SPAIN.—The Madrid Gazette continues to

ncunees that the Bank of Srn Fernando is about to pay
four per cent, to its shareholders for the year 1840, and
observes that this proof of general confidence is a sutli •
ciant answer to the calumnious assertion, that Spain is in
a state of discrder end anarchy.

from the north-side of Chiswell-street into Bunhill•row,
nearly facing the entrance to tile Royal Artillery-ground.

to any of the men employed on the works. All that re-

The officer stated that at a qusrter before ten o'clock
last night he saw the defendant driving at a furious rate
through Wellington-street, from the direction of
Ws orlon Bridge, and on turning the corner of the
street in the Sirens' he continued whipping the horse
so violently that it was with the greatest difficulty per-
sons passing escaped being seriously injured. Consta-
ble 137 A, who was on duty at the English Opera
House, assisted in going in pursuit of him, and when
they overtook him at St. Mary-le-Strand, he struck at
them repeatedly in such a violent manner with his
whip that it was with much struggling they secured him
and conveyed the vehicle to the Green-yard.
The defendant said the horse was " fresh" in conse-
quence of not being in harness for some days, and when
he felt the whip he sprung off with such rapidity that
he was unable, being somewhat fresh himself to pull him.
Mr. HALL told him that he had committed three
off, noes, each of which deserved a severe punishment,
and, instead of calling upon him to pay a penalty, he
should go to hard labour in the House of Correction
for six weeks. •
Ellen Braithwaite, the wife of a waterman, was
charged with attempting to commit suicide, by drowning
herself in the Thames, off Hungerford wharf.
Censtable Sankey, 82 F, hearing the splash in the
water about one o'clock this morning, procured the in
of a waterman, anti the defendant was with diffi-
culty brought ashore, and being conveyed to the sta-
tion-house, she was instantly sent to St. Martin's work-
house, where her clothes were dried, and restoratives
given to her. She had been quarrelling with her hus-
band about an hour previous, and had been only yester-
day charged with the same offence, but upon promising
not to repeat it she was discharged.
The defendant said her husband spent all his earn-
ings in treating other women to drink, while he left her
and her children at home in a state of starvation, which
preyed upon her so much that she was driven to commit
the rash act for. which she was charged.
Mr. HALL said the more prudent COUrSe for her to
pursue would be to apply to the parish authorities of
S% Martin's, from whom she would readily meet with
redress ; and if her il
husband l-treated her at any fu-
ture time, she could come to the Court and a warrant
would be issued against him.
The defendant promised to act as she was directed,
and she was ordered tube discharged.
