THE PLOT THICKENS IN SPAIN.

The efforts of the Spanish Government to obtain a
king have once more ended in leaving the Revolu-
tionary leaders in precisely the position from which
they started. For weeks past the Progressists have
been intriguing to place the crown on the head of
the Duke of Genoa. Many difficulties have pre-
sented themselves, but the Progressists are now con-
fronted by ono which they ought to have foreseen.
The Duke will not have the crown. The Times
says :—" We have good authority for contra-
dicting the assertion of the Madrid Ministerial
journals, that ' the Duke of Genoa, if elected, will
accept the Spanish Crown.' The young Prince has,
on the contrary, expressed his firm determination
not to accept the Crown of Spain, either now
or at any time.' We are also authorised to deny the
statement that the Marquis Rapallo has been in-
triping at Madrid in favour of the election of the
Prince.' The Marquis Rapallo, who is now in
London, has never been in Madrid nor in any other
part of Spain; and both himself and the Duchess of
Genoa are, and have always been, strongly opposed to
the Prince's acceptance of the Crown."

OTHER ITEMS OF SERVICE NEWS.

The most important event since last week is the
publication of the control warrant. It is being rapidly
promulgated, and will speedily come into force. It will
probably be in working order by the beginning of
December.—All the divisional engineers at the seve-
ral ports are to be superseded on the first of the New
Year.—A circular has been sent from Whitehall to all
the principal officers of the Coast-guard, calling their
attention to the necessity of having only able and
efficient men• in the service, and ordering a return to
be made immediately of the state of all under their
command. It is expected that a further and very
important reduction will be made in this branch of
the service, and probably the force will be one
thousand men less this year than it was in 1868-9.

THE LAST FROM THE "RECORD."

The Archbishop of Canterbury's illness is a source
of regret to the Record. That expounder of the
truth is kind enough to give his Grace permission to
live. "5.lVe. differ from the Archbishop on some
important points, but at the present eventful crisis
the preservation of his life would appear,
'speaking after the manner of men' to be of
much importance to the Church of England."
There is a benignity in this announcement which all
persons ought to appreciate. But it is clear that his
Grace has had a narrow escape. had the Record
differed from the Archbishop on a few more impor-
tant points, the regret at his illness would probably
have diminished. And we are clearly given to under-
stand that the preservation of Dr. Tait's life depends
only upon the " present eventful crisis." Should that
pass away no doubt the Record's permission will be
withdrawn.

THE TWELVE DAYS' MISSION.

A. conference has been held of the clergy taking
part in the High Church Revival in the metropolis.
From the comparison of notes we learn how great an
interest has been taken in this mission. There are
scarcely any services that do not attract 200
people, and many two or three times that number.
Considering that there are 120 churches taking
part, besides congregations in schoolrooms, it may be
fairly estimated that the total number daily attend-
ing this mission is 35,000. Of these very many are
persons who aro not in the habit of attending divine
service. Differences of theology had no influence
upon the harmony of this conference. The greatest
unanimity prevailed.

TILE PRUSSIAN MINISTER OF FINANCE,

The new Prussian Minister of Finance has laid before
the Chamber of Deputies the draft of a measure relating
to the conversion and reduced liquidation of the national
debt, the profit derived from this scheme being
Li plied towards the extinction of the deficit with-
>ut an increase of the public burdens. Another measure
deposes to transform the duty on grinding and slaughter-
ing, which weighs so heavily upon the centres of population,
into a tax on the revenue. The number of towns which
will profit by the change is not largo, and some disappoint-
ment is felt at what is considered a half measure,
especially as the chamber last year passed a resolution
in favour of the entire abolition of the tax in question.
Thelaw respecting debt will not admit of a long discussion,
and the Budget, which will probably be modified in any case,
depends upon its fate. A very voluminous measure on
public instruction threatens, however, to engross a great deal
of time. The impression as yet made by it isnot favourable.
It is considered too much a matter of routine, and is in many
respects inconsistent with public liberty. As the Prussians
pride themselves upon the high value which they set on
national education, they are somewhat indignant. It is
singular that while the Government proposes to the
Chambers the suppression of that article of the Constitu-
tion which provides for gratuitous popular instruction, a
special commission of the town council at Berlin have
decided in favour of the absolute freedom of instruction.
The capital would thus renounce a revenue of 40 thousand
thalcrs.

