The Madrid journals of the Bth have reached us.
In the Congress on the preceding day the general
discussion on the bill relative to the governorships
of provinces was closed, and the first article was'
adopted ; the other articles being reserved for con-
sideration in the next sitting. In the Senate no-
thing of interest took place. Some of the journals
say the officers and crew of the Spanish vessel which
lately went to Tangie!'s to receive an instalment of
the war indemnity were very cordially treatod by
the Moorish population, The Government has sent
orders to the authorities at Mahon to receive with
marked attention the officers of a Russian squadron
which is about to visit the Balearic islands. A tele-
graphic cable was successfully laid down between
Mahon and Barcelona so far back as the 29th of
last month, but for some reason not known it does
not work. The semi-official Epoca declares that it
is not true, as stated in some journals, that Spain
is about to come to a rupture with Mexico ; and it
affirms, on the contrary, that the relations between
the two countries have lately assumed a more
friendly character.

Continued activity is reported in the general dis-
count market, and the inquiries at the Bank of B.

soon as the immediate payments on account of the
Indian Loan are completed some slight relaxation 1

in the terms is not considered improbable.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of

England yesterday.
No material variation was exhibited in the
