SPAIN.
PROGRESS OF THE INSURRECTION,

Advices from St; Sebastian, of the 18th, received
in Paris this morning, state that the municipality
of that town has pronounced in favour of the in-
surrection. The National Guard was being armed.
Brigadier Barcastique, an aide-de-camp of Espar-
tero, had been appointed governor of Guipuscoa.
General Zabala had passed the troops in review.
The soldiers shouted, " Long live the Queen !"
" Long live the Constitution !" "Death to the
Ministers !"

No more murders had taken place. Some mis-
creants, taken in the act of setting fire to manufac-
tories, were shot on the spot.
Saragossa, Gerona, and Lerida, have adhered to
the pronunciamento.
PAU, July 18.—At Sanz, near Barcelona, some
blows have been exchanged.
A Republican committee was organized at
Mataro.

The members have been imprisoned.
A letter from Madrid, from a Ministerial source,
asserts that, in spite of the effects of the friends of
the insurrection, perfect tranquillity prevailed at
Madrid. The authorities, however, had deemed it
necessary to publish a proclamation, prohibiting,
under the most rigorous penalties, the spreading of
false news, tending to keep up alarm; and de-
claring that public-houses should be closed at ten
o'clock, and cafes at midnight. " These precau-
tions," acids the letter, " were indispensable ; and
they will prevent disturbances."
The Three per Cents, were done at 35.50; the
New Three per Cents., at 18.65 ; and the Debt of
the First-class, at 9.50.

The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, and the youth
ful Ladies Montagu Scott, have left Montagu House,
Whitehall-gardens, for his Grace's villa at Richmond,
where the noble Duke and family intend to remain
until the close of the month, and then depart for Scot-
land.

The Marquis of Breadalbane left Park-lane yesterday,
for Buxton Wells, en route to Scotland. The Mar-
chioness has left London, on a visit to her near relation,
Geo. Baillie, Esq., at his seat, in Newton Stewart,
where the noble Lord Chamberlain will joinher ladyship,
and then proceed to Taymouth Castle.
Viscountess Stratford de Redcliffe and the Hon. Misses
Canning have arrived in Grosvenor-square, from visiting
Mr. Vernon Harcourt and the Countess Frances Walde-
grave, at Nuneham Park.
Sir Wm. G. G. enflaming, Bart., of Altyre, and Lady
Gordon Cumming and family have reached Edinburgh,
on their way to Gordonstown. The hon. baronet has
entirely recovered from the effect of the late accident
which befel him in London.
RUMOURED DEATH OF PRINCE PASKIEWITCH.—The
Pi-esse of Vienna publishes the following in a letter from
Warsaw, of the Bth instant :--" It is at this moment
announced that Prince Paskiewitch has died on his
journey to Hommel, and while in the neighbourhood of
Zytomir, in Volhynia." The statement needs con-
firmation.
THE CHARTER-HOUSE.—A notice, signed by Mr.
Walker Skirrow, jun., has been issued for a meeting of the
Inspector of the Charity Trusts Act, to be held at the
Charter-house on Wednesday, the 19th inst.--" for the
purpose of inquiring into the constitution and conditions
of the Charter-house, and into the valuation and applioa-
tion of the estates, funds, property, and income belong.
ing thereto."

I ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gen-
tlemen, having undergone the necessary examinations
for the diploma, were admitted members of the col-
lege at the meeting of the court of examiners on the 17th
inst. :—Messrs. Nathaniel Norris, Liverpool ; Edward
Russell, Liverpool ; Thomas Jerram Orton, Guelph,
Canada West ; Alexander Irvine, Aberdeen ; William
Wilson, Royal Navy ; William Murray Dobie, Chester ;

