SPAIN.

The elections have decided in favour of a monarchy, but
the question of the most probable candidate is still as
insolable as ever. The Ifiberte, which has from the first
spoken sanguinely in favour of an Italian prince, is now
adopting a dubious tone. The Provisional Government
are beginning to perceive that a foreign prince would not
be popular in Spain, and General Cialdini has quitted
Aladrid impressed with the full force of this conviction.
The negotiations have, however, been conducted
with great prudence ; the official journals have
kept rigorous silence, no communications in writing
have passed, and the Government has even
reserved the right of renouncing the candidature,
if the Cortes do not accept it "by acclamation." As the
Cortes is likely to accept nothing by acclamation, this is
very safe ground. The members of the Provisional
Government are clearly divided amongst themselves, and
they can agree upon no policy, or they would have put an
end to the dangerous position in which they linger. The
choice of a monarchy by a popular assembly is likely to
afford Europe a strange spectacle.

GERITANY.

The King of Prussia has increased the list of royal
writers. Ile has made his MAU as a journalist by
publishing, in a small print much read in the army,
an article entitled "In January 1865," vaunting
the new organisation of the military service of
the country, and criticising the conduct of the deputies
whose objections, had they been listened to, would not
have permitted Prussia to inscribe Sadowa in her military
annals. The King is evidently new to the work, and wants
practice. Skilled royal journalists do not take to open

A PICTURE OF LIFE.

An inquest held at Cubitt-town, in the Isle of Dogs,
has brought to light a terrible picture:of existence at the
East-end of London. The inquiry was held into the cir-
cumstances attending the death of a woman 34 years of
age and her infant child, both of whom had died from
starvation. The deceased woman was the wife of a
labourer, who, previousls to the commercial crisis
of 1866, earned about 14s. a week. Since that
date, however, they had been in a state of
destitution. The house in which they lived was occupied
by five other families, and in all the landlord received
ss. Pd. a week for rent. " All were badly off for food,"
according to the witnesses, who added that " the deceased
did not want more than they did." The husband applied to
the guardians for relief, and was ordered to the stone-yard.
As, however, he was prevented from earning more than Bd.
a day he did not go. At length, all their scanty stock of fur-
niture gone, their broken windows boarded up to exclude, if
possible, the wind and the raim'and with no hope of relief,
the mother and the infant died within a few hours of each
other, the last meal of the former having been a piece of
salt, with which she had vainly endeavoured to appease
the pangs of hunger. The husband had since become
insane, but as there was no room for him in the asylum,
"it being crowded with mad people," he had been taken
into the workhouse. In accordance with such facts as
these the jury returned their verdict.

REMARKS.

The rapid decrease in pressure noticed at Valencia yesterday after-
noon continued, and has since extended to all stations. Readings in
these islands are almost all below 29in., and are lowest in the N.W.
(28T4in. at Greencastle). Since last evening, however, a recovery to
the extent of 0161 n. has occurred in the west, and pressure is now
increasing again in London. The difference between the readings at
Greencastle and Rochefort is o'9sin. Temperature has not altered
much, except at some eastern stations, where it has risen. AS E.
to S. gale of short duration blew with great force at our western and
southern stations last night ; and thongh the wind has at present
generally moderated and veered to S.W., it still blows hard from that
quarter at Valencia, and on the W. coast of France. Rain has been
very general, and heavy al along our S. coasts. with thunder and
hail at Roche's Point, Fog has been prevalent in the east. The
sky this morning is cloudy. The sea runs high at Valencia and Cape
Clear.

M. Bands, a Paris stockbroker, committed suicide
on Tuesday last, by hanging himself in Lis house in the
Duo de Balzac. His confidential clerk, M. Alotto, now
in custody, is said to have misappropriated funds
to the extent of £120,000. When M. Banes heard
of his arrest ho was driven to despair, and though
(as believed) able to meet all his engagements, ho could not
Lear to look his affairs in the face, and sought relief from
them by the desperate remedy of self-destruction. The
event has naturally caused great excitement on the Bourse.

The formation of a " free labour society" for
Manchester was resolved upon at a meeting onlVednesday
The object of this association is "to secure to its members
the free exercise of their right to dispose of their labour
upon whatever terms and under whatever circumstances
they may individually and independently think fit." A com-
mittee was appointed to conduct the movement, and it was
intimated that 14ordiaorton of WattoA ouseotod to

LORD RUSSELL'S LETTER.

