SPAIN..

Accounts from Madrid of the sth instant state
that the QUEEN was to leave Lt midnight on the 6th
for La Granja. General NARVAEZ was to follow on
the 9th or 10th, and the Minister of the Interior on
the 15th, after which period all the members of the
Council will be united at La Granja. General Count
MIRASOL took possession on the sth of the Captaincy-
General of Madrid. The deficit in the Bank of San
Fernando was calculated at at out 20,000,000 reels.
The bank, however, was in a condition to meet all its
engagements.
The Fomento, Barcelona journal, of the sth inst.,
announces that CABRERA had positively entered Ca-
talonia, at the head of twenty horsemen, arid that
he had been seen a few days be fore at Borreda.
The Journal des Debats punishes the following
letter, dated Catalonia, 4th inst.. :
" It appears, from an official :report, that de three
columns, commanded by Brigs direr Manzano, Colonel
Zauch, and Lieut.-Colonel Bofill fe 11 in, on the 28th ult.,
at three o'clock P.M., with 500 Montemolinists, com-
manded by Cabrera, Boquica, Cast ell, and others. The
engagement took place near Sarnalo3s, a village situate be-
tween Barcelona and Matano, wit'ai'n 30 kilometres of the
former and 20 of the latter. Calsrera and his followers
occupied two steep hills, easily defended, from which
the Queen's troops dislodged th am at the point of the
bayonet, after various movement s, which lasted upwards
of six hours. Tho Montemoli nists lost twelve killed,
whose bodies wero found ors the field of battle, I

thirty wounded, and twenty prisoners ; they
had besides five horses killed. The Queen's troops,
consisting of detachments of the regiments of the King
and Union and of the battalion of chasseurs of Alba de
Tormas had but one soldier killed and 11 wounded—two
of them were officers. Cabrera and his partisans assem-
bled again on the 30th on the heights of Monseny,
within five myriametres of Barcelona. It is assured
that a high personage, supposed to be the younger
brother of Count de Montemolin, accompanies in-
cog. the celebrated chief. It is added that
Cabrera, who wears a splendid uniform of a Spanish
General and a white beret, never speaks to that person-
age without uncovering himself, and that everybody, the
chaplains included, treats him with the greatest respect.
Fears are entertained that before a month the insurrec-
tion will have assumed a formidable aspect. Several new
bands have appeared on different points."

SPORTING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The victory of Surplice on the Epsom Downs
has not altogether decided the fate of the St. Leger.
Springy Jack is quite as elastic as ever, and, if anything,
in better condition now than he was on the Derby day;
this added to the shape, size (about sixteen hands),
strength, and splendid condition of the new arrival from
the " gem of the sea," which, by the way, if his late
owner is to be believed, will do that " Justice to Ireland"
and to the Duke of Bedford at Doncaster which so
delighted the Irish division in '44 and '45.
The above three, in addition to Loadstone, Flatcatcher,
and one or two obscures, are all that are likely to con-
tend for the northern championship.
The Flying Dutchman's running during the past week
proves him to be a flyer indeed, and at all times "over
the fiat," will be found a most dangerous opponent; but
on a close inspection I was inclined to think his staying
qualities over a hilly course to be rather inferior than
otherwise, and should consequently give the pas to his
stable companion Elthiron for the Derby spin.
Of the dark division engaged in the Derby of '49, I
should select Uriel, Rebecca colt, Saucy Dick, Nunny-
kick, and John Bull, as the best to winter on.

The Liverpool meeting this year is not by any means
up to the mark, which may be attributed to various
causes, among others the death of Mr. Etty, the late
clerk of the course, whose indefatigable exertions of
late years have so well seconded the plans of Lord G.
Bentinck in rendering the Liverpool a first-rate meeting.
The 200 Sovs. Produce Stakes has out of twenty nomi-
nations from Derby cracks, Honeycomb, The Flying
Dutchman, the Rebecca colt, and Chantrey. Were they
all to run, I should expect, to see them pass the post in
the order placed, but I believe Honeycomb, the colt,
and Chantrey will be absentees, thus leaving the Flyer
alone in his glory.
The Sefton Stakes to Miss Orbell.

The Mersey Stakes to Strongbow or Elthiron with a
start, in their absence to Mr. Green.

The Derby Handicap to Christopher, Sagacity, or
Betty Swipes.
The Foal Stakes to the Crazy Lad.
The Match between Uriel and Fitzpatrick to the
former, in a canter.

The Liverpool St. Leger to Flatcatcher.
The Aintree Stakes V) Hard Shot, Strongbow, or
Rowland, the last two for first and second places.
The Liverpool Cup, with twenty-one acceptances, will
have about fourteen starters, viz.:—
