The peaceful course of the revolution in Madrid
was yesterday interrupted by an incident which,
although easily explicable, is greatly to be re-
grate d. Strange es it may sound, the private
secretary of Gonzales Bravo—an individual named
ll'edro Ruiz—hi/teed of escaping with hie master
to France has remained in Madrid, and through-
out the last fortnight has boon living in a house,
An one of the streets that run out of the Puerta
del Sol. There ha was almost an eye witness of
all the principal events of the revolution,
and there he might have remained in perfect
safety as long as ho pleased. Yesterday, how-
ever, encouraged I suppose by the immunity from
attack which he had enjoyed, he appears to have
conceived the idea that he might, under the new
government, obtain something like the position
which he had held under the old one. Accord-
ingly, about three o'clock in the afternoon, ho
presented himself in the Government House, and
offered his senior to the Junta. To reach the
Government House he had to cross the Puerta del
Sol ; but on his way thither he seems to have Az
traded no attention, and; indeed, to have escaped
all notice. When he appeared before the members
of the Junta, who happened to be in the home at
the time, they expressed great surprise at his
presence in Madrid, declined to make any
use of him, and, in order to protect him
against the r7l consequences of recognition on his
way home, offered to send with him a couple of
men belonging to the National Guard. Ruiz seems
by this time to have become sensible of the impru-
dence which he had committed in showing himself
in the streets of Madrid at such a time as this, and
readily accepted the offer of the Junta; but he
does not appear to have had the wisdom to act
altogether upon their warning. He left the Go-
vernment House with his guard, and walked half-
way across the Puerta del Sol without any inter-
ruption, and, indeed, I believe without being re-
cognised. Unfortunately, after getting so far, he
met a friend, who, not unnaturally, asked him
what he was doing there. Ruiz, without
paying any regard to the circumstance that his
guards were still going on, stopped to speak
to this person, and entered into an explanation of
the business upon which he had been to the Go-
vernment House. Ile was a good deal annoyed at
the refusal of his services by the Junta, and more
than once spoke of them as canaille. The Puerta
del Sol was, as it generally is at this period of the
afternoon, pretty well filled with people, many of
them of the humbler, and some, indeed, of the
lowest classes of the population; and at last Ruiz,
addressing his companion with an imprudent loud-
nese of tone, and waving his hand, said, "See
what a canaille they are I believe that up to
this time be had not been recognised ea the
secretary of Gonzales Bravo; but when this
observation was heard the hostility of the crowd
was at once excited. They raised the cry, "He
calls us canaille—let us kill him ;" and a score of
bands were at once raised against the unfortunate
man. His guards, unconscious that he had stopped,
or careless in the performance of the duty which
had been entrusted to them, bad gone on towards
the Carrera del Arena]. He was thus exposed
alone and unprotected to the fury of the crowd.
His friend did not, and could not, do anything to
assist him. Aroused when too late to the peril of
his situation, Ruiz tried to make a run for it, and.
strange as it may seem, he actually contrived to
reach and take shelter in his own house. On his
way thither he was repeatedly struck, thrown
down, and hustled, and, I believe, was more
than once stubbed. The most extraordinary cir-
cumstance is, that considering the crowd that
was gathered round hint, and the fury and ex-
citement which prevailed among theta, he should
have been able to traverse this lot) or 130 yards
of square and street alive. From what I have
seen, I fancy that the explanation of the matter is,
that on occasions such as this the Spaniards be-
come so excited that they are unable to take a
true aim. They strike rapidly and heavily, but
many of their strokes full short of or otherwise
miss the mark for which they ire intended ; and I
dare say many a blow aimed at Ruiz fell upon the
head or shoulders of some of his enemies. Be
that as it may, Ruiz reached his home, not un-
hurt, but still not seriously injured, and
took refuge in one of the upper apartments.
Hither he was followed by the crowd, who ex-
pressed their determination to have his body, and
demanded that he should be given up to them. The
people of the house made some resistance, in which
they were assisted by the two members of the
National Guard who had been sent to escort Ruiz,
and by some others. Ultimately, however, the
door was forced in, and Ruiz was forced from his
place of concealment. What happened within the
house I cannot say; but after a short interval the
unfortunate man was dragged, bruised, bleeding,
and apparently half dead, into the street. Some
of his clothes had been torn off, his shirt was covered
with blood, Lis face was cut and bruised, and what
appeared to be the mark of a stab was visible
on the top of his head, which was quite bald. The
crowd were still clamouring for his life, and had no
one come to his assiatanoo he would no doubt
speedily have been killed. Fortunately at this
time it had become known to the Junta, and to
some members of the government, what was going
on, and a party of twenty or thirty of the National
Guard were despatched to his rescue. It was not
without difficulty that they accomplished their
task. The crowd, angry, excited—blood-thirsty
I am afraid I must say, as mobs in all countries
too frequently are—raged and struggled round
them like an angry beast deprived of its prey, and
more than once as they crossed the Puerta on their
way to the Government House. the pressure was so
great that the men who were carrying Ruiz were
compelled to drop him in order to defend themselves.
'Ultimately the square was crossed, and Ruiz, thus
placed under the protection of the national troops,
was carried into the house more dead than alive.
For some time, indeed, no hopes were entertained
of his recovery, but I bear this morning that ho
is not yet deed, and that his wounds are not so
serious as might hive been supposed, and as was
at first imagined. The news of what was going on
in the Puerta naturally spread into the neighbour-
hood, and before the close of the sad struggle
which I have been sketching very large crowd
had assembled. When General Prim was informed
of what had taken place, ho went out upon the bal-
cony of the Hotel de Paris, and rebuked tho
people in stern and very plain language.
Ho reminded them that both he and General
Serrano had cheerfully exposed their lives in
, order to secure the liberties of the Spanish people,

