As yet no trustworthy intelligence has been received respecting the progress of the vile con spiracy concocted at the Palace of Queen ISA.BELL& against the constitutional liberties of Spain. We tan detect the infamous treachery displayed against the honest and high-minded, but, unfor tunately, the unsuspecting ESPARTERO, by the SOVEREIGN who owes her throne to his exertions, and the colleague who is indebted to him for the power of inflicting so severe a blow to his supe rior. We can perceive the diabolical ingenuity with which the project was carried into execution —the concentration of troops sufficient to crush the unorganised resistance, which the manifest determination to establish an irresponsible despo tism on the ruins of the Constitution was sure to provoke, and the sanguinary resolution to cement the foundations of absolutism with the blood of the best and bravest of the people. But ore do not, and cannot, know what has been the result in the provinces, owing to the break in the telegraphic communication at Saragossa. As we have already stated, we have nothing but ex park statements and one-sided versions of the proceedings, and it is scarcely necessary to say that these are coloured, if not prepared, to suit the exigencies of the reactionary party from whence they emanate. That there has been a temporary success at Madrid seems but too certain. Those who rose on the spur of the moment were left without leaders round whom they could rally, and the cmnon, the fusillade, and the sabre, soon performed their deadly work on the indignant but unprepared Constitutionalists. But it is not so easy to trample on the liberties of a people firmly resolved to be free. There may 1,3 a brief triumph, but the parties can never be secure. " For freedom's battle once begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baled oft, is ever won." Spain may for the moment be trampled on, bu, she is by no means subdued ; and if the Spaniards be worthy of the constitutional freedom to which they aspire they will eventually obtain it, despite every obstacle which the diabolical cunning and sanguinary atrocities of the Reactionaires may place in their way. We regret to say that there are sinister ru mours in circulation respecting the participation of the French Court, and more especially of the French Minister at Madrid, in these very un toward events —rumours which recsive at least a partial corroboration from the movement of French troops to the frontier. It would almost seem as if the precious Peac3 by which the Western Powers sacrificed the advantages they had obtained, at the expense of so much blood and treasure, was patched up for the purpose of enabling the conspiracy against Spanish Liberty to be carried into practical execu tkn- All those, who were not in, the secret, felt Surprised as well as grieved at the disgraceful ter mination to a war commenced and carried on 'rider very different auspices. But it now seems as if NAPOLEOX were too strongly actuated by the spirit of Imperta. link), to inflict any injury on the Atrrocitar—that he would rather direct his power against the constitutional liberties of neighbouring States, so as to have no example that could in fluence his people in their opinions. It is only the EMPEROR himself that can ter minate these serious doubts and fears, and prove to the world that he is not actuated by the insi dious policy so generally imputed to him. We should greatly regret to find that the personage once so popular in England had forfeited the respect and approbation then freely accorded. We should have hoped that Lours NAPOLEON would have been fax too prudent to engage in affairs which have been so frequently proved fatal to his predeces sors, and led to repeated changes of dynasties in France. It would scarcely be necessary to trace hack beyond his immediate predecessor, whose dethronement and exile were mainly occasioned by the intrigues relating to the Spanish marriages. To these intrigues, and the disgust thereby created both in France and England, NAPOLEON owes his throne, and he should beware lest he may, in turn, become the victim of a similar mistake. LOUIS PHILIPPE himself had ample warning. He must have seen the effect produced by the ill-omened intervention of the elder branch of the BOURBONS, which led to the judicial murder cf the patriot RAPHAEL DE RlEGO—and CHARLES X. had witnessed the fatal results to the Great NAPOLEON, of playing the Spanish King and the heir apparent against each other, for the purpose of transferring the Crown to one of his own family. Why, then, will he not profit by the salutary lessons ? Why will he endanger the dynasty he has taken so much pains to establish, and which the birth of the Imperial Prince afforded a chance of perpetuating, by intermeddling in the perilous cause. Should the struggle between the principles of absolutism and constitutional freedom once commence, and nothing is more cal culated to render it inevitable than the untoward state of affairs in Spain and Italy, it will be im possible to say when or where the contest may terminate, or what changes may occur during its progress. He himself may be one of the chief sufferers. It is unnecessary to say that whatever he may do he cannot gain the confidence or good will of the banded despots. They will readily use him as a tool to advance their own purposes, but they will still regard him as an usurper, and yearn for the opportunity of restoring what they consider the legitimate line to the throne of France. His Sovereignty is based on the popular will, and the indisputable right of a na tion to select the form of Government which its People may consider best suited to the national welfare and prosperity. Every blow inflicted on constitutional liberty and representative Govern ment must weaken his own title ; and the pre cedent which he may assist in establishing would necessarily operate powerfully against himself and his successors. As we have already stated, it is not for England to interfere. The battle must be decided in Spain, and by Spaniards only. We shall not only observe a strict neutrality our selves--but, to the best and utmost of our ability, endeavour to enforce it on all others. Horribly vulgar though the Court may deem our dear old friend Punch to be this week—the mere " people" the of. iroAXot in the streets will stand opposite the shop windows and grin at it in very despite, nevertheless. That glorious, highly strappcd-up, highly-strapped-down, military game of Leap-Frog ! His Royal Highness—Lieutenant- General that was, Full General that is, and Field- Marshal that is to be—the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, K.G., K.P., G.C.8., Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Grand Star of the Mcd jidie, (almost "My Lord High Everything" like HARLEY in the Extravaganza), AND now "last but not least," Commander-in-chief 1 There he is—high in mid-air—with a hopr skip, and a jump—flying gaily over the head of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort : Saying, with a chuckle, as he soars in one hilarious ricochet over the princely shoulders—" Now then, ALBERT, Tuck in your Tuppenny !" Horribly vulgar, to the Court. Eminently ludicrous, appropriate, and laughter-moving