Madrid Papers of the 12th inst. have been received
with advices from the Spanish frontier, of the 16th.
From the Capital the news is very unimportant,
relating principally to election gossip of no interest to a
Foreign reader. NI, e subioin the substance of the in
telligence from the frontier:—The insurrection against
MAnoTo is becoming so serious US to threaten the ruin of
Don Caatos. On the 11th nine battalions had re-
volted, and were joined by their offic _rs. The next day
their Chief Don JUAN ECHEVARRIA had a secret con.
ference of two hours' and a half duration with Don
CARLOS, which ended in his returning to head the insur-
gents, who were joined on the next and following day by
the 3d, 12th, and 14th battalions. ELIo sent a monk to
the insurgents of the sth division.during the conference
at Lesaca, offering them pardon if they would lay down
their arms, and assuring them that Don CARLOS was
under no restraint, but. they answered that they would
only listen to such a proposition from the mouth of CAR.
Los himself, apart from his Ministers. In fact, the Pre-
tender is become a mere puppet in the hands of the
military chiefs who find it their interest to prolong tip,
civil war.

I The Manchester and Birmingham Railway Extension
Bill pa,sed through the Committee yesterday after
contest of sixty- five days. It is stated that the oppo-
nents of the Bill intend to move for its re-commitment,
in other words, for its destruction, on the ground that
the Grand Junction, Leeds, and Birmingham lines have
been shut out from opposition though allowed by the
Com nittee to be conflicting lines. The protracted
inquiry into the merits of this Bill must con-
vince the public of the enormous difficulty and ex-
pense of getting the sanction of the House of Com-
mons to any new line that can compete with an- es-
tablished railway, tlic consequence of which must be
to deter parties from coming forward to save the
public from the despotism of a monopoly. If the pro
prietors of coaches on any line of road formerly charged
too high fares the public were immediately protected
bycompetition—the same is the case with steam-boats ;
but now on ail the principal roads of the countr3
there can be no cempetition, or the new line must be
obtained at an expense so enormous that the public can
gain no benefit by it unless at a ruinous loss to th,.
shareholders. It would be an equitable regulation, and
it. is the duty of the Government to press it on the
Legislature, to allow no Member of Parliament to sit ie
Committee, or vote in the House on any Railway Bill
in which he has a personal interest. According to the
spirit of the British Constitution, no man is allowed to
be a judge in his own cause, but the Supreme Legisla-
ture who create our laws disregard this, and make
themselves as exception to the general rule.
