BERNAL OSBORNE on Monday evening made his first electioneering address to his constituents at Nottingham, and, notwithstanding the illness which has so long delayed his appearance, the hon. gentleman spoke with all his accustomed fluency and animation. Mr. OSBORNE always an able advocate, he is never at a loss for words to plead the cause of his client, and his client in, this instance is no less a personage than the leader of her Majesty's Opposition. With regard to Reform, to the na tional expenditure, and to the Irish Church, the member for Nottingham is quite ready to fight the battles of his leader. "If they sent him to Parlia ment," he told his audience at Nottingham, " he should be found at Mr. GLADSTONE'S back, ready either to take the forlorn hope or to join in storming the citadel." On the Irish question, in deed, he is prepared for wholesale changes. The whole system of governing Ireland is in his esti mation " vicious and rotten." The ruling by a Viceroy, he thinks, is " bad in principle," and he thinks also that Irish landlords should be compelled to reside in Ireland, though how that is to be car ried out he does not condescend to tell us, getting out of the difficulty by a quiet " some way or other." As for the national expenditure, Mr. OSBORNE declared that the taxation was " per fectly ample," and he thought our expen diture excessive. Reasonably enough, he does not wish to economise in the pay of our soldiers, and fairly praises the Govern ment for having raised it. When the pay of every artisan and labourer in the country was rising, it was not too much to expect that they could fill the ranks of the army with the same pittance given 20 years ago. It was a useful, a necessary, and an honourable expenditure. As for the Abyssinian ex pedition Mr. OSBORNE has the courage to confess that he was opposed to it, thinking it a questionable thing to involve the taxation of the country in Quixotic expeditions. On education Mr. OSBORNE speaks to the point. He cites Scotland and Prus sia as instances of its power. Prussia, he declares, achieved her successes as much by her schoolmasters' primer as by her needle-gun, while Scotchmen flourished the world over, just because they were educated. The member for Nottingham is an old and tried supporter of the Ballot, and we are glad to find him as hearty as ever in the cause. Instead of holding with some politicians that the Ballot will be lees needed in the enlarged constituencies, he believes it will be more wanted than ever. There will be, he says, so much pressure brought to bear, not only from the rich, but from other classes, upon the poor, that the ballot is A positive necessity, both as a meaus of expediting the polling of the electors and for the protection of their principles. Mr. OSBORNE, however, objects to try the merits of the Ballot in his own ease, for he distinctly declines the proposal of the Liberal Registration Society, that the multiplicity of Liberal candidates shall submit their claims to the ballot to decide which shall withdraw. Mr. OSBORNE, notwith standing the apparent inconsistency, has reason on his side. He is a man of some note, of decided ability, and of considerable Parliamentary experi ence. He would be a loss to the House, where there is always a sufficiency of respectable mediocrities, and where we need to keep as many individual figures as we can. A ballot to decide the claims of new and untried candidates for the popular suffrages is all very well, but men who have really worked hard in the Parliamentary arena and won their laurels deserve at least the distinction of going unfettered to the poll. Last evening Mr. COOPE held another meeting of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, and delivered an address to the constituents of Bow. He went over again the principal topics of the day, de claring himself to be opposed to the disendo wment of the Irish Church, though in favour of removing the anomalies which existed in it. On the subject of the poor rates he spoke at some length. Mr • COOPE is certainly in this respect admirably quali fied to represent the interests of this densely populated constituency, which suffers so heavily from the burdens of the rates. Mr. COOPE asserts that he has always been deeply impressed (as any man familiar with the locality might well be) with a cense of the oppressive nature of the rates at the East-end. Trade at the E tat-end has of late been greatly depressed. The sugar trade, the silk trade, the shipbuilding trade, all had suffered. The small shopkeeper had less trade and less profit, and while the profit be came less the poor rates became heavier and heavier. To the labouring classes Mr. COOPE spoke as an old and tried friend, neither flattering nor misleading them ; and he was listened to throughout with deep attention, and rewarded with warm applause at the conclusion of his interesting address. Speeches to the constituents are fast multiplying upon us, and it