SPAIN.

In the sitting of the Madrid Chamber of Depu-
ties on the 18th the Minister of Marine gave the
following explanations:

We have fourteen war vowels under meelanotion in Spain
and four abroad, all screws and large vowels, as there are
mom them seven armour-plated frigates of from 800 to
1,000 hone power. These vessels were expected to have
been completed earlier, but their oonstrootioe requires tiros.
It was thought they would be prepared for patting out to ma
by the let July, but they will Dot be ready for four or five
month, Igor. We have effected an economy in the expedition
to the Pacific. That squadron was to have gone to the
Philippines, and returned by the Cape of Good Hope. We
have now given General Puma instructions for the fleet to
return direct, and to await Galen at the Rio de la Plata
station, instead of going from San Fmadeeci to the Phi-
lippines. That coulee will nurse a raving of expense. In
the Ministry of War no retrenchment whatever is possible.
There is even reason to fear that the sum in the budget
applied for provisions will be ineafikreat, esPecley d Gel
altou'd Dot shortly favour us with rain ; in that case, short-
ness of food is to be feared.

KxcrrEMU'r AGAINST ENGLAND.

The New York Neenisig Post says it is rumoured
in Washington that Mr. Seward has sent despatches
containing strong remonstrances to the British go-
vernment concerning the war vessels fitting out for
the South in England, and that hints will soon be
thrown out of reprisals and non-intercourse. If
the Federal agents now in England do not succeed
in purchasing the vessels fitting out for the South,
and these vessels are permitted to leave England,
trouble between England and America is antici-
pated.

• The New York Herald is of opinion that there are
strong probabilities of a speedy rapture between
England and America, growing out of the offensive
attitude of England on the privateer question.
The motion in the Confederate Congress to

change the mat of the government wee rejected.

The New York World thinks that the ridicule
which the arrests at Beading, Pennsylvania, will
excite, will be an excuse for the government to
abandon arbitrary arrests.

is very heavy for sheep at almost late rates ; but
more cheerful for lambs, although it is difficult to advance
prices. Calves are selling about the same as on Thursday.

THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS.

The German journals are almost exclusively
occupied with the Frankfort Congress. The
Press of Vienna says that Von Schmerling
will accompany the Emperor of Austria. The
assembly will be held in the Romer or Town
Hall, in which the Emperors of Germany
were formerly elected. The Emperor of Austria
will open the assembly with a speech, and
reporters from the public press will be admitted
and allowed to take notes. The King of Prussia, it
appears, has decidedly refused to take part in the
congress. While admitting the necessity of a fe-
deral reform, he thinks that this reform
should be previously considered and decided
upon by special representatives or diplomatists.
The Volks Zeifung of Berlin remarks that while
willing to accept reform from any quarter, national
representatives, chosen by universal suffrage, should
be elected to co-operate with the sovereigns in the
elaboration of a work which concerns the whole of
Germany.

THE POLISH INSIIRRECTION.
CRACOW, AUGUST 10.

An engagement took place on the sth at Polichna,
in the palatinate of Lublin, in which the insurgents
under Krysiuski and Wagner were victorious.
They pursued the Russians for a distance of two
miles. The loss of the insurgents was inconsider-
able.

Russian troops are moving from Janow and
Kraamystaw. The Poles are likewise concen-
trating their forces and a battle is expected in
consequence.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

POLAND.

The Vienna Press, of the Bth, gives a detailed
account of the state of things in the palatinate of
Kalisch. Almost all persons belonging to the edu-
cated and comfortable classes are in prison. 7n the
district of Piotrkow there are only three
proprietors in the enjoyment of their li-
berty. In the battle of Sczemin the Russians
placed in their front the Polish prisoners,
having at their head the superior of the
Bernardino Convent of St. Anne, in order that
they might be the first shot. The Russian Colonel
Ehrenberg addressed the peasants iu the convent,
and invited them to divide amongst themselves the
property of the landlords, especially the forests.

BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF A SERVANT.

