SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have reached
us. A Royal order in the Gazette directs that the
Cuban customhouse authorities shall admit, duty
free, the cotton seed which the English Government
has remitted to her Britannic Majesty's consul-
general for the purpose of trying the cultivation
of the cotton plant in the Island of Cuba. The
authorities are directsd to watch the trial and
to report fully thereon to the Home Government.
The Gazette also contains a Royal order ad-
dressed to the Superintendent of Finance of the
Isle of Cuba, informing him that the practice o f
permitting foreign consuls to import, duty free, the
stationery and other necessaries for their offices is
contrary to law, and is in future to be discontinued.
In the Gazette likewise appears a decree by which
five of the principal judges of Cuba are summarily
dismissed from their places without the usual
formula of " being satisfied with their zeal,
loyalty, and intelligence." These gentlemen, whose
names are Buena, de la Escosura, Portillo, Valero
y Soto, and Franchum, are said to have com-
mitted serious irregularities in the administration
of justice—in plain English, accepted bribes.
Another royal order directs that the Spanish con-
suls in Foreign countries shall take care that the
captains of merchant vessels bound to the Spanish
colonies shall note down upon their manifests the
approximative value of the cargoes of their vessels.
The semi-official Correspondaneia Autografa says
that it is not true, as asserted by one of the journals,
that the Government intends refusing the Duke de
Valencia (Narvaez) permission to return to Madrid.

GENTLEMEN'S SCULLERS' RACE

A scullers' race, which had created some speculation
amongst the members of the Great London Rowing Club,
came off on Thursday evening. The competitors were Mr.
Burgess, the late winner of the club scullers' prize, and
Mr. Stahlschmidt, a very promising gentleman amateur,
of the same -club. The distance was from Putney to
Hammersmith-bridge, with tide, and the race, which was
a private one, was for a silver cup. Mr. Stahlschmidt be-
coming entitled to the choice of station took the north
side. They both started at the same moment, and were
tolerably level for a few strokes, when Mr. Burgess took a
lead which, despite the exertions of the other, he never
forfeited. It was a smart race for some distance, but
ultimately Mr. Burgess won easily.

NAPLES.

Letters from Naples of the 22d ult. make no men-
of the rumours stated by one of the Paris journals,
the Presse, to have been current, of the discovery
of a new conspiracy against the King. The same
letters state that the marriage of the Duke of Cala-
bria, Hereditary Prince, with the Princess of Bava-
ria is to be officially announced on the 3th October,
and is to be celebrated on the 12th January, the
King's fete. A Neapolitan squadron is to go to
Trieste to bring the Princess to Naples, and prepa-
rations are being made in the royal palace at Naples
for the residence of the young couple. The Minister
of Russia at Naples had returned to that city, after
being absent on leave.

The Nord of Brussels denies the authenticity of
the despatch from Naples which was lately pub-
lished in the English journals. It says :

Everything proves that the document has been
drawn up by some clever person who, being ac-
quainted with the well-known character and. dis-
positions of King Ferdinand, has ascribed to him
language which may express the real sentiments of
his Majesty, but which certainly would never have
been used in a diplomatic document. Moreover,
we believe there exists a circular despatch sent
to all the Neapolitan legations, dated the Ist
of July, in which Commander Carafa declares that
'the Government of the Two Sicilies did not send
away the Ministers of France and England, but
that it was those countries which recalled their
representatives, and obliged the ambassadors of the
Two Sicilies at Paris and London to leave, by
sending them their passports." The King's go-
vernment having,' the despatch continues, scru-
pulously respected the treaties which bind it to
other States, is not called on to take any steps ;
but when the two great Western Powers shall send
their representatives to Naples, the King will re-
ceive them with pleasure, and even with kindness,
and will immediately order his representatives at
the two Courts to return to Paris and London.'"

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A WIFE'S WnoNos.—Robert Palmer, of It, Castle-
street, Leicester-square, an undertaker's assistant, was
charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting his wife, Aim
Palmer.

The wife, a respectable-looking female, said she had been
married to the prisoner sight years, having six children.
About one this morning her husband came home, having
been drinking, and desired her, to get up, she being in bed
at the time. He then said she should not sleep in the same_
bed again with him, and something further which she did
not understand. She made him no answer, never doing so
when he was in liquor. He then commenced striking
_her
—the blows being chiefly about the eyes, and the wound
on her temple being caused by one of them. He then got
into bed, and asked her why she went to see a friend on the
Tuesday, to which she replied that she did not see any
harm in so doing, upon which he jumped out of bed and
againrenewed his brutality towards her, knocking her down
and causing her to fall on a bedstead on which were lying
some of her children, and while in that position kicked her
on the back. About a fortnight previous he had struck her
violently with a stick, causing a long black bruise. He had
frequently assaulted her, but she had not complained before
a magistrate.
In defence, the prisoner said he had lived a very unhappy

life ever since he had been married to her; she Nras a liar,
went to a place where he did not wish her to go, and she
had also robbed him. ,

The wife denied this. She had certainly taken a few
things from the place for her use after he struck her with
the stick as he had done.