is easy to see that expectation is rife as to the chances of the ensuing campaign. The Hon. F. STANLEY has addressed several meet ings of late, and at one in Stalmine, he passed some observations on Mr. GLADSTONE'S address, which are intesesting to notice. The hon. member alluded very significantly to the circumstance that the Liberal party, through its spokesman, is taking the credit of the Reform Bill to itself, whereas though the House of Commons lent most powerful aid to the Government, the measure was due to the exertions of the Conservatives. Not content with this wholesale appropriation, these zealous ex ponents of the truth go on to say that the Conservatives are responsible for the bad parts of the bill, while they and their friends contrived to secure to the country the better portions of it. It is not to be wondered at that Mr.,STANLEY should make some attempt to set this right before those whom he addresses, and he re calls some rather awkward facts to mind —as, for instance, that it was not an unusual thing to be seen that Mr. GLADSTONE and his more immediate followers went into one lobby, while the Govern ment and its supporters went into another whenever what was called a "vital" part of the Bill was to be decided upon. This work of " co-operation," to say the least of it, is one of a very novel character, and it is hardly likely to impress the minds of those who can at all appreciate the meaning of the thing. In referring to the circumstances which led to the introduction of the Bill in 186:2 to the house, the hon. member dwelt upon the great difficulties which lay in the path of the DEnnv Go vernment, and it was only the strong sense of duty on the part of the noble earl which induced him to undertake the task. He anal his colleagues had indeed no light endeavour before them, and they ought to be appreciated for their energy and enter prise. It is an ungracious thing, now that the time has arrived for the decision of the country to be taken on the affair, for those who failed themselves to contradict plain statements and begrudge their opponents what is fairly due. Whether through mismanagement or incapacity Mr. GLADSTONE did fail in the endeavour to get a Reform Bill through the House of Commons, and that with a major ity of sixty or seventy to bear him out, and if the present Administration had not set to work 1 - 1 ith might and main the country would still have the vexed question in the future and not the past. The greatest indignation has been ex pressed in certain quarters for the persistency with which the Government kept office this year, but they had not in reality finished their self-imposed work of Reform, and this only reached completion a few days before the close of the Session. One battle ground during these election contests is to be found in the consideration of the finances of the country, and this Mr. STANLEY touched upon with great adroitness. Mr. GLADSTONE, in his elebrated speech at St. Helen's, contrived to raise the extra expenditure in a very con venient fashion from the " two" millions he denounced in Parliament to "three," which formed the theme of his electioneering animadversions at the outset of his campaign. It is, indeed, a" little hard," as here declared, that Mr. GLADSTONE should pronounce so hostile an opinion on the mangement of the finances by his successors when he is himself in a great measure responsible for the amount they have spent, for these reasons, that he and his friends left matters in a very inefficient state, and also be cause they had every opportunity in Parliament of proposing an effectual remedy to the extravagance they complain of. The "reckless expenditure" which sounds so well in speech, and communica tions, when it comes to be looked at minu 4 ely, dwindle away in a very marked manner. It ap pears that Colonel PATrEs has looked over the votes in respect to money voted for the services of the country since this Govermment came into office, and has ascertained that only upon one occasion did a division actually take place, when the Conservatives voted for the reduction of the expenditure and the Liberals for its augmentation. Lord HARTINGTON'S address to his constituents contained some very confident expressions as to the superiority of the financial management of the army during his tenure of office compared with that of his successors. If, however, we look at the subject in all its bearings, what is to be said. Suppose, as Mr. STANLEY ably puts it, there had been a war soon after the noble lord retired from his economical exploits how would the country have fared ? What would the Commander-in-Chief have done had he desired to occupy the fortifications, and what would have been the position of the naval authorities had they " wished to put proper arma ments into the new class of vessels which it is now found necessary to construct ?" General PEEL de clared, and no one has yet disproved any of his statements, that he found