(From the - Quarterly Return of the Registrar-General.) This return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during the spring quarter that ended on June 30, 1856; and the mar riages in 12,18Ochurches or chapels, about 3,754 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 628 superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on March 31st, 1856. The marriage rate, which was low, is now slightly above the average rate ; the birth rate is high, and the death rate is low, so that the state of the population, in the light of these returns, is favourable. MARRIAGES. 66,776 persons were married in the three months of January, February, and March. The annual rate in the quarter was 707 marriages to every 100,000 of the popula tion ; while the rate in the winter of 1835 was 631 (or less by 1-10th), and the average rate of the preceding winter quarters was 704. The marriages (33,388) were more by 4 527 than the marriages (29,131) in the winter quarter of 1853; and the increase is a sure indication of the pro sperity of the country. The increase of marriages is ob served in every division. The excess in the numbers in Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Hull is probably due to the return of our gallant seamen from the Black *la and the Baltic. • BIRTHS. - 173,234 boys and girls were born alive and registered in the spring quarter that ended on the last day of June, giving an increase of 7,954 children on the numbers of the corresponding quarter of 1855. It is the spring quarter in which the greatest number of births generally occurs ; and this number is the highest that has ever been returned in England. The number of registered births rose from 136,911 in the spring quarter of 1844 to 173,204 in the last spring quarter. BANKRUPTS.

As the number of births was 173,264, and the number of deaths 100,310, the natural increase of the, population of England was 72,891 in the three months of April, May, and June ; so 1,903 lives were added, 1,102 were taken away, daily; leaving 801 as the daily increase. But in the same three months 60,379 emigrants left the ports of the united kingdom at which Goveznment agents are stationed; and of that number about 21,304 were of English origin. England, exclusive of Scotland and Ireland, sent about 234 emigrants daily over the seas to Australia, to the United States, and to the North American colonies. Of the immigrants who enter England from Scotland, Ireland, and other parts no statistical records are kept. • The emigration from the ports of the united kingdom is less by nearly 6,000 than the emigration (66,111) in the spring quarter of 1855, and is less than half the average emigration (113,141) of the corresponding quarters of the eight years 1817-54., THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS, AND THE WEATHER. The prices of some of the principal articles of food are shown below, with a view of determining the effect of their variations on the births, deaths, and marriages. During the last three months wheat was sold, on an average, at the rate of 68s Sd per quarter; York regent potatoes, at 80s per ton, at the waterside market, South wark ; bsef at sid per Ib, mutton at bid per lb, in the Leadenhall and Newgate-markets. The price of wheat in the corresponding three months of 1854, 1855, and 1856 declined from 78s 4d to 68, 83, or nearly 10s per quarter. Potatoes fell from 155, to 80s per ton; beef fell only from 5d to 51,1 per lb. Mutton, on •the other hand, rose from sid to sjd perlb. Upon the whole, the prices of articles'of most extensive consumption as food declined. The value of the public securities rose. The mean temperature at Greenwich was 52°3, the fall of rain 7.4. STATE OF TUE PUBLIC HEALTH. The deaths in the , three spring months were 100,310 ; and the annual mortality was at the , rate of 2'117 per cent., or nearly 21 in 1,000, the average annual rate of the sea son being nearly 23 in 1,000. The mortality has beon dur ing the whole of the half-year ranch below the average rate. The mortality in the spring quarter among the people living in the districts and the sub-districts comprising the chief towns of England was at tbe annual rate of 23.85 (nearly 24) per 1,000. The mortality of the rest of the people in the small towns and in the country parishes was at the annual rate of 18 . 