The Tines, referring to . the catastrophe in Spain, observes it would be impossible to say in what degree this new disappointment of long-cherished hopes may have contributed to embitter Montpensier's mind. Prim's " Never " must have soundedlike a death-knell to the pre tensions of the Orleans Prince, and people were at a loss for any cause which could still detain him in the capital where the result of the debate of thesth had placed him in so false a position. His purpose is now too evident, and all that remains to be ascertained is whether the quarrel was of his own seeking or whether he received a challenge which he had not the courage to decline. We shall not venture- to foretell how Montpensier's_ prospects as a candidate for the Spanish throne may be affected by this fatal dueL With respect to the Code of Honour different notions prevail among civilized nations. In this country a breach of the law, no matter under what pretext, would d;squalify one aspiring to be its guardian and avenger. We hardly know what even the chivalrous Spanisl• p;:ople will think of these two Royal relatives so eagerly on sledding, each other's blood, and so obstinately persisting in their intention when, after a double exchange of shots, the ~exigencies of the most punctilious honour might have been satisfied. MURDER IN- SPITALFIELDS. A friendly lead was announced to be held on Sa turday night at the Ship Tavern, kept by Messrs. 11. and J. Cooper, Bacon street, Spitalfields, at which John Butter, aged 21, and his brother. in-law, Ilenry Porker, a wood chopper, attended. From some cause at present unknown words ensued, when Butter left the house, followed by Parker, who as soon as he reached the street - deliberately put hi , hand into his pocket, drew oat a large t3p: - knife, and.plunged it into Entt..r's breast between the n . pple and collar bonP, penetrating to the Icart. The murderer withdrew the Lnife and made his escape. The dece:ised instantly fell to the ground, and blood poured from the woun'l in a stream. He was immediately conveyed by some of the persons present to the surgery of Dr. Cayton, 85, Brick-lane, who found life to be ext7nct. The police at once proceeded to No. 36, Canal-road, Kingsland road, the residence of both the deceased and his murderer, but Parker hcd not been home. He is well known to the police, but has not yet been apprehended. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. It has been notified by the Quartermaster-Gene ral that the 27th Regiment will be stationed at Colchester instead of the Ist Battalion 4th Foot, as originally announced. The depot 81st Regiment will be attached to the 27th Foot, and will be shortly removed from Colchester to Ireland. The depot 2d Dragoon Guards, consisting of two officers and 31 men, will arrive at Colchester from Canter bury this afternoon to await the arrival of the ser vice troops. .1 Orders have been received at the School of Mili tary Engineerh j ig at Chatham that th e 3d C ompany of Royal Engineers, stationed there, are shortly to leave for service •in Canada. An order arrived at Chatham on Saturday that this company, and also some 60 other non-commissioned Wheels and men under orders for foreign s,3rvice, arc to be medically inspected forthwith, to be ready to leave. There was again a discharge - of 50 mechanics and labour. rs from Chatham dockyard on Saturday. Though the Admiralty have consenttd to make au increase in the pay of some of the men who formerly worked " factory" hours, and who have suffered by the recent change to the common hours of Chatham dockyard, it is underwood that only the Plumbers; the braziers, and the double firemen in the second class in the smitheries will have an increase-3d. a day ; other men, who were formerly " factory" hands, are not, it would seem, to have any increase. We understand that the sum for which Deptford Dock yard has been disposed of is £75,000. A telegram from Alexandria announces the de par.ure thence of her Majesty's Indian troops Lip Serapis on the morning of the 11th inst. ; all we ll. Her Majesty's ship Ilimalaya left Malta for Eng land on the loth inst. The new double screw iron armour-plated ship Vanguard, 14, bai.t by Mess: s. Laird at Birkenhead, arrived at Devourort on Friday morning, in charge of Staff Commander Spain. The gunboat Wun-yo-Maru, Captain Gibson, be longing to the Japanese Government, from Aber deen, for - Yokohama, has arr i ve d i u Pl ymout h Sound. , We are authorised to inform officers on the Active Lists of the Royal Navy on half-pay who may not have received the general circular respecting naval retirement that it will be forwarded to them on their making either written or personal application to the Admiralty. No officers on the Retired Lists are affected by the schemes. Her Majesty's screw corvette Juno, Capt.

