SPIRIT OF THE PitESS,
THE FATAL DUEL IN SPAIN.

The Tines, referring to . the catastrophe in Spain,
observes it would be impossible to say in what degree this
new disappointment of long-cherished hopes may have
contributed to embitter Montpensier's mind. Prim's
" Never " must have soundedlike a death-knell to the pre-
tensions of the Orleans Prince, and people were at a loss
for any cause which could still detain him in the capital
where the result of the debate of thesth had placed him in
so false a position. His purpose is now too evident, and
all that remains to be ascertained is whether the quarrel
was of his own seeking or whether he received a challenge
which he had not the courage to decline. We shall
not venture- to foretell how Montpensier's_ prospects as a
candidate for the Spanish throne may be affected by this
fatal dueL With respect to the Code of Honour different
notions prevail among civilized nations. In this country
a breach of the law, no matter under what pretext, would
d;squalify one aspiring to be its guardian and avenger.
We hardly know what even the chivalrous Spanisl•
p;:ople will think of these two Royal relatives so eagerly
on sledding, each other's blood, and so obstinately
persisting in their intention when, after a double exchange
of shots, the
~exigencies of the most punctilious honour
might have been satisfied.

MURDER IN- SPITALFIELDS.

A friendly lead was announced to be held on Sa-
turday night at the Ship Tavern, kept by Messrs. 11.
and J. Cooper, Bacon street, Spitalfields, at which
John Butter, aged 21, and his brother. in-law, Ilenry
Porker, a wood chopper, attended. From some
cause at present unknown words ensued, when
Butter left the house, followed by Parker, who as
soon as he reached the street -deliberately put hi,
hand into his pocket, drew oat a large t3p:-
knife, and.plunged it into Entt..r's breast between
the n.pple and collar bonP, penetrating to the
Icart. The murderer withdrew the Lnife and made
his escape. The dece:ised instantly fell to the
ground, and blood poured from the woun'l in a
stream. He was immediately conveyed by some of
the persons present to the surgery of Dr. Cayton,
85, Brick-lane, who found life to be ext7nct. The
police at once proceeded to No. 36, Canal-road,
Kingsland road, the residence of both the deceased
and his murderer, but Parker hcd not been home.
He is well known to the police, but has not yet been
apprehended.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

It has been notified by the Quartermaster-Gene-
ral that the 27th Regiment will be stationed at
Colchester instead of the Ist Battalion 4th Foot, as
originally announced. The depot 81st Regiment
will be attached to the 27th Foot, and will be
shortly removed from Colchester to Ireland. The
depot 2d Dragoon Guards, consisting of two officers
and 31 men, will arrive at Colchester from Canter-
bury this afternoon to await the arrival of the ser-
vice troops.
.1
Orders have been received at the School of Mili-
tary Engineerhjig at Chatham that the 3d Company
of Royal Engineers, stationed there, are shortly to
leave for service •in Canada. An order arrived at
Chatham on Saturday that this company, and also
some 60 other non-commissioned Wheels and men
under orders for foreign s,3rvice, arc to be medically
inspected forthwith, to be ready to leave.
There was again a discharge-of 50 mechanics and
labour. rs from Chatham dockyard on Saturday.
Though the Admiralty have consenttd to make au
increase in the pay of some of the men who formerly
worked " factory" hours, and who have suffered by
the recent change to the common hours of Chatham
dockyard, it is underwood that only the Plumbers;
the braziers, and the double firemen in the second
class in the smitheries will have an increase-3d. a
day ; other men, who were formerly " factory" hands,
are not, it would seem, to have any increase. We
understand that the sum for which Deptford Dock-
yard has been disposed of is £75,000.
A telegram from Alexandria announces the de-
par.ure thence of her Majesty's Indian troops Lip
Serapis on the morning of the 11th inst. ; all well.

, We are authorised to inform officers on the Active
Lists of the Royal Navy on half-pay who may not
have received the general circular respecting naval
retirement that it will be forwarded to them on their
making either written or personal application to the
Admiralty. No officers on the Retired Lists are
affected by the schemes.

