SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived.
They announce the defeat of the Carlist chief
MAusaL in Catalonia.

The French Minister M. DE LESSEPS presented his
letters of recal to the QUEEN on the 16th.
As we expected, the rumour so industriously cir-
culated that CABRERA had been killed by the troops
of BEP DEL OLI turns out to be without foundation.
In fact, it would appear as if the whole history of that
battle were a fabrication, for the Fomento of Barce-
lona of the 9th states that CABRERA'S wounds having
re-opened, he had given the command of, the insur-
gent forces to four of his chiefs.

FRANKFORT.

The National Assembly of Frankfort, in the sitting
of the 13th, rejected a motion for taking into imme •
diate consideration a proposition to the effect that the
rscal of the members by the different governments
should not be allowed; and that if their indemnity
should be withdrawn, it should be paid by the Trea-
sury of the empire. The Assembly also rejected a
proposition for printing and circulating 100,000
copies of the Constitution. M. Simsort was re-elected
President. Some discussion took place on the abo-
lition of public gambling-houns, but the Assembly
adopted an order of the day maintaining its decree
for the suppression of such places. From what the
Minister of Justice said, however, it is assumed that
the Central Government will not be unwilling to
allow indemnities to be accorded.

THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.

In this quarterly organ of the agriculturists—the
great agricultural authority in the United Kingdom,
and especially throughout Scotland—we seldom
fail to recognise contributions of remarkable
practical utility. In the number just published,
for example, there is one paper of peculiar importance
—the one containing a synopsis of the " Legislative
Measures of the Session of 1848, relative to Agricul-
tural Affairs and Rural Improvement." Mr. Thomas
Rowlandson, of Liverpool,. has moreover greatly
enhanced the value' of the journal, by
contributing a clever " Rationale of the Ap-
plication of Special Manures." The twenty-second
instalment of the " Farmer's Note-book" contains
passages from the pins of Dr. Thomson, of Mr.
Towers, of Mr. Reiss, of Mr. "clay, and others. The
tables of the Revenue—Frio( s of Grain—Average
Prices of Grain—Foreign Markets—Butchers' Meat,
and Wool—are copious and accurate. Besides which
there are seven able reports of the transactions.

THE ILLUSTRATED ATLAS.

Under the editorship of Mr. Montgomery Martin
this new and novel publication is progressing favour-
ably. The second number, just issued, contains
two excellent plates, representing Austria. and
Mexico in maps and marginal illustrations. Thus,
in the first, besides the *lmperial arms of Austria
we have a view of Vienna, a sketch of the Cathedra'
Church of the Capital, St.. Stephen's, and a delinea-
tion of the return of the • Sennerin. While in the
second, we have pictures of gold-washing, of Mexican
peasantry, and of the extraordinary ruins discovered
at Uxmal in Yucatan.

NAVIGATION-LAWS.

The Earl of EGLINTON presented several petitions
against the repeal of the navigation-laws.
Lord STANLEY presented several petitions with a
similar prayer; also some petitions from ♦arious land-
owners praying that the free importation of foreign corn
might b prohibited. It was his intention to give to the
measure the most uncompromising opposition, and he
trusted that no threats and no anticipated difficulties
would prevent their Lordships from throwing out the
Bill, as they could not prevent him from seeking to
throw it out by every means in his power.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented several petitions
in favour of the Bill for the prevention of seduction. He
would postpone the second reading until Monday for•
night.

THE PALACE COURT.

Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to inquire whether
any measure had been taken for the abolition of that
great grievance to the metropolis. He trusted that some-
thing had been done to remedy the evil of such a crying
abuse.—(Hear, hear.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he was in
communication with the Lord Steward of her Majesty's
Household, without whose authority nothing could be
done; but he had reason to believe that an alteration in
the constitution of that Court, or its abolition, would
speedily be effected.—(Hear, hear.)

Intelligence from Naples states that Admiral BAU-
DIN has offend his mediation alone between the King
of NAPLES and the Sicilians, which has been accepted
by the Sicilian House of Peers, without a division ; by
the Sicilian House of Commons, by a majority of 48
to 33. The object of the outcry of Lord ABERDEEN
and Co. is now evident; it was to destroy all Bri-
tish influence in Sicily for the purpose of inflicting
" a heavy blow and a great discouragement" upon
British commercial interests, the sacrifice of which
they ardently desire, because they think commercial
prosperity ir.compatible with landed ascendancy.

THE REPORTER.

