Everything seems approaching a climax in Spain, and all the efforts of . the Spanish Generals in the Royal cause cannot enable them to make head against the insurgents. Evea Cordova is not yet recovered, which tells much for the aspect of affairs. Meanwhile the other side are multiplying thßir suc- cesses, and as one i►nportant city after another declares in favour of the movement, it seems im- possible to look forward to the party of progress being vanquished. The QUEEN has lost more than she can ever hope to regain, and by this time the southern part of her realm has almost unanimously pronounced against her. Besides this the two Castiles are hovering i❑ the balance, and when once they and the city of Valladolid joiu the adverse cause the worst may be said to have commenced in respect to com- plete the ruin of the BOURBON cause. It is now consi dered advisable not leave Madrid unprotected, and in order to effect this General CALONGE has been ordered to march into the interior, which is the more unfortunate as he was really gaining some successes. He had, it will be remembered, reco vered Santander after a hard fight, and was think ing of proceeding to attack Santona, but the coun ter orders he has met with will throw away his chance of making some decided impression on his adversaries. It seems an ill-advised step that the authorities Lave taken in this respect, but perhaps they have no choice left them in the desperate po,i tion in which they are placed, and it would not do to leave the capital unprotected at whatever cost it was guarded. It shows how deeply rooted the feel ing in favour of the insurgents is, that at Seville and Cadiz the pronunciamientos were but accompa nied by the loss of a single life. The Provisional Government seem inclined to improve matters as much as possible, and have decreed that Cadiz is henceforth to be a " free port," and " a revolution ary manifestoe which has appeared at Seville pro claims universal suffrage, absolute liberty of the press, freedom of education, of religious belief, and of commerce and trade ; and complete commercial liberty is aimed at, and in waiting till ;that can be carried out with prudence, and gradual reform of the tariff duties is advocated, the inviolability of the domicile and letters is claimed, and a change is to take place in respect to the succession to the Throne and the ar ticles of the Constitution relative to the religion of the State." This comprehensive manifesto con cludes by saying—" Down with the dynasty, and long live the sovereignty of the people !" It appears by communications received from Paris last evening that the state of affairs in Spain had become far more serious during the last twenty four hours, and that many of the private letters received yesterday contain unfavourable tidings that indicate the situation to be bad. A des patch has been received from Bayonne, which states that the " last vessel" of the Royal Navy which had remained faithful has pronounced against the QUEEN. As might be expected, the confusion of affairs makes all the exiled claimants and their friends very active, and many efforts are being made to forward the chances of rival candidates ; but to judge from the temper of the leaders of the party a sort of republic seems most in vogue just now. That Spain will eventually maintain this form of government is most improbable, but for a time it may offer advantages, and prove a refresh ing change to those who have been wearied to death with the faults and follies of royalty. The Spanish Government his issued a telegram to the representatives abroad, informing them that the British Government notified its in tention to send vessels of war to the coast of Spain. General CONCHA a lvised that the step should not be taken. To this Lord STANLEY' agreed ; but the General subsequently found that the insurgents in tended to bombard Carthagena, and informed the Government of Great Britain that they could not take the responsibility of the danger, that the Bri tish subjects might suffer therefrom, and they could take what steps they deemed advisable. This in telligence is another proof of the failure of the town. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1868. Royalist cause, and, taken in conjunction with other circumstances, seems to indicate that the end is fast approaching to a reign that has been unfair to others and possessed no glory in itself. The heavy gales of the last two days have made ,hemselves felt even in the sheltered streets of the metropolis, and many of us, while the doors and windows were rattling in the stillness of the night, or the dust was sweeping along the roads, have cast a thought to those at sea. It is seldom enough that we are visited by a gale of such severity without hearing afterwards the sad chronicles of wreck and disaster. Unfortunately the present is not one of those favoured exceptions, and the accounts which reach us from various parts of the coast are more than usually disastrous. Off Portsmouth there has been a serious loss, the Florence, a steam screw schooner of Sunderland, from Trieste to London, being wrecked within a few miles of the port with a loss of six lives. Twenty were saved by a boat sent out to their rescue, but the captain, an Italian passenger and four of the crew were drowned. The vessel went