SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, I The Times Cannot End that the rising is yet national. It is a rebellion of old Court favourites, statesmen, and generals. The Queen has abandoned the principles which placed her on the throne, and taken into her counsels the reactionary party. It would have been easy for her, as a constitutional sovereign, to have made herself popular ; but instead of that she is accounted an apostate. As to the attitude of England, the Times remarks that nothing has at present transpired to make this country feel a personal and selfish interest in this Spanish move. meat. But our English attitude of non-intervention, even to the extent, so far as practicable, of withholding the intimation of a mere sympathy, would be unchanged were its ends and aims as manifest as they are now obscure. So far as the interests of this country are con cerned, the result most to be deprecated would be the establishment of a weak Government one inviting domestic intrigues and plots for its overthrow, or the seizure of power under it—a Government which might seek desperately to divert the attacks of the various parties in the country from itself to some external object. But we desire a strong Government, of whatever form, for Spain in the interests of Spain herself. Her Administrations have not given her a fair chance of development for the last century and a half ; but at the rare intervals when her rulers have strewn a public spirit the prosperity of the country has ever risen as if by magic. There have even been periods under the present reign—at the time preceding, for instance, the Morocco war—when the kingdom seemed ready to emerge and resume its natural rank among European Powers. Its unused wealth of material resources is abundantly ascertained. But a race with a history like its, of sturdy resistance at home to foreign oppression and of stubbornly grasped predomi nance, at one epoch, abroad, must have, too, a solid national spirit lying somewhere hidden. We believe that this would appear if duly summoned, and when evoked would produce in Europe a different opinion of Spain from any which it has been able to form from the Court of Queen Isabella. If the pending revolution only throw this spirit to the surface, there will be little cause to regret the downfall of the Bourbon dynasty. The Herald concludes that the days of the present dynasty are numbered. The hapless Queen. who has so sadly disappinted the hopes, so grievously trifled with the destinies of a proud and sensitive people, will have herself only to blame if the world looks on coldly while she is driven forth from her kingdom, if no tears are shed for her degradation, if scarcely any pitying eye follows her into exile, if that sympathy which in other lands is eo widely and loyally felt for the Throne makes an excep tion of hers. That they never learned and never forgot has been said of the Bourbons before, but her subjects aver that they have other causes of discontent with Isabella IL, Queen of Spain. If the present move ment succeeds, and the Queen is forced to abdicate, we ' cannot believe for a moment that the generals or the Cortes will pay any attention to the choice which ske may make of her successor. She is not likely to choose her sister, of whom she is jealous, nor does it seem that any • influential party in Spain is in favour of the Infanta Louisa as Queen of Spain, with the Due de Montpensier, son of Louis Philippe, as King Consort. As far as we can see, the design which was attributed to the Citizen King, at the time of the Spanish marriages, of placing his descendants on the Throne of Spain in default of the direct line of Louis XIV., is likely to be frustrated. Nor is there said to be much chance of the eldest son of the Queen, the Prince of the Asturias, who is now eleven years old, being allowed to succeed her ; nor of her ' daughter, the Countess Girgenti, being chosen by the Cortes. There is a report that the Queen, if driven to abdicate, has some thought of putting forward her cousin, Don Carlos, the representative of the direct male line ; but though this Prince has made public profession of his Liberal principles, we no reason to suppose that be would prove acceptable to the leaders, who seem deter mined to set their faces against the whole Bourbon family. Mention has been made of the king of the border country • ,of Portugal", but though such a choice would seem to com mend itself on many grounds, we are not sure that the Iberian party is strong enough in Spain to justify any attempt just now at the union of the whole of the Penin sula under one sceptre. The Herald cannot believe that any dream so wild as the establishment of a republic has entered the heads of the leaders of the party. The Standard remarks that Mr. Fortescue's colleagues have very recently arrived at the conclusion that the Irish Church " cry " is not altogether a success, and, following the key-note of Mr. Gladstone, they have turned their attention to finance. Delenda est has given place to e exaltation of Liberal economy as contrasted with Tory extravagance. There appeared to be something tangible, something that would strike home to the heart Of the British taxpayer, in the fiction which represented him as burdened with an extra three millions a year solely because the Tories were in and the Liberals out. It by no means detracts from the praise fairly due to the energy and courage with which Mr. Gladstone's " rising young men " sought to propagate this new romance that it should have ended in a refutation as disastrous as it was complete. The replies of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and General Peel were simply annihilating, and the eulogists of Mr. Gladstone's finance and the denouncers of Mr. Disraeli's profligacy found themselves hoist with their own petards. The tables were turned upon them selves. Facts and figures were quoted to prove that Liberalism meant increased expenditure, and thus the ingredients of their poisoned chalice were commended to their own lips. It is a mark, therefore, at once of defeat and of acquiescence in defeat, that Mr. Fortescue should manifest such eagerness to shift the quarrel to the old battle-ground of the Irish Church. The most significant, and indeed the only novel point in Mr. Fortescue's speech is that in which he addresses himself to the argument that the English Establishment is compromised by the policy directed against the Irish Church. Like Mr. Gladstone, the right honourable gentleman holds that the English Church is secure, because it is " throned in the hearts of millions ;" but when he is reminded that the two Establishments are part and parcel of the same "United Church of England,and Ireland as by law esta blished," he assumes a very different tone. " If," he says, " we are to reckon the Establishment of Ireland and the Establishment of England as one single Church "—and in law and fact they undoubtedly are so—" then the mem bers of the Church in the two countries, reckoning on the millions of the Irish Roman Catholics, are reduced to a minority," and in that case the precedent of the Irish Church must inevitably be applied to her English sister. We have always said so ; but this is the first time we have found a responsible Liberal statesman admitting as much. The Times says that even in private life the expression of friendly sentiments is of much importance to the main tenance of friendship ;sois it with nations. If a man be fighting for his life, his best friend meets with sorry treat ment if he interfere ; and the Americans must forgive us for saying that they would not have been the great people they are if they had been capable at such a time of taking a calm and reasonable view of matters which were affected by this struggle. Englishmen took sides in the civil war, not because they were hostile to the Americans, but because they were one with them, and shared, in a remarkable degree, the differences which prevailed in the United States them selves. If the Americans were themselves engaged in a civil war, can they be surprised that there were differences of opinion, and even warm differences, on the same sub ects among Englishmen? And while the excitement lasted we could neither of us do justice to any other consi derations. But it has subsided, and the time has fully come for restoring the balance of sentiment and re awakening the feelings which lie permanently at the heart of both nations. The Times alludes to the friendly correspondence between Generals Lee and Rosecranz. If General Rosecranz and General Lee are resolved to forget all past differences, can there be any difficulty in removing all subjects of disagreement between England and America? Mr. Johnson's reception proves the friendly state of feeling on our side, and he responds with suitable warmth. In a word, the sum of his speech is, in the first place, to remind us that our differences ought to be settled, and, in the next place, to assure us, on the autho r ity o f one w h o i s th oroug hl y acquainted with them, that there is no difficulty in obtain ing such a settlement. These receptions render it evident- that we both have the will , and it will now be easy to find the way. We have only to give one ano th er credit for good intentions , and to e prepared to make allowances for the infirmities of human nature on an occa sion of extraordinary excitement. If we are ready to recognise the possibility of errors on both sides, it will be easy on recognised grounds of equitable compensation to adjust the balance of mutual but unintentional injuries. "The United States, which acts always as our pioneer on the political highway "—from whom can this phrase have proceeded ? From Mr. Bright, addressing a mass meeting of Birmingham ar tisans ; from Mr. Goldw'n Smith, informing the youthful Radicalism of Oxford; from Mr. Mill,meditating in apoca 7 yptic vision lr at Avignon the future triumphs of democr ac y ; from I . B •eai es at Adel hi-terrace ; or from Mr. Ernest Jones at Men cheater ? The words are none of theirs. Truth is stranger than fiction. The speaker, says the Daily News, was Lord Robert Montagu, of old the henchman of Lord Cranborne in the house of Commons, and now a member of Mr. Disraeli's Government, and Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education. His transition from the old Toryism of the handful of middle aged young gentlemen who used to cluster about Lord Uranborne on the front bench below the gangway to the new Tory-Radicalism of Mr. Disraeli was violent ; but L,eel Robert Montagu has gone yet further, and rushed apparently into Radicalism without the Tory prefix and tiu,Llilicatir , n, Ile. has waded so far in revolutionary Pinnies that to return would he more laborious than to go on. What particular past of our institutions, We should like to ask Lord Robert Montagu, are we first to reconstruct on the American model? Is the Tory suind to be educated into the adoption of vote by ballot, equal electoral districts, the voluntary system in religion, and an elective Upper Chain. ter? The particular point on which Lord Robert Montagu, speaking to the farmers of Huntingdon, held up the United States as an example for English imitatun was in respect of their precautions against the c ittle plague. But his general principle went far beyond this application of it. The abandonment of old prejudices is laudable; but there is such a thing as rushing with too much eagerness from one extreme to another, end Lord Robert Montagu, when he Americanises, aflorde an example of t4i4 precipitate enthusiasm, A LADY ORATOR. Mrs. Fellowes, the wife of the member for Huntingdon. shire, returned thanks for the ladies, proposed by General Peel at the Huntingdonshire agricultural dinner. The speech was as follows :—" Gentlemen, in responding on behalf of the ladies present, I have to thank very cordially my right hon. and gallant friend General [Peel, for proposing, and you for receiving, the toast so kindly, for two causes: first, that my own name 'especially mentioned in the toast ; and secondly, that here at Ramsay, at my own loved home, ladies have for the first timebeen invitedtejoin in your festive meetings. By your reception of us this day I gather that you like to see us here. I can assure you one and all that we take the liveliest interest in everything that concerns agriculture, and we have done our best to give you here a warm and hearty reception. I hope this will not be the last time that the Huntingdon shire agricultural meeting will be held at Ramsey. Once more I tender you our grateful thanks." Mrs. Fellowes was enthusiastically cheered by the farmers. THE EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON BOYS. Dr. Decaisne (Bull. Gael-al de Ther.) in the course of investigations on the influence of tobacco on the circula tion, has been struck with the large number of boys, aged from nine to fifteen years, who smoke, and has been led to inquire into the connection of this habit with impairment of the general health. He has observed 38 boys, aged from 9 to 15, who smoked more or less. Of these, distinct symptoms were present in 27. In 22 there were various disorders of the circulation—bruit de souffle in the neck, palpitation, disorders of digestion, slowness of intellect, and a more or less marked taste for strong drinks. In three the pulse was intermittent. In eight there was found on examination more or less marked diminution of the red corpuscles ; in 12 there was rather frequent epitaxis ; 10 bad disturbed bleep; and four had slight ulcerations of the mucous mein. brans of the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the use of tobacco for some days. In children who were very well nourished the disorder was, in general, less marked. As to the ages, eight of the boys were from nine to 12 years old ; nineteen from 12 to 15. The duration of the habit of smoking was, in eleven from six months to a year, and in sixteen more than two years. The ordinary treatment of anaemia in general produced no effect as long as the smoking was continued ; but, when this was desisted from, health was soon perfectly restored, if there were no organic disease.—British Medical Journal. LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A POLICEIIAN.—WiIIiam Kerridge, a police-constable, has been indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Henry Frogmore, a pensioner. The constable had questioned the deceased as to his mode of living, and receiving abuse in reply, he took him by the collar and threw him on his back. Death resulted from concussion of the brain. The jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty, accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. Justice Keating, in passing sentence, remarked that the prisoner, in a moment of irritation, undoubtedly com mitted an act which was followed by the loss of life, but the circumstances were of so mitigating a character as to entirely warrant the strong recommendation of the jury, and the sentence of the court was that the prisoner be im prisoned for one week. LEAVING A TRAIN IN MOTION.