ROYAL PERQUISITES.

It will be remembered that the Provisional Government,
on the demand of Queen Isabella, made over to the exiled
sovereign all her personal property, wearing apparel and
the like, which had been left in the palace at Madrid.
The Liberal journals were much discontented with this
complaisance, the property surrendered being worth at
least £50,000. Altogether Queen Isabella is not likely to
become a penniless exile. Immediately after the revolu-
tion all the boxes and wardrobes, and especially the recep.
tacles containing the crown jewels, were sealed up by order
of the Junta. An examination has just been made, and
200 boxes and caskets have been found quite empty. In-
quiry has shewn that the secretary to the Queen, who is
now with_ her in Paris, carried off the whole of the crown
jewels to Sebastian. They were worth £1,200,000.
It has previously been stated that the Queen took away
these valuables, and the charge has been denied. But the
Geneva Journal says there is now no doubt about the
matter.

DEMOLITION OF ROUSES.

At a meeting of the City Commissioners a report
was brought up from the Sanitary Committee con-
demning some premises as unfit for human habita-
tion, and recommending their demolition. A discus-
sion of some length took place, and it was stated
that the commissioners had no authority to erect
new buildings in place of those proposed to be taken
down. The solicitor to the commissioners stated
that the Labourers' Dwellings Act had been so altered
in committee mat it was cunicuit romocal au-morale%
to put it into operation. After some
.Cl.l-441481011 the

FORETGN NOTES.
TIM ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The Oui gives vent to a mournful hoot over the Alabama
question. The negotiations have proceeded since the
change of Government in America, but though they have
proceeded they have not advanced. A satisfactory
solution, says the Owl, is as remote as ever. The change
has been complete : a few weeks since a thorough settle-
ment seemed likely ; now fresh difficulties have arisen.

THE FIGHTING IN SPAIN.

The insurrection at Xeres is at an end ; but, like all
Spanish street conflicts, the fighting was very severe during
its continuance. It commenced on the evening of the 17th,*
and lasted at least two whole days. The troops were twice
assailed by the insurgents, who were driven back, and the
former assumed the offensive. Barricade after barricade,
to the number of twenty-three, were taken after hand-to-
h and struggles. The loss of life was great. The troops had 150
men put hors de combat, but the killed and wounded of
the insurgents were far more numerous. Six hundred of
them were taken prisoners.

THE LAW ON CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN JERSEY.

The Pall Mall Gazette calls attention to a singular
decision in the Court of Correctional Police in Jersey
recently. A tradesman and a couple of officers were
charged with inciting four bull terriers to worry a
cat. The evidence shewed that the utmost torture
had been inflicted on the poor creature, the de-
fendants apparently trying to prolong its sufferings
as much as possible. At one time the dog had
fastened the cat by the neck, another held the poor
animal by the shoulder, another by the body, and a
fourth by the leg. Theypulled the cat in such a way
as to dislocate its limbs. The scene lasted from seven
to ten minutes. The last time the dogs were set on
the cat was dead. This was sworn to by four
wit-
nesses, but the magistrate held that the prisoners
were only taking steps to get rid of a nuisance.
lle much deprecated the foundation of a
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals in the island. In England, it might be
all very well, but Jersey was too enlightened for that
kind of thing. " I do not consider," he said, " that
such a society is at all necessary in this island, where
the prosecutions are carried on by the police and the
Crown officers, without the prosecutor being sub-
jected, as in England, to any expenses."

THAMES.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— A FOOLISII YOUNG WOLIN.—
Ellen Stapleford, a young woman, was charged with
attempting to commit self-destruction by throwing her-
self into the London Dock from the In idge at Old Gravel-
lane, St. George-in-the-East, on Wednesday night last.
She was with great difficulty rescued by a man who was
passing by, and who procured the drags and kept her
afloat until a boat put off. She was raised into the
boat, and carried in a state of insensibility to the
workhouse, where she remained until this morn-
ing. She appeared very ill and weak. Her
husband, who said ho was a groom by occupation, had
not been in any regular situation for four years. He was
very poor, and only obtained a job now and then. He
bad been quarrelling with his wife about not being able
to get any money, but ho never ill-used her. The pri-
coner expressed great sorrow for what she had done, and
her landlady gave her a good character, and said she em-
ployed her for a shilling a day and her tea in making up
slops. She offered to 1.), responsible for the future good
conduct of the prisoner. lier husband made a similar offer.
The Magistiato would not take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of diseharg,ing the prisoner at present, nor
would he take bail for her. lie should remand her to the
Clerkenwell House o! Detention for a week, and she would
receive the . advice and attentions of the chaplain. lie
hoped she would profit by them and come out of prison a

ELECTION NEWS.

