M. ISTURITZ TO MR. BULWER.

Madrid, Sept. 29, ISI6.
The Spanish Government deplores that the Government of
her Britannic Majesty should look upon the marriage of her
Royal Highness the Infanta Dona Maria Luisa Fernanda de
Bourbon with the Duke do ➢iontpensier as a political measure
of high importance, which, affecting the balance of power in
Europe, and the interests of the Governments of other states,
can give to Great Britain the right of interfering in it, by re-
monstrating and protesting against it. The British Govern-
ment, which shows itself so jealous for the independence of
Spain, will not take ill Spain's acting within the limit allotted
to her by international law, that is to say, without injuring
the interests of other Governments, as is the case with the
matter in question, respecting which England cannot bring
forth a single injury or contravention of treaties; she will
not take it ill, I repeat, Spain's energetically rejecting a pro-
test, the tendency of which is to restrict her independence, and
in her turn protesting against this supposed right.

ACCIDENT AT THE LIVERPOOL AMPHITHEATRE.-
On Monday night a man in the gallery of the Amphitheatre,
who had left his place during one of the acts, missed his
footing while endeavouring to spring into his former seat,
was precipitated over the railing into the pit, a depth of at
least thirty feet, and fell upon two ladies. The bench upon
which they were sitting was split, but, marvellous to relate,
with the exception of a few bruises, the man and the ladies
were, we believe, uninjured.—Liverpool Mercury.
THE Ilion PARTY.—MT. George A. namiltost,
Mr. W. S. O'Brien, Lord Bernard, and Mr. Godley, who
have been deputed to act for the committee, arrived in
London on Saturday, and on Monday apartments were ob-
tained in Palace-yard, Westminster, where the Irish Peers
and Members of the House of Commons will have the op-
portunity of consultation and conference.—Dublin Evening
DISTRIBUTION OF ABOVE 7001. AMONGST DIS-
TRESSED Jaws.—On Sunday evening a meeting of the
Rabbi and,other officials connected with the various metro-
politan synagogues, was held at the Jewish Free Schools,
situate in Bell-lane, Spitalfields, for the purpose of distribut-
ing relief to the poor members of the different synagogues,
great numbers of whom, in consequence of the severity of
the weather, and the dearness of provisions, have been re-
duced to great distress. To raise a sum for their relief, the
Chief Rabbi had issued a circular calling upon the inferior
Rabbi to make a collection in their various synagogues for
their immediate succour. The sum thus collected amounted
to above 7001. ; amongst the donors were the Messrs. Roths-
child, 100/. ; Baroness Rothschild, 50f. ; Sir Moses and Lady
Montefiore, 50/., &c., &c. There were about 1,200 poor per-
sons of the persuasion, of both sexes, present to partake of
the bounty, which was dispensed in money and tickets for
food and fuel.
WEECIL OF THE GLENLTON OF PERTH.--Some time
ago we noticed the loss of this vessel at Salt Creek, in the
Bay of Honduras, on the 9th of October last. The second
mate, James Oliver, arrived here on Thursday, having come
to Cork in the Prince Llewlellyn, of Liverpool. He states
that the vessel was driven ashore from her moorings by one
of the most dreadful hurricanes that had happened in that
quarter for many years. After the vessel was stranded, the
crew remained on board, the most of them nearly naked, for
twenty-four hours, till, the storm abating, they got on land
by means of a rope. During the hurricane the clothes of
the crew were washed ashore, and on the landing of the
second mate, the only person he perceived was an Indian
dressed in his bonnet and jacket, who betook himself imme-
diately to the woods. The crew, ten in number, were ex-
posed to a deal of privation after the disaster—so much so
that only three remained alive, two of whom were sent to
Belize in a sickly condition. The master, Forsyth, a native
of Dundee, died shortly after he landed, and the mate, who
had embarked for Cork on board the Prince Llewlellyn, died
two days before her arrival at that port.—Dundee Advertiser.
THE DOCE-YARDS.—The system at present pur-
sued in H.M. Dock-yards with regard to the economy of
labour and materials, as well as the general principles of
efficient superintendence and accountancy, is now under-
going a thorough investigation, and has been followed up at
this port during the past week by Mr. Bromley, an officer of
the Admiralty. This gentleman, who was, we believe, in-
trusted last year by the Government with an important and
confidential mission to Ireland, appears to have been directing
his attention to the method of duly accounting fror Dock-yardcharging
expenses, and more particularly to the
the expenses of building and repairing
