Spanish Ambassador to Paris.

Passage de I'Opera, Paris, on Sunday, at 75f. 40c.

FALL DOWN OP A CHIMNEX.—At five o'clock, on
the afternoon of Saturday last, a serious accident hap-
pened on the works of the Huddersfield and Manchester
Railway at Huddersfield, by which the lives of two
workmen were nearly sacrificed. About half a mile
from the town, on the Cooperbridge branch the com-
pany are erecting large and commodious engine-sheds
for the locomotive department, and attached to these is
an engine-house with a tall chimney, thirty yards high,
the masonry of which had been raised by scaffolding
fixed inside, and which was on the eve of completion at
the above-named time, and two masons were suspended
inside the chimney, preparing for removing the scaffold-
ing, when the crossbar of wood, by which the teagle
was suspended broke in two, and they
fell to the
bottom,
a distance of twenty five yards, breaking in their fall
the timbers by means of which the structure had been
raised. They were taken up literally broken in pieces,
in both cases their legs, thighs, and arms had received
compound fractures, and they now lie in a very pre-
carious state at the Huddersfield Infirmary.
CANADIAN PRODUCE.--A vessel, named the John
Mann, arrived in the West India Docks from Quebec,
has brought, in addition to a cargo of deals and other
wood goods, 29 kegs and 8 casks of Terrabinthina Cana-
densis. This would appear to be a somewhat novel and
remarkable importation. We are not aware of the qua-
lity or character of the article so designated, and brought
from this British province of North America.
In consequence of the deranged state of the
money-market, and the general scarcity of the circulat-
ing medium, a large number of building operations, in
h and near have been suspended during the
last fortnight.te metropolis,

in-law of MuNoz, is appointed Captain-General of
Madrid, and MUNOZ himself is, it is said, to be Mi-
nister of War. General ESPELETA has been ap-
pointed Governor of the Canary Islands, to make
room for General MONTERO as Deputy-Commander
of Granada, and the Marquis of MIEAFLORES super.
sedes the Count of SANTA COLONNO as First Major-
Domo of the Palace. SERRANO is at Arjonilla, near
Andujar, his native town. General PORTILLO has
been arrested and sent from Madrid.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 19.—The Three per Cents.
closed at 27, at 50 days ; the Five per Cents. at
164 for paper; the Debt without Interest, at 5/ ; and
the Coupons, at 13.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
Th• mild and conciliatory proclamation addressed
by the Diet of Switzerland to the rebels of the Son-
derbund is the subject of praise in all of them, save
in the _Wats, and that journal, unable to find any
fault with the proclamation itself, is reduced to the
necessity of calling it a lying piece of hypocrisy.
The National, in the course of an article on the
appointment by the POPE of the Council of State,
warns its readers that this Council must not be con-
founded with a representative assembly—that it will
have the power of advising only, and not of deciding
that Pius IX. remains still an absolute sovereign, and
that if his successor should favour a retrograde action
he Council of State would be no embarrassment to
him.

In the Bien Publique of Macon, M. ALPIIONSE
DELAMARTTNE has published the following pro-
gramme of the reforms demanded by that section of
reformers of which he is the representative :
" The sovereignty exercised hy the people ; the
electoral rights extended to all citizens; primary as-
semblies nominating electors for a temporary func-
tion ; electors nominating representatives for a li-
mited period; representatives, not delivered to the
mercy of the corruptions of ministers, but paid by
the people, to remove every pretext for their ser-
vility; functionaries at their post, and not in the
Chambers, where they play two parts quite incom-
patible—that of persons controlling and persons con-
trolled; no other law is required to exclude them,
that is quite sufficient; a national assembly; minis
ters named by ballot by the majority, which the
Chamber gives them or takes from them; the dynasty
without any other privilege than the throne; the
King inviolable ; the princes, simple citizens ; a real
liberty of worship by the separation of the church
from the state ; liberty of association and of voluntary
retribution, as the only budget of men's consciences
when thus disenthralled; absolute liberty of instruc-
tion, with the exception of that surveillance of morals
which the State ought never to give up; liberty of
the press, by the revocation of the laws of Septem-
ber; the security of the seat of the national as-
sembly guaranteed by a prudential law against any
abuse of the fortifications of Paris; a permanent
army and an army of reserve; a fair and just law
equally distributing the charges of recruiting; peace,
but France in her proper rank in peace as she was
in war; France, the natural and avowed ally of
liberty of ideas and of liberty of nations throughout
the universe ; abolition of slavery wherever the
French flag floats; the organization of gratuitous
instruction for the people on the largest basis;
progressive free trade ; social fraternity in principle
and in the institutions ; living rendered cheap by
the reduction of the taxes which press so heavily on
articles of food; a poor-rate, notwithstanding the
calumnies with which cvrtain political economists en-
deavour to discredit that institution ; foundlings to
be adopted by the State, and not flung back to death
by an investigation into the circumstance of the
birth, and by the closing of the turning baskets ;
the extinction of mendicity, asylums for the infirm,
and public workshops for those in health ; social
charity promulgated in numerous laws to aid all the
wants, all the sufferings, and all the miseries that
fall to the lot of the people ; a fixed sum given away
each year as the liberality of the State; a new office
of Minister of Public Benevolence; a minister of the
people's living, &e.,—let the Government enter on
this course of action, and we will follow it freely,
without asking whether it wears a crown, , a tiara or
a hat."