down head-fore most near the Dean Shoal, the tops of her masts being visible above the water during the day. It is said that at the height of the storm the captain was advised to put into Portland, but that he per sisted in proceeding, as he thought the storm would abate. Many of these total losses might be avoided by the exercise of a little more caution. The delay of a few hours in port would often avoid the loss of the ship and cargo, and the peril of the crew. It has not unfrequently happened that a vessel has been wrecked the very day of leaving port. No doubt it is highly necessary that the commanders of vessels should as far as possible keep time with ,heir employers, but a wise discretion should be exercised when a heavy gale is blowing. To lose or damage the ship and cargo, as well as to risk the men's lives, is very unsatisfactory to all parties, and as no human skill or science ,can altogether avert the consequences of a hurricane it is well to keep out of its direct influence whenever possible. From Weymouth we have even more disastrous tidings, a schooner, the Liberty, from Portsmouth, being lost with all hands. This vessel was lost upon Kimmeridge Lodge, and great efforts were made from the shore to rescue two of the crew who were seen clinging to the rigging. Several boats put off, but were driven back by the violence of the waves, and the spectators on shore had the melan choly spectacle of the vessel reeling over, and the two poor sailors disappearing with it. From Llanelly, Ilowth, Kingdown, Cornwall, and Ilfra combe comes the news of wreck and damage and loss of life, though happily not to such an extent as in the cases just referred to. The lifeboats round the coast are, as usual, doing good service, and their crews are playing their dangerous parts with the traditional intrepidity of British sea men. At Llanelly the lifeboat succeeded in res cuing two of the crew of a shipwrecked vessel; at How th the lifeboat, after great effort, saved four men belonging to the schooner Airdrie ; at Looe, Cornwall, the lifeboat succeeded in bringing in a vessel which was in great danger on the rocks at Ilfracombe ; the Broadwater lifeboat was manned with alacrity at the first rumour of danger, and was out all night busy in its humane errand. It will thus be seen that the difficulty which occurred a few weeks since in manning the lifeboat was altoge ther exceptional and unlikely to occur again. Remembering what terrific storms occasionally visit our coasts, and the dangers which the lifeboat men are called upon to face, we may rather wonder, considering the number of men employed, that any display of hesitation or reluctance on their part should be so rare an occurrence. No doubt the recent difficulty at Ilfracombe has stimulated the seamen of the neighbourhood to greater exertion, and stout-hearted men have come forward eager to redeem the credit of their locality. The coxswain of the lifeboat reports that he never had a more willing or better crew for service on this dangerous coast, and since they were at sea for a great many hours during Saturday, night their self-possession was pretty severely tested. The full story of the gale is not yet told, since it was not altogether abated, but no doubt when the records from the various stations are col lected, we shall find that the National Lifeboat In stitution, of which Englishmen are so justly proud, has been more than usually efficient in its humane and enterprising endeavours to res cue and assist the distressed mariner. As an instance of the disturbed state of the weather we may mention that, on the Norfolk coast, there has been a severe hailstorm, which has destroyed an immense quantity of glass in the vicinity of Ely, as well as heavy thunders, while at Dulwich on the same evening the unusual spectacle of a lunar rain bow was visible. Happily, in these temperate climes such disasters are of a moderate degree, while in the tropical regions the calamities produce their fatal effects upon thousands. The accounts from the scene of the earthquake in South America unfortunately confirm the hurried news imparted by the telegrams of the loss of life and property, and the consequent suffering and destitution en tailed upon the population being even more terrible than was at first represented. Mr. BRIGHT evidently finds himself in an awk ward position just now with respect to the electors. He is to blame himself for having set the style of interfering at all in any place, but at the same time people seem to think that he is to assume a vast responsibility and dictate to many a constituency which is the right man, and inform them how to adopt the best means to secure his return. It is not surprising that the hon. member for Birming ham should find this duty rather too onerous, besides being likely to involve him in unpleasant consequences. The letter he has written to Mr. BRADLAUGiI on the subject of the representation of Northampton will show that he is far from being pleased at having his words taken up so sharply and made so much of one way or the other. It appears that from some observations made by the hon. member a belief was entertained that he was in favour of Lord HENLEY and Mr. GILPIN, and Mr. BRADLAUGH has written a rather indignant remonstrance to him on the subject. " That you should support Mr. CHARLES GILPIN," says the letter, " with the weight of your great influence is natural, but that you should bolster up tumbling Whiggism, as re presented by Lord HENLEY,I confess surprises me." To this Mr. BRIGHT has returned a dignified reply, and one that contrasts favourably with some of his communications. He was asked a simple question about men with whom he acted in Parliament for years, and he made a " direct and honest" reply. After that he add.; that he does not. think it is always wise to select the " moat extreme politician because he is the most extreme." 