The third epistle of Lord Russell has met with a
very unfavourable reception from the Liberal journals.
The Times is downright puzzled by it. Surely, says
our contemporary, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, to whom
it is addressed, must have been aware of its
purport before it was published. Is the Chief
Secretary for Ireland at sea with regard to the Irish
policy ? Are Burke's words, quoted by Lord
Russell—" the Government crept meanly out of
difficulties into which it had strutted proudly "
prophetic ? Lord Russell's main proposition, the
division of the endowments among three commu-
nions. the Times declares to be so crude that
it will not stand examination for a minute, and
to be, moreover, at variance with the policy
enunciated by Mr. Gladstone last session,
approved by the majority of the late House of Com-
mons, carried by appeal to the constituencies of
the kingdom, and by them approved again. This is
a critical time for the Ministry, and it is necessary to
speak plainly, and to declare that Earl Russell's plan
will not do; that his reason—the necessity for resist-
ing the inroads of scepticism—will not justify the
setting aside of funds for building Roman Catholic
parsonages. " But," adds the Times, "there is some-
thing in Lord Russell's suggestions, despite their
feeble basis and imperfect development, which may
recommend them to some of the Ministry. Mr.
Bruce frankly told the electors of Renfrew that there
was a difficulty in disendowment. Equality, he said,
required either that the parsonages and glebes of the
existing Establishment should lapse on the death of
the existing incumbents, or that parsonages and
glebes should be provided for other religious bodies,
and he intimated that the Cabinet was hesitating
between the two methods of procedure. If this be
so, Lord Russell's letter may have a purpose."

FRESH TROUBLE IN AFFGHANISTAN.

Shere Ali has not secured peace and quietude Lyh's late
victory. A son of the ex •Ameer of Affghanistan has been
raising forces in Turkestan, and, owing to the remissness
of Shere Ali's officers, has seize 1 one or two important
posts. Abdool Rahman, who lost the late battle, has gone
to Turkestan to assist in this fresh outbreak of war. 4,8
Shere Ali, however, has the prestige of %let ry, beside;
British gold and influence, on his side, the Tinzcs of India
thinks that no serious consequences need be apprehended.
It is evident that our gold and influence are likely to find
ample employment.

OPERATIONS IN CHINA.

The outrage upon the crew of H.M.S. Cockchafer, has
been " satisfactorily " settled. Four hundred and fifty
men of the Rinaldo went down to Swatow, burned two
villages, killed and wounded a frw Chinese, and then
redress was given. Another small missionary difficulty at
Foochow was tempimarily settled by the arrival of a gun-
boat and the shooting of one Chinaman Aff irs, however,
have s!nce assumed a serious aspect the native population

THE DANGER OF VELOCIPEDES.

Mr. Clifford, inspector of nuisances for the vestry of
Clerkenwell, applied to Mr. Cooke, at the Clerkenwell
Police-court, yesterday morning, for a summons, under
the 57th Geo. 111., cap. 29, sec. 64, against a comic
singer, for driving a two-wheeled velocipede on the pave-
ment in Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. On Friday last, at
about half-past one, it was stated that the man against
whom the summons was applied for was driving
a velocipede along the pavement at the rate of
between ten and twelve miles per hour. Before he
could pull up the machine he knocked down three
persons and ran over the foot of another. He attempted
to make his escape, but was prevented by the police, and
having given his name and address, the vestry determined
that proceedings should be taken against him. This,
it was stated, was not the first accident of the kind
that had occurred through the driving of velocipedes
in Clerkenwell. Mr. Cooke at once granted the
summons.

EXEMYTION OF TWO MEN AT DURHAM:

