GASTELAR'S SPEECH AGAINST THE DUO

OF AOSTA.

- - --
When the candidature of— the Duke of Aosta vine
solemnly proposed to the Cortes by Marshal Prinki3O
Castelar made a long and eloquent speech denouncing t"
policy of the Government, and opposing the candidature
of the Duke in the strongest manner. Great interest iv°
felt in this speech which had been ailtLel.
pated with the keenest interest and created
A
a profound impression. Castelar complained that tge
army had been told of the candidature a day before the
Cortes, thus proving that the government attached more
importance to the bayonets of the soldiers than to the.
votes of the popular representatives. The situation °I
Spain 'might be graphically summed up as the
substitution of the personal policy of the Preside°
of the Council for the dynastic policy of Isabella 11. Ole
evil, would produce a host of other evils—at home chenl4
abroad war. Referring to his own gloomy anticipation.'
when previously addressing them, Castelar exclaimed'
" More than once I warned you that this manner
of seeking of foreign kings throughout the world,
would produce some dreadful catastrophe. !I
my presentiment was tragic, still more trag°,
has been the reality. When I hear the lamentations °'
widows and orphans, the fall of cram ling cities ; wh
I see half a million corpses deprived of sepulture, y)
spreading pestilence around; when I see Paris, the
capital of the human race, threatened 9'4,
Rome was by Alaric, I cannot understand
Ministers of the Monarchy, why you have net, '
disappeared, crushed by the burden of your remorse
After, declaring that an elective monarchy lost even the
traditionary advantages a an hereditary monarchy, the
orator made a severe attack upon General Prim. The
ancient poets, he said, called Jupiter the father of V'
and men ; modern historians might call General Prim the
father of princes and kings. He held the Crown of Spain
in hiSr bands, and had offered it in turn to the
princes of the houses of France and Germany, and
of the Machivellist and ambitious house of SavoY.
Italy had twice refused to give Spain a king, for when
France was strong she dared not. " You rely on diPl°'
macy," continued the orator, "for the support of your
monarchy. But the works of diplomacy are
always fragile. Diplomacy organised the monarchial
of all Europe at Vienna and Verona. Wll4
remains of that organisation ? The Bourbons of Frances
of Naples, of Spain and Parma, the Archuukes of Tug'
cany and Modena, the Bavarian dynasty of Greece, the
Pope, the King of Hanover and the Elector of Hesse,
all alike have disappeared, while in Ameried
monarchical diplomacy sees with horror .a great
country without kings. An illustrious prince of the
House of Hapsburg seated himself on a throne raised hY
European diplomacy by the side of the great American
Republic, then engaged in a gigantic war. A wife of
great heart and great intelligence accompanied hini•
What a tragedy ! Shakspere has written non?
parallel. In a few years that Emperor, pierce'
to the heart by the balls of republicans, is a<.
corpse, and that Empress, her heart pierced by bitter
sorrows, is worse than a corpse, a maniac. You may
shew your new king a great people to reign over, a great
crown to wear, the palace at Madrid to live hit
the throne of Ferdinand for his footstool; but
amidst all these grandeurs he will see floating
the two Imperial figures of Mexico, like those
figures of Dante's Inferno pouring rivers of blood and
tears, and teaching by their mournful example that the
same causes produce the same effects. All the other can'
didates have better ground than yours. Don Caring
would be reaction and vengeance ; an absurd can'
didate in our days, no doubt, but at least
he would represent one idea, one class—the clergy
Don Alfonso is not less absurd, but he would represent a
tradition. The Duke of Montpensier would symbol's'
the Monarchy, most abhorrent to Republicans, but he
would represent in Spain, as his family did in France, the
transition, from legitimacy to modern Monarchy, fro"
the privileges of the aristocracy to those of the middle
class. This is an idea which has immense force in the
present day. Will you tell me what your candidate
represents ?

After an animated eulogium on Espartero, Castelar
proceeded to discuss General Prim, whose character was,
he admitted, deserving of every respect, while his policy
was open to criticism. Is General Prim, he asked, one of
those great politicians who renew society by their faith in
one idea? No. He is indifferent to all ideas alike. To
be one of those statesmen like Cavour and Bismarck,
who enlarge empires and aggrandise peoples? No. On
two occasions he might have followed that policy, and
those two occasions he has missed. His god is chance,
his religion is fanaticism, his only support is the arinh
his only faith is in force, his only ideal is a present chaos,
and his only aspiration the advent of his party to power.
Behold, senors, to what the throne of Ferdinand has been
reduced in Spain." After discussing the rival principles
of the. Latin and German races, Castelar declared that the
House of Savoy could claim the sympathies of no party,
because for the Liberals it was the gaoler of Mazzini
and the scourge of Garibaldi, and for the Catholics the
gaoler of the Pope and the scourge of Qatholicism. What
were they to expect from their new King? In politics a
restricted suffrage, privileged Chambers, a perse-
cuted press, in finance a paper money, disorder,
perhaps bankruptcy. For national aggrandisement, his
sister in Portugal as an obstacle to Iberian unity, and his
father, a courtier.of England, as an obstacle to the re-
sumption of Gibraltar. The commission charged to offer

him the Crown should warn him that he must not be sur-
prised by the reception that awaits him, for that on the
Spanish soil the very stones of the road will on his passage
cry out " Viva la Republica 1"

SERIOUS RIOT IN CORK.
CORK, SUNDAY NIGHT.

A desperate riot, between soldiers and civilians,
occurred here to-night, about nine o'clock. A body Of
soldiers, 50 strong, from all the regiments in garrison,
marched into the city to avenge the death of
a private of the Ist Dragoons, who was fatally
injured in a row with civilians last Sunday. TheY
entered a public-house in Bridge-street, and commenced
an indiscriminate attack on the people drinking there.
A fierce fight ensued, and the civilians, assisted
by the mob from the streets, put Ithe soldiers to
flight. Shortly afterwards a second party of soldiers 40
strong, sallied out of barracks to assist their comrades,
and came down King-street, shouting, breaking glass, and
beat ing-ev eryone they met. They were arrested by the police
under Sub-Inspector Egan, before they could come into
collision with the civilians awaiting them in Bridge-street.
and a worse riot than the first was thus prevented. On
the way back to barrack the soldiers broke from the police
several times to attack the civilians, and in the Military.
road stones were thrown at both soldiers and policemen.
The city is now tranquil. Many persons have been
severely hurt on both sides.

The Irish "national" papers express a confident
hope that the "political prisoners will be permitted to
enjoy a happy Christmas and a merry New Year, by"
being released by Mr. Gladstone.

The Manchester Courier states that one of the
greatest Conservative gatherings ever held in that city is
expected to take place on the 10th of next month. The
occasion is a banquet which is to be given to Mr•
Birley,

THE SIIO 0 T ING CASE IN WA LES.—W illiani
Powell, the sailor who was convicted of the manslaughter
of Mary Rowlands, of Llandudno, has been committed,
on the coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the next
Carnarvon March Assizes.

UNATTACHED PROMOTION IN THE ARmy.—lt
may be some satisfaction to those officers of the army who
have accepted unattached promotion to know that their
claims for difference of full pay up to the time when they
ceased to perform duty with their former regiments, will
be recognised by the War Department.

CACAOINE. —Cacoa nibs on the removal of the oil fall
nto powder, and this powder is caciioine. Cacaolne contains
neither sugar nor any other admixture whatever. Cacdoine makes
one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most de
sirablo of all for use in the later hours of the day. Cacloine, by
reason of the ingenious method by which the oil is removed, pre-
serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibs.—Prepared only
