SPAIN.

MADRID, May 20.

It is announced that a telegram has been received from
Logrono stating that Marshal Espartero gave a most
cordial reception to the deputation of members of the Es-
partero party in the,Cortes, and that in replying to their
request, he concluded by expressing his willingness to
sacrifice himself for his country.
The deputation, the rumour proceeds to state, would
return to Madrid to-morrow. Notwithstanding this mes-
sage, the general belief is that the Espartero candidature
will fall to the grouncl.

The last of the despatches is from Signor della Minerva,
the Italian Envoy in Athens, dated the stb of this month.
It says that the Greek Government committed a fault by
not having apprised the public and the foreign legation of
the existence of the band of brigands, and of the dangers
to which the tourists were likely to be exposed on that
excursion.

Signor della Minerva confirms the news that the French
Government has addressed an energetic note to the Greek
Government, making the latter responsible for any ransom
fOr French subjects who might be captured by brigands
through neglect of the local authorities.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 20.

It is asserted that the Persian Envoy will lodge a pro-
test with the Porte against recent violations of the Persian
frontier committed by Midhat Pasha, the Turkish com-
mander of the frontier forces.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, May 20, Evening.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the esti-
mates of the Ministry of Public Works were agreed to.
Count Arrivabene, speaking of the port of Brindisi,
pointed out the excellent results experienced in the
through transit of the mails to India, and its advantages
over other routes.

He urged the Ministry to improve the condition of that
port.

The Minister of Public Works replied that improve.
meats for the through transit were being actively car•
ried on.

A new series of documents on the tragedy at Marathon
has been distributed in the Chamber of Deputies.
They comprise a report of the Greek Colonel Theagenis,
in which he declares that if the body of troops which had
arrived from Chalcis had fulfilled its purpose, the opera-
tions against the brigands would have had a different
result.

Another document states that the captured brigands
confess that their leaders insisted upon the amnesty
owing to counsels from persons in high position at Chalcis.

A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE FOR EAST
SUFFOLK.

A Conservative candidate has been found at the last
moment to contest the vacant seat for East Suffolk.
Arthur Philip, Viscount Mahon, is announced to take the
position which previously he had scrupled to assume. In
view of opposition Sir Shafto Adair has issued a further
address. He impresses upon his supporters the necessity
for immediate action, and proposes to commence a can-
vas forthwith. He further states that he shall remain in
Suffolk until the termination of the election, and will
visit the districts during the ensuing week. Viscount
Mahon, though a nephew to Sir Shaft Adair, is a stranger
to the county.

An Artist on Art.

The practice of painting was the subject of an
interesting lecture by Sir Digby Wyatt in the Fitz-
william Museum, Cambridge. He said that so far
as processes went, it seemed that those used
in ancient days were the same as those at
present in vogue. He thought it was highly
important .the artist should be educated by
the training of his eye, his mind, and his hand. He
who would draw correctly must learn to draw slowly.
Regarding the merits and demerits of the works of
artists, he considered that the demerits were when
the representation failed to lead the mind to any-
thing, or when nature was distorted. The merits
consisted of a just representation of form, race, age,
and natural features of humanity, of all that was
beautiful without flattery, "of dignity where_ dig-
nity of expression was required, and vigour where
vigour was necessary. In fact, for a picture to be
true it must be correct to nature."

Occupation for Leisure Hours.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals will be 'mortified to find that they have
made an important omission in the discharge of
their duties. Happily the mistake has been
discovered and partly rectified by the vigilance of a
looker-on. It appears from the details of a sporting
journal that a benevolent naturalist was shocked at the
cruelty of leaving the animals at the Zoological Gar-
dens to their own devices, and determined
to provide them with means of entertainment. His
charity began at home, for he exerted himself to
obtain some amusement for a young otter in his pos-
session, and made a wooden ball which was highly
approved of by the object of his labours. He was
not so fortunate in the furtherance of his scheme,
for the elephants and rhinoceroses were too much in
earnest, and were forbidden to play with their toys
indoors, as there was some danger of their houses
being swept down by the violence of their move-
ments. It is satisfactory to find that the polar bear
is " immensely amused" with the toy which has been
presented to him, and 'doubtless he is not the only
one who experiences the same sensation in regard to
eze affair.

THE NEUTRALITY OF LUXEMBURG.

of which gained currency at Treves, resolbes itself, on in-
quiry, into the purchase of tobacco and sugar at Schengen
by some French soldiers who had crosed the Moselle

THE WASTE OF WATER.

