SPAIN.

1 he Madrid journals of the Ist state that the last
accounts from Morocco set forth that the Moors and
the Spanisrds, after the combat of the 30th ultimo,
remained within three-quarters of a league of each
other, but that the Moors had taken up a strong
position on some heights. The Espana Conciliador,
Estado, and Leon Espanol had been seized.
Another detachment of 73 wounded had arrived at
Algesiras. The despatch of troops from Spain to
Morocco was continuing. The Iberia states that
several foreign officers had obtained permission to
serve in the army in Africa. The Gazette publishes
another set of addresses to the Queen from bishops
and chapters expressing approbation of the war.
The number of Moors who attacked Serrallo on the
22d ult. is estimated at about 14,000. They left
nrore than 500 dead on the field of battle. The loss
of the Spaniards amounted to 50 mzn put hors-de-
combat. Private letters state that the Moors had
1,000 killed in the affair of the 25th. On the side
of the Spaniardq, the battalion of Chasseurs of
Madrid particularly suffered, and lost its colonel
and several of its officers.

THE FRENCH NAVY.—The Mouiteur• de la Fichte
states that the French navy is to be reduced by tho dis-
charge, on December 31, of all warrant officers and sailors
who may have completed forty months of service in all,
whatever may be their length of service since the last levy.
It is reported from Rome that since Garibaldi's
resignation the Papal Government has become much more
insolent than it was for a time, and that it now openly sets
at nought the advice of France, and treats M. do Gram-
mont with many devees less respect than formerly.

EAST _INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.

The Indus steamer, Capt. Weeks, has arrived
with the East India and China mails. She left
Alexandria November 21, Malta the 25th, Gib-
raltar the 30th.

The Indus brings 54 passengers, among whom
are Lady Le Marchant, Capt. Sir Wm. Hoste, R.N.,
Sir George Leith, the Hon. Mrs. Fraser, Major-
General Salter, C. 8., &c.
One French brig of war was at Alexandria.
At Malta were her Majesty's ships Renown,
Racoon, Scourge, Caradoc, and Argus.
At Gibraltar, her Majesty's ships Marlborough,
Victor Emmanuel, Orion, James Watt, Agamem-
non, Neptune, Doris, Brunswick, Cadmus, Scylla,
Coquette, and Quail ; and the French and Spanish
fleets.

Gibraltar Exchanges—On London, 511 d. to
51:d. ; Paris, 533 ; Marseilles, 532 ; Genoa, 537.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Ceylon,
hence on the 20th, arrived at Gibraltar on the 24th
and proceeded.
The Tiber steamship, from Liverpool, arrived at
Gibraltar on the 27th, and left nest morning for
Malta and Alexandria.

The Norwegian brig of war St. Thomas, 10 guns,
put into Cadiz on the 23d, from Norway.

Advices from Gibraltar of the 25th ult. mention
the arrival there of the Brunswick, from Malta, on
the previous evening. The Coquette was expected
to leave for England on the arrival of the Mohawk.
A French liner had left for Brest, probably the
Alexandre, which had sustained injury in some
pare of her machinery ; and the Imperatrice for
Toulon. The French steam frigate Foudre was
anchored close to the British flagship tho Marl-
borough; and three French liners were lying in
Algesiras Bay. It was reported that all the
Spanish ports had received instructions to place
vessels from Gibraltar in quarantine in consequence
of the few cases of small-pox that had occurred
among the troops of the garrison. The letters add
that the Spanish troops were getting on very
slowly, and that a portion of the expeditionary
army was encamned at the base of Ape's-hill.

THE STANDING BRIDGE OVER THE
ELBE.

A letter from Hamburg says, it was with no or-
dinary degree of intorest and satisfaction that the
Hamburg Exchange received, a few days ago, the
gratifying announcement of the removal of the last
remaining difficulties to the execution of the im-
portant work of bridging over the Elbe, and placing
this city in immediate connexion with Harburg and
the western bank of the river. Since the comple-
tion of the two similar gigantic undertakings exe-
cuted by Prussia—the standing bridge over the
Rhine at Cologne, and the railway bridge over the
Vistula at Dirschau, near Dantzig—the short dis-
tance (six English miles) between Hamburg and Har-
burg is the sole remaining break in the great line
of railway communication between France and the
Baltic. The wanting link between the cast and
the west is now about to be supplied ; the treaty
between the governments of Hanover and Hamburg
has been signed by the respective commissioners
and will without question obtain the usual ratifica-
tions.