to the mere, common, herd of the population. The old dowagers (of both sexes) who doat upon Princes will shudder, of course, over the profanity of the Fleet-street Droll. Bat the " people," the mere " people," as we have said, will grin at that profanity, never theless. As our good friends across the water were wont in the days of the Citizen King (when the crown was a "shocking bad hat," and the sceptre a gingham, and very Gampy, umbrella) precisely, wp say, as our good friends across the Channel used in those very pleasant times to grin over the famous pear-head pencilled week after week by the ini• mitable PHILLIPON, with the most preposterously whimsical expressions ever conjured up by the imagination of a caricaturist ! Horribly vulgar —Yes ! no doubt of it. But, ludicrous —very ! Laughter, more or less, Punch contrives always to elicit—as poor Tom HOOD had it so comically— " Laughter from Year to Year !" Sometimes with a sudden outburst in its way quite inextinguish able. As when there appeared upon a memo rable Wednesday forenoon that celebrated cartoon in which Lord JOHN was seen in the form of a small Loudon boy chalking up No Popery on Cardinal WISEMAN'S Door, and then—running away ! Or, again, as in that other renowned tableau where DAN, in the shape of a squalling Irish Brat, seated on the ,knees of Britannia, was blubbering for the Moon labelled "Repale !" Or as now again in the "royal game," not of Goose, but of Leap-Frog. When the Consort gives the new Commander-in- Chief a back, to the tune of " Now then, ALBERT, Tuck iu your Tuppenny !" What is it Sir FWEDEWICK BLOUNT says in BULWER'S comedy of Money—" That fellow COWPER says vewy odd things !" And so is it, doubtless, with the Sir FWEDEWICK BLOUNTS of the Court in regard to " that fellow Punch," who, also, now and then (a little more frequently perhaps than the demi semi-religious-mad Poet, with the tame hares and that everlasting nightcap !) contrives in his turn to say such " vewy odd things ! " Here is one of them —very much to the point—but, of course, horribly vulgar ! What you call rude ! Positively shocking ! To think of the dear Prince "giving a back" to anyone, even to his Royal High ness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE And above all, to think of his being addressed by the new Commander-in- Chief (even hypothetically) with —"Now then, AL BERT, Tuck in your Tuppenny !" We can fancy the courtly Mr. CHESTERS of Society dusting the mere sense of Punch away from them with a whiff of embroidered cambric, calling faintly the while to their favourite groom-of-the-chambers for the counter-flavour of the scent-bottle, a deli cate, disinfecting sprinkle of the genuine parfum de la cour. We must have no second " botch"of — New i Westminster Bridge. Already 42,0001. have been swallowed up very recently in the muddy bottom of the river, at the old fatal site where we have been patching, and cobbling, and propping, and shoreing up, until the thing has become abso luttly ridiculous. Don't let us any longer, in the iname of Common Sense and in that of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer !—don't let us any longer be hanging perversely about the locality which has been the scene of all this fruitless and ruinous expenditure. Another bridge, it actually appears now, will have to be commenced from the very foundations—another bridge, crossing the Thames at that particular quarter of the town, and so connecting together Lambeth and West. minster. Seeing that the enterprise must he begun afresh let us not allow to slip from our grasp the narrow chance of this abrupt and unexpected opportunity. It is quite obvious, we conceive, by this time that the old place, and the old plans, and : the old ideas, about the undertaking, are utterly. out of th, (11 3 / 44 tic l n and preposterous. A move one way 0, he other is imperatively requisite. The new bridge must obviously be planned higher up of 1 .wer down. Higher up would be absurd—lower down is consequently the one unavoidable alterna ti ve. It is not merely an unavoidable alternative, but a thing to be earnestly deside rated. Construct it at a point sufficiently re moved from the old site in the direction indicated, and you secure another and . a very considerable advantage to Sir CHARLES BARRY'S architectural masterpiece. You give at once greater elevation and an ampler area to the gorgeous gothic palace of the Legislature. Doing this, moreover, with other less picturesque but more obvious and practica! benefits in the way of metropolitan improve ment. Let the new Westminster Bridge cross the river Thames, let us say, for example, at a point somewhere between its old cramped-up, tumble-down site and the corner of Richmond terrace, and we might at once render feasible the long-desired project of a convergence of four grand channels of intercommunication. Thoroughfares might then extend from the Surrey end of the New Bridge in one direction along Bridge-road, Lambeth, branching off in another to the Waterloo Railway Termi nus—from the Middlesex end in one direc bon by George-street, in another sweeping round at a convenient curve through Scotland yard into the grand central place of Trafal gar-square, where unite together Pall-mall, Cockspur-street, St. Martin's-lane, Parliament. street and the Strand. Supposing all which to be accomplished in the development of the new enterprise now rendered essential by reason of the failure of the recent structure (the qlceletqn bases of the Bridge lately condemned, in the Re port of the Messrs. RENDEL and SIMPSON, the eminent engiueers)—we shall not then be disposed to begrudge the total loss of 42,0001. upon mere experiments. A wholesale squandering of the public moneys otherwise wholly unjustifiable. GALLIC WAR-SONG. BY SYDNEY DOBELL. A gem from " England in Time of War," by the author of "The Roman." Smith, Elder, and Co. Bvo. 1850 : " Oh, a gallant sans peur Is the merry chasseur, With his fanfaron horn and his rifle ping-pang ! And his grand havresack Ojgold on his back, His pistol cric-crac ! And his sword cling-clang ! "Oh, to see him blytbe and gay From some hot and bloody day, Come to dance the night away till the bugleblows 'au rang,' With a wheel and a whirl And a wheeling waltzing girl, And his bow, ' place aux dames r and his oath 'fee et sang' And his hop and his fling Till his gold and silver ring To the clatter and the clash of his sword cling-clang !

