DRUNKENNESS and ignorance are the two gene

rally admitted sources of crime in this country.
Education will, in time, overcome the latter, but
_er, we fear, is beyond the reach of the
schoolmaster. It would be quite impossible to
estimate the cost the public are put to in police
rates, building, repairing and maintaining prisons
and penal settlements for the criminali who
commence their career in drunkenness, without
embarking in a most laborious task. We are,
therefore, driven to take up the credit side of the

derived from intoxicating drinks. This will give
us a pretty accurate idea of the exhaustion which

de for other and better purposes. The
total is rather alarming, as will be seen when we
add them up:—

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE SPANISH INSURRECTION

In the absence of more authentic intelligence,
we give to our readers the latest news supplied by
the telegraph, and accordingly we now record our
latest despatches :
MADRID, JULY 16 (EVENING).
At eight o'clock this morning, the insurrection
was overcome on all points. General Concha
obtained possession of the Toledo gate. As some
of the insurgents still held the Plaza Sevalda,
measures were taken to attack them. The various
bodies of the lower orders were commanded by
Pucheta.

At ten o'clock the last remains of the insurgents
dispersed throughout the city were annihilated.

Pueheta was killed.
Twelve pieces of artillery were in position in the
Plaza Sevalda.

The Queen visited the wounded. Happily the
victims were not very numerous.

The government has been admirably supported.
The disarming of the National Guard is actively
carried on.

The thoroughfare is re-established
All is tranquil in the provinces, except at Sara
gossa.

MADRID, JULY 17.
To-day order is completely re-established at
Madrid.

The Queen, accompanied by the King and by
Marshal O'Donnell, has just reviewed the garrison.
The troops and the people received their Majesties
and the Marshal with enthusiasm.

To-morrow will take place the solemn burial of
the soldiers who have died gloriously in defending
the throne and order.

The twelve pieces of cannon posted on the Plaza
Sevalda belonged to the insurgents. They were
captured by the royal troops after some hours of
fighting.

A private telegraphic despatch announces that
not only Saragossa but all Arragon is in insurrec-
tion—all Arragon, troops and people. By all
Arragon is, I suppose, meant the larger towns
that have followed in the wake of Saragossa, with
their respective garrisons. We have no details so
far as I can ascerttin, but the main fact, if correct,
or even approaching correctness, is most impor-
tant. Of Barcelona we know nothing. No
despatch as yet announces her rising, but it is
not difficult to say what effect will be produced
on her people, troops, and National Guards by
the news from Madrid of the success of
the coup d'etat, if coup d'etat it has been. That
we have as yet no news from Barcelona is not
extraordinary. From Madrid to that place there
is no electric, nor indeed any telegraph, and from
Barcelona the telegraph does not extend beyond
Mataro, a distance of 13 or 14 miles ; but from
Mataro to the French frontier there is none
The news of the success of O'Donnell will, there-
fore, be a long time reaching Barcelona. Should
Barcelona unite with Saragossa the example will
probably be followed by other places, and then
it would be very doubtful that O'Donnell could
maintain his position, though he is in posses-
sion of the capital, and the Queen is now there.
It would seem that the present affair is little more
than a repition of 1843. That a conspiracy has been
carried on by one or two members of the Cabinet
against the Liberal party, and that the Queen now
as then was a party to it. Her Majesty has acted
with her usual cleverness—she always affected to
hate O'Donnell and to love Espartero, and the
latter, whose character, whatever other be his
faults, is guileless, has once more fallen the victim
of traitors. Yet it was not from want of warning,
often and often repeated. Espartero some months
ago received detailed information of what was
plotting betwen the Queen, the King, and O'Don-
nell. He refused to believe in so much baseness.

Our latest intelligence is from Paris, dated last
night. We are informed that no later intelligence
has reach the Parisian capital from Madrid.
The Patrie, however, states, that the movement
at Saragossa is confirmed, and that General Falcon,
who was formerly aide de-camp to Espartero, is iu
possession of the place_

- It is asserted that he has made an annunciamento
which has received the concurrence of the inhabi •
tants.