78 (nearly 19) per 1,000. The rate of mortality is in both classes of districts below the aver age, but the reduction of the rate is less considerable in the town than in the country populations. The changes in the diseases and the low mortality that has reigned in London have been noticed in the weekly tables. The salutary effects of the improved water supply and of other sanitary measures in Bermondsey are pointed out by one of the registrars. As similar improvements in Lambeth and other districts are referable to the same causes, the whole of the results can be collected and dis cussed most conveniently together when a greater number of facts has accumulated. The deaths (8,158) in the south-eastern counties are below the average number, and nearly a thousand less than the deaths in the spring quarter of tha previous year. In Kent the deaths slightly exceeded the average; in Surrey, Sussex, Hants, and Berke the decrease was well marked. Scarlatina and measles prevailed in some districts of Kent; at Faversham malignant scarlatina, prevailed through the whole quarter, and the deaths were nearly doubled. The registrar of Newport, in the Isle of Wight, states that he has registered four deaths from smallpox in the Parkhurst barracks. In the Isle of Wight generally, in the New Forest, and in some other districts of the division, the mortality has been at as low a rate as 16 in 1,000. The south midland counties were generally in a healthy state; the deaths in the quarter were 6,270. In Oxford shire, Northamptonshire, and Huntingdonshire the mor tality was nearly at the average rate ; in Buckinghamshire and in Cambridgeshire the rate of mortality was much below the ivei:age. Smallpox was very prevalent in Northampton, and the deaths from all causes were 265 ; so the mortality was at the annual rate of nearly 35 in 1,000. At Cambridge the deaths during the last three spring quarters were 155, 150, and 101. The register of St. Andrew's, Cambridge, says— " The decrease in the deaths compared with those of the same quarter in 1855 speaks well for the healthy con dition of this district, and may in some measure be ac counted for by the introduction of a large and constant supply of water last autumn in pipes from a distance of two or three miles, which will not only be the means of great comfort and convenience to the inhabitants, but will also materially assist in cleansing the town. Scarlatina appears to be the most prominent, if not the only, disease among children." The beneficial effects of a constant supply of pure water on the health of th• town populations become every day more apparent. The deaths in the eastern counties were 5,758, while the numbers in the previous spring quarter were 6,194. The mortality was low in Norwich. Scarlatina in a severe form prevailed in Epping, Great Warley, Bradwoll, Hemp stead (parish), South Walsham, and Millington. The fishermen in King's Lynn North refuse generally to have their children vaccinated, and 10 died of small-pox. The southwestern counties lost 8,516 of the inhabitants by death ; but the mortality was low in every county, and the deaths were 1,177 less than the deaths in the spring quarter of 1855. At Trowbridge, in Wilts, it is gratifying to find that many families have removed with the best effect from unhealthy yards to healthy cottages, with small gardens attached, in the outskirts of the town. the im provement of the houses is sure to be followed by the lie provement of the inhabitants. The pernicious effects of the night soil, which is still left under the houses in our towns, have been fatally proved in Poole, where three men died from descending in the vaults. The registrar remarks —" If the machine with hose had been used this sad re sult, which has rendered seven children fatherless and three wives widows, could not have occurred." In proceeding northwards the diminution in the morta- lity of the divisions is less considerable. In Staffordshire the deaths (4,081) are rather more numerous than the deaths in the provious spring quarter, but in the other counties of the west midland division the deaths exhibit a decrease. 1,133 deaths were recorded in the Birmingham district. Smallpox, scarlatina, and measles prevailed in some districts. In the north midland counties 6,290 deaths were regis tered. In Lincolnshire a remarkable decreased is observed in the deaths, which were 2,057, 2,251, and 1,714 in the three last spring quarters. The deaths in the north-western division were 16,038-- namely, 2,318 in Cheshire, and 13,770 in Lancashire. The numbers are a little below the average. Liverpool and West Derby exhibit a gratifying decrease in the mortality; the deaths in the two districts were 2,799 to a population of 411,515 in 1851. The registrar of the West Derby sub district makes the following remarks ; "My district during the whole of the quarter has been in a more healthy state than at any former period ; so much so that during the week ending Saturday,the 24th of May, there were only three deaths in the whole sub-district, which, at the census of 1851, contained 33,013 inhabitants, and there will he an increase on that number of at least 5,000 since that time. The township of West Derby has always been noted as the most healthy locality in the vici nity of Liverpool, and this usually favourable state of the district is further improved by the excellent system of draining, flowering, and cleansing the streets that has been adopted. The births have for some time past been double the number of the deaths, owing to the healthy state of district and the increased population." Sanitary measures in Liverpool will, we may hope, hence forward reduce the high mortality which h as re i gne d there, and to which the attention of the authorities was first called in these reports. 