'nth is a piece of wisdom which is not often met with from M 7.. I BRIGHT, and we commend it accordingly. No don bt he sees the folly by this time of always putt ing faith in those men who make the most professit )ns, and are always ready to decry the services of al ,ers. Another remark of Mr. BRIGHT'S is to the pnrpt , se, where he says that his sympathy does not run wl . th those who seek to divide the Liberal party, on ale ground that some part of it is more advanced thnt the rest ; and to do this is, as he says, calculated to put up the " representation to auction," and there would hardly be a candidate before the public who could not be outbidden. Many impatient and im petuous politicians may learn wisdom from these observations, and we advise them to lay them to heart, for the mistakes they allude to are of most frequent occurrence. LATEST INTELLMENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN, PARIS, Sept. 29. The Moniteur of this morning says:— " There is no news of interest to report to-day from Spain. "The city of Granada has made a pronuncia miento, whereupon the garrison withdrew. The same fact is said to have occurred at Carthagena, where the appearance of the three frigates bad de termined the officers in command to evacuate the town with the troops. " The encounters believed to be imminent between Marshal Serrano and Marquis de Novaliches has not yet taken place. It is agreed on all hands that such an event could have important consequences." The Siecle of to-day states that the brothers Conca Manuel (Marquis del Duero) and Jose (Mar quis of Havana) have jointly addressed a letter to the Queen, declaring that, owing to the refusal of her Majesty to proceed to the capital without being accompanied by Senor Mafori, they were unable any longer to guarantee the situation. On receipt of this letter the Queen gave orders to General Pezuela to form 'a new and complete Cabinet at St. Sebastian, and to summon the mem bers of the State Council. This step is considered to indicate resolutions o grave importance. WEST INDIA MAILS. PLYMOUTH, Sept. 29. A gale is blowing here from the S.W., and a heavy sea is running. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tasmanian arrived here this morning with the West India, Pacific, New Zealand, and Australian mails, 63 passengers, treasure valued at $958,401, and 623 packages of cargo. The mails and 15 passengers were landed and forwarded by special train at 7.30 a.m., and the Tasmanian proceeded on for South- ampton. It is reported that in Tambo Valley, just beyond the new port of Hejra, near Islay, a small town was swept away, and out of 500 inhabitants only 20 managed to escape. Capt. Fox, of the wrecked Liverpool bark Chanarcillo, and who returns in the Tasmanian, has furnished a graphic account of the catastrophe at Arica to the West India papers. The city of Arica was laid in ruins by earthquake at 5 p.m. Half an hour afterwards the lower part of the city was submerged by an earthquake When the first wave recedel the AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. (Via Southampton). SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 29. The North German Lloyd steamer America, from New York, has arrived here with 86 passengers for this port, Havre, and Bremen, 39 sacks of mails, $20,000 for London, and $10,400 for Bremen. NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (Noon). Governor Brownlow has issued a proclamation calling upon the white and coloured loyal men of Tennessee to organise a national militia for the suppression of armed outlawry. Governor Brown low expresses his willingness to co-operate with the national forces if the necessity for the employment of the State militia can thereby be avoided, but adds that he will suppress armed marauders at all hazards. A large and enthusiastic Republican meeting has been held at Rakigh, in North Carolina, after which there was a torchlight procession. The proceed ings passed off quietly. The son of Governor llolden made an inflamma tory address to the negroes, urging them to go fully armed to the poll. Rowdies assailed a Republican procession at Phi ladelphia last evening, when a fight ensued. Pistols were used and four persons were wounded. The disturbance was quelled by the police. The report of Butler's defeat for nomination for Congress turns out to be premature. Advices received here from Hayti state that the Cacos were concentrating in the neighbourhood of Port au Prince. The New York papers publish news from Mexico stating that the Mexican Congress reassembled on the 12th. CROOKIIAVEN, Sept. 29, 6 a.m. The Inman steamer City of Baltimore, from New York, has passed Browhead Signal Station en route for Queenstown. CANADA. OTTAWA, Sept. 16.

CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, September 28. The men of the Second Empire are dying off wiqi startling 'rapidity. Morny and Thouvenel, and many others of lesser note, have been followed by Vcralewskl, one of the most respected of the Imperial councillors, The Moniteur announces his death in the shortest of para graphs. The Etendard gives a very few details. It appears that the Count had arrived at Stras bourg. from Evian, on the Lake of Geneva, and had gone to the hotel La Ville de Paris. As soon as he entered his room he began to change his linen, and while doing that was struck by apoplexy, and died apparently almost immediately. The news has been received here with profound regret, for Walewski was popular on account of his Liberal views. He was too Liberal, indeed, for his master, and only a few months ago resigned the presidency of the Corps Legislatif because his sympathies were too wide. The French papers have almost ceased to be French, so far as their news is concerned. They are well nigh filled with telegrams and despatches from Spain. These are read in Paris with an eagerness of which you in England can have little idea. This is not surprising, perhaps, considering that the Spanish frontier adjoins ours—that Spain is our next-door neighbour. This being so, it is natural that the journals should take sides. The Government organs, unmindful of the fact that the Emperor represents the principle of the Revolution as opposed to dynastic claims, take the side of the Queen ; the Opposition journals take the side of the insurgents. The first have done their best to extinguish the insurrection —on paper ; but at last they cr3 re7urtantly coming to admit :that the matter is serious. To-night there is a report that the insurgents have retaken Santander, and that the whole country has risen. Meanwhile the Queen remains at San Sebastian, close to the frontier. It has been rumoured that she has had a private interview with the Empress, but this is denied in an official communique addressed to the Paris journals. _ . _ Spanish affairs have almost entirely diverted our atten• tion from other foreign matters. But the Liberti informs its readers, in prominent type, that an interview has just taken place at Potsdam between the Czar Alexander and his uncle, the King of Prussia. The first sovereign is on his way to Warsaw, where an enthusiastic reception is being got up to order. The meeting of the two sovereigns is supposed in some quarters to have had an important political object, and to be a virtual contradiction to the pacific announcements of the King of Prussia at Kid and :amburg. Next to the Spanish insurrection, the event of the aay is the duerbetween M. Henri Rochefort, of La Lanterns, and M. Ernest Baroche, son of the Minister of Public Worship. The first, in a recent number of his paper, referred to a letter written by the Duc de Persigny respecting the candidature of the second during the elec tions of five years ago. A letter from a Minister of State about a candidate for the Corps lAgislatif was, one might have thought, a public document. Not so thought M. Baroche. He summoned M. Rochefort, and as the challenged could not return to France, where he has been sentenced to imprisonment, the meeting took place upon the Belgian-Dutch frontier on Saturday, at 9.30 a.m. Baroche chose the sword for weapon, and it was agreed that the duel should continue until one of the two combatants was declared by the surgeons hors de combat. Rochefort had for seconds the two sons of Victor Hugo. Baroche had Adolphe Belot and E. de Loyne. The duel lasted a quarter of an hour, and there were five encounters. At the first Baroche was slightly wounded in the stomach ; at the third he received a slice on the right thigh. He insisted, however, that the duel should continue. At the fifth round the combatants fought close together, and with great fierceness. Baroche re ceived a third wound, this time in the side, and Rochefort's right arm got slashed. The two surgeons then inter posed, and declared that the wounds prevented another encounter. Whether M. Baroche felt his honour healed by the hurts which his body received is not stated. He will scarcely care to meet the man with the lantern again. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. FIRE A 7 7HE SURREY THEATRE. This (Tuesday) morning, at a few minutes past twelve o'clock, considerable excitement was caused amongst the officials and employes of the Surrey Theatre owing to a report being raised that the house had taken fire. All hands were therefore summoned together, and as little noise as possible was made, in order to prevent another panic in the neighbourhood. It was soon ascertained that a fire had taken place amongst some unfinished work and scenery in the carpenter's workshop. This part of the establishment was on the basement, and immediately over it was the paint room, so that at one time it was feared that the fire might assume something of a formidable character. The fireman of the house and other assistance for tunately succeeded in confining the flames to that part of the premises in which they began, and all danger of any extension of mischief, we are happy to say, was over in about five minutes. The damage done is thus officially returned by Captain Shaw to the Board of Works, and also to the insurance offices :—Royal Surrey Theatre, Blackfriars-road ; occupiers, Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick ; some unfinished work and scenery burned, carpenters' workshop in basement, and paint room over, with the contents slightly damaged by fire and water. Cause of fire unknown. The contents of the theatre insured in the Phoenix. Building unknown if insured. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—A portrait model of the celebrated Madame Rachel (" Beautiful for Ever" notoriety), taken during her memorable trial, is now added to Madame Tussaud's world-wide Exhibition in Baker-street. Tae likeness of the lady is most striking, and the costume an exact fix-simile of the one worn by her. NEW RomAs CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL, LONDON. —We understand that land at a cost of some £lO,OOO has been bought near Buckingham Palace for the erection of the proposed new Roman Catholic cathedral, in memory of Cardinal Wisetnau; and that the archbishop's residence, which will adjoin it, is to be commenced immediately. This portion of the work has been entrusted to Mr. Henry Clutton, nephew of Archbishop Manning, who recently joined the Church of Rome. The church . itself and the other buildings attached to it will be from the designs of Mr. E. Pugin. Mr. Clutton has, we believe, published two or three works in connection with Mr. Burgess on " The Domestic Architecture of the Middle Ages." He was also engaged in the restoration of Salisbury Chapter House, and has of late years erected several small Roman Catholic churches.—cork Reporter. ROYAL IRISH CoNs:ABULARY.--The annual re- turn of this constabulary force shows that on the let of January, 1868, the strength amounted to 12,572 officers, inspectors, and men, including the Belfast town force of 446 and 259 reserve force at the depot. The number of horses was 380. The total expense of the force was £871,782, the whole of which was borne by the public purse, excepting £33,917 borne by counties and towns. There were on the Ist January last 72 stipendiary magis trates in Ireland. VACCIN'ATION.—In the year ending at Michael mas, 1867, 490,598 persons were successfully vac cinated by the public vaccinators in England and Wales — namely, 353,308 children under one year old, and 137,290 persons above one year old. The total number is equal to 61 per cent. of the 766,635 registered births in one year, and is an increase of 35,713 upon the number successfully vaccinated in 1869. A new and more efficient VacAna tlon Act came into force at the commencement of the pre sent year, requiring the Guardians of tie Poor to ascertain at stated intervals whether the Act has been complied with in the case of the children whose births have been registered in the union, and if not, to enforce compliance, and there are powers for enforcing the vaccination of children under 14 whose vaccination was neglected in infancy. wave. shipping in the bay was lying in eight fathoms of water. They all grounded, leaving about six feet of water alongside. The second re turn wave was a breaking one, at an elevation of about 60 feet, which totally destroyed the follow- ing vessels :—American storeship Fredonia, with all on board, about 22 ; the Peruvian bark Rosa Riviera ; the brig Edourdo, with all hands ; and the Peruvian frigate Americana was thrown 300 yards above high water mark. Her principal officers, with 130 of the crew, were drowned. The bark Chanarcillo was also thrown 500 yards above high water mark. In Chincha Baja almost all the town was de stroyed by the sea. Arequipa, a beautiful city built entirely of stone, with more than 50,000 in. habitants, was completely overthrown. The loss of life is under 200. The previous report is con firmed that almost the entire city of Iquique has been swept away by the waves. The ports of Pisqua and Migillius no longer exist. The port of Chala is almost ruined ; its inhabitants have had to remove to a distance of eight leagues. The im portant towns of Torata, Cocumba, and Pachia lost the greater part of their buildings. Cula Valley is ruined. In Moquega one hundred and fifty - ships loading at pers t o h n e s cpehriiesheheda. islands sof only for six did not suffertynine damage. Paracas has been swallowed by the sea. The number of victims is as yet unknown. The Pananza Star says :—Counting only what is known up to the present, the evil extends over more than 200 league s.

