The insurrection in Spain is gaining strength,and notwithstanding all that has been said by the authorities as to its gradual decrease, nothing of the kind is borne out by the accounts that reach us of the revolt. In all probability Queen ISABELLA'S days as a Queen are numbered, and she will hold out a warning in her career of the fatal conse quences of perversity. No one living has had more warnings than she has had, but all have been of no use whatever, and she and her advisers have gone on shutting their ears to the voice of warning, wisdom, or reproach, as the case might be. From Paris we hear that a telegram from Bayonne, an nouncing that LOGRANO has pronounced for the insurgents ; and this, it is added, is important, because it implies the adhe sion of ESPAItTERO, and the consequent rising of Saragossa. Madrid publishes intelligence little more reassuring, for it is said that the whole of Andulasia, the soldiers and sailors of Ferrol, and the garrisons of Galicia, Corunna, and Santander have declared on the side of the Revolution. Vari ous commands have been taken by the exiled Gm(3- rals who have returned from the Canary Islands. In many towns the busts of the QUEEN in the public places have been thrown down, and altogether a most bitter spirit seems to prevail, which augurs ill for the extinction of the revolt, until its main ob ject has been accomplished—that of driving away the Royal Family, and substituting a totally diffe rent kind of rule. Some accounts from Spain, which have been delayed in transmission, mention matters having gone so far that the President of the Cabinet has proposed terms, or is inclined to do so, comprising the abdication of the QUEEN. This is significant, at any rate, and seems to indicate the end that is fast approaching. In consequence of the confusion that is prevailing it is no matter of surprise that the telegraphic and postal communi cations are difficult, so that affairs may really be in a more forward state than we are aware of. There is one feature in this revolt that must not be overlooked, and that is, the Spanish nation cannot be expected to support the QUEEN. If the people have not pronounced in favour of either side, there are still unmistakable symptoms that if a change should occur it would not be in clined in the direction of royalty. So far as this country is concerned, little or no regret will be felt for the Sovereign, who:may be compelled to retire. All that has taken place in the Peninsula of late years hts been most inimical to English sentiments, and if the change that is heralded conduce to the improvement of the country involved in it we shall be satisfied. At the same time it must be remembered that change is not always in the right direction, and that unless a more national spirit be in fused into the undertaking, and the latent greatness of the nation be evoked, the alterations may actually lead to evil, as having resulted in a lost chance or a neglected opportunity. Let us hope that if the Bourbon rule is to banish for ever from the land that it may be succeede I by a more patriotic rule, and that the real sentiments of the country may be developed in a far different way than they have ever been before. It is a sad thing that a nation possessing such ample resources should not be able to take its proper place among the king doms of Europe in consequence of evil influences prevailing. Few persons will be inclined to dispute the cor rectness of the verdict given by the jury at Wash ington, Newc istle-on-Tyne, respecting the terrible calamity which so recently occurred there. It will be remembered that the accident by which the lives of four persons were lost, and a fifth placed in very great danger, occurred from the overturning of a jar of diamond oil. 'The evidence given before the Coroner was most conclusive as to the dangerous nature of the oil. A doctor who had experimented with it testifies that it ignited at a temperature of 60 degrees, and that when he put some in a saucer and held a lighted match two inches above it, it ignited. Alderman BELL, ma nufacturing chemist, who has thoroughly studied the nature of these oils, fully confirmed this statement. He found that a drop or two placed in a tube, without any application of heat whatever, gave off instantly a highly inflammable vapour. Poured into a dish, the oil itself indicating a tem perature of only 59 degrees Fahrenheit, a lighted match held at a distance of an inch and a half from the surface communicated a flame, and the oil having thus taken firz continued to burn. A quan tity of the oil was thrown on some moist ground, and, after being absorbed by the earth, took fire instantly on the application of a match, and burnt with violence. No wonder that the jury, with such facts before them, pronounced the oil, from its highly inflammable character, unfit for domestic use. It seems, from