CIIOLEDA lii GAMBIA.

A complaint has been made by several residents at
Bathurst, on the river Gambia, that the recent out-
break of cholera in that settlement was greatly in-
tensified by the incompetence of the English ad-
ministrator in charge—Admiral Patey. This officer
promised to take all proper precautions ; but his pre-
cautions, say the residents, were inadequate and bad.
When the pestilence was actually raging, it is true a
" temporary hospital," so called, was erected ; but it
was utterly insufficient for its purpose, and the
nursing and attendance were miserably inadequate.
The loss of life among the natives is reckoned
at one-third. Of the troops one man in ten
perished.

TOMEIGX NOTES.
THE CARLIST RISING IN SPAIN.

There is a lull for the present in the activity of the
Carlists in Spain. The Si3cle and other journals think
that the movement is a complete failure, and that the
defeat near Ciudad Real, added to the numerous die.
coveries of plots, dispose of the Carlist hopes. The
Const;tutionnet believes, on the other hand, that the rising
is well arranged, and that all the different ramifications
of the movement act in concert. The outbreaks hitherto
reported may be regarded, it says,
only as preliminaries
to a great and general coup. As the preliminaries have
all collapsed and failed utterly, it remains to be she vvn what
chance of success the final, grand, and concerted movement
can have.

There is no doubt that Don Carlos himself has entered
Spain. Under a false name he managed to elude all
observation, and, mingling with a band of tourists,
crossed the frontier at Arrena. The glad news of his
coming, says the illoniteur, was immediately communi-
cated to all the adherents who were distributed about the
wild and mountainous region which separates France from
Spain. The total number of this Carlist host is put
by the Paris journal at 12,000 ; though how such an army
manages to exist, and to elude the French police, we are
not told. Perhaps, some say, the French Government is
not so particularly friendly to Prim, Serrano, and Co.
as to feel very anxious touching an invasion of Spain
from French gronnd.
The 0141 says that this rising has been of a very serious
character, but it appears to be at au end, for Don Carlos
has fled back to France. This is fortunate for him, as
the Spanish Government had issued orders that, if cap-
tured, he should be at once tried by drumhead court-
martial and shot.

THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AT AMSTERDAM.
Working men ought not to forget that the International
Exhibition now open at Amsterdam is pre-eminently a
working-man's show. Nowhere could they spend a more
pleasant and profitable holiday. Excellent accommoda-
tion has been provided for the working men of all nations.
Two hundred can be housed at a time, and special restau-
rants have been established for them within the precincts
of the Exhibition, the lodging-houses themselves being just
outside the building: The accommodation is divided into
two classes, for which Gd. and 4d. a day respectively are
charged. Thisinclu3es a clean bed with ample bedding—
each room being double-bedded—gaslight, and any quantity
of water for Washing or drinking purposes. On these
terms the trip can be male very cheaply indeed. The
English committee, we understs.n I. are making special
arrangements for taking over artisans. •