Her Majesty's screw corvette Juno, Capt. Hard-
ing, sailed from Spithead on :Friday morning for

The, eastern military district is to be enlarged.
Provision has been made in the Estimates for the
ensuing financial year for a Major-General, an As-
sistant Adjutant-General, a Major of Brigade, and
an Aide-de-Camp for the district.
In abolishing the " non- professional " writers in
Chatham dockyard the Admiralty have shown a kind
consideration for them. No fewer than eight have
now left, or received notice to leave, but in every
case the writers have been provided for at leait for a
time by their appointment temporarily as writers in
the Accountant-General's office at the Admiralty.
Messrl: Brown and Glegg have just received notice
that they-axe to leave the dockyard forthwith, but to
be -employed in the Admiralty.
Capt. -Richard Francis George Cumberland, late
of the Scots Fusilier Guards, whose death has been
announced, was one of the few remaining Penins:ilar
veterans. Being Page of Honour to George 111., he
obtained his commission in that regiment as ensign
and lieutenant in 1809 ; and having been subse-
quently appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of
Wellington was present at most of the great actions
in the Peninsular, and was actually engaged at the
Siege of Badajoz, in the Battles of th Nive and
Nivelle, and in the sortie from Bayonne, where he
was wounded. The deceased officer received the war
medal with three clasps for Nive, Nivelle, and
Badajoz.

Mr. Stephen Gladstone, a son of ohe Prime Minis-
ter, was yesterday ordained a priest of the Church of Eng-
land, by the Bishop of Winchester, in the parish Church of
Lambeth.

Private advices received at San Francisco from
Mexico state that a public meeting was held in Topic on
the 15th of January, which declared in favour of the in-
dependence of the North-Western States, including Chi-
huahua, Durang), Sonora, Sinaloa, Lower California, and
a portion of Jalisco. Generals Lozado and Pedro Vega
are the leaders of the now movement. It is claim that
the people of all the States named, and the Governors of
Sonora, Chihuahua, and Lower California favour inde-
pendence. The Governors of Sinaloa and Durango ad
here to President Juarez. Tho Cable advices, via New
York, from the Juarez party, declare that the insurrection
in the Northern States of the Republic is being rapidly
suppressed. Such assertions aro always made ; for in-
stance, the Spanish accounts from Cuba, via Now York,
are that several insurgent bands have surrendered, and
that the revolt is subsiding.
UAUTION TO ofECULATORS.— vice-unancenor manns, m
giving judgement, in the case of the Heaton Steel and
Iron Company, which was a petition presented by Mr.
Andrews, one of the shareholders, for a winding-up order,
commented strongly on the precipitancy of the share-
holder, who now petitioned the court. The company
was formed for the purpose of working a patent obtained
for an improved mode of manufacturing steel from a low
quality of iron The promoters expected to raise £400,000,
but, after being in operation some time, they only realised
about a fortieth part of that sum: Mr. Andrews
had subscribed £lOO to the concern, and feel-
ing dissatisfied, he lodged the present petition. His
Honour remarked on the reckless manner in which such
companies were started, without any reasonable expecta-
tion of realising the glowing expectations held out in the
prospectuse.,. At the same time he should dismiss this
petition, it being one of those vexatious proceedings in-
stituted by dissatisfied shareholders, who should have ex-
ercised more caution before embarking their capital ii
schemes not likely to turn out profitable.

been again before the Chief Clerk in the Rolls' Chambers,
the compromise question and the "B " shares being
considered. The A " list had been exhaused on the
£lO call, and the "B "' list was to be made liable for
calls transferred since January 1866. A proposal of £l5
per share had been made as a compromise, in consequence
of the suffering already endured by the parties. 'There
were some objections raised to the matter, but it was in-
sisted that no alteration should be made. However, the
Chief Clerk, on learning that the arrangement would pro-
duce about £50,000, thought that the parties could well
afford a few Donnas costa vex' the inattq, Rtood over.
ARSON BY A LUNATIC.—At the Maidstone assizes, James
Garrett, a wild-looldng man, was charged with arson. The
prosecutor who is the prisoner's father, is a coal merchant
at Maidstone. He saw his son go up to some buildings
cud put Hilted matches inside throilgh a hole. He said
that the prisonerhad for some time acted in an extraordinry
manner, and had set fire to a ro.-un. He had two other
eons, one of whom had been in a lunatic asylum for fifteen
years, and the other for thirty. The Prisoner had twice
enlisted, bit the sur,geons had refused to pass him, as his
brain was diseased. Lie jury returned a verdict of not
;may on the ground of insanity.
The death is announced of Sir Miriam Plmiket
de Bathe, the third baronet. He v.-as brim in 1793, and
succeeded his I)rother in 1823. Ile had been a lieutenant-
colonel in the army, lieutenant-colonel in the Meath

colonel in the Scots Fusilier Guards, and served in the
Crimea, being present at the siege of Sebastopol. Hugo
