SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived.
The Gmette states thebt the receipts of the Trea-
sury in January last amounted to 80,571,050
reals, and that they ware more by 13,077,434 reals
than in the corresponding month of last year. The
democrats were quarrelling amongst themselves,
and the three organs of their party were assailing
each other. Attempt had been made to excite
disturbances in the Basque provinces, on pretext
of the execution of the law for the sale of the na-
tional and ecclesiastical property, and a vast num-
ber of incendiary proclamations had been prepared ;
but the Government had seized the proclamations,
and had taken measures for preserving order. It
was reported that disturbances were likely to
break out at Malaga, but a letter asserts that none
were to be feared. An installation of knights of
the Order of Isabella the Catholic had taken place
in the usual form in the chapel of the Orders of

Knighthood at Madrid ; and amongst the persons
who received the dignity of commander was, as
we have already stated, Ronconi, the singer.

The Post Ainpt Gazette contains a letter from
Berlin which says :—" A pamphlet published by
the librarian Chas. Nohring, entitled ' The Life,
Actions, and Death of Chas. Louis Frederick de
Hinckeldey,' has been seized by the police.

A letter from Frankfort states that the Chamber
of Commerce of that city, in order to diminish at
the Bourse over-speculation in the number ofin-
dustrial associations which have• been recently
formed in Germany, has adopte@l an important
measure. It has decided on extending generally
the regulations by which merchants transacting
business at the Bourse are compelled to pay an
annual tax of from 21 florins to 10 florins, in ex-
change for which they receive a card of admission
without which they cannot enter the building.

THE AFRICAN MAILS.
PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.

The steam-ship Gambia, Captain Rolt, arrived
hero this morning with the mails from the West
Coast of Africa. She has brought 1,948 ounces of
gold, a full cargo, and 20 passengers, among whom
are eight distressed British seamen. She left Fer-
nando Po, February 7 ;Lagos, 11. ; Acra, 13 ; Cape
Coast, 14 ; Liberia, 20 ; Sierra Leone, 25 ;
Bathurst, 29 ; Goree, March 1; Teneriffe, 7 ; and
Madeira, 11.
The coast was healthy and quiet prevailed, ex-
cept at Cape Coast, where a disturbance had occur-
red between the natives, 30 of whom were killed
and 70 wounded.
The King was deposed, and had taken refuge in
the fort. The military did not suffer. The towns-
people had been fined for the riot. Trade was dull
at Lagos. Oil slow in coming forward, although
large quantities were in the hands of traders. Her
Majesty's ship Hecate had grounded on Lagos bar.
The Bloodhound left Fernando Po, 2d Fell., to as-
sist her. The steamer Puffin was totally wrecked
in endeavouring to recover the Hecate's guns.
Dissatisfaction prevailed at Lagos, and disturbances
were expected in consequence of a resident having
farmed for the King certain duties imposed on ex-
ports.
Business was dull at Sierra Leone, and ground:
nuts were scarce. The colonial engineer had died
a week prior to the arrival of the Gambia. Gover-
i. Hill was still effecting sanitary improvements.
From Bathurst we learn that Governor O'Connor
was at Mearthy's Island. The Antelope left Cla-
rence, ens route for England, January 31. The
African mail-packet Niger left Teneriffe Marche 3,
outward-bound.
