SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 30th ultimo have
reached us. The result of the elections,, so far as
they were known, was favourable to the Cabinet ;
indeed, some of its friends thought tbem too
favourable, inasmuch as from the absence of oppo-
sition divisions would be' likely to break out in
the Conservative party. It was stated that M.
Olozaga, who, as has been already stated, is now
chief of the Progressists, was of opinion that
the members of that party who have been
elected, being so few in number, ought not to
take their spats. Some Carlista having been,
elected, curiosity was felt as to whether they
would take their oaths t() the Queen or not. It
had been reported that the Vicalvarists intended
to publish a manifesto, but the report was un-
founded, and Marshall O'Donnell, their chief, was
about to leave for the country. A treaty for defi-
nitively settling the frontiers of Spain and Portugal
was about to be concluded between the two coun-
tries. The Countess de Montijo had give a brilliant
soirée and concert. The Queen had presented
twelve fine horses to Prince Adalbert of Bavaria.
A letter says :—" The Mexican agent in this city is
employing, officially end nor officially, all his efforts
to calm down the Spanish government, but the
latter is determined to act energetically in the event
of full reparation for its grievances not being made."

SOUTHAMPTON,
SATURDAY MORNING.

The United States mail steamer Hermann, Capt.
Higgins, arrived off Cowes early this morning, and,
having landed her mails and passengers for South-
ampton, proceeded on to Bremen.
The. Hermann left New York on the 21st ult.,
and has consequently been anticipated by a Lew
hours by the Leopold, arrived last night.
The Aspinwall correspondent of the' New York
Daily Times .sends that paper a full official list from
the Adjutant-General of General Walker's army of
all the men who at various times have joined his
force. This statement, which is highly interesting
and important, gives the following summary :
Whole number reported, 2,288 ; whole number
there, 2,277 ; aggregate deaths, 685 ; killed in
action, 131; resigned, 27 ; discharged, 206 ; de-
serted, 293: missing, 114 ; remaining in the
army, February 24, 733. This does not include
all. The whole of Walker's force in Nicaragua at
the present time is thus seen to be not far from
1,000. •

The steam ship Lima arrived at Panama on the
9th March, bringing dates from Valparaisa to the
15th, and Callao to the 26th February.-
The Peruvian war steamer Trombes arrived at
Paita on the 16th, from Huanchaco. Gen. Caravedo,
and a revolutionary force of about 200 men, left
next day for La Huasca, to recruit his men pre-
vious to marching on Piscora.

The Peruvian war steamer Loa arrived at Paita on
the 27th from Lambayeque, for coal and provisions.

General Vivanco has left Traxillo with all his
forces, and taken up quarters at Lambayeque.
General Caravedo took possession of the city of
Piscora after six hours' fighting. Loss of killed
and wounded very considerable on bothsides. The
Piscoranos fought bravely.
The New York Stock Market opened and closed
heavily on the 20th ult. At the first Board the
Pennsylvania Coal Company declined per
cent. ; 'Delaware and Hudson, ; New York
Central Railroad, ; Erie, 4 ; Reading, ; Michi-
gan (Southern),. ; Illinois Central Railroad, 2 ;
Cleveland and Toledo, I. Cleveland and Pittsburg
advanced . per cent. ; Milwaukie and Mississippi,
; La Crosse and Milwaukie, 4. The most im-
portant movement was in Illinois Central Railroad
stock. It opened at 1334 sellers, 60 days, and
closed at 1324 per cent. buyers, three days, and
sold down to 1311 sellers, 60 days. The sales were
unusually large, and contracts on time were put out
freely. !New York Central Railroad sold to some
extent to. day, and closed weak. Reading was ac-
tive, and stock was freely offered at the decline.
At the second Board lower prices ruled all round.
Reading Railroad fell off ± per cent. ; Michigan
(Southern), k ; Illinois Central Railroad, j ; Cleve-
land and Toledo, ; New York Central, ; Erie,
. The (market closetd heavily, and prices were
gradually settling down again.
The Hermann had 60 passengers; of whom 12
were far Southampton, and 40,0 tons of cargo, and
400 tons for Bremen.