the evidence of the agent for the pa tentees, that this diamond oil is a compound of the lighter or more volatile portions of petroleum and paraffin oils together. It has been extensively in use during the last few months both in Great Bri tain and is some parts of the continent. No doubt, too, it has been largely used in America, where the people are more in the habit of risking life and limb for trifling objects than we are. Such a highly inflammable oil of course emits a brilliant light, and, being cheap, is very attractive to lamp burners. It throws, however, all the dangers of gas into the shade, and we may consider it fortunate, from the recklessness with which it has been used, that even greater loss of life has not resulted. The jury justly censured severely both the patentees and their agent for not giving proper precautions to purchasers of the dangerous nature of the oil. So far from doing thi3 they circulated a handbill stat ing the qualities of the 1 nnp for which it wzs used and guaranteeing "perfect safety." It is just to Messrs. BINNING to state that they hare now with drawn the handbill, and they undertake iu future to notify to all purchasers the nature of the oil. We can not but think that in any case such an inflammable material is most unfit for domestic use. Carefully employed in large buildings or for business pur poses its brilliant and volatile nature may turn to LATEST INTELLIGENCE. good account. Indeed it is more than possible that some of our ingenious inventiors may devise some method for economising our fuel by its em ployment in another form. In all such cases diamond oil may play its part safely and service ably; but for storing in small shops, for standing about in kitchens, for careless use among house holds of children, for handling by domestic servants, ignorant of its properties and reck less of its danger, it is manifestly un fit. A worse place could hardly have been found for keeping the dangerous jar than under the kitchen table, but if it had been placed on a shelf in the shop and overturned while the gas was burning ; if it had been placed on the floor of a damp cellar and upset when any one came in with a lighted candle, or struck a match, even if some had been spilt on the heated counter while being served, the consequences must have been identical. According to Mr. STOKOE, whose family has been desolated by its agency, the oil ran along the floor towards the fire, but did not reach it, neither did a cinder fall in. The ignition was instan taneous, and the sheet of flame at once filled the room. The horrors of the story are fa miliar to our readers. They recall the catastrophe of Abergele on a smaller scale, excepting that some escaped with life at Washington, while at Abergele the sacrifice was complete. It is easy to compre hend, after examining the details respecting this accident, how rapid and how irresistible would be the action of the flames when a large quantity of this inflammeable stuff was suddenly ignited by a violent shock. The jury, having no doubt the Welsh disaster in their minds, called the attention of the police and the county magistrates to the question of moving such dangerous com pounds, and we trust that this part of the subject will not be overlooked. Most assuredly no oil of this character should be transmitted by rail way without special and exceptional precautions. It is simply impossible iu remaving a number of barrels to guarantee them against shocks or accidents of any kind, but reasonable, care can be t Aken that they should be removed as far as possible from risk. They should not certainly be placed near the engine, nor in the rear of a train, and it is not too much to demand that one man should be placed in charge of them throughout the journey. The manufacturers and consignees of such material must not object to paying for such precautions if they are to have the privilege of transmitting it at the risk of other people's lives and limbs. The legal representative of the Messrs. BI:INNING said their house sent out about 2,500 gallons of oil per week, and it is not, therefore, too much to require that vigilant care should be exercised with regard to it. Rigid precautions are taken respecting the sale of less dangerous com pounds, and as this inflammable and volatile oil seems getting largely into use it is quite time that the authorities enforced the necessity of care and caution on the part of buyers and sellers. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN, PRUSSIA. MADRID, Sept. 23, Evening. The town of Burgos, in Old Castille, pronounced for the insurgents yesterday evening, after a severe conflict, which lasted five hours, and which ended in the troops fraternising with the people. The Provisional Government has established juntas in all the towns which have joined the in surrection, the regular authorities having taken to flight. No excesses have been committed by the people. Insurgents of Sanlonia have despatched 800 soldiers, with rifled cannon, to protect Santan der in case of an attack, PARIS, Sept. 25. The Moniteur, in its bulletin of this morning, publishes the following : " No noteworthy fact is reported from Spain. General Pavia, whose troops manifest an excellent spirit, continues to concentrate his forces for an attack on the insurgents at Seville. According to news from Venezuela General Bruzual evacuated Porto Cabello on the 14th of August with 400 men, and took refuge at Curagao, where he died. Porto Cabello has been occupied by General Monaga?• BORDEAUX, Sept. 25. The Gironde of to-day says :—" Private letters received here from Spain state that the insurrec tion in the province of Galicia is spreading, and that Corunna, Zamora, ()reuse Vigo, and Ponte Vedra have risen. It is reported that the Provi sional Government at Seville has declared the Queen and her dynasty to have forfeited the throne, and has convoked a Constituent Assembly. PARIS, Sept. 25. The Madrid journals due hero to-day have not arrived. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE EARTH QUAKE IN PERU AND ECUADOR. PANAMA, Sept. 1 (via St. Nazaire). The Panama Star of to-day says : , 4 The news in our columns to-day is the most appalling and painful we have ever laid before our readers. Thousands and thousands of lives have been called instantly into eternity; whole cities, towns, and villages have been swept away from the face of the earth, and ships with their crews have been whirled from their anchorages by the receding sea and swallowed up. Such a picture of general destruction and desolation extending for hundreds of miles along the coast, and reaching up to the topmost heights of the Andes, can scarcely b 3 imagined. The reader stands aghast with horror in attempting to contemplate and to comprehend the magnitude of the devastation which has occur red. It is impossible to say if the desolation is at an end. There are many points in the interior and further south unheard of, whilst nothing has as yet reached us from the Columbian frontier. The intelligence from Callao to the 22d August says the calamity has been widespread and awful in its severity. The loss of life and property is great, and the ruin, misery, and desititution appal ling. Cities, towns, and villages, once well known in the interior of Peru, and many important towns on the coast, are now no more. We have no intel ligence further south than Cobiza. There the shock was much the same as here. The sea receded fifty yards, returning to its original level. At Iquique the town was completely swept away, and only a mass of ruins remains. The loss of life is very great, but the exact number is unknown. The ports of Mejillones Pisagua, Irica, Ilochala, shared the fate of IquiqUe. Arequipa is levelled to the ground, not one bouse being left standing. The magnificent cathedral is only partly standing. Moquequa, near Arequipa, is likewise over thrown. Tacua escaped with the loss of sixty houses. The public will be disappointed that the inquiry into the Abergele accident is not proceeded with more speedily. From the outset of this unfortunate affair there has been nothing but misunderstand ings and confusion, and the inquiry does not seem likely to progress more fortunately than the in quest. Acting upon most mistaken motives, the two breaksmen have not surrendered themselves. It is true that their solicitor has intimated their rea diness to do so when their own case comes on ; but that is not sufficient, because there is evidence required for the completion of the case against EATON, the station-master. Believing that they would be required for the investigation of the charge against themselves, they were seen in the neigh bourhoal of the inquiry, but they subsequently dis appeared, and all the efforts of the police could not capture them. It is not surprising that a great deal of dissatisfaction prevailed in consequence of the delay thereby occasioned, and many complaints were made. It seems about as ill advised a thing as any one iu their position could do for these breaksmen to have adopted this course. They and all concerned in the accident may rest assured that nothing but the most strict inquiry and minute investigation into the particulars will satisfy the public, and any appearance of keeping back in formation or of unwillingness to come forward as witnesses will be severely looked upon. The exami nation of the station master cannot be completed until the warrant against the breaksmen can be exe cuted, hence an adjournment will take place; and we earnestly hope that they and their advisers will see the impropriety of their present. conduct, and put a stop to the vexatious delays that are now occurring. Allowance may be made for error of judgment, or