2.111.1010/..

and declared that they had not done this in order
that the life of any other man might be endan-
gered. Liberty could not be preserved without
order, and therefore in the interest of liberty itself
crdcr must be maintained at all cost and at all
hazards. Above all things, he and those who were
acting with him were determined to prevent any-
thing like assassination. " The eyes of Europe,"
said the gallant general with emotion, " are upon
es." Possibly this phrase has never been less abused
than in this instance. " The eyes of Europe are
upon us; let us continue to conduct our-
selves with the dignity which has gained so
much admiration for the revohition." This speech
was very well received, and at its close was greeted
with plenty of vivas for himself, for the provi-
sions]for
noEberly,inandvd
diifoualr th:trislvene-
reigntyPovfetrnheinentpeo;le. But
by a generous remorse gave himself up for punish-
ment es an assailant of Ruiz; nor, although orders
were given to seize any one who was known to be
culpable, have the police, as far as I know, yet
made any arrests. After concluding his speech
General Prim went across the Puerta to the Go-
vernment House, into the balcony of which he
was accompanied by Senor Rivero, as the repre-
sentative of the Junta. Prim said a few words to
the people, and then Rivhro delivered an elo-
quent and stirring oration, in which he dwelt upon
the confidence which exists between the Junta and
the generals, and pointed out that any violence or
disorder could only injure the popular cause,
and serve the interests of such men as
Gonzales Bravo, who were the worst
enemies of the people. He severely rebuked
those who had been concerned in the at-
tack upon Ruiz, and emphatically declared
that the watchwords of the people ought
to be " Order, forgiveness, and confidence." The
eloquent sentences of Riven) had the most powerful
effect, and produced a fine display of enthusiasm.
The applause was both loud and long. Hata,
sticks, and handkerchiefs were waved in the air,
and altogether the scene presented by the Puerta
del Sol during and at the close of his address was
a most remarkable one.
I have described the circumstances attending the
attack upon Ruiz with more minuteness and at
greater length than I should otherwise have done,
because I foresee that advantage may be taken of
it by the friends of the ex-Queen and the enemies
of Spain to represent the revolution as the work of
a cruel and ferocious mob, who do not hesitate to
steep their hands in the blood of men who have
done nothing at all to justify their enmity. This
is not the case at all. In the first place, it was not
the men who attacked and beat Ruiz who made
the revolution. I am afraid one cannot quite
acquit the two members of the National Guard
who were sent to protect him of negligence in the
discharge of their duty ; and there seems to have
been some delay in sending to his assistance after
he was attacked ; but so far as the National Guard
did interfere, so far as the canaille, as he insolently
described them, took part in the matter at all, it
was for his protection, and not at all to his injury.
It is impossible to feel anything but horror
and disgust at the ides of a crowd of
sonic 2,000 or 3,000 people setting upon
one man, and hunting him to death ; but it
is only justice to say that Ruiz seems to have
brought his fate upon himself, by his foolhardineee
and insolence. Ile must have had plenty of op-
portunities to leave Madrid since his master ran
away to Prance ; and even if he stopped hero he
might have remained in doors until things had
completely settled down. At all events there was
no justification for the effrontery which led him to
offer hie services to the Junta, and the insolence
which permitted him to describe in their hearing
as a cafiaille the men whom the misdeeds of his
master bad driven to revolution. There are some
things which would rouse the blood of the veried
craven in the world, and to be insulted by a
pendent of Gonzales Bravo is more than tho
humblest or commonest man in Madrid can at this
moment be expected to endure. Ido nqt wish to
offer any apology for what occurred yesterday,
I have met no man in Madrid who does not con-
do mn and regret it. But I wish the people of
England to understand exactly what took place,
and how it was brought about; and especially to
bear in mind that the wrong that was done was
neither committed nor encouraged by those who
have accomplished the Spanish revolution, or
by any one over whom they exercise any direct
and immediate control.

plaints which have been made on the subject of the
suburban trains of the Midland Railway, ihe:namber of
such trains to the city were increased from 27 to 13, all
but two being third-c; and for the convenience of the
city people, the number of trains from rmehley-road,
where the line competes with the lid. John's-wood branch

ANOTHER SHOCKING ACCIDENT OX THE Bli HIVE-
TON Ilcammv.—On Saturday evening another &tat
occi-
dent occurred on the London, Brighton, and South Ocsist
Railway, near the London-bridge station, to a gentleman
who had strayed on the line, and who, in consequence,
was almost cut to pieces. It was just dark at the time.
The unfortunate man was knocked down by •
train which was ou its way to Victoria, and he was
not discovered till too late. It woulds
)7ear thou that
he was sensible of his danger, for at the where ho was
killed, which is about a quarter of a mi e from the plat-
form of the London-bridge terminus, and between the A
and 11 signal-boxes, he had endeavoured to reach the wall
which runs parallel with the line. In this, however, he
failed. Ilia legs and arms were almost cut off. It is stated
that nearly 600 trains run over this particular portion of
the line during the day. The deceased is believed to have
been in business in Marylebone.