Sydney, August 2 C r iaraBse l mp 4 ta t e h nl . nb'se i r i d e as r te; p s assengers and despatches Thomas, o T lo h n e , bring further details of the earthquake in Peru and Ecuador. Although no serious effects were expe rienced at Valparaiso , sli g ht sh oc ks were felt, and the earthquake waves, which did so much damage on the coast of Peru, swept into Tolcahuana Bay, on the Southern coast of Chili, on the night of the August 13th, and submerged and destroyed the greater part of the whaling towns of Talcahuana and Fome. There was no earthquake there, but the sea retired from the bay from over one-eighth of a mile. The inhabitants, warned by this phe nomenon, immediately fled to the hills, and on the return of the waves about a quarter of an hour afterwards only a few persons were drowned. There were three of these waves during the night, and one vessel, either Italian or French, was wrecked there. The news already published of the disasters on the Peruvian coast mainly by earthquake and earthquake wave is fully confirmed. In Pisco the sea retired more than 400 yards, and on its return passed its usual limits more than 200 yards, carry ing with it everything it encountered. Captain Fox was on shore when the earthquake occurred, and despatched his boat to bring the crew of his vessel to the land to assist the panic-stricken inhabitants, many of whom were partially buried in the ruins, some with their heads just above ground. The scene is described as most heartrending, the people shrieking and gesticulating in a dreadful manner. When the wave burst over the city it , drowned those who were partially buried by the earthquake. The remainder of the crew, eight in :number, who were left on board in charge of the Chanarcillo perished with her. It is considered that Arica was the centre of the earthquake, and the earthquake waves, and consequently that town suffered the most. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. POTSDAM, Sept. 29 The Emperor of Russia postponed his departure for Warsaw until this morning, in consequence of the Grand Duke Alexis not arriving here yesterday as was expect e]. His Imperial Highness, however, arrived shortly of ter midnight, and was received by the Emperor at the railway station, and his Majesty and the Grand Duke left at eight o'clock this morning for W arsaw.

The slight increase in pressure on our N.B. coast yesterday after noon soon terminated, and since last night a decrease has occurred. On our other coasts the diminution has been considerable, and amounts to almost half an inch in the S. of Ireland. On the W. coast of France readings, though higher than they were yesterday Morning, are lower than they were last evening. Readings are very low at all our stations, especially in the S. of Ireland. Temperature has changed variably. Strong south-westerly gales prevailed on our Channel coasts throughout yestel day, attai ing their greatest force early this morning, since when they have slightly moderated, but con tinue from the same q uarter. A decrease in violence has also occurred in the BaY of Biscay. Weather is very unsettled, and rain has been general. A correspondent at Gibraltar gives some particulars o, Prim's journey from England. He left Southampton in a steamer of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and reached Gibraltar on the morning of the 17th. He was dis guised as a valet, and travelled in the suite of a Swedish Count. He was accompanied by another emigre, who was his fellow-servant. During the voyage the pseudo valet remained in the background, but other passengers have since recollected that when off their guard both master and man appeared to be on strange terms of intimacy. On embarking at Southampton the Count complained in strong terms of the second-class accommodation, and insisted on his valet being furnished with a cabin in the saloon. A steamer awaited the arrival of the mail from Southampton, to which General Prim and his friends were transhipped at once without going on shore. Had he landed great risk would have been incurred, as he must assuredly have been recognised, as he is well known in this fortress. The same evening the vessel in which the con spirators were embarked proceeded to Cadiz. They were anxiously expected, and that same night were taken round to all the men-of-war lying in Cadiz Bay, in order to announce by their actual presence the good news of their arrival. By some means or other, rumours of the expected visit of Prim d got abroad at Cadiz on thenth, and that evening th eat aing demonstrations were madf by the populace. These were suppressed by the autho• ties, the streets were cleared, and next morning the mili tary governor took over the government, proclaiming the town in a state of siege. Cadiz was very restless through• out that morning, but about noon the action taken by the fleet put an end to all uncertainty. About 1 p.m. the six war vessels and two gunboats under the command of Topete formed across the bay and closed the port. This act was followed by a salute of twenty-one guns fired by all the men-of-war, the crews manning yards and cheer ing vociferously. The excitement on shore naturally grew apace. The soldiers were called upon to pro nounce, and responded unanimously. Prim and Topete landed early on the 19th, and took possession of Cadiz in the name of the Revolution. A proclamation _ _ —..