LONDON. SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1847.

An address to his constituency has already an,
no-Anced the temporary withdrawal of Sir CHARLES
N .te, sia from his Parliamentary duties, for the equally
o,tliotic and congenial duties connected with the ele-
ine3t upon which the Gallant Admiral has acquired
so much celebrity. Nothing but the direction of his
capacities to the maritime service of England could
compensate the electors of Marylebone for the inter-
ruption of those legislative labours which have proved
so acceptable in their earnestness, and so serviceable
in their assiduity. But Sir CHARLES NAPIER has
thereby, by no means, a diminished claim upon
the confidence of his constituency. On the
Con!'rary, he is by his recent appointment
entitled to expect a redoubled expression of
that confidence which was so cordially demon-
strated on a former occasion. Now that the hero of

' Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived.
Meetings of the leading Moderadoes and others of
the leading Progressistas have been held, and perma-
nent committees appointed to watch over the interests
of the respective parties in the event of a dissolution
of the Cortes. It was rumoured that the QUEEN had
been really fired at on the 4th, and that a ball had
passed through the rim of her bonnet. Several per-
sons have been arrested and examined, but the result
of the investigation is as yet unknown. The QUEEN,
who was accompanied to Aranjuez by the Minister of
War, was received most enthusiastically. Senor
PACHECO has followed her MAJESTY to Aranjuez.