Droughts have of late years been sufficiently
common in Europe to draw the attention of English-
men to a fact which, in their anxiety to secure an
efficient system of drainage, they are very likely
to forget. Too little water is as bad for the
se_sil as too much, and in the general desire to get rid of
all super-fluous moisture there has been no sort of
provision made for storing the rainfall in case of pro-
tracted drought. We all knuw the unfavourable con-
sequences. The failure of the hay crop of 1870
has cost England dearly. The dairy farmers
in particular have suffered greatly this
summer, and their cattle have been miserably short
of water. We have not, indeed, reached the
terrible condition of some parts of France,
in which people have been absolutely for-
bidden to water their herds, no water
being used for any purpose but that of quenching
human thirst. We have lost and suffered enough,
however, to make us wiser for the future, and while
the rainfall of this country is what it is, it must be
our own fault if we cannot devise some simple and
inexpensive system of storage by which the excess of
one season may be applied to the deficiencies of the
next.

needs the alliance, or at least the neutrality, of Italy.
It is probable that this last is the most which he will
get. An offensive and defensive alliance may be the
wish of the KING, it is certainly not the wish of the
people of Italy. Already they have given conclu-
sive evidence that they will not have such an
alliance. The Chambers have given VISCONTI
VENOSTA to understand that a large por-
tion of their members will not suffer any French
alliance, and the prospect of it has already
led to serious disturbances, which in Milan
have, it is reported, culminated in a fight
between the populace and the police. The.rumour is
prevalent that GARIBALDI is ready to rise;
and of course it is added that he has received large
supplies of Prussian gold. If this be true, the
Italian Government will need all its forces at home to
act as guardians of the peace, and there is little chance
of any active alliance with either of the two comba-
tants who are about to deluge Europe with blood.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Sailors arriving from foreign parts, soldiers returning
from furlough, and poor persons coming from large
British towns where smallpox is always present,
spread - the infection in some cases.
Vaccination is not always successful in Ire-
land. According to the returns of the population,
the number of vaccinations last year by dispensary
medical officers should have been 150,000, whereas
less than 118,000 children were vaccinated. Eight
of the deaths which occurred from smallpox last
year took place in the union of Castlebar, where an
outbreak of smallpox had occurred in 1868. The Poor
Law Commissioners reported that this was clearly
traceable to culpable negligence in not adopt-
ing the measures provided by the Legislature
for enforcing the Compulsory Vaccination Act,
and also to the operations of an inoculator.

PERU.

Advices from Lima, under date of the 28th ult., bring
us the highly satisfactory intelligence of the restoration
of pacific relations between that Republic awl
After the manifestations of honour and respect made by
General Melgarejo to the Peruvian Envoy Extraordinary,
Senor Garcia y Garcia,the important business of the mission
was entered upon, and after several conferences upon the
subject. the following terms of agreement were accorded to.
Ist The offending, Bolivian officer, General Antezana,
should be cashiered from the services, and immediately tried
criminally for the outrages he perpetrated in Pernvian
territory, with the armed forces then under his com-
mand. 2nd. The sum of ten thouseind sols should be
paid by the Government of Bolivia to the government cf
Peru as indemnification to the anfferers from
the incursion. 3rd. The Peruvian flag, flying from
the house of the Legation at La Paz should
be saluted by a Bolivian battery of artillery, and the:
Minister from Bolivia in Lima should receive special
orders from his Government to manifest to that of Peru
the regrets of the Bolivian authorities for the occurrences
that gave rise to the misunderstanding and assurances
that such events would not again take place. This con-
elusion of the question fully satisfies the honour and the
dethandS of Peru, and General Melgarejo by his
ready acquiescence to the terms exacted has gained
for himself a much snore enviable reputation for justice
and good sense than had he determined to leave the
matter to the arbitrament of war. The bravery of the
Bolivians has been proved too well in their former diffi-
culties with Peru to leave room for any doubt on the sub-
ject, ts.fisl it is a matter of general rejoicing that tho
affair has ilia with such a favourable solution. The effect
in Lima was to fully restore public confidence in all Go-
vernment securities. The Peruvian press was busily
discussing the advantages of a colonization scheme
made by Mr. A. D. Piper, • an American
citizen, and it was announced that the decision of .the
government on the proposal would be in favour of the
enterprise. A large grant of land has already been
obtained by. this gentleman from Bolivia for the same
purposes. The railroads and public works were steadily
progressing, and an expedition under the charge of Mr.
Gerritt 8. Backuswell known in the United States,, had
been sent by the goVerninent to survey a linessf road to
Ay.xucho and nuancavelica, the site of the famous
quicksilver mine of Santa Barbara, considered as second
only to the Almaden in California.

LATEST FROM THE FRONTIERS.

