THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN.
MADRID, JAN. 10 (Evening).

On receiving a deputation from the Chamber of
Deputies to present an address, the Queen replied
that, in spite of the affliction she experienced in
viewing the sad sight of a rebellion among a portion
of the army, it was for her a great consolation to
see the representatives of the nation offering her
their support and the testimony of their unanimous
loyalty.
The latest official despatches announce that
General Prim's carriage and baggage had fallen
into the hands of the Royal troops. He is still
stated to be in the mountains of Toledo, manoeuvring
to reach the Portuguese frontier. Columns have ;
been sent to cut off his retreat by way of Extre-
madura.

The rumour current here that General Concha
was wounded is officially denied. After arriving at
Madrid he had an interview with Marshal
O'Donnell.

At eleven last night an alarm, which lasted a
short time, was given, but quiet is now completely
re-established. Some anxiety continues to prevail.

The authorities of Saragossa and Barcelona tele-
graphed to the Government on the 10th that
perfect order reigned.

PARIS, JAN. 12.

The Moniteur, in its bulletin of to-day, says :
" The state of affairs in Spain seems to be un-

changed.

" A proclamation has been promulgated at
Madrid declaring that groups shouting seditious
cries will be dispersed by military force.
" The provinces are tranquil, with the exception
of Catalonia and Aragon, where a certain uneasi-
ness prevails."

ROME.
SHIPPING DISASTERS AT CIVITA
VECCHIA..

ROME, JAN. 11.
The tempestuous weather yesterday caused seve-
ral accidents in the port of Civita Vecchia.
The corvette Conception was driven against the
French steamer Aunis.
Many fishing vessels have been lost.

THE GREAT SNOW STORff.

LATEST PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY.)
The most deplorable accounts were received this
morning from all parts of the metropolis and
suburbs of the devastating effects of the extraordi-
nary snow storm of yesterday. The damage done
to chimneys, roofs of houses, and gardens in every
part of the metropolis, with few exceptions, and the
damage done in the suburban districts, is at present
incalcuable. Many accidents have been this
morning returned, some of a serious character
although not fatal.

Great Fire near Kilburn. —(This Day.)

This morning (Friday), shortly before 5 o'clock,
a fire was discovered in the newly-erected premises
at the corner of Bolton and Albert-roads, near Kil-
burn. In spite of every endeavour on the part of

fore 10 o'clock. The fire is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary.

XONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL 14 TELLIGEN

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The position of monetary affairs exhibits little
Alteration. There continues to be an abundant sup-
ply of capital on offer, and a keen competition is
exerted in the open market, where the brokers have
in exceptional instances taken the best short dated
bills at 71 and 7f per cent.
The Bank of England return contains some im-
portant and not altogether satisfactory features, as

The return issued by the Bank of France shows
no very encouraging features. The bullion has
been further decreased £BOO,OOO, while the notes
ju circulation have received an addition of
1250,000. The commercial bills discounted have
been augmented £680,000, and the current ac-
counts £205,000.
The directors of the Warrant Finance Company
(Limited) have resolved to recommend a dividend
of 10e. per share for the first half-year, being, with
the ad interim dividend of ss. already paid, 7+ per
cent, per annum, and leaving £9,496 12s. 10d. to
be carried forward.
There has been very little activity exhibited in
the markets for foreign and colonial produce during
the last few days, and yesterday, owing to the
hcavY snow storm, operatiOns were partially sus-
pended, consequent upon the stoppage of telegraphic
cerainunication with most parts of the country.

THE LATE JOSEPH LO C E. --A statue to the
memory of Joseph Locke, the eminent engineer, has
for some time past been on its pedestal in the Locke-park,
Barnsley, awaiting the ceremony of unveiling. The day
for that purpose is now officially fixed for the 18th inst.,
and Lord A. Paget has undertaken the task. At a meet-
ing of the Barnsley Local Board of Health, on Tuesday, it
was recommended that the entire battalion of the rifle corps
should be present, and that all public bodies and societies
in the town should be invited to take part in the proceed-
ings, which was agreed to. It was further suggested that
a public dinner should take place after the ceremony, at
which Mr. W. S. Stanhope should be asked to preside, and
Mr. E. Taylor to take the vice-chair. This suggestion was
also agreed to. A local holiday will mark the interesting
event.—Sherborne Journal.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.

THE THAMES ROWING CLUB ATHLETIC
SPORTS.

The above club held their annual athletic meeting at
the Prince of Wales Ground, Bow, on Saturday last, and
although not quite so successful as some other societies of
late, still it was another instance of the growing popula-
rity of those sports. The following is a brief return :
THE RACE OF 100 YARDS.— The competitors were divided
into two heats, and resulted as under :

First Heat. - J. Foster came in first by a yard and a half ;
H. Harvey was second, G. Wright was third.

