IT is so long since we heard anything good from Spain, and the symptoms of more evil have recently been so alarming, that the latest gloomy tidings can give rise to no surprise. The Montpensier duel has been followed by another event, less tragic, but far more important. The long threatened breach between the two parties that brought about the Revolution has at length taken place. The Unionists, or Conservatives, who are led by Serrano, and the Progressists, or Liberals, who are led by Prim, have been quarrelling over the spoil ever since it fell into their hands. They allied to expel the discreditable occupant of the now vacant Throne, simply because such a feat could not be accomplished without unity ; but their co-operation was no more hearty, nor any more likely to endure, than the alliance between the fol lowers of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli against the refractory Irish members. The question of a successor to Isabella produced differences between the two parties which have never been healed. The Ministry has several times undergone reconstruc tion. The latest intrigues led to the forma tion of a Cabinet composed almost en tirely of Progressists, with Prim as Prime Minister; but Marshal Serrano holds the Regency, and thus serves as a counterpoise against the superior strength of the hostile faction. The animosity be tween the two parties became during the last few weeks less violent in appearance. Some delusive signs of reconciliation shewed them selves. But well-informed observers at Madrid saw through the film of official decorum, and some hardily prognosticated a speedy outbreak of civil war. The open declaration of difference, whether it amount to civil war or not, has come already. Like many other great political quarrels, the rupture is owing to a comparatively minor question. The Government—which, as we have said, is composed almost wholly of Progressists—has just laid before the Cortes a bill for that inevitable Spanish nostrum, a new loan. The Unionists, though one of their leading members sits in the Cabinet, moved an amendment to this measure. Marshal Prim interpreted this hostility as a Cabinet question, and asked the Radicals to assist him, remarking, "Since the Liberal Unionists give us battle, let us defend ourselves." Admiral Topete, the only Unionist in the Cabinet, " ostentatiously " left the Ministerial Bench ; the Radicals came to the rescue of the Progressists, and the Cabinet was saved by the narrow majority of 123 against 117. The figures shew how serious is the crisis, for the Pro gressists and Unionists number between them four fifths of the entire Chamber. It is much feared that the resignation of Serrano will be the issue of this very grave event. Such a result is by no means im probable : the combinations of political parties Are. however, always hazardous subjects of speculation, and nowhere more so than in Spain. But the disaster does, undoubtedly, prove that the coMbina . - tion between the Unionibts and Progressists was of the hollowest kind, adopted in the first instance only to gain an end. which each party equally and justly desired, and preserved afterwards only through fear of such assailants as Republicans a-.d Carlists. There can be no hope of a lasting alliance such as would secure Spain a Government strong - enough to defend itself from its many enemies. Whatever may be the immediate conse quences of this schism, the. rivalry must leave the future of the country a most gloomy and doubtful problem. THE distinguished member of Parliament who unhappily found cause to spend the whole of last session at a distance from the scene of his official duties has been the subject of further strong censure in a court of justice. A little while ago certain proceedings with which Mr. Harvey Lewis, &[.P., was intimately connected, were stig matised as "false, fictitious, and fraudulent;" fur ther proceedings in which the same gentleman prominently figured are regarded by Vice- Chancellor Malins as "disgraceful." The Im perial Land Company of Marseilles was started some years ago when the finance companies were in their brief but busy prime, and was floated by one of the most distinguished unfortunates of that /lass—the Cr6dit Foncier. Needless to say that the Land Company is now in liquidation. Poor as the Credit Fonolex now itt. it reaped a tolerably fair harvest from the Land Company, for some £300,000 is said to have been paid by the latter as commission for " floating," out of a total of £050,006 expended for similar purposes, the entire capital of the Land Company being a little over three millions. Amongst minor payments— mere trifles and scarcely worth mentioning—was a bonus of £5,000 to the National Bank for permis sion to open an account. The suit before the Vice Chancellor was an application by the liquidators of the Land Company to compel the National Bank to refund this £5OOO. That the transaction was "disgraceful," tie Chancery Judge established by a very plain dilemma. If the Land Company were a solvent concern, the Bank ought not to require any bonus for opening an account, simply because all banks were anxious to get sound custom. If the Land Company was not solvent or safe, the £5OOO ought not to have induced the directors to deal with it. After recent experience the public will readily anticipate another fact, which remains to be stated. Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., Mr. Henshaw, and Sir J. M'Kenna were directors both of the Land Company and the National Bank, while three other directors of the company were also on the board of the Credit Foncier. Thus, the gentlemen who had to decide upon the spending of the money, and those who had to deter mine the receiving of it, were one and the same ; and the game amounted to another of those see saw transactions which seem to have been so numerous in connection with the National Bank. The Vice-Chancellor ordered the £5,000 bonus to be refunded. Mr. Harvey Lewis has likewise another excellent opportunity of refunding to the electors of Marylebone the trust which they re posed in him, but which they have since re-demanded in vain. When Mr. Lewis spent last session abroad it was to no purpose that his con stituents appealed to him to give up the post which he could not—at least, did not—fill. He would, he said, clear himself from the "false, fictitious, and fraudulent" verdict, and be punctually in his place next session. We do not profess to settle the exact interpretation which is due to the Vice- Chancellor's stinging phrase. That Mr. Lewis must decide. But the Vice-Chancellor has not yet had cause to with draw the words; on the contrary, the embellishment of " disgraceful" has just been added. Will Mr. Harvey Lewis either produce the long promised explanation or meet the oft-expressed wishes of his constituents ? THE MISSING NEW ZEALAND STEAMSHIP MATOAKA. The following is a correct list of the passengers who embarked on board the above vessel in New Zealand for the passage to London.

The Queen arrived in London about noon to-day from Windsor, and proceeded to Buckingham Palace, where her Majesty will remain, with Princesses Louise and Beatrice, until Friday, when the Queen is expected to proceed to Claremont. The Speaker's Dinner and Levee on Wednesday, Mai ch 23, is unavoidably postponed. The venerable Earl of Roden died on Sunday at Edinburgh, in his 82d year. The death is announced this morning of Lady Caroline Baillie-Hamilton, daughter of the fourth Earl of Abingdon. _ _ The limes of India refers to a report in Bombay that 10,000 persons out of a population of 50 : 000 have died of a virulent plague in Zanzibar. The pruning knife" is finding its way to the Board of Trade, five of the clerks—viz., one assistant to secretary, two seniors, and two supplemental clerks—having received an intimation that they are to be superannuated. _ _ _ • ---- • - The new club, established in Grafton-street, Pic cadilly, for noblemen and gentlemen who are or have been members of a university, or are members of a recognised learned society, will be opened next Monday. For the first two hundred members the entrance fee is to be five guineas, beyond that number the fee will be trebled. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S BANKRUPTCY.--The court has fixed Wednesday, the 11th of May next, for the last examination and order of discharge, sitting to be held before the Chief Judge under the bankruptcy of the Duke of Newcastle. THE CITY OF BOSTON.—Messrs. Inman have as yet heard nothing of the City of Boston, nor has any telegram been received from the Cruiser steam -tug at Cro ikhaveu. The Limerick and Clare Farmers' Club has passed resolutions condemning the Land Bill as insufficient, and declaring that, if fixity of tenure is not guaranteed, "no alternative will be loft" but to agitate for the repeal of the Union. THE WELSH CHURCH.-111 view of the attack upon the National Church in Wales, the National Association for Freedom of Worship has issued a spirited address to the Welsh people (printed in both Welsh and English), remind ing thorn that for fifteen hundred years, until a very late period, they had a free national Church, thatis, parish churches free and open to all, rich and poor alike, and calling upon them,to resist the attempt to make their Church into (what it sadly is too much, in fact), a mere pewed Episcopal English sect; and the address urges upon the parishioners, at the approaching Easter vestries, to demand at least two free Welsh services—say at 9 a.m. and at 7 p.m. The Australian papers received to-day announce the death of Mr. Edward Denison, M.P. for Newark. which took place in Melbourne on the 26th of January, He went out for the benefit of his health. Mr. Denison at the time of is death was only 29 years of age. He was the only son of the late Bishop of Salisbury by that prelate's first marriage. He was a Liberal, and had sat for Newark since December 1868. . LETTER FROM LORD NELSON.