SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 15th state that in the
sitting of the Senate on the previous day, the com-
mittee on the affair of General Narvaez, not being
able to come to a unanimous resolution, presented
three reports. In one, signed by M. Arrozols, M.
Pena Aguayo, the Duke de Rivas, and the Count de
Lawns, the right of senators was declared to be
superior to the power of the government, and it con-
sequently demanded that the interdiction under
which General Narvaez is labouring should cease;
the second, signed by the Marquis de la Pozuela and
General Sanz, placed the power of the government
above the tight of the senator, and proposed to de-
clare that there was no ground to deliberate on the
case in question ; the third, signed by Gen. Cordova
alone, taking a middle term between thb two, pro-
posed to declare the right of Gen. Narvaez to return
to his place in the Senate, provided the service of her
Majesty and the State should not suffer in the exe-
cution of the military commission confided to him.
After the reports had been read, General Serrano
asked the government to produce papers relative to
a conflict between the Captain General of New Cu-
tille and General Narvaez, as they had a certain
bearing on the question ; but the Minister of War
refused. It was believed that the Senate would re-
ject the two former propositions and adopt the last
one, it not being doubted that the government
would declare that the public service required the
general to execute his mission before returning to the
Senate. Bat, on the other hand, it was said that
the government would bring in a bill for clearly de-
fining the duties and obligations of the superior
officers of the army who are Senators.

The Bund states that the last Austrian note reca-
pitulates all the events that occurred in Ticino since
1848. It asserted various facts, the falsehood of
which had been proved and acknowledged, as for
instance, the presence of Elea in the canton at the
period of the revolt at Milan, the printing in Ticino
of the proclamation, circulated through Lombardy,
the assemblage of refugees, and the conveyance of
gunpowder across the St. Oothard, mentioned by the
Schwyts Gazette. The note also complained of the
expulsion of the Capuchins and the
.suppression of
the ecclesiastical seminaries of Poleggio and Aecona,
and intimated that the blockade should only cease
when Austria should have obtained full satisfaction.

The Federal Commissary in Ticino and the In-
structing Judge, M. Dube, proceeded to the print-
ing-office at Capolagi, where they commenced a
minute inquiry, in order to ascertain if the procla-
mations of Mazzini had been printed there. They
acquired positive proof that those proclamations had
not been set in type in that establishment.
On the 18th, another report of the Federal Com-
missary,=oll the measures he had taken in
Ticino, Berne. The Commissary declared
that the government of the canton had acted through-
out in the most legal manner, and had not encou-
raged the sedition.

THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT BRIGHTON.

BRIGHTON, Matta( 22.
The only fresh evidence adduced last night after
the dep..tute of the lott train, arcs.: from the examination
of (bate of the workmen on the railway, who spoke to the
viol. nee of the explosion, and the collection of the fragments
al the Loa* of the three deceased.
_ . . .

1 Jury rttircd for two hours and then returned into
nun with a verdict :

••4 Fintly, on the body of John Young, the engine
driver, that his death wss caused by hie own reel.less eon.
duet. In piecing a higher pressure on the engine than it was
6tted to bear ; . .

,
Secondly, as to John Elliott, that, by such Tackler
conduct, Young did kill and slay him ; and
Thirdly, that, in the same manner, Young did kill and
slay Richard Thomas Baker."
lhe Coroner added that the jury also drew up a paper,
and signed it, in the following terms:
"The jury now sitting upon the bodies of John Young,
John Elliott, and Richard James Baker, the peewee unfor-
tunately bided at the Brighton terminus on the 17th day of
March instant, unanim.usly recommend that in future a
mord frequent and rigid examination be made of the loco-
mohee engines ; and that the directors be requested to take
into consideration, whether an improved system cannot be
alopted of instructions to the drivers. And the jury hope
that the time is not far distant when the safety valves may
be placed beyond the undue control of the driven."
The bKlies of the three deceased have been interred
side by side in the new extramural cemetery, on the Lewes-
road, near the cavalry barracks. Four thousand persons
witnessed the ceremony.

ELEMENTARY DRAWING A BRANCH OF

NATIONAL EDUCATION.