The capital sentence of the law was carried into effect
yesterday morning at Durham, upon the two culprits
John M'Conville and William Dolan. It will be remem-
bered that Dolan was convicted at the late assizes for
the murder of a man named Ward, at Sunderland,
and M'Conville was convicted of the murder of
Philip Trainer, at Darlington. With regard to the latter
culprit, there was a very general disbelief amongst
the Irish population that he bad been guilty
of the deed imputed to him, and in consequence
a petition was forwarded to the Secretary of State on
his behalf. The petition was not acceded to, and during
the past week the wretched man has made a confession
of his crime. Calcraft was engaged as executioner on the
dread occasion. Askcrn had, it seems, been applied to,
but be refused the engagement, in consequence, it is said,
of some intimidation arising out of the last execution at
Durham, on which occasion the rope broke. Dolan
had also confessed his guilt, and on Sunday week last,
at St. Cuthbert's Doman Catholic Chapel, Durham,
Canon Consett, in offering up prayers for the dead, called
on the congregation to join him with their prayers on
behalf of the convicts, who, he said, were truly penitent,
were prepared to die, and admitted the justice of
their sentence. The double execution took place
yesterday morning in the interior of Durham
prison. Both culprits appeared very firm. They
were attended by two Catholic priests, to whom they
reiterated their confession of the crimes for which they
suffered. Calcraft performed his melancholy office. The
men died almost without a struggle. This was the first
private execution in the North, and though the public
were not admitted within the walls of the gaol, a great
crowd gathered outside.'

IMPORTANT TO STAKEHOLDERS.

JOHNSON v. CLEMENT.—This was an action brought
in the Westminster County Court on Tuesday
before F. Bayley, Esq., by Joseph Johnson, the land-
lord of the City Arms, Deptford, against the proprie-
tors of Bell's Life in London, to recover £2O, the
whole amount of the stakes which had been deposited
in their hands as stakeholders for 150 yards race between
the plaintiff and Isaac Sullivan. It will be remembered that
the race took place at the Prince of Wales Grounds, Bow,
on Feb. 8, when Sullivan won easily. The plaintiff and his
witnesses deliberately swore that he had his coat on when
the pistol was fired, and that his opponent was several yards
in advance, and upon those grounds he claimed the whole
of the stakes. The starter (Mr H. Woodstock), referee
(Mr J. Jenn), and other disinterested witnesses, fully dis-
proved these statements ; and his Honour, in summing
up the case, said that there was no doubt in his mind that
the race had been fairly wun and lost, therefore he should
give a verdict for the defendants.—Mr Jenkinson appeared
for the plaintiff ; abd Mi.. Gough, barrister, instructed by
Mr C. R Berkeley, for the defendants.

ISLE Or WIGHT UTEEPLECHASES.—To the many who
annually visit, this picturesque island in quest of sport,
we venture to remark that the Gutcombo Manor Plate
and the Ryde Handicap close and name on Tuesday next.
HAIIBLEDOX HUNT STEEPLECHASES.—The principal races
at this now popular meeting close on Tuesday next. The
course is all Leautiful glass, and sure to be first-class go-
ing. The fences have been considered exactly suited for
steeplechase horses. The Isle of Wight meeting will be
held ou the 13th, and horses are conveyed free from Ports-
mouth, offr ring an inducement to owners to attend the two

EXECIYTION OF TWO MEN AT DU.RHAM:

The capital sentence of the law was carried into effect
yesterday morning at Durham, upon the two culprits
John M'Conville and William Dolan. It will be remem-
bered that Dolan was convicted at the late assizes for
the murder of a man nanied Ward, at Sunderland,
and 111`Conville was convicted of the murder of
Philip Trainer, at. Darlington. With regard to the latter
culprit, there was a very general disbelief amongst
the Irish population that he had been guilty
of the deed imputed to him, and in consequence
a petition was forwarded to the Secretary of State on
his behalf. The petition was not acceded to, and during
the past week the wretched man has made a confession
of his crime. Ca.leraft was engaged as executioner on the
dread occasion. Asl:crn had, it seems, been applied to,
but be refused the engagement, in consequence, it is said,
of some intimidation arising out of the last execution at
Durham, on which occasion the rope broke. Dolan
had also confessed his guilt, and on Sunday week last,
at St. Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Chapel, Durham,
Canon Consett, in offering up prayers for the dead, called
on the congregation to join him with their prayers on
behalf of the convicts, who, he said, were truly penitent,
were prepared to die, and admitted the justice of
their sentence. The double execution took place
yesterday morning in the interior of Durham
prison. Both culprits appeared very firm. They
were attended by two Catholic priests, to whom they
reiterated their confession of the crimes for which they
suffered. Calcraft performed his melancholy office. The
men died almost without a struggle. This was the first
private execution in the North, and though the public
were not admitted within the walls of the gaol, a great
crowd gathered outside.

LOA D 02,1, TUESD.II; MARCH 23, 1869.

