The Madrid Journals received are of the 6th
inst. They do not bring a syllable of political
news of any interest. The Chamber of Deputies
adopted the Report of the Committee which pro-
nounced the legality of the abdication of Queen
CHRISTINA.

' A letter from Madrid gives the following narrative :—"The
young Queen' was passing through the city a few days ago,
in her carriage, accompanied by her sister, and attended by the
Marquis de Santa Cruz, and other persons of her suite. The
Marquis observed that there were lees troops then usual es-
corting the Royal carriage, and calling to the Marquis de San
Carlos, who commanded ;the party, asked the reason. The
officer replied that he had detached some of his men to ac-
company the viaticum, which was being borne to a sick per-
son. The young Queen upon this, said to him, ' You have
done right, but another time you will stop my carriage, and
invite the priest to enter it, and we will conduct him to the
house of the sick person, and afterwards to the church. This
was one of the recommendations to me by my mother at Va-
lencia, and I wish to comply with it.' Orders have since been
given that this may be done on any future similar occasion."
TRADE OF SPAIN.—The Consul-General of Spain in Bor-
deaux has published a return of the trade and navigation be-
tween France and Spain in 1839, from which it appears that
the exports of the former to the latter amounted to 82,656,086 f.
and the imports to 37,351,9141. ; leaving a difference against
Spain of 45,304,172 f.
'1 he Four per Cents. were done at 214 cash ; and
10.200,000 reals were negotiated in the Five per Cents. at
25Efor the 10th and 12th instant, and at 26 7-16ths at 60 days.

Poor Sir Robert Peel, forsaken by all the ar-
dent Tories, who prefer Lord Stanley to him, is
now snubbed every day, by the only powerful
organ of his party, for experimenting on the
poor. The Times may hate Lord John Russell,
but it treats Sir Robert Peel with sovereign con-
tempt. Deserted or opposed by all that is popu-
lar in the Press, and shoved aside by his fol-
lowers to make way for Lord Stanley, he is one
of the destitute without a political refuge.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 21st of
February.
SLAVE TRADE.—Extract of a letter from St. Helena :
We have here a Portuguese schooner, prize to the Water-
witch, for condemnation, with 230 slaves on board. They
have the small-pox very bad ; those that are free of it are
landed at Lemon Valley, which place is kept under strict qua-
rantine. The sick ones have been removed on board a schooner
which was formerly a slaver ; there has been upwards of thirty
of them that have fallen victims to the disease. When the
Wat,rwitch first gave chase, the captain endeavoured to get
away by lightening the vessel, for which purpose he threw
overboard about 130, having originally on board 350 ; he then
run his vessel on shore, and made his escape. The boats of
the Waterwitch saved about seventy from drowning, but the
greater part of them died afterwards from exhaustion."
(From the Graham's Town lournal.)
We have been favcured with the perusal of a letter just re-
ceived from a British emigrant at Natal, dated December, as
follows :—" A beautiful harvest is expected, but the corn is
more liable to rust than in the colony. The horse-sickness
prevails very much in these parts, also a distemper among the
cattle ; many of the Dutch are in great distress, owing to the
death of their cattle from the diseases which rage in these
parts. The Boors are also much alarmed at seeing in the
newspapers, lately received from the Colony, that the British
will take possession of the Natal country ; they ever talk of
resisting the attempt. A stranger suffers great inconveni-
ence here, there being no house to afford accommodation
or lodging ; there are only about twenty houses at Natal, and a
few near the entrance of the Bay, which are now used by the
emigrant farmers.

The Lisbon mail has arrived brought by the Iberia ; it does
not contain any news of importance. The finances continue
in a deplorable state, and the Ministers have had several con-
ferences respecting money affairs, as well as the Treaty with
England. It was not expected that any change in th Minis-
try would immediately take place. For further particulars we
refer our readers to another part of the Paper.
Her Majesty's packet ship Penguin has arrived from the
Brazils ; sailed on the 2d of March from Rio. She brings a
freight of 33,0001. Exchange upon London 30 dollars, Stock 75.
Affairs at Rio Grande were in the same state. The Govern-
ment were sending troops there.
The Batavier Dutch steamer has arrived o he 13th of
April, bringing papers of the same date ; it being a holiday no
prices were published.

THE limns.
This" being settling.day in the British Market, the brokers
and jobbers are chiefly employed in adjusting their accounts,

extreme fluctuation during the present is about 2i per cent.

THE HOLY WEEK.—The announcement of the
arrival of Lord Brougham at Paris was erroneous. A
letter of the 2.1 instant, from Rome, mentions the pre-
sence of the Noble Lord in that City, with the intention
of remaining for the ceremonies of the holy week, and then
proceeding to Naples. The Duchess of Cambridge was
expected daily et Rome. The Marquis and Marchioness
of Londonderry and the Hon. Colonel Fitzgibbon are
among the noble visitors of that capital. The number of
foreigners attracted by the ceremonies of the holy week is
very considerable, and all the hotels are crowded. The
Roman Government has been exceedingly liberal inissu-
ing tickets for privileged places during the ceremonies.
The weather is said to be delightful.— Galignani's Mes-
senger.
CENSUS OF FRANCE.--The Minister of the
Interior has addressed a circular to all Pr.rfects of depart-
ments, with instrnctions for taking such measures that the
new census of France, to be made in virtue of a Royal
ordonnance of 1836, may be completely finished before the
end of the current year.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS
DAY.)

This being the first day Easter Term, tho Lord
Chancellor did not take his seat in Court until nearly two
o'clock, in consequence of having to entertain the Judgee,
Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, to breakfast at
his house in Bruton-street. His Lordship, on taking his
scat, was accompanied by the Master of the the
Vice-Chancellor, and Masters Wingfieli and Farrar. His
Lordship proceeded to hear motions, but no case of any
interest came before his Lordship previous to the rising of
the Court.
