The Madrid journals of the 14th have reached
us. The Gazette publishes telegrams from Lugo,
stating that their Majesties and the Royal family
arrived there on the preceding day in perfect
health, and were received with acclamations ; their
Majesties spent the day at Lugo, received the
authorities, heard. . mass in the cathedral, visited
the hospital and nunnery, and presented their
children to the people, the most enthusiastic ac-
clamations being raised at the sight of the Prince
and Princess, The Gazette contains a Royal
decree by which some unimportant modifica-
tions are made in the laws of public instruc-
tion. Hopes were entertained that the cabinet,
in the bill on the preis which it is preparing, will
propose the abolition of the censorship. Some of
the journals again demand a reduction of the im-
port duties on foreign paper. A ministerial organ
says :—" A rather unusual number of journals have
been seized during the last few days, but that is
on acconnt of cynical remarks having been made
by them on subjects that are not within the proper
domain of the press. No newspaper needs fear
seizure, if it keep within the limits that alone can
make a press a legitimate organ of public opinion."
A pardon had been granted to M. Juanco, respon-
sible editor of the Epoca, who was lately condemned
to several months' imprisonment for insulting M.
Collantes, an ex-Minister. The police had dis-
covered a clandestine gunpowder manufactory at
Alcazor de San Juan. The Queen had made a
valuable present to Mlle. Valeria de Paniega, who
is about to marry the Duke de Malakoff. A letter
from Santander mentions the arrival of Baron Hub-
ner, Austrian Ambassador to the French Court, and
states that he intends visiting the Asturias and the
provinces of Leon and Old Castille.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL,Sm. 18.

The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Captain Lang,
has arrived with the New York mails of the 7th,
Boston of the Bth, and advices from the former port
via Halifax to the 9th. She has brought 101,250
dollars in specie on freight.
The Canada passed the Asia on the 9th, and on
the 11th the ships Oceana and Bothnia.
The Fulton had reached New York, after landing
advices at Cape Race.
The Pacific, from Galway, reached Halifax on
the night of the 4th.
The destruction of the Quarantine buildings at
Staten Island and the brutal treatment of the sick
had elicited a very strong proclamation from the
Governor of New York State. At the conclusion
of it he says :
" And I declare that by reason of the acts and
proceedings herein referred to, and the refusal of
the Sheriff of the county •of Richmond (although
repeatedly notified that threats had been made to
destroy the public property at the Quarantine) to
take any steps to prevent the consummation of
those threats, and the absolute necessity for an
adequate force to protect the buildings to be
erected for the sick on the very site where they
stood, until provision shall be made by law for the
removal to some other place, and to release the
police force withdrawn from the general service of
the cities of New York and Brooklyn, and now
stationed at Quarantine, that the county of Rich-
mond is in a state of insurrection, and in order to
assist in preserving and to protect the property of
the State, and the lives of the sick that a military
force of silfficient strength shall be detailed and
stationed at the Quarantine till the returning sense
of the people of Richmond county to their duties
and obligations as useful citizens shall render its
presence unnecessary, or until the Legislature shall
otherwise direct."
Large sheds were being erected for the temporary,
lodgment of the invalids. They had suffered
most severely. A newspaper, referring to their
treatment, says :
" We think a good deal more of Nana Sahib now
than we used to do. His atrocities at Cawnpore
were horrid enough, but were they more horrid
than the conduct of certain individuals on Staten
Island towards the sick during the hospital burn-
ing there on Thursday night last ? According to
the (official) report of Dr. Bissel, the treatment of
the yellow fever and smallpox patients was of the
most barbarous description. Indeed (we quote the
Doctor), during the whole time they were half
suffocated and roasted, and the nurses and others
had to throw water over them every three minutes,
to keep them from burning to death !' If this be
true, then, in the name of humanity, let us try
and christianise Tomkinsvill, before trying to
redeem the barbarians of Caffraria, Polynesia, or
Japan. But is it true ? Can it be true ?"
A number of persons -occupying.high positions
have b'een arrested. The frigate Sabine had been
anchored near the shipping. at Quarantine, by order
of the Commodore at the Navy Yard, to afford any
protection which might be required. It is stated
that 500 of the National Guard had been ordered
to the scene of riot.
It is reported that the captured Africans were to
be landed on the coast of Liberia, under the charge
of a special agent, and kept and supported there by
the United States Government until they could be
otherwise provided for. The American Colonisa-
tion Society had proposed to the Government to
take care of the Africans on their arrival at Liberia,
and maintain them one year for 50,000 dollars, and
in the meantime send them to school, and teach
them how, by industrial pursuits, to support them-
selves after the expiration of that period.
A number of persons had waited upon Colonel
Carew, the Sheriff of Charleston district, and laid
before him formal information of the fact that a
large number of free persons of colour had been
brought into the harbour of Charleston, in the
Echo, contrary to the Act of Assembly, passed in
November, 1835. Acting on this information, the
negroesNwc Therebr
Sheriff addressed notes to Hon. J. W. Haynes,
Attorney-General of the State, and Messrs. Whaley
and Lord, his legal advisers. The latter argued
that in States where negro slavery. exists to them
must be left the manner in which free negroes
entering therein are to be dealt with, and there-
fore advised the Sheriff of Charleston district to
take into custody the Echo's negroes. James
Conner, the United States' District Attorney, in-
structed the United States' Marshal to retain the