- ... was issued by Prim as " general in chief," in which he announced that he had formed a Provisional Junta. Seville fell without a blow. The commanding officer attempted to rally the troops, but they pronounced for Prim. Thereupon he remarked that he did not seem wanted, to which the troops assented, and so he made hie way to Gibraltar with a cocked hat and a revolver. At Aigesiras the commanding officer, finding that the troops were unanimous, joined in declaring for the revo• iution. What qualifies a man for a vote? Many different answers have been given within the last fortni g ht. Here a married man, living in his father's house, is disqualified because he does not lock his door against his father ; there one is disqualified because his brother possesses a latch -key ; and again the great test applied to each lodger claim is, whether the claimant has a key of the street. door. At Liverpool a clergyman claimed as the receiver of certain pew-rents. It was argued by the objectors that the pew-rents did not constitute a revenue, a stipend, or a benefice. The claimant, it was contended, had no legal right to exact pew-rents, and, therefore, his claim fell to the ground. It having being shown that the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had coltributed towards the fund for making a portion of the church from. the claim ins allowed. o t ‘t, ~_-:,.

Yesterday Mr. Alderman Cotton and Mr. Charles William Hutton, the Sheriffs elect for London and Middlesex, were publicly inducted into office at Guildhall, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, the members of the Court of Aldermen, the high officers of the Corporation, and many of the principal citizens. Before being elected to this ancient and responsible office both gentlemen bad come promi nently into public notice, Alderman Cotton as havisg taken a conspicuous part with the late Lord Mayor Cubitt in organising the Mansion house Committee for the relief of the distress in Lancashire during the cotton famine, and Jr. Hutton as having been an energetic member of the Cholera Committee during the mayoralty of Sir Ben jamin Phillips. They had been elected to the office of sheriff without opposition, and yesterday pre sented themselves to be sworn to the due execution According to custom the Lord Mayor went 'rout the Mansion-house to the Guildhall in State :o preside at the ceremony, and the Sheriffs elect, with a long retinue of friends, proceeded thither from Haberdashers'-hall, Gresham-street, of which company Mr. Alderman Cotton, the Senior Sheriff, is a member. On arriving at Guildhall the civic dignitaries, wearing their robes and badges of office, assembled first in the Aldermen's Chamber, and went thence in a body to the hustings in the great hall, where the ceremony was to be conducted. There the new Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs in turn made and subscribed the customary declarations of ()ince, and the retiring Sheriffs, Alderman Stone and Jr. M'Arthur, having divested themselves of their offi cial robes and badges, asssisted the new Sheriffs in assuming theirs. This done, the new Sheriffs re tired into a room in Guildhall and formally received from the out-going Sheriffs the keys of the City prisons, which they immediately afterwards re turned to the respective governors. From Guild hall the new Sheriffs, escorted as before, returned to Haberdashers'-hall, where they entertained about 230 persons at luncheon, including the members of the Court of Aldermen, the Chairmen of the vari ous committees of the corporation, the deputies of the 25 civic wards, the retiring Sheriffs and Under., Sheriffs, many of the past Sheriffs, and t he principal officers of the Corporation. ltiO and left of the chair where Mr. Goschen, neat Alderman Sir F.

To say that they had faults was, in other words, to say they were human institutions , hn " it was to him most gratifying to find, by the Ole cutial assembly in Guildhall that day, that " th e ia r° was life in the old dog yet." The enemies of Corporation knew but little of the great wor ks it bad executed from time to time in the public interest, ar" in which it was now engaged, and he hoped the d ' l la was far distant when any Minister would be h e t enough to lay a destructive finger on that gre . 3 municipality, believing, as he did, that it was a n a ; stituted in all its integrity for the common he n° a of the community.
