MADRID, Nov. 22.
The Gazette publishes the statement of the Inde-
pendence Beige, that Lord Howden had asked the
governm eut for explanations as to the political
course it intended to pursue.
The Madrid journals of the 20th state that at the
reception held by the Queen, on the occasion of
her fete, O'Donnell and his colleagues in his cabi-
net—M. Rios Roses, M. Coiled°, M. Pastor Diaz,
and M. Salaverria—were present as were also all
the notabilities of the moderado' party. At
Malaga the garrison had been reinforced by
500 men. On their arrival the military, comman
der passed them in review, and in a speech
praised the garrison for its conduct in the recent
insurrection, and exhorted them to imitate it, if
necessary. He added that he was determined to
maintain order at every cost, and that before the
throne should be placed in danger the insurgents
would have to pass over his coryle. He then cried
"Long live the Queen !" and the cry, according to
the Gazette, was repeated with enthusiasm by the
troops. Great precautions had been taken in the
town for the preservation of order, and all the po-
pulation had been disarmed. Numerous arrests
had been and were being effected. The court mar-
tial had condemned nine insurgents to death, and
it was believed that the same fate awaited others.
None of the soldiers and insurgents wounded in
the fight bad died, but the wounds of one soldier
and of several of the insurgents were serious. The
Epoca says that when the news of the rising at
Malaga reached Granada there were indications
that a revolt was imminent ; but the authorities
by their energy prevented an outbreak, and they
afterwards sent word to the Government that they
would answer for the maintenance of order.

Le Nord publishes a long state document from
the Greek Ministry of Finance, dated last July,
giving an exposition sufficiently flattering of the
state of Greece political, financial, and social. It
is addressed to M. Tricoupi, to be laid before the
English Government.

THE ARREST, IN BERLIA, OF MR.
MORRIS MOORE, Off LOSDON—Ins
LIBERATION.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
We have received a -letter from Mr. Morris
Moore, the fine arts connoisseur, of Soho-square,
whose arrest on Friday last, by the Government
authorities of Berlin, we announced in our impres-
sion of yesterday. r. Morris Moore, in his com-
munication to us. dated " Berlin, Sunday even-
ing," calls our attention to the following paragraph
from the Yolks Zeitung of that capital, published
on the previous day :
"The well-known English connoisseur, Mr. Morris
Moore, has been staying here for the last month, with
a view to examine the works of art in the Prussian
museums, and to put himQelf in personal connection
with our notabilities. We are informed that last
night an unexpected search was made in Mr. Morris
Moor's apartments by the police, and that Mr. Morris
Moore himself was confined at the presidency of police,
whence he was not released until one o'clock p.m.
this day. It has transpired that the suspicion of his
having political schemes here was altogether un-
founded."
To this Mr. Morris Moore adds :—" The above
is correct as far as it goes, but others, and some
high in position in England, are beneath. The
conduct of the police was outrageous, but that of
the British Ambassador, Lord Blomfield, worse.
It is now five o'clock, Sunday evening : the police
have not yet brought back my effects. They kept
possession of my apartments from ten o'clock on
Friday evening until two o'clock p.m. of the fol-
lowing day (yesterday). While in possession they
ordered that any letters that might arrive for me
were to be brought up to them, and that visitors
were to be inveigled up as tk Nigh I had been at
home. They laid in wait to see who they could
pounce upon. You may expect to receive more
particulars from me to-morrow, Just now I have
barely time to catch the post."

TBE AEFM:SENTATION OF
SoUTHA

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING.
The meeting of Liberal electors in St. Mary's, to
which we referred yesterday, was held last night at $
o'clock at the Castle Hotel, in Bevois-street. Neither
of the candidates was present, but their several claims
and pretensions to the honour of representing the
bi,rough were warmly advocated by their respective
supporters.

A resolution recommending Mr. Wtguelin to the
suffrages of the Liberal electors was propo•+ed, to which
an amendment of a like character in favour of Mr.
James was moved. A third proposition, deferring any
ecisi,•;n till after the general public meeting this even-
ing, was submitted, and ultimately adopted, both the
others being withdrawn.

Two or three squibs have been issued during the day
in reference to this evening's meeting, the one side
calling upon the electors to have nothing to do with a
"place-hunting and clap-trap lawyer," and the other
exhorting them not to have "a half Russian" to repre-
sent them, and not to disgrace themselves " by bowing
down before the money-bags of a Russian merobant."
The most intense excitement prevails, and to•night'e
meeting is expected to be a very long and stormy one.

LLEVEN O'CLOCK.

The great meeting at the Riding-school has just ter-
minated ; 4,000 or 5,000 persons were present; tremen-
dous excitement prevailed. Mr. Alderman Dusaty pre-
sided. Mr. Weguelin and Mr. James severally addressed
the meeting amid great uproar. Mr. E. Dixon moved
a resolution in favour of Mr. Weguelin, which was
seconded by Mr. Andrew Lamb. Mr. Alderman and
Sheriff Williams moved a counter resolution in favour
of Mr. James, which was seconded by Dr. E. Hearne.
On being put to the vote the show of hands was very
evenly balanced, and the chairman declared the majority
to be in favour of Mr. James. This decision was disputed
by Mr. Weguelin's supporters, and defended by Mr;
James's friends, and the meeting was on the point of
breaking up amid great uproar, when, the chair having
been vacated, Mr. Councillor Clarke was called to it,
when it was proposed by Mr. Pegler and seconded by
Mr. William Linkester, that the chairman having de-
cided against the evidence and the votes of the meeting,
and having abruptly left the room, it is hereby resolved
that the decision be reversed, and that the votes be de-
clared to be in favour of Mr. Weguelin. This resolu-
tion was carried unanimously.

The annual meeting. of the subscribers and friends of
this valuable Institution was held in the Board-roast
Cherry street, on Thursday last, and the proceedings,
though brief, were interesting, as showing increased utilit/

that a letter had been received from the Earl of Dsr
