SPAIN.

MADRID, Dec. 18, Emma.

Senor Bermudez Castro continued his speech in
the Senate this afternoon. He approved the expul-
sion of General Miramon, and blamed the conduct
of General Prim towards Almonte. He maintained
that the rupture between the plenipotentiaries was
caused by General Prim, and concluded by saying
that the position of Spain in regard to Mexico was
now worse than it had been before the expedition.
General Concha said he would not reply to the
arguments brought forward by Senor Bermudez and
Senor Calderon Collautes. He regretted that the
former had not read all the documents which had
been published. He considered his speech was a
mere repetition of that delivered by IL Billault
in the French Chambers. He would prove by
diplomatic documents that Spain had never deviated
from the policy set forth iu the treaty of London.

FEARFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
LISBON, Dsc. IS (vii Flung).

A terrific accident has occurred on the Eastern
Railway. A train, with materials and about 200
workmen, was passing over the Bridge of Sor,
when it suddenly gave way, and the whole were
precipitated into the river. It is reported that
about 100 people were killed, and many wounded.
The ministry have dismissed several more Cus-
tom-house employis.

The proceedings of the Duke de Loul6, who
wishes to have his marriage with the Infanta Donna
Anna officially legalised by the government, thus
making his son heir to the throne, in case of de-
fault, have caused much angry discussion in Lis-
bon, and given rise to bitter animadversions in the
provincial newspapers.
A change or modification of the ministry is al-
most certain to take place.
Her Majesty's ships Warrior, Black Prince,
Defence, and Trinculo are in harbour. The Revenge
and Resistance have gone down the river to prac-
tise their artillery.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
Thomas Bale surrendered to take his trial for misdemea-
nour. The specific offence imputed to the defendant was,
that he had unlawfully, and under the false colour and pre-
tence of carrying on trade, obtained goods within throe
months of his bankruptcy, with intent to defraud the
owners of those goods ,• and he was also charged with
pawning and disposing of other goods, with intent to cheat
and defraud his creditors._

—IT. "ni;;;ii;;;(l3,7Taylor were counsel for the prose-
cution ; Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defence.
This prosecution was instituted by direction of the Court
of Bankruptcy, and the prosecutors were Messrs. Kay and
Co., timber merchants. The case lasted several hours, •
good deal of time being occupied in reading long examina-
tions that took place at the Bankruptcy Court, but the
material facts lay in a narrow compass. It appeared that
the defendant had for about five years carried on business as
a packing-case maker, in Whitecross-strest, and it did not
appear to be disputed that be had commenced business with
very little, if any, capital, and that at the end of the year
1861 be was not in a prosperous way of business, and owed
• considerable amount to different creditors. Is Dec.,
1861, In January, 1862, and on the 10th February of the
some year, the defendant purchased • quantity of foreign
timber of the prosecutors, the amount of the last-meotioesd
transaction being 1761. 16.. On the 9th of May following
he became bankrupt, the amount of his debts being about
2,0001., and thesasets 8001.; and the allegation oil tbepartof
the prosecution was that the goods obtained by the del redact
in February were not intended to be need by him for the
boat fide purposes of his trade, but that his object was to
defraud the prosecutors of them. In order to support this
suggestion evidence was given that almost immediately after
the defendant obtained possesaioa of the war, luta for the
delivery of the timber he bird purchased in February, be
deposited them as security for as advance of money, and it
was also proved that he bed acted in the same manner
with reference to the other two purchases. flows
ap however, to be no doubt that during all
thisPereeid. nod the defendant was very much pressed for
money, and that be bad in one instance been compelled to
pay at the tete of 72 per cent. interest for money that he
had boriewad ; and it also appeared that in two months at
the commencement of the year he had paid 1541. for w
and it was admitted that money had been promised to him
as a loan to enable him to tide over his difficulties,
but that from circemetances that occurred the parties wars
unable to let him have it. There was alas another fast very
much in favour of the defendant, whkat was that be had got
himself ordered the timber of the rosseaton hi February,

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A ROMAN

CATHOLIC PRIEST.

