SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 23d, due this
morning, have not arrived, but those of the
evening of the 22d have reached us. These
journals publish new denunciations of the at-
tempted assassination of the Emperor of the French,
and insist that any country whose right of asylum
has been abused by refugees ought to expel them.
In the afternoons of the 22d the Congress was oc-
cupied with a bill relative to the railway from Bar-
celona to Tarragona ; and in the Senate the arch-
bishops of Tarragona, Burgos, and Valladolid had
been authorised to sit as senators ex officio. At
Valencia the authorities had discovered a manu-
factory of forged receipts for the sums to be
received from the levy by anticipation of taxes to
the amount of 230,000,000 reals, and had seized
forged receipts for 1,500,000 reals. The Espana
says that the forgeries were made by the republican
party, and that the proceeds were destined to pay
the expenses of a republican outbreak. It does
not announce that any persons were arrested, but
states that the Government will be able to trace all
the ratnific Aions of the conspiracy. The forged
papers are represented to be admirably executed.

The complainant stated that the prisoner came into the
house and called for a pot of porter for which he tendered
twopence. Perceiving that he was drunk, he re-
fused to supply hint with any drink whatever, and
requested him to leave. Upon this, the prisoner took
up again the twopenny pieces and, deliberately taking
aitn, threw them one after the other at complainant's
head. The first cut his head open, but the second be
proved most serious, from the force and malignityfortunately escaped, or the consequence might have
with
which it appeared to have been thrown.
Complainant
now thought it high time to request that a policeman
might be sent for, which was done, and prisoner given
into custody.
The prisoner, who said he was sorry, was iced 31., or

honorary, as they all knew, but which were more
laborious than the majority of the members were
aware of.
Mr, GRAY returned thanks for the warm reception
the company had given to his name and services, which
he felt was sufficient testimony to the good intentions he
entertained towari:e the prosperity of the society; but
whether these endeavours were attained or not, he mast
leave entirely to the judgment of the members.
After a few other appropriate toasts, arrangements
were made to conclude the evening with a dance, the
announcement of which was received with cheers, and •
very few minutes served to have the proposition put in
force. Thus the hilarity was agreeably diversified, and
strathspeys and reels were danced to the excellent bag'
Pipe music of Mr. M'Lennan.
The dinner and wines were of the best description 0
and the toasts were delivered by Mr. Higgs in his usual
effective style.

to Lancashire by the Board of Trade for the purpose el
making a series of experiments, testing the comparative
merits of the railway breaks invented by Mr. Newell, of
the East Lancashire Company, and by Mr. Fay, of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire line. These are two of the
most powerful and efficient breaks that have yet bees
invented, giving a perfect communication between the
engine-driver and guards, and locking up the wheels of
every carriage instantly, so as to bring the whole train is
a stand in a very short space of time. It is understood
that the railway companies are giving every facility foe

We take the following summary of China news
from the Overland China Mail of the 16th of
December :
Our readers out of China will doubtless be anxi-
ously looking for news by this mail of the bombard-
ment and capture of Canton, and, if so, they are
doomed to disappointment, for though the prepara-
tions are well nigh or altogether completed, (nothing
has yet been done beyond the drawing the blockade
closer round Canton), in which proceeding, as will
be seen from the following official notice, taken
from the Gazette, the French squadron is now
taking part :

THE CABINET TEEATBS.

We might have gone further and fared worse ! This
observation applies to an expedition on Friday evening
to the neighbourhood of King's-cross, not to book our-
selves by the Great Northern Railway, but to cccapy a
booked stall, at the Cabinet Theatre, Liverpool-street,
in that vicinage, where a choice selection of literary
gentlemen, associated with the proper amount and
quality of ladies, had assembled, in a praiseworthy
attempt, to act, ea amateur, Shakespeare's play
of " The Merchant of Venice." It has always
been deemed possible to summons spirits from the
vasty deep, the query has been in reference to their
attending the call. Actors have recently been sum-
moned from the dietant suburbs of Pentonville,
and by the Wednesday's account in the public
journals they did come. Some persons, from tie
tact of being unknown, rejoice in a mysterious kind
of celebrity ; there is now, however, no mystery upon
this subject. Well, we went to the Cabinet, and
we were at lea-it most agreeably surprised to assi,t
at a reading of the Bard of Avon's Play, replete
with intelligence. The amateurs were all gen-
tlemen, and spoke their lines well. Mr. C. A. Lewis,
the " Shylock" of the evening, particularly dist►nguished
ai•nself—no small praise, as we were given to understand
he had only once before faced an audience. Messrs. Macklin
and Maldon, played Antonio and Bassani° with much
acc•tptance, Mr. Rivers, Gratiano, a soupcon, too
sepulchrally, and Mr. E Twin, Launcelot Gubbo, very
funnily. An original (no small praise in these trans-
lating days !) farce, from the pen of Mr. C. A. Lewis,
followed, in which he himself played the hero, a fast
young swell, with debts illimitable, and income the
reverse. ludeed, his only blessing was described to be
a handsome wife—Miss Clara Elliott (a pupil of Mr.
Searle and " the Portia" of the play !) enacted, with
much intelligence, the delicious "cars spose in ques-
tion ! This clever little sketch was entitled " Mae
querader.o," and it would be certain of a successful run
at any of our west-end theatres.

