THE &FAMISH REVOLT.

The insurrection in Spain has been expected, the
Daily News remark', by intelligent observers from the
day that the Progreseista party determined to withdraw
from constitutional action, bat at present we have no know.
ledge of the complexion and aims of the movement, or of
its means of names. The time has gone by when English-
' men held that in every insurrection the presumption was
in favour of the insurgents. In this cue the presumption
is certainly against the party which obstinately declined to
show itself at the polling-booths, preferricg to bring about
an insurrection. We can only hope that the outbreak will
speedily come to an end without much bloodshed, and that,
whichever party may "rip, Spain will be the freer and
better governed for its action.
The Post Seel much vagueness sad incoherence in the
statements of the Spanish government concerning its
success in suppressing the revolt, and thinks the ultimate
issue of the insurrection is uncertain. Revolutions com-
menced with one object very often ead with • result
totally different. The surroundings of the Queen are the
aversion of bee people. The favourites by whom she Is
beset may be the immediate objects of attack in • rebel-
lion, which should it be successful, might not stop short
when its original ends are accomplished.
While the Advertiser hesitates to express any confident
opinion as to the issue of the rising there is one point on
which it feels it may speak with the full conviction that the
result will verify what it says. The "trunk will not be •
pretreated one. The conflict between the insurrectionists
and the government will be both sharp and short If the
rising is destined to be put down at all, it will be put down
immediately. O'Donnell will bring all his resources to
bear on it with • view to its instant suppression. He has
not been taken by surprise. He was well warned of its ap-
proach ; and being thus prepared fer what has occurred, he
will at least attempt to deal in ► high-handed manner with
the rebels and the rebellion. We expect, therefore, to
hear some decisive intelligence before many days have
elapsed.

The Star is sincerely sorry that General Prim, who had
approved himself • man of high honour snd no little
capacity, should with a too characteristic nehmen/ have
flung himself into a movement which seems to have been
so vague and purposeless. and have had no foundation
beyond personal discontent—no aim beyond the possible
triumph of the more headlong section of • party. There is,
however, one consolation for them who hays always felt
rather favourably disposed towards General Prim. If he
escape the consequences of his present attempt, there is no
reason whatever why, with better luck next time, he may
not be Prime Minister this day six menthe.

The subjoined report on the metal market is
from the circular of Messrs. von Dadelmen and
North :
We are at last ahle to report a more animated business
in some branches of the metal market here, with a slight
advance in price, sad the general opinion is gaining
ground that by the turn of the year the improvement will
make further progress. The iron trade is depressed.
Iron.—No alteration has taken place in the position of
Welsh bars or rails. When the wages question is settled,
the trade will be able to form a better opinion as to the
future course of the market. Pending the quarterly meet-
ing of the ironmestent in Staffordshire, there is but little
doing. Prices of finished iron are weak. An ofilekal
decline of 255. per ton is anticipated. There is but bids
doing. Copper. —We have to notice a decided improve-
ment and considerable business both in English and
foreign copper. The former nearly realises smelters'

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES PREVENTION ACT,
1866.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and
the Secretary of State for War have appointed Dr. Peter
Leonard to be inspector of certified hospital' under
the above-mentioned act. Notice is also
given, that
William H. Sloggett, Frq., staff surgeon, R.N., appointed
visiting surgeon under the provisions of the Contagious
Diseases Act of 1866, notice of whose appointment appeared
in the Gazette of the 2nd of this month, has been appointed
visiting surgeon at Plymouth and Devonport, and not

THE DISTRACTED ALMANACH DE GOTHA.—There
is consternation in the editorial room at Gotha. The
Almanach for 1867 was almost ready to be launched forth
into the world, when, lo ! like the simoom, Prussia sweeps
over the north of Germany, and kings and princes are car-
ried
away by the blast like so many reeds ; even the stal-
wart tree of Austria has lost many of its branches, blown
away by the storm, though the stem still steeds firm on
its deep-set roots. The hurricane has lulled ; the treaty of
Prague calms for a time the troubled elements; diplomacy
has done its work ! But it is a much easier task to sign a
treaty and exchange ratifications than to re-write a tom-
pendlum like the Almanach de Gotha. . . The whole
German Confederation is extinguished, and Frankfort, the
seat of the Diet, annexed ; consequently the 32 states, in-
cluding the Hanse Towns, must be struck out of the
Almanach, and the North German Confederation above
the Maine inserted instead. As regards the embryo
Confederation of the Southern States, all is chaos. Then
Austria has lost Venetia, Denmark has lost the Duchies,
and, worst of all, no one knows whether the few remain-
ing ninepins will not be bowled down by the strong arm of
a Bismark or of a Napoleon ! . . . . It is easier to
shoot a lion with a single bullet than to extirminate •
nest of wasps. Saxony is not yet annexed, and may
remain intact in the Almanach of 1867 ; but Hanover,
Nassau, Hesse Cassel, Darmstadt, and others, must all
have • pen struck through them, and be added to Prowls.
Prussia is like the devil-fish described by Victor Huge in
his " Travailleur de la Mer." It holds m ib strangling
grip all the petty princes of Germany. We are in Octobee;
' the continental arrangements are by no means settled, and
the Alumna& must appear on the first of January ! We
have good reason for saying again that conzternan pre-
, rails in the editor's room at Gotha.—Dickens's AU th•

EXITING IN LONDON.--)lltußsosy Arm:loos.

