SPAIN.

The contents of the Madrid journals of the 7th
are not of importance. The Gazette contains a
royal decree regulating the formalities to be ob-
served in the issue of what are called " shares of
the royal routes" to the amount of 34,000,000 reals
and at 6 per cent., as authorised by the law on the
budget of 25th July last. Gen. Serrano had taken
possession of the Captaincy-General of Madrid.
The King of Portugal arrived at Malaga on the
2d, and was to embark in the Mindello for Lis-
bon. No fewer than 4,500 men are employed on
the railway from Seville to Cordon. A fall in
the price of wheat ha .1 taken place in the Madrid
market. A. letter says :---" The vote in the Cortes
yesterday is considered a great triumph for Minis-
ters. The pure Progressists; and the Democrats
continue to make fierce war on the Minister of
War, but his presence is the ministry is considered

by men of sense of all parties as a guarantee for
liberty. General Alesson has been nominated
civil and military governor of the Philippine
Islands. The government has received information
that General Almonte, who has been residing at
Paris, has been nominated representative of
Mexico at this court. In the Cortes to-day the
government withdrew the bill for modifying the
law which excludes certain placeholderes from par-
liament."

A letter from Galatz states that the interna-

tional commission to regularise the limits of Bess-
arabia has now completely suspended its sittings,
in consequence
,of the protest of Russia against
Mublis Pacha (George Stourdza). Nothing is
known as to when it is to resume its labours.

The Piedmontese Gazette states that on the 30th
ult. General Dabormida, lately entrusted with a
special mission to the Emperor of Russia, arrived
at Berlin, had an interview with Baron Manteuffel,
and on the following day had the honour of an au-
dience of the King of Prussia, who invited him to
a ball for that evening at Potsdam.

The new constitution of the canton of Soleure
has just been adopted by 8,188 votes to 2,254. The
total number of voters being 15,580, the number
of those who have abstained is 5,138.

The German Journal of Frankfort contains the
following :—" It is affirmed that several members
of the most distinguished families of Bohemia
are endeavouring to come to an understanding
on an addiess to be presented to the Emperor. It
is intended to demand the re-establishment of the
States of the Kingdom with various modifications
in conformity with the spirit of the age, and of a
nature to give to the country a more genuine re-
presentation than that offered by the purely con-
sultative assemblies which it is proposed to establish
in the various provinces of the Austrian empire."

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERI.A.TORREREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Plckford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
ether equally flagrant evil which it may be in his p ewer to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are' mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of these who saffer ftom the corn-
silaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
oe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
.nuch money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
.kerfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

NAPLES.

A letter from Paris to the Augsburg Gazette con-
tains the following :—" I am in a measure able to
inform you of the authentic contents of the note
addressed by France and England to the Neapo-
litan government. This note has for object to
prevail on the King of Naples to place some limit
on the arbitrary character of his administration
of penal justice since the events of 1848 ; in a
word, the reforms recommended by the Wes-
tern Cabinets are solely those connected with
judicial matters. These cabinets declare that
their diplomatic intervention on this point is
prompted by the necessity of preserving the tran-
quillity of Europe menaced by the fermentation
which exists in the kingdom of Naples, and
spreads over the whole peninsula. Although this
note has not the character of an ultimatum, yet
it clearly implies that in the event of no attention
being paid to the counsels of the Western Powers,
the latter may be prompted to recall their
Ministers, and to replace them by chargds-
d'affaires. What leads to the hope that this
step will prove successful is the fact that Austria
approves of the measures adopted by the West-
ern Powers. It was in consequence of the near
relationship existing between the two courts
that the Austrian Cabinet did not present an iden-
tical note to that of France and England, although
it approved the principle which theirs advocated.
The Austrian Minister at Naples has received
orders to urge strongly the true sentiments of the
Court of Vienna without concealment ; and to add
that hithert) Austria has not adopted an attitude
of friendly intervention to lessen the complications
between the Court of Naples and the Western
Powers ; but that, if the Neapolitan Government
does not facilitate the neutral position of Austria
by wise concessions, the latter will be compelled to
place herself on the side of the allies."
The Austrian, Correspondence states from
Trieste that the adjutant of Prince Danilo has
arrived there with a quantity of splendid arms
destined to be offered to the Emperor Napoleon.