--At the Hammersmith Police-court two passengers have been summoned. at the instance of the Great Western Railway Company, for having left a train in motion on the platform of the Ken sington station. The defence was that the guard had jumped from the train before it had stopped, and com menced unlocking the doors, and that the train moved on aftea it had once pulled up. The magistrate did not believe that there had been an intentional breach of the com pany's bye-laws, and dismissed both summonses. CAB Law.—During the late cab strike a hackney car riage proprietor arrived at the King's-cross station of the Great Northern Railway, and told a privileged cabman to drive him to the Camden-road. He had scarcely entered the vehicle when he was recognised by several cabmen, who called out to the driver not to take him. The driver at once ordered his " fare " to get out, and on his refusing to do so, the cab was driven into a remote corner of the station, where it was suddenly over turned, and its occupant was injured. For this he took out two summonses, one for refusing to take him to his destination, and the other for misbehaviour. The case has been heard at the Clerkenwell Police-court, and the magistrate held that, as the railway station was private pr p:rt y, the complainant could obtain no redress for the refusal to convey Lim to his destination. The second sum mons was also dismissed, Mr. Cooke holding that the charge could not be sustained under the provisions of the Hackney Carriage Act. A summons was, however, granted on a charge of common assault. DISPUTED PROPERTY,—Mr. Edward George Barnard, of Cox's Hotel, Jermyn-street, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Marlborough-street Police-court, by Mr. Samuel Courtauld, of Gosfield Hall, Essex, for detaining ' a chair wrongfully taken from Mr. Courtauld's chapel or pew in Gosfield Church. The real purport of these proceedings was to try the right of Mr. Courtauld, as owner of Gosfield Hall, to a certain aisle or chapel, called Wentworth Chapel, in the parish church of Gosfield, as appurtenant to the mansion of Gosfield Hall. The tech nical point was the detention of a chair which used to be a portion of the furniture of the pew. The real question was whether the de facto ownership of an estate carried the right to the possession of a pew. Mr. Tyrwhitt gave judgment for the plaintiff—but the matter in no way touches on the general question of pews and pew rents. The Oswestry Advertiser states that at a dinner which Sir Watkin W. Wynn gave ' tenants at Llange dwyn on Thursday, h 3 announce the rabbits on his estate were to be destroy d. The members of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting held yesterday, accepted a proposal to sub scribe for a testimonial to Mr. Baecroft, 11. P., in recognition of his services as a representative of the borough. The amount of the subscripticn is limitad to one guinea. In England there are 103 constituencies, returning 174 members, which at present are without opposition can didates. Supposing that this state of things continue, these 7,enstituencies will send to the Commons' House of Parlia ment 93 Liberals and 81 Conservatives. The Archbishop of Canterbury has returned from the Continent much relieved from rheumatism, and was able to hold his ordination on Sunday in Addington Church, though suffering somewhat from a bronchial attack. The sermon was preached by the Rev. A. P. Cust, of St. Mary's, Reading. In view of the approaching general election, Thursday, October 1, is to be set apart by " Christians re siding in London and its neighbourhood" as a day of united prayer, Lord Ebury is announced as president, and several eminent leaders of the Evangelical party will take part in the proceedings. A gentleman at Glastonbury, in Sumei has an apple-tree growing in his garden which has blos somed twice this year, and is now producing the second crop of apples. The first crop was a very good one. Also in a garden at Lewes, in Sussex, there are apple and pear trees now in full bloom for the second time this year. A woman named Volans, who has Lcen receiving parish relief at Wakefield, liar, the g dian; have learnt, the nice little sum of £4OO deposited in the b. Ifs. The board, therefore, have resolved to demand th 1-turn of the money she has received from them, and to take proceedings to compel her to refund it should she refuse to do so. The absurdities of the " pew system" have seldom if ever been so aptly illustrated as by an advertisement in the Staffordshire Sentinel. In this paper an announcement is made that there is " to be let or sold," at Old Church, lien ley, " a front pow under the organ gallery," which, it is specially declared, " will seat seven persons, and commands a view of nearly the whole congregation." On Wednesday, the marriage of Walter S. North cote, Esq., eldest son of the Right lion. Sir Stafford North cote, Bart., her Majesty's Secretary of State for India, with Elizabeth Lucy, eldest daughter of 11. S. Thompson, Esq., of Kirby Uhl], Yorkshire, was celebrated, amid unusual demonstrations of popular interest, at Cusenam Church, Kirby. Twenty women have been put on the register of county Neuters at Todraorden.

A certain number of the inhabitants of Hanover have presented to the Prince Royal Ernest, on the occasion of Lis birthday, a sword of great value. The hilt is of gold, ornamented with a large diamond surrounded by small bril liants, and the scabbard of silver. On one side of the blade is the inscription :—" Dieu et mon droit, nunquam retror sum," and towards the point :—" Lagonsalza," with a quo tation from the sth verse of the 125th Psalm. The Revising Barrister at Bury has "made an ex ample" of the assistaut-overseer for Elton. That official had placed on the register a large number of persons who had received parish relief, and were, therefore, disqualified, and had, besides, inserted his owu name, although he had only occupied the house for six months. The Revising Barrister regarded this conduCt as dereliction of dots, and 4ae4 the offending official COs. LORD isT,AFTER OF MAGDALA,AT- 7HE RISING IN SPAIN. EDINBURGH. (Prom the Times' Correspondent.) PALLS, Wednesday, Sept. 23, 6 p.m. Notwithstanding the difficulty of obtaining authentic intelligence from a country in a, state of revolution, and in which some important lines of telegraph are broken, every succeeding day contri butes its quota of news tending to prove beyond a doubt that the insurrection spreads and flourishes, and that the Bourbon dynasty is at an end in Spain. On Tuesday the Lord Provost waited on Lord Napier of ;ffagdala at M`Gregor's Royal Hotel, and by request drove him to various parts of the city. The party went first to the High School, thence to the University, where they went through the several class-rooms and visited the court-room and library. They then proceeded to the Museum of Science and Art, after a cursory inspection of which they went to the establishment of the Medical Missionary Society in the Cowgate. In the whole of this excursion through the city, Lord Napier, as we understand, expressed great anxiety to have information respecting the condition of the humbler classes, and the means