We were right in our supposition that the invita
tion to Mr. Whitworth and Mr. Bagehot, to become
Liberal candidates for Bridgwater, was premature.
The Attorney-General has given notice that he will
move for an address praying for the appointment of
a commission to inquire into the practices of the
borough. We should not be at all surprised to find
that the commission will have a result similar to that
which followed in the cases of Lancaster, Yarmouth.
Totnes, and Reigate.
There appears to be two Mr. Churchwards, and,
politically, they would seem to partake of the
character of the Siamese twins. Mr. Churchward,
of Dover, we all know as one of the most daring
politicians in the three kingdoms. His brother at
Pembroke seems to have offered his senior that
sincerest of all flattery—imitation. According to the
Daily Telegraph, "a memorial has been sent to the
Admiralty, praying that an inquiry shall be made
into the course taken by some of the officers of the
Pembroke Dockyard during the late contest for the
representation of that borough. Among the most
prominent offenders, it is said, is Mr. Churchward,
who was Mr. Meyrick's chairman. Mr. Meyrick was
the successful Conservative candidate. •
The writs having been moved for Blackburn and
Hereford, Holy Week in those two towns is being
passed amid a most undesirable excitement. The
Conservative candidates at Blackburn are Messrs.
Hornby and Feilden, the sons of the late candidates
on the Conservative side. Mr. Hornby, jun., was one
of the authors of the objectionable circular by the
millowners, urging that the employers should use
their " influence" in behalf of the " constitutional"
candidates. The Liberal candidates had not been
fixed upon on Tuesday. At Hereford Messrs. Clive
and Hoskyns are the Liberal candidates ; Messrs.
Arliwright and Baggallay the Conservative.

The list of r)0 odd juvenile M.P.'s who are under
30 years of age will receive an accession in the per-
son of the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of
Richmond, and who is just 24 years old. He is in
the Grenadier Guards.

---
The most influential supporters of Mr. Bruce In
itenfrewshire have determined to pay the costs of
his late election, which amounts to £444. Eighteen
gentlemen subscribed £25 each, or £6 more than the
reunited amount.

The following it, an account of a Mormon execu-
tion :—" The criminal was brought ironed into the court
yard, where there was a crowd of some four bundled, and
seated iu a chair. lie then read aloud a chapter from the
New Testament, the irons were taken off his hands, and at
a signal from the sheriff he was shot dead."

GREAT DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA.

The colonies of Victoria.and New South Wales are both
suffering terribly from the want of rain. The drought is
universal. From Melbourne in the south to Queensland
in the north sheep are perishing by thousands from want of
water. On one " run" 30,000 have been lost in this way.
Horses are offered at eight and ten shillings each,
and sheep can find no purchasers at sevenpence
a head. In New South Wales the Times correspondent
met with a horse-breeder who had sold 400 horses from
five to twelve years of age, and unbroken, for fivepence
head. The oases in the desert are extremely few, but, in
order to find them, the settlers have to imitate the prac-
tice of the patriarchs of -old, and take their flocks and
herds from one place to another. Much of the distress has
apparently arisen from overstocking runs. Irrigation
promises to become an A stralian as well as an Indian
Question.

HO USE.

• The Speaker, Mr: James Gillespie Blaine, of
Maine, was born in Washington county, Pennsy-
lvania, Jan. 31, 1830, and has thus just completed
his 39th year. He belongs to an old colonial
family that settled originally in Cumberland county
about 1745, having emigrated from Scotland in
that or the succeeding year. his grandfather,
Col. Ephraim Blaine, was a revolutionary officer of
distinction. Mr. Blaine graduated at Washington
College in 1847, went South as a teacher, was ad-
mitted to the bar, and settled in Maine ; succeeded
to the editorial chair of the Kennebee Journal iu
1852, and of the Portland Daily Advertiser in 1858.
For five years he was a member of the Maine
Legislature, two as a Speaker. Elected to Con-
gress in 1862, and re-elected in 1861, 1866, and
1868. He works hard, and never makes long
' speeches.
The Hon, Edward M'Pherson, elected Clerk of
the House for the fourth time, was born at Gettys-
burg, Pennsylvania, July 31, 1831, and is of Scotch
Irish extraction. He was educated at Pennsylvania
College, an institution under the charge of the Luthe-
ran Church, situate upon the field of Gettysburg,
and occupied by the rebel forces as an observatory
during the memorable struggle. Mr. M'Pherson
graduated in 1848, and 1851 edited a newspaper at
Harrisburg, but relinquished it after a few years
on account of ill-health and returned to Getty s_
burgh. In 1858 he waselectedt

STRIKE IS SWITZERLAND.

A general strike has taken place amongst the printers of
Geneva.. The malcontents are supported by the Inter-
national Association of Workmen. They have held a
meeting, at which all tile twenty-five sections of the asso-
ciation were represented. Violent speeches were made at
this gathering, and the " Marseillaise " was sung. Riots
are apprehended.