AMERICA AND FRANCE.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition) in his letter dated yesterday says :
" A. private letter from Washington mentions, among
other thing's; that the American Government are anxious
to ascertain the disposition of the French Government,
or rather of the French Emperor, under these circum-
stances, and what part, if any, they will he likely to
take in our quarrel. The Washington Cabinet is
inclined to believe that France will maintain strict
neutrality in the event of war breaking out ; and, in fact,
that she will not draw the sword so long as the honour
of France remains untouched. In truth, I believe the opi-
nion of that. Cabinet to be, that, even were France dis-
posed to do otherwise, she cannot do so. The eagerness
with which she accepted peace with Russia is well
known and appreciated at Washington, and the expla-
nation of that desire is in her comparative exhaustion
from offensive warfare. The terrible catastrophe of the
inundations, which
,have laid waste more than 15
departments ; the probability of scarcity occurring
for the third year consecutively ; the mania of
speculation which is so enormously developed in the
country ; and the gigantic but unsafe projects of the
Crddit Mobilier, which must inevitably lead to a fearful
commercial crisis ; even the fact of the great outlay
necessary to keep down the price of bread in Paris
at the cost of the rest of France ; the pos'ible exigen-
cies of other great towns should the apprehended
scarcity and consequent dearness of food be realised,
and the general discontent produced by those con-
curring circumstances, are, I have reason to believe,
duly weighed by the Cabinet of Washington in the
conclusion it may draw of the impossibility of
France taking an active part wits England. What
weight ought to be attached to these considerations,
and howithey may be justified by events, it is not for
me to say ; but, for one reason or the other, it is be-
lieved at the other side of the Atlantic that, if battle
there be we shall have to fight it by ouraelYeo.':

MODERN SOCIETY in ROME.
By J. R. BH4TE, Esq., Author of " The Wabash."
" This work is singularly interesting. It contains striking narra-

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1355.

It is well that the, people of Great Britain,
should Clearly and distinctly understand —What 'i!
is for which they will shortly be called on to re-
joice, for the celebration whereof the unsightly
buildings that now disfigure two of the parks ar,
in course of construction, for which innumerable
fireworks will be discharged, at an enormous ex
pense to the over-burdened tax-payers--a day.
perhaps, wasted to those who earn their brew,.
by the sweat of their brow, and a general ilium:
nation invited. It is universally admitted tin.,
the ill-omened truce, miscalled a Peace—whic!.
gives neither credit for the past, nor security fcir
the. future—is not popular in England, that
those who have cheerfully submitted to so many
serious sacrifices cannot express a satisfaction
which they do not feel in the honour (I ) of
Russia being preserved intact, in Prussia beirei
restored to• the position which she had deliberatei,
relinquished, and Austria being allowed to re 9,!,
all the benefits derived from the sanguinary and
expensive contest, in which she only displayed A
degree of duplicity and insincerity that must have
excited the contempt and indignation of every
right-minded man. Why, then, should there bt
an affectation of rejoicing for that which should
be mourned in sackcloth and ashes, as exhibitiu,_
the full measure of the national humiliation ?

The ill-omened Treaty has been agreed on, and
will be ratified before its terms are known to the
chosen representatives of tin, people ; and now a
further insult is. offered. Heavy expenses are
incurred without the assent of those who fondly
imagine that they are the guardians of the na-
tional purse. The Chancellor of the Exchequer,
with scant courtesy, informs an Hon. Gentleman.
who makes a very natural inquiry as to the pro-
bable outlay, that " atthe proper time (when may
that .be, we wonder ?) full information of the
details will be given to the House;" and with that
curt intimation the matter is suffered to drop,
and the only duty
left to the House is to sane-
tiun au unprofitable expenditure, highly distaste-
ful to the great majority of the People. This
coming immediately after the accidental discovery
of the very improper purchase of the pensions to
the Duke of GRAFTON and the heirs of the Duke
of SCHOMBERG, and for which no less than
213,1771. is. 2d. was paid during the war year,
without the slightest intimation thereof to the
House of Commons, proves, beyond the
_possibility
of doubt, a deliberate intention to degrade the
representative branch of the Legislature, and to
invade what, before German models became the
fashion, were considered to be its undoubted pre-
rogatives.

