MADRID, 16th.—The Gazette will to•morrow
publish the nomination of General Zabala as Cap-
tain-General of Castille, and that of General San
Miguel as Inspector of Cavalry. Generals Ler-
sundi and Turron have arrived at Madrid. The
police have visited and searched an hotel, where
they supposed they should find M. Soule.
General Narvaez went from Loja to Malaga,
where he was received with the honours due to his
military rank, and embarked on the 11th for Mar-
seilles.
General O'Donnell was taken ill very suddenly
on the 14th while giving audience at the War-office.
The complaint is stated to be bilious cholic ; but
whether cholic or cholera, he soon recovered from
it, and is now doing well.
A Royal decree has been published annulling the
decree published by the preceding Government, by
which the order of Gerouimitan Friars was re-esta-
blished at the Escurial. The preamble to it is
signed by all the Ministers.
General Shelly has resigned the Captaincy-Ge-
neral of Granada, and General Iloyos is gazetted
in his place.
The Augsburg Gazette informs us that the insur-
rectionary party in lower Albania and Thessaly is
again lifting its head. Between the 12th and 15th
of August the robber chief Skalyojanni was at Ra-
dovitzi, in Epirus (where the revolution com-
menced), with 500 men ; Grivas is with 1,500, and
Katarathia with 600 men in Thessaly. If Sebas-
topol should fall, we shall probably hear nothing
more of these heroes, and soon learn that his Ma-
jesty King Otho has become more tractable.

THE SWELL MOB AT BANCHORY.—A few of those
speculative individuals who set at nought.the ordinances
which regulate the rights of property, availed them-
selves of the opportunity afforded by her Majesty's visit
to Banchory to astonish the natives by their dexterous
manipulation. From one man's pocket the circulation
of the current coin was illegally accelerated, while an-
other man, looking to the safety of his own purse, drew
forth the empty one of his neighbour, which the wily
artist had transferred to his custody after appropriating
the contents. "The public attention" of Banchury was
immediately called to these mysterious events, and the
result was the capture of the delinquents. After her
Majesty's departure a court of justice was improvised
for the trial of the offenders by some of the county ma-
gistrates who were in attendance, and the prisoners
were arraigned. Their worships, however, had no
clerk, and their desire to vindicate the outraged law was
likely to prove unavailing ; but from this dilemma they
were relieved by the offer of a gentleman connected
with the local press to take down the evidence. The
testimony of the complainants having been duly re-
corded, the magistrates proceeded to attach their sig-
natures to the depositions, but their dismay was very
great on finding the page covered with those wild-look-
ing and flighty memorials which are called into exist-
ence by the pen of the stenographer. Their worships
could make nothing out of the manuscript but hooks
and eyes and quaint figures of less simple proportions,
and they suggested that the stenographer should copy
out the notes for their enlightenment. They declined,
however, to say that they would reward him for his
trouble ; and on his refusal to perform the work gratui-
tously, the only course remaining for their adoption
preparatory to the committal of the offenders was to
affix their names to a mysterious document, the contents
whereof had baffled the keenest efforts of their in-
tellect.

. THE AUTHORSHIP OF JUNIUS.—Mr. W. Cramp is pre-
paring for press a brief memoir of Solomon Dayrolle,
Esq.,the godson and intimate friend of the celebrated
Earl of Chesterfield ; also some account of Mrs. Christa-
bella Dayrolle, the amanuensis of Junius. A memoir of
the presumed confederates of Junius must be considered
a dcsiderat um by all who feel an interest in the dis-
covery of the great political satirist, since Junius, who-
ever he was, must have had one or more confidential
persons to assist him.— Critic.
PAISLEY SANITY.—In the Registration Court, Paisley,
the question was incidentally mooted whether confine-
ment of an elector in a madhouse was a sufficient reason
, the name of the unfortunate individual
ff',):,e.,xtPlingn!!l. One gentleman declared most emphati-
i eally, that if madness was a disqualifying circumstance,
! at least one-half of the electors on the roll were liable to
I have their names Amok off,--.Paisley Journal,
