IM3UItItELTION IN SPAIN.

(T711:01 On SEUTIMeII MIENCT.)
PARIS, fispr. 21, EvFornse.

lie Figaro of this evening announces that the
teen of Carthagen& in Spain, has fallen into the
hands of the insurgents. It also publishes Intel-
Egenice from Cadiz stating that two vessels of war:
sLi road to be the Villa do Madrid and the Sara-
gossa, eommeneed bombarding the city, where-
upon a portion of the garrison withlrow to
join the royal forces. The insurgents thgn
eetablislied themselves on the coast, and shortly
antiwar& the remainder of the garrison raised a
%bite Bag. The oity is now in the power of
the Progressistas. General Prim has arrived in
Spain, but his whereabouts is not known. Colonels
Baldrick and Lagunero are in command of the
hands in Catalonia and Andalusia.
The Patric, on the other hand, states that the
Queen of Spain has not abdicated, and that the
insurgents have not become masters of any por-
tion of Cadiz. It says that the revolutionists are
still outside the city, that the inhabitants and
garrison remain faithful to the government, and
are preparing to attack the insurgent bands, and
that the Governor of Cadiz has rejected every
summons to surrender, sent by the eommandere of
tLe frigates. Acoording to the same journal.
General Concha has assumed the presidency of the
ministry without forming a fresh cabinet, and the
post of Minister of the Interior will be retained
II Senor Gonzales Bravo.
The Moniteur du Soir, however, declares that
Gonzales Bravo has resigned, and that General
Concha has been charged to take the measures
rendered necessary by existing circumstances.

The Etendard states that General Concha hal
assumed the supreme command of the army as well
as the presidency of the ministry, and has ap-
pointed his eldest brother commander in chief of
the army in Andalusia.
The Atendard adds :—" In the political world,
the state of Spain is believed to be very anima.
Telegraphic communication between Madrid and
the Southern provinces is interrupted."
The France of this evening has the following :--
" We know from a sure source that the Queen did
net leave yesterday evening for Madrid,
and this fact will justify the belief that
the journey was considered not to be without
danger. Cadiz was still in the hands of the Go-
vernment yesterday. General Prim is believed to
be on board a frigate at Gibraltar. Baron Mercier,
the French ambassador, has not left Madrid.
Count Girgenti left Paris yesterday for Spain, to
take command of a regiment. Telegraphic com-
munication between France sad Spain is inter-
rupted."
The Libert, says that Seville has pronounced in
favour of the Progressistas, and that the insurrec-
tion has spread to Catalonia and Arragon.
The " sovereignty of the people," and an
" appeal to the nation," are announce' by the
Tempe and other journals as oonstituting the pro-
gramme of the insurgent party.
The Slide mentions, under reserve, a rumour
that the Queen of Spain has resolved to abdicate
in favour of her eldest son, and has proposed to
confide the regency to General Espartero.

argues that the interruption of the telegraph lines

(From the Deily Newt.)

TEN intermittent °controversy which fell awed
Liu% Mr. Kiruna's invitation td unattached
sladents has Lon brought to seine, though pro-
' ably slily a momentary cloF.e, by his answer
open the w bole cage. As between himself and his
ti.pcacnts we think Mr. Krrcunc has decidedly
the lint of the argument. If there is a fault in
his reasoning, it is only that he brings the remote
tunic a little tco near, and Fo runs the risk of
diterpointing Fome who have not taken into
act( unt the interval which must probably elapse
before lupe can become fruition. The error of
tl ore who have combatted his views has been of the
opposite kind. They have been unable to omi-
ssive a future which shall in any way surpass the
prennt. " Surely," they say, "to-morrow shall
"he as to-day, and no more abundant." The
most conspicuous authority on this side was a writer
14 }Jo signed himself, "A Resident Professor." If we
II nit niter right, this gentleman, in calculating the
lowest sum for which an unattached student might
reside during the academical year, put down 128.
a week for lodgings. This would be a very fair
a climate for lodgings of the old type, consisting,
that is to Fay, of • Fitting room and bedroom with
the usual moderate attendance. But to the claw
of students whom it is desired to attract to Oxford
Iwo rooms will certainly not be a necessary of
life. The most they will require is a bedroom
• hich will also serve as a working room, and a
share of a common sitting room in which to take
their meals. It is probable, indeed, that if unat-
tached itudente come up in any numbers, a new
klrd of lodging house will arise which will supply
fos d as well. London clerks usually find it their
theapest plan to live at • boarding house, and at
Oxford circumstances will make this plan pecu-
liarly eunvenient. By the University regulations
the same lodging house will not be allowed to take
in students and non-students, so that, as all the