mistakes even that can never be shown to have been done in a spirit of defiance against the law, or an endeavour to retard the course of justice that must be satisfied. Reports reach here of whole towns and districts being swallowed up, but no reliable information has been received to that effect. Doubtless great chasms are formed, and many new streams of water in the hills. It is stated that a town near Islay, containing 500 inhabitants, was swept away, and only twenty lives saved. At Chala the sea receded, and a wave rose fifty feet and returned, spreading into th e t ow n a dis tance of about a tho usand feet. Three successive times everything within range was swe pt away, followed by twelve shocks of earthquake, lasting from three seconds to two minutes, but few lives were lost ; the estimated loss is $BO,OOO. At Islay, owing to the elevation of the town, the damage by the sea was not groat, but every stone building was badly shaken. At Mollendo houses and property of every de- scription were swept away. At 110 not a vestige of a habitation of any kind was left either in port or in t ow n. Estimated losses, $lOO,OOO. In the mining province of Juancavelion all the cities have been destroyed. Cerrode Pasco is in ruins. The loss of life in the mining regions is re ported to be very great. The loss of property by the earthquake is estimated at $300,000,000. Intelligence from Arequipa says that the city is entirely destroyed, and that no building standing is inhabitable. The earth had commenced undu lating movements, and houses crumbled down, loss of life is less than was supposed, but all per sons in the prisons and hospitals perished. Nine teen minor shocks succeeded during the night. The earth opened in the plains around, and water appeared at various places. The dead are not yet buried, The agent of the Pacific Steam Navigation Com pany writes as follows Arica no longer exists. At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th we were visited with a tremendous earthquake. I escaped with my family into the street, when my house was immediately blown down ; at the same time the earth opened about three inches, and belched out dust with a terrible stench of powder. The air was darkened, and I was unable to see my wife and children by my side. It lasted only to minutes or we should have been suffocated. I immediately started for the hills, passing th roug h falling houses un hurt by a merciful Providence, whi l st o t hers were struck dead and wounded. Whilst passing towards the hills, with the earth shaking, a great cry went up to Heaven. The sea has retired. On clearing the town I looked back and saw the vessels were carried irresistibly seaward. " few minutes the sea stopped, and then arose a mighty wave, fifty feet high, and came in with a fearful rush, carrying everything before it in fearful majesty. The whole of the shipping came back, speeding on to inevitable doom. In a few minutes all was completed, every vessel was either ou shore or bottom upwards. The Peruvian war steamer America lost 85 hands. The American war steamer Waterce was landed a quarter of a mile on shore on the railway. The Fredonia, American war ship, lost all hands on board. The British barque Chanar cull° of Liverpool was lost with_half her crew, and many other ships. THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE OF PEACE AND LIBERTY. BERNE, Sept. 21. The second Congress of the European League of Liberty and Peace, which is to meet to-morrow, has already attracted persons of various nationali ties to this town. According to the published pro gramme the military question will be the subject of discussion on the first day, and has thus been drawn up : i‘ Regarded from the point of view of peace and liberty, which would be most advantageous, the suppression of permanent armies and the intro duction of a national militia, or a general disarma ment ? " On the second day of the meeting, the social question as to what connection exists between the economic and social question and that of peace and amity will be discussed. "On the third day the question will be Whe ther, in the furtherance of peace and liberty, the separation of Church and State is advantageous.' " The Federative question will come on on the fourth day. In how far it would be advisable to introduce the Federative principle into the various countries, and in what manner should a Confedera tion of the United States of Europe be established. " The fifth question, to be debated on the last day of the Congress, Saturday, the 26th of Sep tember, is reserved, to be fixed by the Congress during the course, and according to the result of its sittings. " This evening, at six p.m., the members will meet in seven different localities, to form the bureaux according to nationalities. " The Congress will wind up by a grand inter national banquet. " The Executive Council