SPAIN.

We have received an account of the sitting of the
Spanish Cortes, which took plaGe on the 19th inst.
A. proposition was read to the effect that the pre-
sent Cabinet did not possess the requisite qualities
for governing the country. The following is a brief
report of what Espartero said on the occasion :

The Duke de 1a Victoria, President of the Coun-
cil, rose and said—The vote of censure proposed
to the Cortes is sovereignly unjust. I am asto-
nished certainly that an accusation has been brought
against me of not having a will of my own. I must
affirm that, on the contrary, I have one of a very de-
cided character. It is a mistake, also, to suppose that
the Ministers do not agree, and that unity does not mark
their actions. The Cabinet has accepted the views of it,
president ; and he, in his turn, seconds his colleagues in
every respect. These views amount to this :—To conso-
lidate for ever liberal institutions, public order, and the
happiness of the nation. I by no means want to sep -
rats myself front the accusation so unjustly brought
against the ministry. If the Ministers have been guilty,
or have committed errors, I declare, unhesitatingly, that
I, as President of the Council, ought to be the first to be
accused. (Loud approbation.)

M. Sevillano, Minister of Finance, has re-
signed. He is succeeded by M. Madoz.

The following telegraphic despatches were re•
ceived in Paris last night :

TRIESTE, JAN. 25.

A packet has just arrived with accounts from
Constantinople to the 15th. The weather was
♦ery cold. The Jupiter, Turenne, and Napoleon,
French ships of the line, were about to return to
France. Vessels under the Greek flag are ad-
mitted into the Turkish ports. The accounts from
the Crimea are to the 12th. Notwithstanding the
snow, the works of the Allies are advanced to
within 45 yards of the place. Daily skirmishes take
place with the Russians. The oth division of
the French army, aid the dragoons and hussars
that were at .Adrianople will proceed to the
Crimea in the course of the winter. There is
still a great want of wooden barracks, which are
anxiously expected.

VIENNA, JAN. 25.

Independently of the Austrian circular note of
41... 1 1.0., :_.l n„ r
addressed on the same day by Count de
Buol to the diplomatic agents of Austria.
This despatch, it is said, reserves the even-
tual recourse by the Cabinet of Vienna
to the provisions of the Art. 42 of the final act
of May 15, 1320, on the Constitution of the
Germanic Confederation, which says :—..cc If the
preliminary question relative to the existence of
danger is decided negatively by the majority of
votes, such of tee Federal States as are not of the
opinion of the majority have a right to concert
among themselres fir common measures of de-
fen ce."

HAMBURG, JAN. 24.

A despatch from Stockholm states that the
Ministerial Gazate of that city positively contra-
dicts the report en the subject of the approaching
mobilisation of the Swedish array.

BERLIN, THURSDAY.

General Wedloll, Governor of Luxembourg,
arrived here yesterday, and will proceed on a

PORTUGAL.

Tho Minh° steamer brings Lisbon letters of the
20th inst.

The Iberia steamer, with the Peninsular mails,
would leave Lisbon two or three days after the
usual time, having only gone on to Cadiz and Gib-
raltar on the 15th.

There was no political news in Lisbon. The
Peers had approved without debate the reply to
Throne. The Deputies had been engaged with the
Recruitment Bill, and had voted its principal pro-
visions.

GREAT NEWCASTLE FIRE !-MILNERS'
" lIOLDF ; ST" and FIRE-RESISTING SAF FS, with Mil-
ners' New Patent Gunpowder Proof Locks. The strongest, best,
aril cheapest safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or
violence.

The late fearful explosion and wide-spread devastating Fire at
Gateshead and Newcastle, destroyed property of the value of one
million, converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur,
nitrate of sods, peat charcoal, and otht r highly combustible stores),
whole stacks of offices. houses, &c., into a perfect volcano of tierce,
concentrated, incinera ing, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which
not only combustible things, but even br cks, stones, and iron were
burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary kind, iron doored strong
rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and
destroyed. But amongst the many instances of preservation, Thomas
Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following
gratifying testimonial:—

" Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854.

" Gentletnen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were compleely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the 6th inst., reduced a great many buildings in Newcastle-
upon-1 yno and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Holdfast'
Safes, in oar offices, have been the means of preserving our books,
bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex-
posed for about nine to ten hours to an immense heat, and dug out of
the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi-
pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Seine of the
papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they
can be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it
our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new
safes to bueefficstion.—We are, goat?-tacit, youna

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.—Yesterday, several Par-
liamentary papers were printed. Two bills in the
House of Commons were issued relating to Ireland—one
by the Government to regulate markets and fairs, and
the other brought forward by Mr. Whiteside, to amend
the law relating to juries, and the qualification ofjurors.
A blue book was published respecting the Australian
Gold Fields, and a paper containing a document from
the French army in the Crimea, acknowledging the vote
of thanks of the British Parliament.
MURDBR AT 811MMERCOITRS, DERBTSUIRE.-011 Tues-
day, Mr. Coroner Busby commenced an inquiry at the
Tiger Inn, Summercoates, near Alfreton, Derbyshire,
on the body of John Mancy, an Irishman, aged 29, who
had died on the Sunday evening previous. From a
statement made by Mancy previous to his death, three
men, named Thomas Wall, Barrett, and Michael
Donolly, also Irish, have been apprehended on a charge
of having murdered deceased. On being taken into
custody by Superintendent James, prisoners said, before
being told the charge, "How cruel it was of Johnny to
say anything against us. We are not guilty, for we were
all such good friends." The evidence goes to show that
deceased was knocked down and robbed on Sleet Moor
on the previous Tuesday night, and that his assailants
had drawn him to the mouth of an unused coal pit, with
the intention of casting him into the shaft when they
were put off. Evidence having been gone into, the
inquiry Was adjourned,

of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs es, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his ,•ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of Quiet Sympethisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
•Ould find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
se saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
,eil importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money „This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
like'y to do much good."

