SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the sth contain nothing
of much importance. The Gazette publishes a let-
ter from the Minister of War to the Inspector of
Carbineers, directing the thanks of the Queen to be
given to the 4th corn pony of that force, at Huesca, for
having given up to the Government the extra pay
for campaign service to which it was entitled from
the month of July. M, °Allard° had been nominated
member of the commission for drawing up the bill
on the Council of State, in the room of M. Pacheco,
minister plenipotentiary. General Dulce had ar-
rived in the capital from Saragossa. Rumours had
been current that conferences relative to the pre-
vention of the salo of ecclesiastical property had
taken place between high personages ; but they are
declared unfounded. Baron de Grovestines, the
Dutch Minister, had arrived in Madrid from a visit
to the northern provinces. The diligence in which
ho was travelling from Santander to Valladolid
had been stopped by the band of Hierros, but he
was treated with respect by them. It was reported
that the new constitution and the organic laws were
to bo promulgated in ten days ; also that a decree
for the re-establishment of the octroi duties from
the let Jan. next was about to be issued.

CANADA.
ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
This day, at five p.m., the Montreal Ocean
Steam-ship Company's screw steamer Anglo-Saxon,
Captain A.M. Masters, arrived in the Mersey. She
sailed from Quebec on the 30th ult., and has
brought, besides the mail, 125 passengers. One of
her passengers (the Rev. J. J. Braine) died on the
voyage.

Boc-eral attempts have been made to fire the
cities of San Francisco and Sacramento.

Advices from Nicaragua to the 7th August say
that matters are progressing prejudicially for
Walker, and that the desertions from his army
have been numerous ; and that another revolution
had been suppressed in Costa Rica.
Commercial affairs at Now York are in the same
condition as when the Etna sailed. Money at
Quebec was light.
The breadstuff market was declining. Provisions
unchanged.
Timber was improving in price.
Freights were staadily advancing, with a tendency
still upwards.

A letter from Berlin, of the sth, says :—" In
the question of the Sound due; France, adhering
to the opinion of England, has pronounced herself
in faveur of the principle of purchase."

A Berlin letter says that the King of Prussia is
to leave that city on the 25th or 26th, to spend some
time in the Rhenan provinces. His Majesty, it is
added, is to be present at the consecration of a new
church at Treves.

King Otho arrived at Stutgardt on the sth,
where he will remain for a few days. His Majesty
was received by Count William de Wurtemberg and
the Countess Theodorine, who came to congratu-
late him on his arrival in the name of the King.

A letter from the Hague, of the Gth, says :
" Prince and Princess Henry, and the Russian
Minister, have left for Soestdijk to be present at a
fete which will be given there to-morrow by the
Queen Dowager of Holland, on the occasion of the
coronation of the Emperor of Russia. On the 11th
a grand dinner will be given by the Chevalier
Lomonosoff, in honour of the same event."

The -Car/smite Gazette publishes two decrees
which empower the Prince Regent Frederick of
Baden to assume the title of Grand Duke. The
interest of these decrees has been neutralised by
the telegraphic despatch which has already ac-
quainted us that the Grand Duke Louis had abdi-
cated in favour of his brother, and that the troops
had sworn allegiance to the latter.

A letter from Lucia of the 3d mentions the con-
demnation of several persons by the Supreme
Court of the town to various degrees of imprison-
ment for having formed part of a republican con-
spiracy. The chid' members thereof, a schoolmaster
named Marti_nelli, and a tailor named Peruzzi,
have been condemned to 63 months' imprisonment
in irons the others to much shorter periods of the
same punishment.

A letter from Genoa of the 6th, in the Constitu-
tionnel,
Says :—" The dissolution of the Chamber
of Deputies appears certain, according to the asser-
tions put forth by certain correspondents who pre-
tend to be well informed on the subject. The ob-
ject of the ministers would be, they say, to take
advantage of the present good feeling of the coun-
try and. to obtain favourable elections. Then,
should the sequestration of the property of emi-
grants be transformed into a sale by public auction,
and the bad feeling which exists between the
country and Austria'increased, it would be desirable
to have in the Chamber the faithful expression of
the intentions of the
people."