In the execution of this desirable undertaking
some'serious mechanical difficulties will have to be
overcome, but they have been foreseen, and in anti-
cipation already conquered by the engineering
skill of William Lindley, the British chief ongineer
of this city, who planned and executed the system
of sewers which forms an underground network of
streets with an outfall to the Elbe.

Most of your readers are aware that the waters
of the Elbe come down from the interior of Ger-
many in one unbroken mass till they reach the spot
just above this city, where the river is divided into
several small channels separated by different islands,
the principal of which is the Island of Wilhelms-
burg, which lies in the direct line between this city
and Harburg. The chief works will consist of two
separate railway bridges over the two arms of the
Elbe, an embankment for the railroad across the
island of Wilhelmsburg, a new terminus on this
side of the river, and a short extension to the sta-
tion at Harburg.
The bridge over the Northern Elbe will be 1,300
feet long, with four openings or arches each of 325
feet. It was at first proposed to make a swing
bridge in the centre to admit the free passage of
vessels proceeding up and down the river, but when
it was considered that the navigation in question
was confined to upland barges with but one mast
without rigging, which they could very well lower,
the plan was abandoned, and the principle of a
standing bridge throughout substituted in its
place. Another reason for this alteration was that
as, from calculations founded on the present traffic
of goods and passengers betweeh the two banks of
the river, there will be at the opening of the bridge
at least from 30 to 36 trains passing over it every
day, whilst the number will probably double itself
in a very short time, it was found that a swing
bridge must necessarily be inconvenient, and the
regularity of the trains materially interfered with
by the long flotillas of river crafewaiting for the
opening of the bridge, which would often require
many hours to pass through in a single file. It has
been therefore determined to give the preference to
the railway ' • but in order not to interfere unneces-
sarily with the navigation, the bridge will be built
at such a high level as to admit all vessels and
steamers to pass underneath on lowering their
masts and funnels.

No particular technicalities are offered by the
proposed embankment across the Island of Wil-
helmsburg, but at the southern extremity comes the
deep and wide arm of the river called the Southern
Elbe. Here the bridge will be 2,000 feet long (being
200 feet longer than the new standing bridge over
the Rhine at Cologne, lately opened for general
traffic), and have six arches or openings for the
water (and drift of ice in winter), each 333} feet in
width. A double line of rails throughout the whole
distance is considered indispensable.
The new terminus in this city will be erected
near the banks of the Elbe, in the river-suburb known
as the Grasbrcok, and contain an area of 2,500,000
square feet (equal to about 60 English acres). It
will have quays on three sides for the accom-
modation of vessels receiving and discharging their
cargoes, whilst the depth of water will be increased
to 16ft. at low water, which will admit the approach
of any vessel that can get over the sandbanks and
bars in the Elbe and come up to Hamburg from
over sea. The covered end for the arrival and de-
parture of passenger trains will contain 16,000
square feet, and the waiting saloons are to be of
similar dimensions, whilst the platform on each side
will be 1,200 feet long. For the reception of the
goods traffic by land there are to be constructed six
sheds, 50 feet wide, and with an aggregate length
of 1,880 feet., The quayS for the accommodation of
the shipping will present an extended and available
frontage of 3,340 feet, and opposite the vessels will
be erected a series of warehouses 3,760 feet long
and 60 feet wide.

The sum required for the execution of the whole
of the above-mentioned works is seven millions of
dollars, or about a million sterling, one-third of
which will be borne by Hamburg, and the other
two-thirds by Hanover. The Cologne Bridge cost
five millions of dollars, and that over the Vistula at
Dirschau nearly six millions. This is very little,
considering that the bed of both branches of the
Elbe lies on the top of very deep turf-bogs and
marshes substrature, which will render it both
expensive and technically difficult to reach a
favourable spot of sufficient firmness for foundation
purposes. These difficulties b.r.2 greater than thcse
encountered in the beds of the Rhine and Vistula.

