from these rows, a sheath knife fell out of one of the

out for the knife, and, as its owner picked it up, the
opronent grasped at it, caught the knife by the 1•11.1 e, an•l

his own knife. and it is sail made a blow at the other
man. The angry fellows were stopped, sni examined :

who seem in none instances to have oppressed the Gospel,
of course," sail he, "English M worn are very different,"
a remark which caused applause. The lecturer told the
story of the irmatness arid decline of Spain, once go great,
rich, and powerful, all to be on the highroad to univere
dominion, but whose opinion no one now cares for.
Speaking of the great waste of Spain's wealth on church
buffeting% the Esoirinl was descrifed, built in the forni of
a gridiron, in order of St. Laurence, who is said to have
been martyred by broiling, and who, when done on one
side, invited his cook to turn, end when thoroughly I
broiled to taste him. The monarch who had the Escorial I
built once gave the order that all the inlialetents of the
low countries (Holland and Belgium) with few exceptions,
should be put to death; he himself lingeree on for many
days, hauntezi by the fear that what he had done for Vie
Church was after all a damning sin. Next were pawed
the terril•le mistakes of Fer•linand and Isabella, who
allowed the Inquisition to he established, which was
empleyed as an instrument of finance, of police and
revenge, which hunted out and destmyed the Protestant,,
and also inconvenient Radicals. It found that at one
time so many were favourable to Protestantism that, if
seized they. all the prisons of Spain would not hold them;
but it went to work with such infernal ..nergy that it

testantism of that time in Spain was a charred ma, of
beaten bones near one of the gates of Madrid. They

But the Spaniard had no desire for anything better,

objection, and he is so proud that every Castilian believes
Spain to be the first country in the wore'. Castile, the first
province, and himself the first of its inhabitants. Next we
went thresh the province of La Mancha, where a bright

It lass been asserted that, on a late occasion, signals of
di:4mm shown by two vessels in the (toads were diwa,
canted. The matter is most grave, casting reflection, not
only on the coastguard and the captain of one of the
Jersey packets, but also on officers of the watch of U.M.
Ships Warrior and 110.cass en. It seems that the barque
Battle Axe s,,iiing in from sea, endangered the emigrant
ship Her 11l i l ow, awl we believe that part of the rail in both
ships was 110,1134e11. It is alleged that +lanais of ilistress,
namely rockets, were usel both by the )leriolone awl the
Battle Axe, but that they were not attended to. Front
the Weymouth E•planmle was Seel, the !due light, also a
11 Otitis light, and these signals attracted the attention of
even those who were not seamen. But the rockets our
informants di.l not see, although they observed c irefully
the lights. The coastguard also deny Miring no•n the
rockets. The matter is I ather strange, and, as it is moat
important, we venture to call attention to the night
stgoals, a, Prescrils.sl by the Board of Trade. The °theist
circular states with regard to

FOR A PIL9T.

At n;gAr. —The folios tog signals numlered I and 2,
when used or displayed together or .parately, shall be
deemed to be signals for a pilot at night, viz. —"1.: The
pyroteehni, light, commonly know .1 a blue light, every
fifteen minutes : or-- 2. A bright white light, flashed or
shown at short or frequent intervals just above the
bulwarks, for about a minute at a time."

SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.
The following signals, either together or separately, are
signals of distress at night.
"1. Aeon, fired at intervals of all nit a minute; or
"t ram.; on the ship, as from a burning tgabarrel.
oilharrcl, etc., or
"3. Itockas, or shells of any colour or description.
fired one at a time, at short intervals."
In the same circular, the use of rockets for signals,
according to a private mile, is permitted, such signals
being regl4erel. We believe that the coast,piarl M. not
allege that they were misled by the latter provision ; but
that rockets were not seen. It seems impossible that the
tw warships could also have failed to render assistance
it the ywkets had lwen discharged ; but if ow, vessels in
distress had better alw adopt the expedient of lighting up
a tarlarrel, or tiring the minute gain.
