SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the sth are destitute of news
of interest. The ministry was still incomplete, but M.
Sartorius (Count de San Luis) was spoken of for the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Marquis de Viluma
was, it was said, likely to succeed the Marquis de Val-
degamas as ambassador at Paris. General Narvaez had,
it was stated, formally expressed the desire to return to
his seat at Loja without entering Madrid. Orders had
been received at Cadiz to fit out the war steamer Pizarro
with all dispatch for a government mission ; some per-
sons believed that it was destined to go to Mexico—
others, to proceed to Italy to convey the King of
Bavaria to Spain. The latter version was considered
the more probable. The Stock Exchange was not open
on the sth, being Ascension Day.

ITALY.

The Assemblee Nationale newspaper announces that
the French Government has been informed by M. de
Lacour that the question of. the Holy Places has been
finally settled, and that questions of secondary import-
ance only will form the subjects of further negotiations.
The same journal states that the differences between
Austria and Sardinia are tending to an amicable settle-1
went, that the Sardinian Ambassador will return to
Vienna, and that the refugees who are naturalised in
Sardinia will be freed from the consequences of the se-,
questration.
The Parlament° of Turin of the 17th states from Flo-
rence that the international committee for the construc-
tion of the railway of Central Italy, that is now sitting
at Modena, is getting the line now surveyed, and that
the works are to commence very shortly. The share-
holders have already complained very loudly of the de-
lay, and the second instalment of one•twentieth has
been refused upon 18,000 shares.
The Giornale di Roma of the 3d publishes a decree of
the Congregation of the Index condemning six new
works, viz. :—"Critical Observations on the Gospel,"
by Bianchi Giovani ; " Motives which have induced me
to leave the Roman Church," by Trivier ; "The Situa-
tion of the Gallican Church with respect to the ' Droit
Coutumier,' " a pamphlet addressed to the Episcopacy
of France; "Institutions of Dogmatic Theology, by
the Abbd Criscuoli ; "Defence of the authority of Go-
vernment against the pretensions of the Court of Rome,"
by Francisco Vigil, Lima, 1852 ; and "An Address to
Pope Pius IX., on the necessity of Religious Reform,"
by the Abbe Thions. The latter, it is added, has made
his submission.

It is stated that the Austrian Embassy at Rome is
about to be replaced on its original splendid footing.
An Ambassador will be appointed, and a regular service
of couriers will be re- established which will bring
dispatches every week to the Austrian Ambassadors at
the different Courts of Italy, as was done before 1848.

SECONDARIES COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
JOB V. RICHARDS.
The plaintiff in this action is a wholesale stationer, in
Bread-street, and sought to recover the sum of 121.
9s. 6d. for goods, sold and delivered.
Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Wordsworth for the defendant, who pleaded that he was
not indebted. _ •

The facts were of rather a peculiar nature. It ap-
peared by the evidence that the plaintiff carried on busi-
ness under the style of "Job and C 0.," although he had
no partners, and he had done some printing, and sup-
plied goods to defendant. who was alleged to have given
the orders for the supply. Plaintiff swore that he was ap-
plied to both by.def-mdant and his brother, and was con-
sulted as to the best mode of carrying out the business,
and he plaintiff, recommended that it should be carried on
under the style of " Richards and C 0.," and a shop was
opened at Hailshead, Essex. The establishment, how-
ever, soon came to a stand-still, and George Richards
went to Australia, and the present action was brought
against " James," who it was alleged concurred in the
orders given, and in fact selected most of the articles
supplied, and acted as a partner.
Mr. Wordsworth contended that there was no part-
nership, and that the credit had been given solely to
George Richards, and that the "and Co. was the sub
gestion of the plaintiff himself, who therefore knew the
George was the only party liable.

The defendant was sworn and stated that he never
had been a partner with his brother—that he was only
a servant, but having had more experience in shop-
keeping, he accompanied his brother to select.
The learned Secondary said, that whether defendant
was a partner or not was not very material to the pre-
sent question—it bad been distinctly sworn that ho had
given the orders. If the jury believed the evidence for
the plaintiff, they had no other course to pursue but to
give a verdict for the amount claimed.
The jury gave a verdict for the 121. 9s. 6d.

LAND TAX.