PRINCE LUCIEN BONAPARTE IN SUNDERLAND.—
On Thursday, shortly after the shades of evening had set
in, a stout, middle-aged gentleman, of foreign appearance,
attended only by one domestic, was set down at thodoor of
the Bridge Hotel, of this town. The worthy host of this
far-famed hostelry, with that attention and urbanity which
characterises him, welcomed the stranger, whose deport-
ment was of that nature to indicate to the most casual ob-
server that ho was a gentleman of some rank. The ample
resources of this large establishment were soon brought into
play, and by and bye it was whispered about that the
stranger was a person of considerable importance, and a fur-
ther inquiry elicited that he was no less than Prince Lu-
cien Bonaparte, son of the late King of Holland, and cousin
to the present Emperor of the French; and that ho had
arrived in Sunderland from the south. It was known that
Prince Lucien had been in the county rot a long time pre-
vious collecting materials for the publication of his transla-
tion of the Bible into the dialects of England. But what
could be the nature of his mission to Sunderland? Here spe-
culation was at fault. His stay, however, was but short,
ho took his departure on the following morning at nine
o'clock for Newcastle, en route to Carlisle. It is said that his
departure was much accelerated by hearing of the great suc-
cess which had attended the first drill that day of the patriotib
spirits who have joined the rifle corps of this town. It is
further added that before his departure he made minute in.
quiries respecting the proximity of the village of Cleadon to
Sunderland, and the strength of the fortress occupied by the
" second man" who signed the volunteer roll. Whether
the projected invasion of England will be made at Whit•
burn, and the encampment of the invading hosts formed
near Cleardon Hall, are events yet " looming in the future."
Whatever may happen, it is satisfactory to know that the
" Lord of the Hall" has his rifle ready, and " keeps hie

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE
SHOW, 1859.

THE PRIVATE VIEW AND AWARDS.

Last evening the private -view of the Smithfield
Club Cattle Show to the members of the club, the
various competitors, and the Press, took place at
the Baker-street Bazaar, which. was brilliantly
lighted for the occasion.
The judges commenced their labour of examina-
tion of the stock at an early hour in the morning,
and in consequence of the number and general ex-
cellence of the specimens, the arduous duty of
coming to a conclusion, as to the awards, occupied
a more than ordinary amount of time, and it was
not until late in the evening that their labours
were completed. In order to disabuse the minds
of the public that there can be any possibility of
favouritism in the award of the prizes, the fact
may be mentioned that the animals are, in the first
instance, classed by the stewards, and simply num-
bered by them; and the judges are not even per-
mitted to enter the show-yard until the morning
before the opening of the show, on which they are
required to make their examination of the speci-
mens assembled for competition, and determine on
their awards. The instructions to the judges
are of a stringent character. The first rule laid
down for the guidance of the judges by the club,
states :—" After the animals shall have been classed,
and a number affixed over each animal or pen, the
judges, without knowing the names of persons or
places, until after their decisions, are to decide by
their numbers only, and to judge which are the
best stock, having regard, in forming their judg-
ment, to quality of flesh, lightness of offal, age, and
early maturity in sheep and pigs, and also in oxen
that have not been worked. and in cows, according
to their age and number of calves ; but the judges
are requested to observe that the prizes are offered
without restrictions as to feeding, yet they are to
keep strictly in view the object for which the
Smithfield Club was originally instituted, viz., the
supply of the cattle markets of Smithfield and other
places with the cheapest and best meat."

