DISTURBANCES IN SPAIN.

The contents of the Madrid journals of the 4th,
possess a certain degree of importance. A band
of from 100 to 150 men, armed with carbines and
muskets, and mounted on horses, had invaded—
the date is not given—the town of Utrera, which is
five leagues from. Seville, and contains a popula-
tion of upwards of 12,000 souls. They were under
the orders of a chief whom they called colonel,
and their cry was " Long live the Re-
public !" The gendarmerie having attempted
resistance were overpowered, and the insurgents
burned down their barracks, at the same time
shooting one) of them ; they then burned down
the Town-hall, and with it all the archives ;
afterwards they notified that the population must
pay a sum of 8,000 piastres in three hours. The
sum was paid, and they left for Osana and the
Sierra Morena, taking with them twenty-nine horses,
of the town or neighbourhood. When the news of
these exploits reached Seville, detachments of
cavalry were sent in pursuit of the insurgents; but
shortly after symptoms of insurrection manifested
themselves in the town, and especially at a spot
called Don Herman ; the authorities, in fact, learned
hat an outbreak was imminent.

The journals state that movements have taken
place at Malaga, Jaen, Cadiz, and La Carolina; but
they give np details, They also state that dis-
turbances were expected at Badajos.
In the Senate, on the debate relative to the levy
of 50,000 men, the Duke de Valencia (Narvaez)
spoke as follows :

It is necessary, as General O'Donnell has remarked, to
have a good army to restrain the republican and Carlist
revolutionists. Those of both parties are at work. At
Desprenaperros, in Andalusia, bands have appeared, but
they have Wen routed, and I hope to be able to announce
to-morrow that revolts which have taken place at Teruel
and Malaga have also been put down. The government
knows th it there exists a secret society which thinks it
has the means of disturbing public tranquility; but it will
not succeed in its object, which is to light up civil war.
In order to avoid civil war, let us keep the army in a good
state. * * I also hope that all those who oppose us
will keep in the proper limits, in order not to create
difficulties, not even the slightest, to the government.

A telegraphic despatch, dated the 7th, says that
the insurrection of Utrera had been completely
put down, and that twenty of the insurgents had
been killed; also that twenty-two others, who had
been arrested, were to be shot.

BELGIUM AND TURKEY

The Turkish minister at Brussels, Monsieur de
Kercichove, has roldrossed the following letter to
Viscount Vilain XIV., the Belgian Minister of

'oreign Affairs :

Monsieur le Vicomte,—l have just read with great
regret the indirect communication which you have been
kind enough to make me through the Moniteur. I cannot
refrain from expressing to you all my surprise at it. After
the measure adopted by the Sublime Porte towards the
minister of Belgium at Constantinople, the Belgian
government had certainly the right to use reprisals on me
et=pecidly if your Excellency he,d against me the cause of
complaint which you this day express. However, the
Belgian Government did not e'lopt that course ; it consi-
dered that the question was quite personal to M. Blondeel.
You yourself addressed to mu these words on the 22nd
June last :—" An incident has taken place at Constanti-
nople, but there has been nothing at Brussels." At pre-
sent, by a change of system, it is on me that--by a clever
arrangement, and a quite new interpretation of facts--
you endeavour to cast the responsibility of the incident.
Once again I regret it ; but since your Excellency has
thought fit, instead of explaining the conduct of jour
agent, to accuse me before the public, you will consider it
right, I think, that I defend mysAf bef,re the same tri-
bunal. I accept the discussion on the conditions you lay
down for me ; and since you have so willed it, the public
shall judge between 13°. I shall have the honour, at an
early day, of replying to you mote completely. In the
meantime, I beg your Excellency, to accept new assurance
of my highest consideration, E DE KELICKUOVO°

tions. He urged their Lordships, under these circum-
stances, to pass the bill.

Mr. ROBERT HANBURY seconded the amendment, con-
sidering the bill inexpedient and uncalled for.
Sir G•. GREY stated, that the measures was only per-
missive, and submitted the expediency of adopting its
principle, which was to arrest children in a career of

that magistrates were not the proper persons to entrust
with the conduct of reformatory schools, and that the
undertaking could only be properly conducted by those
who had their hearts in it.
Sir E• KERRISON thought the bill being perm'ssive would
be useless,-and pointed to the success which has attended
the compulsory system on the continent.

be diminished ; and

now burthen upon the ratepayers.
Mr• 11111111LNEs took the same view as Mr. Hackblock,
and objected, in answer to an argument urged in the debate,
to trusting a matter of such importance as the establish-
/neat of reformatory schools to the mere chance of volun -
taty exertions.

Sir. H. VERNEY objected to the management of the
reformatory institutions being entrusted to magistrates.
Mr. E. DENISON cordially supported the bill, and Mr.
Garnett opposed it, not thinking they were justified in
ta sing the ratepayers till the present system had been
fairly tried.

ciple of the bill, and hoped the House would consent

principle of the bill, and to that he objected.

tary efforts.

remedy for the condition of Scotch lunatics, and stated
his belief that if a commission were appointed, Scotch poor
would be found to be equally badly treated.
After a few words from Mr. Hope Johnstone,

the bill might be carried out without the aid of a board,
by a coupte of inspectors being sent to Scotland by the
Secretary of State, to carry out what alterations might be
considered necessary.
Mr E, ELLICE would not oppose the bill, though he
thought the evils might be remidied by the establishment

indicted tor the wilful murder of Mary Crawley, at Strat-
ford, in Essex. Mr. Best prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh

The learned j.idge told the jgry the recommendation should
be firwarded to the proper quarter. His lordship, having
assumed the black cap, passed sentence of death, telling
the prisoner not to entertain the slightest hope that his
life would be spared. The prisoner left the dock quite
noconcetned. The execution will take place at Chelms-