Woolwich Arsenal covered with guns which were unfit for use. In the face of all this we hear that Mr. GLADSTONE will not retract one iota of his remarks on the sub ject of the expenditure, so that we are justified in believing that his strictures were intended to answer a purpose which has not yet been fulfilled rather than to elicit the truth of the matter, or satisfy the doubts that existed as to the requirements of the public service. As time passes we are the more convinced that the Spanish Government was well prepared by the feeling of the country for the changes that were rendered necessary. Unless this view of the case be taken, it is impossible to account for the amazing rapidity with which one important alteration after another is effected, and to the entire satisfaction of the community; and it appears several important decrees have just been issued, which will, if carried out in their entirety, materially affect the character of the Constitution. The Minister of Justice has ordered the suppression of the order of the Jesuits throughout the Spanish dominions, and decided that within three days' time all the colleges and institutions of the order shall be closed, and the property confiscated to the State. The Junta pro poses the extinction of all religious communities that have been established since the year 1835, and also proposes that the members of the other religi ous corporations should be empowered to declare themselves " free." There is a decree relating to .he army, which permits the return to their coun- try of all officers and soldiers who have been exiled for political reasons. Gen. ESPARTERO has written a congratulatory letter to Marshal SERRANO, in which he offers him his support to the principle of the " na tionalsovereignty." This expression of feeling on his part cannot but be looked upon as of great service to the cause of progress. It is always much to be regretted at times of change like this in Spain when the more potent and distinguished members of the new regime dispute among themselves, and it is a subject of felicitation that we have not to deplore it on the Peninsula at this critical hour of the proposed attempt to improve the condition of things. Some doubts have existed from time to time as to the state of feeling in Cuba, and in deed a panic prevailed on the Bourse the other day in consequence of unpleasant rumours, but it is now stated that the Government is confident that the Captain-General of Cuba, Gen. LEIISUNDI, will acknowledge the Provisional Go vernment so soon as the mail steamer shall arrive at Havannah from Cadiz. The whole country has now given in its adhesion to the Ministry and Cen tral Junta, and we may therefore look upon this change in Spanish affairs as so far a settled thing. It is really surprising that a country should under go so complete a transformation so suddenly, and the most sharp-witted among political prophets has certainly been at fault here, for who thought or expected a month or two ago that before Christ mas old things would have passed away, and new things would have taken root in a land where old customs were adhered to with so much tenacity, and where prejudice reigned rampant, and seemed to strengthen and flourish in proportion as the other kingdoms of Europe shook off the yoke of old times, and set about adapting themselves to the mare modern fashions? Spain has, indeed, swept into a "younger day," from the shadows of past ages of dark intolerance, and the best wishes and earnest hopes of all lovers of progress and indepen dence will attend her in her arduous efforts, and hail her success in a cause that is prosecuted with so much moderation. As a matter of course the Government of the United States has confirmed their representative's recognition of the new Government of Spain, and the Governor of Cuba has declared his allegiance. The Americans naturally sympathise strongly with the movement and must watch the breaking of the yoke so long worn by the Spanish people with keen interest. The news by the mails from New York to the beginning of the month show that the unfavourable condition of the finances is attracting a good deal of notice. Mr. DELMAR'S statistics have startled the commercial circles, and the Treasury has thought it desirable to give them a semi-official contradiction. The Department states that Mr. DELMAR failed to include in his estimate a sum of over one million dollars, the balance on hand from last year. Mr. WASTIBURNE, the chairman of the Committee of Appropriation, reports that the re ceipts from the customs during the fiscal year will be $370,000,000, and he calculates the decrease in the expenditure at $67,000,000. However well founded these more favourable computations may prove, it is certain that the present system of military administration in the South en tails most needless burdens on the people. The disturbed condition of the Southern States can hardly be expected to alter until the great