in the Military. road stones were thrown at both soldiers and policemen. The city is now tranquil. Many persons have been severely hurt on both sides. The Irish "national" papers express a confident hope that the "political prisoners will be permitted to enjoy a happy Christmas and a merry New Year, by" being released by Mr. Gladstone. The Manchester Courier states that one of the greatest Conservative gatherings ever held in that city is expected to take place on the 10th of next month. The occasion is a banquet which is to be given to Mr• Birley, THE SIIO 0 T ING CASE IN WA LES.—W illiani Powell, the sailor who was convicted of the manslaughter of Mary Rowlands, of Llandudno, has been committed, on the coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the next Carnarvon March Assizes.