According, however, to private intelligence, we
are informed that General Falcon is not followed
by the majority of the troops, who, on the
contrary, had retired to the heights which
command the Saragossa.
. _

A further despatch from the Captain General of
Catalonia, dated the 17th inst, states that tran-
quility prevailed in that principality.

TURKEY

Advices from Vienna dated the 17th instant,
inform us that according to an official commune.
tion, Prince Balso has been nominated Raunakan
for Moldavia, and Prince Alexandra for Wallachia.
The despatch mentions that the instalia,tion of
both will take place forthwith,

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING

The telegraph will have made kno to you that,
after closing my letter last night, a despatch
arrived from Madrid, announcing that the insur
rection had been crushed, that the government had
nominated a new municipality, and had declared
the whole of Spain in a state of siege. Subsequent
despatches added that several newspapers had been
suppressed, and several changes made amongst
the authorities of the capital ; also that there were
no news of Espartero, and that it was rumoured
that an insurrection had broken out at Saragossa.
The despatches which have reached the govern•
anent to-day confirm the news of the suppression
of the insurrection, and gave some few details of
the conflict, from which it appears, that in the
Place Cibbado, not fewer than twelve pieces of
cannon were captured from the insurgents, and
that in the Calle de Toledo, a celebrated torreador,
Pucheceta by name, distinguished in various
revolutions, was killed. The loss of the royal troops
is stated to be rather severe, but no mention is
made of that of the insurgents. The Queen,
yesterday, visited the wounded in the hos-
pitals. Although, however, the insurrection
has been quelled in the capital, insurrections at
Barcelona, Saragossa, and indeed all over Spain
were expected. The last despatches say nothing
of Espartero, and people here are at a loss to
guess whether he has gone quietly to his country
seat at Logrono, or to Saragossa to head an
insurrection there. It appears that in the course
of the insurrection at Madrid, about forty deputies
of the Cortes assembled, but that they were
dispersed by the armed force.
The rumours current in Paris to day as to the
state of Spain are very alarming, but as nothing
can be known beyonn the telegraphic despatches
which have reached the government, and of which
what precedes is a -summary, it is not necessary
to detail them.

The Itioniteur confirms officially to day a piece
of news NViliCh I sent you some days back—
namely, the nomination of General Count Kisse-
leff, Minister cf Domains, as Russian Ambassador
to the French Court.

I am told that news has reached the government
that an English transport, the Spartan, was
recently lost off the coast of Tunis, but that her
passengers and crew, 150 in number, were picked
up by a French vessel, and carried into Tunis,
where they were most kindly treated by the Bey.
It is very possible, however, that there is some
mistake in the name of the vessel"
The Spanish Government has decided that the
free import of wheat and flour should be allowed
for six months.
P.S.—I find that I have omitted to mention that
reports were current yesterday of sanguinary con-
flicts having taken place between different regi-
ments of the garrison of Versailles. There was,
it appears, a conflict between some soldiers in
which blood was shed, but it was of no political
consequence. It was caused by rivalry between a
carbiuecr and grenadier regiments.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--FniDAY.

--- -
The LORD CH.-..NCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Duke of ARGYLL (in reply to Lord Dungarvon)
said that negotiations were now pending between the
Government and certain navigation companies for a more
rapid communication between Holyhead and Queens-
town.

The Drainage (Ireland) Advances Bill was withdrawn,
and the orcler for the second reading discharged.