election crisis is past and the relative position of white and black a little more clearly depicted. At present there is a constant struggle between the rival parties, and while we hear by one mail that negroes are elected to seats in one of the State Le- j gislatares, we are told by the next that they muti4o TIIE SUN, LONDON, NvEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1868. not share the public conveyances with the whites. To-day's news leaves the negroes in the ascendant, anda bill to prevent their holding office has been de feated in the Georgia Legislature. In Louisiana, too, the House of Representatives has unseated two Re publicans and given their seats to negroes. This is certainly not the way to increase the popularity of negroes among the Republicans; and indeed when ever their professions in favour of the black man are put to a personal test they are very apt to col lapse. On the 2d of October Governor GEAR; with a body of 12,000 soldiers and sailors, walked in procession through the streets of Philadelphia, the demonstration being in favour of GRANT and COLFAX. In New York, on the same day, Gen. 111‘CLELLAN received an ovation from a large De mocratic assembly. The Irish Republicans, to judge from a meeting hell at New York, intend to sup: ort GRANT'S claims to the Presidency very actively. In this meeting several prominent Fenians took part, and delivered speeches. The Fenians are still busy, though they are at present devoting their energies to American affairs rather than to Hibernian. However, they have not as yet succeeded in doing much mischief, and we may hope that the Americans are too shrewd to be easily influenced by their evident Anglophobia. Within the next day or two we shall hear by telegraph the results of the Ohio and Pennsylvania elections, which are usually accepted as significant of the first issue in the great Presidential contest, and are consequently regarded with much interest both here and in the United States. LATEST INTELL MENU. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 13. The Minister of the Colonies has been entrusted by his colleagues with the task of drawing up, in the name of the Provisional Government, a ma nifesto to the country stating the policy of the Ca binet. Senor Lorenzana, the Minister for Foreign Af fairs, has sent a circular to the representatives of foreign Governments at Madrid, officially inform ing them of the formation of the Provisional Go vernment. Senor Lorenzana is also preparing a detailed manifesto to be sent to the foreign Powers. The Official Gazette will publish to-morrow the decree suppressing the Ochois, which will be re placed by a more equitable and less onerous tax. The Government recognises the Greek dynasty which was elected by universal suffrage, and which the previous Spanish Government had declined to recognise. Several English, French, and German banking houses have offered to advance important sums to the Provisional Government. Senor Veja Armijo has declined, on account of ill health, the Spanish legation at London, which was offered to him. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS, PLYAIOUTII, Oct. 14. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Seine with the above mails has arrived here this morning. She brings 85 passengers, 46 sacks of mails, trea sure valued at $2,418,626, and 1,482 packages of cargo. The mails were forwarded by special train at 5.50 a.m., and the Seine proceeded for Southampton. Her news dates from Valparaiso, Sept. 1 ; Grey Town, 16; Jamaica, 24 ; St. Thomas, 29. News from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chili abound with diatribes of the fearful ravages made by the earthquakes and inundations. At Coquimbo the British barques William Leeke, Star of the West, and Manhattan, and the American ship Black Eagle, were all more or less damaged. At Caldera the vessels Oakland and Chili were badly damaged. At Carrisal Bajo twenty lighters were totally lost, and the American brig Delfina, laden with 200,000 kilograms of copper, embarked for Lota, was totally lost. In Ecuador the provinces of Imbambura and Pichincha have suffered very severely, whole fami lies in several instances have been buried beneath the ruins of their houses, and many those who were bruised and maimed, but not killed, have lingered on for several days until death has put an end to their sufferings. Others have been eventually re covered from their perilous situations. In one case a gentleman was got out from the ruins after being buried six days. At Valparaiso, Exchange on London, 60 days 46 to 46; ; 90 days, 46-1 to 46/ ; on Paris, 480 ; GO days ; 482/ to 485 at 90 days. The Italian barque Brignardella, 61 days from Valparaiso, was totally wrecked, on September 4, six miles south of San Francisco. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. - MESSINA, Oct. 13. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Massilia pissed through the Straits of Messina at 6.15 p.m. to-day, en route to Marseilles. GALLE, Oct. 10. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Tigre, with the above homeward mails, arrived here to-day. AMERICA. NEW YORK, Oct. 13, Midnight. The State elections, in Ohio and Indiana, which took place to-day, have been carried by the Repub licans. The contest in Pennsylvania was very close, and the result is at present doubtful. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The returns from Ohio are as yet incomplete, but they indicate that the Republicans have carried the State ticket by a majority of about 20,000. The returns from Pennsylvania are also not quite complete, but they indicate that the Republicans have carried the State ticket electing the Auditor and Surveyor-General by a majority of about 10,000. The Democrats last year carried the State by a majority of 922, electing Mr. Sharswood Judge of the Supreme Court. The returns from Indiana are likewise incom plete, but they show that the Republicans have carried the entire State ticket, re-electing Mr. Baker Governor by a majority of about 8,000. The Republican majority in Indiana in 1866 was 14,202. GREECE. ATHENS, Oct. 13. Joseph Karam is in this city. Fears being en tertained by the French Government on account of his hostile disposition towards Turkey, a French admiral has been ordered from Smyrna to the Pi- raeus. i\l. Comonduros, the chief of the late Cabinet, against whom judicial proceedings have been com menced, has succeeded in escaping from the country.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates. Published by the Messrs. Moxon and Co. This Thirteenth Edition of " Haydn's Dictionary of Dates" forms altogether one of the most splendid repertories of information ever published. It is the cream of all the encyclopmdim.

It embraces within its compass, the whole range, the whole domain, the whole cycle of human knowledge. Let any one master this book, and thenceforth he may con sider himself armed cap-it-pie against all risk of ever being convicted of ignorance. It is one serried armoury of information. And it has this added advantage, and interest, and attraction pecu liar to itself, as a book of reference, that whoever turns to it in search of what can always most easily be found (for its contents are arranged alphabeti cally)—whoever turns to it in search of no matter what, gains for himself a mass of information that he never calculated upon, in the very act of looking for the one specific item he may be in quest of. Dipping into the book in this way, is like taking part in an intellectual game of snap-dragon. In making a dash at the one plum you are grasping at, a flood of light is thrown upon swarms of other plums all around it. The work has long assumed its place as the Standard book of Universal Reference. Relating as it does to all ages and all nations, it never can become obsolete. Besides this, it is one of those rolling stones that is always gathering moss as it rolls, and at the same time is always increasing in bulk, like a snowball. This latest edition of all, the Thirteenth, has been corrected up to June, 1868—and it is more consider able in size, as well as more remarkable for accu racy than all its predecessors. 'The pages are larger, and the leaves are more numerous. Addi tional room has thereby been obtained for the in tro- duction of new matter in all directions. Supplewen .__ tary or illustrative facts never before dreamt of as admitting interpolation here in any way—facts scien tific, geographical, and biographical—are scattered broad-cast over the letter-press, either dropped in parenthetically, or planted here and there unobtru sively as foot -notes. The Dated Index is another and a very notable improvement. So, too, will be found the Chronological Tables, introduced at the very beginning of the work—a work that, as its Editor says of it quite truly, is " not a mere Dictionary of Dates, but a dated Cyclopasdia, or digested summary of every department of human history, brought down to the eve of publication." In Mr. Benjamin Vincent, the Editor in question, a gentleman who has occupied that responsible position in regard to " Haydn's Dictionary of Dates ever since 1855, the Right Man for once has certainly been put in the Right place. From the Seventh Edition, in 1855, to the Thirteenth, in 1868, he has been laboriously renovating the work throughout. To this end he has for years, as we understand, organized a systematic record of events that seem to keep him au courant with the age he lives in, week by week, day by day, hour by hour, as it advances. Seldom, indeed, do we find any thing to have been absolutely overlooked. One in stance only can we at this moment call distinctly to our remembrance. Anther, for example, he mentions as a carbonaceous mineral—giving some other parti culars about it—but he makes no mention whatever of Meerschaum. One extraordinary chronological slip he stumbles into in the article on Atheism, where