Par4ng, however, from this systematic and
unconstitutional Course, let us look a little more
closely to the existing state of affairs, and see
whether- there are not lowering clouds in the
horizo; Which presage but a brief con-
tinuance of that tranquillity of which so much
has been spoken. What is the condition of
Germany at this moment ? How is Austria.

SURREY SESSIONS—(This Day.)

These sessions held by adjournment from Reigate took
place this morning at the i.e.sions house, Newington
Causeway, before Thomas Puckle, E4q., chairman, J. E.
Johnson, Esq., deputy chairman, and a full bench of
magistrates. The calerider contained the names of 34
prisoners fir trial. Twenty-nine f-r felony, and five for
misdemeanour. There ware besides two persons on bail,
whose names are not on the calend T. The grand jury
having bsen sworn, the Chairman said that there did not
appear anything in the calendar requiring any special
observations from him. The calendar appeared very
light in comparison with that of last year, but tbat
was chiefly caused by the recent introduction of the New
Criminal Justice Act, whioh empowered magistrates at
Petty Sessions or Police Courts to deal -ummarily with
many cases of felony where the offenders pleaded guilty,
otherwise there would be more than three times the
number of prisoners for trial. That Act of Parliament,
be was happy to say, did not interfere with trial by jury,
as the offenders could come here for trial if they pleased.
He must impress upon their minds the necessity of
examining all the witnesses at the back of the respective
bills,and before they ienored any he should advise them
to send into the court for the original depositions taken
before the committing magistrate, as he was sure the
cases would not be sent for trial unless a great deal of
suspicion was attached to them. In conclusion, if a pri-
soner was indicted for a felony and the evidence showed
that it was only an attempt, they must find the bill for
the latter and send the prisoner for trial. The learned
Chairman then dismissed the jury to their room.

11ARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were for the most
part but moderately supplied with home-grown wheat,
yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping cur-
rencies. Barley was scarce, and in request, at very full
prices. All other articles were lower to purchase. The
continental markets continue heavy for wheat and flour,
on lower terms. The supplies have rather increased. Very
moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received
up to our markets last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 9,865 qrs. of wheat, 3,240 barley, 29,110 oats,
1,750 beans, 20 peas, 60 tares, 1,680 linseed, 1,356 rape-
seed, 2,830 Indian corn, 300 sacks and 1,790 brls. of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market,
to-day, coastwise, were limited, and those by land car-
riage were small, though in good condition. The Essex
and Kent stands were by no means largely supplied with
samples, yet millets generally purchased with extreme
caution. Most of the Essex wheats were Bold at a shade
under the prices realized on this day se'nnight. Kentish
samples moved off heavily, and, in most transactions prices
were in favour of buyers by about is per quarter.
The show of foreign wheat was good, but a very large
portion of it was much out of condition. The business
doing in all kinds was limited to small parcels. In prices
no quotable change took place.

Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
The show of both English and foreign barley was very
moderate. All kinds sold briskly, and a good clearance
was easily effected, at very full prices.
We had a fair demand tor malt at full quotations—the
best samples being worth 80s per quarter.
The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was very extensive,
and the oat trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices of
from 6d to is per quarter.

Beans sold heavily and late rates were barely supported
The sale for peas was heavy at late qultations.
The flour trade was very dull at barely previous cur.
London, England, 1856-04-21

STATE OF TRADE IN AIANOHESTFR.

