on ndocing the number of officers of the army ; there

MADRID, Aran 27.
The Heraklo of to-day ealls the attention of its
readers to a railroad, which is to put the canal of
Coitale in direct commanicatiou with Santander. The
deputies for the province of Camille trust to be able
to carry the scheme through by means of the co-
operation of the provincial deputations and the govern-
ment. The firm of Remiss sad Co. bad obtained the
exclusive privilege of making the rood long since, and
a clever engineer had surveyed the ground, drawn up
plans, &c., and calculated the atxpenses of the first
branch, which will connect Mar del Rey and Airiness,
a distance of about 91 lowan. The expenses will be
as follows :

Capital to be invested for the lost bough 39,461,836
Ex penes. of ditto
Annual product
Cost of tits entire line 98,652,822
Probable product

The head of the firm, howyme, died, and his son
gave op the privilege. It is new thought of being
taken up, the plans and the beginehig of the works
being available. This whose may possibly be of
interest on your side of the water.
From Catalonia we haw that the Carnet chief
Clmbat de Ciinsona has bass taken' and that both he
and his orderly were immediately shot.
The stock market, which had a semblance of im-
proving, begins again to look gloomy, and the funds
to dwindle. A good number of bills drawn by the
government on their provincial treasurers have been
returned within a few days protested for non-pay-
ment.

9 o'Clock, p.m.—Since the clone of the Bourse, the
Three per Cents. have risen nearly 1 per cent.
Operations have been made at HZ for cash. This
rule m attributable to a despatch supposed to have been
received from Catalonia, containing intelligence. of an
action between the queen's troops and the Carhsts, in
which it is stated that the Tristanye were killed.

NAPLES.—Her majesty's frigate Thetis came into
Malta en the 23rd ult., from Leghorn and Palermo,
bringing the news that the King of Naples had re-
fused to listen to the Sicilian government until they
bad surrendered unconditionally. After that he would
tell them what he would do for them.

Baron Venda de la Cruz, extraordinary ambassador
from Portugal to the Kiag of Naples, presented his
credentials on the 21et

ROMAN STATES.—It appears that on the 24th
ult. notice bad been seat from arks Vecchia to
Rome, apprising the government of the approach of
the French force. Au answer was returned on the
25th, bearieg orders to defend Omits, to the last, and
announciog the despatch of all disposable troops to
assist, but it was too late. The French had landed.
The Roman government published nothing at Rome
up to the 22nd, to show what their reeolution would
be. The clubs had held a grand council on the 22nd,
in which a great central association was formed,
charged with the teak of imposing measures of public
safety on the government. Some scenes of disorder
are mentioned as having taken place in consequence
of the preponderance of these clubs.
The Opinion Fatigue (Paris paper) say.: "We
are soared that a telegraphic despatch has arrived,
a that th. 7.000 grouch temps who had
Laded that
Vecchia were on their march to Rome,
and that the Roman Assembly had declared the
Preach army hors de la ioi." Thu wants confirmation.
The president of the province of Livita Vecchia
addressed the following despatch to General Oudinot
on the 24th nit. :
