SPAIN.

Oor Madrid correspondence to the sth inst. state
that prayers were ordered to be delivered throughout
Spain for the welfare of the Pope. The utmost
efforts were made to induce his Holiness to oome to
Spain.
A Madrid correspondent writes that the fact of the
British consul at Cadiz having been present at the
levee held by the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier
on their arrival there, and afterwards at a dinner
given by their royal highnesses, had occasioned con-
siderabh surprise and sensation in that capital, as
it was presumed this functionary would hardly have
adopted such a course without instructions from his
government; whilst on the other hand, considering
the present state of affairs, it was difficult to under-
stand the spirit in which such instructions were dic-
tated. The petition of the Narvaez administration
was becoming very precarious, and it was generally
supposed he would, either before or immediately after
the meeting of the Chambers, be replaced by M.
Circuits Bravo.

TURIN.—In the sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties (says the Conedrdia of the 7th inst.), the Minister,
on being questioned as to the programme of the new
Austrian ministry, wherein it is declared that Austria
will preserve the integrity of the empire, and required
to communicate to the chamber whether this did n-t
imply on the part of Austria • change in the bases of
the mediation, replied ' No modification has been
made in the bases of the mediation," but rallied to
give any further explanations. At Turin the minis-
terial crisis has not yet subsided.
London, England, 1848-12-12

A es pert is in drealaßon, that the government will
to-morrow present a project cf law for an amnesty for
all the insurgents of June.
In addition to the names I have already men-
u composing the new cabinet under Prince
Louis, that of M. Bement is mentioned, as
well as those of M. Leon de Mslleville, and
Hippolyte Paley, whom I announced in former de-
snatches. The distribution doffioes is variously stated.
M. 0. Bar rot is still spoken of as viee-president of the
republic, but I have reason to believe that this idea
has been laid aside, and that M. Bacot will be
premier, that is to say, president of the council of
ministers M.Remusat is mentioned for foreign affairs,
and M. Oudinot for the Ministry of War. Some days
ago I announced to you that M. de Malleville would
be Minister of the Interior, and M. Pussy of the
Finances.

These appointments are now more distirctly an-
nounced. M. Leon Faucher will be in the cabinet,
but with what portfolio is not yet definitively settled.
It will most probably be Public Works. M. Dufaure
will not bo included, and it is probable that hie condi-
dateship for the presidency of the chamber may not
be supported by the new government. The vice-
presidency of the republic is not yet settled.
A consider ible rise took place to-day at the Blume
at the opening, the Threes commencing at 44 25, and
the Fins at 70 50. At the close the Threes fell to
43 15, and the Fives rose to 70 66. Bank Shares
closed at 1500.

Nothing of interest °canned in the chambers np to
the moment of closing these despatches. The question
of the presidency has craned to be agitated, the defi-
nitive nomination of Prince Louis being assumed by
all parties.
M. Dufanre is expected today to present a project
of law for closing the club'.
P.S. Since sending off my second despatch, I have
just heard that at this moment the Guard Mobile in
the Plain Vent Vane are charging their muskets, and
are about to repel the crowd, who are showing indi-
cations of ~de.

There is now manifested more agitation than
prevailed yesterday or this forenoon. Groups are
formed everywhere, bat they are bski in observation
by patrols of National Guards. The steps leading to
the lioness, and a good deal of the space in front of it,
are covered by people declaiming on all manner of
irritating subjects.
Since the foregoing was in type, we have received
the following by electric telegraph :

guilt. On Sunday night last, James Hayes, a native of

had been in Mr. Mayle's employ, called upon him and stated
that he set fire to the prentues, but that he bad no par-

committed for trial at the suites.

With us in England the ranks of political life

tilled by thaw of the gentry and iristocraoy who
will devote themselves to the acquirement of
political knowledge—by barr eters whom habits
and practice naturally. fit them for and in-
troduce them to politics—by commercial men,
who have especial interests to detend or pro-
mote, and whose experience is valuable, and only
to be acquired in the position they hold. In France
theme three sources of politics' eminence were almost
dry. The aristocracy is no more ; country gentle-
men without irfinence or experience, roved to be
bigoted and bad legislators—they it was, wioireci-
posted the throne of the elder Bourbons to perdition.
The bar, from the causes which we have ibed,
furnished hw statesmen. Commerce was more pro-
lific, and gave the PERRIERS and the Lsmrine.
But all the young talent of the nation, of all grades,
sought the press. CHATEAUBBIAND, the Duo de
BROGLIE, Count MONTALLMBEET, took to writing in
the public journals. M. Outzor, M. THIESS, the
entire of the eminent politicians and ministers
of LOUIE PHILIPPE'S reign, acquired their
first eminence in the columns of the press. It
was they who set the example, and who
taught the people and the sovereign to look for
statesmen in the offices of journals. Lord BROUGHAM,
therefore, in anathematising the press, is in reality
cast:ng contumely on those whom he most admires.
And he does so in utter ignorance of what he is talk-
ing about. Nor when the Times speaks of the dif-
ferent effects of the anonymous and noo.anonymons,
does it make a less idle and irrelevant distinction.
The fears and the ideas entertained by both re-
specting the press, could only have sprang from
want of reflection. The press in France ac-
quired its importance, as the source of states-
manship, by all other sources being dried or abut
up. Let the bar be flung open ; the judges taken
from it. Let there be provincial courts. Let the
right of association be permitted. Let men address
their fellow-men as they list, form clubs and societies
freely and openly. Let municipal bodies, let provincial
seowile, have influence and freedom of discussioe,
esmething more than a name, and men with political
talent will no longer choose the press as the sole ave-
nue to distinction and to power.
There is at this moment a great dearth of political
talent both in France and England : in France be-
cause the sources and schools of political experience
and talent are closed. In England the great want
arises from the circumstance that political knowledge
and capacity have now become more difficult and
serious things than they were even a guar-