of Berne have granted the hall of the Grand Council, at the Town hall, for the use of the Congress, but only after the Central Committee of the League had given an assurance that no scenes similar to those enacted in Geneva at a former meeting of the Peace and Liberty League should take place. Despite, however, this assurance, people here do not feel entirely convinced that the discussions will be carried on peaceably, more especially as the In ternational Workmen's Congress now sitting at Brussels denies the right of the Peace and Liberty League to exist at all, and has determined to inti mate to the latter, by a deputation, that they must dissolve, and connect themselves with the In ternational Workmen's Association. " Added to that, the Russian delegates have come forward with so eccentric a programme as to cause people here to regard them more in the light of hostile agitators than as real friends of peace and liberty." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1868. BERLIN, Sept. 25.

The advices from Frankfort state that during the past week the greatest alarm was manifested on the Bourse, accompanied by a serious fall in all specu lative securities, as if the country had been on the eve of war, although nothing new had transpired beyond the speeches of the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Prussia. These speeches, in fact, were only the pretext for the revulsion, which had al ready become certain from the position of the Vienna and Paris Bourses. The long-expected crash had come at Pesth, where some of the greatest operators have broken down, and such stocks as are marketable at Vienna had to be sold there at any price. At the same time on the Paris Bourse analogous circumstances existed, the new loan having passed for the most part into the hands of premium hunters, while, concur rently with the efforts of these parties to effect realisations, enormous orders for the sale of French-Austrian and Lombard railway shares were received from Frankfort and Berlin, which must have created the impression that something very extraordinary had occurred. The alarm thus oc casioned has, it is said, done great injury to trade, many orders given to manufacturers during the pause of the last few months having been cancelled. Still, the leading capitalists continue to take a more calm view of the state of affairs, and hence such stocks as are only influenced by them have experienced scarcely any alteration, and this, it is added, " will be the case as long as facts are in contradiction to the terrifying gossip of the De mocratic press." Large bodies of Prussian troops passed through Frankfort a few days back, hav ing been finally discharged before the expiration of their service, while the calling in of the new recruits has been postponed for three months. " Indeedon the German side of the Rhine there is not the slightest indication of impending war." While Austrian speculative stocks receded between 4 and 5 per cent., and investment stocks lf to 2 per cent., United States' Bonds did not vary, and were steadily purchased. The same was the case with South German stocks. Prussian stock did not recede even a fraction. Some new issues have been post poned until matters again become smooth—namely, the Austrian North-Western shares, the Italian Tobacco loan, a Finnish loan, and others,particularly some 'Russian preference shares of new railway routes to be put forth only in Germany. The regular demand for accommodation which becomes appa rent every year at the time of the hop and wine harvest has - not on this occasion influenced in the slightest degree the Frankfort bank or money-mar ket. Discount continues at 1 per cent., and bills on London and Paris maintain their high rates. The mines and forests of Innerberg, in Styria, have been sold by Government to the Credit Bank and a company of bankers for 12,000,000 florins. The improvement of the Danube near Vienna will now begin. The Steamboat Company on the Danube have bought large coalfields at Vasacy, in Hun gary, and have revoked the reduction in their tariff for the transport of corn, while the railway compa nies on the lines from Hungary to Hamburg have made arrangements for more regularity in the ser vice to prevent delays. The Bavarian Oetbahn are extending their lines. Mecklenburg and Lubeck definitively joined the Zollverein on the 19th inst., and goods now pass freely between these . and the other States.

