SPAIN.

The accounts from Andalusia, received in Madrid on
the 12th instant, led to apprehend that disturbances
would shortly occur at Malaga, Seville, and Grenada.
It was believed that the Government would demand ex-
traordinary powers from the Legislature before the close
of the session.

From Madrid we learn that there is every proba-
bility of an outbreak between Spain and Portugal.
A letter from Lisbon of the 7th had been shown to
Espartero on the 12th, purporting that a politi-
cal and religious crusade against Spain was getting
up at Lisbon. At the same time the Spanish
Government is in a state of great apprehension from
other quarters. It was expected that tumults would
shortly break out in all the great towns of Andalusia.
At Valencia the Ultra-Liberals were discontented with
Espartero's answer to the Queen's protest, and many
murders have been committed. Spain seems threatened
with a new revolution. The Republicans and Ultra-
Liberals intend framing a new Constitution, and esta-
blishing a federal Peninsular Government, to include
Portugal and Spain.
The negotiations relative to the loan of 60 millions of
reals have as yet beer. attended with no result.

GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette of the 16th announces the failure
of the firm of Thomayer and Co., of Vienna, and adds
that several commercial failures had also occurred in
Trieste.

The Gazette of Upper Germany states, under date
Silesia, 2d inst., that the corn trade was particularly
brisk in that province, and that wheat had increased 40
per cent. on account.of large orders from England.

LINES ADDRESSED TO
THE RIGHT HON. SHAW LEFEVRE,
UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN BY BOTH PARTIES TO THE
SPEAKERSHIP OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

" The greater was his respect for the character of the Right
Hon. Gentleman, who then filled the Chair, fur the manner in
which he had performed the duties of his office, for though he
was elected by one side of the House he had succeeded in
earning the esteem of both."—Speech of the Hon. Member
for Lancashire.

"Homo factus ad unguem."

Homo ad unguem factus—to express
That pregnant phrase with fitting happiness
Long Francis* toiled, but owned it passed his wit,
'Twas untranslateable—'twas exquisite :
.Most simple phrase, yet phrase whose sense combines
All that adorns true manhood or refines ; r .
Paints to the mind thota sinners troe and chiste
Which elder Athens so surremely Owed—
Shadowing forth that ease of mode and mien
So truly winning, yet so seldom seen.
Speaking a mind well-watered—and the which
Blooms with fair fruits, anditmiles with virtues rich—
Fulfilling all that golden Homer sung
Of Hybla flowing from his heroes' tongue—
The suavid air—the beauteous graciousness
Which youth so covetst and which old men bless.
Such in mine eye the true translation seemed,
And therefore Horace, I methought, bad dreamed :
Trey too ethereal and trunscendant were
To slake, for this gross world, a character—
All stemed too finely perfected for earth—
Were tut the poet's love—his fancy's birth.
Such was 1% ith me—with all—the full belief
(To poor 141manity's rebuke and grief,)
Till yesternson before our knights and princes
Felt like a truth that every mind convinces—
All swore these graces still on earth to be—.
E'en foes, LEFEVItE, found them all in thee.
O best of worthies —worthiest to be
The best-beloved by all earth's company,
Of fame unflawed without a spot or stain !
Could Horace rise in this Augustan reign,—
Thee would he own, and fold in high embrace,—
The perfect transcript of his visioned grace.
Long be thy life—long shine thou as the glass
Whence men may form and fashion as they ra. ;
Till in one wreath abo(e thy honoar'd tomb,
" Virtue " and " Goodness ' round "Lefvre" bloom.

* The elegant translator of Horace.
Lord Worsley particularly dwelt upon the readiness
with which be (Mr. Lefevre), had afforded his advice to Ho-
nourable Members, either in private Committees or otherwise,
especially to young Members.—See Election of Speaker.

THE REGISTRATION.—It should not be for-
gotten that Wednesday, August 25, will be the last
day for leaving with the overseers objections to county
electors. The Tories bestow much attention on those
matters ; and the: friends of Reform should not suffer
themselves to be surpassed by their political adversaries.
