THE DISTURBANCES AT BARCELONA.

The Gazette of the South gives the following ver-
sion of the disturbances at Barcelona :

The principal manufacturers of Barcelona have been com-
plaining for some time about the diminution of their orders
and the constantly increasing contraband trade in Englidt
goods. A vast coalition, consisting needy of all the work•
men, from forty to fifty thousand, in this, the second city
of Spain, had been formed, the object being to impose new
conditions on the masters. On the 2nd of July some me•
cuing crowds having netted their orders to the chief ma-
nufacturers, two of the latter refused to accept them and
were assassinated. One of them was formerly a deputy to
the Cortes, M. Sol y Padrix. The national militia, into which
the monition of July has thrown a great many men of ob-
scure station hitherto not trusted with arras, remained Audi
passive during these excesses. The captain general, UP'
taro, asked the officers if he could depend on their men, but
he did not mein a eatisfactory answer. The leaders prier
tested that their movement was not political ; the groups
of men shouted out even " Long live Espartero !" adding to
the cry, " Down with the Moderados ! The workmen's
union or death !" At the departure of the Cid everything
seemed to have grown cairn again, but the master manu-
facturers had either fled or concealed themselves. The
ringleaders continued to prevent the resumption of work.
The captain general, fearful of bringing about a ninnies
with these blind and furious masses, and not having is.
ceived yet the reinforcements he had demandei, withdrew
with his garrison troops into the citadel. The city wet
consequently given up to itself.

NAPLES, Jets 30.
I spoke to you in my last letter of a permission
and intention to form a hospital in the Island of
Ischia for the benefit of the Crimea invalids. When
divested of all the adjuncts which the vocepublic°
throws round everything, the report, I believe,
amounts to this. There are some springs in the
Island of Ischia of great efficacy in healing wounds.
The proprietor of one or more of these springs re•
quested an interview with Sir William Temple, in
which he strongly pressed his view of the case, and
suggested that they might be of the greatest aides&
tage to the victims of the war. I have reason to be•
Here that on this representation a communication
has been made to Lord Panmure on the subject, and
en attendant the answer, Naples is full of reports of
hospitals and I know not what else. It is to be hoped
that we may not want cholera hospitals in Naples,
but it has been said that one case appeared the other
day. If there is, however, any tendency to it, the
unusually cool and rainy season we have had Will
have kept it under much.
The harvest is of the most promising and akin•
dant kind, and the wheat, which has already bees
got in in many places, is in high condition. The
malady amongst the vines is, however, I regret to
say, almost universal.. Until the beginning of Jew