POARESPONDENCIE FROM PAWL FROM 017 R OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, September 24. • -• The interest in the Spanish revolution hourly r s o me ' e z„ lA 4 with regard .. to reliable information we have still to poifseeti Our'soull in patience. The latest item of intelli gence, yiz., that General Polya was concentrating his trove for a march on Seville is generally regarded as being trustworthy. On all hands it is conceded that the ap pointment of Marshal Concha as President of the Council VISA a clever piece of angling on the part of the Queen to obtain the assistance of France. No doubt there is no , political man in Spain a greater favourite with the Emperor than the marquis. He was Ambassador here inDecember when the Spanish Chambers were deliberating upon the conduct of Prim in Mexico. Concha resigned in order to take part in the debates of the Senate, where he extolled the wise regeneration of Mexico by French arms, and applauded :the conduct of Prim. After the coup d'itat, Concha became once more Minister of War, President of the Senate, and was decorated, eulogised, and enriched by an admiring people. At the period of the crisis he rose to the highest rank in public estimation, having to encounter as his adversaries all his old friends of the Liberal party. La France confirms the statement of La Presse to the effect that several French men-of-war have been ordered to be in readiness to start for the coasts of Spain in the event of their presence being required. They will be placed under the orders of the different consuls, and will, it is assumed, be sent exclusively with a view to the protection of French subjects in Spain, and their interests. Adelina Patti is expected here on Thursday. She is to open the season at the Italiens with Fraschini in " Lucia di Lammermoor." Her stay will be limited to six weeks. Two other items of theatrical news may be given. The Fantaisies Parisiennes will be opened by M. Martinet with a new work by one of the authors of " Crispin e Comare," under the title of " :Monsieur de la Palisse," a comic opera in four acts, the words by M. Wider. The principal female part will be filled by Mdlle. Marimon. A novelty has been read to the artists of the Palais Royal in one act, by Cham, the witty caricaturist of the Charivari, and M. Lasalle. The title is "Un Malade au Mois." Gil-Perez, Lheritier, Luguet, and Julie Reynold will fill the principal parts. Viscount de la Gueronna.re takes his departure tor Brussels this week. Owing to the illness of the youthful prince, the King of the Belgians will receive the creden tials of the newly-appointed Minister without any cere monial. The Gioia-Taranta Railway, connecting Taranto with Bari, and the Gulf of Taranto and the lonian Sea with the Adriatic, which has been successfully opened, will prove of the utmost value to commerce. The country which the line traverses produces much oil, and navigation round the heel of Italy is extremely dangerous. A large iron bridge near Castellaneta, one of the works that distinguishes this line, measures 226 feet in height, 682 in length, and cost £36,000. In the opinion of the Naples correspondent of the Times, the internal dangers threatening Italy have been some what exaggerated. Though there is much combustible matter in the peninsula, there is little apprehension of a conflagration. The character of the people is against it. Movements which, among people of cooler heads and enjoying long-established political institutions, would reasonably create alarm, are with the Italians nothing more than the results of a sudden impulse, violent, but short-lived. " One of the symptoms of the day," says the correspondent, "is that very foolish affair, the contemplated Parlamentino ' in Naples. Yet nowhere is so little known or heard of it as in Naples. No one speaks of it, and the journals are almost silent on the subject, so that doubts may be entertained whether it will ever be held. But even should it be, it proposes to itself none of those violent objects which have been attributed to it, and, indeed, it seems to be so purposeless that it might just as well, and much better, have been held in Signor Crispi's, or the Commendatore Rattazzi's house in Flo n. /..„ gloat HER MAJESTY. B_kLMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 23. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, went out yesterday morning, and in the afternoon with Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and P rince Leopold, attended by Lady Churchill. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Christian went out deer-stalking. NAKIL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE• MALTA, Sept. IS.