mates will Le of the same class, a system of
,tr mate bedrooms, with a sitting room and meals
in (sermon, will be both natural and convenient.
1 his might certainly be provided for six or eight
men ii‘ing together at •:eost of about 11. a week.
In this way even Mr. Hemlines figuree might be
diminish( a by Bs. a week, so that the 7.3/. 12s. which
he allows ter " board and lodgings for three
")(en of 18 weeks" would be reduced to .5-11.,
thus hrirging his total estimate to a little under
instead of a little over hal. a year.
Nor is this the only correction wr. should be
ditiered to make. Mr. KITCIIIN has justly con-
demned the needless fright which "A Resident
" Professor" gave some of his correspondents by
rutting private tuition at 30!. a year. Even for
the Oxford of the present this was a perfectly
atsurd estimate, while it is one which completely
proves its author's inability even to imagine the
Oxford of the future. On Mr. Hercurres far more
reasonable reckoning this item appears at 3/. 3a. a
term, which, in addition to what he allows for
professors' fees, makes 381. 7s. for the three years.
With the magnificent endowments which Oxford
enjoys is it impossible that this sum should
ever be reduced ? It may be said, perhaps, that
the endowments in question belong to the colleges
not to the University, and that as such unattached
students can have no claim to share in a profit by
them. We do not believe that the colleges would
wish to put forward this plea; we are sure that
it would not be to their interest to do so. There
is no disposition at present to abridge in any way
their rights as independent corporations, but the
speediest way of creating such a disposition would
be to make those rights an excuse for abdicating
that educational function for the discharge of
which the colleges exist. He who most wishes to
etc college endowments kept distinct instead of
being absorbed into a Neneral university fund
will be most anxious to give the administration of
these endowments wide and generous scope. Al-
reedy the most famous of these societies have
ode red private tuition almost a superfluity for
the industrious among their own members.
Unless a very great change comes over Oxford
there will always be colleges where the prepon-
derance of idle or stupid men among the under-
graduates will make additional help a necessity,
al d blue leave Mille of the teaching I over
avail-
aLle for use outside, or where the fewness of the
Lode rertet:uates as ecru] ared with the fellows will
ti able the latter to throw open many of their
lectures to unattached students. In either of
thete ways the sum which Mr. Errenie names
may he considerably brought down, while if the
Endowments of the various chairs were raised to a
pew scale, the fees to professors might, at all
CT( nts in the case of unattached students, be also
left out. If the whole cost of tuition could thus
be lint at N. a year, a further sum of 231. is. for
the three years, or nearly 81. a year, might be
struck off Mr. KITCIII2eB total.

Intelligence from St. Sebastian announces that
the Queen is preparing to leave at six o'clock this
evening for Madrid, where she will arrive at nine
to-morrow morning.

N't he n I come to Birmingliaml shall be glad to explain
anything which is not clearly understood with regard to
my political opinions. I may, however, remark that you
advise an, extraordinary course when you propose to ex-
pel certain parsons from England, and to drive all " ri-
tuali.t.' from the church of England. I need hardly tell
you that I am very protestant—being much against all
priestly power; but I cannot consent under the name of
protsstantism to do what may be unjust, and what would.
in my opinion, create discord and difficulty throughout
the nation.—l am, very truly yours. JUJUS BlilOnT.—T.

Passing over sonic minor points, such as a pos-
sible diminution in the fees at the B.A. degree,
and for entrance to examinations, which together
amount to 111.2 c., we think that even• non-Oxford
reader will be struck by one feature in Mr.
Bynum's calculation. It is all based upon a
residence of 18 weeks in each year. All this
trouble has been taken to draw poor scholars to
Oxford, and yet, supposing they are brought, it is
only proposed to keep them there for four months
out of the twelve. The inordinate length of Ox-
ford vacations perhaps acts as an undetagned cor-
rective to some of the evils belonging to the pre-
sent system. It gives overworked tutors a little
time for private study, and prevents the whole
year from being wasted in the supervision of idle
undergraduates. But to many of the new students
stch an arrangement will be simply a disastrous
interruption to their reading. From Oxford, where
ey lave privacy, libraries and tuition, they will
have to return to homes where they can command
nt ve of the three. They will have no money to
sherd cn reading parties; they will simply be
la ft to retain us well as they eni what, they have
haired dur:ng the term, instead of go:ng on. after
a It' oderate and neeessary. holiday. to odd knowledot
to knowledge. I f the six weeks tonic were increased
to eight weeks, an additional tentt introduced into
tie hug vacation, and another half term into the
Cilia:tutus or Easter vacat:on, the working year
would at cue* be doubled, and nearly four months
be still left for recreation. It would not be de-
sirable to make residence during these additional
weeks compulsory, since there may bo some
among the unattached students who will wish to
earn during two parts of the year the sum which
is to keep them at Oxford for the third part.
But for those who are not thus situated there's an
obvious economy in learning as much as possible
in the shortest time, besides the saving, in some
cases not inconsiderable, of two journeys out of
six.

robbery from the penon. On Saturday morning. his cell
sea found to be empty, and a searc.h on the pre-

unobserved. Be also effected an entrance of the

several tiers of lone bricks, plated there to prevent
