Wit Lin. the last three days letters have been received from
Espartero, stating that unless money and supplies were-im-
mediately provided, he could not answer for the subordination
of the troops, and that as the Ministers and their journals had
attacked and ridiculed him, he should be under the necessity
of publishing a manifesto to explain his conduct, and the mo-
tives of his resignation. This being urgent, the Queen sent
for the Finance Minister, Mon, who protested that he had not
a farthing to give to the army, nor any meanspf raising even
a little cash. Her Majesty, therefore, from her own private
resources, or from those of her friends, scraped together
6,000,000 reels, which were paid by the Bank to.. M.O Mon,
who, as you already know, sent 4,000,000 oh-, litoticlay to
Espartero, 1,500,000 to Oraa, and the remaining'pod;ooo to
Narvaez.
The Queen wrote a most flattering and soothing letter to
Espartero, announced the-speedy arrival of money, and invited
him to Madrid to chose a Ministry to his own taste, which he
had before declined, not wishing politically to commit himself.
What enrages his enemies here most is his design of publishing
a manifesto, which according to the last accounts, he has not
given up ; and unless large sums of money are soon provided,
the subordination of the army will be at an end. General Van
Halen was still at Madrid last night.
The distress of the Government is increased by bills on
the Havannah to the amount of from 60,000.000 to 70,000,000
(600,0001. to • 700,0001.) having been protested,-after being
accepted by the Intendant Parolles, Conde de Villa Nueva,
who was to raise a loan among the merchants, as he has
successfully practised it on former occasions, until the re-
ceipts of the Government revenues coma tound. In the
present instance he tried to borrow 50,000,000 reels, but
having lost the good will and the support of the merchants
by imposing fresh and heavy duties upon the importation of
articles of the first necessity, such as flour, &c. he collected
no more than 47,000 dollars on account of his intended loan ;
in consequence of which the bills due in June were disho-
noured, and those falling due in July were expected to meet
the same fate, and by coming back with costa and damages,
to ruin entirely what little piper credit M. Mon still pos-
sessed, and prevent his negociating any hereafter. Some of
the holders of these bills cashed them at a discount of from
20 to 25 per cent., and ruined collateral securities of bills
upon the diezmos (tithes) in the Peninsula. forestalled three
deep, which will blow up both these financial kite-flying
resources, often advantageously resorted to in times of Ail .
culty. It is, therefore, high time that either the 500,000,000
loan, or the advances on the -Almaden Mines, should be
realized. _ _

The Eco of this very day accuses M. Mon of squandering
the country's money upon " dos vinditas muy favoricidas"
(two little much.favoured widows), who have assignments'on
the Havannah not only of their pensions, but also for arrears,
and whilst the widows and orphans -pf military officers in
despair are starving, one of these receives 5,000 dollad 'from
the retrograde ordinance • Justice Ministers. The party thus
anonymously alluded to is the little widow of Don Domingo
Torres, lately deceased—a great strapping woman, the favourite
of half a dozen consecutive Ministers,' and the queridei of
Senor Mon now, who confers daily with-her, no doubt bn,sub-
jects of finance. .
It is reported here that the Marquii de Miraflorei, the
Spanish Ambassador Extraordinary at the coronaiion of
Queen Victoria, took upon himself a work of supererogation
whilst in London—to explain eto Lord Palmerston the true
spirit and meaning of t'he Quadruple Alliance treaty, of which
he had the glory of being the author, negociator, and emenda-
tor, in 1834, but that his glossa and annotatiuncuke being some-
what offensive t') his Lordship, the latter reproached him with
partiality to France, and threatened that if the. Moderado Mi-
nistry continued to proced in this injurious way, England
would secede from the Quadruple Alliance, and leave them to
shift for themselves as they might or could under the pa-
tronage of French sympathies, but insist on the reimbursement
of British arms and ammunition furnished to Spain, as well
as the expenditure of the British ships of war on the north
and Mediterranean coast of Spain, and that Count Ofalia has
in consequence thereof severely reprimanded Miraflores for
departing from his instructions as a mere Ambassador of ce-
remony, and by impertinently interfering in what did not con-
cern him at all. Thus we have nothing but disturbances in
the Cabinet here, and among its agents abroad, and in the
camp and at head-quarters with more serious ones staring us
in the face. It was no trifling disquietude that made the Queen
Regent, who is a great economist, pull her purse strings,
or loosen those of her intimates. The affairs of Logien°
wear a very serious aspect, and those of Estella the same.
The plans of the Moderados and pure Royalists are equally
disheartening, and the successes in the field are generally
exaggerated and lead to no result. Guillalde and Ramos
have been taken and shot in Gallicia—a mere drop of
water in the sea.