—A n hitherto unpublished letter of Lord Nelson appears in Notes and Queries. It was addressed to Perry, the editor -of- the Morning Chronicle, on the deatb. of Sir William Hamilton :—" My dear Mr. Perry,—Our Dear Sir William left this world at 10 minutes past ten this morning in Lady Hamilton's and my arms, her attentions to him to the last, & altogether for near twelve years have been such as to call forth all our admiration of this Excellent Woman—As I should wish neither to have too much nor too little said in your paper on this occasion, I entreat that I may see you as soolV as possible in Piccadilly, and you will truly oblige, NELB BRONTE. —D. o'clock, April 6, 1803." The motion of Mr. - Derinty C. Robinson on the subject . of the local government of the metropolis is likely to give rise to a considerable amount of opposition. Mr. Robinson proposes that, in order to secure efficient muni cipal' government for the metropolis, the best plan would be to extend the present jurisdiction and powers of the corporation of the City of London over the whole metro politan area. To this Mr. Henry Gower has given notice of amendment, disapproving. of this principle, and approv ing of the creation of municipalities in the various metro politan boroughs outside the City of London, with joint committees for the management of affairs between the the court and the other bodies interested. There - is now no *lidpe - of'any more lives htiving been saved from the Normandy. Another passenger lost wa3 Mr. John, the son of Captain John Grut, of Guernsey. The depth of water in which the unfortunate vessel went down—about twenty-eight fathoms—renders it impos sible for any diver to go down to recover the specie and bonds from the mail rooms ; therefore it will prove a total loss to the underwriters. On the Ist or April next, and thenceforward, registered newspapers for all places abroad, without dis tinction, will be chargeable according to weight, and each newspaper, whether sent singly or in a packet containing more than one, will be liable to a separate rate of postage for every four ounces or fraction of four ounces. AUSTRALIAN Al EAT. —A most nutritious, excellent, and delicious article of food, suitable for all cllsses alike, is now being imported into this country by Messrs. W. J. Coleman and Co., 13, St. Mary-at-Hill, Eastcheap. It is Australian COOKED MEAT IN TINS, of the finest quality; and not having been salted, or subjected to any chemical process of preserving, it possesses the flavour and taste of the best kinds cf fresh meat. Whether eaten hot or cold it is equally good, and as it can be purchased at a con siderably less price than butchers' meat it cannot fail to become in great demand, to which it is justly entitled. w 4 Z, DA- 4 z . v - ig-)- (titular lIER MAJESTY.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) FRANCE. PARIS, March 22. The Emperor has addressed the folloWing letter to M. 011ivier :—" I think it opportune under present circumstances to adopt all reforms required by the Constitutional Government of the Empire, in order to put an end to the immediate desires for a change which prevails in certain minds, and not to please pubic opinion unsettled by creating instability. The first place, I accord 'to those reforms which refer to the Constitution and the prerogatives of the Senate. The Constitution of 1852 had, above all things, to provide the Government with the means of ertablishing authority and order, but it remained to be perfected. As long as that constitution existed the country could not have al lowed the establishment of public liberties on solid bases. At the present time when successive changes have gradually created a constitutional regime in harmony with the bases laid down in the plebiscite, it is important to replace in the domain of law all that more especially has reference to the pre servation of legislative order, impress a definite character upon the latest reforms, to place the constitution above all controversy, and to call upon the Senate, that grand Body which contains so many brilliant men, to lend to the new regime their most efficacious concurrence. I there fore request you to come to an understanding with your colleagues, and lay before me the draft of a Senatus Consultum, which shall firmly fix the funda mental di-positions deriving from the plebiscite of 1852, and which shall divide the Legislative Power between the two Chambers and restore to the nation that portion of constituent power it had delegated to me."

