SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 15th publish the list
of the new ministry, already known by telegraph.
M. Isturitz, the new President of the Council, has
always belonged to the most liberal section of the
Conservative party, and in 1844 he was in the
Cabinet with M. Pidal, Cleneral Ammer°, and M.
Mon, which was also defeated in the election of
President of the Congress. According to the
Iberia, his now administration can do little more
than dissolve the Cortes, so as to facilitate the
accession to power of M. Bravo Murillo, who, it
alleges, is the real " master of the situation." The
_Espana declares that the new cabinet, under
existing circumstances, is calculated to satisfy the
Conservative party, each of its members being
noted for the fixity of his Conservative opinions.
The same journal says that it had been determined
not to publish in the Gazette the royal decrees ac-
cepting the resignations of the old and appointing
the new ministers, till they should be communi-
cated to the Cortes. The Marquis de Tiluma and
the Marquis de Miraflores were spoken of as likely
to succeed M. Isturitz in the presidency of the

that the arrests which had been effected, and which
were of men noted for violent democratic opinions,
took place in consequence of the seizure of letters
from Valencia announcing that some desperate
persons were about to assemble in Madrid in order,
in conjunction with the demagogues there, to create
disturbances. The Duke de Valencia (Narvaez) was
confined to his bed from influenza, and had been
even rather seriously ill, but he was getting better.
The Duke de laVictoria (Espartero) was recovering.

PORTUGAL.
The Medway steamer, arrived at Southampton,
brings us the following latter from our Lisbon cor-
respondent :

" LISBON, JAN. 15.
" The contract for the marriage of his Majesty Don
Pedro V. with the Princess Stephanie of Hohenzollern
was approved yesterday in a secret session of the House
of Deputiep.
" A secret session has also been held respecting the
accusation made against the Minister of Justice in regard
to the recent nomination of judges, which was renewed

brought to its knowledge, does not find the Government
explanations satisfactory, and considers that energetic
and decisive measures of reform are of urgent necessity
in the administration of justice.'
"This motion was again under discussion yesterday,
and will be continued to-day, when a modified motion of
censure will be proposed, and the Ministerial difficulty
will probably be patched up for a time. It has, however,

" The Cabinet is also threatened with other difficulties
in the Upper House, where it appears the committee's
project of rep'y to the King's Speech will be discussed
to-day, and opposed in some Paragraphs which are held
to compromise the house to an approval of recent acts of
adminiArs.tiou. In the Lower House, the answer to
the Throne being a mere echo of the Kink's speech, was
for the first time voted unanimously without any debate,
and it woul 1 have been well had the committee in the
Peers proposed one of the same nature.
"A hull-fight for the benefit of the families who suffered
from the fever took place here recently, and has been
much in consequence of having had the unusualpatro criticised,nageofo English gentlemen who figured as its
chief promoters. It was not countenanced by the em-

naturally anxious to avoid being identified with so objec-
tit nable a mode of promoting a charitable obj .tct."

Accounts from Constantinople state that the
new Ministtr of Police Mehemed Pasha , has de-
finitively re-organised the police of that capital on
the French system. The city has been divided into
four quarters, which will Le guarded by 700
policemen ; patrols will, moreover, scour the streets
every night. These measures had given general
satisfaction to the population, and it is hoped that
they will put a term to the crimes which have for
so long a time been prevalent in the Turkish
capital.

The health of the King of Wurtemberg, we are
happy to learn, begins to be re-established. The
state of the Grand Duke Louis of Baden also no
longer inspires any uneasiness.
