The intelligence from Spain comes down to
the 6th inst. The capture of the fortress of Fi-
gueras by the Royalists is contradicted, and the
Journal des Debals suggests that they may have
occapied the town of that name, which is not
defensible, and the possession of which could have
no influence on the fate of the citadel. An en-
gagement is said to have taken place on the 30th
ult. between Mina's advanced guard and the
Royalists, in which the latter were worsted. It
appears that Colonel Tabuenca, whose ruin was
occasioned by the imprudent eagerness with which
he pursued Quasada, whom he had defeated, and
threw himself into a position where he could be
surrounded, was really shot by the Royalists after
his surrender. The apology for this murder is an
assertion that he had made an attempt to escape ;
but this assertion is disproved by the description
given of the wounds with which he was covered
before he submitted to be taken, and which cer-
tainly must have left him no power to make the
alleged attempt. His defeat is said to have cost
the Royalists six hundred killed and seven hun-
dred wounded. It is re-asserted that General
Mina had avenged his death, by beating the
Army of the Faith, and after taking Cervera,
putting the whole garrison to the sword, and
razing the town to the ground.

THEBI,:HOP OF CLOGHERe-- Mr. FITZPATRICK,
the chief Clerk at the Marlborough-street Office,
has just returned from Ireland, where he has
been in attendance before the Spiritual Court of
the See of Armagh, with the depositions taken at
Marlborough-street in the case of the Bishop of
Clogher. The proceedings in the way of evi-
dence are closed, the usual citations issued, and
the formal deprivation of Percy Jocelyn is on
the eve of taking place.
Our great Michaelmas Fair commenced on
Wednesday, and was uncommonly thronged
with company. The supply of cheese was im-
mense, and the prices at least 3s. higher than was
expected ; one or two particular dairies fetched
475. to 50s. per cwt. ; secondary and inferior qua-
lities went off at from 40s. to 455. per cwt. The
sales, about noon; the first day, were extremely
brisk,and towards evening a considerable clearance
was effected ; of that which remained much was dis-
posed of the next day, and this morning but few
parcels were to be seen upon the stones. The
show of beasts was large, and the prices, except
for calves, were extremely low ; the latter sold
well. Horses of the saddled kind were in
demand, and fetched good prices ; and those of
the draught kind in general obtained better
terms. The light fingered gentry reaped a plen-
tiful harvest.—(Nottingham Journal.)

MOST MELANCHOLY AND AFFECTING ACCI-
DENT.—On Friday morning, as T. JENKINS, Esq.,
of Catherine-court, Trinity-square, London, and
his daughter, Miss SARAII HOY JENKINS, a fine
accomplished young lady, about 18 years of age,
was going to the Isle of 'Wight, in a wherry,
the boat upset whilst in stays, owing to the sheet
of the sail becoming entangled, and the father,
daughter, and watermen were drifted away from
the boat, and remained in the water about twenty
minutes before a boat from his Majesty's ship
Ganges could arrive at the .spot to take them
up. Mr. JENKINS sustained and cheered
his daughter during the whole of the time,
and when the young lady was taken into the
boat, she grasped hold of it and ardently' kissed
her father and preserver ; but, on being conveyed
into the Ganges, it was discovered that the vital
spark had departed
,its fair and graceful abode,
and the agonized parent could embrace only the
inanimate lifeless frame of his tenderly and much
beloved child ! Ills distress of mind,.on the un-
availing result of all the efforts so promptly used
for resuscitation, is indescribable. The two
watermen were saved, and, with Mr. JENKINS,
are recovered from their accident.--(Hampshire
Telegraph.)

DREADFUL SUICIDE IN HYDE PARK.—Satur-
day morning, a young. man, having the appear-
ance of an embarrassed gentleman, was observed
walking about Hide Park, near Cumberland-
gate, in such an agitated manner, as to excite the
attention of passengers. After doing this for
some time he beckoned to a boy, who.proceeded
towards him, an which he presented a letter to
him, and directed, him where to takelt to. • The
boy received some money from the unfortunate
young man, who then walked some distance frrn
Cumberlan&gate, with a hurried step, and pulling
a „large pistol from his pocket, he placed the
muzzle to his mouth, and instantly. pulled the
trigger. His head was completely shattered, his
brains flew in various directions about the Park.
He dropped the pistol, fell back, and it is.almost.
needless to say that he was dead.,. The momen-
Lary sensation was terrific. Several persons -pro-
ceeded towards the corpse ; and information was
carried to St. George's workhowe, Mount-street,
and the body was carried thither in a shell. On
searching the pocket of the deceased,.a letter
was found, directed to a person residing in
Clerkenwell, to whom a communication was fort
warded of the sad event.,