The expression of feeling on the part of the Irish press on the subject of the Peace Preservation Bill is naturally an important and instructive topic. The Times' correspondent says the bill engrosses attention in Dublin to the exclusion of all other political subjects. The Land Bill even is put aside from men's minds for the time. The amount of hostility provoked by ilia idea of coercion is not so great as might be supposed, and most people acknow ledge the necessity for sp - cial legislation. The Freeman, belonging to another section of the press, protests against the attack on the liberty. of the press, and suggests as a means of repressing agrarian crime the suspension, not of the Habeas Corpus Act, but of the correspondents of the London prone. There are two papers in Ireland, the _Lublin _Evening Pest and the Dwiy I:rpm's, that look upon the Coercion Bill as not sufficiently stringent. They sorrowfully admit the necessity for such a legislation for their misguided countrymen. - TIIE IRISII LAND BILL. What a convulsion of feeling might run through the kingdom if a little clause of nine words were added to the Irish Land Bill, "This bill shall also apply to England and Scotland." It is not at all likely to be added, how ever ; but the idea has been started, and the Sheffield Telegraph had an article expressing a hope that such a plan might be ca r ri e d ou t. On the strength of these comments, an M.P. has issued a circular, in which he declares that the policy of inter ference in contracts, and the attacks on legitimate rights of property contained in the bill, form a sub ject for serious reflection to all owners of property in England and Scotland. A paper has already sought to extend this policy to the two latter parts of the king dom. The security of the rights of property is not a party question, and the conduct of Parliament in dealing in committee with the provisions of the bill, by which the rights of property are seriously endan gered, ought to be materially influenced by the existence of this notion which may soon spread over the country. BISHOPS' AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND BILL. A Cork paper publishes a list of amendments to the Irish Land Bill, which it says emanate from the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops now at Rome. It comprises four propositions. First, the Legislature is to legalise the right of the tenant to improve his holding and continue in occu pation, unless cause to the contrary be sbewn in the Land Court. Secondly, he is to have a right of appeal in case an attempt is made to raise his rent. Thirdly, on parting with his holding, under any circumstances, he is to have a right to sell his good will and improvements, the sale to be subject to the sanction of the land lord or the Land Court, and the landlord, to have the right of pre-emption. Fourthly, the tenant is to have a right to subdivide his farm among his own relations within certain limits. Lastly, all claims against tilling grass lands are to be null and void. MR. G. H. MOORE AND • THE PRIME MINISTER. The London correspondent of the Irish Times says that there is a misunderstanding between Mr. G. H. Moore and Mr. Gladstone on the subject of the release of the Fenians. Soon after the Cabinet adjourned last Wednesday, Mr. Moore says he received an assurance from the Government that in answer to his question with reference to an amnesty, he should receive a reply in the sense of the following words :—" That the consideration of this question must necessarily depend upon the restoration of law and order in Ireland; and as soon as the disorders now prevailing in that country are repressed, the Premier trusts that he will be able to give a very different answer to Mr. Moore, and to promise the libe ration of the political prisoners." The Irish Times correspondent says Mr. Gladstone's actual reply on Thursday evening was simply the substitution of a negative for an affirmative, and that consequently a gross breach of faith has been committed. C3ST OF BRITISH COLONIES. A return called for by Colonel Sykes has been published, containinc , statements of the annual cost to the Briti s h Empire of its several colonies, from the year 1858-9 to 1867-8. Each item is specified : the governor, justices, clerks, police, education, troops, and various other means of expenditure. The total cost incurred by the nation Ibr the last year mentioned, for the "Mili tary and Maritime Stations, " Plantations and Settle ments," "Australian Settlements," and " Sundry Colo nies,"all taken collectively amounts t0:C3,967,920,which is a little less than the general cost for several years before. Of the military stations Gibraltar is the most expensive, costing -5,420,465. Ileligoland is the