A circular has recently been issued from the Com-
mittee of Council on Education to the authorities of the
several training schools under inspection, calling their at-
tention to the steps which have been taken towards cage-
' exiling local means of instruction in drawing as part of ele-
mentary education. The circular proceeds to state that-
" It has occurred to my lords of the education com-
mittee, and to their lordships of the Board of Trade,
that the various training schools for masters and mistresses
which are under inspection are the points at which the
most effectual impetus can be given to the promotion of
the object in view. My lords have felt cure that the autho-
rities of the institutions in question appreciate the im-
portance of this object, and will not have been slow
to avail themselves of the means already rat their disposal
for obtaining supplies of apparatus, and the services of com-
petent instructors." And an intention is announced of
causing an inspection to teas place into the system of
drawing which may be pursued in the training schools.
The circular goes on to say : " My lords would contemplate
it as one of the results to follow in time from this step, that
evidence of a certain proficiency in drawing should be
afforded by each student on account of whose examination the
training sehool receives a grant, and their lordships would ex-
pest each training school, desirous of receiving Queen's
scholars, to make adequiite provision for imparting this
branch of instruction. In like manner my lords might,
sooner or later, regard it as improper to sanction the sp.
prentieeehip of pupil teachers to masters or mistresses who
had neglected to profit by the means now about to be made
generally available for squiring • practical knowledge
of elementary drawing. You will observe, that
elementary drawing is mentioned both in the
minutes of 1846, and in the earliest document explanatory
of them, as one of tho subjects in which an apprentice
ought to be instructed, and as one of the attainments to be
expected in a certificated teacher. My lords would, how-
ever, be most careful not to enforce any requirements of
this nature until ample time had been allowed for making
the necessary provision to meet them. They desire, how-
ever, emphatically to reeord their opinion that the power of
accurately delineating the forms of objects ought no longer
to be regarded as an accomplishment only, or the result
of some rare natural aptitude, but as an essential part of
education."

This circular was issued before the late change of
ministry, but there can be no doubt that the intention will
be fully carried out under the present government.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVININO. -
Instead of being brought up, as was expected, :-
before the magistrates to-day on the new charge, is
the convict Kirwan was removed from Kilmainham tnt.
prison, on his way to Spike Island. The order for ;
his removal had been issued some days since, and the is
day fixed for the purpose, and the Lord Chief Jas- rt.
tire, when applied to, refused to countermand
the order for transmission. Hence, as a
charge of murder cannot be investigated in the
absence of the supposed culprit, it will be necessary
to have Kirwan brought back from Spike Island as
soon as the information that can be obtained on the

subject shall have been tendered complete, and the A.
public investigation that was to have taken place
to-day has been postponed until that shall have been a
the case.

INCENDIARY FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.

NEWPORT PAGNEL, Jaw. 10.
During the last week the quiet town of Olney,
gear here, has been in a state of terror by repeated auss-
cious attempts to destroy the place by fire. The fiendish
work was begun on Christmas-eve, by firing a large barley
stack on the extensive homestead of Mr. IL Whitmore, ad-
joining the village, bet the timely arrival of assistance
prevented the flames extending beyond the stack, which
was destroyed. The next night, at the same hour, another
farm, tenanted by Miss Raban, adjacent to the village, was
fired, and considerable mischief occurred. On New Year'lr
eve, again, a large barn and other premises, of Mr. Joeeph
Palmer, situate in the centre of the village, were fired.
Here a shocking scene presented itself. Amidst the flames
were to be seen nine fat bullocks chained to the rack. To
save them was impossible, and after writhing in agony
for several minutes, they fell, and were burned to
death. A number of sheep and pigs shared a similar
fate, the whole of the premises being consumed
The nest night (Sunday) an attempt was made to set lire to
the town, by thrusting lighted lucifers and paper under the
thatched roof of the houses. It was fortunately very early
discovered and suppressed ere any material damage was
done. This diabolical act led to much commotion. Watchers
were appointed to the neighbouring farms and other build-
ings in the place, and every means adopted to detect the
villains, but in vain, for on the following night
the centre of the town was fired. The destruction that fol-
lowed was very extensive, and unhappily caused the death
of two men. When discovered the fire was raging in some
thatched buildings at the back of the houses in the main
street. It extended to the premises of Mr. Killingworth
(watchmaker) and those of Mr. Soul, jun., Mr. Saul, Miss
Brooks, Mr. John Field, Mr. John Lembray, the Duke of
York Inn, and numerous cottages tenanted by poor labour-
- ing families, nearly the whole of which were destroyed.
In consequence of several persons being missed, the ruins
ML HATTER AND THE BALLOT.—We observe were searched. Beneath were found the remains of Wil-

COLLISIONS ON A SINGLE LINE OF RAIL.

