The steamer Atlantic, which arrived this Morn ing from New York, brought nearly a million of dollars in specie. The New York papers pubish- a statement of the number and value of vessels lost during the six months from January to July, 1856, including partial damage to ship and cargo, by which it appears that the value thus swallowed by the ocean during this disastrous period was nearly sixteen million dollars. The steamer Anglo-Saxon which has arrived from Quebec, has brought the Canadian mail, which should have been received by the last Cunard steamer, but which did not reach Boston in time, in consequence of a railway accident. . . Accounts from - Lisbon state that the greatest tranquility exists in Portugal, and that the Parlia mentary session had closed under the most favourable circumstances as regards the financial condition of the couutry. The second chamber had discussed the measure' proposed by the government to raise a loan of 300,0001 sterling, for the purpose of carrying out certain public works in progress, and constructing railways, and voted the bill wth the greatest unanimity. The Assembly were to close their labours on the 151 h of this month. Advices from Mulhouse, in France, one of thechief cotton manufacturing towns in that country, state that the demand for calicoes is steady, and that most of the retail traders are laying in their stocks for the season. Although the consumption of this necessary article is not equal to what it is in Eng land, still it is increasing throughout France, and the manufacturers at Rouen, Mulhouse, &c., are increasing the number of their looms monthly. The manufacture of fabrics, half cotton and half wool, likewise at these factories, is greatly on the increase, while muslin-de-laines are not so much in 8 U M lERY FESS , MR ciye g irauu as really innoc what mischief could arise from the irregularities" or eccentricities of the Master of the ?

The Irish Master of the Rolls was bound as an honest and upright Judge to speak out, when he saw that the Governmen were not doing what he conceived to be their duty, in a matter which was looked on as a national calamity. The partners, and depositors in the Tipperary shareholders Bank were not -the only sufferers by Jo LEIB'S frauds. Every Bank in Ireland felt thi shock given to public confidence. One-fourth o Ireland lost, more or less, by the SIDLEIti fralldS Ind the other three-fourths were panic-strickea by their exposure, and was the Judge who was entrusted with so weighty a matter to remain silent, when he saw the Government neglecting a a case which they ought to have watched with the utmost ( The Master of the Rolls might, as a Privy Councillor, have given information, privately, to the Government, but where the law officers of the Crown ought to have attended throughout the proceedings, on behalf of the public, and ought to have made themselves conversant with all the facts brought to light, he was perfectly right, as a Judge, in directing attention publicly to what he held to be an unaccountable oversight, or neglect of Had Parliament debated the subject fully, ye no doubt that this would have been the ral impression. This was not done, but as the Attorney-General has left his case in the hands of the House of Commons, and as it is one of vast importance to the mercantile community, he will probably have the satisfaction of hearing the opinion of both the Legislature and the country pronounced upon it, as the Master of the Rolls will never submit to be told by a member of the bar , that his " allegations were made under excite. ment, and in ignorance of the facts of the case.''

The meeting of the proprietors of The Union Bank of London, was held to-day. The report of the directors stated that, after payment of all charges, and the sum of 196,594/ Os Od paid, and due to customers for interest on their current and deposit accounts, and after allowing 20,2261 6s 8d for rebate of bills not due, the net profits of the year ending the 30th of June last, amount to 121,1121 Od 2d, being slightly in excess of 20 per cent on the paid up capital. The directors now declared a dividend of 5 per cent, and a bonus of 5 per Cent, fdr the last six months, which, with the dividend and bonus paid in January last, amount to 17 3 / 4 per cent clear of income tax, for the past year; and they have carried 21 per cent to the credit of the reserved fund. After the payment of the dividend and bonus for the year, amounting to 105,0001, and adding 15,000/ to the reserved fund, there will remain an unappropriated sum of 20,2261 6s 8d to be carried to profit and loss new account, for rebate of interest on bills not yet due. and a further sum of 1,112/ Os 2d undivided the most I Pr' fit. The London and Westminster Bank have also held their meeting, the Lord Mayor presiding ; at subjoined report and accounts were, report that—after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts—paying the Income Tax, and setting apart 2,000/ towards the new buildings in Lothbury and Bloomsbury, the net profits of the bank for the last half year amount to 92,112118 s 83. Out of this sum the directors have allowed interest at the rate of five per cent per annum on the rest or surplus fund, which then amounts to 147,7121 14s 4d, and' they now declare a dividend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent per annum, and also a bonus of five per cent on the paid up capital. After,these payments are made, there is a balance of 8,5101 3s 83, which is carried forward to the credit of profit and loss account for the current half-year. The whole of the 216,000/ in specie, ex the America, from New York, goes to the Continent.