And where's the Chasseur ? "He's in Among the din Steel to steel cling-clang !" HAYMARKAT. Miss Reynolds, who has been labouring under sevete took her benefit last night, and the theatre•was crowded by a fishionable .and enthusiastic audience The fair beneficiaire made her first appearance in a new three-act cimedy, which was oroduced on the occasion, and which is entitled Second Lore. The chief conduct . • of the piece fell upon M iss R e y no ld s , an d a d m i ra bl y she sustained it. From. first to last her performance was excellent ; it was thoroughly lady-like, and marked with very nice feelincl. The piece was admirably acte • throughout, and being well written, we have no dout.t that, with a little compression, it will become a perms nent favourite. The curtain fell amid the most cor dial applause ; and, after Miss Reynolds and Mr. Buck stone had appeared, there was a cad for the author, Mr. Buckstone announced that the author was Mr. Pal. grave Simpson, who was behind the scenes, but was really too modest to appear. At this the audience laughed, but was not to be baulked, and Mr. Simpson was at last compelled to cross the stage and bow his thanks to his friends. SPEAKER'S DINNER.—The Right Hon. the Speaker's Parliamentary dinner to the clerks and officers of the House of Commons took pace last nigh+, July 23, and was attended by Lord Charles Russell, Sir Denis Le Niarchant. the Hon. George Waldegrave, Mr. Dyson, Captain Gusset, Mr. F. Gamier, Mr. Rickards, Mr. Le froy, Mr. May, Mr. H. Ley, Mr. Jones, Mr. Gudgs', Mr. J. Rose, Mr. Pole, Mr. Frere, Mr. S. Smith, Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Rowland, Mr. George Gunnell, Mr. Pus telthwaite, Mr. GraY, Colonel Forester, and Mr. Var den. THE CASE OF JAMES SADLEIR.—DuBLIN, WednesdaT. —The Lord Chancellor to-day granted an application for the appointment of a receiver of the property of James Sadleir ; and Mr. Macdowell, the official ma nager, was then appointed. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—DEPARTCRR OF THE ATLAN. TlC. —The United States mail steamship Atlantic, Capt. Oliver Eldridge, sailed from the Mersey yesterday after noon, at 1 p.m., for New York, with the bi-montbly mails, for the United States and Canada, a full comple ment of passengers, and a general cargo of merchandise on freight. Small PARTRIDGES., —A correspondent of The Field describes a small breed of partridge, about midway in 81Z4 between the English partridge and the quail. They exist in the mountains of Donegal, and they are found almost entirely on the green sides of hills, just under or on the heaths—coming, doubtless, to the lowlands at night to teed. AN AFFAIR OP HONOUR.—A duel took place on Wed nesday,. at• Wimbledon, between a gentleman named Henry E. Verrall and an ex-military officer. When the parties met on the ground the seconds endeavoured t effect a reconciliation but without success. Th e p ar ti e fired at 12 paces, and one was carried from the ground " winged "and in a fainting condition. We believe a lady was the cause of the quarrel. Advice 3 from Naples state that Sir William Temple had just communicated to the merchants the receipt of a note from the Minister of Foreign Affairs assuring him of " the desire• of %is- Sicilian Majesty to meet E.igland'e wishes at all times, and that English ,vesseh shall enjoy the same privileges as Neapolitan, and 'those or other uaions who have reciprocal treaties ; alvo thai the 10 per cent, extra duty paid on wheat by English flag to France shall be returned if paid under protest." Neapolitan vessels have the same privileges' in thi c.inntry a, Ziglish, mot only with regard to indirect but al-o intercolonial and coasting trade. It is therefore hoped that a treaty of perfect reciprocity will very soon be concluded. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night last Dr. John C'altherpe Williams, of Nottirieharn, was returning in his carriage from Wollaton Hall (Notts), the seat of Lord Micelleton, after dining with his lordship, and when near the town the horse became restiff. The coachman cautioned the doctor to remain quiet ; the un fortunate gentleman way, however, pitched out of the carriage, and, falling upon his head, way fearfully bruised. After the horse had been quieted, Dr. Williams was cc nveyed to his residence at N ttingliam, and a num• ber of his professional friends attended him until Mon day night, when he died. Dr. Williams was a man of eminency in his profession, and was about GO 'ears of age. SIR JOHN DEAN PAUL IN MILLBANK PRISON.--The last of the privileged men that passed us had so different a look from that of the ordinary convict that we could not help noticing him particularly ; then we recognised the once eminent city merchant who was sentenced to transportation for fraud some months ago. He saw by oir look that we detected him even in his convict garb, and be hurried past us. "Yes, sir," said the warder, "the life here must be a great change for such as him especially. Some of the prisoners are better off than ever they were ; but a person like that one, who thought nothing of dealing to the extent of a quarter of a mil l lion a-day, must feel it sorely." This person. we were told, found special consolation in the study of languages, and on the table of his cell was a high pyramid of books, consisting of French and German exercises, with others of a rel,gious character. ACCIDENT TO A CUNAMD STEAMEIL—LIVEBPOOL, Wed nesday.—tl telegraphic despatch was this morning re ceived from Falmouth, stating that the Cunard's steam ship Z,bra, Captaie _Betts, from Havre, for Liverpool, had, during a dense fc run on the Lizard Point, yes terday morning. She' was much damaged, having knocked a hole in her bodtom.' Fortunately, there were no lives lost, the crew and passengers having been landed in safety. The cargo an it stores were being saved. The removal of the steamer from her position was deemed very problematic. The fogs in the neighbourhood hay., been very dense. Tie 3 Minho and Rattler, screw steamers, at this port leaving encountered very thick weather, the former had , when about 35 miles S.W., of Scilly, to keep her engirt es motionless for 12 hours, it being impossible to see tjarther than the ship's length, Til E LONDO TIITTII S_ 1 A P-Y.--El4 I N - JUJUY - 14. 185 THE JULY FETES AT BRUSSELS. BRUSSELS, July 22.—The King and royal family were last evening entertainel at a magnificent banquet offered by the members of the Senate and the Legislative Body in a temporary but elegant structure annexed to the Palais de la Nation. The banquet was attended not only by the mcmhers of the two chambers but by all the civil, m ilit ary, and ecclesiastical dignitaries of the kingdom. A grand concert of the lyric societies was given in the Place des Palais, and afterwards the same societies, having proceeded with their banners to the Palais de la Nation, gave a serenade to the King. The King, surrounded by the princes and princesses, and by some high State dignitaries, appeared on the balcony the moment after it comtnenced, and remained till the close. His Majesty and the royal family, though all were not a little fatigued, then visited a fete at Vauxhall iu the park, and promenaded round the enceinte, graciously saluting the visitors. The illustrious party afterwards returned to the palace ; it was then about half-past eleven. The evening was beautifully fine, and vast crowds filled the streets to a late hour, visiting the triumphal arches and other decorations. In the neighbourhood of the Palais de la Nation and the Vauxhall the crowd was so thick tbat it was almost impossible to force one's way through it ; and the desire to catch a sight of his Majesty was intense. The principal event in the programme of this day's fetes has thus far been a grand review by the King of the National Guards of the city and the neighbourhood, and of the regiments composii,g the garrison, together with some from neighbour ing towns, and deputations of all other regiments of the army. The precise number of men under arms is not stated; but