he say, " Atheism became the ruling doctrine of the French Republic, 1804." When, in point of fact, not only was the French Republic, as it happens, in that very year 1804, merged into the French Em pire, but when, three years previously, namely, on the 15th of July, 1801, the Concordat between Napoleon Bonaparte, then First Consul, and His Holiness Pope Pius VII. was formally signed in Paris, re-establishing the Catholic Church and the Papal authority in France, with the consent and co-operation, nay, it shall be said, in justice to the Great Napoleon, at the direct instance of the national Government. It is worthy of remark also in regard to the article on Lissa, that while one naval fight is mentioned, namely, that in which the Italian Fleet was defeated on the 20th of July, 1866, by the Austrian Fleet, under Tegethoff, not a word is said of a still more notable sea-fight off the same island in the Adriatic, when years ago Sir William Roste led the British war-ships to victory under le most inspiriting signal that ever fluttered from mast-head since the day of Trafalgar—a signal never to be forgotten —two words—" Remember Nelson!" It is curious again to observe that under the head of Campbell's Act due notice is taken of the act intro duced by Lord Campbell, compelling Railway Companies to give Compensation for Accidents— but no notice whatever is taken, in the same place and under the same heading, of what is nevertheless far more popularly known as meant by " Camp bell's Act," namely, that other act introduced by the same noble and learned lord for the suppression of indecent and demoralizing publications--every thing, that is, generically coming under the title of Holywell-street Literature. Still more extraor dinary is it, to our mind, to find under the article Caricature honourable mention made of Gilray, Rowlandson, H. 8., Richard Doyle, John Leech, _ . and John Tenniel : but not one syllable said about the greatest caricaturist of them all—and one who is happily still living—George Cruikshank ! It would have been fair to allude to Bunbury, and Sayer, and Seymour, and one or two others that might be named, but to say nothing at all about Cruikshank is simply absurd. In another edition, moreover, of this Dictionary of Dates, it would be just as well to record on page 191, namely, at the close of the article on Comedy, that when "It was said of Sheridan " --it was so said of him by Lord Byron—" that he wrote the best comedy (the School for Scandal), the best opera (the Duenna), the best after-piece (the Critic)" —and it should be added also, as part of Bgron's remark about Sheridan, the best monody (the one on Garrick), as well as the finest speech (the Beguni speech on the Trial of Warren Hastings)—" in the English language." Again, in the article relating to the Crystal Palace, while the earlier Handel Festivals are noted, there is no reference whatever to the grandest of them all, namely, the very last, the Handel Festival that is of this present year of grace 1868 ! Not that the editor fails to take note of it altogether—simply that ho fails to take note of it there —for un der the head, later on, of Rancid' s Conzinemorations —the three great days, 15th, 17th, 19th June, 1868, are duly specified. It is incomprehensible, moreover, that under the title Musical Composers, while Auber, Rossini, and Balfe, as a matter of course, are mentioned among living contemporaries, nothing at all is said about either Gounod or Verdi ! Again under the record of English Literature, while we miss some names with surprise among our dead and gone benefactors, one there is whom we cannot but grieve to see unnoticed—true poet and true humorist as he was—Thomas Hood I Under the bead Epic we cannot but conceive, moreover, that there have been unduly and most erroneously numbered up with Homer's Iliad, and Virgil's .iEneid, and Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, and Milton's Para dise Lost —as Epics also-0 vid's Metamorphoses, and Sir Walter Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel ! We have particularized these " spots on the sun," these facula3 and macula that are only discernible upon the most rigid scrutiny, because we are de sirous that it should not be supposed for one instant that, in speaking (as we have hero been constrained to do) out of feelings of simple gratitude to those who have performed for us as well as for the rest of the world these herculean labours in the way of com- pilation, we have been indulging in any way in words of extravagant and unmeasured eulogium. NVe have exatnined the book most carefully, and we speak of it, as we have here spoken of it, after hav ing so examined it. And, as the result of our scrutiny, we would once more remark, in conclusion, that we regard this book of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates with wonder and gratitude for its almost invariable accuracy, and for its certainly extra ordinary comprehensiveness.