—ller Majesty's steam frigae Endymion, which arrived yesterday from Augusta Bay, in the island of Sicily, with despatches from the Naval Commander-in-Chief, and mails from the ships cruising with him, left at the same anchorage on the 10th the Caledonia (flagship), Lord Warden, Prince Consort, Arethusa, and Rapid, which, with the Psyche, had left Corfu GO the 9th. The Enter prise on the 10th remained at Corfu, whence she will probably be despatched to Malta (communi cating en route with the Admiral), in order to be newly masted, after which it is expected she will be ordered to Beyrout for the winter. The squadron, after remaining ten days in Augusta, will look into Syracuse, and proceed thence to Messina, Naples, and Palmero, without any prospect of repairing to Malta for winter quarters before then th of Novem ber. Lieut. Lockhart, R.N., of the Enterprise, has been invalided, A marine of the Arethusa has been condemned by sentence of a court-martial to five years' imprisonment for striking the sergeant of a picket when at Trieste, and is now iu the Royal naval prison at Malta, awaiting a conveyance by ship of war to England. The Admiral Superinten dent of Malta dockyard has been giving a s eries of dinners to the officials of the naval establishments and their families, which the absence on excursions to Corfu, Venice, Sicily, and other places of Mrs. and Miss Fanshawe has prevented his doing earlier. Lord C. E. Paget is said to have intimated to his Anglesey constituents that he has made up his mind to serve out his Mediterranean command, and given up all idea of a seat in Parliament until he returns to England. Major-Gen. Sir C. Staveley, K.C.8., Lieut.-Col. Edward Bray, 4th King's Own Royal Regiment, Lieut.-Col. George Bray, 96th Regiment, Captain Marsh, 82d Regiment, and Lieut. Carnac, 19th Hussars, visited Berlin recently, for the purpose of seeing the Prussian army and being present at the reviews and manoeuvres of the Prussian troops in the neighbourhood of the capital, which began oa the 25th of August and concluded on the 16th of September. These officers were received with marked attention by the King, the Crown Prince, and the Generals and officers of the Prussian Guard, and the greatest attention and kindness was shown to the English officers during their visit. They were entertained by the King and the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince took them with him to see his division near Stettin in Pomerania, where they re mained three days, during which time the troop s bivouacked without tents in the open country, an d manoeuvred against each other as two opposing armies over several miles every day. This division consisted of about 13,000. At Landesburg, ne ar Berlin, the troops, about 16,000 in number, con sisting entirely of cavalry, artillery, and infantry of the guard, were also manoeuvred for three daY3 across country, without tents, in a similar manner. The English officers were most favourably impressed with the soldierlike bearing, the excellent drill and organisation of the Prussian army. According to their report, the troops move rapidly, and are tho roughly, well, and skilfully commanded. The men —the Line regiments as well as those of the Guard —are fine, stout, broad-shouldered soldiers, an d although all young soldiers (under four years' ser vice) they move remarkably well. The cavalry is particularly good, well mounted, and well coin manded, and move about the field with great cele rity. The outpost and vedette duties of the cavalry were admirably executed. Yesterday Major-General Freeman Murray, ili command of the infantry and other troops i n the Chatham district, commenced his autumnal inspec tion of the corps attached to the 2d battalion garrison infantry; under the command of Col. I Y . Rickman, comprising the depot companies of the battalion of the 2d (Queen's Royals) Regilllent, battalion of the Bth (the King's) Regiment, 29tn , s Regiment, 30th Regiment, 82 , 1 (Prince of Wales ° Volunteers) Regiment,• and the 106th (Bonl'aia Light Infantry) Regiment.

A correspondent of the Daily Nom furnishes a descrip tion of the city of Madrid, which is of special interest in connection with the revolutionary condition of affairs. The writer speaks of it as a very disappointing city. " There is nothing distinctively Spanish about it. It is like a third-rate French town, and far inferior to Brussels, Lyons, or Marseilles. There are some fine houses and imposing palaces in the city : the Palace is magnificent, and possesses a splendid site, but even this is marred by a shabby brick wall close to it, and au unfinished sort of colonnade. The Senate House and Chamber of Deputies are mean buildings, inferior to the town halls of many English towns. The public promenades —the Prado, for example—are very fine, and well laid out ; the fountains are very beautiful, and the gardens well kept. The climate is detestable— either very hot or very cold ; but the extreme elevation o the city—between two and three thousand feet above the sea—accounts for this. When the sun shines the atmc sphere is brilliantly clear and invigorating, the air fresh and keen, the sky of a lovely blue. The shops are good and handsome, quite in the French style, and some of the cafés vie in their gilded splendours with those of Paris." Having just returned to Athens from Crete by the blockade-runner Enosis, Mr. J. C. Hilary Skinner writes to the Times in answer to those correspondents who have so