LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE SPANISH INSURRECTION In the absence of more authentic intelligence, we give to our readers the latest news supplied by the telegraph, and accordingly we now record our latest despatches : MADRID, JULY 16 (EVENING). At eight o'clock this morning, the insurrection was overcome on all points. General Concha obtained possession of the Toledo gate. As some of the insurgents still held the Plaza Sevalda, measures were taken to attack them. The various bodies of the lower orders were commanded by Pucheta. At ten o'clock the last remains of the insurgents dispersed throughout the city were annihilated. Pueheta was killed. Twelve pieces of artillery were in position in the Plaza Sevalda. The Queen visited the wounded. Happily the victims were not very numerous. The government has been admirably supported. The disarming of the National Guard is actively carried on. The thoroughfare is re-established All is tranquil in the provinces, except at Sara gossa. MADRID, JULY 17. To-day order is completely re-established at Madrid. The Queen, accompanied by the King and by Marshal O'Donnell, has just reviewed the garrison. The troops and the people received their Majesties and the Marshal with enthusiasm. To-morrow will take place the solemn burial of the soldiers who have died gloriously in defending the throne and order. The twelve pieces of cannon posted on the Plaza Sevalda belonged to the insurgents. They were captured by the royal troops after some hours of fighting. A private telegraphic despatch announces that not only Saragossa but all Arragon is in insurrec tion—all Arragon, troops and people. By all Arragon is, I suppose, meant the larger towns that have followed in the wake of Saragossa, with their respective garrisons. We have no details so far as I can ascerttin, but the main fact, if correct, or even approaching correctness, is most impor tant. Of Barcelona we know nothing. No despatch as yet announces her rising, but it is not difficult to say what effect will be produced on her people, troops, and National Guards by the news from Madrid of the success of the coup d'etat, if coup d'etat it has been. That we have as yet no news from Barcelona is not extraordinary. From Madrid to that place there is no electric, nor indeed any telegraph, and from Barcelona the telegraph does not extend beyond Mataro, a distance of 13 or 14 miles ; but from Mataro to the French frontier there is none The news of the success of O'Donnell will, there fore, be a long time reaching Barcelona. Should Barcelona unite with Saragossa the example will probably be followed by other places, and then it would be very doubtful that O'Donnell could maintain his position, though he is in posses sion of the capital, and the Queen is now there. It would seem that the present affair is little more than a repition of 1843. That a conspiracy has been carried on by one or two members of the Cabinet against the Liberal party, and that the Queen now as then was a party to it. Her Majesty has acted with her usual cleverness—she always affected to hate O'Donnell and to love Espartero, and the latter, whose character, whatever other be his faults, is guileless, has once more fallen the victim of traitors. Yet it was not from want of warning, often and often repeated. Espartero some months ago received detailed information of what was plotting betwen the Queen, the King, and O'Don nell. He refused to believe in so much baseness. Our latest intelligence is from Paris, dated last night. We are informed that no later intelligence has reach the Parisian capital from Madrid. The Patrie, however, states, that the movement at Saragossa is confirmed, and that General Falcon, who was formerly aide de-camp to Espartero, is iu possession of the place_ - It is asserted that he has made an annunciamento which has received the concurrence of the inhabi • tants. According, however, to private intelligence, we are informed that General Falcon is not followed by the majority of the troops, who, on the contrary, had retired to the heights which command the Saragossa. . _ A further despatch from the Captain General of Catalonia, dated the 17th inst, states that tran quility prevailed in that principality. TURKEY Advices from Vienna dated the 17th instant, inform us that according to an official commune. tion, Prince Balso has been nominated Raunakan for Moldavia, and Prince Alexandra for Wallachia. The despatch mentions that the instalia,tion of both will take place forthwith, FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING The telegraph will have made kno to you that, after closing my letter last night, a despatch arrived from Madrid, announcing that the insur rection had been crushed, that the government had nominated a new municipality, and had declared the whole of Spain in a state of siege. Subsequent despatches added that several newspapers had been suppressed, and several changes made amongst the authorities of the capital ; also that there were no news of Espartero, and that it was rumoured that an insurrection had broken out at Saragossa. The despatches which have reached the govern• anent to-day confirm the news of the suppression of the insurrection, and gave some few details of the conflict, from which it appears, that in the Place Cibbado, not fewer than twelve pieces of cannon were captured from the insurgents, and that in the Calle de Toledo, a celebrated torreador, Pucheceta by name, distinguished