his day.

The following letter, dated Madrid, July 13,
contains some interesting details of what passed
previous to the outbreak :
" At 11. o'clock on the night of the 12th the general be-
lief was that the Ministerial dissension would be arranged.
The discussion, nevertheless, became very warm in the
Council of Ministers, until O'Donnell roundly informed
Escosura that the presence of both in the Cabinet was im-
puFsible. In a few minutes after O'Donnell left the
Council room, and returned to his house apparently in
had humour. Escosura also left in order to allow the
other Ministers full liberty to decide on who should be
the outgoing Minister. On the choice there was a dif-
ference of opinion. Zabala, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and one Santa Cruz were in favour of Escosura and
Lujan. The Duke of Victoria said not a word ; and the
question was postponed till the following day at an early
hour.

/Li G. DIININ.

This was a to eeting :for proof of debts, under the
estate of this bfatkrupt, known as Count Dunin, de-
scribed as of Weistbourne-te. "race, machinist.

" O'Donnell told Escosura in the most positive terms
that lie was not in favour of his revolutionary policy,
and Escosura replied that his policy was that of the
Duke. (It will give an idea of the popularity of Es
partero, that when people say El Duque, without any
addition, it is understood that he alone is meant.)
He had observed before leaving the Council that
he was at liberty to mention i i the Cortes all that bad
occurred, and to explain the motives of his con-
duct. They both left the Council, leaving the impres-
sion behind them that they were both to resign. All was
over at midnight, and no great sensation was caused in
Madrid, owing to the lateness of the hour. Some persons
however, were on the watch, and certain things were
remarked as out of the ordinary course. On quitting the
Council chamber O'Donnell was met in the vestibule of
Buenavista by the whole of the Vicalvarist Generals (those
who joined him atVicalvaro in 1854),Ri0s Rosas, and other
friends. The Brigadier Estariz, his secretary, came out
in a few minutes, and entered a carriage which was
at the Palace. The night was advanced and all
was still. It was presumed that he went to some one
to inform-the Queen of what was going on. O'Donnell
Went to bed half an hour afterwards, but his friends
remained awake and were not idle. Four horses, saddled
and bridled, were led up to the Palace of Buenavista.
Two or three servants crept stealthily up, carrying
cavalry boots and sabres, and General Serrano (not the
well-known Francisco Serrano, lately Captain-General,
but an aide-de camp of O'Donnell of that name) in an
hour and a half after rode out of Madrid, enveloped in
a cloak and travelling hat, by the Puerta de Alcala.
Some hesitated in believing the fact ; it was true neverthe-
less ; and an aide-de-camp of the duke (Espartero) saw
him return at 4 o'clock in the morning by the same gate,
de Alcala. It was not known positively whither he
had gone, but it was more than suspected that it was to
Vicalvaro itself, where there were 400 cavalry. The
rest of the night passed off well, and a few of his inti-
mate friends remained till daybreak in the house of the
Duke.
" The other Serrano (Bedoya) saw early this morning
two of our friends, and told them that the garrison would
in no wise take any part in the affair, but remain pas-
sive and await the solution of the crisis, and this decla-
ration was made by order of the Captain-General Ser-
ra/10.
" At 12 o'clock today the Council met. Escosura
presented his resignation to the Duke, and O'Donnell
said he reserved his for presentation in person to the
Queen. It appears that the resignation of Escosura
was accepted by the Queen, but that of O'Donnell not."

Mr. Ctliumbine appeared t. or the assignees, and debts
were adm fitted. It was also a dividend—the amount
was not d eclared, but will be duly advertised.

IN BE SINCELE.

This bankrupt was described as of Deptford, tar
manufactui•er, and this was a nteeting for proof of debts.
and dectaralion of dividend.

Mr.. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and several
bills were proved ; the debts amount to 8581., and the
cash in hand at present is 1101.

An a
n was made for an adjourn meat, as
Mr. J..
e:l bad not been able to make out
pDpl. ic ;toio w
the balance sheet, L's a great many documents were
in the possession of Mr. Beckett, bankrupt's former
solicitor.

Mr. Fowell said he should be ready with the ac.
counts in a month, and an adjournment was taken for
the sth September.

It is at present impossible to ascertain the amount of
the debts to unsecured creditors—tho►Qe holding amount
to 38,0001., and the property mortgaged is estimated at
106,3001. One estate mortgaged for 9,000 L. has realised
13,0001.
