M. Isturiz, President, took the chair at. O.)K.A.

The order of the day was the continuation of Itta'-oFe•ato
upon the 6th article of the electoral law, relative to quail. fications.
M. Mcdrano, one of the old Ministry, in the commence•
meat of h:s address took occasion to reply, both in his own name and in that of his political friend; to the
,charge mach/
against them by the partisans of the movement party, et
having carefully concealed a particular system mid ulterior
views subsequently brought to light ; the hon. member
having directed his arguments more to a defence of his
,ad,
ministration than to an attack upon the measure in question,
proposed an additional paragraph, which, however, was no 4 taken into consideration, -
M. Mendizabal ascended the tribune, and cotemene4d
his observations by refuting the assertions put farward at
the close of the previous sitting by M. de Toreno. He de,
clared that he was far from wishing to take advantage of a
particular state of things for
,the purpose of forcing such
and such votes upon the members of that Chamber eu
ployed as functionaries. His first care, on entering ;.nto
office, was to secure the greatest independence to the 10 or
12 deputies attached to the Finance Department, hi'.., object
being that their votes should be perfectly free, and that they
should not be under the apprehension of losing ''Heir places.
The President of the Council replied to an ,:..ssertion made
by M. Toreno, to the -effect that there e.;,,uld not be fount
in the provinces fifteen public funetior.,aries at a salary of
10,000 reals.
M. de Toreno wisliedi. to answer an observation which af-
fected him persor.4ll3'. What he said, and he should re-
peat it, was, that there were not in the whole I.fingdom 15
public functionaries, but from 20 to 30 wh sa-
lary of 10,00 ,0 reals per annum. The s g received a
on. Member then
administration.
went into a statistical detail upon -4trious branches of the
M. Mendizabal observed, that it would be altogether ill-
timed, as also inconsistent with the question before the
Chamber, to enter into,a discussion with the last speaker
upon the actual amount paid to persons employed by the
Administration. He persisted in vouching for the correct-
ness of his previous declaration on this head, and which he
said lie should establish by proofs'when a propel. opportunity-
should offer.
M. Alcala Galiitho replied to the arguments, supported
by MM. de Toreno and Medrano, and concluded by ex-
P. essing bi':liself in favour of the above article
of the Mi-
• • ,
n:sten2., Proj
ect.
The Chamber at length declared itself sufficiently in-
formed upon the details of the article in question, which was.
then read :'by it the title and rights of electors are givr,n
to all advocates or persons engaged in the law, to physi-
cians, surgeons, professors, painters, artists, &c.
1 The Chamber subsequently decided by a show of hands,
with a majority of 78 against 63, that the vote should be
given upon the entire article, and not upon the separate
pahgraphs. A ballot then took place upon the whole of
the article ; the numbers were, 79 votes against this article,
which had been presented and supported by' the committee
and the Government, and 63 in favour of it. The article
in question was consequently rejected. Upon the result of
this vote much agitation prevailed throughout the Chamber.
The President put to the vote an additional article pro-
posed and supported by. MM. Calderon, Collantes, Serrano,
Ginei, and Montalvo; to the effect that in cities containing
a population of if,',11,000 souls, advocates and other citizens
belonging to 4.:n0 professions ,abovenamed should have the
right and title of electors upon paying a fixed rate of 100
reels, and of 200 reals where the population exceeded
100,000 souls. This article, strongly supported by M.
Toreno, was adopted by an imposing majority. It was ob-
served that immediately after the vote upon Article 6, the
members of the committee and the Ministers made rather
a rapid retreat from the Chamber.
The discussion continued, but the lateness of the hour. prevents our giving the result.

RMAN AND ERUSSELS PAPERS.