The want of money is dreadful, the expected relief but
temporary. On the Bourse there was, as usual, not one cash
transaction.— Times.

BRITISH MUSEum.—Yesterday the reading rooms
of this national establishment were closed in order to afford
time for making adequate arrangements previous to the
opening of new reading rooms in the British Museum.
The public will b..; in consequence excluded until the 7th of
September. The entrance to the new reading rooms of the
Museum will be in Montagu-place, and not at the grand en-
trance in Great Russell-street.

Acting the play of Hamlet, with the part of
Hlmlet omitted, has long been a standing joke ; but some-
thing of this kind was realised last week at the Chichester
Theatre, when Othello was really acted without a Desde-
mona.

This is the anniversary of that memorable event in
the year 1807, when Copenhagen surrendered to the English
fleet, commanded by Lord Nelson, who exhibited on the oc-
casion great skill, uncommon address, and great presence of
mind.

RA IN WITHOUT CLOUDS.—M. Arago has received
a letter from M. Wartmann, that on the 31st of May last, at
7h. 2m. p.m., rain fell at Geneva for six minutes, though the
sky was perfectly clear in the zenith, and no clouds in the
immediate neighbourhood of it. At first the drops were
large and the rain was thick, but both became thinner to-
wards the end. The rain was lukewarm, and the thermome-
ter just above the ground stood at 18 deg. 15 cent. During
the day there had been frequent alternations of wet and dry.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.— This morning, between
nine and ten o'clock, as two persons, named Alexander Wil-
kinson and James Charnock, were proceeding in a cab at
rather a rapid rate along the Edgeware-road, the horse
slipped and fell, and they were thrown out with such violence
that Wilkinson received a frightful fracture of the skull, and
bad his right arm broken above the elbow. Charnock was
dangerously injured in the spine, and had his shoulder dislo-
cated. The cabman did not receive the slightest injury, al-
though thrown to a considerable distance.—Courier of last
night. [Our contemporay has been imposed upon. This pa-
ragraph was sent to us at least two days ago, but we de-
clined inserting it, believing it to be a mere invention of one
of those purveyors of news who draw upon their imaginations
for their facts, and tend to bring into discredit the more scru-
pulous members of the body to which they belong. We
notice the circumstance now to put our contemporary on his
guard against being imposed upon again by the same party.]
—Morning Post.
The following case of infanticide will be tried shortly
before the tribunal of Konigsberg :—A young woman, de-
prived of all support by the sudden death of her husband, and
having a child about two years of age, engaged herself as
servant to a farmer at Saalfeld. In a day or two the farmer
ordered the young woman to quit his service, or to place
her child elsewhere, as it was a useless burden, and took her
from her work. Without friends, without protection, the
unfortunate woman absented serself for a day, and then re-
turned, stating that she had left her child with some relations.
A short time afterwards, one of the farmer's dogs was observed
to be gnawing a human bone; he was immediately locked up,
and kept for two days without food, and, when let out, was
seen to take to the woods. He was followed, and there were
found in the forest the mangled remains of the child of the
young woman in question, who, it appeared, had murdered it
in despair at the idea of losing her place.— Galignani's Mes-
senger.

Yesterday morning some workmen employed in ex-
carafng the ground for the foundation of an addition to the
London Gas Works in the Vauxhall-road, turned up a human
skull at the depth of five feet from the surface. On examina-
tion it proved to be that of a young female. Rumour is,
of course, busy in conjecturing how the relic came into
that spot, which it appears was at one time a brick-field.
It is said that about twenty years ago a female was missed
from the neighbourhood, who, it was conjectured, had been
murdered.
A n inquest was held yesterday at the village of
Great Baden, in Essex, on the body of Mr. Fitch, a farmer
in the neighbourhood, who committed suicide by cutting his
throat. It appeared in evidence that deceased had been ill
in bed, complained much of pain in the head, and that taking
advantage of the temporary absence of his attendant he had
cut his throat with a razor as he stood before the looking-glass.
He lingered from Monday till Thursday. Verdict—" Tem-
porary derangement."
Last evening, about five o'clock, a middle-aged man,
in the employment of Mr. Brystone, of King's Arms public-
house, Whiteeross-street, was knocked down in the neigh-
bourhood of Finsbury by a gig. The vehicle did not pass
over the man, but struck him on the shculder, and he fell.