The, eastern military district is to be enlarged. Provision has been made in the Estimates for the ensuing financial year for a Major-General, an As sistant Adjutant-General, a Major of Brigade, and an Aide-de-Camp for the district. In abolishing the " non- professional " writers in Chatham dockyard the Admiralty have shown a kind consideration for them. No fewer than eight have now left, or received notice to leave, but in every case the writers have been provided for at leait for a time by their appointment temporarily as writers in the Accountant-General's office at the Admiralty. Messrl: Brown and Glegg have just received notice that they-axe to leave the dockyard forthwith, but to be - employed in the Admiralty. Capt. -Richard Francis George Cumberland, late of the Scots Fusilier Guards, whose death has been announced, was one of the few remaining Penins:ilar veterans. Being Page of Honour to George 111., he obtained his commission in that regiment as ensign and lieutenant in 1809 ; and having been subse quently appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington was present at most of the great actions in the Peninsular, and was actually engaged at the Siege of Badajoz, i n th e B a t t l es o f th Nive and Nivelle, and in the sortie from Bayonne, where he was wounded. The deceased officer received the war medal with three clasps for Nive, Nivelle, and Badajoz. MI ices received at Lloyd's from Fayal, dated 26th of February, give no information of the City of Boston having put in there up to that date. A demonstration in Support or the National Education League will be held in St. James's Hall on the 25th inst. Sir Charles Dilke, the chairman of the London Committee, will preside.

Private advices received at San Francisco from Mexico state that a public meeting was held in Topic on the 15th of January, which declared in favour of the in dependence of the North-Western States, including Chi huahua, Durang), Sonora, Sinaloa, Lower California, and a portion of Jalisco. Generals Lozado and Pedro Vega are the leaders of the now movement. It is claim that the people of all the States named, and the Governors of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Lower California favour inde pendence. The Governors of Sinaloa and Durango ad here to President Juarez. Tho Cable advices, via New York, from the Juarez party, declare that the insurrection in the Northern States of the Republic is being rapidly suppressed. Such assertions aro always made ; for in stance, the Spanish accounts from Cuba, via Now York, are that several insurgent bands have surrendered, and that the revolt is subsiding. UAUTION TO ofECULATORS.— vice-unancenor manns, m giving judgement, in the case of the Heaton Steel and Iron Company, which was a petition presented by Mr. Andrews, one of the shareholders, for a winding-up order, commented strongly on the precipitancy of the share holder, who now petitioned the court. The company was formed for the purpose of working a patent obtained for an improved mode of manufacturing steel from a l ow quality of iron Th e p romo t ers expected to raise £400,000, but, after b e i ng i n operat i on some time, they only realised about a fortieth part of that sum: Mr. Andrews had subscribed £lOO to the concern, and feel ing dissatisfied, he lodged the present petition. His Honour remarked on the reckless manner in which such companies were started, without any reasonable expecta tion of realising the glowing expectations held out in the prospectuse. , . At the same time he should dismiss this petition, it being one of those vexatious proceedings in stituted by dissatisfied shareholders, who should have ex ercised more caution before embarking their capital ii schemes not likely to turn out profitable.

The A " list had been exhaused on the £lO call, and the "B "' list was to be made liable for calls transferred since January 1866. A proposal of £l5 per share had been made as a compromise, in consequence of the suffering already endured by the parties. 'There were some objections raised to the matter, but it was in sisted that no alteration should be made.

ARSON BY A LUNATIC.—At the Maidstone assizes, James Garrett, a wild-looldng man, was charged with arson. The prosecutor who is the prisoner's father, is a coal merchant at Maidstone. He saw his son go up to some buildings cud put Hilted matches inside throilgh a hole. He said that the prisonerhad for some time acted in an extraordinry manner, and had set fire to a ro. - un. He had two other eons, one of whom had been in a lunatic asylum for fifteen years, and the other for thirty. The Prisoner had twice enlisted, bit the sur,geons had refused to pass him, as his brain was diseased. Lie jury returned a verdict of not ;may on the ground of insanity.