The Rev. Patrick 'svelte, Roman catholic cler-
gyman of the parish of Partry, was recently charged at the
Dallinrobe Petty Sessions with easaulting John Horan, •
parishioner, in his own house at Derreenmore, on the 6th of
December. There was also acmes summons, the defendant
having made • counter charge of assault against the com-
plainant. According to the opening statement of Mr. Griffis,
the agent for the complainant, defendant bad on the morn-
ing of the day in question celebrated mass at complainant's
house, complainant making confession and receiving the
Sacrament, and being on the best terms with the defendant.•
The rev. gentleman, after the fatigue of his sacred duties in
the morning, regaled himself as he ought to do, by taking
breakfast after a long fast. He left, but again returned in a
few minute, and charged the man with writing • letter to
his landlord, Sir Robert Blosse. Hassid, " You have written
• letter to Sir Robert Blaine, and have introduced my Dame."
"I wrote no letter," said the man. "You did," said his rever-
ence. The defendant then struck him on the head, sod struck
him a second time, and be would have fallen only for the
bed that was near him. Complainant's brother said, "Do
not let him strike you again. The complainant having
been so assaulted by the Rev. Mr. Lavelle took up the
soap to protect himself, and the Rev. Mr. Inutile, regain-
log his prudence, /eft the house at the solicitation of the
Rev. r. Geraghty. The assault was not so serious in
point of injury to the man's health ; but it was a serious
injury to a man of this kind in his humble class in life to
be so degraded, and it wee • breach of the law which
should be checked. The offence wee farther aggravated
by the defendant's conduct on the following Sunday. On
that day, in the hones of God, he caused his subordinate
clergynian, after the man was finished, then and there'
to name this nice ; and then and there this clergyman,
acting under the milers of his superior, called out this poor
humble man from the altar—this clergyman denounced
him, and invoked the curse of God on him, and likewise
invoked the interposition of the holy angels and saints to-
wards its attainment. Mr. Griffin was here interrupted,
but proceeded—" Look at the auditory the defendant was
in the habit of addreesieg. He said to them that this poor,
humble man had• to sate him the previous
day. He cursed the emosueent, and called on the saints
and anpls to iovoke the curse of God on hint. This was a
nice ezhortatioe from the laud God!" Mare Mr. Gram
was spin interrupted ;'and it was Med that thin matter was

Mo.4.—Milk ham been so often analysed that
It would seem no further farts could he elicited regarding
this important liquid. Professor Boedecker, however, has
just completed a aeries of experiments conducted oe quite
new principle. The question be proposed to himself was
whether milk obtained at any hour of the day always pre-
sented the same chemical composition ornnt ; and he has
arrived at the result that the milk of the evening is richer
by :1 per cent. than that of the morning ; the latter contain-
Mg only 10 per cent. of solid matter, and the former 13 per
cent. On the other hand, the water contained in milk dimi-
nishes by 3 per cent. in the coume of the day ; in the morning
in contains 81) per cent. of water, and only tei percent. in the
evening. The fatty particles Manua gradnally as the day
wears on. ID the morning they amount to 217 per cent. ;
at noon, to 253, sod in the evening to 3'42 per cent. This
eireurnstance, if true, would be very important in a pear.
Heal point of view. Let us suppose a kilogramme of milk
to yield only the sixth part of its weight of butter ; then
the milk of the evening may yield double that quantity.
The moons particles are also more abundant in the evening
than in the morning : from 2/4 they increase to 2'70 per
cent ; bet the quantity of albumen diminishes from 0'44
to O• 31. The serum is ler abundant at midnight than at
noon, being 4.19 per cent, in the former case. and 4/2 in
the last.—Oolinnant. _ _

THE LOSS OP THE COLOMBO STEAMER,

The following telegram was received at Colombo
from Lieutenant R. G. Jenkins from Minicoy Wand, new
Cochin :

" Immediate.—Nov. 25, 13.10. Peninsular and Oriental
skimmer Colombo struck on north end of Minicoy Wood