it was very considerable in deed, the lines extending all along the Rue Royale and along most of the boulevards a vast distance. An immense crowd assembled to witness the re view. The King, accompanied tiy his two sons, all three in the uniform of Belgian generals, with the ribbon and star of the grand cross of the Or der of Leopold, and followed by a numerous and most brilliant staff, amongst whom .were the Earl of Westmorland and another English officer, and several officers of different Gerruan States—passed right down the lines from one end to the other ; and as he did so the troops and National Guards presented arms, the bands played the national air, and the drums beat aux champs. H aving com pleted his rid e d own the lines, the King, Princes, and the staff proceeded to the royal palace, and then the filing off of the National Guards and the troops took place. Both presented a brilliant appearance, and marched by the King in grand style ; but unfortunately the rain pelted down nearly the whole time of the filing off. "To-night there are to be general illuminations : and more concerts." 541,14. OF AUTOGRAPHS.—Yesterday Messrs.

TEM INSUiIIIECTION IN SPAIN.- (Prone the Times' Correspondent.) PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 6 P.M. The despatch of yesterday's date from St. Sebas tian, transmitted to you this morning by telegraph, shows the probability that the whol of Spain will very soon be submissive to the new government. It is likely enough that General Falcon, finding that he has no support to expect from Catalonia or the northern provinces, will come to terms. Letters of the 18th from Logrono represent that town as hay= ing the appearande of a. camp, the National Guard being all under arms, and having been joined by those of ,Navarrete, Najera, and some other place. General Gurrea had just arrived there to' take the command, but we know already that these prepara tions had no result, and that troops had entered Logrono unresisted. When Falcon learnsthis, and 'and that on a ll h an d s O'D onne ll i s i n the ascend ant, he will probably give in, stipulating, perhaps, for the restoration of his rank and honours, and impunity for those who have stood by him in his preparations for resistance. There are reports of his troops having abandoned him, but nothing posi tive is known from Saragossa; and the telegraph is still interrupted there, which shows that the authority of the Madrid Government is not yet re cognised in the place. Nothing further is known of Espartero, whose wife continues at Logrono. There is no confirmation of the statement that 85 members of the Cortes had assembled at Saragossa. At Madrid some arrests have been made, including- that of Senor Madoz. The intelligence to-day re ceived from Spain is generally meagre, and of slight interest. It has been said that the officers of the army and navy in Madrid at the time of the conflict, and who had not presented themselves to the govern ment to offer their services, are to be brought to a court-martial. Among these would be Zabala, Santa Cruz (Francisco), Lujan, and various other persons of note. But the statement is not strictly correct. They have been declared liable to be brought to a court-martial, but the probabilities are that nothing will be done to them, beyond leaving them without employment. Wolves do not eat one another, and the ups and downs of political life are so frequent in Spain that it is convenient and only prudent to show moderation in victory. The fate of these officers to-day may be that of O'Donnell's friends to-morrow. In the meantime, the turn out of employes, which is usually conse quent on a bouleversement of this kind, has com menced, and the Gazette of the 18th contains nu merous depositions and appointments. Embar rassed whom to select for Civil Governors of pro vinces, the Government has appointed the Mili tary Governors to act ad interim,. The details of the collision that took place in Madrid between the troops and National Guards are not very precise. It appears, however, that the latter fought without leaders, but remained together, particularly the more democratic sections. I regret to find it generally admitted that Espar tero was far from being equal to his position or to his duty during the crisis. His popularity has been indeed fatal to the Liberal party. He has, it is said, asked for Logrono as his residence. Two years of representative government in Spain —years of difficulty and peril, but not totally with out honour and patriotism—have perished in a single day ! The coup d'etat planned in the Palace, often announced as on the point of realia tion, and as often as solemnly denied in the name and On behalf of the Queen, and by none more solemnly and emphatically than General O'Donnell himself, who repeatedly declared in the Cortes that his head would be the first to fall if the reactionary party triumphed, has at last been accomplished.. Concocted in the Palace itself, it was easy to give it the semblance of legality, but no one will he the dupe of its hypocrisy. On the one hand, Espar tero, with the whole of the Ministers, is forced to quit the Government ; on the other, O'Donnell, who stood out alone in opposition to all his.col leagues, is invested with the confidence of the Crown, forms a Ministry in the middle of the night, and takes his new colleagues from an almost imper-_ ceptible minority in the Chamber—a minority that was only known by its undisguised hostility to the Constitution which a Constituent Cortes bad just voted. Military precautions had, as I have already shown, been taken during the same night to sup port the conspirators in the design, and to crush al resistance. That resistance lasted, however, under adverse circumstances for nearly two days ; but the result was what might have been expected when Madrid was the theatre of the struggle. A comparison between two such men as O'Don nell and Eipartero can hardly be made. Whatever be his merits or his shortcomings as a political man, Espartero is still the honest citizen, the paci ficator and lib era t or o f hi s country. Regent ana Dictator of Spain, he descended from his high place, quittedlpower, and went in to exile, rather than vio late a siegle article of the Constitution to which he had sworn. His exile was spent in England, where he learned the practice, as he had before admired the theory, of representative government ; and his srearest ambition was to endow his country with it. Espartero long occupied the highest posts to which a subject could aspire; yet he is a poor wan, .and he has not only refused all recompence which a grateful nation desired to confer upon hid', , ut he has never touched a real of his salary as President of the Council. - The personal courage of O'Donnell is unquestion fable, but it is not so much to that ordinary quality that he owes his brilliant career as to the favour and protection of Esparteio, who in 1838 appointed him Chief of his Staff. In 1840 O'Donnell em braced the cause of Maria Christina against the people and the army, and, abandoning his com mand, he emigrated with her to France. In 1841 be demanded permission to return to Spain as a friend to the established Government, and made the most solemn declarations