SPAIN AND MEXICO.

"Whilst everything tends in Europe to draw
closer governments and states, the Spanish govern-
ment,' remarks the Nord, " persists in maintain-
ing itself in haughty isolation, and in continuing
on its own account its preparations against
Mexico. The ministry, says our Madrid corre-
spondent, wishes to produce an impression on pub-
lic opinion, and to occupy it for a time so as to be
able without risk to evacuate Tetuan. The squad-
ron destined to convey the troops of embarkation is
to consist of 14 vessels, six of them screw frigates,
and is to sail towards the end of the month."

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, 21st, says :

Great activity at present prevail; in the port of Cron-
stadt. A squadron, composed of corvettes, clippers, and
other small vesals, is being fitted out to sail for the Ru.
sian colonies in the Pacific, under the orders of Rear-Ad-
miral Popov, one of the malt brilliant heroes of Sebastopol.
The Ilia-Mourometa, a frigate, which formed part of the
squadron sent to Syria, has within the last few days arrived
in the roadstead ; she accomplished the voyage from Bey.
rout to Croestailt in less than two mouths, without any
grave accident. No official report having been waived for
a long time of the frigate tivetlana, Captain lioutakov,
which ought to have arrival from the Pacific, disquietude
is felt about liar. The last date at which she was heard of
was the :kith .Tune. A fine new frigate, the Dmitri Donskoi.
was launched three days hack in the New Admiralty dock-
yard. She is built of oak, on the model of the Grand Ad-
mind, one of the largest f4ttes constructed in the United
Suites, and which was greedy admired by the English and
French sailors at Beyrout. The length of the new vessel is
270 feet, and her breadth M feet. lu about a fortnight or
three weeks navigation may be considered as closed, as the
thick fop which lire then sure to prevail will render access
to the Dull of Finland more difficult than ever.

BELGIUM.

The Echo du Partement of Brumele says :

We have beard a piece of news which will be received
with satisfaction throughout the whole country. It is stated
positively that the King of Holland will oome and pay a
visit to the Kind of the Belgians. The interview of the
two sovereign, will take place in a provincial town, which
is not yet definitely decided on, but, which, it is thought,
will be Li6ge. This fact, should it be realised, will put the
last seal on the friendly relations of the two governments
and of the two nations. and wi!l be equally approved of on
both sides of the Aloenlyk.

ITALY.

TURIN, Ocr. 7.
There is continual talk of dissensions in the
council of ministers. These reports are duly denied
in official quarters, but are as pertinaciously repro-
duced. The Perste yen biza of Milan, whose con-
nexion with the late Minister of the Interior is
well known, alludes to them to-day, and goes so
far as to say that a dissolution of parliament is ou
the cards, because M. Iticasoli fears to find a
majority against him. This much is most posi-
tively stated—that every proposition of General
Cialdiui is regularly met by two opposing voices in
the ministerial council.

The ministry having called upon all absent
bishops to return to their diucoics, under pain of
sequestration, the Bishop of Parma has just come
back. But the fear of a popular demonstration
against him was MO great that it was thought neces-
sary to have him escorted by a body of cars-
biuiers, and a guard of twenty men was stationed
at his palace.

Yesterday Mr. H. S. Maine and Mr. Beaks held
• court at the London Coffee-honas, Ludgate-hill, for the
reviaion of the electoral lists for the various parishes and
places within the City of London.
A second court was held by Mr. &ales. Mr. Smith's agent

James Garlickhythe ; fit. John the Baptist, Walbrook ;
St. John Zachery ; St. Katherine Cree Church ; Si,
Lawrence I'ouutney ; and St. Lawrence Jewry.
The whole of these lists were gone through, and the
alterations made in them were mostly changes of residence.
No point of the slightest importance, however, arose in deal-
ing with them
The whole of the conservative objections were withdrawn,
the effect of which may be judged by the pariah of St.
Lawrence, Poultry, which was a fair ample of the whole,
where there were '.4.4 electors, and 19 objections by Mr.
Codes, all of which failed.

HAYMARKET.

The tragedy of King Richard M. WAR performed
at this theatre yesterday evening, in the presence of a
numerous audience. Mr. Edwin Booth played the Duke of
Gloucester ; and the cast included Mean. Howe, Chippen-
del*, Rogers, &c., with Mrs. Charles Young and
Miss M. Oliver. The play was received with applause, and
pared off with idol. After the tragedy came the come-
distil of P,/:.•m•dhc f Piturtaathe Hall, in which Mr.
Beekslose acted ; and the entertsiumenta concluded with
t►e fame of Ash Out of Water, in which Mr. Compton wet
as quaint and droll as ever.