10,689 deaths were registered in Yorkshire, and of that number 1,358 occurred in Bradford, to a population of 181,961 in 1851; 1,217 were registered in Leeds and Hunslet ; 695 were registered in Sheffield. The 5,834 deaths in the northern counties slightly ex ceed in number the deaths 'in either of the two previous spring quarters. Smallpox and scarlatina have prevailed. Vaccination is evidently neglected among the colliers. Tha mortality increased in Durham and in Northumber land, decreased in Cumberland and in Westmoreland. In Wales and Monmouthshire 6,781 deaths were regis tered ; the deaths in the previous spring quarter were 7,392. Smallpox and scarlatina have prevailed epidemi cally in some districts. At this season of the year, when many people are tra velling! on th• continent, as well as in England, it may be useful to state tlsat it is nor well established by extensive observation that England is the healthiest "country in Europe. France stands next to England in salubrity. In the continental cities the annual rate of mortality is sel dom less than 30 in 1,000 ; and the rate frequently rises to 40 in 1,000. In London the rate of mortality is 23 in "COO. On an average of 10 years (1841-50) the mortality was at the annual rate per 1,000 of 15 in three English 'districts, 16 in 14 districts, 17 ih 47 districts, 18 in 87 districts. These facts prove that the climate of England is eminently salubrious ; and it has not yet been shown that the climate of any part of the continent is equally or more salubrious than this island, crowned with hills of moderate elevation, sloping towards the east and south ; bathed by the showers of the Atlantic, drained naturally by rivers - running short courses to the sea, cultivated more extensively than other lands, and producing those unequalled breeds of sheep, cattle, and horses, which flourish only in healthy places. The healthiest parts of England are not yet places of general resort, but the annual mortality in the various districts comprising watering places seldom exceeds 21 in LOCO of the population, and is probably lower in those regions of the districts to which visitors resort. Hastings, Brighton, the Isle of Wight, Worthing, Mutford. (includ ing Lowestoft), Newton Abbot, Barnstaple (including Ilfracombe), Bath, and Cheltenham have experienced low rates of mortality during the spring quarter ; and it should be always borne in mind in selecting places of resort that through the peculiar nature of zymotic diseases places usually healthy are periodically visited by epidemics, which can only be avoided by consulting recent returns, or by actual inquiries on the spot. The cleansing and the sewerage of all watering places require improvement, as their arrangements were made when sanitary science was at a low ebb. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From, the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The mortality in London is below the usual average rate which prevails within its limits. In the week that ended on Saturday, 995 persons—of whom 487 were males, and 508 females—died. The total number diff4irs little from that of the preceding week, which was 1,018. The corrected average of the corresponding weeks of the previous 10 years was 1,213. But this result represents more than the nominal rate of mortality, in consequence of cholera, which was epidemic in 1849 and 1854, having carried off in the corresponding weeks of those years about 916 persons. Of the 995 persons who died, 522 were under 20 years of age; 147 were 20 and under 40, 146 were 40 to 60, 146 were 60 to $O, and 34 were 80 years of age and upwards ; 278 perions died of zymotic diseases, including 11 by cholera, 71 by diarrhoea, 20 by small.pos, 45 by measles, 19 by scarlatina, 43 by typhus, &c. Ten of the deaths by cholera are returned as infantile cholera, and occurred to children under two years of age. , The deaths from diarrhea have increased from 15 1 weekly in June, to 29, 48, 62 in July, and in the last week to 71. Of 90 deaths assigned to diseases of the res piratory organs, 41 were caused by bronchitis, 42 by pneumonia, 4 by asthma, 