SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 11th state that the
different Ministries are busily engaged in termina-
ting their respective budgets for the financial year
beginning in July, 1863.
The Diario states that despatches have been
received from M. Tessera, the Spanish re-
presentative at Washington, annonncing that the
American Government will give the most complete
satisfaction to Spain with regard to the recent affair
of the Montgomery.

THE ALONITEUR ON LORD RUSSELL'S

DLSPA TCH.

The Moniteur, in its bulletin of yesterday, makes
the following remarks :
" The English despatch fully appreciates the sen-
timents which dictated the step taken by the Em-
peror's Government. It testifies, on the part of the
British Government, the most lively desire to act in
concert with France. In declining, for the present,
the cooperation which has been offered, it is influ-
enced only by the more or less favourable chance,
which the proposition of the French Government
might have at this precise moment in the United
States. It is not a refusal, it is only a postponement.
"The Russian despatch may be looked upon in the
same light. It does ample justice to the feeling of
conciliation and humanity which influenced the
Emperor; and, when the proper time comes, it pro-
mises its moral suppport to any step that may be
taken at Washington. In St. Petersburg, no less
than at London, it is the situation of affairs in the
United States which has caused ali action, in the
sense of the French proposal, to be deferred.
"The reception which our offer of friendly inter-
ference would be likely to have in America must
undoubtedly be considered as very important; but
if our information is correct, the hesitations of the
cabinets of London and St. Petersburg has nearly
reached the period assigned for their duration.
There is in the United States, both Northern and
Southern, an opinion favourable to peace which be-
comes stronger every day. The elections which
just taken place attest the progress of that opinion ;
its upholders have obtained a decided advantage,
and it is likely to be that of the majority at the
next meeting of Congress."

ANO7HER RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN
SCOTLAND.

GLASGOW, Sunday.—The mail train for London,
which left this city on Saturday night at 9.10, met
with an accident between Lockerbie and Beattock,
on the Caledonian Railway, whereby one man was
killed, and other persons were hurt somewhat seri-
ousiy. The accident, which took place about mid-
night, was caused by the breaking of the tire of one
of the leading wheels of the engine as the train was
going down what is known the Beattock incline.
The locomotive, tender, guard's van and carriage
left the metals, and swerved to the left, and
after running about 500 yards came to a stand.
The next, a carriage, including the post-office van,
turned to the left and fell over the embankment—a
height of 15 or 20 feet. In this part of the,train the
sole damage was done. In a third•-class carriage
was Captain Bridie, who was on his way to join his
ship, the Rob Roy. He was killed on the spot. His
wife and a child four and a half years old, were sit-
ting by his side. The lady received a hurt upon her
head, and had her face disfigured ; but no dan-
gerous consequences are expected. Mr. Percival, of
London, sustained a severe scalp wound, and a
young man, named Morrison, proceeding from Glas-
gow to London, was also hurt internally, but not
seriously. Of course, others received bruises, but
none of them to such an extent as to prevent them
from resuming their journey.

A BURGLAR SHOT BY A LADY.—On the 12th
inst. a burglary was committed at the house of Mr. Nor-
man, of Howich End, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The
entrance was effected through the house shutters, which
were opened with a "jemmy," and three men, armed and
masked, obtained unmolested entrance to the dining-room.
At half-past three Mrs. Norman was disturbed by a strange
Loise, and having listened for a few seconds determined to
leave her bed and discover the cause. She therefore par-
tially dressed herself, and, armed with a revolver, went
down stairs, and upon reaching the front room she found a
man using a lighted candle, wearing a mask. Mrs. Nor-
man fired, and hit the burglar in the breast. The shot
served as an alarm, and instantly the wounded burglar
a as
dragged through the window (bleeding and groaning)__e
y
his alarmed companions, who were on the watch.was
The
effect of the shot was such that the wounded man was
the
room by Mrs. Norman to fall against the wall 11 T o
room, and it is suspected by the police that the
the offenderse wound may
have proved fatal. There are strong hopes that
may be discovered.—Alandiester Guardzan.