Second Heat.—Although there were only three starters,
it was a clipping race from end to end, the result being
that W. Swale and E. A. King ran shoulder to shoulder
all the way, and the referee being unable to separate them
decided that it was a dead heat, so it was arranged the two
should both run in the final heat. J. Harvey was placed
as third.

Final Heat.—Another exciting contest ended in J. Fos-
ter coming in first by a short yard befor E. A. King, who
vas second, and Smalo was third.

TIIE RACE OF A QUARTER OF A MILE —J. K. Pauline
won very easily all the way : W. Page was second, and R.
Harvey was beaten off a long way.
THE HALF-MILE HANDICAP.—J. K. Pauline, who went
from scratch, came in first ; W. Page, 10 yards start, was
second ; and J. Hopkins, 25 yards, was third. Hopkins
kept his lead until 160 yards of home, when Pauline, who
had previously passed Page, came with a fine spurt, and
won a good race by about yards.

A SCRATCH RACE OF 150 YARDS.—The entries, made
upon the ground, were open to all comers, with the excep-
tion of members of the club. The prize was a cup. They
were divided into two heats, the first and second in each
to run in the final.,

First Heat.—W. A. Simpson (W.L.R.C.) won by
three yards, and A. King (L.R.C.) was second. Four
others started.

Second IL:lat.—a Popo (Civil Service) won a fine race
by a yard, and W. 11. Luther was second, before four
others who also went. Three of the above four named
next came to run for the

Final Heat.—Pope did not put in an appearance ; W.
A. Simpson won by a couple of yards, A. King was se-
cond, and W. IL Luther was third. It was a' good race
between the last two for the barren honours of second
place, a short yard only separating them. Mr. Talbot was
the starter.
London, England, 1866-03-20

MEDICAL PAY.

Colonel NORTH asked whether it was the intention of
the Government ito carry out the recommendations as re-
garded increased pay, &c., of the committee which was
appointed to inquire into and report upon tho grievances
of medical officars of the army and navy?
The Marquis of lIARTINGTON said the report had
only been received but a very short time, and it was at
that moment quite impossible for them to say how far the
recommendation of the committee went with respect to
the army and the navy.
ILLEGAL DRILLING.

Mr. O'REILLY called the Attorney-General for Ire-
land's attention to a statement reported to have been made
by a Mr. W. S. Gwynn, at a meeting of members of the
Established Church held at Antrim on the 12th, " that one
of the principal landlords in that part of the country had
embodied a large number of his own tenantry, whom he
had supplied with arms, and employed drill sergeants to
instruct those tenants."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said the
attention of the Government had been called to the matter
in respect to the person referred to and the statements
contained therein. Those with respect to the lord lieute-
nant were quite devoid of foundation. As to his own opi-
nion with respect to the legality or illegality of such
a matter, ho was decidedly of opinion that it was
illegal. (Hoar, hear.) Until something had been
done Government could not interfere. Application had
been made to the Government for its consent to the arming
of tenantry, but they had invariably been told that the
Government were quite prepared and capable of defending
all loyal subjects, and they warned the parties making the
applications that if such a step were taken they would
incur grave penalties.

demned in costs for breach of promises of marriage.

sons could not be exempted from the liabilities of the In-
solvent Debtors' Act.

LEGITIMACY DECLARATION: ACT.

Mr. T. CHAMBERS postponed proceeding with this bil]
until Tuesday, April 10.
TROOPS IN CHINA.

Col. NORTH said, after Easter, he should move for the
appointment of a select committee to inquire into the con-
dition of the troops in China.
LANDLORD AND TENANT::

Mr. MAGUIRE asked whether it was the intention of
th© Government to introduce a bill for the improvement
of the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland said a mea-
sure on the subject was in course of preparation, and
would be laid on the table after Easter.
THE NEW REFORM BILL.

Sir 11. HOARE asked whether, in the event of the bill
for the representation of tho.people passing into law, it was
the intention to bring forward a measure for the redistri-
bution of seats and the settlement of borough boundaries
early in the ensuing session ?
Mr. H. SEYMOUR also asked whether, in the event o
the franchise bills passing that house, it was the intention
of Government immediately to issue a royal commission,
composed fairly of men of all political opinions, to report
upon the boundaries of boroughs, and a fair redistribution
of seats, so that Parliament may be able to legislate upon
the subject early in the ensuing session ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
very convenient that he should answer these questions
together. The Government thought they would not
thoroughly acquit themselves of the obligations they had
taken upon themselves until they had brought under their
consideration the subject of the revision and redistribution
of seats. The Government, however, must reserve to them-
selves their own freedom asin_tite_Proper time for bringing
forward the motion. With respect to the other question,
he must say that they would do nothing until they could
see their way with respect to the important measure they
had already brought forward. After the settlement of that
matter it might be thought proper to issue a commission
to inquire into the state of the boundaries of towns, with a
view to ascertaining Whether any rectification of the boun-
daries was required. _ _

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 19

No movement of troops has yet taken place on

GUNNERY TRIALS.

Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether, considering the very unsatisfactory trials of the
heavy guns rifled oh the Woolwich and Whitworth sys-
tem; he thought it desirable to proceed further with the
manufacture of guns upon either of those systems, 8:c. ?
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he was aware
that the Woolwich system of bore had proved a failure.
With respect to the Whitworth, they had no information to
prove such an impression, or to prove the accuracy of the
oval bore. There would be no objection to lay on the
table papers connected with the trials of the Armstrong
and Whitworth guns.
RETIRED CAPTAINS.

Admiral ERSKINE asked if it was intended that the
captains placed on the-reserved list (F.G.) by the orders in
council of 1851, 1856, and 1860, who did not now acquire
an increase of half-pay by seniority, should benefit by the
additional pay or pensions which the Admiralty would now
have to bestow ?
Lord C. PAGET said there was no intention to alter
the pay of the officers alluded to.
THE BELLEROPHON.

Sir J. PAKINGTON asked whether it was true that a
temporary addition had been made to the length of the
funnel of the Bellerophon or any other of hor Majesty's
ships, with the object of forcing her to greater speed during
her trial at the measured mile than she could attain under
ordinary circumstances ?
Lord C. PAGET said the alteration or addition was
made by the Messrs. Penn, the engineers, merely to ascer-
tain whether a better draught could be introduced into the
engine room. It had not been done to force her speed.
The same thing had been done to the right hon. baronet's
own ship, the Warrior.
FIRE INSURANCE,

Mr. H. SHERIDAN postponed proceeding with this bill
until after Easter.
TILE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. HUNT moved the adjournment of the house for the
purpose of making some remarks on the impolicy of the
order issued by the Government with respect to cleansing
the cattle trucks on railways. They would soon be again
called into requisition, and ho thought Government had
done wrong in leaving the matter to the railway com-
panies themselves. Government inspectors ought to be
appointed.
Sir G. GREY said he thought the steps taken by the
Government would be found quite equal to the necessity,
and that the trucks would not be used until they were de-
on was withdrawn and

THE DAY 0 F HUMILIATION.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that
the committee do not meet to-morrow, on the occasion of
its being the day of humiliation, until one o'clock.
Mr. BOUVERIE:said he should object to such an arrange-
ment. The witnesses and other persons were all in town, and
groat expense would be incurred if such a course was
adopted. The Government had not thought proper to re-
commend to her Majesty to appoint a day of humiliation,

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The 13th Hussars are held in readiness to march
from Norwich and Ipswich to-day and to-morrow,
en route to York and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The strength -of the camp at Aldershot, now
materially reduced by the departures for Ireland,
will soon be augmented by the 66th Regiment from
Devonport, the 48th from Shorneliffe, and the 81st
from Gosport. The 65th and 89th Regiments and
the 15th Hussars are also expected to be stationed
at the camp during the summer.
An inquest was held at Aldershot on Wednesday
on the body of Sergeant Robert Smart, 17th
Regiment. It appeared from depositions made by
the deceased just prior to his death, and also
from the statements of several witnesses, that on
the night of the Gth inst. several sergeants of the
17th Regiment were in the mess-room after
the prescribed hours. Two of them named Pil-
kington and Switzer respectively were "larking,"
and the deceased attempted to separate them,
when Switzer, who appeared angry at the inter-
ference, said, " I will just give you the same,"
and he kicked the deceased in the abdomen, not,
however, as the latter supposed, with the intention of
inflicting any severe injury. The kick produced
hernia, and, according to the medical evidence, was
the cause of death. Sergeant Daniel Smart, brother
of the deceased, stated that while attending his
brother in hospital the latter sent him with a mes-
sage to Sergeant Switzer, telling him not to fret, as
they had been very good friends. The jury returned
a verdict of manslaughter against Sergeant Switzer,
who had been arrested. He was admitted to bail in
two sureties of £3OO each. The deceased was in-
terred on Thursday with the usual military honours.
He leaves a widow and two children.

Letters received from her Alajesty's screw troop
steamship Adventure, dated Hongkong, Jan. 30,
state that she was expected to be paid out of com-
mission there, and the officers and crew sent to Eng-

The screw steam frigate Doris, 30, Capt. Vesey,
which left Plymouth Sound on Wednesday morning

DEATH OF GENERAL YUSUF.—We have to an-
nounce the death at Cannes, of General Yusuf, com-
mander of the military division of Montpellier. The
deceased officer, 'who was a native of Algeria, first served
as a private in an Arab cavalry regiment, and obtained his
grades, followed by his naturalisation for
_distinguished
services, at the taking of Bougia especially and for his
devotedness to France. He was also the author of several
works on the affairs of the colony. He had only reached
his 60th year,
