SPAIN.

MADRID, JULY 22.—The Chamber of Deputies -of
Spain agreed, on the 22d, to the principle of the Bill rela-
tive to the alienation of the secular clergy, by a majority
of 109 to 2. Another Spanish boat was captured by
English seamen on the 16th, off Algesiras, and brought
into Gibraltar.
The Senators and Deputies, representing the province
of Cadiz have addressed a memorial to the Minister
of Finance, on the expediency of admitting the intro-
duction of British manufactured cotton goods. The
capitalists decline to conclude a loan with the Govern-
ment, so long as the Cortes shall continue open. The
Chamber of Deputies, this day threw out another amend-
ment to the Finance Minister's project for authority to
raise 3,000,000 of dollars on the mortgage of the salt and
other duties. Senor Surra y Bull made an excellent
financial speech, but all to no purpose, as the Deputies are
bent on bringing about another revolutionary [outbreak.
The funds are lower. No purchases for cash, and 24i
per cent. was obtained for Five per Cents., at 30 days'

thorise the Government to raise 60 millions of reals.
Letters from Toloso of the 24th, announce that the
Guipuscoan Deputation has disbanded the corps of Ca,
_ _ _

;adores, consisting of 300 men, and had resolved to
create a corps of Miqueletes of 60 men. The Cap-
tain -General immediately deci led, that as this step
bad been taken without the Regent's authority, no
other force should be permitted in the province but the
regular troops, and ordered the arms of the Cacadores
to be deposited at St. Sebastian. The Deputation con-
tends, but in vain, that it is an infringement of their
fueros.

THE LATEST IMPORTED.
A hangman, in Pennsylvania, intending, a short time
ago, to execute a criminal who had been condemned for
murder, put the rope round his own neck, and suffered
the extreme sentence of the law ; he did not discover
his mistake till the prisoner told him not to be putting
out his tongue to the people.
" It's getting dark," as the man said when he got a
box on the eye.
Brother Jonathan relates, that a man in Cincinnati
having fasted for six months, became at last so tarna-
tion hungry that he ate himself, and did'nt discover his
mistake till he saw one of his neighbour's dogs picking
his bones.
" I feel very queer about my stomach," as the man
said when the pike went through him.
" You're shedding innocent blood," as the man said
to the bugs.
There is a man in one of the Southern States, so broad
shouldered, that it requires nine tailors to take his mea-
sure for a coat.
" Be content with what you have," as the rat said to
the trap when he left his tail in it.
A native of Massachussets, while in the act of shav-
ing himself; cut off his head, and didn't discover his mis-
take till he stumbled over it as he left the looking-glass
" Massa be no white now—Massa black as Sarnbo."
as the nigger said when the bone stuck in Massa's throat.
There is a man in New York so long-winded that he
blew out all the lamps in the city with one little whiff.
There is a native of Kentucky whose legs are so long
that he can step over his own head without stooping—

A quare " land of liberty" this, when a man's put in
gaol for Join' what he plazes, as Paddy said to the turn-
key of the New York tolbooth.
" Come out of the mud, you dirty creature," as the
pig said to the duck.
There is a man, not a hundred miles from New York,

AN AWKWARD " MESS."—A Maine Congressman, on
arriving at Washington, wrote to his wife that he had
" formed a connexion with a very agreeable mess, and
expected to spend the winter very pleasantly." Unfortu-
nately, and greatly to the horror and indignation of his
good lady, he had inadvertently dotted the e in " mess."
This circumstance was well-nigh severing two fond hearts.
" Our church clock," says the editor of a down east
paper, " keer time so well, that we get a day out of every
week by it.'

BODY OF A SUSPECTED MURDERER FOUND.
—On Sunday morning last, the body of a man was
washed ashore at Rockport, supposed to be that of the
whs lately leaped overboard from the Aurora
personsteamer,
in Belfast Lough, while on her passage from
Glasgow. The flesh of the face, and of the entire skull,
as well as both hands, had been stripped off by the mon-
sters of the deep, so that identification by the features
of the countenance was impossible. The deceased was
dressed in a white fustain jacket, with mother-of-pearl
buttons, white fustain trousers, and black cravat. His
shoes were old and patched. In his pockets were seve-
ral jets for gas-burners, small pliers, and other articles
used in gas-fitting, together with the copy of a song,
apparently cut out of a newspaper. From the sinewy
appearance of the limbs, it is though the suicide cannot
have been more than 30 years of age ; and it is further
conjectured that his name was Hume, and that he was
driven to the commission of the act of self-destruction
by the fear of apprehension on a charge of being con-
cerned in the murder of a hatter, at Glasgow,—/telft'd
i Whig.