We observe that our able contemporary, the Re-
porter, has progressed considerably into a second
volume. It has already acquired in regard to insur-
ance the position attained by the Builder in reference
to architecture. As the only periodical devoted to
the following institutions and societies—the Assur-
ance, Provident, Benevolent, Charitable, Friendly,
Building, and Investment—it is entitled to a very
particular consideration. The information is ample
and well digested, and the leading contributions are
invariably characterised by their intelligence.

ITALY.

The new Roman Constitution was read to the As-
sembly on the 17th by the Deputy AGOSTINJ, and
ordered to be printed.
The Deputy OUDINOT said, that from some remarks
lately made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
France, it appeared that the French Government had
it in contemplation to re-establish the POPE. He
therefore moved that the Assembly should draw up a
manifesto, addressed direct to the Parliaments of
France and England, and also to all the Catholic
Governments, claiming the right of the Roman people
to establish such a form of government as they
thought proper, and the most conducive to their hap-
piness. The Assembly assented to the proposition,
and appointed a Committee for the purpose.
By a decree of the triumvirs the army is to be
raised to • 45,000 or 50,000 men of all arms. The
Government is taking every means for the defence
of the country. Several deserters from the ranks of
General LAMARMORA have landed at Civita Vecchia.
Leghorn has surrendered to the reactionaries, so
that the authority of the Grand Duke may be con-
sidered as re-established in Tuscany.
The Opinione of Turin says that 3,000 Austrians
are about to take possession of Alessandria. The
possession of this fortress will secure to the reac-
tionaries the possession of the passes of the Alps, and
expose France to an Austrian invasion at any time.
It remains to be seen whether the present French
Ministry in their zeal for the restoration will sac rifice
the interests of France to the interests of the dynasty,
and permit the advanced guard of the army of the
Holy Alliance to occupy Alessandria without oppo-
sition.

The Austrian fleet has sailed from Trieste to
blockade Venice.

history of the principles actuating at all times the
Monarch of Austria, that FRANCIS JosErn would
long ago have striven to counteract the selfish in•
trigues of FREDERICK WILLIAM, by intrigues no less
selfish in his own behalf, if not by an open appeal to
arms, and by the defiance of all antagonists. Had
such been the position of the Viennese Cabinet, that
it could have directed the whole of its energies upon
the Maine, Russia would not have remained
passive while the struggle was proceeding.
The AUTOORAT would doubtless have found an
opportunity for siding with the Austrian
EMPEROR, and would doubtless have guaranteed the
Imperial Crown of Germany to FRANCIS JOSEPH, on
the condition that every assistance should have been
subsequently afforded to his own designs upon
Moldo-Wallachia, and through the Danubian pro-
vinces upon the Ottoman empire in general, and the
great city of Constantinople in particular.
The security cf Germany is the fact of the
prevailing embarrassment of her sovereigns.
Prussia is prevented from doing violence to
the national cause through a dread of the
vengeance of contemporaries and the opprobrium
of posterity. Austria is withheld from the same
venture by the perils with which she herself is
already surrounded, and especially by the danger
threatening her from the triumphant legions of Hun-
gary, led on from city to city under the victorious
banners of Louts KOSSUTH. Russia is restrained
from dictating terms to the Confederation through
the pre-occupation of her attention by the events
now transpiring on both sides of the Danube, as well
as through an awe of that great democracy which she
would not tempt again to traverse the desert plains of
Lithuania, to ravage her fields, to massacre her serfs,
to desolate her cities, and to bring the destruction of
fire and sword into the streets of Moscow, and the
saloons of the Kremlin.

At present the duty of Germany is to follow the
advice of WILLIAM of Wirtemburg—to tarry. Pre-
cipitation would be more dangerous than procrastina-
tion. Let Germany pause before she arrives at any
definitive decision, conscious that in so doing the is
best fulfilling her glorious, though temporarily clouded,
destinies.

LITERAT URE.

LIFE lAT TILE FAR WEST.
Frederick Buxton.

By George

Every reader of Blackwood's Magazine will re-
cognise in this agreeable little volume of 312 pages,
the republication, in a collected form, of one
of the most brilliant and iotereding serials
recently introduced into that eminent periodical.
The book is one of the literary children of Maga. Its
author (alas ! that we should sly) was one of
the liegemen of Kirg Christopher.- The pre-
mature and melancholy demise of Lieutenant
George Frederick Ituxton cannot have been yet
forgotten by the generality. The present volume is
the last fruit of his intellect, and is quite of the
stamp of the " Travels in Mexico." It merits a
corner in the library of every lover of travel and
adventure.