adopted for their social and religious elevation. His lordship had in the morning visited the castle in order to inspect the accom modation of the soldiers in garrison, and, it seems, wasnot greatly pleased with various matters which fell under his attention. He made the observation to the Lord Provost that the means for recreation, including the arrangements of the reading-room, were greatly inferior to what be had noticed in France. The Lord Provost stated that he had noticed the same deficiency, and that as regards Edinburgh the consequences were deplorable. The commander of the regiment which had lately left the castle mentioned that on arriving the privates in the corps had owned the sum of £5,000 in the savings bank, every shilling of which was spent in dissipation during their stay in town, some of the men spending as much as from £2O to £3O a piece in two or three days ; facts which spoke strongly as to the want of healthful recreation in the castle, and the tempta tions to vice in the city. On hearing these circumstances, Lord Napier adverted to what in various ways might be done to elevate the soldier. His lordship, along with Lady Napier, left Edinburgh for Glasgow at two o'clock. In parting from the Lord Provost, Lord Napier said that he hoped to be able on his return from India to revisit Edinburgh, in which he now takes a lively and peculiar interest.—Scotsman. The telegraph last night took you the important information that the Queen, after actually getting into a railway carriage to go to Madrid, got out again and remained at St. Sebastian, deterred by the intelli g ence of fresh risings in important cities and fortresses, of agitation in the capital, and of danger on the road through Castille. The move ment is extending to every part of her king dom, and must before long reach Madrid. Iler sole reliance now is on three or four Generals little noted for energy and very deficient in prestige. It is not the Conchas, or Pezuela, or Pavia, or Calonge who will carry with them either the army or the people. Everybody else has fallen away from her, and who knows how long some of those may remain by her side ? Concha, we hear, is pre siding over a council of Ministers consisting of him self alone, the other Ministries being temporarily filled by the Secretaries-General or Under-Secre taries of the respective departments. Gonzalez Bravo was driven to make up his Cabinet with men previously unknown, but Concha has not even that resource. One significant sign of the times is the passage of the frontier by M. Bravo and his late colleagues, who, the telegraph informs us, passed yesterday through St. Jean de Luz, flying from the vengeance their iniquities have provoked. There seems little doubt that by this time most of the seaport towns and several large inland cities have hoisted the banner of the insurrection. Yesterday evening some slight uneasiness was expressed by partisans of the movement of the apparent inaction of Galicia, where General Zabala, detained at Lugo by order of the late Government, was expected to take the lead. Ferrol was believed to have pro- flounced, but no other places had been named as following the example. A Paris paper last night said that all Galicia was in arms, and that Corunua and Santiago appear ready to pronounce. Before closing this letter I shall know whether that news be confirmed. The papers give a proclamation by the Madrid Revolutionary Committee, which claims to represent on the one hand the Generals returned from the Canaries, and on the other M. Olozaga and General Prim. Two reports circulated this morning are to the effect that Espartero ha 3 de clared for the insurrection, and that the Duke of Montpensier and his wife, the Infanta Maria Louisa, were preparing to return to Spain. It is quite natural that the Duke and Duchess should de sire to return to their home, if they think they can do so in safety, but if it is with the idea that they have a chance of the throne which seems likely soon to be vacated they may spare themselves dis appointment by keeping away. You will have seen by the proclamation to the Catalans ; yesterday forwarded, that the programme of the insurrection repudiates the whole Bourbon dynasty. On no terms whatever will they accept any member of the family. The idea has been timidly advanced of the Prince of Asturias for future King, with a regency until his majority. Anybody who has been lately in Spain, or in much intercourse with Spaniards, will feel how impossible that is. Besides the broad decision to get rid of all Bourbons, there are other reasons for the exclusion of the Queen's children. You may, perhaps, not know—for there aro certain things one writes but unwillingly—that every one of the Queen's children is considered to belong to a different father, and that they are known and com monly spoken of in Spain by nicknames founded on the names of their putative progenitors. Whether this scandal be true or not it is believed in Spain, and Spanish pride would ill brook the sovereignty of a prince supposed to be of such extraction. The present revolution, which is altogether of a different character from any that has occurred in Spain since Ferdinand's death, is decided in its object. It has been promoted by men—and especially by one man —long bent on the expulsion or tho dynnoty, uull with nothing less will it be satisfied, The dynasty, says the proclamation to the Catalans, " has per sisted in the fatal path of immorality and hypocrisy. The nation can no longer endure so much scandal and so much infamy." And thus it is that the measure has been filled to overflowing, and that one of the most loyal and monarchical nations in Europe has been brought to abjure its traditions and expel its Queen. Any compromise between the Bourbons and the insurrection is, I am thoroughly persuaded, quite out of the question. Failing any likely and popular candidate for the throne that is expected presently to be empty, the directors of the revolution propose an appeal to the nation, and the election of a Constituent Cortes to deliberate as to the nature and formation of the new Government. M. de Girardin, who is always ready with advice, even to those who neither seek isuggests that Spain should takeamendment proposed in the French h norn a n National Assembly on the 7th of October, rec wouldt from value an 1848, by M-. Grevy, to the effect that the Assem bly should delegate the executive power to a citizen who should receive the title of President of the Council of Ministers, and who should be elected for an unlimited time, but should be always liable to be deposed by another vote of the Cham ber. Had the Grevy amendment, he says, been adopted, France would have enjoyed all the ad vantages of a constitutional Government without the superfluity of Royalty or of a President of the Republic. He advises the chiefs of the present Revolution, should it succeed, to convoke the ordi nary Cortes, and let them elect, by secret voting and by the majority of the suffrages, a President of the Council of Ministers. The attitude assumed by the semi-official Press, and especially by the Constitutionnel and the Patrie, at this crisis in the affairs of Spain is exceedingly reserved, and decidedly favourable to the Queen. Perhaps it is not considered decorous that journals supposed to derive their opinions as well as their information from the Ministerial offices should ad mit, until it becomes an accomplished