of harbouring no de sign against the public tranquillity. Espartero, then Regent, would not believe that his old protege and favourite was again false ; and, ignorant of the plot formed for his own overthrow between him, Maria Christina and Louis Philippe, who was al ready projecting the Spanish marriages, freely allowed him to return. The price promised him, for taking part in the in surrection of 1843 against Espartero's Government was the Governor-Generalship of Cuba. That promise was fulfilled ; and the world has learnt from blue-books and debates in Parliament - the manner in which this grasping satrap exercised his command, and the immense fortune he and his wrung from the blood of the miserable race, the traffic in. which his Government had been long bound by treaty to put an end to. On his return to Madrid O'Donnell, in right .of his rank in the army, became a member of the Senate. Narvaez, whom he hated, and who Itated him, was then in power. To his rule none, except a few Pro , gresistas, dared to make the slightest opposition. O'Donnell announced that he was about to reinforce that Opposition, but be was silenced by the lucrative appointment of Director-a-eneral of Infantry. It was the place best suited for his future plans, as he could organise the army according to his pleasure. Narvaez soon saw the error he had committed, and Ire dismissed O'Donnell. Once more be rushed into the Opposition organised by Generals Concha, Serrano, &c., who accepted him as their leader. Maria Christina, as being the most vuln era bl e , was the great object of attack. Narvaez l e ft th e Minis try, and was once more exiled by Maria Christina, and neither O'Donnell nor the Conchas were called by her to power. The brave Murillo and Lsrsundi Ministries passed away, not without leaving traces of their baleful despotism. Sartorius (known as the Count San Luis) was named Minister, and the struggle became more desperate than ever. The scandals of La Granja are not yet forgotten, and the SpaniSh people have still fresh in their memory the debate on the railway concessions, in which General Concha denounced Maria Ci.r stina and her accomplices in a tone far surpassing the Corn mission of Inquiry after the death of Ferdinand ; and in that denunciaoion the whole of the Senate, composed as it was of Generals, Grandees, ex-M-, nisters, leading financiers, &c., joined and voted a g ainst the Administration of the detested Sarto rius. It will be well to remember that the Senate was no democratic or revolutionary body ; it was essentially the reflex of the Moderado party ; it was the issue of the constitution accorded by-Nar— vaez and Maria Christina ; and its members were exclusively named by the Crown. We remember the persecution' O'Donnell suffered from the Sartorius Government ; his concealment in Madrid ; bis military insurrection ; the combat of Vicalvaro ; his defeat and retreat in Andalusia ; his utter failure and impotence, and the famous Liberal manifesto which dread of apprpaching de struction extorted from him, and in which he made an appeal to the people to rise in defence of their liberties. He offered them his sword, and flung himself into the ranks of the Liberal party. O'Don nell was defeated and flying when that appeal was made; it was responded to by Espartero. Then, indeed, all was changed : city after city, village after village, from south tonorth, from east to west rose against the miserable crew who had oppressed, plundered, and degraded them. Espartero found the Queen besieged in her Palace in Madrid, and he saved her from public indignation by the pres tige of his name,' his honesty, his popularity. Espartero carried his generos i ty and his co fiding spirit to a point which deserves censure. Never . meaning bad faith hi mself, he did not suspect it in others. He had saved O'Donnell from ruin ; be now offered him the Portfolio of War. How many times in the course of two years has not Espartero covered his unpopular colleague with the buckler o - his own hones% and his own influence ! The presence of +'spartero,pcoduced a res I WILL ou the ( scandals of the Court ; and it was by him and bis, whom Maria Christina and her companions call the "enemies of the throne," that that throne has for the last two years been saved again and again. With the gradual restoration of older the mate' rial condition of Spain was beginning to improve. For more than a century—indeed, from the lime of Ferdinand VI , not even under Charles lII , ' who ruined the nation by the family compact, and who lost the South American colonies, had the Spanish Treasury a maravedi until the late admi nistration of Espartero. It is not many days since the Spanish papers announced that the Treasury had more than 1 00,000,000 reals in its cowers after having paid its current obFgations ; and for the last two months the Government had in Paris more than the amount necessary for the payment of the interest on the foreign debt. Foreign capi' talists had begun to invest large sums in industrial enterprises in Spain ; confidence was gradually growing up at home, and would soon extend abroad ; and when the Government lately wished to convert 200,0a0,000 rea l s o f t h e fl oating d e bt into Three par Cent. Consolidated, they found more than the sum they wanted, and at a highter rate than what they themselves had fixed. . There is a difference of opinion as to whether the French Government connived at the act which has just been perpetrated in Madrid. I believe that some who must suffer personally and politically by the overthrow of the Liberal Government acquit the E iiperor of participation in it. Bat the same acquittal ought not, it is said, to be extended to his representative in Madrid. It is possible, too, that some acts of indiscretion have been committed by certain persons belonging to the Court of the Tuileries—persons whose influence ought naturally to stand very high. It would be well if an inquiry were institty ed by the Emperor as to who sent , without the loss of a moment, to General Narvaez, and through him to Maria Christina, at not - millet the telegraphic despatch announcing the rising of_ Saragossa against Oaniuell, and on the receipt of which Ararvaez instantly set out for the frontier. The Emperor had better look to it. Public opinion will make him accountable for the acts of those who are in constant intercourse with h;m ; and he will do-well to remember that the revival of the phial of Louis Philippe in Spain will but increase his unpoptilarity in both capitals. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 6 P.M. The Spanish revolution is entering that phase through which all Spanish revolutious inevitably pass, and which is by f ar th e mos t agreea bl e p a rt of the busineis to the parties concerned. The hour arrives for the distihution of honours and rewards, rank and ribands. The bell has rung for the serving out of what Spaniards call turron. Turron is a sweet meat composed of nuts and honey, and the term is playf ally and figurati velyapplied to the recompences bestow on disinterested patriots and loyal defeue ders of the Throne. It seems that in Spain people so seldom do their duty that, when they do, they are considered to have a right to reward. And the right is specially urged and recognised on the mor row of a political convulsion. This was never more strongly exemplified than after the revolu tion of 1854. The Moderados used to have the reputation of particular greediness on such 0 0 ' casions, but when the Progresi s t as , a ft er eleven years exclusio n f rom p ower, got the upper handl' they showed that their appetite, sharpened by long fasting, was quite as good, and their countenance quite as unblushing as that of their political adversaries. Scandalous and disgusting was the avidity with which they pressed f 1 r rewards for services real or imaginary. The highest set them the example. The Vicalvarists—that is to sah O'Donnell and the officers who revolted with hire, and who took their name from the paltry skirmish of Vicalvaro, exalted into a desperate engagement by tlloae who took part in it—had pledged them' selves to derive no personal advantage from the revolution, and Dulce, taxed with having sought his own gain by the most deliberate treachery to the - Government lie served, wag particularly energetic in repudiating all reward. Nevertheless, not one of • thoseenen hut received advancement and decors tioiis, au4 Ditlee, within a month after the triumph of the reiiilutire, was a Grand Cross and a L tenant-General, ,gyeryhody W4B rewarded at that time ; some for assisting the revolution—others for not opposing it--others, who had done nothing because they had been patriots' a' long time ago- - many for no other - .reason than because they were friends of Eapartero or beloved of O'Don nell. Men who were never seen so long as fight ing was going on, but who afterwards stood behind neatly-built barricades, making, as the Portuguese say, " ferocious faces to the enemy," were' constant haunters of Ministerial ante-chambers until their services were recognised and required. The whole of the National Guard of Madrid was decorated at one fell swoop ; throughout the whole army there was a step of promotion ; the accoutrement makers were unable to meet_ tne demand for epaulets. Accordingly, . we hap already of promotions and high favours flowing abundantly from the inexhaustible cornucopia of Royal bounty ; and more gladly, we may he very sure, are they dis pensed than those that issued from the same source in 1854. Ser - rano, the Queen's early favourite, is made Field-Marshal. General M tcOrohon ' O'D nell's second at the Minist r y o f W ar, i s to,be Lieu tenant-General. General Armor°, who Wept down Valladolid, receives similar advancement. Henry O'Donnell the Marshal's_ brother, a Colonel the other day, now a Brigadier, is to be Major-General. High favours are reserved for Ros de Olano, Duke , Messina, and Cenchi. It seems a sort of fashion in Spain for politico-military cliques to take their names from unsuccessful or insignificant battles. Thus, we formerly had the Ayacuchos, who, in Espartero's early days of power, were supposed to monopolise influence and all good things, and nOW there are the Vicalvarists, who seem walking in the same path. OPENING OF THE SAILORS' INSTITUTE, SHADWELL. —Yesterday, the new luilding for the Sailors' Institute, Mercer-street, Shadwell (iu connection with the Bri' tish and Foreign Sailors' Society), was publicly opened by the Right Hon. W. F. Cowper, M.P., in the pr e : sence of a l argo num b er of clergymen, ladies, and gentlemen. A group in marble, representing "Queen Hortense in' structing Prince Louis Nsnoleon in 1822," has ju,t been placed in the Museum of Versailles. It is from the c hisel o IT Oh frrnir.“.. nnri w-,s -ceof th- oraaments of the Universal Exhibition of the Fine Arts. EMPLOYERS AND EMPLoYED.—Onu of those delightful meetings, when masters and servants make common cause together, took place on Tuesday at the Crystal Po' lace. on which occasion Messrs. W. H. Smith and Son, the railway news agents, entertained the several bands employed in their London establishment, numbering nearly 180, with a most excel l ent cold collat i on , under the directio n o f th e M essrs. Staples. The arrangeme nts were all that cou ld b e w i shed. Mr. Smith, ju n: , pres ided, accompanied by severa l f r i en d s and mem b ers o f his family, and a f ter t h e usual loyal toasts bad been pr o" posed, the h ea l t h o f " the Firm " was given, and rec eived in such a manher by the bands as must have proved most gratifying to those who bad shown so much care for the welfare • f their servants. Mr. Smith, senior, from ill-health, did nut arrive until nearly four o'clock, but his appearance on the field, where cricket, quoits , bat and trap, an d . o th er amusements had been Pr vi t cled ' was the signal f or suc h a b urst of applause a We °a" seldom met with, and w hi c h i n d eed seemed gal 4 " for the moment to overpower him. At seven lea pro viled ; after which the company epj , yed iLe 9sautiful cenery of the grounds, and returned by the last train to LondorL hitfhly delighted with the enj •yinent they had experienced, and truly grateful for the liberality of their employers. POSTAL CONVENTION WITH MEXICO.—The following are the most important provisions of the new postal con vention between Mexico and the United States. M a ils once a week or oftener are to be conveyed between New Orleans and the Gulf of Alexico, by the steamers of' the " United Arnericao and Mexican Steam-ship Mail Com p Any." The Mexican Government is to pay a subsidy to the company of 15,0001. a-year, to be raised by im p irt duties on merchandise conveyed by the mail packets. Half the number of packets are to sail under the Mexi ean fi ig, and the other half under the United States flag. They, are to be a Ispted for war service and the convey ;thee of troops. Neither Mexico nil. the United States is to convey its own troops in the packets beyond the limits of its territory. In case of war between the two republics the mail service is not to be interrupted. The packets may convey foreign and national merchandise into any of the Mexican ports. Ike .ea postage to be 31d. on the A oz, letter. The charge for periodicals is 2d. each; pamphlets and pr i nted matter Ad. per oz. The postmasters general of Mexico and the 'United States have power to establish an united line of mail steamers on the Pacific. Hitherto the mail communication be tween New Orleans and the Mexican Gulf has been tri monthly, and the sea postage sd. This convention will reduce the postage on letters between England and Mexico via the United States. I 3 IPROVE3IENTS ON THE TYNE.