SPAIN.

In the Epoea of the 2Mth, it is stated that a serious
riot had broken out at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, on ac-
count of a vessel being allowed to enter the port
from the Canaries which was supposed to have the
cholera on board. Several employes of the Junta of
Salubrity are said to have been assassinated, and the
governor compelled to take refuge on board an Eng-
lish vessel. This report is not confirmed by any
other of the Madrid journals.
In the Chamber of Deputies on the 28th, the
amendment proposed by the minority of the cora-
-1 mince on this best means of securing the inviolabi-
lity of members of the Chamber was then brought
forward. Alexander Castro, civil governor of
Madrid, opposed the amendment in a speech that
would have been worthy of Wentworth, when en-
deavouring to work out his doctrine of " thorough."
Bensvidea replied in a rich vein of humour, defending
the inviolability of the members of the parliament.
He asserted that no member of a Spanish parliament
had ever made so bad a nee of his privileges as to
justify his being prosecuted. He conjured the
ministry not to divide the moderado party. upon this
question, but to avoid putting the inviolability of
members in question. Hurtado, a miniaterialist of
very slender oratorical pretensions, was left speaking.
The Chamber was crowded with members, and all
the public and private galleries filled with spectators.

PIEDMONT.

In its sittings of the 29th ult., tho Chamber of
Deputies of 1 nrin continued the discussion on the
abolition of the expenses for public worship at the
charge of the state.

UNITED STATES.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT NEW YORK.
LIVERPOOL, TKLSSDAY NIGHT, 9 Wecoca.
By the United States steam-ship Baltic, which has
just arrived, we have three days later intelligence
from New York, the Baltic having sailed direct from
that port on the 22nd ult. She brings one million
and a half dollars in specie and forty.mne passengers.
The chief items of her intelligence are the particu-
lars of a distressing casualty at the Ninth Ward
school-house, in New York. It seems that a false
alarm of fire was raised whilst the scholars, 1,800 in
number, were present. A rush was immediately
made to the doors, and a portion of the staircase
gave way, precipitating a large number of them.
Fifty-one of the children met with instant death,
and seventy-five were more or less injured.
The Spanish difficulty has been finally arranged.
The Spanish consul has attended a dinner party
given by Mr. Webster, and the Spanish flag is to be
formally saluted at New Orleans.

Business was in an easy condition, the large exportation
of specie not having affected, to any great extent, mercan-
tile operations in the leading marts. Stocks and securities
had made a alight advance, and the money market was in
a better state than when the Canada left. The exports of
the precious metals were likely to continue.
Breadstuffs were not in active request. Prices were
much as formerly :—Western Canal flour, 3 dole. 53c. to 3
dole. 621 c. per hrl. Oennessee prime wheat, 92e. to 91c. per
lb. Indian corn, round yellow, 60e. to 62c. per bushel,
steady. Indian meal, 3 doll. 25c. to 3 dole. 371 c. per brl.
The cotton market at New York was quiet, and business,
to a moderate extent only, had been done. Prices were
quite steady, as follows :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid.
fair to fair, 91e. to 10:c. per lb; Uplands, mid. fair to fair,
81c. to9c. per lb.
Provisions were unchanged.
Exchange on London, 1101 to 1102, in good demand.
Paris, 6.12. Hamburg, 361 to 361. Bremen, 791 to 791.

The Africa's news was received here this evening. The
day's sales of cotton have been 6,000 bales, at irregular
prices. Strict middling is quoted at nc. per lb.

BOMBARDMENT OF SALEE.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH]

SOUTHAMPTON, FILIDAT, t A.M.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company a ship
Sultan has just arrived. Her dates are Smyrna,
Nov. 19; Malta, Nov. 28; and Gibraltar, Nov. 29.
She brings 2,500/. in specie, and a large and valu-
able cargo of Levant produce.
We learn by the same arrival that Salee,a Morocco
seaport, having refused the reparation demanded by
France, was bombarded on the 26th November, dur-
ing seven and a-half hours. It is stated that seven
men were killed on board the admiral's ship, and
many wounded. The loss of life amongst the
Moors was very great. Having committed this
devastation the fleet bore up for Cadiz. An account
from the signal station at Gibraltar mentions that
the French fleet cast anchor in Tangier Bay on the
29th ult., and was about to bombard that place. Her
Majesty's ship Janus had been despatched to Tangier
for the protection of British interest.

DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL
AND Slit GEORGE GREY ON THE MANCHE&
TER AND SALFORD EDUCATION SCHEME.

Yesterday Lord John Russell had an interview at
his official residence in llowoing-street, by appointment,
with a deputation from Manchester and Salford, consisting
of Mr. W. Entwisle, the Rev. Canon Clifton, Mr. Oliver
Ileywood, Mr. John Peel, Mr. Samuel Fletcher, and the
Rev. Mr. Osborn, a Wesleyan Minister, on the subject of
the bill intended to be brought under the consideration of
parliament in the ensuing session, for carrying into effect
the system of education popularly known as the Manches-
ter and Salford scheme. In the course of the interview,
Lord J4lin Russell despatched a messenger to the Ilorae-
office, to request the attendance of Sir George Grey, and
the right hon. gentleman entered the room towards the
close of the proceedings.
Mr. ENTWISLE, addressing Lord John Russell, said
the gentlemen composing the deputation, had been desired
by the Manchester and Salford Education Committee,
to attend before his lordship, with the view of
laying before him the position at which they
had arrived is Manchester on the subject of the educa-
tional movement, which his lordship was aware was creating
considerable discussion and attention. They represented
several distinct bodies who had sent representatives to that
committee, and they were desirous of inducing gentlemen
connected with all the religious parties in that committee
to form part of the deputation ; but the men of Manchester
were generally engaged in business, and as their attendance
was not felt necessary, inasmuch as the terms on which
they proposed to unite together for the purpose of pro-
moting education were agreed upon, they were content to
leave the expression of their wishes and feelings on the
subject in the hands of the deputation. His lordship was
aware that the subject of education, more particularly
during the last year, was much mooted in Manchester, and
there had been a growing opinion there in favour of •
general rate upon property for the purpose of promoting
education. At Christmas last it became evident to a num-
ber of gentlement connected with different religious bodies
in that city, that that opinion was growing with great
rapidity, and that it was necessary for them, if they in-
tended to retain their position as connected with the edu-
cational establishments there, to make an effort to see if
they could not unite and agree on some terms upon which
an educational rate should be finally determined, and, if it
seemed good, to adopt measures for the purpose of extend-
ing the quantity and improving the quality of education, in
which all might partake upon fair and equal terms. They
were the more convinced that some such steps were
necessary from the apprehensions they entertained of
the adoption of some entirely new system of educe-
lion, which might possibly end in destroying or rendering
unnecessary all the labour and money which they had ex-
!tended on their various establishments, and in taking the
instruction of their pupils already.taught by them out of
their bands. With the view of taking steps to meet the
emergency, a number of gentlemen, of whom he was one, met
together last Christmas, in Manchester, and after discussing
the terms of union, they finally adopted a scheme, which
was afterwards submitted to a numerous meeting convened
in the Town-ball of that city. That meeting remitted it to a
committee to adjust the terms on which such a scheme
should be based. The committee so appointed continued
their deliberations until February last, when they made a
report containing the terms on which an association, for
carrying out the object they had in view, should be formed,
and with respect to which terms they were unanimously
"greed among themselves. With the permission of his lordship
he would describe the principles embodied in that report,
and in accordance with which their bill was sow drawn.
Their design, in the first instance, as take for granted,
es settled and agreed upon by the legislature, all that had
been already settled by the Committee of Council on Edu-
cation. Wherever the constitution and character of any
class of schools bad bees already understood and recog-
nised by the Committee of the Privy Council representing
the views of the government, and were permitted by the
annual vote of the House of Commons to participate in the
sum voted for the purposes of education, the promoters of
the bill thought they should adopt such schools as already
made to their bead, and allow them ipso facto to be ad-
mitted, it Melodic, to &share in the benefits of the rate.
Bat whe~ib3ulL.a existed, ea they did in some quarters, to