3 by pleurisy, laryngitis, &c. Phthisis was fatal in 120 cases. Half of the deaths that happen on an average in London between the ages of 20 and 40, are from consumption and diseases of the respiratory organs. The deaths from these diseases in the last week were 65 ' • the deaths from all °tbs./. digaases at th e s am e period of life were 82. The deaths from consumption and from other dieeases of the respiratory organs, at all ages, were 220. The majority of these diseases arise from constitutional conditions, and from the ordinary elements of insalubrity —but there can be no doubt that the dirty dust suspend ed in the air, that the people of London breathe, often excites diseases of the respiratory organs. The dirt of the streets is produced and ground now by innumerable horses, omnibuses, and carriages ; and then beat up in fine dust, which fills the mouth and inevitably enters the air passages in large quantities. The dust is not removed every day, but, saturated with water in the great thoroughfares, sometimes ferments in damp wea ther, and at other times ascends again under the heat of the summer sun as atmospheric dust. The natural remedies would apparently be to transfer from the principal thoroughfares ROlllO of the immense traffic by horse-carriages to railways, and to keep the streets, by daily cleansing, as clean as the streets are kept in some of the continental towns. The inhabitants of London would then net have to dread diseases as fatal as the " grinders' rot," or the "miners' asthma," from mechanical impurities of the air they breathe. Last week the births of 844 boys and 764 girls, in all 1,608 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1846 55 the average number was 1,394. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean reading of the barometer was 29.733 in. for the week ending the 26th July ; the sky for the most part was overcast with occasional showers. L'ghtning was fre quent at night on Wednesday, with thunder, which was also heard on Saturday. Electricity was positive through. out the week except Sunday. The atmosphere was warm, and the average temperature was 2.3 deg. in excess on the average derived from the same week for the last 38 years. The mean daily temperature was 64.2 deg., or about 4 deg. above the temperature of the week pre.i ceding. The thermometer rose to 83.0 deg. on Wednes day ; from this point it fluctuated, and descended to 49.8 deg. on Saturday. The average dew-point was 6.0 deg. below the air temperature, and showed a difference of between 8 and 9 deg. on Friday and Saturday, con sequently the air was drier on those days than during the preceding part of the week. The direction of the wind was chiefly from the south-west, and passed over Greenwich at rates averaging 86 miles daily.

Mr. C. W. M'Cloud, a clerk in an ecclesiastical office, de posed that on Thursday last he met the deceased and his brother, Mr. Edward Norris, at the Ship Tavern, Lambeth, where they hired a boat, and proceeded up the river. On returning, witness and Mr. Edward Norris rowed, while the deceased steered. When be tween the bridge and the intended new bridge, the deceased's brother suddenly said, "Pull hard ; we are in for it now," and immediately afterwards the boat struck against a barge, and turned completely over. It was quite dark at the time, but witness, when he rose, saw both his companions holding by the boat, which was bottom upwards. The deceased said, " S ave Edward !" The boat commenced turning over and over, and then drifted down the tide. The deceased was un fortunately drowned, but a boat from the shore saved witness and Mr. Edward Norris. At the time of the accident, although it was quite dark, a young water man, named John Farr, and Thomas Cook, D. w a t c h man belonging to the new bridge, promptly put off in a boat en hearing the alarm, and after considerable time gal lantly succeeded in rescuing Mr. MiClowl and Mr. Edward Norris from their dangerous position. The jury returned g Verdict of "Accidental death," [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5D- TIIE SHIPIV.RIGHTS' STRIKE. The Jersey shipwrights and others who have been engaged by Messrs Young, Son, and Magnay, as substi tutes for the London Uaion men on strike, resumed their work yesterday, in Li me h ouse D oc k, an d were not interrupted or ill-used ; but owing to the threats of the union men, their savage and outrageous conduct to the men from the outports on Saturday, and the general hostile attitude of the union shipwrights, 100 police-Con stables, under the control of Mr. Howie, Superintendent of the K division, were stationed in and about Messrs. Young's premises the whole of the day, and a large re serve of the Thames po ice in Wapping, the M division