SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 26th September an-
nounces that the Queen has approved of the trans-
fer of the concession of the Madrid to Almansa
Railway from M. Salamanca to Count de Horny,
Baron de Rothschild, and others. • M. Olozaga
had` arrived in Madrid. Several nominations of
now governors of provinces had been made. M.
Mon, it was positively said, was about to be ap-
pointed ambassador at Rome. The Espana says
that on the 22d Marshal Nat vaez had not received
his passport, and that on applying at the embassy
at Paris for it he had been told that the order to
deliver it had not arrived. Oa the 25th, it adds,
things were in the same state. It was calculated,
says the same journal, that the sum which the go-
vernment would have to pay the clergy for the sale
of its property was 16,500,000 reals. The sale of
civil property was continuing with great activity.
The grand review of the garrison by the Queen,
which had been long talked of, had been fixed for
the sth October. The Eloja Autogrofa says that
the decline which has lately taken place on the
Stock Exchange of that city is caused by the ope-
rations of speculators at Paris. A letter says that
nothing had been settled with respect to the re-
establishment of octroi duties, and that it was not
true, as was reported, that a tax of 8 per cent. was
to be imposed on the salaries of the holders of go-
vernment situations.

Highnesses stept on shore from the Hohenzollern

Grand Duke and his young bride, after a short
conversation with the Grand Duchess Stephanie,
entered a carriage drawn by six horses and made
a triumphal entry into the town, which was mag-
nificently dressed out for the occasion. After
passing through several arches of verdure and
flowers, and having received complimentary ad-
dresses from the various corporations, the cortege
arrived at the palace, where immediately after a
grand reception took place. In the evening, the
Grand Ducal party attended the theatre, where
the opera of " Undine" was given with a great
luxury of costumes. At night the whole town was
brilliantly illuminated. The next dayattroanine
o'clock their Royal Highnesses left byspecial

General Mouravieff, who left Tiflis on the 31st
ult. for St. Petersburg, issued, on the eve of his
departure, the following order of the day :
" Going to the place of destination which a superior
order communicated by the Minister of War has indi-
cated to me, I remit until the arrival of Prince Bariat-
inski the command of the army to Prince Bebutoff. It
has been reserved to me to serve only a short time with
you, warriors of the Caucasus ! In leaving you, perhaps
for ever, I address you my thanks for all the remini-
scences of our intercourse, which are so dear to me, and
which I shall :never forget as long as I live. I have
witnessed your success in combats and your patience, a
quality inseparable from bravery in the true warrior ; I
have beheld also your great zeal :—all, your inalienable
property, valiant comrades, so truly Clevoted to your
Czar and your duty. And as to you also, preserve, I
beseech you a kind souvenir of my effort s and my cares,
which have always had for their object to assure the
welfare of the service and the amelioration of your posi-
tion. I have always considered you as one of the finest
ornaments :and one of the most brilliant hopes of our
beloved country. May God crown your ulterioropio-
ceedings with success."