There was an unusually large numbei of the representltives of the press present from different parts of the country, and the authorities had provided additional accommodation for them by the erec. tion of a desk across the deck, immediately behind the prisoner. The railway trains from Leeds were much crowded with people residing in that district (and where the excitement caused by the trial is most intense) who come to York specially to be present at the trial. The counsel- for the prosecution were Mr. Overend, Q C., Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Bayley ; and - for the prisoner, Mr. Bliss, Q C., Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Hall ( Re. corder of Doncaster), and Mr. Middleton. The jury having been sworn, the prisoner was placed at the bar, and, on being arraigned, in a firm voice he pleaded "not guilty." He was dressed in black, and looked very healthy, and much stouter than he did when the prelim. inary investigation before the Coroner at Leeds took place. Mr. Overend, Q.C., rose to state the case on behalf of the prosecution, exactly at a quarter past ten o'clock. He commenced his addr,ss amidst profound silence. He said that a more solemn, a more important, or a more respon. sible duty, than that which now devolved upon the jury, could scarcely fall to any body of men. They were asked to , enquire whether there was any truth in the accusation which was preferred against the prisoner at the bar, that he had committed the crime of wilful murder, and that of the most cruel and deliberate_pature. The priFioner was charged with having caused the deatn administration of a deadly poison. In a case o: where there was no actual proof that the prieoncr did ao minister the poison, the jury : Would reeeity cnnceivf that the prosecution would depend upon a variety of small circumstances connected with the case. l rhis case had latterly been the subject of much comment fbronehout the country, and rumours regarding the evidence which would be brought before them had been freely Circulated, which might, perhaps, have prejudiced their minas against the prisoner. Now, hemust ask them to discard all such rumour from their mind, to come to the consiiierata-e—e • • - free from prejudice, and to watch wie' would be brought' before them. In the name or prisoner, and in the name of public justice he asked th to give their verdict according to the evidence, and h that alone, whether it should be against the Prisoner oi whether it should he in his favour. The offence with which he charged the prisoner, was one of the most Cold blooded, one of the most ,cruel murders which he (the learned counsel) had ever heard of. What was alleged - on the part of the prosecution was, that the prisoner had committed murder by the use of that subtle poison, known by the name of strychnia—that he administered that poison five times to his wife, and that ultimately he was successful in causing her death: - The prisoner was him self a witness of the sufferings and death of his wife, and therefore he repeated it was one of the most cruel and heartless murders which had ever disgraced our common humanity. He would now refer to the kind of poison which was used, and endeavour to lay before the jury its peculiar nature. The poison which it was alleged the prisoner used was strychnia, and unfortunately the name of strychnia as a poison, had of late been very prominently before the country. The learned counsel, after stating that three quarters of a grain of- strychnia was suf f icient to destroy life, and that a grain and a half was a full dose, went into a lengthened narrative of the pro perties and deadly effects of strychnia as a poison. He next referred to the prisoner's family, observing that he was the son of a very respectable gentleman named Christopher Dove, formerly residing at Leeds, and who died about Christmas, 1854, leaving the prisoner the sum of .£9O per annum. The prisoner was brought up- to-the business of a farmer, but -at the time of his wife's death he was out of employment. Some time before her death the prisoner was a candidate for the situation of pay clerk to the Leeds Board of Guardians, but he was unsuccessful. It was in' 1851 that the prisoner first became acquainted with his wife, who was then on a visit to some friends near Leeds. He continued his addresses to her, and in 1832 they were married. They went to reside at Woodhouse Grove, near Normanton, where they remained until 1854, when they removed to Cardigan_ place, near Leeds, when the crime of which the prisoner stood accused was %lleged to have been committed. Reviewing the prisoner's conduct towards his wife whilst at Cardigan-place, and his dissipated habits, the learned counsel detailed the_prisoner's harsh treatment of the deceased. He was much addicted to drunkenness, and on these occasions his conduct towards his wife was exceedingly violent. The deceased's endeavours to reform the prisoner and wean him from his drunken habits, was the cause of frequent quarrels be. tween them, and it was to be feared was ultimately one main cause of her death. Frequently, on these occasions, he made use of the most offensive language towards the deceased, as•he (the learned counsel), should prove by the witnesses he intended to call before them. On one occa sion, he said " he would do her business for her one of these days," and on another occasion, he told her that