The debate runs on. It is mere talk—in this sense,
of course, that it is perfectly well understood through-
out that nothing whatever will come of it in the way
of modifying, even to the smallest extent, the res
a:result certain, from the very moment, to have been
arrived at on the inevitable division. Never was
the result of an elaborate and lengthened debate
more disticeily a foregone conclusion. To all-
intents and purposes the division list might
be publi,hed pretty safely beforehand. Every-
body knows how everybody will vote before the
ayes and noes are told out into the opposite lobbies.
To a considerable extent, of course, this is frequently
the case in matters that are brought to a division in
the House, matters not absolutely and avowedly re-
garded as what are called open questions. But it
Is a mistake to suppose,

THE REFORM LEAGUERS.

Messrs. Beales (MA.) and Howell will certainly
not lose anything by resigning their connection with
the now defunct Reform League. Mr. Beales, it is
said, will get a county-court judgeship, which should
be equivalent to his retirement from political life;
and Mr. Howell, having failed to get a seat in Par-
liament, has become private secretary to a gentleman
who has been more fortunate than he.

PORTUGAL.

The situation at Lisbon becomes worse and worse. The
finsacial difficulties of tbe naticarbave given rise to other --
difficulties of every description. The work of govern-
ment, in fact, has become so difficult that the King has
had recourse to the desperate expedient of reducing the
number of deputies in the National Assembly, and has
signed a decree for that purpose. This is a very grave step
in opposition to popular wishes.

GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Diggers who contemplate seeking wealth in the gold
mines of South Africa bad better wait until more definite
information arrives. There is plenty of pro3pcct that gold
is to be found in South Africa, but hitherto very little has
been secured. The precious metal has been found in
several places, but not in remuneiative quOntities. Some
Australian diggers have given their opinion that rich
deposits exist. More than this cannot be said at present.

AUSTRALIA.

The Government of Victoria have invited teiu'e:s for
a monthly mail and passenger service vid the Cape of
Good Hope. This route is much preferable to the Cape
Horn track which has been hitherto followed. Indeed
the perils and discomforts of the latter voyage have
resulted in the almcst total cessation of voluntary emigra-
tion to Australia. Emigrants are sore'y wanted in the
colony, and the authorities hope by the establishment of a
rapid monthly mail service to give a fresh impetus to a
movement which is now in such a languishing condition.

ABRIDGED STATEMENT.
ADVANTAGES OF THE DEBENTURES.

Mortgage taken in the joint names of Trustees on behalf of the
Debenture-holders.
Each t 1, Debenture: -
Will be secured upon Freehold Land, by mortgage or hypothe-
cation.
Will be redeemable at Xl2 per bond (thus giving a bonus of
20 per cent.), by annual drawings, after the third year.
Will have coupons for interest, payable half-yearly, at the rate
of 7 per cent. per aunum attached, and—
Will be accompanied by a warrant certificate, entitling the
holder (in addition to the above bonus) to a distributive share in
half of the surplus profit arising from the ultimate realisation of
the entire property comprised in the mortgage.
Applications for fully paid-up Debentures will be entitled to
priority of allotment.

If no allotment be made the whole of the deposit will be re-
turned without deduction. If the whole amount applied for be
not allotted the excess of deposit will be applied to the future
payments due upon Buell number as may be allotted, but interest
at the rata of 7 per cent. per annum will be allowed and paid as
above thereon.

An opinion of the soundness of this security, and of the value
of the distributive share of surplus profit afered to the Deben-
ture-holders, may be formed from reports annexed to the printed
particulars, and the consideration that Trouville is one of the
choicest marine resorts in France, where the noblesse spend their
summer. It lies on the coast of Normandy, opposite to Has-re,
directly south of the Isle of Wight, and possesses one of the
largest and most comfortable hotels in France, public rooms,
gardens, walks, slopes green to the water's edge, and sands
snnerior to these of Scarborough or Ilamsgate.
Frt m London Trouville may be reached via Dove! and Calal-,
or Folkestone and Boulogne, or via outhampton and Havre.
From Paris it is only five hours and a half distent by railway.
Plans of the properties and reports of architects and sur-
veycrs may be obtained at the Offices, or will be forwarded by
post.

Full printed particulars of the Loan and forms of subscription
mrty be obtained of the Bankers, Brokers, and at the Offices

A BATTLE IN CUBA.

