SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 22nd state that some
members of the Carlist party were clandestinely
circulating in Spain the last proclamation of Don
Juan, and also other documents, in which " the
ministers are calumniated, and the Queen is in.
sulied." The semi-official Correspondancia declares
" false, absolutely false," a report which was cur-
rent that the government had made propositions to
the Carlists in the hope of winning them over to
the constitutional party. Some journals having
declared that the government will never recognise
Victor Emmanuel as King of Italy, and others
having, on the contrary, affirmed that it is prepared
to do so forthwith, the Epoca states that the truth
is that no decision has yet been come to on the
subject, and that the Cabinet will " not separate
its policy in the question from that which the great
Powers of Europe may think right to follow."
Some of the inhabitants of Parma, a* place near

nations. This table brings oat statistically the fact that all
the religious denominations, except the church of England
sod the Roman catholic*, show greater interest and activity
in the establishment of Sunday schools than in the establish.
meat of week-day schools. It would seem that in their opinion
the Sunday school is more potent than the week-day school
in attaching the young to their respective congregation.. For
example, the church of England, which has 76.2 per cent.
of the week-day scholars educated by the religious bodies,
has only 45* of the Sunday scholars ; the Roman catho.
lies, who have 5.52 per cent. of the week-day scholar,, have
only 1:5 of the Sunday scholars. With these figures we
may contrast the following :—The Wesleyan body (nl,l con•
nexion) has only 3'91 of the week-day scholars (being the
fourth iu numerical order with respect to week-day schools),
hint it has 19.0 per cent. of the Sunday scholar,. Apia,
the congregational body (i.e. the body of independents)
has only 21 per cent. of the week-day scholars.
but 11'2 of the Sunday scholars. Again, the
baptists have only 1 of the weekday echoing,
but they have 6'7 per cent. of the Sunday
scholars. The primitive methodists have 'O9 only
of the weekday scholars taught by the different
religious bodies, but they have 51 per cent. of the Sunday
scholars. The methodist new connexion body has only '1
of the weekday scholars, but 22 per cent of the Sunday
scholars. The united methodist free churches have only
1:111 of the weekday cholera, but as many as 2* per cent
of the Sunday scholars. There is a very considerable in.
mean in the number of scholars on the registers of the
Sunday schools belonging to the primitive methodists.
When Mr. Horace Mann tabulated the returns from their
schools he found the number of scholars to be 98,294. The
more recent returns made to the Education Commission
show that in the primitive methodists' Sunday schools there
are 136,929 scholars. In 1851 the unitarian week-day schools
contained 4,306 scholars; the returns tabulated by Mr. John
Flint, registrar of the commiesion, thew a totaI4.CISS

The Climaxes, in the usual terms, moved lie adop-

a feeling of greater satisfaction. In former re-
ports they bad dealt more with promises than
with performiumes, but on this occasion they had to
state that ono al the original sod principal undertakings of
the compeay was now ready for traffic. (Cheers.)
The railway would do away with 200 miles of navigation on
the lades, sad rave lodise traffic front many of the dangers
of the sea. By nazi year the greatestsegineeriag work in the
world—the ascension of the f hauts—would have been moan-
plished, and there would then be a complete and continuous
line from Bombay to the uplands of the Doman. The
attentiou of English manufacturers had of late been directed
to India as a sours of supple for textile fabrics ; and in
this pole% of view the tkinde Railway was of the utmost
importance. The • ion of Sir Barth From, long ago

retina The ecMde Railway was 114 miles in

10,u0la. a mile. The additional eagle' which had been
subscribed would be expended on extra works, such as steam
ferries, bridges, wharves, end other things not included in the
original estimate. At some future time the hoard would
ads for poems to raise • sufficient sum to enable them
to complete the undertaking. As regarded the lades steam
scam., he remarked that the capital already raised for it
was 250,0001., that being the utmost amount for which the
govenroent would eveseut to give a guarantee. It was, how-
ever, insufficient for the purpose, and hence the directors
proposed to increase it by the issue of debentures. He added
that no further call would be made during the present year.