—We understand tha t it has been dFtertnined by the Piers and Public Works Committee of the Commissioners of the River Tyne t ° , submit t o t h at b oard a project for going to ParliaineDv next session to procure powers to make another new public dock on that river for the shipment of coal. The. site projected is the Coble De an i n Shi e ld s h ar b our , ana if made it will be principally used in shipping steam coal from the Hartley coal field. The Northumberlan d Dock, which is being made by the commissioners for the s same purpose, is making sati s f ac t ory progress, an d it is anticipated will be opened i n th e spr i ng of 1857. The works of the Jarrow Docks, which the North-Easter n _ Railway Company is makin g upon t h e Durham s id e of the Tyne, are advancing most satisfactorily, and when the whole of those great wor k s are finished it is antici pated that facilities will be afforded for the shipment of above 3 ; 000,000 tons o f coa l i n the year. The exten sive marine works, the north and south piers at the mou th of the Tyne, which have been undertiken by the River_ Tyne Improvement C omm i ssioners, are being procee d e d with this summer. The public works now in hand upon the Tyne, and projected, are estimated at abod e 3,000,000/, sterling. A LATEST N,_1174 WS. --- THE SPANISH INSURRECTION. (Front the Second Edition of the Morning Pest.) PARIS, THURSDAY, 9 A.M. The Moniteur says : " The last news from BarcQlona announce that the conflict there was very keen, but that the success of the Queen's troops may be considered is secured. The fire lasted on the 18th from 5 in the evening till midnight ; on the 19th it was resumed from the morning till 8 p.m. ; on the 20th it lasted the whole day ; on the 21st, from morning till 5 p.m. " On this last day, the insurgents having been lriven from the streets of the Union, and from the Rue Neuve of the Rambla, and from the Hos-- pital de la Junquera, their principal positions, betook themselves to the country. They were pursued thither by the cavalry, which sabred them. Gerona and La Junquera are still in a date of insurrection. Tranquillity prevails at Figueras. The garrison is ready to fire on the ,ceurrenee of the slightest movement. " It is thought that the victory obtained at Bar celona will arrest the other movements of Catalonia." BERLIN, JULY 22. Since the evacuation of Kars, a certain agita ion is remarked amongst the Kurds of Upper Armenia. A Russian army, under the command of Gene ral Thruleff, has taken up a position along the rontier. The Armenian Archbishop of Karapet has ex. pined at Achalzig. SPAIN. DEPARTURE OF FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE SPANISH FRONTIER. BOULOGNE, July 23.—The division encamped at Wimereux is under orders to leave to-day en route for the Spanish frontier. It consists mainly of Chasseurs. The movement is doubtless in conse quence of the threatening aspect of affairs in the Peninsula. The camp huts, &c., are to be sold, according to present arrangements. Marshal Bara guay d'Hilliers wishes to have them preserved, thinking they may be useful next year for exercis ing the troops. The camp of Honvault will be dis persed, it is expected, in October. The Semaphore de Marseille, of July 21, says : It is announced that a corps of observation is about to be formed on the Pyrenean frontier. A "cer tain number of regiments" have been ordered to march towards the neighbouring departments. The 37th regiment of the line left this town on Satur day for Montpelier, where it will, replace troops that are going to the frontier. [The above shows the importance of the move ment, and the insincerity of the statement of the Constitutionnel, that a single brigade was all that would be sent.] The .Yieole of yesterday has this from a private correspondent in London : " We have received this instant the following information, which comes to us from a source gene rally well informed. " The English government yesterday received a despatch from Mr. Otway, who, in Lord Howden's ab'sence, represents England at Madrid. This lespatch was very important, and according to what is said to-night it left the impression that Marshal O'Donnell's situation was less favourable :.ban had been supposed. "In consequence of this despatch, orders were sent by telegraph to Lord Howden, whatever night be his state of health, to return instantly to ilia post, passing by way of S'aragossa ; and he was informed that he should there receive despatches from his government, as well as despatches from 4r. Otway." Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte arrived at Bayonne on Saturday, and after a few hours' ,tay left for Spain. The civil and military autho r•it.ies of Irun being informed of his expected arri val, awaited him at the gates of the town in official costume. The Prince, born on Jan. 4, 1813, is son of Lucien, brother of Napoleon I. Marshal Narvaez also also arrived on Saturday At Bayonne, with the intention of offering his ser vices to the Queen of Spain. In place of going forward, he has despatched an aide-de-camp with a letter to her Majesty, stating that he will await her orders either to go forward to Madrid or to re turn to Paris. " Marshal Narvaez," says the Assemblee Na tionale, " has been appointed ambassador of Spain at Paris, in the place of M. Olozaga. We do not know if the Marshal will accept the high Functions conferred on him, butq should he do so, we may be satisfied that the policy of the new government will be entirely and exclusively con servative." General Prim is now at Marseilles. It was believed there that he intended to embark from that port to return to Valencia, of which province he was captain-general, but from the functions of which post he has been relieved by the decree which, as has been mentioned, appeared in the Madrid Gazette of the 17th. The .Pays contains the following :—" The insur rection of Aragon is confined to the chief town ( f the province. It is said that the Government, at the last council, decided that the most stringent measures should be adopted to put down the revolt. Orders were consequently given to that effect to General Dulce, who has been appointed Captain- General of Aragon in the room of General Falcon. He is to march on Saragossa with 42,000 men, fur nished in part by the garrison of Madrid, and two siege trains. He will take possession of the posi tions of Monte Terrero and the fort of Aljuferta, commanding the town, and which are only de fended by a small force. He will then invest the city, and summon the insurgents to sur render, and on their refusal he will open a tire from the forts. No doubt is entertained at Madrid of the success of this plan. General Falcon bad in Saragossa a force of only 3,000 men and some battalions of militia. One of the generals who was under his orders remained faith ful to the Queen, and retired into the country at. the bead of 1,500 men. In presence of these facts, he inhabitants of Saragossa, not being supported from without, must submit. General Dulce, under all circumstances, has orders not to come to any engagement in the town, but to act with his artil lery. General Armer o , Captain General of Valla dolid, ha. just published a tresh proclamation, the severity of which is warranted by the state of anar chy which exists in that city. Every act of in ceudiarism,' he says, wherever it may be commit ted, will be punished with death ; the persons caught in flagrante delicto will be executed the moment their iudividuality shall have been proved, and they will merely have a respite of three hours allowed them to receive the consolations of re " 'Tee Madrid papers of the 19th, due' this morn ing, have not reached us, but a private letter of the same dat e says spartero is still here, of his own free will. The trial by court-martial of the ex-Minister Lujan is a mere invention. Upwards of 150 persons arrested at the Post-office with arms in their hands have beeu set at liberty ; these still in custody are common offenders. The official ac count of the losses of the troops is as follows : killed, 6 officers and 32 privates ; wounded, 19 officers and 202 privates; missing, 2 privates. There were six horses killed and 16 wounded. The loss of the National Guard is not exactly known. The _ _ last accounts from Aragon would - appear to be rather unfavourable, as largo forces have been di rected from every quarter against that province. From Saragossa we learn that Gen. Falcon has seen part of the trQops under his command desert from him. Murcia has declared against the Govern ment, but that province inspires but little uneasi ness. There are still great changes being made among the Government functionaries. The policy of the present Government may be stated as follows :-1. No bloodshed for mere political punishment. Capital punishment to be reserved for common crimes committed under the cloak of political opinions. 