The judges are also directed not to award any
prize or prizes unless they shall deem the animal or
animals exhibited for such prize to have sufficient
merit, especially where there is no competition.
The judges are to have the whole of Monday,
the sth December, for making the adjudication
and signing their awards, without the admission
of members, strangers, or candidates, either into
the committee-room, or any part of the yard.
These regulations, therefore, clearly establish
the fact that so far as the club is concerned,
they take every precaution to prevent anything
like favouritism in the awards of the prizes,
and that the real merit of the animal or animals,
and not the consideration of who may happen to be
the owners, solely operate in the distribution of the

prizes.
The private view was appointed to take place at
half-past eight o'clock. Shortly before two, how-
ever, a telegram was received from Windsor,
stating that his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort would pay a visit to the show in the course of
the afternoon. His Royal Highness arrived at the
Bazaar shortly before four o'clock, accompanied by
Colonel Wood and General Grey, and was escorted
through the show by Mr. Brandeth Gibbs, the se-
cretary, Mr. Boulnois, jun., and the stewards of the
club. His Royal Highness was much pleased with
the general character of the show, and expressed
his acknowledgments to that effect to Mr. Gibbs
on leaving. His Royal Highness remained in the
show examining the specimens about two hours.
Amongst the other noblemen and gentlemen
present at the private view were the Marquis
Camden. the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Berners,
Lady Piggott, Lord Challenor, the Earl of Fever-
sham, andlother distinguished members of the club
and competitors.

Notwithstanding the outcry which has been at•
tempted to be got up as to the want of space at the
Baker-street Bazaar for the purposes of the show,
there was unmistakeable evidences that there is

ample space for many more specimens than were
exhibited, although the entries are quite equal to
those of any former year. Notwithstanding this,
we were told a limited liability company has pre-
pared a model for a new establishment, which can-
not come: into operation before 1863,[0n the site of
the cattle layers at Islington, to lay before the Club
at the annual meeting this day.
The general opinion as to the character of the
show is, that it exceeds the average excellence, a
fact borne out by the circumstance that there is a
complete concurrent opinion between the judges at
the late Birmingham show and those of the Smith-
field Club, many of the specimens which carried off
the leading prizes at Birmingham being also
placed in the posts of honour in London. The
Devon classes are not generally looked upon as ex-
hibiting their usual excellence, although the second
class is more equal than any of the others. The
Prince Consort has failed on this occasion to hold a
distinguished position with his specimens in these
classes, although his Royal Highness has been most
successful in the pigs, carrying off this year the
gold and silver medals, and the highest prize of
£lO. The first prize in the Devons has this year
been obtained by Mr. Robert Farthing, of North
Petherton, near Bridgwater, for his two years and
eleven months old Devon steer, which is really a
beautiful animal. The grand prize of the show, in
the cattle classes, has been carried off by Mr.
Richard Shirley, of Munslow, for his two years six
months and twenty-seven days old Hereford steer,
which also obtained the gold medal as the best
animal in the classes at Birmingham. The great
point of excellence about this animal is its early
maturity. In class eleven Colonel Towneley hav
carried off the first prize for his three years and
seven months old short-horned heifer, which ob-
tained the corresponding prize at the Birmingham
show. The Polled Scotch and other animals of that
class are considered of a very superior character.
In the sheep classes the Duke of Richmond has this
year been beaten in his South Downs by his old
antagonist, Mr. Rigden, of Hove, near Brighton ;
and in the long-woolled sheep classes the gold
medal has been gained by Mr. Francis Jordan, of
Eastburn, near Driffield, Yorkshire, for his pen of
20 months old Leicesters. The show of sheep does
not appear to be so extensive as that of former
years ; but the pigs are in as full force as ever, and
exhibit their usual amount of obesity.
The implement galleries appear to have been ar-
ranged upon a new principle, which, while there is
every accommodation preserved for the locomotion of
the public, affords more room to the various stands for
the exhibition of the various specimens, as well as for
those appropriated to the show of agricultural pro-
duce. On entering the gallery from King-street, the
first stand which attracts the notice of the visitor is
that of Messrs. Thomas Gibbs and Co., the seedsmen
to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, which
this year, whether in rivalry to the Root and Seed
Show at the Crystal Palace, has not been ascer-
tained, appears to have been elongated to nearly
double its ordinary space ; and hero are exhibited
Brobdignagian turnips, mangold wurtzel, carrots,
parsnips, &c., not to be surpassed, if equally, by
any other show, whether at the Crystal Palace or
elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Immediately
opposite the stand of Messrs. Gibbs is a stand of
implements, profusely decorated with the flags of all
nations, surmounted by the British standard. This
proved to be the show of implements by Messrs.
Burgess and Key, of Newgate-street, including
MgCormick's celebrated American reaping machine,
with the improvements of the firm, and which, it
appears, has obtained for them in competition not
only the gold medals of every agricultural show in
England, but also at the great reaping competition
on the estate of the Emperor of the French during
the present year in France, where it beat all other
machines for reaping, both native and foreign, and
received the first prize, and the gold medal of
honour from the hands of the Emperor on that ac-
count. Amongst the other attractions of the imple-
ment galleries is a stand devoted to the service of
the gentleman who has cartooned the metropolis
and every lar2e town in England, with the por-
traits of animals said to have benefited by his in-
vention of a composition suitable to their digestive
organs, yclept " Thm ley's Food for Cattle." This
stand is profusely decorated with colossal paintings
of bull's heads, extremely fatand well-proportioned
horses, enormously distended sheep, and obese
porkers, who have all, or supposed to have all par-
taken of the benefits of " Thorley's food." There
are the steam-engines of the Messrs. Tuxford, the
harvest-gathering and threshing machin es of Messrs.
Clay, Shuttleworth, and Co.;and in the galleries are
the stands of Messrs. Croskill, Wedlake, Hornsby,
and Co., and the implements manufactured at the St.
Pancras Iron works. Messrs. Harvey and Co.,
Lawson and Co., Sutton and Co., and George Gibbs
and Co., exhibit beautiful specimens of agricultural
produce,
and at the latter stand will be found a
mammoth gourd, weighing
2341b5. Altogether this
department is quite equal to the show of any former
years. and will no doubt attract its usual amount
of attention.
The show opens to the public this day and will
continue open daily till Friday evening, when it
will finally close.