fact, the pro bable downfall of a friendly Sovereign, whose daughter only the other day was caressed and, feasted at Fontainebleau. The Moniteur of to-day is nearly mute. " Madrid continues tranquil ; Ad miral Estrada has accepted the Ministry of Marine; the news from the provinces are confused and con tradictory." That is all. Apparently the Govern ment has very little news to give. It is noteworthy that at the time when the Government despatches were being returned from the frontier on account of the interruption of the line to Madrid, those wonderful people the telegraphic agents continued to tell us what was going on. And it is also re markable that their information was generally favourable to the Royal cause, even when they were obliged to relate facts of a most alarming nature : " The greatest tranquillity reigns in Madrid and the rest of the Peninsula." But just above that we read that there is a military insurrection at Cadiz, seconded by General Izquierdo and the garrison of Seville. The Constitutionnel of to-day might have gathered its Spanish intelligence in the chancery of the Spanish Embassy. It says : " Concha has taken most energetic measures to stay the progress of the insurrection and localize the movement ; the capital was tranquil, and the Queen by that time (last evening) must have reached Madrid. According to the last accounts from London (it adds) Prim had not left Eng land." nate for her cause. The Pattie is equally oracular and well informed. From the information it gives— " Our readers will see that not only is the Cadiz movanent nut of the magnitude announced, but there is not a word about the generals exiled to the Canaries any more than about the return of the principal insurrectionary chiefs of 1866. And:the Spanish L2gatiou has received a despatch to the effect that General Prim is still in London." 7 F. You were told in a recent letter how cleverly the Countess de Reuss contrived to conceal her hus band's absence from Signor Vistahermosa's spies. Some of the Paris papers contain reports of dis agreements between the ModerAdo,And.Proiresista THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1868. generals, but such reports are quite unfounded. It was no easy matter to bring about a coalition of the various political shacks, but I think we may rely on their holding together, at least until their com mon object is attained. Besides, how do these pur veyors of news get their intelligence about the pri vate differences of men whose own friends are with out other news of them than rumour supplies. After the rising at Cadiz there was a vast deal urgent to be done, and the generals went their dif ferent ways in order to do it. They have no time for bickerings. 6.30 r.m. The official news, proceeding from the Spanish Government, is that Ferrol, Santona, and the im portant city of Santander have all declared for the insurrection. The French Government hears from its Minister at Madrid that the state of that capital is such as cannot be expected to last. From other sources I learn that although the state of siege is proclaimed in Madrid it is not enforced. The streets are full of people, the cafes remain open all night (a thing unprecedented), the police do no thing and are scarcely to be seen. In a letter of the 19th from Madrid I find the following passage, showing the misery that prevails in and around that city : " For some days past the rain has rendered it im possible for the beggars and unoccupied workmen to sleep in the fields. They have sought the neigh bourhood of habitations and have penetrated into the towns. Madrid is full of them, and it is impos- sible to give au idea of the rags that cover these unfortunate wretches. It is a very aggravating circumstance, with the insurrection threatening to invade Spain at any moment." The Queen is not likely to leave San Sebastian. There were three ships of war in that port; two of them have left, in obedience, no doubt, to orders from insurgent chiefs; for, as you were lately told, the whole navy goes with the insurrection. The report that Espartero had pronounced seems un founded. Whatever his intention may be, under the circumstances he is likely to keep it to himself for the present. Count Girgenti has arrived in Madrid. An in surgent man-of-war presented itself before Corunna and invited the garrison and town to join the move ment, but the General commanding refused and the ship withdrew. There are grounds for believing that in high official quarters here the Queen's cause is looked upon as desperate. The conviction of the public is becoming decided in the same sense. The stay of the Queen at San Sebastian and the appearance of Gonzales Bravo and his accomplices at Bayonne are looked upon as very ominous signs. The Spanish frontier may now be said to be un guarded ou this side, as regards the passage of Spaniards. All police surveillance has for some few days past been suspended. There is the amount of military observation usual when an adjoining country is in a state of commotion. The proclamation sent to you yesterday appears in several of to-night's Paris papers. It is signed by Col. Baldrich, well known as having figured in former insurrections in Catalonia. The Patrie this evening is perplexed with doubts, and knows n ot what to believe. It considers the Queen's resolution to stay at San Sebastian uufortu-. " The French Government," says, "is not indifferent to the events in Spain, but it has not yet to act, it only has to watch the course of events. The policy of the Imperial Go vernment protests against the supposition of an in tawention. This evening's 7 e»zps declares that, after studying and comparing all the despatches re ceived, it cannot doubt of the triumph of the insur rection. The Siecle publishes a violent article against the Spanish Government and the conduct pursued by it for a length of time past. After some very un complimentary observations addressed to the Queen, the writer goes on to say : " Where now is Sister Pa,trocinio ? Of what use has bcen the fact of the Pope's sending to Isabella the golden rose, the emblem of virtue? What ! Spain is Catholic ; she has 100,000 monks, bishops, and priests innumerable, and revolution penetrates there as in heretic countries ! The fact is incredi ble, and the Quell did not at first believe it. But the iutelligence arrived more and more alarming, and the reality forced itself to be at last credited. In these supreme moments crowned heads lkcoine flexible as reeds. Her Majesty, so haughty an Iso hive:mom, is now softened, and willing or unwil lingly agrees to act. The Ministry must be changed, she is told, and at once she charges Marshal Concha to form a new Cabinet. It is in that way that conces sions in extrenzis always commence. The programme of the revolution is perfectly clear ; it proclaims the deposition of the Bourbon dynasty, and thus utterly destroys the hopes of Don Carlos as well as those of the Infanta Maria Louisa, good and honest relatives who ardently covet the succession of Isa bella, and would ask for nothing better than to fish up a Crown out of troubled waters. Afterwards, a Provisional Government is to be substituted and a Constituent Assembly convoked, which should de cide finally on the destinies of Spain. Their scheme is a prudent one ; and we hope that all sensible men, all good citizens on the other side of the Pyrenees who love their country will support-it. is the doctrine of the