in Southwark, the H division in Whitechapel, and the G division in Finsbury, were assembled at the respec tive station-houses the whole of Monday and yesterday, and will be mustered again to day. Sir Richard Mayne and Captain Harrison (assistant commissioner of police) visited Limehouse on Monday, and the most perfect arrangements have been made for the preservation of the public peace, and to secure the freedom of labour, and the free exercise of the will of those who think proper to accept the terms offered by Messrs. Young, eon, and Magnay. Some of the new hands from Southampton, who were cruelly mat -treat. ed by the London men on Saturday, being afraid of a repetition of this outrage, did not came to work on Monday ; but having ascertained that they would be effectually protected by the police and by their new masters, resumed their work yesterday morning. In the course of the day a -notice, arm ponied-onetheegaten of -Messra. - -Young;"Siti, nay's premises, requesting all the workmen on strike who had left their tools in the yard when the turn-out took place to fetch them away. This looks as the firm were determined not to employ the old hands again ; indeed, the places of a great many of them have been filled up by the Jersey hands, 50 in number, and by shipwrights from the outports. Four of the men who were attacked and beaten in so cowardly a manner by the London union shipwrights on Saturday were under medical treatment until yesterday, when two of them resumed their labours. The others are reported to be going on favourably. Mr. George Frederick Young, the principal of the firm, ever a good friend to the work ing classes, and Mr. Charles Magnay, the junior partner, were threatened and grossly insulted. Mr. Sidney Young, in protecting his father, was ill-used ; but it was reported that he had ample satisfaction, and being in possession of both pluck and sci ence , knockedl down six or seven of the ruffians who were ill-using the new hands in succession. The violence of the union men has done much injury to their cause, and there is no prospect of an arrangement of the unhappy dispute between ,the employers and those lately employed. A private meeting of the Shipwrights' Union was held at the E•liaburgh Castle Tavern, Limehouse, on Monday night. It is not known • what was the determination of the meeting. There is no lack of funds on the part of the Shipwrights' Union. The men on strike had been allowed 255, a week ever since they left Messrs. Young, Son, and Magnay's employ, and it has been given out by the union men that there is 17,0001. in hand. Messrs. Young, Son, and Magnay proposed to abolish the lunch time from eleven to half-past, and the refresh ment half hour from four until half-past, and to permit the men to have an hour for breakfast and an hour to dinner, arid to leave work half an hour earlier in the evening and ono hour and a half earlier on Saturday. By this arrangement there would have been only two interruptions to business per day instead of four, and the actual working hours would have been the same as on the old system, except on Saturday, when they would have besn one hour less. Tee London ship wrights, however, consider the proposed change as an invasion of their "rights and privileges," and will not agree to The rallying cry of the union men is, " We won't give up our 'levener and tourer," meaning the halthour in the morninc , and the half-h our i n th e a ft ern oon, and nobody would have found fault with them for this deter mination, althon o tek they had d e p r i ve d th emse l ve s of em ployment, if they hail not, by bribery, gross violerce, and intimidation, attempted to prevent others, willing to comply with Messrs. Young, Son, and Mag nay's regu lations, from entering into agreements with them. No such privileges have hitherto been accorded to the ship wrights in the outports. The " 'levener " and the "fourer " are peculiar to the port of London. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for th 3 despatch of pub ic business. CONSERVANCY OP THE RIVER THAMES. The TowN CLERK informed the Court that on the 21st inst. presentments had been made at a Court of Conservancy of the navigation of the river being ob structed and impeded in consequence of the form of eon struction of Battersea and Putney bridges, and of trunks of trees placed by some persons unknown on the shore of the river in the parish of Wandsworth. That the river was contracted and obstructed in consequence of the form of construction of Battersea and Putney bridges, as well as by a floating pier or landing place at the bottom of Essex-street, Strand, and at the Fox nnder-the-Hill, near the Adelphi. That on the 28th inst. a presentment had been made of the banks at the River