In all departments of the cotton manufacture there
are pleasing indications of an approaching prosperous
trade. The good effects resulting from the re-establish-
ment of peace are already 'appareint, and although the
market is not characterised by much activity, yet prices
are maintained with firmness, and with no disposition
to concession. No doubt is entertained as to future ac-
tivity for all classes of operations, so that cheering anti-
cipations may he entertained. Maudley and Co.'s cir-
cular, just issued, confirms these views. It states that,
when the conclusion of the treaty of peace became
known, "the market at once gained strength, and the
vast production of our spindles and looms found buyers."
It adds, that " the demand has been continuous, and
the extent of operations large in the aggregate." Every-
thing promises improvement to legitimate and well-
founded enterprise. The seasons, both at the autumnal
and vernal equinoxes, were eminently favourable to
agricultural operations—the land was in fine condition
for sowing and planting--and thus far all the young crops
are reported as looking vigorous and promising. The
food markets are too well sustained for the interests of
consumers ; but, in the prospect of greater abundance
and lower prices of breadstuffs, our home-trade houses
have been replenishing their stocks with greater confi-
dence and freedom. The stocks of alt descriptions of
both cotton and worsted goods are scarce in first
hands ; and although there is every appearance of a
large supply of cotton (wool is extremely scarne, and
will be so, at least until June or July—shearing time),
yet it is not likely to be in the slightest degree in ex-
cess, for the consumption is evidently permanently en-
larged,•and the low rates of former years can scarcely
be expected, until the area of its cultivation be very
considerably enlarged. Under these circumstances
cotton has rather risen in value than otherwise, and
seems likely to ascend still more, whilst the general
lightness of s ocks, and increasing demand, empower the
spinners and manufacturers to command higher prices,
although very reluctantly and stubbornly resisted by
buy ere. The advance which has been established during
the month has necessarily caused a considerable extent
of orders, under limits, to be cancelled or suspended ;
but spinners and manufacturers have nevertheless sold
their productions on the advanced terms, and their ma-
chinery io well employed by contracts in hand. All
preeent appearances, therefor©, indicate higher prices,
rather thau the contrary ; et.II this upward movement
must naturally tend to check business, which will per-
haps give some relief to distant markets, and prepare
the way for the ultimate eetablishment of higher values,
which will very probably rule, if a good harvest be se'
CUrOda slid peace coutiiple to Atoll."

TO SPRING.

She comes, she comes, from sunny climes,
Laughing along the emerald sea ;
Borne on tke sweet south wind betimes, •
Sweet smiling Spring 1 we welcome thee.
She comes, she nocces, with radiant eyes,
From the far laud of love and song,
Where orange groves and cloudless skies
Have held thee, love, in dalliance long.
She comes, she Comes, a blushing. bride,
Instinct with life where'er she treads,
The conscious earth bedecks with pride
Her footsteps o'er the verdant meads.
Welcome, sweet Spring 1 —Aurora throws
Her roseate tints upon thy cheek,
Anti gilds with glittering gems the snows
That linger on the mountain peak.
Welcome, sweet Spring !—The buds look up,
Awl, bursting, greet thy dewy kiss ;
The violet opes her azure Con,
And breathes thy balmy breath in bligs.
Welcome, sweet Spring I—The flowers awake,
And on'tlay pies their incense fling,
For fragrance, song, and sunohine make
A Paradise for thee, sweet Spring I

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 21. 1856.

It, is' well that the people of Great BritaiL
should clearly and distinctly understand what
is for which they will shortly be called on to re-
joice, for the .celebration whereof the unsightl3
buildings that now disfigure two of the parks ar
in Course' of construction, for which innumeral,'(
fireworks will.be.discharged, at an enormous ex