At the tVellington Police-court, on Friday, a
shocking ease of barbarity was brought before Messrs. M. G.
Moysey, T. E. Clarke, and E. Houlditch, disgracing the
county of Somerset. Superintendent Goldsmith, of the
Somerset constabulary, charged Thomas Cork, n farmer,
occupying Stanoombe Farm, in the parish of Lang-
ford Budville, and his wife, with a series of aggravated
assaults on the person of Sarah Webber, a woman
between 50 and 60 years of age, and of weak intellect.
The male prisoner pleaded guilty, the female not guilty.
From the evidence given it appeared that when the
woman entered the service she was to receive 31. a-year,
but had only received 3a, after being there nine months.
When able to do her work her master and mistress treated
her with some consideration, but when she fell ill their
conduct was marked with extreme brutality. On one
occasion, when ill in bed, her master rubbed her
nose and month in matter of a most offensive descrip-
tion. On other occasions, when ill, the muter end
mistress sent a man servant to ber bedroom, who poured
buckets of water over her whilst in bed. On another
occasion ber master tied her by the hands to a beam in •
cheese-house, from whence she was ultimately released by
• daughter of the defendants. Ou a third occasion, when
she could not turn a cheese, ber muter threw part of a
bucket of water over her ; and on another occasion' when
she could not work, he kicked ber brutally several times.
The crowning act of all was committed by the female
pri-
soner, who famed portions of • honeycomb containing
bees into the poor creature's mouth, and revelled in the
writhings of the sufferer as the bees stung her. The
bench acquitted the female defendant, the evidence
against her not being confirmed, and charitably believing
that she acted under the influence of her husband. With
regard to the male defendant they expressed their horror
of his barbarous conduct in the strongest possible
terms. The Chairman (Mr. Moymey) said the bench felt
they should not be doing their duty towards the unfortunate
creature who had been so brutally ill-treated or to the
public if they did not visit the offence with condign punish.
meat. It was not their intention to visit the offence with •
pecuniary fine, but, in order to mark their sense of his
atrocious conduct, they should order him to be imprisoned
in the common gaol for six calendar months, and during that
time to be kept to hard labour. This announcement was
received with loud applause, and had it not been for the
protection of the polio, it is doubtful whether the defendant ,
would have reached the gaol alive, so inveterate were the
people, especially the women, against him.—Western Daily
Press.

GREECE.

The Paris Prase of to-day says :—" The Greek
triumvirate is constituted. It consists of Bulgaria,
Rouffos, and Canaria, who at first refused
but ultimately yielded to the remonstrances of
the French minister. Thus the republic has be-
come a matter of fact, and all parties, tired of
temporising, and impatient of the provisional,
seem resolved to attach themselves to it.
Some speak of putting the young republic under
the English protectorate, which would console many
for Prince Alfred's refusal."

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A LADY FROM

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys,

lizs. Miss Smart, aged 45 years, who committed suicide
last Tuesday evening, under very distmeriag oirramstsoces.
' Mr. William Smart, 41, Clifton-street, Finsbury, said
that deceased was his wife. He was a manufacturer

omed was siWeg at tea, and she was very desponding in
eosesquisee of the serious ilium of their only child, who
had sines died. She said, after some time, "I do not like the
Samar of this Ma. I shall go out and buy some that is better."
She droned and went out. The next he heard of her was that
she had leapt off London-bridge. He had no doubt she
earentitted suicide through diatractioe at the expected loss
of their child. He had on one occasion, 10 years ago,
found her in a dying condition, and she °Defogged that she
had taken poisoe, but she promised solemnly that the would
not do such a thing again if he would forgive her.
The jury returned a verdict " That deceased destroyed
her life while of unsound mind."

THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.

Sir GEORGE BOWYER inquired of the President of the
Board of Trade whether the attention of the government
bad been directed to the effect of underground railways in
the metropolis on buildings in the neighbourhood of the
lines ; and whether the government would take the subject
into eamideustion.

Mr. MILNER GIBBON presumed that in the ranwar
acts parliament would insert such claws' as were necessary
for the protection of public and priest* interests. There
would be a remedy for any mischief done by au action at
common law, but the question was one which would have
been more properly addressed to the Attorney-General.

THE ATLANTIC MAIL PACKET COMPANY.
Mr. BAXTER asked the Chanoe/lor of the Exchequer
when the papers with reference to the renewal of the Gal-
way contract would be laid upon the table, and lithe govern-
ment bad been apprised of any proposal on the part of the
Atlantic Royal Mail Company to make not Galway, but
Liverpool or some other English port, the point of the de-
parture and arrival of their eteamem.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that
papers coattiaiog the correspondesee which had taken
place between the government and the Atlantic Mail Packet
Company had been laid on the table, or would be that
evening: With respect to the intention of the company to
sail their vessels from an English port, that could only be
stated as • proposal, and was in fact quite alien to the con-
tract. Ha had not heard of any proposal from the com-
pany to that effect, but there was a letter from Mr. Inman,
of The Liverpool line--(a laugh)—in which be stated that
he had reason to believe the company contemplated some-
thing of the kind. Her Majesty's government bad no in-
formation on the subject.

POLAND.

