SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 29th and 30th ult. have
arrived.

At present there is a momentary lull, or rather a
stagnation, in affairs both political and commercial.
As yet this momentary crisis gives no prospect of
termination ; but a decree is daily expected com
pelling the Bank shareholders to pay in 25 per cent.
On the evening of the 28th General NARVAEZ had
entertained M. DE LESSEPS at a banquet; and it was
generally rumoured that the French Ambassador had
remonstrated with the Government of her Most
Catholic MAJESTY upon the abrupt and discourteous
dismissal of Sir HENRY BULWER—representing that
that act as beyond justification.

On the 24th the Prussian Ambassador to the Court
of ISABELLA arrived at Cadiz, and proceeded on the
following day to Seville, on his way to the capital.
M. FERDINAND DE LESSEPS, Envoy from the
French Republic, accompanied by his first secretary,
M. DE VALOIS, was received by the QUEEN the day
before yesterday. Some French citizens having been
arrested within these few days, M. DE LESSEPS has
addressed reclamations on their behalf to the Spanish
Government.

MADRID BOLSA.—Three per Cents. 311 Five
per Cents., 13i both paper. Exchange on London,

PORTUGAL.

Letters and papers from Lisbon of the 29th ult.
indicate, in a rather significant manner, the senti-
ments with which the English Government is re-
garded by the dominant party in Portugal.

The circumstance to which we allude was the pub-
lication, by the official organ, of the account of Sir H.
BuLw.Eß's expulsion from Madrid immediately the
news of that disgraceful act arrived. The gleeful
hurry of this proceeding requires no comment.

The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship America, Captain Judkins, left Liverpool on
Saturday, at twelve o'clock, for Halifax and Boston,
carrying her Majesty's mails and 70 passengers.

The office of Searcher in the Customs at Preston having
become vacant, the situation has been filled up by the
transfer to Preston of the searcher belonging to the port
of Goole ; and as it appeared, upon inquiry, that the
place at Goole might be abolished, without detriment to
the interests of the revenue, the Lords of the Treasury
have given notice that the office of Searcher be sti uck
off the establishment of the port of Goole, and the
revenue exonerated from the expenses thereof..
THE LATE VISCOUNT STAVORDALE.— Ihe mortal
remains of this nobleman were interred on Wednesday