she was a w--, and was so before he marries her. The learned counsel next referred to the question of the pri soner's motive for committing the crime with which he stood charged. It might be urged in his defence, that he couli ii have no motive for poisoning his wife. He felt, that in the present case, the question of motive might be a difficult one, but he, at the same time, was confident that he should be able to lay before the jury testimony which would sufficiently account for motive, the motive being, b;e desire to get rid of his wife in order to marry Mrs. Witham, a widow. The learned counsel next dwelt at very great length on the circumstances connected with Mrs. Dove's last illness and death, showing how the prisoner had constantly given her her medicine-- that she constantly complained, after receiving the rnedi dicine from the husband„ that it was hot and bitter, and thatem more than one occasion he was seen to put some thing into the medicine, before giving it to the deceased, and that immediately after giving her the medicine, he carefully took the glass to the washstand, and washed it out. The learned counsel next adverted to the prisoner having strychnia in his possession during the- period of his wife's illness, and also to the strong feetine which WI - . expressed to Mr. Morley- the surgeon, eeein :t a pnst mortem e xamination of the body being made, an l lei vine gone through the entire facts of the case, he cenclieled hi stating that it would he for the jury to say , whether the mass of evidence which would be laid leeore then, lef any doubt on their minds that the eieepesed died fro n the effects of strychnia. and further, if they believe" that he' death was causei by strychnia, whether they had any doubt that the poison was administered ,by the prisoner. As he said at the commencement, the off nee charged against the prisoner, was a most dreadful cr rne—e most cruel-murder, and they had a right to demand iron him (the learned counsel) that it should be fully mad, out. If he failed—if he left their minds in reasonable doubt, they would, of course, acquit the prisoner, and no one would be more gratified than himself should they be satisfied of his innocence ; but, if on the other hand the evidence should convince them of his guilt, and should bring their minds to the conclusion that he admin istered the poison to the deceased, then, however painful to themselves, and whatever the consequences to the accused, it would be their bounden duty, in obedience to the oath which they had taken, to say so by their verdict. The learned counsel concluded his address a few minutes before one o'clock, having sp .o ol r ce a n s n h e o a r r t ly ti t m h e re , e a h rt o e u r r f' which The court here adjourned the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. Eli za beth Fisher was the first witness examined. lam daughter of William Fisher, employed at the Normanton Station. I lived with Mr. and Mrs. Dove when they resided at Norrnanton, and afterwards I came with them when they removed to Leeds. They lived very unhappily together, both at Normanton and Leeds. Mrs. Dove's health was very delicate when they removed to Leeds. I remember one night at Normanton when the prisoner was very violent and broke the piano-160e. I said I would call assistance, when the prisoner said he would kill me if I did. The prisoner took a knife and sharpened it, and said he would kill - his wife. She ran away and hid herself under the bed. Whilst at Norman ton I once heard the. prisoner say that he had been at Leeds and seen a man named Harrison, and he had heard that Mrs. Dove's days would be at an end in February. Mrs. Dove said, "Look, he is drunk 1" She asked him not to get drunk, and he said he would be better when they got to Leeds. Shortly afterwards he said to Mrs. Dove, " Never ync mind, mind your own business, or I'll do your job." On Saturday, I was called into the sitting room about two o'clock, and , Mr. Dove came in. Mrs. Dove said,-" What a thing it is you can't come' home before 'half-past two." He ordered me out, and after that I heard a noise. I went in, and found Mrs. Dove sitting on the chair, and Mr. Dove holding np his hand with a carving knife in it. He said he would kill her. Mr. Dove struck her the same evening, and she went up stairs. I followed her, and found she had fainted. Mr Dove got some brandy for her. After we went to Leeds he obtained some - money from the executors of his father and he got drank. On the .following day I heard Mrs. Dove ask him-for some.of the money.. He said he would not give her any, and.also that he would rather g ive it to any ' lady than here and if she - did not mind he would give her a pill that would do for her. He afterwards went out, !and Mrs. Dove said' soinething to me. She afterwards repeated it in thepteeenee of Mr. Dove, and if afterwar I should ds several times. Shee said to me, " Elizebeth, die, and you are Away, from me at the time, mind and tell my triends • that it is'! my wish that they Amid have my body e x-arnind. This was said in Mr. Dove's presence.- He said nothing to it. Before I left, I saw some poison in the house at Leeds, on the 10th of February... Mr. Dove asked me tiaget him a plate. He then had a paper in his band lalxileelop a i eet o He put the poison Ott sonse.mtat, and re.kert me where was the best place to put it for killing cats ? I said in the I os kennel.