in various revolutions, was killed. The loss of the royal troops is stated to be rather severe, but no mention is made of that of the insurgents. The Queen, yesterday, visited the wounded in the hos pitals. Although, however, the insurrection has been quelled in the capital, insurrections at Barcelona, Saragossa, and indeed all over Spain were expected. The last despatches say nothing of Espartero, and people here are at a loss to guess whether he has gone quietly to his country seat at Logrono, or to Saragossa to head an insurrection there. It appears that in the course of the insurrection at Madrid, about forty deputies of the Cortes assembled, but that they were dispersed by the armed force. The rumours current in Paris to day as to the state of Spain are very alarming, but as nothing can be known beyonn the telegraphic despatches which have reached the government, and of which what precedes is a - summary, it is not necessary to detail them. The Itioniteur confirms officially to day a piece of news NViliCh I sent you some days back— namely, the nomination of General Count Kisse leff, Minister cf Domains, as Russian Ambassador to the French Court. I am told that news has reached the government that an English transport, the Spartan, was recently lost off the coast of Tunis, but that her passengers and crew, 150 in number, were picked up by a French vessel, and carried into Tunis, where they were most kindly treated by the Bey. It is very possible, however, that there is some mistake in the name of the vessel" The Spanish Government has decided that the free import of wheat and flour should be allowed for six months. P.S.—I find that I have omitted to mention that reports were current yesterday of sanguinary con flicts having taken place between different regi ments of the garrison of Versailles. Th ere was, it appears, a conflict between some soldiers in w hi c h blood was shed, but it was of no political consequence. It was caused by rivalry between a carbiuecr and grenadier regiments. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.--FniDAY. --- - The LORD CH.-..NCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Duke of ARGYLL (in reply to Lord Dungarvon) said that negotiations were now pending between the Government and certain navigation companies for a more rapid communication between Holyhead and Queens town. The Drainage (Ireland) Advances Bill was withdrawn, and the orcler for the second reading discharged. THE CRIMEAN MILITARY COMMISION The Earl of LUCAN complained of the delay in the pro duction of the report of the Crimean enquiry, which he attributed to a wish, on the part of the Government, to shirk the matter till after the prorogation. Lord PANMURE said the report was already printed, but that ministers had not yet decided what advice should be offered to her Majesty upon it. A determina tion would be arrived at, and the document:presented by Friday next. The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed, as was also the Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill. The other bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the House rose at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after one o'clock, INCONI AND LAND TAXES BILL On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (lit reply to Sir H. Willoughby and Mr. Spooner) explained that, by the operation of the second clause of the bill, the salaries of the income tax collectors would he greatly reduced. Mr. MAcKINNoN observed that the land tax at present produced , e" 1,400,000 a year. Now, he thought some scheme could be devised by which it could be redeemed at 25 years' purchase, and the capital realised, amounting • . to X 24,000,000, might go to the reduction of the National Debt, and so relieve the general public. Perhaps, next sesgion, there would be no objection to a committee on the subject. The bill was then read a third time and passed The Stamp Duties Bill, the Racehorses' Duty hill, the Coast Guard Service Bill, the Corrupt Practices Preven tion Bill. the General Board of Health Continuance Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, the Cursit it Baron of the Ex chequer Bill, the Lunatic Asylums Act Amendment Bill, and the Marriage Law (Scotland) Amendment Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. MERCANIILE LAW AMENDMENT BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. [This was all the business on the paper for the morning sitting ; but the SPEAKER remained in attendance until half-past three, in order to attend the bar at that hour to hear the royal assent given by commission to several public and private bills.] The sitting was suspended at two o'clock. • Shortly after six o'clock the SPEAKER resumed the chair. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS In answer to a question put by Mr. A. P ELL ATT, Mr. PEEL replied that it was intended that the men holding the appointment of sergeants should receive the good conduct pay of which they were in receipt before pro motion. There were, however, a great many difficulties in the way of carrying out the arrangement, and the matter required much consideration. LAND TRANSPORT CORPS In answer to Mr. NI. CHAMBERS, _ _ Mr. PEEL said the Land Transport Corps received bounty on their enlistment like soldiers in the army, and would, therefo e, not be entitled on their discharge to the gratuity which was given to the army working corps. MR. JAMES SADLEIR, Mr. ROEBUCK asked the Attorney-General for Ireland, whether he intended to propose any amendment of the criminal law to meet the defects pointed out by him in relation t.) the Tipperary Bank case ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was his intention,"early next session, to introduce a full and complete measure to punish all fraudulent appropriation of the property of others. CRIMINAL LAW BILL. Sir G. GREY (in reply to Mr. Hadfield) said it was not his intention to proceed with the Criminal Appropriation of Trust Property Bill in the present session. THE FOREIGN LEGION Mr. PEEL, in answer to an hon. member, said he had received an account of the affray between the Foreign Legion and some of the British Legions at Aldershott. He could not say how long the Foreign Legion would remain at Aldershott. On the motio❑ that the House, at its rising, adjourn till Monday next. Colonel * GILPIN asked what were tte intentions of the Government with regard to the foreign troops, and recom mended and early disbandment. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked what might be the inten tions of the Government as to the requital of the army chaplains in the field, as to the promised gratuity and bounty of the militia, and the disbanding of the foreign troops. He also wished, to know what was the cost of the foreign troops, as it was believed to be a very large amount. Lord PALMERSTON protested against repeated enquiries as to the intentions of the Government, believing that the executive was responsible for their actions, and were not bound to take the House of Commons into Council. He had, therefore, only to state that he hoped the disposal of the Foreign Legion would be found to be consistent both with law and propriety. (A laugh.) Mr. ROEBUCK remarked that when they asked what the Government were about to do, they were said to be too early ; and when they asked what had been done, they were said to be too late. Maiden.

The rejection of Mr. OLIVEIRA'S motion by the House of Commons must therefore have taken the country by surprise. The honourable member my asked his hearers to take the matter into There was abundant evidence show that in every case where the duty leration lad been in ased t .he consumption drunkenness, and e kept on increasing in a huge ratio To illustrate thes is Mr. Om A stated, that in .It3U 2 the population was 15,000,000, the con- sumption of spirits was 15,000,000 gallons, and the consumption of wine 7,000,000 gallons. In 1811 the population was 17,000,000, the consump tion of spirits 17,000,000 gallons, and the con- sumption of wine 5,000,000 gallons. In 1825 the population was 20,000,000, the consumption of 22,000,000 gallons, and that of wine allons. In 1831 the population was )0, the consumption of spirits 26,000,000 and the consumption of wi In 18 3 the y population ns, and that of wine to 6,000,000 :urea show what has been under currents of national and less in- excluded to favour hat foreigners drink more wine and less spirits than we do, and that they are sober people. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was forced to admit, that " if the duty on wine be car " ried to so low a point as to make it cheaper to " consume foreign wine than colonial, or foreign, " or British spirits, or even beer, then undoubtedly the consumption of weak wines would be greatly " increased in this country." This is an avowal which the advocates of temperance should never lose sight of in debating the subject. But mark how Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS argues his case. After contending that, as our fiscal system is now based, the duty on wine should have some reference to the duty on spirits, on which so large a portion of our revenue depends, he goes on to say that " the duties upon those other classes of fermented " beverages would in fact operate as a protective " duty upon wine, and wine would be introduced " into this country under cover of a dispropor " tionate duty upon spirits and beer. But so long " as a due proportion is observed in the rate of " duties upon those different classes of fermented liquors, whether produced in this country or " imported from abroad, I believe that it is vain " to expect that any considerable quantity of the " weaker wines of the Continent will be consumed "in this country." Here it is quite clear that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER looks more to revenue than to public morality. Sir CORNE WALL LEWIS sees, in the 33,000,0001. he says we pay annually in taxes on cur fermented anti unfermented beverages, the sole m9ans of meeting that terrible exigency of which the London akes so much, before it has enquired from lence it arises But how comes it, tliat levying MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING The same quiet feeling noticed in our report of Friday last, has continued to prevail throughout the past week, and owing to the market being freely supplied, buyers have had a slight advantage in the middling and lower classes of American Cotton, though it does not amount to a quotation. Surats being scarce, command full prices. Other •.• are withon t change. The sales of the week amount to 38,080 bales, 30,010 of which have been taken by the trade, 2,570 on speculation, arid 5,500 for export. The sales to-day are estimated apt 8,000 bales, 1,500 being for speculation and export- The committee's quotations to-day for fair cotton, are as follows, viz. :—Bowed 6-ad, Mobile ad, and Orleans 7d per lb.