intimation to the above effect ham been made to the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company at Bombay, and the rum•
mender of the Berenice at Sedashegur has been telegraphed
to, vi► Dharwar, to proceed on and render aid."
The government Ammer Berenice, et Sedashegur, wan
ordered by telegraph to proceed immediately to the island,
and the Peninsular arid Oriental Company's agent at Bora.
bay sent a steamer also. Sedashagur I. about 400 miles
from Minicoy Island, so that there would not be much
time lost in the steamer proceeding to the spot. No doubt
the more precious articles, including 4,003 f. worth of gold
from Australia, will be recovered by the aid of divers.
The Mono Times of the 18th says :—" As soon as the
news of the disaster reached Bombay, two of the company's
steamers, the Ottawa and the Acuff, were immediately
ordered to proceed to the scene of disaster to render
assistance to the shipwrecked vessel. The Ottawa
conveyed the mails and parisengers to Sum. As
an instance of the energy and real displayed by
the company's employel in an emergency of this kind, it
may be mentioned that under ordinary circurostanoes it
would probably have taken three or four days to prepare
the Ottawa for sea. She had neither coal, provisions, nor
water on board ; her boilers, moreover, were oat of order,
and required nearly 150 new tubes. Notwithstanding all
this, she was fully equipped and ready for sea in
is.. than sixteen hours from the first order being given,
The Minicoy Wand, where the Colombo stranded, is about
6a miles in length and half a mile in breadth, extending In
the form of a crescent from N.S. to S.W., with the cos'
cave ads to the N.W., where a circular coral reef projects
about 3 miles, and is joined to the extremes of the island
on the reef near the west point of the island. It is sup.
posed that it was on this coral reef that the Colombo
struck."

Letters from Rome bring a pieos of intelligence which,
under present circunvitances, has a certain significance. It
Is the departure of Baron de Bach, ambassador of Austria
to the Pontifical government. It is well to remem•
her on this occasion that Baron de Bach has
always shown himself very hostile to the reform
movement, and to the changes in the Austrian constitution.

Ileireover, he was one of the principal promoters of the
sowoordat concluded between Rome and Vienna, and on
many occasions he his not concealed the dissatisfaction
which he felt at the opposition manifested against the
cesoordat in parliament. The recall of Berm de Bach cm.
minly gives thin opposition greater importance.

A communication from Berlin has the following :
The Premien ministry has not yet come to any definitive
reardation upon the modifications to which the bill on the
military organisation is to be subjected. Deliberatkes are,
however, going on actively to the cabinet u the time for
the meeting of the Chambers draws rear, and the ministers
understand the necessity of nuking some concessions to
pmliament. Immediately after the arrival of the Prince
Royal from Vienna the King presided at a conference, at
which the Minster of War and to heeds of the different
corps were preeent. Several generals are said to have de-
clared for fixing provisionally the time of military service
at two years during the next five years.
The following is taken from a Berlin letter :

The King of Prussia has onoferred the title of count on
M. Von Usedom. If this title is, on the one hand, a com-
pensation for the diplomatist, who, although intended for
the poet of Turin, has renounced it in order to procerd to
Rama, it is, at the same time, ma anknowledgment of the
eminent senior which R. Von Usadom has rendered to
Prussia. It h unerted that M. Bramisr de St. Simon his

acrimony, that the Prince Royal, in coming from Roma, did

Henry Proem a talf;;r4MLiTwho described himself
as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Salle charged with
attempting to commit suicide.
Mr. John Brown a manure-dealer, of 38, Longfellow-
road, Bow, stated that at 9 o'clock this morning he saw the
prisoner on the bank of the Regent's-canal, near the
iron railway bridge, in the parish of Bethnal-green.
The strange manner of the prisoner attracted his attention,
and he saw him deliberately throw himself into the canal.
The prisoner went down and carne up again, and he
shoved a piece of board towards him to which he clung,
and was saved.

Mr. Sells—Bid you pull him out of the water!
Witnem—l did. sir.
The prisoner, on being asked why he jumped into the
canal, replied, carelessly, "To have a cooler, sir."
Mr. belle—A cooler?
Prisoner—Yes, a cooler.
Mr. Selfe—With your clothes on ?
The prisoner—Yes, with my clothes on.
Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by it?
The prisoner—I meant this—to have a cooler, and had one.
Mr. Salle —You have been drinking to excess, I fear.
The prisoner—l have been drinking heavily the last few
weeks.

Mr. Sella—What are you?
The prisoner—A labourer.
Mr. Selfe—You would have been drowned if that good

writes:—"The 170 east lode large, composed princiialall of
dookan kills,. The 170 west lode 7 feet wide,yielding
1 tau of copper ore per fathom, and low quality tin
stuff—Last sample rather short of 1 cwt. of tin per 100
sacks. Praed'sahaft now down 8 fathoms 4 feet, lode small
and poor. Petherick's abaft now down 8 fathoms 4 feet,
lode 18 inches wide, producing a little tin and copper, but
not to value. Wioze under 150, 22 fathoms mat of Praed's
shaft, now down 7 fathoms ; lode large, principally
flookan and spar. The 150 east lode looking more pro-
mising, worth 2.51. per fathom, bidding fair for a further
advance. Wince under 14.1 to come down about 5 fathoms
behind the present 150 end, now down 4 fathoms, containing
good stones of tin. The 130 east of Rule's shaft, lode 6 inches
wide, poor. The 120 east we are busily engaged in taking
down the lode, which looks far more favourable than at
any_ previous date, yielding capital work for tin. We hops
to draw the stuff on Monday next, and if possible I will
send you the produce and value by Tuesday's poet."