THE CRIMEAN MILITARY COMMISION

The Earl of LUCAN complained of the delay in the pro-
duction of the report of the Crimean enquiry, which he
attributed to a wish, on the part of the Government, to
shirk the matter till after the prorogation.
Lord PANMURE said the report was already printed,
but that ministers had not yet decided what advice
should be offered to her Majesty upon it. A determina-
tion would be arrived at, and the document:presented by
Friday next.
The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill was read a
third time and passed, as was also the Parochial Schools
(Scotland) Bill.
The other bills on the table were advanced a stage, and
the House rose at eight o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after one o'clock,

INCONI

AND LAND TAXES BILL

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (lit reply to Sir
H. Willoughby and Mr. Spooner) explained that, by the
operation of the second clause of the bill, the salaries of
the income tax collectors would he greatly reduced.
Mr. MAcKINNoN observed that the land tax at present
produced ,e" 1,400,000 a year. Now, he thought some
scheme could be devised by which it could be redeemed
at 25 years' purchase, and the capital realised, amounting
• .

to X 24,000,000, might go to the reduction of the National
Debt, and so relieve the general public. Perhaps, next
sesgion, there would be no objection to a committee on the
subject.

The bill was then read a third time and passed

The Stamp Duties Bill, the Racehorses' Duty hill, the
Coast Guard Service Bill, the Corrupt Practices Preven-
tion Bill. the General Board of Health Continuance Bill,
the Militia Pay Bill, the Cursit it Baron of the Ex-
chequer Bill, the Lunatic Asylums Act Amendment
Bill, and the Marriage Law (Scotland) Amendment Bill,
were severally read a third time and passed.

MERCANIILE LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

This bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered to
be read a third time on Monday.

[This was all the business on the paper for the morning
sitting ; but the SPEAKER remained in attendance until
half-past three, in order to attend the bar at that hour to
hear the royal assent given by commission to several
public and private bills.]
The sitting was suspended at two o'clock.

•
Shortly after six o'clock the SPEAKER resumed the
chair.

NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

In answer to a question put by Mr. A. P ELL ATT,

Mr. PEEL replied that it was intended that the men
holding the appointment of sergeants should receive the
good conduct pay of which they were in receipt before pro-
motion. There were, however, a great many difficulties in
the way of carrying out the arrangement, and the matter
required much consideration.

LAND TRANSPORT CORPS

In answer to Mr. NI. CHAMBERS,
_ _

Mr. PEEL said the Land Transport Corps received
bounty on their enlistment like soldiers in the army, and
would, therefo e, not be entitled on their discharge to the
gratuity which was given to the army working corps.

MR. JAMES SADLEIR,

Mr. ROEBUCK asked the Attorney-General for Ireland,
whether he intended to propose any amendment of the
criminal law to meet the defects pointed out by him in
relation t.) the Tipperary Bank case ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was his intention,"early
next session, to introduce a full and complete measure to
punish all fraudulent appropriation of the property of
others.

CRIMINAL LAW BILL.

Sir G. GREY (in reply to Mr. Hadfield) said it was not
his intention to proceed with the Criminal Appropriation
of Trust Property Bill in the present session.

THE FOREIGN LEGION

Mr. PEEL, in answer to an hon. member, said he had
received an account of the affray between the Foreign
Legion and some of the British Legions at Aldershott.
He could not say how long the Foreign Legion would
remain at Aldershott.

On the motio❑ that the House, at its rising, adjourn
till Monday next.

Colonel *GILPIN asked what were tte intentions of the
Government with regard to the foreign troops, and recom-
mended and early disbandment.

Sir DE LACY EVANS asked what might be the inten-
tions of the Government as to the requital of the army
chaplains in the field, as to the promised gratuity and
bounty of the militia, and the disbanding of the foreign
troops. He also wished, to know what was the cost of
the foreign troops, as it was believed to be a very large
amount.

Lord PALMERSTON protested against repeated enquiries
as to the intentions of the Government, believing that the
executive was responsible for their actions, and were not
bound to take the House of Commons into Council. He
had, therefore, only to state that he hoped the disposal of
the Foreign Legion would be found to be consistent both
with law and propriety. (A laugh.)
Mr. ROEBUCK remarked that when they asked what
the Government were about to do, they were said to be
too early ; and when they asked what had been done,
they were said to be too late.