NEW GENERAL MAP OF EUROPE.

The Messrs. Blackwood have just issued a General
Map of Europe-3.1 ft. by 4, , mounted—in their
usual superior style. The map has been constructed
from the best authorities by A. Keith Johnston,
F.R.G.S., &c., Geographer to the
Queen, and comprises the latest additions and rec-
tifications, of the accuracy of which Mr. Johnston's
same is a sufficient guarantee. Sea and railway
routes, with the distances of the former, are dis-
tinctly laid down—heights and distances are given
in English feet and miles fortified towns are
boldly marked, and the dates of important battles,
up to the latest period, are presented in immediate
contact with the localities in which they were
fought. The map is an exceedingly valuable one,
and, in the present complex state of our foreign
relations, may be consulted with advantage by all,
and is therefore likely to meet, as it deserves, with
a large romunozative oak',

It is, therefore, clear that the rent charge was not a
fixed money payment of 1001., but only such a sum as
the above quantities of wheat, barley, and oats are equi-
valent to, according to the average prices for seven years
to each preceding Christmas.
The septennial averages, as published in the London
Ga: tte, may be shown to be correct by the following
statement of the annual averages :

The year 1847, which in the above account is re-
placed by the year 1854, was, in consequence of the
scarcity which then existed, one of high prices, and par-
ticularly so as to barley and oats, viz.:—

must necessarily be less than the preceding year, al-
though the price of wheat was a little more in 1854 than
in 1847.
We have seen that the 1001. rent charge was, from
the passing of the act, to be represented by a certain
number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats ; there-
fore, if we value these numbers of bushel 3 by the septen-
nial average prices, as fixed in the London Gazette of the
sth inst., we shall find the value of 100/. of tithe rent
charge for the year 1855 as follows ?--

I hope the explanation. I bane given will enable any
one to satisfy himself, at any future time, as to the ac-
curacy of the valuation of the tithe rent charge, as well
as of the septennial average prices of wheat, barley, and
oats.

It may be of some use to the owners of tithe rent
charge to be aware that, by the 20th section of 3 Vic.,
c. 15, the half-yearly rent charge which becomes due on
the Ist of January, is to be regulated by the averages
publised in the month of January in the preceding year,
not by the averages published a few days after the said
Ist of January.—l remain, &c.,

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan.,23.—Yesterday was the day fixed
for laying before the Diet the demand for the
mobilization of the German contingents, made
by Austria, and refused by this Cabinet in
its note of the sth. Great anxiety is felt
on both sides as to the result, and each
great German Government has brought and will
bring into action all occult as well as overt means
to turn the scale in its favour. It may be regarded
as a struggle upon which mainly depends not only
the supremacy of each, but which is pregnant,
should Prussia obtain the majority, with most
baneful effects, not only to Germany, but to the
Western Powers.
The Post Ampt Gazette, under its Berlin head,
says :—" We can positively affirm that it is not
true that Prussia has caused Count d'A.rnim to
present a formal protest against the resolutions
which might be come to at the conferences of
Vienna ' without her participation. Prussia has
not quitted the expectant attitude wch she has
observed since the commencement of the negotia-
tions, although the opinion at Berlin is that she
will not long remain in her present passive posi-
tion."
A letter from Berlin, of the 21st, says :
"The new Austrian note (of the 14th, which
has just been published at length) has produced
a painful impression on our governmental cir-
cles from its firm tone. It is a reply to the
Berlin note of the sth, by which Prussia
refused to place on a war footing the body of
troops demanded by Austria. The Cabinet of
Vienna qualifies the refusal of Prussia as a
violation of treaties ; the Prussian Cabinet being
obliged by the military convention of the 20th
April to make the concentration of troops
required. The disquietude produced by this new
and grave dissension between Prussia and Austria
has produced a marked effect on the quotations of
the Stock. Exchange.—The Prussian Government
intends, as is known, to prohibit the circulation in
the Prussian States of all foreign paper-money.
The petty States, on their part, intend to protest
against this measure in the Diet, on the ground that
Art. 19 of the Federal Act establishes a community
~s rolationo bottroon all the
From a report submitted by the Ministry to the
Clambers, it appears that out of the loan of thirty
millions of thalers, niade for extraordinary military
expenses, only 4,135,724 thalers have been dis-
bursed. The English Ambassador here, Lord
Bloomfield, presented a few days ago to the King
the reply of Queen Victoria to the letter of his
Majesty which M. Von Uusedom conveyed to Lon-
don. It is said that this reply expresses the hope
that the negotiations which are about to commence
at Vienna will lead to peace ; that England will
not neglect anything that is just and equitable to
obtain peace ; but that she will not shrink from any
sacrifice to re-establish the European balance of
power in a durable manner."