„pinse, to the over.burdened tax-payers—a dad
perhaps, wasted to those who earn their bread
,1-137 the sweat of their brow, and a general illumi-
nation inrited. It is universally admitted that
the ill-omened truce, miscalled a Peace—whicl
gives neither credit for, the past, nor security fo,
the future—is not popular in England, that
•those who have cheerfully submitted to so man
serious sacrifices cannot express a satisfactio,
which they do not feel in the lonottr (!) el
Russia being preserved intact, in Prussia being
reiaLored to the position which she had deliberately
relinquished, and Austria being allowed to real
nlI the benefits derived from the sanguinary and
expensive contest, in which she only displayed t:
degree of duplicity and insincerity that must have
excited the contempt and indignation of ever%
right-minded man. Why, then, should there be
an affectation of rejoicing for, that which should
,beijnourned in sackcloth and ashes, as exhibitint,
the full measure of the national humiliation ?
The ill-omened Titati has been agreed on, and
Will be ratified before its terms are known to the
chosen representatives of the ,Pl29Pie ; and now a
further insult is offered. Heavy expenses are
incurred without the assent of those who fondly
imagine that they are the guardians of the na•
tional purse.. 7.4 Chancellor of the Exchequer,-
' with scant courtesy, informs an Hon. Gentleman,
• who• makes a very natural in
qniry as to the pro-
bdble outlay, that ”. atthe proper time (when may
that be, we wonder ?) full information of the
details will be' given to the Ilous•2;" and with that
curt intimation the- matter is suffered to drop,
.•and the only duty left to the House IS to Banc.
tion an unprofitalA expenditure, highly distast6..
El to the great majority of the People. This
coming immediately after_the acdidental discovery
of the very improper purchase of the• pensions to
the Duke of GRAFTON' and the heirs of the Duke
of SCHONBERG, and for which no less than
213,177/. ls. 2d. was paid during the war year,
without the slightest intimation thereof to the
Rouse of Commons, proves, beyond the possibility
of doubt, a deliberate intention to degrade the
representative branch of the Legislature, and to
invade what, • before German models became the ,
fashion, were considered to be its undoubted pre-
rogatives.
•

Passing, however, from this systematic and
unconstitutional course, let us look a little more
closely to the, existing state of affairs, said see
whether there are not lowering clouds in the
political horizon, which presage but a brief con-
tinuance of that tranquillity of which so much
has been spoken. What is the condition of

THE NAVAL REVIEW.

Mr.
Wyld, of Charing-cross, with his usual tact,
has just published au excellent "Plan of the Re-
view of the Fleet at Spithead by her Majesty," on
Wednesday next. The map includes the waters of
the Solent, from Calshot Castle and Cornet Bay, in
the Isle of Wight, down to the Nab Light, a distance
of ten or twelve miles. The grand fleet stretches
for miles in two lines from west to east, with
the gun-boats, mortar-boats, &c., lying at anchor
in two lines. The track of the royal yacht is laid
down on the map, which presents a capital view of
Portsmouth Harbour, Laugstone Harbour, the
coast on either side of the Sulent, with the sound-
ings, &c. This map will be invaluable to every
one who wishes to understandd—the position of the
fleet and the surrounding coast on the occasion of
so grand a spectacle.

THE INDIAN CURRENCY.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition
from the European, the Chinese, and other Asiatic
merchants of Singapore, remonstrating against the
introduction by the Government of India of a novel and
highly inconvenient currency instead of a long esta-
blished, convenient, and satisfactory one ; thereby
throning confusion into the commerce of that .and the
associated British settlements in the Straits of Malacca.
The noble earl then referred to the currency of Siriga-
p.re, which was on the decimal system, and was of a
most perfect kind. Its imports and exports
amounted to seven millions sterling. There was no
Land tax, no tartar°, and no inoturpha, and, therefore,
it contrasted most favourably with the continent of
India. The currency affairs of Singapore were in most
admirable order until the Government introduced its
barbarous metallic currency, and interfered most
unwarantably with the commercial operations of
the 'colony. The noble earl then went into the
details to show inferiority of the currency about to
be forced upon inhabitants of Singapore.
Earl GRANVILLE explained that the Spanish cur-
rency which had prevailed in that colony was not a
legal tender, and the officers of the Government were
paid their salarie4 in Indian rupees.