The papers all write on Spanish matters, but, except the G adds, have nothing but weary comments to offer. But the letter sent by General Prim to the latter journal is most important. It settles the question of a repub lic, and decides in favour of a constitutional monarchy. The following is the most important passage : "I know that a small part of the Paris press has shown impatience, seeming to think we did not go fast enough. lam astonished at this hasty judgment, and I beg of you to rectify it. What ! a revolution slow that is only eight days old, and that has already done what ours has done ! ..No ,v that we are constituted we will soon consolidate the situation on the bases of our programme. With that programme you are acquainted. We hope that with the co-operation of the Constituent Assembly, soon to be convoked, we shall speedily succeed in realising it. We shall then have attained to the political ideal of con temporary Spain--that is to say, a true Constitutional Monarchy, founded on the largest liberal bases compatible with that kind of government." The statement is made on very good authority that an important missive has been sent to Bucharest. La France has said that the English and French Governments are in agreement on the subject of these Eastern matters, and it is believed that the note in question is in accordance with this policy—non-intervention. The Chevalier Nigra has departed at last. lie first goes to Stuttgard, and thence to Germany, where his son is being educated. Count Girgenti has arrived at Paris. He is staying with Count Aguila, with whom the Countess Girgenti resided during the absence of her husband. Don Carlos, the son of Count Montemolin, is also in Paris. For the present he occupies a house in the Rue du Cardinal Pesch. The Evenement places no faith whatever in the reports of the possible recovery of the Duke of Brabant. What ever the bulletins may say, the state of the Prince grows worse daily, and the Queen, occupied with the care of her son, and the Princess Charlotte, for the present performs only the duties of a Sister of Charity. Another distinguished invalid is, too, the subject of anxiety. Count von Goltz has profited much by Dr. Schmitz ; his life may now be considerably prolonged. The malady seems to have shifted its locality : the suffer ing of the patient is less, but it is feared that the agony he formerly endured will soon resume its sway. There is truth in the rumour that the Pays is to be sold. A meeting of the shareholders has been called to consider the propositions which have:been made. It does not appear that the editorial staff will be changed; on the contrary, the paper may in its new hands become more official. A strange accident occurred two days back near the Contras station on the Orleans Railway. A stranger, in hishasto to cross the line; was knocked down by a passing train, which ran over his right wrist, nearly severing the hand from the arm. He, however, immediately got up and ran off, and has not since been heard of. A good story comes from Havre. Two men had nar rowly escaped drowning. They had got intoxicated more or less, and, either missing their way, or staggering, fell into the harbour. The Custom-house officers succeeded in picking both out alive. One of them when rescued urged his rescuers to dive again and get him his hat ! V THE SPANISH REVOLUTION The suppression of the Jesuit community is the most important intelligence from Spain. All religious commu nities and associations are declared contrary to liberty, and the Junta accordingly proposes to suppress all those which have been established since 1835. Their privileges will of course follow their constitution. The suppression of religious communities since 1835 means all those insti tuted during the reign of Queen Isabella—a very large number. Indeed, the intelligence chews that the priestly domination of centuries has come to an end. It is now probable that Catholicism will exist only as a religion in Spain, that it will thus occupy the position to which it has been reduced in Italy and Austria. The action of the revolutionary Government can hardly be deemed surpris ing when the tyranny of the clerical party during the reign of their patron is taken into consideration. General Prim has, and it would seem irrevocably, declared himself in favour of a constitutional monarchy. Such declaration, according to the Standard's special cor respondent, have been made not once, but many times. This fact, together with the exclusion of the Democrats from the new Ministry, point to the direction the revolu tion is taking. The Spaniards will have a king— but who? The letter which the Gaulois says has been sent to Prince Napoleon by General Prim is in some quarters interpreted as an indication that the Prince may, perhaps, be selected by the Cortes. The chances of a monarchy are favoured by the indifference of the lower