VIOLENT ASSAULT. —Bridsot Norman was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Francis Jones, by striking him oa the head with a poker. The complainant, whose head was bandaged up, sail that on Saturday night be was at home at his lodgings in Hod don-court, Regent-street, being very ill, when prisoner, with whom he lived, came home, and gave him something to drink. Shortly after the prisoner had soma words with a person she worked for, and because he afterwards made the remant that he was glad they male peace, she took up a pokorand struck him seven or eight times on the head with it. He called " Police !" and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner• said the complainant got out of bed and jumped on her. HO WAS always abusing her, and three weeks ago assaulted her with a pair of tongs. Alfred Brook, 111 0, said he knew the complainant and the prisoner, and they were both bad characters, and always drinking and quarrelling. The complainant said that ho had suffered imprisonment for other people, and ho did not see why others should not suffer for him. He was not to be assaulted without redress. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, although he did not suppose after what he had heard from the const tble that as far as charac ter was concerned there was any diffLlgnce between thy complainant and the prisoner, yet the tuati: e s life must be pro tected, and he should fine the prisoner 40s. or a month. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—John Edwards and another man, who refused his address, but is known to the police as John Williams, wore charged with br,tking and entering the p►emises of Mr. Green, umbrella rn4k -r, 110, Sloane-street, Pimlico, and stealing there:u 40U uathrellAs, five duz u para : - sols, six gross dog collars, silver mounts, and other articles,' the goods of Mr. Frederick Green. On Thursday a man named Octave Nadeau was charged with stealing the property and remanded. It appeared that on the night of the 2d inst. Mr. Greene' shop, which is not attached to a dwelling-house, was broken into and the entire stock cleared out, the thieves having broken through some complicated bars and locks. A re ward of £2O was offered, in consequence of which Mr. Greene received an anonymous letter, and went to a house in New Broad-street, City, where thoy were offered back to him for £42 by an agent named Theodaridi, who alleged he had bought them of a man named Moireau (not in custody) through the agency of the prisoner Nadeau. The latter was then taken into custody. _ _ _ Last night Inspector Palmer and Detective Sergeant White of tho B division cleverly captured the prisoner in Moore-street, Bobo. M. Theodaridi was called, and proved that Edwards was with Moireau when the things were sold to him, and a wit ness proved further that 2t hours afterwards he went from Tower-street, Seven• dials, with the two prisoners, Moireau and another man, to M. Theodarias, in New Bond-street. They were remanded. THAMES. TILE MODERN TARPEIAN rocs.—Sarah Berry, a prosti tute, was charged with attempting to commit suicide at the New Gravel-land swivel bridge, in Shad well. It was the old, old tale of the woman getting upon the rails of the bridge, screaming and declaring her intention of drowning herself in the lock below. A police-constable came up in time to save her. _ Mr. Paget asked if anything had been been done to the bridge, and a similar one in Old Gravel-lane, since he had spoken about it, and Mr. Mumford, Superintendent of the London and St. Katherine Docks police, and Mr. George, chief constable of the London Dock, had waited upon him and heard his condemnation of the two bridges. Mr. Osborne, Inspector of the H division, said nothing had been done; the buildings remained in the same position as ever. Mr. Paget wished this casa to be submitted to Mr. Howard, the district superintendent, who would make a proper repre sentation to the Dock Company. There had been many cases of suicide and attempted suicide at the two bridges over the eastern part of the London Dock, and he considezed the pali sading on each side of the bridges very low, and affording insufficient protection. The prisoner was remanded for a week. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market steady. Her Majesty the Queen will, it is expected, visit Claremont House, near Esher, Surrey, about the close of this or the beginning o f nex t wee k .