ENGINEERING IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The Engineer remarks upon the recent rapid develop-
ment of engineering enterprise in South America. Rail-
ways and steam navigation are being pushed forward with
vigour, while gold and gas companies are in course of
formation. The project of piercing the Andes is
now seriously entertained, and a railway line is
in contemplation -which will enable Peru to reach the
upper waters of the Amazon. Chili has devoted a new
loan of £300,000 to the continuation of railways through
its southern agricultural districts, and in the northern
mining districts the wire tramway has been taken up
by the copper smelters, who, owing to the depressed
,tate of their trade, aro averse to the outlay of a railway
line. A large public works' loan raised on guano is talked
of in Peru, where every available engineer is employed on
railways, piers, and tramways. A large quarry has been
opened at Quassaquit, Ecuador, and in Bolivia a project
!las been set on foot for reworking the famous mines of
Potosi. All through the Southern continent engineering
enterprise is busy both above and under ground; but in
the five States of Central America there is still great room
for improvement, though even there plans are being formed
for intcroceanic railways and canals which will, if carried
out: greatly benefit the country.

NAVAL CHANGES.

- The most important item of naval news is that the
system of naval retirement, so long under considera-
tion, is matured, and has obtained the sanction of the
Treasury, and is likely to be made public in the
course of the week. The hope that the long
wanted and anxiously expected change would be in-
augurated with the new year is disappointed.
The April list, however, may testify to the reform.
As evidence of the importance of the forthcoming
alterations, it may be mentioned that Rear-Admiral
Forbes was told, on the appointment at Queenstown
being offered to him, he would be liable to be removed
from his command in the course of a few months and
transferred to a retired list.
London, England, 1869-11-22

LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 22, 1869.

IT seems to be decided that the present French
Ministry will be dissolved, and that a new one will
arise, with M. OLLIVIER at its head. It was evident
from the first that the Cabinet which was formed
when the EMPEROR decided to reform the Constitution
was merely a makeshift. It was composed in great
measure of the old materials—the supporters of
despotic government; and the new Ministers were in
no single instance drawn from the Moderate Party,
who brought about the reforms of last June. It is
the rule in all constitutional States that the party
whose principles prevail shall conduct the
affairs of the nation ; and though the EMPEROR
for a long time kept the Moderate Liberals
out of office, he has at length been com-
pelled to admit them. M. OLLIVIER, the pre-
siding genius of the new ministry, is the leader of the
Moderates, and by far their ablest representative.
He will be assisted in the duties of Government by
M. de TALIIOUET, M. BUFFET, M. SEGRIS, and
others of the famous 110 who signed the demand for
reform and compelled the EMPEROR to grant it. But
though the victorious party thus come into place
and power, it is by no means certain that they
will enjoy any long term of office. We have
previously pointed out that the moderate Liberals
are deplorably deficient in able leaders. M. OLLIVIER,
the most competent, is a deserter from the
Balledl ranks, and whilst he is odious to
the politicians whom he has left he is not
fully trusted by those whom he has joined.
Moreover, the new Government is not in a positive
majority in the Chambers, though relatively its sec-
tion is the strongest. The Radicals and Imperialists
together outnumber the 110, and, like our own Radi-
cals and Conservatives, they may unite to defeat the
common foe. But the elevation of M. OLLIVIER and
his friends cannot fail to prove beneficial to the
nation. They are pledged to a constitutional
course ; they must advance in the track upon
justwhich
they have entered. Indeed, there are many
reforms which must still be achieved before the posi-
tion of the Moderates, as the representatives of par-

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

The Cuban Junta in New York has been reorganised
with Mr. Miguel Aldama, the wealthiest of planters
among its members. The other members are men of practical
rapacity, and there seems to bo a good understanding
between them. General Cespedes promises to give to
each family of which father or brother have fallen for
Cuban freedom thirty-three acres of land till his estate is
exhausted. As Cespedes is an extensive landowner, the
gift must be very considerable. Seven of the officers
of the privateer Cuba arrested at Wilmington,
were brought to Brooklyn and delivered to United
States Marshal Dallor, for trial before the United
States Circuit Court of that district. The men were all attired
in the full uniform of the Cuban Republic. Intelligence
has been received from the interior towns of Cuba that the
cholera still prevails there, and at Puerto Principe the
yellow fever has appeared.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The case of the Foresters' Music Hall, Maryle-
bone, came up to-day. It was a first sitting for proof
of debt and decree of trade assets. The bankrupt de-
scribed himself as a " music hall propi ietor, ventrilo-
quest, professor of music, and prestidigitateur."
He attributed his failure to " Insufficiency of
profits, being sued by creditors and heavy law
expenses." This indebtedness exceeds £l,OOO,
and among hislprineipal unsecured creditors are Mr.
Joseph Arnold Cave, of the Victoria Theatre, about
£76 ; the parish of Marylebone Vestry Hall about
£5O ; the manager of the St. George's Advance
Company, Pall-mall, £370. Mr. Charles Eldridge,
of 16, Elgin-road, Harrow-road, was appointed
creditor's assignee, and the Court fixed the Bth of
February for the examination.