The chief feature in the Cambridgeshire betting to-day
was the sudden and marked advance of Moldavia, who in
the course of the messing was backed to win some thou-
sands. At one period as little as 10 to 1 was taken in
three bets of 1,600 to 100, but subsequently 11 to 1 and 12
to 1 was laid, and at the close 100 to 8 was offered. Pro-
serpine was, beyond doubt, first favourite, 10 to 1 being
taken freely, and in the end asked for in vain, whereas
the same odds, after being laid to a small amount against
Cheprtow, went begging. Scarborough and Abergeldie
receded a few points, but, although 20 to 1 was laid against
Actse.:, the odds were accepted kindly by.recognised judges.
Neither Dalesmen nor Tomahawk were in such request as
they were yesterday, and the same may be said of Xi,

PRUSSIA.

The semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening says :—" Certain journals have published
a statement that the British Ambassador in this
city, during a recent conversation with Herr von
Thiele, the Prussian Under-Secretary of State, had
either demanded that the private fortune of King
George of Hanover should be given up to him, or
protested against its sequestration by the Prussian
government. With regard to this intelligence we
are enabled to declare that the British minister,
on the occasion in question, confined himself
to asking what course the Prussian government
intended to pursue relative to the private fortune
of King George, and that his remarks by no means
partook of the nature of a demand."
The statement published by the New German
Gazette, that Prussia had despatched an ultimatum
to the government of the Netherlands relative to
Luxembourg, is a complete invention.

It is semi-officially announced that the relations
which subsist between Prussia and the Netherlands
are of the most friendly character.

Cnotr.it t IN LIVERPOOL.—At a meeting of the
Liverpool Health Committee, yesterday, some discussion
took place on the present condition of the health of the
borough, in the course of which Mr. Robinson strongly
condemned the apathy with which the corporation officials
had treated the elistence of cholera in the town. He stated
that iu London, when the Lord Mayor called for assist-
ance, a Sum Of Upwards of 20,00 e/. was immediately sup-
plied for the relief of the convalescent cholera patients,
while in Dublin similar measures were adopted. In Liver-
Pool, however, nothing of the kind had been doer, awl
the patients who had recovered from attacks of cholera
were dependent either upon the assistance rendered by the
parish authorities or on private benevolence. In
London, also, a fund had been provided for smiling
convalescents to the sea side, while in Liverpool the poor
people, after leaving the hospitals, were compelled to seek
shelter in the pestilential streets and courts from which
they had been previously taken away. Nothing whatever
had been done by the corporation to relieve these distressed
people. Attention was also drawn to the fact, that while
in 1849 the epidemic came on slowly, it decreased very
rapidly, whereas in the present year the cholera increased
rapidly and continued to decrease very slowly. Dr. French,
, the medical officer of health, stated that he could not then
account for the difference between the two periods of 1849
I and 1866, but he had no doubt that if the records were in-
vestigated it would be found that there was some meteoro-
, logical phenomena connected with the increase and de-
crease of cholera. . .

CATTLE PLAGrE RETURNS. —The latest cattle re-
turn shnws that 11 attacks were reported to have occurred
during the week ending Oct. 13, being a decrease of 21 on
the previous return. Fresh outbreaks took place in 3 farms
or places where cattle are kept, the number of such out-
breaks in the previous week being 11. The number of
healthy cattle slaughtered, to prevent the disease extend-
ing to them, was 3 during the week. The disease is re-
ported to have prevailed during the week in the following
five petty sessional divisions of England, viz.:—(Essex)
South Hinckford, 5 attacks; (Soruersetahire) Yeovil, 2;
(Warwickshire) Warwick, 1 ; (Cheshire) Macclesfield or
Prestbury, 1 ; (Lancashire) Amonndeniess, 2. Since the
commencement of the disease 51 in every 1,000 of the
estimated ordinary stock of cattle in Great Britain are re-
turned as having been attacked. The total number of
sheep reported to have been attacked op to the date of this
return is 6,826. No cases have been reported during the
week. Note.—Two inspectors, who returned cases last
week, have not reported in time for this return, via, for
the county of Chester, 1i• %ad Stafford, 1. These inspectors
reported $$ awe bat week.