The Standard remarks that Count Montalembert's pro test against the attempt to establish the doctrine of Papal infallibility was the last utterance, the political testament, so to speak, of a man whose name will live in history as that of one of the most able and the most honest states men and litterateurs of his day. Count Montalembert who died, who was mercifully released from hopeless suffering on Sunday morning, held throughout his life as a politician and a Roman Catholic a position of the utmost difficulty. A fervent Catholic, but a sincere and enthusiastic partisan of political freedom, he had all his life to struggle against the grossest prejudices and misrepresentations, and to bear the hard cross of being looked upon with sus picion and distrust by the great majority of those with whom, whether as Liberal or as Catholic, he was allied. m Count Montalembert vas born an Englishman, although by parentage a Frenchman, and he always retained an affection and admiration for the land of his birth, heretic a 3 it was. He liked, to use his own expression, to take "a- bath of liberty" in England, and his contrasts of English liberty with the system established in France after the coup d'etat, involved him in more than one pro secution. W e have touched very slightly upon the life of this eminent man. His part in the history of his country, in that moot interesting religious movement of his youth, and his political activity in later years, deserve and will receive a more careful appreciation than we can give to them now. His death is a great loss to France, although he had practically given up all active part in political or religious affairs for some years; and wherever there is respect for high principle, for genuine devotion, for earnestness, truthfulness, and eloquence, there will be regret at the premature departure—he was but 59-of the Count Charles de Montalembert. EXTRA REGULATION PRICES. The Telegraph discusses the extra regulation prices hit army commissions, and says the specific point in question is rather what the lawyers would call a feigned issue than the real one. The real dispute is as to the extra re4rula tion prices given by British officers for their commissions. Those who have attained the highest rank that may be purchased in our army, after having paid largely in addition to the regulation sum for each Successive step in the ladder of promotion, . will b e s b n o y ruin ed. We can have no doubt that the right thing would be, to ascertain what th e amoun t o f t:iis extra regulation fund is, and to snake a liberal bargain with the officers. Thus, by substituting the element of certainty for that of uncertainty the public might enjoy the benefit of a very handsome deduc tion from the siun-total, and the status of the officers would be much improved. Is it not disgraceful to the nation that the Duke of Cambridge should have felt himself constrained to give the answer which follows to the Select Committee on Military organisation in 1860 ?—" I should represent to the Secre tary of State that such and such [meaning payment of extra regulation price] had been the case, and I should ask him if he did not think it a case for prosecution." In his official character, his royal highness could give no other 'answer ; but would he condescend to inform us of the name of that British officer, from the highest to the lowest, who could escape prosecution, either as principal or aider and' abetter, if his doctrine passed from theory into practice ? THE EDUCATION BILL. Mr. Forster, says the Post was told by the deputation. from the Congregational Union thatthe religious difficulty in the Education Bill would - be met by the master of the school being allowed to read the Scriptures, but prohi bited from teaching the dogmas of Christianity.' Both the difficulty and the mode of solving it are enough to-put the Congregational Union out of court ; for the difficulty is a disagreement of opinion amongst people who pro pose to sweep away the labours of men whose co-ope ration has in less than forty years almost covered England with 'schools ; and the proposed 'solution is - one which the-Union must have suggested with a full ap'pre elation r,f its worthlessness. In his reply to another depu tation, representing the National Education Union, the Prime Minister - adopted from Lord Harrowby the prin.' ciple on which the Union takes its stand, namely, " that religion is not to be compulsorily separated from education." If there are districts in town or country where no schools exist at present, and where the population would rather not have religion taught, the Government Bill will help the Education League to supply them. Thus all tastes, - including those which are either outside the Christian pale, or those which somewhat border upon it, are pro vided for. But this does not satisfy either the Lea-ue or the .Congregational Union. Neither of these bodies appears to understand that there is such a thing as fair play between opposing interests, or that the men who have given England that great, if not complete, system of national education which she possesses have at ICast as great a right to the consideration of the Legislature as the Secularists, who have - done nothing to help the cause, or the Congregational Union, who seem to have done littl• more. TREATMENT OF PAUPERS. The Daily News thinks that one of our national failings !thews itself very conspicuously in the treatment which we deal out to those peculiarly unhappy and defenceless classes of the community—criminals and paupers. We seem altogether to ignore the fact that they are human beings, with the very same passions and feelings as our own. We do not, perhaps, treat them badly. But we treat them worse than badly, contemptuously and ignominiously. 