Mr. Bingham said he could not understand why a man
who lived, as he stated, so unhappily with his wife, did not
take the obvious course of effecting an amicable separation.
The only way to bring such a brutal fellow as he seemed
to reason would be by giving him a good sound thrashing,
and it was a pity there was not some strong amazon who
would do such a thing. Because he considered his wifo
had robbed him, which she had satisfactorily explained, he
had no right to try to dcztroy the life of one who was con-
fided to his care. The best punishment he could give such
a monstrous brutal fellow vas it commit him for 4 months
with hard labour.

Saunders of this day says that Mr. Coppinger,
Q.C., will be promoted to the chairmanship of the

Q.C., will get the chairmanship of Kildare. Mr.
Coppinger is a Roman Catholic.

IRISH HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

In consequence of petitions to Parliament from
the municipal body and harbour Commissioners of
Drogheda, for the construction of a safety harbour
at Skerries, in the county of Dublin,
.the Royal
Commissioners, now on their tour of examination,
closely inspected and took soundings in the Bay
of Skerries. The Dublin Chamber of Commerce
have expressed a decidedly favourable opinion with
regard to the conversion of Skerries into an
asylum harbour, and strong representations have
been made to the Government to assist in diminish-
ing the marine disasters so frequent along the
neighbouring coast. It was in this danovrous
locality that the Tayleur was lost, with 290 souls,
in the month of January, 1854. The competing
localities on the northern coast are Carlingford,
Skerries, Portruth, and Clogher Head, but the
latter is believed to be out of the race. On the
southern coast the choice, it is surmised, will lie be-
tween Waterford and Wexford, on the southeast.

PROGRESS OF THE BIRKENIIEAD DOCKS.--The
Mersey Dock Board, at the meeting yesterday, accepted the
tender of Mr. W. McCormick for the excavation of the low-
water basin, at Birkenhead, the enlargement of the Morpeth
Dock, and other kindred works, including the filling-in and
formation of a quantity of land, which is to form wharves,
quays, yards, streets, &c.
HEAVY BAIL.—In the case of Charles William
Smith, who was charged at the Marlborough-street Police
Court, yesterday afternoon, with committing an indecent
assault on a young gentleman named Marks, and for whose
re-appearance Mr. Bingham at the time refused bail, subse-
quently accepted bail, the amount being fixed at £2,000,
namely, two sureties of £5OO each, and the accused himself
in the mu of £l,OOO, to appear at the sessions.

The market to-day had merely a slender attendance of

Irish new oats, oatmeal, Indian corn, and Egyptian beans,
each gave way a trifle in value, under a limited demand.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have reached
us. A Royal order in the Gazette directs that the
Cuban customhouse authorities shall admit, duty
free, the cotton seed which the English Government
has remitted to her Britannic Majesty's consul-
general for the purpose of trying the cultivation
of the cotton plant in the Island of Cuba. The
authorities are directed to watch the trial and
to report fully thereon to the Home Government.
The Gazette also contains a Royal order ad-
dressed to the Superintendent of Finance of the
Isle of Cuba, informing him that the practice o f
permitting foreign consuls to import, duty free, the
stationery and other necessaries for their offices is
contrary to law, and is in future to be discontinued.
In the Gazette likewise appears a decree by which.
five of the principal judges of Cuba are summarily
dismissed from their places without the usual
formula of " being satisfied with their zeal,
loyalty, and intelligence." These gentlemen, whose
names are Buelta, de la Escosura, Portillo, Valero
y Soto, and Franchum, are said to have com-
mitted serious irregularities in the administration
of justice—in plain English, accepted bribes.
Another royal order directs that the Spanish con-
suls in Foreign countries shall take care that the
captains of merchant vessels bound to the Spanish
colonies shall note down upon their manifests the
approximative value of the cargoes of their vessels.
The semi-official Correspondancia Autografa says
that it is not true, as asserted by one of the journals,
that the Government intends refusing the Duke de
Valencia (Narvaez) permission to return to Madrid.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD,

" Dr. l'ickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical lii-erature. This
Is the first time, lie informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady-by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long upon the, contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE ARMY.

The following medical officers, stationed at Fort
Pitt, Chatham, have received orders to embark for
Calcutta—viz. ,—Staff Assistant-Surgeon G. Martin,
Staff Assistant-Surgeon J. W. Longhead, Staff

geon J. Aessior, Staff Assistant-Surgeon E. Wilks,
and Staff Assistant-Surgeon P. E. Gascoyne.
General improvements are to be effected at St.
Mary's Barracks, Chatham, in order to promote the
comfort of the invalid troops by whom those bar-
racks are almost exclusively occupied. At present
the sick and infirm soldiers, on arriving from India
or Africa, many of them in the last stage of sickness,
and all with debilitated and shattered constitutions,
are sent to St. Mary's Casemate Barracks, where
they remain until they are discharged from the
service. The Parliamentary Commissioners for
inquiring into the state of barracks and hospitals, on
their recent visit-to Chatham, made a minute in-
spection of St. Mary's Barracks, when several
obvious improvements were recommended by them,
most of which now are being carried into effect.
The cold damp stone floors are in course of removal,
and boarding will be laid down in all the rooms, or
rather arches which compose the barrack " rooms."
An excellent system of ventilation is also being
applied, which it is expected will much improve
the health of the troops.

General of Hospitals, died at Simla on on the .sth