The Al, ',hoot of Velum will be repeated to-morrow for
that night wily ; and on Thursday and Friday will be en-
acted Sir Ilelwer Lytton's play of keit/its, with Mr. E.
Duoth in the charade, of the Cardinal.

DRAMA.

DRURY-LANE.

After eight yearn of absence in America and Aus-
tralis. Mr. G. V. Brooke has returned to England, and re.ap-
peered lest night in °Mello. There are but few play-goers
• anythieg approaching to midilleage who will not re-
collect Mr. Brooke's first appearance in this character in the
early days of the peat-Vastris Olympic management; bow
with hi. fine person and touching voice ho took the town by
diem, aid how he elaborated certain merger which
rositindod enthuvimts of the palmy days of the elder
Kira, nor left the neophyte injured by the comparison.
Time, though it certainly has not " worn him into slo-
miry," has had its effect on Mr. Brooke ; his figure is more
portly, his voice much deeper and less meloilious, und
he has acquit..d a set traditional form of expression, a
thoroughly conventional intonation and mannerism, which
detract terribly from his personal advantages. There tr but
little to say of his performance, save that--uutoarked by
any now lights—it was eminently respectable, and that the
more loudly delivered passage+ had their duo effect on the
denizens of the closely-packed tallerie.. Of the manner in
which Mr. Brooke was supported it behove@ us to say as
little as pnmible. Few country theatres could furnish
either such bed acting or swat bad scenery as that put for-
went by " I ter Majesty's somata."

brought up from the bottom of the water, and when any

it ie assailed even in • single outpost, must be defended to
the death, then, even though the citadel of slaver, be not
assailed, but only an important outwork, then it is but
natural that the South should rise in its defence. But, of
course, in this u in all other revolutions, those who take
part in them must be judged finally by the moral verdict of
mankind upon the justice of the cause which they have
risen tosses& But whatever may be our private sympa-
thies, we, as • nation, must take no part whatever in the

be brought to a speedy end ; yet 1 confess that there i an-
other
wish which I think to our mind ought to stand even
before this one, and that is the wish that the end of this
war whenever it does come, be it soon or late, may be such

ATTEMPT TO MURREE AT MANCHESTER.

Yestordav morning a man named James Waring,
a tailor, was brought before the magistrates at Manchester,
charged with attempting to murder his wife, on Saturday
night, by shooting at her with a pistol. Ann Waring, the
wife, said that she had been married to the prisoner 15
ran, and they bad separated several times through his
habits of intoxication, violence, and neglec: to provide for
her and her child. About a fortnight ago be sold up the
household furniture, and they again agreed to live apart, she
working, and supporting herself and child out of her wags
from • cotton factory. Last Thursday evening she met the
prisoner near the mill in Pollard-street He had been
drinking. and he asked her to live with him again, and
threatened, because she would not, to have her life.
When she got borne to her lodgings she found him
sitting there. He asked her what he was to do, and she
told him to leave the town for a while, but he said ho would
not, and that if she would not live with him lin would take
her life, and she must abide the consequences of her refusal.
The next morning he again intercepted her on the way to
her work. He wax then sober, and again threatened to
take her life. She did not see him spin till Saturday night,
when he entered ber lodgings about 11 o'clock, and mid.
"Now, mark my *cods, the neat time you see me you
will not live five minutes, en help me God!" Charles and
Mary Ann Southgate, friends of hers, were present, and he
went away wishing them good night. He returned in bull
an hour to the door, and at his request, she went out
to him. Ho asked her if she would like to see
him die, and took • pistol from hie pocket
and premented it at her. She screamed and ran into the
I house, getting babied the door, and crouching down. He
followed, and holding the pistol within half a yard of her,
fired. She felt something bit the arm nearest to him, and
afterwards found the sleeve of her dress was scorched, and
that her arm was scorched. She then ran out and took
refuge in a neighbour's house.
Charles Southgete corroborated the last portion of the
wife's evidence' end said he and another man seised the
prisoner and took him to the lockups of the C division of
police, and gave him in custody to Sergeant Stewart. He
afterwards looked if he could find any bullet behind the
dour of the house, but could not. The house had in the
meantime been filled by neighbours and other people, who
bed rushed in immediately after the pistol had been fired,
and he could not say whether they bad removed anything.
Other witnesses were examined, who corroborated portions
of the above evidence.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Gazette of the 20th says :
It is not en agreeable °Moe to command a defeated army,
and it is still less pleasing to have the management of an
empty treasury and dilapidated finances. Our Finance
Minister is well aware of the fact. He was once a
favourite of the public, but is sow assailed on all aides.
His late report to the Chamber has completely changed his
poaiti.m. It is undeniable that the financial situation has
undergone a most unfavourable change since H. de
Meer became Minister of Finance ; but the fault
lies with those who direct the general policy.
and not with bim. The cause of the deficit is to be
found in the military budget and the diminished revenue
from Hungary. We owe these two results to those who
feared another war in Italy, when it was well known that
France was opposed to a war, and that the Italians would
Lever be able to attack us unaided, and who have listened
to the complaints of the Heicharath, promulgated the
diploma of 20th October, and thus caused the deplorable
situation of Hungary. If Austria had possessed an able
premier in October, 1880, sad a wise minister of foreign
affairs, she might have mud a large amount of money.
If this money has not been eared, it is not the fault of the
Minister of Finance, who was opposed to the diploma of
October.