There appears to be no doubt that the Polish
insurrection has extended in Lithuania. From
Siematyce the insurgents withdrew into the forest
of Bialowiezka, in the government of Grodno.
This forest contains a superfices of 40 square miles,
and with the exception of the isolated dwellings
of a few charcoal-burners, the only inhabitants to
be met with are hunters and the various persons
employed there by the State, who are assembled in
a single village in the midst of the forest.' "There
is not anywhere," observes the Austrian Gawtte, "a
more favourable spot for carrying on a partisan
war."

According to a letter from Szezakowa, in the
Ost-Deutsche Post, travellers arriving from Russian
Poland, who have had an opportunity of seeing
the bands of insurgents, state that they include a
large number of Hungarians in their ranks.

THE PROSECUTION OP PROFESSOR JOWETT.

The case cof "The Rev. Drs. Purvey, Heurtley,
and Ogilvy v. the Be,. B. Jowett, M.A.," which has ex-
cited so much local sad general interest, was resumed in the
Chancellor's Court at Oxford yesterday, before Mr. Moun-
tains Bernard. The attendance of members of the unites-
mity was very numerous, the Rector of Lincoln, the Provost
GI Oriel, and the Principal of New Inn Hall being amongst
those present. Mr. Dishy I*th:tor appeared for the Wel-
lents, and Mr. Pottinger for the respondent.
Mr. Pottinger stated that on Friday last, when the case
was called on, he requested an adjournment till today,
promising to appear on behalf of the accused under protest
against the jurisdiction of that court.
After a brief preliminary discussion Mr. Pottinger handed
in a written statement to the effect that he protested that
the court bad no jurisdiction in the matter.
Mr. Latimer, as a matter of form, handed in a document
to the effect that the court had jurisdiction.
. . .

Mr. Pottinger then said in .the first place be should
contend that the court bad no jurisdiction in things merely
spiritual ; secondly, that the court wail not furnished with
the necessary machinery and forms for such a prosecution ;
and, thirdly, that the court had no jurisdiction over a
Regius Professor.
Mr. Latimer carefully followed Mr. Pottinger through his
objections, contending that the university bad jurisdictions
over all the members in ease of heresy, admitting that the
machinery of this court was not proper for the hearing of
cases so important, and regretting extremely that such was
the owe.
Mr. Pottinger having replied,
The Amasser said that be should give his decision on Fri.

and the latter to 49 to 50. South Tolgus, Stray
Park, Tincroft, Wheal. Harriett, Wheal Ludcott,

At • meeting of the Oxford Union Society, held
on Thursday, the 19th instant, the following motion, pro-
781by Mr. W. Berkeley, Fellow of Trinity, and supported
r. T. H. Grego, Fellow of Balliol, was carried after an
animated debate : '• That the moral support given by Bogi
land to the Ooefederate States is a disgrace to the sake."
Tun BLOCKADE OF THE SOUTHERN PORT&—It
is aureolay reported in Manchester that the cargo of the
Prisms Royal, reported to have been captured be the
United States blockading sqoadroo, cost 100,0001. It was
principally held in shares of 1,0001. each. Four leading
firms took the risk in the first instance and held 25,0001.
each. Some of this risk was afterwards spread over a larger
area, by the distribution of the 1,0001. shares, cad by sub.
dividing these again into shares of 1001. each ; but still
several of the original holders lose large amounts
by the miscarriage of the ventara, which it is
understood was not insured, owing to the large rates
now demanded for insurance on such speculations. Had the
yenta run the blockade it is estimated that her cargo
would have realised half a million sterling. The cargo of
another venal is now being subscribed for In Miumbeener,
but it le understood that upwards of 20000418 081 wesioi
to complete her freight. Report my' that the Manchester
people generally have been unfortunate in their veatate&

THAMES.

Segni, &Chinaman, was Charged on remand with stabbing
another Chinaman called Ahqua John Ahqua, late cook of
an American ship, and was again remanded for a week.
The wounded man is still iu the hospital, and is not likely
to recover.

CHRIST'S HOSPITA L —This institution has again
been attacked by its old enemy, the scarlatina. It is sup.
posed, with moms probability, to have been caught by one
of the boys in the course of the Christmas holidays, and by
him to have been communicated to his compunons. For
some time it was coofined to the boys or one ward, but is
Dow spreading over the whole of the school. Not less than
twenty boys are now in the infirmary, more or lees severely
affected by it. A committee of governors held on Monday,
to consider what measures ought to be taken to prevent the
infection speeding out of the school or being introduced
into it to a greater extent, came to the conclusion that the
poblic suppers" should not be held this year, and also
that no boys should be permitted to pus the hospital
bounds without a certificate of responsibility from their
parents or guardians. While we mind help regretting
that the custom of admitting the public to the weekly sup-
pers during Lest--a custom which we believe dates from
the fonedigioe of the school—should now for the first time
be neglected, we feel that the highest praise is due to the
governors for the promptness and deciaiou with which they
have acted in providing for the safety of the boys under
their can and the mu* of the public in general.—City

TO TEIII IDITOII OF TB! ZIP/NOS.