WIRTEMBURG.

STUTTGARD, APRIL 23.—The following proclama-
tion was issued by the King of WIRTEMBURG

" Wirtembureere—l have directed the destinies of
our country for thirty-two years; I have never been ac-
tuated by any other motive than that of your happiness
and ;increasing prosperity. You, on your parr, have
given me numerous proofs of confidence and love, in
bad as well as good days, and by your example have
been a model to other nations of a good understanding
between the King and his people. This has been our
glory among our neighbours. It has been my pride and
the constant aim of my
Government. Wirtemburgers I
the times are precarious; our common country as well
as our own country is menaced by great and imminent
dangers; and in such times it is more than ever impor-
tant that we should be of one accord.
" Like yourselves, I desire a powerful and united Ger-
many, and will make every sacrifice to bring about so
desirable an end; all private interests, whether great or
small, must give way to the national welfare.
"The National Assembly has, on its side, terminated
the work of the constitution, but you must bear in mind
that it:is not of one accord with the great Governments
of Germany in several points. I have had nothing what-
ever to do with this complication; it exists, novertheles.,
and both wisdom and foresight, as well as the welfare of
our country, both present and future, demand that we
should patiently and calmly wait for its solution. Rely
upon my princely word, this delay will not be detrimental
either to you or to Germany. A precipitate resolution
will throw everything else back, and iu every case the
solution cannot last very long.
" Wirtemburgera, have confidence in your Ring, who
is so deeply interested in your welfare. Repulse the in-
fluence and the speeches of those revolutionists who wish
to draw you with themselves into the ways of perdition.
" Success to German unity and to the pacific solution
of the work of the Constitution.
(Signed) " WILLIAm."
The reading of this proclamation in the Chamber of
D:puties gave rise to a very tumultuous scene, and a
protest.
The Deputy TYWERGER refused to recognise this
document as official, because it was not countersigned
by any of the Ministers. It was necessary, he said,
that the country should be governed, and proposed
the immediate formation of a committee of fifteen
members to present propositions, and to occupy itself
incessantly with the state of public affairs. The
commission was appointed accordingly, and immedi-
ately assembled.

In the course of the sitting, several addresses,
calling on the Chamber to recognise the constitution
without conditions, were presented. The President
announced that he hal learned from the Ministers
that they intended to send a new address to the KING,
exposing to him the situation, and stating that they
would immediately withdraw if he would not accede

EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES

IN PRIVATE LIFE.

Last year there resided in a house in Russell-street,
in this town, an unmarried lady, named Catherine
WCall. She was young, handsome, and of engaging
manners. With her lived her son, a child two years of
age, both deriving their support from the father of the
boy, who is a gentleman of influence and wealth,
residing in one of the southern counties of
England. The intimacy between the lady and gen-
tleman had commenced in Liverpool, and there
is no doubt they were mutually attached to each
other. The lady wee amply supplied with means,
and from correspondence which took place be-
tween them, it is evident an alliance at no distant date
was contemplated. Unfortunately for all parties, the
lady attracted the attention of Thomas Beesley, the cap-
tain of the Scotia steamer; and ho, although a married
man, so far succeeded in his endeavours as to induce her
to become his mistress. She gave up her house in Liver-
pool, and went to reside with him, at his residence in
Kingstown, near Dublin. She at once assumed his name,
and was treated by him with great apparent kind-
ness. Ho laviehed prevents of valuable pictures upon
her, a large elegant bath, his wife's work-box, and other
costly articles. Matters were likely to have proceeded
very comfortably, but unfortunately the lady intercepted
a letter from the father of her child to ber then para-
mour. She opened it, and found that Captain Beesley
had been writing to her friend and informing him of the
situation the mother of his child then filled. The conse-
quence was, that the father, enraged at the conduct of
tne lady, considered himself released from the further
support of
gether.

any measure had been Liken for the abolition of that
great grievance to the metropolis. He trusted that some-
thing had been (bile to remedy the evil of such a crying
abuse.—(Hear, hear.)

Household, without whose authority nothing could be
done; but he had reason to believe that an alteration in
the constitution of that Court, or its abolition, would
speedily be effected.—(Hear, bear.)

as at the present moment.— (Hear.) He had been
asked what was to be the second terminus, Calcutta
being one. The second terminus had not been defined
yet ; but he could state to them that it was intended to
leave the direction of the line, and the second terminus
to:be decided on by the Governor-General of India, both

THE BANKERS'.