THE CASE OF ABDUCTION IN CORK.—The Cork Exa-
miner of yesterday says :—" John Walsh, the person
charged with the abduction of Miss Spillane, was brought
up at the police-office this morning, and remanded until
three o'clock, at which hour Mr. 112`Namara stated that
the prisoner would be discharged, if further evidence
was not produced. Though the most vigorous and un-
ceasing search has been continued up to the present time,
the friends of the fugitive have failed to discover the
slightest trace of the place of her concealment, and it is
stated that Walsh is determined not to afford them the
slightest information upon the subject until some satis-
factory arrangement can be agreed upon. On the occa-
sion of each visit to the police-office, the prisoner is gene-
rally followed by two or three hundred of the female
residents of the Coal-quay and adjoining localities, and
on his return is accompanied by an escort of an equally
imposing character."
LAYING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE FIRST
"RAGGED CHURCH" IN LONDON.—On Monday afternoon
an interesting service was held in connexion with the
laying of the foundation stone of a place of worship about
to be erected in King Edward-street, Mile-end, New
Town, intended for the sole and exclusive use of the
lowest class of the poor. After singing and prayer, an
appropriate address was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Cor-
bin, of the Old Tabernacle. Mr. Merrington, the hon.
secretary, on behalf of the committee, then requested the
Rev. W. Tyler to lay the stone, which he proceeded to
do amidst the acclamations of the large assembly.
FIRE IN NEWINGTON.—A fire, resulting in the total
destruction of the building and its contents, broke out
yesterday morning, about two o'clock, on the premises
known as the "British Queen" public-house, East-
street, Old Rent-road. The inmates escaped by the
roof, without injury. The loss, which is considerable,
falls on the County Fire-office.

MELBOURNE.—The letters from Melbourne by the Gol-
den Age, via Panama, are to the sth of May, and conse-
quently of six weeks' later date than those last received by
the Chusan. The news from London of the anticipated de-
claration of war had caused a rise of 2 per cent, in the
rate of exchange, while, owing to the war premium on
shipments, gold had remained nearly stationary. Not-
withstanding a large consumption at the mines, the im-
port markets were extremely heavy, all the stores being
filled, and a ()Teat number of loaded ships being still in
the bay. "This large amount of goods," it is remarked,
" must either be returned, held for a favourable market,
or sacrificed at a ruinous price." Money was much in
demand, and discounts had advanced to 7 and 8 per cent.,
but, although there had been many failures among the
newly-arrived and most speculative merchants, no in-
stance had occurred with any house of standing. The
Sydney dates are to the 11th of May, and 52 days
later than those previously to hand. The Maid of
Judah sailed simultaneously with the Golden Age,
and had on board 18,598 ounces of golddust, worth
74,3921., and 13,6331. in sovereigns, making a total
of 88,0251. The Nile had sailed on the 20th of April
from Sydney with 17,319 ounces, valued at 69,276/. ;
and the Marion Moore is stated to be on her way from
Melbourne with 36,000 ounces, valued at 144,000/.
Both from Sydney and Melbourne sovereigns are now
being freely returned, and 3,290 were included in the
45,256/. of gold shipped by the Golden Age. From

to 10 per cent. The last quotation of the latter was

CITY COMMISSION OF Szwras.—Yesterday the com-
m issioners assembled at Guildhall, Deputy Peacock in
th e chair. Several owners of property, amongst whom
were the Grocers' Company, were summoned for not
having complied with the notice to do the required
works of drainage and water supply to their premises.
In all the instances, orders were issued to the effect
that if within seven or fourteen days the necessary
work should not be done, the servants of the commis-
sion should proceed at once to carry it into execution.
The medical officer of health complained that in a
few instances in which orders bad been issued to
proprietors to perform works of drainage and water
supply within seven days, a period of seven weeks
had actually expired without any perceptible effect
of the authority of the commissioners. The viola-
tions of the sanitary rules, were, to be sure, but rare ;
but at such a time as the present, owing to a variety
of circumstances, a strict adherence to the issued
directions was indispensable, and the medical officer
advised the court to issue peremptory orders forth-
with. The court gave directions to the inspectors to
enforce the observance of the regulations in every in-
stance. Mr. Goldhain, jun., attended the court to ex-
plain the course taken in the destruction of bad fish
which had been seized, and stated that it was the custom
to have the whole of the objectionable fish removed
by a Mr. Allen, a manufacturing chemist, for the
purpose of manure, and carried away to the manu-
factory at the Isle of Dogs, agreeably to an arrange.
ment made by the markets committee. A rate was
ordered to be made for the ensuing half-year at Bd.
in the pound, and it was stated that in consequence
of the cemetery and other unavoidable expenses, the

also for the drainage of part of the cemetery. There was
no case of cholera reported.
THEATRE ROYAL, MARYLEBONE.—This theatre, though
not crowded, has its fair share of patronage. Wright,
the popular comedian, is convulsing the frequenters of
the establishment with his Tristam Sappy, Binks the
in The Spitalfield Weaver. He
Bagman, and Simmons,
is well seconded by a compact and efficient, though
small, company, and the persevering manager, Ur. C.