2104.VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Business has been moderately active in the
°reign and Colonial Produce Markets during the
last few days, and prices generally have been well
eliPported. Tea, however, has been dull; sugars
Vere in good demand, particularly the better
qualities of British West India, and in the
refined market a fair business has been done
at full prices. For coffee there has been a
moderate inquiry, and in some instances rather
higher rates have been realised. The dealings in
'lee are limited, but no change has taken place in
!Cues. Fruit has been in steady demand, a consi-
derable business having been recorded in low and
inediani qualities of currants at former prices. Salt-
i'
bvtre has been in steady request, but tallow has
!gain shown a great depression, the decline amount-
ing to about 6d. to ls. per cwt.
uziccounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
441rIcet yesterday closed heavily, and 8,000 bales
IVere sold at, in some instances, id. per lb. lower.
1,11 the Railway Share Market the transactions were
haitiLer more extensive, and prices generally ex-
leited an improvement.
The commercial engagements of the 3d and sth
forthe month having been completed, the demand
money is less urgent, and the applications at
the Bank are again of a moderate character. There
ie f a brisk inquiry in the general market, and
1)44! totes are charged for accommodation, very few
lis being negotiated under 21 per cent. Owing to
the usual requirements of the mercantile community
, Wards the close of the year, discount business is
likely to continue active ; but in consequence of
the abundance of money and the accumulation of
6° hi at the Bank, an immediate advance in the
rays is scarcely anticipated.
4 general meeting of the proprietors of the Bank
0,
British North America took place to-day—Mr.
ithr°°l4ing in the chair. The report stated that an
„It°, sing
harvest in Canada had given a fresh im-
-7 to trade, and increased activity in own-
-114°41 transactions was now discernible.
e business of the branches had proceeded
notlti'factorily, and the new building at Victoria, in
okleeuver's Island, was opened for business at the
results
May last. After estimating the probable
dared
of the year's accounts, the directors have
Lared a dividend for the half-year ending 31st
AftBtantf at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
~er a brief discussion the report was adopted.
tn'he English Stock Market opened with a very
:Yant appearance, the enhanced quotations cur-
till eon the previous afternoon being firmly main
till . Business, however, continued very quiet,
settlement of the account still occupying the
attentionll4 of the dealers and brokers. Consols
hoe been 961 to 97 for money, and 97 to
t for the new account. Increased buoyancy,
tnt*.ever, is now apparent, and the present quo-
Till°4B are now 97 and 971 1 respectively.
