SPAIN.

Madrid journals and letters of the 4th have
reached us. The Monarquia having asserted that
the Queen Mother, impatient to embrace her august
daughter, had made up her mind to return to Spain,
the Fenix, which is believed to be the organ of
Queen Christina, says that there is not a word of
truth in the assertion. The .Espana says:—" It is
stated that New Ireland proposes to establish a
newspaper to defend its principles in each pro-
vincial capital." New Ireland is the nickname
given to the Ministerial party, on account of

OCEAN TELEGRAPH CABtES.—The main point
to be insisted on, we think, in the construction of a suitable
cable should be the coiling of the central or electric wires
round a stout cord, so as to allow of a little stretching with-
out the absolute fracture to which a straight wire is ever
liable on the least strain; and the completion of this core by
implanting it in the heart of a hempen rope, well woven
around it, and, it may be, saturated with some such sub-
stance as well-dried linseed oil, before the insulating cover-
ing of liquified material is laid on (perhaps through the aid
of vacuum power, to withdraw all air from the rope.) If,
finally, the whole could be enveloped in a further inter-
weavement othempen strands, well tarred or pitched (a fait
more preservative material is said to have been lately dis-
covered), the Sae plus ultra of an ocean telegraph cable could
thus, we think, be realised.-7'he Budder.

ADELAIDE ROOMS, STRAND.

Within the last few days another very attractive enter-
tainment has been added to those already delighting the
denizens of the metropolis. The latest is that now
given nightly by the " Ohio Minstrels." The troupe
consists of fifteen artistes, and the entertainment em-
braces the songs and sayings of the negro race, given
with a gusto quite invigorating. Last night we paid
the Ohio Minstrels a visit, and we confidently recommend
those who wish to pass a couple of hours pleasantly to
follow our example. The programme contained very many
beautiful melodies, but that which particularly pleased us
was " Hazel Dell" and " Willie we have missed you,"
sang by Mr. Longfield and chorus. Between the
parts into which the entertainment is divided, Mr.
Brandell gave some wonderful imitations .of the violin,
bagpipes and ether instruments we ever heard, on the
" Orchestrina," which elicited unanimous applause. In
the second part we had nearly all the most popular negro
songs of the day ; but those which seemed to please the
audience most were " Ohio Boatman,"," Kentucky Home"
(by Mr. Longfield), and a part song, entitled, "Banish,
Oh, Maiden !" by Messrs.!Delaware, Longfield, Brandon,
and Stuckey. All lovers of negro melodies cannot do better
than pay the Ohio Minstrels a visit, at their new home in
the Strand ; for assuredly they will bo delighted to the
utmost.

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT ASTLEY'S.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sln,—Xany exaggerated reports having appeared as to
the melancholy accident which occurred at the above
theatre, I am commissioned to inform you that, severe as it
was to Mr. William Cooke, jun., that gentleman has not
been under the painful necessity of having his limb ampu-
tated. The accident occurred at a rehearsal of the new
drama on Tuesday morning, by which the horse called
Tempest fell upon Mr. Cooke's leg and most severely in-
jured it—so much so that it is feared it will be many
months before the young gentleman will be sufficiently re-
covered to resume his professional duties. All that the
most skilful surgeons could do has been done. Many mem-
bers of Mr. Cooke's family reside at a distance, and a report
of this kind is calculated most needlessly to alarm them ;
may I beg the favour of your giving insertion to this, the
true statement of the case ?—I am, Sir, yours obediently,

COWES AND NEWPORT RAILWAY.—The plans for
this railway were deposited with the clerk of the
parish of Northwood on the 30th ult. The inhabi-
tants of Cowes are unanimous in favour of this line,
and as the owners of the land over which it is pro-
posed that the rail shall pass are all favourable to
the project, the bill is not likely to meet with any
opposition in its passage through Parliament.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise a full average supply of English wheat—over
2,200 quarters—has been received during the present week.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals were trifling, and the show
of samples of both red and white was only moderate. For
all kinds, however, wo experienced a dull inquiry, at about
Monday's decline in value.
Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to
hand. Millers purchased with extreme caution, and to
have forced sales lower rates must have been submitted to.
Owing to a largo influx from abroad, the barley trade
ruled somewhat heavy, but we have no change to notice in
prices.
Malt moved off steadily, at full quotations.
We were fairly supplied with oats, in which an average
business was transacted, at late rates.

Beans, peas, and flour were dull, bat not cheaper.

ADELAIDE ROOMS, STRAND.

Within the last few days another very attractive enter-
tainment has been added to those already delighting the
denizens of the metropolis. The latest is that now
given nightly by the " Ohio Minstrels." The troupe
consists of fifteen artistes, and the entertainment em-
braces the songs and sayings of the negro race, given
with a gusto quite invigorating- Last night we paid
the Ohio Minstrels a visit, and we confidently recommend
those who wish to pass a couple of hours pleasantly to
follow our example. The programme contained very many
beautiful melodies, but that which particularly pleased us
was " Hazel Dell" and " Willie we have missed you,"
sang by Mr. Longfield and . chorus. Between the
parts into which the entertainment is divided, Mr.
Brandell gave some wonderful imitations of the violin,
bagpipes and ether instruments we ever heard, on the
" Orchestriva," which elicited unanimous applause. In
the second part we had nearly all the most popular negro
songs of the day ; but those which seemed to please the
audience most were "Ohio Boatman,"" Kentucky Home"
(by Mr. Longfield), and a pact song, entitled, "Banish,
Oh, Maiden I" by Messrs.lDelaware, Longfield, Brandon,
and Stuckey. All lovers of negro melodies cannot do better
than pay the Ohio Minstrels a visit, at their new home in
the Strand ; for assuredly they will be delighted to the
utmost.