1t - appears that the Westminster guardians are in the habit of conveying their fever patients to the hospital in a hand-ambulance, dragged by paupers. It is not on the score of its inhumanity that we feel bound to protest against such a practice, and to agree with Mr. Goschen that its publicity ought to be equivalent to its prohibition. Paupers might be, and often are, far worse treated and far more ill-used. But it is strange that it should never have occurred to the West minster Guardians that to habitually employ human beings as beasts of burden is to degrade them to the level of horse or mule, which have no understanding. Surely we have yet a good deal to learn. To harness a man to an ambulance or to clothe him in sacking , will one da y b e seen to be quite as wanton a form of cruelty as to brand or to flog him. No physical pain may be involved in such things, but they lower a man's self-respect, if he have any; and if he have none, they confirm him in his degradation It is state 44 in professional circles that Vice- Admiral Sir Hastings Reginald Yelverton, K.C.8., is' likely to have a command very shortly, probably in the • Mediterranean. A godless fellow, being in church when a collec tion was made for the heathen, put his hand in the box and took out all the money he could lay hold of. When asked why he did that, he replied that he was the greatest heathen in that part of the country. PASTORAL FROAI CARDINAL CULLEN.--A pasto ral from Cardinal Cullen has been published. He says : " Last year one of the greatest impediments to Ireland's happiness--the State church—was removed for ever. At present the great statesmen who conferred that boon have manifested their resolve to remove other grievances. It is only by peaceable agitation and temperate discussion that we can hope to co-operate with them. I hesitate not to say there never was a period when the axiom that he who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy wa s more unquestionably applicable. He cautions people against Fenianism and Freemasonry. THE PROGRESS OF WOMEN'S RIGHT S IN AMRRICA. —Certainly the Women's Rights movement is progressing in America. A firm of ladies are acting as stockbrokers in New York, Utah has given women the suffrage, and now Wyoming has not merely done as much as Utah, but has made a lady, a Mrs. Esther Morris, a justice of the peace. A correspondent of the New York. World of Feb. 26th thus describes the lady judge :----" Mrs. Morris is a b ove th e average stature, and 180 pounds. She has strongly marked and masculine features, her whole ap pearance indicating strength of both purpose and muscle. She is fifty-seven years of age, and acknowledges it ; and is, and perhaps always has been, one of the strong minded:. She never delivered any lecture (away front home), but she writes for the Revolution. On the occa sion of her first court day she wore a calico gown, worsted breakfast shawl. green ribbons on her hair, and a gree n necktie. The World s correspondent makes no secret of his disapproval of the appointment, hut it must be con• fessed that, according to his acccount, Mrs. Morris showed that she was possessed of the first requisite for her new office —a sense of justice. Her predecessor having refused to our render to her the docket and other papers appertaining to the office, she issued a warrant for his arrest. When brought before her, his attorney stated that he was not ready, and asked for an adjournment to the next day. His demand was granted. On the next day "the court-room was again crowded with spectators, the shops in the immediate vicinity being closed, and business suspended. Her Honour, calm and dignified, took her seat at the table." The defendant's counsel moved a dis charge of the prisoner for informality in the warrant. The motion was sustained , and the prisoner discharged. Blithe was immediately arrested and brought hack again. His coun sel then moved his discharge, on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction, and that the judge clai:nin ,, to be the successor of Stillman was an interested party, ke. " For the credit of the Woman's Rights party, and to th, honour of Mrs. Morris be it mid, she here saw that shp had been misled, and she had the good sense t o sue t h at , she was in the wrong." The ca3e was dismissed.—Pall Mall Gazette. THE DUKE OF BEDFORD'S WALL—An appeal from Vice-Chancellor James has been heard hy Lord Justice Gifford. An injunction had been granted restraining, the London and North-Western Railway Company from re moving a wall secures the privacy of Ampthitl square and other adjoining property. 'Phe wail bultmged to the company, but it scenic that an agi;eernent had been made with the Duke to keep it up. The Lord Justice : p-i,ged the ;appeal. TIE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. CAMBRIDGE, Saturday Evening. The Cambridge crew st ill, according to present arrangements, take their departure for the Thames after eight days' more praztice on the Cam ; and certainly no University crew has left Cambridge fur London during the last ten years with a better chance of reversing the order of things which has prevailed so long than that which will go forth on Wednesday wick to do battle on the waters for the honour of their Alma Mater. Nothwith standing the undeniable superiority of this year's crew, it seems hard- to b,elieve that • the ill-luck which has so persistently attended the fortunes of the light blue of late years will at length desert them. Whether it does or not, we are glad to have heard on all hands expressions of a determination to perseverd again, and if necessary again, until Cambridge row ing shall have attained its former excellence.