PARIS. MONDAY EVENINO.

M. Flavin, of the Siicfr, has done a very bold
thing, and one which places K de Persigny, with
his pretensions to be a liberal minister, in a diffi- -
cult position. As you are aware, the "black
man " was lately sent round to the journals with
an intimation that government would permit no
further discussion on the subject of the electoral 1
districts. It is necessary to explain that these sort '
of injunctions are illegal, or, rather, extra-legal.
There is nothing in the constitution to warrant
them ; nevertheless, they have had hitherto for all
practical purposes the force of law, because news-
paper proprietors have felt that it was no use argu-
ing legal questions with a government upon whose
good pleasure their existence depended. To the
remonstrance, " You have no right to order me not
to speak on this or that subject," the minister could
always reply, "True ; but I have a right to warn,
suspend, and suppress you without judge or jury,
and, therefore, it is puerile in you to raise legal
quibbles about my orders." This system was
exceedingly convenient for the government be-
cause it enabled the Moniteur to boast that
no censorship of the press existed in France,
it enabled the Minister for Foreign Affairs gravely
to assure foreign ambassadors of the same fact,l and
yet all the while the censure ruled rampant in the
offices of the journals. K Havin has taken upon
himself publicly to protest against this practice,
and openly and deliberately to disobey an order
from the Minister of the Interior. All honour to
him. His courageous step may, very probably,
mark an epoch in the progress of liberty under the
Empire. M. Flavin is a personage very well
placed for taking such an initiative. He was a
deputy of considerable influence in the time of
Louis Philippe and of the republic of 1848. He is a
man of independent fortune, and a councillor-
general for Thorigny-sur-Vire. He is the
editor and principal proprietor of the jour-
nal which has the largest circulation in
France, the Stick. With all these elements of
personal respectability, he is no systematic oppo-

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Font)league.)
IN HE HANWOOD.-VALIDITY OF RIGINTERLD ORM
. .

The trader, a builder, in Horsley- road, had entered into
arrangement with his creditors ; the deed bad
0 registered ; and the trader had received the ordinary
.:oluction. He had since been %nested by a creditor with-
lc any application to the court.
14argood now applied for the debtor's release.
gr. Bagley opposed, on the ground that application
1,,d already been unsucossfully made to the common law
„rim,. He relied on the case of " Walters r. Adcock."
His Honour said that as the party had been arrested by
pro of one of the courts' at Westminster the application
i,,rrelea,e should be made to that court.
)Ir. Itrgley applied for costa.
ihs Honour—Let the costa abide the decision of the Court
of I;xchoquer.

IN RE THORP.
The bankrupt was a fanner and water-cress grower of
widolerwell, Hampshire. This was the sitting for exami-
woo. The aco3unta, prepared by Messrs. Brown and
mbos, show debta to unsecured creditors, 2,1001. ; assets

—Mr. C. E. Lewis supported. There was no opposition on
the fort of the assignees.
Lucia opposed fora creditor, a neighbouring water-
ccss grower, who complained that the bankrupt had die
,erted the stream which fed his water-cress beds.

F rom examination of the bankrupt, it appeared that his
property was now in possession of his son, who had par-
,lased it at the sale.

Hu Honour iiiro—ot think that any benefit to the estate
could result from an adjournment, and allowed the bank-
mrt to pass his lest examination.

IN BE INIKB.—DISPUTED FAMILY PROOF.
The bankrupt was a tea merchant, of Peochnrch.itreet.
This was the first sitting. The debts are 4,7001., of which
upsarda of 4,3001. is stated to be due to one creditor, the
i.nkrupes father.
Mr. Sargood objected to the proof of the father being
admitted, owing to the want of particularity in the account
Tendered. One item was in this form :—" Oct., 18130. To
cz,h advanced to this date, 4,0001."

Mr. tarter supported the proof.
His Honour said that it had been a rule of the court for
mil, in the rise of family debts, particularly where they
were of large amount, that the proofs mud stand over
till impartial assignees were chosen, who might investigate
the claims.