THE LATE ACCIDENT AT ASTLEFS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Many exaggerated reports having appeared as to
the melancholy accident which occurred at the above
theatre, I am commissioned to inform you that, severe as it
was.to Mr. William Cooke, jun., that gentleman has not
been under the painful necessity of having his limb ampu-
tated. The accident occurred at a rehearsal of the now
drama on Tuesday morning, by which the horse called
Tempest fell upon Mr. Cooke's leg and most severely in-
jured it—so much so that it is feared it will be many
months before the young gentleman will be sufficiently re-
covered to resume his professional duties. All that the
most skilful surgeons could do has been done. Many mem-
bers of Mr. Cooke's family reside at a distance, and a report
of this kind is calculated most needlessly to alarm them ;
may I beg the favour of your giving insertion to this, the
true statement of the case ?—I am, Sir, yours obediently,

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Dec. 2.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

RETURN OF THE COURT.—Her Majesty is ex-
pected at Osborne on Monday next. The sojourn
is not expected to extend beyond the 23d inst.
COWES AND NEWPORT RAILWAY.—The plans for
this railway were deposited with the clerk of the
parish of Northwood on the 30th ult. The inhabi-
tants of Cowes are unanimous in favour of this line,
and as the owners of the land over which it is pro-
posed that the rail shall pass are all favourable to
the project, the bill is not likely to meet with any
opposition in its passage through Parliament.

INMAN V. CLARE-JUDGMENT.

Two cargoes of cotton, consisting of• 414 and 453 bales,
per ships Sylph and Sultan, were consigned by plaintiff to
defendantc a' merchant in Liverpool, and advances made
upon them, and the question was, whether there was a
specifie appropriation of the cotton consigned for the ad-
vances made, or whether the consigliment was given in
security for future advances,
His Hon-our the Vice-Chancellor considered that there
was not only a particular lien upon cotton specifically con-
signed for advances made upon it, but also a general lien
upon a general consignment of cotton for advances made
during the time it remained in the hands of the consignee,
unsold, or if sold upon the price paid to the amount of such
advances, or if a deficiency, in proportion thereto.
His Honour declared accordingly, and directed account
sales (charge and discharge) to be taken, and the proceeds
of the sale to be applied in discharge of the bills due, or to
become due, in the bank at Liverpool, without costs of suit,
but with costs subsequent to this decree.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
innnmENT.—COOPEn V. HOOD.

This was a suit for specific performance of a contract for
the sale of a large iron manufacturing business at Leeds.
The parties in this suit are partners of a company carrying
on a very extensive business, there. Plaintiff succeeded to
one-third share of the company, and the defendant had
two-thirds. On the 18th May, 1857, defendant wrote a
letter to plaintiff proposiF to purchase his interest in the
copartnery, or to sell his own interest therein to the plain-
tiff Oa the terms proposed. The plaintiff 11014 asked specific
performance of this agreement.

His Honour,nn.considering the terms of the agreement,
came to therconclusion that the letter referred to was not a
contract of sale, but only a proposal to enter into a contract
to sell the defendant's interest, and that his Honour could
not decree specific performance of the agreement.

His Honour continued—Defendant, as manager and re-
ceiver of the company, directed a sale of the plant and busi-
ness of the company as a going business, and declared the
disolution of the copartnery to be from the date of filing
the bill, with liberty to apply.
His Honour dismissed the bill without costs.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise a full average supply of English wheat--over
2,200 quarters—has been received during the present week.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals were trifling, and the show
of samples of both red and white was only moderate. For
all kinds, however, we experienced a dull inquiry, at about
Monday's decline in value.
Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to
hand. Millers purchased with extreme caution, and to
have forced sales lower rates must have been submitted to.

Owing to a largo influx from abroad, the barley trade
ruled somewhat heavy, but we have no change to notice in
prices.
Malt moved off steadily, at full quotations.
We were fairly supplied with oats, in which an average
business was transacted, at late rates.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

at present residing at 3, Brunswick-terrace. The unfortu-

by the nurse, who, with other assistance, succeeded with
difficulty in extinguishing the flames, but not until Miss
Plunkett was dreadfully burnt. Mr. E. J Furner, the
Family surgeon, has been unremitting in his attention, but
from inquiries made on Tuesday we are sorry to cdd that
the patient is in a most precarious state, and that but faint

A Turin letter says:—" The warlike dicourse of
King Victor Emmanuel to his troops, is reduced to
a few simple words which he spoke to Colonel
Rolland, after having reviewed the brigade of
Savoy, which loudly cheered his Majesty :—' The
bearing of these troops pleaseime exceedingly—it
is truly warlike. This is a great satisfaction to me,
for if in the spring, or at any other time, we
had to take the field, I may rely on the excellent
feeling of the army.' "

"The fortifications of Alessandria, Cassale, Genoa,
and La Spezia are being actively pushed on. The
fortifications of Alessandria are to receive 300
guns, already cast and placed on their carriages,

CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY.

Mr. Wilmot Seaton, of the Treasury, who, with
Master Litton and Mr. Darley, Q.C., was chosen
recently to inquire into the working of the Court of
Chancery, has, at the desire of the Lord Lieutenant,
just completed an investigation of the duties and
salaries of the clerks connected with the Dublin
police offices. Mr. Seaton has taken information
with a view to ascertain whether changes, if any
would tend to the more efficient working of these
establishments, and whetherthe complaints respect-
ing the present salaries are well founded.