Mr. WODEHOUSE wished to put a question to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, relating to the proposed
measure for giving increased facility to the act for the
Redemption of the Land Tax, viz. :—Whether the mea-
sure now proposed is intended to supersede, or in any
way to preclude the consideration of the question of a
periodical revision ; also, whether a more extensive
inquiry should not now be made, by means of which the
evils complained of might be in a great degree lessened,
without infringing on the benefits already realised by re-
demption.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
measure now proposed was intended only to facilitate
the redemption of the land tax, and it was not intended
that any further inquiry should be made with a view to
a readjustment of the tax.

THE LATE DUKE OF TVELLINGTON'S WILL,

In consequence of the determination of the Earl of
Derby, the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli (the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer), and the Right Hon. Charles
Shaw Lefevre (the Speaker of the House of Commons), to
renounce the executorship of the late Duke of Wellington s
will, letters of administration were granted by the Prero-
gative Court of the province of Canterbury, on the sth
instant, to his son, the present duke, and his grace has
since accepted the trust. The will seems to have been
written under very peculiar circumstances, upwards of 35
years ago, and with that promptitude and decision which
marked almost every act of his grace's life ; but at the
same time displays evident traces of the agitation under
which it was drawn up. The will is dated February 17,
1818, and was written in Paris by the Duke himself, who
accounts for that circumstance in the following remark
which forms the preamble :—" An attempt having been
made to assassinate me on the night of the 10th inst. (Feb.
10, 1818), which may be repeated with success, and being
desirous of settling my worldly affairs, and there being no
professional person in Faris to whom I can entrust the
task of drawing my will, I now draw it myself in my own
handwriting." His grace then directs that an annuity of
1,0001. shall be paid to his second son, Lord Charles
Wellesley, who, however, has the option of claiming a sum
of 20,0001. as an equivalent. Apsley House, and the fur-
niture therein, money invested in the funds and Exchequer
Bills, are thus to be disposed of :—The money is directed
to be laid out in the purchase of an estate, which, together
with Apsley House and its contents, are given to the pre-
sent duke for life, with remainders over to his issue, and,
in default of issue, to Lord Charles Wellesley, and his issue
in like manner. In case of the death of both (the present
duke and Lord Charles Wellesley), without heirs male, the
property passes over to the descendants of the brothers of
the late duke. Certain personal estate, which his grace
designates as " money given me by the nation," or any
estates which may be purchased with such money, are
directed to pass, under trusts very similar to those of the
foregoing property, Apsley House first going to the
children of the duke, and on their deaths, leaving no issue,
to the children of his brothers. The wording of the will
is very involved, and the residue, which, owing to the
lapse of time, must have greatly accumulated is umlis-
posed of.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the sth are destitute of news
of interest. The ministry was still incomplete, but M.
Sartorius (Count de San Luis) was spoken of for the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Marquis de Viluma
was, it was said, likely to succeed the Marquis do Val-
degamas as ambassador at Paris. General Narvaez had,
it was stated, formally expressed the desire to return to
his seat at Loja without entering Madrid. Orders had
been received at Cadiz to fit out the war steamer Pizarro
with all dispatch for a government mission ; some per-
sons believed that it was destined to go to Mexico—
others, to proceed to Italy to convey the King of
Bavaria to Spain. The latter version was considered
the more probable. The Stock Exchange was not open
on the sth, being Ascension Day.

FRACAS AT A CRESS DINNRR.—The Northern_ and
Midland Counties Chess Association having held their
first annual meeting at Manchester on Friday and Satur-
day last, dined together at the close of their proceed-
ings on the latter day. In responding to the toast of
"The Strangers," Sir George Stephens, of Liverpool,
alluded to the challenges which were continually passing
among players, and on behalf of Mr. Staunton, named
terms upon which that gentleman would challenge the
whole world, in order that he might clear up a doubt
which had been cast upon his claim to be reckoned
the first player in Europe. They were that the
stakes should be 2501. each if the player resided abroad,
and 1501. or 1001., at the choice of the party, if he re-
sided in England ; the play to take place at a private
hotel, in the presence of three friends of each player only.
A gentleman in the room asked Mr, Staunton why he
had not accepted a challenge given to him in Bell's Life
lately t Mr. Staunton, without giving any reasons,
proceeded to speak of a challenge made in Bell's Life
and refused, and said that a foreigner in the room (Herr
Lowenthal, it was understood) put forth a challenge
which Herr Harrwitz had not the manliness to accept, or
the acceptance of it was so contemptible that it was worse
than a refusal. On this Herr Harr Nitz rose in a state
of great excitement, and left the room.