EDINBURGH, DEC. 30.
Church and state are at variance in Aberdeen. A
vacancy having taken place in one of the town
churches the magistrates decline presenting a new
minister, for the reasons specified in the following
minute :
That, taking into consideration the annual loss arising to
the funds of the community from the kirk charge—amount-
ing, for several years past, to a large annual sum, the
amount this year being no less than about 1,3001., with no
immediate prospect of improvement—joined to the fact of
there having been, since the disruption, nothing, in point of
numbers, that can he considered as constituting a congrega-
tion in Greytriars Church—while the seats in several of the
town's other churches are not above, if indeed so much as,
half let—the committee consider it their duty to make the
following proposals to the reverend the presbytery:—l.
That the present fabric of Greyfriars Church shall be re-
moved, and the parish conjoined with some other of the city
parishes, whereby the community will be relieved of the
stipend at present payable for this church. 2. That this re-
moval and conjunction shall continue until such time as the
sittings in the other five town's churches shall be let and paid
for to the extent of three.fourdas in cumuli, of the whole
sittings; in which case the town council shall be bound to
erect a new church to accommodate the same number of
sitters as the present Greyfriars Church ; and to present an
incumbent to the same, with the some stipend as is now pay- '
able for this church. That the sanction and co-operation of
the presbytery be respectfully requested to carry these pro-
posals into effect.
The presbytery again decline acceding to the pro-
posed suppression, and there the matter rests in the
meantime. Should the magistrates not present
within six months the fits derolatant falls to the pres-
bytery, who will exercise it as they did on occasion of
the last vacancy. This will likely lead to litigation,
particularly as the law regarding the stipends of the
established church ministers in towns is exceedingly
vague. A Dundee minister has the town council of
that town presently before the Court of Session for re
fusing to enlarge his stipend, and there are some
points between the council and presbytery of Edin-
burgh tolerably ripe for the mediation of the gentle-
men of the long robe.

DUBLIN, DEC. 30.
A correspondence of rather a singular nature has
been passing between the Earl of Clarendon and a
body called The Agricultural and Constitutional
Society of Tenant-Farmers in Tipperary." This asso-
ciation,comprising an unionof seventeen parishes, with
head-quarters in Cashel, and a Mr. Beasley as presi-
dent, hit upon a plan for tranquillising the country,
abolishing crime and outrage, and rendering the
viceregal course through the thorny ways of Irish
policy. as smooth and soft as eider-down. The con-
stitutional society regarded their offer as the test of
justice, and identified its rejection with the ancient
enmity, and hatred of government and landlords to
the persecuted Dalcassian. Here is the plan, in all
its formal reality :
We hereby declare, in the name of our agricultural and
constitutional society, that our body is composed of seventeen
parishes of the union of Cashel—the very parishes in which
it is supposed most of Ireland's crime is committed,—that the
tenant-tanners of the society shall immediately convert
themselves into an association of active of the
peace. They will hold themselves, in every townland,
responsible to the government that no more agrarian crime
shall be eornmitnd—that no more coercion laws, constabu-
lary, or military shall be necessary—that abundance of food
for the po,mlation of the 17 parishes shall be raised, employ-
ment afforded, act emigration to America or England pre-
vented. No more agents or tax or rate collectors shall be
necessary. Provided the following offers be accepted,
namely:—That the tenantlarmers be allowed•

sideration whereof they undertake to pay, at stated periods,
all rates and taxes and rents, if the landlords Si) not raise
them. This will be done without collectors' or agents'
assistance.

character of the sovereign Pontiff, and the unhappy
eireamstanoes in which he is placed, pronounce that
the possession of the city of Rome is indispensable to
the soteranity and prepooderaneeof theßomeneatholic

should be wanting. For the purpose of more Gifu-