Mr. Bliss From what, you saw of the prisoner during the time you resided with them between June and Febru ary, can you say that he was always sane? Mr. Overend objected to the question, and his lordship took the same v iew of the' case, that the question was irrelevant."' After a conversation, in which Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Overend, and his lordship took part, His Lordship left the court for the purpose of consulting Mr. Justice Willes on the point. On his return into court, his lordship said that Mr. Justice Willes agreed with him that the question could not be put, but that such a clues tion as the following might be put to the witness Did you ever notice anything in the state of mind of the pri soner, and if so, what was it that you noticed ?" By Mr. Bliss : Did you ever notice anything particular in the prisoner's state of mind ? Witness : I never thought anything about it. Mr. Blisi : Did "yon ever say that you thought the prisoner something insane? : Witness : I may have said that he was not sane when' he was drunk. I believe he was not sane when he was drunk. Mrs. Dove locked the prisoner out one night, and he made a row. I assisted to lock him out, but Mrs. Wood, who was staying in the house, interfered, and opened the door. I did not hear him Say that • he could not bear it any longer, and that he would sell all up, and go away On one occasion, he went for some !medicine for Mrs. Dove, and when he came back he asked me for a plate, "and said he had got as much poison as would kill six people., He said he kept it in his razor case. I never saw them playing together like children. I never saw them caressing each other. Never saw the prisoner carry her about in his' arms, except once, when she fainted. I never saw him put her under his arms, and run about with her. 1 never saw him ness towards her. I will swear that. Once I saw him wheel her in a barrow. I recollect Jun once writing a letter to 'f The Wizard" (a person named Harrison, at Leeds,) saying that Mrs. Dove was not a right woman, and that be (she wizard) was to torment her. When the prisoner was drunk, and had been abusing Mrs. DOve and me, he used to mutter to him elf. I never saw him ury but two or three times. I have seen him pretend to cry. I never heard Mrs. Dove say he was very kiwi to her. I have heard her say that he was sometimes kind to her when he was sober. med: lam a char-woman, and k before she died prisoner told me that he had been to a wise MAD, who told him that his wife had not many days to live, and tdat as soon as she died, he must make an offer to a lady nex' door.

I remember the prisoner ,calling out to his wife to : play the tune that she played - when his father was hOed. I have noticed the prisoner show a remarkable kiiainess towards his wife. I never saw the prisoner washing the floors. I have seen him black-lead the stove, and also clean the shoes. Re-examined : The servant was from home when the Ptsoner blackleadrd . the fire grate: He also prepared s. Dove's meals, and brought them up stairs himself. Ann Fisher examined: - My daughter, Elizabeth, lived as servant with Mr. Dove and his wife. She came home ill on the 19th of February, and on the Saturday follow ing, I went to the prisoner's to supply her place. When I arrived there, Mrs. Dove was pretty well and in good spirits. She went to church on the following day, Sun day. Slie was quite well during the whole of that day. She dined with he husband that day. Oa the following morning she got up between eight and nine o'clock. I prepared breakfast and took it up to them. It consisted of coffee, toast, and bacon. After breakfast I went up stairs with Mrs. Dove. She said she would help me to make beds. She did not then seem well. She said she had a curious pain iii her legs. When we had taken the bed clothes off s ho appeared to be much worse. I cau_tha, hir in my arms and laid her on the bed, and ran and called Mr. Dove, who sent for Mrs. Witham. We undressed her, and then she began to jump, to twitch, and to start. Mr. Dove seat for Mr. Scaif; Mr. Morley's -assistant* and he acme and ordered her some medicine. She had spasms, which con. tinued two boars, or two hours and a half. She she was lying on her right side, and her breathing was rather thick. She was bettor in •the afternoon, and the next morning was pretty well. On the Wednesday she had another attack, and complained of pains, in her legs and her back. Her limbs were stiff and paralysed. I did not notice her hands and feet. Her breathing was rather better than when she was attacked before. She asked me to give her the medicine, which I did,-and afterwards she seemed better. I do not remember how she was on the Thursday, but on