SPAIN

The latest despatch we have received, is dated
Madrid, July 29. From this we learn that all the
provinces are tranquil, Saragossa excepted. It is
thought that the majority in the city will be dis-
posed to capitulate. The resistance of some chiefs
only is anticipated. Generals Echagues and
Dulce are before Saragossa, and reinforcements are
arriving from all sides

The government had superseded in their func-
tions all the employees of the administration at
Saragossa, Teruel, Jaen, and other points, which
had declared against the Queen.
Count Villar, Commander of the Artillery, and
one of the Deputies who signed the manifestation
against the new Cabinet, had been placed on the
retired list

The brother of the bullfighter, Pucheta, and a
nailor, who shot a captain of the army on the
square of La Cebada, during the insurrection, have
been arrested in Madrid.

M. Narciso de la Escosura, brother of the ex-
Minister of the Interior, had likewise been arrested.

The number of civilians and National Guards
killed during the collision at Madrid was 69.
M. Marfori left by the Bayonne mail on the 24th
with the reply of the Government to the offers of
service of Marshal Naruaez. The Moderadoes were
indignant at his being ordered to remain in Paris.
General Prim, Count de Deus, had arrived at
Madrid

The Madrid Militia was not to be re-organised.
The Municipality and Provincial Deputation of
Cadiz had been dissolved.

THE SOUND DUES

According to a correspondent of the Hanoverian
Gazette, the negotiations touching the Sound Dues
have taken a turn which leads to the hope of see-
ing this affair shortly settled. With the exception
of England, all the powers have given their vote,
and pronounced favourably for the principle of
redemption. It is probable (says the journal just
mentioned) that the fresh propositions, based on
this principle, will shortly bring about an arrange-
ment, although some difficulties of detail may
arise, especially in determining the amount of
capital for redeeming the dues in question

O
ITALY

The Arnicnia, of Turin, states that the police
have just discovered a large quantity of arms and
ammunition concealed in a house at Novara. The
occupant of the house has made his escape across
the frontier.

On the 22nd the remainder of the prisoners who
had been taken to Mantua were brought back to
Parma to stand their trial. The same paper adds
that one of the prisoners, a Dr. Fanti, had lost his
reason in consequence of the treatment which ho
had received in prison, and for three months,
while in a state of delirium, he was obliged to lie
on the bare ground in his prison, the Austrian
surgeon obstinately declaring that his illness was
feigned.

The Opinione of Turin announces that several
influential persons at Florence are collecting sub-
scriptions for a sword of honour to be presented to
General della Marmora. _ _

Baron Hubner, the Austrian ambassador to the
Court of Paris, arrived at Venice on the 23rd, from
Trieste. _

A letter from Parma, of the 23rd, says that the
Austrians on the frontier of Lombardy are making
preparations for crossing the Po at four different
points, namely at Viadana, Solarolo, Casalmaggiore,
and another place.
The Rome and Frascati railway trains have
stopped running, the line being found unsafe.

THEATRE ROYAL.—Sir William Don, a Scottish
who has adopted the stage as a appearedproression
at t
h
s
theatre in the character of Tom Ripslone, in the new comedy
of the " Evil Genin,-," which he sustained with a manly
tonhommie, nicely savoured with humorous expression.
He after wards appeared in the drama of "The Toodles,"
the exact meaning of which piece yet remains to be dis-
covered. However, the character of Mr. Toodies is replete
with fun, and in the hands of Sir William Don, kept up
continued amusement. There was a slight tendency
to exaggerlite, but, on the whole, the acting of the
illustrious barcliet was replete with genuine humour,
comically conceived, dressed and expressed. 'We
would say of Sir Williana. Don's general ability, as
an actor, that if he trusts more to his own innate
humour and delineative poweri, than to his recollections of
other actors, and would a little subdue his exuberence of
fun, which tends to over-acting, he may t:lke a position, as
a comedian, which will bear the severest criticism, and his
performances would always yield an extraordinary degree
of pleasure to his auditors. He is, we are informed, about
to appear at the flaymarket. We regret to add that the
performances of Sir William have been interrupted by severe
indisposition, as notified by placards attached to the
entrances of the theatre on Tuesday evening.