classes. They care nothing for the exercise of oolitical r:ghts. Some of the Spanish papers advocate the immediate abolition of slavery throughout the Spanish dominions. With res.,: eel - , to the changes in the various departments of the Government, the correspondent of the Herald says: " The changes in the army have been very great, nearly every officer in command having been removed and friends of the present Government substituted in their places. The rest of the Ministry seem disposed to vie with Ser rano in making changes. Prim, who is now installed in the War Office, continues the dismissals and appointments in ,the army. Sagasta seems resolved to make a clean sweep in the personnel of the Home Office, and the others are more quietly following suit. I cannot but think that all this is a very serious mistake. By all means reward your friends when you have an opportunity, but to turn out all old employes because they are supposed to be attached to, or at any rate were appointed by, a former Govern. ment, is to make a number of active and in many cases influential enemies, who will naturally leave no stone unturned to bring about the overthrow of the new state of things." The French Liberal and independent journals generally condemn this policy. The reports of the condition of Senor Perrez Ruiz, the secretary of Gonzales Bravo, are contradictory. Some say he is better; others that his case is hopeless. This, it will be remembered, was the unhappy man who was so roughly handled by the mob at Madrid. An Englishman of the name of Routledge was preseno at the battle of Alcolea. He did not fight, but acted a nobler part. He stepped out between the ranks of the combatants, under fire of rifle and cannon, to pick up the wounded and dying, and to bear them away to shelter and safety behind Serrano's lines. He bore a charmed life ; for all day he laboured at his good work under the deadly fire, and when the danger had passed he went to his ordinary work with a will to get the trains ready for conveying the wounded to the hospitals of Cordova. Serrano rewarded the Englishman on the field with the order of Isabella the Catholic, which the recipient put coolly into his pocket. He is an engineer on the Andalusian Railway.

SUICIDE OF A DYER.—On Monday an inquest was held at Halifax on the body of Thomas Milner, slop dyer.

DISORDERLY GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.-- 41r • Alfred James, gentleman, of No. 15, Charing'nr°; Mr. Frank Hard, gentleman, of the Tavistoe7 Hotel, and Jane Taylor, a well-dressed female, of Grove-place, Brompton, were charged with be: having in a disorderlymanner, and James and Ibr u were further charged with being drunk. Jeremiah Mead, 33 C R, said that a little after one that morning he saw the two male defendant° at the top of the Haymarket, in Piccadilly, with a number of prostitutes and two soldiers with them' As the defendants were making a great disturb' ante he requested them to go away, but they re fused to do so. He got the defendants at last t° go away, but they returned and interfered wit h every one they came near, by pushing against th e passengers, and they went towards Regent-str eet and picked up the female defendant. The male defendants then became very disorderly, said thei were connections of Sir Richard Mayne, an as they were drunk and would not go away, he, with assistance, took them into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable asi ci the female defendant was not drunk. The male defendant said he was persuading one of the gentlemen to go home. He declined to d° so, an altercation took place, and the constable the ° came up and took them all to the station. Police-constable Squire, 24 C, proved seeing the male defendants with six prostitutes, and on telling them to go away they refused, stating that th e y knew Sir Richard Mayne and all the A division 01 police. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did they mean that they had been in custody before ? (Laughter.) The constable went on to say that he afterward° saw the male defendants with about 100 prostitut es, when they said they would do as they liked, and e 5 they were drunk they were taken to the station. James said he knew nothing of there being 10 prostitutes present, and the constable said that there were nearly 200, then 100. Police-constable Portch, 38 C R, proved seeing the female defendant trying to get the others away' and hearing the male defendant m a ki ng a great dis turbance and talking loudly about their connection with Sir Richard Mayne, the A division of pollee, and Scotland-yard. Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the female defendant' as she appeared to have been trying to get th e other defendants away, and fined the male defelY dants 10s. or seven days each, at the same time, stating that they could appe a l to Si r Richar d Mayne if they thought proper.
