MALI L gnome= having at Net bees per-
twitted to dissolve the Cortes of Spain, the fate of
his Waist meet seem be dallied. Were the Mar-
shal not a man to be depended on, a good deal
might be said in favour of the principles and
policy 'emaciated in the manifesto which hisOovern-
mint has issued on the occasion of the dissolution.
It has the merits, rare in Spanish documents, of
being temperate, prudent, frank, and intelligible.
It aims at the creation of a third party in the poll-
tin of Spain, which, standing on the foundation of
the Constitution of IMO (not beaus, it is in itself
unimproveable, but as a point of departure on which
the largest amount of unanimity can be secured),
will eater on a career of progressive Moderation, and
rely for supporton an union of memo at/rusted by this
middle line of policy from the existing AfeArrodo and
Proftresisra forces. It proposes to this party to pro-
ceed on 010111 favourable terms with the dimmer-
tisation of municipal property, sad so liberate hap
tracts of the best land in Bpaia hoes the mischievous
effects of fecidality ; mad it will also renew the We
of ealesiastical property, if it can procure from the
Holy See an alteration permitting such sale in the
Concordat, which expressly forbids it. And in
language at least, the (YDeatent.d. Cabinet profanes
a desire to respect the freedom of election.
The homely saying that " Fine words butter no
4. parsnips," seems correctly to describe the feeling
with7which this manifesto has been received by
all eXisting political organisations. Both Mode-
redoes and Progresistas treat Marshal O'Doa-
sett as a deserter, who has no higher passion
than personal ambition, no object but to keep
himself in power either by delusion or force. Never
was the inconvenience of a peat bad character or
the value of good repute better seen. For, in the
existing condition of Spain, an honest and able
paste-milieu policy, if not the beat that could be
pursued, is certainly the one that admits of the best
chance of success. But a large majority of Spaniards
either h►te, fear, or despise Marshal O'Doaaxtt ;
whereas each a policy as his can only have one
basis—confidence in the integrity, loyalty, good
faith, sad rapacity of those who propose it to the
nation. Seek confidenoe O'llormat.t and him
colleagues do not inspire. When he has mean-
Med the SOW Cartes, placed, as he will be, be-
tween the two fires of ?halts= and of OLOZAO/1, it
is difficult to see how the Cabinet of O'Dounatt
eon long survive the remorseless battering to which
it will be exposed. Such a position as that
the Marshal proposes to occupy, requires immense
parliamentary skill, exquisitely good temper, the
most conciliatory manners, as well se undoubted
political capacity, and a superabundance of good
measure, to occupy and divert attention from
the weak points of the Administration. In almost
all those requisites CYDoun ELL is singularly deficient.
Hie personal defects cannot fail, indeed, seriously to
aggravate his poNtical difficulties io the Cortes.

Marshal O'lloYmtu. has, it is believed, the best
wishes of the French Court for his success ; and
although it is not an avowed principle of the Imperial
policy to take any active part in the affairs of Spain,
the Tuileries necessarily, from its oonnexions, has
considerable infinenoe in Madrid. A sense of security
disinclines the EMPEROR either to promote actively
the intermits of the extreme retrograde party
of Spanish polities, or to do aught that would
assist the admission of the Liberals to power. The
EMPERDI loves a strong Government, but he has the
sense to know that anlese strength is in these days
accompanied by high intelligence and substantial
material benefits, its tendencies are to degenerate
into a stupid, senseless, selfish despotism, very dan-
gerous to its friends. Lorin NaroL►ON oaa there-
bee have no wig to see the system of the Neapo-
litan BOURDON{ trsaderred to Madrid. Apprehen-
sive of the stisehieh to himself which would arise
from the freedom that would follow a restoration of
the Liberals to odioe. he very satarally wishes well
to a Minister, be he NAavAaz or O'Dowiritu., who
will endeavour to keep the Court in some order, and
sot be afraid of resorting to military merinos if
the muse of order" seems to require it.

THE Government School of Mines and Applied
Science, in ssaamins with the Museum of Prateical
Geology in 'mega-street, sommenceil its eighth
'maim to-day. Many of our readers probably pass
this building every day, and have some general
notion of its objects and working, both as a mecum
and a school. Several, no doubt, have at some time
or other stepped inside and reed along its well-
arranged galleries the graphic history they contain
of the surface, 000stitation, and productions of theme
Islands—their geological treasures and mineral
wealth. Some may know that the Museum is not
only an admirable instrument for collecting mining
records and cooducting pologioal surreys, but an
active School of Practical Chemistry, ?rusticla

however, .!re aware that it is at the sate

now the fact. Coors's of lectures are delivered
weekly during the maim to large classes of fond
