THE RECOGNITION OF ITALY BY SPAIN.

A communication from Madrid contains the
subjoined :—" The hostility of the bishops and neo-
catholica is becoming daily more violent ; the pro-
tests are becoming more numerous, and the columns
of the so called religious journals are encumbered
with signatures more or less apooryphal. Even
were they all authentic no great importance should
be attributed to them, for in the great majority of
the villages of the Peninsula the curd has preserved,
not certainly a very great prestige, but at least a
certain authority, which at a given moment may
lead the ignorant classes to take part in different
kinds of manifestations. Among the most recent
addresses of the prelates, those of the Bishops of
Lugo and Cuenca are remarkable for their intem-
perate language. The principal object of their
attacks is the press : the journalists are spoken of
personally in the most offensive manner. The
Bishop of Cuenca, in imitation of that of Tarazona,
is especially angry with M. Posada Herrera, and
I calls on the Queen to force her Minister of the
Interior to make a public and solemn profession of
faith. Those ecclesiastics believe they may still
exercise their dominion as in the middle ages, and
would no doubt like to compel M. Poaada Herrera
to do penance at the door of a church, barefooted
and with a taper in his hand. The Pensiamenfo
Espanol publishes a protest against the recognition
of the kingdom of Italy, dated from Artajous, in
the province of Navarre, and signed by 1,500 per-
sons. The village, however, contains only a thou-
sand souls. The genuineness of the rest may be
judged by this example. Mgr. Claret, confessor to
the Queen, left yesterday evening for Barcelona,
and the neo-catholic journals declare that he will
not return to the court."
The Indepetedanee Beige says :—" The reply of
the Italian government to the note in which Spain
announces its recognition of the new kingdom is
already on its way to Madrid. The tenour of this
diplomatic document, as far as known, is said to
be moat satisfactory for the Spanish government."

The Dean of Carlisle says that, as things now
are, " hoe. gentlemen are borne into St. Stephen's on the
turbid wave of rational intoxication." He thinks there
will be no improvement until there is a prohibitory law
actiMst the ',le and public use of stimulants during the
elections.

Mr. Gill. the defeated cludidate, was imprisoned
for debt in Cannel during the eleetioe. It was for law
eseM lectured io the libel ease of " White e. Gill," not
the maw of the plaintiff, for the jury did not agree, but
the wets of big own attorney. An appeal is made to the
polio fsr subscription to relieve Mr. Gill by paying the
east of the lawsuit " stotsined in defines of the tenant
farmers of Ireland, and every lover of truth and (airplay is
vegetated to contribute." Mr. Gill represents a party so
estivate that hie friends would not bear Mr. Garen Duffy
pleading the muse of hie (deed Mr. Dillon. Yet over 1,000
el the s'ecters reeordsd their votes for the prisoner, against
the ioduenie of their priests.

A 000rmission of lunacy was held yesterday on
Mr. Tyningttam, a gentleman of cossiderable landed pro.

tuned a rennet that Mr. Tyniegbasn was of assenad
mind and usable to swop his owa affairs.