TO TEE EDITOR OF TUE DAILY NEVI'S.

SIR,-1 think that collisions on railways might be
prevented by a very simple contrivance ; tlait is, when it
ts absolutely necessary that only one line of rails can be
used, that it should be imperative on the part of even• rail-
way company to provide a man to ride ou the train when it
was on the single line of rails, and that no train whatever
should be allowed on the single line without him ; so that it
would be impossible for one train to run into another, at
least in front, and cause sueh a lamentable lon of life as
has been tie case at Ozford.—l am, Bte.,

FRANCE.

PARIS, SONDAY Evrante.
A paragraph, originally appearing in the broil,
and which has since gone the round of the French
and English papers, stated that an Englishman callins
himself Cavendish, now an inmate of a French pn-
eon, had committed a vast number of frauds in dif-
ferent parts of Europe, had been known by a great
many aliases, and had married four wives, who were
all simultaneously confronted with him in prison,
when he had tie audacity to deny having ever seen
them before. An English lady, now in Paris, who
claims to be the only person to whom the prisoner
was ever married, asserts that the greater part of the
story told by the Droll is pure fiction. She has re-
quired that journal, as well as those that reproduced
the article, to insert the following letter; with which
requisition they have thought fit to comply :

Paris, Jan. 4, 1853.
Sir,—ln your number of the Droit of December 31, you
have published an article in which, regardless of the situa-
tion of a man who is at the moment in prison, and cannot
yet defend himself, you have made most serious and de-
grading accusations against my husband, Mr. henry Ca-
vendish. It is difficult for me, sir, to repress the feelings
which such an article has excited in me, and you will give
me credit for not qualifying it u severely as I might do,
when justice has not yet intervened, and when my husband
has not yet been called before a judge of instruction, who
would let him know of what he is accused. My husband
has been kept au &a re! for three weeks. lie has not been
allowed to receive me or his advocate, and I may well in-
quire by what right you can give an account of confrontings
which, according to you, have occurred in the prison.
It wtrelong, sir, to explain how it happens that my hus-
band is now subjected to a fresh accusation. I will not
even, to refute the accusation which your journal had
taken upon itself to prefer against him, anticipate the ex-
planations which he is anxious to give to a justice. All
that I will say here is, that I protest, in the name of my
husband, against all the details that you give about the se-
cret investigation which you pretend to have taken place.
You have thought fit to introduce my name into your tale,
and by so doing you have given me the right to send you
this letter. All that you have said concerning me is com-
pletely false. From that fact the truth of the other allega-
tions of your article may be judged of. I request, and if ne-
cessary, I require you to insert this letter in your next num-
ber, while reserving, as I do, all the rights of my husband
sad myself with respect to the publication of the article
complained of.—l have the honour, etc., ELLEN Cava*.

MONDAY Evsittito.
There has been o good bnsiness in the market for
mining shares to-day, which remains very firm. The
inquiries are chiefly for United Mines, Alfred Con-
sols, Gorn, North Damsel, and Alten shares. The
prices realised to-day are as follows:—West Cara-
don, 2221, 225; South Tolgns, 200, 2021; Goginan
(new), 12 prem. ; Cern Bruno, 921; Kilbricken, 61;

41; Herodsfoot, 51, 1; Gorn, 165.; Vale of Towy,
11 ; Mendip Hills, 71; Clive, 4 15-16; Nanteos, 11.
Sales rather preponderated in the Gold Mining
share market, but prices were not greatly affected,
and Agua Fries slightly improved. After the regu-
lar hours, however, more flatness was observable,
and quotations generally ruled lower. Colonial
Gold have declined to 3t prem.

THIS DAY.—Two o'Ctocx.