under the date of the 14th :—" After the secret

to a bishop who asked him the result, We have
another quarter of an hour to live.' K de
Lavalette on his visit to Francis IL declared to
him that France could no longer tolerate, under
the protection of her flag, that they should oon-

France that the brigandage was occasioned by his

pretext, and that, consequently he was bound in

ROME, Ric. 23.
In a consiatory held this morning the Pope ex-
pressed to the cardinals his desire to proceed to the
canonisation of 23 martyrs who fell in Japan.
The Pope also announced that another consistory
would be held for the nomination of three arch-

Spaniards.

TURIN, Dec. 23.
An extraordinary sitting of the Senate was held
this evening for the discussion of the Budget.
In reply to the questions addressed to him by
some of the Senators,
Signor Baalogi gave an explanatory statement of
the Budget analogous to that which he has already
made to the Chamber of Deputies.
Signor Annul.° disputed the conclusions drawn
by the Minister, and stated that be believed the
deficit for 1862 would be greater than had been
estimated ; that the yield of the new taxes was
uncertain, and that no definite financial plan for
the future bad been presented to the Chamber.
Signor Baslogi replied, that the deficit for 1862
would be less than that for 1861, and said—" We
are living iu extraordinary times. If the produce
of the tax be not sufficient it will be necessary to
have recourse, momentarily, to the emission of
Treasury Bonds, as I have announced to the
Chamber of Deputies."

Some of the Bettors declared that the vote of
the Senate on the Budget would neither express
confidence nor distrust in the Ministry, but that in
view of the urgency of the case the propositions of
the Government would be adopted.

appears to have formed a liaison with a Mies Gray, a young

at Rome and at Naples. It appears that Mr. Kenrick's
relatives in Ragland, who are wealthy, paid no heed, under
the circumstances, to his applications for remittereess, and
that the two thereupon resolved on suicide. From what
subsequently transpired, it seems they must have gone
directly to the public gardens of the Vill► Reale, on the
sea shore, where, the café being open, they took a glass
of rum or moll°. They then climbed over the low wall
of the villa, where a semicircular space overlooking the

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT COMMISSION.

The commissioners for conaidering the propriety
of embanking the south aide of the Thames met on Saturday
afternoon, at the Weetminster Hotel; Colonel GALTOS
presided, and the other ocimmiedordes were present.
Mr. Frederick Donnie), of the Board of Works, first
examined. He said that the embankment of the Thames on
the south side was rendered necessary or desirable from the
fast that floods frequently took place on the south side of the
Thames. The floods affected the poor inhabitants and the
wharfingers. In the awe of the poor, they were driven out
of their dwellings between Nine Dims and Westminster.
bridge, and immediately after the water subsides then they
return to their dwellings, and disease was generated by the
dampens of the dwellings. It was obvious that the whin.-
fingers most suffer considerably by being flooded out of their
places of business. These things could be prevented by
an embankment., and by that means only. He pointed out
further that the crowded state of the thoroughfares on
the south side of the river between Vauxhall and Westmin-
ster, rendered an additional roadway necessary ; and the
crowded state of the thoroughfares would be increased by
the construction of Lambeth Bridge, which would be
opined next year. A new street was undoubtedly neces-
tar', and it might be made by an embankment or by widen-
ing the waterside thoroughAs to the north side of
the river above Westminster, it we. abroad? embanked. As
to lighting the wharfs on the river aide, it would interfere
with all the existing thoroughfares and the neighbourhood,
and would entail the entire reconstruction of the wharfs •
and, indeed, most of the existing wharf walls were so bait
that; any attempt to patch up the matter would be a failure,
and would not remove the evils of Hooding, nor remedy the
evils of overcrowding, from great doubt that any other
°purse than an embankment would remedy the existing
evils. It must be remembered that those on the south side
speed a large amount of coal-tax, which goes to pay for the
embankment of the north side.

Captain Galion —lf that argument would apply, then
every district should have some improvement.
Witnees—Well, by the north embankment the whole of
the north districts are improved, and by the south embank-
ment the whole of the south district" will be improved.
The goods come over the embankment, and out through the
sewers. it would be mast injurious to abolish the free land-
