111ADRID, OCT. 19.

The King approached Madrid yesterday evening at
four o'clock. The whole city went out to meet him.
The Royal Cortege was received with the greatest enthu-
siasm, and entered the city amidst the loudest acclama,
mations of the people. Shouts of Long live the King,"
-and " Long live the Queen and the Princesses," were
beard from all parts.
I can scarcely describe to you the joy which pervades ail
classes of people from the liberal measures which have
been adopted since the Queen has been intrusted with the
management of affairs. Our funds have in consequence
been affected in a most extraordinary manner.
The Five per Cents, which last Thursday were 342, have
risen to 44, and the Four per Cents, which were at 28,
arc now 38, and all the other funds have risen in the same
degree, and there appears every probability of a still
greater rise, as tie confidence of our capitalists is at its
height, and a confilent expectation is entertained that the
immense resources of this beautiful country will now be
developed in such a manner as to re-establish its financial
credit on a solid foundation.
The army has pronounced itself decidedly for the young
Princess, and the removal of the Captains-General of
Provinces and Regents of Audience (Regentes de Audien
cia) known to he favourable to the Carlists, and their sub-
stitution by men of other principles (hombres puros), has
given universal satisfaction throughout the kingdom.
A complete amnesty for all Liberals, with the excep-
tion of those who voted the Regency of Seville it)
1823, has already been signed, and will be promulgated in
a day or two.
Amongst the new nominations the following have taken

pace
Superintendent General of Police—Don Martinez de
San Martin, who was Political Chief of Madrid in 1822.
Inspector of Cavalry—General Freyre.
Governor of Cadiz—General Zarco de Valle
Besides these there are several other nominations to im-
portant offices of persons who were in the Ministries of
1820, 1,2, and 3.
In a few days the ancient Cortes of the. Kingdom will
be convoked, and, in finet.a new epoch of prosperity seems
to have commenced, and we cannot but flatter ourselves
with the prospect of having a G .vernment more in unison
with the policy of the enlighten'-d nations of Europe.
It appears fro,n the same Correspondence, that in. con-
sequence of the turn affairs are ,akin, the most lively
hors are i dulged that an act of justice will, at no dis-
tant period, be done to the hold-rs of Spanish h, fir's,
a!'hou4, hitherto, of course, the new Ministers hive hat:
no time to make t!,is pain;- a kui,ject of disrussion. Al-
though saw:, nioely expressed, this must, however, at pre-
at:nt ±te deemed only a matter of opinion.

Naval men laugh at the idea of sending a
fi et up the Scheldt ; the navigation is so dangerous, and
the passage so well fortified, that even in the milder season
of summer it were next to an impossihility for a fleet to
get up; and now the difficultits are an hundredfold greater
owing to the severity of the weather. Should Russia take
part with Holland, which is strongly suspected will he
the case, King WILLIAM may bid defiance to any tifirts
England and France can raise against him Carptarthen

CAUTION.—A gentleman returning from
Kensington on Saturday, in one of the omnibuses, wis
robbed of his pure, containing seven sovereigns. He did
not di,c,wer his loss until a few minutes after he was set
down; upon recollecting the kind of person who sat next
to him in the omnibus, he bad no doubt that he must have
h° en one of those numerous unsuspected set of fellows
who form or belong to the gang denominated the " swell
mob."

A PUGNACIOUS M.P.—On Saturday last
(says a Caruarvon Paper). about 11 o'clock in the fore-
noon, as our respected townsman, P. G. JONES, Esq ,
solicitor (and law agent for our Liberal and popular can-
tiidate, W. H. YELVERTON, Esq.), was passing tl,e Cro's,
he was met by J. JONES, Esq., our present Member, who
unceremoniously produced a printed notice to which the
names of both were affixed, and dem ,nded of Mr. P. G.
JONES if he were the author. This was, with perfect
truth, denied ; when the Member, prefacing the act by an
emphatic mode of contradiction, struck him in the face.
Air. JONES instantly returned the favour, and, as we are
informed, with increased severity, when a crowd of fi nit
and fish venders rushed in and separated the combatants.