Friday night she had another attack. I went up stairs to her, and found her body arched. She said to me, " Oh, dear, I thought it was all over with me." I said, " I thought so, too." She was in great pain. The attack last two or three hours. This witness was under examination when our parcel was despatched. The great probability is that the trial will not terminate before Friday night. There are twenty five witnesses for the defence. THE CHARGE OF MURDER AT TRANMERE INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE DECEASED MRS. LOMAX. Yesterday, a respectable jury met, by adjournment, at the Queen's Arms Hotel, for the purpose of enquiring into the cause of the death of Mary Jane Lomax, who died on the Bth inst., at the house of her brother, Hugh 'arry, under circumstances which excited some . little The coroner for the county, Mr. Charton, conducted the investigation with his usual ability. Mr. Bretherton appeared to watch the case on the part of the accused, Hugh Parry, who, it was alleged, bad been in strumental to the death of, the deceased. _ Mrs. Elizabeth Barlow stated—She was the wife of Robert Barlos, a tailor, living at North Birkenhead. was ,a widow woman, and was my half Hugh Parry, in the Green-lane, Tranincre. Some short time since she sent for me to attend her, and I went immediately. She was in bed at 4.liat time, and complained of her throat and having her jaw loc:ed. I persuaded her to let me go for Mr. Macdougall, which she did, and I went for him. He. saw her the same night. After I returned home my little girl fetched me back again about two o'clock in the morning, saying her aunt was choking, and 1 was to directly. I went as quickly as I could, and found ocr-very ill, and did not leave her until she died on the ruesilay following. My daughter, who is about ten years of age, lived with deceased, and did so before the death of heibUsband. There was a brother and sister -and -a lodger-lived in the house. The lodger's name was Sar h Kaye. I was frequently in the habit of seeing her. :Coroner : ',Did she live on good terms with her brother ? Witness : I know nothing abort that ; they were both very passionate, and had flying words often. Coroner : Did you see any marks of violance or dis coloration on her person Witness : No ; not until I applied three blisters by the direetion of Mr. Maudougall—one on the left, and the other on the nape of the neck. She had three large boils on her legs, from which silo also sialdred. Coroner : What' were her habits ? Was she tem- perate ? Witness : I don't know much about that. She used to take a little gin before her husband's death, and after, it, I suppose. I have seen her the worse for dank two or three time'. Coroner : Did you ever hear her say what gave rise to the pain in her throat? Witness : I did hear her say something, but could not say what it was ;.she was talking to Mr. Macdougall, anct could not tell what it was. She had been suffering from a bad thiOat, and her mouth was bad inside for t Weeks before.her jaw locked. 'By Mr. Bretherton t I have known the deceased all her life.- She was exceedingly delicate in her health, and, for the last six years, hid been very sickly. She had a certain disease.solue time upon her before she knew about it, and then she went to an old woman in Liverpool. She was ill , fur some time with it. Her mouth was very sore inside._ She wore high dresses and a shawl. She did not see any discolouration in her neck. When I have seen the deceased and her brother he has always appeared kind to her, and they have been at my house together frequently. Her husbanui was a sailor. PoliceconStable Carr stated, that lie was on duty at the Tranmere wakes, on the 12th of May last, between 9 and 10 o'clock ; he was in the Green -lane. He heard the cry of police, and, seeing a number of persons at the fiebse of the deceased, he went in. The deceased was 'sifting on the•chair crying. Her brother was on another chai6 with his head down. I asked what was the mat. ter. •''fbe deceased said her brother had been ill-treating her, haul knocked her down, and struck her in the breast. asked her to giv e him into custody,. but shedid not make m e a ny a nswer, and I left the.house. By a Juryman : At the Traumere wakes there are always a great number of persons ab6et, Mr. -Macdougall, surgeon, of. Birkenhead, deposed that be visited the deceased on the 3rd of July, and continued to do so up to.'her death, which occurred on the B.h inst. She was then suffering from lock jaw, but fluids were administendito her through an aperture caused by the loss of a tooth: He ordered her throat to be blistered on the morning of the 4th. At that time he ha i not seen any discolouration of the throat. On