CARL.

ST KIDNAPPING.

The following facts, for the authenticity of which we
pledge ourselves, illustrate so completely the system
carried on by the Carlists in Spain, that we are induced
to lay them before our readers :
In the month of May last the usher of the school at
Barcelona, took out for a walk twelve children who were
under his care, and when at a short distance from the
town he handed them over to some armed men who
were in waiting, by whom they were carried to Berga,
and placed at the disposal of the Conde de Espana, the
chief of the Carlist forces in Catalonia.

The Captain-General, Baron De Meer, immediately
wrote to Espana, to request that the children might be
sent back, and recommending him to prove that be had
no participation in so foul a deed, and chastise its in-
famous author.
To this letter no answer was sent. A. second letter
was subsequently addressed to Espana by the Captain-
General, who stated, that with the object of calming to
a certain degree the fears of the parents for the fate of
their children, he had been compelled to retain as
hostages the two sons of Espana, who were in Mal-
lorca, and the daughter of Segarra, another Carlist
chief. This letter produced no more result than
the first.

Upon the arrival of General Valdes, the present
Captain-General, he was besought by the wretched pa-
rents of these children to place himself in communica-
tion with Espana, and to endeavour and procure their
release. He did so, and the Carlist chief replied that
although he had not ordered the children to be carried
off, he should certainly turn it to account, and would
not deliver them up until some officers who had been
made prisoners, and of whom he enclosed a list, were
sent to him. General Valdes, indignant at such a
demand, replied that he would never consent to a pro-
posal contrary to every usage of war, by which pri-
soners were exchanged according to their rank, nor
sanction the barbarous principle, which even savages
would reject, that peaceable inhabitants and infants
might be captured in order to be exchanged for men
made prisoners of war with arms in their hands.
These facts require no comment ; but our readers
will easily imagine the exasperation which now exists in
Barcelona at this outrage, which exceeds in fiendish
atrocity any that has yet been perpetrated by the obe-
dient agents of that Prince whom the Northern Powers
of Europe and his abettors in England uphold as the
representative of legitimacy and of true monarchical
principles, and the curse of whose reign they desire to
inflict upon unfortunate Spain. There is not a parent
in Catalonia who does not at this moment feel exposed
to similar misery as that of the wretched fathers and
mothers whose children are incarcerated at Berge,
whence, if they are suffered to depart alive, it will be to
return home tainted by their contact with the ruffians
and criminals who compose the Carlist hordes in Cata-
lonia. We trust that this atrocious crime may not
lead to reprisals ; but if it does, we think no one will
deny that such a result, however lamentable, is natural.

NEW MODE OF RESUSCITATION FROM
DISOWNING.—At the,annual meeting of the Bristol Hu.
mane Society on Tuesday, the Society's silver medal was
presented to Dr. Fairbrother, of Clitton, for his exertions
in recovering a boy who had been under the water in the
floating harbour a quarter of an hour, and another quarter
of an hour had elapSed before the doctor could operate
upon the body. The most remarkable feature in this case
is the new mode by which Dr. Fairbrother succeeded in
his laudable object; namely, by closing the boy's mouth
with bis finger, sucking off the foul air from the lungs
through the nostrils, and promoting respiration by pressing
on the abdominal muscles on the sides. The usual method
is to inflate the lungs, but it is very seldom that persons
are recovered by this method if they have been longer
than a few minutes under the water. —B arrow's Worcester
Journal, Aug. 15.
On Wednesday afternoon last, an instance of
sudden death, attended with some singular circumstances,
occurred in Park-road, Liverpool. A labouring man, said
to he from the neighbourhood of Chester, went to the Far-
mer's Arms, kept by Mr. Nicholls, to get something to
drink, which was refused him, he being then in a state of
intoxication. He then went to a butcher's shop a little
lower down the street, and purchased half a pound of beef
steak, which he took to a neighbouring beer-shop to get
cooked, and called for a pint of ale. The beer-seller hav-
ing also refused to serve him, he left the house, and stag-
gered down the street, eating the raw meat, and followed
by a crowd of children and others laughing and hooting at
him. He had proceeded only a few yards when he fell to
the ground, apparently in a fit. Prompt assistance was
rendered to him by Mr. Syers, druggist, Dr. Pearson, and
others, and it was found that a part of the beef was stick-
ing in his throat, and producing suffocation. A piece two
or three inches long was extracted, and the man breathed
for a moment or two afterwards, and then expired in con-
vulsions. The body was then removed to the dead house.

Madame Vestris was in town in the course of
last week, and like a theatrical queen (as she is) held her
first levee fur the season at Covent Garden The ire. W,
understand that several perfumers were engaged, but the
expectations of many more w. re cl.sappointed. The prin-
cipal contract entered into was certainly one of impor-
tance, for it ensured the services of Ellen Tree for at least
a portion of the approaching season. The articles are
only for a limited number of nights, for, as we said last
week, Ellen Tree positively refuses to enter into terms
with any manager for the year. We are informed that she
public, and we is to play at two separate periods, each for only a few
nights, much fewer, we have no doubt, than will satisfy the

ILLNESS OF SIR JEFFFRY WYATVILLE.—
We are gratified to be enabled to state that Sir Jeffery
Wyatville is last proceeding towards convalescence. HIS
complaint, which it was feared would have terminated
fatally, was spitting of blood, but by the prompt adminis-
tration of ice, by Mr. :George Chapman, surgeon, of
Windsor, the effusion was stopped, and this eminent archi-
tect is now in a fair way of recovery. Sir Jeffery is still
confided. to his apartments in Windsor Castle.