cheapest, being paid for by 1,166. Next to Gibraltar in point of expense come Malta, Cape of Good Hope, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Mauritius, St. Helena, and the Falkland Islands. Of the plantations and settlements Canada is the most, and Vancouver's Island and British Columbia the least expensive. The former costs £937,905, and the latter, £1,205. New Zealand requires £173,255; while Queensland costs only £3OO. PAUPER CHILDRF.N, An official return has been published, showing the number of children between 3 and 15 years of age chargeable to the poor rates of the several parishes and unions of England and Wales not inmates of work houses or pauper schools, on the Ist July, 1859 and 1869. The following are the results : Children at school at the cost of the parents or relations in 1859, 65,656 ; in 1869, 82,375 ; ditto at the cost of the poor-rates in 1859, .6,863 ; in 1869, 22,0f13. ditto at the cost of other parties in 1859, 35,212 ; in 1869, 40,225 ; total, in 1859, 107,731; and in 1869, 144,633. Children not attending any school in 1869, 48,385; in 1869, 54,421; ditto, at work in 1859, 34,364; . in 1869, 33,082. Grand total number of children in 1859,190,480; in 1869, 233,036. OPEN COMPETITION. The Pall Mall Gazette says that at the present time, when it is proposed to throw open the public service to general comp , tition, it is inte resting to recal the observations made in the year 1854 by the late Right li on. Waddington, Under-Secretary for the Home Depart ment, on the subject. Mr. Waddington begin s b e m b e s s e t rvil e i n g e th m a e t u t s h iy is in e e x ffi a e assertions that a large proportion of the civil servants are men unambitious, indolent, or incapable. It is true, he says, that their ranits are not recruited from the ablest and most ambitious youths of the country. It would be strange ambition for a young man, who had just obtained the highest honot.rs at Oxford and Cambridge, to aspire to a clerkship in a public office at a scanty salary, augmenting by slow degrees until it possibly reaches 80.0 or £l,OOO per annum. The ablest and most ambitious of the youth of the country are not and never will be, he contends, the stuff of which clerks in public offices are made. LEGISLATION AND INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE. The Observer gives a striking illustration of the close and intimate connection which exists be tween legislation and industrial enterprise. It says . that the proposal of the Ritual Commissioners to make certain amendments in the Liturgy, and th e ag i tat i on on th e ques tion of a revision of the translation of the Bible have thrown some hundreds of persons engaged in the book-binding trade out of employment. In view of the proposed change i n th e Prayer-book there is now a complete st agnat i on i n the business. The booksellers are ,only anxious to dispose of their stocks on hand, and will n o t a dd to them; and the public will be con tent with the old prayer e books u ntil says the new on es are re ady. Memo r ials, the Observer, are in course of preparation among the operative binders, praying that some final decision may be come to as soon as possible in order to re. lieve the present state of uncertainty and remove the causes if the want of employment and distress which exist in the bookbinding trade. THE ➢fARQUIS OF AILSA. The decease of the Marquis of Ailsa did not take place until three weeks had elapsed from the time of his accident in the hunting field. His lordship was in the 54th year of his age, having been born in 1816. Ile was the 13th Earl of Cassilis and second Marquis of Ailsa. lie succeeded to his title in 1850, the same year in which he married a daughter of the late Sir Richard Jephson, Bart. He was Lord-Lieutenant of Ay rshire, and was formerly' a li eu t enan t in the 17th Dragoons. y fig h h he t . Conservative. The deceased peer is succeeded in the family honours by his son Archibald, Earl of Cassili ,, , who was born in 1817, and is in the Coldstream Guards. COMFORT FOR TEA-DRINKERS. The tea-drinking public had good reason to ba alarmed and indignant at the news of the importa tion of large quantities of tea which was declared by the best authorities to be of the vilest description. 449,1319raft* iveA inlycpri §ff9Acci t 49. 