SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 23d ult. have reached us by ex-
press. Some notion may be gathered of the scenes which
are likely to occur in Madrid, from the following reply of
the Ayuntamiento to the address of the National Guards,
offering their support should the execution of the Munici-
pality Bill be attempted :
" The Constitutional Ayuntamiento has witnessed with
•be greatest satisfaction the patriotic sentiments expressed
by the battalion placed under your command. As the critical
circumstances in which the country is placed may render the
co.operation of armed citizens necessary for the defence of
our institutions, the Ayuntamiento accepts with pleasure
your offer. You may be persuaded that when the period
of legal resistance arrives the Constitutional Ayuntamiento
will know how to perform Its duty ; and it is satisfied that
the National Guards of Madrid will accomplish their part
with firmness, conforming to the orders of the Corporation
as prescribed by the law itself.
" Madrid, Aug. 21.
" To the Commandant, Sac."
The Diario de Valence gives the list of Carlist prisoners
of the tort of Collado shot by the Christino authorities at
Chelva on the 13th and 14th ult. This list includes the
Governor of the fort, Dora Marcos Bancos, three corporals,
and 27 soldiers !

On the 12th, Peinado, the Carlist chief, and 27 officers,
also of the garrison of Collado, and a woman (gracious
God !) accused of having served as a spy of Cabrera, were
shot by the Christino troops in presence of the National
Guards of Titaguas I On the 13th, also at Titaguas,
Peinado's brother and 60 more Carlists were shot
Total, 120 men shot, and one woman I And this be-
cause the defence of Collado was obstinate, and the garri-
son were taken prisoners after evacuating it.
" Do 3ou wish to know," writes the Madrid corespond-
ent of the Gazette du Languedoc, " in what manner chil-
dren are shot by the Christino authorities ? Because,
says General Trinidad Balboa, eight Carlists having
killed an inhabitant of Daymiel, it was necessary, as repri-
sals, that the relations of the Carlist chief, Cerones, who
were then in prison, should draw lots amongst them for a
victim to be shot. It fell upon a child four 3 ears of age,
and the Christino Commandant of the fort of Fuente del
Fresno oideied the shooting of this innocent creature."

NEW COLONY OF AUSTRALIND.—The Di-
rectors of the Company set on foot for the purpose of eats-
hi:skiing the above colony, celebrated the occasion of the
sailing of their first ship, the Island Queen, by a dejeune
passengers, and 15 in the fore
at Lovegrove's West India Dock Tavern, yesterday. She
is a very pretty schooner, measuring about 102 feet in
length, carrying
cabin. She is armed, and we bave no doubt would prove
a " tough customer" to any ship that would molest her
in her progress. At a little after five the numerous guests
12 cabin
assembled at Lovegrove's large room, which proved too
small for this occasion, there being over 500 present.
There was ample accommodation, however, afforded for all
who were not fortunatv enough to obtain seats in this
TOM, ir,to which, after the ddeune all congregated to
hear the speeches. At the head table we observed,
besides the Chairman, John Chapman, Esq., the Lord
Mayor, Mr. Slaney, Mr. C. Buller, M.P., Mr. J. Dun-