PORTLAND, MARCH 20.

The barque Tasmania, from Liverpool, via Nas-
sau, New Providence, with a cargo of salt, iron,
&c., drifted ashore last night in the fog, near Cape
Elizabeth Light. The crew were saved, but tho
vessel will probably be a total loss.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.
By the arrival at Cowes of the Belgian Royal
Mail steamer Leopold I. we have papers from New
York to the 21st ult., two clays later than those
received at Liverpool by the Emeu. The Leopold
I. brings four passengers for England.
The screw steamer, from Liverpool, arrived at
Boston on the 20th. There is not much news by
this arrival.

Another dreadful railroad accident had occurred.
It happened on the Pennsylvania Railroad at the
Altona Station. An emigrant train standing on the
rail was
run into by a heavy freight train, crushing
the rear car into the one before it, and causing the
instant death of six of the passengers, and muti
lating 10 or 12 others.
On the 20th ult. in the Supreme Coutt, Judge
Roosevelt gave a decision in the case of William
Patton and others against the Accessory Transit
Company and Commander Vanderbilt. Special
points were reserved, and the application for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the company's ships was
refused. The judge said the debt which the plain-
tiffs wished to secure amounted to only 521,000,
while the property to be placed in. a, receivez's

hands :was worth $1,000,000. Moreover, Com-
mander Vanderbilt offered security in the sum of
$600,000, and his responsibility was not
.questioned
by the parties. • .
The Unit was at New York on the 20th: •

_
The steamer Tennesse arrived from Aspinwall
with news from Nicaragua, New Granada, Vene-
zuela, and the South Pacific. The accounts were
not so favourable as the Tennessee had been in the
habit of bringing. Walker was at Rivas, but it is
reported that there was much disaffection among
his men. Sir R. Maclure had visited him and also
several American_ officers. Col. Lockridge had
failed to take Castillo Fort in consequence of the
cowardice of Gel. Titus, formerly of Kansas, and.
was waiting further reinforcements. An important
correspondence of General Mora had been inter-
cepted. The news is interesting in its details, but
not of particular importance.

No decisive movement had been made, by either
side. All sorts of rumours were rife at Panama re-
lative to the position of affairs between the New.
Granadian Government and the United States. A
report prevailed that our Minister, Mr. Bowling,
and Mr. Morse, our special Commissioner sent out
with reference to the Panama massacre, had de-
manded their passports, the Government of New
Granada having rejected the overtures they were
instructed to present.
The local press and many influential persons
were industriously creating a violent prejudice
against all Americans. The sloop of war Decatur
had arrived at Panama.
From Peru we learn that, the Revolutionists
under Tivanco were making but little progress.
They had, however, captured the brig of war Guise
in the harbour of Callao. On the 20th the sales of
cotton embraced about 3,000 bales, including a
portion in transit.
The foreign news by the Alps had no effect upon
prices. The latest advices from the Gulf ports, and
especially New Orleans, were considered of more
importance than those received by the steamer fr )ra
Liverpool. The highest grades of flour were in fair
demand, while common qualities were neglected
and dull. Wheat was irregular, with a tendency
to lower prices.. Sales of Southern white were
made at $1 60e. ; and prime red ditto, at $1 55c.
Corn was heavy, and prizes easier. Sales embraPed
Western mixed, at 70c. to 71c. ; inferior Southern
yellow, at 70c. ; yellow, old, at 70c. ; old ditto and
white, at 74c. to 76c.
Pork was more buoyant, and new mess closed at
24c.

Sugars were steady, with sales of 500 and 600
hogsheads and 500 boxes.
Coffee was in fair demand, with sales of about
1,700 bags Rio, 1,200 bags St. Domingo, and 200
mats Java.
Freights to Liverpool for grain were better, and
corn in bulk was engaged at 6d.