The gold mining share market is generally firmly
supported to-day, but there is a pause in business,
, the preliminary arrangements for the settling begin-
, ning to engage attention. Port Philips have receded
to 2,1- prem.

the bill met with opposition from a quarter from which they
could not have anticipated it, yet your directors confidently

'aided. The London and Brighton Railway Company
have executed an agreement with the But Grinstead Com-
pany, under their oommon seal, whereby such a traffic

own cost the has absolutely at the sum of 60,0001. on the
expiration of tau years ; but that such sale shall be entirely
optional with this company at any earlier period, if the
Brighton Company should wish such earlier purchase. The
land purchases are proceeding as rapidly as they can be
effected, and in all case, where purchases have been mule,
satisfactory terms have been concluded with the owners,
and the line hu been set out, and the works will be com-
menced at the earliest practicable opportunity."
Numerous questions arose upon points of doubt, but they
were all answered within the strict letter of the terms of
the report, which was unanimously adopted.
The formal business of the meeting was then proceeded
with, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the directs and chairman.

abundant. Pears consist of Beurre d'Amanlis, Bon Chet,-

Marie Louise. Importations from the Continent of Potatoes
and Tomatoes are still kept up ; the latter fetch from 2s.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the Ist contains a royal
decree uniting in one administration the departments
of the direct and indirect taxes, under the title of
"General Direction of Taxes." M. Pablo de Cifuc-
rites, president of the commission for winding up
the affairs of the credits of the Treasury which are in
arrear, is placed at the head of this new department.
The adjudication of the works to be executed on the
railway from Socuellanos to Ciudad Real, took place
on Sept 30. Only two tenders were sent in : one
from M. Antonio Alvarez, and the other from M. de
Salamanca, who had arri-ed the night before from
Paris. This latter having ptoposed a diminution of
250,000 reals per league or the sum fixed by the
Minister of Ptiblic Virorks—that is to say, 2,350,000
reals in place of 2,600,000—was declared to have ob-
tained the execution of the works.

Paris letters state that a corps of 18,000 men is
being organised in the towns of the south of France,

occupation of Rome, should such a course seem ne-

The Milan Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a sen.
tence pronounced by the court-martial of that city,
oondeming a cheesemonger, named Ale, aged 47,1
having a wife and six children, to death, for having
kept a musket, a pistol, and some cartridges in a
concealed place : and a peasant, aged 64, having
also a wife and six children, to the same punishment
for secreting a pistol. These punishments have
been commuted by Marshal Radetzsky, for the
former, into two years' hard labour in irons, and for
the latter into three months of military arrest. The
same paper of the Ist contains further sentences upon
three persons. One of these has been condemned to
four years' hard labour in irons for haring arms in
his possession, and another to six months' military
arrest for high treason of the second degree. The
third has been provisionally set at liberty for want
of sufficient evidence.

in human pro,ress—mr aspirations for human

Peace Conrerenee, with all its details of the evils of

Our fathers thought and felt so ; and we are
not apt to class these persuasions among the " fears
of the brave and follies of the wise." As much
reason as our ALFRED had to summon his people to
repel the " lord Danes," as much reason as our gland-'
fathers had to lino our coasts opposite Boulogne,
pile up their beacon fires, and keep their powder
dry, have we, and all Western Europe, to keep watch
that the " %n does not make his way to the Medi-

ITALY.

The intelligence which reaches us from Austria,
Italy, Naples, and the Papal States is made up of
lists of political arrests, sentences, and punishments.
The Official Gazette of Milan publishes a judg-
ment against 64 persons convicted of high treason
in the insurrceion of the Gth of February. The
sentence of death pronounced against twenty of these
persons has been commuted to 20 years' imprison-
ment in a fortress. The other 44 are condemned to
different periods of hard labour and other punish-
ments.

A letter from Naples, of the 28th ult., states that
22 persons, amongst whom is the cx•Minister Rug-
gieri, have been condemned to death by default, for
participation in the events of the 15th May, 1848 ;
and that 15 other accused have been condemned to
hard labour, and three others to banishment for the
same affair. Thirty others were tried, but acquitted.

ASTLEY'S.