JUDGM7-NT DZEITOR SUMMONS.
In the case of a judgment debtor summons,
yr. Heed took the objection that there bad been no
roper serrice, also that the summons had been improperly
tined, the debt on which judgment had been obtained
Laing been contracted before the passing of the act of
The judgment had been obtained since the passing
of the act, hut the debt was originally contracted in 1860.
Mr. Bradlaugh supported the summons, and contended
That the debt was not due and payable until the bill of ex-
change, which represented the debt, became due ; and this
did sot take place until after the new act was in operation.
His Honour was dearly of opinion that the debt had been
contracted before the new act came into operation, end oon-
sapiently could not be made the subject of a proceeding
ender that act.

MUSIC.

MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.

The fifth season of these concerts, so justly and
deservedly called popular, began last evening at St. James's
Hall, their ordinary locality. They have begun so much
earlier in the season than usual, in order, of coarse, to take
advantage of the number of strangers now in town, drawn
from the country and from abroad by the attraction of the
International Exhibition. In this the director his
judged well; for the ball was u full Last night
as it generally has been at the very height of
the season. It is announced that Herr Joachim
is engaged to assist at every coucert to be held while the
Exhibition remains open, and is to lead quartets of Haydn,
Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelseohn ; that Signor Piatti
bas accepted the post of violouoello, the part of second
violin being undertaken by Herr Lice, and that of viola
by Mr. Webb; and, moreover, that the pianoforte will be
represented by M. Charles Halle and Mr. Linds►y Sipper,
ore of whom will playa solo sonata at each concert.

Sts,—Her Majesty's Comtuissiouers met today
for the first time slow the publication of Earl Granville's
letter, from Gotha, of the 4th inst., and since the receipt
of the annexed letter from the Hoe. Frederic Cadopo.
They direct me to request that you will be ui good as to
publish Mr. Cadogan's Litter, and that you will farther
allow them to avail themselves of thin opportunity of slat-
hag in your eohmins, in the most emphatic terms, that at
the time when the refreshment contract waa let to Messrs.
Veillard and Martin Geeppet, neither they themselves, nor
the executive of the Exhibition, had any knowledge what-
ever of the existence of a deed of agreement between the
contractors and Mr. Cadogan. They did not, of course,
suppose that Mr. Cadogsn's constant services were given to
the refreshment contractors gratuitously ; bat it was not till

some time thee the opeeinge/ the Fshibitiou—six mouths

formal agreement became known to them.
The details of that agreement are unknown to them even

Dear Sir Wientworth,—l regret very mach to and that
there exists in the minds of some pampas an impression that
the paragraph in my letter to the Pima of the 24th Septem-
ber, where 1 say "the existence of this agreement was well
known not only to the executive," &c., in calculated to infer
that her Majesty's Commissioners were cognisant of the
existence of this agreement at the time that M. Veillard's
tender was socepted—an impression Melly at variance with
the true facto of the cane.
My words were intended to thew that there was nothing

from the granting of the contract to M. Veillard my posi-
tion towards him was a matter el atherietv.—Very sincerely

THE PRUSSIAN DESPATCH TO AMERICA.

In the despatch which has been forwarded by
' the King of Prussia to the Premien Minister at
Washington the law of the ease is not treated in a
detailed manner. It is remarked at the outset
that the news of the maritime measures adopted
in regard to the Southern states must
give rise to an apprehension that the
rights of neutral navigation may be injured.
In treating of the affair of the Trent, the
despatch expresses the hope that Captain Wilkes
may have acted without instructions. If, it says,
this supposition should not be well-founded, which
the Prussian government would wish to be the
case, it would be neceesary to admit that
the rights belonging to all neutral states have
received a severe blow. It is observed that the de-
mands put forward by England are not of such a
nature ea to wound the dignity of the government
of the United States or of its President. The hope
is expressed that these demands will be acceded to
by America. His Majesty the Prussian Kiug has,
it is remarked, always been animated by the moot
friendly dispositions towards the United States ; and
be has charged Count Bernstorff to express this poin
particularly, and to urge in the meet pressing
manner the maintenance of peace. Prussia would,
it is added, rejoice in having contributed to avert
the conflict. But if at the time this despatch
arrived at Washington a decision in the opposite
sense had been unfortunately adopted, the govern-
ment of the King would nevertheless experience the
satisfaction of having pronounced iu favour of
peace."