1 14 .44 _ _ which the matter was brought forward, and further comfort is now contained in certain state' ments of the Produce Markets' .Review. I n the first place, it is nearly certain that not only has in respectable dealer dealt in this rubbish, but mall °' the leading wholesale tea houses immediately on its . arrival forwarded samples to Dr. Letheby, and di d al l in their power to prevent its being sold. Few retail dealers,according to the Revie,v,have ever seen asainplo of the " Maloo mixture," much less bought any of it. Lastly, it gladdens one's heart to learn that the im portation of this Maloo mixture has entailed enor mous loss 'on the importers. It cost them a bout ninepence per pound, a n d, as eve nts have turned out it could hardly be disposed of at any price here, s ° that the gratifying experiment is scarcely lik e ly to be again repeated. DUTTER FROM TITA3IES MUD. A Frenchman alleges that he has discovered a process by which butter may be made from Thames mud. The South Lond on P ress h as received fr om the discoverer specimens of the fat which he s tates was derived from mud t a k en a t f ou r diff eren t poi El of the river, and submitt e d it f or ana ly s is to Dr. Mu ter. The doctor describes the grease as of a very dark colour, colour, offensive in odour, a n d containing about co per cent. of pure fatty ma tt er . It bore, be say s a resemblance to some fat e x t ra cted from the mud, te t s but was not identical in co m p os ition. On the whole he doubts very much if the trifling proportion of grease existing i n the m ud alone could ever be profitably extracted without adding some oth er , source of fatty refuse. He suspects the informa l ' of the South London Press kept back part of the truth as to its origin. It is satisfactory to lin° ll that Dr. Muter feels quite certain that it is entirely unsuitable for the adulteration of butter, as it Is se different from that substance. THE SHRIEKING SISTERHOOD. "A Brooding, Hen" writes to the Pall life Gazette in the hope that parents and families who have hitherto been free from the very ideas now forced upon them by the Snrieking Sisterhood, inq, yet be saved from the pollution. The " Brooding Tien is a maternal character, who was brought UP) as . , she says, a modest woman, though a shrieking PO ton of the female fraternity is now fain to drive her and modesty from her. They try to entrap her . I) , h her daughters into their net. They deluge her letters demanding sympathy, papers to sign! and pamphlets to read on s u bjects hitherto u n ., heard of in domestic life. Not only is she bother ed ' to give her name to a petition for the "Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts," but her husband is Ill so canvassed by unshrinking women. Indecent pap er : are now dragging the innocence from you% girls in English homes, into which these papers are thrust by these agitating " ladies." Alluding tog Jacob Bright's remark that the " best women in the land" will refuse to meet in their drawing-I°e those surgeons who take duty under the Act, the "Brooding Hen" thinks that the surgeon who ba s grown-up daughters may object to their meeting class of women evidently alluded to as " the best,.4 namely, tho se w h o pu bli c l y di scuss t h ese matter' with so little reticence. COLONIZATION OF SOUTH AMERICA.

What he found in the interior province! is said to have surpassed his most sanguine ex p3ctations. It is possible that with a nat ural desire to exalt his own country in the eves of the world, the President may have spoken too -favourably of the condition of the farmers and merchants of the Republic. The accounts are very glowing. 1 11 . 0 , 11 , 6 . Swiss colony, near Santa F 4, th e c hi e f of the principality said :—" Here, Senor, we are all rich. The English are rapidly cultivating the ground wit' steam ploughs. One person shewed the President a steam mill he had built, at the cost of £lO,OOO, after arriving in the colony with in his pocket. T l l ° importations of British produce into the Republ ic are steadily increasing, and the great question of the feasibility of sending live cattle from South America. to Europe has every prospect of being successfully sottled. DESTITUTION IN JERUSALEM. The Anglican Bishop at Jerusalem gives a harroiv ing account of the destitution prevailing in tba Holy City. He says that the cisterns are nosy empty. Bir Ayoob, in the valley of Hinnom, and Kedron's Brook have been seized by the Government for the soldiers. It is pitiful, lie adds, to hear the cries and sobs of the poor destitute people, especially the emaciated Jews• Provisions are eight times dearer than a few years ago, and for the first time people are mur muring against travellers coming to Jerusalenlf as they say, to drink what little water there is. VT less God, he says, - sends a plentiful latter rain, which is still possible, many must perish of famine and thirst. BUSINESS OF THE SUEZ CANAL. • From an official statement it appears that the receipts of the Suez Canal from the opening to the end of February amounted to R 36,343, an d that th e affi c which in Jan uary was at the rate of one vess el l every other day, was i n F e b ruary at the rate of ono vessel every day.