Oa • Saturday evening a new style of entertain-
ment wss presented at this theatre in the shape of as
equestrian burlesque, described in the bills as a classical,
mythological. rhythmical. and very original spectacular
extravaganza, entitled Jupiter's beeves and the Fall of
Pao, to,; ur, the Four Fiery Vitriers of 1h Sun The idea
of conibitiiog the atwiardities and anachronisms of burlesque
with the ordinary feats of stage borsemanship, is, we be-
liever a novelly, sod offers a ready and t ffective means of
catenne td the somewhat vitiated taste of the day ; but at
the same time it mast be doubted whether any infringe-
mint upon the good old school of melodrama, which has
always been identified with the fortunes of this esta-
blishment,i is likely to attain the desired popularity.
The subject of the entertainment, of course, admitted of
the display of very effective ceedumes and sossery, and
near, perhaps. were so many of the bases sad
hennaed of mythology brought together es Is this
piece. The Classical Dictionary has been searebed
with such perseverance that all the pods and god.
deltas, besides fairies. satyrs, &Madre, nymphs. dryades,
°reader, etc., have attracted the author's wake, and if they
are wit all introduce d in'o the dramatis persona there are
dew if say that he smite to meads& It camel be said that
there is any plot in the peer, bet the incident of Phaeton's
fall from heaven is used as a vehicle for the ropreeentatios
of some very effective scenes; and the descent of
the her.. upon earth, followed as it was by. that of Man
Jupiter, Juno, and all the other mythological celebrities,
afforded as opportunity for a combination of the celestial
and terrestrial, which was productive of some easement.

....
The eab grievance atd the camp at Chobbam were also
resorted to as subisets fur mirth. The piece was weal put
•pun the steer, and the actors performed their parts with
s ilveres of spirit which woo for them repeated appbsues.
At the full of the Curtain ererybooy was called forward,
and the author. Mr. Suter, in announciog the barksque for
repetition, swad that there had been some imperfecdensis
the scenic elfccts, owing to the illness of the principal
machinist, but that he had no doubt that in future the
piece " would go smoothly and pleasantly."
London, England, 1853-09-12

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The probability that the Czar will admit Reschid
Pasha's modifications of the Vienna note is daily
diminishir g. Private communications from St.
Petersburg state that M. Meyendorics telegraphic
announcement, dated Vienna, August 26, informing
his imperial master that the Ottoman minister had
presumed to alter the note which had been accepted
on the part of Russia, at first astounded and then
enraged the Emperor. _This despatch gave only the
tenor of the alterations made at Constantinople; the
text of the note, with now or substituted clauses
only reached St. Petersburg on the 3rd instant.
Our correspondents agree in the conviction that the
character of the Czar's reply to the new proposals
will almost entirely depend on his judgment concern-
ing the heartiness of the Western powers in the
cause of the Porte. No sacrifice of amour propre in
the interest of Europe and peace is to be expected, no
consideration even for Austria and its Emperor. The
Czar refuses to believe that the Porte will venture to
wage war single handed, and in this belief he is
encouraged by nearly every person admitted to his
confidence. He sees in the last act of the Porte the
will to assert, and at once exercise that independence
which is the real prize of the long-drawn contest,
and which is of far grater moment than
the formal construction of any diplomatic note.
To admit thus practically the sovereign action of the
Sultan, to allow him to decide upon the note which
he is required to sign, would be, it is said, to forego
all the advantages which Russia has gained by
occupying the prancilitlities, and to contradict that
traditional policy which may be said to be a part of
the constitution of the Muscovite empire. Such, we
are assured, are the considgifations at present at St. ,
Petersburg. Whether they will be counterbalanced '
by others drawn from the apprehended opposition of
Franco and England, or the progressive decimation
of his soldiers in the principalities, a very few days
I may probably show. It is not improbable that the
despatches communicating the Cur's acceptance or
rejection of the modifications were sent off from St.
Petersburg on Saturday last to the Courts of London,
Vienna, and Paris, as on that day the ordinary
packet boat would leave the Russian capital. The
boat would arrive at Stettin in ordinary course to-
morrow. The employment of expresses and the
telegraph may, however, disarrange this calculation,
and place us earlier in possession of the expected in-
telligence.
Tne Brussels ladependance, which has steadily
supported the Russian cause, and prophesied (or it
when it could do nothing better, now undertakes to
announce that "at the cabinet council held last week
in Downing-street, it was resolved to abandon the
Porte should it persist in its resistance." The Rus-
sian writer grows quite hopeful in the prospect of the
Sultan's isolation, deriding the idea that the Turk
will fight unaided.