The Paris journals of Wednesday publish official
information communicated by Government, which
states that-no Prussian troops are visible from Con-
stance to Bale. A small corps of infantry has ar-
rived at Hollengen, near Rheinfelden, where the
Wurtemburgers are forming a corps of observation. The
Wurtemburg troops extend from Rastadt by the valleys
of Kintzieg and Kniebies from Langskirch to Fribourg.
The Val Denfer is still free, and the pass of
the Istein Rock above Mulhain is unoccupied. A scarcity
of provisions and forage exists in Prussia. No garrison
will be sent to Lauterburg or Arssemburg, as their occu-
pation by the enemy would have no strategic importance.
The Emperor will address a proclamation to the army on
arriving at head-quarters.

GENERAL ADVANCE OF TIIE PRUSSIANS.
The Prussians are concentrating their Rhine army on
the French frontier, between Treves and Mouzingen. A
general and immediate advance of the Prussian army into
France is expected by all the Germans of the Rhine. A
force of 70,000 men occupies Mayence ; and in Cologne
there is a body of 30,000 cavalry fully equipped and
ready for any sudden transference.

FAILURE IN BRADFORD.

It has been ascertained that the liabilities of Messrs.
Hallewell and Crabtree, wool, merchants, Bradford, whose
failure has been already announced, are not likely to ex-
ceed one hundred and twenty thousand pounds. One
hundred thousand of this amount has been incurred on
behalf of the Constantinople Arm, and the assets will
greatly depend upon the realisation of that estate. The
claim of the Bradford Banking Company against Halle-
well and Crabtree is under ten thonsaud pounds. It is
not expected that there will be a creditors' meeting until
about the middle of August,

STREET REFORMS.

Mr. Page, formerly Acting-Engineer of the Tunnel,
writes to the Times on the subject of street reforms,
and suggests many improvements that might be
made. He condemns the present system of pouring
water over streets from which the dirt has
not been removed, and objects to the dust-cart
system as injurious to health and traffic. He pro-
poses that boys should be employed to clean the
streets, and then to water them by the hose-pipes
screwed on to the mains of the water supply. The
dust-carts should be as near the ground as possible,
so that their contents need not be exposed,
and when filled should be securely covered. If the
dust holes were cleared twice a week it would be an
improvement on the health and comfort of all around.
In conclusion, Mr. Page remarks that as paupers to the
number of 127,600 have to be supported, the labour
of these persons might ho turned to account by im-
proving the sanitary condition of the metropolis.
Ile considers that under a system of engineering
autocracy the poor rates of the country could be
greatly reduced.

MARK-LANE,

Quietness has been the feature of the grain trade at
Mark-lane to-day. There has been a moderate supply of
English wheat on sale, including some additional samples
of new produce. For all descriptions the demand has
been quiet at above late rates. With foreign wheat the
market has been fairly supplied. Sales have, progressed
slowly at drooping prices. The show of barley has been
moderate, without being active ; the trade has been firm.
at full quotations.

SIR,—We notice in your evening edition of yester-
day a paragraph headed• as above, and which is in-
accurate in one or more important particulars. The
respondent, Mrs. Eaton, is not, as you state,
the daughter of the canon referred to, but of a
gentleman residing in Tasmania, and the marriage
in question took place in that island, not at West Kirby.
Your reporter is correct in stating that the co-respondent,
F. A. Campbell, is a Rear-Admiral in her Majesty's Navy.
We shall feel obliged by your insertion of this letter.—
And are, sir, yours obediently, the petitioners' proctors,

DANGER OF THROWING FUZEES IN THE

STREET.

Two serious fires occurred this morning through the
dangerous practice of persons smoking throwing the re-
mains of lighted fuzees into the street. One happened in
the premises of Mr. G. A. Christmas, a florist, No. 257,
Camberwell-road. In the course of a few minutes the
front shop and the first floor were in flames, and the fire
quickly extended to 257, belonging to Mr. T. P. Hubble,
a dyer, as well as to No. 353, in the occupation of Mr. E.
Field, a furrier. The flames were not subdued until two
houses were partly destroyed, and the last named greatly
damaged by fire, water, &c. The principal loss will fall
upon the County Fire Office. The other fire took place
at No. 71, Marylebone-lane, belonging to Mr. G. Fuller-
ton, a tobacconist, and Mr. J. W. Edgar, a gas fitter.
The shops were in a blaze before an engine had time to
arrive, Both shops were burned out; and the rest of the
buildings seriously damaged.