LONDON„ THURSDAY, JAN. 28, 1858

Although the overland mail from India—
copious extracts from which appeared in our im-
pression of yesterday-.--contains few facts of im-
portance that had not previously been communi-
cated by:telegrams, the details are of peculiar iut_s
rest, enabling us to form more correct opinions
respecting our position and prospects. We now
can understand the full extent of the danger in
which the garrison of Cawnpore had been involved
through the double mistake of General WINDIIAM.
We say double mistake, because, in the first in-
stance, a very serious error was committed in
exposing himself—probably through excessive
confidence—to the danger of surprise by selecting
a bad position, without taking the necessary pre-
cautions to guard against any unexpected attack ;
and, secondly, in neglecting to support the
gallant WrLsozi- and his devoted followers
when they hack achieved an almost miraculous
success na4ylst overwhelming odds. In vain,
however, was their superhuman prowess and
desperate and unlinching courage. In vain was
their triumph OTer ten times their numbers.
The rebels received ample reinforcements, but no
assistance came to these dauntless heroes, of
whom but a mere handful escaped. All honour
to those who perished in the discharge of a duty
so glorious, although so fatal,

Our admiration is increased for the Gallant
General, who, unfairly passed over in the Crimea,
still fought in a subordinate position whea another
would have sent in his resignation in disgust.
Sir COLIN CAXPILLL has nobly confuted those
who spoke of him as a mere General of division,
an admirable second, but without the qualifica-
tions of a supreme command. What will these
detractors now say, or how far will they laud
the Guardsmen, whose chief exploits have been
" capering nimbly in a lady's chamber ?"
Sir c•Lne, brilliant generalship, his economy of
his soldiers' lives, his tender care for the women
and children, will occupy an enduring page iu the
national records. He saved Cawnpore as surely
as he rescued Lucknow. Under leas able guidance
the women and children would have perished in
the hour of fancied security. He Lad the for-
keirsili. to restrain his followers until the safety
of his helpless charge was fully ensured. Thor,
indeed, he fell on the foe with desperate and
d
irresistible 'impetuosity, aid speedily sati,,fie
which they had

DECISION OF A SCOTCH SALMON

FISHING CASE.

A case which has excited great interest among
Scottish fishermen was decided on Wednesday. The
proprietors of fisheries in the river Allan and its
branches instructed their clerk, Mr. Galbraith, to
prosecute one Shaw, a labourer, for having, " near
the cathedral of Dunblane, and county of Perth,
or there, wilfully had in his possession, on Thurs-
day, the Ist of October inst., 1857, certain smelts
or fry of salmon, or other fish of the same kind."
Shaw was defended by J. M‘Lean, Esq., writer,
pDott:ebc,laainoeii,
woad out ray otrilnithioeur
oru foundoer
fishin his
o f
ti ..hlion. A great maul vt
as to whether the fish in question were the fry of
salmon. Seven witnesses spoke from experience
to the fact that parr, in their opinion, are not
salmon. Dr. Johnstone, deputy-inspector of hospi-
tals, gave, along with Dr. Paterson, of Bridge of
Allan, anatomical evidence to the effect that the
jspinal column of the grilse had 56 vertebrae, whilst
that of the parr had 59. The bones of both
were fully developed. On cross-examination, Dr.
Johnstone confessed his ignorance of fish in general,
and could tell a cod from a salmon after they came
to table, but nothing more. Sheriff Graham '
decided that the fish were not salmon, and that the
complainant should pay the costs.
" Soou after the result was known," says the
Stirling Joicrnal, "great excitement took place in
the village. A band of music made its appearance,
preceded by a large crowd, some of them bearing
flags, one of them with the inscription ' Let Liberty
flourish ;' while others bore fishing rods with parr
dangling at the end. Joy seemed to beam on
every face, and as the carriage containing Mr.
Galbraith drove through the town towards
Stirling, it was assailed with fierce shouting and
yells, accompanied in some cases by blows
which nearly smashed the windows. Altogether the
excitement was intense, and such as we have sel-
dom witnessed in Dunblane. The decision has the
effect of allowing anyone who likes to fish for parr
in the Allan and other rivers ; and as this is the
first decision in reference to parr, we have no doubt
it will rejoice the hearts of anglers in all parts of the
country. At the conclusion Mr. Galbraith took
steps to facilitate the bringing the case before the
Lords of Justiciary should he think fit to do so."