2. Conciliation and toleration. 3. Moderate Progressists not to be excluded from public functions. 4. The constitution to be pub lished. 5. The Constituent Cortes to be dissolved, and ordinary Cortes convoked. 6. The National Guard to be re-organised on a reduced scale. 7. Political prosecutions brought before the Cortes against previous governments and certain persons connected with them to be put a stop to. 8. Endeavours to obtain the modification of some articles of the constitution, and certain adminis• • tialive .— principle, , . Lastly, the same aclininistra• tine system as before to be followed." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. " Nothing is talked of at Ptutnbieres," says the rourrier des Vosges, " but the benefits which the Emperor is continually spreading around him, and which will perpetuate the remembrance of his so journ in our mountains. Touched with the po verty of the communes near Plombieres, and par ticularly of those of Clerjus and Bellefontaine, his Majesty lately sent for their mayors, and en tered into an examination with them as to the best means to be adDpted to effectually assist the poorer elapses. After a long conference, the Emperor decided that a Bureau de Bienfaisance should be created in each of the communes, and gave to each of the mayors a sum of 10,000 f. for the execution of this plan.

We learn from Vienna that the greatest alarm prevails there lest the Spanish insurrection should produce a ferment in Italy. An intention to for tify Parma is talked of. Count Crenneville, the Commandant of the Austrian troops at Parma, is to be replaced by General Baumgartner, a -man of more energy. Hitherto, it has been said that Count Crenneville's successor was to be chosen for his conciliatory qualities. A. semi-official version of the Note recently addressed by the Austrian Government to the Neapolitan re presents it as more threatening than was supposed. The note states that, in consequence of the recep tion given by Naples to the representations of the Western powers, Austria will hold herself passive whatever may occur. A. letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that several changes are in contemplation among the superior functionaries of the Ministry of Finance. These changes are said to be co nnec t e d with the important modifications which have been recently introduced into the financial administra tion of Austria. The departure of Prince Paul Esterhazy for Moscow is fixed for the 23d inst. THE TWO SICILIES. NAPLES, July 17th—The walls of Naples have been again placarded, and the following proclama tion has been most extensively circulated through out the capital and the provinces. It runs as follows : Neapolitans,—Your cruel and painful sufferings have been so long prolonged, and have been supported with so much dignity, as to have awakened the sympathy of the di plomacyof Europe. Yet, comparatively speaking, she has not known, nor can she know, buten infinitely small part of what you suffer. Now that a prosperous breeze begins to inspire us with the hope that the triumph of justice and legality is not far distant ; now that by visible signs the head of God weighs heavily on perjured administrations, the dishonour of the people confided to them, we turn to you with that same serenity of mind which has never de serted us amidst the vicissitudes of fortune, or the pre dominance of passions hostile to the most holy prin. ciples. The time is not far distant, perhaps, when this your country will be the theatre of new events—attend them with the same dignified and noble tranquillity of which up to the present time you have given such splendid proofs. When circumstances shall be changed, show that you are not like slaves who have broken your chains, but free men, who feel all the value of their liberty, who are conscious of their rights, who desire the reign of legality and justice, and do not run madly through the regions of Utopia, and of vain fantasies. Do not dissemble from yourselves a single one of your past errors, and by not dis sembling them you will give the surest pledge that they will not be repeated. Be united in the one desire fora constitu tional legality, and for an administration which will main tain it intact and inviolate. Respect the rights of all. Be not unjust towards those who have preserved their devo tion to the duties of military discipline—who, no less than you, have execrated the general injueti.•e, and who deserve for many reasons your affection and esteem. The honour of our common country is specially confided to their hands; and under a juster and more enlightened govern ment, rivals of their companions in Piedmont, who have galled for the Italian cause the sympathies of Enrope, they will not shrink from preserving it lucent laminate against the ambition of foreign arms. Union and tran quillity ! this is what we shall never cease to urge upon you, and leave to your enemies the remorse o. hiving trampled on the work of God, and that vindictive fury which is the surest indication of their own weakness Thus only shall we be able to promise that God will be with us, and to hope for the triumph of a cause which is undoubtedly the most holy and the most just. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY M.RNING. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, Captain Curistian, with the Peninsular mails, we have dat s from Gibraltar, July 15th ; Cadiz, 16th ; Lisbon, 19th ; Vigo and Oporto, 20th. The Tagus brings 77 passengers, 2,2421. specie, and the usual cargo. The mail steamer Madrid arrived at Vigo from Southampton, with the outward Peninsular mail, on the 20th inst. The French man-of-war Prince Jerome was at Lisbon when the Tagus left. The King of Portugal had visited the ship, on board of which he met the British, French, and Russian Ministers. ;The Lisbon exchanges at three months are quoted this mail at 54 on London, with a scarcity of paper; Hamburg 481, Amsterdam 43/, Geneva 518, and Paris 522 ; paper generally being unequal to the demand. The Stock market was firm, with few sellers, at 431 to 44 for Three per Cents. ; Bank of Portugal Shares, 493 to 495 milreis each, ex dividend ; and Oporto Bank Shares, 19 to 20 per cent. p'rem. The Cortes was to close on the 20th inst. Cho lera had decreased. The Marchioness De Ribeira died from the disease on the 19th.
