the troops which are on guard in front of the
Ministry of the Interior, and shouting for liberty
and the constitution. A squadron of cavalry has
been moving round and round to keep the space
open, but the people exhibited no doubt of their
friendly intentions, and it has just marched off
amid loud and enthusiastic acclamations. The
pimple regard the contest as over, and the insur-
etion as successful. Their enthusiasm is beyond
bowels. Men are dancing and throwing up their
hats like• maniacs, some even bugging and kissing
ach otlur in the square.

TWIBLVE cecioes
It appears that it was by the personal direction
of ((entrap Concha that the cavalry left the Puerta
di I Sol. The general himself has just appeared at
one of the windows of the Ministry of the Interior,
and ant aaux•rtaining that his orders had been
with, waved his hat, and cried, Viva
for liberty and the people :" I need hardly say
that this action on his part greatly incruased the
poi ulur enthusiasm, and that the general was
nieet enthusiastically cheered. Not long afterwards
the re was an unfortunate cvntretemps which might
have caused most serious consequences. It weals
that some one struck or roughly jostled an offitor
who was standing in the Puerta del Sol, where-
upon the latter drew his revolver and fired ; not,
I fancy, however, wounding his assailant.
One of the earliest proclamations of the present
Captain-General, issued in contemplation of p,n-
Bible disturbances, informed the people that on the
firing of a gun they must all retire to their houses,
asj till persons who were afterwards found in
the titres to would be treated as enemies of the
Queen. When, therefore, the report of the pistol
was heard the idea seemed at once to strike
the popular mind that the general was
meditating treachery; that '• the gun " hail been
fired, and that the troops would be upon them
immediately. There was at once a tremendous
rush to all the avenues leading out of the square,
and not a few persons tumbled down in their
haste to escape the anticipated danger. Fortu-
nately the circumstance was speedily explained,
aid confidence was restored. The officer who was
guilty of this hasty and imprudent act was some-
what roughly handled by the crowd ; but he has
feraid shelter in a neighbouring house.
riting in a great hurry, and in the midst of
the most lively excitement, it is impossible for me
coot to attempt any adequate description of the
charge which has come over Madrid within the last
hour. Although I have necessarily written under
gnat reserve, you must have gathered from my
previous letters that for some days we have been
his jug here in a state of the most intense anxiety.
Over and over again have I been informed of the
night, and often even of the hour, at which the
uteri° were to rise; and this information has
generally been accompanied by an assurance that
the government would not yield readily to the
popular will, and that the most sanguinary con-
flict might be anticipated between the people awl the
gendarmerie. Even this morning, only an hour or
two ago, our minds were a prey to the gloomiest
anticipations. That the royal army had sustained
what must be regarded as a signal defeat we knew,
but no one could predict what would be the
idiect of this intelligence upon the people and the
government. That it would greatly encourage
the friends of the insurrectionary cause, who may,
I fancy, be said to include the whole people of
Madrid, was certain ; that it would lead to an im-
mediate rising on their part was most probable.
But how would the government act i That was
the difficulty. Under these circumstances doubt
and uncertainty were in every mind, and
were to be discerned on every countenance.
Now everything is entirely changed. There is no
limit to the exultation of the people. The city is
already ea fife; cheers, vivas, and ,the clapping of
hands resound on every side. The fronts of the
houses are being rapidly dressed with many tinted
draperies, among which the red and yellow stripes,
the national colours of Spain, are frequently re-
peated. In some instances the inhabitants have
not been content with merely decorating their
houses. Already they are obliterating any
insignia which are associated with the - late"
royal family. In front of the Cafe• Universolle, in
the Calle de Meals, there are two shields bearing
the royal arms. A few minutes ago a cry was
raised for their removal, but the popular demand
was for the moment satisfied by their being
covered with black cloth. Now, however, they
are being thrown into the street, and the populace
are trampling on the fragments. Even as I write
the bells of all the churches are breaking into peals
of joy. The clouds which obscured the sky earlier
in the day have entirely cleared away, and the
brightness of the sunshine adds to the joyfulness
of the people. and increases the effect of their
impromptu decorations.

1 P.M.

The excitement increases every moment, and
the gratulation of the people ut the escape from
cis il contention, and the triumph of the popular
muse, bcoome heartier and more general every
instant. Already processions are moving about
the streets carrying rod and yellow banners
Ltaa:ng such ins...ciptiosui as "Down w:«► the

Bourbons ; hurrah (viva) for liberty !" and
" Death to Robbers." If any one had enter-
tained any doubt as to the feelings of the
people of Madrid with reference to the struggle,
which I trust I am not over sanguine in treating
as entirely over, the manifestations of the last
hour must have entirely removed them. The
change which has come over the city since the
announcement of the good news this morning
has been more like the transformation scene in a
pantomime than anything else to which I can
liken it. The demons of doubt and suspicion, of
hatred and revenge, have been exorcised, and
every countenance is illumined with eatisfaction,
exultation, and joy. The people at pre-
sent have the town entirely to themselves.
Neither police nor soldiery are to be seen ;
a few soldiers are walking about, and are every-
where fraternising with the people; but the
warmest plaudits of the mob are reserved for
officers of the navy and marines. All the shops
are closed. I fancy the shutters were originally
put up as a matter of precaution, but they now
remain in their places, because it would be absurd
to expect any one to buy or sell, or to perform
any kind of work on such an afternoon as this.
This closing, not only of the shops, but of all
j. laces of business, of course grettly adds
to the number of people in the street,
end the crowds are coust.intly increasing.
Their lehaviour up to the present mo-
ms nt has been admirable. There has been
nothing like violence or ill-temper, except in the
matter of the royal arms. In fact, the people
seem too completely tilled with joy to quarrel with
any one ; and I am not sure that there is not some
truth in a remark which I heard just now, that if
Gonzales Bravo himself were here he would escape
with a good hissing. It is reported that General
Prim will arrive from Carthagena, which pro-
nounced for the insurgents yesterday, and
Marshal Serrano from Cordova this after-
noon ; but I doubt whether they will get
here quite so soon as that. I hear that as soon as

COLIIPION BETWEEN A LIVERPOOL Tt7.IBOAT

and Noah Western ;Railway Company's steamer
Duke of Sutherland left Dublin on Thursday evening at
7.20 p.m., and pteeeeded on her voyage safely witil she
reached the extreme end of the Holyhead Breakwater,
about 1.40 a.m. on Friday. Just at that in extent the
Livepoel tugboat Fury was about to proceed to sea, and
bad already Assented to the extreme end of the break-
water. It is reported that the captaM of the Fury kid been
cautioned not to steam at great speed in going out the
harbour, and to be cautious in doubling the paint, as one
of the railway boats was being expected at that hour
to enter the harbour. It is said the tugboat
was going at full speed when the Duke of
Sutherland came into collision. ()wing to the height of
the breakwater, and that of the Duke ot Sutherluid, the
lights on the trig-boat were altogether obscured. The tug-
boat ran into the Duke of Sutherland amidships before
she could alter her course, breaking the sponson to atoms,
mid doing considerable damage to the paddle-box. The
passengers were greatly terrified at the colheion, it being
at the time dark, excepting moonlight. Fortunately only
three of the passengers were hurt, being thrown against
the ship, and receiving contusions about the legs and
body. Medical officers wet o soon in attendartes, and with
their advice the possengem pros:weeded on their journey to