ASERLIN, JAN. 16.... L.-We.-We learn that the law relative to the
entrance of foreiTners into the public service in Prussia will
be in future very strictly enforced, and that exceptions will be
made only ur.der very particular circumstances ; a special law
on the suLjeet is expected.
It is again affirmed that a reduction of the interest of our
public debt is far from being given up, and that it is perhaps
:dearer at hand than is supposed.
An alleviation of the public burden is, in far-;, highly neces-
sary ; and as the Council of State is said
to, have decided that
it is not at present advisable to reduce th
or the expense of maintaining it, and amount of the army,
Since in all the other de-
partments of public service, the tee
st effectual reductions have
already been made, there is noti,:ing-
remaining but a reduction
of,. the interest of the debt.
JAN. 19.—The expected restrictions on the admission of
foreign (especially French) journals, have now been issued_
certain French J',.,arnals are to pay at the rate of the very
high postage er letters, so that reading-rooms and the like
catviot possibly take them in, as a single journal would come
to many hundred dollars. This may certainly be consi-
dered not as a direct prohibition—for it extends only
to the National,- the Temps, and Constitutionnel—and some
others of the same character. Those which have a kind of
official character, the Journal de Paris, the Journal des Debats,
or the legitimist journals, such as the Gazette de France, con-
tinue to enjoy the same facilities as the other journals, in the
transmission by the post. The Courrier Francais is not in-
cluded in this kind of prohibition. The National and Temps,
of which numerous copies used to come here, have disappeared
from the coffee-houses, &c. The public use of the journals is
by no means prohibited, and whoever chooses to be at the ex-
pense is at full liberty to do so. The measure has not yet
been extentled.to the English newspapers, as they are very
little read here.
DARMSTADT, JAN. 26.—Medical Bulletin.—Her Royal
Highness the Grand Duchess, after having derived much
relief yesterday evening from a refreshing. sleep, was seized in
the night with a most violent fever, with increased oppression
and shortness of breath. Towards day-break the patient was
reduced to a state of weakness from which she did not recover-
for some time.
Da. BOCKMANN. FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. The
threatening syniptoms of the morning are not yet allevir„ted.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 7.—Exchange on London, 151 i ; Two
Months, 151.—Frankfort Paper, Jan. 28.
VIENNA, JAN. 19.—Nine more divisions of the train have
been disbanded. It is expected that the,L- 4Huweli t.
r battalions
still with the army will likewise be soon ';tsbanded. It is also
reported that a great number of superior staff-officers and Ge-
nerals will shortly be pensioned offs
VIENNA, JAN. 20.—Every
.:cation is already taken in the
low parts of the city, near the. Danube, against an inundation
on the breaking up of tl,e lee ; for the river is now covered
with thick ice, as far
6 the eye can reach, both above and be-
low the city, and consequence of some intervals of thaw, it
is piled up in beasps in several places.
The intnded iron railroad to Gallicia, the execution of
which is undertaken by M. A. Rothschild and Sons, who have
obtained permission for it, will extend as far as Bochisia, and
:nough it will be sixty German miles in length, it is in-
tended that it shall be completed in three or four years. The
capital required is estimated at twelve millions of florins. The
estimate of the expected profits is founded, as we are assured,
on very accurate data, during a number of years, relative to
the traffic on that road. We are very anxious to see the pro-
spectus published.
SILESIA, JAN. 19.--I have already given you an account of
the disturbances of Cracow, in consequence of which several
persons concerned have been arrested. It now appears that
since these events several murders have been committed in
this city, which are ascribed partly to political excitement,
and partly to a spirit of revenge in some individuals who still
dream of a Polish nationality.
The civilisation of the age repels such fearful crimes ; it
does not excuse them because the object is attainable, nor
even if it is laudable, but it finds no words to express its full
detestation of those who endeavour to obtain by crimes what is
impossible and unlawful. There is more than polMcal fana-
timm; wickedness thirsts for crimes, for the sake of the crime
is the motive of the actions of those men µ' of
bear the
stamp of depravity without giving the 'perpetrators the
slightest hope of realising their projects. Cracow may pro-
bably have to expect something unpleasant, as it cannot be
supposed that the protecting powers, of the Republic will be-
hold such excesses with Indifference, or continue to throw
away generosity on ingrates, May those who in the enjoy-
ment of legal freedom, Paid 'of increasing prosperity, show
themselves so unworthy of their good fortunes, not complain of
injustice if they should be considered as incapable of continuing
to govern themselves.

BRUSSELS, 4AN. 28.—The Espoir says, "We learn from
Brussels, '-luat as soon as the orders of the day of the Chamber
of Ifrigesentatives are disposed of, the present Session will be
dosed, and that the Communal Law will thus be again ad-
journed." The same letters announce the re'.gnation of the
Minister of War. Oh, if it were true 1
JAN. 29.—The Minister of War, assisted by M. E. de
Merode, returned to the charge yesterday, for the :Kite of
credit relative to the institution of the Hospital of Instruction.
He was again defeated by a large majority. The remainder of
his budget was noted, with the exception of the important
question of the contract for beds.
