SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived.
The Captain-General of Catalonia had begged the
newspapers to refrain from speaking of military
movements or of those of the bands of insurgents.
M. Orlando, commissary-general, had left for the
Crimea to study the organisation of the allied
armies. A letter of the 10th says :

" The reorganisation of the moderado party continues
to be spoken of, but it encounters difficulties, owing to
the reluctance of Count de San Luis and his partisans
to effect a fusion with certain persons. Queen Christina
is said to be anxious that the party should take upon
itself the responsibility of the acts of the Government
previous to the revolution of July. Notwithstanding
the assertions in foreign newspapers, the greatest cordia-
lity prevails between Generals Espartero and O'Donnell.
The financial situation is improving, and a return in the
Gazette shows that 137,710,620 reals of the loan
of 230,000,000 have been voluntarily subscribed
(the real is worth five sous). Some provinces
have subscribed almost all that was required
from them ; those of Barcelona, Gerbils, Leon,
Madrid, Seville, and Tarragona are in this category.
No amount was fixed for Biscay and Navarre, but the
f.rmer has subscribed 1,000,000 and the latter more than
2,000,000 reals. A Carlist band of nine men, which
appeared in the vicinity of the royal residence of San
Fernando a few days ago, was attacked by the civil
guard, and four of them were killed, three wounded, and
three escaped by jumping into the Tagus."

an order of this Court.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant, and
pleaded that he had petitioned the Insolvent Court and
obtained his interim order. He bad not, however, had
a first hearing in consequence of the vacation at the In-
solvent Conrt.
The defendant banded in his protection dated 20th
July, and a copy of the debt inserted in his schedule.
The p'aintiff said the defendant on the 12th July was
summoned to this Court, and offered to pay the debt by
instalments of 1/. a month, which he accepted.
The insolvent said he did so, intending at the time to
apply to the Insolvent Court, but he was not sure he
should obtain his protection.
His Honour said there could be no doubt but for that
promise of payment which was made, to gain time to
petition the Insolvent Court, judgment would have been
given at that time for the immediate payment of the
amount claimed. As a general rule, he did not inter-
fere in insolvent cases, but only where he saw fraud
contemplated. In this case only eight days elapsed
after the judgment on the defendant's promise, be-
fore he petitioned the Insolvent Court, and obtained his
interim order, and he should therefore put in force the
special provision in the County Court Act applicable to
these cases, and ordered the defendant to be committed
for seven days.

IMPORTANT TO MARINE STORE DEALERS.—Mr.
Alderman Wire, on taking his seat this morning, said
he had folly considered the objection raised by Mr.
Lewis, in the case of Taylor, the marine store dealer,
whose case tce reported yesterday, and he was reluc-
tantly c.mpelled to yield to the arguments of Mr.
Le Nis and dismiss the summons. There could be no
doubt the act of Parliament was primarily passed for the
protection of the mercantile marine, and persons having