Spanish Revolution, of the national sovereignty, and we repeat that if it is not executed to-day, it will be to-morrow. The force of things is NO‘at proclaims and wills it, and not we. The Peninsula has two great faults :- 1, The monks, an intolerant clergy, who carefully cherish ignorance, fanaticism, and the most ridi culous superstitions ; 2, an unbridled soldiery without any counterpoise. These must absolutely be cured or the patient will die. But nations do not expire with their own consent. As to the Bourbon Monarchy it is struck to the heart, and we sin cerely hope . that the present movement will rid the peninsula of it. This first step will be decisive. The principal obstacle will be overthrown. The reac tion of which the centre is at Rome had three head quarters—Vienna, Naples, and Madrid. The first has burst its bonds, the second threw itself into the arms of Garibaldi, and the third is now going to emancipate itself from its long slavery." The Debats expresses the opinion that the King of Prussia's language at Hamburg cannot admit of any intepretation whatever but that of peace. The writer says : " On this occasion it seems to us that the most decided pessimist could not, even with the aid of the most ingenious commentator, find in the short statement forwarded by the Havas Agency any threatening intention or sinister prognostics. When King 'William declares that every one has need of peace, and that he has the strongest hope of its not - being disturbed by what process could the necessity and imminence of a great war be deduced from these words ? When he affirms that he cannot possibly comprehend how in his speech at Kiel any thing could be discovered except the most energetic expression of his confidence in the maintenance of tranquillity, how can that allocution continue to be treated as a programme of approaching hostilities ? The Paris and the Vienna journals must give the case up, for they have lost a convenient subject of declamation. The King's words seem to deprive of all opporttineness the gossip written by the Paris correspondents of foreign journals on the measures taken or in preparation in France with a view to war. We have never thrown away our time in looking at these statements, and we are surprised to find the Epoque thinking it necessary to notice, even in order to declare improbable, the alleged project which two Belgian journals attribute to the French Government—of suspending by the Senate, in case of an armed conflict, the laws on the press and on public meetings. The Assembly in ques tion has the right of rejecting bills voted by the Legislative Body, or of sending them back for fur ther consideration ; but once it has declared its determination not to use this privilege, and that the laws are sanctioned by it and approved by the Emperor, the.. Upper Chamber can neither abrogate nor suspend them by its sole action ; in virtue of the-initiative accorded to it, that Assembly can do no more than request the Government to propose to the Deputies another bill to modify those already passed.. The measure spoken of would be, 'therefore,' purely and simply a coup d'etal. Besides, it would be still more impolitic than illegal.". A CHARGE MADE BY A FRIEND. The following appears in an evening paper :—" An occurrence took place at Dungarvan the other day which deserves strict attention. One Dr. Hally, a Roman Catholic priest, who is a warm supporter of Serjeant Barry, is reported to have declared that it was `a hellish lie got up from the lowest pits' to say that Serjeant Barry prosecuted the Fenians. As Serjeant Barry most undeniably was counsel for the Crown on many accasions, this assertion seemed a bold one ; and accordingly Dr. Hally explained it by saying, in language much too flowery and emphatic to be repeated at length, that Serjeant Barry accepted the brief in question by Dr. Rally's advice, in order that the accused might not be prosecuted by " an Orange barrister," in which case "not one at all would escape," whereas if Serjeant Barry held the brief he would be "more the advocate than the prosecutor." We cannot for a moment believe that a serjeant-at-law and a member of Parliament has been guilty of such disgraceful treachery to his profes sion and to the Government as is imputed by Dr. Hally to Serjeant Barry. If he had been, no professional pun ishMent could be too severeforhim ; but when such a charge is made in such a manner, when an attempt is made to secure for Serjeant Barry a seat in Parliament by claiming for him as a merit treachery to the Crown in his professional capacity, he is surely called upon to disavow so disgraceful a compliment, and to deny with the utmost publicity the charge which it implies. FREAKS OF A DRUNKEN C.APTAIN. An extraordinary charge of drunkenness, preferred against Charles Adam Strachan, late master of the barque Castlehow, has been investigated at Liverpool. The vessel sailed from London in March 18G7, for a voyage to Val paraiso, and after trading between that place and Monte Video and San Antonios, returned to Liverpool in August of this year. During that time the captain appears to have been drunk whenever he could get at spirits, and he had frequent attacks of " the horrors," during which he threw an iron belaying-pin on one occasion at the head of his second mate and nearly killed him, and on another occasion he jumped overboard one Sunday night, and was with difficulty rescued. He used to go ashore and live in a state of drunkenness at an hotel until found and taken to the ship again. Once he got into the hands of the police, but escaped. At one place the vessel was detained a month because • the captain was " spreeing " ashore. At Valparaiso he had to be put into the hospital, as he was suffering from delirium tremens. In his fits of inebriety the ship had to be sailed and taken charge of by the first mate. Curiously enough, when no spirits were to be had the captain was an excellent sailor, and all that a master need be. On the voyage home to Liverpool he behaved steadily, but that was owing to the firmness of the mate, who threatened to break the bottles if any spirits were brought on board. When the ship arrived in Liver pool the master broke out again, and left the ship to take care of herself. The board decided that the only course they could take was to cancel his master's certificate ....toget.l.r, and this was accordingly done. THE ABERGELE ACCIDENT. it a meeting of the Dublin Corporation, on Tuesday, the Lord Mayor said he had received the reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the congratulatory addresses which had been forwarded from the corporation. The Duke of Abercorn wrote : " It is with great pleasure that I tender to you my most earnest thanks for the kind feeling which has induced you to offer your congratulations on the merciful preservation of the Duchess of Abercorn and the other members of our family from the awful fate which befell so many others in the late railway accident at Abergele. I rejoice that the same merciful Providence which shielded them from harm has likewise protected others, for whose safety I beg to offer to you, as their fellow-citizens, our sincere congratulations. Our feelings are most deeply enlisted in behalf of the unhappy sufferers in this calamity, as well as those whose relations and friends were so suddenly taken from them by this appalling catastrophe, and I fully concur in the expression of sympathy which