MB. BRIGHT AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

The Times continues to draw a distinction between the
arguments of Mr. Bright in what are now characterised as
his infiammatory speeches at Glasgow, and those which
may be fairly advanced in favour of reform. A larger fran-
chi,e will satisfy the self-respect and the political aspira-
tions of a class who feel that they have risen to the due
level of intelligence to obtain it, and it will strengthen
the constitution, which will then stand on a broader basis.
In the distribntien of seats it is a just complaint also that
the small borougba are too many ; bat these arguments are
wholly independent of the character of the present House
of Commons, and their force would not be weakened if it
were shown that se • legislative machine the present
house is perfect. The Tines then proceeds to con-
tend that the House of Commons reflects faithfully and
rapidly the public opinion of the country, and that its
faults as well se its merits are those of the nation
at large. As to the land question which Mr.
Bright spoke of, the land of England in many
counties is becoming a sort of pleasure-ground for
those who are accumulating wealth in the great towns,
and if it were divided to-morrow among all the adult
males who dwell upon it, the process of agglomeration
would begin again in a week. It is not the duty of the
legislature to resist what is evidently an inevitable ten-
dency of our social state.
The Herald uses strong expressions in dealing with Mr.
Bright. We read of his " infamously personal attack
Lord Derby, his "fecund power of calumny ;" and we are
told that when he resumes his career of mischievous ac-
tivity at Dublin, in the very centre of sedition and disaf-
fection, the natural fruits of whig misrule, he will find
himself perfectly at home.
It is complained by the Post that Mr. Bright he not
merely monotonous himself, but he is also the cause of
monotony in others, for, as he persists in parroting the
same fallacies and misstatements, there is no alternative
but to continue repeating the logical and historical refu-
tation of them.
The Star asks what the conservative class propose to do.
Numbers have power as well as wealth. Were the eighty-
four out of every hundred grown men in the kingdom who
have no votes to make a vow that they would do no work
until they were made politically free the whole edifice of
this country's wealth and prosperity would be shaken to
its base. Were they to subject themselves to the priva-
tion even of some of the luxuries which they now enjoy,
they could blast the revenue of the country, and make the
work of government impossible. Notwithstanding these
considerations the Star has no hope whatever of the tory
party se a whole, or of such leaders as Lords Cranborne
and Joha Manners have shown themselves to be, acting
wisely in regard to the great issue before the country. By
the very conditions of its existence the tory party is ene
of obstruction.

DRIVING C.11T1.1! THROUCII THE grrxrrs.

Mr. T. lit:DgiN, the chairman of the markets committee,
brought up a report reconimending that the committee
should be a!:thori,..l to confer with her Majesty's govern-
ment, and 1111.0 with tho Lords of the Privy Council. as to
the course to be pursued with reference to the .hiving of
cattle through the streets of the metropolis. He said he
believed that it was the intention of the government td
intro lice an act of parliament upon the subject, and as it
was possible that the interests of the corporation might
be atfected thereby, it would be as well that the markets
committee should be empowered to confer with the go-
vernment upon the .übject.
The motion was agreed to, and the court shortly after-
wards adjourned.

WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE.

Last night the annual general meeting of the
tnembers aced friends of this useful institution was held at
the college in Great Ormond-street, Bloomsbury ; the Rev.
F. D. Maurice ILA., the principal, occupying the chair.
After the distribution of some certificates of competency
amongst graduates of the college who had recently under-
gone an examination by the council, the rev. principal pro-
ceeded to deliver the inaugural address, reminding his
hearers that they were about to enter upon the twelfth
year of the college's existence. The object of its
founder was not merely to educate working men in
moral, social, and theological mbjects, but to
direct their attention also to physical studied
and he rejoiced to find that three of the certificates he ti
just distributed were for proficiency in chemistry. It
bem said that mechanics' institutes partook too much of
the character of places of luxury and amassment. That
objection, however, could not apply to this institution,
because it now directed special attention to the physical
sciences, and its members were instructed in geolocr,
botany, and zoology, which had induced them to take
great delight hi country excursions. It was the desire of
the council that the members should discover that parti,
cular study for which they were best fitted, end by odium
ing to that rule social intercourse would be moo
and the members would be enabled to learn somuiel&t
from each other. In this way also the benefits resulting
from education would be made to extend over the
satire working class, and therefore he hoped it would
never be forgotten that the great aim of the
conductors of the college was to promote fellowship amongst
men. Mr. Buokmaater, of the Kensington Museum, gave
an explanation of the provision there made by the govern-
ment to ea e the study of the physitel mimosa Lest
year 9,000 candidates submitted themselves for examina-
tion, and of that number 7,000 received assistance in the
shape of tome-Bin expenses, as belonging to the indus-
trial claims. Xr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., oongratttlated
the students upon the growing popularity of the college,
and remarked that it had gone far to solve
the problem of national education. That education
should always have religion for its basis, and be
directed to the promotion of human fellowship, which he
believed was secured by the training pursued in this col-
lege. The programme for the ensuing year was then ad-
verted to by some of the profeseors and the Rev. H. Folly,
and in the course of the discussion that ensued it was
stated that some plan must shortly be devised for obtain-
ing a supply of new teachers independently of those. wlso
might conic from the universities. It would very like
be proposed to found a system of fellowships, to be open
to the more successful students attached to this and kin-
dred institutions. The meeting, which, notwithstan
the unfavourable state of the weather, was numerous
i
attended, closed with a vote of thanks to the principal an
executive of the college.
