SPAIN.

In the Spanish Cortes on the 22nd the govern-
ment, in answer to a question, said that it was true
that the Bishop of Zamora bad refused to give up the
ecclesiastical peoperty in his diocese destined to be
sold, in enseadei of the resent law, but that pro-
= :Id been instituted against him before the
Chamber, and they would be carried on
with encia. The government also announced that
the dillenities which had arisen with the Mexican
t with respect to its refusal to receive M.
All:ll2Bpanish minister, would be settled in such
a way se to conciliate the dignity of Spain with the
hard due to Mexico. The Grids. of the 220 d eon-
' terms a decree, dated the 23rd ult., by which General
6, la Concha, Captain General of the "ever faithful
I his of Cuba," raises the state of siege in that island
nod its dependencies, and takes oft the blockade
of the coasts which was established on the 13th
The Gazette announces that all fears of a
FnuYinvation of the island had embed; thatd
the
Mr.
n, who was to have conunanded it, an
other American officers who were to have taken
part in it, had resigned ; and that such serious dissen-
sion about money matters had arisen between those
gentlemen and the Cuban Society at New Orleans
ftt the latter bad been dissolved. It adds that, in
soneequense of this, commercial confidence had been
seostablhbed in the island, and the creation of a bank
as isene and dissount already decreed was to be pro-
eseihelliellb. The Epoea says that some letters of Ca-
ineseidnewing light on the plans of the Cerlists, had
Dees wind. The Queen had visited the cholera

REPAIR or Bumnyaralts-BlLlDOM—Yesterday at
a Court of Common Council, • report wee prevented from
the committee to whisk in December, 1864, had bees
referred the question of the taking down and
rebuildingreuilin
the defective pier at Blackfriambridge, as well
&robes restiag thereon. Tie report stated that the estimated
entwine of ezecuting the proposed work amounted to
39,3001., being an increase of 9,000/. es the estimate sub-
mitted in July, 1862. The Worms arose from the general
rise in the pries of materials, sad from an additional amount
of sooommodation designed to be provided for the traffic
during the pure of the works. Kr. Cox, pungent to
notice, moved ' That no further expense be at present
incurred in repairing the arches of Blukfriars bridge
referred to, beyond keeping the wooden. centres in good
repair." A very protracted discussion earned. The general
opinion seemed to be that the court would not be justified in
spending an enormous sum of money on a questionable im-
provement, and that the preterit financial engagements
would not for some years admit of the construction of a saw
bridge. It was also stated that competent engineers bad
reported that the erdstleg structure would bear the traffic
for several years. Ultimately Kr. Cos's motion was earned
by 34 votes 'gaud 18.
