end is preparing a considerable force to endeavour to quash
this insurrection, or at least to check its progress ; but no
confidence is felt of its success."
Dr. Bowring is again in Paris. This time his friends say
nothing about the treaty of commerce to be negotiated. They
say that he has come accompanied by Mr. Pringle, an engi-
neer, and Mr. Thomas, a banker, for the purpose of proposing
the construction of railroads between Paris, London, and
Brussels, and to discuss the means of carrying this immense
enterprise into effect.
Dr. Bowring yesterday had an audience with M. Thiers,
who, it is said, listened with approbation to the plan. Dr.
Bowring will therefore go to Brussels. The line from Lon-
don to Dover is already traced, and before the present plan
was formed, preparations had been made for a railroad between
Paris and Brussels. It is said that it will be possible to travel
from Paris to Brussels in 131 hours, and from London to
Brussels in 11l hours.—Messager, March 30.

We have several accounts from Madrid, but none

of them are of a later date than those received yester-
day. They all speak sanguinely of the prospects of
the QUEEN, and the stability of the present Govern-
ment. In one of them we find it asserted that the
Queen of SPAIN proposes to visit the seat of war in
person, with a view to rouse the zeal of the Basque
peasantry. This is also stated in the Moniteur ; but
we look upon it as the revival of a fiction to the same
effect which appeared in the Paris papers about five

months ago.
We have likewise received the copy of an Ad-
dress, signed and presented to the QUEEN by up-
wards of five hundred Grandees of Spain, entreating

her MAJESTY not to withdraw her confidence from
M. MENDIZABAL. This document is too long for

insertion in the present crowded state of our columns ;
but we will endeavour to select a few passages in which

its entire purport is embodied :—" Your MAJESTY,"
urge the petitioners, " has placed your confidence and
the direction of the reins of the Government in the
hands of a manlbeloved within, and respected out of the
Spanish nation, and in whom this same nation, in ac-
cord with your MAJESTY, proclaimed its confidence
under the most critical circumstances. While a Mi-
nister, who will be judged by history, made parade of
an impotent violence against a magnanimous nation,
this nation withdrew itself from him, and, with-
drawing, disunited the ties which held the coun-
try and the Government together. This disunion,
which mortally wounded our nationality, which was
hailed tumultuously by the North, and threw con-
sternation into the south, was the scandal of Europe.
But your Majesty, with the instinct of a parent and
the foresight of a Queen, knew how to choose for your
councillor that great man, who, accustomed to combat
for liberty in other countries, was to combat for her
again in that which gave him birth—in that which
hailed him with enthusiasm—in that which will be--

come the vast theatre of his triumphs—and that in
which he has to collect his brightest laurels. No one
then disputed his elevation to power ; none of the for-
mer combatants bared his sword to conquer or subdue
him ; all disappeared from the scene ; because only 112
felt a calm heart beating in the midst of tempests, and
only he could offer to the Throne a steady hand in the
the midst of trouble. Society then recovered its lost
balance ; the throne became affirmed on its broad
; serenity and concord again appeared in
our brightened horizon, and your Majesty could and
did enjoy the spectacle of such unexpected happiness.
Madam, only that which saved our liberty. yester-
day can save it to-day, before a fanatic faction triumph-
ing in our divisions amidst a divided nation. He only
can save the Government who re-organized our divided
country. He only can save the country who did so
without, dictatorship in the midst of anarchy, and be-
cause he did so, save it, he is opposed by those who
aim at dominion as their end, and disorganization as
their means of attaining it. Our eyes, Madam, are not
accustomed to look into futurity, but a presentiment
tell us that if the present Cabinet were to disappear
from the political surface, the future would be dark
and melancholy. With the rumours of its dissolution
are spread others which shake the firmest hearts and
the calmest minds. It is said, and the same pe-
riodicals have talked of it, of the immediate pub-
lication of a code such as never has been proclaimed in
Spain, without the sigh of a victim ascending to
Heaven with the voice which proclaims it. Thus.
Madam, the rumour of the fall of the Cabinet and of
the dis::,olution of the State is the same ; the same are
those who accuse the Ministry. They know well,
Madam, that the present Cabinet, strong because it
is supported by public opinion, and strong because it
is supported by the laws, will be an invincible obstacle
to the plans they meditate, and because they know, if
they have sworn its extermination, and because the
subscribers know it too, Madam, they raise their
humble voice to your august throne, to beg of you
that, listening propitiously to that voice, you will
deign to preserve your confidence to the present Minis-
try, which in times of greater trouble and difficulty
saved the cradle of your august daughter from perish-
na as well as the liberty of the Spanish nation."

Lord Elphinstone, who is to succeed the Right
Hon. Sir J. Adams, as Governor of Madras, is in the army,
and one of the Lords of the Bedchamber. Sir John, some
months, ago, expressed his intention of returning to England
to recruit his health, which has been impaired by the climate
of the East Indies.
CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—The Canterbury Con-
servatives held what they call a grand meeting on Friday
evening last, for the purpose of congratulating each other on
their narrow escape from the clutches of the law at the late
Assizes. Some of the party, we are told, had the modesty to
wear white rosettes, as emblematic of " Purity of Election !"
—Kent Herald.
At a general meeting of the members of the White-
haven Subscription Newsroom, held on Friday, a motion was
made for discontinuing the renegade Times, and was only lost
by a majority of two voices. The Morning Post was ordered
by a majority of one.
MR. HASTIE.—The newly-elected Member for
Paisley, is the gentleman who was on the eve of presenting
himself to the electors of Canterbury, when he was anticipated
by the activity of Mr. Villiers.
A French schooner was seen off Shoreham, ou
Monday, with her colours hoisted, supposed to be in distress ;
but the wind blowing hard from the South East, no boat could
put to sea.
TITLE OF THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF PERTH.
—The preliminary point mooted by the Court of Justiciary, in
the case with the Lord Advocate as to the transmission of pri-
soners from Dunfermline to Perth, regarding the legality of
the Provost of Perth using the title of Lord, was disposed of
on Saturday last, when it was fully recognised by the Court.—

Our Member, Lord Conyngham, has been engaged
in endeavouring to obtain a mitigation of punishment in the
case of Pryer, who was cast for death at the late Lent Assize
for cutting and maiming—a petition in his behalf having been
signed by the prosecutor, overseers, and other persons resident
in the neighbourhood to which the criminal belongs. We
regret to add, that his Lordship's exertions in the cause of
mercy, have proved unavailing, and that Pryor and Joy will, in

to sign the petition, unscrupulously acknowledging that he
ought to be hanged, and preferring that the wretched lad
should be launched into eternity, with his sins unrepented of,
rather than lend his aid in gaining time for so desirable an end.
Is this Christian Charity ?—Kent Herald.
On Friday last, the " old veteran fisherman," Joe
Tolson, of Keswick, caught near a small island called Ling-
holm, in that lake, a large pike, weighing 19ilbs. Captu-
ring a pike of this magnitude, with fine tackle, which was in
this instance " spinning the minnow with single gut," is by
experienced fishermen allowed to be a feat of no ordinary im-
portance.