TIPPERARY.

According to the London correspondent of the
Sheffield Telegraph, a curious point will arise to-day
at the nomination for Tipperary. O'Donovan Rossa,
one of the Fenian convicts, will be nominated, and
the question is, whether the Sheriff will bo justified
in refusing to recognise the nomination, or the
demand of a poll, if one be demanded.
At the first blush, people would say that
if the Sheriff's attention be duly called to

the fact that Rossa is undergoing imprison-
ment for felony, he must be treated as a
nullity. But the writer believes that the better
opinion among lawyers is that, though the election of
Rossa would as a matter of course be a void one, and
all votes in his favour would be thrown away, the
Sheriff has merely ministerial, not judicial, duties to
perform, and therefore must not presume to judge
whether a candidate, duly nominated, is eligible or
not.

SPECIE PAYMENTS IN NEW YORK.

The New York Chronicle states that the Northern cotton
merchants are very desirous of introducing a gold basis
into that business. The shipper already has to adjust his
currency prices to the gold value, and he might as well
deal in gold while a gold basis would produce a greater
equality in prices at the American ports and at Liverpool.
In California the whole business is conducted on a coin
basis, and in the South there is a desire to attain the same
result. Measures are being taken to establish banks on
this principle. It was resolved by the late commercial
convention at Louisville " that planters sell their cotton,
hemp, tobacco, and sugar for coin only, and that they make
their labour contracts payable only in specie."

GREAT DOUBLE SCULLING- RACE 11011 .C2A.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of Saturday

eron'aag:—

To-dny was decide.l over the Tyne Champion
Course the great race between Henry Kelley and
Joseph Sather, and James Renforth and James
Taylor, all tried and good men, for the above
amount.

A magnificent race—Kelley and Sadlar rowing
at a great pace, and gradually increasing their lead
to two lengths. The contest was a splendid one,
and Renforth, making a fine spurt, drew up to
his men a quartet of a mile from home, and touched
them on their quarter. Kelley and Smiler, full, of
rowing, got away again, and came in first by two
lengths. The referee was appealed to by both sides,
and decided the race in favour of Kelley, who re-
ceived a great ovation.

WATERFORD NOMINATION.

The nomination at Waterford was not such a lively
affair as had been anticipated. Sir Henry Barron
advocated fixity of tenure, and declared that he
would give up
He recommended the adoption of a system of tenant
his rights as a landlord for this object.
right, and expressed an anxiety to see employment
provided for Irish labourers, manufactures established
in the country, and religious differences obliterated.
Referring to the political prisoners, he said his prin-
ciple had ever been to treat them with mercy and
kindness and forbearance. "A voice " required him
jto say " ustice," and he complied ; but ventured to
add that if he did not think their release would
add to the power of the British Government,
he would be the first to condemn them to their
present exile. Mr. Bernal Osborne thought that the
condition of the Fenian prisoners was an objectnext
the heart of every one in the country ; and. said he
would do all in his power to effect their release. He
declared himself in favour of a land measure on a
broad principle of freedom, let it coma from what
Ministry it might. He also advocated the Ballot, a
tax on absentee landlords, among whom lie included
his opponent, and put a telling finish to his address
by assuring the electors that if returned ho would
devote his best energies to the interests of the country,
and then exclaimed with stentorian energy, " God
save Ireland." The gallery responded with a tre-
mendous cheer, and on a show of hands being taken.
it was declared to be in favour of Mr. Osborne.

POISONING NO MURDER.

The Isle of Man must be a pleasantplace to live in.
Those who are so disposed may attempt to poison
their friends or enemies without the slightest danger
of punishment. The woman who was accused of
having. tried to murder her husband, by slowly
poisoning him, at Port Erin, was put on trial on
Thursday ; and although the evidence against her
was almost overwhelming, the prosecution had to be
withdrawn, as there is no provision under the Manx
criminal code for the punishment of a person charged
with attempting to murder by poison.

ANOTHER STRIKE ON THE ERIE RAILROAD.

It was reported in Jersey city, on the Bth of November,
that all the brakesmen on the eastern division of the Erie
Railroad had struck in consequence of the discharge of
three of their number. At Port Jerois a meeting was
called, and the immediate restoration of the discharged
men was demanded. The request not being complied
with, a strike was resolved upon, and as each train ar-
rived the brakesmen were informed of the state of affairs,
and at once left their trains. The company have resolved
to employ new hands, and Controller Fisk has proceeded
to Port Jerois to pay off the strikers and to employ
" green " men to run the freight trains. A large number
of recruits was obtained in New York, and 150 men in
the lower parts of Jersey.

WESTMINSTER.

A MONSTER OF INIQUITY.—Wm. Howell, a bricklayer,
about 40 years of age, was charged with assaulting his
wife and child.