Lea being very much out of repair ; of an obstruc tion and impediment to the navigation of the same river by the construction of an iron railway bridge ; of an obstruction at the entrance of Barking-creek, by the sinking of a barge ; of the dilapidated state of the cause way on the Essex shore, at West Thurrock, opposite Greenhithe, and that much inconvenience was caused to the public by the causeway at Grays being much out of repair ; that large quantities of rubbish, &c., were cast into Deptford-creek from the premises of Frank Clark Hills ; that an encroachment had been made in Deptford. creek by large quantities of refuse being cast from the Premises of John Bennett Lawes and from the Phcenix Gas Works ; that the bank of the river at Blackwell point required shoring up ; that an encroachment kid been made at Kirk and Parry's wharf, at Woolwich, h 3 • a deposit of stores ; of an encroachment by the constru o tion of a pier and jetty at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwicht; of an encroachm en t at the S ea W i t c h p u bl ic -h ouse; Greenwich, by Mr. Bullock's shipsways ; of as encroachment by the construction of a pier and jetty, at Frith, with a crane and shears. These various presentments were referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider and report upon. THE GREAT METROPOLITAN SCHEME OF DRAINAGE. The LORD MAYOR—I wish to make a communication to Court, in connection with the proceedings of the Court of Conservancy which was yesterday held at Greenwich. Besides thee presentments of the jury a deputation from the inhabitants of Erith waited on tht Court, for the purpose of representing to them the gre al damage to property and probable injury to health tb might be occasioned if the oaten of the sewers of t hi ) metropolis should remain fixed, as now proposed or su g • gested, near the village of Erith. (Hear, hear.) I, a course, assured the deputation, that I would bring t subject under the notice of my brethren, with a viva to their representations being forwarded to the Comrni 3. sioner of Public Works for his consideration. It( Court of Conservancy have no power whatever in an. 3 • matter under the direction of Parliament, or over ar:2 officer whom Parliament has appointed to supervise t'n. Thames. I believe that all my brethren are agreed witl me in opinion that it is worthy of consideration, when Iv e are embarking in a large scheme for the removal of th e sewage from this great metropolis to a distance, that i t should be taken to a part of the Thames where it is az i derstood and agreed that no damage to either propert y or human life can arise—that is, below Gravesend, suggested by the deputation. That deputation handed!! in certain papers and reports of engineers and other pers , 07 as who might be called to give their opinion with regar 3 to the project in a sanitary point of view. I therefore i ug gest that one of my brethren should move that• tl i ose several papers be banded to the Remembrancer, in o r der that they may be transmitted to Sir Benjamin Hall i for his consideration. I have now fulfilled the pro• a use which I made to the deputation yesterday, that the s üb. ject should be brought forward to-clay ; and I have : also fulfilled the assurance that this Court will do wha bsver they can to give the representations made to them pub licity, and to place them before the officer of the Go yarn meht whose duty it is to attend to such matters. Alderman FINNIS presented a memorial from tl to in habitants of Erith, praying that the village migh i not be made the outlet of the metropolitan system of s awer age, which was read by Mr. Woodthorpe, and which excited a great deal of interest. Alderman FINNIS then moved that this memorh d and two other documents, signed by Mr. F. S. Ho) 13 fray and Mr. R. B. Grantham, engineers, condemnat, ivy of the Government project for emptying the sewage ( If the metropolis into the Thames at Erith, and suggesting t hat it should be carried further down the river before b e ing discharged into it, be referred to the General Purpoi sea Committee. Alderman LAWRENCE, in seconding the motion, in kid he was very glad that the subject of the outlet fort he sewage of the metropolis had been brought before t he Court, as it was most essential that so comprehensive scheme as that suggested by the Government should be fully considered before the vast outlay of money requi site to carry it into effect was entailed. (Hear, bear.; 1 Alderman COPELAND said he quite approved the io• tiou for referring the documents brought before the at tention of the Court to a committee, but could not hit 'IP thinking that ne ith er th e c i t i zens o f London nor the i n habitants of the suburbs were at all aware of the exit ir mous