SIR.—In your report of the proceedings in bank-
ruptcy, in this case, Yr. Boucioanlt is represented u stating
that I entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale
of the Westminster Theatre, and that I was also a pro-
moter of the New Theatre Company (Limited) . I beg to
say that both theme allegations are utterly untrue. I never
made any such agreement, and when asked to do so I most
distinctly refused.

There'are other misstatements in the published report
of this case, but these are the most important.-1 am, &c.,

THE POLISH QUESTION.

REPLIES OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
BERLIN, AVOIAT 17.

Letters received here from St. Petersburg, respect-
ing the contents of the notes of the Western powers,
'data that the purport of the French note is of a
thoroughly pacific nature, and that the English note,
although couched in terms of the moat perfect
courtesy, is rather more reserved, although main-
taining the earns sense.

Both notes persevere in the proposals for-
merly made by the powers to Rival*. They regret
that Russia has not consented to accept the six
points,the project of a conference, and an armistice,
but hope that, after mature consideration, the
government of the Emperor will arrive at a dif-
ferent conclusion. While both powers make
Russia responsible for future consequences, they
declare that, after having fulfilled the duties
imposed upon them by humanity and the right
interpretation of treaties, they must for the present
0011600 themselves to repeating their former obser-
vations with increased emphasis.
IL. Drouyu de Lhuya and Earl Russell further
declare themselves willing to await the measures
which the Russian government may adopt, iu the
hope that they will lead to peace.

Nothing authentic has transpired with respect
to the contents of the Austrian note.

It is believed that Prince Gortchakoff will take
some time before forwarding his replies to the
notes, as the Emperor left yesterday for Novgorod,
and will certainly not return for at least ten days.

MEXICO.
PARIS, Amon 17.
The following official announcement has been
published today:
"The government has sent instructions to
Mexico, revoking the measures relative to the
sequestration of the property of those who had
taken up arms to oppose us, and cancelling the
prohibition of the export of specie.
" Although the state of affairs in Mexico has
greatly improved, there are still some armed bands
in existence who find sources of support from cer-
tain custom-houses. In order to hasten their
dispersion, the French admiral, after August 25,
will establish a blockade extending from the La-
guiles ton leagues south of Matamoros to Cam-
peachy."

AMERICA.

(Per the Africa.)
NEW YORK, Accusr 4.
The steamship America arrived at New York
August 2, and the City of Manchester August 4.
The steamship Arabia arrived at Halifax August 3.
The following is the "situation" from the New
Yuri: Herald of August 4 :
According to rebel accounts a heavy bombardment from
Fort Wagner was commenced at daybreak on Friday, and
continued until 2 o'clock p.m., when it ceased. The army
of the Potomac is not making any forward movement,
nor is it likely to do so for a while. Fteconuoisaances
_ _

and skirmishes, however, continue daily. On Friday, for
instance, the Fourth Pennsylvania regiment encountered a
company of 100 rebel cavalry near Little Washington, 12
miles from Sperryville, and drove them through the town.
It was ascertained that a full brigade of rebel cavalry are
posted between Sperryville and Little Washington.
There is nothing very new to report from the
Mississippi Valley or Tennessee.
The following are the latest despatches received
from Charleston :

A private letter received in this city, dated .July
29, says :
I went yesterday to Block Wand and made a recounoia-
mance from the tallest tree there. Block Island is between
James Island and Morris Island, and distant from the
former about 1,000 yards. I sew from my elevated position
that the rebels were erecting a line of batteries and build-
ing rule pits, almost the entire distance from Fort John-
son to Seoessionville, along the river. I could look over
into Charleston and see wh►t was going on there quite
plainly. It is the nearest view I have yet bad of Charles-
ton ; but our brave boys will take a nearer one, and astonish
the rebels.

Fortress Monroe, AuTun 3.
The Richmond Whig of August 1 has been re-
ceived here, and contains the following :

Charleston, July 31.

Cumming's Point was severely bombarded yesterday
morning, commencing at about 10 o'clock. The Iroasidee
sad two Monitors were engaged. The bombardment lasted
until 3 p.m., when the vessels withdrew. The batteries,
Gregg, Simkins, Wagner, and Sumter, responded to the
enemy's fire. Two men were killed and one wounded at
Battery Gregg. The battery was not materially injured.
There was no firing on James Island to-day, and very little
from Fort Wagner. Beauregard visited the James Island
works to-day.