the sth of Tuly, finding her•snnicwhat e +liner, from.an npiate I had as t) whether she had received about to any injory to her throat, Wittiss "epeat what thoideceaed had.said, when le4r..Brtherton -ot 'the' objection • was • •overruled by. the - 1 ., ceased told the her brother had been in Elect of taking such It is the etfe - ct or not haying the person ner,when.the case is heatd, About -Christmas last, she sal(' her brother had grasped herby the throat, and held until she was rieurly strangled:.but he Niqi3 in .a state of intoxication at the time. The, next morning she spit INIMMON.MMANWIEIirId blood,] and bad continued to do so up to the time of her death, and had had a pain in her throat and a diffi culty in swallowing. Previous to that she had not felt any such inconveniences. On the Bth she died. Coroner : What was the cause of death ? Witness Tetanus, induced by convulsion of the throat, accom panied with terror. Exatnination continued : On the 10 h he made a post mqrtim examination of the body. (The witness then, went on to deserbe the appearance of the body, the par ticulars of which were published when he was examines before the magistrates) The Coroner : Does the result of von- examination confirm your views as to the eatte of death ? Witness Decidedly so. . The ,Coroner : What, in your opinion, brotght on tetanus? Witness: Injury to the neck, induced by violence, combined with terror. I considered the deceased of a weak constitution; that weakneis arose Frorri a lOW fever, for which I attended her some two years since. , By a Juror : Such terror as caused by the death of her husband and father would cause some excitement. She could not have injured her throat in that site by a fill when in a state' of intoxication. , Cross-examination by Mr. Bretherton The ulcers might have existed without any external mark 4.. I never saw the brother, nor did I call him or any other person to hear the narration about her brother . I took It on myself.' It did not strike me to call in a magis' rare. I did not hire any person to assist me in the post morte , n examination. Terror must be associated with the injury to produce tetanus. I was not a witness to the will. I heard that she had made a will, and that it was in favour of the child of the' first witness. Ann' Barlow, a little girl, who could not tell her ar,, was next called. She said she had lived with the deceasel since Christmas last. Hugh Parry lived there, and he always behaved well to the deceased up to the time of the wakes, when he threw his cap at her and gave her a, black eye. 'I never knew him to do anything more tha .that, although I have been in the house night and day since last Christmas. It was explained that the child was not right in her bead, having suffered from an, tied-. 'dent by which she was nearly killed. This concluded the evidence. , • , Mr. Bretheram applied to say a few words to the jury on behalf of the accused. The Coroner said, he did not think such a course was necessary on the present occasion, and would, therefore, proceed at once to recapitulate the statement made by the witnesses. The question , they had" to decide was, when, where, and how the deceased came by her death. He then read over the witnesses' statements, and ex pressed his stirpriSe that ;there had been no external marks, and as to.the evidence as to their having lived :together comfortable, except at certain times— The jury would have to say, whether the ulcers in the throat arose from syphilis or ,not. He thnifght . that it was extraordinary that there, was no 'external marks of violence found on the deeeased, and left it for the jury to say, whether the deceased died from violence, and if so, by whom that violence was inflicted. After a consultation of-about a quarter of An hour, the jury returned a verdict of " Pun BY TIIE trisTrarioN alt GOD." LATEST INTELLIGENCE` THE SPANISH. INSUBRECTION A despatch just received from.Madrid,announces that the struggle between the-garrison of that--city and the National Guards continued. The rumour that a Republic had been declared, is stated to be unfounded; on the contrary, the Queen, on presenting herself to the troops, met with a hearty reception. A later despatch adds that a suspension of hos tilities had taken place, and a truce to continue until five o'clock: had been agreed to, but .General O'Donnell had communicated to the leader Of the insurgents, that, if they did not by that time submit, the troops would be brought to act against them with the utmost vigour. At the departure of the last despatch, it was declared that all telegraphic communication would be stopped. . . A. despatch dated Paris ten o'clock last night, mentions the receipt of intell;gence.from Madrid, dated the 16th, to the effect that the Republic had been subdued The Government had nominated a new munici pality, and declared the Peninsula in a state of siege. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN . CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING .Not one of the Paris papers of this evening knew any thing of the important piece of news: which. I sent you yesterday, of the retirement or• expulsion (I hardly know Which it is to be called) , of General Espartero from the government of Spain, and of his being replaced by O'Donnell. The government has to-day received news that General O'Donnell has composed his Cabinet as follows : General O'Donnell, President of the Council, an.d. Minister of War. _ M. Luziaga, Minister of Peace arid Justice. M. Cantero, Minister of Finance. Rosati, Minister of the Interior. M. Collodi% Minister* of Public Works. • - M. Pastor Benz, Minister of Foreign Affaixs. The French government, I understand,.exOects that this Ministry cannot stand, and it is not out apprehensions that the formation of it will lead to anarchy The Senate has definitively voted the erection of a column near the Panthean, to celebrate the glory of the French army in the late war, and of the Emperor in making peace. The reports and. other doeuments subruittLd to the • Senate on the subject, are published in the Moniteur to-day.' They are remarkable to two things 7 -the fulsome terms 'in which the exploits of the French are spoken of, and the observance_ of absolute silence with respect to England . , Sardinia, and s Turkey. An official return shows that the indirect tuxes yielded 419,732,000 fr. in the first half of the preEentr year, 442,000,000 fr. in the same period of last year,. and 404,000,000 fr, in that of 1854. The semi-official Patrie of this evening confirms; what I told you yestei-day of the seizure of an offensive pamphlet against General Williams, of Kars, at Constantinople, and of the punishrneni of the author of it. - _ _ The following extract from a private letter from a friend at Madrid, dated the 11th, is not without interest, as showing the view which was taken there of " the situation" on that day. The tele graphic news mentioned in my letter of yesterday and to-day, proves, however, that 'that was 'hot exact : In politics there is nothing striking to tell you of . beyond what you know. The significi . tion of the recent troubles has b6en a good deal exaggerated here, and must he more so abroad' It is. unquestionably the reactionary parties Who have caused them, in order to damage the •govern.i. ment,.and, if possible, to oyerthrow,the Constitu tion. But according to all probability the design will .end in failure. .The first consequence. of the machination has been a complete fusion between the Progressists and the Democrats,—a fusion effected by. the parties themselves without any r i e gociatiens by the chiefs, And what is remirli able is, that these'two parties are, for the momentr Conservative. ThiS fusion leads me to believe' that the Constitutonal regini3 will not be ()vet' thrown, in spite of the eff•irts which are male IV the Court, and the generals who took part in the last revolution. • ".It is rePorted that O'Donnell, in the last Council of Ministers, prOposed to declare el l Spain in a state of siege, and that even Esparter o adhered to the project, but that the two Geneval4 differed as to the - manner in which the measur e should. be' .carried out, and that in particular, Espartero refused to suspend all newspapers as. demanded by O'Dpnnell. " The great question of.the.dav is,(as you knowY the dissolution of the Cortes. The , court and it 4 i partisans ,desire it, as: they say they have' terini n ated the constitution. But Espartero has oppose , the measure with firmness, which is not frequ el ' t in him; he will not even, 110 declares, h ear tall‘ of anything so culp spoke to able.' He is said t o h av e 'le glared to the Queen, who him of her ri0 1 ; to diSsolve the Cortes, th at the Cortes alone conP his and that f o r hi s p a rt, ear , d ass first sov ere i gn .' party, m iv e o e derados are fu r i ous a g a inst li eu for this, and freely call him a t ra i tor to hi s Que o le t anti country. I Arat, however, you must consi" - t certain is, that the Generals who got up the , 1 1 '7, sr revolution, are determined to strike a l';`, d in f a vour of the throne, and are' labour' l ,l o the proVinces to- render the army doo;;0 to their projects. O'Donnell hesitates; ' d does not like theidea of running the risk of 105i"v,, his head. Besides, as he belongs to the gover7o anent, 'he probably sees m or e c l e arly than ell ie the numerous obstacles 'to the proposed coup: (11SSOlV( The c0111,,1