fiercely attacked the cause of Crete. He holds it to be a mistake to suppose that the war now waged between the Turks and the Christian insurgents is a mere contest of brigandage against regular authority. So far is this from being the case, that in several provinces, in St. Basil, Amari, and Mylopotamo, in more than half of Sphakia, and in a portion of Melanese, there is not a single Turk, civil or military, save only a few deserters, who bear arms among the insurgents. These provinces constitute about one-fourth of Crete, and are as free from Turkish control as though they belonged to some independent principality at war with the Sultan. Large meetingsha,ve been held in Amari with the knowledge and consent of the whole island, and it has not been thought worth while discussing whether the Turks would interfere to prevent them. Mr. Skinner points out that the insurgents are well organised for defence ; every village and every province has its regularly-appointed captain; and for the Turks to march into Amari or Mylopotamo would be like invading a small but intensely hostile foreign country. The same may he said of St. Basil and of the greater part of Sphakia. The other provinces east and west it is admitted are not so completely free from the Turks. Some are merely cut off from the insurrection by lines of blockhouses. To those who profess to doubt the fact of there having been any Cretan war, the writer says : " It has happened that I have seen with my own eyes very many wounded fretans, and have been as well assured of the existence of the war in Crete as it is possible for a looker-on who does not get shot himself." A letter appears in the 7imes, signed by Mr. F. W. Holland, appealing for funds to allow a survey to be made of the Peninsula of Sinai. Of the need for such a survey there can be no doubt. "It has been boldly stated that `the physical character of the Peninsula of Sinai is such as to render it physically impossible for the events described to have occurred there.' The protest of an individual traveller avails but little. Why should his account be believed in preference to that of other travellers who tell a different story? What we want is a careful survey made by professional men, free from all bias, and of whose accuracy there cannot be any suspicion." It is therefore proposed that a survey shall be made, on the scale of six inches to the mile, of the various moun t tins which different authorities have held to. be the true " Mount Sinai ;" and a survey, on the scale of one inch to the mile, of the country between the head of the Gulf of Suez and those mountains—i.e., the country throughwhich the Israelites must have marched as they passed through the wilderness. This last scale is that of the ordnance survey of England. The President of the Reform League has issued an address to the new working-class electors, which embraces a somewhat comprehensive programme. The law is to be reformed ; they are recommended to insist upon the Ballot, the security of the funds of trades unions, the equalisation of rates for the support of the poor and the amendment of the poor law, a searching revision of the . , educational funds throughout the country, the adoption of measures calculated to promote religious equality in Ireland and an improved measure of tenant-right, the reduction of the civil, naval, and military expenditure, the substitution of direct for indirect taxation, and the reduction of our naval and military forces. Mr. Beales tells them that the Gospel was preached to the poor espe cially, and perhaps the poor may teach the great ones of the earth to be true Christians, and may give to demo cracy its noblest triumph, in securing, not only the free dom, hut the peace of the world. This is a pretty heavy task to set the new electors at first starting. Amid flirting and promenading, with the eating of nuts and confectionery, and accompanied by the popping of beer-bottle corks, has the " (lately the chief feature of the festival in Gloucester Cathedral) been per formed at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. It may be well that the inhabitaut3 of Clerkenwell should have good musical instruction, but there is a time and place for everything, and the " Messiah " is the most sacred of all oratorios. During one of Mellon's concerts at Her Majesty's a few years ago, Weiss, in the middle of the programme, came forward to sing " The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised." Harper took the trumpet obbligato, and the jubilant strains were, of course, rendered magni ficently. But the incongruity of the affair was too startling. In the midst of all that frivolity and glitter, to hear one of Handel's great sermons was so painful that the audience gave a sigh of relief at the close, and hardly applauded the artists all. They were glad to get back to , ,c'roArcy's waltzes.
