SPAIN WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT,

The Impartial, of Madrid, which speaki with some
authority, says that the question of a regency is again
under consideration amongst the revolutionary leaders.
The Regency—probably the Impartial means Directory—
will be formed of Prim, Serrano, and Olozaga, Prim to
retain his portfolio as Minister of War, and p take the.
Presidency of the Council. In short, Prim by thiaarrange•'
went would become King of Spain.

.14s. 10d. The total receipts
amounted to £439 19s. Bd., and the expenditure kit a

General Burnside contradicts in a letter to the
Tribune the statement of one of its correspondents, reflect-
ing on the courage of Mr. Goddard, as displayed in the
battle of Bull Run. Both he and lieutenant, uow General,
Sisson, had an altercation in the field, as to who was to
command a company of, sharpshooters of the First R. I.
Regiment, but they had both displayed great gallantry.

NEW PLAN OF LIGHTING THE STREETS BY
ELECTRICITY.—Mr. William Wheeler has sent in a com-
munication to the Board of Aldermen of New York, rela-
tive to the lighting and extinguishing the street lamps by
electricity, by wires connecting them with each other, and
operated on by batteries placed at different points. The
method is the same as that used in lighting the dome of the
Capitol and the Halls of Congress at 'Washington, Mr.
Stewart's new store, the picture gallery of his new house on
Fifth-dvenue,and,we believe, Booth'sTbeatre. Mr. Wheeler
claims that the whole expense of laying the wires, erect-
ing the batteries, and lighting the city, will be saved and
paid for in a few years, at the present cost of simply light-
ing the lamps. He estimates that, in 20 years, the saving
to the city will be $1,000,000. By the pmposed arrange-
ment, if any lamp should be extinguished accidentally, it
will immedately relight itself. in addition to the proposed
electrical lighting, the wires can be used for telegraphic
purposes, and a complete system of underground telegra-
phic communication with every part of the city can be
arranged. The subject was referred to a special committee,
composed of Aldermen Moore, Cuddy, and Farley.—New
York Tribune. —An extensive German settlement has sprung