BRITISH ARCH/EOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Several of the members of the Royal Archaeological
Institution made an excursion yesterday to Ashby.de-la-
Zouch, Tutbury, and Tamwol th. Others inspect the tem-
porary museum in the free library, which is rich in Roman
remains, and has a fine show of Roman pottery. Among
the historic portraits were Prince Arthur and Prince
Rupert, and there were several articles of dress belonging
to Queen Elizabeth. Among the autographs were those of
Queens Mary and Elizabeth,Kings Edward VI. HenryVll,
and VIII. and Richard 111., with two charters by King
John. There are also many ancient manuscripts and a
quantity of armour. The Mayor of Leicester, George
Stevenson, Esq., invited the members of the Association
to a conversazione at the Museum, to which the principal
residents of the neighbourhood were invited.

MR. MULL AND THE PREMIER.

In the Nonconformist, Mr. Miall, whose speech last
week, on the third reading of the Education Bill, pro-
voked Mr.. Gladstone to a very warm reply,
thus alludes to the subject :—" It may be well
for the chief of the Administration to bear in
mind that freedom of speech is sometimes the best safety-
valve for disappointments that might have been avoided,
but are found to be irreparabie. It cannot be said that
the most advanced section of his supporters has been
the least proud of his generalship, or the most disposed to
hold back from the yoke he has imposed upon it. On the
whole, the members of it have, perhaps, been less out-
spoken than they should have been. It is
a disagreeable duty, no doubt, even when it
is forced upon one by the necessity of the case, to stand
up against trusted friends in order to save deserted prin-
ciples. But it is a duty which must sometimes fall to
the lot of those who would fain have shunned it ;
and, in this case. we are convinced that it was better even
for the Government itself that the duty should be
thoroughly discharged than that it should have been
left undone. It is the thunderstorm which clears the
air. It is after sharp collisions that solid under-
standings are usually arrived at. It is better
for the Premier, and it is better for the Dissenting
communities, that the real foundation upon which the rela-
tions between them ultimately rests should be ascertained
by trial. There is nothing more dangerous for a party than
the suppressed dissatisfaction of any a'tive section of it. If
the session had closed without the Government being pub-
licly made aware that it had grievously disappointed and
wounded one considerable band of its supporters, the dis-
content engendered by this Education Bill would have
festered during the recess, and in an inflamed state of
political feeling errors of policy that, under other circum-
stances, might have been overlooked as trivial, would be
likely enough to occasion troublesome and incurable sores.

--- A RUMOURED FOUR-SIDED BIM TREATY.

A telegram from Vienna, dated the 27th inst., states
that Count Vimerccati, a personal friend of the Emperor
Napoleon, and who has been the intermediary of intimate
negotiations between his Majesty and the King Victor
Emmanuel, has just arrived at Vienna. His visit to the
Austro-Hungarian capital is said to be connected with a
scheme of alliance between France, Italy, the Austro-
Hungarian Empire, and Denmark, to counteract another
alliance reported to have been concluded at Ems between
Prussia and Russia.

WILDBAD.

One of the most deserted of the towns in South-
ern Germany now is Wildbad, that antique little
place between Carlsrube and Stuttgard, in which
healing waters bubble from the earth, and round
winch rugged and beautiful scenery is so conspicuous
a characteristic. So deserted has the place become
within the past fourteen days, that the apartments
taken for the Princess\of Wales, and in possession
of which Her Royal Highness has already enjoyed a
sojourn in Germany, have been offered for a
mere song to any tourist who would like to remain
in spite of wars' alarms in the once fashionable
rendezvous. The town has now a melancholy air,
presenting more the appearance of having suf-
fered desolation than of being only threa-
tened with it. Some venturesome residents, how-
ever, believe that it is not even threatened, that
neither of the contending armies will intrude upon
the ground. Nevertheless the streets are empty, and
the i!u,t off the feet of between 3,000 and 4,000
visitors has been left behind upon its thorough-
fares. Among the few remaining men of
note are Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian
Minister at Berlin, and Baron Werther. These two
gentlemen were seen walking together a few evenings
since. Whether the fact can be taken as significant
of an early alliance between Prussia and Russia, or
whether it can be taken as implying that Wildbad
is now wretchedly miserable for single promenaders,
speculators have not yet postively decided.

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman F. LS., F. Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance. and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varietica
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Cd. each part. Part X.
now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists op the completion and
,publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
"Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable.' —Daily Telegraph.
"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—.Standard. _ _

"The completion of Mr. Newman work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at onoc a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

CRIME IN THE CITY OF CORK.

Judge Keogh, in opening tho City Assizes at York
yesterday, told the grand jury there were absolutely no
serious cases to be tried, save charges of riot and intimi-
dation arising out of the trade strike. That movement
to hiri seemed most injurious to the workmen themselves.
He attributed the absence of prosperity and progress in
the city to these constant riots, demonstrations, and
meetings to express sympathy. The whole concern was
so nonsensical that it was difficult to imagine how the
people engaged could avoid laughing at one another.
