INSURRECTION IN
SPAIN.

The Madrid Echo of the Bth, contains some further
details of the attack on the Palace. It says—
" That between six and seven o'clock in the evening,
M. Cortina, commanding the National Guard at the
Palace, learned that the detachment of the 2d Regiment
of the guard then on duty in the Palace, was about to
defy the authority of the Government. He immediately
doubled the posts. The superior officers of the National
Guard were warned, and they ordered the drums to
beat and different edifices adjoining the Palace to be oc-
cupied. The crowd gathered in the streets at the beating
of the drum, and, collecting round the Palace, kept the
guard from declaring itself. Meantime it was said that
the Princess regiment had revolted. The Lieutenant-
Colonel had succeeded in bringing it off, in concert with
Concha, and had shut up a troop of faithful hussars.
The Colonel, however, succeeded in bringing the soldiers
of the Princess regiment to their duty, and they fired on
the insurgents. The 2d Regiment of the guard also re-
turned to its dtitY.
" The insurgents reached the door of the Palace lead-
ing to the Hall of Columns. Behind this door the twelve
halberdiere offered their heroic resistance. The Queen,
accompanied by Arguelles and M. Ileros, escaped to
another part of the Palace. An officer belonging to the
insurgents knew them, but let them pass. The Ministers_
and the Regent met at the Hotel of the Port. At dawn
the Regent quitted the Port, with the authorities, and
stationed himself before the Church of Sta. Maria de le
Almadena, and thence sent his aide-de-camps to summon
the revolted soldiers to surrender. They did so, and
three officers ordered them to evacuate it. The Regent
then entered the Palace, and gave the Cross of San Fer-
nando to the brave halberdiers."
Gen. Conchs is said to have been taken at Las Rosas.
It is thought that General Requena, Norzagary, Tul-
gozir, and others, under trial on the Bth, would be shot.
General Borso was brought to Saragossa and condemned

show so much
audacity and violence, our civil that• and military
authorities know not how to
resist them. The
National Guard has been under arms for the last
three days, parading the streets and singing Riego's
hymn. This National Guard was disbanded after the
occurrences of September, and, in the place of Mode-
rados, who were men of family and fortune, was recom-
posed of a large number of the people who were armed
and clothed by the Ayuntamiento out of forced contri-
butions. This National Guard, amounting to 14,000
men, is now master of the town. It insists upon the
destruction of the citadel, and dictates to the popular
authorities proscriptions against the most distinguished
citizens. Last night a Moderado was assassinated, and
a list of 380 persons destined to become the victims ofthis revolutionary'. reaction is now openly circulated.

The Memorial of Pau has a letter from Bedous of the

, " A detachment of forty officers of the 2d Regiment
.Ife under
the Royal Guard have just arrived. They ar
at e orders of General Latorre. The soldiers took from

We extract the following from the Phare of Bayonne
of the 15th ireit.

It is reported that General Concha has. been caught a t
Las Roses, three leagues from Madrid, and is in prison.
General Borso was arrested on the 10th at Bor)a, and
taken under an escort of National Guards to Saragossa.
where he is confined, and will, no doubt, be immediately
brought to trial and executed. .The national militia ce
Tolosa have refused to do the duty which the military
authorities have wished them to undertake. They have
consequently been deprived of their arms, which
have been sent to St. Sebastian. It seems that for-
tifications are being raised at Iron. The gate at the
head of the bridge of Behobia has been re-established.
On the confines of Biscay and Castille it is reported
that on the 11th, three battalions arrived at Medina de
Pomar, and a fourth at Ona, under General Aleson,
with orders from the Regent to threaten Bilbao. The
following details from Pampeluna have This moment
reached us, in a letter of the 12th, the accuraoy of which
we can warrant. General Ayerbe entered Panpeluna on
Tuesday morning, but the only force he had with him
was the second regiment of the Royal Guard, wle;ch had
. .
deserted, and then as suddenly returned to its allegonee.
Most of its officers, however, have abandoned it entirely,
forty-two of them hexing gone into'France. After art
interchange of communications between O'Donnell and
Ayerbe, the firing from the citadel suddenly ceased. The
damage done by it is certainly serious, and to be de-
plored, but, at the same time, muck less disastrous
than we at first. apprehended. On Tuesday evening
O'Donnell; came out of the citadel, with one squadron
and one battalion, and joined Ortigosa, in the
country, where he is at the head of six hundred armed
partisans. His intention is to traverse the country for
five or six days, raise and organise additional forces,
and then return into the citadel. This, in the meantime,
is left in the charge of Colonel Azcarraga, with a com-
pany of artillery, the battalion which commenced the
movement, and a company of young volunteers, belong-
ing to families of distinction' at Pampeluna. On leaving
his position, O'Donnell assured the Captain-General
Ayerbe, that the citadel should make no demonstration
unless his passage out was interrupted, or the town re-
commenced hostilities, but we do not learn whether
General Ayerbe subscribed to these conditions. . The
steamer Isabella IL, after carrying troops from Santona
to Castro, left the port of Passages, on the 12th, for San-
tander, whence she will immediately proceed to the coast
of Biscay, and join in the blockade of Bilbao."

CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.

A miner residing not many miles from the Land's
End, who had been in the habit for some time past of
inflicting severe punishment on his wife, a very pretty
little woman, for the most trifling offences, proceeded se.
far with his brutality that her patience became at length
exhausted, and she went to a neighbouring Magistrate
to swear the peace against him. A warrant was imme-
diately issued, and delivered to the constable, who re-
paired to a neighbouring parish where the delinquent
resided in a state of separation from his wife. It being
early, the constable found him in bed, and immediately
ordered him to turn out and go with him. The hus-
band promptly obeyed, and having put on his waistcoat
and jacket, asked leave of the officer to go into the next
room to put on his trowsers, which had been left there
the night before. As he had no shoes or stockings on,
the request was granted ; but the prisoner finding him-
self out of sight of the constable, determined to make
his escape. He therefore cleared the stairs at
a bound, .nd before the constable knew where
be was, be was running across the country at a fearful
pace. The officer and another man immediately fol-
lowed him, but he led them a run of upwards of two
miles and a half, during which he cleared at a bound
old shaft!, hedges, and furze bushes, until he reached
the mine where he worked, and descended the ladder.
The constable guarded, as he thought all egress from
the mine, and then he and the mine captain descended ;
hut the prisoner led them another chase through all the
subterranean passages, and at length bolted up one of
the shafts, which in the hurry had not been guarded.
On reaching grass, he set off again, and did not stop
till he arrived at his own house, where he now lies
in great danger from the cuts and bruises- he received
in his feat. -All proeoellings acsinst him are said to be
stopped ; the punishment he has inflict-a on masers
being touch more severe than a month at the treadmill.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 18.—During the wnoie
of last night it blew a heavy gale of wind from :7-:.W.,
the few outward-bound ships at Spithead and the Mother-
bank rode the gale out in safety. A melancholy and
fatal accident occurred between the hours of 11 and 12
last night, which has thrown a perfect gloom over this
place :—Ensign Ruslibrooke, attended by a corporal
named Williams of the 32d Regiment (to which they both
belonged) were on the detached guard in the Dock-
yard, and in going the usual night-rounds, both these
poor fellows, owing to the darkness of the night, fell
into the dock and were drowned ; the bodies were
dragged for at any early hour this morning and found.
Ensign Rushbrooke was a very young man, and I un-
derstand but a short time in the army ; he is a son of
Colonel ltushbrooke, M.P. for Suffolk. The Styx,
steam-frigate, Captain Vidal, arrived yesterday for the
purpose of embarking Sir Charles Bagot for Canada.
The Britannia, 120, Captain Mansell, is hourly expected
at Spithead from the Mediterranean.
MR. BECKFORD'S TOWER.—We find on in-
quiry that the re-furnishing of this beautiful structure
has not only been contemplated by the owner, but actually
completed, and in such a style as is quite commensurate
with the well-known splendid conceptions of that gentle-
man in all matters of taste and vertu. it is not only in
the creation and originating of beautiful furnitnre de-
signs, but iu the consummate judgment which he mani-
ests in the grouping and disposition of the articles, that
Mr. Beckford displays a mind of the most superior order,
and a single glance at the apartments in this building
would at once evince the justness of these remarks. The
costly and rare articles at the tower must, indeed, afford
to every person of taste a great treat. The Etruscan
vases are of the greatest value and curiosity, not only
from their antiquity, but from their wonderful preser-
vation and exquisite design ; some of them are on white
grounds. The collection of these is very extensive. The
manuscripts and choice copies of the early authors are
exceedingly rare, in fact, they areinestimable, as are also
the collection of Agates, Japan, Oriental China, Baby-
lonian Glass, Raphael ware, k 1U
—c. ...Lally of them quite
unique and enviable objects to any national museum.
The pictures are mostly of the Italian and Flemish
painters amongst which are placed some exceedingly
curious and valuable enamels and early Greek paintings.
The furniture designs of this munificent patron of all
that is elegant in -art are carried and executed by Mr.
Edward English, jun., of this city.—Bath Haag:.