The last engagement in Cuba was unque,tionably .the
most severe that has yet taken place, but the details given
by the authorities are very suspicious. The Government
accounts state that a force of Spaniards, under General
Lases., marching towards Puerto Principe, was confronted
by an army of 4,000 insurgents in an entrenched position.
" A cannonade was begun on the works, after which a
column of 1,500 troops stormed them at the point of the
bayonet. Both sides fought with vigour. The Spanish lose
is reported at 31 killed and 80 wounded, the rebel loss at
1,000." It is difficult to swallow this story. Previous
experience of Spanish war bulletins is not such as to lead
to confidence in an account of 1,500 men storming an en-
trenched position defended by 4,000, inflicting a loss of
1,000, and suffering less than one-tenth of that number.
But the battle seems to have been of great importance,
and the Government claims the victory. In some minor
affairs the insuraents have had the advantage.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

The Dundee Advertiser says it will be satisfactory to all
merchants and manufacturers having dealings with the
Government to know that a system is about to be
adopted with regard to Admiralty contracts which will
doubtless be followed before long in the several other
State offices in which purchases have to be made. Mr.
Baxter, the Financial Secretary, will, in the beginning of
April, open a new Purchase and Contract Department
at Whitehall, with a complete system of books, checks,
and regulations, suggested by his commercial experience.
In this department all the store purchases will be made in
future under Mr. Baxter's personal superintendence, and in
it all tenders—when tenders are called for—will be received.
As the responsibility of purchasing will be centred in this
office, the character of the firms making tenders will
be considered along with the tenders themselves, and fair
dealers and upright men will receive that fair play which
it is generally believed has been too often withheld from
them. The importance of the change will be acknowledged
by all engaged in those branches of business which have
transactions with the Government.

THE GOVERNMENT AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was waited upon
on Saturday by members of the Meteorological Society,
who asked for a participation in the grant of £lO,OOO
made annually by Parliament to the Royal Society.
Mr. Lowe, in return, gave the deputation what he
himself called a lecture. Going out of the way usual
on such occasions,he gave at some length his opinions
on granting State money to voluntary II )cieties. He
was entirely and altogether opposed to the Govern-
ment doing anything of the kind. They
were economising ; that was one insuperable
difficulty in the way. But even if there
were plenty of money to spare he should be
opposed to giving anything to the Meteorological
Society. He would do nothing on the part of the
Ministry which the people could do for themselves.
"As long as people are left to their own exertions,
they do most admirably well, and they make their
money go far. People found schools, for
instance, with the greatest enthusiasm and
the greatest wish to promote the interests of
education and of religious teaching ; they make
great sacrifices, and do a great deal of most praise-
worthy work; but from the moment they begin to finger
Government money, it seems as if it produces a
revolution in their minds, and the whole object of
the schools seems to be perverted froin the real
intention of the people who founded them, and
directed to the getting the greatest possible amount
of Government money." He therefore advised
the society to have nothing to do with such
money, but if the public did not support them, to
withdraw operations until their need was fully felt.

OPERATIONS IN CHINA.

The outrage upon the crew of S.M.S. Cockchafer, has
been " satisfactorily " settled. Four hundred and fifty
men of the Rinaldo went down to Swatow, burned two
♦illages, killed and wounded a few Chinese, and then
redress was given. Another small missionary difficulty at
Foochow was temporarily settled by the arrival of a gun•
boat and the shooting of one Chinaman. Aff,irs, however,
have since assumed a serious aspect, the native population
are greatly excited, and notic:s have been roted on the
walls calling upon the people to expel the Europeans.

MEXICO.

The recent numerous executions in the Republic
have caused so much trepidation and horror among
the people that Juarez has ordered a complete sus-
pension of them throw/bout the country. All the
military prisoners recently captured in rebellion aro
ordered to the capital to be tried for treason.
General Negreti.is reported to be reorganising his
forces. Escobedo has defeated the insurgents under
Cauales in Samulipas.

• A bona fide prize fight, according to the rules of
the ling, except that hair-pulling and biting
were allowed, took place between two women
in Somerville, Masslchusetts, at an early hour
on Monday morning. At the first round one of
them, named Sarah Chapman, became frightened
and jumped out of the ring, but her backers drove
her in again, and she eventually won the fight. At
the twenty-first round her opponent, Molly Jones
—both of them having been severely punished
begged her seconds, in God's name, to take her
s way ; and so the fight and money— fifty dollars—.
was awarded to Sarah.
