UNION_ HALL.

STRETCITING A POlNT.—Yesterday a dyer, named
Wilson, was charged with assaulting John Morris, who
acts occasionally as a city officer.
The charge was dismissed, as it appeared that Morris
had also assaulted Wilson.

Mrs. Wilson then came forward, and said that during
her husband's absence at his work, the plaintiff, who had
been an intimate friend, walked into her room, and endea-
voured to induce her to commit au act of infidelity, which
she indignantly repelled.
Did be assault you ? said the Magistrate. Mrs. Wilson
said be laid his hand on her shoulder.

The Magistrates were of opinion that that constituted
an assault, and fined Mr. Morris 40s.

THE SPANISH AMNESTY.

(Front the Madrid Gazette of Oct. 25.)
ROYAL DECREE OF AMNESTY.

Nothing better becomes a magnanimous Prince who
tenderly loves his people, and who has been acknowledged
as such by the fervent prayers addressed by them to Divine
Providence for his convalesence and restoration to health,
nor is anything more agreeable to the feelings of the King,
than the oblivion of the weakness of those persons who,
rather from imitation than from perverseness and insolence,
left the paths of loyalty, submission, and respect, which it
was their duty to pursue, and in which they had formerly
always distinguished themselves. From this oblivion, from
the innate bounty with which the King desires to receive
all his children beneath his glorious mantle of beneficence,
make them participators of his favours and liberality, re-
store them to the bosoms of their families, free them from
the painful yoke to which they were subjected by the neces-
sity of living in strange countries, from these considera-
tions, and still more from the recollection that they are
Spaniards, must spring their profound, cordial, and sincere
acknowledgment of the grandeur and kindness from which
this act of oblivion proceeds, and from the glorious tender-
ness which fills my breast in publishing these generous
bounties arises the joy which they cause in me. Guided,
therefore, by such flattering ideas and hopes, in exercise of
the powers conferred upon me by my very dear and much-
loved consort, and conformably in all things to his will, I
grant the most general and complete amnesty which Kings
have ever yet bestowed to all such as have been persecuted
for political offences, under whatever name they may
have been known or distinguished, excepting from this act
of grace those who had the misfortune to vote for the
deposition of the King of Seville, and those who have com
manded in chief armed forces against his sovereignty.
You shall understand it thus, and take measures for its
execution. Under the Queen's Royal hand.

SPAIN.

(From the Times Private Correspondent.)

MALWaa, Ocx. 9 —The rapid and unexpected recovery
of the King of Spain has turned all the Ministry to the
right about. They imagined that he could not live, and
put a codicil to his testamentary arrangement, appointing
his brother Don Carlos his successor, in prejudice of his
daughter.

Calomarde is banished from the Court and Madrid, and
all the ethers are turned out. The new Ministry is, as
stated in the list which has this moment reached me,—
Don Francisco Zea Bermudez (now in London), State.
Carranza, Grace and Justice.
Monet (now at Algesiras), War.
La Borde (now commanding the squadron at Haven-
nab), Marine.
Eucina y Piedra, Finance.
The following Captains-General are appointed :
Duanoy (formerly Go-
vernor of Malaga) to Galicia, . vice Eguia.

Santocildes
Pusterla .
Cantarac .

to Granada, . vice Moreno.
to Estremadura, vice Sin Juan.
to Castille, . vice O'Donnell,

Thus the whole plot of the King's brother, Don Carlos,
has been discovered, and the execrable Ministers have
received their reward. They have long existed on hu-
man sacrifices. They have tyrannized over the country,
and cut down every one who stood in their way. They
—yes, they employed the infamous Moreno to kidnap
and destroy Torrijos and his party. You already know
how far that succeeded, and the wretch was rewarded by
being made a Lieutenant-General, and Captain-General
of the province of Granada. Who but a Calomarde
could have lent a hand to such a transaction ? You also
know that Moreno's correspondence (written in his own
hand) was discovered after Torrijos was shot, and which
correspondence, calculated as it was to deceive any one,
was the cause of the party leaving Gibraltar, and of their
subsequent shocking end. You will now see that Moreno

Government have not yet taken into consideration the fate
of Mr. Boyd and the other British subjects who were shot
without any trial, but they have laid it perhaps to the
right cause, that of b • eing over-pressed with important
matters, and they doubt not it will become thesubject
discussion in its proper time and place. The
new Fil ofst
Minister of State, Zea Bermudez, must have been
pretty
well instructed in all the merits of this question, if not
actually, as he must have been, by Lord Palmerston, he
will have seen all the London papers, and he never would
have tolerated such a monster as Moreno to exist one
moment in command. Zea is a moderate man, and will
be likely to do some good for this most unfortunate coun-
try. The last Ministers even sold the recovery of the
rents to one Don Felipe Riera, who, I firmly believe, was
in league with Den Carlos and others in a kind of part-
nership to get the whole country into their hands, as well
as a large fleet of vessels, under the denomination of guards-
costas. These vessels, as well as the rents to a certain
extent, have been under the management of the agents of
Riera, and in no way under the control of the Govern-
ment Officers. In short, the country has been torn to
pieces by the intrigues of those about the Government,
and the want of determination on the part of the King;
and the party of Prince Carlos have gone so far as to have
money coined
with his bust, &c. What it will all end
in is not easy to divine ; but the return of the troops from
the frontiers of Portugal to Madrid, and the appointment
of moderate and enlightened Ministers, must certainly
operate in favour of Don Pedro's cause in Portugal, for
hitherto his progress has not been great. The towns in
that country have no means of declaring in his favour, for
if they are not actually priest-ridden, the priests hold
them in terrorem, and would not hesitate to sacrifice thou-
.ands in cold blood. Miguel's party is kept up entirely by
the church. If I were allowed to indulge a hope in Don
Pedro's favour, it would be that the rainy season would
discomfit his enemies. It is a very wet country, and it
will puzzle the Miguelites to keep their guns and stores
above ground, while their men will never be able to keep
the field. It appears clear, however, to sue, that the
Miguelites have never dared to hazard a close battle, and
they have allowed Don Pedro to fortify himself uninter-
ruptedly.
Zea Bermudez, if you remember, was obliged to resign
his office of one of the Secretaries of State, in Madrid, on
account of his moderation, and from a wish to adopt some
plan of regulating or modifying the church affairs. He
was then sent to Saxony. If he still retains those notions,
he will have enough to do, for that puppet-show farcical
establishment in this country has power, and no taste for
hesitation about the means of destroying their enemies, but
there are symptoms of decay throughout the whole, and a
vigorous and virtuous Ministry might do much for the
country in opposition to the locusts which are devouring
it, Whoever undertakes to mend things here, will have

enough to do. I have written this in great haste in order
that you know might something of the present state of
things. I shall write you again during my stay here.