Our excellent contemporary fully maintains in the
present number the high character it has already at-
tained. The first paper is a clear and well-written
article on "The Influence of a Convertible Paper
Currency," which completely upsets the fallacies of
those who support the restrictions on banking intro-
duced by the Act of 1844. There is also a notice of
the new " British Bank," by means whereof it is in-
tended to introduce the Scotch system of banking
into the metropolis. The concluding portion of the
article is worthy of notice. It says, " Such, briefly
stated, are our views in respect of the consti-
tution, and prospects of the British Bank.
It comes into the world in the twenty-fourth year of
joint-stock banking in England, and ht.s, therefore,
the instructive experience of that period to direct its
course by. We hope and believe that that course
will be a prosperous one, and therefore we bid the
adventurers welcome. Under a wise direction and an
able management it cannot fail to take a prominent
rank amongst the great banking establishments of
the country." We miss the letters of Thomas Bul-
lion, which in a pleasing style conveyed much sound
information to the banking community. The sug-
gested " Code of Instructions" for the guidance
of the officers at the branches of a joint-stock
bank will, however, prove a good substitute.
Additional light is thrown on the Savings Banks
question by the paper " on the recent frauds at the
Brighton and Margate Savings Banks," which prove
that defalcations and mismanagement, in these
valuable institutions, are not peculiar to Ireland. The
most interesting article, however, is the " Review of
the Practical Working of the Act of 1844," which
shows how utterly inadequate that mischievous
statute has proved for the evils it was intended to
remedy, and exposes its injurious results with a
master hand. There is also a variety of useful
information on various sulijects. The paper " On
Banking and Commercial Law" is also viorthy of
notice.
London, England, 1849-04-10

LYCEUM.

Mr. Planehe has produced for the Easter offering
at the Lyceum one of the best burlesques he has ever
written. It is entitled The Seven. Champions of
Christendom, and as each champion represents a
" separate nationality" (to use a Lamartinism)
various opportunities are afforded of making telling
hits, opportunities wh;ch none know better how to
turn to witty account than Mr. Planche. Among

the most successful of these hits were those of SK
James of Spain, and St. Patrick of Ireland. St.
James expressing a doubt whether it is not almost
better to be in Spanish bonds than a bondholder, and
St. Patrick exclaiming—
" St. Patrick, I, from Ireland, I suppose;
What to do with it Heaven only knows."
The Seven Champions are thus represented :—St.
George of England, Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam; St.
Denis of Prance, Miss Louisa Howard; St. David of
Wales, Miss Marshall; St. Anthony of Italy, Mrs.
C. Horn ; St. James of Spain, Miss De Burgh ; St.
Andrew of Scotland, Miss J. Coleman ; St. Patrick
of Ireland, Miss Gale. St. George has an attendant
in the person of Charley Wag, Esq. (Mr. Chas. Ma-
thews), who rattles through the part in most voluble
style, and sings,a couple of songs full of out•of the-
way jingling rhymes and quaint conceits in his own
peculiar rattling rapid fashion. The other knights
have also their respective attendants, represented by
Messrs. Harley, John Reeve, 11. Hall, and Selby.
The latter gentleman represents the attendant on St.
Denis, a certain M. Aille de Pigeon, who, having
been bambonz!ed by M. Cabet to travel in search of
Icaria, has been plundered not only of his money but
of his clothes, while his plunderers not only rob him
but accuse him of being himself the thief, because
"All property is theft.
No man is right till he has nothing lett!"

Ills making up of the part was admirable. He was
the very beau ideal of one of those Socialists who in
easquette and blouse fought behind the barricades of
Paris in June, 1848. The scenery, by W. Beverley,
is not only magnificent and gorgeous, but each
scene is a perfect work of art. Mr. Beverly
seems destined to revive the days of Stanfield
and David Roberts. The last scene of the first
act, representing an enchanted lake, is one of the
most exquisite things ever seen. It is equal to any-
thing that Turner has ever painted. The perspec-
tive of this truly beautiful scene is marvellous. The
last scene of the burlesque, in which the long line of
tents, ornamented with the blazonry of the cham-
pions, is seen stretching long into the:distance, is also
wondrous, considered merely as a work of art, while
as a piece of gorgeous magnificerce, this last scene
has never been surpassed. The piece was completely
successful, and the author and principal artistes were
called for at its close. The music of the burlesque
does great credit to the taste of Mr. Tully. The
medley overture was encored. The house was
crowded to excess.