cost that would result from carrying the propose 31:1 scheme into execution. (Hear, hear.) The motion was put and carried unanimously, and. at the suggestion of. Alderman WIRE power was given to the General Purposes Committee to confer with the 01 ty Commissioners of Sewers (many of whom were prele nt and seemed deeply interested) as to the most advis ,le course to pursue in reference to the subject. The Court adjourned. • • PROTESTANT LIFE FIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY Vice,Chancelfor.Kindersley has called on creditors t to come id:and prove their debts against the estate of; thl ;8 corapany, otherwise they will be precluded from 'coin mencing or proSecuting any action for the recorery O. f them ; and an official manager is to be appointed to in. vestigate the liabilities and assets. teisi lir The late article i n the Moniteur on the affairs of ' 'b * • k - Spain may be taken as an announcemen t that the i A y. , , • French G overnment approves the cam. '.,..... t, - y _, the Qu een an d h er present Minister, and will give them at least its moral support. We cannot be- ‘ lieve that the public opinion of this country will acquiesce in the judgment of the Tuileries, bat, as France seems not likely to convert approval into active interference, and as England has long aban doned the notion that liberal institutions can be established in any land by foreign intervention, the disagreement is, perhaps, more speculative than practical. Treating, then, the ar icle in the Mont tear as merely an essay on a point of contemporary politics, we may be allowed to remark on what seem to us its erroneous views of a country which has for many years been the subject of attention, • but is even now but little understood. What are the occurrences which within the last few days have agitated Spain ? A Constitutional Queen, who holds her title to the Crown by legal enactment against a relative claiming by divine right, has suddenly dismissed, or caused to resign, the Minister who during his whole career has been the champion of responsible government in bar dominions. Another politician, known only as a resolute and unscrupulous soldier, has been raised to supreme power. This substitution of a notori ously Absolutist Minister for a man of strictly con stitutional views would seem to a foreigner a dan gerous act. We might, however, be in the wrong. But when we see the actual and immediate results wo can no longer hesitate as to the character of the change. We find that insurrection immediately fol lowed in Madrid, and that for this insurrection the new Government was thoroughly prepared before hand. We find that O'Donnell, taking advantage _ , • - -... 1 . 16 -f.mwfret** , ,ila.anypiwar= l "*.-AT arp , l7l3M - CCM CUM , trated 20,0'65 men on the capital: His first step was to surround himself with colleagues who had two years before, when for a few hours in office, turned the cannon of the army against the people. The first act of the new Ministry was the proclamation of martial law. The Legislative Aaiembly was dis persed by force, fired upon when proceeding in deputation to the presence of the Sovereign, and driven from their legal place of meeting by grape shot. We find the capital in arms to resist this treasonable violation of public law, and we hear of a desperate contest, in which the National Guard, after several hours' fighting, are crushed by the large forces concentrated on Madrid. The next intelli gence is that the Cortes have fled to a provincial town. Arragon receives the national assembly, which declares that it has been dispersed by a monstrous act of military violence. Barcelona is soon iu revolt, and the flame spreads. At the pre sent moment Saragossa is held by an insurgent army, and we learn that iit the south Malaga and Granada have not yet submitted. The Ministry is intent on crushing all resistance to its power, and everything is postponed until "after the pacification of the country." Such are the facts. The Sovereign and her confidant concentrate troops, disperse awl fire on the Legislature, fight a pitched . battle with the National Guard, and are now engaged in crush ing the liberalism of the provinces. The question is, what are we to think of suck an act ? • The Moniteur is especially desirous of one thine. —that it should not be called a coup d'etat. It appears that some journals, " blinded by an un warrantable preference for a name," have called the affair we have jast described a coup d'etat. To this the Mouiteur takes exception. , It was merely the resignation of one Minister and the substitution of another, and could by no means be justly called a coup d'etat. Not that the Monitcur wishes to exclude the Spanish Court more than any other from occasional