MADRID, JuLI 6.—The capital and the provinces are
tranquil. The insurgents are pursued by the troops
faithful to the Government, and have arrived at Ciudad
Real, on their way to Estramadura, to•gain the Portu-
guese frontier.
The Moniteur contains the following telegraphic de-
spatch
" MADRID, JULY s.—Perfect tranquillity continues
in this city. The insurgents, much discouraged, are
everywhere retreating bafore the Royal troops, who are
pursuing them."
According to advices from Madrid of the 3d, the in-
surgents were still concentrated at Aranjuez, with their
outposts at Cien-Pezuelos.
They had taken up the rails on the railway in several
places.

Two regiments, one )f cavalry and the Aber of infan-
try, had arrived from Valladolid, and the day after a
strong column was to leave Madrid in pursuit of the
rebels.
The diplomatic corps had gone to congratulate the
Queen on the successes gained by her troops on the 30th.
The city was tranquil, and no pronunciamiento had
taken place in the provinces.
The Queen has remitted the capital sentence on Col.
Garrigo, of the Farnese Regiment, who had been sen.
tented by a court-martial to be shot.
From other accounts from Madrid of the 3d, we learn
that the loss of the rebels in the engagement of the 30th
ult. was believed to have been very heavy. The field
of battle was covered with dead and wounded, and a
great number were taken prisoners. Among the latter
were two colonels, who will probably be shot. The
council of war was permanently sitting. Desertion had
set in among the revolters. Every moment officers and
soldiers, deluded by their superior chiefs, made their
submission. The paymaster of the cavalry regiment of
Santiago had surrendered, bringing with him the entire
regimental chest. The rebels, it appears, intended to
march through the province of La Mancha into
I Extremadura, from whence they can easily reach the
frontier of Portugal. Instructians and telegraphic
despatches had been forwarded to the military
authorities at Badajoz to intercept their passage.
Madrid was perfectly calm. Some extraordinary pre-
cautions had been adopted to maintain order, which was
not an instant disturbed. The same tranquillity pre-
vailed throughout the provinces. The most satisfactory
accounts with regard to the disposition of the people had
reached the Government. The authorities everywhere
answered for the maintenance of order. It was reported
that the rebels intended to approach at night the walls of
the capital, and by discharges of musketry to give the
signal of an emeute. The authorities accordingly took
some precautionary measures, but the rebels made no
such demonstration. The garrison had been reinforced
by two regiments—the one of cavalry and the other
of infantry—which had arrived by forced marches
from Valladolid. Those corps were to be allowed two
days' rest, and on the 4th they were to sally out, with a
strong body of the garrison in pursuit of the rebels. The
latter were concentrated at Aranjuez, with their ad-
vanced posts at Cien-Pozuelos. They had destroyed
the railway„ on different points, and removed the rails
on a distance of half a league. The Government had
caused the line to be repaired, and on the sth the ad-
vanced posts of the Royal troops were to be carried to
Valdemoro. The police had discovered a depot of arms
in Madrid, and seized 74 guns, and two bags full of am-
munition.. M. Borrego, who was with the insurgents
at Aranjuez, was arrested, the evening before, on his
return to Madrid, and placed at the disposal of the
authorities.

The Three per Cents. closed to-day at 73f. 5c., and
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 98f. 20c, for the
end of the month.

SOUTHAMPTON', Friday, July 7.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Madrid,
Captain John Weeks, sailed to-day for Vigo,
Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, taking out 31
passengers, a full general cargo, and specie value
35,989/ , of which 3,0001. in sovereigns is for Lisbon,
21,824/. in gold bars, and 10,8651. in sovereigns for
Cadiz. In consequence of the requirements of the Go-
vernment for the transport service, and from the fact
that all the available steamships of large tonnage have
been chartered by the Admiralty for the transporting
troops and military stores, the mail service in the Medi-
terranean has to be conducted with steamers of corn-
paratively small tonnage. The Euxine is accordingly
appointed to take out the East India, China, and Medi-
terranean mails of the 20th inst.
THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT NEWlNGTON.—Yes-
terday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Duke of Suf-
folk, Brandon-street, Newington, respecting the deaths
of Ruth Goss, and Elizabeth Goss, a child four months
old. It has been already stated that the mother and
child were found drowned in a water-butt in the garden
of the house, No. 13, in the above street. Evidence
was given which proved that the mother had wilfully
destroyed her own life and that of her child, and the
jury returned a verdict of " Insanity."

weaver. Deceased occupied a small room on the first
pßflooevotire;rntayal,tgbruNeteonleft of his own accord. Witness visited the
deceased on Friday last, on Which day
he died. The
back-yard was in a most filthy and wretched state, from
which an abominable stench arose. The ground was
covered with soil, which had apparently overflowed from
the privy. 'Witness had never seen the state of the pre-
mises previously. The landlord of the house No. 3, and
the adjoining property, was Mr. Wilson, of Friar's
Mount. Susan Lee, wife of a skewer-maker, deposed
that she rented the front room on the ground-floor. The
privy had been running over with soil for several weeks
past, and the soil reached the threshold of the back
door. The effluvium was overpowering and sickening.
juror said the whole district round Sherwood-place was
without drainage, and if something was not done by
Government for the inhabitants, the sacrifice of life
would be frightful from typhus fever and cholera.
Coroner—So long as cesspools are allowed to exist,
such abominable nuisances would be continued. Mr.
George West, surgeon, of 5, Northampton-place, Hack-
ney-road, was next called, and said ho had been at-
tending the deceased, by order of the parish officers,
for typhus fever and diarrhoea, which caused death
on Friday last. Coroner—What is your opinion as
to the cause of the deceased's death ? Witness—Typhus
fever of the most malignant form. Coroner—Are there
any local causes to account for the disease ? Witness—
Yes, sir ; when I visited the deceased I went into
the back-yard, where the ground was covered with soil,
and I had to walk on planks. I asked Mrs. Lee how
long the place had been in such a state. She said about
five months. There was a hole in the wall of the privy,
through which the soil was oozing. The Coroner re-
marked on the case, which he said was one of great
importance, and showed the want of drainage in that
densely populated parish, where the poor suffered to an
alarming extent. Probably it the attention of the
Board of Health and the Commissioners of Sewers
were directed to the district some improvement would be
made for the protection of the inhabitants. The whole
of the jury concurred in the observations of the learned
coroner, and ultimately agreed to the following special
verdict :—" That the deceased died from typhus fever
aggravated by the filthy state of the premises in which
deceased resided, and the jurors deem it their duty to
call the attention of the inspector of nuisances to con-
tinual examination and cleansing, and to urge on the
Commissioners of Sewers the importance of providing
efficient drainage in that district."
GREAT NORTHERN AND A amERGATE. 'Whatever
difference of opinion may exist as to the value of the
Ambergate to the Great Northern, there can be none on
the ready and unsolicited pledge of the chairman in re-
gard to any contemplated arrangement. It is avowed
that no agreement shall be entered upon, no terms
fixed, no allowance made or favours granted, until the
Great Northern proprietors are fully instructed, and
have had an opportunity of forming an opinion on the
subject. When we can get all boards to act thus to-
wards their proprietors, we shall hear no more of rup-
tures and disputes, of which no one can trace the be-
ginning or descry the end,—A*4M Timm
