SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2nd have arrived. In
the Senate the members who had abandoned their
seats on account of the Callonge affair had, in accor-
dance with their recent resolution, resumed them.
On taking his place, General Callonge requested
the President to have certain of the standing
orders read, which was done. M. Luzuriaga then
observed that the object of the request could be no
other than to create doubts as to the legality
of the decision respecting the General adopted at
a recent sitting. The General said that the hon.
Senator had no right to judge what his motives
were, and the Senate, declining to reopen the
matter, proceeded to other business, and adopted
the Bill fixing the strength of the army. In
the Chamber of Deputies,' M. Rivero, the sole
member of the Ultra-Democratic party, had notified
his intention to propose, a vote of censure on the
ministers for their general policy. As the standing
orders require that every motion shall be signed by
at least seven members, six members of the Pro-
gressist party had joined M. Rivero, in order
to enable the motion to be discussed. It is stated in
the Espana, that the Pope was informed by tele-
graph, of the refusal of the Senate to try the charge
of embezzlement against M. Santaella, and of the
determination taken by the Government to leave it to
be dealt with by the ecclesiastical tribunal; and it
adds that his Holiness was so pleased that he sent a
telegraphic despatch to the Queen, warmly con-
gratulating her Majesty, and expressing thanks to
Heaven.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH BRITON.

The steamer North Briton has arrived . here
from Portland, with dates from New York to the
25th, Boston the 26th, and Portland the 27th ult.
A telegraphic despatch from Halifax, dated the
24th, announces that neither the Niagara or Alps
steamers, from Liverpool, had arrived.
The political news by this arrival is quite devoid
of interest. _ .

A writer at Washington, on the 24th ult., says
" Much concern has recently been manifested by
several of the foreign ministers regarding the Arizona
emigration movement, and it has been stated that
the Administration is opposed to it, on the surmise
that it is connected with General Walker ; but the
assurance is given that such is not the case, and, as
a consequence, the opposition which was raised
against the expedition has ceased. As it is claimed,
the Administration cannot be adverse to legitimate
colonisation in the United States, a company of
emigrants is forming in Washington."
Later news had been received at New York from
Havannah and Mexico. The dates from Havannah
are to the Bth ult. Sugar was inactive. The stock
on hand was 200,000 boxes. The difficulty between
the banks and the planters continues. A conference
has been proposed. Miramon was still marching on
Vera Cruz, where the garrison was reported as small
and disaffected. Zacatecas and Leon had been
evacauted by the Liberalists. Gayoza holds Degol-
lado in check near the City of Mexico.
The Canadian advices mention that a bill for the
incorporation of the Transatlantic Telegraph Com-
pany had been introduced in Parliament by the
Hon. Mr. Dorion, It provides for a line from Quebec
via Labrador, with a capital of $1,000,000, which
may be increased to $5,000,000. The work is to be
commenced • within one year, and completed to
Labrador within three years.
The Californian mails, by the steamer Quaker
City, had reached New York. The news has been
anticipated by a previous arrivaLhere.
The commercial advices from New York report
the stock market as very steady, and prices tending
towards an advance. The demand for Exchange on
London was not very active, but the quotations were
firm at 1091. There had been no change in the
1 money market. -
