SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 2d publishes a return,
from which it appears that the taxes in Spain, in
April, presented a diminution of 4,161,051 reals,
compared with the corresponding month of the pre-
ceding year. In this diminution, 3,096,410 reals
figure for the Customs. The journals contain no
other news. The Ministers had not come to a
definite decision with respect to the concession of
the Northern railway.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—An accident accompanied with
loss of life occurred at the railway Station, Northamp-
ton, on Tuesday morning. On the arrival of the 7.30
train from London at Northampton it is put on one side
until the arrival of a later train from London, when the
passengers are transferred from one train to the other.
A gentleman named M‘Leod, belonging to London,
was walking on the platform by the side of the train,
which was moving very slowly, when he stumbled over
a small box, and fell off the platform, a, distance of about
four feet, and one of the wheels of the carriage passed
over his body. Surgical assistance was immediately
obtained, but proved of no avail ; the unfortunate man
died in about twenty minutes after the occurrence. The
body lies at the Old White Hart, near the station, await-
ing the inquest, to be held.
THE ELECTRIC CLOCIL—Mr. Feitvoye, of Regent-
street, having at length succeeded in obtaining the sanc-
tion of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests for
the erection of this clock, has spiritedly placed it at the
corner of Beak-street, where it is not only an object of
general attraction, but of great public utility. It was
to the perfecting of this clock that Mr. Bain devoted his
genius and labour for so many years.

BANK OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.—The dividend
declared yesterday at the meeting of the Bank of British
North America was at the rate of 6 per cent., and the
report and accounts were unanimobsly adopted. The
whole of the discussion related to trte,favourable posi-
tion of business ; the advantages which •it is anticipated
will be derived from the supplemental charter authoris-
ing a small note circulation ; and to the general financial
progress of the colonies in which the, operations of the
bank are carried forward.
ALARMING FIRE AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.—Yes-
terday morning, shortly before three, o'clock, a fire of a
very alarming nature, and nearly attended with a serious
loss of life, broke out in the premises' belonging to Mr.
R. Downing, licensed victualler, known as the Dyers'
Arms Tavern, situate at No. 7, Webb-street, Bermond-
sey-street, Southwark. The fire commenced, from some
cause that could not be ascertained, in the bar, at which
time the whole of the inmates were in their beds asleep.
The police having awakened the various residents, they
fortunately succeeded in effecting a. safe retreat from the
burning house. The escapes of the Royal Society for
the Protection of Life from Fire were soon on the spot.
as well as the London Brigade and West of England
engines. A plentiful supply of water having been pro.
cured from the mains of the Southwark Company, ti
brigade went to work, and succeeded in extinguishim
the flames, but not until the valuable contents of the
bar were nearly destroyed, the building considerably
damaged by heat, and the remainder of the contents
severely injured by water and smoke. The sufferer, we
are happy to say, was insured in the Alliance Fire-office.
Three other fires occurred during the night, viz., one at
9, Oxford-street, Hackney-road ; another at 49, High-
street, Shadwell ; and the third at 28, Great Windmill-
street, Haymarket, but the damage done at each was so
trifling as not to merit further notice.-

ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Ann Garvas, a good-looking
female, eighteen years of age, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with attempting to drown herself in
the river Thames.

James Harman, watchman and porter in the employ
of a wharfinger at Carpenter Smith's Wharf, Tooley-
street, said that, shortly after four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, he was standing on the wharf, when he saw
the prisoner rush down the public stairs adjoining and
leap into the river, which was very deep at the time.
Witness jumped on board a ship lying at the wharf, and
having lowered a boat, he leaped into it and pusked off
to the female's assistance. After considerable difficulty
he caught hold of her hair, and kept her head above
water until some person's came to his assistance, when
they got her into the boat, and conveyed her ashore.
She was quite insensible, and, by the advice of a neigh-
bouring surgeon, he took her to St. Thomas's Hospital,
where the usual remedies were applied for some time,
and she was restored to animation.
James Hurlem, police-constable 114 M, said he re-
ceived the prisoner in charge at St. Thomas's Hospital
that morning, when she expressed her regret that she
had not been allowed to destroy herself.
Mr. A'Beckett asked her what she had to say for
herself I
She replied that she was extremely sorry for what had
occurred. Her unfortunate way of living had caused
her to attempt the rash act, as she was tired of it, and
did not like to inform her parents, who were respectable
people.
Mr. A'Beckett asked her whether she really wished
to reform her habits of life, and become a respectable
member of society ? She replied in the affirmative.
Mr. A'Beckett said he should remand her until to-
morrow, so that her parents might be made acquainted
with the circumstances, and that something might be
done for her.

TWO DETERMINED SUICIDES BY FEMALES IN THE
THAMES.—Yesterday morning two determined suicides
were committed by two females, who committed self-
destruction by drowning themselves in the River Thames,
off Mill-lane-stairs, Tooley-street, under the following
circumstances :—lt appears that the first case is that of
Catherine Carney, aged 19 years, who resided in Union-
street, Borough, and was observed by the policeman on
duty to be loitering about, which created his suspicion,
when, during his temporary absence, she plunged into
the water. Au alarm was raised, when she was extri-
cated as quickly as possible, and conveyed to Elizabeth
ward, St. Thomas's Hospital, where every means were
used to restore animation, but without effect, as the un-
fortunate woman died shortly after her admission. An-
other woman, whose name is unknown, an acquaintance
of the other, committed suicide by the same means, and
near the same spot ; and although every means were
adopted to rescue her from a watery grave, the parties
were unable to succeed. No cause is at present assigned
for these rash acts. Information was forwarded to the
coroner, but no day has yet been named for the inquests.

FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Alderman COPELAND presented the annual report of
the inspectors of weights and measures, the advantages
of whose active exertions were, he said, deeply felt by
the poor all over the city of London. He regretted to
state that a great number of convictions had taken
place, particularly in those localities where poverty most
prevailed. _ _

- Sir PETER LAURIE said there were no power of which
dishonest shopkeepers were so much afraid as that of
the press, and he accordingly recommended the adop-
tion of the practice of advertising, resorted to in Maryle-
bone, after a second conviction. (Hear, hear:)
The subject is to be resumed.

Mr. P. Thornton, foreman at Sheerness yard. We are
gratified to find that the recent inquiries connected with
promotions in the dockyards are likely to prove bene-
ticial to the service generally—as the selection of the
officers above mentioned is another proof that the pre-
sent Admiralty are really in earnest, the two first-
named (Messrs. Cheesman and Lang) being officers of
great experience and long servitude ; and the third (Mr.
Thornton) an officer, whose zeal, alacrity, and general
acquaintance with the routine of fitting out ships at this
yard have been of the greatest assistance to the com-
manding officers, and have frequently been the theme of
conversation in naval circles at this port, particularly in
the case of the Agamemnon, which was fitted out here
in the, most inclement season of the year in a particularly
short period of time. We trust the officers of Sheerness
yard will now come in for their fair share of promotion
—as in consequence of this not being a borough, this
yard has generally been overwhelmed by the nominees
of the members of the more fortunate ports. It would
be an instructive return for some hon. member of the
House of Commons if he were to move for the number
of officers and clerks promoted and appointed to Sheer-
ness yard during the last twenty years, distinguishing
those who were promoted from Sheerness yard and
those who were sent from other ports and inland
boroughs, &c.
Mr. John Cheesman, liner in the mast-house here for
many years, has bean recommended to the Admiralty
through the captain-superintendent, on the report of the
professional officers to be promoted to an inspector, vice
Betts, superannuated.

SUMMER.—Ladies will find the application of
ROWLANDS' KALY DOR
gratefully refreshing in preserving the delicacy and beauty of the
complexion from the baneful influence of the sun and dust, dispelling
the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability,
and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending rt Stored
elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics
of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleas-
ing and delightful in its effects, Rowlands' Kalydor tends to neutralise
the effects of the atmosphere upon the Skin, and to promote the healthy
action of the minute secretory vessels, by which its general well-
being, and the beauty of its appearance, are so essentially promoted.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

A projet de loi is at the present moment under
the consideration of the Council of State, which
creates some surprise here. The object of it is to
grant a pension to the Princess de la Moskowa,
widow of the unfortunate Marshal Ney ; but it not
only grants her the pension for the future, but gives
her all the arrears from the day of Marshal Ney's
execution. The amount of the arrears is calculated
at 336,000 f. The family of Marshal Ney have cer-,
tainly gained by the restoration of the Empire.
The Prince de la Moskowa is a senator ; two of the
members of the family are receivers general : and
others are provided with well-paid charges at Court,
besides the high rank in the army to which they
have been promoted.
Letters from Venice state that the Comte de
Chambord was to leave that city about the 20th, of
April, after having had an interview with the Em-
peror of Austria; who was expected to arrive in
Venice on the 10th.

Mr. Edward Dubeuf, the eminent portrait
painter, is at present finishing a full-length por-
trait of the Empress for the Exhibition, winch is
to open here on the 15th of May. This is the only
authorized portrait made of her Majesty since her
marriage..

Yest-erday morning the Emperor and Empress
heard mass in the chapel of the Tuileries. After
the mass their Majesties were present at a review
of several regiments about quitting Paris. His
Majesty distributed a number of crosses and medals.
The accounts from Lower Italy are without par-
ticular interest. At Rome the projected voyage
of the Pope to Paris seems to have met with im-
pediments both. from Austria and the Sacro Col-
legio. It is reported that Cardinal Antonelli, who
strongly opposes this trip, finds his position of
Secretary of State somewhat undermined by French
interests. •
At the Bourse yesterday the general rise that
took place in the funds on Saturday was not main-
tained. The Three per Cents., for cash, fell 20c.,
and for the account, 15c. The Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., for cash, advanced 10c. on the closing
price of Saturday ; and Bank Stock, 15f. The
market, before the close of business, had assumed
a generally firm tone. The following are the closing
prices :—For cash : Three per Cents., 79f. 50c. ;
Four-and-a• Half per Cents., 103 f. 40c. For the
account : Three per Cents., 79f. 50c. ; Four-and-

NEW WINDSOR ELECTION.

Mr. GASKELL brought up the report of the New
Windsor Election Committee, declaring that Charles
Wellesley was duly elected for the borough, but stating
that the committee had reason to believe that corrupt
practices had extensively prevailed at the last election.
On the motion that the report be laid on the table,
Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from 120 electors
of New Windsor, praying an inquiry into the practices
at the last election for New Windsor. He said he had
no desire to impugn the decision of the committee, but
he would suggest that, in• addition to the evidence being
laid before the house, it should be printed, in order that
the house might be in possession of the whole circum-
stances connected with the election.

The report was then laid on_ the table, and on the
motion of Mr. CODBEN the evidence was ordered to be
printed.

COUNTY OF wEXFORD ELECTION.

The SPEAKER intimated that he had received a
communication from Messrs. Morris and Sons, parlia-
mentary agents, stating that it was not intended to pro-
ceed with the petition complaining of the return for the
county of Wexford.