The wife, a decent looking woman, told a long tale of
the horrid brutality that she had been subjected to by
the prisoner. They lived in the house of a constable
named Anstiss, 132 B, at No. 3, First-street, Chelsea., and
had been there four weeks, and prisoner was in the habit
of coming home drunk, knocking his
.children about and
his wife, too. Ho left them without money or food, would
not let his wife take any work in, and made use of the
most loathsome expressions to his little children, 12 and
14 years of age. Her little body had scars and wounds
where he had knocked him about, and be had made
him a cripple for life, taking him by the hair and
twisting him round. On Saturday prisoner came
in, struck the little boy in the mouth and made it bleed,
then kicked him, and then pulled him by the hair; the
wife interfered, and he gave her a black eye and cut her
mouth open.

Anstiss, the constable, said the woman was a quiet
well-conducted woman, and the husband altogether the
reverse.

Mr. Selfe strongly animadverted on the ruffianly con-
duct of the prisoner, and regretted that he had not the
power to administer the cat to such a ruffian, who was just
the object that required it He sentenced him to six
months hard labour for the assault on the wife, two months
for the assault on the boy, and after the expiration of
these terms to find bail in £2.0 to keep the peace for six
months.

BREARFAST.—Errs's COCOA.— CRATEFUL AND COM-
FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara-
tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service
Gazette remarks :—" The singular success which Mr. Epps
attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has
never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plication of the fine properties of well• selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk.

THAMES.

THE MILKMAN AND HIS "StrXDAY GOING TROLTSEILS."—
Sophia Peck, aged 22 years, was charged with stealing a
pair of trousers, a silk haudkerchief, and a pair of br.tees,
the property of James Banks, a milk dealer of 25, Palmer's-
folly, St. George-in-the-East.

The prisouer was servant to the prosecutor, who missed
his "Sunday-going trousers, " braces, and a handkerchief
on the 3d of October last, and ho could neither go to chu:ch
nor take his usual Sunday evening walk with his wife on
that day.

Isaac Pawsey, a detective policeman, had been looking
for the prisoner ever since, and did not find her until
Saturday. lie produced a pair of trousers, which

the prosecutor identified, and said the last time he wore
thorn was at Burnet stock fair on the 4th and sth of Sep-
tember last. On the 6th his wife carefully deposited the
trousers in a box, and covered them over with a silk
handkerchief to keep the dust from them. The prisoner
raised money upon them at the shop of Mr. Fuller,
pawnbroker in Commercial-road, and afterwards made
a statutory declaration that she had lost the duplicate.
The declaration, signed by the Magistrate, was found
upon her when she was apprehended by Pawsey in the
workhouse of St. George's-in-the-East, whither she re-
sorted after spending all her money.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the next Middle-
sex Sessions.

A COUPLE or TARTARS.—Elizabeth Evans was charged
with biting the nose of Mary Ann Ahearn, of Kinder-
street, St George's-in-the-East.

The parties, who belong to the frail sisterhood, and are
both infamous, quarrelled and fought in a public street, to
the great delight of numerous blackguards, roughs, and loose
women, and they rolled over each other on the ground.
Beth got up bleeding, the prisoner with one finger nearly
severed, and the prosecutrix with her nose lacerated and
bleeding. She averred that the prisoner bit her nose,
which was strapped up with surgical plaisters.
Mr. Gomm, who defended the prisoner, elicited from the
prosecutrix that she had been frequently convicted for
assaults, and had been twice imprisoned for six months
for a violent outrage upon a woman.

James Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Shadvrell, said
that he had attended upon both women by order of the
magistrate. The forefinger of the prisoner's right hand
was bitten to the bone. There were scratches on the face
of the prosecutrix, and her nose was lacerated and
scratched, but it had not been bitaen. There were no
teeth marks on the nose. Both women were contused.

The Magistrate said that both women were perfect
savages. Ile ordered that the prisoner should enter into
her recognizances to keep the peace, and she was then
dismissed.

LORD DIINGLAS IN BERWICKSHIRE.

The labours of Lord Dunglas to woo the fair con-
stituency of Berwickshire have been entirely thrown
away. The old spouse of the county has not deserted
her; Mr. Robertson claims her still, he is not
going away to the House of Lords ; and Lord Dunglas
retires in confusion. His lordship hopes, however, to
win her some day, and does not intend to close
all connection with the electors. He has issued a cir-
cular to them, in which he thanks them for their
courtesy, excuses himself from public appearance
under present circumstances, and says he will go on
with his canvass. Every resident elector is to receive
a visit, Lord Dunglas intending to come forward for
the county "whenever a suitable opportunity occurs."

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
sprints, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
ths natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals lop the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found 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 Ihat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
