SPIRIT OF THE PRESS—THIS MORNING.
SPAIN AND HER KING.
Notwithstanding the disorganisation inseparable from
arn, epoch of transition, these last two years, thinks the
mtes, are clear gain to Spain. Religious tolerance, emanci-
pation law from priestly thraldom, popular education,
and the development of great material prosperity are
va.nlong the most immediate results of the late change. The
ZelY, Promptitude with which the Madrid Government has

brigands near Gibraltar speaks volumes in praise of

motest provinces. It is only a strong Government that

MR. GOLDWIN SMITH.
Ile Standard says that Mr. Goldwin Smith, from his
safe retreat in the Cornell University, seeing in a work of
fiction 1)Y Mr. Disraeli the character of an Oxford pro-
fessor, of overflowing vanity, of intense bumptiousness,
n
restless arrogance— shallow, conceited, and a
eis6l parasite," makes haste to put on the cap,
-"ng out lustily, " That's me !" Not content with
Zirderhig this tribute to the keenness and truth of
reB' Disraeli's portraiture, Mr. Goldwin Smith

" is a " coward," and avers that his aspersions are
Cangless insults." This is not the first time that we
s ye seen the man most prone to venomousness and
eillrility horribly sensitive to any attack upon his own
et:inaracter No man ever abused another with so
bitterness, with so much pertinacity, with so
ile.llrecklessness, as Mr. Goldwin Smith has abused

6:o(luce the shameful and insulting epithets which Mr.
vjwill Smith, out of his prolific vocobulary, has at
anytimes applied to Mr. Disraeli. There is scarcely
414' elinle of which a politician could be guilty, scarcely
which
baseness with which a gentleman could be charged,
Mr, Goldwin Smith has not imputed
either
directly or indirectly to Mr. Disraeli—either
speech or in writing. Mr. Disraeli's sole reply

Goldwin Smith is not a " parasite," and Mr.
,aleraeli is not a " coward." Each of these distinguished

exhibitions, and the sooner they cease the better.
rt,Tllll HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE IRISH LAND BILL.
'ue Rouse of Landowners, says the Telegraph, has on
reassembling, to discuss a bill which in several respects
hitheutionises the rules for the tenure and use of land
,d 0 accepted everywhere in the United Kingdom ;
4)47-117 the bill is presented to it by statesmen with

THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE
OF PERSONATING WOMEN.

CRIMINAL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
The whole of the witnesses in this case went before
the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon, and after their
examination a true bill for misdemeanour was found
against Boulton, Park, Lord Arthur Clinton, H.
Cumming, Wm. Somerville, Fiske, Hurt, and
Thomas.

A true bill for felony against Boulton and Park.
A true bill for felony against Lord Arthur Clinton
and Park.

A true bill for felony against Lord Arthur
Clinton and Boulton.

Mr. Poland then made an application to the Court
to grant warrants for the arrest of the four
persons, Lewis Hurt, William Somerville, Henry
Cumming, and J. S. Fiske. He said that accord-
ing to the instructions of the Attorney-General, who
had had the whole of the case laid before him, in-.
dictments had been preferred against , the parties
named and true bills had been found. Warrants
had been issued against Lord Arthur Clinton and
Thomas, but now he had to app►y for warrants
against the other four.
Mr. Justice Blackburn—For what are they in-
dicted ?

Mr. Poland—For conspiracy. It was quite
within the power of the Court, under 22 and 23
of Viet., to issue bench warrants as the Court was
sitting. He had every reason to believe that the
whole of the defendants were within the jurisdiction
of the Court.

Mr. Justice Blackburn said, as there was a reason-
able belief that such was the case, the Court would
direct the warrants to issue.

As at present arranged, the Attorney-General,
will attend at ten o'clock to-morrow morning, but
there still appears to be some doubt as to whether
the prosecution against Boulton and Park will be
proceeded with, or whether some further postpone-
ment will take place.