it has elicited from you. I again thank you for your demonstration of interest on our behalf, mid I accept it with gratitude as an indication that the close connection in which my official positio - ; , r 1 placed in and my family with the city of :Dublin ing the hit tra years has resulted in the establishment of such personal regard towards us on the part of its citizens. We have ever been most anxious to secure this gratifying result, and you may rest assured that no effort on our part will be omitted to cement and strengthen the kindly feelings which have prompted and are expressed in your address." Mrs. Russell, the lady murderously assaulted on Monday night, is slightly better, though not out of danger. In the district of St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, sot long ago the scene of some serious Sunday riots, the clergy have succeeded in establishing a mission chapel, which is to be formally opened on the 6th of October. Lord Mayo, who does not at present possess wily lecorations, will, it is rumoured, receive the ribbon of the order of St. Patrick, vacated by the death of the Marquis of Downshire. It is believed that the other ribbon of the samo order, rendered vacant by the death of Lord Farnham, will be bestowed upon the Earl of Erne. An Irish contemporary states that Lord Mayo will resign the office of Chief Secretary on the Ist of October, and will leave Dublin for India in about ten dayE after wards. Mr. Lowther, the Conservative member for York, addressing his constituents on Tuesday, amongst other sub jects spoke upon that of the Irish Church, remarking that, now that the commission had reported, it would become the duty of the Government and the Conservative party to determine the question, and, without attempting to fore shadow the policy of the Government, he felt justified in affirming that the language always held by the parts was a guarantee that they would bo prepared to consider it with a view to redress any grievances and anomalies which were proved to exist, and to place so invaluable a boon as the Established Church in Ireland on a firm and satisfactory basis. The Church News states that the reason why the Bishopric of Peterborough has not yet been filled up is that the Prime Minister Las been so " pestered" by the Evange licals that he scarcely knows what course to take. There is a rumour, not mentioned bs any of the Church papers, that the bishopric is likely to be conferred on a very distinguished evangelical clergyman in Buckinghamshire, whosq appoint ment (if any evangelical is to bo promoted) wotAl be ac ceptable to the High Church party. The Irish Times says—" It is in contemplation to . brea!: up the military store stations in Ireland, except the two large stations, viz., Dublin and Queenstown (Ilan'bow line). It is considered that a sufficient reserve of military stores can bo kept at those places for the army in Ireland ; and, as there is now a network of railways ir4 this country sufficient to afford the requisite faciliity fob the transit of stores from ono military post to another hero they may bo required, it is quite probable that Enniskillen, Athlone, and Carrickfergus will be discontinue&as soon as possible after the introduction of the new contro4system on the Ist of October next, and by which a comisleriple saying to the public will be effected;", ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last night a meeting was held in the Greencoat School, Stepney, for the pur pose of hearing Mr. J. I)'A. Samuda, M.P. for Tavistock, and one of the four Liberal candidates for the borough, express his political opinions. Mr. Harrison occupied the chair. Mr. Samuda's rising was the signal for great uproar, mainly created by a small but determined body of men at the end of the room. A scene followed that almost defies de scription. The meeting rose and stood upon the benche3, and a labouring man climbed up to a shelf near the ceiling and posted on the wall a large pla card announcing an open-air meeting in support of Mr. E. Beales, one of the rival candidates. In about half an hour it became evident that no business could be done, and the chairman, having declared the meeting to be dissolved, vacated his position. The meeting, however, refused to adjourn, and continued to hiss and cheer The man on the shelf essay ed to address those present, but nothing could be heard, though his gesticulation was highly energetic. At last he gave up the at tempt to make himself heard, lit his pipe, and pointed to the Beales bill. Several attempts were made to drag him from his position, but they were strenuously resisted by a compact body of his supporters. Some posters of Mr. Coope, the Con servative candidate, were then exhibited, and were received with some enthusiasm, followed by a dis play of physical force on the part of those to whom they were not agreeable. The room was still crammed to , suffocation when Mr. Samuda, sur rounded by his friends, forced his way out of the hall, pursued by alternate groans and cheers. IficKNEY.—Last night Mr. C. Reed addressed a meeting of the electors at the Shoreditch Town hall, which was much crowded. Mr. Samuel Morley took the chair, and congratulated the elec- tors that it was not a class which was about to vote, but, in a large sense, the people of England. Ile felt confident that Mr. Gladstone's majority would be at least doubled in the new Parliament. He considered that the electors of Hackney would be perfectly safe in entrusting their repre sentation to his old friend, Charles Reed. No public man could be competent to give an opinion or ex ercise an intelligent judgment upon questions con nected with Ireland without visiting that unhappy country. He had recently seen the condition of the people, and it was a disgrace to a Christian country. Ile had visited a large number of what he could not call the cottages, but must call the dwellings of the poor, in comparison to which his own pigstyes were palaces, and that on property which ought to be made to do its duty. Should he be fortunate enough to obtain a seat in the House of Commons, which he expected he would, he should feel that, next to this prominent Church question, which could not and ought not to be delayed, he was bound to unite in any reasonable effort to compel property to do its duties. Same means must be fuuud by which men who were our own flesh and blood and our fellow- countrymen should all be lifted out of the state of misery and wretchedness in which they were living. (Cheers.) The great curse of Irc land was an obsentee proprietorship. He saw in the measures of Mr. Gladstone hope for the coun try at last. Mr. Reed gave a general exposition of his political opinions, dealing chiefly with the Irish question. Ireland, he said, was the Poland of Eng land. This country had ruled Irishmen by penal laws, and had goaded them into disloyalty. They had forced Popery on the Irish people centuries ago, and now they wanted, by the bayonet and the sword, to force Protestantism upon them. Bat he felt it possible, before Mr. Disraeli went to the Mansion-house dinner, that he might yield to public opinion and give up the Irish Church. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Reed) should give a hearty support to the policy enunciated by Mr. Gladstone. A number of questions were put to Mr. Reed and answered by him. A resolution pledging the meeting to support his candidature was passed. Mr. John Ilolms addressed a meeting of the electors last night in the school-room of the Methodist Chapel, in Packington-street, better known as Britannia-fields Chapel. The place selected for the meeting is Just without the boundary of the new borough ; the reason assigned for holding the meeting out of the borough was inability to obtain rooms sufficiently large within its limits. Mr. James Martin was called to the chair. In reply to questions, which were freely addressed to him, Mr. Hams said he had nothing to do with the dis turbances created at the meeting of the Conserva tives held a few nights since at Shoreditch Town ball. Ile wished the contest to be conducted in a spirit of generous and gentlemanly rivalry. Ho would like all trades' unions t) have the same !protection extended to them and their funds as was extended to benefit societies. He was not in favour of long Parliaments, and he believed that so many great questions would have to be decided by the voice of public opinion that without any legislative action whatever the duration of Parliaments would be, shortened. Upon the motion of Mr. Andrews, seconded by Mr. Bull, a resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr. Holins was unanimously agreed to. ANGLESEY.- - Mr. Richard Davies, of Benarth, Conway, is now the only candidate for this county. H e i s a Liberal,:and was opposed till lately by Lord Clarence Paget, commanding Mediterranean fleet, also a Liberal; but the latter gentleman, finding his chance of being elected during his absence exceed ingly small, has retired. Mr. Davies is a Noncon formist, and very popular in Anglesey. The Hon. W. 0. Stanley, M.P., Penrhos, Holyhead, a Radi cal, is so far the only candidate for these boroughs. BIRMINGIIAM. — Ward meetings are being held nightly by the candidates on both sides. On Wed nesday evening Mr. Sampson Lloyd and Dr. Evans addressed an important meeting of the gun trade. The interest and excitement incident to the election increase daily. It is expected that Mr. Bright will take part in the strife about the second or third week in Otober. It has been suggested that he should address four or five divisions of the consti tuency, that mode being regarded as more suitable to the occasion than set speeches in the Town-hall, but on this point nothing definite has yet been de `ermined. BLACKBURN.—At Blackburn, on the evening of the 23d inst., the Irish Church question was ap proached from a point of view differing from that in which it has been treated of late in'the majority of Parliamentary boroughs. A meeting, under the presidency of Mr. R. Hutchinson, D.L., assembled to hear a statement on the subject by the Rev. S. G. Potter, M.A., rector of Dunc3rmack, Ireland. The rev. gentleman attributed the attack upon the Irish Church directly to the machinations of the Jesuits, and called upon those whom he addressed to join the only organization that had shown itself able to cope with them—the Orange institution. So many who formerly held aloof from their body had joined it since the recent agitation commenced that Mr. Gladstone might well be called " the Orange recruiting sergeant." CARNARvoNsniftE.—There is a very prevalent rumour that the Hon. G. D. Pennant, the Conser vative M.P. for this county, and eldest son of Lord Penrhyn, will be opposed by Captain T. L. D. Jones Parry, of Madryn, Pwllheli, in the Liberal interest. No address has yet been issued by Cap tain Parry. Tke election for the Carnarvonshire boroughs, which comprise the city and borough of Bangor and the boroughs of Carnarvon, Pwllheli, CI icuith, Conway, and Nevin, promises to be a ra ther severe one, and the Hon. T. J. Wynn, son and heir of Lord Newborough, standing in the Conser vative interest, and Mr. William Btilkeley Hughes, M.P., again soliciting the honour of re-election as a Liberal. The supporters of the latter candidate he'd a meeting in Bangor on Saturday evening, at which Mr. Hughes appeared. Many attended who evidently did not share the opinions of the speakers, who were all local, but the meeting was orderly to the end, and resolutions in favour of the candida ture of Mr. Hughes were carried. Bath candidates are pursuing an active canvass. DERBYSHIRE (EASTERN DIVISLON).—The Liberal candidates, the Hon. Captain Egerton and the Hon. Henry Strutt, attended at Chesterfield on Monday evening a meeting of the county electors in that neighbourhood, and they were heartily wel- corned by many of the gentry, manufacturers, and colliery proprietors. Captain Egerton took the opportunity of defending his relative the Duke of Devonshire from an attack which had been made upon him for his views respecting the Irish Church. Stansfeld and Colonel Akroyd addressed another meeting of electors on Wednes day night. A vote of approval of the conduct of the sitting members was agreed to, but not unani mously. 711 E UNP UNC7 UAL G UE,S7 . He is asked for &Nen ; at half-past seven or a quarter to eight, in he comes, with a happy smile on his face, as if he had struck the very point of time, and. knew nothing of such vulgar annoyances as chilled soup or sodden entrées. If he can say that he missed the train, he is quite at ease with himself and all mankind; if he can further say that a man came in and kept him that is reason enough and to spare for being too late for heaven. It never seems to occur to him that it was part of his duty not to be too late for the train—and that if any man whatsoever came in, his first obligation was to send him out again when the fitting moment for departure arrived. He can give no valid rea son why he should have been late. His chief duty was to keep his dinner engagement punctually , and all the rest is merely excuse, .of no real value to any one. I have known a man of this kind, asked for seven, come in jauntily at nine. He had a patient, timid hostess, who had counted on him as a tower of strength, being a man with a presence and a jovial manner, and au abundant atmosphere, and a generous vitality, and who, therefore, was of considerable value to the young dinner-giver. She waited for her tower just one hour and five minutes by the clock. When another half hour had passed he entered with the air of a prince coming to his throne, and coolly accepted the offer Of such meats and dishes as had long ago been accepted as accomplished facts. He said he had been kept; further, that he had missed the train ; and he bad not the shadow of remorse so soon as he had made his excuse. The distress of the young hostess, her anxiety lest her dinner should be spoilt and he r guests set out of tune, the fiercer annoyance of the host, careful of his bride and specially desirous that her trial dinner should succeed, the discomfiture of the people whose places he had already deranged and now again shifted-- all this was of no more consequence to that Pre punctual guest than so many drops of rain fall ing gently on the back of a sailiug swan. I a ll ' bound to confess that my friend is notorious for this kind of thing. He is the best fellow in t he world, frank, warm, and generous, a faithfel, friend, and kind and noble-hearted in all his 0 ; lations, but he is unpunctual. You mu st give him a margin of perhaps some hours in all yet i ' , appointments with him, and then think yourself lucky if you get him at the end. Ile makes it a practice to begin to dress at the hour of invitations and he lives half a dozen miles from everywhere . " Dickens's " All the Year Round."