The London market has been very excited, chiefly owing to the very reduced stock, which is now only 13,080 casks, against 44,824 casks last year ; the closing value yesterday was 52s 9d to 53s per cwt on the spot, for the end of the year there was rather more disposi tion to sell at 51s per cwt. The half-week delivery is 1,774 casks, against 647 casks last year. Advices from Akyab to the 23rd May have been received. We quote the following from the circu lar of Weinholt, Mohr & Co. : Reports from here begin to contain little of interest, the season must be considered as closed, and the time is draw ing near when the shipments become due at home. The exports from Akyab during the period from Ist Nov, 1854, to 31st May, 1855, amount to .

(9s. 6d. to 93 8d per cwt, f.0.b.), but within the last three or four days all shippers but one completed their purchases, and as there remained only the one barer in the market, he had it in his power to reduce the market to 77r. or 78r., it is said (Bs. 91 to Bs. 10,11. per cwt, f.o.b). Na quantity, however, could be secured at these rates ; only three or four boatloads, of 200 to 400 baskets each, coming to market daily, and the slightest competition would immediately cause another rise. We have had several heavy thunder storms already, and expect the rains to set in with the new moon, about eight days' hence, Freights without any quo tations. Exchange drooping. Last evening the third series of colonial wool sales this year commenced ; and, judging from the first auction, they are likely to proceed with much heaviness. Already the prices realised are id to 12d per lb lower than those current at the close of the last sales, and the withdrawal of about 10 000 bales from the quantity advertised for dispose' has been announced. The immense arrivals of the article from Australia, and the dullness of the con tinental markets, have necessarily occasioned a decline in prices, and many are of opinion that a further reduction will take place before the close of the present sales. to the amount of 25,000,0001. per annum on 111 kinds of fermented beverag has not had the effect of protec sugar, coffee, and from wh ch we derive a revenue of 10,416,000/. per annum? The increase id the con sumption of these four heavily- taxed beverages may have kept pace with the augmentation which has taken place in the number of the female sex since 1802 ; but it has certainly not kept up to the demand for intoxicating drinks, which has kept far ahead of the general increase in population. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having travelled into protection, in discussing this very important subject, will readily pardon us if we should follow him. We lament that we cannot do so at this A.dvices from the French wool markets report a quiet state of trade, with no farther disposition on the part of wool-growers to stand out for high prices.

CRICET.—An interesting march at this game was played on Thursday last, in the Prince's Park, between the Liverpool Olympus, and Birkenhead Victoria clubs. Considerable interest was excited in the match, from the fact that the latter club was determined to do its utmost to secure a victory. The result shows that, although a promising young club, it evidently wants a little of the steady play exhibited by the veterans of the Olympus. Tne score, at the conclusion of the game, stood as follows. —Olympus, first innings, 133 ; second do., 49. Victoria, first innings, 70; second do., 59. THE CHARGE OF SCUITLING A SHlP. — Yesterday at One o'clock, John Town, late second mate of the ship John Lynn, was charged before Mr. Mansfield on the above charge. Mr. Harvey appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Tyndal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Bluck, defended the prisoner. The case was only partially gone into, as Mr. Atkinson had to attend another court. Mr. Harvey, however, opened the case, and intends to call a large number of witnesses. So far as the case was gone into it would appear that the ship went to Akyab, in India, where she loaded a cargo of rice, and some tobacco. She was a remarkably tight and dry vessel, but all of a sudden in the Bay of Bengal she began to leak most alarmingly_ thirteen inches of water in the hour. This leak was tried to be got at, but failed. H ow ever, it stopped as suddenly as it had commenced. Going round the Cape of Good Hope the leak ommenced again, and after some time it stopped in the same way as before. The captain con sulted his officers and crew, if it would not be well to put into Pernambuco, and get at the leak. The prisoner was the only man for going on the voyage, sayine , if the ship went down it would he a glorious thing for the captain to go down wi, h her. The ship was put into Pernambuco and surveyed, anti a portion of the car , o transhipped of the owners Holes were then discovered in the ship, and - froze, what transpired suspiision fell on the prisoner, and he was sub sequently put into irons. The master of the ship, Mr. Henry Owens, was then called, and went on to prove the above facts, when the case wa s f ur th er a djourned to this day. emmmossi!

Mr. Aspinall offered to withdraw the action, provided the defendant would paint the whole house the same colour. Mr. Brett, w ho appeared for the defendant, declined to comply with the suggestion, but offered that the offensive stripe should be painted out. As the parties could not agree, the action proceeded, and the plaintiff and his wife were examined to prove the case.