recourse to such an ex pedient, for it proceeds to lay down the cases in which it is legitimate. But the acts of the Queen and O'Donnell, it seems, do not constitute a coup d'etat. Now, we have no wish to argue on the precise signification of this popular phrase. Neither the words nor the idea they express are English, and we may beside well concede to the Monitcur stricter accuracy in the use of a political termi nology which it has borne no small part in creat ing. Whether, then, O'Donnell has or has not executed a csup (Vaal, he has, by violence and in pursuance of a premeditated plan, dispersed the L; gislature, disbanded the National Guard, and overthrown the constitutional liberties of the country. We cannot think that this is a gratify ing• conclusion to all the struggles and sacrifices of Spain during more than 20 years. We cannot think that the man who has committed this act can be. fitly described as "having attempted to restore order to Spain, as the first and most indispensable basis of liberty." Knowing, as we do from expe ri that repression must produce corresponding resistance, and that, however extended and strong it may be, the reaction must come at last, we are far from feeling that "it is natural to hail with sympathy a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of Isabella II." ;. t ~.; ~.~ ~•..x..::~~~ It is not to be denied that on the continent Eng land is in many minds the object of suspicion, on the ground of a supposed selfish and Machiavellian policy. We who know our own country, how little the people care about foreign affairs, and how completely in this their Government represents them, can hardly conceive that the actions of even well-informed continental politicians are swayed by a notion that England is always on the watch for the extension of her influence in Spain, in Portu gal, Italy, and the East. The French politicians of Louis Philippe's time was always haunted with the notions of combinations against France, in which England, supreme over the second-rate States, should take the lead. This notion, as wild as that of the bourgeois about Ungland's desire to monopolise the commerce of de world, was once widely prevalent, and seems to have left some traditions even after it has itself passed away. One of these is the dislike of Espartero, which has dis tinguished successive French Governments, regal, republican, and imperial. The character of tis well-meaning old gentleman is well known. Ho _ _ (44 has proved himself during a long career an honest, brave, and good-hearted man, With principles to which be has always been ready to sacrifice his personal interests. His defects have been timidity and irresolution at a sudden crisis, a want of fore sight, and a nature easily imposed upon by the kind of persons with whom he was likely to be sur rounded at the Court of Aradrid. A. politician who does not feel the great truth that men are bound to him, not by what they have received, but by what they expect, is hardly likely to be long in (Ace anywhere. Espartero is one of these, and, consequently, he has now to lament—if it be of any use—the ingratitude of the Queen, the King, and of O'Donnel himself, his own familiar disciple. This is the man who, according to notions now a quarter of a century old, is the repre sentative of British influence at Madrid. It is need- less to say that he has never done anything for us in Spain, since, of course, there is nothing that we wish done. Beyond our rock of Gibraltar we hold nothing on Spanish, or, indeed, on Continental ground, and our only interest iu Spain is that there should be a stable Government, under which the people should live happily and develope themselves and their resources in their own way. Nor have Englishmen any wish to uphold a constitution merely because it is a copy of their own. The time is past for any such partiality. For 70 years we have seen the venerable institutio ns o f thi s ki ng d om mimicked with every variety of the sad, the horrible, and the burlesque, by the unprepared intelligence of two hemispheres. We look to the establishment of - Upper and Lower Chambers, the inauguration of Presidents, and the regulation of Parliamentary procedures, only with feelings of apprehension and distrust. Neither from any hope of mat€rial ad vantage, nor from any ambition for influence and prestige, nor from any national vanity, have the people of this country given their sympathies to the cause of moderate government in Spain, and to the man who, to the best of his ability, has been its constant supporter. Yet it is difficult to say how much a supposed identity with British interests may not have injured that liberal cause which . for the present seems so utterly wrecked.--Times. SHIPPING RETURNS.