A TROLLOPE.—A friend, who has returned
from New York, informs us that, being at the theatre
one night before he s died, he saw a man in the boxes sit
with his back to the pit, and his coat-tails banging over,
just as Mrs, TROLLOPS has sketched one. The audience
noticed and immediately raised the cry of " Trollop- !

Trollope!" which drove him to a more becoming posture.
He also declares that every violation of tienseance is now
called a Trollope.—Athenceum. [The men who in our
London theatres walk upon the cushioned benches in their
muddy boots will, perhaps, take a hint from th
• BOTANICAL RESEATICHES.-A BLESSED
-SLIP--On Wednest:ay, a lad, named PATRICK SLATTERY,
was arrested on the information of 31r. 13OURNE,ot Tere-
nure, by a party of the police from Dublin, and brought
before the Mtgistrates at Petty Sessions, in llathfarnham.
It appelreil that SLATTERY- was the very pink of plun-
derers, having been in the habit of transplanting, under
tare rose, qufantities of valuable flower loots, the property
of Mr. BPURNE. The officers who arrested him, deposed
also, that they then observed his pockets exhibit a re-
markably bulbous appearance. and on being searched, they
found they contained a portion of the property alleged to
have been stolen, Tll2 Magistrates observed, that the
prisoner was an ill-weed, and bad been badly trained,
when such pursuits were the result, and advisee: him to
root out from his future walks such thievish propensities ;
egid in order to give him leisure and opportunity for prun-
ing them, they directed that he should be efiglafted on the
. tread-mill for three months. This hopeful tulip was then
removed to vegetate in Kdqtainham —Dutliu Express.
THE CONDOR.-A pair of these noble birds
- was landed yesterday from the Rebecca, from South Ame;-
rica. They are male and female, and by far the largest
specimens ever brought to this cone:try, the male measur-
ing very nearly 14 feet across the wings, and is upwards
of three feet in height. Twenty years ago, a single muti-
lated skin was all that was known of this, the largest of all
rapacious birds. The specimens just imported would al-
most tend to induce belief in the miraculous ta'ts related
of the condor, or rock, in the " Arabian Nights." These
birds were brought front Chili, where they are met with
in the regions of perpetual snow, and at an elevation of
15,000 tent above the level of the sea, where they are seen
verelied on the rocks, and never descend to the plains but
much pressed by hunger. In company, two of these
givantio birds make attacks on the lama and small heifers.
The tenataiy of life evinced by these birds is extraordinary.
At Quite one .was taken by some Indians, wit° piced
a lasso round its neck, hung it up on a tree, and pulled it
-• .forcibly by the feet. . On removing the het() the bird got
up and walked off. Four shots
-were then lo,lged in dif-
ferent parts of the body, but it did not die for I If an
hour. Daring the removal of the bird's yesterday irom
the vessel, the male dropped one of is largest feathers
from the wing, and it measured an inch and & halt in cir-
cumference. They are destined for the Surrey Zoologitial
_ .

Gardens.
SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS.—A near-sighted in-
divi„':ral cannot see the countenanees of persons in a large
room, he cannot distinguish the features of players On a
stage, be cannot describe pictures in a room ; for all these
purposes he rss2 quires concave glasses. This is' a defect of
vision found in 01111 g persons; perhaps at from fourteen I
to eighteen years of ~p.gp they begin to detect it. Yung
persons do not like idea o‘gaing glasses; and they want to
know whether or not they may es ely do so—wh-ther : the
employment of glasses is to assist them permanently.
You may say, certainly, in :.:tech a cos:, that they are abso-
lutely necessary for the purpose of vision, that their me is
not attended with any injury to the nye, ,ibat the employ-
ment of glasses isnot likely to render the eve ,toree, or to
make vision more perfect. It is better the: :..,.con so
circumstanced should use such elassea to
see objects without any unpleasant effort of • the eye.; he
will 110 better with assistance of that hind, than by at-
tempting to strain the eye without it. It should be; ob-
served, that he ought to use a glass that viiil just enable
hial to s e easily and clearly, and not to employ one that
will occasion any fatigue to the eye. . With a glass of the
latter kind he may be entbled to see ,Object. !ztter than
with one of more power, but if it produce' any nneasincss
about the eye, it is a clear proof that the int:;rt:rtenz its too
powerful, and would certainly injure the sight.--.-LaW"
